AGH! I'm nervous right now as I'm about to publish this. My first Fanfic ever published onto the outside world where everyone can see it! Anyway, this is the first chapter of my story.
… I know the title's weird but I can't think of titles! Anyway [I say anyway a lot…], please enjoy :3
Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji [Black Butler] OR Gosick. I would've never came up with an idea as terrific as that.
CHAPTER ONE:
"So. This is the place." Ciel Phantomhive thought aloud, looking passed the Saint Marguerite Academy gates, his butler following close behind. "Victorique de Blois, the grey wolf who can solve any case, reconstructing the fragments using her wellspring of wisdom."
He pointed to the tall tower by the school. "She spends her time reading in the library there." He looked back at his butler. "Sebastian take me-"
"Hello there! You must be the guests the queen sent to us." A strange lady asked full of excitement, coming from behind. "Ciel Phantomhive, am I right? I'm-"
"Cecile Lafitte." Ciel said blankly, still looking at the tall tower.
"Uh, yeah." Cecile notices his eyes on the library. "I see you're interested on the library."
"Yes, I am." He turned to look at the brown-haired teacher. "Would you please escort me there?"
"Absolutely!" She smiled, opening the gate in front of them pretty dramatically. "Welcome to St. Marguerite Academy!"
She pushed up her glasses and cleared her throat. "Thanks." Ciel muttered. She smiled and walked on.
Her heels clicked as she walked. The birds tweeted in the distance. The trees swayed in the breeze; the leaves rustling, blowing off and dancing in the wind.
"The weather today is perfect, isn't it?" Cecile inhaled the fresh air, and sighed it all out. "The scene is terrific, also. We've only had days like these about 4 times a year. You came at the perfect time!"
Ciel stayed silent, feeling awkward as he followed. Sebastian walked beside him. "Today is a very wonderful day," the butler replied to the teacher, noticing his master's awkwardness.
They stayed silent the rest of the way there. They reached the doors of the library, and the teacher stopped. "Well, there you go! Yell for me when you need anything." Cecile smiled.
"Thank you very much, Cecile." Sebastian thanked.
"No problemo!" She walked away.
Sebastian pushed open the doors, Ciel walked through them before him. He walked to a wall of books, looking at different types of books before him, then turned around and looked at the stairs. Then he looked up.
The stairs went all the way to the top, crossing over each other, going up to a platform on the sides almost right under the ceiling, where the sun was shining through. He walked over to the start of the stairs, and started walking up them.
"Young master, are you sure you want to walk up all those stairs?"
"I'm fine."
The stairs were terrible. Ciel felt like his legs were going to fall off once he reached the top. Not wanting to make a bad picture and sit down, he managed to stay standing.
There was a beautiful garden up here. The ceiling above it had amazing paintings to compliment them, and the shining sun tops it off, showing off their bright colors. Ciel looked around. "It's a pretty good eye popper for this library," he muttered quietly to himself. "Now, where's the girl?"
He spotted a pile of books to his left, opened halfway, along with a bag of sweets. "Victorique de Blois. Show yourself."
"What do you need?" A short girl with long, blond hair and emerald eyes, wearing a black, lacey, and frilly Victorian dress walks in to the right of the two guests, along with a boy; black hair, burgundy eyes, wearing the black school uniform walks in to the guests' right, from the elevator. "Ciel Phantomhive. The queen's guard dog. I suppose she brought you here."
"Victorique, the girl with her wellspring of wisdom." He looked at her, then to the boy at the right. "And who's he?"
"Kazuya Kujo." The boy replied kindly, but with a hint of bluntness.
"He doesn't matter." Victorique said bluntly. Kujo had a weird shock of disappointment, then looked down and sighed.
"You still haven't answered my question, Phantomhive. Why are you here? What does the queen need that has to do with me?"
"Wow, I like your attitude." Ciel walked closer to her. "I heard you can solve anything. Now, there's a disease spreading around. They don't really have a name for it yet. People have been dying from the age of two weeks, but they look as if they are the right age to die, as if they are dying of old age." He stepped closer to Victorique with a small smirk. "Two weeks old, but looks and feels as if they are 85." He stopped in front of her; they were now face to face. "How is this happening?"
Victorique rolled her eyes, and look at Ciel. "You're in my bubble, Phantomhive." She took a step back, and Kujo got a bit closer to her, kind of uneasy about this guy, pushing everything on Victorique like that. "Anyway, this is not enough information. I need to know about more about this case before I can solve anything." She looked over at the quiet boy standing next to her. "Kujo. I'm going to need you to get more information about this."
"O.K... But where am I going to get this information?" Kujo asked confused.
"You're helpless." Ciel sighed, resting his head in his hand, his other hand supporting his elbow.
"I think it'd be easier for all of us to just find out together." Kujo suggested, with a slight smile. "I mean, if just one of us gets the information, it won't be enough."
Victorique sighed. "Fine. You owe me for making me walk, though."
WELL! There we go; the end of chapter one. That tells you there's going to be more! YAY! :D [I finally have something to do instead of having no life…] So, what do you think? I appreciate hate, advice, criticism, compliments, and other things along those lines. [Do I sound desperate? I hope not.] Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! If you did then you should come back for the next chapter. ;3
