Taming Ayame

 

 

 

 

 

Jaken looked stern and extremely un-happy when he came to fetch her the next day. "I cannot believe Lord Sesshomaru is making me baby sit this she Wolf-Demon!" he complained, speaking about her while she was still standing there. 

 

Ayame cracked her knuckles, staring down at him. Jaken gulped, hurrying down the hall. He escorted her down two sets of stairs and three hall ways. This palace was the size of a small country, she was sure of it. Jaken then walked into a room that smelled like amazing food. She was really hungry. Her wolves behind her whined, being inside was really throwing them off. In fact, it was messing with her too. "Here's the kitchen, this is where the servants eat", Jaken explained.

 

Scurrying off, he yelled over his shoulder, "Ask the cook where the cleaning supplies are."

 

Then he was gone. She looked around the kitchen. It was huge, like everything else in the castle. Pots were boiling, food was frying on skillets, but there was no cook to be seen. She scratched her nose, staring around. She was really hungry, and so were her wolves. Where the FUCK was the person who was supposed to feed them??

 

"Uhhh, hello?", she began to wander.

 

She found a door and opened it, 'Well, now I know where TONS of pots of pans are'. Closing that door, she opened another door, it must have been the food storage. There stood a large, but elderly Dog-Demon, chugging a bottle of saki. Ayame cleared her throat, "Hello"

 

He jumped, almost spilling the saki all over himself. "Um, hello there young lady, how can I help you?"

 

"Well, first of all", she held up one finger, "where would my wolves and I find something to eat, and second", she held up a second finger,  "Jaken told me to ask the cook where the cleaning the supplies are."

 

He shoved his saki behind a bag of flour, "I think first of all, introductions are in order! I'm Satoru, the cook."

 

He bowed. "Ayame, the new maid", she pointed to each wolf, "Kilana, Kuito, and Kavati."

 

"Are they new maids as well?"

 

Ayame laughed, "If they were, I doubt anything would get cleaned."

 

Satoru smiled at her. He had a very kind smile for a demon. Maybe it was because he was elderly. "I suppose they like their steak raw and large?"

 

"Uh yes. And they're VERY hungry."

 

"Well, you and your wolves go sit down and I'll bring all of you something to eat", he winked.

 

They all sat down and waited. Kavati whined. "Shhh! He's bringing it! Be patient!"

 

Satoru came out of the food storage with three large plates of steaks, raw, just how they liked it. He set them in front of each wolf. They looked down at the plates and then up at the sky, Ayame was sure they thought they were in heaven. Ayame's stomach grumbled as she watched them dig into their steaks. 

 

The cook was moving from each pot to another, picking items out each of them and placing it on a plate. Every time he removed a lid, a huge steam cloud would surround him. After he had gone through the whole line of pots, it was like a steam room. Strolling out of the steam, he placed the plate in front of Ayame with a triumphant look. "They ya go, Ayame! Cooks special!"

 

He wasn't kidding when he said special. The plate was loaded to the edges, filled with dumplings, rice balls, chicken, beef, fish... this plate alone could be five meals. She thanked Satoru and dug in. Everything was amazingly delicious. She couldn't remember the last time she had a well cooked meal. She thought back on the left over rabbit stew that she always was given at the wolf camp. Maybe living at Sesshomaru's palace wouldn't be too bad.

 

When she was done eating, Satoru showed her to a small closet that was by the food storage room. It was filled with any cleaning supply that you would need. "Here you go, love. Sorry there isn't a palace keeper to show you around. Lord Sesshomaru is an... extremely hard person to work with."

 

She nodded, "I know. Thanks Saroru."

 

He smiled, leaving her to it. Ayame stared at the closet. She had no idea where to start. Ayame hadn't cleaned a day in her life, considering the fact that she had lived outside her whole life. She picked up a feather duster. She had seen one of the maids using one earlier. It was used to do the same thing she had used her cloak for the day before. It seemed safe enough. She turned and looked at her wolves. They needed somewhere to run and roam. Being inside would make them crazy. "Um, Satoru. Do you think it would be alright if my wolves roamed the palace grounds?"

 

Satoru shrugged. "Lord Sesshomaru has already told palace staff to leave them alone if they see them."

 

"Oh?"

 

Satoru put a pot on the stove and turned to her, "Yes. He also warned that everyone should show utter most respect to you."

 

Ayame's eyes widened, and here she was thinking that he was just out to make her a laughing stock of the kingdom by making her a maid. "Alright then."

 

"I'm not sure what's going on between you two. And I have no clue why Lord Sesshomaru is making his mate a maid, but I know he would want no harm to come to you or your wolves", Satoru said.

 

"You know we're mated? How can you tell?"

 

"An older demon, such as me, and as I am familiar with Lord Sesshomaru's scent, I am able to tell. A younger demon would only be able to tell that you're mated. And of course a human would just smell you", He explained.

 

"Oh, I was wondering how that worked... I'm not really familar with mating and it's details...", Ayame blushed.

 

Satoru gave her an odd look, "I see."

 

Ayame cleared her throat, "Anyway... I should probably go.. dust... things."

 

Satoru chuckled, shaking his head, going back to cooking.

 

Sending her wolves off to look around, Ayame went off to find things to dust.

 

'This is bullshit. If he wanted me to stay here, why didn't he just take me as a prisoner? Why do I have to clean?', she complained to herself.

She began to casually dust a tall statue of a god like being. He was in a pose ready to attack, his weapon was a thunder bolt. She peered up at his face, on top of his nose was extremely dusty.

 

"Well.. that can't do. He might sneeze", she stated.

 

Ayame climbed up on the square stone pedestal the statue stood on, reaching up with the duster she dusted off his nose. She nodded with approval. Then she noticed that the top of his head was CAKED with dust. She frowned, did no one else dust around here? She shook her head, standing on her tippy toes. Stretching as far as she could, she ran the feather duster over the statues head. A cloud of dust fell over her, she probably could of planned this better. "Crap", Ayame felt a tickle in her nose, and then she sneezed. 

 

"Eeep!"

 

The power of the sneeze caused her to lose her balance, and Ayame fell backward. She hoped that the floor was soft. Instead of hitting the floor she fell into someone's arms. 'Figures Sesshomaru would be watching me', Ayame thought to herself as she rubbed dust out of her eyes. This dusting business was dangerous! "Are you alright?", said a husky male voice that was most definitly NOT Sesshomaru's.

 

Ayame stared up at her rescuers face. Amazing crystal blue eyes stared back at her. Ayame thought Kouga's eyes were to die for... by these... these eyes were so meant to be licked. "Um. Um. Yes! Yes, I'm great. Fantastic even! Th-thank you for catching me", she blushed, she sounded so stupid and nervous! 

 

The blue-eyed demon chuckled, "No worries, always glad to help a fellow Wolf-Demon."

 

'A Wolf-Demon? Here? What a relief!', Ayame thought.

 

Placing her on her feet, he smiled. Oh gawd... that smile made her wet. Ayame frowned, 'Geezz I'm horny.' But how could she not be extremely horny for this male. He was around 6'5ft and buff with a handsome face to match his gorgeous blue eyes. His hair was a dark brown and short, much like Miroku's hair style. Kouga could go screw himself, she had found a sexier Wolf-Demon.

 

He rubbed the back of his neck, still smiling, "It's actually nice to see another Wolf-Demon around here. I was getting sick of looking at Dog faces."

She giggle, and was extremely impressed he had the balls to say that out loud. "Well, never fear! You're fellow Wolf-Demon is here. I'm Ayame, by the way", why did she say that? It sounded so stupid and cheesy!

 

"A very attractive fellow Wolf-Demon at that", he winked, "Takumi, at your service."

 

He bowed, grinning. 'Oh the places I want you to service...', she thought. Takumi's grinned dropped suddenly when he looked over her shoulder. He bowed again, "Lord Sesshomaru."

 

'Well crap... I was just about to ravage him too' Ayame complained in her head as she turned to face him. "My Lord."

 

Ayame refused to bow to this asshole. Sesshomaru stared her down, "Shouldn't you be dusting something, maid?"

 

"Yes, My lord", she said bitterly.

 

Ayame could tell that he was amused by his dancing golden eyes. He strode past Takumi without a word. Ayame began to dust the crotch of the Lightning God statue. When Sesshomaru was out of sight, Takumi turned to her, his grin back in place. "Speaking of Dog-faces..."

 

Ayame laughed, "King Dog-Face himself."

 

Takumi laughed with her, "You certainly are the most interesting maid in this palace."

 

She snorted, "Probably the worst maid though. What do you do?"

 

Takumi puffed out his chest, as if he needed to, he was already huge and muscular. "I'm a senior guard."

 

"Oh, impressive", she grinned, "Also a professional maid catcher?"

 

"Of course. Of course."

 

He glanced around cautiously, "I better continue my patrol before I get demoted to a maid. Though...", he glanced at the crotch of the statue she was still dusting, "...I think I might do better then you."

 

Ayame blushed bright red, pulling the duster away from the statue's now very clean penis. "I try to make my cleaning more personal", she said, sticking her tongue out.

 

He smirked, strolling by her, "Better watch that tongue. I might bite it."

 

With a parting wink, he continued on with his patrol. Ayame was positive she was in love.
