Chapter one
It was ten o'clock at night, on a chilly autumn day. In a room by herself, miss Minoru Hibiki was sobbing at the death of her favorite booty shorts wearing blondie.
"Why…" she lamented, stuttering on her own tears, "Why did it have to be Alois? Why couldn't it of been Ciel…" Blowing her nose, she remembered the good times. After about fifteen minutes of straight and utter grief, Hibiki decided to call her best friend, Mai, who she had recommended the series to a few weeks earlier. Clearing her congested nostrils and drinking a glass of water, she attempted to get her tone back to a more natural sounding atmosphere.
"Yo, wassup breadslice?" Mai greeted her in an extremely informal fashion, not even aware about her friend's previous… session.
"Can you not? I'm going through an emotional crisis, miss-I'm-not-past-season-one!" Mai could be heard groaning audibly through the other end. This put a tiny smile on Hibiki's face. Mai's antics were bothersome at times, but they made Hibiki smile again at least.
"I've got a frickton of studying to do, Hibbs. Can you call tomorrow, when you're not mourning over a fictional character? Thanks." With that, Mai hung up.
'Did she really just hang up on me…?" Hibiki internally screeched to herself, before noticing a peculiar insect on her window. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a spider. 'Ah, Alois…" she thought as she put on her glasses. She opened the window so that it could get out, when suddenly, the spider jumped on her hoodie and began biting at her arm.
"The hell is wrong with you?! I opened the window instead of killing you, get the heck ou-" she was cut off by a cracking sound. Whoops. She killed the spider. She looked at her sleeve, and carefully rolled it up to reveal something terrifying on her arm. She screamed, and everything went black.

"What the bloody hell? Sebastian, why is there a girl in my garden?!" exclaimed the voice of an angry young boy.
"I found her while trimming the shrubs! She was laying on my petunias…" the familiar voice of a whining servant greeted Hibiki's ears.
"Now, now master please keep it down, as she is beginning to wake up." Sebastian said with disgust, looking down at the girl on the ground up and down, especially noting her tight-fit leggings and jean shorts. (Females wearing tight-fit clothing/pants in the 1800s? Scandalous!)
"Gog...dat spider wash…" slurred the strange girl. She began to sober up and regain consciousness of her surroundings, but the closed her eyes again and muttered something again: "I'm so sad about Alois that I'm hallucinating about the bastard that killed 'im...", she trailed off, hiccuping slightly. Ciel seemed to jump at what sounded like the name of Alois.
"Sebastian, did she just mention Alois?! Take her into the mansion immediately!" Ciel commanded Sebastian with a glare.
"Yes, my lord," Sebastian said while bowing. Halfway through the bow though, Hibiki jumped up at this and started running towards the door.
"Heck no! I'm not getting captured by a bratty twelve year old's demon butler!" She sprinted around poorly cut shrubs which Finny most likely cut, and found her way into another patch of flowers which she might have accidentally trampled. She quickly found her way out of the garden by exiting through the gates that Finny had left unlocked. Glancing behind her, Hibiki gulped seeing Sebastian was right on her heels. Literally. "Shoot!" Hibiki tumbled onto the road and coincidentally, at the worst moment ever, a carriage came rolling through on the Phantomhive manor's property, and collided with Hibiki.
"Oh my!" exclaimed the squeaky voice of no other than Elizabeth. Sebastian stopped dead in his tracks, not wanting to fiddle with Ciel's relationships. "I-I ran someone over!" Elizabeth cried out. Her eyes began to water as Sebastian attempted to console her.
"There, there lady Elizabeth. You actually had done us a favor, you see this lady is a thief and we were trying to catch her. Thank you for slowing her down." Sebastian said, not further elaborating.
"Oh…" trailed off Elizabeth, looking at the squashed human. Ciel came running towards the scene.
"Sebastian! Gather her up, and if any of her limbs that became detached, gather that up aswell. Bring her into the mansion! I've got some interrogating to do…" Stated Ciel, a menacing smirk playing on his lips, basically crashing down the effort Sebastian made to console the blonde haired girl, while our main protagonist, Hibiki lay unconscious.

Hibiki faintly remembered a dream where she had woken up in Ciel's garden and was chased by Sebastian. Rolling over, she chuckled bitterly about the event, dismissing it all as just a silly, peculiar dream which was caused by the stress of losing a loved one, aka Alois. Suddenly, a sharp voice pierced the silence and caused the black haired girl to snap back to reality.
"Lady, what do you know about Alois Trancy?!" demanded Ciel impatiently. From the pissed of air around him, Hibiki could tell that she had been out for an extremely long time. But wait- this was real?!
'The hell?! No way, this can't be real! Maybe this is a dream continuation- are those even possible? Ciel is a fictional character! And so is Alois as much as I hate to admit it! I want my brain to stoooooop!" thought Hibiki, barely processing the situation at hand. How could this truly be happening? 'I bet I'm hooked to some machine in reality, and I'm in a coma and, and I'm under some drugs right now! Heh,' thought Hibiki to herself, laughing out loud at how stupid she was for possibly considering the fact that this could be real, when obviously, it's not. Hibiki sat up and noticed the bandages on her arm.
"Sebastian could add more scars to that if you don't start answering my questions." Ciel expressed cooly. He motioned with the hand that wasn't preoccupied with a cup of tea for Sebastian to come over.
"Heeeey Ciel…" Hibiki vocalized awkwardly. "What's the point of all this anyway? I mean, you're all just a part of my subconscious realm up in here, right?" Hibiki half asked/stated, pointing to her head.
"What are you even talking about? I asked you about Alois, not about your-" Ciel cut himself off immediately. How did this person know his name? None of the servants addressed him directly with his name, so this stranger having knowledge of his personal information was peculiar. "What do you know about Alois Trancy?" He asked again curtly.
"Geez, Ciel. Drink your 'apple juice' and calm the hell down." Replied Hibiki informally, emphasizing each word as if Ciel was a foreigner, which was ironic because Hibiki was the odd one out.
"Enough!" exclaimed Ciel, and threw the teacup at the black-haired girl, which hit her right on the chin.
"Owies, that hurt!" pouted Hibiki, but she then realized that if she was able to feel pain, then would this still count as a dream? If not, then should she actually start answering Ciel's questions? "Alright, alright. Uh, okay then. I know Alois, and I know… Everyone. I know everyone. Yes. By the way, Ciel, is Alois uhm, still alive by any chance?" Hibiki said awkwardly from start to finish. Ciel suspiciously took in her words, but looked a bit enlightened by the way he seemed to relax his posture.
"...Yes, Alois, that bastard is still breathing." expressed Ciel bitterly.
"Hey, don't call Alois a bastard! At least he doesn't sit around all day drinking Earl Grey Tea." At this, Ciel's eyes widened; how did this person know the exact brand of tea that he favoured so much?
"...How do you know all this?" Ciel finally responded, glancing over to Sebastian a couple feet away who was also analyzing the mysterious female.
"Because…" Hibiki trailed off, getting off the bed slightly wincing at her injury, and sat face to face with the young aristocratic male. Suddenly making a serious face, she said: "Because I am above you, and always one step ahead of you. I know precisely what you will do and how you will do it, because I have already seen this. You, Sebastian, Mey-Rin, Finny, Baldroy, Alois, Luka, Claude- It's all played out before me already, and I've thought about it for awhile… The most clear thing I can conclude from me here in this room with a sprained arm is that you're the here bastard, Ciel."
Sebastian, who was a couple meters away, made eye contact with Ciel, then walked up to Hibiki, eyes glowing a fluorescent shade of magenta, looked her dead in the eyes, and articulated in a slow voice: "The definition of 'bastard' is not one that you should describe the young lord; however, we may be able to overlook this slip-up of yours if you became a servant here at the Phantomhive manor. Your knowledge could perhaps prove useful."
End of chapter one! Hello there everyone, I'm inverteD communicatioN, or Deno for short, and I'm pretty happy to finish the first chapter with 1,500 words! Just the minimum, I'll try to aim 1000~2000 words a chapter so that you won't get bored reading my rubbish ;-;, and I also tend to take awhile to write, so about 1~2 chapters a week. I tend to try and leave off of cliffhangers on purpose, so sorry about that! It's just what motivates me to write the next chapter faster. I feel like my character wasn't introduced properly, and you readers were just plunged into someone sobbing over an anime from about 6 years ago, haha. Here's a character introduction below!
Minoru Hibiki is a sixteen year old girl with short charcoal black hair, brown eyes, and is fully Japanese. Her mom died for Hibiki's childbirth, and so she lives with her dad as an only child. As for her mom, she's a very important role in this story, but I can't tell you guys yet~~ She may be dead, but her "soul still lives on"... Hibiki, despite being Japanese and living in the U.S., she can only speak English and broken Japanese due to her dad having night shifts, and Hibiki having morning classes to the afternoon. She only sees him in the morning, and it's kinda awkward? They don't talk much other than a "good morning", or a "have a nice day", and "love you, bye". Hibiki is a pretty mannered person in general, but once she's plunged into Kuroshitsuji, her bluntness and rude remarks come out because she's salty towards Ciel. Throughout the series she still denies that this is reality, but goes along with it anyway, causing her to be more relaxed and informal towards the course of things. That's all I can tell you all without spoiling everything I planned out!
