Chapter 7: So much cleaning…
-
Sango had been working on a way to find some bathroom cleaner or something to clean out the toilet and sink. Personally, she didn't want to do that by hand. The sink was doing well with just water, but it still had really gross looking stains. She sighed as she got off the floor. Grabbing her broom and a bag of cloths, she got up and began to clean off the bed. Dusting the bed off, she took the sheets and threw them on the ground. She began to dust off the dressers until you could tell what the color was, then moved onto the mirror. She picked up the sheets, walked to the stairs, and threw them down the stairs.
She sighed as she walked back in the room. Grabbing the broom, she began to sweep everything out, including any objects that just so happened to be on the ground at that specific moment in time. Everything ended up going straight into the hall, by the door. Looking back at the room, she found that it was clean enough for now, so she moved onto the next.
That room looked almost the same as the last, except without a bathroom in it. The walls plain white, she began by pulling off the sheets and blankets, and throwing them down the stairs. Thinking a few minutes, she decided to go to all the rooms and take out and throw the sheets and blankets down the stairs. It took a few minutes, surprisingly, because some were already done.
Sango shrugged and thought, 'Now…strange…but, maybe it was Kagome or Midoriko? Whatever…'
She walked back to the room that she had decided to clean out next and began her task with sweeping, all the while having someone else watch her, then leave through the wall. Sango stopped for a minute and looked back at the door. Not finding anything, she shrugged and went back to sweeping the very dirty floor of the bedroom.
Midoriko had gone upstairs through a different set of stairs and saw Sango throwing the blankets and sheets down the steps, so since she decided, Sango was cleaning over there, she would help her. Grabbing the broom she found downstairs, she walked over to where Sango was and asked if she wanted any help in this particular hall. When she got the answer, she began cleaning the rooms beside Sango's.
Each time one of them was done, they would skip one room and go do the next. Each one got cleaned by different people. They could hear Kagome down the hall, yelling at a…rat, they guessed, by how loud she was yelling, and the banging noises.
"AND STAY OUT!" They heard her scream at it. They looked out the doors, and saw her by an open window, shaking her fist at the ground.
"I think she killed it…your sister is strange…" Sango whispered from poking her head out of the door.
"Me too…and of COURSE she is strange! You gave her all those mint thingies! You know my family has issues with those!" Midoriko responded harshly, whispering just enough so Sango could hear.
"Suuuuuuuuuuuuure, blame it aaaaaaaaall on me."
"I am."
"WHY ARE YOU TWO TALKING! GET TO WORK!" Kagome yelled, knowing full well what they were talking about.
"Yes ma'am!"
Kagome was cleaning the floor to one of the rooms on the other side of the hall, across from where her sister and friend were. She could see the hallway that they were cleaning clearly, but it looked like they were through a wall. In fact, they were through a wall! There was a solid wall right in front of her, which her hand was now touching.
'COOL!' She started poking every wall she came by, after cleaning a room then.
It took them the whole day, to clean the upstairs, but they were finally finished. Now, the once dusty rooms and hall were now sparkling clean. Right now, for the few hours they have left before the sun goes down, they grabbed the sheets and blankets, and brought them outside. Kagome went back in and grabbed the brooms, and some thick wire she found while cleaning. She quickly ran back outside and threw the brooms at Sango and Midoriko, who in turn, caught it.
Kagome ran up to one tree and tied one end of the wire to it, then went over to a farther away tree, not to far though, and tied it to there. She made sure the wire was secure, by trying to sit on it. It held her up for a while, before she fell. The wire didn't though. Sango and Midoriko laughed at that before picking up the sheets and started to place them on the wire, using some clips they found in the house, to hold the whole thing up, without folding it over the wire.
Midoriko went inside and found some baskets. After cleaning them out, they set them by them self and began beating the dust out of the sheets. When one looked like it was done, they took it down, folded it, then placed it in their baskets. When they were finished with the sheets, they started with the blankets. By the time they were done, the sun was almost completely out of view. The girls picked up their baskets and brought them inside. Going upstairs, they went into three different rooms. One right by the other, and went to sleep for the night.
Morning came by all too quickly for them, and, since the baths were still gross, they didn't get to take a shower. Getting up, they straightened out the beds and started putting sheets and blankets on each bed. After that was done, they went downstairs and began cleaning the rooms. Midoriko cleaning the living room, by the door, Kagome cleaning the kitchen, and Sango cleaning all the halls.
Midoriko first went to the couch, grabbed the cushions, went outside with the broom, put the cushions on the wires with a bunch of clips, and whacked them until she was satisfied that the dust was out. She then took it down and walked back into the house. She whacked the couch a few times, satisfied when the dust came out. Holding the cushions with her arms, she swept the dust off of the couch, then put the cushions back on it. Going over to the table, she made sure nothing was on it, then swept the dust off.
When she finished wiping the dust off of the items, she started to sweep the floor. When she was finished with that, she looked at the huge pile of dust, then the door, then back to the dust. She sighed and swept the dust over to the door, opened the door, then swept it all out of the house.
Sighing she went back to the room to see if there was anything else that needed to be dusted or swept.
Kagome looked at the kitchen for a minute, then, deciding to get right to work, she took her broom and just swept everything onto the floor. Of course, she picked up any objects that were on the counters, and dusted them off lightly with a rag she found. When she was done with sweeping everything off, she took the broom and swept the floor. The huge pile went to the door, and out it.
Back in the room, Kagome looked for another rag and turned on the water. She stuck the rag in the water and started cleaning off the sink, then cleaning everything off of the whole kitchen. When she was done, everything was sparkling.
She walked into the room her sister was in, with a new wet rag, and called out to her.
"Yeah?"
"Here. You can clean off anything else that you need to. I'll be finding another room."
"Thanks, Kags."
"No prob."
Sango had swept out the entire hallway, found another door that led outside, and swept the dust out. She turned around and started counting the doors.
'one…two…three…four…five…six…'
'There are twelve doors.' A male voice said.
"Oh my gosh! Who said that!" Sango said, jumping back into a defensive position.
'She can hear us…?' A female voice asked, shocked.
"Yes I can hear you! …Do you happen to be the youkai couple that use to live here…?"
'Yes'
"Wow…can you talk to Kagome and Midoriko for me? Tell them that one of them can come over here and take one side of the hall to clean, while I take the other?"
'…I guess it wouldn't hurt…' The female said slowly. They were gone after that.
Sango shivered. "Scared me to death…" She whispered, hand on her heart. Then she walked back to where she started and began to clean the rooms, soon after, Midoriko came and cleaned the other side of the hall.
'Your friend wants one of you to help her clean the rooms in the hall on this floor' A male voice said from out of no where.
The same reaction came out of them as Sango had.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked, relaxing a bit.
'My name is Kanaya.'
'I am her mate, Sayon.'
"Well it's nice to meet you!" Kagome said excitedly.
Midoriko sweat dropped. "I am Midoriko, and this is Kagome, our friend you talked to is Sango. Do you happen to be the spirits of the people who lived here?"
'Yes.'
"Well, it is nice to meet you. I will go help Sango now. See you in a bit, Kagome!" Midoriko left down the hall.
"So…you wanna show me around?" Kagome asked.
'Alright' Kanaya said. 'Go through that wall in the corner.'
Kagome looked at the ghost, then where she was pointing. Following the instructions, she walked right through the wall. "AWESOME!"
'You can work on cleaning this hall, if you would like.'
"Thanks for leading me here! I really appreciate it!" Kagome said, grabbing the broom and starting to sweep out the hall.
The ghosts watched over her, making sure that if she needed help, they were the first to give it.
