~Mizuki~

I woke up to someone shaking and calling my name, I opened my eyes to see it was Rin. It sat up to see it was already morning, Rin smiled.

"Good morning!" she smiled.

"Good morning Rin!" I exclaimed. I looked at her arm, and frowned. How cruel could Kagura be to break a little girl's arm was beyond me. But to see Rin's bright early face made everything better. I looked at the clock it was already 8:30 I got up and threw off the sheets running into the bathroom I took a quick shower and got dressed. My first day as a maid and I'm already late as it is, but I'm pretty sure the emperor would be understanding. I looked down to flatten out the creases in my dress, it was one of those old time fashion maid dresses. I examined myself in the mirror and I had to admit, I looked cute in it. Except for the SMALL BABY BUMP! I was already growing, soon I wouldn't be able to hide it. I checked myself one last time in the floor length mirror and then left to go attend to my chores, Rin followed next to me holding my hand and skipping. I walked her down to breakfast and then took my leave to the kitchen. Ryoku had already prepared the breakfast and they were sitting on a large tray.

"Just wait for the Emperor to clap and that when you go." He said. I nodded. About a minute later I heard his clap and I rushed out with all the other servants including Amertha came out with me. I gave Inuyasha , the empress and the emperor their food, the emperor smiled and winked. I chuckled. Out the corner of my eye I could see Sesshomaru staring me down. I rushed back into the kitchen and sighed, I had a whole week to do this and then Rin and I are gone.

~Sesshomaru~

What the hell was Mizuki still doing here? I fired her from being Rin's nanny and now she was maid! I looked at my father who had a happy look on his face because Izayoi finally decided to let him eat ramen for breakfast, even if his blood pressure shot up. He stopped and looked at me with puppy dog eyes. He knew I was angry.

"Why is Mizuki working as a maid?" I asked. He ate the ramen already in his mouth and smiled.

"Because I think it will do her some good to stay here." He replied. It couldn't possibly do any good for her here. My father had a reason but even if I continued to ask he would just keep avoiding it. Rin started to pull on the sleeve of my polo shirt, I looked down to see she had spilled cereal and milk all over her because she wasn't steady with her left hand as she was with her right. I sighed and grabbed her napkin and cleaned her up.

"Rin sorry." She said. I looked into her apologetic eyes, I could see pain and sadness in her eyes. I didn't want her to feel like it was her fault. I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.

"You did nothing wrong, you simply need more practice at using your left hand." I smiled. She nodded. The rest of breakfast I helped Rin feed herself.

~Kagura~

Mizuki was back and sure enough she was going to keep a close eye on me and the girl. I needed to find a way to get rid of Rin. Once I had her out of the picture I would have Sesshomaru all to myself and then we could get married and I could take over the throne. I finished my breakfast and excused myself, I rushed to my room and ran over to the bathroom taking my purse with me. Once inside I pulled out my phone and dialed Naraku's number.

"Hello daughter…. How is everything going?" he asked.

"Not good father! The spell isn't working like it should, he's still attached to that little girl!" I growled. I heard a small chuckle on the other side.

"Do not fret daughter, I have the perfect solution to get rid of the girl." He replied. I tapped my finger nails impatiently on the counter top.

"What is it?" I asked.

"There's a small vile within your wallet, give it to the girl and she'll have a long peaceful sleep….." he laughed. I wanted to kill the girl not make her sleepy! I hung up the phone and dug through my purse until I found a red small vile with a bow top in my wallet. I smiled.

"Nighty nighty Rin." I whispered.

~Sesshomaru~

Today was a day I was going to spend with Rin, she was lacking attention and maybe that's why she's been hurting herself a lot. To get my affection. I sat in her room as she decorated my hair with barrettes and bows. I usually hated this kind of torture to my beautiful hair but if it was for Rin then I had no problem with it. She giggled as she stuck a pink bow on my bang, mumbling to herself how pretty I looked.

"Sesshomaru-sama is pretty!" she giggled. I sighed. Maybe I could find an alternative to this, but I wanted to make Rin happy. I felt a sharp tug on the middle of my head, Rin was prying a brush through it. I reached my hand back to feel it, my hair was knotted and tangled. Oh so badly I wanted to tell her no, but then she would hit me with her smile and her big brown eyes. Instead of trying to take the knot out she just stuck a bow right in the middle of it. I would have to make an appointment for my hairdresser later, she was always able to work miracles with hair.

My father walked in smirking at the sight of Rin doing my hair, I rolled my eyes.

"What do you need father?" I asked. Rin stopped and looked at my father and got a huge Rin on her face.

"Oh nothing I just wanted to see what was all the giggling about." He said. Pinching Rin's face and making baby noises. Rin giggled.

"Rin no baby! Rin big girl!" she exclaimed. My father patted her head.

"So she is." He chuckled.

"Sesshomaru did you look over that form for the land expansion in Osaka?" my father asked. I had completely forgot about it. I stood up, giving Rin a kiss on her forehead I rushed out.

"I will be right back Rin!" I said. I didn't bother to look back because I knew Rin had a disappointing look on her face.
