A/N: Like in the previous chapter, this is some sort of prequel of my next sequel to Mikami, which is still under construction. Review and tell me what you think.

And yes, it will take time before I post the actual sequel. Sorry, guys! Unn!

By the way: bad grammar and swearing language here! All the characters you don't recognize belong to me. The ones you recognize belong to Rumiko Takahashi, and… I'm tired of this stuff! You Know What I MEAN, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!

"Missing Love: Sidestories."

Sidestory 4:

"Nanny Sasami."

"She ran, my lord, before I could shelter her." The woman said. "She is a good girl, she's perfect for the job…"

"…"

"… and she was scared to death: the villagers tried to kill her when they found out…"

"What about she?."

"She was never told. She found out at the same time…"

"So. She left in that direction."

"A few villagers followed her to kill her… they haven't returned yet."

"…"

"You're leaving, my lord?."

"…"

The taiyoukai didn't answer the question and left in the same fashion in which he arrived, 15 minutes prior. The woman smiled and returned to her tasks, hoping for the girl's safety.

pant, pant, pant!

I'm almost there!

pant, pant, pant!

Must rest. Phew! I think I lost them! And even if I didn't, I can't keep running, I'm too tired. And exhausted… and heartbroken.

And isn't even for a lover that I'm heartbroken! My boss just kicked me out of the manor! That ungrateful bastard!... He was supposed to be my friend: damn it, I grew up with him!...

I didn't knew either…

Why I didn't listened to my mother when she told me and insisted me to train in some martial art? But NOOOOOOOOOO! I just had to sit there, because Life WAS PERFECT!

She had to die, the spell vanished and I found myself with this bushy tail and people breathing on my neck::pulls at hair: lusting after my Blood, and pointing their fingers at me.

Spawn from the hell!

Bitch.

Witch.

I grew up in that village, I worked as a maid in that manor, like my mother, I have my virtue intact (not like some maids I could name!) and I don't even know how to kill a fly…

Well, maybe a fly, but the point here is that I don't have the slight clue about fighting and… and… :sob:…

How could they? I never harmed anybody and they know that! Why mother never told me that… that… I was a hanyou? That father was a kitsune and that…? I don't even know if he is alive…

Well, that explains my 'gifts'. Mother kept me in the shadows about my true nature, and always explains me that my sight, nose and hearing were a gift from the Kami! And I was FOOL, IDIOT, STUPID, and NAÏVE enough to believe her! Gift From The Kami MY HANYOU ASS::burst into tears:

:sob, sob: That certainly explains a lot of thing. Like why I felt sick on the new moon. I suppose I turn human on the new moon. To keep in mind. That I'll not die from a mysterious disease in the next new moon, like I used to think.

Dear God! I'm Half Youkai::pulls at hair, frantically, I'll be hunted by everyone, I had seen it! They'll skin me, and seal me, and stab me, and eat me! Not necessarily in that order!

WHY ME!

Sniffs.

Huh::stands up: I better keep walking! I don't know how far am I from the village, but I know that in this form (CURSES!) isn't safe to me. I still can't believe it. I never harmed them and they hurt me… in my body and in my feelings. They took me away from the thing I like the most…

I'm never going to get married! I want to get married some day, I don't know why, but that is my dream since I remember: grow up, get a nice, decent guy, marry him and cram him with kids, but… who'll want to marry a hanyou! A Kitsune hanyou::bites thumb:. My Life Sucks, My heart Aches, my MIND aches, if that is possible and…

WHERE IN THE WORLD I AM?

Great! I'm lost, like I need it!. In a strange forest and, according to obaasan, filled with merciless youkai to boost. And if they hate humans, they must ABHORE hanyous like me… Wow, hanyous actually exists!... :shakes head:

I going to get eat, I'm going to get eat, I'm Going To GET EAT. :slaps herself: That wouldn't happen! I will take care of myself and I'm going to be careful! I'll not be eat anytime soon.

walks on something.

Well, if I don't pay attention to the road, that's going to be difficult. What is this?... a white wall::looks up… and freezes in panic:

God all Mighty!

Mikami-san will scold me for this if she found out about this, but I can't help it. I LOVE to see a frighten face once in a while, especially if they are frighten because of me. This Sesshomaru is please :sniff, sniff:. Feh. A scare hanyou… in panic most likely.

It's good to be me. This must be the girl… kitsune hanyou, freckles, blue eyes, tall, cupper hair… lame physical condition. What was her name again? Soy? Sausage? Salami? Whatever.

"a…a…a…a…a…"

She is surely in panic. And this Sesshomaru isn't doing anything. :raise eyebrow: I'm just looking at her and her face is changing different shades of white and blue. Weird.

"a…a…a…a…a…a…"

"Are you Salami?."

":raise eyebrow: Sasami… and… who a-a-a-re you?."

"I asked first." She freezes and attempts to run away.

Grab her by her neck, like a puppy, very calmly and remain calm. The girl curls her body in a ball, opens her eyes as wide as possible, and stares at me in utter panic.

And I'm not doing anything to scare her like this.

"Yes, I'm Sasami… what do you want from me?."

"I…"

":burst into tears: Please, don't eat me! I have a terrible Taste and I'm Skinny!"

Er…

"I don't want to eat you?"

":relieved sigh: That's good to hear :eyes Sesshomaru warily: You aren't going to rape me, right?."

":raise eyebrow: Insolent girl. I'm not. :drops kitsune: I'm lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands, lord of these lands, and I have an offer for you."

An Offer? What kind of offer? What to do? I don't know what I'm going to be asked! What if… What if… OH MY GOD!. :slaps herself mentally: Snap out of it, Sasami! I must sound brave. I'm talking to the taiyoukai lord of the land no less after all!

":shaky voice: A-a-an Offer? W-what Ki-nd o-of Offer?."

There goes my courage.

"Aa. A job: your payment will be protection, shelter, 3 meals and a day off."

":still eyes warily at Sesshomaru: What do you expect from me, my l-l-l-lord?."

I don't like the sound of this. What if he ask me to be a sex slave of some kind?... wait a minute, isn't the rumor said that this guy is married?

"Loyalty and a docile attitude… if you agreed."

"Just that? What kind of…? Sorry…"

"What I want you to do is to be my wife's maid and my pup's nanny. Do you think you could manage?"

Let's ponder. I was kick out of my village, I'm being hunted by the people I believed to be my friends, and this guy, a taiyoukai, the BIG BOSS of all youkais in this part of nihon offers me a job…

"My lord, that means that I'll be under your protection?"

"…"

"Basically, I'm expected to be a maid?"

"…"

"But… I'm a hanyou, an unworthy one… to youkai kind's eyes at least!"

"My wife is human, my newborn pup is a hanyou, my adopted daughter is a human too, and the feisty half brother of mine is also a hanyou."

"Oh."

"Make up your mind fast, I don't have all day!"

I stare at the lord and think about this chance once more time. I drop myself at his feet, head touching the ground, and bow at him. If I had to chose between being on my own, defenseless and being under the protection of a taiyoukai, as his wife and children's maid… well…

"All hail all mighty lord Sesshomaru, here is your humble servant!"

":.twitch: I take that as a yes." He says. "Stand up and follow me, and try not to lag behind."

"Hai, milord."

Things can't get worse. At least now I have a job.

"By the way, salami: besides the cook, you'll be the only female servant in the castle… and warn you that the cook is a relic… even for youkai average."

Spit! The history of my life! Nothing is Too Perfect!

Fin.
