As Touma Igarashi, known in Japan for making a living from his grandmother's wealth. But he also makes extra from his job as a online freelance programmer. He is either constantly working throughout the week, gaming on the weekends, making videos online or trying to catch up with worldly things along with some old friends. Sadly most have used him for his money then anything like friendship.

Anyways as he's looking for a maid but he's had very little luck in that department, because no one does anythings the way he wants. He's a little picky in the way he'd want things to be done as well as having control over what he wants is a little controlling that most people can't tolerate. Till he found an add in the paper and online as well, saying the same thing.

It reads "Looking for a Butler? I am yours. Misuragi Kaisu, at your service. I have done babysitting to clean for a whole house hold of eight. Driving, delivery as well as protected them when needed. Nothing is too large of a request for a Butler to not fulfil. You can get ahold of me by-"

He looked rather impressed by what was written. "Very straight forward, I'll have to look him up", he commented to himself as he typed in a website to do a background check. Looking through the records didn't take long. "Very impressive, I like the way he talk about their work. His understanding of what the individual needs is a great plus. Very loyal to the house hold she serves under." He rereads what he just said aloud of what it had written. "She? A female butler? Aren't those usually housekeepers or maids?"

He got interested in the idea and read more about what female butlers there have been at all if not recently. He liked the idea of it. So, as he spent so much time looking at stuff like this because he has ADHD that didn't realize the time. 10pm. He looked down as he had wasted so much time that he looked at the paper and gave it a call anyways.

There was no answer right away till a slight noise came over the phone. "Yes? How may I help you", a pleasant young female voice asked him.

"This is Misuragi Kaisu, right?"

"Yes, this is she, who might this be", she asked back.

"My name is Igarashi Touma. I am looking for a woman of your stature as a butler. And I would like to interview you as soon as possible", he was trying to not sound impatient but wanted to implore her to come. It wasn't really that he needs someone fancy, he doesn't like being alone for one. Especially with how people just left him behind and weren't really friends to begin with but he really doesn't like to clean up behind himself. He's a bit selfish and lazy like that.

There was silence for a moment till she sighed. "Well, Mr. Igarashi, I have no problem with an interview but what time would be better for you. I usually am up at 6 or 7 am. But depending on if I meet your standards, I'll be happy to adjust my sleep schedule for you. Does tomorrow sound good? "

"Yes, tomorrow is fantastic. 9 or 10 am works for me. It's when I usually get up anyways."

"Alright, 10 am it is. I'll see you then. Good night and good bye, Mr. Igarashi", she sounded very prompt and calm as she ended the phone call with him. He was still stunned with her calm voice. The only sad thing he couldn't find was a picture of her through almost any records. He decided before going to bed to see if she might have a facebook or anything else out there. Nothing came up except for a few married women outside of Japan as well as a couple women who have been dead for a few years now. Obviously not her.

So he gave up for the night and gamed with a few online 'friends'. At almost 2 am he passes out on his bed and sets an alarm for 9 am.

Once morning came for Touma, he got up, took a shower and tried to slick his red hair back and got dressed. It spiked in the back like it was done on purpose but most times its an accident for him. Wearing his black stripped jeans with ripped knees, an Overwatch shirt with a black suit jacket over it. His shoes are designer white Pumas.

As he left the door unlocked for her after she paged him from the front desk, he eyed the door. Waiting patiently for her to come to his condo. When she entered, she shook hands and was very pleasant to look at as well to hear. Her black raven hair was hanging there on her shoulder and back as she stared at him with her silver eyes. Her suit looked rather impressive. An indigo tie that somewhat reminds him of the way Alucard and Integra from Hellsing looks but the butler outfit looked almost nothing like the one he's seen. Nothing close to a Black Butler Sebastian outfit which made Touma liked that she was original.

Her black fitted, peak lapel on her double breasted two button bolero shrug jacket which was so slimming to her body shape that it made her vest stand out more. Only the bottons on the top were undone, showing of her cream white dress shirt of her jacket. Two buttons on each end of her jacket, making them spaced looked classy to him. Her grey peak lapel vest matched her jacket but it was longer towards the back, reminding him more of a butler but it was a short tailcoat style for a waistcoat. It has two or three bottons showing under her jacket, lined underneath with a dark violet with a flip pocket on both sides of her vest. Her black dress pants stopped above her dark brown Oxford style flat shoes.

They talked for several minutes till he was satisfied with what she answered him. "I have only a few more questions especially with me only just meeting you. Do you have any questions for me?"

"Actually yes, but I'd like you to go first because you might have the same questions", she said as  she sat there across from him.

He cleared his throat and looked to her, staring her silver eyes with his brown. "First, why become a butler? Don't you have more desire to be something else?"

"I am quite happy being able to do what I have done. I have been like this for a long time. Even trained when I was under a few families who taught me more about trust and how being a butler can bring pleasure to mine and others lives. It's always a pleasure to serve someone else", her eyes studied me rather well, "What is it that you desire, Mr. Igarashi?"

He was stunned with her motivation being family when all his family all dealt with money and never really bothered with him. But he liked the way she carried herself. "I desire to not be alone and live with dignity to not be used by others but to honestly live the way I truly want. My next question is would you be willing to stay for a full week to see if I would like to fully hire you on? I do have a nephew, that I sometimes babysit, who will be over this weekend but I want to make sure you aren't going to being a problem."

"No problem at all, I am happy to help if you need my help with anything. May I ask my question?"

"You may. But why ask though when you knew you could to being with, why ask permission", he asked curious, not really sure why she asked.

"Because as a Butler I know my place in the presence of someone whom I serve. So asking for permission is only natural for me", she answers as she gets up and knees before me. "For the next week, I'd like you to call me by a name you give me as well as tell me what name you want me to call you. But if you do hire me fully on, I have one request. That we have our own names we call each other so if there's ever anything emergency, only we will know these names." Her calm demeanor was empowering to him, almost drawing him closer to her. She is very straight forward and strong.

I gesture her to stand up as I answer, "That sounds fine, I'll call you Kai. It's short and easy to call right away. As for what you can call me, how about my name or Lord in front of others. As for what we shall call each, I'll call you Servant and you'll call me Master. Sounds good?" He grinned when he said 'Master', hoping she wouldn't be offended by the names he chose. 

She nodded and placed her left hand over her chest as she lowered her to him, "Yes, My Master."
