Chapter 2:
Ciel tried to calm her breathing down and looked up to see herself staring at her. She shrieked again and backed away.
"Ciel! Calm down!" Sebastian said.
"Who are you and why are you in my body?!" Ciel asked.
"It's just me, Sebastian." he said.
"Wait a minute, how did we switch places? One minute, I was in pain in my body, and the next, I'm waking up in yours."Ciel said.
"I don't know. In all my years, I have never seen anything like this."
"Maybe it had something to do with the cookie. And Lau."
"Or maybe it was Ranmao?" Sebastian suggested.
"We need to go see what's up with this. I don't know how long I'm able to spend time in this body."
"Same here. I must say, being a female wasn't on the agenda for today." Sebastian said.
"What ever you do, don't use the bathroom." Ciel said standing up. "Wow. So THAT'S what the top of my head looks like."
Sebastian rolled his eyes.
"Let's go."
"Twice in one day? Well, my Lady, I am starting to believe you have grown on me."
"Don't be stupid, Lau. What did you do to us?" Ciel asked.
Lau looked at Sebastian. "Ciel, why is your butler speaking to me?"
"Because you and Ranmao did something to put my mind in his, and his mind in mine." Ciel accused.
He looked from Ciel's body to Sebastian's.
"I am afraid I have no idea what you are talking about." he said. "What about you Ranmao?" he asked.
No reply. "Ranmao?"
"She seems to have disappeared." Sebastian said.
"I believe she is the cause of this." Ciel said.
Ranmao peaked from behind Lau.
"I did nothing." she said.
"You're lying. While Sebastian and I were fighting, you handed us some crazy fortune cookie." Ciel explained, and saw Lau's eyes widened. "After I had read the cookie, I felt extreme pain,. And woke in Sebastian's body."
"Ranmao, did you use the magic cookies?" Lau asked. Ranmao nodded. "Well I can't tell you how sorry I am, my Lady."
"You will be sorry later. What the heck is a magic cookie and what does it have to do with us?!" Ciel asked.
Lau sighed and gestured towards the door.
When they were outside, Lau explained.
"Years ago, I had made an experimental batch of fortune cookies. I had put the same message in them, as a joke. But when I gave them to customers, I received complaints about situations similar to yours. I then put the cookies in a secure vault, which only Ranmao and I knew the combination."
"Wait, what did you put in the cookies?" Ciel asked.
"Oh just a little flour, some sugar, and a pinch of-"
"No! I mean to let them have this type of ability?" Ciel said, clearly annoyed.
"Oh. Well I had found a special spice in the back of my cabinet. It was labeled "SPP". It was a tanish color, and was kinda watery."
"SPP?! What does that even mean?" Ciel asked.
"Believe it is a weird acronym." Sebastian said.
"What do you mean?" Ciel asked.
"I've heard of that before, but I have forgotten what it stands for."
"Anyway, why did Ranmao do this?" Ciel asked.
Ranmao whispered into Lau's ear.
"She said that she has seen many people arguing, and soon grew tired of it. So she secretly opened the safe and replaced the magic fortune cookies with the new ones, and gave them to those fighting." Lau said.
"Well how do we change back?" Ciel asked.
"As soon as you can resolve your problem and forgive each other, you can return to your own bodies." Lau said.
"All right then. Sebastian I am sorry for saying that to you." Ciel said.
"It doesn't work that way, my Lady. You must also learn what the other goes through, and truly understand. Then, and only then, will you be the same."
Ciel and Sebastian stared in shock.
"So, you mean to tell me that I have to be stuck in this body longer?!" Ciel asked.
"That's exactly what I'm saying." Lau said.
"Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no. I will not do this." Ciel said.
"I don't believe we have a choice," Sebastian said. "As much as I hate the idea of being a female, I do believe that this is the best solution for our problem."
Ciel sighed. "I guess you're right." she said. "In the meantime, we have to act the part around others. In private we can be ourselves."
"Fine." Sebastian said.
"Let's go then, Sebastian." she said, walking.
"Ah, ah, ah. The butler always walks behind his mistress." Sebastian said, smirking.
Ciel almost growled in annoyance, but knew he was right.
"Let's go, Sebastian." Sebastian said, turning to walk.
"Yes, My Mistress." Ciel sneered, and reluctantly followed them.
"Well that went quite well." Lau said. "Do you think they will accomplish their goal, be able to understand each other, and get their own bodies back?"
"No." Ranmao said.
"Me neither."
When the duo got home they, once again, took their separate paths to each other's rooms. Ciel to Sebastian's and Sebastian to Ciel's.
Ciel sat down on Sebastian's bed and looked around.
Very small, unlike mine. Sebastian better not be snooping around in my room. And if he is, he better not read through my diary. Ciel thought to herself.
Sebastian was, indeed, looking through Ciel's stuff.
He had locked the door to prevent anyone from bursting in, and had covered the windows to prevent anyone trying to spy on him.
He first checked under her bed, only to find lots of dust.
"I'll have to remember to clean this," Sebastian said to himself. He proceeded with rummaging through her wooden cabinet, which he was already forbidden from looking in.
He found exactly what he was looking for.
Her Diary.
He tried to open it, but noticed a lock on it.
Piece of cake, he thought to himself, as he tried to rip the lock off. He failed.
"Why am I not able to break this cursed lock?" he asked himself. Then he remembered. He had switched bodies with Ciel, making her the demon and not him.
"I have to find the key,"
He searched more into the cabinet, but found nothing. He tried to think like Ciel.
If I had a key to my diary, where would I put the key? He thought.
He remembered seeing something shiny in Ciel's hair, and when he asked her about it, she played dumb.
Of course! She hid it beneath her headband! He reached up and tore the headband off, and heard something clatter to the ground. He picked up the key to the diary.
This was gonna be good.
