Inuyasha crossover Kuroshitsuji
Chapter 5: Party Invite

"An invitation young master," Sebastian said as he handed to him an elegant yet mysterious looking slate grey black envelope, presented to him on a silver platter as Sebastian held it out to him.

Along with the opening of the envelope, Ciel took a look at the simple yet elegant invite along with a note on it.

"How is it that she is able to get an invite?" the young boy Earl asked as he looked hard at the invitation in his hand.

"I believe that she was perhaps given," Seabstian replied a simple question with an equally simple answer that made the obvious even more glaringly obvious as Ciel glanced at him.

"Find out about the invite,"

"Yes young master," Sebastian said as he looked all smiley face at Ciel whilst he went about duties as per normal, waiting on him hand and foot before he found a time to do as he was told.

"I see that you have seen the invite for tonight," Kagome said casually as she sat in the courtyard reading with the remainder of the sunlight.

Unlike how most women who are of this society, busily preparing themselves and dressing to their best, Kagome had other matters at hand that required her attention more.

"Tonight marks the day you give me an answer, but I doubt that is what you are here for. The invite was given to me by a friend, called Dorian Grey, he gave me a total of 5 guests to invite along with me for that party, that's all," Kagome told him the answer that he was there for.

His answer, he did not know as of yet, but at the moment there is still the orders of his contractor, that brat, which he would have to carry out. A twinkle of silver caught the evening light as Sebastian catches it from the air with equally as quick reflexes.

"That is only temporal, but you will notice that freedom for the moment," Kagome told him, not saying how long that silver watch will last, but he could see the items holds certain power, though weak, but he could feel it.

The power emitting from the pocket watch repelled and yet draw him, but he could feel that there is a visible crack in his contract, a coming and going of it as though teasing him with something more 'delectable'. For a moment he tried pressing in to feel more of that energy, but it withdrew itself, as though having a mind of its own as Sebastian looked up from the watch in his hand to look at Kagome in silent thought.

She did not say a word, only closing the book in her hand as she stood to walk back into the mansion where she stays, not bothering to say her 'good bye' or to look at him at all. She is almost like Ciel he could tell, but there is something more that she is withholding back. He could not see the gameplay of it all yet, but that is only a matter of time. Disappearing to return back to the Phantomhive manor where Ciel is awaiting for his report, he gave the answer that he had come to know to the other, leaving it more vague than Kagome had placed it, but he could feel the change after having that watch.

"Nothing funny tonight, just clean fun," Kagome said to the bird that was perched outside of her opened balcony, hopping forward a little on the ground to tilt its' head cutely to one side as it regarded her for a moment before chirping as it took off from the ground.

"Lady Kagome, your dresses are ready," Marie says as she entered the room signally for a few others carrying an open box, as they stood in a line ready for her to make a selection.

"That one," she says casually, entering into the adjoining private room where she took her showers as she stepped into the hot water, letting it wash over her as she closed her eyes to rest for a moment.

Memories of the past came flooding back to her at times like these, as it reminded her of how she would take a bath in the random hot springs that they are able to come stumbling upon back in the Feudal Era so that she could wash herself of grim and dirt.

"I wonder if they are still around," Kagome mumbled as she looked at a closed glass window, wondering about the past as she reminiscing about it, a grim pained look flashes across her face.

Marie dressed her in the very first few layers, but just as Marie was going to help her into the main dress, Kagome could feel his presence as he took over her job silently, dismissing her as he helped Kagome into the dress that she had chosen.

"You've lost weight," Claude commented as he helped Kagome into her dress, adjusting it in the front as she looked forward nonchalantly.

"Have you been skipping meals again?" Claude asked her when she did not say anything or do anything.

"The party tonight be careful,"

"I do not need you telling me what to do when you cannot keep your own meal in check," she finally commented as she turned on her bare foot, walking away from him as she walked out of the dressing area, looking around as she seek out Marie with her eyes.

"I've sent her away, I'll help you with the rest of your dressing," Claude says as he walked towards her with a set of jewelry in his hand that he was going to help adorn her in.

"I see that I've neglected you badly," Claude continued to talk as though it was a serious matter.

"That's too much, I only want something simple," Kagome stopped him just as he chose an overly extravagant necklace to wear around of her neck, instead Kagome moved away from him as she went in search of her own preferential choice.

Claude looked at her for a moment and then placed the necklace that he had held onto down onto the table as he followed after her with a pampering smile as he watches her every movement.

"I'll handle the Prince properly so you do not need to worry," Claude informed her just as Kagome wore the simple lace necklace that she had chosen, along with a simple pair of dangle earrings.

Kagome glances at him, her eyes already conveying to him the message of not needing to hear his explanation, but he continued to explain himself as though it is a need.

By the time that she was dressed, Claude had to leave, and did so after leaving a list of instructions to Marie and a few words of care for her along with his own careful instructions for her as well.

"I hate being eyed," Kagome mumble as she threw a subtle glance at the window before she left the room as she went into her library where she did some light reading in the lit room, not at all in a hurry to get to the party.

Alois Trancy, the current head of the Trancy household, looked out of the window with boredom as he got lost for a moment in his thoughts.

"Master," Hannah soft voice called as she stood by the doorway awaiting for him to give her his orders before continuing.

"Tell me what you have found," Alois looked towards Hannah with a smile that did not hide his interested glee, knowing that Hannah always does as he expected.
