The Winter of My Assassin Lover
-Previous Chapter
All the other workers paid no heed to the little girl. Even Lord Kamiya ignored her after the first few days of her arrival.
But by sheer luck, Kaoru just so happened to be bored to death at the time it was Misao's turn to clean her mistress's room, and tried to get the little maid to talk. Now, I want you all to remember that Kaoru was young, innocent, naïve, and, to put it bluntly, stupid at the time.
She went up to the mute girl and directly asked," Why do you smell?"
-Chapter 10
The mute girl, Misao, didn't seem fazed one bit, but merely stared at her blankly. Kaoru shook her head, remembering what her father had told her a few nights before at one of his meetings.
---
"Now remember, Kaoru," her father scolded," No rude comments. It's bad to say that people smell. Let's not forget the last time that happened."
"Yes, father," the girl sighed. Being told something repeatedly can be very tiring.
---
"I'm sorry!" Kaoru shouted, though her yell was sincere, it seemed as though she didn't mean it. Misao didn't say anything. She just continued staring blankly at her mistress.
"Humph, why won't you talk to me?" Kaoru huffed. Suddenly, an idea came to her head. The little rich brat grabbed hold of Misao's wrist and run across the busy halls of the mansion with the mute girl in tow.
Her father had told her that in order for people to do what you want them to, you have to kiss up and be nice to them. Although kissing an ass didn't sound pleasant to Kaoru, she decided that Misao wouldn't mind if she didn't kiss a donkey for the sake of her doing whatever Kaoru wanted. (Did that sentence make any sense at all?)
"Let's go! Let's go!" Kaoru was excited to take her maid places, to give her maid, things, and to be with her maid. After all, most of her servants were old hags and, if they were around her age, they would politely decline any of Kaoru's generous offers. She needed a friend. And Misao was the perfect candidate!
---
From that day on, Kaoru had insisted on being with Misao 24/7, much to the dislike of the other maids who had children the age of Kaoru.
Day by day, the mute maid had begun to show some signs of emotion. When Kaoru saw this, she decided to celebrate… in her own way of course.
"Aoshi-kun! Aoshi-kun!" a little Kaoru screamed at the youthful tutor.
"What is it, Kaoru?" He answered, looking a little bored from all the studies.
"You should have seen it! Misao-chan smiled! Misao-chan smiled!" Kaoru took hold of Aoshi's hand and dragged him to the garden.
He mentally sighed to himself. 'This is going to be long day…' The serious-faced man caught sight of the maid, and, having brotherly affections overcome him, decided that he could at least humor the miniature brat that bossed him around with innocent vigor.

thundersister: I apologize… sincerely this time… I'm sorry! (bows energetically) But you all know that I'm working on my W Juliet fanfic! (Which includes heavy thinking while lying down in a bed with the TV on.)
I know that this story is going off track. But it will come around sooner or later! I just want to clear the reason why Misao-chan is so protective first! Bear with me please!
Plus, I would've have updated a little later, but circumstances stopped me from doing so. I have two reasons.
1) School is starting on the 6th! I'm going into 8th grade! Yeah! Go me!
2) My birthday is coming up. It's August 31! And I'm turning 13! Yay! Lucky number! Ah, but I digress. I'll be going to the movies with my friend for my birthday then… we'll be doing all sorts of stuff, which does not include me writing my story!
(My parents watch me like a hawk whenever I'm on the computer! It's a wonder I ever read lemons at all!)
