Princess Kagura continued.

"Now Tohru" Kagura said coming up to her and taking her hand gently, "I don't require much. All I really need is someone to help prepare my clothes and to do my hair. You won't need to cook meals or anything for me, and since I have studies most of the day, you can do whatever you like during your free times. Any questions?" Kagura finished with a smile.

"Are you sure that is all you require? I mean I could do a lot more for you" Tohru asked.

"I'm sure" Kagura beamed, "All I really need and want is a companion. Someone to talk to."

"Okay" Tohru replied nodding her head.

"Now let me show you to your room. It's right next to mine."

Kagura led Tohru to a door near her bed and opened it. On the other side of the door was another room decorated in pink.

"Here it is!" Kagura exclaimed, "Your dresses are in the wardrobe here, and anything you need please do not hesitate to ask."

"Thank you" Tohru bowed.

"Now you get some sleep. Tomorrow I will introduce you to the rest of the family and the other head servants."

Kagura hugged Tohru tight.

"Oh you are absolutely going to love it here Tohru! I just know it!"

She winked then walked back into her room closing the door behind her.

Tohru sighed and began to unpack her bags, which had been brought up by another servant no doubt. She pulled each of the zodiac figurines out and placed them on her dressing table. Finally she undressed, got into her nightgown and climbed under the silky sheets. She blew out the candle on her nightstand and two seconds later she was fast asleep.
