"Here we are." Yuki-san said walking into a clearing.
Both Tohruchan and I looked amazed.
In front of us was the Sohma castle. It was about 4 stories high, plus 2 stories under the ground and the attic. It was a light shade of purple and it was magnificent in their view.
Before the castle was a large garden that wrapped around the whole castle, full of multiple color of roses, lillys, and every flower there is. Also, around the gardens were 12 animal figures cut out of the bushes. Closest to them was a purple rose bush cut out in a shape of a rat. The one next to it had a cluster of black and white cosmos in the shape of a miniture ox. Next was a bush of orange and black carnations in the shape of a tiger. Then there were a bunch of sunflowers in the shape of a rabbit. A violet bush in a pale pink color were next in a shape of a dragon. Snowballs in the shape of a coiled up snake. A bush of dark color stargazers in the shape of a horse were next to those. Next was a bush of sweet pea flowers in a light orange in the shape of a sheep. Dark pink penoy in the shape of a monkey was next. Birds of paridise were set about in the shape of a sparrow. Dark blue cornflowers were next in the sshape of a dog. And finally were some dark azaleas in the shape of a boar.
"Wow!" Tohru-chan said. "This a wonderful garden!" She exclaimed. She's always loved flowers.
"It is pretty." I said still looking at the rat one.
"Oh!" Tohru-chan said suddenly. "They're the chinese zodiac!" She would catch that. I noticed that her smile deflated a little after looking around again.
"Yes that's right, Honda-san." Yuki-san said.
"Since you're a Sohma prince, you shouldn't be so formal. Also, we're both "Honda-san's" or did you already forget our names?" I asked looking over at him. He seemed surprised.
"Ah...your right. Then how about, Tohru-san and Machi-san?" Yuki-san asked.
"That's fine." I said quietly.I was still looking at the rat one. I've always liked mice and rats, don't know why, just have.
"Now, let's go and see if we need more help." Yuki-san said walking on the path through the garden.
Tohru and I were right behind him.
We walked into the castle and I instantly saw guards running around everywhere and a ...girl ...I think, in the middle of the comotion.
"We can't seem to find him anywhere, Ayame-sama." the first guard said looking at him while bowing. the rest of them were bowing behind him.
"Forgive us, Ayame-sama!" bellowed out the rest of the guards.
"What are you doing now, Ayame?" Asked a man behind the girl with hair in a ponytail and some of it falling over his right eye.
"Oh! It's terrible, Ha'ri! My dear and precious brother was gone early this morning and has yet to return to us! I only hope that he's perfectly ok! For if there is something bigger thena scratch on his gorgious face, then I will hunt the preputrator down and make him atone for what he's done!!" The girl said.
The male just sighed and pointed towards Yuki-san, Tohru-chan and I . "He's right there." he said before leaving the girl with them, he also dismissed the guards. "Idiot." he muttered.
"My presious Yuki-chan!!" she yelled running towards us. "I was extremly worried over your health!" Then she tried to hug Yuki-san, but he moved over a little making the girl fall.
""You shouldn't have been. I'm fine, nii-san." Yuki-san siad
"Wait, nii-san?" Tohru said, not even noticing she was talking. "Your a guy!?!"
Great going, Tohru-chan. Now we'll get kicked out of here and-
"Why yes, you gorgeous flower you, I'm a guy. But you thought I was so pretty that i must be a girl! But you are wrong. Who are you two. Don't think I've seen you around the castle before. My name's Ayame Sohma-san, you?" Ayame-san said looking at us.
"I'm Machi Honda, and She's Tohru Honda. We were brought here by your brother." I said keeping my my face stone. I thought he was a girl too. But I don't want him saying that to me also. "We were told that there might be a job here for us."
"Did you guys save my precious brother!? Oh! I am so grateful for the two of you! Of course there is one...A couple just quit, so there is an opening!" Ayame said.
"Let me guess, Kagura-san's personail maids just left." Yuki said.
"You'd be correct! I have such a smart brother!" Ayame said cuddiling Yuki.
"It's called common sense since her maids keep quitting after a few days." Yuki said trying to push Ayame away from him.
Just what kind of girl is this "Kagura-san"?
"So...We're going to be her new personal maid?" I asked. I'm hoping not, but it might be the only job me and Tohru can get.
"Yes, my precious new maid!" Ayame said still hanging onto Yuki.
"Get off of me!" Yuki said hitting Ayame over the head. Nice job, Yuki-sama!
"Owww. I guess I'll have Ha'ri look at this. Goodbye, Newlings!" Ayame said waving goodbye to us.
"Wi-Will he be okay?" Tohru asked worried. She's always been like that, worried over the smallest thing.
"Yes, he'll be fine. Hatori-san probably won't kill him." Yuki said. 'Probably'? What kind of people live here? "Anyway, you will be attending to Kagura-san, but only after you learn the castle's directions, well...most of them. And you'll be taught by two of our already employed maids. They've both been great help here. This way." Yuki said as he left in a direction down the hallway. We followed after him as he continued talking. "They always show around our newest maids. They aren't the oldest maids, but they are the ones with most of their time their hands. They do help out other maids, but they aren't exactly maids themselves. They just help out around the place and then they just relax. They are my personal maids, but I don't like to rely on others and the other scares me. Here they are." Yuki said as we saw two girls just having tea in the kitchen.
"Did you need us for something, Yuki-sama?" The black haired one asked.
"I wanted you two to show around these two. They are new here and they are going to be Kagura-san's new personal maids." Yuki explained.
"Yea, sure thing, prince." The blond said.
"Thank you." Yuki said to them. "Well, I'll see you later. Ja Ne, Tohru-san, Machi-san. I leave them to you two, Hanajime-san, Uotani-san." With that he left.
"Ja Ne, Yuki-sama." Tohru said bowing as he left.
