Pairing

: Sebastian/Kagome

Summary

: He was a demon and it was natural that he ached to corrupt her purity so completely and thoroughly that she would never be able to flee the darkness and so corrupt her he did.

" - don't think you realize the implications of your actions, Lord Matsuda!" Ciel continued to rave at the man before him. Inuyasha merely blinked once and then again before he opened his mouth to retort.

"Actually, brat, I know exactly what my actions did. My brother didn't want to risk scandal and in order to prevent that from happening, we're here. The other option was completely cutting ourselves off from your damn company. Which do you want, kid? We provide you a service because of your father and my brother respected him. Without our high quality materials, you'd be fucked, with making high quality toys and this drug shit ain't good for image." The small Japanese woman at his side scowled prettily and hit the arm closest to her while she sipped her 'too strong' tea, her cerulean gaze not on the boy but rather the butler behind him, listening only with half an ear to the conversation.

She knew that there was something completely off about him. His aura was just as dark as Naraku's and it made her shudder just the same yet there wasn't that animalistic quality that youkai in Japan had.

It seemed as though there wasn't an animal base like with Inuyasha, Kouga, or Sesshoumaru or even an elemental base like with Kagura and her wind.

She had never met any other creature like him before and her eyes narrowed further.

And with the way he looked at her - like he knew what she was, unsettled her greatly.

"You dare treat the Head of the Phantomhive - "

Inuyasha didn't allow the boy to continue and instead pushed on ruthlessly, "Head of nothing, kiddo. You ain't got shit but wealth and fear to your name. Your father was a real Head of Household and you are nothing more than a childish brat trying to fill his shoes."

"Inuyasha." Kagome gasped, her eyes dark. Sebastian watched the exchange with barely concealed amusement. Ciel's anger was palpable and Inuyasha's temper legendary.

It wasn't often that the Phantomhives dealt with their Japanese trading partners and it had always been during Vincent Phantomhive's reign. Ciel had never had the honor [read displeasure] to meet the younger of the Matsuda brothers or his lovely traveling companion that was there to keep his temper low [which she was doing an awful job of, by the way].

"The brat needs to get off his high horse and hear some reason, Kagome." Inuyasha grumbled, looking away, his dark bangs falling into his eyes.

"Oh you are out of line, Inuyasha." Kagome growled lowly. Sebastian senses prickled at the rise of power that came with her anger. His power rose with hers and seeped into the room and danced toward her, itching to play. Kagome paused and flicked her gaze to crimson eyes tinged with bright pink swirling within their bloody depths. Being connected to his demon in a contracted way, Ciel felt the rise in his butler's normally malicious aura.

"Sebastian." he called sharply, lowly. "I command that you stop." he nearly hissed to prevent his guests from hearing knowing how humans reacted to the cold hand of darkness that Sebastian wore like his everyday clothing.

When the power touched Kagome, surprise shown within her eyes and the creature's name came to her full force.

True demon.

"If the boy has contacted a demon then obviously there are some issues here we know nothing about." Kagome continued, looking back at her companion.

Ciel's eye widened and Sebastian's smile could not get any wider.

'Gome Yuki:: Yep. Let's face it, it wouldn't have taken Kagome long to figure out what Sebastian really was. So I wasn't going to drag it out. She's also too nosey in the sense she would want to know why a demon was there and would have to say something.
