Chapter seven: Time For Work
Kagome awoke to the sun pouring into her room, and Sango yelling at her to get up. Her head ached, and her entire body was screaming in agony. What had happened? The last thing she remembered was… the hospital! What had they done to her? Kagome glanced down to her legs. There was a long gash going directly down her mid-thigh, luckily, it was stitched, and bandaged. Kagome felt a wave of relief, hopefully, all they had done at the hospital was stitch her back together.
"Kagome! Hurry up! We have to get to the bus stop!" Sango yelled. Kagome shivered, she did not want to go back on that bus. As if reading Kagome's thoughts she said,
"Don't worry, Kagome, it's a different bus, and besides, I'll be with you until we go to our work stations." She assured her best friend. Kagome nodded, and stood to get her other dress, that she had borrowed from Sango until they could get her another one. She walked behind the curtain, and pulled off her dress, and put some clean underwear on, and pulled the dress over her head. Kagome rinsed a cup of water through her teeth, because she had no time to brush them. Kagome ran a brush through her hair, and tied it up with a red ribbon she found at her old house.
Sango and Kagome walked about half a mile until they came upon a small bus stop, with about five other people there, waiting for the bus as well. They greeted Sango and Kagome politely, and then went back to their previous business.
"Hey, Sango, will I see you throughout the day, at all?" Kagome asked worriedly.
"At lunch, if we have the same shifts, but I can't be sure, I wouldn't worry though, not many people here are like Hojo."
Kagome let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to hear not very many people were like that creep.
After maybe ten minutes, the bus came, looking exactly as the one Kagome had taken to dinner. Everyone waiting boarded the bus quickly and quietly. Once on the bus, no one talked, no one whispered, they scarcely breathed. Kagome decided it was best not to break the silence, and stayed quiet. They got to Sango's stop first, and Sango whispered a good luck and words of comfort to Kagome when she got off of the bus. Kagome felt entirely alone now. She tried to convince herself otherwise, but the silence was driving her mad! She wanted to scream out and yell, and shatter the pestering, cold silence.
"Maid headquarters!" The bus driver shouted.
Kagome, and a few other women exited the bus, and walked to the main building in front of them. As soon as everyone was off the bus, the doors closed to the door, and the bus sped off. Kagome got an extremely uneasy feeling in her stomach as she walked through the sliding glass doors to the entrance. Kagome followed the other two girls into the locker room, and as she did so, she passed an office of some sort. While Kagome was in the locker room, someone came up to her.
"Hey, you're the new head maid, are you? You're going to need to head over to Master Jaken's office over there." A lady, with pointed ears, and red eyes told her.
"Um, thanks, uh, my name's Kagome, who are you?"
"I'm Kagura, now if you don't mind, you're in front of my locker." She stated.
Kagome stood up and blushed slightly, and then exited the locker room. This place was so huge! How was she ever going to find her way around here? Kagome tried her best to remember where the office she had previously passed was. Kagome was so deep in thought she wasn't really looking where she was going, and thus ran into a person she couldn't care less for. Kagome was knocked onto the ground by the impact, but Gyou wasn't.
"Slave?" Gyou said roughly.
"Sorry, master Gyou!" Kagome chimed as apologetically as she could for this guy.
"It's fine, I'll let it slip, this time."
Kagome sighed, and looked around again. She decided to ask for help.
"Excuse me, Master Gyou?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Could you direct me to Master Jaken's office?"
"It's just down that hall, and to the left." Gyou pointed.
"Thank you, sir." She said.
Kagome ran down the hall as quickly as she could without being a hazard to other pedestrians. Kagome noticed her location began to get familiar, and then she saw it, Jaken's office. She knocked lightly on the door, and heard a squeaky, demanding voice call out,
"Yes? What is it?"
"It is the new head maid, Master Jaken, may I come in?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I have some things to tell you before you start today." Kagome stood in front of the toad-like man, and stared at him, listening intently.
"Okay, first, as you may have heard, you will be cleaning lord Inuyasha's room, and his girlfriends room as well. You are not to talk to him, or her. You are not to look at them, and if either of them do talk to you, you are to talk with the utmost respect, understood?"
'So that's the lord's name, Inuyasha, its kind of a cute name.' Kagome thought
"Yes." Kagome said.
"Good, now you will need someone to guide you to the lord's room, as it is your first day, I assume, and your cleaning supplies are in a closet at the end of the hall in a closet on the same floor as the lord's room. Remember what I told you, and you should be good." Jaken said.
"Yes, sir." Kagome said.
Jaken hit a red button for the intercom, Kagome assumed.
"Ms. Kagura, if you would, please escort Kagome to the lord's room."
XxXxXxX
Inuyasha sighed. He was bored out of his mind, and his room was beginning to get dirty, and Kikyo continually nagged him about it. Something about acceptable lords having proper rooms for their lady to come to. Inuyasha was, quite frankly, sick of her, he either wanted some time away from her, or to dump her altogether.
"Inuyasha! Your room is filthy! " Kikyo spat. Inuyasha counted this as the twenty-second time she had nagged him today about his room, there was fifty other things Kikyo had complained about today too. Kikyo continued her rambling.
"Honestly, you should buy slaves that aren't incompetent, or worthless!"
Inuyasha just tuned her out as best he could, and stared out the window. About twenty minutes later, she hit him with a pillow.
"Are you even listening to me?" She hissed. Inuyasha let a low growl escape his throat, and almost immediately Kikyo's scent of rage turned to fear.
"Quite honestly Kikyo, no, I wasn't listening to you, because your constant bitching over nothing is driving me insane! I can't stand listening to you anymore! Kikyo, I want you gone, now." Inuyasha seethed.
"Pookie bear, surely you don't mean that, do you?" Kikyo cooed, slipping her arms around Inuyasha's neck, and resting her head on his shoulder lovingly. Had this been the first time she had done that, he would have fallen for it, but not this time.
"Kikyo…I mean it, I want you gone." He said.
Kikyo gave him a look of sheer hatred. "Fine, but Inuyasha, you will regret ever leaving me." She snarled.
A/N: YAY! NO MORE KIKYO! cough cough Ahem. I mean, awe... poor gags Kikyo... and Inuyasha! Relationship problems, eh?
