Ciel Phantomhive began understanding Sebastian's general hatred for canines as he watched his head maid flutter around the content Pluto. To address the demon dog's state of undress during his transformations, Ciel had ordered Kagome Higurashi, his head maid, to dress him accordingly. And here she was hours later with an impeccably dressed Pluto.

The only problem was that she was smothering the dog with attention-

"Who's a good boy?"

Woof.

"You're so handsome aren't you boy!"

Woof.

"Pluto is a wonderful dog! And so kind and understanding for wearing clothes, neh?"

.

-and that was unacceptable.

'Why couldn't I have been allergic to dogs?' The young master thought as he caught sight of his peeved demon butler that was glaring quite furiously at the dog in Kagome's arms. Ciel's eye twitched the slightest as Pluto's head was smooshed into Kagome's ample breasts. Since hiring her, he had noticed an uncanny attraction of animals to Kagome. Especially dogs.

'Weren't demons supposed to hate Mikos?'

"Kagome, stop that behavior at once," Ciel demanded unknowingly giving off a childish ring to his command. Kagome stopped his ministrations to the dog and stared at him blankly before a knowing look crossed her eyes.

"What?" Ciel asked nervously as she inched forward as a warm smile grew on her face.

"Is my Ciel jealous? Yes he is!"

"Gah! Stop it Kagome!" Ciel's face lit up like a fire as he tried to push away the insistent woman from him. But she held on forcing Ciel to stop struggling and eventually relax.

Kagome's smile shrunk down to a content size as she placed a light kiss on her employer's head. His aura ebbed away the slightest from the darkness that threatened to consume him. She would save his soul, and that was a promise. And she would give him the love he was robbed of.

Kagome glanced up at the demonic butler as he turned around from kicking Pluto out of the room.

Sebastian Michaelis.

'You will not win.'

Sebastian smiled mockingly as his eyes glinted at the challenge. When Ciel had decided to hire the Miko, he had been wary at first.

But now…

He eyed the young woman's form with a growing smirk.

He'd gladly take a zap to have a taste.
