AN: Just some quick things before you read, and that is that the first chapter is told from Ulquiorra's perspective (might keep it that way), and that although this first chapter is short, I promise on making the other later chapters a lot longer than this. xD Other than that, the setting of the story is set in an AU (alternate universe) in Karakura Town, and is set to be a Shounen-Ai story (GrimmxUlqui, actually), so if you don't like that, then you should probably not bother reading this fic. I don't own Tite Kubo or all of his sexy-ass characters from his show, but only this crappy fanfic of mine. T_T Plz enjoy.

Charging Service: Decisions, Decisions...

"I. Am. Not. Doing. It."

Out of all my 17 abstract years of living as a human being, not once did I ever consider taking housekeeping as an occupation in all my life. Not only did I ever consider myself to be a good housekeeper, I also didn't think that would be a suitable career for paying all the nuisances of my tuition and rent since I already have to run a tight budget enough as it is.

And I wasn't going to start now.

"Please Ulquiorra-kun! I beg you to at least consider it," My roommate, Orihime Inoue, pleaded to me as if her life depended on it. If it wasn't for the fact that she assisted in helping pay for my apartment's rent as well as be a tolerable companion, I would've thrown this woman out on the streets without a moment's notice.

"Woman." I said in the sternest voice I could make to her, and she knew that every time I began to call her woman, I was particularly getting irritated. She is becoming almost as stubborn as her trashy friend, Kurosaki Ichigo.

…It must be influential.

"Why are you being so insistent that I take this offer? If you have not noticed, I already have three jobs, and I do not need another one-"

"But this job pays a lot more than all your other jobs combined! "

…

Did she just interrupt me?

…

I am going to have to take it upon myself to punish her orange-headed companion the next time I come across him alone in a dark alley for teaching this woman such rude mannerisms.

"Oops, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt-"

"Enough." I raised a hand to her, disrupting her apology before she started to burst into unexplained guilt for being rude. Well, at least he didn't make her insensitive and any less oblivious to her actions. I was nearly on the brink of losing my normally stoic demeanor with her, and hearing the tidbit of how this job can pay an amount higher than all my other three jobs did catch my interest.

After all, working minimum wage for three jobs in catering, yoga, and cashiering at a perfume store weren't exactly what I believed to be a "stable career."

"Show me this ad that you found than woman, before I quickly change my mind." I told to her, finally giving in to her pleads, yet, I wasn't going to give her the benefit of knowing she won this debate of ours, and ended up not bothering to look in her direction.

The minute I turned my head away, however, she held the Jobs Wanted section in the newspaper to my face, her eager and terrifyingly beaming face clearly showing without any regret of hiding the fact that she had me cave in to her demands for once.

"It's right here. The ad looked very pretty too, so I thought this must've been a good job for you, Ulquiorra-kun, I don't know why, but this ad felt like it was screaming at me to tell you about this." She then pointed with her index finger to the ad she was describing to me, although I highly doubted that this ad had any personification of actually screaming at her.

However, I would be lying if I didn't admit that the ad did look remarkable for a miniscule spot on a Jobs Wanted section. The ad was considerably decorated with roses and masks that resembled those close of dinosaurs, and I must say that it oddly fascinated me how well those two can compliment nicely with each other.

The ad read: 'Housekeeper needed for an estate. No experience required. Pay will be in exceedingly high wage, depending on applicant's skill and accuracy. Must work weekly and handle daily housekeeping tasks. If interested, please call 674-900-1208. We look forward to meeting your acquaintance.'

I couldn't help but still stare at the ad in interest. This ad did state what I exactly needed to pay for my rent and all my daily expenses, the words: Exceedingly high wage, repeating over and over in my head like a never-ending cycle.

"I would've taken the job myself, but I've promised my friend Tatsuki that I wouldn't take another job she wasn't in…Ulquiorra-kun, are you okay? You're being very quiet than usual…" Orihime said to me in a concerned manner, reaching out to touch my shoulder as I still stared at the ad in a daze.

I snapped out of my stupor to look at her, then at the newspaper, then at her once more.

"Hand me the phone, woman."

AN: Although I know Ulquiorra isn't exactly a housemaid, I kind of felt like making a fanfic of him being one. xD Darn him and making him trying to be something he's not. I decided to make this fanfic based off of trying to make a Bleach fic for my first story; don't worry though, Grimmjow and the rest of the Espada will appear in the later chapters, though. Hehehe For now, you should try to guess which one is in charge of which the three jobs Ulquiorra had to work at. *Hint: Zommari happens to be the yoga instructor of his gym. :D * Please R&R. BTW, the number isn't real on the ad, all I did was make up the numbers, so don't expect one of the Bleach characters to pick up the phone, just in case. :P
