The next morning Kagome woke, dressed and got ready for the day. She would do some laundry with Sango as normal, Clean the floors if needed, opened the windows to let air in and go to the store, as normal, but while she was being normal in her duty's, everyone else was running around like wild chickens.

"Sango are you going to the store with me?" Kagome called from a room door, Sango was putting fresh sheets on the bed of said room.

"No, sorry Kagome, must prepare"

"Prepare for nothing" Kagome said under her breath as she walked away to get the list from Kaede.

"Kaede"

"Oh yes, here child, make sure you get everything on the list child, it has something of the Lords that he likes, and hurry back child"

"Sure" Kagome said and then looked at the long list, she was not going out of her way today, not for some jerk she never met, but she kept her thought to herself.

----

Kagome returned and she was not happy. She had spent almost 2 hours at store and market looking for stuff for a guy who was not even going to come home, and when he didn't she was going eat everything of his she liked, like hell they were going to save it, not with the trouble she went through.

"Ye made it back child?" Kaede asked coming to the front door. Kagome stood with bags around her feet, on her arms and one in her mouth,

"Mwammwha" Kagome tried to speak,

Kaede grabbed the bag from Kagome mouth "What was that child?"

"I said, never again!"

"Never again what?" Sango said walking to them to help with the bags,

"I will never go shopping for him again, iv been gone 2 hours!"

"Yeah but you like shopping" Sango said,

"No I don't" Kagome pouted, she did like it though, when it was only them she was shopping for, Kagome sighed.

"This old lady thanks you Kagome"

"It's ok Kaede" Kagome really could not complain. Kagome looked at the clock, it was past noon "So when did 'he' say he was coming home?"

"Are dinner time, we have 3 hours to prepare!" Aio said standing with a knife in her hand and a apron on, everyone blinked at her,

"Your kidding, right?" Kagome asked flat,

"Nope, now come on!" Aio linked Kagome's arm and took her to the kitchen, which was Aio's domain. Sango shook her head and began to set up the table, for one, she would set a separate table for her, Kaede, Kagome and Aio. Kaede and Aio lived in the small guest house that was off the side of the main house, while her and Kagome lived inside the house. Sango hummed while setting up the table.

---------------

The clock struck, letting everyone in the house know that it was 6:00. Kagome crossed her arms as everyone started to head to the front door. A butler would be there to take the mastered hat or coat, or whatever. Another maid would be there to get whatever he needed, Kaede would be there to let him know what all was going on and answer any question that he asked and Sango would lead him to the dinner room, and what would Kagome be doing? Nothing, standing there with the rest of the silly maids just watching. Kagome sighed and followed, Kagome was a good girl, well in till you pissed her off, and that took A LOT.

They stood there for a 30 minutes, nothing and everyone was getting hungry and the other maid were supposed to be off at 5pm. Kaede sighed, it was unfair to let those who did not stay in the house have to stay, and she was sure he would not care,

"Those of you who do not reside here my leave"

The maids sighed and started to leave,

"Keade?" Sango asked,

"Go, ye, Kagome and Aio go eat, I shall call ye if he arrives"

"But Lady Kaede you need to eat to" Kagome said,

"I had a late lunch, I will eat later, now go, least you food get cold" She stood with her back to them and her arms behind her back. Kagome, Aio and Sango all looked at each other before slowly walking to the maids eating room.

They ate in silence a bit,

"Its really good Aio" Sango said,

"Oh why thank you"

Kagome ate slowly, and when she was done she stood and bowed to Aio "Thank you for the food, it was good" She then turned around,

"Where are you going?" Sango asked,

"To bed" With that she walked out, but she did not head for her room, she went to the front door "Kaede"

"Ye may go take a bath now" She stated,

"Kaded I can wait while you eat"

"I am not hungry at the moment child, rest assure I will eat if I get hungry, now, off with ye"

Kagome smiled sweet at the back of Kaede's back, bowed and the ran to her room.

Kaede looked out of the window, maybe Kagome was right, maybe he was just being rude, maybe he, once again, would not show up.

I was not happy with this chap in all, but I did have fun with the image in my head of Kagome with the bags in her hands and mouth.
