Kuroshitsuji 4
Later that night, I was back in my...er Sebastian's room. I was laying on the pillow, stretching my back in cat form. I smiled, today was a good day, I got so close to him! I smiled as much as a cat could, and then started to cough as I felt a hairball coming on. Ew. Being a cat was sometimes pretty gross…
I stared out the window, thinking about where my clothes were. Meirin had given me a new maid outfit. I stuck to that, seeing as I had no other excuse to be in the house. I glanced at the clock, one o' clock. Sebastian obviously wasn't coming back yet, so I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
I was in a familiar dream. More a nightmare then a dream, really. There were bright red symbols painted on the floor. They seemed to glow with evil menace, shining up at me, mocking me. I lay on the white granite, the coldness flowing through me. I lay bound and frozen to the table. Several people smiled down at me. Blood splattered everywhere, on everyone, other kids lay on similar tables.
A rhythmic chanting floated around the room, an almost tangible atmosphere started to form. There was screaming, bone chilling, hair raising, blood curdling screams. Tears fell, warm on my cheeks compared to the cold granite. A man carried a small black form. Red blood dripping from the form. Then the glint of a blade.
CRASH. My eyes opened quickly, screams coming from my throat. Sebastian got up quickly, taking me into his arms. I calmed when his warmth flooded into me. I raised my golden eyes to look at him. He smiled, a soft, caring smile. Then he rubbed my paws, the way I loved.
A loud barking came from outside. A bark I distinctly knew as Pluto's. His barking was followed by gunshots and crashing noises. Sebastian shot out of bed, the moonlight casting a pale glow on his flawless chest. I watched him as he moved gracefully, dressing himself in seconds. He sped out of the door, holding a candle.
I waited until his footsteps receded into the distance. Then I changed into my human form and dressed into my maid outfit. I hurried down the hall to the room that Bard assigned me to. I laid down and pretended to be asleep.
Bard rushed in. "KURAYAMI, COME WITH ME!" He extended his hand to me. "Bard, I have to change," I lied. He blushed and stepped out of my room, turning his back to me. I took the covers off and made some noise of ruffling clothes.
I went up behind Bard and whispered, "Boo." He turned, smiling, and grabbed my wrist. He pulled me to the front yard. There were several broken trees and statues lying around. There were two bodies on the floor. I ignored their mangled bodies and sniffed the air, smelling something odd.
"Who are you?" I turned around to see a young boy. His right eye was covered with an eye patch. His dark hair fell over his face. His blue eye sent a chill up my spine. My eyes narrowed. I pounced on the child, who I realized was Ciel, Sebastian's master.
I felt a whoosh of air above me. Then I looked up to see someone, a man dressed in all black. He carried two dangerous looking swords. His silver mask was formed in a frown. I bared my fangs as he whirled on me and Ciel.
Sebastian came out of nowhere. "Well, you seem to have missed one," he smiled to Meirin and Finny. The two cast their glances downward. I continued to watch Sebastian, ignoring the two servants.
His eyes glinted dangerously, making me shiver. Then, Sebastian leapt into action.
