She glared at the council while the prisoner was brought in they said to her, "Your mate told us you could remove her powers."

Naomi circled the woman to get a sense of her powers she sighed the female was too tainted for her powers to be of use to anyone. The powers themselves had been tainted by her. She moved back saying, "Lord of the Underworld would you please join me I need you."

Within moments the Lord of the Underworld had appeared and kissed her hand asking, "How may I be of aid to you, Lady Naomi?"

Naomi smiled saying, "A box to contain her tainted witchcraft would be nice as they have asked me to strip her powers." She pointed to the council the Lord of the Underworld circled the woman and could easily feel her powers filled with evil and hatred. He stepped back and quickly created a box saying, "You may put them in here if I can't find a use for them I will seal the box for the Kami's to take."

Onigumo was in total awe! This woman commanded so much power beauty and grace he had to have her. He elbowed Sesshomaru in trying to get information on her asking, "She got any single sisters?"

Sesshomaru growled replying, "No she's the only one, and she's mine."

Onigumo sighed saying, "Just my luck."

He took note that she had no sisters it made him wonder if she had any family at all. He turned his attention back to her and watched as she removed the witch's powers with ease. She placed the ball of the witch's powers into the box held by the Lord of the Underworld and closed the lid. Naomi nodded to the lord of the underworld and he bowed before vanishing. The witch felt strangely week saying, "am I supposed to feel like this?"

Naomi looked her over before turning to the council saying, "Your request is done." She then turned to the witch saying "Your strength should return within a week. Removal of your powers does drain you." Naomi moved closer whispering, "Especially when it's all of your abilities."

The witch's eyes widened as she was taken to the home that had been chosen for her to live out the rest of her days. She started yelling out, "You will regret this one day. Do you hear me?"

Naomi looked at the council saying, "She tries anything again I will not hesitate to kill her."

They all nodded looking at the woman's lawyer saying, "We need you to stress to your client that further contact with the Tashio family will lead to her death. We will not deny them a second time."

Onigumo packed his briefcase saying, "I will recommend my client do that, but I can't promise she will take my advice."

Sesshomaru took his mate and left for home. Onigumo went to his limo taking out his cell phone and calling a good friend of his. He waited for an answer before asking, "Would you like a job I'll pay you well?"

An evil cackle was heard on the other end before replying, "What do you want me to do and how much is it worth to you?"

Onigumo grinned saying, "I want all the information you can get on Naomi Tashio mate of Lord Sesshomaru and what it would take to get to her. I will give you 72 million yen for it but only if you are completely through."

The man on the other end replied, "It will be done but for the kind of detail you wish will take me a year to collect." Onigumo smiled saying, "Deal I have to get everything set up if I am to pull this off anyway."

With that, the phone call ended he did have a lot to work out. He'd need a healer to watch her, special cuffs to bind her powers, special mating mark removal, and removal of his scent. He'd need to set things up at his home first which meant decorators, a cleaning crew and repairs to the home so that it was ready for a female. He'd have to get on it first thing in the morning and perhaps hire a live in maid/cook. The driver opened the door, and he made his way to the front door opening it. Once inside he made his way through the clutter to his bedroom and crashed for the night. He had a lot of work ahead of him but he could tell it would be well worth it.

The next morning Onigumo woke up and hired a large cleaning crew and told them he'd pay an extra thousand yen if they finished the job today. He went to his office placing an ad for a woman who could both cook and clean his home so that it would stay clean until he got his female. He got all the other lawyers in his firm to take the cases of his clients. He'd need to concentrate entirely on getting Naomi if he were to be ready in a years' time. He picked up the phone and started making phone calls he lucked out on the first call to have the unique bracelets made that would prevent the demoness from killing anyone during her kidnapping.

It took him two days to find a healer and a specialist who would work together to remove her mating mark and her memory of Sesshomaru. All needed considerable time to prepare but would be ready within a years' time. By the end of the week, he had a waiting room full of women wanting the maid/ cook position. He stepped out of his office and announced, "Thank you all for coming I don't want to waste my time interviewing everyone. So I will tell you what I expect, and if you're still interested, you will stay all others are free to go anytime. I am a busy man with a schedule, so I will expect you to have breakfast ready in the morning and dinner waiting in the evening. I will call ahead if I plan to bring guests home. I will occasionally host parties for clients or coworkers and will expect you to be able to cook for a large number of people. I will give a weeks' notice for all parties so that you may plan. I have a supermarket that you will place the order for food as it is needed. I do look at the bill, and any unauthorized purchases will be deducted from your wages."

He paused as several got up and left the room. Once they were gone, he said, "On to cleaning my home. You will change my sheets and towels daily after I leave for work. I expect you to clean the house thoroughly. I will not lie to you it's a lot of work, but you will be paid well."

He paused again as more got up and left the room. He smiled saying, "For those of you who have been brave enough to stay I will now go into your attire, guests, days off, and your wages. This is a live in position you will be expected to live in my home no exceptions. You will have your private area that has a meeting room, bedroom, and bathroom. We will start on a trial basis, and I will give you one uniform if you last one month the job is yours to keep, and you will have a total of 4 uniforms." He pointed to the very modest uniform saying "You are not to alter this in any way. I expect you to work not try to seduce me or attract the attention of my guests. You are allowed to wear small earrings. Necklaces are ok if worn under your uniform or are very short. You will be given two days off per week, but I will not have you coming in at all hours. I lock up my home at 10 pm every night and unlock it at 7 am only to lock it again when I leave at 8 am. I don't want you staying out over night as I live in a high-class neighborhood and don't wish to receive complaints from the neighbors. You are expected to have breakfast ready by 7 am and your shift is over after you clean up from dinner provided you have finished all the housework."

He watched as all but two left he smiled at the two saying, "You will receive full medical coverage plus a weekly paycheck. You are to buy your supplies with your pay minus soap and toilet paper. There will be no male overnight guest, but you can invite a female friend over on your days off. There will be no company when I am not home unless you have received my permission. Any male guests must be approved by me as I don't want undesirable people in my home. Now if you're both still interested, I will interview you."

Sango got up and walked over to him as the other left she said, "I am not afraid of hard work and agree to your terms how much will I be paid?"

He handed her a contract with his address and how much she'd earn pointing to where she needed to sign. Once the contract was signed, he gave her a copy asking, "Can you start tomorrow morning?"

She nodded saying, "What time do you want me to arrive?"

He responded, "I have tomorrow off so 8 am and bring your things I'd like you to get settled in. As we go over what I prefer to eat."
