Kari: Hello, dear readers~! 3
Mei: What she said, hello~
Kari: Now, many of you will be asking in how the story was born,
Mei: And we'll tell ya, alright! Now, it all started at class, we had like, a huge spare of time, and we were doing our own thing. Homework. Somehow, a cute plotbunny couple decided to reside in my mind, and intended to make a huge family!
Kari: Then she told me that she wanted to make a Xover between -man and Kuroshitsuji, and I was all like why the heck not?! I was pretty excited, honestly. When I arrived home, we instantly texted each other.
Mei: The only problem was the fact in who's account will it be posted? We discussed about it for a while before we decided to make an account in which we can make our collaborations in!
Kari: We take turns in doing the Xover. Before, the plot was rather short, and...not fit to be a series. So then my plotbunnies decided to help, and extended the plot.
Kari&Mei: And thus, this story was out of its womb!...Ok, that was unnecessary information, we know. But other than that, read on~
The Queen, The Dog, The Demon and The Clown - A spoilt brat they met
"Walker."
Allen sighed at the booming voice of his supposed 'watch dog', who, in his defence watches him like a hawk 24/7. "Yes, Link?" The teen strained a smile, hiding his annoyance by touching his tone with a sweet one. An overly sweet one.
The Crow member seemed to be unfazed by Allen's annoyance and narrowed his eyes into dangerous slits. "Komui requested for you. And only you and your...friends." The man spat out the word with such venom that it slightly stung the young teen, but kept on his smile even though twitched lightly. "Thank you, Link. I'll be on my way." And with that Allen left his room.
.
.
.
"Komui-san?" Allen piped up from his place on the couch between Lenalee and Lavi. He had arrived by Komui's office a few minutes ago along with Kanda, Lenalee and Lavi. And through those minutes everyone was silent. Dreadfully silent that Komui didn't even burst into hysterics when Allen sat beside his dear sister.
"Allen."
Allen snapped his attention to the supervisor, who looked very serious. Something was going on.
"Kanda. Lavi. And Lenalee."
Each teen addressed locked their gazes on the beret wearing man, his glasses reflecting the light of the room. The atmosphere was tense, too tense for anyone's good that you could slice it up with a knife.
Finally, and thankfully, the silence was broken by Komui clearing his throat and explaining about their mission. "The Pope" Komui and the other occupants of his office narrowed their eyes at the title "said that some finders sighted Noahs and many Akuma activities took place in Russia. They assumed that perhaps the Heart was found."
The four teens widened their eyes, skeptical. The Heart? Found that easily? There was no way. But then again, if it were true, then humanity would cease to exist.
"So...It's just a grab and go back mission?" Allen spoke up after a few moments of rueful silence, fiddling with the hem of his exorcist coat.
Komui shook his head gravely. "Not particularly just that. There are Noahs. If you bump into one of them, stick together and fight. But if others decide to join in, contact the Order and back up will be in your way."
The four exorcists spared each other a last glance before nodding at Komui, standing up. "So, when do we go for Russia?"
"Today. And the Pope allows you access to the Ark. And Link won't be involved. Don't worry, Leverrier's right hand man knew before we did."
Allen blinked incredulously before nodding dumbly.
.
.
.
"Are you all ready?" Komui inquired, adjusting his glasses as he glanced at the four young exorcists. Allen smiled and nodded, Kanda just gave his signature 'che', Lavi grinned enthusiastically while Lenalee nodded her head in determination.
"Right then, be safe on your journey, you four!" That was what reached the four exorcists ears before they fully entered the Ark.
As always, the Ark was white, squeaky clean as if nothing had stepped foot in it. Allen and his companions walked up to a white door without any numbers or anything that indicated it has pin pointed a location.
Humming a familiar tune, Allen thought of Russia. But something was wrong. He suddenly felt a hard throb in his head. And he felt...a disconnection to something. Something...big.
"Allen-kun, what's happening?!" "Allen! Oi!" "Baka moyashi, snap out of it!" And Allen opened his eyes, only to retaliate and wince at the bright light. All he saw was white, before the complete opposite consumed him.
Silver eyes opened as pained groans were heard. "Ahh...It feels like my Innocence hit me in the head..." The voice of Lavi whined apathetically as he sat up, wincing.
Once the four adapted to the throbbing, they managed to stand up. And of course the first thing that came out of Kanda was an accusation.
"What the hell did you fucking do, moyashi?!" Allen twitched at the dreaded nickname used by his older companion. "My name is Allen!" The cursed teen retorded haughtily, glaring at Kanda.
The samurai scowled, "Baka moyashi, I didn't ask for your fucking name! I asked what the hell did you fucking do to the Ark?!" "I didn't do anything, BaKanda!" The younger snapped, patience running dangerously thin.
"That's enough!"
The loud bellow of Lenalee rang through the blank looking room. She glared at the arguing lot before a redhead pat her shoulder, trying to calm her.
"Lenalee, it'll be fine. I don't think it was Allen's fault anyway!" The redhead said indignantly, backing up the whitette, who was trembling like a leaf in fear of the furious Lenalee.
The ugly look from the female excorcist's face disappeared but her tone of voice didn't. "Something happened to the Ark. If its not Allen's fault, who's it?" Came the stern voice of the female excorcist.
The two less arrogant males of the room shrugged their shoulders while Kanda just che'd, causing Lenalee to sigh. "Nevermind. Let's continue our journey on foot." She grumbled, clenching her teeth.
Kanda scowled but put on his jacket regardless. The whitette followed. Lavi too. The female frowned as she stepped outside.'This isn't Russia!' she thought in dismay.
"It's London!" Allen exclaimed, taking in the rather unfamiliar scenery before him. "But, how?" "It's your fucking fault, moyashi! You got us into this!" Kanda hissed, glaring at the town beyond him.
"How many times must I tell you, its Allen, BaKanda!" The whitette shot back, teeth ground. "I don't need to learn names from you, moyashi!" The older fumed, taking a fistful of Allen's coat and draws his other fist ready to strike.
Lenalee glared at the quarrelling duo. "Allen, Yuu-chan, stop fighting! We don't even know which direction to go!" The redhead cried, pushing the squabbling lot apart from each other.
Kanda was about to direct his aim to the usagi but decided not to by the glare Lenalee was sending him.
Kanda begrudgingly let Allen go roughly, dropping the boy and earning a wince from the younger. "Right. We continue our journey to the right," The whitette said, pointing to a random direction.
"Really?" Lavi asked, scratching his head in confusion. "I'm not really sure," Allen admitted, fiddling with the locks of white hair nervously. The other exorcists huffed and tried to make out their next destination.
.
.
.
"It's okay, Allen. That forest looks like a good spot. Let's walk there then rest for awhile, "Lenalee smiled kindly at the whitette, and Allen nodded hesitantly.
"Its okay, Allen-chan!" Lavi chirped, his face brightening. "I'm quite scatterbrained myself!" Kanda however, burst into a fit of coughs and hacks that it sounded likely that he was dying.
"Moyashi can barely remember a thing, his brain is the size of himself." Kanda snickered, finally calmed from his fit.
"I'm 5'8, I'm not that short, BaKanda!"
Lenalee nudged the dark eyed teen in the elbow. "Hush, Kanda. You could barely figure out the directions yourself," she snapped, glaring at him.
Kanda glared back but begun walking towards the forest. As they got there, the team of exorcists settled down for awhile.
But they heard voices in the distance. And Allen's cursed eye twitched slightly. 'An Akuma?!' he thought, looking around his surroundings, trying to stay alert.
Allen sat up straight, trying to peer through the bushes that hid them. A well dressed young man was walking with a boy with teal hair who looked to be about the range of twelve and thirteen.
"Sebastian, who are our unwanted visitors?" The boy inquired, authority clear in the young voice as the piercing blue eyes directed at Allen. 'Shit! They spotted us! Dammit!'Allen thought, panic-stricken and a bit guilty he had given him and his friends out like that. He was always on guard, why did he suddenly...fail his friends—no, family like that?!
The tall man beside the boy glanced at them.
Red eyes spotted the whitette, and a smile curved at the edge of the raven's—Sebastian, Allen presumed—lips that gave Allen a small shudder crawl up his spine. "Why, we have guests, young master, isn't that right, good sir?"
"I don't trust this fucker..." Kanda muttered to his companions, and for once, the whole group agreed with the samurai.
Clinks were heard before wind rushed by the four teens in an alarming rate. "Now, that wasn't nice. Isn't it...?" The voice of Sebastian spoke dangerously close to Allen's ear, hot breath ghosting his cheeks and Allen's left eye throbbed painfully. As if screaming at him an Akuma was close. But none were there. Unless...
Allen side glanced the man who crossed his personal space and met red cat-like eyes that shone ominously. The cursed teen was shell-shocked. Paralysed, as if the cat-like eyes of the man pierced his soul. It felt...uncomfortable. His heart rate picked up, and it was like Tyki all over again.
Sebastian then smiled and glanced back at the boy. "Its okay, young master. They mean no harm," Ciel squinted at the group but his eyes landed on Allen alone. He nodded at Sebastian.
"You'd better come with us. It looks like its going to rain," Sebastian offered, looking up into the grey and gloomy clouds. Allen and the others had no choice but to accept. Well, a little bit of blackmailing their most prideful one of their group, it worked, thankfully. They still didn't trust the stranger but they were willing to accept the offer. Or in Kanda's case, trapped.
"So he's kidnapping us now?!" He hissed into Lenalee's ear. "No. He and the boy are just going to harbour us till the rain stops. Right?" She turned to Sebastian.
Sebastian shot her a sly grin. "Right..."
.
.

Upon entering the mansion, it was like entering a piece of heaven, if it weren't for the ominous explosions from somewhere, a panicked yell and black staining the fancy looking railings of the stair case.
The young boy sighed, exasperated while Sebastian let a frown etch his handsome features. The man turned to the four teens and placed a hand to his chest and bowed. "Forgive us for the commotion. It is sadly a usual occurrence."
"AHHH! SEBASTIAN-SAN AND YOUNG MASTER HAS RETURNED! QUICKLY!" A panicked female voice yelled as rushed footsteps echoed the mansion. Confusing three of the exorcists and aggravating one of them.
A comical dust cloud rushed in front of the six people by the entrance, and once the dust cleared, there stood a messy blonde hair man, blue eyes inquiring as they stared at the four people in front of him, a cancer stick between his lips. A red haired woman with her hair in pigtails, wearing think rimmed glasses and blushing bashfully between the two blondes. The last was a short...boy? a clump of his blonde fringe clipped with two red clips, big baby blue eyes a bit confused.
"G-guests?!" The one with glasses exclaimed, flabbergasted at the four exorcists.
Allen smiled slightly. "Sorry to intrude, but it was raining. Mister Sebastian here offered us to stay here until the rain calms down. After that we'll be on our way." The whitette spoke with a sweet voice, causing the red haired woman to blush.
Lavi noticed this and grinned slyly at his white haired friend. "Well, doesn't she remind me of a certain someone?" The red head cooed silently at Allen.
The younger clicked his tongue and whacked the red head a top his head, earning a wince in return. "Ow, moyashi-chan is so mean~" The green eyed teen whined, clutching his head.
Kanda twitched, irritation radiating from his body language. Lenalee patted the samurai's shoulder trying to calm him down. Sebastian checked his pocket watch and let a small frown twitch on his lips. He pocketed it back into his vest and placed a gloved hand on his chest. "Why, I haven't introduced myself, I am Sebastian Mechaelis, head butler of the Phantomhive staff. These three here are Bardroy, " The tallest out of the three waved "Mey-rin," The red haired woman flushed and sputtered when her name was called and stuttered a small hello, bowing "and lastly, Finnian." The last one to be introduced flashed a bright smile and gave an enthusiastic "Hello!".
The man then turned to the young boy, tilting his head towards the four teens. "Ceil Phantomhive, head of the Phantomhive household and the Queen's Dog." The young boy addressed as Ceil spoke with a cold look in his one visible eye, authority laced in his voice not fitting for a child his age.
Allen pulled a smile not reaching his eyes. "I'm Allen Walker, the female here is Lenalee Lee," Lenalee waved her hand with a wide smile "the red head is Lavi, no surname," Said red head grinned "and...the girly haired one here—" "Baka moyashi, I will murder you!" "—it's Allen, BaKanda! Ahem, this is Kanda Yuu. But call him Kanda unless you have a death wish." Allen finished nonchalantly, but his silver eyes were still having a staring contest with dark ones.
Sebastian smirked at the interaction. "A pleasure meeting all of you, Mister Walker. Now, if you'd like, we have guest rooms for you to settle in meanwhile."
Allen thought of it for a moment before accepting the unspoken offer, followed by his comrades. The red eyed man smiled before shooing away the other staff, telling them to try do something useful other than destroying the mansion. Mey-rin and Finnian bowed and apologized profusely while Bardroy huffed and went for the kitchen.
Once the two staff went away, Sebastian turned to the four exorcists and gestured towards the staircase where Ciel had already went up.
The four exorcists eyed the butler with suspicion before stepping up the first case of stairs. Upon arriving the long hallway.
"We have paired rooms and single. Which would you like?"
"Single." The four exorcists instantly chorused.
Sebastian blinked in slight surprise before smirking. "But if you could, the rooms aren't too far away from each other?" Allen instantly added on second thought. If this man really was an Akuma, then the child is in big danger. "Of course." The man nodded curtly before leading the way.
Not long after, Sebastian halted. He turned to face the doors of the hallway. He gestured to the door a not too far from where they were "That room would be Miss Lee's" Lenalee smiled before going to the door, clicking it open "The room next to Miss Lee's is Mister Lavi's" "Thanks!" The red head chirped and went off "this would be Mister Kanda's" Kanda che'd before opening the door "And lastly, this room is your's, Mister Walker." He finished as he opened the door before Allen.
"You should all change to your evening attire, tea will be prepared." "Okay!" "Sure!" "Che, whatever."
"Thank you for letting us stay, we'll make sure we won't be a burden." Allen said curtly and turned to his room. "Oh, Mister Walker, you're not a burden. But might be just the thing to spice up the fun...exorcists..." Hot breath ghosted Allen's ear, and he turned around, only to find an empty hall.
Silver eyes widened. "What the hell just happened...?"
