With a Certain Black Butler

by Dark's Wings

An anchient demon as powerful as Sebastian. Her current master has given her the name Chi Long. Her wish and Ciel's are the same. Chi and Sebastian have a choice. They can work together, or fight. And they still have the deaded angels to deal with.

Yu's eyes grew large as she stared around at the hotel room I had found for us during our stay in London. I looked around critically. It was a decent size, small compared to the luxurious rooms I usually stayed at, but at least it was clean, and the small bath and dressing rooms were serviceable, if not spectacular. The view was alright, nothing great. Overall, it would do.

To Yu Ming though, the room was as big as a palace. You could see the wonder in her eyes. My young mistress, so easy to read. I bowed to her, my hand going across my chest in a traditional servant's bow to their master. "Is everything satisfactory, My Lady?"

"Oh," Yu breathed, finally able to find her voice. "You mean we get to stay here, all by ourselves?"

"Hardly." I said, shaking my head at the very thought. "These are to be your rooms, my lady, I will stay in an adjoining room so that you may call me at any time."

"You mean these are all mine?"

"Yes, Mistress."

"All mine? All my own?"

"Yes Mistress." I said, barely able to suppress a small smile at my mistress's wonderment. "All yours. For as long as you'd like them, unless of course, you'd prefer different accommodations...?"

"No, no, no! I'll stay here, this is wonderful!" She turned to me, a smile lighting up her face.

But the smile was gone as soon as it had come. "Poppies." she whispered, her gaze falling on a vase tucked into a corner of the room, overflowing with the vile flowers. "Mother loved poppies."

I scowled at the offending vase. Moving so fast I was almost a blur, I plucked the flowers from the vase and tossed them out the window, allowing them to fall the five stories back to earth. In a flash I was back, the vase now filled with a bouquet of bright blue roses.

I bowed deeply to my mistress. "I am deeply sorry, my lady. That was inexcusable. It will not happen again."

Yu nodded, turning sadly away from the vase. "I would like dinner." she said, her voice quiet. "And then I'll go to bed, I think." Her eyes were wide with the sheer wonder of saying those words. To be able to have food whenever she wanted, and to be able to sleep, at any time, it was still very overwhelming for my young mistress.

"Yes, My Lady." I replied, turning away to go about my tasks. I had a great deal still to do to prepare for the morrow.
