Summary: The inn work just began
Kaoru folded the clean sheets carefully. Her blue eyes inspected her actions with a deadly eye, after all, her kendo training never taught her this.
"It is in days like this when I miss my mother the most," Kaoru confessed to the babbling boy at her back.
Kenshin continued his babbling unfazed by her confession and Kaoru smiled happily. The red-headed baby was a dear. She has been with him for two weeks now and he was nothing but pacific. She had been afraid at first. She hardly wanted a problem with Lady Uno because Kenshin demanded much of her time, but to her utter luck, he didn't. He was happy as long as he had his little toy and was half-happy as long as he had his fingers to chew on.
Thanks the gods for this well behaved child!
These first three days at the inn had passed like a flash. She woke up, bathed and went on to help down the kitchen…for the first day then was sent to dust the common areas. Traffic was smooth and well mannered, and strangely she had taken a like to her new job. Adults often complained about their jobs and their meager pay…Kaoru didn't need anything else right now. She had a decent job, room and food…and a meager pay, but hey, that pay was merely for her personal items. She was grateful she had all she needed to sustain herself and her new ward.
"Kaoru!" a co-worker called from inside the balcony of the inn in the second floor. Kaoru turned to the woman and waved a greeting with a big smile, "Lady Uno is taking everyone to the kitchen, a big group arrived!"
"Got it!" replied the young teenager and after taking the basket with the doubled sheets, giving a last glance to the remaining ones and giving the sky a last check-over, blue, moved inside with a curious smile, "I wonder how big this group really is, ne Kenshin?"
