Chapter 2: His Butler, Surprised
But how is this possible?! It's a manga for goodness' sake! It's a fictional world! A mere fantasy created by someone who wanted to do an original series. So how is it that… I'm a part of it? In Ciel's body, no less.
I think over last night's events but nothing seems out of the ordinary.
I don't understand how this can happen. I mean, last night was just a typical Sunday evening. I read books, listened to music, made the last minute preparations for school today and went to bed at around 8:30. That was all I did yesterday evening!
As I think things over, Sebastian continues to stand there patiently waiting for me to say something. I finally say, "Leave the room. I'll dress myself."
Sebastian remains speechless and dumbfounded as he exits the room. When the door closes behind him, I undress myself and wonder why Sebastian hasn't notice the soul change. Funny how Sebastian hasn't notice, considering what he is and all… I put on the clothes Sebastian brought and see if they're on right. Yup they are. Just need to tie this ribbon around my neck. It didn't take long to get dress. A mere five minutes at most.
I step out of the room fully dressed and ready for the day. Sebastian stayed outside against the wall. "Young lord, you forgot one important article of clothing."
Eh?
He then ties the black eye patch around my right eye.
Oh, so that's what he meant.
It's amazing Ciel can see with only one eye. I try walking down the stairs to the dining room but I almost broke my ankle doing so. Heh… he makes it look so easy!
I manage to manage to get down the stairs without injuring myself and make my way to the dining room. I sit down at the end waiting for Sebastian to serve me breakfast.
I head straight to my-I mean Ciel's- office to get his paperwork done.
Might as well, since I'm in his body.
I walk over to the desk and sit down where Ciel would normally sit and got to work.
I start with the financial report from the main branch in London. I stare at the report intensely, trying to make sense of it. Hmm…hmm… I continue to stare the report, trying to understand it but no luck. I throw the report down on the desk in frustration. Gah! I don't understand a word this report says! How does he do it! It might as well be written in Chinese!
I decide to ring in Sebastian to see if he would help me with this report, but it was only after I rang the bell for the kitchen did I realize he would know something was up. Holy shit. Why did I do that? He'll know I'm not really Ciel!
I hear footsteps outside in the hallway, approaching the door.
!
Okay, calm down. Now I just need to think of an excuse quickly.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Quickly!
When Sebastian opens the door, he asks, "Young master, do you need something?"
"Uh… I want something sweet, like a parfait."
"No, young master, you'll spoil your appetite for dinner."
Phew. He bought it.
"I don't care," I tell him, "just make it."
"No, young master," Sebastian tells me again.
"Fine whatever. Go back to your work, I'm busy," I said.
"As you wish, my young lord." Sebastian leaves the room.
"Ugh. How am I suppose to do this?" I pick the papers again, continue staring at it hoping it would magically make sense (no luck),so I put them back on the desk, deciding to do it later.
Now, onto more important matters. I lay back on the chair, deciding to ponder on my situation at hand. Well, now that I think about it, I remember everything about my life over where I belong but I can't seem to remember my own name. And if my soul is here, then, where is Ciel's?
I continue to think about it but after a while my head started to hurt and I felt kind of dizzy. The next I know, I'm slumped on the desk unconscious.
