Insanity's Calling My Name ›› Kuroshitsuji

♕ the commoner, a noble

They say that I'm lucky.

A mere commoner taken in by a generous noble.

It's completely unheard of; completely out of the blue.

It's why their gazes linger; their eyes questioning my worth.

They're observing, waiting for me to make a wrong move.

However, they'll have to wait all of eternity.

Because I don't make wrong moves.

"Nobara?"

I ignored the voice coming from across the Manor and kept dwelling on the girl in front of me. She stood tall and proper as her black locks scattered across her back, just a few centimeters away from her slim waist. A black dress clung onto her torso like second-skin causing me to wrinkle up my nose in distaste. Her porcelain face looked flawless, not a speck of filth. My eyes traveled down to her nose, which was small, and blended in perfectly with her soft, somewhat chubby cheeks that held a small tint of pink to them that normally wouldn't be there. Her blood-red lips curled downwards in a frown, mimicking me.

All in all, she looked disgusting - I looked disgusting.

Using the back of my hand, I swiftly wiped away the lipstick, my eyes narrowing at the mirror. I kicked off the black flats, leaving me bare foot while my right hand reached behind my back, searching for the fabric of the sash which was holding the dress on my hips.

"Nobara," Her hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me, "what are you doing?" She was amused; amused by my behavior, by my lies, by me. It sickened me - she sickened me.

"Forcing me to live with you is one thing, dressing me up as though I was some sort of doll is another." I stated calmly, ripping my hand away from her hold. The hatred I felt towards her was evident in my voice, yet she ignored it, simply using her index finger to tuck a strand on my hair behind my ear, a smile on her lips.

"Now, now," She laughed, "I thought you'd be happy with how the maids dressed you." She spun me around, making me face the mirror. We stood in silence for a minute before she muttered, "You're beautiful."

My body went tense as her cold hands rested on my bare shoulders. Her lips parted indicating she had more to say, however I cut her off. I wasn't in the mood for this talk again, "You disgust me."

Stepping away from her hold, watching her hands fall to her side. Her smile disappeared as she pulled her lips into a tight line before she took a step back. Madam Red was hurt by my comment. Good, I thought with a smirk. I wanted to make her furious; I wanted her to so desperately abandon and leave me to do what I pleased. I wasn't apart of her world - a world of glitz and glam.

"We're having guests over." Her tone was sharp, her red eyes narrowing towards me, "Be on your best behavior."

"We're having guests over?" I mimicked, amused before rephrasing, "You're having guests over. I will not take part in this."

Madam Red let out a long sigh, before picking up the black flats and placing them on the table near the bed. She turned away from me, obviously frustrated with my lack of cooperation. It seemed as though I was finally getting underneath her skin.

She turned back facing me, a sadistic smile growing on her red lips. "Well, I guess there is nothing I can do about that." Madam Red turned away, her hand reaching for the door. I couldn't help but frown. With the sort of smile painted on to her lips, Madam Red was up to no good.
