Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji or any characters from Kuroshitsuji. I do own Ivy and Ivy's family.
Author's Note: I realize its going really slow and I'm really sorry but I don't want to cut any chapters out and mixing chapters together doesn't work so well so please forgive me for that. Ivy's past will finally be revealed in detail and the story will move on to being at the Phantomhive Manor in chapter four which will either be posted tomorrow afternoon or sometime Sunday (There is a chance I won't have my computer till then.) and then the pace will begin to pick up. Please Rate and comment. Does anyone even read these notes? :( Oh well I'm going to keep writing them any way.
Sebastian immediately sprang into action. Throwing the female demon across the room and taking a stance in preparation for the imminent fight, but it was already too late. The damage had been done. Ciel felt the hand that had been ruffling his hair just seconds before go limp and slide off his head as the girl it belonged to fell to the ground.
Her hair and skin were being stained red by the rapidly spreading puddle beneath her. Ciel couldn't help but notice that it was the same dark shade of red as her eyes as he watched all remaining signs of life fade from them. He felt as if he'd be sick, but he couldn't bring himself to look away. Everyone else in the room stood still watching the girl as if waiting for her to get up, or at the very least show some sign that she was still breathing. Suddenly the silence was broken with hysteric laughter. "What are you all expecting to happen. She's obviously dead and once you die there's no coming ba-" Sebastian's hands were around the woman's throat before she had a chance to finish.
"Shut up." There was a tone in his voice that shocked both Ciel and Spears.
"What's wrong? Mad that I killed your little girl friend? It's you're fault for falling in love with a hu-" Again her words were cut off by his hand tightening around her throat. By now the sounds of her vertebrae cracking were echoing throughout the room.
"I said shut up." His voice was threatening but she kept a sickening smile plastered to her face. She opened her mouth obviously about to start again but was interrupted by a voice on the other side of the room.
"What's with the atmosphere in here? Who died?" The voice was calm to the point of seeming cold, but it also had a joking manner in it. No one even had to turn around to realize who it was; only to believe it. Sebastian released the woman and moved so quickly to the side of the girl who had suddenly appeared out of no where. The female demon had been so shocked that she momentarily forgot how to speak. That didn't last long though.
"That's not possible. I know for a fact that you were dead. There's no way you could have lived." At that moment everyone except for Spears turned to look quickly at the body on the ground for conformation of her death and then back at her. Then as the initial shock began to fade they noticed something so obvious that they wondered how they had missed it til now. There was something strange about the way she was currently dressed. She no longer wore the black dress as she had before. Her dress was now a dark red color. It only reached to her knees and it looked like it was made from over sized rose petals rather than fabric. Her eyes had grown to look even less caring than before.
Ignoring all of the eyes currently focused on her she turned toward Spears. "I thought you said you'd handle her Glasses. It actually takes a large amount of energy for a plant to grow you know. I believe I'd like to take this into my own hands now. I will handle any extra paperwork caused by my interference." With that she walked over to what looked like just a pot of dirt to everyone else in the room. She plucked a seed from pouch on her side and buried it in the dirt. Suddenly a stem with one leaf on it sprouted. It quickly grew to be taller than Ivy and she grabbed onto it and pulled it from the dirt. She shook it once and it suddenly looked solid and the leaf seemed sharper than any blade Ciel had ever seen.
Before anyone was able to wrap their heads around what was happening she lunged at the female demon and swung the scythe. The distinct sound of flesh being cut was heard once again only this time it wasn't Ivy who fell. Right before their eyes the female demon's head fell off her shoulders and rolled across the floor. Ivy slowly turned her head watching as it rolled across the floor until it hit a wall and stopped. The she turned her attention to the other body still lying on the floor.
She walked over to it and motioned for Ciel, who was still within arms reach of the body, to step back. He quickly did as she instructed; curious as to what she was about to do. She looked into the lifeless eyes staring up at her before making a small "Tch" sound. Without looking away or batting an eye she quickly raised her right foot and brought it down hard right in the middle of the face that matched her own. There was a loud cracking sound as the skull shattered and withing seconds her legs were covered in blood that had splattered out. She took a step back and looked at Ciel who was now giving her a horrified look. "If someone saw that body and then saw me it would certainly raise some questions. Most of which not many would believe the answers to." was her attempt at an explanation. "You wanted to know why I haven't aged right? Well that should have answered your question though I'm sure it also raised quite a few. You never answered mine though. How badly do you wish to know the answers?" She was still calm even after stomping her own head in and Ciel was beginning to believe she wasn't capable of getting emotional about anything.
He managed to find a response he found suitable for her question. "I wish to know as much as you are willing to tell, I suppose." He assumed she accepted the answer since she nodded quietly in response. She turned to look at Sebastian who had gone back to standing behind Ciel at some point.
"You've been awfully quiet Demon. I assume you are curious too. I don't mind telling you, but I believe it would be easier to show you. I must warn you though that once it begins there is no turning back until it's over. Do you wish to see why I went unheard of and what happened that caused me to never fade?" She looked between the two of them waiting for a response and they both nodded. From behind her she heard someone clear their throat. She turned to face the only other person in the room. "Glasses your job here is done. Why have you not gone back to report what has happened yet?"
"I will not condone your spending any more time than necessary with the likes of a demon and his contractor."
"That really is none of your say Spears. I haven't really any reason to go back just yet and I've already agreed to show Demon and Shorty what happened that day. If it is simply about the paperwork I promise I will get that done for you, but for now I'd very much like it if you'd leave." Upon hearing this Spears nodded in response and left almost instantly. Both Sebastian and Ciel took a few seconds trying to understand why; then they realized it. She had called him by his actual name rather than Glasses. They knew her well enough to realize that was a sign that she was getting annoyed with you. She turned to look at the two of them. "Shall we begin?"
