*ACTION!*
Pairings: mystery girl X Ciel X Elizabeth / mystery girl X Alois Trancy (deceased-he died right?)
Part I. Chapter One: Interest
"Exactly… Marjorie Holtwit, Indeed."
It was an average morning and an average day at the Phantomhive Household… As the usual:
1. Breaking/Destruction of expensive tableware and tea sets- Maylene's doing
2. Destroyed garden- Finnie's doing
3. Exploding kitchen- Bard's doing [Me: Exploding kitchen, huh? XD]
It was a mess, completely a mess. [Me: Duh! Of course it's a mess! I am definitely making fun of my own work using side comments! XD *laughs at myself*]
The Young Master was still asleep when someone knocked on his bedroom door.
The door slowly opened as a tall, attractive man, wearing black came in. He brought a tray of tea for the master.
"Master, it's time to wake up now," the man who came in, who appeared to be a butler said as he placed the tray on the table beside his sleeping Master's bed.
"The sun is shining brightly, sire. After all, you have a heavy schedule today," the butler said as he opened the curtains for the sun to shine on his still asleep master.
Ciel (Young Master) slowly awakens and asks his butler, "What day is it today, Sebastain?" he mumbled sleepily. *rubbing his eyes* [Me: Imagine Ciel doing that! (rubbing his eyes thing) Isn't he just the cutest? XD]
"Sunday, sir," Sebastian replied. "Your tea is on the table," he continued.
"This aroma… Ceylon tea*1, I presume?" Ciel said sitting up taking his tea.
"Yes, definitely"
"What's for breakfast?" Ciel asks
"Oh, yes, breakfast of poached salmon and mint salad*1 has been prepared for you. There are also side dishes of toast, scones, and campagne*1. Which one would you like?" Sebastian replies fixing his master's clothing
"The scones… I want the scones," his master replies
"Understood… Shall we head downstairs?"The butler asked placing his hand on his chest. He had that distinct grin on his face as he and his master went out of the room. [Me: Such a creepy but of course handsome person! XD]
There were four figures waiting to greet them in the main hall. This was where a long elegant stairwell stretched down to a dashing ballroom dance floor with classic chandeliers hanging from above. Anyway, the first of the four was a clumsy fuchsia pink-haired maid with ill-fitting eye glasses, the second was a stupid blonde gardener who never fails to destroy the garden, third was a destructive chef who couldn't cook anything and last but not the least was an old weird house steward. They all had their biggest, toothiest smiles as their teen-age master and his butler came down the stairway.
"Good morning, Master!" they four greeted
"Morning…" their master said emotionless
"Master, would you mind waiting at the dining table? Breakfast will be served shortly," Sebastian said giving a demonic glare at the three clumsy staff (3 meaning except for the house steward- He is innocent. XD) seeing as they have caused catastrophe enough. As~ usual… -_-
"Kyaaa! So scary!" the maid and the gardener shrieked.
"Stop being children!" the chef screamed trying to keep his cool in front of Sebastian but failed hopelessly falling to his knees. [Me: Such a weakling… he got knocked out! K.O.! Sebastian's glare wins against the chef's so called cool! XD]
"Ho… ho… ho…" [Me: you know who that is! The infamous Tanaka! XD]
At the dining place…
"What are all my appointments for today, Sebastian?" Ciel asked taking a bite from his food. [Me: his breakfast must be real yummy, huh? XD]
"Hrmm? Well, before that, I have something you would be interested in, sir," the butler replied handing the newspaper to his master.
"What's this?" Ciel asked annoyed
"Page 5, sir," Sebastian said
Ciel read the content in the said page until he came to a completely shocked state.
"WHAT?" he screamed. "IMPOSSIBLE!"
"How on earth could this person- err, Marjorie Holtwit solve a case two hours after the crime took place?" 'Huh? Marjorie Holtwit? I haven't heard of her. Who is she?' many questions popped in Ciel's mind.
"Exactly… Marjorie Holtwit*2, indeed," Sebastian said grinning
"Well, on my opinion, it's rather impressive and INHUMAN," Ciel declared. "Do you know this Marjorie Holtwit, Sebastian?"
"I'm afraid I don't, master. But it says here in the newspaper that she is a teen-age girl around 16 or 17 years of age having long silk brown hair covering her left eye.—Oh, she has bright blue eyes and speaks in a serious manner," Sebastian answers reading the newspaper in his hand.
'A teenager? ' Ciel thought. 'I expected her to be older… and to think she accomplished something like that… amazing'
"Oh, listen to this, Master. It seems that she has chosen her next crime to solve," Sebastian continued
"What is it?" Ciel asked attentively
"The kidnapping and murdering of young heirs and heiresses… It was said that their bodies were found shaved of their hair and internal organs removed."
"I see… The case that was left unsolved for three weeks now… Even we have forgotten about it. We already have suspects don't we?" Ciel asks
"According to my findings, there is one individual who matches the description of the crime perfectly. She used to be a famous hairdresser of rich families during their special occasions when she was forced to study medicine. I do not know the reasons for this but she seems to have a huge grudge on the particular who have been murdered…"Sebastian explains emphasizing the italicized words.
*Ciel raises an eyebrow as Sebastian continues with an intense look*
"Diana, Diana Ferver… yes… SHE is the criminal mastermind,"
"I see… Then, what will we do about it?" Ciel asked pausing for a moment
"She is… at the moment… arranging a ball at her mansion to celebrate her victory in her career… tonight…" Sebastian answered with a smirk shown on his face
'Victory? Humph, maybe her LOSS' Ciel thought cruelly. Then, he spoke "Cancel all my appointments for today would you, Sebastian?"
"Of course, Master. Understood," the butler said placing his hand on his chest raising a brow at his very serious Master. "I must say, I never expected you to actually be interested in this, sir. Is it just me or are you actually doing this bothersome case just to meet HER?" Sebastian teased
*Ciel turns to his butler in complete shock hearing his words then he gulped pride and spoke seriously*
"I just want to know WHO she EXACTLY is…and you know what? I REALLY WANT to SOLVE that CASE," Ciel insisted
"I understand… Well, I will go and make the necessary preparations, sire," Sebastian said as he was about to leave
"Sebastian!" The butler stops upon being called
"What is it, Master?" he asks as he slowly faces the teenager behind him
"Are you sure that Madam Ferver is the kidnapper and killer?"
"Most probably, sire…"
"Alright, you may leave my sight and go prepare…" Ciel said waving his hand as if saying 'shoo shoo'
"Yes… My Lord…" the butler grinned as he walked away
Ara: Kyaaahh! I'm so happy I was finally able to type it! But completely am crazy enough to put side comments most of the time… I'll tell you the truth! I put them so that it would take me a long time to finish and my sister won't be able to use the computer! HAHAHA! I'm so mean… I KNOW THAT! XD
[*1: Ceylon tea, poached salmon, mint salad, toast, scones, and campagne all the food… I just got them from the first chapter of the manga! It's too bothersome if I still search for food from England! Just too bothersome! *2: Marjorie Holtwit's TRUE IDENTITY will be shown soon! Just wait!]
Ciel:tch… * as if saying I don't like you*
Sebastian: Well, anyway up next:
PART 1: CHAPTER 2: Boy meets Girl
