Chapter 18
"Okay we are going to my room now" Sakiko announced.
"Do you need help packing young miss?"
"No thanks, mum has already helped me with that. I just need to get my books and few other things then Sasuke and I would be on our way."
"Your room?"
"Yes, my room."
"You are kidding right, I'm not... "
"Going huh" she finished his sentence. "Okay if you aren't, then I wouldn't go with you" she turned towards the living room.
"Wait" he called out.
"What?"
He just kept quiet not being able to look her in the eyes, he averted his gaze.
"Are you afraid of something?" He didn't answer her but just blushed.
"You think something might happen Sasuke!"
"Kinda. Umm yes I think so" he said still having a slight blush on his cheeks as he tried his best to compose himself.
The maids giggled but when they saw Sakiko's glare, did they realize they may had laughed loud.
They mouthed "I'm sorry" to Sakiko. She just face palmed herself as she turned her gaze back to the slightly flushed boy.
"But we are not too into each other. I promise not to do anything stupid, okay?" She asked him.
"All right, sorry about that, never been to a girl's room
"Your mum ain't a girl technically. Anyway let's go" they left the maids and went upstairs.

When they arrived at her room, it was huge and Sasuke was wowed.
"Wow, your room is so big, like a paradise" she laughed at his comparism.
"It really isn't that grand as you make it you know" she went ahead to her reading desk.
"Please make yourself at comfortable" she turned to pack her books.
He kept on looking around. Her room was big, it was like a two in one room. What separated the two was a gla.s.s sliding door in the center of the room which was partly opened.
"Why are there two beds and like an adjourning room? I mean its just you" he asked.
"It was made for my twin brother and I; but he is late now so... Just me."
"Oh I'm sorry about that. You've got me" he gave her a rea.s.suring smile.
She just looked at him with a complex expression and he wasn't sure if he had said something wrong.
"I do not mean to replace him but I am here for you" he quickly explained.
She laughed a little bit, "I know, thanks anyway."
"You're welcome" he sat down on her bed and watched her pack up.
When she was done, he helped her carry her box while she took her school bag and they left her room.
"Bye Rika and Riko" They bade the maids farewell and left the house.
"He is so handsome and cute when he blushes" Riko said to her twin.
"Riko, he is the Young Miss' friend, behave" she cautioned her twin.
"Oh come on Rika, don't be so up tight. You know is handsome" Roku said with dreamy eyes.
"And out of your league Riko" Rika snapped her fingers at her sister's dreamy face.
"I never said I wanted him. Kill joy" she replied with a pout.
"But you sure are acting it right now."
"I - I... "
"That's enough, get back to work" Rika interrupted her.
The door opened and in came, Mrs Is.h.i.+da and her family.
"Welcome Ma, Welcome Sir, Welcome young master, young miss" the twins greeted in unison.
"Thank you" they echoed.
"Rika please come" her father ordered.
"Yes Sir?"
"Where is my daughter?"
"The young miss just left with her friend some minutes ago."
"Okay, but why didn't she wait?" Mrs Is.h.i.+da asked.
"I have no idea ma."
"Okay, thanks" Mrs Is.h.i.+da waved at Rika.
"Ma, Sir, your bags" she asked and they handed it over to her and she went away with the bags.
"Let me call her" he said to his wife.
