"Milady, Madam Red has been murdered." I looked up from my play things, "Really?" I tilted my head, curiously eyeing the man in front of me. He nodded, "Yes." I yawned, standing up. "How tragic…" I mused, picking up the lonesome white, tattered, bunny that lied on the ground.
"Where is she sending me now, I wonder?" I asked the bunny. Its dark buttoned eye was placid, whilst his right eye was covered with black material, and its lips remained mute. "The will…states that you are to go to her nephew, the Earl, Ciel Phantomhive." Sighing, I looked down at the bunny, "Ciel, huh?"
My lips curved into a smirk, the bunny's thin lined smile opened to reveal sharp fangs as it giggled maniacally. "Shh…" I pressed a finger to its lips, "…quiet, pet." The fangs receded and the thin lined smile reappeared.
The man was shaking, his eyes wide with fear. "Are you hungry?" I asked softly. The man backed up, colliding with the wall. I smiled, walking closer to him, holding out my bunny. The man shook his head. I frowned, "I wasn't asking you." Before the man could scream, his blood splattered all across the floor.
"Now look what you've done, Usagi-san…you soiled my dress." I pouted. The small stuffed bunny frowned, looking down sorrowfully. I smiled, "It's alright…I just need to change into something more suitable for my new master!"
Usagi looked up, smiling his wicked smile that I adored. I giggled, happily, skipping towards my chest of drawers. "It really is a shame though…" I whispered. Usagi looked up. "Madam Red was so kind to me…" I sighed, opening the drawer. I pulled out an elegant azure dress.
"Still, red is such an ugly color…" Usagi's smile widened as he looked at the red splatters of blood that adorned the lower half of the dress I was currently wearing. "Blue is much more peaceful…much less painful, much more depressing, don't you think, Usagi-san?"
The bunny snickered, nodding feverishly. I stripped out of the blood stained gown and slipped into the azure one. Usagi zipped up the back and stared admiringly at me from the ground. "Does it suit me?" I asked he nodded this time he added a little hop to his step as he ran around me.
I smiled widely then turned my eyes to the dead body still lying on the floor, motionless. "You know, Usagi-san…before we leave you need to clean up your mess…" Usagi paused for a moment, staring placidly at the body.
I nodded, "Go on." Happily he obliged, leaping onto the corpse with glee. His fangs dug into the still warm flesh of the dead body. I walked over the frenzy of blood and flesh as it splattered carelessly across the room I had once called my own. I began to walk down the halls of what used to belong to the decease Madam Red.
"Make it quick, Usagi-san, for we have other things to do." The gnashing of his teeth echoed throughout the barren halls as he ate the flesh off the bone. In a matter of minutes, I was outside. The snow covered streets of England were quiet with lurking shadows all around.
Usagi hopped to my side, moments later. I looked down at him, "Have you been satisfied?" He nodded, feverishly, his teeth in that same wicked grin, yet now it was covered in fresh flesh and blood. I clapped my hands together.
A dark black carriage came forth from the shadows. There were two black stallions that pulled at the reins, huffing with excitement as they readied themselves for the journey ahead. Yet there was no master. No one sat upon the driver's seat, no one held the reins.
Magic, one might think. But here, there is no such thing. Here there be monsters. Here there be demons. Usagi opened the carriage door as I stepped into the cart. Black leather adorned the seats and silken curtains shaded the inside.
Usagi hopped in, beside me as the carriage lurched forward. Only the horses led the way. The darkness engulfed everything leaving the only light to be from the crescent moon up above. The carriage moved on until the early hours of dawn.
Just as the sun peaked from the horizon, the carriage came to a halt. The horses whinnied and prodded the ground. I turned to Usagi, who never took his buttoned eye off me. "You must play your role, well, Usagi-san. They cannot know what you are, understand?"
He nodded vigorously, then froze and collapsed lifelessly to the side. I picked him up, smiling. The thin sinister grin was replaced with that normal thin lined smile. Just your average play thing. I hugged him tightly to my chest as I made my way out of the cart.
The Phantomhive mansion stood proudly before me. For a moment I felt small and frail, yet as I looked down at Usagi I felt empowered. Slowly I made my way towards the big wooden doors. Letting out the breath that I had been holding in for quite a while, I knocked on the door.
A tall shaggy looking man answered the door, rather disheveled. "Do you have ANY idea what hour it is?" He shouted in a husky voice. I stood firm, "It would be approximately six thirty, sir." He raised a brow, "Hmph…"
"Are you Ciel Phantomhive?" I pressed. He frowned, "No." "Does he live here?" "Yes." "May I see him?" "No." This was getting us nowhere. Usagi began to wriggle, in fury. I squeezed him, "Why not?" I persisted, rather annoyed.
The man sighed, angrily, "The young master is asleep right now, miss." I narrowed my eyes, "This is important, sir." He crossed his arms, "How so?" Usagi grew more impatient. "This regards Madam Red and her Will."
The man's eyes grew large, "Beg your pardon?" I glared at him harshly, "The recently deceased, Madam Red." "Is there a problem, Bard?" The man turned, surprised, "N-No, Sebastian…" A taller man stepped around Bard.
His hair was black, his eyes were bright scarlet, and his features were a little too perfect to be human. He was a demon. I glared harshly at the demon in front of me. I knew what they did. Boy, did I know. "My apologies, Miss, how can I be of assistance?"
I growled, lightly, "I need to see Phantomhive; these are very pressing matters, sir." The demon smiled, "Of course, I shall fetch the young master immediately." So he was a butler, of course. Usagi was trying his best not to lash out at the demon.
The man named Bard hovered at the threshold as the demon led me in. "Please, take a seat." I did as I was told. Then as fast as he came, he disappeared. Bard came up, pouting, "Can I get you anything?" his voice thick with sarcasm.
I shook my head; I could feel my eyes begin to water. Bard sighed, "Look, I'm sorry about earlier…it's just that I'm NOT a morning person…" I looked up at him. Why on earth would he apologize? "It's…alright." I murmured, playing with Usagi's ears.
He sighed once more, "Okay…so who are you?" I looked up at his disheveled appearance, smiling, "I belonged to Madam Red…" Bard looked at me, shocked, "Well what is your name?"
"She named me Aisu…" Just then a figure strutted down the grand staircase, nearly sprinting down the steps the demon in toe.
"What is it?" As I stood up noticing that the sprinting figure was a small boy, around twelve. His dark hair was disheveled and his right eye was covered by a black silken patch, just like Usagi. His other was narrowed and angry. He's not a morning person, either.
"My Lord, you are not properly dressed for visitors…" The demon whispered, yet the boy paid no mind. I noticed that the boy was wearing a pure white buttoned down, that was supposedly his night gown. He walked straight up to me.
I was a little shorter than him, but our eyes were leveled. Mine, a bright turquoise, whilst his deep navy. Smiling, I took out the scrolled Will, "Here you are…" He snagged it out of my hand, reading threw it quickly.
"What is the meaning of this? Who are you?" His eye was wide and his mouth was slightly ajar. I giggled, curtsying, "I am….whoever you want me to be." Bard was watching closely, his mouth opened in shock. The demon watched in pure bewilderment from the sidelines.
