My Wonderful Master, Alois

Dogs!: Guard Dog

~*Venus POV*~

Claud led me to the room Master was in. He said I should be in there to keep him calm. I was happily skipping behind him, I didn't have the heart to tell him I could easily follow Master's scent and didn't need to be led. We arrived at a room, Master's scent was very strong. Claud opened the door for me and see Master and his friend sitting at a small table with little things on it. They would move them around, occasionally taking one of the opposite color.

I quickly skipped over to Master and sat at his feet like always. I rubbed my head against him, more so than usual, I want that dog to know he's MY master! I felt Master's hand on my head and started to purr. I knew they were talking about something but I decided not to listen, I was enjoying the attention of my Master. He would sometimes se his finger to scratch under my chin, it was pure bliss! I started to purr louder.

"Damn it Trancy! Your little pet is distracting!"

I heard Ciel yell at Master, some hostility in his voice. My eyes shot open and lifted my head to look at the man. My eyes narrowed and my ears flattened, tail whipping side to side. I started growling at him, thinking he meant harm to Master. I seemed to have gotten his attention, though. He looked at me shocked, like he wasn't expecting my reaction. Master was giggling.

"Venus, love, why are you growling?" He had a smile on his face and was giggling while he asked. I kept my eyes on Ciel, making sure he doesn't make any sudden moves.

"His voice was threatening. It sounded like he was going to hurt Master." My voice was quiet and low, mixing in with a few growls. Master only laughed and started to pet me again.

"It's alright, my pet. Ciel and I talk like that all the time to each other. We don't mean anything by it! Just relax, love." I slowly obeyed, not taking my narrowed eyes off the one eyed boy. I rested my head on Master's lap as he continued to pet me. He scratched my chin and I couldn't help but close my eyes and purr; I was back in that state of bliss.

~*Ciel POV*~

I should have known if I didn't show up to his stupid ball he would come here and annoy me. What I wasn't expecting him to bring along a guest, though. And not just any guest, his apparent new 'pet'. A neko. So that's why he threw the ball, to show off his pet. It was a rather odd meeting, asking to sniff me. It was enjoyable, though, when she called Sebastian a 'chocolate Claud'.

Then of course, Pluto had to wander in and start chasing the poor girl all over the mansion, ruining priceless artifacts in the process. She ended up on the chandelier in the ballroom. She got a couple of good swipes at the hound before Sebastian and Finny got a hold of him. She still wouldn't come down even after Alois assured her everything was alright.

Claud whispered something in Sebastian's ear, making him nod and leave. He then suggested we go and play chess while we wait for lunch. Alois seemed a little hesitant, but eventually agreed.

We walked to the game room in silence, which was rather odd. Alois would usually talk non-stop just to bug me. Once we got to our destination, however, the silence was broken.

"So, Ciel, what do you think of my new pet?" His cheery ass self was back. I hate his little mood swings, they're so annoying and irritating. I sighed as we sat down at the chess table.

"She is very...interesting." I moved one of my pawns forward.

He giggled. "Isn't she? She keeps me very entertained." He moved one of his own.

"So how long have you had her?" I moved another pawn. I actually was interested.

"Oh, about a month now. But it seems like she had always been apart of the Trancy Household." He moved one of his knights. I was still a bit curious about this neko. Vaguely aware of the door opening.

"Tell me, where did you find her?" I moved another pawn.

"On the streets in London." He moved his knight, capturing one of my pawns.

I saw movement from the side, so I looked over. I saw the neko skipping to Alois, sitting by his feet. She then proceeded to rub her head against his legs. I raised an eyebrow at Alois. He just smiled and started...petting her? I then heard a strange noise, like a rumbling almost.

"Alois? Do you hear that?" He just started to chuckle.

"Yes, it's just my darling little pet purring. See?" He then tickled her chin and the noise became louder. We've been playing throughout this whole conversation, and for once, I was losing, badly, to Alois. I couldn't concentrate with that damn purring. I guess Alois tickled her chin once more, because the insufferable noise grew louder. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn it Trancy! Your little pet is distracting!"

I started glaring at the blonde boy, a look of smugness on his face. That's when I heard a very terrifying noise. I turned my head slightly and looked at the neko creature. Her ears were back so far it was like she didn't have any. Her eyes were narrowed slits and her tail was twitching, fluffed out, and swishing violently. It honestly shocked me. Why was she acting like I was Pluto? I could hear Alois' stupid giggle.

"Venus, love, why are you growling?" He had a smile on his face and was giggling while he asked. She kept her glare on me, making me a little unsettled.

"His voice was threatening. It sounded like he was going to hurt Master." Her voice was like a low growl. This only caused Alois to laugh more. He started to pet her again.

"It's alright, my pet. Ciel and I talk like that all the time to each other. We don't mean anything by it! Just relax, love." She slowly relaxed, but she kept her eyes on me, that is until Alois started to tickle her chin. She closed her eyes and started to purr while her head was in his lap. That creature is truly...terrifying.
