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.

Aching Darkness
Chapter Three: Miko

x . . . . x

Sebastian purred lightly to himself.

So the miko wanted a game, did she? Calling out what he was like that... he almost tsked.

Instead, he stood straight, as was his duty, and placed himself at the side of his master's chair.

"Well, well, the miko knows her polar opposites, does she?" Sebastian chuckled lightly and it was true. Youkai were thought as the opposite to miko with the way their aura's clashed but the traditional youkai aura had the ability to mold and mingle with miko aura's. A true demon, which he undoubtedly was, could never achieve the same; their aura's would suffocate the miko's. Youkai and miko could create offspring and their offspring would be both but a demon and a miko child would be purely demon.

"How do you know?" Ciel demanded, ignoring his butler, while Inuyasha snorted.

"The butler just said it, didn't he?" the inu-hanyou sneered. "She's a miko."

The blank look that was offered had Kagome clear her throat. "I can sense demon and youkai." she murmured in response.

"I do not know what a 'youkai' is." the young head offered loftily.

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Youkai are animal or element based demons and demons are just demons. They are the root of evil."

Ciel turned to Sebastian and snorted, "That describes you just fine."

"Indeed it does, young master, indeed it does." he retorted, his eyes remaining on Kagome who met his crimson eyed stare head on.

Inuyasha growled lowly to the butler, knowing how demons got when close to the pure. "Don't even think about it."

Tilting his head to the side, Sebastian offered an innocent smile, "I have no idea what you mean, Lord Matsuda."

Inuyasha merely narrowed his violet hued eyes at the butler.

"Not many know what Sebastian truly is." Ciel spoke, his sapphire eye gleaming as he spoke carefully. "Most that knew are dead."

"Is that a threat?" Kagome asked, somewhat in awe that a ningenchild was threatening her and Inuyasha. Youkai child, sure, ningen? No.

Ciel shrugged his shoulders, "Take it as you will."

Sebastian looked down at the boy, "Master... I do not think it wise to let them leave without sharing information. They are your business partners, after all, and you seem hell bent on keeping them as such. Threatening them will do no good and actually killing them could be a future issue. Besides..." he leaned down and whispered softly in the boy's ear. "Aren't you a tad curious as to what he is?" he inquired lowly, eyes flickering in Inuyasha's direction.

In truth, Sebastian just wanted Kagome as close as possible.

"Lord Matsuda, Lady Higurashi, why don't you spend the evening here and we can discuss this in further detail. It was a shock, as you can see, to find someone that can pick out what Sebastian is so easily." Ciel easily soothed with a half-truth.

Kagome quickly nodded her head at the idea, "I would like that! I am curious as to why you have a bond with Sebastian. Inuyasha?" she inquired, offering him a bright smile.

He looked as though he would protest, but one look at the young woman and he his scowl wilted and he nodded but at the triumphant look in Sebastian's eyes, his scowl came back full force.
