Chapter 6…

Morning- Yukihira mansion:

Early in the morning everyone was busy because of the early arrivals of Madam and Sir.

Mia turned around in the kitchen and found the 5 little girls in with bed heads their pajamas "Morning girls."

Still half a sleep Permy asked "What's the hurry?"

"Yeah why is everyone so busy all of a sudden" Anna asked with high curiosity.

"Madam and Sir are arriving early apparently…" Mia sentence faded with a worry look in her eyes and the girls' eyes widen except for Hotaru.

My voice full with curiosity asked "What time will they be arriving?"

"In about 2 hours" This time it was my uncle who answered my question.

"We better get ready then." Nonoko said. My friends and I rushed to my room to get ready.

2 hours later…

Yukihira mansion:

"Welcome Home Madam, Sir" All the maids and butlers said in unison.

"How did the business go" My Uncle asked.

"Went well, Kazumi" Izumi said while giving him brother a hug.

"Welcome home mama, papa" I greeted them with big, bright smile. I was happy that they are back.

"Hello Mrs. and Mr. Yukihira" My friends greeted.

"Oh, hello girls" Yuka said with fake happiness. She never really liked my friends, not because of their social status. I mean Hotaru's famliy company is ranked second in Japan, and first in the technology industry. Anna and Nonoko's family company are tied at third in Japan, while Permy's family company is ranked fourth with Ruka Nogi's family Company.

"We should get going Mikan." Nonoko said but can't hide the terror in her voice.

MY uncle went with my friends. After they left, mama screamed "That's how you behaved after we left! You didn't ask for our permission to have a sleepover! You are a disappointment. I wonder why I even bother to raise you!"

The maids tried to explain but mama just ignored them. Some of them tried to look for my uncle.

I tried to protest "I try and call you but you ign-"

"You dare to talk back to your mother?!" My father yelled in shocked and was enraged.

"NO! I'm no-"

The maids found Kazumi with the girls and told him what happened, my uncle and the girls rushed in and their eyes widen in horror.

*SLAP*

The maids looked in horror. Mrs. Yukihira had just slapped her daughter in front of everyone's eyes. No one has thought that the once kind hearted Yuka Yukihira had just slapped her very own daughter. I looked up, my right cheek swelled with mama's hand mark on. I opened her mouth to talk but was interrupted rudely by my father" You still dare to talk back!?"

"I'm not tr-"

*SLAP*

"Do you know how annoying your voice is? Every time you talk, I want to slap you. And I'm glad I slapped you, you annoying pest!" Yuka screamed at me who am now in shock.

I looked up again, with my right and left cheek swelling. My friends looked at mama with shock.

"I'm not done yet! When I heard I was pregnant, I was happy, but when I found out that it was a girl, I was disappointed. Do you know why? Because I want it to be a boy, girls can't succeed the family company. It was your father who begged me to not abort you!"

I looked at my dad, but he just looked away but I heard him mumble "I regretted though."

I spoke quietly, my voice cracking "You never loved me? Not even once? Did you even care about me?"

Mama starred at me and laughed "Of course I cared for you, but only until I heard rumors about me, I was furious. I wondered why I even bother caring for you when you can't even succeed the family company. To tell you the truth, your father and I adopted a son in France, his name is Yoichi. I hope you understand what that means. If you don't I'll explain, that means you won't succeed the family company, Yoichi will. And just to let you know until you graduate from elementary, you will live with us. But after you graduate, you will move out of the house. But you will still continue your education In Alice Academy after elementary. After you leave, you will not be spoken of in the Yukihira house hold. That means in this house Yoichi is the only child. But you will be joining us in public if needed. Oh and by the way, from now on you can't talk in this household. Your voice annoys me so much. "

My eyes widen in shock, I can't believe what I had just heard. My parents will kick me out when I graduate from elementary. I will have a brother, who will succeed the family company. In other words, my parents won't acknowledge me. I loved them, but how can I be so blind? I asked myself why I couldn't please my parents like other kids. When I looked up again, I asked "When will Yoichi arrive?"

"He's already here; he's in the car sleeping." My father spoke coldly to me.

"Who will support me when I leave the house?" I asked, my eyes filled with tears.

"We will." Papa answered again.

"Where will I live?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

"You will live in one of the houses that are under your name." her father spoke "Whatever we gave you; we will not take it back. That includes: 5 vacation houses, 2 houses, some land, money, and a small part of the company."

I looked up when I heard the last part.

"Kazumi told me how well you did in the business course so I will give you a small part of the company. You can spend time with Yoichi if he lets you. And you're mother's right, your voice is annoying."

With that said my parents left me. But in my mind they left me all alone in the dark with no hope, support, and love.

When a small boy walked in front of her she looked up. He has sliver grey hair, and green eyes. In other word; he was Yoichi. He helped her up, and said "I heard everyting and don't worry."

I smiled at him and was about to say thank you when I remembered my parents word.

"You can twalk to me. I won't twell." Yoichi said.

I smiled and said "thank you Yoichi."

Yoichi blushed and walked away.

My friends ran up to me and hugged me. They cried not believing what the future has in hold for me. When they saw my eyes the cried even more; my eyes were shattered, full of sadness, hollow, unlike before; full of happiness, sparkle, life.

"We'll stay over tonight again." Hotaru said. And rest nodded

"Yoichi seems to like Mikan." Kazumi said "You guys should invite him."

"We should, he doesn't seem too bad." Permy said and at that moment Yoichi walked down.

"Yoichi do you want join our sleepover?" Anna asked.

"Can I jwion?" Yoichi asked quietly.

"Of course you can join" Permy smiled at him.
