That night, he returned with Kagura, who was a Maiden for Hire, in front of Kyo's eyes.

Hanako West said, "You called me at a bad time. In fact, we were looking for her, since her last delivery."

Heiji Shaitori groaned, "I don't know why, but we waited about four months for her."

Callie Tsuki shouted, "Hurry! To repair bay!"

She was strolled away, as Kyo Butler was in distraught. He planted his hands on his face and was upset.

"Don't worry," Hanako said, "Once we finished with her, you can continue your services, without ANY memory of this."

"I'm sorry… but I cannot accept this…" he sobbed, "Why did she become one? Why didn't you warn me?"

"ME? You didn't know? Maidens and Butlers sometimes tend to look like anybody, which is confusing, most times, to all people."

She then said, "Listen… It wasn't right to become a Butler to her, but… But maybe I can fix this."

"How come I wasn't aware of this?"

He then asked her, "Miss West, who is this Kagura Sohma imposter?"

Hanako explained the true story:
"That imposter is Model #Z0D11-C, Kagura Model (No relation to Model #K14871, which is another Kagura). She was one of our best Maidens for Hire, created here. She cared for an elderly couple, giving them guaranteed service. She lasted about six months with them, tending to their every whim, even by cooking and cleaning. Her Pleasure Mode was enabled, but not to interfere in their love. She somehow held it for that long, she was feeling broken. Lucky us, for free repairs; and her price was 1,000 Yen (Senior Citizen Discount).
When her services ended, she was to return to HQ, erasing all her memories, learning form others Maidens and Butlers what she learned from her experience. She never returned, however.
We had to search for her, but all we found was a Maiden uniform, tossed in the garbage. It was hers. Kagura Model just became independent, like the other Kagura Model, Tomo Model 2.0, and Eri Model. We gave up, after that, realizing that she may figure it out."

She stated, "But six months… Six months and she is ragged, alone in the world. Once you become working for a user, for about four months or more, and finish, you'd return, fully repaired and fully operational. We cannot do refurbished and used Maidens. Besides, every Maiden and Butler is a rental. Why she was still alive, without recharging, I'll never know…"

Kyo then asked, "So… Why did she create me?"

Hanako turned away and said nothing. She asked, "Perchance maybe I can be happy for you. Shall I erase the instant you had with seeing her again, so it'll be normal again?"

Kyo nodded, "Yes… But it won't do me any good, anymore. I loved her. And whether or not she's a Maiden for Hire, I cannot let her be. I can accept her, only if you erase the whole thing she knew, about her experience with me."

Hanako nodded, "I will. But if this happens again, I want you to call me, before you get so love-worried. I know you love her, because she's a machine, like you, but no way am I letting it end in misery. Miss Sawachika told me that only one Maiden and Butler got wedded!"

"Then… do it to me and her! Let's be a married couple! I want to marry her! Even if we're different…"

"I don't know… It is okay to marry a Maiden and Butler, as long as it is not human. But… But I don't know…"

She then stated, "Okay! You got a deal!"

Kyo smiled and bowed, "Thank you."

But his contentment would end in tragedy. Callie and Heiji returned, feeling upset. Callie couldn't stop crying, as Heiji said, "Miss West, we did all we could… but her memories were erased… completely… except something about a Kyo-Chan."

"WHAT? HOW?" Hanako gasped, "This cannot be happening!"

Callie sobbed, "It gets worse. The Maiden's functions are fading. It won't be long, befo-…"

She wailed, "She'll pass on!"

She cried and blubbered, as Kyo cried, "Kagura Model is dying? NO! I promised to tie the knot with her!"

Heiji asked, "Uh, is he…?"

Hanako remarked, "Long story…"

Kyo then sobbed, "Please… Please fix her…"

He dropped to his knees and was sobbing. Hanako then said in disdain, "Well… All we could do know is erase everything Kyo endured, without knowing. He did annul the service."

Heiji huffed, "So, what should we do now?"

Kyo asked, "What will happen to me?"

"Well… I don't know how to say it, but we are officially erasing your memories, knowing that this may become a burden for you." She said, "After that, we'll have you delivered to your next user. But first, we'll do our monthly scan on you."

She then glared at Heiji and said, "As long as we get it right, right?"

Heiji replied, "I suppose that she'll want you now…"

Hanako said, as Kyo stopped crying, "What do you say? It may be painful, but so be it…"

Kyo said, "So be it… I shan't be in love her, anymore…"

He then requested, "But… Can I, at least, say goodbye to her?"

Callie wept, "Sure…"

Hanako smiled, "Yes. I guess so… Miss Tsuki, would you please?"

"Yes, ma'am."

She escorted Kyo to the repair bay, to see Kagura. Hanako snapped, "Heiji! Why did we get a mistake like that?"

"I got a call from Kagura Sohma, and she was ballistic! It's been four months! Her Kyo Butler hasn't arrived!"

"Man! Father won't like this!"

Heiji grumbled, "Why did I make a mistake? I should've known I picked the wrong one…"

"Uh… It was your fault, mostly. You placed the name of the user, but without the address."

Heiji gulped, as Hanako tapped her foot.

"I am SO SORRY!" He cried.

Hanako cried, "YOU IDIOT! If you weren't in a hurry, Callie would've given you the slip!"

He then cried, "Why didn't she give the receipt to me?"

"She had it in her hands, you moron! And you left, without retrieving it!" She yelled, "Because of you, father could scold me, and maybe I'd lose my job! But the positive side was that Kagura Model #Z0D11-C is recovered, after ten months… and the negative side is… she's dying down."

Heiji groaned, "What should we do?"

Hanako snapped, "For starters, send him back to his address on the slip, and apologize for the very late delivery! After that, you can go back to Kyoto, Mister in a Rush! You're fired!"

Heiji cringed, "I deserved it…"

"Good… As soon as he's done with the memory wipe, do the delivery right, as planned, and come back here for your transfer back to Kyoto! And if you EVER make a mistake again, I'll see to it that you're removed from Maidens for Hire… COMPLETELY! UNDERSTAND?"

"Yes, ma'am…"

Hanako stormed off, as Heiji was upset.

"Aw, man!" He grumbled, "Now I'll have to work with Kazuya again!"

XXXXX

Kyo returned to repair bay, as he saw Kagura, dismantled with just her upper body, intact, covered in a tarp.

She woke up and said, "Kyo-Chan…"

Kyo then sobbed, "I'm sorry that it happened to you."

"Don't be silly, Kyo… I had fun with you. Forget everything that happened now. I'll be back soon, as a Maiden for Hire!"

"Uh… I don't think you should."

"What do you mean?"

"Kagura… How about one final kiss?"

"They're gonna dismantle me, huh?"

"Yes… You could say that."

"Even so," Kagura wept, "So be it… But I still love you, no matter who, or what I am…"

Kyo wept, as well, "I love you… Kagura…"

They kissed. They held each other tight, while kissing for five minutes.

Kagura started to remember everything, as she was fading.

Kagura, wearing her white and green maid outfit, finished her services with the elderly couple. She walked on her way back to the HQ in Tokyo. However, she started to fade in her eyes.

"Oh, no…" she beeped, "Why didn't I have time to recharge?"

She stumbled down and was weakening.

"Energy… I must find energy…" she spoke.

Luckily, someone grabbed her and took her inside. It was Hatori Sohma. He took her inside a small room and plugged her in. She opened her eyes, when she was plugged in.

"Are you okay, Kagura?" He asked, as he brushed the dirt off of her face.

"Thank you so much," she said, "I am ever so grateful."

"You're a Maiden for Hire, right? I've heard good things about you…"

"Yes. But how did you know my name?"

"You remind me of Kagura, one of our family members. You looked like her."

"So, I do… Well, thank you again for recharging me. But I really should be going. I wanted to go back. My services had ended and I must return to my home."

"I suppose so. You must have a low battery, traveling that far."

"We Maidens tend to stay up and going, without any fault, for two days. We use up our battery supply, whenever we do chores. It's hard work, but thank electricity for our blood."

Hatori smiled a bit and thought, "Shigure must've used her. She somehow talked like him."

He asked, "How long will you be fully charged?"

"About twenty minutes more," she said "I won't be long."

"Shall I drive you there?"

"No, I'm fine. My GPS Mode works well. Call it a Maiden App!"

After being fully charged, she was full of life and zest. However, Momiji and Hatsuharu appeared, seeing the Kagura S. Robot.

"Hey, Haru," he asked, "Isn't that Kagura?"

Haru called, "Hey! Kagura! What's with masquerade?"

They waved to her, as Kagura thought, "Why does everybody know my name?"

Momiji then gave her some clothes to try on.

"Yuki thought maybe we'd get you some extra clothes for you. Kyo would be delighted to see you wearing it."

Kagura smiled, "Gee… Thanks."

Haru then asked, "Do you want to try it on? I don't suppose you could. Of course, I can take you home and wear it."

Kagura Maiden blushed, "Oh, no… I think I'll…"

Momiji grabbed her and said, "Come on! Let's go!"

"Wait!" She pleaded.

They left, as the real Kagura walked past them, without knowing.

The Maiden, wearing her clothes, then thought, "This is ridiculous… I don't even know where I am going…"

She started to shake and break down. She collapsed, feeling hurt.

"I… I… can't… make it…" she whispered.

System shutting down… Maiden unit hurt…

She powered down, while on the concrete.

Hours later, Tohru Honda walked by and found the Maiden.

"Huh? Kagura?" She gasped.

She cradled her and asked, "Hey, Kagura? You okay?"

She started up again.

Maiden unit rebooted… Continuing function…

She looked at Tohru and inquired, "Huh? Who are you?"

"Oh, what a relief…" Tohru smiled.

She suffered the "Walk of Pain", just like Tomo Maiden, except it was distraction after disruption that caused her to lose her memories. Her GPS Mode was disabled.

"It's me!" She announced, "Tohru Honda! Kagura… What happened?"

"Kagura?"

Tohru panicked, "Oh, dear! Has Kagura Sohma have amnesia? What should I do?"

She then thought, "I KNOW!"

She took her to her home, where she remained. She laid her down in bed, relaxing her. Tohru then noticed her plug. However, she plugged it in and said, "Oh… Must be one of those vibrating beds. I didn't know Kagura saved up."

Clueless, yes, but Tohru is a bit helpful, even if she didn't know about the Kagura Robot.

"I better call Kyo and tell her what happened today…" she said, "Sleep easy, Kagura, and be safe."

Incidentally, this led to Kagura Maiden taking Kagura Sohma's place, only for four months, prior to the Defective Trio's visit. She enjoyed her time… but…

"I love you… Kyo-Chan…" she whispered.

"I love you, too," Kyo said.

When he stopped, Kagura was gone. She died. Her eyes went black, with her smile remaining.

"No…" he sobbed, "No… Kagura! Kagura!"

As he cried, Callie said, with tears in her eyes, "Sometimes we can save Maidens or Butlers, giving everyone their guaranteed service. But… we cannot salvage all of them."

She carried Kyo away, as he sobbed, "Why? Why did she have to die?"

"She had one user, and lived a full life. For now, we must erase your memories of her and everything else."

She then instructed, "Have Kagura Model Z0D11-C taken away for immediate disassembling. Model #K1TTY is to be under deletion of memory, following routine Trojan Horse scanning."

He was taken away, erased from his memories of the one Maiden, which acted human for ten months of her life, she loved and lost.

Kagura S. Maiden, however, was never seen again.

The following week, the real Kagura got a note from Maidens for Hire in Tokyo, with her Butler inside a huge package:
Dear Kagura Sohma
We apologize for your wait. During your delivery, your new Butler was delivered to the wrong home. However, we at Maidens for Hire will do our power to make it right. Enclosing, we are to give you two months of your Butler for Hire's services, absolutely FREE. Your Butler will be working properly. If any problems, contact our HELP line for FREE repairs.
Once again, we express regret for our late delivery.
From, Hanako West
Employee for Maidens for Hire, Kyoto Branch

Kagura smiled, "It's about time!"

She opened her package and saw Kyo Butler. She was smiling and said, "OH! NOW! NOW I CAN MAKE KYO JEALOUS!"

Here we go again…

Since then, Kagura enjoyed her Butler, for two months. It was the same as the OTHER Kagura (since the story was simply about a girl/boar and her Butler; plus, both the real and late robot Kagura are one in the same… somehow), except there was one fault.

"Madam?" Kyo Butler called, "Where are you? You were acting all dizzy and red. Did you get a fever?"

POOF!

Kagura got sick and turned into a boar. She was covered in her clothes and was flushed red.

Yep. This was "Cursed Kagura". Need we remind you?

"He must not know about me," she sniveled, as she sneezed.

"Huh? What was that?" He gasped.

He found Kagura and held her up.

"Are you lost, little one?" Kyo asked, "You look ill… You have a flushed face and snout."

Kagura blushed, as she wriggled her snout. He hugged her and spoke, "I didn't know you'd be her pet. I shan't let you leave and feel ill. I shall make you my Maiden Special Soup, to make you feel better."

He then said, "You know… the way you feel, so warm, it reminded me of a memory that I may not recover… But… You're very cute. I find Miss Kagura to be very sweet, despite her violent temper. I hope maybe she'll understand how I feel about her."

Kagura sobbed, "Oh… My Kyo… He cares for me…"

He held her small Boar body, and took her to bed. He then smiled, "Rest easy, you little piggy. Kyo, Kagura Sohma's Butler for Hire, is on the job. Happily, our special soup makes everyone, whether human or animal, feel better."

Kagura giggled, whispering, "And when you do, you'd be in for a surprise… Hello, Pleasure Mode~!"

She waited, as Kyo went to the kitchen. She draped the covers over and said, "Well… He may not know about me, since my hug didn't turn me into one… But I'm gonna love this Butler…"

She rested, wiggling her snout again.

"If he knows about my curse, then maybe I can tell him it's a magic trick."

She waited, relishing her new Butler for Hire, Kyo.

The End ~ Thanks for reading!

Kyo then asked, "Uh, Miss Pig, you seemed very talkative, in your condition. Why is that?"

Kagura gasped, "URK!"
