A Girl And Her Demon Maid

Chapter 2

Here Comes Trouble

Me and Niera looked at the man clad in red. He had a certain...weirdness about him as he swirled around see i'm to be Ciel Phantomhive's future wife and Niera well...she's in it deep...Y'see Sebastian is her EX-boyfriend but he has this weird delusion that they're still together. Me and Niera just stared at him.

"Grell! What are you doing here?" asked Ciel. I gasped.

"Whoa you know this man?" I asked.

"Yes...for the most part." Ciel answered. Grell seemed quite the card. I watched him talk with Ciel and Sebastian. Me and Niera starting whispering to each other.

"Maybe this is our que to leave, Niera."

"W-What?...I thought you were planning to spend the night."

"Oh no no no...I couldn't...Not without my father getting worried about me. Let's just leave. Besides that Sebastian fellow is dangerous."

"Yes,Ma'am."

"Where are you going, Ashelia?" asked Ciel. They all looked at us.

"Oh...Umm We were going to go ahead and leave. You seem quite busy."

Ciel was surprised. He walked up to me and whispered in my ear.

"Stay the night. I don't you going out at this time of night. Those men you ran into were some old business partners of mine which I broke it off with. They'd do anything to get the strings re-tied. Even kidnap what is mine and only mine." I gasped at Ciel's words.

''Ciel, we really can't stay. My father is going to be angr-"

"Don't worry, M'lady...You and Niera can stay here the night. I've informed your father that you'll be staying at a friend's house until the end of the weekend."

"But...Today's monday..."

"Exactly." said Sebastian.

"NYA~SEBAS-CHAN! WHO ARE THESE LOVELY PEOPLE? HA HA HA!"

I gasped at the man. He seemed close to Sebastian. Were they lovers at one point? I needed a answer. And if I ever needed a answer. I asked Niera otherwise I was in the dark and It irritated me not to have the information i needed. Information is power. The more you know of your enemy the better.

"This is Niera Liastia and my bethrothed,Lady Ashelia Mainte` Rosa. Ladies won't you introdu-..Hmm?" I gazed at my beloved as she stand near the wall with her eyes to the ground as Niera whispered in her ear. They reminded me of me and Sebastian. How me and him exchange information where information is needed. She gasped and looked up at us.

"Yes, Ciel?"

"Yes...Ashelia this is Grell. He's-"

"He's a shinigami. His full name is Grell Sutcliff and he's a friend of Sebastian's...Am i right?"

Ciel humphed.

"You have as much tendency as I do when it comes to getting information."

"Right...It's very nice to meet you."

"Kya~...Seba-chan you never told me this girl was so cute!"

"Yes...Grell, that girl Niera over there is my girlfriend. Won't you say hi?" asked Sebastian with a devilish smile. Niera gasped.

"G-...G-...G-...G-...G-...GIRLFRIEND?" screamed Grell. He stared daggers at Niera.

"Quite wrong...QUITE wrong indeed."

"Indubitably!" I yelled. I countinued. "Ciel, your butler forced Niera to lay with him! Isn't that right?"

"YES. HE. DID. HE IS ABSOLUTELY A TERRIBLE PERSON!"

"I know...He told me."

"YEAH!...WHAT?" I shrieked. Ciel looked at me with these...blue eyes...eyes I never thought i'd see on him this soon.

"You'll be staying with us and getting used to the mansion. I will teach all the secret paths and exits. So if somebody does try something...You'll be able to escape." Ciel said while pushing my hair behind my ear with his cold hands. He held his wooden walker in his hands.

"Why?...Why should you care if I get hurt?...We've only just met."

"M-M'lady that's not-" I raised my finger to Niera and stared at Ciel in all seriousness.

"Hmph...That's what I like in a woman. To be serious at all times...It intrigues quite a bit."

"You don't know what you want in a woman, Ciel...Because your nothing but a boy and i'm nothing but a girl."

"Hmm...No...Your more woman then any girl..."

"And your...i don't know."

"You tease me over trivial matters,my darling."

Me and Ciel stared at each other. Had I known this would THIS big of a problem. I would have NEVER EVER came here. Ciel's so cute though...I bet he thinks i'm nothing but a fool. But i'll serve him wrong.

"Don't worry, Ashelia...You'll be treated like a queen here."

As I looked at Ashelia...Those eyes which pierced my soul...She's absolutely beautiful...Absolutely.

"I'm getting tired of you floccinaucinihilipilificating me!"

"Excuse me?...How in the world am I judging you as worthless?"

"Oh...Didn't think you'd know those types of words."

"I'm quite educated, my love."

Ashelia blushed ever so cutely. She made me heart flutter. But she's stubborn. I'll never be able to take her opinions away from her. Never. I love this woman for that reason. Hmm...

"You'll sleep in my chambers-"

"I beg your pardon? I sleep in no room with NOBODY. Niera will be sleeping with me."

"Actually..." said Sebastian. He continued. "She's a servant. It's only proper that she sleep in the butler's corner. If I may be so bold."

"Sebastian was it?" I asked.

"Yes, Ma'am?"

"No."

Sebastian looked at Ciel. Ciel looked at me. And I looked at him. I gave him that you say yes I'll kill you look. He blinked twice and said...

"Niera will be sleeping with Sebastian and the others."

"WHAT?" Me and her both yelped. I was afraid. What were these two planning? I'll have to stay on my toes.

"Doesn't matter. Me and Niera are leaving! This instant!"

I walked down the stairs and to the door with Niera behind me. We tried to open the doors but they were locked already. From the outside? I turned around and saw Ciel's back turned and Sebastian with a evil look on his face.

"My sweet, naive Ashelia...You'll be going nowhere. And even if you did manage to get outside. Your driver is gone."

"I can drive us!" said Niera.

"Oh?" in a split second, Sebastian was one inch from Niera's face. His eyes were violet...They looked...evil. Niera was scared. So scared that she was shaking.

"Believe me, Niera...We'll be catching up tonight. As we did this afternoon." He put his finger to his mouth. Me and Niera gulped.

"Ciel! I won't lie. I'm afraid. I've never been held against my will before. If you truly want me to gain your respect and trust. Let me roam the mansion as I like AND Niera must be at my side at all times!" Ciel turned and looked at me. He walked towards me with calm eyes. I was afraid at what he was about to do. He stopped when he was at arms length of me.

"Don't worry, my dear. You'll have all the freedom you want. All the jewels you want,the clothes,the servants...I'm going to spoil you rotten." Ciel kissed my cheek and walked off. I was astounded. Never had I felt so...Oh i'm about to faint.

"M-M'lady!..."Niera rushed to me as I was about to hit the ground in the fires of one-sided love. I didn't though. Sebastian went Oh! I turned to see what was the matter.

"Young Master, It appears that Dubois is here for your meeting and transferance of bills and budgets."

"My, He's here sooner then I thought."

"He's always been fashionably early."

"All he wants is money from us anyways...But,My Ashelia have you ever done transactions with Mr. Dubois?"

I flinched at Ciel's words. ?...

"Hmm...Now that I think about it...I have done business with him but our contract said if he ever did business with business related to ours the transactions would stop...He asks for a half of a million pounds every year from us-"

"As he does with us." said Ciel. I gasped. This phoney man,Dubois! He's been getting a million dollars from both Me and Ciel's ...He signed a legal document SAYING he wouldn't do that. But...Are my and Ciel's businesses in any way related to the other? I'll have to check out records to see if Ciel has been giving or receiving money from my father's company...No,MY company. I'll have to learn that my father is no longer running this business. It'll be a hard change but I'll have to become less naive.

"Niera." I said.

"Madam?" Niera turned to me with all seriousness.

" signed the contract between our companies that he would not make transactions with our company's allies and/or affiliates or that would damage our reputation. Am I correct?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"It's also true that he's been making transactions with the Phantomhive Company?" I turned to Ciel for a answer. He nodded.

"But...Is the Phantomhive Company a affiliate to ours?"

We all froze in the room. It was a big question whether or not we were allies. I didn't know Ciel for that long. And since I hadn't the records with me at the moment. I had no idea whether or not we've made enough transactions to be CALLED allies or this is the first time our businesses have came at a crossroads with the other. I couldn't be too sure.

"Sebastian, Go grab the contract of Dubois' authenticity. My Fiancee` has to have a look at them-"

"They'll be no need for that,Ciel."

I looked at Ashelia with her arms crossed biting on her right thumb as she was immersed in thought. That puzzled look on her face was so lovely. A woman like her has no problem dabbling in the caverns of her wide mind. She was questioning if our companies were in any way affiliated with the other. Niera came close to me and whispered.

"Lady Ashelia has a photographic memory. A couple years ago, I caught her studying the records of over 10 in the entire history of Mainte` Rosa's company and transactions. Right now, I can bet she's just swifting through pages...Endless pages."

"How does she do all that memorizing? That's over a million pages worth of information."

"Nah...She only memorized the ones that mattered. The contracts that were signed and the times and dates certain transactions were made. That's not alot for Mainte` Rosa."

"Not many people go into business with Mainte` Rosa anymore?"

"No, not exactly. Back when ` Rosa was running things the business was way more prosperous. Not saying it isn't now but ever since it switched hands things have been more...slow. People stopped coming to the Mainte` Rosas for business because a woman was running things. And that made Her Ladyship very upset. All the businesses that shunned her now want to do business. I've heard some of them talking. Heh heh. About how tragic it is that they were so stubborn as to not pluck a flower of it's nector as bright as Her Ladyship's sooner. She made them regret. Coming out with bright and amazing new ideas for toys and clothing and such. Ohhh...She made them mourn. Ha ha ha!...She laughed at dinners and parties. But her step-mother, Lady Sophie-Anne didn't like the way she was flourishing in the business. Her father was amazingly proud. So proud that him and Sophie-Anne barely talked let alone...layed together. I listened to arguements between them he once said 'You may be my wife,but THAT is my daughter. No matter what happens she came first and you came THIRD' I giggled in the darkness of the hallway. I saw her three children listening in as well. I giggled all the more. They argued and argued and argued. But...Ashelia was always on-top of Master Mainte` Rosa's mind. The bond between a daughter and her father is just in front of a brother and his little sister. His daughter is the side of him that tells him not to punch the man that just swindled him,not to insult the man who's account he needs,and not to slap the woman he currently calls wife."

"Oh?...Tell me, How in the world is SHE his WIFE?" Ciel asked Niera.

"Well Ciel, it's a long story. You see Sophie-Anne is indeed born from a noble family. BUT her father is indeed wealthy but he's not the most liked person so he doesn't do business."

"Doesn't do business?"

"DOESN'T do business. With anybody. Sophie-Anne was appalled at the fact her STEP-daughter was making more money then her father did in a MONTH so to take it to drastic measures she tried to sabotage Ashelia. Of course, I caught her rummaging through the file cabinets. I asked her what she was doing. She said 'I'm kicking the cow in the udder now go away, servant.' I didn't go anywhere. I told her if she does that it could ruin her and her husband. She asked me how so. I didn't say anything. She realized all she had was the work of Ashelia. Her food,clothes,fake hair,shoes and even her awful make-up all came out of the money ASHELIA made. I told her that exactly. She was astounded. She had thought Mr. Mainte` Rosa was the one giving her the money for her family and their well-being. It hit her like a ton of stones. This entire thing was an insult to her and her family. Ashelia once told me that she'd keep giving money to Mrs. Sophie-Anne until she realized what it meant when she gave her the amounts of money she did. It was a direct insult that Sophie-Anne didn't catch on to until later."

"What was the insult?" asked Ciel.

"Hmph...Lady Ashelia is quite the clever one. The insult is in a sentence. 'I control you in ways you can't even see. If it wasn't for the fact my father is kept in your clutches I would have thrown you out long ago. I am the source of your happiness. As easily as i've given it to you. I can easily take it away. Don't forget who came into this situation with the whip in her hands. If you so much as mess up anything dealing around me and my father. You'll regret it.' I can imagine her saying those exact words actually. Her Ladyship is quite the trickster. She'll do anything to get a laugh."

"That's amazing. She's intense in every way of the word."

"Exactly."

"Darn it, I don't have any memory of anything related to this. Ciel, It turns out I do need those papers. I'm sorry." said Ashelia

"It's okay. Sebastian already has them here."

"Yes, My Lord." said Sebastian as he handed me the papers ever so gracefully. I reviewed them. Hmm...It appears Mr. Dubois HAS been making transactions with Phantomhive. Now...To see if we're...I gasped. I fingered Niera to come close to me. I showed her the papers. Niera was astounded as much as I was. The dates all came up to once a month transactions with Phantomhive.
