(A/N: This actually started off as a kind of…epilogue to WoL but..I notice that I'm kind of horrible at epilogues so I've turned it into a sequel to Wonders of London that will have a few chapters to it and a whole new storyline :D but for the most part you don't really have to read the first part to understand what's going on..Enjoy )

Chap 1

Ciel Phantomhive never really thought of himself as a very angry person.
Regardless, any living being in their right mind would feel a bit… bitter after witnessing their demon butler frolic about, in a foreign country, chasing after a kitten of all things.
Ciel released a deep sigh while massaging his temples. They were sent all the way to Japan to catch this idiot of an art thief who was, currently waiting in the carriage while Ciel thrived to fetch his, so called, demon.
"Sebastian…" Ciel warned in a low, menacing voice. The butler did not waver. He simply continued in his temporary bliss until the feline turned a corner into a slim alleyway. The raven haired man didn't hesitate to glance into the base of the small opening but mentally froze when he saw a familiar pair of worn black shoes. He followed up the leg and continued up until he met with mystifying cerulean orbs hidden under the shadow of the, instantly recognizable, tan cap that now, was a new bed for the unbelievably cute kitten he was previously following. On the other side of the teen was a smaller one peeking over the shoulder with what little room there was.
"Sebastian!" Ciel yelled louder while walking toward his butler in an annoyed rage. Ciel had wondered why the raven had stopped so suddenly while chasing his new friend but before long, his question was answered.
For the slightest of moments, Ciel was completely lost, but, despite the fact, he put on a straight face and asked calmly, "Miharu…Yoite…" he stepped in front of Sebastian to get a better look at the pair. He rested one of his hands on the corner of one of the buildings as if to check that he wasn't in a dream, or in this case, a very surprising nightmare. Ciel took a short pause to figure out his words, "Why are you in the small space between these two buildings?" He gestured his free hand between the 'space' (that was only about two inches away from being as wide as his face) to indicate the buildings he was referring to.
Miharu was the first to answer, in his regular monotone voice.
"We were hiding…..but we got stuck"
Yoite was next to further explain their predicament in a low mutter.
"We've been here for about twenty minutes"
Ciel could practically feel the raven haired butler smiling and holding back his laughter behind him. Ciel didn't have to ask what they were hiding from because, knowing them, they were probably only hiding because of the simple fact that they're ninjas.
I...I won't even question it. Ciel thought quietly.
Sebastian pulled the two out with ease.
After a short recovery, Miharu and Yoite suggested going to a café that had recently opened up. Ciel ordered Sebastian to handcuff the fugitive and they were on their way.
One carriage ride later…
They all made their way out of the carriage and the driver gave a soft smile and a small wave. All of Ciel's servants were able to defend themselves and him at any given moment and his driver was no exception..
After a short walk, the group found themselves in front of a building. Ciel looked up at the bright cursive that stood before him on a short building made of stone. It read: "Siblings". A bit under the name there was in smaller lettering: "Where bonds are made"
What an odd name for a café… Ciel mused quietly. They continued as Sebastian opened the front door, which, Ciel had noticed, written on the dark wood was what seemed like names being listed in white.
"Bleu….Jack…. Isabelle….William….Noah…. Olivia…. Natalie…. Addison...Hunter….Grace….Levy"
They all walked in with Yoite leading. Once Ciel passed the heavy, wooden doors, his senses where caressed by delectable hints of coffee and sugar he could almost taste. The walls where painted a golden moon color with rich brown and warm red accenting the boarders and windows. And finally, coming from the unseen speakers was the smooth notes of one of the instrumentals Madam Red had always loved: Ikareta Kairaku no Tame Ni.
Someone had waved at them from the back wall. It was Yukimi, Tobari and Kazuho. They were all sitting at a booth in the shape of a half circle in front of an elegant main window that lit up most of the restaurant.
Yoite followed suit with everyone else right behind him as they approached.
They all slipped into the seating arrangement. Ciel and Sebastian getting surprised looks in the process.
"Hey! It's short stuff and his butler!" Yukimi announced as they took their seats.
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you again as well" Ciel figured that Yukimi was much too excited to notice how annoyed he was at the term 'short stuff' so he decided not to comment on the matter.
Yukimi opened his mouth as if to say something but was interrupted by a gruff voice.
"Cousin~!" Ciel tensed. A familiar tan body stood by their table in a white suit. Ciel was confused and angered at the same time…Ciel was halfway out of his seat when he saw Yukimi and Kazuho suddenly get up and basically flung their bodies at the man.
"Charlie!" it was now, that Ciel noticed that they were both hugging the man affectionately with happy smiles and…GIGGLES!?
"….What." it came out more like a statement than a question. "Isn't he the enemy?!" Ciel whipped his head toward Yoite, "didn't YOU kill him!?"
Yoite was in the middle of sipping his cider but decided that it was more important to tell Ciel what's been going on. "Killing him was not part of the mission." He said it as if the statement itself explained everything.
Yukimi and Kazuho finally got off their cousin and began quiet small talk.
Tobari took over: "Ciel, you must be confused as to our predicament" he started. "It turns out that the only reason Charlie was in the kairoshuu was so that he could re-open a place from his childhood" Tobari gestured around the eatery. "After he opened up the café, he left the Kairoshuu and came to us…. He apologized and explained the predicament. There hasn't been a problem since."
Ciel calmed down slightly, as long as that suspicious character knew its place, there shouldn't be a problem.
Charlie left to greet some of the other guests, but not before giving a small smile to Ciel and Sebastian.
They all continued to talk for a while before Sebastian reminded his young master of the art thief in the carriage.
"I'm sure the driver is tired young master." He whispered smoothly into Ciel's ear.
The young Phantomhive quietly agreed and began to say goodbye to the others around the table.
"We should be on our way, we came here for a mission" he announced.
"We may as well see you off while we're all here~!" Yukimi cheered and started toward the front doors.
They left the building and strolled casually to the carriage doors.
Ciel momentarily froze. The driver was bloody and nearly passed out in the carriage! The boy and his butler dashed to the wounded man.
"What happened?!" the blunette inquired.
The driver in question had gashes at his sides and back and was obviously extremely hurt, but he tried his best to answer despite the pain.
"The Thief...huff... He hid a knife...got away…he said something about…the shrine of Kagoshima..."
Sebastian was tending to the man's wounds with the emergency kit when he finally went out cold.
Kazuho spoke up while the other's stood in mild shock
"I used to live in that city..I know the way around it as if it were the back of my hand…Please let me help you if I can..." she finished quietly.
"Us too." Miharu stated.
Ciel turned to face the others "Very well".
