Hello everyone! Thanks for liking this story and I'll have to see if I can keep this up on updating before I leave to go back to college since Spring Break is gonna end soon. And once I go back to college, the stories would be on hiatus until summer vacation. Anyways, I only own the plot and the characters in this story belong to their respective owners. Enjoy!

Ch. 8

Kaoru's p.o.v.

If there is a god or deity up in heaven, I beg of them to come down here and kill me. The reason? I'm stuck wearing a stupid maid's outfit for at least a whole day and not only that, I'm forced into cleaning that moron's house as well because of my punishment!

Bi- I mean Butch made me wear this monstrosity and told me that if I ever try to take it off, he would convince his brothers in making the girls wear maid costumes and clean their home like I'm doing right now. There was no way that I was gonna let them do that so I have no choice but to follow his stupid rules!

Seriously, it was that stupid Subaru's fault for making me mad. He shouldn't have made me mad and he was asking for that punch. Hopefully, I'll find a way to get back at him and that dumb Butch for punishing me and Misora. For now, I gotta finish cleaning this stupid penthouse and did I mention that its a very big penthouse!?

"You look so cute wearing that maid dress, Kaoru-san!"

I groaned and turned to look at her. "Miyako, I hate wearing this girly outfit! I had no choice but to wear it because of my stupid punishment!"

"But you really do look cute in that outfit, Kaoru!"

"I look stupid, Momoko. Girly outfits just aren't my thing," I answered.

"I still think it looks cute on you," I heard Miyako say.

"Whatever," I sighed and dusted the book shelf.

The boys weren't at the penthouse, much to my relief, because they had to go to some sort of meeting downstairs in the lobby. Before they left, they said that we must stay inside the penthouse and if we ever try to leave without their permission, they'll punish us at night. Obviously, we were freaked out on what it'll be so we agreed to follow their rules and they were glad that we're doing that and left to go downstairs.

"Kaoru, let us help you! You can't clean this entire place by yourself!" Momoko exclaimed.

"Plus, we'll also wear maid dresses like you but in our own colors so we could match!" Miyako giggled.

"I guess I have no choice then," I sighed, then gave them a small smile. "Change into your outfits and help me out."

"Got it!" they giggled and quickly went into the bedrooms.

A few minutes later, they came back out wearing maid uniforms that were like mine but Momoko's apron was pink and Miyako's apron was blue. Looks like they really did wanted to match with this monstrosity. Though I do wonder where they even found those outfits? I have a feeling that Brick and Boomer had them in case they wanted to punish them. Oh great, they're perverted like Butch is!

"We look so cute in them!" Miyako happily squealed.

"We really do!" Momoko also squealed.

After they were done gushing over the outfits, we were then given a task in cleaning every place in the penthouse. Momoko cleaned the kitchen area, Miyako did the living room area, and I did the bathroom area. Luckily, it wasn't that dirty in there so it only took me a few short minutes to clean the place.

When we were done, we had to clean the boys' bedrooms. Luckily, their rooms aren't that messy so we just dusted their shelves and made their beds and checked to see if anything else needs to be cleaned and we managed to get it done. We didn't want to clean their bathrooms since we didn't know if their bathrooms are good or not. I used Butch's bathroom and his was fine so there was nothing to worry about.

We then got out of their bathrooms and laid down on the sofas to relax. It was quite exhausting having to clean their penthouse but at least we managed to get the rooms cleaned and everything else smelled nice and clean like fresh mint. Right now, I just wanna take a nap from exhausting myself in cleaning this place with the girls.

"Now I'm feeling hungry," Momoko said as her stomach growled.

"Me too. We could see if they have any food that we could eat," Miyako got up and went to the kitchen to check.

"Hopefully, they do!" I exclaimed as I felt my stomach growling.

"They have some frozen pizza! Lets heat that up and eat it!" I heard Miyako say.

"Please do that!" Momoko replied.

"Okay!" Miyako said and put the pizza in the oven to heat up.

We only had to wait 30 minutes for it to heat up so it wasn't that half bad, besides hearing my stomach begging me to have some food. After the pizza was done being heated up, we got some soda cans from the fridge and started eating while sipping on our favorite drinks.

"At least they had some frozen food here that we could eat!" I replied.

"Agreed!" Momoko said.

"I wonder how long their meeting is gonna last?" Miyako asked.

"Who knows? They never told us when its gonna be over so probably a very long time," I answered.

"I hope we find a way to go back home. I'm starting to miss my family," Momoko sighed.

"Grandmother must be worried sick about me," Miyako said in a worried tone.

"Mine are probably gonna kill everyone in their path until they find me," I said. "But if we ever do find a way to escape, we gotta help Misora and her friends get out of here as well."

"Indeed. They helped us, its our turn to help them," Momoko replied with a firm nod.

"I hope they're doing okay," Miyako said with her face filled with worry.

"Those boys better not hurt them or they'll face my wrath!" I growled.

"The girls are strong. I know that they can endure whatever comes to them," Momoko said in a serious tone.

"Girls! We're back!"

We turned our heads to find the boys had returned and they looked around the penthouse while sniffing something. They must've caught the minty scent since we were the ones who cleaned the house and made it smell nice. You gotta add a woman's touch as well. Before you ask, its not my word but someone else's and I don't know who or why.

"This place smells really good! Did you all cleaned the penthouse?" Brick asked.

"We sure did!" Momoko exclaimed.

"Uh, where did you get the maid uniforms?" Boomer asked.

"We found them in your closets. We wanted to match with Kaoru and help her out with the cleaning," Miyako answered.

"Now thats sweet. Looks like our girls are now our maids," Butch smirked at us.

"Its only for one day, you pervert!" I shouted.

"So you girls already ate?" Brick asked.

"Yup! We were hungry after cleaning so we heated up some pizza and decided to eat the pizza," Momoko answered him.

"At least you girls ate something so you wouldn't get hungry," Boomer nearly laughed.

"We didn't want to starve to death," Miyako said.

"Since the meeting took so long and we didn't eat anything, could you girls make us dinner?" Butch asked.

"There's still some frozen food in the fridge. Just heat it up and you could eat that for dinner," I answered.

"True but we wanna try a home cooked meal for once," Brick said.

"We're kinda getting tired of heating up frozen foods all the time," Boomer replied.

"So make us something to eat since you're our maid," Butch smirked at me.

"Whatever," I grumbled and got up to go over to the kitchen to cook.

Momoko and Miyako followed behind me and helped me get out some ingredients that we could use to cook. We all decided to make them grilled chicken sandwiches since they weren't that hard to make. We put up the grilled chicken on the pan and let it roast as we heat up the buns in another pan. We cut some lettuce, tomato, onions, and peppers and got out some mayo and mustard to put on the buns.

After the chicken was done cooking and the buns were heated up, we put the buns on the plate and spread both mayo and mustard on it since we don't know what they like so we're putting both on them. We then put the roasted grilled chicken on the bun and added in the vegetables we brought out including some pickles and placed the remaining bun on top of the stack.

We added small bags of chips with it including some cans of soda and placed it on the high table where the boys were sitting on the high chairs. It was hard to ignore them since they wouldn't stop staring at us because of our uniforms. I hate these maid costumes.

The boys then took a bite of the sandwich, froze for a few seconds, and suddenly wolfed it down like it was the most delicious thing they have ever eaten. Honestly, they're just sandwiches. Plus, they're not that hard to make. You just gotta get the right ingredients for them and you'll be able to create a yummy sandwich that you want to eat.

"Best sandwich ever!" the boys happily yelled and continued to eat the sandwiches we made for them.

The girls giggled at what they said while I nearly laughed at their comment. We just followed the basic ingredients in making them. They must really love those sandwiches since we were the ones who made them. After they finished their meal, we picked up their plates and washed them in the sink. We then threw away the empty pizza box and soda cans in the trash bin and washed our hands after we finished everything.

After we did all of that, it was time to go to bed and the girls and I have no choice but to sleep in the same room as the boys since they just said that they would feel lonely if we're not with them. Yeah right! You're probably gonna do something to us since we're wearing these maid outfits!

We couldn't argue with them in fear of getting punished so we each said goodnight to each other and went to our respective counterparts' rooms. I sat down on the bed and rested my head against my fist with my elbow pressed against my leg as I saw Butch close the door behind him.

"Cupcake, you made the best sandwich ever for me," he said and sat down next to me. "For making my stomach happy, you can change out of that uniform and wear some pajamas for tonight if you'd like."

"Really?" I raised my eyebrow at him. All that for a sandwich?

"Yup!" he got up and went over to his closet and rummaged through it until he found what he was looking for and handed a pair of clothes to me. "Here you go!"

"Um thanks," I replied and went inside the bathroom to change.

I quickly got out of the outfit and pumps and put on the clothes he gave to me. Luckily, it was an oversized green t-shirt that nearly shows my shoulders and a pair of baggy black shorts. I picked up the maid uniform and got out of the bathroom and put them near his closet since I didn't want to open it at all.

"That was quick," I heard him say.

I turned around and nearly felt my face heating up as I saw that he was only wearing black pajama pants but with no shirt on. Couldn't he put on a shirt or a tank-top instead of being shirtless!? I heard him chuckle and saw him get out a green tank-top and put it on. Much better!

"Looks like you couldn't handle seeing my muscles, huh?" he laughed.

"Oh shut up!" I huffed and sat down on the bed.

He chuckled and sat down next to me. "Since we'll be sleeping on the same bed together, you're allowed to hug me if you get scared."

"Not gonna happen, Butch!" I looked away from him.

"Now don't be shy," he grabbed my chin and made me look at him. "A lot of girls would wish to be in your position."

"They must've killed their braincells then," I scoffed.

Suddenly, he laid down on the bed and pulled me down with him. I tried to get up but he quickly wrapped his arms around me and held me close to his chest. What is he trying to do here!?

He then got out the blanket and covered us both with it. "Instead of arguing, lets just go to bed. Goodnight, Kaoru-chan."

"I hope you have a nightmare, you idiot," I grumbled and closed my eyes to fall asleep. Hopefully, I'll have a good dream and not a bad dream.

Misora's p.o.v.

"I really hate this place!" I punched a wall out of frustration.

The girls and I were in the theater room since it was the only place where we could have our privacy and the boys were in their rooms taking a shower. We didn't want them to hear our discussion so we chose to come here since its far from their rooms.

"We all do but sadly, we can't leave unless we risk putting our loved ones in danger," Meiru sighed.

"If we try to escape, the boys won't hesitate to punish us and they would hurt our precious people," Airisu said.

"There's got to be a way! I really hated having to wear a skirt and do that stupid lap dance for Subaru! Its his fault that he insulted Kaoru and made her mad!" I nearly seethed.

"Sometimes, boys can say such stupid stuff," Meiru sweat-dropped.

"I agree," Airisu replied with a nod.

"We all better try to figure out how to escape and help the girls get out as well. We don't want them to suffer like we did. Hopefully, they could help us out and find a way to get us out of here without being exposed to anybody," I explained.

"But its gonna be tough since we live underground," Meiru said.

"Maybe we can check if there are hidden tunnels here," Airisu suggested. "That could help us out."

"Good idea! We can do that by finding a map of it at the library!" I exclaimed.

"Airisu! Where are you!?"

"Where did you go, Meiru!?"

"Come on out, Misora!"

"We're coming!" Airisu cried out to them.

"We should go right now to them before they freak out more," Meiru said.

"Okay," I sadly sighed and we walked out of the theater room and towards the living room where the boys were.

"You were in the theater room?" Enzan asked.

"We wanted some peace and quiet there," Airisu answered him.

"Okay then," Netto said and hugged Meiru.

"Were you girls talking about something in there?" Subaru asked.

"We were just talking about how our friends were really cool to meet since they have similar interests and hobbies like we do," I replied. I couldn't let them know that we were talking about escaping from here.

"Thats cool," he said and kissed my forehead.

Just endure this, girls. We must endure being here and find a way to help our friends get out of here and see if the tunnels could help us out. Hopefully, the library has a map that shows what types of tunnels they have so we'll know where to go to.
