His Kitten: Her First Guest

New Edit 5/12/15: Sorry guys, for a while I was roleplaying with a friend and the replies were so quick that I didn't really have time to edit or anything but now we've kind of just… stopped… Which sucks because it meant so much to me and I fell in love with our characters. But they don't really want to anymore so yeah… It's okay but it tore me up a little bit because I was so attached. Anyway I'm back so here you go I guess.

Edited chapter 4! I think this is when I started paying more attention to typing so there shouldn't be much of a change.

New edit 6\27\14: Yeah I have learned a bit more so it's changing again, thank you for sticking with me.

Melody POV

The warm morning sun on my skin along with fingers running through my hair were what woke me up. I have to say that it was quite a pleasant way to wake up and it left me purring.

"Are you awake, My Pet?" Master's voice was the only other thing I heard besides the chirping birds and my purring that broke the silence.

I stretched out and opened my eyes to look up at him.

"Meow?"

I was sprawled across his lap in his bed though I wasn't sure when that happened but really what do I care? I was comfortable and that's all that mattered to me. "Master!" I yawned and stretched out again.

He pet my head with a smile and lifted me up so he could dress me yet again. He kept smiling as he dressed me in the same attire that he gave me on the first day. The short dress and pants with the thigh high stockings instead of the clunky outfit that he had dressed me in before the guest came.

"There, just as charming as ever." He cooed as he finished brushing my hair.

To be honest, I was very content with letting him bathe me, dress me, and brush my hair. It gave me the attention that I wanted.

It was often that I would just call out his name, or rather "master" as he had taught me and he just seemed amused by it.

Once I was fully dressed and ready for the day Master left the room. I followed on his heels and watched as he brewed tea for the young master and his guests. Apparently there had been more guests earlier in the day but for some reason he had woken me up late today.

We entered the room where the guests were, the study I think but I can't remember exactly what it was called.

There were two guests which consisted of a woman dressed all in red and a dark haired man in clothing that was strange to me. Each had their own scent but right now they were mixed together so I couldn't pick out which was which. I stuck close to Master's side, being cautious about these new people.

"That new maid of yours seems rather attached to your butler." The strange man pointed out.

I ignored him and stayed close to Master.

Master chuckled and pet my head. "The cat chooses her master." He said with a smile, my tail swished as I purred happily. "It is very natural for creatures like her to choose one master." He continued the woman in red smiled at me.

"Well, she is just adorable. You say you found her on the streets?" She asked towards Young master, at least she looked his way so that's what I supposed.

Young Master nodded, "She followed us out of an alley trying to steal a bottle of milk."

The strange man smirked and rubbed his chin, "A girl like her would turn an awful good profit… Care to sell her to me?"

The younger male scowled at him.

"I will not, she is now a part of this household and will stay a part of it." Young Master said with authority. He seemed to hold a lot of that.

Master smirked a little bit, "I do have to agree with a portion of Sir Lau's statement. Melody is absolutely charming and would turn a profit."

He moved behind me as he spoke.

"Just look at these ears…" He began to stroke my ears. "So soft, almost like velvet. Her eyes are so wise yet so innocent. And now, the best part…" His hands closed around mine as he lifted them. "Her hands are so soft that they would put even a kitten's paws to shame."

I blinked a bit and glanced up at Master a little confused. My hands were bony and thin looking, how could that be described as "soft?"

Young Master looked a bit irritated at Master and snapped at him. "Get back to work!"

Master pulled away from me entirely and bowed to the younger male, "Yes, my Lord. Come along Melody." I nodded and bowed like he had before and followed him.

Once we reached the kitchen I was handed an open bottle of milk. Actually it seemed to just appear in front of my face which surprised me enough to make me squeak.

"The nerve of that man, thinking of so much as touching something that is mine…." Master grumbled. I looked up at him confused for a second before taking the bottle of milk that was offered to me.

Who was I to turn down free food or a bottle of milk?

Once I had taken the bottle from his hand Master checked on the apple and raisin tart that was in the oven.

I tilted my head to the side and mewed a bit in confusion, hoping that the sound would convey what I wanted to ask but Master just glanced at me. This was getting me nowhere, what did he mean by that?

Well he didn't seem bothered by my talking so I might as well attempt to speak right?

There was still the fear of getting in trouble for trying to speak so I only uttered one word. "M-mine?"

Master smirked a bit at me.

"Yes, you are mine My Pet. You belong solely to me and no other creature should so much as think of touching you."

I tilted my head to the other side but took a gulp of my milk anyway while Master continued speaking. Of course I wasn't really paying attention to whether it was directed at me or he was just talking to himself.

"I have grown tired of living alone and you shall remain by my side whether you choose to accept it later on or not."

He went on like I understood what he was talking to me about when I really didn't. I just smiled and continued to drink my milk only to become a bit disappointed when it ran out. Because of this I pouted and held the empty bottle up to Master who seemed to take no notice of it as he moved to leave the kitchen. I huffed and followed him when he left, even if I was only following him to pester him for another bottle of milk and maybe something to eat.

It wasn't long before I noticed that Young Master was out in the hall with the other servants who were running around in circles. They were chasing something. Was that… Mice? My ears perked up and my tail flicked side to side and the empty milk bottle was placed on the ground forgotten as I entered a more predatory mindset.

Sebastian POV

I glanced at my pet and noticed her eyes flash to their demonic hue before she pounced on the two unsuspecting rodents being chased by the incapable brood of servants.

She trapped them beneath the claws on one hand and seemed to tease them for a moment by poking at them gently with the claws on her other hand. This act didn't seem to entertain her for long and soon the mice were impaled on her sharp claws. After she examined the corpses she held them up to me as if for approval.

I chuckled and carefully removed them before dropping them in the net that Tanaka had been carrying. I happened to look back at her just as she began to lick her claws clean, the same way as she had when she destroyed the pesky bird who had dared to tease her. Three of the servants paled at the sight while the other didn't seem to care much.

"D-did she just….?"

Bard seemed rather shocked at her behavior.

"A-and is she…?"

Meirin seemed to have a hard time putting her thoughts on the situation.

I smiled, nodded and gave my pet a pat on her head. "Yes, she is a cat after all."

Young Master smirked, "You were right when you said that she was good at getting rid of pests."

"Master Sebastian."

Melody had finished licking her claws clean and looked up at me. Her claws had returned to the shape and length of fingernails and her eyes had become their normal shade of sunset orange once more. I simply gave her a smile and turned my attention back to Young Master.

"Young Master, your desert is almost ready. Will you eat with your guests?"

"Bring it to my study." He sighed and started walking towards his study.

"Yes, my Lord." I bowed slightly.

Once Young Master was out of sight I stood up from my slight bow and walked away, Melody on my heels as she always seemed to be. Of course I expected nothing less from my pet.

"Such a good kitten you are." I praised and scratched behind her ears making her purr happily. "I suppose that now is as good a time as any to teach you to curtsy."

Her head tilted to the side in confusion and I demonstrated. "When I bow," I did so after I said the word to demonstrate, "You curtsy." I showed her how to do so again.

It was just a moment before she stood and mimicked. "Good." I praised before I bowed once again and this time she curtsied perfectly.

I smiled at her and scratched her ears once more. "You are a very fast learner."

She meowed happily and nearly shouted, "Learner! Fast!"

I blinked in surprise, three words is such a short amount of time. The buzzer on the timer broke me from my shock but I kept smiling as I pulled the tart from the oven.

"Yes, very good." I praised.

Praise seemed to be one of the few things that truly encouraged her to continue to learn and act as she was.

I quickly brewed tea for Young Master and his guests before heading toward the study with my pet following loyally again.

Melody POV

I stood behind Master as he rapped on the door with his knuckles, but no answer came. I didn't quite understand why he was knocking on the door of an empty room though.

"Young Master?" He tried again but the same response came from behind the door, by which I mean that there was no response.

He opened the wooden door to show a disheveled room. Even for the short time that I had been here I had noticed that Young Master liked to keep things fairly tidy so the disheveled state was out of character. I sniffed the air and hissed slightly and the unfamiliar scent that I caught.

Something wasn't right.

"I know kitten. What a shame… The tea shall go to waste." Master muttered.

I meowed as he disposed of the wasted tea and followed as he moved to take the tart back to the kitchen or to the guests, I wasn't sure which one it was and honestly I didn't care. I really just wanted a piece of the tart because I was rather hungry. It annoyed me that he didn't bother to offer me a piece at all.

Master stopped in front of one of the large windows in the hallway but I would not step in front of it. I refused to because I caught the sound of movement and an unfamiliar scent from just outside. I did not know this person, male from the scent, and I did not trust them.

I watched Master's eyes turned a bit toward the bushes outside the window and my tail flicked a bit in irritation. He knew the person was there as well but he wasn't doing anything about it.

"Sebastian!" A female voice called and startled me out of my own thoughts. I hissed in surprise at the red-haired maid as she ran toward my master with something in her hand.

"Yes Meirin?" He acknowledged her.

"There's a letter!" The female cried.

"Addressed to whom?"

She took a glance at the envelope in her hand, "To the attendant of the Lord of Phantomhive." She answered and continued running only to trip on the laces of her boots.

At the exact moment that she collided with him a loud noise rang out in the air. I jumped as the window shattered followed by a vase right beside the duo. Master did manage to catch the tart though. I ran over to them continuing to glare at the female that was on top of my master.

"Meirin, the letter please." He said emotionlessly.

Meirin pushed herself up with her hands, "Letter? Oh yes!" She said almost like she had forgotten.

The two stood as she handed off the envelope and as soon as she stepped away I was at Master's side with my arms wrapping around his arm as I glared at her.

I paid no attention to what Master said until he looked down at me. "What an inelegant invitation, don't you agree Melody?" He asked. I nodded without knowing what he truly meant.

"Un-unelegant…."

It didn't quite sound the same as when he said it but it sounded similar, Master smiled at me.

"What happened? Is everything alright?" I glanced at the woman in red who was running up to us. As she spoke and Master turned to her, I had yet to release him.

"Yes, everything is fine, nothing to worry about."

"Nothing to worry about huh?" She mumbled not seeming to accept what Master had said.

Master turned around to the two male servants who had appeared behind us. "Clean this up will you?" He asked the older male while handing him the pie and gesturing for me to follow him as he walked away.

Outside of the manor he lifted me into his arms. "Hang on tight." Master took off at a very quick pace causing me to squeak and hide my face in his chest. The rate at which things were moving made me kind of dizzy.

It wasn't long before I heard the screaming of obviously male voices. I could hear something bend and gravel being disturbed as well but we had stopped moving so I took a glance at where we were.

Master, with me still in his arms, was on the front of something that looked very strange. It was resting halfway over a cliff and teetered slightly at the distribution of weight. Sounds came from a strange device in one of the two male's hands which had captured my attention so I leaned closer to sniff it.

Master took the part that was making sounds and held it up to his ear. I made a similar shape to the device with my fingers and copied the action.

"Hello?"

There was a pause in which I mewed like I was answering him.

"I and my companion are servants of the Phantomhive household, might our master be available?"

There was another pause, "Hello?" Master asked again.

A small sound that seemed akin to the bark of a dog reached my ears. The voice was recognizable to me despite my short time at the manor.

'That was Young Master's voice!'

My ears twitched and my tail flicked in happiness at hearing the small boy's voice and I excitedly tapped Master's shoulder.

"Very well Young Master, I shall retrieve you soon." Master said before hanging up the device and looking at the men who appeared to be absolutely frightened, the aura coming from them made me purr slightly though I had no idea why.

"Thank you for the use of your field telephone. Now then, I have a few questions to ask you. Keep in mind that I and my companion are not very patient." Master scratched my ears as he spoke, as if to draw attention to me.

"Who do you work for?" He asked.

The two men screeched in fear and put their hands up in a submissive gesture.

"D-don't hurt us! We work for Azuro Vener of the Ferro family! He has a manor down in the east end! We just work for him!" One of them cried pathetically.

Master smirked and stood with me still in his arms before tossing the strange device back to the men.

"Sorry to have taken your time, we shall be on our way." He said and bowed to them before he jumped down off of the front of the machine and landed with his back turned to the cliff.

An explosion sounded causing my ears to flatten against my skull. Master seemed to take no notice of this and checked his pocket watch.

"Nearly 5:30, at this rate I will never have dinner ready in time." He muttered to himself.

I tilted my head a bit in confusion, dinner is food and I won't complain about getting food but shouldn't he focus on Young Master right now?

He started walking again but I didn't really pay attention to where we were or how quickly we moved, I was bored. Before I knew it I was placed on my feet at the steps of a strange manor. "My my, what a lovely estate don't you think?" Master asked me.

I nodded with my usual soft purr, "L-lovely."

A large group of men who seemed to be guarding the entrance to the home turned to face the two of us and aimed some strange greyish machines at us.

"Who the hell are you?" The male who spoke seemed to be the dominant of this particular group, much as Master was back home, but he didn't seem to notice me. At least he hadn't noticed me yet.

Master bowed to the large group of human males so I curtsied the way he had taught me to.

"I am a servant of the Phantomhive manor and this lovely creature here is my beloved pet." He said as he put a hand on my head once more which drew the attention of the males to me. Many of their eyes widened in shock when they looked at me.

The leader scowled with a dark and determined look in his eyes, "Fire!"

"Melody my pet, it is time for you to show me what you are capable of doing." Master told me with a smirk.

I smiled and nodded, my retinas began to burn slightly and red momentarily flashed across my vision, all hints of not wanting to harm someone left from my mind.

My claws extended to about half of the length of my fingers while my ears flattened to my head to make my body more streamlined and my tail flicked in excitement. I could even feel my fangs elongate a bit.

Once I felt physically ready I crouched down, feeling the muscles in my legs tighten as they prepared to propel me at the group. I pounced at them after a moment, making sure to dodge each of the shiny little shapes that came hurdling in my direction.

I reached the dominant male of the group, since it made the most since to me to take out the leader first, and gripped his right arm in both of my hands before I proceeded to crush the part that they were around. The sound it made sounded almost like a large stick being stepped on or snapped in half.

The noise and feel of this only excited me more and I licked my lips while beginning to think of slashing the flesh of the next human I touched with my claws just to see and smell their blood while feeling the flesh tear in the wake of my claws.

I crushed the arms of about five more humans before I got bored and moved on to using my claws. They sunk into the flesh on the next male's chest, cutting through more of the hard substance that I had been crushing in my hands earlier and into the object that made the sound I often listened to when Master would let me cuddle with him.

Unlike the times I cuddled with Master and hoped that I never had to stop listening to the sound I rather enjoyed when it stopped and the male fell to the ground no longer moving.

I quickly became more excited with this fighting and used my claws to rip into the throat of the next male I came across. I grinned as I felt his flesh rip beneath my claws.

It felt amazing! Similar to when I would skewer a rat or mouse on my claws only much better for some reason. I wasn't hunting because I was hungry, I was killing for fun and to gain praise from my master.

The next males head came clear off and fell to the ground. I giggled a bit and paid no mind to his body as it fell and hit the ground and instead paid my attention to his head on the ground. I pulled my leg back before kicking the head and making it slam straight into a wall.

This was fun.

"Melody, as much as I enjoy seeing you murder these humans, you are taking too long, if you could please hurry up." Master ordered me.

I blinked a little bit and looked over at him momentarily contemplating attacking him before I came back to my senses. I shook my head a little bit and settled to snapping the necks of the rest as quickly as I could.

It wasn't as fun to do but it was quicker, though I did get carried away again and another head ended up coming off. This one was pulled off by my strength and not cut off by my claws.

Master stepped over to me and pet my head, snapping me back into reality yet again. "That was impressive. I never thought such a young demoness would possess such power. Nor that you would possess such a ferocious side." His voice held pride as he spoke.

I purred proudly and followed him as he headed up the stairs and inside.

Master put his hand out in front of me causing me to stop. "Melody, please stay hidden for now. Wait until I call you to come out."

"Master Sebastian." I huffed a bit in annoyance before crawling under a long table in the middle of the room as quickly as I could. I wanted to fight again.

It was only briefly that I noticed the red handprints that I left on the ground.

Not too long after I hid there was the sound of metal hitting metal. It was a sound similar to when I would get bored in the dark and throw a rock at one of the light posts that I could easily see from the alley that I preferred to stay in on the streets.

I waited for a few moments after the room went silent but began to get a little anxious, was Master alright? I really hoped that he was. Then again I also wanted to end up slicing up a few more people.

"My my, well that took longer than expected."

My ears twitched slightly and I let out a soft sigh of relief and disappointment at hearing Master's voice.

"My pet, you may come out now."

I cautiously crawled out from underneath the table like I was told that I could and looked around.

My hands were beginning to feel a bit odd as the blood of the men that I had killed outside started to dry on them but I took very little notice at this point.

A white gloved hand reached out in front of me, beckoning for me to grab it. I looked up to see who the hand was attached to, just in case it was someone trying to trick me into thinking that it was Master but it really wasn't. I was relieved to find that it really was Master. I took his hand and allowed him to help me to my feet before he began to pet my ears.

"Come now."

I nodded and followed him as he led me to another room, one that many sounds could be heard from. The frantic breathing stood out to me.

I stayed behind Master as he opened the door but glanced over his shoulder to see a yellow haired man with a mark and shiny things on his face who had a hold on Young Master, this fact made me hiss lowly.

"I'm surprised… You managed to kill all those people by yourself. You got us." The man who was holding Young Master said with a smile.

I moved out from behind Master slightly and clung to him. There was something about this man that didn't seem right to me. Perhaps it was just that he was a threat to Young Master.

"I was wondering what kind of giant would come, but yet you're just some tail coated Romeo." The man continued and pointed the end of one of those silver machines at us causing me to squeak a little and cling tighter to Master thus bringing the male's attention to me. "Oh, it seems that I overlooked your little Juliette, quite cute."

Master's calm smile faltered slightly when the man's attention was on me.

"But who are you really? Are you a hit man hired by the Phantomhives? Are you an ex-SWAT mercenary? You can't really be a butler."

This man never seemed to shut his face hole and it was starting to annoy me. This showed as my tail started to flick and my hands clenched in anticipation as I began to imagine ways to end this filthy human's life.

I was pulled closer to Master and out of my murderous thoughts so I allowed my arms to wrap itself around his in my normal possessive way.

"Yes, I am a butler to the core. And only that."

The man's machine moved to me, "What about her?"

Master looked down at me with the same kind smile that he always gave me, "My beloved pet."

Hmm, that was the same answer he gave the other man before he had me kill them. What exactly does "pet" mean though? Not that I care much. I have someone who is taking care of and feeding me and I get a nice place to sleep.

The strange blond-haired man laughed nervously bringing my attention back to him.

"I see… In any case, I have no intention of fighting you, Mr. Butler… I yield."

He said and then without warning he reached down and grabbed the Young Master's hair with his right hand and pulled him up so that the machine was held to his head now. A hiss rose in my throat as he threatened one of the people who took care of and was kind to me.

"But you know… I'll be taking those goods you managed to get."

His voice held smugness in it since he was thinking that he had won. Master's smile disappeared and I tensed up a bit more. Would he order me to kill this male too? The muscles in my legs tightened preparing to pounce and my hands unconsciously tightened on Master's arm.

"You wouldn't want your cute master to have breathing holes in his head, would you? If you're really a butler then you know what you should do." The male continued.

I looked up as Master let go of me, pushed me slightly more behind him and pulled something from his left breast pocket. I was confused about why he pushed me behind him until I heard the click that the machines made before the strange little shapes flew at you.

"The thing you gentlemen are looking for is right…" He was cut off as something flew through the side of his head.

"M-Master?!" I squeaked. This shouldn't have happened to him! I'm supposed to make sure that the person who takes care of and is nice to me is protected!

"S…" Was all that Young Master was able to say.

More of the projectiles pierced Master's body causing his blood to splatter on my face. My eyes widened even more, I didn't like that the only person who had ever praised me was being hurt.

Master fell to the ground as I just stared at him in shock. Why didn't I move? Why didn't I just rip each of the males that harmed him into pieces and present them to my master to get his approval before this happened? I heard the clicks so I should have done something.

"Did… We get him?" One male asked shaking.

I couldn't move I was paralyzed in shock and denial.

"… Ha ha ha! Sorry Romeo… But I'm the winner of this game!" The blond looked at me, "And I get this adorable lady too." He said before lifting the Young Master's head to tap the machine against his chin. "And right when he'd come for you… Too bad, huh? … Little Phantomhive."

My ears fell against my skull and my legs gave out underneath me causing me to plop down on the ground next to Master's motionless body. This isn't right, Master was strong so this shouldn't have happened.

Why am I not attacking?!

"If you're up against the Phantomhives, The Queen's Watch Dogs, then even I'll keep an ace up my sleeve. And all that's left is to kill you and it'll be perfect. You've been in the way for a long time now. Always watching us like the police, eh?" The man asked sarcastically with a smile as he pulled the Young Master's head back, "We'll erase you… And bring change to England through our own methods…. However… If I just cut you up it would be a waste of a face like this, kid." The man began to lift Young Master's eye patch up and off. "Our product been banged up a bit… But I think your face will fetch a price as pretty as your organs."

He grabbed the boy's chin and I flinched as I finally noticed the men surrounding me. I still couldn't move though, I couldn't other than to lean over Master's body as if to protect him from further harm. My tail began to flick angrily as they came closer.

"Oh, you don't need to be scared. By the time you're in the hands of those perverts, we'll have you so drugged up that you won't feel a thing…"

Young Master cut the man off. "Hey. How long are you going to play around for?"

My ears twitched and I tilted my head in confusion, was Young Master talking to Master? If he was then Master didn't seem to hear him.

"I wouldn't have thought that that was such a nice place to sleep. Just how long are you going to play dead like a raccoon?"

I could hear Master's glove move and my ears perked up. He's alright! My master will be okay!

"Th-that's not possible!" The man screamed.

I looked down at Master, "….. My my."

His voice made me smile and purr as I moved away from him a bit.

"Master!" I didn't fail to protect my master! He was alive!

He stood in a way that seemed rather uncomfortable because of the way that his back bent.

"The efficiency of guns has been going up recently. It's a big difference compared to one hundred years ago." Master spoke calmly.

"What are you doing?! Kill him!" The blond ordered his underlings.

The shiny objects that had previously been lodged in Master's body now rested in the palm of his hand, though covered in blood.

"I'm returning these."

He smirked before finding each one a home in each of men that had harmed him and they fell to the floor. Now all that was left was the man holding Young Master.

Master held up one of the tails from his coat, it was now filled with holes. Why did he care though? We still had to rescue my other master! This fact made me huff and flick my tail a bit.

"Ah… What a mess. My clothes have become ruined." Master spoke to himself.

I jumped to my feet and clung to his side glaring in every direction of the room as if it was going to happen again before my glare settled exclusively on the blond holding Young Master.

"It's 'cause you were playing around, you idiot." Young Master growled.

Master wiped blood from his mouth. "I was only being faithful to your command, Young Master. "Just act like that" you said. Besides… Your appearance is quite impressive. It looks nice and gruesome, not unlike a bug. It suits someone so small and weak like yourself."

The male began to scream again as Master stepped forward.

"Stay away!" He screeched.

Honestly I hated this male's voice but it sounded much better when he was screaming in fear.

"I thought it would be nice to watch you looking that way for a little while." Master continued without seeming to notice the other man's screams.

"Shut up!"

"Whose words are you listening to?" Young Master asked. He sounded more upset than a moment ago.

"Shut up!"

Master was still slowly stepping forward.

"Stop!"

I watched to see what would happen.

Sebastian POV

I glanced curiously at my pet out of the corner of my eye and found her to be smirking a bit. The look seemed out of place on her childish face since it seemed rather sadistic. My eyes moved from her back to my Young Master.

"I-I-I said stop dammit! If you come any closer I'll blow his head off!" His kidnapper yelled.

I stopped walking and put a hand to my chin. "Hmm… Whatever shall I do?" I asked sarcastically to myself. As I spoke I moved and kept a smirk on my face.

"Hurry up already, my arm hurts." The Young Master kept a calm voice as Mr. Vener continued to screech at us.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

I tilted my head to the left. "But if I come any closer, you'll be killed." I said with a soft smile. Young Master glared at me, not amused in the least.

"You bastard…. Do you intend to go against the "contract"?"

I placed my right hand over my heart. "That would be unthinkable. I have been your faithful servant ever since that day; I would undertake anything as long as you wished it."

I could just imagine Melody behind me trying to put together and pronounce words as I spoke. Despite my own voice and Mr. Vener's frightened sounds, her soft voice still stood out. It was almost as if she didn't think much of the frightened man and didn't care.

"The sacrifice that was offered… And the happiness you left behind you." I said causing the boy glared harder at me and Melody finally managed to piece together a word, that word being "you".

"Now…" I began only pausing for a moment.

"What the hell are you on about?! You freak!" Mr. Vener's fearful voice caused my smirk to widen in the least bit.

"Young Master. Shall we teach him the proper way to beg?" I asked and tilted my head more to the left in a way that somewhat resembled Melody's look of confusion while holding my right index finger to the corner of my lips as I spoke.

Young Master opened his right eye to reveal the mark of our contract. "It's an order! Save me!"

Mr. Vener screeched louder and held an expression that could tell even the youngest child that he was close to snapping, he was afraid. In a split second the gun in his hand went off, Young Master remained unharmed.

"W-why… Ain't he dead…?" He asked terrified.

"Is this what you're looking for?" I appeared behind the Italian holding the bullet meant for Young Master between my thumb and index finger. "I'm… Returning it."

With that said, the bullet fell into his pocket. "Please release the master to me. First would you remove your filthy hands from him." I twirled my finger causing Mr. Vener's arm to follow the movement. He screeched louder than before and released Young Master.

I lifted the boy into my arms and glanced at my pet who was watching the blond with narrowed eyes and a flicking tail.

"I'm afraid today's game was quite uninteresting." Master spoke calmly, almost as if nothing had happened.

I placed him down in a chair to undo his bindings. Melody ran up to the two of us and leaned slightly over my back to see what I was doing. It seemed that she had lost interest in watching Mr. Vener squirm and had more curiosity aimed at what I was doing.

"You, mya…"

I smiled up at her and began to rip the belts that held our master. I could almost feel her intense gaze on my hands as they ripped through the leather.

"W-wait, dammit!" The Italian began screaming again, Melody glared at him. "You're just a butler right?! I… I can't be finished in a place like this!"

I continued on with my task, hardly heeding the pathetic human's words.

"As a body guard, I can give you five times, no ten times what you're getting now… And liquor and women and whatever you want…" He continued, "…So… Team up with me!"

I ripped the final belt on Master and threw it away.

"It's a shame, Sir Vener, but… I have no interest in currency made by human hands…" I paused and glanced at my pet who was still slightly leaning on me while her narrowed eyes stayed trained on the human male. "Nor its women, for I am … A demon… And a butler."

I smirked and stepped forward, Melody being the loyal pet she was, stepped forward with me.

"As long as the Young Master has the sign of the "contract"… I am his faithful servant. "Sacrifice." "Desire.""

I pulled my right glove off with my teeth to reveal the contract symbol on the back of my hand and my black nails once I had finished that part of my little speech.

"And thus, I am bound to my master through the "contract."" I finished the second part. I could hear Melody purring as my aura seeped through the room.

Melody POV

Young Master put his left hand on my head and propped his head with his right fist. 'Master's so strong…' The feeling in the room made me purr uncontrollably, I liked it. It was strong and it made me feel comfortable to know that I had such a strong master looking after me.

I stepped away from Master and slipped to sit in front of Young Master.

"It's a shame but…" Young Master's fingers gently massaged my scalp. "… This is "Game Over.""

Young Master said allowing Master to slaughter the man in front of us. I pouted lightly at not being able to do it myself. I would have loved to rip those shiny things out of his face and see what they were.

I walked beside Master as he carried Young Master back to the manor.

"Mr. Sebastian! Welcome back!" The three servants welcomed.

I clutched lightly to the side of Master's coat. He is my master.

"We've returned." He told them.

Suddenly the trio surrounded us, "Mr. Sebastian! What's happened to your clothes?!"

Meirin's scream was followed by Bard and Finnie's.

"Sebastian! You Bastard! I didn't get your instructions at all!" The cook looked ready to kill Master. I glared at him just begging him to try something. Not only would I get to keep him away but I would get to feel my claws dig into flesh again if he did.

"Young Master Ciel is injured!" Finnie looked ready to cry, I didn't like the thought of him crying for some reason. I looked at him and pouted a bit, my previous blood lust toward the cook dying out.

"We just tripped while we were out." Young Master lied, no one tripped that I remember.

Bard got closer and continued screaming, hadn't I heard enough screaming for today? He opened his mouth and screamed again, "What the hell?!"

I was about to hiss at the male when a smiling Finnie cut me off, "That big hug is like "Upsie Daisy." Looks fun!" He squealed.

Young Master pushed himself from Master's arms and hit the slightly older male on the head.

My attention was brought back to Master and Bard.

"I was so worried I couldn't get anything done!" Bard snapped. My eyes narrowed even more.

"So you really did nothing." Master said angrily. The hiss that had been building in my throat finally left and Master turned. He didn't seem to notice my reaction though. "Young Master. Please forgive my behavior." He started, my head tilted to the left and my ears twitched that way too. "I have made a grave error as the Phantomhive butler…. How might I ever compensate for it?"

My head tilted to the right and I mewed. The servants besides Tanaka seemed confused as well.

"Today's supper preparations have been left completely unfinished." He finished speaking with a rather depressed sounding voice.

After dinner, Master put me to bed. "Such a good kitten." He praised, I purred and flicked my tail before curling up to sleep. This was why I loved staying with my two masters, they both praised me like I had never been before.

Next Morning

Master and I walked into the kitchen. "What are you all doing?" He asked the three others in the room who were in a pile on the floor.

"Ah… Mr. … Sebastian…" They muttered.

Master's aura changed and I slipped behind him to hide since I didn't want to get in the way of his wrath.

"You people… ALL YOU DO IS LOAF ABOUT! IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH FREE TIME, DO SOME WORK ALREADY!" He yelled.

Once the maid, gardener and cook had left, I cuddled Master's arm in an attempt to calm him. It worked slightly and he sighed.

"Really now… Why do they always make such a fuss…?" He seemed slightly shocked by something but smirked, "Ah…"

He sighed and pet my hair which made me purr happily. I enjoyed his kind touches.

A bell rang meaning that the Young Master needed tending to. Master folded the newspaper and tossed it before beginning to leave with me on his heels.

"My my, I wonder what he requires this time, coming Melody?" He asked me with a smile.

I purred happily, "Master! Y-yes!"

He turned to look at me over his shoulder and held one finger to his lips.

"Shh~" He cooed gently.

Well there it is. There were a few more changes in here but I made sure to put in who was speaking in most cases and left some out in fear of being too repetitive. Second one today so I'm hoping that I can edit two chapters a day and get up to where I left off. Thanks again for reading!

Edit 6\28\14:

So uh… you may have noticed that this chapter became more gruesome than if you've read it previously but I thought that it might be a good idea to show how Melody can get. Plus since I am off my medication I am able to focus better on the details like that.

If you've read this chapter before and have read it again would you please let me know what you think of the new changes? Thank you very much.
