Teti= here's the third chapter of Never Give Up, even though I got only 2 review for the second one…oh well ::shrugs::

NEVER GIVE UP

Meeting You

"The Egyptian Empire was the first of the Mediterranean Civilities to develop; his name had been giving by the Greeks, while firstly it was called Black Land…"

Black Land my ass…who the hell cares about what happened 3000 years ago?!

Those were the thoughts which crossed Taichi Yagami's mind, while he was listening, or rather, trying to listen his tutor. His scholastic capacities were gone, he couldn't assimilate anything the teacher was saying; it was like his mind was completely blank.

"Mr Yagami, I'd rather get some attentions from you this afternoon; it looked like you weren't here since I entered this room. I think that if you don't work harder I'll have to talk with your father" the teacher warned him.

Oh, that's perfect, so he'll kick you out to get a better tutor and I won't see your ugly face ever again!

Taichi thought, and he was right; his father never punished him, never had. If he was a bad pupil it wasn't his fault; the teachers had no abilities. This happened just because they were rich, no, the richest family in Odaiba. The Yagamis had a big castle in the middle of the city, all surrounded by beautiful green trees, who stood in the huge park majestically; they looked like the guardians of the castle.

Their "house" was wonderful, with many paintings of famous European artists who cloud leave you breathless. There were more than fifty rooms, and each component of the family had at least four rooms on their own.

Mamoru Yagami was also known for his great kindness; he helped every people in need with economic and sanitary support, and offered jobs for those who were looking for it. It was a positive thing for both the parties: people had a job and he had more servants and farmer for his own.

Taichi, the eldest son, looked out of the window. What a boring day, he thought blankly. Finally the History class was over and he could go back to his favourite room, the one which stood above the hall of the castle and the park.

He sat in his chair and looked down without paying attention. Then something, no, someone, caught his interest.

A girl, about his age, not very tall, but very thin. She was almost skinny. But damn, she's so beautiful…

He had to know her, he needed to know her. Then he noticed she was walking nervously to the front door and entered in the hall.

Taichi ran downstairs to see this wonderful creature, who had stolen his heart at the very first sight.

He went in the hall, but of the mysterious girl there were no traces. He looked everywhere, but he couldn't find her.

Sadly he went back to his bedroom, his heart aching with sorrow and need. He wanted to know this girl. And he wanted to know her now.

A few hours later he was called by his father. A servant told him that Mamoru had asked for him to come in his studio.

The boy looked puzzled at the man, but followed him without questions. His father never sent someone to call him, only in very important matters. And still he didn't have enough trust in him about serious subjects.

He arrived at his father's studio and the man announced him. Taichi entered the room but didn't look straight in his father's eyes. He wasn't allowed to until the gave him his permission.

- You called me Father? - he asked, still looking to the floor

- Yes, son, and for an important matter which concern you personally. Now you can look at me - his father told him

Taichi looked up, and lost the use of the word. The girl was standing there, next to the desk, looking down in respect. She was really thin, it hadn't been only an impression. It was like she hadn't eaten for days. He couldn't see her face because of the golden hair that covered her eyes. Beautiful hair, shoulder-length and straight, but still with some locks a bit curly. Maybe it had been because of the wind. Taichi was sure that her hair would have twinkled at the sunlight. It was as golden as he never saw.

What is she doing here?! And why Father called me?!

The sixteen year old boy's thoughts were interrupted by his father.

- Son, this is Yamako Ishida, a girl who comes from the country; you know about the recent famine that had devastated our fields, right? Well, her family had been hit very bad by it, she lost her father and her mother is in a critical condition. She left her with her younger brother and came to the city to find a job. She found our announce for your personal maid and decided to come for it. I told her I would have helped her family even if she didn't work for us, she said she couldn't accept. So now I've hired her for an indeterminate time. She'll be at your dependences, and if I hear only one single word of discontent about you, you'll be severely punish. Have you understood?-

While his father was talking, Taichi noticed that Yamako never looked up. He was feeling humiliation, because his father thought that he still needed a maid to take care of him, but at the same time he felt very, incredibly happy. The blonde girl would have stayed by his side for a very long time. Hopefully forever. Forever was such a big word, but, hey, someone can dream, right?

- As you wish, Father. I'll treat her as good as I can - he answered him, then added quickly - Where will she stay, I mean, if she has to be my personal maid, she has to be with me anytime, won't she?- he asked hopefully.

- Yes, I thought about it too and discussed with her. She'll live in one room near to yours, and she'll have one day free at week; while she will be working here, I'll take care of her mother and her brother with money, food and medicines. Now, Yamako, you can look at Taichi- Mr Yagami ordered the girl.

Chocolate eyes met ocean blue. Taichi was caught breathless. She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, with so many shades of blue; they were so charming that he felt his knees go weak, but couldn't look away. It was like he was under some sort of spell. Then the girl broke the contact and looked away; Taichi was a bit deluded but respected the will of the blonde.

- Yoshimoto - Mr Yagami called his major-domo - walk Miss Ishida to her new room and ask Miss Inoue to help her for her duties, tell her to explain Miss Ishida what we ask her to do-

- As you wish, Master - the major-domo answered him and walked the still silent girl to the door.

She never looked back, but Taichi glared at her until she wasn't anymore in sight.

His personal maid. His.

Mine…

End of Chapter Three

Teti= well, I really hope it was worth the trouble, I'm very busy nowadays with loads of my own stuff, so please, read and review!

Oh, and I know, Tai seemed rather possessive of Yama, but how can we blame him? Anyway, he is NOT evil in this. It's only that today I drank too much coffee, so ^__~

Please don't flame me because I made Yama a girl, I have good reasons for it, which we will all be explained in the next chapter, if I get at least 5 more reviews.

I know, I have to write the next chapter of "Ghosts from the Past", but I'm waiting for the stuff my friend is procuring me. I only asked her to tell me a name! And she's bringing me LOADS of papyruses. Good grief…

My God, I was almost forgetting to thank everybody who reviewed "To Love, To Sin"! I got not even one flame! Thank you all!
