Summary: All those with any involvement in the underbelly of London knew of the Phantomhive family. Their second label, "The Queen's Watchdogs", reflected the household's symbol of a black dog. So it is understandable that no other creature would have made a more suitable pet than their insignia come to life...

Beautiful Phantom's A/N: I'll make sure she does it.
Chapter 2: Phantomhive
Looking out the window of the carriage, Kagome wondered what this new home of hers looked like. Small fingers running through the fur around her neck, she turned her head to the side and her blue eyes connected with the dark orbs of her new owner. The smile that had been on his face since after the thugs' deaths, was still going strong and seemed to get brighter the closer they got to their destination. Running her tongue up his cheek eliciting a giggle from him, she mentally smiled at the cute boy as he buried his face into the fur of her chest.
Across from them, Caine Phantomhive allowed a small smile to form on his face. He had never seen his usually composed son this excited about anything, and he felt joy that he was able to help keep him that way. Thinking back to what happened earlier that day, he thanked god that he was saved. Clenching his fist around his cane, he thought of what he would've done to those men if anything had happened to his son. Looking at the dog once more, he was surprised to see it looking at him, and nodding as if in understanding before turning back to his son that was talking to it about something.
Sighing, he chuckled lightly at the strange creature that has found its way into their lives. Hopefully it would stay with them for a long time, because soon it may be the only one Vincent would be able to rely on.
The carriage pulled quickly to a stop and Kagome was in awe at the sight of the huge mansion that sat upon a hill, surrounded by forest. Instantly, she felt right at home. She could hear the birds chirping, calls of raccoons, and few other animals that inhabit the forest surrounding the mansion. There, she'd run free and chase after few creatures, just for fun.
Yes, that place will be a good home.
"Look, look, doggy! That's my home!"
Vincent grinned at the dog and soon begun telling the dog of his mother and his sister and how the servants would sometime mess up and getting scorned by Tanaka. Caine pondered if the dog even knew what his son was saying but judging the look in the dog's blue eyes, she did. As if to confirm his thoughts, the dog barked as if to respond to the boy's words. Running a hand through his hair, the Earl's thoughts then turned to his wife.
He wondered if she would take the news of a dog well, after all he hadn't exactly asked her about this. Of course, he knew that most would be happy that their young master now had a companion. Grimacing, he then remembered Roberto, Vincent's caretaker. The man was very good in what he did, but he did seem to be a very haughty. Smirking at the man's most likely reaction to the dog, sadistic amusement welled up inside of him.
Why he felt this way?
Well it could be the fact that the man in question didn't like dogs.
Tanaka then opened the door for his master, his son, and his new dog to let them out. Caine stepped out and helped down his small boy and he watched as the dog hopped off gracefully, "Welcome to our home." He said to the dog, feeling somewhat silly for talking to a mere dog.
But this is no ordinary dog-that was very clear and he felt it was okay to tell the dog things. The response was wagging of the long, fluffy tail. With that, she followed the father and the son into the mansion as the butler went to take care of the carriage and to bring in the bags and items.
Walking into the mansion, their eyes landed onto the group waiting in the foyer.
"Caine! My dear Vincent! Where have you been?" A woman's voice called out and the dog saw a woman running down the long stair with her blue skirt held up after them, "And who is this little sweet dog?" She asked as she stopped before the trios, and kneeled down disregarding the fact that dirt could easily cling onto her fine garments. Kagome was practically preening at the compliments and pats that she was receiving.
"This is such a beautiful creature, where did you find her?"
Following Vincent up the stairs, Kagome looked back at the servants whom were dispersing to go back to their duties now that they had greeted the returning masters. One man though, was staring at her with a scowl on his face. Apparently this man didn't like dogs, this she determined on how he seemed to glare at her as soon as she came into the manor. Rolling her eyes with a snort, she turned her nose up at the man and continued after the child. She has no time to worry about this man; after all there wasn't much that he was going to be able to do.
She was here to stay, and that was that.
Going down the hallway, she allowed herself to imprint the path to her memory. It wouldn't do for her to get lost in this building, and she didn't feel like having even the slightest possibility that it could happen. "Come in! Here's my room!" Coming to stop right behind the boy, Kagome's eyes almost widened to a comic level as she stared at the large room. Her whole house could basically fit in this room. Or at least the whole top floor anyway, it could fit inside of this room. Walking in while in a daze, she finally let it sink in that she was the personal pet of an aristocratic family.
Vincent came to her side after closing his door, and began patting her head. "This is my room, and now your room! You get to sleep in here with me, because Papa and Mama said it was alright!" Licking his cheek, she smiled at the giggle that came from him. What the child really did amused her.
There was a knock on the door and Vincent got up so to open it, "Sister!"
There stood a young girl with golden hair and blue eyes, wearing pale blue-gray colored dress, her eyes watching the dog, lying on the floor, "Mama said you got a dog…?"
Vincent nodded, "Yep! Wanna pet her?" He dragged her hesitated form over to her.
Frances glared at her older brother, as what he did to her was not proper, but childish curiousity took a hold of her. She wanted to know if the fur was as soft as it looked. Kagome thumped her tail as she took pleasure of the girl petting her back. Soon, Vincent was grinning as his sister was finally laughing as she hadn't been in a long time.
Frances squealed out as Kagome licked her cheek, "Ewww!" She went to wiped it off with a sleeve, but she doesn't seem disgusted. In fact, she seemed delighted with the dog's affection.
"Brother! Do the doggie have a name?" She went to hug the creature and Vincent joined in the hugging fest, leaving the dog somewhat high with the children's affection.
"Nope but I'll know the perfect name for her when the time is right."
"I'd say we name her Isabella!" The dog whimpered loudly in their arms, the large ears flattened.
"Erm, I don't think she'd like that, Frances."
"Aw, why not? It was a pretty name!"
"Would you like to be called Lizzie instead?"
"Ew! Okay, we'll wait for the perfect name." Frances pouted but soon erupted in a giggling fit when their new dog licked her cheek once more.
Some time went by with playing that quickly spent the kids' energy. A knock came and there revealed the same woman Kagome saw earlier standing there, "My, my! Look at you two! Both of you looked like you both had fun with the sweet dog!" Mother laughed at the shape they were in. They were obviously disarranged and grinning largely, "Well, it's time for dinner!" She went to her children so to fix them before she was happy with their look, smiling as they returned to the proper appearance.
"Mama! Can the doggy eat with us?" Frances asked as her mother gathered her up in her arms.
She looked at the eager dog before smiling, "Sure. I don't see why not. Come along, Vincent and the doggy!" Vincent nodded happily and gestured Kagome to follow them. Kagome happily obliged.
After everyone was inside of the dining hall, Kagome was sitting next to the Earl, Caine Phantomhive, as he sat at a head of the table, "Toast to our dog!" He raised a glass of wine and all of his wife, Delilah, and his two, precious children raised theirs as well (Frances and Vincent only had cups of apple juice instead).
"Toast!" They chorused all smiling and break out in a giggling fit when their new pet ended it with a happy howl and a thump of the tail.
Caine patted the dog's head with affection, a grin aglow on his face before removing his hand so to start eating. Tanaka set down a bowl of dog food before Kagome, smiling and gave her a pat before getting up and went about to work. Kagome noticed there was a small steak onto of the kibble and grinned only a dog can do and chow down. Her ears twitched on every word that was being spoken as her new family chatted.
Soon, all meals were devoured and both children were forced to take a bath and to brush their teeth before bed. Kagome then gestured to the butler if she could go outside for a bit and he let her out to let her to do her businesses. When she was ready to come in, Tanaka was there and opened the door for her.
She then went up to her new young master's room, Kagome's ears were high and cocked her head as she heard voices in the study which she presumed to belong her master's father, curious, "Oh, my! So the dog saved Vincent! Oh, thanks goodness!"
That sounded like Delilah, Vincent's mother.
"Yes, viciously in fact…none of the men were left alive."
A chocked sound seemed to come from the woman, and Kagome yawned silently as she waited for the woman's response. "So they were dead?" She could only guess that the man nodded at the question as he continued. "Yes…that is why I believe that she would be a perfect guard dog for the children, as we have no idea if something like this will happen again."
Delilah sighed, and then nodded.
"I agree, and plus she is such an intelligent dog…plus more behaved than one would expect with a stray dog."
Chuckling, Caine looked towards the window facing towards the back of the house. "Things seem to be getting a little more dangerous in London, and I am sure that the Queen will soon have more assignments for me…with their new dog, I can be a little less worried about the kids."
Deciding that she had heard enough, Kagome continued to Vincent's room with a leisurely pace. It seemed that there was something else going on with this family, and she would have to observe a bit more over the time she spends here. Reaching her destination, she pushed the door open with her paw before continuing in. Closing it behind her with her back paw, the woman turned dog looked up towards the bed to see Vincent looking at her from above his blankets.
"Come on! You can sleep up here!"
Patting the bed excitedly, the eldest Phantomhive child watched as his dog hopped onto the bed with no problems and plopped herself down. Running his hands through the fur on her jaw, he leaned his head against her nose and closed her eyes. Kagome didn't move and only closed her eyes as she allowed him to pet her to his heart's content.
"We'll have a lot of fun tomorrow, and maybe you'll tell me your name soon!"
At that, Kagome's eyes opened and she looked at him in surprise. The secretive smile on his face was the only answer she received as he rested his head on his pillow. Placing her head down on the soft comforter, Kagome closed her eyes and decided to think about the strangeness of this boy the next day. While she was letting herself sleep, her ears were up and twitched as she listened out in case something or someone with untoward intentions towards her charge deciding on doing something.
A knock at the door brought Kagome out of her light slumber, and a male's voice came through the door. "Young Master, it is time to wake up." Opening one eye, she then glanced over at Vincent, whom had somehow found his arms wrapped around her neck. Snorting slightly, she began nudging him with her nose causing him to groan. Mentally shaking her head, she watched out of the corner of her eyes as the man known as Roberto was revealed to her eyes from behind the door.
Dark brown orbs stared at the scene in front of him in disdain. What did that mongrel think it's doing sleeping on the young master's bed? Stepping into the room, he went over towards the curtains and opened them to allow sunshine to spill into the dark room. Kagome closed her eyes briefly at the quick change in lighting, but they were back open the second she heard the man come closer to the bed.
"Move you mutt!"
Blue eyes pinned him with a bored stare as she yawned, and kept nudging the small child. She didn't have to deal with this man, and she wasn't going to. Especially not at this time in the morning, because she would most likely just rip his throat out and be done with it. Roberto moved forward, and was about to place his hands on the boy's shoulder when a growl stopped him in his tracks.
He pinned it with a glare and slapped it with the back of his hand, causing the dog to let out a surprised yelp. That was the sound that woke Vincent fully up. He then realized what had happened and glared at his supposed caretaker, "You jerk! What did you do to her?"
Roberto stared at him, not sure of what he had done wrong, "But young master, your dog was being bad."
"Bad? I asked her to sleep with me, you idiot! And you done just made her mad!" Was all Vincent can manage to say out before the dog leapt after him, teeth bared, growl erupting from her throat.
Kagome sunk her teeth into his sleeve and violently tore off the cloth, careful to not draw blood, knowing that if Caine see it, he might kick her off into the street. Roberto yelped and knew it was safer for him to get out of here. This would be a good opportunity to get his master to get rid of that dog, now that he has evidence that she was a violent dog.
"Well, he just gave me a bruise of all things. What a bastard." The woman rumbled out as she stood in the place of where the black dog once was. Vincent blushed and looked away, realizing it was the same woman that saved him from yesterday. Now looking at her in her full glory so to speak, he couldn't help but think that she was very beautiful. He had not seen many people with her features, and the only person he had seen was one of his dad's old associates.
"I can tell that he is going to be a thorn in my side."
Snapping out of his thoughts, Vincent saw that she was now looking at him with her bright blue eyes. Blushing at having the undivided attention of the pretty woman, he diverted his eyes from her naked body. A hand fell onto his head, and he glanced up and lost himself into those unique blue eyes. "You are too adorable kid, and since I am in this form anyway…I might as well tell you my name."
Ruffling his head once more, she cocked her head to her new master and smiled,
"My name is Kagome. Such a pleasure to meet you properly, Master."
Vincent's blush was darken, realizing he was falling deep in those eyes and looked away, "Umm-erm, nice to meet you too!" He spoke a little too quickly as he drove under his cover in embarrassment. He heard Kagome was barking in laughter and thought how nice her voice sounded in his ears.
"Ka-go-me, right? It's a nice name." His voice was muffled from under his cover,
"I never heard of it before."
Vincent felt the weight shifting on his bed, "Well, it's a Japanese name."
Surprised that the cover flew off and he sat up, curiosity shone on his face, "Japan?"
Nodding with a smirk, she leaned toward him and watched in amusement as his face grew a deeper shade of red. "Yes, Japan, otherwise to be known as the Land of the Rising Sun…or Nippon, depending on who you ask." Gulping slightly, Vincent wondered how the woman got here, and it was only when she began answering that he realized that he had voiced his thoughts.
"Well, that is a long story, which I think I should save for another time…if your father doesn't kick me out for tearing up some fabric."
Confused as to what she was talking about, she was instantly in her dog form when the door opened. There stood his father and Roberto, whom had a smug look on his face. Wrapping his arms around Kagome's neck protectively, Vincent frowned at the two men. Kagome was his dog, and he wasn't going to let his Papa throw her out!
"Vincent, did your dog attack Roberto?"
Shaking his head vigorously, he turned a glare towards the scowling man. "He came in here and called her a stupid mutt, and then hit her when she growled at her…Kagome just didn't want him touching me." Roberto's face turned red with anger, while a flash of amusement streaked through the Earl's eyes. "Is that so?" Nodding, he then turned his gaze towards the blue-eyed dog.
"She felt threatened, and so automatically thought that I was being threatened…Kagome didn't bite him, just tore off a bit of his shirt!"
Bringing his hand up, he showed the bit of cloth that she had bitten off from his shirt. The said man was furious. Regardless, he wanted the dog gone!
"Does it really matter if it did, my lord, after all it snapped at me, and who is to say that it won't bite me or anyone else?"
Kagome, not liking the accusations, began growling, and smirked when the man seemed to jump back in fright as she snapped her teeth. Caine Phantomhive brought a hand up to his forehead and sighed. He had known this would've been a problem, but he wouldn't deny that he was very annoyed with what was going on. Unfortunately for Roberto, he wasn't going to get rid of this dog. After all, all the people the dog saw touching Vincent yesterday, she hadn't growled once.
He had noticed that she seemed to watch Roberto more closely than the others though.
That he would have to have someone look into the caretaker's background once more, to see if he missed anything.
"I'm afraid that I'm not able or going to get rid of Kagome…" Looking back at his son as he realized that he had named her, he then brought his attention back to the other man. "I had bought her on behalf of my son, and she seems to already be protective of him…that is something that I find pleasing in a pet for my son."
Roberto had nothing to say after that, but a dark gleam flashed through his eyes as he walked out the door. This caused both Kagome and Caine to decide to keep a very close eye on the man.
Something was going to happen, and while they didn't know what. He was obviously involved.
Caine looked back to his son, as he crawled out of his huge bed with the dog on his side, and smiled, "So you named her Kagome then?"
Vincent ran to his father. He giggled out when Caine gathered him up in his arms, bouncing him up playfully, "Yep! Was it a pretty name, papa?"
"Yes, indeed! But may I ask, where did you hear it from?" Caine pondered and saw a secretive gleam appeared in his eyes.
"That's a secret, papa!" He grinned and Kagome wagged, seemingly smiling.
Caine didn't have a heart to dig deeper after looking at his son's heartfelt smile beaming down to his dog and decided to change subjects, "Well, it's time to get change! It's almost time for breakfast and your mother and Frances cannot wait to greet Kagome."
"Okay!"
The dog barked out as she went chasing after her young master, playing a game of Tag in the backyard. Vincent was squealing out as he was trying to gain some ground between Kagome and himself. So far, he wasn't having any luck, but he knew Kagome was being easy on him.
Tanaka felt his heart warm at the sight of them and had to smile. He watched them dutifully, waiting for the caretaker to return from whatever chores he had to do. Truthfully though, he did not like Roberto. There was something off about him, ever since he first came by on the first day of his job mere three months ago.
Tanaka heard the door opening and Vincent looked at the direction of the sound. He yelped when his huge dog jumped on him, plowing him to the ground. Vincent then squealed out in the laughter, not caring if the dirt was straining his clothes.
At least Tanaka had thought ahead and made him wear playing clothes for the while he was outside. And Vincent was let off the entire day of tutoring, in the sake of playing with his new dog, at his mother's insistence. Pity that Frances had a lesson she cannot avoid however.
"Kagome, get off!"
He laughed as he was playfully pushing off huffing Kagome. Kagome remained difficult and decided to plop herself on him, but she was careful to not to press her full weight on his fragile form. The dog snuffed her face in his neck, her tail wagged wildly. Vincent tried to keep in his giggling fit when he felt the force of air tickling on his skin from her nose.
"Get off of him!"
The familiar voice bellowed out. Kagome rose up her face and growled at the source of that voice she was growing to hate. Vincent rolled his eyes on him and grabbed his dog's neck in a form of a hug so to distract her from that man.
"Sir Roberto, it is obvious they were just playing. Kagome is not harming the young master in any way." The butler said after he stopped Roberto from storming in and to break the pair up.
'What a way to ruin a moment.' Tanaka thought quietly.
Roberto narrowed his eyes at the black dog before looking away in obvious disdain. Kagome snorted at him and moved around so he'd get a good look of her butt, a sign of disrespect, but still remained on her master.
Vincent barked out in a fit of laughter when he saw what she was doing and laughed harder when she shook her butt at his caretaker. Roberto grew red in his face from anger and vowed that he'd punish that dog a good one. He can hear Tanaka stifling his laughter.
"Well, I'll be taking my leave now, and please, Sir, leave them to playing. Understood?" The butler asked, something in his tone made Roberto cringe.
"Yes, sir."
He watched the butler disappearing into the mansion before looking at the boy and his damned dog.
Vincent grinned widely at Kagome, pushing her away was in vain as she was giving him a whole bath of tongue on his face. Neither was noticing the glinting that was reaming off from the boy's caretaker's eyes. Or the fact that Kagome let out a loud yelp when a rough hand forcefully hauled her off from Vincent and landed on the grass with a loud sound.
Kagome went back on the ground her chest from her side and snarling when she saw Vincent in Roberto's grip. Her ears instantly flattened when she saw a gun pointing on her young master's head,
"A very clever mutt, aren't ya? Well, I would shoot you just to pay you back for almost ruining my plans, and ruining my shirt."
She growled when the man walked backward into the forest with a whimpering boy in his arms, "Then come and find me, you little bitch!" He then vanished in the darkness with Vincent crying out to his faithful dog.
"Kagome!"
Kagome was growling and found that Roberto used something that screw up the scent trail and she cannot see beyond the thick coverage of the natural life, no matter how good her eyesight was. For once, she cursed the nature. Looking back at the manor, she then narrowed her eyes in the direction of the forest and she threw back her head to release a chilling howl. This was a promise she was making. She would find this man, and when she did, she was going to tear him and whoever was working with him apart.
The wind picked up, and top of the trees rustled as the shadows started to dance ominously. She saw them with her glowing eyes, the spirits that littered his trail. It would seem that she would once again accept the request of the vengeance and at the same time get her own. With that, she released another howl and disappeared into thin air.
Looking through the reports in front of him, Caine's eyes hardened. Clenching the papers in his hands, he looked up just to see Tanaka walk in. Getting up from his seat, he looked the elder man in his eye. "Have you seen Roberto, Tanaka?" Only for a second confusion colored his face, but then understanding replaced it as a sense of foreboding began to creep on him.
"He was just outside watching the young master play with his new dog…"
Just as he spoke those words, a menacing howl echoed throughout from outside and the two men were instantly on their way outside. It seemed that the man had made his move, and they could only hope that they reach Vincent before anything else could happen.
Vincent couldn't help the fear he felt as well as rage at how helpless he was. This was the second time he had been kidnapped, and now with this gun to his head. He wasn't sure if Kagome would be able to do anything or even his father if they caught up to him. Glaring up at the man who had been his caretaker for three months, he contemplated on what he wanted with him. But he knew that he wasn't going to get help any time soon, and it was time that he did something for himself.
Looking down at the hand holding around his waist, he quickly grabbed it and brought it up to sink his teeth into the appendage. A cry of pain met his ears, and he was instantly dropped to the ground. Smirking, Vincent hurriedly got to his feet and took off into the forest. Ducking into some bushes, he held his breath as he waited for Roberto to pass him.
"WHERE ARE YOU? YOU DAMN BRAT! I'LL TEACH YOU! WE'LL SEE IF YOU'LL DO THAT AGAIN ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"
Flinching at the promise in that threat, he backed up into the bush to make sure he wasn't visible in any way. Peering out through the leaves, he saw Roberto standing a bit away by a tree scanning the surrounding area. Making sure to breathe softly, his dark eyes stayed locked onto the man's position before he got up into a crouch and began to scoot back. When he suddenly hit something solid, his little body tensed up as he heard chuckling.
Peering over his shoulder, he was dismayed to find another man standing there with a smug grin on his face. "I found him, Boss; he was just playing a little hide-n-go-seek." Before he could make another move, he was picked up by the scruff of his neck, and dangled in front of him. Roberto was smirking at him, and laughed.
"Well, playtime is over, Young Master…we have places to go, and places where you need to be sold off to the highest bidder on the orders of my employer."
Trembling slightly, Vincent cursed his own inattentiveness. Why hadn't he heard the man behind him?
Now all that effort was in vain! Tears began running down his face as the fear finally set in. He was all alone now.
"KAGOME!"
His voice echoed almost uselessly in the forest, and the gun-waving man in front of him only threw his head back and laughed. Smug brown eyes only pinned the boy with a condescending look. "You might as well give up young Phantomhive…there is no way for your dog to come here, and we are too deep into the forest for anyone to hear you." Walking over to the boy that was dangling in the air, he brought his hand up to caress the boy's cheek. Roberto licked his lips, and an almost perverse glint formed in his eyes.
"Once this is all over, I could probably ask the main man if I could keep you? After all, wouldn't it be better for you to serve someone you know already?"
The small child shook his head to make the man let him go.
"KAGOME, I'M HERE GIRL! COME AND GET ME! HELP ME!"
But when no one did, he couldn't help as his vision was blurred by tears. Laughter came from both of the men, as they watched the boy's futile efforts. No one was coming to help him, and so they didn't understand his continued attempts. Suddenly there was an eerie hush in the forest, and the three only slowly began to pick up on the change in atmosphere.
All around them, the trees tops were rustling furiously and the sky above was covered by pitch black clouds. Both of the men jumped as an ominous howl made its way to their position, and the little boy gasped causing their attention to be drawn to him. Quickly, they watched as a bright smile appeared on his face and the boy's body slackened in relief. Just as the world around them seemed to be engulfed in shadows, one word caused shock and fear to enter his very soul.
"KAGOME!"
Kagome knew that the image she was causing was definitely scaring the two foolish men in front of her. Black fur that melted into the darkness, glowing blue eyes that stuck out along with the highlighted souls of the wronged, and fangs bared, very ready to sink into the flesh of the guilty. Yes, she would burn this moment into their very souls, and if they should ever be reincarnated. They will be on the straight and narrow, and most likely be terrified of dogs.
Placing a paw forward, she watched in amusement as the man holding Vincent seemed to step away from Roberto while staring at her in terror. The caretaker though he was scared, he was trying to hide it as he aimed his gun at her. "I WILL NOT LET YOU INTERFERE YOU DAMN MUTT! NO MATTER HOW FREAKY THESE OCCURRENCES ARE, A BULLET BETWEEN THE EYES AND YOU ARE DONE LIKE ANY OTHER ANIMAL!"
Roberto pulled the trigger and the bullet seemed to go in slow motion to everyone and Vincent's eyes widened in horror as it struck Kagome in between the eyes. For a moment, the dog seemed dazed and then fell over. The young Phantomhive screamed in anguish, and Roberto seemed to laugh at both the dog's apparent death and the boy's misery. But his accomplice seemed to notice that the darkness had not receded at all.
"Boss….something isn't rig…?"
Suddenly the arm that man was holding that child with was cut off and landed uselessly on the ground. All of them were stunned into silence, and then the man screamed in pain as he released the boy and fell to the ground clutching at the blinding limb. When Vincent tried to move Roberto made sure to grab him before he could run off. His eyes looked over towards where the dog laid and widened in fear to see that the dog's body was no longer there.
I trusted you Roberto! And you do me like this?
She will get you! She will get all those like you!
I begged for you not to take them! But you did! For the pain they suffered…I hope you burn in hell!
THE AVENGER IS HERE, AND SHE HAS ACCEPTED OUR REQUEST!
Turning to look at all the beings standing around them in a ring, his pupils dilated as he recognized everyone that he had used in order to get his place in the world. Women, children, men, lovers, everyone and anyone he had ever wronged. Screams from his partner brought his attention back to him, and he could only watch helplessly as the man was literally being eaten alive by the shadows. He can see the bright white teeth of the spirits, chomping on the man's flesh and tearing them apart.
"HELP ME! ROBERTO! HELP ME!"
For a brief second he only stared, and then he scoffed, not showing the fear that graced him. "I'm sorry but you're on your own, bud, you're just going to be sacrificed for the greater good for me." Grabbing the kid, he took off down the open path left to him by the spirits. As he went, he heard the screams of his latest lover and accomplice first begging him for help, but then cursing him farther he went from him before being silenced. Closing his eyes briefly in grief, he continued running while carrying his meal ticket with him. As long as he got out of this forest alive with this child, nothing else mattered to him.
There is nowhere you can run or hide!
She will always find you, as you have been marked and placed on her list!
OUR VENGEANCE WILL BE FULFILLED, AND YOUR TORMENT SHALL BE SWEET!
Growling in irritation of the spirits dancing around him, he pushed himself harder to get past them. Unfortunately, once he reached the end of a path, he only met another circle of souls. There was the dog staring right at him with its eerie blue eyes, and not a bullet wound in sight between the glowing orbs. Raising his gun at the dog, he tightened his grip as he stared at the dog with a crazed glint in his eyes.
"I KNOW IT'S YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS CAUSING ALL THIS! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
Pulling the trigger repeatedly, he watched in horror as each bullet just passed through the dog's body as if it was nothing but a ghost, but he knew it was real. The only thing that brought him out of his fear-induced daze was the click of his gun. Looking down, he saw that he was out of bullets, and the dog snorted as if laughing at him. And that was exactly what it was doing, and that is when he realized that it was all over.
It threw its head back, and opened it mouth only for a human laughter to escape its muzzle.
"Wow, I haven't seen something that amusing in such a long time!"
Roberto only watched as the shadows wrapped around the dog, and slowly it began to form into something else. Dropping the kid, he didn't bother trying to keep a hold of him as he ran over to where the dog was. His brown eyes widened in shock as the shadows fell from the dog, only to reveal a pale skinned woman standing tall in the shadows. Black hair that was as dark as the shadows around them, spilling over her shoulders to cover her private areas.
The young Phantomhive stood by her, clinging to her side while staring at him impassively.
Obviously, the little bastard knew that something was wrong with this creature. Backing up away from the woman as she laughed dementedly, he was dismayed to hit something. Looking over his shoulder, he yelled as he came face to face with his partner that he had left behind to be devoured by the shadows. Turning back to the woman, he pointed towards her.
"WHAT ARE YOU? ARE YOU A MONSTER? WHAT IS THIS?"
Behind him, his former partner wrapped his arms around him and the other spirits began to converge on him. Roberto screamed as they all tore into him and he felt his body being torn limb from limb. Hands were digging into his body, and he could only watch as his organs were being ripped out one by one. Pain, unimaginable pain coursed through him until his eyes went back to the woman and child.
Vincent was staring at him with dulled eyes, and didn't even flinch as some blood splattered onto his cheek. The woman had a hand placed on top of his head, but her eyes were on him. As his heart finally stopped beating, he knew that the look on her face would follow him even to the afterlife.
It was the smile of a demon!
Clinging to the woman's shoulders, Vincent pressed his face into the crook of her neck. They had left Roberto's mutilated body in the forest for the animals to feed on. Dark eyes closed, and he tightened his arms around Kagome's neck.
She had come for him, even when he had lost all hope. Like before, she had saved him and he would always be grateful for that. Closing his eyes, he allowed himself to relax and he quickly fell to sleep. Kagome maneuvered him in her arms in order to make sure he was comfortable as she continued walking in the direction of the manor.
Glancing down at the sleeping boy, her blue eyes softened before turning back to the path in front of them. Her eyes latched onto trees that she was passing, and saw the ones she had marked. After using so much energy to pass on the vengeance on the man who wronged so many people, she was very exhausted and felt like she could sleep for a year.
A large ear twitched as she heard a sound of a twig snapping and froze, a snarl almost escaping her teeth. But familiar scents waltzed by to her nose and she relaxed, not bothering to transform into the shape of the dog they were most familiar with. She didn't want to wake her still-so-young master.
"Vincent!" A voice called out and the man appeared from the darkness of the forest with his butler in his footsteps and stopped when he saw the woman holding his son, "Who are you?" He demanded, almost allowing himself to blush at the lack of modesty.
Her ears focused on him, her eyes blinked, "I'm his dog, of course."
Pair of strangled gasps rang out in the darkness, "You have a lot of things to explain, missus." The butler said as Caine went to his sleeping son and sighed at the lack of a scratch on him, realizing that he didn't want to let go of his dog…If that woman counted as a real dog, that is.
The dog-woman sighed in resignation, nodding in an agreement.
"Of course."
End of Chapter 2
Well there goes Chapter 2! XD I hope that you were all satisfied with the death of Roberto, and Kagome's being discovered in her human form! Delilah and Caine of course belong to me! XD The names anyway. And obviously since I haven't scrapped this idea, though I am not even sure if I would've done it anyway thinking back on it! XD
