The First Week

******************************************************************* ******************

Kagome Higurashi was not going to take any crap from him, anymore. "No way, no sir!" She told herself, as she marched to his bedroom. He cannot scare her anymore! She stopped in front of his room, and knocked lightly. Here she goes again, cowering at the very presence of her boss. She felt herself tremble when his cold voice called, "Come in."

She shrugged her fear off, and opened the door leading to his large room. He sat on his bed, staring into a mirror. It looked as if she had intruded on a personal moment, and the glare in his eyes lead to an awkward silence. Kagome was lost for words, when he motioned for her to speak her mind. "I…I…" She began to stagger, avoiding looking at her boss's face. He stood up, and walked closely by her.

"Kagome," He said, in the same dull tone, "I'm assuming that you've done everything on the list, considering you're here." She looked up at his face, still avoiding his eyes. She regained her confidence, and began to explain herself.

"Lord Sesshomaru," She said, curtseying him, to show her respect, "I cannot finish all of this by tonight!" She continued waving a long list in the air. He stared at her, with amusement. He loved the way she looked when she curtseyed in that little maid's outfit. He studied her, from her silky, combed hair, to her worried eyes that were darting around aimlessly, to her trembling lips, and down to her shapely legs, and her feet that were nervously tapping.

She noticed his gaze, and immediately looked to the ground. She didn't know how to respond, and she hated when men looked at her like that. She knew that once she left his room, she would be kicking herself in the ass for not quitting, but Sesshomaru was really the scariest person she had ever encountered. His long silver hair flowed evenly down his back and past his waist.

He had a great body. She knew that because she was the one to tend to his house for hours while he went to the gym daily. She now discovered his eyes fixed on her thighs, and she felt herself blush. "Lord Sesshomaru?" She suddenly blurted out, pulling his eyes back to her face, "Like I said, I could never complete this list in a day's work."

She watched his amused expression, as he gazed at her. He knew that she was afraid of him, and he wasn't surprised. Most people were. He was an unusual site compared to most demons. He had sharp fangs and claws, like most, but what really made him different was the crescent moon in the center of his forehead, and the red stripes slashing into his handsome face on either one of his cheeks.

He walked behind her, breathing hot air onto her neck. "Very well." He said, calmly, as his mouth curled into a sly grin. He reached one arm around her, pulling the duster from her sweaty palms. She felt a stinging zap go down her spine every time he breathed some of his hot breath onto her neck. He smiled satisfied to see her hair standing up on end. "Perhaps, you should take a break, for now." He said, moving away from her. She let out a relieved sigh, careful not to let him hear, as he made his way to the now open door. "I'll let you decide what's best for the house." He added, waiting for her to leave his room.

She quickly made her way to the doorway, still fighting goose bumps. She quickly made her way down the stares, as he watched her every move. She felt relieved to break away from his lustful stare as she stumbled down her final steps. She felt extremely dizzy remembering what happened. "So he has given me my way?" She asked herself. She remembered what he had told her. "I'll let you decide what's best for the house." Was that an angry remark? Was he angry at her? Was it supposed to be an act of kindness? Should she be grateful? She sighed one last time… 'or was he just trying to confuse her?' She asked herself annoyed.

If that was his intention, he succeeded. She let herself fall back onto the regal sofa. The soft, velvety material soothed her, as she allowed herself to get lost into the cushioning of the couch, in the guest room. She sometimes like to imaging that she lived here, and owned this beautiful house. She had only been working here for a week, but was still taken back by the true beauty of the house. She also knew that Sesshomaru took pride in his home, which is why her job was very important.

She looked, once again at the list, and rolled her eyes. She did suppose it was possible to complete the chores he assigned her… and it was her job. She pulled herself off of the way too comfortable cushioning exterior of the sofa, and dragged herself to the closet in the pantry. It was quite a walk, but she was used to it. The house owned by the great rich lord of the west was bound to be large, and spacey.

She pulled the chemicals, and rags from the closet, with a gleam of annoyance in her eyes. She stared at the first thing on the list which read 'Clean all of the windows, and anything else with glass' She wanted to make herself a cup of coffee before starting up, but decided not to. She would surprise her boss, and gain his approval.

She made her way into the living room first, cleaning each window. She would first spray each window, and then thoroughly scrub the window clean with her rag. The smell of the chemicals was nauseating, and she had to grasp onto her stomach hoping not to throw up. She continued cleaning the windows in each room, cleaning anything else that may need it as well.

She soon finished her chore, and looked next on the list to see, 'Vacuum and wash each carpet and rug' She let out a tired whimper, and began to walk to the closet in the pantry, again, but was startled by a familiar voice. "So, I see you've decided to go by the list anyway?" Sesshomaru asked, with an eyebrow raised.

She jumped into stance, standing stiffly with her back straight. She smiled at him. "Uh…y-yes." She finally managed to say. She tugged at the end of her little dress nervously, when she saw that Sesshomaru's eyes were wandering once again. "I will be at the gym, downstairs." He told her, "Keep up the good work." He continued. He turned to leave, but she saw him look behind his shoulder at her, just as he said that. With that he left.

She had to admit there was a very attractive side to her boss. She felt herself blush as she imagined him working out. His muscles ripping through his shirt. She wondered what he wore to go work out. Whenever he went he carried his clothes in a gym bag. She felt her face begin to change color again as she pictured him in a muscle shirt and shorts. She giggled to herself. "Well it serves him right!" She told herself, "With the way he looks at my legs, I am entitled to think as many impure thoughts as I want of him!" With that, she went back to that damn list of his.

Hello! Ok, this is my very original fan fic! (or so I hope) I was just thinking about what things would be like if Kagome was Sesshomaru's maid for some reason! Well, I really hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please review ASAP! More chapters, and twists to come later! Please tell me if you think I should give up and stop writing or continue. Next chapter will mostly be from Sesshomaru's POV! What do you think? Should this be love, or hentai, or what?
