The world of Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji

The Demon Hound Pluto

It was about ten o'clock, the sky was already dark and the air was chilly. I walked along the corridor in the Barrymore Castle trying to find Angela. I turned a corner and saw Mey-Rin running away with a nose bleed from a half opened door. I got curious and looked into the slightly opened door. It turned out it was Barrymore snuggling at Angela's perfect pale legs.

"Oops, didn't mean to interrupt." I whispered not loud enough fro Barrymore to hear but enough for Angela to pick up with her supernatural hearing. I went to the living room and sat down on a sofa. I picked up a book lying on the desk and started reading it.

After a bit, Angela walked into the room.

"How was your little... date?" I asked teasingly.

She sat down on the sofa opposite and started dusting her legs at where Barrymore had touched her, "That human, so impure. If not for the Queen's order, I would have killed him long ago. So what was it that you wanted me for, my pure one?"

"I just want to ask about the curse of the demon hound. Is it true? Cuz if it is true i would be quite unsafe here." I was trying to get her to let me in on her plans and I wanted to meet Pluto as well. I figured it would be safe if she introduced me to Pluto.

"Partly, yes." Angela stopped dust her legs and sat up straight.

"What do mean?"

"The demon hound is real. but the 'curse' is fake, a bluff by Barrymore."

"I figured as much." I said nodding, "So the demon hound is real. Am I in danger?"I asked innocently.

"Don't worry, you are safe with me. I'll tell you a thing, if you promise not to tell anyone else."

"Sure, I have no intention of ruining whatever the Queen told you to do anyway."

"That's good. Alright, the demon hound is really my pet."

I pretended to be shocked, "Your pet!?"

"Yes, demon hounds only respect higher beings and will listen to whatever the higher being say. I will not let it harm you."

"Can I like... Meet it it of something?"

Angela thought about it for a second, "Fine." She gestured and I followed her outside into the dark through the back door at the kitchen. We walked around the estate and through a hidden path in the bushes. We walked into the woods behind the estate. I heard barks.

The demon hound suddenly jumped at Angela in joy when he saw her.

"Haha, Pluto, good boy!" Angela said as she stroked it. "This is Pluto, my pet demon hound. He sometimes turn human like he is right now."

I approached Pluto cautiously. He sniffed my hand and tilted his head to the side with a confused expression. He walked around me and sniffed me a couple more times.

"What's he doing?" I asked.

"Pluto is confused by your scent. Your scent is different to everyone who has a soul." Angela answered. She looked into Pluto's eyes and said, "Listen, Pluto. She is a pure being. You must never harm her, you have to obey her and protect her. Do you understand?"

Pluto nodded happily. He ran to me and started licking my hand. I stroked him, "Good boy!"

Angela tuned to me, seemingly serious all of a sudden. "Now you know about this, you must not tell Earl Phantomhive and that butler, other wise you'll ruin my plan."

"As I've already said, I have no reason to tell them. So I won't, don't worry." I reassured her.

She nodded accepting my answer. Pluto ran off somewhere and we headed back to the Barrymore estate.
