Chapter 2-A maid's paradise

Kagome's POV

I finally found the messenger and he looked pretty flustered with all the teenage girls swarming around him. He took one look at me and ushered me over to him.

"whats your name, girl. I'm signing you up.your perfect for the job." He said.

"umm.Kagome Higurashi..and who are you signing me up to be a maid for?" I asked while trying to look at the paper.

"Well thankyou Kagome. I'm signing you up to be a maid for prince Inuyasha"

"ok." I said while walking back to my part of the village."

I had always known that King Youki had two sons, and that one of them was my age.but how weird would it be to work for someone that's your age? I heard he was about 17. Which is about a year older than me.well all is not lost, maybe he's nice..

Inuyasha's POV

"Inuyasha, Princess Kikyou is here." Said King Youki. *Sigh* Kikyou, a princess from another kingdom comes down here every single year. She's betrothed to me and has been since birth. But I cant stand her. She's so cold.and she has a huge crush on me! I can't stand it. Every time she comes here she tries to get me alone to do who knows what (and frankly, I don't even WANT to know what) But here she is.

"hey honey!" said Kikyou in an unusually perky voice.

"I'm not going to hurt you this time Kikyou. It's a waste of time. This time I'm going to say three important words that I hope you'll listen to."

"is it 'I love you' ?"

"*sigh* no..its LEAVE ME ALONE!" I said while running off to my room as fast as I could. But when I came to my room I saw someone I had never seen before..wearing a maid uniform. They brought them here already? I thought. She was making my bed.she kind of looked like Kikyou.but she looked much kinder.I'd have to get to know her.

Kagome's POV

Not long after I signed up for this maid job they sent me to the palace. I was awfully reluctant to go and leave my family.I hadn't left any of them all my life. But Mama assured me I'd see them again and that its just a new opportunity. So we left on foot in a small group of girls. I saw sango and ran to catch up to her.

"hey Sango. I heard you got this job too. Who are you going to be a maid for?"

"hey Kagome.I'm going to work alongside this one male maid for Prince Sesshomaru. What about you?"

"oh I'm working for Prince Inuyasha" I said.

"Good luck. I heard he was really messy."

"Well.umm that's ok I guess"

"Whatever you say Kagome, I just hope your ready for it" said Sango.

Was I ready for it?

When we finally got to the castle I was amazed. It was huge! So much different from my little hut that I lived in. I was actually glad to actually get to go here once in my life.I would have never dreamed it would happen otherwise.

We met up with a bunch of the castle people and they were each assigned to show each of us to where we needed to work. After looking around a bit I found an old woman who looked kind.

"Umm.I'm supposed to be a maid for Inuyasha..could you tell me where I should go"

"of corse, Child. I am Kaede, the cook of the palace. Ill show you to his room."

"thank you" I said while following her.

When we finally got to his room on the third floor I finally got what Sango was saying. Inuyasha's room was a pigsty. But I wasn't going to let that bring me down, I had cleaned before. I decided to start with his bed since it looked like it had just been slept in and needed to be made. But just as I was finishing I saw the hottest guy I've ever seen in my life.Prince Inuyasha.

Inuyasha's POV

The maid who was making my bed was just gaping at me..i smirked.

"Hello, I am Prince Inuyasha. And you are.?" I said while holding out my hand.

"I.um.I'm..your maid...Kagome Higurashi" said the girl that I now know of as Kagome.

"Well, nice to meet you, Kagome."

"Umm..u too.Prince Inuyasha"

"just call me Inuyasha, Kagome"

"But.ok"

"want to hang out, Kagome?" I asked her and laughed at her surprised expression.

"Aren't I supposed to be cleaning,,,?"

"Well, technically, yes. But you don't have to.. yet anyway. I don't really have anyone my age to hang out with. My brother is 25.. Well there is Miroku but he's usually just groping the kitchen ladies"

she seemed ot be understanding and laughed. "umm Ok Inuyasha. But I should tell you.threres someone at your door."

"Hmm?" I said while turning around. Guess who it was. "Kikyou.. what brings you here?"

"Well I just wanted to see my favorite Fiancée." she trailed off.

I made the motion for Kagome to hide and she did a pretty good job.Kikyou didn't see her at all.

"Well.Kikyou. Can you please leave for a while? I have to.uh.get dressed."

"Ok.sweetie. Ill go! But ill see you later! Love ya!" she said while shutting the door behind her.

"who was that?" said Kagome while stepping out of the closet.

"that.was Kikyou. She and I have been betrothed since we were born. But I hate her.and she obviously loves me..*sigh* why me?"

"well you're a prince.I guess it makes sense"

"hey, Kagome." I ask.

"what is it?"

"will you be my friend?"

"sure, Inuyasha. Ill be your friend!"
