The Demon, The Shinigami and The Maid

His Butler: Cunning

Alice sat staring at food as Sebastian served her, she slowly lifted her gaze up to meet his, dropping it instantly when he smirked at her. "Why are you doing this, should you not be serving your own master?" she looked up at him curiously as he set a crystal glass down and a pitcher of wine.

Sebastian smirked, leaning close to her, his gaze dropping to the neck line of her dress. "You tend to do things a lot later than my master does my dear he has already eaten and retired for the evening. Besides he is in very capable hands even without me been present and this was one of his wishes."

Alice swallowed hard, trying not to stare at the butler, opting for some wine to ease the dryness of her mouth. She felt uncomfortable under the intense stare of Sebastian, shifting slightly in her seat she chugged the crystal glasses contents down in one swift motion. Sebastian chuckled yet again as he watched her pour another glass doing the same to its contents.

"You should be careful little maid, not to drink too much before you eat or it may spoil your appetite." He cooed watching as a pink flush started crawling in her cheeks.

"T-This is all very kind of you but I must inquire as to the whereabouts of my own staff?" she set the glass down taking a small bite of her food.

Sebastian gave his sickeningly perfect smirk, tilting his head innocently. "They have been replaced by capable hands that will now no longer look to kill you or turn on you." He watched as her face paled, her bottom lip quivered, the clattering of her fork the only thing that broke the uneasy silence.

"Wait, w-what do you mean they wanted to kill me Sebastian?" to calm her nerves she raised the pitcher to her lips downing the wine as the demon simply chuckled easing the near empty pitcher from her hands.

"Slowly little maid... I would not advise you drink too much wine. The people still seem to believe you're a witch and with all the continued deaths they seem to believe that jack the ripper is still out there and they're pointing fingers at you." He watched her emotions flash through her eyes as she stared up at him. He was cunning and he would use the truth to steal her right from Undertakers arms.

Alice felt slightly faint as she tried to stand up, her body felt strange and warm as she looked up at Sebastian helplessly. So little wine had never had such an effect on her, she was well rested too. Pouting slightly she swayed into Sebastian's arms resting her head against his chest, before trying to look up at him, yet her eyelids felt really heavy when she tried and instead she just stayed as she was until he picked her up bridal style. A low chuckle rumbled through him as she finally looked up at him, a hand gently stroking his cheek as he carried her to her bed room.

She felt very strange as she allowed him to undress her from the black dress she wore. Diligently he helped her into her night dress smiling at how the thin fabric left little to the imagination. Her dinner was all but forgotten as he tucked her in, kissing her hair gently.

It was now or never and Sebastian knew it as he slowly rose and walked toward her door. "Good night my little mai-..." he was cut off when she sat up staring at him, clutching her blankets close to her chest.

"Sebastian...wait." She looked at him pleadingly. "Stay with me tonight, please I really don't want to be alone, especially after what you have told me." She gently patted the spot next to her on the mattress, reaching out her hand towards him.

He smirked, closing her door as he walked back towards her blowing out the candle he held. "As you wish my little maid." she sat blindly trying to find him until she felt pressure hovering over her, only to look up into a set of glowing pink eyes. "I cannot help myself anymore when I am in your presence little maid." he purred lowly leaning down and capturing her lips with his.

To his utter surprise she hadn't pushed him away or tried to move away in anyway, instead she pulled him closer ever so gently and deepened the kiss. He smirked against her lips as he brought her body closer to his pulling loose the front ties of her night dress as the straps slid down her shoulders.

She shivered lightly her hands pressing against his chest, fingertips slightly digging into the fabric of his shirt as she stared at him. "Why do you keep doing this to me Sebastian, I am supposed to be in love with Undertak-..." she found herself cut off yet again by his lips.

"What if I told you there is something bad behind that door would you believe me?" he purred lowly watching as she looked up at him confused.

"What do you mean?" she whispered softly.

"You know what I am, you know what I am capable of, today when I looked at that door the smell of death and decay permeated from behind it, so whatever is behind there is not going to be pleasant at all, that is why the young master wishes to protect you." He stroked her hair, looking at her affectionately.

She shook her head slowly as she stared up at him. "He wouldn't hurt me though..." she mused softly, her fingers playing gently with the ends of his hair.

Sebastian sighed kissing her again, pulling her night dress off slowly as he watched her. "Then let me prove myself to you tonight, how much I love you and how much I want to protect you. Your soul is the perfect trophy, understand this, if he were to keep you forever he would have to hurt you or watch you be hurt." In another swift move his chest was bared to her as his shirt joined her night dress on the floor. She stared in wonder at him; her cheeks burning as she shyly ran her hands over his skin.

Alice stared in wonder, sighing softly as she felt his hands brush over her skin, but something ate at her conscience as she surrendered to Sebastian. It was something she knew she had to remember but couldn't quite place. Lips on her neck silenced her chaotic thoughts as a low moan slipped from her lips. Sebastian smirked against her skin, continuing a burning path down her neck, along her collar bone to her shoulder.

A single skilled roll of his hips and he watched as euphoria washed over her features, before continuing with his rhythm. Sheets tangled with sweat coated skin as breaths and moans mingled well into the early hours of the morning.

Alice slowly woke up to find herself tucked in, rain pounding against her windows as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Frowning in thought she ran a hand through her hair, stifling a small yawn when images of the night before filtered blurrily into her thoughts. Pulling her blankets down she sighed in relief finding she was still dressed, her bed far too neat to have suggested any other kind of activity.

A flash of lightning cut through the morning sky causing her to frown in distaste. The last time she had ridden in this kind of weather she ended up back at the Phantomhive manor. A soft sigh escaped her as she curled up deeper under her covers and fell asleep again.

She wasn't sure what time it was when she came too, a candle lit a corner of her room dimly. Next to her a head of silver hair she would recognize anywhere held her closely. She smiled lazily curling up closer to him, slowly drifting off to sleep when he gave his eerie chuckle.

"Hmm I see someone is finally awake..." he giggled kissing her cheek gently.

Alice smiled gently at him nodding slowly. "I must have dozed off, seems the weather did not change very much during the course of the day." She stretched slightly, kissing him gently.

Undertaker gave his creepy grin pulling her closer. "Let's just stay like this for a little while love, it's nice to be like this with you."

He watched as she settled against him, eyes narrowing at the scent of the demon which was on everything. Even all over his little pet. "So the demon wants to play dirty with my little pet and thinks I won't know what he has done with her, when his filthy stench is all over her. But she would never do anything with him willingly...." Undertaker played gently with the ends of her hair as he plotted revenge on the demon.
