Chapter 6: That Demon; Reminisced
"Master…." Kagome began, hesitance thick in her voice.
"Hm?" He acknowledge, inwardly amused at his… guard`s curiosity.
"My, haven't seen your kind for quite some time…" The unknown, mysterious man drawled, eyeing Kagome like a rare specimen displayed on an ongoing exhibit.
"…This is my first time face to face with YOUR kind actually.." She admitted, her eyes taking in the man seated in front of her master.
"Back to the topic on hand.." Her master interjected, successfully garnering both supernatural creatures` attention.
"Kagome, he`ll be your partner in the meantime.. He`ll help you rid of the evidence often left out in the open.. After all, the queen very much prefer to have her missions clean of any holes.."
The female demon blinked, looking at the grinning shinigami in front.
"Soooo… I wont be going on a mission alone anymore?" She asked her master who nodded in affirmative.
"I look forward on working with you doggy…" She huffed at the unwanted endearment, quite reluctant about this partnership issue.
"Just don't get in my way four-eyes.." Vincent merely watched the two bicker in amusement.
Their first meeting…
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Kagome grunted as she evaded a blow directed towards her shoulder. Looking at her partner, she couldn't see him for he was swarmed just as she, the only thing indicating he was indeed alive were the random flashes and glints his scythe was emanating.
A pained yelp escaped her mouth when a spear broke her defences. Gasping out the precious crimson coloured liquid, she narrowed her eyes as her clawed hand reached for the spear skewering her in the stomach.
She wasn't fast enough though, faster than she could blink, a sword flashed through her line of sight, aiming to slash her in the face. Her eyes flashed red, panic swelling in as the weapon came closer as the spear merely held her in place.
A flash of silver and black jumped in front.
An alarmed shout spewed forth her mouth as she recognized his leather claded back. Her beast reacting to her emotions, it burst forth, youki lashing out wildly as he shook off the fatal injury slashed diagonally at his face.
Her pupils dilated the moment he hunched down, his other hand instinctively flying up to grasp the immediately bloody face.
Memories of battle and comrades dying flashing inside her hectic mind, she snapped.
With her beast unleashed, they won the gruelling fight in a minute point blank.
Rushing blindly when she saw him kneel, clutching his wounded face, she immediately sat in front of him, her heart beating wildly as blood healthily drip from the gap of his slender fingers.
"You.. Idiot.." She whispered, her hand gently prying his away from the gaping wound that nearly sliced his face in half. He obliged, and what she saw made her despising her weakness.
His left eye was damaged because of the slash, his other one barely open at the amount of blood in it.
He had been fighting with only one eye this whole time.
He grinned, ignoring the fatal wound marring his handsome face. He raised a black nailed hand and laid it on top of her hand cupping his bloody cheek, leaning his face against her palm.
"Don't worry doggy…. It`ll heal in no time."
His bloody grin made her almost crying. She bit her lip, blaming herself about his injury. Her past resurfacing, times where she was weak, useless… Unwanted.
Both of his eyes were closed by now.
"Don't move… Alright?" she mildly instructed, he shrugged in return.
Almost borderline afraid, she dipped her head. Not long after, her tongue darted forth, gently lapping at the wound as she felt it slowly knitting the skin together. Inwardly, she breathed a sigh of relief, now knowing that her yokai healing attributes works on him.
She felt him tense, his grin faltering, but she continued. Dragging her tongue across the injury as blood pooled inside her mouth.
It tasted sweet.
The healing saliva worked quite surprisingly, her not knowing it`ll even worked when used on different apparitions. Kagome felt the injury healing, his damaged eye reverting back to its shining glory.
After knowing she had healed enough, she drew back, only to see him staring at her with his pair of newly healed iridescent orbs.
Ignoring the barrelling embarrassment in her gut, she sigh deeply in relief, her form relaxing against the soiled earth.
"It worked…" She whispered, a clawed hand pushed against her eyes.
"It worked.." She repeated, lips trembling. Her hand tightened around her face, the amazing feeling of relief and accomplishment overwhelming her.
"It worked…" At this rate, glistening tears were running down her face, slipping past her fingers in a rapid state.
Suddenly, she felt someone grasp her hand, pulling it away from her face.
She was met with a terribly scarred face.
Horror replaced relief.
Her hands darted to draw his face closer, azure, frantic eyes tracing the jagged scar plastered on his face. She started trembling…
"No, no, no, no, no.." Kagome was in near hysterics, the weight of his scar crushing her conscience mercilessly.
They`ve been working for years and none of this had happened before… Why did it happen now?
But instead of the blame she was sure she would soon hear sooner or later, her apologies were silenced when her lips became occupied.
That's as clear as an 'I forgive you' as it could get.
Now, whenever she sees that scar, she never failed to make her face the colour of crimson red.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
There was a ball currently happening inside the Phantomhive mansion, a party held to look for some possible candidate as the Phantomhive`s lady.
Kagome had to laugh at the sour look on her eighteen years old master`s face. Despite his regal stature, he`s still nothing but a child in her eyes. Jumping slightly when she felt a hand slither at the small of her back, she turned to the side and saw a pair of amused glowing green eyes.
"Don't do that.." She chastised the nonchalant man. He shrugged in return, not removing his hands from her back.
She didn't took it off either.
Kagome watched him from her peripheral vision, he was not wearing his glasses, a feat in itself. As usual, he clads himself with nothing but black, silver hair contrasting majestically with the stark material.
Almost as if he was well aware that she was watching him –ogling is the perfect word actually-, his green eyes slanted in her direction with no warning whatsoever.
She yelped in embarrassment, her hidden tail bristling in shock.
He chuckled.
"Oh, look, it seems that Vincent`s eyes had caught someone rather pretty.." She blinked at his sudden change in topic. Looking at where she had last seen her master, her azure eyes twinkled with interest when she saw the aforementioned master conversing with a girl clad in a simple yet elegant gown, sun kissed hair tumbling down in curls.
A hm of agreement escaped her throat, approving her master`s taste in a woman.
"She`s pretty.."
"You`re prettier doggy.."
"…Shut it four eyes...
…
…
…
Really?"
He laughed.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
"Sooo…" Kagome began, quite awkward with the situation she was currently placed in. He tipped his head back, a notion for her to continue.
"You`re… Going away?" She finished lamely.
"I wouldn't call it that way doggy… Think of it as a, long term assignment.." He answered back, signature grin in place.
Her brows knitted, quite irked that she will be once more, partnerless. Her master gave him a command to go undercover, a business quite suited for him while rich with information as well.
Quite a combo, really..
Kagome pouted unknowingly.
"Oh hush…" He gathered her in his arms, tightening his limbs, her body almost melting with his.
She leaned in, but she didn't return the action whatsoever. Kagome doesn't want him to go.. She had this feeling, her instincts telling him to not let him go.
"Don't act as if you wont see me again…"
She wont. Not for a very long time.
"You can always visit you know."
She cant.
"Vincent will drop by, you can come with him.."
He would never have the chance to…
"You can introduce me to the young master…"
Ciel would meet him… But she`s not going to be there..
"Come visit ok? I have something important to tell you…"
He was not able to tell her anything…
"Be careful.."
That night, the Phantomhive mansion was reduced in nothing but ashes…
