A/N: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a hen? A hen?! No bird nor plane nor even hen - just little ole' me...CHAPTER TEN.

I probably should've figured out a way to make that less dorky...

Well whatever *shrugs* this chapter probably has the word "smirk" and "blush" in it way too many times. But I guess that's what you get with a Sebastian and Cassie chapter :P

I TRIED to make this chapter shorter for the lovely Nightwing1104, but it didn't work ;A; ONE OF THESE DAYS!

We're onto DOUBLE DIGITS now! X'D

Anyways, some strange and pervy stuff is happening in this chapter. Maybe Cassie isn't ALL that prudish~!

ONWARDS~!

Chapter Ten
Bathing and Scathing

The scent of soap swept merrily through the air as Cassie sat on the bed. Well, she wasn't really sitting. She was laying down. And she wasn't necessarily laying down, she was more curled up in a fetal position. She was also hiding under the blankets.

"Miss Cassandra, your bath is almost prepared." Sebastian's voice called from the bathroom, the words echoing a little off the tile. Cassie simply ducked down more thoroughly into the blankets and tightened them around her.

As soon as the two made it into the room, Cassie had dashed towards the bed and done as she was doing now. Sebastian, amused as ever, had simply sighed and headed towards the bathroom. But not before reminding her she'd have to come out at one point or another.

"Miss Cassandra." Sebastian's voice appeared right above her, causing her to roll away in her mass of blankets away from the source.

She heard him chuckle and was annoyed that she was entertaining him. There was silence for a few seconds before she felt breathing right above her blanket covered ear. She shivered at the warmth of it and attempted scooting away again.

Unfortunately, Sebastian decided not to let her. Remembering that he decided to play with her a little, he sat right down on the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist. He easily pulled her up off the bed and lying in his lap, the action swept the blankets off of the upper half of her body down to her waist.

With the blankets still around her legs, she couldn't do much except for struggle helplessly to get away. Cassie heard Sebastian chuckle again and focused her attention on glaring at him.

"This isn't funny." She said, frowning and crossing her arms over her chest.

Sebastian sighed with a smirk and lightly caressed her arm whilst looking straight into her eyes.

"I suppose you're right. Not for you at least." He said, smirking widely at the blush that quickly arose on her cheeks.

"H-hey! What are you doing?" She said, cursing herself for stuttering.

"Enjoying myself, Miss Cassandra. Now, for your bath." He said simply.

Before she could react, he had picked her up. The blanket fell from her as she was pressed against the front of his body. On instinct, she wrapped her legs around the butler and tried not to blush deeper at the satisfied chuckle that came from him.

"Stop messing with me." She ordered, looking furious and flustered.

Sebastian didn't answer, simply set her down once in the bathroom and shutting the door behind them. He turned to look at the pink haired girl who was blushing and angry with her head turned away from him.

"Miss Cassandra, it's time for your bath." He said with an evil smirk.

"Then get out so I can bathe." She said, still refusing to look at him.

"As I said, I'll be helping you." His smirk didn't let up as he advanced forward with a darkly humored look in his eyes.

In a blink of an eye he had somehow unbuttoned the back of her maid's dress, causing her to jump away at the sudden coolness of the air. She yelped a little and pressed herself against the bathroom wall.

"D-don't you dare come any closer!" Cassie exclaimed, trying to melt into the wall as he stalked forward.

In another second, the apron of her dress was across the floor and her sleeves were off. He'd somehow pulled them off her arms, so they hung uselessly connected to her dress.

She was left to desperately clutch her chest, which was covered in the black bra she'd been wearing earlier. Sebastian hummed to himself as he noticed the article of underclothes. He'd seen them earlier when he changed her into her dress and decided for her privacy to leave them on, but he was curious as to what exactly it was for in modern times.

He'd also seen the small things covering her rear end, made of black fabric. They both seemed to be underclothes of some sort. He figured the lower article of clothing made sense for the tight jeans she'd been wearing earlier that clung to her legs. If she'd been wearing the several petticoats or this time's underclothes, they'd be obvious to the eye and quite uncomfortable he'd assume.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he quick as lightning had her dress pulled to the ground and pooled around her feet. Cassie shrieked and Sebastian couldn't help the pink glow of his eyes as he saw her.

She stood, vulnerable as a puppy, in just her bra and panties with her knee high boots and her arms awkwardly trying to cover everything. Helplessly, she sunk to the ground so her knees would cover her chest and torso. Her arms covered whatever showed of her lower regions.

Nothing could hide the tomato red blush on her face.

Cassie refused to look at the butler, which was well as he was trying to control the demonic gleaming of his eyes. He noted how difficult it was to finally return his eyes to the usual shade of dark red and lightly troubled himself over why.

With a mental shrug, he kneeled down to the pink haired girl's height and smirked when she finally looked at him.

Her eyes were set in a bashful way, wide and innocent. Yet, he didn't miss the slowly dulling fiery anger that loomed in them. She resembled a furious doe who'd gotten caught in a trap she could never dream to get out of.

He crouched on his knees and started unlacing her boots, leaving Cassie to simply glare and blush. After he unlaced them he slowly pulled them off her legs, setting them to the side.

When he turned to face her, she looked away once again and pouted. He smirked and picked her up from under her arms and pressed her against him. He placed his hand in the small of her back as she struggled to figure out what had just happened.

She yelped at the feel of his gloved hands against her bare skin and wrapped her arms around his neck and down to his back where she stayed.

Her body was fitted onto his, her legs being forcibly wrapped around his torso. She rested her head angrily on his shoulder so she wouldn't have to look at his smirking face.

Cassie sighed in defeat when he started walking towards the tub but was slightly surprised to see him lean leisurely against the wall. She faced the tiled wall, still resting her chin on his shoulder, and wondered what he could possibly be doing.

Sebastian smirked at the confused tensing of her body and pressed his hand against her back. She froze and he smirked wider, chuckling a little. He slowly moved his hand to her upper back, vaguely noticing the goosebumps he left behind.

Seeing how the back of the odd contraption worked, he soundlessly unbuckled the back of the bra and waited for the pink haired girl's reaction.

It seemed to take her a few seconds to realise what had happened. She felt her breasts less confined against her chest and the loosening of the straps. A blush flooded to her face before she fully understood what had happened.

"W-what?! What are you -? Hah! Get off!" She sputtered. Gasping a little when he started pulling the straps off in the middle of her talking.

He chuckled and discarded the bra. She used one of her arms to desperately cover her now exposed chest. She shrieked in anger and used her other arm to pound mercilessly against his back. Embarrassingly enough, this action caused a thrusting type of action against the butler's torso.

Once again, his eyes turned to their demonic state and he had to close his eyes and set her down. Her knees buckled a little and she found herself grabbing onto the butler's waist in order to not completely plop onto the ground.

She sat in a squatting position with on hand gripped onto Sebastian's waist, her other arm covering her breasts with a large blush on her face.

If things couldn't get worse, the door suddenly crashed open. Finny, who must've busted open the door, and Ciel came running through the door.

"Sebastian! What the bloody hell is going -!" Ciel started, but stopped mid-sentence when he saw their position. He blushed bright red and his eye widened considerably. He walked silently out of the room while Finny continued standing there, looking confused.

He didn't get that it looked like Cassie was about to give Sebastian a blow-job.

"Mister Sebastian, what are you...?" He started before Sebastian opened his eyes, back to their normal coloring.

"Finny, I'm in the process of giving Cassie a bath right now. If you would please go assist the Young Master while my hands are full I'd be very grateful." He said in the most professional way.

Finny instantly broke out into a large grin and nodded, "Of course, Mister Sebastian!" He saluted and hurried to Ciel, shutting the door behind him.

Cassie, who'd frozen in embarrassment, snapped out of her daze and looked quickly at Sebastian. The look of exasperation left his face and a new one replaced it.

"No. No, no, no, no, no." She started to say as he advanced towards her nearly naked form. A smile of pure sadism and victory was set on his face as he pulled her up off of the ground.

"You're bath is getting cold, Miss Cassandra." He said, his evil smirk ruining the professional sentence. As his thumb threateningly hooked through the strap of her underwear.

Cassie's breathing hitched and she tried to find a reason to get him to stop. She knew that no matter what excuse she gave him, he'd brush it off. Yet, a little hope still remained in her pitifully innocent mind.

"Sebastian. Stop." She said with all the seriousness in the world.

She was surprised when Sebastian froze and stepped back, looking as if nothing had happened. He looked her over, with a barely etched frown on his face.

The young woman somehow looked serious with only underwear on, a flushed face, messed up hair, and her arms crossed over her chest in order to leave them unexposed. He smirked at her stoic expression and simply sighed as if bored.

"Let me get into the bath without your horny self stripping me, you little fuck." She said, annoyed and furious beyond belief.

The little doe finally found a way out of the trap, and her fury was about to be unleashed.

Sebastian stopped, shocked at the anger crammed into the sentence. His crimson eyes met angry golden-hazel orbs and he narrowed his eyes, wondering what would come next. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't messing with her just for a reaction.

Slowly, he nodded, and turned around facing the other way. She warily watched him for a few seconds before pulling off her underwear and dipping herself slowly into the bath. As soon as she was submerged enough so that nothing was showing, Sebastian appeared by the tub with a small smirk on his face.

She scowled but blushed nonetheless, trying to keep her racing heart under control. The bubbles in the tub prevented him from seeing anything, but she kept everything covered with her arms just in case.

Sebastian frowned at her tense position and took of his jacket. He wasn't facing her, but he was positive she was watching. He lingeringly pulled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows and faced her once again.

A bright blush had appeared on her face and it looked like she was trying to hold onto her anger in order to not loose control. He smirked devilishly, causing Cassie's heart to race faster, and slowly pulled off his gloves with his teeth.

Cassie fangirl-ed and gasped aloud, feeling embarrassed for being turned on by such a simple thing. The butler smirked at the girl and settled himself behind her outside of the tub.

She heard the sound of soap being poured into his hands and suddenly a cup full of water came down on her head. She gasped in surprise and parted her hair out of the way so she could see. A slight tug on one of her pigtails had the hair tie off, one side of her hair loose from its confines. Sebastian did the same for the other and dumped a cup full of water over her hair again.

Keeping the soap from spilling out of his hand, he eased his fingers into her candy floss hair and started scrubbing. Cassie was surprised at how relaxing it felt, she felt goosebumps on her shoulders and sighed blissfully. She leaned on the back of the tub, giving Sebastian easier access.

Her arms were still crossed over her chest, in case the bubbles spontaneously disappeared, but she was more relaxed and Sebastian noticed. He smirked to himself when he realized he'd calmed down the beast ... or doe. Whichever.

"You know I totally hate you for this." She said, staring straight forward.

"Of course, Miss Cassandra." He said, chuckling a little.

"And what's with the 'Miss Cassandra?' Didn't I tell you to call me -?"

"Cassie." He said interrupting her, "Yes, but I prefer Cassandra. It has a classic ring to it." He said, scrubbing the soap at the nape of her neck and then upwards.

Cassie frowned, "What if I don't care what you prefer? What if I try and force you to call me Cassie?"

"Well then, Miss Cassandra, I reckon you'd be very disappointed." Sebastian said. She didn't miss how obviously he was rubbing her own name in her face.

She harrumphed and tensed her shoulders. Sebastian raised an eyebrow at her suddenly miffed manner but shrugged it off and started scrubbing behind her ears.

He didn't miss how she immediately relaxed. Her arms even came uncrossed from her chest and he could see the top of her breasts as they disappeared into the bubbles and water. He furrowed his eyebrows and pouted curiously.

It seemed she hadn't noticed what she'd done and did it unconsciously, this certain fact brought a smirk to his face. He lathered the soap a little rougher behind her ears and she sighed, closing her eyes in absolute bliss.

Sebastian, to say it in the least, was surprised. He wondered how the uptight girl could unravel so easily with a simple gesture. Unknowingly, he'd scraped his fingernails lightly against the skin he'd been scrubbing and something happened that neither of them were expecting.

Loudly, and rather sensually, Cassie had moaned with her eyes squeezed shut. Sebastian and Cassie both froze. Cassie's eyes widened in embarrassment while Sebastian's widened in shock.

Cassie couldn't recall ever making a sound like that and blushed all the way to her ears. She crossed her arms over her chest again and sat upright. Her body came slightly out of the water, all the way to the tip of her belly button. She was glad she'd covered her chest before doing so.

Her wide-eyed, embarrassed-beyond-belief expression met Sebastian's shocked, slowly-turning-into-mischievious eyes. She saw his surprise right before it morphed into a smirk, she nearly groaned in exasperation.

"My, Miss Cassandra, I didn't know you enjoyed baths this much." He said, messing with her with a devious mask over his still-surprised face. She didn't know why, but when he ran his fingers over a certain spot near her ears, all she could feel was immense pleasure.

Once again, just like in her schooling days, she might as well be compared to a puppy.

"I - I don't know what ha-happened I just..." She stuttered out with wide eyes that just added to the puppy look.

Sebastian chuckled ldarkly, "I'll be sure to use this for future reference."

"Wh-what!? No! C'mon, I just -!"

She was cut off by Sebastian grabbing around her bare, soaking torso and turning her back around swiftly. Cassie squealed when his bare skin met hers, it sent an electric shock through her and she nearly jumped fully out of the water.

Sebastian, too, experienced an odd feeling but wasn't nearly as expressive about it.

Yes, he was surprised but he suppressed it and continued to wash Cassie's hair. For the rest of the bath he didn't do anything out of the ordinary leaving Cassie a little confused and slightly disappointed.

'No, I am not disappointed. I'm relieved! Thank goodness he stopped! But still...' She tried convincing herself the opposite of what she was feeling, and needless to say it didn't work very well.

Sebastian had his eyebrows furrowed in thought the rest of the time. He didn't say anything to Cassie and didn't focus much on anything except the subject in the front of his mind.

He could tell the pink haired girl was slightly put off by his actions but ignored it. He needed to figure out what was making him feel so strange.

As soon as Cassie was clean he left the bathroom, but not before leaving a folded towel near her. She pouted slightly, but got up easily and dried herself off. Once she was done, she wrapped the towel around her headed out into her room. She grabbed a night dress from her closet, brushed through her hair and teeth, and quickly went to sleep.

Sebastian, however, did not have such an easy night. The first thing he did, after making sure his young master was put to bed, was sweep into his room and grab a book out of the drawer in his desk.

To the human eye, it looked like a small planner. In reality it was a large, leather-bound book with a metal insignia pressed on the front. It was locked in a way that only he could get into it and the pages were filled about half-way.

The entire night he searched through the book for why he could be reacting so strangely. He saw a few things that struck to his side effects but couldn't pinpoint it exactly.

He stopped reading when the sun rose and sealed the book away in the drawer. He sighed heavily and changed out of the clothes he'd been wearing yesterday and into new ones.

'I will figure this out eventually.' He vowed to himself before heading out to wake up the other Phantomhive servants.
