Chapter 4
A few hours later, Kagome stretched, her back and knees sore. Straightening out the top of the maid outfit, she got up, trying to pull the hem down a little to try and cover herself.
'Damn Sesshomaru...He will pay. Making me wear next to nothing, doing housework all day...It's not like I'm not used to it, but...a maid outfit? Pervert...'
Kagome heard someone knock on the front door and she jumped, looking for somewhere to hide. When she turned around, Sesshomaru was standing there, watching her.
" Go answer the door, maid."
Kagome gritted her teeth and stalked to the door, ripping it open to face, to her humiliation, Miroku and Sango. Both of their eyes widened at the sight of Kagome, and Miroku had to laugh. Kagome's eyes narrowed. "
What's up with this Kags? Decided to play a little fantasy out for Sesshomaru?"
" Shut the fuck up Miroku. If I weren't dressed like this, you wouldn't be standing there talking like that. Damn high heels..."
Sango gave Kagome a pitying look.
" So this is what he meant. Sorry for your luck girl, but you should be happy."
Kagome gave her a long stare, and Sango shifted nervously.
" Well, I mean, any other girl would be thrilled to be dressed like you in Sesshomaru's apartment. ALONE."
Kagome rolled her eyes and put down the feather duster she was holding on a nearby end table. She was just about to shoo them away forcefully when a large hand lightly landed on her shoulder. Kagome instinctively jumped, and Sesshomaru smirked when he felt it.
" And what did I do to get this company?"
Miroku held up four passes.
" I got tickets to the Ozzfest. You wanna come?"
Sesshomaru shook his head.
" I am sorry, but I must remain here to supervise my MAID. Otherwise, I would have been honored to be able to go with you and your woman. Bring me something back instead, would you?"
Sesshomaru took out his wallet and shook out three hundred dollars, handing it to Miroku who's eyes were wide.
" Enough for a couple of trinkets and the such. Keep the change."
Miroku and Sango bowed, said goodbye to them both, and left almost running down the hall with huge smiles on their faces.

Back inside, Kagome picked up her duster and set it next to the other cleaning supplies when Sesshomaru walked past and smacked her rear. She automatically reared up to hit him when he caught her hand.
" This is part of your payments. You will let me use you however I see fit. If I want to use you, you'll let me. If I want to let a couple of my buddies use you, you'll let them. If you refuse to do so, you will be... forcefully reminded why you're here."
Kagome glared at Sesshomaru.
" You should be glad, Kagome. Those services are now there because I have decided to lower your payment. From five-hundred thousand to ninety-eight thousand dollars. I think that is more than fair, no? Now all you have to do is do exactly what I say, without hesitation."
Kagome edged away from him.
" Yeah, a little too fair. I don't like it. Why so much off? Why so much in the first place?"
" Why so much indeed. Well, its for sentimental values as well as collectors price now."
" But..." Kagome protested, exasperated. " Still, that is way too much! I'll never be able to pay you all of it and be able to afford the college tuition fees, books, board, and everything else!"
Sesshomaru shrugged and walked away.
" Not my problem. Next time, watch where your going. Oh, " Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder as kagome was making faces at him. " You missed a spot." His finger was pointing at a smear mark on the window from the cleaner that Kagome sprayed, yet forgot.

Later that night, Kagome just walked in the door and sat down on the bench by the kitchen to take off her shoes when Sango came in, a blush across her cheeks and a goofy expression on her face. Kagome took in her tousled hair and wrinkled blouse, smiling.
" So... What happened?"
Sango turned to her and threw her arms around Kagome.
" Oh, Kags, it was the greatest! We got to meet sooo many famous people! It was a blast!"
Sango gasped when she felt an object press into her hip in her coat pocket. She backed off Kagome and reached into it, grabbing a small wrapped package.
" Right. This is for you. Sesshomaru gave it to me before I came in. He said to give it to you."
Kagome was filled with unease, because why would Sesshomaru give her a gift after all she's done? Kagome took it and gingerly started unwrapping it. When she peeked at it, her face went red and she quicky closed it back up. Sango tried to grab at it.
" Come on, show me. I wanna see!"
Kagome held it above her head and shook her head.
" Uh-uh. You are NOT seeing this. I didn't even want to see it."
' Sesshomaru, you ass!' thought Kagome. ' How could you expect me to wear this?!' Sango was growing impatient.
" Come on Kagome, show me."
Kagome sighed and opened the package. Bundled up was a sheer red teddy with matching thongs and stockings. Sango's eyes widened and her face went red.
" Uhhh...oh. Well, it is pretty..."
Kagome shook her head and closed it back up, but she saw a piece of paper fluttering to the ground. She picked it up and read the note.
Kagome,
Wear this when you come over tomorrow. Nothing else.
Oh, if you have a red pair of high heels, that would be nice too.
Make yourself look good.
Your Lord,
Sesshomaru
" 'Your Lord'? Where the hell did that come from!?" yelled Kagome. " What makes him think I would weart this for him!!"
Sango grinned.
" Well...you do owe him." She tilted her head to the side and covered her ears as Kagome roared at her.
" You have no fucking idea! Would you do this?!"
Sango seemed to question it for a second, then, " Yes, I would."
Kagome threw her hands up in the air and stomped off, not without a " Whatever."

Alrigh, I know this is short and crappy, but I had to put this up because I was feeling guilty about making everyone wait so long. I am starting Ch. 5 and hopefully it will be longer.
