"Please follow me." Cid opened the door for you.
"Thanks." And with your purse in your hand, you exited. Cid took you to your source of transportaion which was a black elegant car. As soon as you arrived, he opened the door for you. He then proceeded to get on to the driver's seat and turned the engine on.
"Cid?" you asked wanting to ask a few questions.
He responded not taking his eyes off the road." Yes?"
"Can you tell me how my family is?" that was killing you, not that they were your family but since you were someone else, they were "your" family.
You heard a sigh from him." I-" he began but knowing that they were also his boss, he was probably not going to tell you the truth.
"Cid, I know that you work for them but don't forget that I also own that mansion and so, I am your boss too. Now, please tell me the truth."
"Alright, I suppose I can do that. I am just afraid that your staying there won't be so...welcoming."His tone sounded a bit sad.
Turning your head to the side, you watched how a few cars would go by."I know and can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Do you really have to talk like that? It makes you sound old and boring."
Cid only laughed. "So you're suggesting that I am not old?"
"You look just a few years older than and by the way you talk doesn't really...it just makes you look like an old man."
Again he chuckled."It is a requirement."
A smile made it's way on your face. "Don't use it with me, I like to know people for who they really are."
He nodded sighed. "Damn, then that is a relief. It is such a pain in the ass to have to talk like that." And then he laughed." I am sure that your grandmother will have a handful with you."
"You can't imagine." You too laughed. Soon after that, you both talked with ease and it felt nice.
"So we arrived, good luck [f/n], you'll need it." He had opened the door for you and was wishing you the best.
"Thanks, I am sure I will need just that." You told him looking at the mansion that was now yours.
Finaly your home, or you could say hell. You opened the door not bothering to knock, it was your home now so there was no need to do so. When you entered, you were greeted by a young woman with short back hair in a maid's uniform. "Oh, what are you doing here!" she yelled when she saw you inside.
"I'm [f/n]. I am sure you heard of me." You looked around your new home, it was huge.
"Oh! Forgive me, I did, we were mentioned of your arrival. Please allow me to get your things to your room." She took your things from you and hurried her way towards the stairs.
You followed her."What's your name?"
She stopped for a second and glanced back at you."It's Xion, Miss."
"Xion, well it's nice to meet you and please call me [/F/n]." You offered a smile.
She nodded with a smile of her own." Ok, Mi-[F/n]."
The both of you passed a few doors and then she stopped in front of one."This will be your room." She opened it and waited for you to enter."Well, this is it. If you need anything just call me."
"Wait, where's everybody?" it was a mystery why no one had come to see you, to at least ofend you which you were completely sure it would happen.
Her smile disappeared. "Uh...they left. They knew they were coming and um, they sort of..." she scratched her neck.
You shook your head. "It's fine, I know I was not wanted here."
She nodded and she left, leaving you to think.
A few hours or so later, you went down stairs and looked for the kitchen. Xion was cooking something when you entered. "Xion?" you asked.
She turned around and then cleaned her hand on her apron." Yes?" She smiled.
"Do you happen to know where Cid is?" you asked and is on cue, he entered.
"Hey [F/n]." He greeted smirking. "Seems you were looking for me, weren't ya?"
"Yeah, I was hoping that maybe you could take me to the mall. I need to be new attire."
He nodded. "Sure, I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Oh, I almost forgot. This is for you, the lawyer of the family asked me to give you this." She handed you a card.
Once you grabbed it, you noticed your name on it; a credit card." Thanks." Placing it on your purse, you smiled at her. "I must get going." And you turned around and went outside.
Sure enough, Cid was waiting for you. He even held the door open for you." Thanks." You told him on your way.
To say the least. Cid was a huge help. He accompanied you and carried your things, and such. He then drove back home and when you arrived, it was night already.
"So you decided to come?" asked an old lady, she wore glasses and dressed all in black.
You were just glad that you had taken the time to go to a salon and dressed in a nice [color] dress, which fitted you nicely. No, Cid didn't wait for you, you told him to take care of what he needed to be done. He protested but you told him that you were going to be stuck in the beauty salon for while, he then nodded and took off.
You rolled your eyes," So? I am sure you were hoping that I wasn't coming back. Weren't you?" You asked smiling at the lady. Saymore emerged and stood by her side along with a girl about your age at his side, on his other side, there was another person, this one was a man with blue hair. He held a book in his hand which was currently shut.
"Where were you?" the woman asked again. The others eyed you, the girl looked you up and down.
"I was shopping. You know, I needed things. Cid, please come on in!" you yelled. Now you were grinning, even more when not only did Cid enter but Xion and another maid entered with they arms full of bags full of thins you bought.
The girl's eyes widened and glanced at the man. "Dad! Look!" she pointed at the trio.
Oh who you enjoyed the moment. "Aerith, silence." The man hushed her.
"Spending money already?" your grandmother's cold voice asked.
"Elizabeth, that is none of your concern. Don't forget that this house belongs to me and let's not talk about my share o-"
"Shut up and don't call me by my name, treat me with respect." Your grandmother didn't seem to be happy that you had called her by her name."Seymore, take me to my room!" she commanded and the one so called Seymore nodded glancing at you.
You looked at your grandmother who was going upstairs. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I shouldn't be making them waiting." You pointed to Cid and Xion and the other maid.
Aerith growled while you walked calmly. Soon you were at your room and Xion and the other maid placed your things away. You laughed when you saw Cid grinning. "I was correct."
Xion glanced at you and then back at what she was doing. "About what?"
"About you causing trouble and all that." He was enjoying it as much as you were.
"Well, what I say?"You both laughed until there was a knock on the door. Cid opened the door and then glanced back at you.
"I must get going." He told you, you nodded.
"Thank you, Cid." With a smile, he left while the guy who was also about the same age as you entered.
"[F/n], I am sorry that I did not get the opportunity to introduce myself."He entered and he held a smile."I am Zexion."
Zexion huh. "Are you my cousin?" if he lived here that meant that he was something to do with you.
He shook his head." No, I am not."
"You don't live here then?"
Another shake of his head."I do, I am not Seymore's son if that if what you're getting at. When he met my mother she was pregnant with me."
That caught you off guard, they had almost the same hair color."But your ha-" you began.
He sighed and glanced at the maids who were now done placing your things in order." I know, but I am simply not his son so we are not related."
"Well, no matter if you are not part my loving family,it is a pleasure meeting you."
He nodded." Thank you and I am sorry that my sister and well, the rest are a bit..."
"No need to apologize, I knew from the moment I came that I wasn't welcomed but I am glad that at least a few people are nice enough."
"Well, I must go but if you need anything, my room is the first one on the left." And with that, he smiled again and exited.
"[F/n]? It there anything else you need my help with?"Xion asked stanind now in-front of you.
You shook your head." Not really, but thank you." She nodded and exited.
Now that you were alone, you went straight to the bed and rested for a while. Not latter, Xion knocked on the door telling you that dinner was ready, you told her that you weren't hungry and decided to go to sleep.
The next morning you had breakfast and as you thought, you were left alone. Aerith did come telling you how her boyfriend was here last night and you hadn't even bothered. With a mere shrug, you ignored her.
"Not really." While you were still eating your breakfast, you heard a voice of a young man.
"Are you sure?" that's when you recognized Zexion's voice.
They walked in, the one who was talking with Zexion stopped when he was about to talk and stared at you."[F/n], here so early?" asked Zexion with a smile.
Swallowing what you had in your mouth you nodded."Yeah, I am an early person. Who's your friend?"
Zexion took a seat on your right while the other guy sat on Zexion's other side. "Oh, sorry. Roxas, this is [F/n]." He then turned to face you. [F/n], this is Roxas."
Roxas offered you a shy smile. "Nice to meet you."
"I can say the same." You offered one of your smiles making Roxas blush, Zexon only shook his head smiling too.
"Well, I have to get going so if you'll excuse me." And you stood up smiling at them and went to your room to do a few things.
~Somewhere~
"So, did you meet the famous [F/n]? asked a red headed man in a ponytail.
The other red headed man who was eating paused to look at the other."Not really. I was actually hoping that I would see her but I didn't, she was too tired or something like that."
The other nodded and took a gulp of his drink."Do you think she's hot yo?"
"I don't know, when I saw her at the hospital she was too beat up and I didn't really get a good look at her. Why are you asking, Reno."
Reno smirked. "Maybe I can seduce her." When the other was about to say something he interrupted him."Axel? Did you forget that you are taken?"
Axel rolled his eyes."Yeah yeah, but if she is hot...I won't hesitate to approach her, got it memorized?"
"Whatever."Reno sighed.
