Chapter 1

Kagome's teeth chattered as the wind brushed against her bare skin. 'Why did it come to this? I saved the boy didn't I?' She bristled angrily at the blood under her nails and the bloodied tuffs of black fur everywhere. 'What if someone saw me?' Kagome glanced at the torn waistcoat and trousers that were once hers… "No wonder I'm so cold!" She bit down a growl. Wherever her brother was, he better have brought an extra pair of clothes.

She highly doubted he did. Oh, how she would love to kill him right now. How dare he put her in this mess! She recalled the day's events like a movie. Kagome was undercover as a butler, her brother's butler. She had no problem dressing up as a man; in fact she loved the idea of no corsets, dresses, or perusals, instead wearing the wonderful piece of clothing called pants. She even had no problem with serving her ice-cold brother, know what would happen if she didn't.

She counted in her head how many people wanted her dead. She laughed darkly as she glared at the innocent looking pink jewel, the one that has haunted her for years, that hung at her neck.

'You. You're the reason I'm in this mess.' She thought with a snarl. It had been 103 years since that fateful day she fell into the cursed well, 99 years since her friend and queen was killed, and the devils wouldn't stop fighting her for the cursed thing.

Kagome shivered again. It was one of those unexpected cold days in the fall. How ironic it was cold this day, the one day she would change. She looked at the boy in her arms, his one eye covered in an eye patch and the other one gently closed, showing Kagome he was still asleep. Ciel, she remembered. She noticed a stray lock of his shaggy black hair and pushed it away from his face. She held down a squeal of delight. He was just so cute! The twelve year-old Earl had came to conference with her brother with his own butler. 'Why did they come again? Business?'

Her mind drifted to the young Earl's handsome butler. He had the most peculiar hair color, one that was not very common in England. He had the most beautiful shade of jet-black hair infused with a purple tint, reminding her of the ravens that sat on her window at night. His eyes were also a peculiar color, a red-ish brown, reminding her of her raven's eyes. Her miko powers screamed demon, but it wasn't hard to tell from his appearance. Since when did people, more importantly humans, have red eyes?

'What was his name? Sebastian?' she recalled his name.

As if on cue, she heard the soft sound of footsteps on the cold forest ground. She recognized the swift movements of her brother, and someone else was with him. Kagome sunk more in the tree she was sitting by. She knew her brother already knew she was there. She just hoped the other man, no demon wouldn't. She hoped her brother would not call for her.

"Kagane, you can come out now." Her brother, Sesshomaru, coldly said, using the boy name she went by. Kagome silently cursed to whoever was watching her from above. Originally, she would obey her brother and come out, but this time is different. Someone was with him! How could he tell her to come out like this! "No." she accidentally said, surprising herself at how curtly it sounded. She was hoping he would get the message. Peeking through the leaves of her tree, she saw he wasn't. She tried again. "Master, I still have many things to pick up in the market, and the Young Earl has requested I show him around the new book store in town," she lied, "I would like to first run these arraigns, and then I shall meet you at the mansion, master." She heard another cold voice speak out.

"Perhaps I shall go with you." She recognized Sebastian's voice. Her eyes widened. 'Please tell me he's not coming over here!' she mentally screamed in her head. She glanced back through the leaves to look at her brother, her eyes screaming fear.

Apparently, he got the message. "Sebastian, perhaps you should take the day off. I trust my butler to take care of him. Please go wait for me back at the carriage." Sesshomaru shot out with an icy tone. It was not a request, it was an order. Sebastian, although displeased not being with his master, heard the ordering tone in his voice and complied. 'Thank you!' Kagome's mind screamed with relief. She watched as Sebastian left, his expression showing her he did not like the idea of not being with his master. She smiled nervously. 'What a loyal butler...'

Seeing raven hair gone, she slowly came out of her hiding place, her raven hair falling out of her low ponytail, her Royal blue eyes glistening with relief and joy of not being found. Sesshomaru's eyes became softer at the sight of his younger sister/butler, his usual icy stature disappearing. From her clothing-less form and the scattered tuffs of black fur, he could infer what happened. He sighed, letting out a breath he didn't know he held in. He slid his black and burgundy overcoat over his shoulders and threw it towards his younger sibling. His mouth tilted upward slightly as she caught it with one hand, and heard the mumbling of thanks in her direction. That small smile turned upside down rather quickly. He sighed once more.

"Kagome…."

Kagome stiffened at his tone. He never used that tone unless he had a big you-need-to-stop speech. She slightly huffed. She did not need this speech again. She put on her famous I-am-faking-this-smile look. "Yes?" she replied, in a too sweet tone.

"You ….changed, didn't you?" Kagome bristled in fury at his response. At this time, she just wanted to scream 'Well no duh, Stupid!' She rolled her eyes, keeping her anger in.

"Now, what gave you that idea?" She spit out in a sarcastic tone. "Save me the speech Sess. I have heard it too many times."

Sesshomaru slightly glared at her. "I hope you will not do it again, at least not without my permission." That glare slowly turned into a small smirk. He turned to leave. "I shall meet you at the house, Kagome. I shall take the Earl of Phantomhive with me, seeing he is asleep." Kagome gently lifted the boy with ease as she gave him to her brother. "Now go. Get some clothes on. It is cold. I do not want my butler catching a cold, now do I?" he said in a cold, mocking tone. Kagome laughed. "Like I could catch a cold."

He turned back to his carriage, where the young Earl's Butler sat patiently waiting. Sebastian saw his master in the noble's arms, and gave the richer noble a questioning look. Sesshomaru apparently noticed. "My butler said he had fallen asleep in their carriage, and he did not want to wake him up." Sebastian took this answer, although he did not believe it. His master never fell asleep. Ciel had too many nightmares to willingly fall asleep. He thought back at the richer noble's butler. How strange this Kagane was.

Kagome watched as her brother made his way to his carriage. Her eyes suddenly dulled with a sad glint. It was true she. …changed, but she didn't mean to. She had to save the young Earl didn't she? It was the only way to get him back from his kidnappers. She thought back to the scared look at his kidnappers' faces.

She began to giggle. Humans were so easy to scare.

As the wind hissed in her ears, Kagome smiled as she came upon the sandy colored stone walls of her home. Her brother's house was a beautiful sight for her eyes to see, it's sandy stone base accompanied by a series of arched windows, a circular porch, and its brown purplish roof top with a long row of decorative spikes along where the two slanted sides meet, along with four different chimney holes, and lining the road, trees showing off their fall colors.

It was not long before her eyes came upon a silver and burgundy horse drawn carriage; the same one her brother was in earlier. She inwardly cursed. They beat her. As if fate heard her, she could hear the fireplace burning through the dining room window.

Her eyes followed the rows of windows until she found the window she was looking for. The Kitchen. She usually kept it open a crack, often because of the Cook, Jakotsu, had a knack for burning things, causing them to ask her to cook. Kagome shook her head as she arrived at the window. Why her brother hired him she would never know. Kagome slowly lifted up the kitchen window, trying not to make a sound. She managed to get enough opened to allow her to squeeze through. She squirmed in, careful to not hit the sink and slid so she was facing the window. Kagome then heard the rustling of clothing behind her. She slowly smiled and turned, expecting to see Jakotsu or Sesshomaru, but instead to see the familiar coloring she was thinking about earlier, raven hair and confused brown-red eyes, with an equally surprised expression.

Her whole body froze. Her mind could only process one word.

'Crud…'
