**IMPORTANT (maybe not that much) READ!!!*** So sorry. Change in summary. InuYasha finds out about Kagome's secret real early. Like, in this chapter.

A/n: Sorry about the late update. I just have so much homework and I have a test coming up I have to study for. I gotta have good grades if I wanna play Basketball. *sigh * Speaking of basketball, my couch is hella harsh! It's called Survival. We have him for a week. It's to weed out all the players without real commitment. I heard Mr. M (another couch) is Heaven compared to the one we have now. Anyways, enjoy the fic.

Chapter Six: Deep Secrets

Kagome's eyes slowly opened and saw a marble ceiling and a chandelier similar to hers, 'Have they captured me and sent me back to the castle?' she thought, 'Let's see....I remember being in the forest, then to Sejai, then to this garden then....' Kagome gasped quietly. She remembered the demon. She then sat in an upright and looked around the room, "What the- where the hell am I!?!?" she looked around the room some more and saw Prince InuYasha (a/n: human form) .

Kagome gasped again, but this time louder. That made the prince's eyes flutter then open. He gasped as well, "Well, your awake."

Kagome got out of the bed and saw that her dirty dress was gone and replaced by a silk blue dress with Rhine stones trailing from her chest to her knees.

Kagome bowed the said, "Good morning, Prince InuYasha."

InuYasha snorted, "Cut that 'Prince InuYasha your so great bla bla bla' crap, okay!"

"Well you didn't have to cuss!"

"Are all princesses-Whoa, de ja vu,"

Kagome got nervous. She remembered meeting him at her father's funeral. What if he turned her in? What if she had to go back?

InuYasha noticed her nervousness, "Whats wrong, bitch?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and let that comment slide, "Do you know who I am?" she didn't say this in a snobby way, but in a curios way.

"No," InuYasha paused, "But you remind me of that one girl, whats her name? Oh yeah, Kagome. Princess Kagome."

Kagome was surprised he didn't recognize her, "Do you remember how she looked like?"

"No. I've met so many other princesses and women. Do you really think I would remember her from all the millions of other people I've met? I'm surprised I even remember her name."

Kagome nodded.

There was a short silence, then InuYasha asked, "So, what is your name?"

Kagome hesitated. She needed to make up a name, 'Let's see.....Kagome.....Kaggy.....Kathy.....Kathrine...That's it! Kathrine!"

"It's Kathrine. Kathy for short."

InuYasha nodded.

More silence.

Finally, Kagome broke the silence barrier, "So, I'm looking for a job as a maid, are you hiring?"

InuYasha nodded, "Your in luck, one of our house maids quit."

"Cool. So how do I apply?"

"Your hired."

"What?"

"I said your hired. Go find a girl with dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail, her name is Sango. She's a maid as well. Tell her Prince InuYasha hired you as new maid and she'll give you the maids uniform. Then you go clean up and change. You got that, wench?"

Kagome nodded eagerly.

"Oh yeah, and don't call me Prince InuYasha. Just call me Yash. That's my nickname."

Kagome nodded again, and headed out the door.

"Now I'm going to have to explain to dad how we have to fire a maid." InuYasha sighed.

^_~

Kagome walked along the big castle corridors almost identical to hers. She saw a women pass by, "Excuse me, ma'am, can you please tell me where Sango is?"

The girl smiled, "I'm Sango,"

Kagome smiled as well, "Hi, I'm Kag-Kathrine. Prince InuYasha hired me as a maid and he said you would have the maids uniform.

"Kathrine, huh? Do you have a nickname?"

"Oh, yeah, it's um, Kathy. Yeah, Kathy," Kagome lied.

"Okay, Kathy, come follow me and I'll give you the uniform,"

Kagome nodded.

They walked through a short corridor and into a room. Kagome looked around, "Who's room is this?"

Sango opened a drawer and ruffled through it, "It's my room, well, half of it, kinda."

Kagome was confused, "What?"

"It's me and my roommates room. She's a maid also, I don't really know her that much, we both pay the rent to live here. It's actually one of King InuTashio's and Prince InuYasha's rooms, they just have so many they let some maids with no home live in one, But you probably couldn't have your very own room, to do that you would have to work 24/7! And really hard work, too. So I have a roommate so I could save my back," she said in one breath.

Kagome slowly nodded, soakng everything in, surprised that the girl infront of her could say that all in one breath, "Ok~ay,"

Sango shuffled through her drawer a little more,"Aha!" she pulled out a plain, ragged, faded, blue kimono, "Here you go!" she handed her the kimono.

Kagome wrinkled her nose and eyed the kimono. She grew up in a castle and was used to a beautiful, colorful, kimono (a/n: dress, Whatevah.) . Not some dirty, uncomfortable.....thing.

"Whats wrong?" Sango frowned.

Kagome looked up at Sango's frowning face then forced a smile, "Nothing. Nothing at all,"

Sango's face brightened, "Great! I'll show you the bath room so you can change,"

Kagome nodded and followed Sango through the corridors.

^_~

It's been her second day working and she's already adjusted to the surrounds and even the work. She loved doing outside work. It gave her a chance to explore the vibrant forest smell the beautiful flowers.

When Kagome was on her break she was about to go out to the forest until she found a stomping, frowning, sad, angry, and pouting Sango.

"Hey Sango,"

"What?" she hissed.

"What's wrong?"

Sango sighed, "Well, you know how I told you I shared a room with another maid? Well, she got fired for some odd reason! And now I have no one to share the rent with! So I'll either have to suffer working hard and 24/7 or I don't live anywhere! And what about food? I would usually sneak food in our room from the pantry and eat, I mean Prince InuYasha knew about it but he just smiled and walked away and now I can't get to the castle that early, and where am I going to live?" Sango said all this very, very fast.

Kagome frowned, "That's to bad," 'How does she talk so fast?' she thought. Kagome then got an idea and smiled, "I'll be your roommate. I really don't have anywhere to live,"

Sango smiled a mile wide, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" Sango hugged Kagome, "Too....tight......can't breath,"

"This is so wonderful! You'll be my roommmate! I mean, my other roommate, I didn't really like her. She was kinda mean. Her name was Yura. Yura Ofdahare, I think. But I know we will make great friends!" Sango started skipping and whistling as she did her work.

"Well," Kagome told her self, "I still have more time on my break," she headed out the door and into the green forest.

From just 40 or so yards away she saw Prince InuYasha, but not the regular Prince InuYasha; he had claws, fangs, long silver hair, and two triangular shaped dog ears on the top of his head.

InuYasha noticed Kagome staring at her, "Oh crap! She knows my secret! I guess I'll have to kill her," InuYasha sighed and jumped infront of Kagome. Kagome gasped, but didn't faint. She was too shocked to faint.

InuYasha sighed, "Now that you've seen me as a demon I'm going to have to kill you,"

Kagome gasped again, "But I don't wanna die!"

"Neither do I," InuYasha put a claw up to her chin. He was about to strike when-

"Wait!"

InuYasha sighed heavily, "What?"

"I'll make you a deal!"

"Ok~ay......." InuYasha thought about it, "Talk to me,"

"Well, I have this really, really deep secret that nobody knows but my little brother. And it could put the life I have here in jeopardy. Well, I don't really have a life here yet, but it's as deep a secret as you're a demon."

InuYasha nodded a bit, "Well, only my father knows about me being half demon. And my brother, but he doesn't really count," InuYasha paused, "And my mother, but shes dead."

Kagome frowned, "That's too bad," Kagome paused, "My father died too,"

There was silence.

"So what was this about the deal?"

"Oh, right. If I tell you my secret, and it's not some crummy secret, then if I ever tell about your secret, then you tell about mine. And if you ever tell anyone about my secret, I'll tell everyone yours. So it's sorta like were threatening each other with each other's secret,"

"Okay. But if it's a real cheesy one, I'm going to have to kill you,"

"Okay. Well, I'm Princess Kagome."

"What!?!?!"

"I said, I'm Princess Kagome. I had to marry this bastard Naraku because my father died and because of this stupid tradition thing and my dad died and I had nothing left there. They're probably all looking for me and if anyone tells where I am I will be forced back to Hyrule and to marry that bastard Naraku so he could over rule Hyrule and starve all my people and he would probably lock me up in a chamber to starve or make me his sex slave. So if you tell a soul then you'll not only be killing me, but the people of Hyrule!" When Kagome was finished she was breathing heavily.

InuYasha nodded and grinned, "So you're the one I talked to at the funeral,"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Well nothing gets past you, does it?"

"Shut up, bitch,"

"Make me,"

"Fuck-et you,"

"Whatever,"

InuYasha grunted.

"Crap!" Kagome started walking towards the castle.

"Where are you going, wench?"

"What you hired me for!" she shouted back.

And with that Kagome was on her way.
