Note: Basing this off the manga, cuz I haven't watched the anime...Please review, I would love if you did just to know if I'm getting the characters right and what you think about this fanfic.
Kyouko awoke to a bright ray of sunlight shining in her face. She wasn't used to this kind of thing and had always woken up whenever she wanted to. She decided that she might as well get up. Kyouko noticed that her dress and cloak had been sewn together to its original state. Now who could have done that overnight?
Her guess was that demon butler. She could not understand what was the point of staying with that little kid. Was he still here for his soul? Then again…demons did have to fulfill some sort of contract.
Kyouko put on her simple dress along with her cloak. It looked better now then it used to. She wore a simple dress, light blue, nothing frilly. She couldn't understand how nobles could wear such pompous clothing, along with those dreadful corsets! Yuck! Those things would be the death of women.
She heard a crash, followed by an explosion. She did warn that demon butler about it being chaotic, though he seemed not to fazed by it. She headed downstairs to see what had happened. She looked into the entrance of the kitchen and all she saw were blackened walls and a man standing in the middle of it.
"Now, where was that crash?" She asked herself. She snuck away from the kitchen as she heard the man yell something about cooking. Walking through the hallways, she spotted that maid again. She had dropped various vases onto the floor. Those had to be priceless.
She thought this place would be going crazy by now, but it seemed to just be coming from these two.
"Hello, Mister demon butler," She said to Sebastian. He was right behind her and was about to say good morning to her. How did she know he was standing here?
"The young master wishes to speak with you," Sebastian said. "I will take you to him."
Kyouko followed Sebastian to what looked like the main room. Ciel was seated among shelves of books near a fireplace.
"Sebastian has told me that you are strange for being a commoner. Who are you?" Ciel asked. So, the butler's name was Sebastian.
"I am Kyouko. I'm but a simple wanderer. I wouldn't mind staying here though," She said. "I can be of great use, that is, if you trust me."
"Trust you? Why should I?" Ciel asked. Typical rich boy, she thought.
"How would you like me to prove it?" She asks, ready for his challenge, though she knew he wouldn't be able to give her a challenge. Ciel thinks about it. He could have the girl do anything. Anything! The hard thing was choosing what to do.
"Well, answer this then, how can you be of great use?" Ciel asks. He needed to know more about this stranger.
"Let's see…some blondie will burst in here apologizing to Sebastian about cutting all the hedges again," She answered with confidence.
"Finny?" Ciel asked.
"I do not know his name," Kyouko said, than the doors flew open.
"Sebastian!" Finny shouted. "I'm sorry for cutting all the hedges again! I didn't mean to! Can you fix it?" He then notices Ciel is in the room. Ciel gave a small shocked expression. Sebastian takes Finny outside and goes to fix the hedges for him, leaving Ciel and Kyouko alone.
"Would you like another demonstration?" Kyouko asks Ciel.
"No. You proved your worth without ever being here before," He says.
"So, you trust me?"
"I do. Now, what is it that you really want?"
"Just to stay here for a while. I'm not sure how long, but I will become your new maid to pay for staying here."
"Sebastian will teach you how everything is done here. I expect you to inform me on everything unexpected that may happen."
"Of course, young master, Ciel," Kyouko said with a bow.
"You know my name?" Ciel asked her.
"I believe I have heard of you…Phantomhive, correct?" She asked.
"Sebastian was right, you are a strange girl," He said nodding. Sebastian then walks in.
"Teach her everything you know," Ciel orders.
"Yes, my lord," Sebastian bows and takes Kyouko away.
"I'll have to keep a look out on this girl…though, she does seem trustworthy," Ciel says to himself as he wonders how he could use her.
Sebastian showed Kyouko all around the house. He introduced her to Finny, Bard, Mey-Rin, and Tanaka. They greeted Kyouko and thought nicely of her. Was Sebastian the only one worrying so much about this new girl?
Didn't Ciel find it odd that she could foretell such events? Unlike everyone else, he would not fall for her little tricks. Was she even human? Sebastian was unable to identify her as one. She could be a demon out for Ciel's soul, or a Shinigami. It amazed him how much this girl was…annoying him.
"Sebastian?" Kyouko asked. "What should I do first?" She looked at him innocently.
"Can you cook?" He asked.
"Nope," She answered simply.
"Then just start cleaning."
"Cleaning what? Don't Tanaka and Mey-Rin clean?" She asked.
"They don't do a very good job," He muttered. "Go and fix up the library then. I'm sure that place needs to be cleaned and place the books back on their shelves."
"I shall do so," She says and heads over to the library. While everyone is busy, Sebastian figures he could go off and spend some alone time with his cats.
"Meow!" The little black cat meowed as Sebastian approached it.
"Why can't humans be more like you," He said to the little cat.
"You are quite the interesting demon," Kyouko said from behind. Sebastian turned around.
"You finished already?" He asked. She gave no answer, but walked up to the little cat and began to pet it.
"You know, you ask a lot of questions," She stated as the cat turned its attention back to Sebastian.
"I would like to get some answers, but it doesn't seem like I am," Sebastian said a little angry. She really did annoy him.
"If you're worried about your young master, don't be. His soul is yours to take," She said as she meowed to the cat, hoping to get its attention switched to her.
"Can you at least answer one of my questions?" He asked. Sebastian had to admit that she did a real good impression of a cat.
"Which one?"
"What exactly are you?"
"That will be revealed in due time…but I don't mind answering another question since that wasn't quite the answer you were looking for," She said to him. There were just to many questions he had to ask her. He thought it through and found one, which she wouldn't be able to dodge.
"Can you see into the future?" He asked. She gave him a smirk.
"Smart demon. It seems like you figured out my secret. Not that it matters anyway," She said sarcastically.
"So, you can…that would explain a lot," He said as he got up.
"It would be best if only you and Ciel know…I guess the others to, but they'd just bother me if they knew about it," Kyouko said as she pet the cat one last time and stood next to Sebastian.
"What's the matter? Don't you trust me?" She asked him.
"Honestly, I do not. Maybe in the future?" Sebastian asked, testing her. She chuckled.
"Oh, trust me, Sebastian, your future isn't what you want it to be at the moment."
