บท 5: Massive Clean up
"You stink."
Those were the first words that came out of Annie's mouth after we reached her house. Why were we in her house? It was getting dark outside that's why.
Her house wasn't that big nor was it small. It was a one story building consisting of a kitchen, a garage(there is no car inside it as I used my eyes to see through the garage door), two bathrooms and two single rooms, a living room and a beautiful garden to boot. All in all, she lives in a really nice house.
No, wait. That's not right.
I guess it's OUR house now, considering I am going to be adopted in her family and live with her here!
Why do I feel like I am getting used to this family thing a little too fast?
Meh..
I guess I will think about it later. First, I need to deal with the fact that Annie just said that I stink.
How can she say something so rude to a cute little kid like me? It is rude to say something like this to a person you have just met for half a day you know.
"That's rude." I replied a bit defensively after hearing her words.
When you have a nose like me, through which you can smell almost every kind of smell near you no matter if it's good or bad, then one's bodily odour hardly matters.
And saying that I stink when she herself doesn't smell like lavender flowers seems kind of rude to me....
I don't have any perfume to use on myself or even if I did, I don't think I would risk using it on me.
I have a sensitive nose after all.
As I was lamenting about the disadvantages of having a super sense of smell inside my head, a voice feigning shock and lacing with sarcasm (which of course belonged to Annie) started speaking again
"Whoa there kiddo. Why are you getting so defensive all of a sudden? I was just telling the truth." she said while raising her eyebrow at me while trying to hide a smirk which was beginning to take surface on her face.
Annoying.
I don't know why but hearing her say that I stink kind of annoys me a little...
Maybe it's a 'perk' of having her as a sister I guess?
Meh..
"I-...guess you are right. I do smell a little..." I agreed after thinking for a while because what she just said, is indeed the truth.
I actually do smell a little...too badly in comparison to an average person.
But that's something I won't admit. Me being not able to lie doesn't mean that I can't hide the truth.
"A little? Kiddo, I don't think you heard me before or maybe you did but failed to understand me properly. It's not that you smell bad is the problem here, it's actually worse because...You stink. Like really badly stink." She said while holding her nose with both of her fingers as if to emphasize just how much I 'stink'.
That's rude!
How can she say something so mean to me like that with a straight face?! It feels as if she is doing this on purpose to annoy me!
Annie:- heh! *smirks*
AND SHE IS ENJOYING IT!
HOW DARE–!
Calm down me. Take a deep breath....
Why am I getting so annoyed totay? (Shit, I bit my tongue in my thoughts)
I have never felt like this before! I have never gotten so annoyed in my life, to be honest, the only time I got annoyed was when I kicked Mr. Sebastian's truck a few months ago. But the weird thing is, this time it's not necessarily as bad of a feeling as it was when I kicked his truck, because I remember I was actually a little bit angry at him. Right now though... it is different.
It is kind of a...pleasant and refreshing feeling which is completely different from back then.
Despite all of this....it's still annoying.
*Look at her smug face and start to get annoyed again*
I don't know why, but it feels like I lost, and it feels like she won.
I don't know what we are competing against each other for, but mark my words 'big sis'...
I will get you back for this for sure next time!

[Annie's POV]
It's really fun to tease this kid.
I didn't think he had it in him to actually sound offended by my words as he seemed like someone who will even take a hit for his enemy if given the chance to be friends with him(which I hope is not true)
I guess he is not a pushover huh..
That's good I guess.
"Okay I admit... I stink!
But, how do you suggest I change that?" He finally admitted the truth with an annoyed expression on his face and asked hopefully while averting his eyes.
And guess what?
He is pouting.
Look at that cute little pout on his face when looking annoyed and hopeful at the same time!
He is really sensitive about the topic concerning his smell huh?
Guess I found your weakness kiddo....
And I am gonna exploit it to tease you more.
*smiles wickedly*
"How cute/Okawaikoto~"
Pouting kid:- *shivers*
"W-what's with you smiling like that all of a sudden!? A-anyways, can you tell me how I can get rid of this smell? Please?" he whispered the last part in a hopeful tone of voice.
Why is he asking me about that? Isn't it obvious?
Don't tell me he doesn't know what a bath is?
*Flashback of her asking him for his name*
Nevermind. I wouldn't even be that surprised if he didn't.
I sighed.
I guess it's best if I confirm it myself then....
"Don't you know what a bath is?"
Now you are gonna say n-
"Of course I do."
Y-yeah. That's what I was about to say too!
Dammit kid. You ruined my JoJo moment!
"B-but I don't know how to take one."
That's....normal I guess?
Some kids his age don't know how to take a bath by themselves either.
That's the first normal thing I heard from this kid. I think I am just expecting every kind of weird thing when it comes to his common sense.
Not knowing how to take a bath at his age is pretty normal I guess.
"I never got the chance to take one in my entire life either Q_Q"
Yes as I expected, norm-
Huh?
THAT'S NOT NORMAL AT ALL!
And completely gross for that matter!
I don't care about talking (more like monologuing) anymore.
"Kid.....Get Inside the bathroom. Right. NOW!"
Without further ado, the kid went inside(more like ran inside) the bathroom (even though I never showed him where it was) without any questions trying not to anger me anymore....
Sigh~
Guess he misunderstood the cause of my anger again....*face palm*
I was not angry at him, I don't think I can even get angry at him...
I was once again....worried about him.
I will need to teach that kid some common sense!
But first I needed to bathe him because he was in dire need of...
A Massive cleanup!

Hello Dear Readers!
Author here.
This story is going to be pacing slowly for the first few chapters because I want to develop my OC(Annie) and my MC as characters. I don't want them to just be there to BE there. I want you guys to better understand them so that what I am going to do in the future will have a better impact on you guys...
MC was acting a little strange in this chapter compared to his usual self and there is a reason behind it (I am sure you guys didn't even notice right?). He gets affected by other people's nature and personality if he considers them to be important to him, these powers from his mother's side will be explained in detail as the story progresses so don't worry. This means that Annie's personality, as the story progresses, is going to have a big impact on MC's personality in some scenarios but rest assured, he will still be his own self... even though you guys don't know his own self yet.
I will name him in the next chapter(this is a lie)
