The Crow and The Cat

Time To Meet My Master

A.N.-Quick thing sorry its taking a while I was in Washington DC for a week and now i am now going to Frankenmuth (a tourist spot in Michigan) with some friends for the weekend. My entire next week is open though . so I will work on things then.

A.N.-(Again Really!?)Yes. The picture is of the night gown Cynthia is wearing.

****Cynthia P.O.V.

I awoke to the sound of a crash in a very elaborate room wearing a black, short night dress. Bandages were wrapped around my shoulder, wrist, and stomach-which were mildly hurting, but not enough to incapacitate me. I crept out the door in my cat form.

I walked down a hall and was about to round a corner when I heard two voices. The same two voices from before I passed out, and they were getting closer.

The smooth voice from before spoke, "While I was bandaging up the woman I discovered that she has cat ears and a tail."

The childlike voice spoke," Interesting, let us go meet this cat then, but keep her far away. I might be allergic to her. Was one of the reasons you brought her here was because she is a cat-girl?"

"Yes."

"Hairball addled dolt"

Where do I hide? I did not know where to go, the hall my room was in was a dead end. I ran back to my room and hid under the bed. I wish I had my daggers.

The door opened. "Sebastian, where is this neko?"

"Still in this room I can sense her"

"Then find her would you" the younger one sighed, impatient.

I heard foot steps walk to where the closet was. " Not in here my lord."

He then came towards the bed. I saw familiar red eyes and then a white gloved hand reaches and grabs my scruff.

Next thing I know I was being dragged out from under the bed and bloody hell did it hurt! (Cynthia is a large serval-sized cat... like a twenty-five pounds, three feet long-not including the tail) He was gripping tightly enough that that I couldn't squirm at all. He also held a butter knife to my throat.

The boy mused,"Odd, this cat does not make me have to sneeze. You can put her down, but just make sure she does not run."

The butler set me down, and I shifted into my into my human form surprising the two men. "My name is Ciel Phantomhive. The-"

I cut the Ciel off," Phantomhive? As in The Queen's Watch Dog? Great, just what I needed. Sorry I stole from you and all, but could I just leave. I think I have some where to be in a few minutes...."

"Sorry that won't happen. My butler brought you here for a few reasons. One of them being was because look like you are half cat. He is not elaborating about how. The second reason is because you are supposedly good at combat. We will have to test this, Tomorrow through it is rather late right now. How do You feel about being a maid at the Phantomhive Manor? You will get three meals a day, money, and a place to sleep. All I ask in return is your loyalty, protection, and to help out with the duties of the manor."

"The offer is Intriguing. Why not," I shrugged.

"Good then. You will start in the morning. As of now you are.... what is your name miss?"

"Cynthia Ayn Silver, my lord," I slightly inclined my head.

"I suppose Sebastian shall give you a quick tour of the manor, but you will meet the others tomorrow." Sebastian led me out the door.

**********

Sebastian showed me all the rooms, but appeared to be avoiding something. He was now leading me to my room- the room i woke up in-when we heard a crash. Sebastian swore under his breath. A red haired girl came stumbling up to Sebastian with dishes in her hands and the fell on him. He stopped her from falling and like magic, caught all the dishes. "I am sorry Mr. Sebastian, yes I am. I was walking down the hall when I tripped and broke most of the dishes, then i picked up the ones that were okay. I then tripped onto you." The redhead blushed bright red and had a little nosebleed.

After a moment of her being oblivious to my existence, she looked at me. "Who are you?" the redhead asked.

"Cynthia, the new maid. I start tomorrow."

The redhead nodded and went to shake my hand, "Nice to meet you. I'm Mey-rin, yes I am." Sebastian handed her the dishes, and she started to leave.

Sebastian yelled, "You still need to clean this mess up!"

Mey-Rin replied, "Yes sir!"

"I work with idiots," Sebastian mumbled.

I asked him, "That's what it's like everyday?"

"Sadly, yes." he sounded irritated.

I heard another crash and flicked my ears and tail. Sebastian then smirked and looked down at my tail. His demeanor changed, "Let's play a little game, my kitten." He picked me up bridal style and went to his room instead of mine. I turned into my cat form to become smaller and be able to escape easier, but that proved futile. That was apparently what he wanted because he set me on his bed and shut the door. Sebastian pulled out a piece of string.

I gave him an are you kidding me? look and let out a small growl of irritation.

"Please, little kitten?" he asked, stroking my ears. I shook my head.

"If you don't want to play then maybe you want to cuddle." He picked me up and lay me on the side of his chest. He held me in place with his arm so i could not jump off. With his other hand he was petting me on the back and behind the ears, finding all of the good spots.

If I could blush I would have been beat red. I purred loudly, but was angry that he was petting me. Soon, even though irritated I fell asleep in his arms.

*****A.N. Yay! the second chapter and a long one too. My internet is down so I had to borrow a friend's laptop. R and R everyone. Nya!
