"Master Subaru it isn't wise for you to take out your anger on the house-" Leon began only to get cut off by the glaring of his Master.
"So you would rather have me take my anger out on you and the other servants!" Subaru exclaimed feeling angrier than before.
Leon sighed at his Master's anger before reaching a hand out and grasping the same clutched fist Subaru used to try and land a punch on his other Master Raito and rubbed off the small debris left from the impact of the wall he hit with a handkerchief.
"It's not that I want you to take your anger out on the others or the house...it's just that I made a promise to care and protect all my Masters and see to it that they are content and happy with their lives." Leon explained putting the now dirty cloth away in a pocket of his pants.
Subaru's eyes widen a bit as he glanced into the loyal butlers gold eyes that showed he meant every word. Glancing back at his hand which was still held in the butlers calloused hands that showed how hard working he was before pulling out of Leon's grasp and turning away quickly.
"You better watch yourself now since you just denied Raito's request...better yet keep your guard up around all of us." Now calm Subaru disappeared as quickly as he came leaving Leon with a warm and happy feeling in his chest.
"Heh~ your still the same as ever Master Subaru." Leon spoke to himself as he walked to the room where their new guest will be occupying.
Hours Later
After cleaning and scrubbing the room, Leon gathered some sheets and other things needed for a female and set the place up to what he hoped was comforting and welcoming for the new bride.
As much as Leon disliked the fact that yet another female is going to have to face the terror and misfortune of the Sakamaki household he knew that most efforts were futile. A bitter sweet smile made it's way on Leon's face as he finished making the bed for the new prospective bride.
Sensing a presence, Leon quickly turned around and jumped slightly at the closeness of the person smirking before him. "It seems like where ever I go one of my Masters is around...is there something you need Master Ayato?" Leon spoke bowing his head in greeting toward the more bossier Master of the Sakamaki brothers.
"Yours Truly was looking for a plate of takoyaki but there wasn't one waiting for me downstairs...care to explain?" Ayato asked with a smirk on his face as he looked at his favorite servant of the Sakamaki household.
"Master Ayato...if I may speak so boldly, I left you a plate of takoyaki as requested on this mornings list...unless a certain Master Raito took it as revenge for earlier. Nonetheless, I will make you a fresh batch Ayato-sama." Leon explained trying to appease his Master.
"Heh~ Unlike my brother Kanato you can't appease me with treats or a new dish to replace the one you left unguarded...I'll have you pay in something else." Ayato spoke up a dark yet mischievous look shone in his eyes.
"Not now Master Ayato...I have to finish up we have a guest arriving in a while." Leon spoke up now slightly nervous much to the amusement of his Master.
Ayato allowed his smirk to grow as he pushed his now nervous butler onto the newly made bed before pinning him down. As he stared at the butler under him he chuckled amusedly at the fact that Leon stared back before baring his neck out for his Master to drink from.
As Ayato leaned down and took a long lick of Leon's neck after loosening his tie and moving the collar of Leon's shirt away. Leon only shuddered slightly at the feeling of his Masters tongue trailing his neck but said nothing against it.
After a bit Ayato spoke up "One of the main reasons why I like you better than the rest of the servants of this household is that you take any form of punishment and accept it...without struggle."
With that, Ayato bit down harshly onto Leon's neck making the butler wince at the stinging sensation but welcomed it because it was his punishment at failing a duty of his. Leon couldn't help but gasp when Ayato dug his fangs deeper into his neck and began to feel a little fainter due to the fact that his Master was practically guzzling his blood.
Ayato pulled away from the right side of Leon's neck and licked the blood off his lips before speaking up. "Your blood is always rich...sometimes I can't help myself."
Pulling away from Leon and standing up, Ayato took one last glance at the butler and the cleaned room and asked him the lingering question on his mind. "If we are having a guest... they better be someone who will provide Ore-sama great entertainment."
Leon fixed his shirt and the bed before standing up and following after his Master before answering his question. "I believe that your guest will provide excellent entertainment suited to your tastes Master Ayato." Leon replied while the same bitter sweet smile appeared on his face though Ayato didn't see it.
"Good, if the entertainment isn't as good as you say it is...your going to face a bigger punishment." With that Ayato walked away towards an unknown destination leaving Leon alone.
Rubbing the side of the neck where he was bitten, Leon couldn't help but sigh in fatigue which was not usual for the usually active and stronger looking butler. 'Well...back to work.' Leon thought to himself as he continued on his way.
The arrival of the bride
Glancing out the window in the kitchen, Leon noticed the dark and cloudy skies. 'I wonder if this is an omen' Leon thought to himself as he prepared another dish. As Leon was preparing meals he was currently unaware of the guest who arrived and the action that was taking place.
Finishing with the final preparations, Leon finally noticed a presence that was unfamiliar to him. 'Is that...blood, don't tell me the boys are getting rowdy with the bride' Leon thought to himself as he took a small whiff of the small scent of unique blood in the air.
Leon's eyes widened when he finally realized that the bride was already in danger on the first day. Quickly he followed the large presence of the Masters of the Sakamaki household gathered in one room.
Though his Master Shu intervened either intentionally or not before Master Ayato or Master Raito could bite her, Leon spoke up "It seems like the new bride has caused quite a bit of entertainment Masters."
Everyone glanced in his direction as he walked towards Ayato and knelt down next to the unconscious bride. "Allow me to take her off your hands for now Master Ayato...after all you wouldn't want to spoil the fun on the first day." Leon said as he gathered the young girl in his arms after receiving permission to do so from Ayato.
"Che~ Your right Leon we wouldn't want to ruin the fun with this girl yet" Ayato said sharing some glances with some of his brothers.
"Very well Masters I will take Milady to her new room and let her rest." Leon said bowing his head in the direction of the Sakamaki brothers.
As he left the room and begun his trek to the new brides room he couldn't help but admire the aura the young girl seemed to be surrounded in. A sad smile graced his face as he knew that she was going to be a great interest to the brothers and will be in a lot of pain from the bites they will most likely give her.
Pulling up to the girls room, he walked towards her bed and gently set her upon it. Pulling out a pink nightgown that would most likely reach the girls knees he carefully and gently undressed her with a look of indifference on his face as he placed the night ware on her innocent and fragile like form.
Leon folded her clothes neatly before placing them in a safe place along with her necklace. Once he was done with that, he carefully lifted the other side of the beds sheets and lifted the girl again before placing her under the covers. Brushing some of the light blonde strands of hair off the girls forehead, Leon brushed his lips against them before readjusting her hair and moving away.
"I will do my best to protect you Milady and I will not fail like last time" Leon spoke softly as he placed a hand over his heart and bowed to the sleeping girl. Before shutting off the lights Leon spared a last glance to the girl before leaving the area and into his room in the servants quarters letting the fatigue that usually wasn't there show.
"Let's see how much sleep I can get this night." Leon murmured to himself after getting ready for bed and tucking himself in. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was out like a light.
