Chapter 6: The New Maid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyo unlocked the girl's door and opened it only to have her fall onto his feet. She had been leaning on the door…trying to do who knows what. He grabbed her hand, pulled her to her feet, and then ushered her over to the bed on the other side of the room.
"Here," he said as he handed her the bracelet, "you get to live so long as you work as our house keeper, tell no one of us, and wear this bracelet at all times. If you go against any of those things…you will not live to see another day, got that?"
Tohru nodded her head numbly as she stared at the lovely silver bracelet he had given her. She put it on and continued to stare at it, though, her mind wasn't in that room anymore. Her mind was thinking about how she would be able to survive in a house with three male vampires…and what horrible things would they do to her if she were to slip up…A small noise brought her wandering mind back into the room and when she looked up she let out an,
"Eep!"
The gray headed boy was standing in front of her instead of the one boy who had given her the bracelet. He glared at her as he said,
"Filthy human, get to work if you value you're life! I'll personally punish you if we come back from the hunt and anything is out of place…Well? What are you waiting for!?"
Tohru almost tripped several times in her hurry to get downstairs after his harsh words. A black haired man handed her a broom and smiled as he said,
"Here you go. My name is Shigure, by the way, we'll be back before dawn. I'm sure you'll have all the work done though long before that."
"Shigure! Leave the human alone and come on!"
"Yes, yes…Coming Yuki! Well, later."
She watched Shigure turn and rush out the door. Then sighed as she looked at the horrible condition the house was in and began to work.
After only two hours of work she had managed to get everything in order except, the bedrooms. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to clean up their rooms or not…but that boy's threat wasn't very comforting and she was sure it hadn't been an empty threat…With a deep sigh she went upstairs with her cleaning supplies that she had found under some garbage in the kitchen. She ventured into Shigure's room first and wished she hadn't gone in. She found several items that she didn't want to know about on top of some items like handcuffs…daggers…a handgun…a crossbow…She neatly hung or stacked the items in the far corner of the room and other things she got ready for the laundry or put up in his closet. The next room she entered was, by the looks of it, that gray headed boy's room. She found things there that made her want to run out of the house screaming. There were weapons similar to the ones in Shigure's room but they were…bloody…and others looked like they were used for severe methods of torture…they had dried blood on them. After she finished with his room she took a five minute break to let her stomach settle back down before she dared to enter the orange haired boy's room. She slowly peeked into the dark room and turned on the light. She was amazed to see a bare room with merely a futon on the floor, a pair of sunglasses, an alarm clock, and one outfit in the closet. The other two rooms had been much nicer than this one and the other two also had had beds…even her room had a nice bed in it…
'Do they really leave him out this much? Why…?'
Needless to say, it didn't take her long to clean that room. When she was done, she put up the supplies and began to see if there was anything in the house that was edible.
After a while of searching she gave up and fell asleep with her head on the table near the door that she had watch them go through.
"Hm?"
Yuki looked to see the girl asleep with her head on the table in the room. He wrinkled his nose at the human and walked upstairs towards his room. As he went, he looked around at the amazing work the girl had done.
'Darn…I was hoping she would've done something wrong so I could kill her…but…I've never seen this house so clean. It's…kind of nice…'
He opened his door and gawked at the neatness of his room and all of his clean weapons. He began to feel an unfamiliar feeling pull at his heart as he thought about how hard that girl must've worked to get the house clean…and in such a short amount of time too…on top of that, she couldn't have had anything to eat after she was done…He soon found himself downstairs standing in front of the girl. Before he could stop himself he picked her up, being careful not to get her too close to his chest, and carried her up to her room. He tucked her into her bed without waking her, locked up her door, and then scolded himself for being so soft as he laid down into his own bed. His thoughts began to cloud as he fell into a slumber…the last thing he heard before the darkness of sleep took over his mind was the soft sound of the night wind blowing through the trees.
