Oh The Horror!

"Hm, the lights are not exactly at the perfect angle...Can you move them to the left a little bit more?...alright, that's perfect, thank you Sasaki-san." After dropping Sakuraya off at the dining room, Shitsuo resumed his planning for the birthday party.

While they planned to have a picnic underneath the line of Sakura trees, the party will last for quite awhile and will end most likely end late at night, so he needs to prepare the light decorations for the night time also. They are having the picnic under their medium size trees and people have the option of taking a stroll to the big Sakura trees which was ten to twenty meters from the party. Those trees are the ones that are by the koi fish pond, the place where Shitsuo first met Sakuraya, are currently budding right on time. By the time Sakuraya's birthday arrive, the trees will be in full bloom, which will also make the view of their pond look amazing due to the scattered cherry blossoms on the surface of the pond with the carp swimming underneath them. They have lights beneath those trees, angled in the best way to get the blossoming cherry trees and the pond.

All of this planning even made him excited at thinking how everything is going to turn out in the end. He can't wait to see how all of the efforts of the servants of the Orihara's household will look like and the reactions of the guests when they see it.

"Shitsuo-sama! Chiyo-chan has been feeling unwell for today and was relieved of her work for the rest of the day." Ayase Ami, a maid who works in the kitchen, was running to him looking very frantic.

"Do you need help?" He started walking to the kitchen while rolling up his sleeves.

"Not really, but...the thing is…" she paused and look guilty(?) at him. She kept looking him in the eyes for a few seconds before looking in another direction.

How strange. He thought.

"You know Sakuraya right? haha...of course you know, he's the guest of honor." she murmured the last part. "Well..he seems...to taken it upon himself to... help us out himself when he heard the news… I'm terribly sorry!" she yelled the last part while bowing lowly at Shitsuo.

Shitsuo was stunned, but at the same time he wasn't that surprised after she said the name Sakuraya. It seems that Sakuraya is too quick at finding the area where the house needs help. He feared at what will happen for the rest of the week. Usually when an event comes closer, more and more servants will become stress call out sick. Shitsuo would be the one who would pick up the extra work so the other servants won't have to overwork themselves and also get sick. Now knowing a bit more of Sakuraya's personality, he would most likely try to do those jobs! A guest doing a servant's work, the main family's pride would be shattered into many pieces if others hear about this.

"Thank you for telling me Ayase-san"

He sighed as he thought about this and hurried to the kitchen, leaving Ami behind.

He arrived to the scene, pausing to take in the situation. There were the chefs who were trying to distract Sakuraya with a dessert, while the one of the maids were trying to take over the job and the other were wiping the dishes that he was washing dry. It was… kind of funny to watch but also rather worrisome. He really prays that he won't have to play a tug of war with the jobs with Sakuraya. He really doubts he can do all the work at the same time, so it is inevitable that Sakuraya will be able to find something to do. He can already imagine how it was going to go…

Shitsuo ran as he carried the white extravagant cloth to the picnic area. He can feel sweat slowly falling down his face. He takes out his handkerchief and quickly wiped his forehead as he continued his journey.

" Heiwajima-san! I heard that Miwa-san has feeling nauseous and cannot continue working. So I am going to start dusting the main living room area." a soft voice called out.

His face turned paled instantaneously. He turned to the direction of the voice and replied. "Oh no, I got it, please just enjoy your birthday with your friends!" as he dropped the cloth and unwrapped it neatly onto a table.

"Haha Too late! I'm starting now~"

"! It's fine Sakuraya-sama, really!" He ran back as fast as he can, but suddenly tripped over a banana(?!) Why was there a banana in the garden…?

"Heheh, Hibiya-chwan, I'm coming~"

Hatred flowed through his veins as he heard that voice. He tried finding the person until Sakuraya's voice suddenly called out again.

"Don't worry so much Heiwajima-san. Look, I just finished! Hm, I just heard that Shirai-san has feeling under the weather. I'm going to start the laundry now!"

"!?"

"HEY! Don't touch me there you pervert!" A loud slap could be heard.

"Ouch!.. but that also turned me on. Heh. Let's continue this in the bedroom little prince~."

Oh my god, they are double teaming me! He mentally cried as he doesn't know which direction to go towards, his job or at his master's side.

He cringed as he snapped out of the horrid daydream. Don't make that into a reality Shitsuo! Just start rejecting his help. Ignore his words, push him out of the kitchen if you have to! He strengthen his resolve and began to walk into the kitchen.

Author's Note

Woops, I should've tried to finish this already, but my brother got me into this MMO, Tree of Savior… Someone recently reviewed and inspired me to write something short for this story.

I swear this was suppose to be like a 2-shot…Looks like this might actually take a few chapters after all. haha
