That Butler, Ecchi

Kagome was just contented in her time, without any intention to return to her former career of being a guardian of an ancient wishing jewel and battling power hungry beasts, and was just fine by herself. However an accidental incident where saving a demon from another and finding herself having a loyal demonic butler as a debt for saving his life had broken that illusion. The illusion of that peace she had been wanting but could never have.

"Mister, are you okay? You should be fine soon though. That wound that big on someone like you… Should take an hour or two, seeing how strong you are against that guy."

"Urg… why would someone like…egh… you willing to help someone like me?"

"Because, obviously, I'm not ordinary and so are you, demon of black. Well, I'll apply this herb on you and you should be fine in a snap. After that, I'll leave you here. It's an insult to assist a demon who need none, wasn't it?"

"…"

"Hm, I'm done. Hope you'll take care."

For some reason, her brain kept showing that memory like it was a really good movie all the while she worked at sweeping her shrine from the fallen, dying leaves on the ground. Her mother had left to live in China to take care of her sick aunt and her younger brother had left for the college and had found an apartment nearby, even though she hadn't seen him as much. Her grandfather, sadly, had passed away from an old age just several years ago right after she had officially retired from battling the evil beings and her trips to the past. Of course the well had closed but only because she had willed it to.

She had thought long and hard about her decisions. It was painful, leaving behind all of her friends, most especially her darling Shippou, but it was a right choice in the end.

After they had finally defeated Naraku, the despicable bastard, the monk had finally got his curse lifted and married the demon slayer as he had promised her he would if they lived through the final battle. The demon lord had just left and disappeared, most likely to receive his ward, whom he had truly loved like his daughter, even though he would never admit it, the toad servant and his two-headed creature pet. The said lord had chosen to assist them throughout the battle because he had wished to rid the world of a pesky spider.

The hanyou, as usual, did not agree with the fact that his half brother was willingly to help them or the fact he was actually in close contact of his pack. However, after the battle, the hanyou had made his choice and made off somewhere, never to be seen again. That was all right, she supposed, she was over him long ago. Shippou, however, was himself debating whether or not to go with the band of kitsune that had passed by the villages recently or stay with his adopted mother.

She had encouraged him to go with them because she too needs to make a choice as well. She did not want to break his heart, but might as well soften it in the process. In the end, he did, but promised that, in the future, he will come and find her and that broke her heart and gave him a last hug and a last kiss on his cheek right before she went home for good. The neko had also gone with him, as if she would protect him for her.

The miko sighed as she managed to sweep away the last leaf of the autumn, just as the night had finally fallen. When she had put away her broom away in the shed and get ready for her studying for one of her college exams, her tingling in her spine quickly warned her of a demon lurking nearby. She spun around, her ebony hair whipping eccentrically by her action, as the miko made a sharp lilac colored glow in one of her petite, callous hands in order to protect herself if necessary.

She blinked in surprise when she recognized the demon, as he slowly appeared in her view by steadily climbing the long stair. "It's you!" She whispered out as her glow seemed to grow sharper as she was more wary than she was once was. The demon smiled gently, his scarlet red eyes closed, his hands folded together behind his back, "I bid you no harm, I promised."

The miko glared at him, even though she had saved his life, she had learned to be wary of those who she had saved, or hence they may harm her for whatever reason. The miko had learned that lesson many times before. "Is there something you want, demon of black?" She tried her best to be nice, even if she was ready to attack him if she needed to be.

The demon male just smiled still, "Well, you did save my life…" The miko let out a sharp gasp when he appeared by the miko, faster than she can sense him. He gently lifted a strand of the miko's dark hair as he noticed her to be frozen stiffened, her hand still glow, albeit more powerful than before. "If you even dare to harm me anyway, I'll purify you out of your existence!"

The demon laughed warmly, "Why would I want to do that? I simply want to repay you my debt for saving my life from before." His smooth voice even sounded like he was actually smiling. "What?" The miko was thoroughly confused.

"I want to be your servant, my dear Higurashi Kagome!"

Once Kagome had said no, again she refused, and yet again she had refused. That demon was very persistence. He refused to leave her household (she did kindly to not to let him in at first but he got in anyway). Even taking over her everyday chores, he still insisted to be her servant. She did tried to explain to him that she did not need a servant and nobody in her time really need one (unless they were rich people and owned a really big mansion or even several, but no, she was not very rich at all).

The demon was thoroughly stubborn and still insisted that he be her servant. Honestly, did he have a thing for being a butler or something?

One morning she woke up to a smell of delicious breakfasts and curious, she went out of her room and entered the kitchen where the smells were coming from. She wasn't that astounded to see that annoying yet very handsome demon cooking the breakfasts. The demon looked up to the still sleep-derived miko and smiled at her and she shook her head, "Nice try, demon, but the answer is still no. I don't need anyone. I have no desire of having a servant, even if it was for free."

The male frowned and sighed, "I'm not giving up, my mistress! I can promise you that~!"

"Gah. Lemme go and eat the foods so I can go to my university in time." Kagome wasn't in a mood for that argument and just want to be done with her school today. The demon perked up in curiosity. He knew he was in different time period, after staying in Hell for a long time, but he didn't know how much had changed while he was gone.

"University? I had thought that males only go." He pondered.

"…When the last time you have been here anyway?" Kagome asked after swallowing a bite of a delicious omelet.

"Being this in 2000s, I would say… maybe in the early 1900s."

"…You have a lot to learn, demon of black. You can use my computer to learn new stuffs, seeing that you are a quite of a quick learner, but please, don't break it." Kagome sighed after finishing her morning meal after the demon shook his head, saying that he did not want to use it, in case he might break it, "Thanks for the breakfast, by the way." She was in the mood to be nice, at least.

The demon gave her a grateful smile but he said, "There is no need of thanks, milady!"

"Gah!" The miko screamed out when she had disappeared from his view.

She had changed into warm clothes and prepared to leave her home with her briefcase into the bitter weather after taking care of necessary morning duties. Kagome wanted to leave soon so she can get to the train on time and not to be late for her classes for once. Kagome gave a sharp glance in the demon's way when she was descending down the stair, wrapping around a scarf around her neck as doing so, as he was standing there, waiting for her to come back. Quite like a dog, she later wondered.

After she was gone, he knew that curiosity killed the cats but he couldn't resist and began following his new mistress, since she didn't say anything about not following her or such, but knew enough to stay out of her view and out of range for her holy senses to avoid her wrath. He hadn't enough time to explore the modern city.

When he had first arrived in this world of this time, he was engaging in a long and hard fight with another one of his kind because that foe had wished to take his territory. Unfortunately, he had nearly defeated and so he had transported himself out of the demon realm and into the living world to save himself, but the foe had followed, wishing to get rid of him for good.

And so he found himself at mercy under his enemy. But luck was on his side. A beautiful miko, a rare sight for him, had seen them and got rid of that beast to save him. She had chosen to help speed up his healings and left him there afterward. He wasn't sure whether if he should be insulted for having someone to help him when he was wounded or be grateful for being saved.

He chose to be more grateful when he recognized of who that miko was. It's the miko from the legend of the Wishing Jewel. Because of that, he wanted to go back to his old calling and have her as his master, no matter how stubborn he have to be to get her to agrees to be his mistress, as his 'thanks' for saving his life. It definitely seemed to be interesting to be a servant again, especially after his former master's untimely death.

Plus that miko seemed to attach trouble like magnet and pretty cute to boot too.

When he made sure that his lady master had left into the train safely (as he was wondering at the changes with the present train from the past), he leaped onto the back of the train just as it immediately took off in an astoundingly speed. 'Ah so that's why milady called it Shinkansen, the bullet train. Very quick, indeed.'

He watched the lights of the tunnel quickly disappeared, only to be reappeared again and again, as the darkness and the light of each stop they made continued to glow and disappeared in each predictable pattern, all vanished just as they are finally out of the tunnel and he noticed the pale sky appeared from above him. There were some cottony-like clouds in the sky; however the sun seemed to be far too pale to be noticed.

The autumn made the sun almost faded, simply because changing seasons often move the sun, sometime the sun is away from the earth, sometime too close to the earth, resulting into the weather changes. He remembered this because he taught his former young master the same thing himself. He smelled the air and almost wished he hadn't. Although there were small traces of the autumn, it was practically too polluted by the humans to actually enjoy it.

He frowned at that but merely sighed and waited for the train to stop at where his mistress would set off from.

Kagome stepped off from the train as soon it made at her stop and made her way into the thick moving crowd to get her university. She rechecked her wristwatch and sighed out of the relief that she still had few minutes to spare. She still wasn't aware that she had a pushy demon at her tail, and would probably grateful later if not for this fact.

She made it in time for her exam, ignoring her friends to do so. It resulted leaving behind her three friends disgruntled, with Ayumi trying to explain that she got a different class schedule than they did. "Well, we did take same schedule together, but Kagome-chan didn't, probably because of her illnesses…" Ayumi pondered, before Eri, the bold one, huffed out, "Yea, but she still doesn't have a boyfriend! Poor Hojo-san…"

The demon perked up in curiousity as he managed to get to the area of the university and had gaze at the large building and came across hearing her three friends discussing about his mistress's supposed illnesses and a lack of a romance relationship when they're leaving the gate of the said campus. He was amused when the short haired one spoke out, "Maybe she already got someone. We hadn't talk to her in a while."

"Ooohh, I hope he was nothing like that two-timer boyfriend! And hotter too!" The straight haired one giggled out and the other two joined in, giggling together like they were the airheaded morons, in the demon's opinion. But he was curious, just who was the 'two-timer boyfriend' they're talking about?

Not to mention, if he had heard the legend that had begun almost five hundreds years ago and the supposed miko from it had instead lived in this time period, how did the miko even show up in the legend at all? It seemed that the miko held even more secrets than he had thought and he was very interested to find them out.

He spend all of his time exploring the area, without being detected, nearby, and listening into any conversation from random people around he deemed fascinating. He was getting bored, just as the classes his mistress was in finally let out. The demon disappeared into shadow as his mistress took the same route she used to get to her campus, only reverse. After a moment or two following her, he found something out of place and noticed that his mistress actually got another stalker following her as well.

His scarlet eyes narrowed but did nothing, just to see the event to unfold.

She let out a weary sigh when she made a stop into a bakery store she had frequently go to, for a quick, yummy snack for a simple reward for even getting out her classes alive. It was hard for her, since she missed so many days in her high school, due to her feudal era adventures, it was such a surprise that she even get in a good collage and it was close by too. She paid for her chocolate grazed donut and thanked the young adorable male clerk when she left the shop.

It wasn't until she finally ate all of the donut and stopped at the large gaping turn of the buildings' walls, which was called an alleyway; she felt like there was someone standing behind her. Kagome turned around and her eyes widened at him, when the stranger roughly pushed her into the dark alleyway. She didn't even have enough time to make a noise when the stranger grabbed her mouth to stop her from screaming her head off.

It was too bad that even though if a human soul is evil, her miko power wouldn't work on that human, only on anything demon related. Here she was trapped like a rat, in that man's grip. For some reason, she sorely wished that demon that she had saved would come for her and an odd name came across in her head, 'Sebastian…!'

She doesn't even have any time to ponder more on that name. She doesn't even sure that really was demon's name at all; perhaps it was just a simple thought in a bad situation. Kagome started trying to yell out of desperation when she saw a knife glinted off the sunlight from the stranger's pocket being pulled out. That was it for her, she mentally cried out, but her survival instincts were on overdrive. She suddenly bit into the leather gloved hand that belonged to the male hard and deep as she can go.

The stranger yelped out from the pain she had inflicted on him, enough so that he let her go by slamming her into the steel fence that was in the middle of the alleyway and him falling down on his ass, his knife went spinning away from him. "You bitch!" He hissed out on her, holding his injured hand. Now that Kagome got a chance to see his face, she dimly realized she may have seen him from somewhere, most possibly from television, but did not remember who he was.

She made an attempt to run around the fallen, angry man, but fell down when he grabbed her ankle. Her chin sting badly, her well endowed breasts were sore from hitting the hard ground and with weight from her body, her hands and knees were bloody from the result of hitting the stone-like ground; her body hurt everywhere, she almost want to cry in front of that damned man. But she knew that if she did cry, it would only make her life shorter if that man see it and just taunt her outright before killing her, so she tried her best to avoid crying.

For a brief second, she thought she had seen that demon in the front of the alleyway, blocking the light in her way and she also thought she saw his gentle smile and his hand outspreaded for her. But he wasn't there. Kagome was much too in pain and desperate to live to even concentrated on her miko senses. "Se…bast…ian…?" She wasn't aware that she spoke this out loud when Kagome felt that man what had attacked her had stood up and went over her body.

Kagome whimpered, she discreetly glanced up and saw him holding that shiny knife again and felt afraid for the first time in years. "Sebastian!" She whispered out, still unaware that she did so.

"You called me, milady?" A familiar smooth voice echoed out in the silent alleyway and Kagome looked ahead and see a shiny pair of leather shoes and looked up to see the very face she knew she would be thankful for. "…demon…?" She whispered out, indistinctly aware of her attacker's surprised yell and tossed an insult to him.

The assailant, out of confusion and caution, attacked the demon with the knife but missed and had his collar of his jacket grabbed by the smiling demon and he was lifted, dangling off the ground. "Milady, am I safe to assume that you had accept my offer?" He ignored the male choking and his vain attempt to stab the hand that held his shirt, as he seemed to feel no pain.

Kagome got up from her back and instead sit on the ground after moving away from the males and found herself against the wall, again she wasn't aware but she nodded to his question. The demon's eyes seemed to twinkled in happiness with her answer and turn to glare at the male who had dare to attack his mistress.

"I would be very happy to kill you, but I highly doubt that my mistress would approve of it. So I'll hurt you a little instead." With that said, he tossed him against the brick wall of the building and as the man yelled out in pain from the stinging impact on his back, the demon went and kicked him into his stomach roughly, making him unconscious.

He stepped back and holding in his reign of his lust to kill him, but instead on checking on his new lady. He went over to her and kneeled to her, "My mistress, are you alright?" Kagome numbly nodded, realizing that his eyes were avoiding her and felt cold breeze on the skin onto her chest. Her face went red when she realized that the front of her blouse was ruined and her red and black lacy bra-clad chest was revealed for all to see. Kagome immediately covered herself and because of her embarrassment, she didn't notice that her new demon servant was smirking a little.

The demon was kind enough to take off his leather jacket and insisted on putting it on her shoulders without her help. Kagome permitted him to, refusing to reveal herself again. His overcoat jacket was bigger so it had practically engulfed her, enough so she wouldn't have to worry about accidently exposing herself. Kagome realized for the first time, she hadn't been paying attention to the demon's choice of outfits. She thought that he really do look like a real life butler from Victorian Age of England she had learned about from her high school days.

Somehow, it fit him, even though he could easily be mistaken as a businessman, if one did not take a closer look.

Suddenly, Kagome realized that she had accepted his offer and mentally berating herself, cursing that the fact she now had a demon determined enough to shadow her by the every step she took and fulfilling her every whim and wishes. "I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of calling the polices." He mentioned as he's urging her to sit still and let him to check her wounds but was a gentleman enough to leave the ones on her womanly areas.

"…Meh…Why are you so stubborn to be my butler? I don't really need one…" Kagome murmured out her question, thinking that the demon wouldn't answer her. To her surprise, he did, "Because I do like to pay you back somehow and I simply thought that since you saved my life, it would be a good idea to let you have my life instead." The demon explained, already hearing the infuriating sirens coming their ways.

"…That doesn't make any sense to me, but fine, do whatever you want." She muttered out, looking depleted, flinching when the demon checked out her minor wounds on her knees and her hands too suddenly. The demon noticed and instantly apologized, at which Kagome had waved off. Kagome then insisted onto getting up but the demon wouldn't have it, as a butler, he must also care about her health as well, but commented that if she really wanted to get off the ground, he would be happy to take her in his arms.

Kagome wasn't so sure and was nervous, but it sure did beat sitting on the uncomfortable hard ground, she nodded, missing the small smirk on his face as he bowed down to picked her up in his arms in bridal style. They saw the police cars coming and the demon held his mistress tight to his chest, though he knew what their jobs were, he still didn't trust them to come any closer to the small woman.

They appeared into front of them and asking too many questions at a time, at which Kagome was having difficulty getting and answering them so the demon answered each of the questions, not even bothering to put her down or even asking her if she would like him to answer the polices instead. Kagome had sighed in relief when she saw the same man that had assaulted her was being carried away in a police car. But she also noticed that the same man was very hysterical and was screaming about the man that was holding her was a devil and such, fear was in his eyes.

But the police officers merely thought him was trying to plead that he was a nut basket somehow and brutally ignoring him. The demon had continued to answering their questions, still with her in his arms. Funny, she never felt so small before and it wasn't her first time that she had been held in this way, most of the males that had done so had almost the same built like the demon in black. Then again, most of them weren't that slim or even feel as powerful as him.

Kagome snapped her head back to the police officer when he mentioned that she was lucky to be alive because the assaulter had been killing women in this neighborhood. He had been on the news many times, trying to find him, but the bastard had been too good at hiding, which made it difficult for them to find him. She blinked her bright blue eyes, trying to take this all in.

All too quickly, she heard the demon, "I'll be taking her home now. If you have any more questions or such, please do call us. The missus is very worn out and need her rest immediately, so if you please, we'll be on our ways." His voice was cold, cold enough to cause the police officer to take a few steps back in fright before the officer quickly nodded and let them to go in their ways. The demon nodded, Kagome still in his arms, before walking back to the shrine. Not once did the officer had stop and think about how the male in black had phased his comment because he sounded too much like possessive yet very much like obedient to the lady in his arms at the same time.

Few moments passed and Kagome noticed something, "Hey, are we going to the Shinkansen?" The demon shook his head as he walked into a rather very vacant sidewalk, "No, I'll take you through a different route, ma'am. It's much too crowded and you are not feeling too well to put up with that." Kagome nodded lightly in understanding, curious of what sort of a transportation he was talking about.

"I hope you don't have a fear of height, ma'am."

"…? No, I don't. At least I don't think so." She shook her head in a negative. The demon stopped abruptly, looking down to his mistress' face, "Good, then hold on tight." It was so sudden that Kagome could only hear a woosh and a pair of wings flapping loudly against the air before finding herself so far up in the atmosphere, everything down below, people, buildings, and parks looked like ants to her. Kagome grabbed the front of his shirt and buried her face in it, fear overtaking her body, briefly noticing the wings with velvet-soft black feathers out of the demon's back, already speechless.

Momentarily, she thought childishly that they were pretty and wished that she had them too, that is if she wasn't so scared of how far up there they were. Surely her home was not that far! She let out a whimper and made a small comment, breaking her trapped voice, "I'm not scared of the height but not that far up!"

She couldn't hear him chuckling over the flapping of the wings and the wind but she could feel his chest rumbling. Another woosh and they are already at the ground of the Higurashi shrine. Kagome wanted to get down so she could feel her feet touch the ground but the demon refused to bulge, still insisting that she still did not feel too well and need her rest immediately. She pouted, realizing that this is a battle that could not be won.

They went in the house and went to her room. He then put her down on her bed before went back up to get her pajama and came back to her. Fortunately, she changed into them herself with him out of her room. She was about to leave her room, so to put her clothes into the washer machine and to throw away the torn one into a trashcan but the demon stopped her, saying that she should not be overdoing herself and putting clothes into the washer and taking care of trashes were now his duties, not hers.

He made her to go back to her bed and left her pouting and feeling useless. Again, curiosity stuck into her mind and she stopped the demon before he goes outside of her room, "Oi, what's your name? If you're here permanently, might as well let me have something to call you with."

"Call me whatever you like, ma'am." He smiled at her, holding her tattered and dirty clothes in his hands. Kagome frowned, "…Do you have a name that you like? I'm not very good name-picker, you see…"

"…Hm, well then you can call me Sebastian if you like." He smiled before he left out of her room, leaving her to rest. 'Sebastian…wait, isn't that a name I thought earlier?' She pondered, frowning.

Not long after, she had fallen asleep and got woken up by Sebastian so she can eat her dinner he had just made. He also informed her that she won't be going to school tomorrow and the next day as they had heard about the incident earlier and had thought it would be a good idea for her to get some rest, thinking that she might be too traumatized from what had happened to her. Kagome nearly had a coughing fit over her foods when Sebastian had told her that it was already all over the news.

She nearly cried, she could already hear of all of the blasted concerned voices and the ringing off the hook from the phones that won't let her to have a moment peace. Startled, Sebastian asked if she was all right and that perhaps he could take it off the news until she was able to rest fully or whatnot. She shook her head, commenting that would be impossible to do that if the people had already seen it.

But he just smiled and disappeared.

Eerily, everything was quiet in the next morning when she woke up, completely expecting the constant ringing of the phones. Kagome dimly realized that she had fallen asleep and that the tray of her devoured dinner was gone, presumably taken away from her room by Sebastian. She smelt yummy foods being cooked as she got up, choosing to leave her pajama on since she's not attending to her college today. She stood up and was surprised at how tired she felt and how much pain she felt and had to force herself to walk downstairs.

Sebastian spotted her over the stove with a white apron on (when did I have an apron like that? I thought Mama took them all.) and frowned, "Milady, you should stay in your bed. I'll just carry up the breakfast." Kagome shrugged as she went over to the dining table and flopped in her chosen seat, now unsure what to do, since she was so used to doing things for herself. Before Sebastian came along, there was nobody in the Shrine except herself so it was a little lonely sometime. So perhaps he could keep her company?

…Plus where is the hell was he sleeping anyway? She doesn't remember having chosen a room for him. Curious, she had asked and he answered, "Oh, I hope you don't mind, Ma'am, I had chosen to stay in a room under yours." She shrugged as she thoughtfully pondered. That used to be her brother's room and it was quite a bit messy, even still when he had moved out. Kagome did try to clean it out but it would never stay spotless at all. She made a mental note to check in the room that now belonged to Sebastian. Maybe he had managed to fix the problem.

"I don't mean to intrude but would you mind if I check your room, at least? My brother had left behind a huge mess and I'm just curious if you did actually clean it out." She asked, assuring the male that she won't be too nosy or any sort. Sebastian smiled, "I don't mind at all. Your brother didn't leave anything that pose of challenging to me."

Dimly, she realized that they had fallen into a conversation as she ate and appreciated her breakfast served by Sebastian. Maybe it wasn't so bad having him as her butler, since he had kept her company. Never once had she remembered about the lack of phone ringing until two days later.

"Gahhh…look at how many messages I got!" She grimaced at her recorder, as it blipping the glowing red numbers. She had struggled to reply everyone that had called her earlier and tried to catch up but soon gave up when it got too overwhelming for her and had turned off and left 'opened' the phones. Just so they wouldn't make anymore nauseating noises. She still left the recorder on so she would call them back, one at a time. Sebastian just looked at her in pity as he was cleaning the dishes.

She went on the internet and found out that someone had 'deleted' and been 'delaying' their 'Kagome's Incident' newscast couple of days before, just after they had only showed thirty seconds of it. Kagome was lucky that it didn't exactly give out her identity. She wondered how the heck her college had found out about it and assumed that the cops must have told them. She had glanced at Sebastian who was cleaning the carpet, just as he had looked away, looking a bit uncomfortable.

She is not going to ask how he had done that, figuring that he must had done it to give her more rest and to spare her the constant concerns of her friends and her family, even if it was only for two days.

A/N: Oh, dear! I wrote this a long time ago! Therefore I cannot remember what happened next or should I waste anymore time on it. I hate it when anything was gathering dust in a folder so…it deserved to be read by other peoples other than me. Sorry about it being uncompleted and most likely being riddled with mistakes too. But like I told you before, it was just an idea. An idea that didn't get to be finished, that is. More of a pity, if you ask me.

*died* Good gods! Here's one under a pile of dust! I do not like having unfinished shots in my folders. Might as well and toss it out in the open.

I've pretty much cringed at this one though. It's kind of corny, in my opinion. And the errors…Oh, my gawd…*is ashamed*

Bleh, no promises on me coming back and complete it though… Or edit it.

Do NOT touch this without my permission.

You'll Be My Death
