Thank you all for your great reviews! Ciel will show up more and more often as time goes on but until then, here's the next chapter!
"Please, demoness, now is not the time." Sebastian hissed trying to pull away from the girl who had him pressed against the wall. She smiled against the warm skin of his neck. She had on hand on each of his wrists, pressed to the wall on either sides of his head.
"Heh, usually men would pool around my feet, but here you are, denying me." She whispered, biting into the sensative skin on his neck. He let out a sharp gasp of pain and even a little pleasure. Whether he liked her personality or not, his body was reacting to hers and it was diving him crazy. Ever since that night that she fell asleep in his bed, she hadn't really bothered him. She would hold a couple conversations with him, even help him out with some of the household chores that the clumsy servants had issues completing. Whenever they went to get Sebastian to fix it, she would do it herself. And Sebastian would come around to find that he was wasting his time.
This had been going on for about a week, and during their few conversations, he learned her name was Raven, she was about half his age but twice as strong, and was actually under contract but didn't go into detail. She lost her mother at a young age from a scuffle with a shinigami and her father roamed the human world. She didn't seem to like to talk much about her family. Whenever they came up in one of her rants she would immediately change the subject.
She was looking him in the eye now, smiling like she was having the time of her life. She brought her face up to his until their lips were nearly touching. She felt his heartbeat quicken and his warm breath on her lips. Whether or not his head wanted it, his body did and she was taking full advantage of it. She could have some serious fun with this demon in the position she was in but she hated being dominant. She would much rather be dominated. Something about him just made being in control more fun, though.
"Please, Raven, my young master will be displeased with my performance if I do not prepare his tea." That was all he could say while being pinned to a wall by an attractive demoness? How sad. She released him, raising her hands above her head innocently. She looked at him with a frown and a dropped her arms. Today's attire was pretty much the same as every other day. She wore hunting pants and an over sized button down shirt. Today's color was black, which suited her very well, though it still did nothing for the butler.
"Why are you still here?" He asked as he began walking down the hallway, figuring she would follow. When no answer came he turned around, only to see she had disappeared. He sighed and continued down the hall. There was something about her that grated on everyone of his nerves and there was something about the aura she gave off that kept him on edge, but at the same time, he had this strange attraction to her. It wasn't like he was falling for her or held any sort of real feelings towards her. Her strong aura was magnetic and that's all it was.
"Sebastian, what are you not telling me?" Ciel asked his suspicious looking butler. They had been working on a case and Sebastian seemed to know something, like he always did and Ciel was far from in the mood. He had been having trouble sleeping lately and was exhausted. Sebastian was going to tell him everything he knew and they were going to deal with the situation in a quick and efficient matter.
"Nothing, sir." Was his cocky reply. Oh how he hated this demon.
"Sebastian, this is an order. Tell me whatever I don't know." Sebastian's lip twitched, but he bowed none the less with his hand over his chest and smiled politely.
"Yes, my Lord. Maylene ruined the latest tea set, Bardroy lit the kitchen on fire and Finnian destroyed the garden." Ciel growled, as he knew the Butler didn't disobey his order. The earl didn't know about said incidents but, considering his staff, it was a normal day. Not in the mood, dismissed his butler, and went back to his work. Sebastian walked down the hall, heading towards the kitchen to prepare dinner since he knew Bard was totally incapable of handling such. He walked into the kitched to see a familiar face, sleeping on the counter.
"Oh dear, she is asleep. Such an odd demoness." He muttered to himself, lifting her up and darting into his room, since it's where she usually hungout any way, and set her on the bed. Did she even worry about someone seeing her? He was the only one who knew she was a resident here and he wanted to keep it that way. If his master knew a demon had been staying here without him knowing, he wouldn't be happy. The servants may enjoy her company, since her maturity levels were on par with theirs, but that would only distract them from their work even more than they usually are.
Why did she sleep so much anyway? She was constantly falling asleep, like a tired human. To demons, sleep was a luxury and the fact that she did it all the time made him believe that she took things for granted. She probably took staying here for granted as well. Maybe one day he would kick her out (or attempt to) just to see how she would handle it. Maybe he could play a game or two with her; to humor her.
She twisted and turned in the bed until she opened her eyes and stared at the butler, a slight smile on her face. She patted the bed next to her, offering for him to come lay down with her but he shook his head no. She nodded and waved him off, knowing he probably had things to attend to. He walked off without a second thought, leaving her there to sleep by herself. She sat there, not really in the mood to sleep anymore. She thought about why she was still living here, knowing she was probably nothing but a nuissance to the poor butler that put up with her everyday.
He was the only person that didn't swoon, that didn't demand her attention. He was the only one that put up with her and actually talked to her. It had been a while since she could talk to anyone, and she missed it. She needed that. He felt nothing for her, and she was aware of that, but it didn't matter. For the time being, she was happy and content. She liked it here, and she wanted to stay here. She probably wasn't going to stay much longer, only until she completed her promise, and she knew the consequences of that.
Sebastian was tucking Ciel into bed, a small frown etched into his features. This didn't go unnoticed by Ciel, as Sebastian was never in such a fowl mood. What possibly could set his butler off? Maybe it was the servants? They were always screwing things up and succeeding in doing nothing more than pissing Sebastian off. But this anger was different, and as a child, Ciel was curious.
"What has you so upset?" Ciel finally questioned as Sebastian pulled the covers up over the small boy. He was so young, so innocent, so determined and it made Sebastian hungry. He was willing to wait it out though, and make a meal to remember. Sebastian shook his head and smiled a fake smile at his young master. It wasn't his job to complain to his master, and speaking of Raven was probably a bad idea at the moment. He highly doubted that his master would be pleased that he had been keeping a demoness in his basement.
"It's nothing to concern yourself with, my Lord. Please, the moon is high and you should be resting." Ciel nodding and curled up into a ball, making himself comfortable. Sebastian grabbed the only source of light in the room and walked out. He returned to his chambers, to find Raven with the white cat she had grown so attatched to. She was rubbing its tummy, giggling softly. He let a small smile creep onto his face before setting down the candles on his small desk he had pressed against his wall and began taking his clothing off. Clothing was a bother more often than not and Sebastian liked to sleep without them.
Raven didn't take her eyes off the cat, who just kept purring underneath her touch. She was so comfortable here, with this little creature that she so adored. She was trying to come up with a worthy name for this feline, but kept coming up short. She thought Ivory might fit her, but ivory wasn't as pure a white as the fur of this cat. She thought of other, simpler names but none of them seemed to fit just right. She felt the bed dip next to her, and looked to see Sebastian climbing under the covers, completely naked. She blushed and looked back to the cat, who had curled up into a ball onto her lap. Another hand joined hers as she stroked the little white fuzz ball.
"You're actually sleeping, tonight?" She asked, taking her hand off the cat to slip her gloves off and start undoing her shirt. She usually went through this routine without thinking of Sebastian seeing her, since her rarely visited his own room, but now she was a little embaressed since he was here. She found it odd that she can be so comfortable forcing herself onto him but now that she was alone with him in bed half naked, she was nervous and unsure of herself. She quickly did away with her shirt and gently placed her cat onto Sebastian's chest so that she may take her pants off as well.
When she finally finished the ceremony of undressing, she curled up under the blankets with a sigh. She looked up to find Sebastian laying on his side, with the cat between the two of them. She wondered why he was here tonight, unlike the other nights where he just found things to keep him busy. She loved sleeping, and continuously found herself wanting to sleep. She wondered why Sebastian wouldn't want to sleep as well, but didn't care. He was here tonight at least.
"Why tonight?" She asked.
"Why not tonight?" He shot back with a smirk. He had fun being a smartass, and it angered her. But it was still fun, battling with another demon in a way that wasn't totally serious or meaningful. She smirked at the demon lying across from her and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight," she whispered into her pillow. She enjoyed the emptiness, the darkness where nothing disturbed you lest you let it. She liked being alone, in her own little world where nothing was expected of her as time passed. She enjoyed sleeping, and often envied humans for needing it. She wished she were human sometimes. They were physically inferior, and generally their mental capacity was smaller, but they had purposes in life. They had jobs, and lives worth living. They only had a certain amount of time to do a certain amount of things, while demons had all of eternity to reach one goal; mate.
Some, such as Sebastian, occupied their time with contracts, in which they work under humans. She had considered opening herself to such offers while she finished up this contract, but she decided against it. She never took orders well, unlike Sebastian who could take orders and follow them perfectly. He was perfect, and she wasn't. She was a woman, and she let emotions affect every single thing she did. She normally would have left a man alone by now because he wasn't needed for this operation, but she stuck with him because of her emotions. She stayed here because she was lonely, and deep down she was letting herself fall for someone she barely even knew, and he didn't feel anything back.
It was silly to fall for someone like she did. But, like every girl, she created unrealistic views of a situation and the unrealistic view here was that this demon would fall for her and that they could spend eternity together, and maybe even raise a fa-
No. She couldn't mate, so she won't even go there, she wasn't even going to think about it. She was just going to shake herself of the thoughts and go to sleep. She willed herself into the darkness. She felt it encase her in its cold embrace, its lonliness. She layed there, with a blank head, no thoughts or emotions. Even for just a little bit, she was going to forget. She wasn't going to let the world get her. Sleeping was her therapy, her medicine, and she was going to take advantage of it. She was going to abuse it. After all, it was the only thing keeping her sane.
I kinda liked this chapter. I don't know what you all thought of it so please, review. I will give you all cookies :)
