Everything was silent…which was very strange. I hadn't heard a single peep from my cousin or Grell. Come to think of it..it had been several hours..This was posing a huge, troublesome idea swelling in my head. Just what could be going on? Right then my question was answered with a loud clank and a scream. I rushed to the scene, only to find Grell covered in blue paint and sulking in the corner with Ciel crying from laughing so hard.
I sighed, "What's going on here?"
"Ciel dumped blue paint on me!" Grell whimpered.
"Ciel Reeves Phantomhive." I narrowed my eyes.
"What? It was funny!"
"It won't be when I kill you Brat!" Grell yelled.
"Leila!" Ciel cried running behind me with the red head right at his heels.
"Boys! Stop it right now!" I raised my voice, leaving the two stunned. "Now enough is enough Ciel. No more pranking. It's rude and absolutely horrid."
"But Lei-" My raven haired cousin started to argue.
"No buts Ciel. You will do as your told."
"No!"
"No?"
"Yes! NO!" He pouted, "I can do whatever I want!" He glared, stressing the I.
"Excuse me Youngman?"
"You heard me!" Ciel glared. I raised my eyebrow. Honestly..now he's not only being a jerk, now he was being a brat.
"Grell, run along."
"Yes ma'am." Grell ran off.
"Ciel."
"No Leila!"
"Ciel will you just li-"
"No!"
"Ciel Ree-"
"NOO!" He screamed.
"Alright that's it. I've had it." I sighed taking his hand and swatting his bottom.
"Ow!" He whimpered as I began to lead him up the stairs to his room. He kicked, punched and slapped at me.
"Honestly Ciel. Enough." He whimpered and scratched at me. I gaped and glared at him, this kid wad really starting to annoy the tea out of me.
"Will you stop it!" I half yelled pulling him into his room and shutting the door behind us. "Non Désolé! Leila!" (This means 'No sorry leila') I sighed. " Ciel. Shhh, be silent and listen." I sat down and pulled my small, young cousin over to me. He tensed and dug his feet into the ground, "Leila! Désolé!" He cried out. I frowned, well at least he was practicing his French. "Ciel stop it. Just listen to me for a second." I said lifting him and resting him on my lap. "No!" He whimpered, tears gathering in his eyes. He really needed to stop having such tantrums every time he was taken to his room.
"Ciel. Hush."
"But-!"
"Look, I'm just trying to talk to you."
"…" He sniffled.
"No more pranking. Alright? And I want for you to tell Grell as well."
"But Lei-!"
"No buts Ciel. I mean it. No more pranks. Got?"
"Yes ma'am.."
"Good, now run along."
He pouted but never the less did as he was told. I frowned and stood, just why was it so hard for everyone in this house not to do something stupid? It seemed as if every time I turned my back someone was in trouble or soon to be. And come to think of it I was more than just a little ticked off with the situation. I couldn't study my work without hearing Sebastian yelling at Grell or coming to get me to handle Ci-ci.
I sighed and left the room, reviewing my basic phrases as I entered the kitchen.
SPLASH!
I stood completely still, stunned…there I was standing in the doorway , dripping wet. "SEBASTIAN!" I yelped. Less than three seconds after I yelled I heard the clicking of the tall, dark haired man's shoes. "Yes Lei- Oh my.." He sighed, "What happened?" I frowned "I don't know..I was just walking to come into the kitchen and Splash.."
"No harm done."
"W-what?" I gaped at the man.
"No harm done." He repeated.
"No harm done? I'm wearing a white dress!" I yelled.
"Lower your tone and voice young lady."
"..yes sir." I growled.
Those three…I pushed by Sebastian and made my way to the bathroom. Once inside I took a towel and began to dry off my face. To which felt strange..I raised my head and looked in the mirror. "I-I.."I was shocked, my face had turned black. I sighed angrily and decided to take a shower, then I proceeded to step in and clean myself off.
The water was warm and soothing to the touch. That is until a certain raven haired boy slowly creeped in and flushed the toilet. The water then very quickly changed it's temperature from delightful to horrid. I screamed and stumbled out, I looked around the room for the source of my torture. My eyes rested on my 'dear, sweet, wonderful' baby cousin. I narrowed my eyes and walked over to him, covered up in a towel.
"Ciel Reeves Phantomhive!"
"Ehehehe…Hi Leila."
"Hello." I crossed my arms.
"…It was Grell!"
"It was you both. Upstairs now." I glared.
"But!" He began to argue but was cut off with a sharp swat to his rear. The child yelped and look at me with resentful eyes,"You whore!" "Now hold on just a second little earl." I placed my hands on my hips, shocked that such words could come from someone so young and small. "…what." Ciel looked up, a few tears in his eyes. "You will not use such fowl language. It is not proper for an earl nor a child to speak this way. Now you march straight up to your room." The child gulped slightly, "b-but Leil-" "Go right this instant or I will take you into town and spanking you in front of all the Royals." "…mm!" He whined and ran off. I sighed and looked behind me, knowing who would be there.
"Leila.." I groaned slightly and turned around, "Yes..?"
