Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji, sadly. I just own Rina and the story rights. I must say I'm a little bummed since I have to do summer school for two classes. But not all of us are gifted in math and or math based sciences (me). That is why god gave me the gift of writing so I can bring you Blood Rose. Anyway I might stop doing dates since you guys know the basic time line of the series. Without further interruptions I bring to you the chapter!

:::

Summary: Just like the Rose she was both beautiful and deadly. She was beautiful like the satin red petals, and deadly like the thorns that adorn it's stem. And it was because of this that she seemed to captivate him. She was his beautiful rose and he intended on keeping it that way.

Chapter Eighteen: Immortalized Roses pt.4

:::

Rina breathed in deeply trying to ignore the looming figure behind her. There was always something nerve wracking about having someone watching her do anything.

"Would you mind giving me some space? Or is that too much to ask?" Rina glared at Sebastian whom held a smirk.

Rina had learned in the short few months of visiting her cousin, that his butler was annoying and enjoyed poking fun at her every chance he had. Add the fact that she didn't completely trust the man and that spelled trouble.

"Space? My lady I am simply standing here dusting. What kind of butler would I be if I did not complete my daily tasks?" He smirked knowing she hated his smart comebacks.

"A useless one.." she mumbled scribbling down her German.

Sebastian continued with his task while watching the girl.

His thoughts wandered.

'She's more feisty then I had perviously anticipated. Not only is she kind hearted but she also has a fiery spirit that most would not be able to hold a flame to.'

"Are you just going to stand there with that stupid smile or are you going to go? Ciel is calling you." Rina spoke with a hard stare.

Sebastian shook his head.

'Damn brat. What does he want this time?' Sebastian placed down his feather duster and left the library.

Rina relaxed visibly. Now she would be able to read in peace. Her fingers opened the leather bound copy of The Count of Monte Cristo. She always enjoyed a good romance book with a great plot. In this case it would be revenge.

:::

"You called my lord?" Sebastian stood at the foot f Ciel's desk.

"Call Rina in. I need her help with translating these German documents." Ciel spoke.

Sebastian's eye twitched. The brat could have gone down the hall to call her himself. Sebastian stiffly left to go summon Rina. He quietly opened the door to find her comfortably resting on the couch in the library reading a book.

"My lady, the young lord request that you come and help him with papers sent from Germany." Sebastian spoke.

Rina placed the book down face down and sighed.

"I swear I hate that I'm more well versed in languages." She mumbled walking down the hall down to the study.

"Alright Ciel let me see what you have." Rina didn't even bother with greeting Ciel.

"This document." Ciel handed it to her.

"Give me five minutes and I'll hand you the translation page." Rina immediately started to to translate the German down onto another piece of parchment.

Sebastian stood impressed with her abilities despite being only fifteen. She was translating the page as if she were natively German. Ciel sat staring at her the whole time. She finished handing the page to Ciel.

"If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask." She smiled sweetly heading back to the library.

Ciel watched as her hair swayed with her hips as she exited his office. He remembered comparing her beauty to a rose. He also remember all the men that came to his father and aunt requesting that they be allowed to court his cousin. Every once and awhile one was able to do so. The feeling of jealously soon consumed the boys very being. Rina always put him as highest priority and he did not like having to compete for her affections. Ciel gripped the pen in his hand. Now that he was head of his family, nothing would keep him from Rina. Not even her own mother.

"My lord you seem tense. Would you care for a snack?" Sebastian asked.

"Yes. Have our new cool Bardroy bake something sweet and make sure you bring some to Rina. I would imagine she would be hungry as well." Ciel spoke dismissing Sebastian.

Sebastian made his way to the kitchen to find Rina sitting on a stool watching Bardroy.

"I don't think Ciel would approve of your method of baking." She spoke skeptically.

"Nonsense my lady. Let old Bardroy show you how to cook with style." He held up a flame thrower.

Sebastian grabbed Rina and shielded her when the food exploded from the intense heat of Bard's flames.

Rina blushed sitting under Sebastian with his chest in her face.

"Must you always be an idiot?" Sebastian sighed dusting himself off and pulling Rina up.

"Eeep!" Rina screamed with her skirt on fire.

Sebastian with precision stripped Rina down to her corset and under skirt.

Bard turned in respect and Sebastian picked the girl up.

"Put me down! I can walk." She fussed.

Ciel ducked out of his office and turned extremely pink seeing her in her underclothes.

"What was that explosion and why is Rina in her underclothes?!" Ciel demanded.

"The cook made a mess causing miss Dalles skirt ignite from the flames." Sebastian spoke calmly.

"Well what are you waiting for. Go change her." Ciel closed the door.

"I can walk on my own." Rina whispered holding onto his coat.

"You seem to be a bit flush my lady. Besides you are not very heavy so it is not difficult to carry you." The butler placed her on her bed.

"I wasn't injured in anyway. My dress is ruined though. And it was one of my favorite ones too." Rina frowned as Sebastian pulled out a beautiful red silk gown with roses on the waist and bodice part.

"You can leave the dress here if you'd like. I believe I can fix it." Sebastian fought the urge to run his fingers down her body as he helped her into her dress.

"You can? The damage looks pretty devastating." Rina spoke as Sebastian laced up the back of her dress.

"Consider this as an early birthday present. It's not every day that a young lady turns sixteen." He smiled devilishly.

"What? How did you know my birthday was coming up?" Rina turned and faced Sebastian.

"Your mother was discussing preparations with the young lord. I just happened to be in the room serving tea." Sebastian turned Rina back around and began to brush her hair.

"Then you know what she is planing." Rina's eyes darkened slightly.

"What would that be?" Sebastian asked braiding her hair in a waterfall braid.

"She is trying to find me a suitor." Rina gave a distasteful look.

"You seem rather against the idea." Sebastian spoke placing three roses in her hair.

"Of course I am. I want to fall in love. Not be auctioned off to the highest bidder. I want to be like the girls in the novels I read. Free to love who they want and independent." Rina spoke turning to look at Sebastian.

"I guess that would not seem too implausible." Sebastian mused holding his hand out.

"If you would please follow me my lady." He spoke.

"Where are we going?" Rina smiled softly as Sebastian led her back to the kitchen.

"I noticed while you were watching the cook that food preparation interested you. I thought you would like to watch me prepare a snack for both the lord and yourself." Sebastian rolled his sleeves up and removed his gloves.

Rina watched intently not really paying attention to his hands but the food they were touching.

"Wait are you making a pie?" Rina asked as he lined the pie tin after prepping dough.

"Why no. I am making a mixed berry tart." Sebastian spoke.

Rina nodded. She always loved watching the cook when she was younger. In fact, she would sit on Vincent's lap while watching the old cook. This house contained such fawned memories for her. She gave a blissful smile.

"What are you thinking of my lady?" Sebastian questioned.

"Oh nothing Sebastian. Just memories." Rina spoke before Sebastian placed the tart in the oven.

"Well my lady I believe it is time for you to finish your lessons. Your mother instructed that you finish your German and French before bed." Sebastian spoke with a knowing look

"I know I know. I'm going." Rina turned and left the kitchen.

Sebastian's eyes trailed the sway of her hips.

'Just wait. When she reaches full maturity her body will be craving my touch.' Sebastian though as he pictured himself claiming the young female.

Being alone for so long did effect him. He knew that fully well. Now that he has found his mate, Sebastian will do everything in his power to make sure she ends up in his grasp. She just didn't realize who she truly belong to. Hearing her speak of love so dear made him chuckle. It must be nice going through life with such a blissfully unaware view of the world. He could tell she had not really experienced the true world in its full darkness. Oh he would enjoy the look of utter break in her eyes when she figures the truth out. He would be waiting with arms open for her to embrace him. And when she did she would become entangled in his web of temptation and lust, completely altering her forever.
