Chapter One - Portals and Concoctions
DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN SEBASTIAN, REMILIA, SAKUYA, BLACK BUTLER, TOUHOU, OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS OR . ALL RIGHTS GO TO PROPER OWNERS.
Remilia stretched out her limbs with a great yawn as she groggily climbed out of bed and walked to the window. It was a beautiful night with a full moon and not a cloud to be seen. She called for her maid and within moments Sakuya was by her side. One of the many advantages of having a time controlling maid was that she could slow down time to arrive quickly. The maid removed Remilia's nightgown and pulled one of the many dresses from the closet.
"Mistress, would you like to wear this?" She asked.
"Yes, that will do fine Sakuya." She replied.
Sakuya slipped the dress over Remilia's head, careful not to hurt the fabric or her wings when doing so. She buttoned up the back which had holes for the wings, and then began finessing the bows.
"What would you like for breakfast?" She asked, even though by human standards, it was already far past dinnertime.
"Oh, the usual." Remilia replied casually.
Sakuya nodded and brought a pair of socks as well as shoes and put them on her feet. Then she took the hairbrush from the dresser and began brushing Remilia's hair. When Remilia was finally ready she thanked her maid.
"That will be all Sakuya."
Sakuya bowed, slipped out of the room and headed downstairs to the kitchen to start breakfast. Remilia was about to go downstairs herself when her room started to move. It swirled around as Remilia found herself being sucked into something that she knew was not normal, something that could only be one of Yukari's portals. She dropped down into the hole and looked up to see two bows tying themselves together to seal the portal.
Brilliant colors swirled around her and she dropped into the unknown. The tunnel went up and down and sideways and diagonally and any other direction possible. Finally the path straightened out and she dropped down into a large area that was nothing but a vast sea of colors. There seemed to be no end to the nothingness that surrounded her. To her relief a pocket opened nearby and her elegant maid tumbled gracefully from it. The hole zipped shut and disappeared.
"Oh good Sakuya, I'm pleased to see that I am not alone." She said as they fell further.
Sakuya nodded and used her arms to drag herself towards her mistress, almost as if she were swimming.
"I'll have to give Yukari a long talk about this when we return to Gensokyo." Remilia said in an irritated tone.
"Well I certainly hope we return soon, for the garden will become overwhelmed with weeds if it is unattended." Sakuya commented.
They waited silently and soon a small speck of light shown below them. It grew larger and the air became cooler as they neared the exit. Sakuya noticed that Remilia's skin was flaking and she pulled a small bottle out of her apron pocket. It was a special concoction Eirin had made for the Scarlet sisters, though Flandre never had much need for it. It would protect their delicate skin from the sun, as well as make their wings invisible to human eyes.
"Here mistress." She said and popped off the lid.
They both worked quickly to rub the ointment onto her exposed skin and onto her bat-like wings. Remilia nodded her head in thanks and offered her hand to the maid. Sakuya clutched her mistress's hand and braced herself for the world they were about to enter. They both lifted their arms to guard their eyes against the bright light. Gently they floated down onto the ground. The moment they landed Sakuya felt the unique presence of someone she had hoped she would never have to face again.
A shiver crept up her spine as she realized who she would meet.
'Oh no.' She thought to herself. 'Sebastian!'
A.N. - Yay I posted the first chapter! :D From the moment I was introduced to Black Butler my first thought was that there needs to be a fan-fic with Sakuya and Sebastian. I mean, they're both powerful, both servants to royals, and both seem to have a passion for throwing knives, so there was no way I would let an opportunity like this go to waste. Thank you for reading, I'll try to update as much as possible but I can't make any promises. Any comments and suggestions would be much appreciated, positive criticism is helpful too. Please no negative comments though, if you don't like the story don't tell me just go read something else. Anyone who wants to help edit is welcome to do so, notify me via PM. I hope you are all happy and now I'll stop before this note becomes longer than the chapter.
