Chapter Three

Mikan

"Welcome to Hyuuga's Mansion." a woman with hair colored in pink greeted.

It'd been a two weeks since the accident. I was about recovered, my bruises were still tender but I can feel myself slowly returning to my normal self.

I smile at the woman. "Hi! I'm Mikan Sakura."

"Oh! I know your name, dear." She told me with a smile. "I'm Anna Umenomiya, the cook and kind of like the head maid."

I was gestured to follow her into a hallway that leads to the kitchen.

"Dear! Sit for a while, okay? I'll just get Aoi."

I sat down on a stool.

The kitchen was magnificent. The house was simply amazing. This was overwhelming. How did I ever put myself in this situation?

You see, while I was still admitted to the hospital, I was offered a large sum of money because of my bravery but I really didn't want to accept anything. I told them that I did it because it was the right thing to do.

They asked me if I wanted anything. I told them that I didn't.

Then one day, I received a contract, a proposition to be Aoi's nanny. In the contact it states that I would be given financial help for my studies and other financial issues would be attended to. I was also would be given a salary and other bonuses. It also stated that I was to live in their house. There were a lot of perks on this job.

"What should I do?" I asked Tsubasa.

"Clearly you should take the job!" he replied.

"Bu- but what about my job at your café?"

"Mikan, there are more prospects in this job" He told me while he reached out to take my hand. "And this could solve every problem you have I promise you I would still be your friend no matter what."

I accepted their offer.

What was I doing here? I like Aoi but could I really do this? I knew I can because this was my dream, to teach kids.

Suddenly, my thoughts were disarrayed.

I heard a weird sound coming from an entrance to the kitchen and so I grabbed whatever I could grab which just happened to be this enormous spoon. I listened tentatively and when I saw a shadow emerging I just swung the spoon and hit on the targeted raven haired guy.

I heard him groaned and cursed while I placed myself in the other end of the kitchen, still embraced with the big spoon. He looked around and then he made eye contact with me as he rubbed his head. Amazingly, he survived. It was spoon how bad could it be?

Apparently it didn't even affect him after a nanosecond because he now stormed towards me.

"Are you out of your mind, why did you hit me!?" he shouted as he stepped closer and closer to where I was. I studied him, he was wearing a suit. Maybe he's one the guards of the house. "And who are you anyway, what the hell are you doing inside my house!?"

His house! Wait, his Mr. Natsume Hyuuga!? His was my new boss! And I just happened to hit him.

There was a brief silent until he roared as if he demanded me for answers.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hyu- Hyuuga. I- I thought yo- you-were a murderer. I I- apologize. I'm Mikan Sakura, you know, the new nanny." I replied quickly, terrified.

He stared at me intensely. He had the same eyes like Aoi's, they were crimson. We're they wearing contacts?

"Are you wearing contacts?" I asked with a timid voice.

He shrugged.

"Tsk. Idiot."

Well, that was rude!

"I am not an idiot!" I said.

"You are." he followed soon after with a smirk.

"No, I'm not!" I howled back with my fist by each side of my body. "You're the idiot!"

"Yes, you are" he argued. "You're an idiot for hitting your boss and thinking that murderers can exist in a house secured by many guards."

I was silent.

"Bu- but I'm new and I'm easily scarred by bizarre sounds. And I really hate being alone. I hated waiting. I don't like places I'm not familiar with…" My sentences died after that because I caught myself babbling once again. We stared at each other once again.

"You do know that only reason why I'm not firing you is because you saved my sister's life." he bragged arrogantly.

I hate this guy already, arrogant ass with his intense stares.

Somebody coughed behind us and the stare-off was finished.

Anna was with Aoi.

"Aoi!" I shouted as I opened my arms for her and she immediately went to my side to hug me. "How are you doing, buttercup?

She held up her two big thumbs. I nodded.

She was holding Mr. Bear. Why was Mr. Bear always with her?

I missed her already even if I saw her a lot when I was in the hospital. I want to clear-out that the arrogant-guy standing in front of us, did not visit me at all.

I looked up from Aoi and saw that Mr. Hyuuga was looking at us. I raised my eyebrows at him, challenging him to make a remark.

He shrugged and sat in one of the kitchen stools.

"Anna, prepare me a sandwich." He ordered.

I looked back at Aoi and she smiled. I was falling for her each day.

"Sugar, would you like to play?"

She nodded.

So, we did. We left his arrogant-brother in the kitchen and went up to her room.
