Of Bells and Scales
It's a simple yet unlikely love story that spun out between two circus freaks; a scaly snake whisperer and a girl who was born a cat. Would their love overcome all? Interconnected drabbles!
AU!Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)/CU!InuYasha
(haven't exactly decided on whether if IY should be CU or AU but for now, it's AU.)
Major Pairing: Snake/Kagome
(there will be more pairings later on, including one-sided, or are currently unrevealed at the moment)
Took place only in the manga verison of Kuroshitsuji, far before the Noah Ark Circus arc begins (maybe even before a certain butler came to be?), way before a certain pair come in play-when Snake first joined.
Cat
She eyed him, wondering what that erratic man was up to; as she kneaded her claws into some pillow she stole so to sharpen them. The said man with red head and a skeletal arm was raving about a new potential family member-with how good her hearings were, she still wasn't listening to him, while the others kept their ears open with rapt interests.
"Hey, Cat, did you hear what Joker just said?" The tall, bulky bald man looked down on the strange looking, tall female, who was crouching on an empty barrel, still kneading the victimized cushion. "Hmm?" She looked up, blinking innocently, "Ah, Jumbo…Not really-I lost interest after a while- something about a new member? And I told you to call me Kagome!"
Jumbo stared at her, "So typical." He sighed, "You might want to listen to Joker-because you might not like it, Cat." He ignored her protest on her nickname but she nonetheless obeyed him and paid full attention to their ringleader. She absently bopped a young boy lending against the same barrel she was on, to stop his snickering. A girl wearily shook her head at her partner's pained winces, muttering out about stupid boys and so on.
"So this person we're rescuing is currently in another circus and since we're on a standby for now, we'll go at midnight." Joker shot Kagome a sly smile and the woman clad in black leathers shot her a warning look. Kagome merely blinked, a long sleek black tail twitched at a thought, 'Why do I get a feeling that I'll not like it?'
"You are all dismissed! I'd highly suggested for you gather up what you'll need for the rescue." Joker shooed them out of a huge, private tent. Jumbo and Kagome were the last to leave after the others.
Jumbo sighed, "You didn't catch that part, didn't you?" He felt like pinching the bridge of his nose at her short attention span-then again, she's part cat-if her small, adorable triangle ears, her tail, her ridiculously large black mane-like hair or her strange circular dark-colored furry patches on her visible skin were anything to go by. She's really like a kitten-unable to stay still.
"Tell me already then." Kagome impatiently poked him for his answer.
"This person we supposed to save…was a snake man."
"Oh hell no! You know I don't like them scaly bastards! Count me out!"
Words: 400
A/N: lol-I recalled a story between a cat and a snake, I don't remember what it was, but thus, this short series was born! Beside, I wanted do a unique pairing that hadn't been done yet anyway. The update of this will be pretty erratic-depending on the amount of positive responses received; my attention will be sorely on other stories at this moment.
Oh and see any typo? Report it to me! I strived to improve my writing!
And sorry, but each drabble will be kept short, aiming to be 500 or less, with a zero at the end. Please don't complain about that though, because quite frankly, that was pretty tiring to deal with from my other drabbles. I'll not change my mind just because you said so. There-I have to get that out of my chest. Pardon me for my bluntness though. But seriously, this is a series of DRABBLE. It's MEANT to be short.
