Ok, I know some of you want to wring my neck for taking this down (not to be conceited of my own work, because this is a really sucky chapter), but I'm bringing it back! So, please FORGIVE ME!

But, you MUST know that I love you all, because I had ALL the names changed and everything, but then I went back and had to change them ALL back to Inuyasha's characters! Yes, the idea I had for a real story evolved into something much less cliché and so much more different than this one, so I'm putting it back up, so PLEASE forgive me!

Inuyasha poured the laundry detergent into the washer, and loaded the Higurashis' "unmentionables" into it. He never pictured himself washing rich peoples' underpants at fifteen years old, to make sure he had a place to sleep and food on the table.

But with his parents dead, it was just about his only choice. He couldn't find any other jobs that got him food and a place to sleep… He was allowed to live and eat there, as long as he did a good job cooking for them, washing their clothes, cleaning their house, and doing some of the yard work.

The Higurashis could have gotten better "help" than him, but they took pity, since he had nowhere else to go.

"Inuyashaaaa!" he heard Ms. Higurashi scream. He ran downstairs to the main room.

"What is it?" he asked her and Mr. Higurashi, who were seated on the couch.

"We need you to make sure that the bedroom across from yours is good and clean. Our baby's coming home from boarding school to live with us again!" Ms. Higurashi cried, happily. Inuyasha nodded and headed back upstairs.

He'd heard lots about their daughter, Kagome. He had begun working there, right when she left again after spring break.

Flashback:

Inuyasha walked into the kitchen to start on dinner. He was surprised to see Mrs. Higurashi crying by the stove.

"Are…are you okay?" he asked her, gently.

"Yes, I'm f…fine" she muttered, while still crying "Oh, my baby left again! We offered to let Kagome stay home, for the third time, and she still doesn't want to come back!"

Inuyasha nodded, sympathetically. He couldn't think of anything comforting to say to a mother who's child rejected her, so he just patted her shoulder, acting like he understood.

"Umm… If you don't mind me asking, why did she leave off in the first place?" he asked.

"Our Kagome always wanted to go to a boarding school, and when we finally had enough money, we sent her off " her mother explained "And she was only going to be gone for a year, but she doesn't want to leave, and its not a money issue, because we're obviously fine in that area" she said quickly, Inuyasha would've rolled his eyes if she wasn't crying, and she resumed, "But she just doesn't want to come back home!"

"Well, it sounds like she doesn't have problems with you people, she just really loves it there. So it's not you" he said, trying to cheer her up.

"Thanks" she sniffled, and started walking out.

So, Inuyasha knew all about Kagome, and the distress she caused her parents. He was expecting some spoiled princess to come home.

He walked upstairs, and into the room across from his. He expected it to be a fairly easy job to clean up since she hadn't been there in a while. But it turned out that the princess left it pretty messy, from when she was there on spring break. It occurred to Inuyasha that maybe he was supposed to clean it up before, but nothing had ever been mentioned to him.

The sheets, and pillows, and covers (which were solids of pink and orange) were all tangled together and some were on the floor. Her desk was a mess of pencil shavings and crumpled up papers. Her carpet had some of the pencil shaving, dirt, and a little dirt all over it.

Inuyasha sighed. His room was cleaner than this pigsty! He took her sheets, pillow cases, and covers down to the laundry room first. Most of them were on the floor, so they had that dirt all over them.

He figured that cold water was best for the fragile material. And he got scared that he knew so much about this stuff. He had definitely been at that job too long. He loaded it all into the washing machine (I don't care if that's illogical) and turned it on.

A.N.: I know absolutely nothing about washing clothes, so if the stuff I wrote above doesn't makes sense, sry.

He went back up to her room, and tried to think of some quick ways to clean everything up. He took a trash bag, and absent mindedly scraped everything off her desk into it. Luckily, there was nothing un-trash-worthy on top of it, except maybe a couple nice pens.

He scraped most of the stuff off the floor into trash bag. The floor still had dirt on it, so he went downstairs to get the vacuum. He took it upstairs and ran it over her carpet. He still just couldn't believe that she trashed her room so bad. Maybe Souta had been in there…

Inuyasha looked over the room. It looked exceptional, except for the covers that were still in the washer.

A.N. Pffffft. I cant even believe I just wrote that much about someone doing laundry!

"I see the limo, I see the limo! Our Kagome's home!" he heard Ms. Higurashi squealing, and then he heard her high-heels scurrying over to the door. And then Mr. Higurashi's heavy footsteps slowly walking over to the door.

"Inuyasha, come get Kagome's bags for her!" Mr. Higuashi yelled.

"Kay!" Inuyasha yelled back, as he ran down the stairs. He got outside, and saw two girls getting out of the car. He knew that one of them had to be Kagome, but who was the other one?

"Umm… Kikyo, honey, what are you doing back?" Ms. Higurashi asked. Inuyasha took it this was their other daughter, as he lifted their bags up and started back towards the house. Man, these are HEAVY! he thought What all do you need for boarding school? He wondered.

"They thought my intellectual status was too high for a school like that," Kagome said, nodding her head.

"Ha ha ha! Very funny! She got kicked out," Kagome explained.

"Kikyo! You got kicked out of ANOTHER school? We sent you there to straiten you out!" Ms. Higurashi exclaimed.

"That went well," Kagome said, sarcastically. Her Father shot her a look. Inuyasha was getting interested, but something told him he didn't belong there at that very moment, so he went into the house to put their things away.

He knew where Kagome's room was, but where was "Kikyo's"? He set the bags that had Kagome's name on them in her room, and just assumed the rest of them were Kikyo's.

He ran back downstairs, and asked them "Where's Kikyo's room?"

"Kikyo's room is in the attic. There should be a cord to pull the ladder down somewhere in the hallway where your and Kagome's room is," Ms. Higurashi explained.

"M'kay," Inuyasha said as he picked up the bags, about to go back in.

"Who's this?" Kagome asked, politely.

"This is Inuyasha," Ms. Higurashi said "He's our…our…" she stuttered, trying to think of a word that sounded better than houseboy "He's our…"

"Man-maid?" Kikyo offered, with a smirk on her face. Inuyasha stopped in the doorway, and turned around with an arched eyebrow. He had several snide remarks ready for a comment like that, but he kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to lose this job. Instead, he just shot her a death look.

"Kikyo! Don't be so rude!" Mr. Higurashi said.

"Oooo, did I make the wittle house-boy angwy? I'm sowwee" she said, as if she was talking to a baby. Shit Inuyasha thought She's one of THOSE people. Inuyasha was literally clenching his teeth to keep himself from calling her a bitch.

"Kikyo, that's enough!" Mr. Higurashi said, sternly.

"What? I wasn't trying to be mean. I think it's perfectly normal that a boy like him be employed as the help," Kikyo said, still smirking. Inuyasha was getting really pissed. He was also wondering if his financial situation was that obvious by the way he dressed. Inuyasha simply picked up her bags and started turning around to head back into the house. Before he started back in, he saw Kagome mouthing 'Sorry about the bitch!' He smiled at her and headed back in.

He wasn't exactly sure how this would all turn out.

Ok, I'm SOOOOO sorry I took this down. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Now, you know I wuv u all! SO WUV ME BACK AND REVIEW!

Yours semi-truly,

Kanomi-Fro.
