I do not own anything.

I'm sorry if the character are OOC. I really don't know what is happening, idk what they are like anymore…

Btw, I never watched the 2nd season of kuro…so I esp, don't know about Alois character personality.

Oz and company.

"Oz, what is that?" Alice asked as she pointed at a lit candle from a distance.

"It's probably nothing" Gilbert said.

"Yes, perhaps, but we should still check it out, do not leave a rock unturned." Oz marched towards the candle in glee that didn't seem to fit in, in the dark gloomy town. There was this cold chill that hang over them.

"Wh…" Gibert was lost in words. There under the lit candle was a piece of yellow parchment. Oz bent down to pick the paper he removed the candle, there was some wax on the paper.

"It looks like its ripped from a notebook." Oz examined, "Suppose we have to read this along with our companions…" A crow caws. "Alice hold the candle, we need the light" The nearest street light was behind then and rather far, they couldn't risk it, the silence was suspicious. Silently they agreed that if anything happens to them, whoever escapes should inform their allies. They surrounded the paper.

In legible perfectly stroked hand writing it said: The things that happened tonight is highly questionable, there are secrets everywhere. This town is doomed. They hav-.

"The last part is ripped." Oz looked around "Someone must have left this. We should go and inform Ciel and Alois." They began to retrace their steps, the same bird made its presence known.

"I don't get it though, what will they achieve by giving us that?" Alice said with a sigh eyeing the paper in Oz hands.

Suddenly a loud explosion enveloped the silence; sudden light illuminated the town like daylight. And then it was gone. The three started running towards the explosion. It was nearby, it was a small town after all. And yet no one came out, it was like there was no one else other than them in town.

Ciel was on his hands and knees, to his left a building in flames. He coughed.

"Help him Gilbert!" Oz commanded "Where is Sebastian?"

"Inside, trying to fin-"

"Ciel!" Alois came running from another direction. "Wha-"

Another explosion this time merely an echo, it must have been far or maybe it was a gun fire. Alice's eyes were looking around them trying to find something amiss. From the corner of her eyes she saw something on the roof of a building; she whipped her head focusing there, nothing. Alice continues to keep her eyes on the darkness.

Ciel was up, a little disorientated. Sebastian walks out of the burning building unscathed.

"Were you able to save anything?"Ciel asked, Sebastian shook his head, Ciel grunted in anger.

"Were people inside?" Oz asked.

"Oddly enough, it's empty," Sebastian replied, as he took his master in his arms, he took note of the lack of people out.

"No one came out from their homes. No one is fazed by the explosion and the sudden light." Oz muttered.

"Well that is peculiar" Alois said, looking at the building.

"The next explosion seemed to have come from there" They all locked at where Oz and company came from.

"Here, a note" Oz passed the note to Ciel, and Alois went closer to him to read the note too. Oz's eyes were stuck from where they came from.

"Where did you get this?" Alois asked

"From over there" Oz waved. Gilbert was already on high alert around this time.

"They hav- what." Ciel wondered.

Another explosion, barely audible but with the silence it was heard.

"We need to get there."

"There is no hope here" And they all ran.

A few minutes ago with Ciel

"Sebastian, what is that?" Ciel asked. Sebastian turned to his master and instantly was in front of him ready to block butter knives aimed in a close proximity to the pair. But it missed, by a long shot.

"Lead them there" A figure says, hidden in darkness on top of a well vantage point on the roof of a building.

"Of course, mi'lady"

Then the butter knives came from every direction, its hilt engraved with golden patterns. Although they seem to come from every direction they missed their targets, or so the prey thought.

"Find-" Ciel was almost hit by a butter knife. A note slipped off the hold of the knife it falls glides closer to Ciel.

Follow, it says.

"And why should we follow this note, it might be a trap" Ciel waved the instruction

"Or it could be a clue, a secret benefactor." Sebastian states

"We have no need for secret benefactors, we can deal with this without one, we have before"

"Master, let us see where this leads at least…it might be useful"

"And if it's a trap?" Ciel snapped

"You have a demon as a butler, I would worry about traps when you're in that situation" replies his butler, Ciel sighs and nods.

"Well I hope this is a clue for your sake, Sebastian"

Then the knives continued to throw, leading them to a rather big manor in town. This time a dart swooshed passed them and hit the golden doorknob in the center like it was butter, and then exploded.

"Sebastian" Ciel says angrily. Nothing came to attack them as Sebastian readied his battle stance, another knife comes swooshing, opening the door wide for them.

"Well, I suppose that is our cue," Ciel walks pass the door.

They reached what seemed to be the study of the owner, and there were so many papers scattered here and there. Bits and pieces of a plan, that was yet to be realized. On top of everything in legible hand writing it says:

If you came in late, that does not concern me, but please do not get killed.

Boom detonates at exactly 20 hundreds.

Safety precautions must be met.

Ciel hurriedly checks his pocket watch 15 minutes till 9.

"Sebastian!" Ciel ordered, and then they both ran out of the building as fast as they could. Once they were out of the building it exploded. Ciel went flying but Sebastian caught him.

"It's early," Ciel coughed.

"Different time, perhaps" Sebastian suggested. CIel coughed

"Try to salvage anything, anything!" Ciel ordered, yet he knew nothing could be saved, those papers were clues, perhaps answers, if he only got there earlier. But what if that was the plan. The note must have been left there, meaning the person who detonated the building was close. Or someone was inside the building with them when they arrived, who had enough time to leave a note like that, and plant the bomb.

Ciel tried to think of the most possible solution, but his head ached, he fell to his knees.

In the same spot the figure stood, the flames of the burning building for a quick second illuminated the figure. It was the lady, hooded, masked, and wearing black.

"That will alert them, hopefully nothing will come out of hand." She muttered to herself

"Mi'lady" the butler man came out of nowhere, kneeling behind her. "Having you foresee this makes me feel as though I am incapable of this mi'lady, I know the plan"

"Yes, I know you do." She replies her eyes stuck on a certain blur haired boy. "But worry not, this is all I will foresee, tonight, I shall make our presence known. In one way or another."

"Mi'lady, there is disruption in the area now." He looked at the roof across from them, shadows were moving.

"It's merely time to lead our rats towards the prize" She turned towards her butler, who was standing now. "Proceed as planned"

Oz and company's footsteps echoed as they ran towards Ciel, the lady and her butler had disappeared.

Present

"So, were being played" Alois says as they all ran towards were the other explosions seemed to have come from.

"Suppose so," Ciel says. Alice suddenly stops, and the shielded Oz, with this Gilbert does the same, except covering Oz's other side, Alice-free. A bullet misses Ciel by a few inches.

The butlers take their place beside their masters. An all-out battle was happening before them, more or less, however unseen.

"I don't think we matter in this fight." Ciel finally said after a whole minute pass that they weren't deliberately attacked

"Well, I am insulted" Alois remarks.

The lady appears before them, hooded. Alice, Gilbert, Sebastian and Claude (slightly uninterested this whole-time) were ready to attack.

"Well, I'm not the enemy, but if you lot want to figure out what's happening here, you better follow or take hold of one of the critters out and about." She gestures at the surrounding.

"How do we know you're not the critter?" Alice asks, just in time a hooded man fell from the sky, to fight the lady. She fights back with knives, she won.

"Well, I went through all the trouble of fazing their little group." She said as she approached the dead body.

"So you were the one who led us to the manor" Ciel says in which she ignores

"I believe Oz Vessalius, these people are followers of the house of Baskervilles" Upon hearing this come from her lips Oz and his companions made a face. "I am aware you are familiar of these band of people" She unhood the man and the took a knife from under her cloak then slit his throat. "You all must understand the necessity of making sure his dead, yes?"

"Yes" Oz replied heartlessly.

"But it seems your company is not aware of the Baskervilles" She eyes Ciel and Alois, although her eyes could not be seen. "I've talked too much, I must help my comrade." And then she vanished. Bodies started falling from the sky.

"Oz!" Alice said as she tried to participate in the fight, jumping up.

"Gilbert help Alice!" Oz commanded and so he did hesitantly. This was their fight more than Alois and Ciel.

"Sebastian, I want you to find that girl, we need answers!" Ciel ordered. Alios was torn, how was he to help, with a loud sigh he orders Claude.

"Claude, help Alice and Gilbert, dispose of these men—no get as much as you can from them." And then Claude was gone.

Then Smoke suddenly came from nowhere and then the enemies, labeled as followers of the house Baskervilles, by the strangers, were gone.

"The young ones are wise not to inhale" A voice says.

The lady who had told them who their enemies supposedly were was jumping off roofs. And Sebastian hot on her trail, she was slightly more than irritated.

"Leave me alone, if you know what is best for you!" She yelled.

"I have an order, milady." She tsked upon hearing this, and then threw a knife a few meters in front og Sebastian who was on her left, she had hit an enemy.

"Thank you, However I could have taken care of it myself" He says

"I know"

"This doesn't change the fact that I have to capture you, lady"

"I know." She shrugs and then slides off the building she was on, and into the darkness, he follows. But gets attacked by the man who is her butler.

"I apologize, but my mistress has secrets that cannot be revealed yet." He wore a black laced mask.

"Step aside" Sebastian's eyes glows red.

"I am not afraid of you" He indeed seemed unshaken, "Things will be revealed in time"

"Sebastian!" Ciel's voice cuts though the silent night, those people fought quietly, once they all thought of it.

"Your master calls, you must tend to him, as it is our job" He bows slightly towards Sebastian "Till next time, Cat."

Sebastian comes back to his master, slightly irritated at his master.

"What is it." He asked as he slowly approached. They were surrounded by the corpses. Wait, what.

"Cut the strings, they are being manipulated!" Oz commanded Alice, who now had a scythe, but it seemed as though every time she cuts a string (barely recognizable) it just strengthens the strings.

"We need to find the chain and its master!" Oz says looking around their surrounding frantically. Claude and Alice continued cutting.

"Maybe if we can cut everything at the-"

The clouds cleared themselves away from the moon, a glass bottle was thrown high above them. Its content glistens under the moonlight. A blade comes crashing on the glass, it shatters. The liquid rains on all of them, and then the strings, like magic disappeared. It was closing in on them, like web, but unlike web a small touch on the fine silver line could cut them to pieces. And now it was just gone.

On the roof was the hooded figure, they saw, and it was undecided whether she was an enemy or a secret benefactor. But for now she was an ally, more or less.

Yea no, I'm too tired.

Been writing this for 3 days, and finally finished it after sooooooo long.

Yay.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, and that people are like OOC. I know they are.
