Onigumo was quite pleased that Sango had shown up at 8 am prompt. He showed her to where she would be staying. Sango carried her luggage to the place, and it was much more than she had hoped for. Onigumo asked, "Will you have furniture arriving as well or is this all?"

Sango replied, "All I have is clothes I had lived at home with my parents until now."

Onigumo was pleased telling her, "No worries the place comes furnished anyway." He added "This is the sitting room for guests or when you're off. Next is the bedroom and finally the bathroom."

Sango took it all in the bedroom had a decent sized bed, the bathroom was rather large with a whirlpool tub, and the sitting room was a decent size with a couch and TV. Onigumo sat in the chair as she sat on the sofa. He gave her a binder saying, "Everything you need to know is in the book from my favorite meals to how I like my home kept. You will start Monday morning between now and then I expect you to read this thoroughly."

Sango smiled she was relieved that she'd have time to learn the job before starting. She asked, "Could I get a tour of your large home I'd hate to get lost while doing my job."

Onigumo nodded getting up and leading the way giving Sango a full tour of the home. It was still in good condition from the thorough house cleaning he had done. It would be reasonably messy by the time she started Monday. He stopped where there was some damage stating, "I will be having repair work and decorating done. I will let you meet those working in the home and if you have any issues with them don't hesitate to call."

Sango nodded she was grateful that if she felt uncomfortable, he'd take her concerns into consideration. He led her back to her quarters to allow her time to read the binder and settle in.

Onigumo had everything all set up, and the bracelets had just arrived in his office. Now he needed his man on the inside to come collect them and get them on Naomi. He picked up the phone, dialed and waited for an answer when he got it he said, "Riolu it is time you repaid your debt to me come to my office now."

Riolu hung up the phone and raced to Onigumo's office he wished to be out of the man's debt. He walked into the office asking,"What do you need me to do sir?"

Onigumo smiled and handed him the bracelets saying, "You will put these on Naomi and then take her to the address written on the card. Once she's been dropped off there, you will leave and say nothing. You will never hear from me again, but I would suggest you gain new employment after you have completed the task."

Riolu hung his head taking the bracelet's saying, "I will give them to her tomorrow he is leaving on a business trip in the morning. She won't question the gift if I give it to her after I take him to the airport."

Onigumo nodded replying, "Acceptable terms Riolu and when you're done we don't know each other."

Riolu left feeling incredibly low he was about to betray a longtime friend, but he was honor bound to do as asked. He hoped that somehow Lady Naomi would forgive him and better yet that he would forgive himself for what he had done. Riolu returned home and went around like everything was fine. He took Lord Sesshomaru to the airport and returned without a single issue. He made his way into the house and Lady Naomi. He stopped and Said, "Lord Sesshomaru asked me to give you this." He had a letter the demon lord had asked him to give her so that it wouldn't be a lie.

She took the bracelets from Riolu and put them on as she watched Mika head off to school. As Mika was leaving Naomi noticed it was a little tight and went to remove them. When they wouldn't come off, she knew she had been tricked, but she wanted Mika safely away from home first. As she waved watching the car drive off, she called out, "Jaken!"

Jaken came running to her asking, "What do you need my Lady?"

She bent down to ear level of the Kappa whispering softly, "I need you to start a code red as soon as I leave."

Riolu came over to the two saying, "My Lady it seems Kagome is having car trouble and asks you to come to her aid."

Naomi stood up nodded Jaken's eyes widened as he looked between the two saying, "Don't worry Lady Naomi I will make sure everyone stays in line while you're gone."

Naomi smiled she knew Jaken understood as she made her way to the car and sat quietly next to Riolu as they pulled out of the driveway. Jaken scrambled picking up the phone and calling Touga. When he answered the phone Jaken all but yelled, "Naomi asked me to call a code red. Riolu has just taken her to get Kagome at least that is what he said."

Touga growled saying, "Jaken put the house on lockdown no one is to enter except for family is that understood." Jaken replied, "Yes sir I will right away."

Upon hanging up the phone, he pressed the intercom saying, "The house is on lock down until further notice. No one but family is to enter, or you will answer to Lord Sesshomaru." As soon as he let go of the intercom, he dialed Lord Sesshomaru's emergency number for the private jet. As soon as Sesshomaru answered Jaken said, "I am sorry my lord, but Naomi has called a code red she is out with Riolu supposedly to get Kagome. I have already informed your sire but felt you should know as well."

Sesshomaru growled Riolu was one of his most trusted men one of the few he'd trust with his mate. Sesshomaru yelled out, "Turn the plane around there is a family emergency." Sesshomaru started calling all his clients apologizing while telling them that there was a family emergency and he'd have to reschedule.
