"MIKAN!" Hotaru barged in while catching her breathes. It was awfully silent. She goes towards Mikan's bedroom to find no one there.
"Hotaru-sama?" A voice startled her. She looked behind her to find an old lady , looking at her. She was wearing a maid outfit. Hotaru never remembered seeing an old maid here. Mikan's family usually hired maids who were young. They said the young ones are more energetic and can do anything.
"Who are you?" She asked with curiosity laced in her voice. She was suspicious of this old lady. And more importantly , where is everyone? "I'm a maid here. An old one" The old lady smiled.
"Where is everyone?"
"Mikan-sama is not home from school. Master and Madam are currently at a neighboring kingdom. Rei-sama and Nobara-sama are currently out while Tsubasa-sama and Youichi-sama are practicing together." The old lady said. Hotaru noticed something weird. Uncle and Auntie never go out together. Usually one stays so that someone can watch the palace. She thought.
"Can you show me where Tsubasa-nii and Youichi are?"
"I'm afraid I can't. Tsubasa-sama said no one must enter"
Her suspicions grow more and more towards this lady after she said it. She was most definitely not a maid here. She needs to find more about this old lady. She could be a spy or assassin.
"They will let me through. Please lead the way Ma'am" She said with her cold tone. She must see Tsubasa. That is , if he is even there. The old lady nodded and walked away. Hotaru follows here with her guards up. She secretly presses something behind her. A button.
' I hope Mikan gets this signal '
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
"Hm? What is this beeping?" Mikan noticed the sound coming from her watch. It was glowing red for some reason. It rarely goes like this, unless..
"HOTARU!" Mikan suddenly yelled, making Natsume jumped a little. He turned around towards her, having a questioning look in his face.
"Look at this!" She showed her glowing watch to him, it was glowing red. "Hotaru made this for me, so if I were to be in danger or she is, we can alert each other by turning this on and sending a signal to each other" She explained.
Mikan pressed the screen of her watch and a map appeared with a red dot, signaling where Hotaru is at. "She is at.. My house? Why is she in danger?" Mikan asked to herself silently. Why would she send it though? She wasn't the type to do pranks..
But she remembered the her parents were currently at the neighbouring kingdom and won't be back until the next day. Tsubasa-nii and You-chan though should be home right now.
"Natsume follow me!" She said while running towards the gates of her school while calling her driver. She needs to hurry or else Hotaru could really get in danger! Natsume follows after her.
Ruka who was watching the two followed them as well, curious about what was happening with Hotaru. He was.. A bit worried about her.
"Tsubasa-nii, Youichi, Let me come in" Hotaru said while knocking the door to their training room. The old maid stood behind her. Although Hotaru was facing the door, her eyes were peeking behind her, seeing if the maid would do anything suspicious.
"Come in Hotaru!" The door slightly opened, signaling her to come in. She rushed in and closed the door behind her, finally lets go of the tension she has been feeling.
"Tsubasa-nii!" She said, calling the older man. The black haired man was currently fighting against Youichi, who was wet from all the sweats.
"Yes Hotaru?"
"Did your parents hire some old lady to be a maid here?"
"No. Why would they? You know they only hire young peoples" He said while looking at her weirdly. Hotaru stood there in silence. Eyes widening.
"Then why was I was greeted by an old lady in front of the kingdom?" Tsubasa stopped with what he was doing and looked at Hotaru. Now understanding what she meant.
"... There's.. An intruder?"
Mikan finally steps down from the black limo and ran towards the living room, not seeing anyone inside. She hasn't even passed a single maid!
Natsume followed behind her shortly after. Cautious of his surroundings. It was awfully silence. No one was there. Not even a single person. Mikan ran towards her bedroom to be greeted by nothing.
She goes to the kitchen, to find an old lady, cleaning the floor. The brunette frozed and stared at the old lady, she understood what Hotaru meant by danger. From the aura the old lady was emiting, she knew she was a witch.
The same witch who cursed her family.
