It was a fairly normal day.
Ciel liked fairly normal days. They were quiet, peaceful, and nothing out of the ordinary happened (besides the obvious mishaps that come from living with a demon butler and a gang of unruly servants, that is). So he was very relieved when the crisp autumn afternoon proved to be nothing more than a normal day.
Or so he thought.
It all began when the doorbell rang. It was a dreaded noise to Ciel. Nobody ever showed up out of the blue like this.
Nobody except Elizabeth.
"Answer it, Sebastian," he ordered through gritted teeth. The butler nodded obediently and made his way to the door. But he wasn't expecting what he saw.
Instead of an obnoxious blonde girl, standing on the doorstep was a petite figure clothed in a strapless black dress. Her raven hair was pulled up into two ponytails by silk red ribbons, and a matching ribbon laced around her waist. A crimson skull necklace adorned her neck. She smiled up at Sebastian, red eyes glinting with mischief underneath a Lolita hat. "It's been a long time, brother," she said in a voice like poison.
It was very rare that Sebastian showed any form of emotion. When he did it was quickly hidden and replaced with his usual stoic expression. But now was one of those instances where he was really and truly surprised. The girl smirked. "Surely you didn't forget me when you ran off with your Master? Speaking of, I want to meet him!" With that, she pushed past the stunned butler and dashed inside the mansion.
Ciel's first reaction was one of not only annoyance, but shock. The girl that was circling him and pulling curiously on his clothes bore a stunning resemblance to Sebastian. "My name is Edith," she introduced herself, grinning all the while. Ciel coughed and straightened the jacket that she had shifted during her 'inspection.' "Might I ask what exactly you're doing here?"
She rolled her eyes as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I've come for my brother!" she informed him, pointing at the butler, who was still standing in the doorway with a confused expression on his face. "S-Sebastian is your brother?" Ciel asked, wide-eyed. She nodded enthusiastically, ponytails bouncing. "Sebastian, so that's what you've named him! It's a beautiful name."
She suddenly slapped a hand to her forehead. "I almost forgot what I came to tell you!" Dashing back over to Sebastian, she smiled cheekily at him. "This year you're coming to our family reunion!"
Ciel stared in amazement. Demons had family reunions? He knew he shouldn't be surprised; Sebastian had already proved his kind were by no means normal. But the whole scenario was a lot to take in at once. "Sebastian," he said crossly. "How come you never told me you had a little sister?"
"You never asked, my lord."
His face was once again free of any emotion, but Ciel could almost see him smiling. "Well, I don't want you going to some stupid family reunion anyway." Sebastian smiled one of his fake-cheerfulness smiles, and turned to face Edith. "Well, that's that, I'm afraid." But she had no intention of letting him off the hook that easily. "You must go!" she insisted. "Somebody very important is going!"
"And who might that be?" Ciel snapped. "Another bloody demon? Perhaps it's your mother this time."
He was in no way serious, so he was caught completely off-guard when Edith nodded violently. "How did you know?" she giggled. "Our mother disappeared over a millennium ago, but now she's returned and will be attending the reunion!"
At this point both Ciel and Sebastian were ready to faint in disbelief.
