Yoko stormed into his office in a rage. 'Who does she think she is!' He thought to himself angrily. 'If she thinks she can get away with short sheeting me and then sleep in the next day, then she is dead wrong!' He sat down in his chair in a huff and when he heard a knock on his door he gave a growl as Satira slowly entered. His anger dissipated a little when he saw how tired she looked, and for a moment, he felt guilty.

"Fine, I'm up!" she said in a ragged voice. "Just tell me what to do so I can get on with it."

"Don't you speak to me that way!" Yoko said standing. "You serve me!"

"Because I lost one stupid fight!" Satira shot back. "If I had even known that I was trespassing I would have gone around your territory but I had no choice! They would have…." She stopped what she was saying and bit her lip looking away. She had said too much.

"They would have what!" Yoko asked sharply. His expression changing.

"Nothing!" Satira said flatly, her hand finding her necklace. "Just tell me what you want me to do!" Yoko's eyes narrowed for a moment as he studied her. She was biting her lip and clutching that stupid locket. She was nervous about something, but what? Was she afraid of him?

"You are to get my laundry done, put them away, and put the books in the library in alphabetical order." Yoko said in an even tone. Satira looked up.

"But that library is huge!" she protested. "That could take all day!"

"Then take all day! You are not allowed to eat or rest until those two jobs are done! Understood!" Yoko said staring at her, his fingers laced in front of him. Satira stared at him, defiance reflected in her green eyes.

"Fine." She hissed as she spun around to leave.

"I didn't say you could go!" Yoko called out. Satira stopped and spun around, her hands balling into fists. Her ears were laid back and her tail lashed angrily from side to side.

"May I go?" she asked in a forced calm voice.

Yoko nodded as she pushed her way out. She stalked down the hall angrily walking past a golden wolf demon on the way. The wolf demon looked at her as she went into the library and then went into Yoko's office.

"So that is the cat I keep hearing about." She said upon entering.

"That's her." Yoko said, "What are you doing here? Did you get the floor plans?"

"I got them," she replied coolly, tossing Yoko the roll of papers. "Even though someone got in my way!"

Yoko sighed. "Amira, you were supposed to keep watch, Hiei was supposed to get the plans. He's faster than you, why can't you just do it my way?"

"I don't need that fire demon's help! I got the plans didn't I?" Amira said, crossing her arms.

"I don't need this right now!" Yoko said, massaging his temples.

"The cat giving you problems?" Amira asked uncrossing her arms.

"I think she is hiding something from me." Yoko said thinking about what she had said and how worried she had looked. It bothered him that something scared her that much.

"I don't think she is keeping her anger at you a secret." Amira replied. "She stormed out of here like you clipped her claws."

"Do you know what she did? She short sheeted me!"

Amira choked back a laugh as Yoko glared.

"Well, can you blame her?" Amira asked sitting down in a chair. "You did force her to become your servant."

"I did not. She had a fair chance to beat me!" Yoko said aggravated.

"Yeah, like that is an easy thing to do!" Amira pointed out. "Just, go easy on her for a while and let her get used to being here."

"And let her think she can get away with making me look like an idiot!" Yoko asked angrily.

"Now you know how I feel when you send Hiei with me!" Amira retorted.

"Alright, I get the point." Yoko said standing and collecting the roll of papers. Amira stood up as well and walked with him down the hall.

"I put the cat in you and Ali's room so I'll have an extra bed brought in there for you. Try not to rile her up against me alright?" Yoko asked her with a smile.

"I'll see what I can do. But you have to start letting me do the spy missions alone instead of the team work with Hiei!" Amira replied.

"We can talk about it later." Yoko answered back as they walked outside.
