Hey y'all, thanks for reading chapter 2! I was really surprised at the reviews I got haha, Thanks! I didn't expect that many. Oh and I won't reveal my gender teehee. You can guess though.
Anyways, I forgot to mention that last chapter I purposely made it so you wouldn't know what gender the MC was lol. But actually, many of you can probably tell by the story picture when I finish drawing it and set it as the cover pic.
Oh and another thing there a review saying that Yokai is the japanese word for demon/ghost. Well, to answer that (even though I know that person probably won't be reading this chapter I'll just clarify it for everyone), it's wrong, kinda, but on the right track-ish. The word 'Yōkai' can mean various things and not just demon/ghost. Like natural/mysterious phenomenas. It's kinda too long to explain so you can google up and go to the page and search the for post "What does Yokai mean in English?" the site is very interesting if I must say. I'll probably will forget about this as I continue on with this story LOL. By the way, isn't the japanese word for ghost Yurei?
Ok! Sorry for talking too much, I'll talk to you guys later at the end of this chapter. So enjoy!
Chapter 2: Green Tea, Familiar Name, And an Unpleasant Way to Wake Up
It's been more than 30 minutes since I've entered Ciel's mansion and started exploring. Man, I don't think I've explored a third of this place yet! I opened another door and looked inside, then shutting it. I'm getting thirsty now, wheres the kitchen?
After walking for another few minutes I heard voices coming from a room. Hm? I walked towards the sound and found myself infront of a large brown door. I pressed my ear against the door frame and listened.
"Your instinct for dance is not so much lacking as catastrophic, Young master. You mustn't simply hang off of me." Said a familiar voice.
"You're just too tall!" yelled another familiar voice.
Was that Sebastian and Ciel? Why are they dancing? Fufu, seems like Ciel isn't so good at it though. I know eavesdropping is bad but hey, its fun and I could learn some useful information.
"Most importantly, you must first do something about that glum expression. Its rude to a lady." I heard Ciel groan.
"Here, smile, as if you're having fun"
"LET GO!" Ciel screamed.
"Young Master.."
"Anyway, I've... I've...forgotten how to smile like I'm having fun.."
I stopped pressing my ear against the door and leaned on the door with my back. Forgotten how to smile huh?... Reminds me of me back then. I wonder how can a kid like Ciel not know how to smile? Unless he's gone through something that traumatized him then I would understand. I pushed myself off the door and began walking away. Like me, maybe one day you'll be able to smile, Ciel.
Man, all this reminiscing of the past is starting to get to me, wheres the kitchen? I need a drink! After another minute or so I finally found it. It was on the first floor... Well, ok, that was kind of obvious, but hey! Maybe there are places where they have their kitchen on the 2nd floor right?!
I began rummaging through the cabinets looking for a tea set and some tea leaves. I hope theres green tea it's my favourite. Ah ha! found them! Wow, this is pretty high green quality tea isn't it? Should I use this?... I mean.. Ciel... I don't want too waste such...
Ah, who cares! Its not like Ciel drinks green tea every day right? and I can see that theres a bunch of other tea leaves lined up here. No one will notice! I began humming as I prepared my green tea.
Stare... Currently right now, I feel left out. Here I am sipping on some green tea by the railings of the stairs I watch down below. Everyone but Sebastian and I were dancing. Well Sebastians providing the music. Earlier I planned to go to a nice room I found that had books to read. But then, Ciel and Sebastian came as I was walking up to the 2nd floor. Ciel was dressed nicely too so I wondered what that was about, so I followed. And so here I am feeling left out and depressed. Everyone is having so much fun... If only I introduced myself earlier!
Seems like Ciels gotten the hang of dancing now. I think its called, Waltz? I'm not too familiar with the western culture since all this time I've been living in the east. And Sebatians pretty good with the violin if I must say. It goes well with the tea.
Earlier, when Ciel was having some drama with Elizabeth, he said his name was Ciel Phantomhive.
... Ciel Phantomhive... where have I heard of that name? Ciel? No. Phantomhive? The name certainly sounds familiar but I can't seem to remember. It's probably something from long ago. I'll probably remember soon enough during my stay here. I yawned and stretched. Now then, I guess I'll go return the tea cup to the kitchen and find a nice room with a nice bed to sleep on. I stood up and made my way to the kitchen.
A room a room~ wheres a nice room with a nice comfy bed? I skipped down the hallway, opening and shutting doors to check if there was a bed. If there was a bed then I'd test the bed out by jumping, rolling and lying on it. Of course, I messed up the blanket after that and didn't bother fixing it. It's not that the butlers and the maid would go to every single bedroom just to clean it every day right? So far all the beds were pretty good, but! I just know! theres an even better one! It took another 8 minutes before finding the so called, comfiest bed in the house.
I flopped myself onto the bed and lied on my stomach. Uwa~ this soft feeling, I feel like I can fall asleep right now... No need for covers, my haori is warm enough...zzzz.
It was night and Ciel prepared to go to bed.
"You seem to be quite enjoying yourself" said Sebastian as he helped Ciel button up his shirt.
"Don't be a fool" Ciel said and touched where his ring had once been and gasped.
"Which of us is the fool?" Sebastian asked.
Sebastian grabbed Ciels hand and covered them with his, "This is important to you isn't it? And yet you showed off for Lady Elizabeth." Moving his hands away revealed a ring that Ciel threw, and was now resting upon his thumb once again. Ciel gasped.
"This is..."
"A Phantomhive butler who can't do this much sin't worth his salt." Sebastian said with a proud tone. "This ring, exists to be on your finger, please cherish it."
"Thats right, this ring witnessed the death of many masters" Ciel stared at the ring on his thumb.
Ciel brought his hands to his head, "My grandfather, my father... and I'm sure it will be present at my death too" Ciel closed his eyes, "It's heard the dying screams of the family heads over and over. When Close my eyes, I can hear them... those wretched voices..."
"I thought to myself, 'If I throw away the ring, maybe I'll stop hearing them.' Ridiculous, isn't it?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian stared at Ciel with a somber face and sighed, "Goodness, look at how high the moon has risen. You'll make yourself sick this way, please get some rest."
"Yea.." Ciel moved his hand and touched something.
"Ugu.." A mysterious sound was heard. No, it was more like a groan.
"?!.." Ciel quickly removed his hands and jumped off the bed. Sebastian immediately stood in front of Ciel. Both were staring at the now visible figure on Ciel's bed.
Sebastian was utterly confused, how could he had not noticed the unknown person on his master's bed? Better yet, notice an unknown presence in the house.
Ciel was also confused, how did Sebastian, a powerful demon who had enhanced sense not notice and report about this person.
"Ugu.." I felt someone putting a bit of pressure on my back/side of my stomach. It tickled. I slowly got up from the bed and rubbed my eyes. I looked to the side and saw Sebastian and Ciel staring in my direction. Or was it me?
...
CRAP, I LET MY GUARD DOWN. DAMN THIS BED. I began sweating and raised a hand.
"Ah-uhm, good morning? or night? My, what a comfy bed you have here Young Master." I let out a nervous laugh.
Thanks for reading Chapter 2! Haha! you thought I would reveal the name of the MC in this chapter? But no! I did not! haha! Kay, sorry about that. Don't worry I'll reveal it in the next chapter. Review if you'd like.
Anyhow, See you next chapter!
