Hi! Oh thank you guys soooooooooooooo much for reviewing, I have an imac and it's very picky. It took me a WEEK to figure out how to get it to accept my files. Now in celebration, I'm going to write a chapter. By the way, MageofDarkness, I was sooooo happy when I found YOU had read MY fic. I am honored. And don't worry, I do not intend to copy your story. I just needed a kick off, and I decided to use an idea from a favourite author. I hope you don't mind. This story will be completely different. If you have any more complaints I'd be happy to 'talk'. Now all you wonderful reviewers, on with the chapter!
The Hidden Beauty
Ch. 2 Day 1
Kagura stared at Sesshoumaru."F-fired! You can't fire me!" " I don't see why not", her former employer stated coolly. Kagura's mind raced for a possible reason. She found one and smiled, a not so nice smile. " Because, you can't possibly find a replacement in half an hour, and as I recall, you have to go back to work". Sesshoumaru growled inside. She was right and he knew it. And, more importantly, so did she. Suddenly his maid of all people was speaking. He decided to listen. "I will." Rin said shyly, being careful not to look at him. Kagura's smug expression was wiped clean away at that. She quickly recovered and scoffed. "You? You're just a stupid maid! You couldn't possibly sit 2 snot nosed- Kagura stopped. Oh well, she had already blown her cover of a sweet nanny, may as well speak her mind-kids! It's harder than you could handle. And you're what, 17 maybe? You're just a kid, you can't- It seems, Kagura, she can, seeing as she handled them fairly well when you left to eat. Or whatever you were doing. Now, I am going to repeat myself only once. You-are-fired. Understand?"Sesshoumaru enjoyed seeing Kagura's fury, but didn't show it (A/N Of course). She looked like she wanted to hit something. Or someone...
Kagura's POV
'That little b! She is not going to get away with this!' I lunged at her, with full intent of smashing her face to the ground (A/N Now that sounds a little bit violent, don't you think?) but was pulled back by the collar and thrown out of Sesshoumaru's house. How humiliating."This isn't the end, little maid", I whispered under my breath as I limped home.
Sess's POV
I slammed the door closed and hugged my kids, whispering,"Be good till daddy get's back, ok?" Both of my kids nodded and went back to eating their snack, now that the show was over. I nodded to the maid, grabbed my stuff and went out the door.
Normal POV
Rin sighed in relief as Sesshoumaru closed the door.' Of course, he could've atleast said thank you', Rin thought ruefully.'Oh well. What do I expect, a bouquet of flowers?' Rin went over to the kids."Done?" she asked Taru. He nodded."Well, why don't we play a game while your sister is eating?" Rin suggested, moving towards the doorway. Taru shook his head and explained,"Shewa isn't finished". Rin was about to ask what that had to do with anything, but then realised that they probably were so close, they waited for eachother, walked together, etc. Which was probably why Sheira had wanted to come when Taru wanted a, as he cutely put it, a dwink of wadda. Rin smiled and waited with Taru for Sheira to finish. They played Candyland and Chutes and Ladders, until Rin looked at the clock. '4:30! I still have work to do! Oh, what do I do? On normal circumstances I'd presume the parents would be more picky that their kids were safe and having fun. But with Ice Prince, I don't know what he would do. Probably fire me. Joy.' Rin was mentally beating her brains out trying to find a way to keep the kids busy so she could work, and then she had it. It was so-so-so brilliant she almost slapped herself for being so slow. She went over to her cleaning supplies and grabbed 6 sponges and some string. Then she began her brilliant plan.
Later
Sesshoumaru closed the door quietly and hung up his coat. If the maid was anything like Kagura he wanted to catch her red handed. Instead he caught two balls of energy that had whizzed over to him and had hugged him. "Daddy!Daddy! We're rollerskating! It's fun! You should twy it too!" Taru exclaimed as he nearly suffacated his dad. "Yeah yeah! Miss Rin showed us how and she says we're great helpers! See daddy? We're making the floor clean!(A/N have you guessed Rin's brilliant plan yet?)" Sheira added proudly. Sesshoumaru didn't know whether to laugh at the sight of his kids or yell at his employee. His kids had sponges tied to their feet and pads on their elbows and knees like rollerbladers and helmets.They looked absolutely ridiculous. He looked up when Rin called, in the same attire minus the pads and helmet,"Look guys! Backwards!" She was indeed going backwards much to the kids delight, and hadn't yet noticed their father. Which was bad because...
Rin's POV
I decided to show off a bit after I had shown the kids how to skate (and had put lots of padding on them plus a helmet) on sponges. They were having fun and helping me wash the floor. I was having fun too and was showing them how I could go backwards when BAM! I had run into something. Or rather, someone.Hard.Painfully. And that someone was the last person I wanted to see when I was wearing sponges on my feet. Or any other time. Especially when he was your employer, he was super hot, and you had just smacked into him. I blushed and paled and apologized and got up all at the same time. If he wasn't so scary and angry looking, I'd have sworn he looked amused. But I doubted it. Alot. The kids were giggling madly and asked their dad if they could run into him backwards too. I blushed again and apologised again. Then he spoke. It sent shivers down my spine. "What-exactly-do-you-think-you're-doing?My children aren't your slaves. You are only here to, in this case, take care of my children. Not teach them how to clean in the most ridiculous way imaginable." I was nervous but I decided to just tell him. I was also idignant. I thought it was quite brilliant. " I needed to finish cleaning and the kids needed something to do so I decided to show them how to clean the floor without allowing them to die of boredom. They were having fun." I said rather quietly, fidgeting with my shirt.This was not going well. I glanced at the clock.7:30."Oh! I have to go! Auntie's going to kill me!" I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door apologising,"Sorry! Sheira remember what I told you and Taru, the cookie is on top of the fridge. Daddy will get it for you! See you tomorrow!" I rode away into the sunset-(A/N ok ok,geez, just thought I'd make it more romantic) I zoomed down the street on my skateboard, dreading when I had to face my aunts rath.
Sesshoumaru's POV
Wow that girl was strange. First she changes colours faster than a streetlight and talks so fast it sound Chinese, then she speaks so quietly I can barely hear her, and then she acts like a girl late for school! I' heard of mood swings, but not this. And what did she mean, 'daddy will help you'. A cookie? What about Sheira? I growled in frusteration. She was harder to understand than a man who has a skirt on and swings a ball-on-a-string around while hopping up and down yelling in french. Sponges? I looked down at my kids in all their gear and then just burst out laughing. They looked so ridiculous it was funny.(A/N And he says RIN is hard to understand) "Let's get you two to bed" I said, still laughing. After they went to bed I became sober again. She and I would be having a little talk tomorrow. And I needed to find a full time nanny. Ack! So much to do!
Don't worry, it'll get more interesting. But I don't want either of them to be too OOC. Please review. I need ideas. Fast.
