Kagome hummed as she stirred the cake mix, she was going to try and make a strawberry cake today for her Lord. She blinked as she felt someone appear behind her and blushed lightly as the person wrapped their arms around her waist and stepped closer to her. She huffed lightly as she concentrated on the task at hand. "Sebastion…I'm busy." She grumbled, blushing more, knowing she couldn't cook as well as he could.
He chuckled and rested his chin on her head and watched as she concentrated, very cutely, on the cake mix. "I know my dear, I'm just simply supervising." Sebastian said, taking a pinch of sugar and adding it in to the cake mix.
She rolled her eyes, "Uh huh, sure." She grumbled as she mixed in the extra sugar. He was always making sure she did things better to please their master sooner.
He chuckled a bit more and moved his hands to cover hers, smirking as she jumped lightly and almost dropped the bowl, cake mix and all. "What are you doing? You almost made me drop it!" She snapped, glaring at him.
He smiled as he moved his hands, showing her how to mix the cake mix in a way that made it light and fluffy, just the way Ciel liked it. "Just showing you how to do it right."
She blushed and nodded, "Thanks."
He smiled, even though she couldn't see it and hummed. "Watashi wa aku made shitsuji desu kara(I'm just one hell of a butler)." He said and Kagome narrowed his eyes.
"Akuma(Devil)." Kagome growled at him and he just smiled. It was nice having someone who knew about his kind. Ciel knew that he was a devil in general, but she, she knew about demonic customs and species. Kagome was a Japanese miko, in a way, and an immortal like himself, she'd been alive for hundreds of years, having been thrown back in time and was waiting out the years for her own time.
She even had experience fighting against those like himself...and like the others.
Besides, she was quite clumsy when fighting and made it more entertaining. Unlike Meirin, who was only clumsy when she had on her glasses, Kagome was just...clumsy. In an adorably endearing way that never really broke anything.
He could feel the angry tick as he thought of the dishes Meirin had just recently broken.
He blinked as he heard their master call him, and pouted lightly as he let go of her hands and pulled away. "The young lord calls, and I must go."
She nodded and turned to smile at him, "Let him know I'm making strawberry cake, please. And to not get his hopes up, because I'm not letting you help more than you already have."
"I will inform him tea will be slightly later than normal as well. After all...it is you cooking." He smiled and bowed to her as he disappeared into the shadows.
She smiled lightly as she poured the cake mix into the pan; there he was showing off again. He knew she was the Shikon no Miko, just as she knew his parents were Sesshoumaru and Rin. In fact, it was because her powers called to his that he convinced their lord and master to hire her, having a healer and someone who could put up barriers came in handy with their line of work.
She frowned, wondering if Sebastian would go through with eating the young master's soul. Knowing him, probably not. He'd probably remove the soul from Ciel's body, but instead send it to be reincarnated early. Sebastian was a inu youkai, after all, and they ate physical bodies rather than souls. He just liked playing with his meals.
She smiled happily as she put the cake pan in the oven and shut the door, now all she had to do was wait. She sighed as she sat down in one of the kitchen chairs, she didn't really have much to do at the large mansion, Sebastian did most of the work, he was a perfectionist. She blinked as she felt said man's aura brush against hers, did he require her assistance?
She got up from her spot, smoothing out her maid's outfit and made her way to their Lord's room. She paused at the door and knocked on it lightly waiting for them to bid her entrance. She quietly opened the door and stepped in her gaze on the ground. Sebastian always sent out a call when the young lord wanted her.
"You called for me my lord?" She heard someone shuffle around and blinked as the person stopped in front of her.
Ciel stared at the small Japanese woman he had hired months ago, due to Sebastian's urging. In these past months she had proved herself a very good asset, and now she was trying to learn how to bake his favorite cake. He knew it was odd for him to take interest in someone, let alone one of his employees but, she was a special case, she had saved his life many times in the past few months. "Kagome…would you like to join us for our morning tea?"
Kagome blinked, did…did her lord and master just invite her to tea? She flushed and bowed, "If that is what you wish my lord, but…the cake…"
She blinked as he patted her arm and walked past her, "Don't worry about it, it'll be fine. Please change into something more comfortable and meet us in the gazebo." She nodded and bowed to him before she exited the room to change into a kimono she had been given by Rin...so many years ago. Her eyes softened at the thought of the human child turned youkai. How was she doing? It'd been a while since she visited them in Japan...
She blushed as she looked over herself in her mirror, she looked acceptable, she mused, her kimono was a plain deep blue, her obi was a dark pink, almost purple color. Over the shoulders golden flowers and butterflies lay decoratively, making the kimono more elegant looking than it actually was. She smiled at herself in the mirror before turning around only to gasp lightly her hand over her heart.
"Sebastian!" She huffed as he smiled at her and pulled her into his arms giving her a light kiss.
She sighed and relaxed in his arms lightly before pulling away. "We should get going out Lord is waiting for us." Sebastian smirked and kissed her once more before letting her go. He always kept a watch on the time, but she was so paranoid about being late.
She smiled as he lead the way out of her room and to the Gazebo, she blinked as she saw the cake she put in the oven only minutes before sitting on the table fully cooked, with decorative icing. She glanced at Sebastian and he smirked at her holding out her chair for her to sit in. She took her seat and smiled lightly at her lord who was sitting across from her.
He nodded at her as Sebastian sliced and served her cake. "It looks quite good." She blushed at his praise and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"Thank you, my lord."
He nodded. "Call me Ciel, while you are a guest at my table."
She blushed more but nodded, how was it that her lord, who was quite few years younger than her, she might add, could make her blush so much? Either way, she nodded and watched with baited breath as he took a bite of her cake.
She blinked as he smiled at her. "It tastes as good as it looks. I wouldn't mind eating your cake first thing in the morning from now on."
She flushed a bright red and looked down at her hands. "Ano…if you wish it…I can make a cake for you every morning…though, I'm not sure how well it will turn out." He nodded as he took a sip of tea and placed his cup back on the table.
"That would be nice, Kagome." She nodded as she enjoyed the morning sun, it was nice eating cake with her lord and with Sebastian watching, as a butler should, she smiled happily, from the look of things she would get to do it much more often. She just hoped every cake turned out this good, without Sebastian messing with it.
Looking up towards Sebastian, seeing his knowing smile, she blushed and looked to her master, who seemed to have the same knowing smile.
Oh shit, she mentally cursed, they knew she had a crush on them both...Looking back and forth between the two she could almost see the plan forming between them. Tilting her head to the side she decided on the innocent route, for now.
"Do I have something on my face?" She asked Ciel, whom smiled.
"Was I staring? I apologize." He said just as Sebastian leaned down to her ear and whispered.
"Not yet, you don't."
Kagome blushed. Oh bugger.
