The Son and the Maid
'Don't screw up…Don't screw up…' Sango thought. It's her first job and she's a nervous wreck.
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll do fine!" Her mother's encouragement did little to calm her, but was still a nice feeling to hear her mother's voice.
Her mother helped her apply her make up and tie up her maid robe. "Sango you look wonderful. I know you'll bring such honor into this family."
"I hope I do…Oh God I'm so nervous."
"Sango don't worry, all you have to worry about is cleaning and cooking, which you are very good at."
"I know…"
"Time to go Sango, I know you'll do well."
"Thank you, mother." Sango went towards the door and gave the small house she calls home one last look before heading out the door.
"Get the hell out my room Sesshomaru!"
"I am trying to look for my ring you pest."
"It's not in here. You're always loosing that thing"
"I think you keep stealing it. The last time I found it, it was in here."
"That's because you keep leaving the damn thing in here when you sneak in and steal my robes."
"I don't want your dirty robes. All I want is my rings, Inuyasha."
"For the last time it's not in here so get out!"
'Typical quarrels…' thought Inutashio. "Boys stop your arguing and come here!" The boys rushed to their father's study.
"Yes?" they said at the same time.
"You two must stop this constant bickering. We are getting a new maid and I don't want her going around telling the whole town how you two always act. Now straighten up or I'm sending you to the doghouse."
"Yes father, but tell Inuyasha to stop stealing my ring."
"What?!?! I don't steal your stupid ring! You're always misplacing it in MY room."
"No. You're always stealing it. Admit it, you love my ring so much that you want it for yourself."
"HA! That ugly thing! I think not"
Inutashio interrupted the argument. "Boys! We can discuss this later." A soft knock on the door caught their attention.
"Come in" said Inutashio. The maid walked in shy and blushing a little. "I'm um…the new maid…" Inuyasha swore his jaw had dropped. She was perfect…beautiful eyes, luscious lips, wonderful shape and hips that the robe so graciously complimented, and not to mention a gorgeous face that was blushing like mad at the moment.
"Ah yes the new maid. Come, I'll show you around."
The maid nodded and stepped out waiting for Inutashio to show her around. Inutashio turned around towards his two sons.
"Remember, be on your best behavior!" Inutashio stepped out the study leaving his two sons by themselves.
"I need to lay down…" Inuyasha said putting his hand on his head.
"Hm, I wonder why." Sesshomaru said. "You just turned completely red when the new maid came in. It's such a mystery why though."
Inuyasha growled. "Shut up. Sesshomaru." He walked out the room, leaving Sesshomaru smirking.
"That fool." He said to himself and then walked out.
Later that day
'Hm…she's in there cooking…maybe I should just go in there. What's my excuse though…hm…I'll just say I'm looking for a snack. That's it! Hehe…god she's so beautiful…I can't go in there. But god she looks stunning…Come on Inuyasha, just go in and say you're looking for a snack. Nothing weird about that. Be a man dammit!'
Inuyasha took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. The maid was busy preparing for lunch. She was boiling some vegetables in a pot and she was adding some type of meat into the pot. Inuyasha stared at her for a second before he could get words to form in his head.
"Um..I would like a snack…please."
The maid was startled at first and turned around to see Inuyasha staring at her.
"Uh…there's some bread and fruit on the table. Lunch will be ready in a little bit."
Inuyasha nodded and grabbed a piece of fruit off the table. He sat down and continued to stare at the lovely woman cooking. "What's your name?"
"Sango."
"Hm..lovely name."
"Thanks."
"Why'd you decide to be a maid? I'm sure there's other jobs you could have taken."
"Well…this was the only job available…and my family really needs the money."
"The only job huh?"
"Well not really….there was one other job I could have taken…But I dare not dishonor my family by taking such a job."
"What was the job?"
Sango stopped cutting the food. "…..Selling myself to strangers…."
"Awful…"
"Yea. That's why I'm grateful to Lord Inutashio for giving me this job."
"You must be real lucky."
"You could say that." Sango continued cutting the food, adding it into the pot and stirring it. Inuyasha moved behind her, looking over her shoulders.
"What are you fixing?"
"Just some stew…"
Inuyasha inhaled the scent of the food. "It smells delicious. Can't wait to eat it." Sango giggled a little.
Sesshomaru walked in the kitchen and smirked to himself as he saw Inuyasha standing behind the maid.
'I knew that idiot would try to make a move.' Sesshomaru came behind Inuyasha and tapped his shoulder. Inuyasha jumped a little and turned around. "Oh, hey Sesshomaru what are you doing here…"
"Mhm…"
"What?"
"Nothing.." Sesshomaru continued to smirk. "I just came in to get some fruit." Sesshomaru said as he grabbed a banana off the table and headed towards the door. He gave Inuyasha one last final 'I-know-what-you're-up-to' look and left.
"Uh…I better go now Sango. I'll see you around." Inuyasha said as he quickly hurried out the door and followed Sesshomaru.
"What was that look about?!"
"Inuyasha don't try to fool me, you like the new maid don't you."
"I do not!"
"Then why are you blushing and why were you standing behind her looking over her shoulder."
"I am not blushing and I just wanted to see what she was cooking."
"Sure Inuyasha, whatever you say" Sesshomaru said while smirking and walking off"
'Grrr…I don't like her…I mean she's cute and everything…and so lovely…oh god get it together! I don't like her…I just think she's cute is all…I hope.'
