Kuro 9
The darkening sky urged the full moon to climb ever higher, the soft breeze brought with it a slight tang of autumn.
"What am I doing here?" I looked up at the moon that was quickly rising.
It was nice, peaceful, quiet, but something felt wrong about being here. Sure, it was just a feeling but when animal instincts tell you something's up, something's up.
I felt the acute senses come back to me, the breeze smelled sharper, the moon gleamed brighter, the ground felt firmer.
I felt my ears return to my head, my tail came back, with a slight itching that is.
I sensed a weird presence behind me but I dismissed it quickly, thinking it was just me re-adjusting to my cat senses.
I wish I had paid more attention, because for the second time that day, I turned around only to run into someone else.
" You bear the scent of a demon. Tell me girl, who are you?" I looked at the man I had walked into. He had gold eyes, they were similar to Sebastian's but instead of a mischievous twinkle, there was nothingness, just a cold dark glint.
"You can sense my aura?" I was impressed. I thought I had hidden it fairly well. Sebastian didn't notice it, maybe being at the Phantomhive household really did dull his demon's instincts.
"Yes, although it is slightly tainted, I sense a faint demon's aura."
Ok, so I was half-demon, it wasn't like it really mattered.
I nodded, then I picked up a scent, an unmistakable smell. The smell of a demon-mutt, Pluto.
I tensed, getting ready to shape shift and run for it.
"Who are you?" I narrowed my eyes at the intruder.
"My name is Claude. Who are you?" His eyes followed my every movement.
"Kurayami."
"That's an…interesting name."
Without warning, Claude charged forward. His reflexes were lightning fast. By the time I took two steps, his hand was at my throat.
"Did you think a Phantomhive could pass here without my notice?" Then his hand slammed into my neck, cutting off my air.
I gasped and keeled over, my hands flew to my throat in vain. The world was blacking out so fast. Oh god. Shit.
