If there was one thing he was aware of that his kind shared with that of humans, it would be they both felt hunger. They both had the need to feed. Beyond that, and the fact that demons could be killed, albeit with great difficulties, then that was where all similarities ended.

But this current hunger had nothing to do with feeding. No, it was almost, human. And it was brought on by a woman.

It was more than a physical desire, though he wouldn't deny himself that the idea had on occasion crossed his mind. He could feel the brightness of her soul, the crispness against his own darkness, and he wanted all that was Kagome Higurashi.

There were times as he watched her that would call up foggy images of a life he once may have had. But he cared not for those. No. At first, he thought it was her soul, an ultimate meal, that drove his hunger. Imagine his surprise when he soon learned that the idea of doing such and destroying all that she was, left a bad taste in his mouth.

No, he wanted the tiny woman as she was for himself.

"Oh! Um, Ciel, I think Kikyo was looking for you." Kagome halted when she turned around and nearly crashed into the ever hovering butler.

Ciel smirked at the slight coloring of her cheeks. "Is she?" he took in her outfit for the day, a lovely gown in peaches and gold, making her look at the softer, sweeter and ripe for the taking. "Did she say what it pertained to?" he smirked at the charming blush that stole over her cheeks at having caught him admiring her form.

"Some… something about contracts?" small hands pressed to her stomach as she took half a step back, his instincts howling at the subtle show of fear.

While he chased her with slow and sure steps, trapping her into a corner, his mind puzzled over the information his little prey had just given him. His 'Mistress' was beckoning him through her cousin, a curious method since Lady Kikyo had sold her soul to him and established a contract and connection with him. Now she wanted to go over said contract? Just what, was his food trying to play at?

"I see. I should thank you for relaying the message to me." he flashed another smile at her startled squeak when her back bumped into the wall, saliva pooling in his cheeks as her scent perfumed the air between them.

"C-Ciel, this is highly inappropriate!" the strong beginning of her scolding ended in a breathy whisper when his hands took hold of her waist.

So tiny, his prey, so easy to break. And yet, she held such untapped power. Similar to her cousin in the ability to wield such a destructive force, but woefully untrained in comparison. A delightful danger. Though a ploy of Kikyo's to keep Kagome as weak as possible, making her so ripe for plucking really.

"Mm? Is it truly?" blue eyes flashed up at Kagome's flustered face, tongue darting out to barely trail up her neck. His stomach twisted at her flavor, heart pounding as -that- hunger grew to an inferno. "A man and a woman being together are wrong?"

"Y-yes. Especially when they have no relations or relationship!" a whimper escaped her when her head was nudged to allow him to nip at her earlobe, her fingers curling against his chest. They shook as she attempted to apply force and push him away.

Smirking, Ciel continued to lavish his physical attentions on the young woman. There was no love, if she did in some way come to love him, he would hoard that as well with everything she could give him. Because he would have all of her. Those thoughts flew from his mind when he felt that his 'Mistress' was now actively calling for him through their shared bond. She did have the worst of timing.

"Hm, it seems I must return to my duties." he crowded into even more as he nipped at her lower lip, eying how it became puffy and much more red from his treatment. He mentally winced when Lady Kikyo was now 'shouting' from him to attend her

Stepping away from the pretty little woman, he straightened his appearance and made to where Kikyo was. Perhaps it was time to redraw their contract. Until then, perhaps it was also time to 'assist' Kagome with her nightly duties and make his designs of her clear.
