A/N: Just the same as always: bad grammar :puppy eyes: (English isn't my mother language and I'm a lazy ass… not a good excuse, but, whatever.) but this chapter will soon be revised… blame me for being impatient with my editor ; (Hey, now hat I think about it… I'm waiting for about a month…) swearing characters and little OOC. Have in mind that in this fic, Inu-Yasha and Kagome are dating, and Kikyou is dead, rotting in hell, where she belongs… I don't think is healthy to be so harsh at the poor zombie. Let me think for a second: Nah! No big deal.
(TT) I'm still waiting!
I can claim Mikami, Aoshi, Sasami and every other character you don't recognize. The rest belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.
Chapter 1:
An almost typical morning: Castle under attack!
wake up.
…
Funny. The last time I felt this… Mikami-san was in danger. :closes eyes: The funny thing that is impossible that she's in danger, she's by my side. She's by my side, right:open eyes: Yes, my wife is here, sleeping peacefully.
Maybe Aoshi… :hears: Nope, he's sleeping like a rock. :sniffs: He's clean and he smells healthy.
This Sesshomaru will resume my sleep :hugs Mikami: I have a ton of paperwork to do tomorrow.
…
This is great. Now I can't sleep. :sits up: This Sesshomaru isn't happy, this Sesshomaru was comfortable :grumbles: Hmpf… two more hours until dawn.
Grrr… I have a bad feeling about today.
In a few more moments, it'll be dawn.
Take a deep breath, Sasami, this will be like always! Remember, these guys ENJOY making me nervous… They'll not try to eat me, or my lord and lady will be pissed as hell, and they'll not try to take my food away, eat me or take my head off to play with it. It's been almost 4 months since I arrived and none of those things are going to happen:press ear against the door: Get That Through Your Thick Skull!
:press ear against door: You hear that? They are talking happily about their next hunt or those havocs they like to cause in the village. Take a deep breath and open this door.
"Ohayo, minna-san!" I say. Silence. How I HATE that goofy stare. Looks like these men had never seen a woman before…
"Ohayo, Sasami-chan!."
"You made my day!"
"SEIZE the DAY!"
"Have a seat… beside me!"
"Isn't she a beauty?"
"Hey, Kasumi-baba! One of your Cookies ran away from ya!"
"Now my day is perfect!"
"Here! We save you some food!"
"You look beautiful today!"
"How is the best and prettiest maid of the West Lord's castle?" :twitch: I'm the only maid IN THE ENTIRE castle! My lord was certain when he told me that!.
I smile: these people are the servants of the castle, name a type of servant and at least one of them would stand up, and you can also find a mini army here… and I happen to be the only female maid in 'juicy' age, like one of the soldiers said the other day. Of course, there is Kasumi-baba, the cook, but… she must be a MILENIUM old.
And before you ask, for these guys, speaking inside the castle halls and chambers isn't allowed. And before you ask again, all of them are youkais and tolerate hanyous and humans, or so they say: from what I've heard, my lord's departed father make sure of that when he got married with his second wife, and my lord stressed that point even more, when he brought chibi-hime-sama and my lady to live here… and yes, I'm the first hanyou servant in the castle. I get near Kasumi-baba to get my breakfast. Eeep! What the…! Before I could notice, I'm surrounded by this bunch of :sniffs:… smelly guards!
"Good morning, Sasami-chan:gropes: Sleepy?." Asks one of them.
"EEEEP!" Hey! This isn't funny:growl: I hate when this happens: Just who the hell groped me?. "Stop It!." I threat.
"Here, I saved your breakfast! Have a seat besides me!" Says the lecher who just groped me.
"Hey! She sat besides you yesterday!." Says other guy… :: hugging me.
"Personal Space! You're in, GET OUT:growl: Let me go or I'll tell Lord Sesshomaru!." I threat.
"Leave her alone: she'll sit beside ME!." Says yet another, yanking me by my arm!.
"No! You Better Let Her Go! She'll take a seat besides me this time!."
I give up! I release my arm and walk away. I want to get my breakfast from Kasumi-baba, but someone grabs me. Geez! I must tell lord Sesshomaru about this soon! I watch them fighting over the pleasure of sitting besides me, while I look longingly at the stove. To be honest, I feel flatter about the fight. It means that I'm not that ugly. Grrrr! Men!
"Enough!." I kinda know that voice…
This girl is unbelievable. Too loud, childish and clumsy to be a servant, AND the personal maid of the house lady… not that she deserves the best, she's only a human, but still: this situation isn't the proper one for the personal maid of the lady: just look at her, flirting with those guards!
"Enough!." Everybody shuts up. The hanyou stares at me in sorry and I glare at her. "In a few hours, the masters will be up. Hurry with your breakfast and get ready for work. You know your duties, scoundrel: I don't have to remind you every single time we see." Hmpf, the lass smiles at me in sorry, and the guard behind her is moving his hand to grope her… now she's pale… the guard is pale… everybody is pale.
…
Everybody stares at me paling… and bow in terror.
"This Sesshomaru won't allow any groping in the castle to any of the female staff. I made myself clear?"
AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! Lord Sesshomaru Is UP:bows frantically:
"Ohayo, Sesshomaru-sama, it's so good to see you this early! May O ask WHY your grace has come into…"
"Shut you mouth, Jaken, This Sesshomaru feels like killing something right now. :stares at Sasami and Jaken: Eat fast. Guards, to the barracks, now."
My lord walks away, and the soldiers follow him at once. I glare at Sasami and fetch my breakfast from Kasumi-baba. Better eat quick, my lord should be needing me soon. What a way to start the day, my lord is up, his pup will be crying soon, Mikami-sama will be up because of that and of course, Rin will be making all sort of scandals before noon and this worthless hanyou will be running after her, crying and begging all the way :sighs:
Such is my life. I swallow the last piece of y breakfast.
"Brat?."
"I'm malmosht dune!" Rude hanyou-lass!
"Hmpf." No comments.
":gulp: Sorry, Jaken-sama. See? I finish!"
"Good for you! Now, get your sorry lazy ass to work, NOW!"
Can you believe that this happens almost every day?
Three hours later
gurgles
…
I must to admit that Sesshomaru's idea of hiring a nanny was a golden idea. Sasami is refreshing, good girl, too nervous sometimes, but funny to listen. Besides, Aoshi seems to like her… he must, after all, Sasami-chan is the one who usually ends up changing his clothes and cleaning his messes… since I can't see, Sesshomaru refuses to do such thing (:: because is a woman job, not a lord's. Hmpf, big deal!), Rin-chan is little, careless, and has too much energy and Jaken… well, being Jaken, he tends to disappears when that happens.
Pathetic excuses for Sesshomaru and Jaken: I'm blind, but at least I tried.
baby sounds.
"Here you go, little fellow: all clean again!" I hear Sasami. "Now, you're going with your mommy!" States Sasami. I reach my arms, looking for my baby-pup Aoshi.
That's what I was expecting! I can't help but feel happy when it comes to pick up my baby-pup… this mischief little guy! The only thing he knows is to cause troubles and drive me crazy:settles Aoshi in arms: Who is the cutest, loudest, noisier baby-pup in the entire world? Still sleepy? You want to take your nap? This earlier?… Isn't he beautiful?
"Thank you very much, Sasami-chan!" I caress my Aoshi with my fingers: his skin is so soft! "How's the cutest and handsome baby-pup of the world?" Don't look at me like that: maybe I'm blind, but I can notice that Aoshi is going to be quite handsome… Besides, I'm his mother and people keeps telling me that Aoshi is handsome already! (Or maybe they say that because of Sesshomaru-san) "Is he clean?"
"Like a brand new toy, my lady-I-mean, m-m-m-Mikami-san." Sasami says and corrects herself quickly. I hate when she calls me 'my lady' and she knows it!
"How was your breakfast?" I ask her to lighten her mood and to change the subject. She always turns all nervous when she made "mistakes" like this one.
"Like always, just the usual groping and… KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"SASAMI-CHAN!" That hysteric yell can only mean that Rin-chan finished her breakfast and that she's ready to play. "Rin is READY to play! HI MIKAMI-NEECHAN! Did you sleep well?"
"Please, chibi-hime-sama! Don't jump on me like that:pant: I'm highly strung person!" That's true!
"Ohayo, Rin-chan! So? You're ready to play."
"HAI! Sesshomaru-sama is going to teach me how to fight today! It'll be my first lesson! I'm So HAPPY about it!." That's Evident. Now Sesshomaru must assume the consequences OF THAT! I bet that he doesn't even remember about that promise! Rin-chan sits besides me. "Ohayo, Otouto-chan! Look! I brought you these lilies! I couldn't found the ones that match with your eyes, but I brought you these anyways."
Aww! She is so SWEET! I feel Aoshi giggling and moving his little limbs!
"You're a sweet pie, Rin-chan!"
"Sasami-chan? Can we play today? Please! Pretty please! Jaken's lessons are boring and he's Mean At Me!"
"Of course we can play (But I don't know about you skipping your lessons) but first, we must to change that dirty kimono of yours: Look At You! You don't look like the chibi-hime-sama you are!"
":giggles: I'm sorry, I went to the garden to take the lilies and I played a little."
":stands up: Let's go!. I'll be back in a minute, m-my-Mikami-san." She says and I assume that she follows Rin-chan. I smile. They both leaves and I stay alone with my baby-pup… what's this?
"Hungry already, Aoshi-kun?."
":baby sounds: bu, bu." I touch his handsome face tenderly.
"You're hungry. Wait a little."
This Sesshomaru will never get tired of this sight. Mikami-san is feeding our pup and they both look so peaceful like that. An addicting scene, which always made me smile widely! If only Mikami could see:shook head: Not now… :scowls: I must warn them!
"Sesshomaru, I know you there! Get that tail of yours over here and sit down!."
"You rude woman!"
"HA! This is RICH! You're the one who WOKE me UP WAY TOO EARLY and YOU call ME rude?" She snickers. I walk and sit besides her. :deep breath: They smell so nice!
"You complain too much." She ignores me. "Have you noticed?"
"Notice what?"
"I woke up this morning with a bad feeling…"
"…"
"Have you noticed?"
"… Well, this Mikami have notice something… A sudden change in the wind, but just barely… Why? You sound worry…"
"This Sesshomaru feels worry."
"Because?"
"Got a bad hunch, that's all."
"Bah! It's probably nothing." She says as she decides that Aoshi has eating enough. She covers herself, cradling our pup tenderly at the same time (don't ask me how, it's beyond me). Aoshi isn't pleased: he didn't finish his meal I think. Mikami only does that when she's aware that something is going to happen. "You got me worried, you freak!"
":sweat drop: Feh. Getting worry is your choice, not mine." This Sesshomaru turns his attention to Aoshi. He's staring at me with those big deep-blue eyes of his. I let him grab one of my fingers. "Your mother is a paranoid one, pup, you know that?."
"Hey!"
CRASH! BAM! CRASH!
:deep GROWL: I jump to my feet, and get ready to battle in a matter of seconds! Mikami stands too and gets behind my back and hugs our pup protectively (and my tail too!). What the hell is going on! I hate to be right in situations like this one. GRRRRR!
"Stay with me, Mikami-san."
I Grab my wife's arms and took her out of the room. WHO dares TO attack the Lair of the Western Lords! MY DEN! GRRRRR! The guards? They aren't allowed here, unless…
"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! The castle is under attack!" Jaken. :sweatdrop: How accurate.
"No kidding!"
"Oh My!" Asks Mikami as she grabs my sleeve in worry. "Where is Rin-chan and Sasami?"
"Who is it, Jaken? Answer me at once!"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Rin? That's my Rin! Rin Is yelling! This Sesshomaru glares at Jaken and halts one of the guards.
"That Kagura woman…" Jaken says in fear. Just what I need it.
"You, take your lady to the safe den and protect her and the pup with your life, If You fail, I'll skin you alive! Understand?" I threaten.
"Hai! This unworthy one will protect your wife with his life!" You Better! The soldier, a brown lesser inu youkai, bows and grabs Mikami's arm. "My lady, this way!"
"What the…? Sesshomaru-san what are you…?"
"Follow Him And Don't Argue…!"
CRASH! CRASH! BAM, BAM!
Too Late.
"BUAAAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAAAAAAAAAA!."
I cover Mikami with my body as part of the ceiling blows up. Aoshi cries out loud and even if I heard and smell Mikami's fear, she also sounds and smell anger.
:cough, cough: The dust settles a little. :sniff, sniff: Definitely is that worthless Kagura! What in seven hells that bitch wants here? Rin! She has MY Rin in her filthy hands! GRRRRRRRR! And Where In The World Is Salami:sniff, sniff: I smell blood here, Salami's I think. This Sesshomaru glares daggers at Kagura her and unsheathes Toukijin, as I get ready to beat the living daylights out of her! THE NERVE to come here to ATTACK US!
"Long Time, No See, Sesshomaru-sama!" She says and glares at Mikami's direction. "I See you had gotten married. FUUJIN NO MAI!"
Oh Hell! GRRRRR!.
To be continue.
