Part - I

"I heard you like playing games, right earl Ciel Phantomhive?" - The mysterious guess said looking up to the earl in his one blue eye.

"Yes, yes indeed I do." - Ciel said and looked boredom at his guest who was smaller then him, but as said had a massage to young lord. The little boy was dressed in fine clothes and specked in a fine temper, that's why Ciel even let him give a chance to give his massage to him. Oh, and the young earl didn't have anything to do any more, there weren't any new cases, massages from the queen nor paperwork to do. It had been quiet for a while and Ciel didn't like it one bit. He felt like something was going on, but when he asked around about it, the answer was that everything has already been done for.

"Well then why not play one of mine games, I made it specially for you!" - The stranger squealed and smiled putting his cup of tea down and pulling a note out of one of his pockets.

"And what kinda of a game will that be?" - Ciel looked curiously at the boy in front of him. Maybe this would be something interesting.

"Oh, you'll see in the note." - The stranger said and put the note on the tea table in front of Ciel and then stood up and looked at the time from his coat watch.

"You'll have to excuse me, it looks like I'll have to run to my next task. Farewell Ciel Phantomhive, I hope to see you soon." - The boy bowed and in a quick step walked to the door, but Sebastian stopped him by opening the door and already ready to show the young guest out.

"Oh, there is no need to help me, I'll find my own way out." - The boy said to Sebastian and walked out closing the door behind him.

"Well that was something you don't see every day. A small child walking around, acting like a noble man." - Sebastian said and smiled innocently at Ciel, mocking him, knowing that his words will annoy his young master.

Ciel groaned at him and then looked at the massage that the boy had given him. The stamp on the wax was in a interesting pattern, none like he had seen before. The color of the wax was interesting too. Half of it was black, half of it was white. And there was a writing on the back of it, that said -

"To Ciel Phantomhive.

And butler here are the lines of what you need to say to him and what he'll say back, don't screw them up...-"

The lines were made in the same order as they talked and Ciel actually did say all of this, word in word. This made Ciel almost gasp, how was this possible? So the writer was already known with him and this well. But this made him see that at first as he trough the small boy was who wanted to play something, really isn't the one. There was someone else and they were so unorganized that wrote his lines on the back of the letter or did they do it on purpose to make Ciel freak out of the matter that they already knew what he is going to say back. This freaked him out as the same made him feel a bit more alive. Finally something is going on!

Ciel carefully opened the letter, to not break the wax stamp and took out one blank of paper. It had neatly written hand writing on it.

Ciel put the page on his desk.

"Sebastian read it for me." - Ciel ordered his Butler and Sebastian in a slow motion walked over to the desk and took the blank in his hands and started to read.

"Good day "The guard dog of the queen" or earl Ciel Phantomhive.

You may not know me right now, but soon you will, you'll just have to wait a little while.

I have heard a lot about you trough this year, what kinda of works you have done and how much of a character you are in England's society.

And you maybe wondering why aren't there any new crime cases. You see I have took care of them all to make you bored and up for a new adventure or how would you call it, a game.

I have heard you enjoy games and are pretty good at them, if so then I hope you'll be up for my game. I would want a respect full opponent to battle with. You probably see as much as I do that there aren't really a lot people like you around. Little, but with a strong force and help.

If you are willing to play my game, you'll need to play by my rules, if you object to any of them, we can sit down and talk trough them to make both of our sides happy and enjoyable to play around with the new game. The rules will be given to you after you have shown your participants in the game. To show your acceptance in the play in this game, trough a mask ball overmorrow night at your mansion.

I will be attending the ball as a stranger, but I'm gonna mask myself in the crowd. You'll have to find me to get the rules from me myself and have a talk about them with tea or if you do not find me, I'll just send them in the morning to you.

Sincerely your new frenemie and hopefully future play mate.

P.s. Don't try to find me already, wait until the ball so this would be more of a fun game. If you do try, then I will not play anything with you and our future game will be dismissed."

"Master, you look a bit... happy?" - Sebastian looked at his master in a confusion way.

"Yes, I am happy, finally there is something to do!" - Ciel said and started thinking of who is the person who wrote this letter to him. Was he a grown up or a child like him?

"So... do I already go and arrange the ball and spread the news?" - Sebastian said and broke Ciels trance in thinking.

"Yes, you do that." - Ciel said and went back to thinking. Sebastian took the tea pots from the table and put them back on the food trait. He put the letter back on the table for his young lord to reread. He was about to start to walk out when he remembered.

"My lord, do I too try to suspect who the writer is?" - Sebastian looked at his young lord, thinking what will the answer be.

"No, the letter said 'Don't try to find me' right, I don't want to ruin the fun for me in finding the person and I look forward in this 'game'." - Ciel smiled devilishly and with a hand swiped in the air sent Sebastian off to work.

Ciel took the letter from the table and start to reread it as Sebastian left the room.

'So this person has been taking my business in there hands and doing it, just to make me bored? Why? And how am I not hearing about this earlier, I mean if there is a new detective in town, how am I hearing this from the letter not peoples talks? And why isn't the queen sent something to me? Has this person taken my place in being the queens guard?' Ciel thought to himself and already started to plan what is he going to say to the person who wrote this.

'This looks like it's gonna be fun.'
