It was rather the usual day at the Magnolia Mansion. No distinctive chatter of children could be heard, no posh parties were going to be held and nor were there any people coming to visit. Yep, the usual, peaceful day. Compared to the mansion however, it's garden seemed to be bursting with life from all throughout its corners. Golden daffodils and tulips were in full bloom with its ever so vibrant colours as if welcoming the arrival of spring. Just beside them was a sea of yellow, red and pink primroses. The infamous magnolia trees, the very trees which the mansion had been named after, themselves, were blooming with white and pink magnolia flowers. A gentle spring breeze blew across the garden which made the flowers sway back and forth and enveloped the atmosphere with a sweet fragrance. The garden really was a marvelous sight to behold and attracted lots of visitors namely the bees, butterflies and birds.

Now, a certain black haired beauty seemed to be admiring the view from her balcony that overlooked the garden. "The garden's rather lively today, isn't it?" she asked a young woman standing nearby, who judging from her attire, looked like a maid.

"It is, young miss", the maid replied with a closed eyed smile.

"What did I say, Daphne", sighed the beauty as she looked up at her from her chair with a disapproving look," Call me Sarah not young miss. Seriously, you make me sound like those overbearing daughters of the mistress that I read in my romance novel. I don't like it."

"But young miss...", protested Daphne.

"Sa - rah", she told her again," Come on, say it".

Daphne was perplexed, she did not get it at all. In the past, if she'd call her old mistress by her name, she would've been deeply reprimanded. Her new young madam was something else indeed.

Reluctantly she agreed ," Al-alright..." Daphne took in a deep breath but all that came out of her mouth afterwards was an inaudible 'Sarah...'

" I can't hear you~ Didn't you eat breakfast this morning?", Sarah teased her as she put a hand behind her right ear, pretending to not be able to hear her.

" Sarah!", the blond maid yelled this time with her hands fisted and eyes closed.

Sarah let out a light laugh. "That's better! Remember to call me by my name in the future 'kay? Otherwise, I won't talk to you!" She puffed her cheeks, folded her arms and looked away as if implying that her threat was not to be taken lightly.

Daphne giggled at her childish act. Young miss is really different from the past mistresses I've worked for. "Okay, I'll keep that in mind Sarah", she smiled.

The beauty grinned in return and focused her attention back to the garden.

" Young miss is really nice", thought Daphne as she looked at her with a gentle smile. The maid couldn't help but admire Sarah's beauty. Even though, it had already been weeks since she had first started working here, she still couldn't get used to it. Her magnificent hazel eyes, not to mention, her long lashes shone brilliantly in the sunlight; her olive skin looked as smooth and flawless as ever; a blissful smile played on her soft, pinkish, plump lips; and her silky, long black hair fluttered in the breeze. On top of all that, she had an absolutely gorgeous figure to boot. She was far more stunning than last year's winner of Miss Georgia who ,in fact, was said that to have been the prettiest lady in the entire state.

. Sarah

The blonde maid shook her head furiously. What was she?!! A guy!?! To have been thinking of young miss like that! Unforgivable!! But... she stared at the beauty again, if she, a girl, couldn't even help but ogle at young miss... Then what would the guys do when they see her... Noooooo!!!! , she internally screamed at the dirty images her mind had displayed in her head. She shook her head fiercely again to get those sickening thoughts out of her mind.

"Why are you shaking your head like that? Is something wrong?" Daphne immediately snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Sarah's question.

"Is something wrong Daphne?", Sarah asked her again, her eyes blinking curiously while staring at the nervous maid.

"It's nothing at all yo... Sarah, I was just thinking about how pretty you are", she answered smiling, intentionally leaving out the part about how her mind played the most sinful images of her in her head.

" Thinking about how pretty I am...", Sarah repeated. "I don't think that I'm that pretty", She mumbled quietly but loud enough for the maid to hear and resumed to admire the garden again with a hint of blush on her cheeks.

Not that pretty, Daphne mentally snorted, If young miss isn't considered to be 'that pretty' as she claimed to be, then what am I? The bride of Frankenstein? She sighed. Young miss is just too modest. But she, at the same time, felt pity for the young girl. Being born with a weak body, she couldn't leave the mansion at all, sometimes even her room as a matter of fact, for if she did she'd seriously fall ill. How lonely must have it been for her all these years. Aside from the maids working here and the young master as well as the old master who , themselves , can't visit her frequently due to their busy schedules, people rarely ever visit her. Let's just hope that she gets better. Besides in own her opinion, Daphne thought that Sarah was looking quite fine for a couple of days now.

Meanwhile, somewhere in London...

" So, Dr. Zakaria, how are the results?", a handsome, old man, who seemed to be in his early fifties, anxiously asked the bespectacled bald man sitting behind the shiny black table with a stethoscope around his neck.

" Well, Mr Fernandez, the test results are very good indeed", the doctor replied while smiling as he checked the papers on which the results were shown. " Your daughter Sarah's health has improved a lot. She can now go outdoors without falling ill if not maybe a slight fever which she'll eventually recover from the next day itself. But be mindful of her diet though, as she needs eat lots of healthy foods to strengthen her immunity system and take note to not give her too spicy foods as it might affect her weak stomach."

He couldn't believe what he was hearing right now. My little Sarah can finally go out...? It seems too good to be true... His eyes brimmed with tears and he covered his mouth with his hand before smiling hopelessly. He couldn't describe the sense of joy he was feeling right now. He could finally, at last, be at ease. His baby girl can finally go out of the mansion and see the world for herself. She can finally see those beautiful landscapes that she always loved instead of him showing her its pictures; finally be able to eat in his favourite restaurant with him, her dad; finally be able to meet with people around her own age and make some some friends as she wished for dearly. She can... can finally be able to live likea normal person.

He immediately sprang out of his seat, thanked the doctor over and over again and shook his hand for about a hundred times as gigantic waterfalls continuously fell from his eyes.

The doctor comically sweatdropped and just smiled saying that it was fine. The two secretaries of the man who was currently making small puddles in the doctor's room were standing outside and quietly witnessing the scene. They both looked at each other before giving one another a thumbs up. Looks like our bonus is guaranteed.

"Mr Fernandez, I understand that you're feeling quite happy and all, but if don't stop crying then I'm afraid the whole room is gonna flood. Besides, I don't know how to swim" Dr. Zakaria told as he handed him another tissue to wipe his runny nose. "Shouldn't you instead be with your daughter right now?"

"That's right! My beloved daughter!!", he exclaimed rather loudly scaring the poor doctor in turn. He quickly wiped away his waterfalls, thanked the doctor for the last time and hurriedly exited out of the room after saying a quick goodbye. He headed straight to the elevator with his two secretaries following him from behind, struggling to keep up his pace.

They quickly got inside the lift and pressed the ground floor button. "Agnes, I want you to book me the nearest and quickest flight..." He was immediately cut off with a 'Done sir ' from his blue eyed female secretary.

" Well very good then and Dave..." The old man wasn't allowed to finish this sentence either as he was abruptly cut off again by none other than his blond male secretary.

"Don't worry sir, I've already cancelled all your appointments for today and postponed the meeting with CEO Jester to the 12th of this month", he stated plainly as they stepped out of the lift.

" I'm impressed you guys. Keep this up and I'll triple your bonus", their boss told them as he walked from the hospital's entrance to his black limousine. The blond secretary did a little ' oh yeah' before he followed his boss into the car.

Right now, the only thing he wanted was to give his daughter a big bear hug, thought Jackie Fernandez as they made their way to the airport.

\\*

So, how was it? Sorry if my writing sucks. Anyhoo, lemme know what you guys think about it in the comment section. Till then, ciao!

Jackie sighed gloomily for the hundredth time that day as he recalled today's events. He looked at the dark, cloudy sky through the glass windows of his presidential suite and sighed again. How he wished to be with his precious Sarah right now. "Should I have been with my baby girl now if not for this stupid weather", he thought bitterly. All the available flights to Georgia including the one he had booked had been cancelled due to the stormy weather so he had no choice but to stay here in London for the time being.

"I just don't get it, why do they have to make such a fuss about a sprinkle of rain", he grumbled. Wasn't the sky clear about five minutes ago?

"Don't worry Jackie", he comforted himself. "This puny rain can't stop you from being with your beloved daughter. I'm sure it will all go away by any minute now. That's right! It'll go away and you'll be able to see the clear blue sky again". He then laughed.

It was as if Mother Nature had heard him that it thundered loudly and the winds began to blow fiercely as heavy rain poured down from the sky.

Looks like he was really stuck here...

" Saraahh!!", he sobbed loudly. "My poor baby girl! Forgive me, Daddy can't make it home today!!!"

Just then, his blue-eyed female secretary walked into the room. "Sir, there's someone here to meet you-", Agnes paused as she saw her boss's miserable state. "I'm sorry for disturbing you sir but CEO Ren Nakamura came here to meet you. Should I tell him to come again another time?"

Hmph! Stupid weather! I don't want to meet anyone right now. Not even Ren! Wait...

" Ren's here to visit me?! Where?", he asked rather excitedly, forgetting all about his sorry state.

"At the door...", she wasn't even finished with her sentence when he rushed out of the room and went to find Ren. Strange boss.

" Ren!", he called out to the grey haired 50 year old man standing near the door as he walked towards him.

"Jack, my old friend", Ren responded using the nickname he gave him during their college days as they both warmly embraced each other. It went for a while until - "You've gotten quite fat over the years, haven't you Jack?"

"Okay, you just spoiled it", Jack stated flatly, obviously pissed, as he parted away from their hug. "Hmph! You're one to talk , you have some nasty wrinkles yourself!"

Ren laughed, "Though it's been years since we last met, you're still the same college boy I knew way back then, Jack! Honest and easy to annoy."

Jackie chuckled,"You haven't changed much as well Ren. You're still quite sharp tongued as ever. What are you doing standing here? Come inside and have a seat on the comfy sofa", he said as he ushered him into the living room. "So... why the sudden visit?"

"Do I have to have a reason for paying a visit to my dear old friend?", Ren questioned him back while raising his eyebrows.

"Well, I guess you don't", Jackie laughed.

After two hours later

"Haha, did you see the look on Coach Ane's face that day. It was hilarious!", Ren roared with laughter as tears came out from his eyes. Jackie just hummed in response and got lost in his thoughts again.

Ren noticed this. "Jack you all right? You seem to be spacing out every now and then", he asked, concern being evident in his voice.

" Hmmm, it's just that", he sighed while rubbing his forehead with his index finger and thumb, " I've been thinking about my daughter."

Ren was greatly puzzled by his statement. "Your daughter Sarah? Well, what's wrong with her? Didn't you say that her health condition became normal now?"

"Yes, it has and I'm really overjoyed about it. But... it's just that my precious Sarah, being never been out of the house before, she's really missed out on a lot of life experiences and I want her to experience those things now that she's well, like how's it like to have finally achieved something you desire, or the time when you got punished with your friends but actually enjoyed it, or how's it like to hang out with friends and miss them when they're not there. However, as you know, the world can be a cruel place too. She could be in all types of dangerous situations and not know how to deal with it and I can't always be by her side to protect her. Granted, I can just hire some bodyguards for her but it will create other problems too. She'll have trouble making friends and people might even try to befriend her to only take advantage of her rich background. I just want the best for her, Ren, but I don't know what to do. Besides, her health condition finally became better, what if it worsens? I really don't want to lose her...", he trailed off with a depressing tone as he buried his face in his hands. He really felt useless. I can't even make the right choice for my daughter.

Seeing him like this, Ren couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He patted his shoulder hoping to comfort him a little. If only I could help him. Just then, it was as if something clicked inside his head.

"Jack, I've got it!", he shouted startling the said man himself.

"What?"

" The solution to your problem", he grinned."It's quite simple."

Jack was astonished when he heard this but recovered quickly. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go on", he urged him,"Tell me the solution."

"As I said", Ren coughed, "My idea's really simple. Send Sarah to live with my family in Japan. Now before you say anything, hear me out. You know, that I have two sons right? Well, they happen to be of the same age as her. She can go to the same school with them and learn about ' things ' girls and boys do or talk about at their age. They might even protect her if she gets bullied and, not only them, but I have two other boys who, currently, are staying at my place. One's my brother's and the other one is my brother's sister-in-law's son. Both of them are quite well-mannered, they may also help her in times of need. And, being the over-protective father you are, you might be thinking that the boys might try to harass your daughter, though I and my wife aren't around the boys that much, there's Nanny Su who looks after the boys for us and will make sure Sarah does not feel out of place nor gets ' treated ' rudely by the boys which I'm sure won't happen. This way Sarah can be able to spend her youth days like a normal girl. So, how's it? Nice right?"

Jackie could only gape wide open until his jaw hit the floor and eyes bulging out of his head as if they were going to pop out of their places. He just couldn't wrap his head around Ren's idea. Send my precious darling to Japan away from me to live in a den full of wolves with raging testosterones ?!! Outrageous!!

" Ren, I think that this idea is absolutely preposterous!" he huffed angrily as he sat cross-legged on the sofa with his arms folded against his chest."As if I'd send my one and only Moonbeam into a house filled with wolves with raging teenage hormones whose minds are filled with evil intentions to hurt her."

"Wolves with raging teenage hormones? Minds filled with evil intentions to hurt her?" Ren thought quizzically. "How can they be filled with evil intentions to hurt her, they haven't even met here. This old man right here is one over-protective father, like on a whole another level. If this goes on, I'm afraid Sarah's gonna end up alone in the near future. Luckily, I have my ways. If not for Jack then for dear Sarah. Sheesh! She really needs to have a break away from this overly affectionate and protective father of hers. Like seriously man, you think my sons are wolves?"

He flexed his arms a bit before going on full lawyer mode. I'm gonna win this for sure.

"Fine then", he shrugged and leaned back, "Suit yourself. But I wonder what would happen if Sarah learns that you passed up an offer like this? Besides, I heard that she loves Japan and I bet that she's never been there due to her past health condition. However, she's already fine now, isn't she? Wouldn't it break her heart to pieces if she learns that her dear daddy which she loves and trusts very much gave up her golden opportunity to go to Japan?"

"How would it break her heart? I can take her there by myself now that she's fine", Jackie countered.

"True but when? Besides, being a business man myself, won't the next four months be the busiest for us? And even if you make time to take her to Japan amidst your busy schedule, you'll only have maybe like three days which isn't much. Well, forget about that. What about sending Sarah to school? You don't want her to miss out on experiences, so you'll send her to a school instead of homeschooling her right? I don't know how Sarah looks like now because it's been years since I last saw her but if she looks anything like her mother then wow, is she going to become super popular with the boys who will no doubt try any means to get her attention."

" I - I'll hire bodyguards."

"No doubt you can but like you said won't it create other problems for her. She'll have trouble making friends because people will be afraid of her and even if she does make friends, she'll have less privacy. Oh and ,not to forget, since she's never been outside and has absolutely no idea on how to interact with people her age she'll feel intimidated and may make a fool of herself which will make her the brunt of joke in the entire school which will result in people bullying her. Or maybe, she will hang out with bad company who will undoubtedly teach her all sorts of bad things which will result in her becoming a rebellious teenager and perhaps come to a point where she will run off to join some mafia gang." That should do the trick.

My daughter will get bullied and run off to join some mafia gang... It was as if the world came crashing down upon Jackie. The way he looked like right now was as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.

Meanwhile, Ren was trying hard to control his laughter as he saw the look on Jackie's face."This man will really believe anything. Look at him, he looks like some sort of dead, lifeless fish right now", he thought and looked at his watch,"Anytime now~"

"Ren, I think that she'll be better off in Japan", Jackie told him as he grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him furiously." I don't want my daughter to be a part of some mafia gang!!!"

"Alright, alright. Stop shaking me!", he said as he quickly got out of his grasp.

" Thank you Ren! Thank you!", Jackie cried as he hugged him." You're a lifesaver!"

"No, I just did what a friend would do for his friend in need", he smiled while patting his back. Idiotic man. He's really the same as ever. Still so easy to manipulate.

*****

"Sarah ,my beloved daughter, I'm back!!", Jackie called as he entered Sarah's room.

"Daddy!", Sarah cried joyfully when she saw him. She quickly ran towards him and hugged him lovingly. "I really missed you these past three months."

"Me too, dear, me too", he smiled warmly at her while gently patting her head." I have something to discuss with you Sarah."

She looked up at her father curiously and asked, "Well , what is it daddy?"

"You're going to Japan."

××××××××

Sorry for the late update. I'm just really lazy(￣ヘ￣;). Anyways, the boys will finally be appearing in the next chapter! Hehe, can't wait~ *giggles creepily*

It has been four days now since they discussed about her moving to Japan. Needless to say, Sarah was beyond shocked when she heard this. She was even more surprised to hear that she'll be moving to her new hosts' house in no more than a week's time. It was too much to absorb all at once. However, she willingly agreed since her dad really seemed to be excited about this and she didn't want to let him down.

Sarah was currently in her library room, trying to read a novel to help her ease her mind off of things like she always did when she was stressed. However, it was apparently not working for her today as her mind continuously drifted its way back to Japan no matter how much she tried to focus on her novel. She sighed wearily, got up from her seat and closed the book before gently putting it back into its shelf. She has been in this state for some time now. It wasn't that she didn't want to go to Japan, no, in fact it was quite the opposite. She had always been dying to go there and now that she was, it felt surreal and what's more is that she'll be staying there for three years with people whom she's never even met. This was something that unnerved her. Though she had no problem in speaking fluent Japanese, the trouble lied in her people skills. She had absolutely no idea on how to converse with other people. What if l said something rude or embarrassing which would leave a bad impression me? Would they feel like I'm imposing on them and their personal lives? Will they dislike me? These were the questions that constantly haunted her. To think that getting better would create more problems for her.

However... Sarah smiled. She would finally have a chance to get rid of this loneliness of hers. Sure,she had her dad and her elder brother but they were pretty busy themselves. Jackie had to go on countless business trips which ranged from a few days to maybe six months while her elder brother Jay, who used to spend lots of time with her, was studying abroad in world renowned university and the maids who worked in the mansion, well, other than Daphne and Butler Joe, she didn't talk that much with them. With her past health condition, she couldn't even go out of her room let alone the mansion. She would often get sick as a child which she hated a lot, for there would be no one to stay by her side when she needed it the most. There were even times where she cried herself to sleep quietly begging for someone to be there with her. Nevertheless, as expected, nobody came , all that surrounded her was the same dreary, suffocating atmosphere.

Although, she admitted that she didn't have the ideal childhood that most people would dream of and yeah, she was lonely as a child but if she were to be honest, it wasn't that bad now that she looked back. Though Jay and Jackie weren't there that much, they still showed their concern and love for her through phone calls or emails and gifts which made her really happy. During those times, she usually kept herself occupied with anime, novels, mangas, video games etc. and lucky for her, there was no one to stop her.

A loud knock at the door woke her up from her thoughts. " Young miss, master is calling you to come downstairs to the living room. He has people he'd like you to meet."

"Alright, I'll be there in a sec." People he'd like me to meet? Who could they be? She wondered as she left the library room.

* * * * * * * *

" Jackie, l simply can't wait to see your daughter!", thrilled a beautiful red haired woman. " My, my! She must be really lovely."

" Calm down, Mei, l know that you're excited to meet her but at this rate, you'll scare her away", Ren told his wife while sipping his tea. " Though, l can't help but feel a bit intrigued as well, Jack, tell me is she quite the stunner like Irene."

" Oh believe me, she is", he replied rather proudly.

" Daddy?"

" Speak of the devil or in this case angel~", Mei enthused, turning to look at the owner of the sweet voice.

Ren and Mei were utterly mesmerized when they saw her. " She is absolutely stunning", they marvelled.

Jackie chuckled at their reactions and gestured Sarah to come closer.

" Ren, Mei, I'd like you to meet my beloved daughter Sarah", he introduced her to them, "And Sarah I'd like to meet Ren and Mei Nakamura, they will be your hosts."

Realization crossed her face as she looked at them. So, they are the ones. "Hello, its so nice to meet you", she bowed her head, " and thank you for your kindness for allowing me to stay at your place."

Before she knew it, her vision was obscured by stands of red hair. She was being hugged rather tightly, might she add, by her soon-to-be- host. " Oh my goodness!!", the excited woman squealed, " So adorable!!!"

" U-um , I can't b-breathe... "

" Oh sorry!", Mei apologized and quickly released her from her bone- crushing hug. " You were just so cute that l had to hug you and l just get so excited at times."

" Aren't you always~", Ren teased his wife which earned him a menacing glare from her but as always he ignored it. " Anyways, Sarah, I'm fully impressed. You've learnt the proper Japanese etiquette, you're quite polite too and to top it off, you're an undeniable beauty like your mother. Thank goodness! You didn't get the looks from your father." He winked at her, making her giggle in return.

" Just what do you mean by that?! Am l not handsome?!!", Jackie bellowed.

" Ha! Handsome! My foot! No really, my foot looks better than your face."

While the two men continued bickering on, Mei pulled Sarah aside to sit besides her on the leather couch.

"Forget about them, dear. They are hopeless", the older woman scoffed," But it does give us time to ourselves so l guess that something good came out of it afterall. Don't you agree?"

" Yep", she grinned. She was feeling much more relaxed now than when she entered the room.

" You know, Sarah dear, I work as a fashion designer and have designed clothes for famous models from all around the world. I have almost gotten used to the sight of beauties due to my job but today you really left me speechless. Honestly, I have never seen anyone as mesmerizing as you."

Sarah blushed furiously and stared down at her hands that were fisted upon her lap. " Th-that's not t-true , I-I think tha-at yo-you're more at-attractive than me-e",she stammered.

How modest. Mei smiled. Ren's found a lovely daughter-in-law for us."Oh please call me Mei or Aunt Mei and if you don't mind Sarah, I'd like to take you out for shopping. Now that your health's all better now, I figured that you might like to get out and get some fresh air if you know what l mean."

" You wouldn't mind?"

" Of course not, even though its only been a few minutes since we met each other, l already adore you. Do say yes dear, we'll have lots of fun chatting and browsing through clothes. I'll tell you everything you need to know about the boys, high-school life, your new home and things like that. So what do you say?"

Sarah was really ecstatic when she heard this. "Yes!", she beamed happily.

After three days later...

As soon as Sarah stepped out of the flight, her eyes roamed around the place and took note of her surroundings . So this is Japan.

" Hey, Uncle Joe, do you think that someone will be waiting here for me?", she anxiously asked the aged man standing beside her.

" Of course, kiddo", he answered smiling. "Say let's look for Nanny Su, shall we?" Sarah nodded her head and bit her lip, she was feeling a bit nervous and excited at the same time.

They made their way to the escalator after picking up her luggage. Sarah couldn't help but feel self-conscious though. She could literally feel the people's gazes on her as if they were trying to burn a hole through her.

"Mama! Mama! That big sis there is super pretty!"

" Is she a supermodel or something?"

" Woah! Check out that girl! I want her to be my girlfriend!"

" Perv! Look at your face! As if she'd be your girlfriend!"

Little did she know that they were admiring her exotic beauty. However, the poor girl was too nice to even think about it. " Why are they staring at me? Is there something on my face or is there something wrong with my dress ?" She looked down at the dress she was wearing.

Maybe, she was just overthinking about things. Besides Aunt Mei said that it looked nice. She shook her head. "Now is not the time to stress over these things. l must keep searching for Nanny Su", she reminded herself. "She should be here somewhere." Sarah tried to recall the photo of Nanny Su that Aunt Mei had showed her. As if on cue, she spotted her, a kind looking old woman holding a paper cardboard with the words 'Sarah' written over it.

"Uncle Joe, she's there!", she exclaimed as she rushed over to the old woman.

" Nanny Su! Nanny Su!", she yelled.

The elderly woman jerked her head to the direction where her name was being called out. "My, my! Madam's future daughter-in-law is truly exceptionally beautiful!", she gasped.

Sarah came closer to her before bowing, " Hello, my name's Sarah Fernandez. I hope that you'll take care of me in the future."

Nanny Su smiled brightly, she was just as sweet and polite as her madam had told her. " Oh, of course dear, and you may call me Granny or Nanny Su. Well, what are you waiting for? Come and follow me dear, you must be tired from your journey."

"Not at all Granny Su",she said," I actually slept on the plane so I'm not that tired as l should be."

Granny Su laughed, "Okay then dear. My, you really are a delight."Sarah flushed in response and quietly followed her.

"Oh how cute!" , Su laughed again.

After bidding her good-byes to Joe, she went with Granny Su to the place where she was gonna be staying, The Gardenia Abode.

Meanwhile in The Gardenia Abode...

A certain black haired boy yawned as though he was sleepy, " Remind me again why we need to stay here to welcome the new person? I'm sleepy~" he whined," This was suppose to be my nappy time you know."

" It can't be helped Ryo, your mother told us too and you know the consequences if you don't do as she says", a blue haired boy with green eyes told him.

" Hey! Why'd you gotta scare me with those words? Mike meanie!", he pouted but he didn't really want to face those consequences. He felt a shiver down his spine "Moms are really scary..."

Ryo

Mike

" Can't you just quieten down, you're disturbing me. With the kind of noise you're creating, its making it difficult to read my novel peacefully", stated a bespectacled boy with light brown hair and blue eyes.

"Eh?!! You too, Kouta!"

Kouta

" Will you just shut the hell up!"

" Huh? Shou? l thought that you weren't gonna show up. Could it be that you got scared by mom's threat to have your pocket money deducted if you don't show up. Man, you really are a money loving weirdo", Ryo teased the red haired boy who was currently making down the stairs.

. Shou

Shou gawked," Hey! What gives you the right to call me a money loving weirdo!"

" By being your brother", Kouta bluntly told him.

" Who the hell asked you, four eyes?!" , Shou barked.

" Seriously, these guys. To think that you could ever have a peaceful time here without all the squawking and squabbling", Mike mentally sighed," Why did Aunt Mei have to gather us together here just to meet this person of hers. Sure, we are gonna be living together but we could just introduce ourselves afterwards or maybe when we'll bump into each other." He sighed again. Though he had to admit that he was a bit interested in this so called person of hers to make them gather like this.

* * * * * * * *

Sarah stepped out of the car and took in the sight . The house was quite big and looked lively. Just beside it was a garden that looked more marvelous than the ones she had back at her home. So this is where l'm gonna be staying.

" Sarah dear", Su called her.

" Yes."

" Welcome to The Gardenia Abode", Su smiled.
