"Arigato, master Shigure!" smiled the brunette maid. She was 16 years old and worked at the Sohma main house. She has lived there for 9 years since her parents died. After that the maid and her sister Kisa travelled around Japan living of her mother's savings. Sadly they got caught and as Kisa was only 1 they were separated. Kisa went to a children's home while the maid was sent to work at the Sohma house. Not many people liked her because her mother used to be the leader of the red gang (the most wanted gang in Japan) so people assumed that the maid would turn out the same, violent and merciless. But they were wrong; the maid was kind and very forgiving. "No arigato to you!" said Shigure while handing her 100 yen. The maid wasn't supposed to get paid but Shigure just couldn't resist giving something to the brunette. "Not a word about this to Akito, Tohru." Tohru smiled and waved goodbye to her master.
