Firevixen73- Sorry I had to repost this but I forgot to type in about three paragraphs and I figured you might want those. It's just a few changes.

Kagome wished her life could be easier, but no, it was like God enjoyed tormenting her, must be the only good entertainment he got up there. She sighed as she looked down in front of her. She had absolutely no idea where anything in the damn kitchen was and it took her forever to find everything.

Not only that but Hiten had managed to spread around a rumor that' the new hot maid was in the kitchen'. She wasn't sure who was more annoying, Hiten or his damn brother Maten. Why was the world against her?

She looked down at the large pot in front of her filled with homemade Ramen, a little secret supposedly passed down through generations but was to go to the grave with her, unless the impossible happened and she had kids.

Now that was a laugh, sure she wanted them but it's not like it was ever going to happen, she was wanted across the world and had many enemies, she could never let a child go through that, it was inhumane.

The only good thing about her day was that Amazon, no, Sango should be arriving soon, or if she didn't get the job Virus, no, Ayame. Names were so hard, though, these three weren't really. Kagome, Sango and Ayame were actually the names Widow used to call them when in public, it…it had just been a while.

Kayede suddenly walked through the door. "A, Kagome child, ye are done, I am glad." She walked over and inspected Kagome's handy work. Taking a sip she blinked a couple of times and looked at Kagome in confusion.

"Miss Kayede, what's the matter is it not good?"

"Oh, no, it's very good, where did you happen to learn this recipe child?"

"This, oh, it's a family secret, been in the family for generations, I couldn't think of anything else to cook and it's really easy, only problem is it's designed for large portions, why?"

"No reason child, you pass as well, and Hiten should be down at any minute."

Kagome quickly glanced at the door. "Hiten is on his way?"

"Yes child."

Kagome dropped the apron and scanned the side door. "I'll be leaving then."

"Why?"

"I, um, gotta go." She had to get out, knowing Hiten's personality he'd probably follow her back to her room. God that would be a nightmare. Kagome grabbed a bowl for herself and practically ran out the entrance about the same the sex driven maniac formerly mentioned as Hiten stepped through the door. Kagome slammed it shut and took a deep breath in. God, Sango better get here soon or she was going to kill someone.

Trying to keep the pressures of being normal yet herself was hard, especially with Hiten around all the time. She couldn't help it if she was naturally an honest person. If Hiten wanted to say what he wanted to about her ass she was sure as hell going to tell him what she thought of his personality. Stupid anger management. It took a lot to rile her up too, she was generally a really giving and compassionate person, but, self absorbed people like that just got to her.

Kagome continued to walk, she had no clue were she was going until or that she was even walking until she bumped into something small, and apparently furry. She looked down to see a small kitsune boy curled into a ball, laying on the ground. Her heart immediately went out to him when she saw his tears.

"Oh, are you ok…um…I don't know your name."

He sniffled once. "Yes, I'm fine, but…I'msogladIfoundsomeoneIhavebeenlookingeverywhere. Igotkindalostand-"

"Whoa, hold on there little guy, now, did you say you were lost?"

He shook his head slowly.

"Well how about I help you out of here, not that I really have to much of a clue as to where I am, let alone going, but it's always easier to be lost with someone else than yourself."

The little boy smiled. "My name is Shippo by the way, what's yours?"

Kagome looked at the expectant little boy with hopeful eyes. So much for not being noticed or involved. "My name is Kagome."

"That's a pretty name."

"Thank you, I like the name Shippo too." Kagome watched amusingly as his cheeks turned pink. Standing up from her crouching she stretched her arms and back; the reached down and grabbed the little boys hand. "Shall we go?"

Together the two walked through the grass and bushes, each delighted with the others company. Shippo bounced around telling her of all the plants he knew, which weren't that many but it was still amusing. Kagome was glad to find something as innocent as him in the house, yet repulsed to think of the world he would grow up in.

While they walked Kagome learned that before he was born the Lady of the house, Inuyasha's mother, had employed his parents, giving them a secure place to stay. His mother died about a year after he was born and his father died not eight months ago, luckily Kayede had let him stay as a stable boy.

It was about that time Kagome started to ask him questions about what he was doing out their anyway. "Oh, I was trying to memorize the oath Master Inuyasha wants us all to learn."

Kagome frowned. The oath, it made her cringe. Apparently Inuyasha was bored last night and came up with this stupid ass allegiance quote all the workers had to say. What was it again? Oh, that's right, May the great and powerful Master Inuyasha live forever in glory and prosperity. She'd be caught by Maten before she ever said that!

Not only did she want to kill the jackass who made it up but now Shippo became lost trying to memorize it. Damn it Kagome, don't get involved, she yelled at herself.

Shippo jumped up on Kagome shoulders as he continued to talk to her, it was about that time that the two found themselves in a beautiful garden of flowers. Kagome looked around to see various colors all around her. Suddenly a strong presence was behind her and she felt the sudden urge to protect the kit, she didn't know why but she did, if she didn't know any better she would have thought they were motherly instincts.

Turning around at an alarming speed she saw a giant of a man towering over her. He was tall, strong, and had scars all over his body, leaving a deformed look. His eyes though, his eyes were what caught her, they were beautiful a beautiful blue. "May I help you Miss?"

His voice was soft and gentle, nothing like what she had expected. "Actually yes, if you could, we are sort of lost-oh my God!" She looked down at her leg and screamed. "Get it off, get it off get it off!" She shook her foot.

The giant before her knelt down and picked up the wriggling object from her ankle and held up the poor creature. He stared at her. "It's a worm." he said bluntly and obviously confused

Kagome straitened out her clothes and fixed her ruffled skirt. "I happen to not like them…very much." Shippo looked at her skeptically, as did the giant. "Very much, not at all, terrified of them…same thing." She shuttered at the thought of one crawling on her bare skin.

She saw the giant was still looking at her like she was crazy. "What? I'm a girl, I'm allowed to have stupid moments."

He smiled. "It's just usually not the worms people are running from."

"Why? You seem perfectly kind to me, by the way, this is Shippo and my name is Kagome, and, we'll, we're rather lost."

He looked baffled, she could tell. He probably didn't understand, more than not he was probably more used to people running from him than worms, not the other way around. She on the other hand had seen enough to know that what was on the inside was way more important that what could ever be on the outside. Take a safe for example, boring on the outside, beautiful jewelry on the inside. She had broken into enough to know that.

"I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"Um…my name is Jinji, I'm the gardener here. I can show you the way back to the house if you like."

"Thank you so much, don't want to get fired on my second day of work."

He smiled, she saw it, the small corner of his right lip went up.

The three soon found themselves marching through the terrene of the back yard which happened to be several acres. They were about two acres from the back porch when a gate caught Kagome's eye. While Jinji and Shippo were talking she crept over and pushed the rusty door open.

Her eyes went wide as she looked before her. It had obviously been a garden with hundreds of plant life to tend to, though, now it remained a shriveled field of weeds and dirt. A land hardly worth salvaging.

"It was the Masters mother's personal garden. When she left no one was here to take care of it and well, this is what happens over the years. Inuyasha, when he was little, would tent to it himself but he stopped after about three months, when he realized she wasn't coming back."

She turned to face Jinji. "Why don't you?"

"I've tried, it doesn't like my touch the way it did its mistresses. You should have seen it when she was here, it was beautiful beyond compare, everything was. Including the Master, he used to be such a different person, but growing up felling unloved changes a boy."

Kagome looked around the large space. "I guess it would. And I'm sure this was beautiful."

Jinji continued on. "And it's not like this place sees many people either. The Master is never out here and Hiten hates the outdoors, in fact, most of the men in this house do, most of the woman too."

That definitely sparked Kagome's interest, a safe haven. "You know, I have some free time during the day and at night, I could come and help you take care of it if you want to try again."

Jinji looked at the woman before him, maybe it would work, her spirit did remind him of the Master's mother. "I guess we can try."

"Me too?" came a bouncing voice

Kagome looked down to see Shippo staring at her wide eyed. She scooped him up in her arms and nuzzled his nose with her own. "Of course you're going to help us, do you think we could actually do this without you?"

"Yay!" The small boy threw himself deeper into Kagome's hug. "Alright, we'll come here tomorrow then, at, let's say breakfast?"

Kagome looked at Jinji who agreed with a slight nod. "Breakfast it is."

Kagome was about to open her door when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Kayede and a tall brown haired woman with a high pony tail for an up due walking towards her.

"Kagome child, I am glad that I found ye. This is Sango, she is a new maid here, was just hired today. She will be staying in the room down the hall from ye and her stuff will be brought in tomorrow. I would appreciate it if you could show her around, I have a feeling it would be best if ye did and not one of the other girls. Maybe it's from the way she knocked out the security guard for grabbing her ass."

Kagome snickered, ya, it was just like Amazon to do that. "Alright, we might as well get started right now, I have nothing better to do. I think we'll start with the gym, I believe Hiten is there right now, he could use a good beating."

Kagome gave an all knowing smile as her and Sango walked together.

Kayede watched as the two women walked down the hall completely oblivious to the fact that these two women knew each other and were let alone 2/3rds of the legendary Black Widow legacy.

Firevixen73-Finally it's done; I don't know why this chapter took me so long. Please everybody review, I'm begging you! Thank you.
