Beyond the wiring

A/N: This is the second time I'm typing chapter two, my stupid computer froze after I saved the file and when I restarted my computer it erased everything. That was two hours and thirty minutes of hardwork into the computer trashcan. now, I'm wallowing in self-pity while typing you this chapter. If it wasn't for your reviews I wouldn't be typing.

I had alot of reviews for just the first chapter at least I think so. So please keep on reviewing, it keeps me motivated not that I'm not. What do you think I'm re-writing the second chapters for, here I am totally angry at my computer while my mom laughs at me uncontrollably, I fell so unloved _;

It's almost twelve 'o clock and my parents are watching some t.v show and laughing like hyenas and I wonder why I have insomnia. *Bangs head on keyboard

I'v got some coffee and my favorite rock c.d, what can go wrong?

Onwards with the story(again).........

Beyond the wiring

Chapter one

Sewing lessons and meeting new people

It was past noon and all of the household chores were finished leaving Kagome with nothing to do. She decided to visit Senator Inutashio's wife, Mrs. Akuma who was nice enough to invite her to come and visit her whenever she wanted company or wanted to talk.

She stood next to the doorway uncertain if she should come in or not, she didn't want to be rude even though she was a humanoid didn't mean she didn't have manners.

"Mrs. Akuma?"

"Come in dear"She replied softly.

Mrs. Akuma sat on her bed absorbed with something that was set in her lap. Her hand moved rthymically in a pattern.

Kagome came down and sat next to her, she sat there puzzled 'what is she doing?'.

"What are you doing?" She asked watching Mrs. Akuma weave the needle in and out the fabric.

"Sewing dear, here you try" She replied holding out a medium sized needle with a spool of pink thread. Kagome gladly took it trying to copy Mrs. Akuma's earlier actions; getting the thread through the small hole.

Noticing kagome's dilemma, she took the needle and thread from kagome's hands and with one skillful movement, she was able to get the thread through the loop and knot it securely.

Kagome tried to sew as skillfully as Mrs.Akuma did but her fingers just fumbled around causing the string to tangle. Mrs. Akuma yet again helped her with her problem, untangling the string with her experienced hands.

"Can you teach me how to sew?" Kagome said quietly, being embarassed of making a fool of herself in front of Mrs. Akuma.

"Of course"

"Um Mrs. Akuma?"

"Thank you" Mrs. Akuma only smiled, day by day Kagome seemed to act more and more like a human than what she truly was.

-----

After sewing lessons, she quietly excused herself thanking Mrs. Akuma on her way out the door.

She walked down the hall and around the corner only bumping into someone, another maid presumably, she could tell by the way the person dressed. She helped the girl up dusting off her clothes afterwards.

"I'm sorry" The girl quickly bowed

"Sorry I wasn't looking where I was going anyway" Kagome replied

The girl only grinned extending her hand out, "I'm Rin and you are?"

"Kagome" She gladly took that hand giving a firm handshake.

"It was nice talking to you Kagome, see you around!" with that she went down the opposite side of the corridor and around the bend.

'What a nice girl, yet sometimes a bit too hyper' she thought.

-----

She wandered around the halls aimlessly, Where was she?

'Oh great I'm completely lost' She thought miserably, frantically looking for the right corridor.

Which one was it? north,south,east,or west?

She decided, she go wherever her feet would take her, it led her to a large room filled with shelves and shelves of books.

She stared in awe, there were so many books and so many different types of them.

"Lost child?"

She spun around quickly to come face to face with a old woman, she had grey hair and a eyepatch over her left eye.

"I'm Kaede the librarian of all the libraries in this mansion, hired by Inutashio" She said giving Kagome a small smile.

"Kagome"

"Ah you want to go back to the main hall correct?" She asked.

"Yeah"

"Go down the this corridor , then take a left, then go around the corner , then take a right then another right and you should be able to find the main corridor" Kaede instructed pointing to the opposite side of the hall.

"Thank you" Kagome said softly giving Kaede a small bow.

-----

After following Kaede's direction which she recorded in her memory, she suprisingly found the main hall. She let out a sigh of relief until she glanced at her watch.

'Oh no, I'm going to be late' She thought rushing down the corridor, hopefully this time she wouldn't get lost again. Today, she promised the other maids she'd help set up the dinner table anf bring out the food dishes.

Seeing that they were still preparing dinner, she decided to det the table. She carried all the plates and utencils, that towered and swayed in her hands since there were so many.

She placed a plate for each chair, there were seven chairs instead of the usual four chairs meaning there were probably guest today.

She set forks and spoons on the left and knives with napkins on the right, she did this for evey plate, and a wine glass next to each plate.

When she arrived into the kitchen, she saw all the dishes were done and ready to serve. She picked up on dish after another placing in the middle of the table. She was carrying the last dish when the dinner chime sounded.

She rushed to the the dining room seeing that mostly everybody was seated, She set the last dish in the middle of the table bowing to the family afterwards.

'Was that Naraku? and Kagura and Kanna?' she thought walking back into her room waiting for dinner to finish so she could she if Inuyasha needed any assistance.

-----

"So how do you like Kagome?" Naraku asked chewing a piece of steak.

"She very polite" Mrs. Akuma commented.

"She's very useful around the house" Inutashio added in.

The two brothers remaine silent, Inuyasha wanted to say she was a pain in the ass but decided not to because of the look his father was giving him.

"Good, so what does she do around the house" he asked.

"She works around the house and serves as Inuyasha's personal maid" Inutashio replied.

The dinner continued on talk about Kagome since Naraku was so interested in her.

-----

Kagome sighed, 'It's so boring' She thought as she fumbled with the hem of her sleeve.

Kagome perked up as she heard the resounding slam of the door next to her, that meant Inuyasha was done for dinner and was probably in his room plotting revenge or something.

She opened the door and stood in the doorway flicking on the light. "Do you need any asisstance O great one?" She said sarcastically.

Inuyasha smirked and pointed to a mountain of laundry, Kagome silently fumed 'How can someone use that much clothes unless..... how dare he!' She thought.

She let out a twisted smile, "Tomorrow" She hissed before slamming the door.

Inuyasha just laughed, he didn't even wear those clothes he simply took them out from his closet then rolled them in mud. He'd show this hunk of metal what he was made of.

Kagome slid in the covers, suspending her systems for some shut eye.
