Chapter 1: Dream
It all started with a dream…
Satomi's clothes…Sakura…Queen Victoria…DEMON!
"My lord. Wake up, my lord."
Ciel opened his eyes and saw his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, red eyes staring down at him.
"Ugh." Ciel claimed sitting up with his bluish green bed hair. "What's for breakfast?"
"Today is Earl Grey Tea with scones."Sebastian replied. His black hair and black clothes all neatly in place pouring the tea into the cup delicately.
"Today's plans?" Ciel asked covering his right eye with a black patch and then opening the newspaper.
"You have nothing besides the fact you need to catch up on all your invitations." Sebastian said with a smirk placing the tea down in front of Ciel. Ciel ignored this keeping his blue eye on the newspaper. "And John is here."
"John? The queen's butler?" Ciel said to himself still wondering about his dream. After all the dream had to be related to Queen Victoria since her name showed up. He silently sipped the tea. "I wonder why."
They walked down the hallway and opened the door to find a guy dressed in white and Tanaka drinking tea in Japanese tea cups happily. The two people looked up when they heard the door open.
"Ah, Hello Earl Phantomhive." John stated standing up. "I am here to deliver a message from Queen Victoria. Her Majesty has requested that you work with her other helper, Sakura Satomi, on your next investigation about serial murders."
"Sakura Satomi?" Ciel wondered.
"A clothes company if I remember correctly." Sebastian said.
"Here is where they live. If you don't mind I told them you will arrive today." John said handing Ciel an address with directions.
Ciel glanced at the paper.
"All the information is with Sakura and they said you can bring your servants with you because you might be staying there for quite a while." John said bowing before leaving.
"Sebastian, pack some clothes up and tell Bard, Finny, and Maylene we are going to the other side of London." Ciel ordered. "We will leave the dog, Pluto, here to guard the house."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said bowing.
On the other side of London…
Snap! The gardener was making the tall trees that line up in front of the mansion look like roses. The gardener was like Finny with a short-sleeve shirt, gloves, a straw hat (that she wore), a long pants, and boots. The branch fell to the ground making dust fly everywhere.
"Thank you so much for the information." A pink hair girl with pink eyes as tall as Ciel told John.
"And Ciel is coming over with his servants today." John said.
"Thank you again." the pink girl said.
Crash! The biggest window on the second floor of the house that leads outside was broken and out came a gray dog. The dog came down on top of the butler behind the pink girl. Then the dog was about to leap on to John when the butler grabbed on to the dog's collar.
The pink girl turned to her butler, "Are you okay Yuki?"
"I'm fine." a deep voice, contrary to his long, black hair in a ponytail that rested on his chest, said. He was like Sebastian, all dressed in black but with purple eyes.
"I'm so sorry." the girl told John.
"And why is that my lady?" John said.
"Our dog has taken a liking of you." the girl said.
"It is such a handsome dog." John said petting the dog. "Now I have something else to look forward to besides your beautiful face Sakura."
Sakura blushed.
"Do you need help cleaning up?" John asked.
"No," Sakura said looking at Yuki, "I don't think so."
"Remember," John said, "Ciel is coming over today." With that John walked back to his carriage.
Sakura sighed, "Finally, he's gone."
Sakura turned to the gardener who moved on to the next tree and was cutting, "Shana, can you watch were you are throwing down the loose branches, thanks."
Ciel's group…
"Isn't that John?" Ciel asked.
"Young master, can you tell me again why we are spying on the Satomi family?" Sebastian asked.
"You should know better than anyone." Ciel stated.
"Are you that worried over a dream?" Sebastian laughed.
"Shut up." Ciel said. Sebastian smirked.
Yuki tossed the dog through the broken window and the maid that was there caught the dog from going out again. Then Yuki started picking up all the broken glass shards and throwing them toward the hole in the house. The glasses started blending together and attaching to the rest of the house until it seemed like there was never an accident in the first place.
Ciel turned to Sebastian, "Can you do that?"
"No." Sebastian answered.
"Then I suppose he is another one of your creatures." Ciel said. Sebastian slightly smiled. "Let's go back to the servants and greet them properly."
Sakura's group…
"I don't want to meet him yet." Sakura told Yuki.
"But that is going to put a bad reputation for the Satomi's family." Yuki stated back to his master.
"Not now." Sakura said sternly. "Tell them I'm busy or something."
Yuki sighed and walked out the door silently closing the door behind her.
Ciel's group…
Sebastian opened the carriage door when the Phantomhive household reached their destination, Satomi's house. The moment he was safely on the ground seven children runs up to him.
"Are you the guests that are coming over?"
"You are the same age as Sakura."
"What's your name?"
"Will you play with us?"
Just when Ciel was about to shout something at the children for bugging him when a teenage maid come running up.
"I'm so sorry." the maid apologized.
"Look how cute they are." Finny said coming up.
"Yeah." Maylene and Bard agreed.
"Will you play with us?" the children asked.
The three servants looked at Ciel. Ciel nodded. Better get rid of the idiots when you have the chance. The maid led the group of children and servants to the back yard. The front door opened and Yuki stepped outside.
"Hello Ciel Phantomhive." Yuki said. "Welcome to the Satomi's house. Unfortunately Sakura is currently busy so I will show you your rooms and I'll call you when Sakura is available to discuss Her Majesty assignment."
After a quiet walk down a hallway they are lead to 3 rooms. Two for the servants, one for the butler, and one for the master.
"Oh and Sebastian," Yuki said, "You can use the kitchen whenever you want because master said Ciel likes sweet. I hope you enjoy your stay." Yuki smiled and walked away closing the door behind him.
As soon as the door closed Ciel said angrily, "That was some kind of greeting." He turned to Sebastian, who was currently unpacking everyone's bag, "Sebastian, I want you to keep an eye on them."
Sebastian bowed to Ciel, "Yes, my lord."
After they finished unpacking and Sebastian went to the kitchen to get Ciel a snack, Yuki finally came back.
"Sakura is ready now so will you please follow me to the living room." Yuki said. The three people walked back down the hallway back to the living room.
On the couch sat Sakura with paper all over the table and next to it was a cart with refreshments. Sakura looked up and spotted Ciel.
"Hello, Ciel Phantomhive." Sakura said, getting up and curtsying.
"Hello to you, too, Sakura Satomi." Ciel said bowing his head.
"You can call me Sakura." Sakura said smiling. "Can I call you Ciel?"
"Of course." Ciel said agreeing. Although in the back of his head he was wondering what that was all about. Ciel and Sakura sat across from each other with Sebastian standing behind Ciel and Yuki went to prepare the tea.
"From the information we got, most of the murders are at night and they are dragged toward an ally. All the victims' blood seems to be sucked out of them and their skulls smashed. All the victims are innocent people that were wandering at night but no night police on patrol are died." Sakura informed drinking the tea Yuki place in front of them. Yuki goes up to Sebastian if he wanted some tea but he refused politely. Ciel slightly took in this information and looked at the images.
"It apparently looks like the victims made no moves of signs of struggling. I know an Undertaker that lives near you. You might know him. Do you mind if we go now?" Sakura asked.
"Sure." Ciel answered back.
They proceeded to the front door not before Yuki told a maid they were leaving and Sebastian went to inform the three Phantomhive household they were leaving. With Yuki driving the carriage, Sakura sitting across from Ciel, with Sebastian sitting next to him, was staring out the window. They went down a familiar road to Ciel and Ciel suddenly sat up and thought, the Undertaker she knows won't be that one would it. They stop in front of a familiar small store that had a sign that said "Undertaker". Ciel sweat dropped and Sebastian raised his eyebrow. Sakura lead them inside.
"Undertaker." Sakura said.
The guy at the counter with this weird looking hat with gray clothes on turned to them.
"Undertaker?" Ciel said in surprised.
"Sakura it seems like you brought guests." Undertaker said.
"You guys know each other?" Sakura said sitting down on one of the coffins and put a lollipop in her mouth.
"Yes, I asked him for help on the Jack Ripper case and other cases too." Ciel replied setting down on one of the coffins too and refused the weird drink Undertaker gave him.
"Anyways, Undertaker," Sakura addressed to Undertaker, "have you heard about the murders that have been going on these past few nights?"
"Of course," Undertaker replied, "It has made my shop very busy."
"Was there anything unusual about the bodies?" Sakura asked.
Undertaker chuckled. He walked up to Sakura and said, "If you look really closely you can see two punctual wounds right there." He used two of his fingers and touched the side of Sakura's neck.
Ciel shuddered but Sakura sparkled with interest.
"Does that mean vampires are real?" Sakura said with excitement.
Undertaker laughed.
"I mean it's happening at night, punctual wounds on the neck, and all the blood is gone from the body."Sakura said blushing with her sudden outburst. "The only thing that doesn't fit is the smashed skulls."
Undertaker ruffled Sakura's hair, "He, he, he. Let your imagination wander."
"Anyway, thanks for the information Undertaker." Ciel interrupted. He didn't like it when the conversation was going into the subject of mythical creatures because he had one right behind him. They thanked the Undertaker and went out the store with the door shutting close behind them.
"What did you think about the new information?" Sakura asked Ciel. They were in the carriage and everyone sat where they sat on the way here.
"There is no such thing as vampires." Ciel said. Sebastian smirked. "It's probably a blood obsessed doctor." Like why Madam Red killed people.
"We'll talk with Scotland Yard. I'm sure they have access to most places tomorrow." Sakura suggested.
"Sure." Ciel agreed. The rest of the trip lasted in silent. When they came to a stop in front of the mansion Sakura turned to Ciel, "I have things I need to finish. Feel free to look around." Ciel nodded.
Sakura went upstairs to her study room and Ciel stayed downstairs to look around with Sebastian. There wasn't much. There were the three guest rooms, a living room, a dining room, a ballroom, a library with tons of books…at least things weren't as crazy as the Phan- Boom! Black smokes were coning at of the kitchen. Out came a girl and Bard coughing.
"What was that for, Bard." The girl, had cook's clothes on but had brown hair, said between coughs. "Are you that mad I beat you in the cooking contest?"
"Humph." Bard said lighting a cigarette. Then, Yuki came in wondering what all the noise was.
"A cooking contest?" Yuki said raising an eyebrow. "Explain please, Ella."
"Well I told Bard I can produce better edible food then Bard. I told him he can watch me cook but Bard said he was better than me. That was how the cooking contest started." Ella said.
"It sounds like your telling a story…again." Yuki said. "Well, how come there was an explosion?"
"Because of this." Ella said pulling out a firearm behind Bard's back.
Yuki laughed, "If you help Ella clean up then I won't mind but down disturb the young master-s." with that Yuki left. Ciel and Sebastian walked pass the partly destroyed kitchen and went up the stairs. A maid was working on shining the rails. She had the exact appearance as Maylene except the hair is blond and she has no glasses. Unlike Maylene she used the correct polish making everything seem shiny…a bit too shiny. Ciel was just reached the second floor when Yuki came to talk to the maid.
"Bell, you're making things too shiny…again." Yuki said. "Can you dim down on the polish thing? Thanks." Yuki continued walking up the stairs passing Ciel and Sebastian.
On the second floor there was Sakura's room and study room, seven connected rooms (possibly for the children's), and the pet room. Ciel went into the pet room and looked around. There was two dogs, two cats, two hamsters, a bird, three fishes, a tiger, a leopard, a lion, a snake, and if you look really closely in the dark ceiling corner there are two bats. Sebastian had the sudden urge to play with the cats. You could clearly see it on his face. Amazingly, the animals aren't chasing each other or eating each other. Ciel left the room, when they heard Sakura and Yuki coming. Suddenly Sebastian grabbed Ciel and went into a wardrobe next to the door and closing the door. Ciel pushed Sebastian away, "What wa-?" Ciel barely finished his sentence when Sebastian held up a finger to his lips quieting him. They heard the door open beside them.
"Hey guys." A voice said behind the wall. Ciel automatically turned his head toward the wall.
