My sis and I couldn't find any DGMxKuroshitsuji crossovers as in real ones, so we (me) decided to give it a shot. First Kuroshitsuji fic, so check it out~
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, Ciel and Sebastian (along with other characters of Kuroshitsuji) do not belong to me.

There was no sound save for the rustling of papers, for the occasional scratch of a pen and, if one listened well enough, the 'humph' of Ciel Phantomhive as he came across something interesting. And Sebastian Michaelis was listening well enough. His arched his eyebrow, the corners of his mouth twisting into a deadly smirk as he leaned forward, his eyes glancing at the paper that sat in front of his master.
"We're taking a trip." Ciel stated simply, handing the paper for his butler to see. "On Her Majesty's orders." He added, shifting through other papers which now seemed less important.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed respectfully before leaving the room, only to run into Prince Soma with Agni not far in tow. A long sigh parted from the Black Butler and he held his gloved fingers to his head. "I suppose you two will want to come as well?" He guessed. No sooner had the words left him had the two run off, presumably to pack.
Yet another sigh left Sebastian as he walked off both to prepare for the coming trip and to fetch his young master's lunch.
Speaking of the young master…the Earl was still in his study, all work forgotten as he faced the large window overlooking the property. His deep cerulean eye fixated on a spot in the garden, not far from where Finnian was attempting to weed out a small patch of flowers. Ciel felt his lips curl down into a frown, something he had been doing more often in recent days. The letter of order coming from Her Majesty seemed to be odd, not that it was the first time. He was used to the little 'errands', as Sebastian had dubbed them a while ago that he was sent on. It was to be expected having become the Queen's Dog. It was just….something about this particular errand made him nervous.
"No." Ciel said aloud, mentally reprimanding himself. He was Ciel Phantomive. This was nothing and there was no need to become nervous over it.
"Am I to assume that the 'no' is directed to lunch?" Sebastian asked, his voice sounding like a whisper as Ciel swiveled in his chair. The Demon was carrying a silver platter, blood-red eyes in question as to what his young master was really talking about.
Ciel ignored the question, folding his fingers together and propped his elbows on the desk as Sebastian served him lunch. He didn't pay attention to what the butler was saying about his meal, but merely calculated a list in his head. This 'errand' would call more help then he would like or would ever admit. Sensing the blood-red eyes on him, Ciel glanced up.
"We leave tomorrow." Was all he said.
Sebastian's answer was a small chuckle.

A vein throbbed in Ciel's right temple, despite the fact that Sebastian was serving them tea meant to soothe the drinker. He grabbed his cup with forced effort, glaring at the two other occupants in the room. "What are you doing here?" He asked, trying his best to keep his anger in check.
Across from him, seated in a plush armchair, Madame Red took a sip from her cup. "Why, I heard that my nephew was going to be in town so I thought 'why not'? You can't object to your Aunt wanting to watch over him, right?" She smiled, glancing at Sebastian through the rim of her large red hat. "Though I'm sure Sebastian is more than capable." She smiled.
The mentioned butler coughed awkwardly, smiling politely.
"And you?" Ciel asked, turning his attention to the Asian man sitting, or rather, lounging, in a long chair.
Lau cocked his head to the right, a fox-like smile plastered on his face. "Me? Well, it's to protect you!" He answered, his smile growing wider. "And my business has been taking a toll." He added, somewhat aloof.
Ciel suppressed the urge to yell at him, choosing to take a long drink from his cup to swallow the retort on his tongue. "I guess there's no helping it." He sighed, avoiding Sebastian's obvious smirk meant for him and him alone.
"So what is going on?" Madame Red asked, glancing from Ciel to Sebastian, setting her cup down. There was no butler with her, as Ciel and Sebastian noticed, though there was no doubt in the young Earl's mind that Grell was somewhere in the immediate area. For all it mattered, he didn't care as long as the Shinigami kept away from his Aunt.
"Along with the festival currently going on in town, there have been strange occurrences. Parts of the town are missing only to reappear again somewhere entirely different. At first it was small, thing like door, windows, petty things. As time progressed, it grew larger: parts of buildings, whole shops and people disappeared. Some people reappeared, others…didn't." Ciel explained, setting down his cup. "Her Majesty wants us to find and stop the source of the occurrences." He said, glancing at his 'help'.
Oh this was going to be a long 'errand'.
