Extreme Babysitter (for Jaden Yucky)
 

Clair was a babysitter unlike most others. She specialized in teenagers and young adults, but not just ANYONE. Her particular aim was the brattiest of the bratty, those where nothing else seemed to work. Her methods were said to be quite extreme, but often these were the only ways to get through to her charge.

Today, she had been asked to look after a brand new charge. She pulled her specially designed van up to the house, and looked at the piece of paper where the information was written.

"This must be it," she said.

A young girl was tending the flowers outside. She had long hair to her mid-back and wore a sundress. She blinked and noticed Clair pull up, tilting her head curiously. "Who's that..?" She asked, mostly to herself, not knowing about why she was there.

(I assume this is the twin sister you were talking about?)

Clair was heading down the path to the front door when she saw the girl tending the flowers.

"Oh, good morning," she said, politely, trying to hold gentle conversation.

(yeah :p)

She looked up, blinking a few times. "G-Good morning.." She said shyly, standing after a moment.

The babysitter looked at the girl standing. She seemed a little shy, and she was certain this wasn't the person she'd been asked to look after. Maybe she'd made a mistake and gone to the wrong house....

"My name is Clair. I'm a professional babysitter," she said, showing the girl the piece of paper with the address on it, "Forgive me for asking, but is this the right house?"

She read the paper carefully, then nodded at her question. "My name is Rumi. And the one you're looking for is upstairs.." She replied, heading to the door to open it for Clair.

"Oh, Rumi," said Clair, "Ah, that makes sense. I was told of your names and that there were two of you. My apologies."

She headed inside, thanking Rumi for her politeness.

"So you say your sister is upstairs," she said, "Is anyone else around?"

"Mom ran to the store. No Dad..So it's just us for another few minutes.." Rumi said softly. "You thirsty or anything?" She added after a moment.

"Oh, OK. Yes, a drink of water would be nice," said Clair, "However, first things first, I'd like to see your sister and introduce myself to her."

She made sure to smile gently. She could tell Rumi was still a little shy, and despite her background, she didn't want to come across as mean.

Rumi nodded and went to the stairs. "Kaede!" She called, and a moment later, another girl came down that looked alot like Rumi, except with short hair that didn't even reach her shoulders. Once Kaede had come down, Rumi gave Clair a bottle of water.

Kaede looked at Clair, raising an eyebrow. "Who's this chick..?" She asked with a sigh.
