A /N:

Swearing & some gun violence. Also, some lime! There's a really bad thunderstorm here at the moment. So, I want to get done with thus and post it- I can't waist time using the grammar software that I usually run every chapter through. I'll do it later. Promise. I'm sorry. I hope you like this chapter!

Chapter #4 - Demon x Human Relations

.

Several Weeks Later- 3:32 AM:

Sebastian was sitting in his room beside the window- with the cat-paw gloves being squished between his fingers. He was in something that he was sure could be classified as "heaven" as he thought of holding a cute, fluffy, kitty. The butler knew where everyone in the house was, most were asleep... At the moment, though, he sensed that demonic energy, once again. Over the last month and a half he had noticed the presence of a demonic energy that was not his own. It seemed to be around, or near Mey-Rin, when he sensed it. And annoyingly familiar, at that. Like it was at this moment. Whatever or whomever, it was, was stalking her tonight, he was feeling a strong sense of hatred from the maid as well, So he assumed that she was aware of it.

Whatever it was.

Currently, she was up on the rooftop. It was her night for guarding the area: watching the wooded stretch of land that surrounded the young Earl's home.

Sebastian felt a pressure that was the disturbance of the air that he felt whenever he saw someone shoot a gun, and he sighed. She had just shot at someone... Or, some-THING. Meaning something was wrong on the roof.
He put the gloves down and dematerialized from his seat, appearing on the roof, right behind the girl.

"-ackass! STAY DEAD! God-damnit! Can't I ever get rid of you, you bastard Demon! DIE You Sonofabitch!"

She was shouting. This caught Sebastian's immediate interest. However, as soon as he had fully appeared on the rooftop with her, the young assassin spun around, and shot her gun. He dodged it easily (though she was sure it had to have grazed his left cheek) as realization finally shone in her eyes.

"My... What language. Do be careful where you point that, Mey-Rin!"

He said with an arched eyebrow. She blinked with wide eyes, watching despite the darkness, as the scratch on his cheek healed right away. He took a step in her direction and found her right handgun resting between his eyes just above his nose. She was tired of her *Father's* strange games. This couldn't be Mister Sebastian! He was human, not a monster! But, as she looked at him, and as he was calmly watching her... Her hand faltered at pulling the trigger... What if it was Mister Sebastian?

"Who are you?"

She demanded with her finger ready to pull the trigger. She couldn't hurt her demonic sire (though, she would DEARLY love to do so) but it sure as hell felt damn good shooting the bastard. The man looking at her opened his mouth to say something, but closed it frowning. He looked behind her. And, without looking, she swung her left gun hand around and felt it rest against flesh. She looked then- seeing her father. She glanced between him and Sebastian.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

She glanced at Sebastian, who was now glaring at her father. She couldn't take this anymore. Backing away from the both of them, with her guns still trained on them - She wasn't watching where she was going, and her foot slipped. She didn't even have time to cry out as she started to fall. She didn't have time to let go of her guns, either, before both demons were jumping to rescue her. Her *Father*: because she was of his blood, and he didn't want to have to breed with ANOTHER human female, in order to sire another child. But he had been ordered to make sure that some of his bloodline mingled with that of the humans. Orders were orders!
Sebastian, however: wasn't exactly sure WHY he was jumping to save the red-head. Aside from the fact that he thought looking for, and hiring, another maid/body-guard would be a real bother. She looked up, each male had her by her wrist (her *Father* had her left wrist- and her *Co-worker* had her right wrist). The men were glaring at each other, though. Her guns were still pointing at the face of each male.

"Let go of my daughter."

Snarled her sire. At that, she snorted.

"You only care about that when you want to torment me, you bastard demon!"

She snapped, and pulled the trigger. She shot him right in the eye. It didn't last very long, though. She and Sebastian watched as the eye gushed blood, then reformed as it pushed the bullet back out of his skull. Still, he held her wrist in a vice-like grip. She made an annoyed sound and shot him a few more times in the face. The same thing happened.

"I can bite that hand off, if you'd care to keep doing that..."

Her *father* offered, morphing his face into that of a canine's. Her answer was-

"I don't give a damn! I'll just beat you senseless with the bloody stump if you do, you stupid bastard!"

-And she shot at him again. At that, Sebastian started laughing despite himself.

'She's too much!'

Sebastian thought as her father glared at him with his dog face. The butler tightened his hold on the girl's wrist as he glared at the dog/man, then gently took her gun from the hand he held. He lay the gun beside himself, then looked at her *father*.

"Lord Labolas, Just Let go of her, or she'll keep shooting you..."

He said to her father, still half-laughing. The dog/man/demon growled, and as Sebastian helped Mey-Rin get a grip on the roof with the hand that he'd had ahold of. Labolas spoke to Sebastian-

"I'll thank you to leave my relationship with my child alone, Mephist-"

"Ah~ Don't you DARE use my true name."

He snapped at her *father* as he was reaching for the hand that was still threatening to shoot Labolas. That's when the demonic father suddenly took the complete form of a dog with wings and lunged at Sebastian. Mey-Rin, having suddenly been released from the grip of both men, cried out. She dropped her second gun and scrambled desperately, for a handhold on the roof as her legs kicked the air for something to push her up with...

"Mister Sebastian!"

She finally screamed as she fell. She landed on one of her legs, and her back, with an ear shattering scream that echoed through the silent night's air. Every light in the house, where a person resided, flared to life. Labolas vanished, just before attempting to rip out Sebastian's throat. The ruffled butler dematerialized from where he lay on the roof with bleeding wounds. To kneel beside the sobbing maid. She was clad in her black assassin's garb as she lay, unable to move- in the grass. Just then, all the servants, and the young earl came running out from the house.

"Sebastian! What's happened?! What's the meaning of this?!"

Shouted Ciel. Tanaka and Snake were standing slightly behind him and to the side. Finny and Bard, also in their bed-clothes, came running over to where Sebastian knelt beside the maid. Both started to reach for her. But the butler stopped them. She had crawled partway into his lap, still crying in pain, from her fall. She clutched at his pants and her body shook with agony.

"What's the deal?!"

Bard demanded, as Finny started crying just because Mey-Rin was. Sebastian looked at all of them, then he sighed heavily.

"Her back might have been broken. Her leg is most certainly broken."

"What the hell happened, though?!"

Bard asked. Everyone was watching and waiting. Sebastian eyed Ciel. The boy didn't know if he should OK him to explain or not.

"We should worry about what happened, later,"

Said Ciel.

"How are we to move her?"

He asked Sebastian. The butler frowned. He could materialize her into the house, with very little movement to her battered body. But not with the lot of them watching him.

"I can get her inside, My lord."

He said, ignoring Bard's outraged:

"You can?! By yourself?!"

Ciel looked at Sebastian then nodded.

"Very well. Everyone come inside with me. We need to prepair to keep her comfortable until we can get the doctor here..."

Reluctantly, and after a few protesting comments, everyone followed the teen into the house. Sebastian was left with Mey-Rin. He looked at the shivering woman with her head partly in his lap, she glanced up at him.

"You are likely able to tell, Mey-Rin. Where is the worst pain?"

She whimpered.

"M... My leg. My... L-low... Lower back h... H-hurts..."

"Close your eyes, I'm going to get you inside."

She smiled weakly.

"You're a demon too... Aren't you, Mr. Sebastian...?"

He gave her a startled look. A trickle of blood trailed out of her nose and from one of her eyes. Before he could respond, her eyes rolled back in her head, and she went limp against his thigh. He swore softly, and materialized her into the first floor sitting room. He rested her on the lounge there. Her vitals were rapidly dropping dangerously low. He looked around, then. Finally: doing the only thing he could think to do- he took his glove off of his hand partially. Then he sank his fangs into the flesh of his wrist. He sealed his lips around the holes he'd made. Then- once the holes had resealed themselves, he removed his mouth and looked at the passed out girl as some of the blood he'd collected in his mouth, trickled out the corner of his lips. He hoped that she was really part demon, as he assumed by her interactions with Glasya-Labolas, and the bastard demon had called her his child... If she wasn't... Well... Then, what he was about to do would surely kill her. Gripping her chin, he leaned forward and forced her mouth open with his tongue then held her down as he allowed the blood that he had in his mouth from his wrist, to flow into her. He knew it had to burn. She fought the act.

Her body jerked almost violently as a scream sounded in the back of her throat. He opened his eyes, as his tongue swiped into her mouth to make sure the blood completely left his own. Then he saw her eyes were open. And, just as his own likely were, he found her eyes glowing a deep blood-red. As he released her mouth, he rested his ungloved hand over her eyes and whispered in her ear:

"Sleep..."

And her eyes slid closed.

By the time the others made it into the room, some time later, he had re-set her badly broken leg, and was sitting in a chair watching her sleep. Thankfully, he'd cleaned up the blood from her eye, nose, and from where it had escaped both of their lips to trail down her cheek.

Ciel pulled him aside and asked him what the hell had happened, as everyone waited for the doctor. Scotland yard would likely be notified by the blasted doctor! That was not something that Ciel was all too happy about. Sebastian omitted telling his young master about the little transfusion he'd just done for Mey-Rin, and about the presence of Lord Labolas... He also did not tell Ciel about the fact that their little maid's father was one of the demon earls of hell. Labolas, was a very old demon lord, like Sebastian was (though, much older than Sebastian).
The ranking system in their world was strange- Sebastian ranked, both- above, and below, Glasya-Labolas. Since Labolas was one of the 72 spirits (angelic and demonic- that had served King Solomon) and Sebastian was NOT. At the same time under his real name, Sebastian also outranked Labolas in a different part of the demon hierarchy, while not doing so in the 72. No matter how you looked at it, though, Labolas was the demon responsible for Sebastian becoming a demon, in the first place. That was during the reign of Labolas' first master: King Solomon. Sebastian was now chained to the supreme ruler of hell thanks to their little maid's father. And Sebastian had, had no way to get free, finally he'd given into his demon urges and completely become what he had originally hated.
Now on top of that, he was corrupting Mey-Rin. The last remaining part of him that, deep down, remained human: hated himself for it all. After Ciel's questioning, the doctor arrived and so did the good detective from the yard. Everyone was questioned over and over, while the doctor examined the assassin.

Finally, the doctor said she would be fine, with a few weeks worth of rest, she just had a broken shin and that had been "expertly" set, by the butler. He was asked about her back and any other injuries she might have sustained, but the doctor shook his head. He said that her leg was the only issue, that she was now awake and very alert. At that- Sebastian glanced somewhat nervously into the sitting room. The action was not missed by Ciel- as the butler went on to ask:

"You said she was awake?"

The doctor stopped talking, and looked at Sebastian. After a moment, and a look of realization crossed the doctor's face:

'They must be lovers...'

The doctor concluded, he smiled then nodded.

"Yes, she was actually asking about you, anyway, you may go and see her, if you would like."

He said, assuming that he was "Sebastian", since he was young enough to be her lover, and not the other butler... Sebastian nodded and looked at his young lord. Rolling his eyes, Ciel waved him off. He would figure out what the bothersome demon was up to with the maid, soon. And he would find out what he did to her, she had healed FAR to fast, by human standards. Sebastian took Ciel's annoyed expression in, then he left as the teen waved him off. Once he got to the sitting room with Mey-Rin, he found her sitting up on the lounge he had laid her on earlier. As he walked in, she looked up, he saw a flash of annoyance in her redish-hazel eyes. He walked over and knelt before her.

"How are you, Mey-R-"

He stopped talking as she suddenly kissed him- pulling him towards her. He did not react. She released him. They watched each other quietly for a few minutes. Due to the still high amount of adrenaline rushing through her body, she was feeling braver, and more bold than was the norm, for her.

"I take it that you remember all of what you heard and saw, earlier?"

He finally asked. She nodded.

"How am I not dead from a fall like that?"

"I-"

"Sebastian! My study! NOW!"

Snapped Ciel, as he walked past the sitting room. Sebastian sighed, then looked at Mey-Rin.

"We need to talk. I will stop by your room to do so, once I have attended to whatever the young master requires."

She nodded.

'Does the young master know what really happened? Does he know that Mister Sebastian is a demon? Does he know what Mister Sebastian did to help me?!'

At that thought, she remembered the feel of his lips on hers, his tongue in her mouth as he forced her to swallow the blood.

'And, what was that anyway?! What did he DO? Why? How? I'm so bloody confused!'

She wanted to scream from frustration, but, her face turned red, as she flashed back to that memory... His lips were so soft- she whimpered, as she felt a nose bleed start. Meanwhile, Bard and Finny came into the room.

"The young master said we should help you to your room!"

Said Finny as Bard eyed Mey-Rin. She had her hands over her nose and was nearly as red as her hair.

"What's with you?"

He demanded as Finny scooped the girl into his arms and effortlessly carried her up the stairs, Bard, ever suspicious, followed close by. She seemed fine. But he was sure her back would have to be broken after that fall. Something was definitely weird here.

"Nothing."

She said, fishing in a pocket of her clothes, in order to get her glasses, couldn't find them though. She looked at Bard, over the younger boy's shoulder.

"I was just trying to remember what I did with me glasses. That I was!"

She said, offering the older man a smile that he knew was likely fake. But, he figured that he wasn't likely, going to be able to get her to answer him honestly, when she obviously did not want to. Sighing softly, he handed her the glasses.

"I picked them up for you after you fell."

He explained. She beamed a real smile at him and hugged him, kissing his cheek.

"You're so sweet! Thank you!"

"Yeah..."

He muttered and gave up his curiosity for the time being.

Ciel's Study:

"I ORDER you, Sebastian, to tell me everything that happened."

The demon had hoped that he wouldn't do that.

"Very well, then. Where would you have me start?"

He asked in a resigned tone of voice.

"The roof."

Sebastian nodded, and started from there, telling the young earl about everything that had happened from the moment he appeared on the roof - to Mey-Rin falling.

"You mean to tell me-"

Ciel said, as the butler finished everything.

"- That Mey-Rin knows what you are. That there is another demon lurking around her and it is her FATHER?!"

"That's the gist of it, my lord: Yes."

"And this demon knows you, how?"

"He is the creature who tricked me into selling my soul, originally. Turning me into what I am today."

"What were you, before?"

"I'd rather not tell you about my life as a human."

Ciel eyed him, then nodded. Not that Sebastian could actually remember much of it... Though...

"Very well."

He sat and thought for a few minutes.

"You are certain that she will not tell anyone?"

Sebastian nodded.

"Very much, so, my lord."

The boy nodded.

"Thank you, you may return to your room, now."

The boy said, with a heavy sigh. The demon nodded and left.

Mey-Rin woke up several hours after being deposited in her room, to a gentle touch on her forehead. Her eyes snapped open, and she found Sebastian leaning over her with a hand on her flesh, just under her bangs.

"I should have just left when I saw you sleeping..."

He said but she stopped him from leaving.

"I don't need any concern. I know that doesn't come cheaply to demons- does it?"

He eyed her.

"Indeed- it does not."

He said but stayed where he was. They eyed each other a few minutes, more.

"You did something to heal me... Didn't you?"

"I did."

"What?"

"I think you would rather not know."

Her eyes narrowed, she reached for her gun, but found her hands pinned to her bed, and, when she looked at him she found Sebastian just inches from her face. That's when a memory seemed to surface. She remembered a metallic taste, and the feel of lips on her lips. And a tongue inside her mouth... And his eyes glowing brightly red, as he had-

Suddenly, she leaned the last inch or so and she kissed the startled demon. He started to pull away from the blushing girl... But, her hands gripped his own, to keep him from pulling away. Finally, after a minute, he groaned, and kissed her back- he was quickly taking control of the kiss as his tongue worked it's way between her lips. Gasping softly, she released his hands and her fingers trailed up to his jaw. He was leaning further into her, until, finally she felt herself held firmly against the bed. She cried out, arching her chest into his hand as he squeezed the mound of flesh under her sleep clothes. He kissed his way down her throat as his hand started to unfasten her top.

"Mister Sebastian..."

She gasped, not noticing the glowing red of the demon's eyes. He paused, his lips against the swell of her breast as he spoke.

"Are you alright with this, Mey-Rin?"

She shivered and slid a hand into his hair.

"Y... Yes..."

She half whimpered.

"Even though you are aware of what I am?"

He pressed.

"Demons rarely do this out of love..."

He pointed out. She nodded, watching the ceiling.

"I figured as much. And, I'm the child of a demon and a human... I don't care, anymore..."

She said.

"What if you were to become pregnant?"

He asked, lifting his head to look at her fully. She looked sad.

"I can take herbs, to keep me from conceiving."

She had wanted a child with Logan. But, that never worked out for her. His eyes were still glowing. She took note of it, and started unfastening his shirt. That was her answer to him. Leaning up, she claimed his mouth in a hungry kiss as he started undressing her further. He had to keep reminding himself that she was still injured, so that he didn't harm her further.
