The Demon, The Shinigami and The Maid

His Butler: A Tease...

It was her last day at the Phantomhive Estate as she wondered around through its elegant, silent halls. Portraits hanging on the walls, eyes following her as she passed each one, examining it carefully. Overcome with curiosity, Alice found herself opening, or at least trying to open each and every single door she passed even if she knew what awaited her on the other side.

"And now to see your love set free

You will need the witch's cabin key

Find the lady of the light gone mad with the night

That's how you reshape destiny"

She sang softly as she peeked in another door, pouting when she found nothing of interest. "Well this has just turned up empty." She mused with herself as she walked past the library, lost deep within her own thoughts.

A few feet behind her Sebastian followed her, his lips curled in a wicked smile as he listened to her mumbled rambling about how boring her search was turning out. He chuckled under his breath, not too sure as to what exactly it was she was searching for as she closed the library door with a small huff. "Still such an intriguing individual you are little maid..." his thoughts trailed off as she stood fighting with a door which was locked.

Alice frowned as she turned the elegant door knob, but it wouldn't budge or even rattle. An exasperated sigh slipped from her lips, before she realized she was been watched.

Turning on her heel she found Sebastian watching her, his smug smirk on his lips as he watched her under a calculating gaze.

Crossing her arms she raised an elegant brow, "What on earth are you looking at?" she snapped.

Sebastian chuckled shrugging. "I should ask you a similar question little maid, so care to tell me what you're looking for?" he watched as her eyes widened ever so slightly, her face paling a little as she looked at him, her eyes holding a challenge as she shrugged.

"Really I'd think what I am busy doing has nothing to do with you at all Sebastian." She stated bluntly.

"Ah so you have finally recovered... it is such a pity, had you stayed ill a little longer I could have played a little more with you little maid, though I did miss this side of you, the side that no one can tame. If only I could keep you here away from that man." His smirk widened as he fixed his jacket. "Actually what you are doing has everything to do with me little maid, I still serve my master and run his estate, therefore your snooping around warrants my full attention. You know curiosity in this manor is a dangerous thing." He purred walking closer to her, hand stroking her cheek gently.

Alice flinched back rolling her eyes. "Oh really?" she trailed off pouting in thought. "If I knew any better I'd say you're just following me."

"Touché my dear little maid, now come along, the master sent me to find you since you weren't in your room. He has guests he would like you to meet." He took her wrist tugging her along to the study. "Must you always be as stubborn as a mule?" he growled as she struggled against his grip.

Alice glared at him. "Well you don't have to drag me along with you I'm quite capable of walking on my own." She snapped back managing to free her wrist from his grasp, straightening out her dress and hair for good measure.

Sebastian shook his head opening the door for her motioning for her to enter. Alice sighed frustrated walking into the study slowly. "I believe you asked for me?"

Ciel looked up from his desk, glare set straight on Sebastian, "I did not, I believe Sebastian has made an error, since he knows I have a meeting with suppliers." He shuffled some papers around on his desk looking through them carefully. In one chair sat a woman with caramel skin, her hair held up in pins as she watched Ciel smiling. Next to her sat another women in a red kimono, busy checking her nails boredly.

Alice gave Ciel an apologetic smile as she turned and walked out the study glaring pointedly at Sebastian. "You're an idiot Sebastian." She grumbled as she stomped down the hallway towards the kitchen.

Sebastian trailed behind her laughing. "My, such a temper is such an unattractive feature on a woman." He purred tauntingly watching as she stopped, turning on her heel to face him, anger visible in her eyes as she glared at him, there was no mistaking she was furious with him. "Oh how I love ruffling your feathers little maid, I literally have you in my grasp."

"First you call me a stubborn mule, now you say my temper is unattractive!? The hell is wrong with you Sebastian, you say all that yet last night you were trying to get into my pants..." she trailed off. "Wait I don't remember waking with any on this morning, but that's beside the point! All you do is insult me, yet when I'm ill you try and do things to me when you know I do not want you!" she snapped ranting in front of him like a mad thing, unaware of how he inched his way closer and closer to her.

She only stopped when she looked up finding him towering over her. She blinked up at him confused before she realized she was caught between his arms, her back pressing against the wall. He leaned towards her smirk widening. "You know you are extremely cute when you rant like that little maid, as for your other statement, I was not insinuating that you are a mule nor did I mean to say you are unattractive, as for the doing things to you when your ill..." he trailed off his lips brushing over hers.

Alice pushed him away eyes widening, walking away from him. "What was that for you fool?" she hissed, back facing him.

He chuckled, "Well you said yourself that I never try anything with you when your perfectly healthy little maid, so I'm simply showing you that now, since you're in good health I will try something with you." He smirked as her shoulders started shaking in frustration.

"Well don't you dare do that again!" she yelled at him pushing past him heading to her room so she could pack. "Undertaker I'll be home soon, I'll come see you immediately I have missed you so much." She thought as she sprinted to her room closing the door once she was safely inside thought she knew that would not keep the insufferable butler away from her. Packing her bags was done in a rush as she brushed out her hair tossing her brush in a small bag, all her things that had been fetched for her in a neat, small pile of bags as she waited for Ciel to finish his meeting with the female suppliers. In a twisted way she couldn't wait to be home on her own estate, or even in Undertakers shop spending time with him.
