Chapter 1: The New Phantom Thief In Town
It was a normal day at the Phantomhive Manor and everything was a rush-rush moving time. It was a big day for the grand opening of a new museum which is open in London. The earl was supposed to attend this grand opening tomorrow and stay there for two days to see how the museum is going. The earl was quite looking forward to coming and seeing the opening. He never knew a museum would open here and now as a demon, it excited him even more.
The earl was in his room, reading the newspaper that was sent today on papers. He in present day London wasn't known as an Earl any longer but rather a person of very high class. He wore now modern day clothes to blend in with society. His butler, Sebastian was the same now as well. Although, his butler still wore a tuxedo suit to represent that he was still a butler of the Phantomhive household estate.
He saw the newspaper that a new thief has arrived at London. From the huge headlines, it was known as the Phantom Thief. He stared blankly at he name as he tried to figure out who this big new Phantom Thief. He knew for sure that the thief was out to steal things from museum as said on the article. It also said that the thief is impossible to catch and will always show on camera. A rather illusive thief.
Ciel sighed as he looked at the article further. It also said that along with a thief, a new commander of the police also had arrived in town and the police commander was known as Satoshi Hiwatari. He stared at the name for a long time, burying the name into his memories so he would remember it. He never thought that such a young boy would be a commander of some sort of police. It would bring interest to Ciel's investigations for the Queen.
It was then that a knock of a door came. Ciel looked up from his newspaper with a bored expression on his face."Come in Sebastian." The door creaked open as the butler stepped inside and gave a butler-like bow to him.
"My lord, it appears the new Police Commander, Satoshi Hiwatari wishes to see you." The butler replied.
"Bring him to my office so we can chat privately." Ciel ordered. With another bow from his butler, he walked out, not bothering to close the door. Ciel sighed as he went on to look at his papers, deep in thought about the police commander. He really wished that he wouldn't have to meet the police commander so sudden. In fact, he would want to look more into him before he would meet him.
The knock on the door broke his thoughts. He looked up from the newspaper that he had burrowed into so much. In front of him was a boy with blue short hair with blue eyes, that wore glasses. He wore a school uniform that was a white shirt with a black tie and black pants to match. His hand held a black coat. A typical uniform for British schools nowadays. He stared at him blankly before he got up from his seat and spoke.
"You must be Satoshi Hiwatari." The earl spoke calmly and almost business-like.
"Yes. And you are?" The boy answered with a hit of curiosity on his face.
"Ciel Phantomhive. Pleasure to make your aquintance." Ciel nodded at him."Please, have a seat so we can talk." He made a gesture of hand to direct him to the two chairs with a table in between the two chairs. He went on and sat down on the chair. Satoshi had sat down across from him. There was a lingering silence that hung in the air for a moment before Satoshi spoke first.
"So, you heard of the new Phantom Thief in this town, correct?" The police commander began.
"Yes, I just read it on the papers. I'm assuming he is out to steal an artifact." Ciel answered a she folded his hands on his lap.
"Correct. However, he is not easy to catch. It would be impossible for you to deal with him alone." Satoshi cautioned him.
"What is there to worry, Commander? I have my butler to assist me." Ciel smiled rather proudly. He saw Satoshi looked at Sebastian who was standing behind him before looking back at him with a frown.
"I suppose." Satoshi said with a bit of uncertainly.
"You sound uncertain. Is it because the thief is not what we think the thief is?" Ciel guessed.
"How did you know?" Satoshi asked, his eyes narrowed.
"It say on the article of the newspaper here. The thief is never caught ever." Ciel explained.
"You sure look into the person you will see before you get them." Satoshi observed.
"You got that right. I'm very observant when trying to capture my victim." Ciel smirked slightly as he crossed his legs.
"Ah, but I rather not have him captured since he would like to be a complete show-off." Satoshi said rather defensively.
"Well, when is his next appearance? I would like to see him and see reason as to why he would steal in the first place." Ciel said with a smile.
"He would appear tomorrow night at the new museum." Satoshi replied.
"Very well. I'll see to him till then." Ciel said with a smile.
"Well, I shall see you then, Mister Ciel." Satoshi nodded before he got up from his seat and walked out of the room, with Sebastian following after him. Ciel smirked slightly as he was rather excited to see the new thief that came to London. This would be interesting indeed.
