Episode One

Ciel watched lazily from his desk his butler pouring tea. As the aroma wafted to his nose, he muttered, "Earl Gray? Don't tell me you are getting lazy Sebastian. That was the tea I drank in the morning."

Sebastian smiled, replying "My lord, you have caught me red handed. I have a perfect alibi to the case. The servants were having quite a bit of trouble earlier. I apologize for not fulfilling my duty to the Phantomhive household."

Ciel scowled as he recalled the antics of his three other servants, Mey Rin, Bard, and Finnian. "Why not teach them how to do better, Sebastian. I'm sure that you are capable of at least doing that."

Sebastian smiled again and said, "If that is what the lord wishes." That was when Mey Rin ran into the office.

"I'm sorry for interrupting, Lord Ciel, but there is a girl at the front door wishing to see the master!" she gasped out, her glasses askew.

Ciel frowned. "Who could be here this late? I am sure that the time to retire has arrived. Why, its after dinner!"

Sebastian smiled and said, "Would you like me to send her away my lord?"

Ciel waved his hand at the notion. "Yes, I would like nothing better. While your at it, warm water for my bath."

Sebastian smiled and bowed, his right hand over his chest. "As you wish my lord."

Sebastian walked down to the large wooden doorway to the mansion. He glanced at the footprints of custard from the Italian man that had visited the home earlier. With a sweep of his hands, the floors were cleaned and spotless. As he checked for other imperfections in the mansion, her heard a knock at the door. A voice, one that sounded of a twelve year old girl, peeped through the door.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Sebastian sighed as he turned around to open the door. His tailcoat fluttered as he strode to the door and opened it. What he saw shocked him. It was a girl, yes, but someone that he had not seen for hundreds of years. As he was temporarily at loss for words, she whispered, "Just as I suspected..."

Sebastian cleared his throat, his mind still reeling. What could on of this kind be doing on the Phantomhive doorstep? This just seems to unlikely.

"I'm sorry, but the lord is busy. Please bring your business some other day." he said politely, before swinging the doors shut.

The girl stuck out her foot and stopped the doors. "Sebastian, is that alias you are going by now? I know this may be unexpected, but its an order from the higher-ups. You must let me in unless you want see your own demise."

Sebastian stopped, his eyes reverting to one's of a demon. "So, this is my business, a contract willfully made. Tell them that this is completely legal business."

The girl sighed and stepped inside, lugging her baggage with ease. "I'm sorry, Sebastian. This is something I must do." With that she walked upstairs, Sebastian following behind.

"How long have they been monitoring my activity?" he inquired to the girl.

She in return sighed and said, "They have been watching you since you first reacted to the pleas of the child. You couldn't just let him go, could you? Now its my duty to set it right."

Sebastian sighed as she stopped in front of the office. "I see they even gave you the layout of the building."

The girl frowned, replying "Of course. They've seen what you've done with that Italian sinner."

With that Sebastian called through door, "My lord, my deepest apologies, but this is a visitor you must see."

The boy replied, "What was my order Sebastian? I said to send the person away."

The girl then called out, "I'm sorry Earl Phantomhive, but I must insist on seeing you. Please do not blame this on your butler."

The boy sighed, wishing to get this over with. "Fine, come in."

The doors opened to reveal the young boy sitting in his grand desk finishing off the tea from earlier.

"Good evening Earl Phantomhive, my name is Danica. I apologize for arriving in the late night, but I have traveled quite a long way to find employment in the house of Phantomhive. I must ask for this occupation, will you accept my offer?" the girl said, kneeling in front of the boy.

Ciel glared at the girl, asking, "Give me a reason to hire you."

The girl looked up with a smile, not unlike Sebastian's, her long brown hair hanging over her soldiers, her violet eyes sparkling.

"You see my lord, as the way your butler would put it, I am simply a Heavenly* maid."

End of Chapter one. Please review and tell me how I am doing with the characters!

Note*= This quote implies to the one Sebastian frequently states: "I am simply one hell of a butler."
