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 Thirteen: Pretty Kitty
x . . . . x
Angry and annoyed Kagome made her way to the Phantomhive manor – intent on speaking to Ciel about his blasted butler and how he had to get the man under control. Hailing a carriage she placed all her purchases in the seat beside her and directed the driver to Ciel's current residence. Lips pursed she sat straight on the bumpy ride, thoughts filled with crimson eyes and a seductive smile. She didn't want the demon. He was cruel and thrived off pain and the souls of the damned. How could she ever want someone like that?
Hanyou Inuyasha may have been but there was good within him.
Where was the good in Sebastian? He was cultivating a young boy's soul, manipulating him so that he could later devour it.
Directing her gaze outside she watched the more than modest home come into view. She knew that when Ciel came to town there he had another home, but this was the first she had seen of it. It was elegant and soft like the rest of the Phantomhive households but outside there was a row of flowers that made the place seem… brighter somehow. Sighing she caught sight of Sebastian who was gazing around suspiciously before going around the house. Cerulean hues narrowed as the carriage stopped at the front gate.
She quickly turned to the driver as she leaped out without any help from the man and informed him hurriedly, "Please take my things to the door and a man, Inuyasha, will pay your for the drive."
She began to march after the demon, knowing he was probably up to no good but the carriage driver called after her, a disgruntled look upon his slightly dirty features, "But ma'am I don' think yer undahst - "
She was half way to the point where Sebastian disappeared to and called back, "He'll pay double!" and the carriage driver smiled and nodded his head. She rolled her eyes at the greedy man and lifted her skirts to avoid getting them dirty [really to prevent falling]. She moved quietly as she peered around the house, wondering why he would look so suspicious.
Crimson lips curled into a light frown as she looked into the shadowed area of the home and a small 'mew' reached her ears. She turned her gaze downward and saw a white and black patched kitten curling trying to climb her dress on wobbly legs. Like all women – cute and fluffy caused a squeal and she immediately scooped the kitten into her arms.
"Oh you are so cute!" she sighed as she began to pet, her fingers moving of the baby fine fur. A clearing of a throat had her turn toward the sound and there stood Sebastian a kitten in each arm and another balancing precariously on his head.
"Hello Miss Higurashi." He greeted smoothly. "I believe you have something of mine." He looked pointedly at the kitten in her arms.
She arched a brow, "Yours? Do demons have cats?"
A smirk curled his lips that would have made a lesser woman faint, "This one does. Now please, hand over the kitten. They are recently orphaned and must be fed several times a day in order to survive and that one needs feeding unless you wanted to help." He offered lightly but she quickly declined and offered the kitten back.
"No, thank you. I came here to speak to Ciel. Good day!" she called, turning tail and running. She couldn't resist looking back and was surprised to see Sebastian offering the kittens a small bowl of milk and even going so far as using a type of dropper to feed the runt of the litter. A blush enflamed her cheeks and she disappeared inside. She made her way the office on auto pilot where Inuyasha and Ciel were talking business.
"Thanks for making me pay double for cab, wench!" Inuyasha scowled. At her dazed expression he immediately stood, brows furrowing in concern. "Kagome – are you okay? Did something happen? Did that bastard demon do something to you?"
Coming from her daze she looked into Inuyasha's concerned eyes, "Huh? Oh! Umm – no. Everything is fine." She looked toward Ciel and then back to Inuyasha. She offered him a bright smile and a quick kiss to the cheek, "No, everything is wonderful! I just wanted to show you my purchases!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "This couldn't wait?" she shrugged lightly and he grunted in acknowledgement, "Later, this is important."
"Alright! Excuse my interruption, Ciel!" she called lightly. He nodded in her direction and she fled the room and took a seat in the hall, her mind drifting to Sebastian feeding the silly kittens.

If there was one thing Sebastian did well – it was manipulate people into seeing what he wanted them to see and Kagome? She was just too easy.

'Gome Yuki:: This chapter is for anonymous viewer "snoeshine". I appreciate you for being loyal and honest with me! You're wonderful whomever you are :3 For the rest of my reviewers, just so you know, if shit hits the fan here later I want you all to know that I don't flame stories. I never have and never will. Not anonymously and not logged in. If you read my other stuff, you know I hate flamers. You also know I hate drama but someone sees fit to bring me into drama and try and copy my writing style to make it seem like I am flaming them anonymously because I gave them constructive criticism and even offered to help them! They are also having friends log in anonymously and trash talk me. I won't give out a name [yet, unless they decide to continue then the war gates have been opened and by all means do what you want] because I know some of you will have heart attacks and go and flame her right back. I really hope this doesn't turn into a bitch fest. I'm here to write – not to have some idiot try and make themselves look better by reviewing their OWN stories and make me look bad. But I love ALL of you. Each and every one person that has stuck by me!
On another note, KAGOME DIDN'T TATTLE ON SEBBY :DD yeah – because she sees there may be something worth saving – too bad it was all manipulation :3
