"Kyoya- Senpai?" A voice snapped Kyoya out of the trance he was in from working. He looked up from his laptop and saw Haruhi Fujioka.
"Yes Haruhi, what can I do for you?" He said looking back at his laptop.
"Um, well, Senpai…"
"Quit beating around the bush Haruhi and spit it out."
"What's that mark on your wrist?" She said quietly.
The question caught Kyoya off guard. He discreetly looked down at his wrist and saw what she was talking about. He looked up at her and said, "What mark?"
"Senpai, it's right there clear as day. I could see it across the room. Senpai what is it? You didn't have that mark yesterday."
"Haruhi. I have no idea what mark you're talking about. Now will you please leave me alone?"
"Ugh, Kyoya- Senpai!" She yelled in exasperation then turned and walked away in a huff.
'If I told you what it was Haruhi, you would only lecture me. No one but me could understand.'
"Master Kyoya, how was school today?"
"Fine Sebastian, just fine." Kyoya was in his room working on his laptop. Sebastian was reorganizing Kyoya's bookshelf to make it easier for Kyoya to find things.
"Master, I feel as if you're not telling me something." Sebastian said as he was putting away a history book.
"Hmm, I guess you can see through me."
"Well, Master if I couldn't see through you, then what kind of butler would I be?"
"True, Sebastian, true. Well, if you must know, Haruhi noticed ah, 'something' on my wrist today."
"And what do you want me to do about it?"
"I want you to find a watch that is big enough to cover it up."
"But wouldn't that just let her know that you are trying to hide something?"
"Sebastian don't question me just do as I say."
"As you wish, Master." Sebastian turned and got ready to leave Kyoya's room.
"Sebastian, did you finish the book shelf?" Kyoya asked with a slight hint of surprise in his voice.
"Why yes Master, I did finish it. You'll find that I organized everything by the Dewey Decimal System and then by author. For fiction though I just did it by author. As for your many black books, I went by what was written on the covers. They are all clustered together though and not spread throughout the book shelf. So, now Master, I was going to go find you a watch to cover up that 'mark'."
"Sebastian, I have one question."
"And what is that?"
"How do you do it?"
"Well you see Master; I am simply one hell of a butler." And with that Sebastian turned and left a slightly amazed Kyoya sitting at his laptop.
'One hell of a butler you are Sebastian, one hell of a butler you are.' Kyoya thought after recovering. Then his cellphone rang. Kyoya picked it up and answered it.
"Hello, This Kyoya Otori speaking." He said.
"Kyoya- Senpai? I could have sworn I dialed Tamaki- Senpai's number. Oh well, just means I get to tell you what I wanted to tell you." It was Haruhi.
"Oh? You might want reorganize your contacts so that doesn't happen again. And what did you want to tell me?"
"I just wanted to say that I know what I saw so don't go denying it. I don't know what you're hiding, but I'm not going to go prying too much. But just so you know, I'll be watching you Senpai."
"Your eyes are playing tricks on you Haruhi. Maybe it's time for you to check your contact lens prescription. Oh and Haruhi, when are you not watching me?"
"Ugh! I can see fine Senpai! Anyway there's no point in going any further with this conversation as you're being impossible! Good night Senpai! I'll see you tomorrow." Then the line went dead. Kyoya closed his phone and went back to his laptop. It was another hour when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come it!" He called out looking up from his work. The door opened and Sebastian walked in holding a box with the Rolex logo on it. Sebastian walked over to Kyoya and set the box down on his desk.
"Ah, Sebastian, so you got the watch?" He asked eyeing the box.
"Yes, master and I made sure it was big enough to cover the 'mark' yet small enough to look proportionate on your wrist. I hope you like what I picked out." Sebastian said with a bow.
"I'll take a look at it now." Kyoya said reaching for the box. He opened it up and hid his surprise to find a sleek, black metal Rolex. He looked it over and immediately found that it was indeed the real thing, after all he is the product of excellent breeding. Then he unlatched it and slipped it on. Just as Sebastian had said, it was big enough to cover up the contract seal yet small enough to look proportionate on his slender wrist. He looked down at it and found that it fit his style and demeanor rather nicely. He checked the time on his laptop and quickly adjusted the watch to make sure it changed the time right when his laptop did.
"Thank you Sebastian. I like it a lot actually. I might even grow quite fond of it." He said looking back to his work.
"You're welcome young Master. After all what kind of butler would I be if I couldn't pick out a watch that fits my master's standards?"
"Of course, Sebastian, now can you please leave my room. I have some work to do."
"As you wish young master," Sebastian said with bow as he left the room.
Kyoya stayed up a few more hours and then went to sleep.
Author's Note
Hey! I hope you liked this chapter of His Master, The Shadow King. As for the watch... I just see Kyoya as a Rolex kind of guy. Did I do good with choosing a watch. As for what happens next, I'm thinking of having Sebastian try to wake Kyoya up. Or is that too cruel... Heehee, either way he's going to have to do it sooner or later. And what about Haruhi noticing the contract seal? Things are starting to get complicated for Kyoya. Once again I hope you enjoyed this chapter and hope that you stay with me as I continue writing. Also be sure to check out my other story, For the Love of the Shadow King.
