The Demon, The Shinigami and The Maid

His Butler: Rejected

"It would seem you are quite fond of the Undertaker my dear." The butler commented snidely watching as she gave him an incredulous look and shrugged his comment off.

"At least he fed me and didn't make me work my poor hands to the bone." She snapped back giving him and annoyed look.

"I still cannot comprehend why you are not afraid of me little maid." He snorted his eyes glowing dangerously.

"I know what you are butler." Was her simple reply as she looked out the window at the changing landscape, "and unfortunately I am not some helpless little woman who is going to let you control her, I can use that gun in the closet just as efficiently as it's previous... well original owner can." She finished crossing her arms over her chest.

"Pretty, intelligent and talented, yet still rude and abrasive." He snickered earning him a glare.

"Whatever, think what you like, I don't give a fuck." She hissed when the butler quirked a brow and in the blink of an eye had his hand holding her chin forcing her cold gaze to meet his.

"A lady shouldn't let such language defile her lips, it is improper." He commented.

"You seem to forget one thing Sebastian, I'm no lady, I am nothing but a lowly maid, so I will speak how I want." She snapped back dryly while pushing his hands from her face. The butler frowned and shook his head at her words.

Woman of her time were certainly something else, difficult and ill mannered and clearly unashamed by it either, unless they maybe just ended up with an ill tempered one with no manners and the rest behaved, either way Sebastian found it very amusing. He watched her closely as she ignored him. He would have her for himself no matter what he had to do.

It was late afternoon when they reached the estate, yet she didn't help him, she simply vanished like she never existed, until Ciel ordered Sebastian to look for her. When the butler checked the back yard and the stables he noticed that one of the horses were missing along with a saddle, bridle and a crop. Sighing he waited for her knowing she was bound to return as the sun started setting, to his surprise he was correct. He watched as she jumped down from the horse and took off all the gear she had used before she groomed the large animal which had taken a strange liking to her.

"You know the master won't be pleased at you riding his horses when you are meant to be working." He eyed her and the familiar pants she had pulled on and ridden in.

She simply shot the butler a glare as she gave the horse a few carrots while she continued grooming it. "I wasn't told otherwise." She stated simply before stabling the creature for the night and walking past the butler who grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.

"Trivial little creature you are, I think the master wouldn't be pleased if he knew." He smirked, his eyes glinting dangerously.

"I believe he will take great joy in knowing you keep stray cats in your private quarters without his knowledge or permission." She stated back meeting his glare with one of her own. Taken back by her words the butler chuckled darkly.

"You wouldn't dare." He shot her a warning look.

"Oh wouldn't I? Really you're in no position to tell me what I can or can't do Sebastian, so I believe we're equal." She snorted trying to pry her arm from his grip so she could get past him.

"I believe you are in no such position to assume we are even." He pulled her closer watching as her gaze hardened. "Oh stop been so cold towards me little maid girl, you're only making things difficult." He purred watching as she gave him a disgusted look before ripping her arm from his grip and stomping into the kitchen.
