A/N~ Hey everyone. So, yep! The fans going to the world of black butler are fun to read, but I wanted to give my own take of what would happen. And JSYK- Writing this first chapter I kept thinking of the Wizard of Oz... -_- Anyways~ I hope you like it!
I do not own Lacrimosa by Kalafina
I do not own Kuroshitsuji
Constructive Criticism please?
Chapter 1: Pocky, Karaoke, and a Strange Wind
Irene's POV
"Yummm!" I nommed on strawberry pocky in the middle of a local con. (A/N- I looked up a ton of cons and couldn't pick one... But then I freaked out when I noticed there was going to be a con in one of my favorite vacation spots... and need I say more?)
"Irene! Careful! You don't wanna ruin your Ciel Phantomhive cosplay! After the months of putting it together," my best friend, Robin, squealed.
"I know, I know," I pouted, "Just one more piece?"
"No."
"But why?" I whined. Yes, I promise I am the mature one.
"'Cause, I said to put it up before you-" Robin stopped talking due to the strawberry icing being rubbed all over her face by none other than me.
"Woopsie~! Made a mess," I giggled. Not only were we at a convention, but it was also late summer, which caused the pocky to melt. "You said you didn't want it to get on my cosplay, and I didn't have a napkin. So, I hope you don't mind me using your face~!"
"Why you!" She started chasing me. We ran up the stairs and into the girls' bathroom.
"Maybe we should clean up?" I laughed.
"Ya think?" Robin laughed with me. She was dressed as Mei-Rin because she cannot stand crossplaying.
"Hey, Karaoke starts in 30 minutes," I smiled.
"Ichio(Let's go)~!" We skipped down the hallways, humming the song 'Triple Baka'.
Passing by many cosplayers, some of which being Kuroshitsuji cosplayers, we arrived at the karaoke door.
"Who's next?" the host asked, "How about you two?" He pointed to me.
"Us?" we asked in unison.
"No, Casper and his friend. Of course you!" He smiled at us laughing with the crowds. We jumped up to the stage. "What song do you wish to sing?"
"Umm.. How about Lacrimosa by Kalafina?"
"Alright," he smiled handing us the microphones.
The music began to play after a moment or two of waiting. The crowd became silent. They had been listening to the upbeat Vocaloid songs, until we came. We picked a sad, lullaby of darkness.
"kurayami no naka de mutsumi au
zetsubou to mirai wo
kanashimi wo abaku tsuki akari
tsumetaku terashiteta
Kimi no kureta himitsu wo shirube ni
aoi yoru no shizukesa wo yuku
Lacrimosa
Tooku ni kudakete kieta
mabushii sekai wo mou ichido aishitai
hitomi no naka ni yume wo kakushite
yogoreta kokoro ni
namida ga ochite kuru made"
After we finished the first run-through of the chorus, the power went out, causing everyone to scream. "Robin?!" I yelled, being dragged away by some force. It felt like I was being attacked by the scared audience, but then again, it felt like wind.
"Irene?!" She yelled back. We clasped each others hands in hopes of stopping the fear. We have been best friends since grade school, and we would always get through the good times and the bad times. Though, this has never happened before, and we were both scared out of our wits.
The wind-like force grew stronger and stronger, as if it were trying to reach a climax. Screaming and crying we were afraid of what was happening.
We both fell, hitting our heads on a hard marble floor. Wait? The karaoke room had carpet.
I sat up, helping Robin up. She started coughing up blood as I held my head tightly. "Robin, you ok?"
I asked in a jumpy voice, still crying.
"What was that?" she cried.
"I don't know. All I know, is that we were singing and the power went out. Oh, and that marble floors hurt," I pouted.
"Who are you two?! And why are you dressed like me? Mei-Rin? Why are you in here?" a young, navy haired boy demanded as he covered his right eye, reaching for an eyepatch.
Robin and I looked at each other, conversing between our minds.
Hey, is that really Ciel Phantomhive?
I dunno, maybe. But if he is, that means not only are we in black butler, but...
That demon is here too!
Maybe we should make sure. I think we just have a concussion or something.
Some sort of brain damage probably.
"Excuse me, sir. What is your name?" I looked up at him.
"Ciel Phantomhive, son of the Late Vincent Phantomhive. Now, answer my questions! Who are you? Why do you look like me? Where are you from? And why aren't you working, Mei-Rin?"
"First of all, I'm not Mei-Rin, but because THE Ciel Phantomhive thought I was, my cosplay must be really good!" She giggled happily.
"I'm Irene, and this is Robin. We are from 21st century, America. Where we come from you and your..." I paused looking around the room, "...demon butler, are the main characters of a books series and a TV show. And at times, people dress up like their favorite characters and wear the costumes to conventions to take pictures with others, shop, and hang out."
"Sebastian! Come here this instant," the boy ordered.
"Yes, My Lord?" he stated. Then he took a look at us.
"These two girls know what you are, and claim they are from 21st century, America," he stated.
"Shall I dispose of them?" Sebastian asked.
"No! Wait! Please, we can prove it," I begged.
"Well then, please do so."
I reached for my bag and began walking to his desk. I pulled out book 1 of the manga and season one of the anime. Then I grabbed my ipod touch to show him pictures and videos of the convention we were just at.
"If you want to look through those more, just move your finger across the screen," I said, sitting back down on the floor, examining Robin's head, "Oi, Robin, We shouldn't go to sleep tonight. We probably have a concussion."
"Grr... but me is tired!" Robin arm flailed.
"What is this thing? A camera of your time?" The butler asked looking at it.
"Nope~. Not really. It plays music, records video, picture, and audio. You can play games or watch tv. It serves as an alarm clock and it keeps reminders and your schedule, so you can only be late if you choose to be," I laughed.
"Alarm clock?" the boy asked, clearly interested in the device.
"A clock that you can set an alarm to wake you up in the mornings," Robin smiled.
"Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!"
"Doctor!"
"YOU LIE!YOU DESTROYED US?...Then what of the time lords?"
The young Earl sitting in front of us, was freaking out after he accidentally tapped the screen. "Wha-What did I do?"
"Hahahahaha! Nothing, you just played a part of an episode in the Doctor Who series," Robin and I laughed.
"WE ARE NOT THE SAME!"
"Turn it off! Please!" the boy begged. Sebastian walked over to the boy taking away the device and tossing it to us.
"Turn it off," he stated.
"It is. I just did," I smiled.
"Well, dang! If he is afraid of Doctor Who, remind me to keep him away from my horror movie collection," Robin laughed. I facepalmed, Really? Really. This trip should be interesting, though we need a place to stay.
"Thank you," Ciel stated, "I will permit your stay, though you MUST get into different clothing. We can't have two idiots running around London dressed as my maid and I."
"Of course!"
"Sebastian show them to their rooms and carry their luggage."
"Yes, sir."
"You two, Come back once you are changed."
"kk~" Robin smiled walking out the door with Sebastian and I.
"Kk?" Sebastian asked.
"Yep! It basically means 'okay'." Robin informed.
"I suppose we should train you into being 'Proper' for this time period's London," Sebastian said as he opened the door to Robin's new room.
"Thank you, Sebastian. This will do quite well," she stated trying to prove that she can be somewhat proper if she wanted to be.
"You know, I was expecting you to run around the room screaming 'Oh My Bunnycake! This Room Is So Large!' like you normally would, Miss I-Will-Eat-Cake-For-Breakfast-One-Day," I said with a plain expression.
"Yeah, so? I can do that in the morning. Oh, and just so ya know, I WILL eat cake for breakfast, Miss I-Rub-Pocky-Icing-In-My-Best-Bud's-Face."
"Pocky?" Sebastian asked.
"A candy imported from Japan," I answered, "Oh, Robin, Do not dress in cosplay. Dress in normal clothes."
"Kk"
"Can you show me to my room?" I asked.
"Of course."
We made it to my room, and he excused himself so I can get changed. I took off my wig, and eye patch, along with my coloured eye contacts, revealing my dark brown(near black) irises and a similar shade of deep brown hair.
I changed into my 'YOLO' pajama shirt and pants. It was evening when we arrived, so it shouldn't be to big of an issue to go around in Pjs."
Walking out of my large room to go to the Earl's office once again, I began to sing the Ievan Polka. I met Robin half way wearing her High School football pajamas and joining in on the song.
We skipped and made it to the Earl's door about 30 minutes of wandering around lost.
"What are you two wearing? Wait... Who is who?" he asked staring at me and the dirty blonde girl.
"I'm Irene, and this is Robin," I laughed.
"But you had blue eyes a minute ago, and she had purple. How?"
"Young Master. Let's not forget they are from the future."
"Yep! We have something called contacts. Some are used to help people see clearly, and some are used to temporarily change your eye color," I informed the young boy.
"What does YOLO mean?" the butler asked.
"You Only Live Once."
"Yours?" he asked again pointing to Robin.
"Oh, it is just our school colors. It's football season. Oh and before you ask, football is an athletic game. K?" Robin answered annoyed by their lack of knowledge, "Anyways, it's rare we go out in these clothes. Unless we are running to a local grocery shop, where no one cares. Normally, these are just to sleep in."
"I see."
"Young Master, it is time you retire."
"Of course, Goodnight. I hope to see you in the morning." He walked out followed by the butler.
"Let's have Sebastian check our heads."
"Deal."
~~Later~~
Sebastian walked in once again, "I hoped you two were still here."
"We hate to ask, but we need a favor done, and we'd rather not go ask Mei-Rin, Bard, Finny, or Tanaka."
"Would you check our heads for brain damage?" We stared at him wide eyed, as if we were saying 'Check our heads or we give Bard dynomite.'
"Of course," he walked over, examining both of us, "You both are fine other than the fevers you each have. Please go rest."
We agreed, walked to our rooms, and plopped on our beds- Not coming out for the rest of the night.
