Chapter 1: Arrival of the maid

Sakura's POV

I frowned as I looked at the piece of paper in my hands. When my best friend Tomoyo Daidouji said 'she'll get a job' for me this holidays so I could make more money, I never thought she would be evil enough to apply me for THIS job.

"God, I'm wasting my whole freaking holidays working for some rich-ass, posh guy?" I thought angrily. "Remember, Sakura... You are ONLY doing this for money—nothing else so at least TRY TO KEEP YOUR DIGNITY!" said another voice inside my head.

I slowly stepped up the big long stairs leading to the enormous mansion, taking my time with each step like if it was the last thing saving me from a WHOLE 6 weeks of complete and utterly bad slave labour. The house was huge, almost like one of those castles from a children fairytale.

"I wonder how many people he had to kill before he can AFFORD this house." I thought to myself evilly, chuckling slightly at the comment.

Finally arriving at the front door, I took a deep breath and was about to knock on the large wooden door when—

"GAHH I HAD ENOUGH!" yelled a young girl around the same age as me. She had beautiful blonde hair & her eyes were a nice translucent blue colour. In her hands were several luggages & her small baby blue and white uniform had given me a pretty good clue who she was.

"Umm...excuse me...?" I shyly choked out as I tried to stop the sobbing girl from her tracks. "Is this the Li residents?"

She flicked me a small glare & nodded. "Why would a fine looking girl like you wanna come here?" she pouted slightly. "Oh let me guess, you must me another one of Mr Li's—"

I sweatdropped. "Umm... actually I'm here to take up a position as a maid... My friend Tomoyo Daidouji introduced me to work here &..."

"You know THE designer Tomoyo?" asked the girl. "I don't know why the hell she would send you here but I can tell you one thing... That Li Syaoran is nothing but trouble and I'm about the 15th maid he's had since the beginning of the year. Yes he's cute but he's also fussy, annoying & thinks he's soooo good."

"Hoe?"

"Give you a advice, hun. It'll be better to go make gravy out of chicken dripping in KFC then stay and work here."

"Is it really THAT bad?"

A young amber hair boy around the age of 17 walked out and folded his arm. "Think you bitched enough behind my back, Ayu-chan?" he asked, glaring slightly at the blonde haired girl.

"For you information I'm just stating the truth!" she turned around snobbishly & ran down the stairs. "I bet she'll quit this faster then I did—and I only stayed long enough for lunch and dinner!" With that said, she stormed off into the streets and disappeared from site.

"Sorry about her, that girl has no manners at all. So I take it as you are Kinomoto Sakura?" the boy asked her as he ran his hand through his messy brown hair. "I'm Li Syaoran, the owner of this house. For the next 6 weeks, you'll be serving me. You will tidy this house, do the washing, water the garden and whatever else you can find to keep yourself busy..."

I yawned as he led me up the stairs and into a beautiful big room. "Anything else, Syaoran-kun?"

"How about calling me Syaoran-sama—know your place, you are just a maid. And I might find a few other 'duties' for you to fulfil." He trailed off slightly, smirking as he watched her slender body move towards the oversized closet.

I took out one of the baby blue aprons, matched with a white shirt & a VERY short white skirt. "Do I HAVE to wear this... It's so… revealing?"

"Its standard maid's uniform. And as soon as you get dress, you can start off with a little vacuuming. I want all 25 bedrooms on this floor done by dinnertime. You may come join me for dinner at the hall when you are done."

He closed the door and exited. "She's a cute one, this girl. Daidouji has outdone herself again with that cute little maid outfit." He thought. "Maybe I can 'prepare' a few other duties for her along the way." He snickered slightly before heading off to his private tutor for history lessons.
