"Lord Marren, Lord Luis. We enjoy your visiting for today. Lady Valorie and the others are in the Banquet Hall, getting ready." I bowed to their entrance as I took Luis's and his father's coats and hats. "Ah, yes. We hope today will be as good as any day for....hunting pheasants." Nick Marren, Luis's father, said as his voice boomed with authority and well-structured phrasing.
I hung their coats and hats along with the others as Hiromi led them away. I looked around, making sure no one else is arriving, as I slip behind the hidden door towards the servant's quarters. Surprisingly, Valorie was sitting down there in my room, in her trousers and blouse. I was surprised that she slipped away so quietly from her guests.
"What is it, Mistress?" I bowed to her, as she stood up and smiled at me. "My, my Mofe. Your so up-tight today, it's unnatural." I chuckled lightly at that. "Sorry Milady. Just there's so many men in the house, and boys your age, that it's being a crick in the neck. They make me worry over you. What if something happens while your out hunting, the only female?" I grabbed her hands and looked at her.
"Tell me honestly that you will be alright." She looks me in the eye with a grim face, and shakes her head. Then her eyes light up. "Well then..." A grin spreads across her face. "Maybe then some accompaniment? Mofe Michaelis, I order you to enjoy a day of hunting with us." She says, stern-faced then smiles, grasping my hands and giggling like a child.
I smiled at her. "If you insist."

"Blaze, your in charge for now. Let us hope you have the schedule remembered and the tea I was going to make today after hunting?" He nodded as I smiled and handed him the list. I pat his shoulder once I saw the littlest doubt on his face. "You'll do fine, my darling. Just relax, and shake it all off." I chuckled, as he grinned.
"Now remember, your a one hell of a chef, not a shy giggling girl. Be sturdy, and hold your head high." He laughed at that as I left the kitchen, walking into the banquet room and standing side by side with Valorie. I know it seems unrighteous to do that, a maid next to her master, but she ordered me to act natural, like family.
The guests that speak to her look at me oddly but shrug it off. "La- I mean, Valorie, isn't it such a nice day to be out and about like this?" I asked cheerfully, smiling at her and tugging at my vest. Valorie gave me a change of clothes for today because of this and I'm still not quite used to trousers yet.
Worst part is, she strictly said no corset, and I love that breath-stealing thing. Though I guess just one day without the bondaged clothing is quite..... nice. "It is indeed, Mofe. I love the weather. There's probably many pheasants out there for the taking." She nodded, looking me up and down in approval.
Since I cut my hair again, she insisted on putting it in a braided bun with a white flower dyed partly red. Even going as far as curling part of my hair and covering my eye without the symbol. "Ah. I can't wait for it." I replied casually, trying this language without cringing. It's unnatural, but I was ordered.
And orders must not be denied.
---------
"This. Is. Crazy." I eyeballed her as she bowed, embarrassed. I crossed my arms and stood my ground as the crazy 'dog' tried licking my face off. "We are not using him Valorie. We mustn't. Not around humans." She clapped her hands and bowed in forgiveness. "We have no options left Mofe. He's our only option." I groaned, giving up as I kneeled down to him.
"Pluto. Your objective today is to find pheasants. Attack nothing but those." I said sternly, as he nodded in dog-like form. I'm guessing Valorie told him that abnormally large dogs are not what people own.
"Ok, now..." I helped Valorie on her horse and hitched onto my own.
"Let's go!" And he ran off, barking as we followed close behind.
---------
"Pluuuutttoooo~ Damn dog, WHERE ARE YOU?!" I yelled, a drip of rain landing on my nose as I grumbled. Yeah, Pluto was being an idiot and ran off. After the hunt. Probably thought he was still looking for pheasants.
I heard a whimper and a small bark as I turned around a large spruce tree just to narrowly avoid a foot. Pluto was sitting in front of me, in human form, licking at the face of a unconscious being. Pluto looked at me as the eyes of the being flickered. I might be imagining things but I think I see a lot of blood on this person.
I shook Pluto's hair, as he licked my wrist in worry. "Good work Pluto. You'll get a steak for your work." I said soothingly, grabbing the arm of the person and hauling them over my back. Luckily all the guests have gone home so they won't flip out.
Except for Luis.

???'s POV
I woke up jarringly to a comfortable bed and sore all over. "Your awake, that's good then." I turned my head slightly to look at a girl, no woman, in a black maid's suit and blazingly white hair, the same color as mine. Her eyes were frightening the most. One is blue and the other is red.
She looked gentle, nice, and kind. She helped me sit up as a glass of water was in her hand. I gulped it down feverishly while she continued talking. "You have sustained minor but critical injuries. Two broken ribs, a pulled hamstring, a injured arm, partly slit throat, and a little concussion. Might you have any relatives that I need speaking to for your....condition?"
I shook my head as I spoke.

Mofe's POV
His voice was low and rough, like he had been yelling for hours and very dehydrated.
"I am sure you are already aware of what I am, are you not? Your a demon, so am I." I nodded, as his eyes widened, the dull gray sparking slightly. "Why didn't you just leave me to die then?" He asked as I stood up and looked out the window, my hands behind my back. "Because I am simply not going to leave someone out to die. Whether you are a demon or not..." I glared at him, my face stern, "I am not going to sink as low as that."
"So....you've met several like me?" He asked, wincing as he shifted in the bed. Looking at how his injuries haven't healed quick enough, he hasn't eaten a soul in a few hundred, maybe thousand, years.
"Indeed, that is the case. Other then you, my master, and Pluto, no one else in this house knows about me being a demon, so if you ever want to ask any questions, please don't go running down the hall spouting out whatever, or else I will call the Shinigami to pick up a unidentified....being." I spoke lowly, as he gave me a questioning look.
"If you must know, I am not automatically kicking you out unless it is desired, like attacking the staff or anything. But, hurry up. My master requested to see you once you had awoken with a clear head. I shall wait outside for you. Clothes are on the dresser." I stepped out of the room and shut the door as I heard him scrambling around.
Good, he's not a rebellious little devil.
This'll be easier then expected.
