Once the two had arrived at the manor Jacob greeted Lady and Lord Dominic before immediately taking his young miss upstairs to her room. Once there he released her hand and sighed,"Leila Marie." The child looked up at him, her big purple eyes shinning,"...y-yes Jacob..?" "You know I disapprove of corporal punishment, although with your actions today a few good swats wouldn't do you any harm. Now, as your guardian and caretaker I must see to it that you are punished correctly." He rolled up a sleeve and took a seat on her bed,"Now. Please do come here." Leila gaped, not sure if he was serious or joking. "N-no Jacob..no!" He sighed and walked over to her,"Leila. When an adult tells you to do something you do it. You do not argue." "...b-but.." She began as she was lead back over to her bed. "This will hurt and you won't like it, but even our little princess needs correction and punishment. Understand?" "...but.." Jacob wasted no time and laid the child across his lap, flipping up her dress so that her undergarments were on display. "I apologize my young miss." with that he raised a hand and let it fall.
The loud swat rang out through out the large room, as did a small cry from the blonde, curly haired girl. "First off, you disobeyed me." He swatted her bottom again. "mm!" "Second, you argue." Jacob rewarded her with several more swats, turning her tiny bottom a dark pink. As it was very clear he wasn't giving just simple love taps but stinging, throbbing, swats. "Thirdly you run off to play." he applied harder swats to her sitspots making the child wail and kick. "O-ow! Jacob!" She whined. "Fourthly you run infront of a carriage. You know much better than this my lady." He continued spanking the young girl,"You and I both know this fact." "S-sorry!" "I am pleased to hear this." Jacob smiled softly but didn't stop spanking his young miss. "I want you to never do such a stupid thing again. Am I understood young lady?" "y-yes Jacob!" "Again I apologize Leila. It is not often you are in need of such correction. But, your actions today were truely reckless and ignorant. If such actions happen again then I shall take you over my knee no matter where we are." The child sniffled as she was sat up,"Y-yes s-sir.." "good. Now, stop crying the worst is over. Dry your eyes my little angel." He reached for his hankerchiff and wiped the weeping girl's eyes and nose. "gonna tell mommy and daddy?" Leila leaned into her butler's shoulder. "Not this time, I believe you have had enough lecturing today." Jacob smiled as he stroked her soft, blonde hair. She smiled softly and yawned,"My. Is the young miss tired already?" "...no.." "I believe so." "nooo" Leila whined as she was laid down in her bed and tucked in. "Good night miss." Jacob smiled.
"Oh honestly I never did that. Ciel is the one who enjoys running in front of carriages." I blushed at the thought of being over the tall man's knees. "As did you. If I remember correctly I did end up having to punish you while we were visi-" "T-that's alright Sebastian. I needn't know anymore." "There is no need to be embarrassed my little angel. You were a child. Every child needs dicipline. No matter what the social rank." He smirked at me. "Oh be silent. It's not like I ever called you a whore.." I frowned, still in shock that my own cousin had called me such a name. "Do not fret over that matter Youn- well. My lady, he is just speaking from anger and fear." "Fear?" "Yes, fear that you might switch him. Not that the young master doesn't need a good switching once in a while." I simply looked at the man,"He needs more than one every once in a while. He has grown to be rather troublesome and rude." "I agree." "Then why haven't you raised a hand to him?" Sebastian smirked," I have yet to recieve an order from the young master." I nodded," And I suspect he would never willingly ask you to spank him." "Would you?" "Indeed not." "Then there is your answer my lady." I sighed and then nodded,"should I at least go talk to him?" "If you wish to." Sebastian responded as he began cleaning. "It would help" I nodded,"Very well I shall go and have a talk with him.." With that I sighed and began upstairs, I walked until I came to his room. I by now was fully dressed.
"Ciel.." I knocked on the large, oak door. "..what?" He mumbled, his voice faint from the otherside. "We need to have a chat..May I come in?" "No..Stay away from me.." I frowned,"Oh come now. What's all this hostile anger?" "Go. Away" He said more sternly. "Not until we talk." "Well then you're going to be standing there for an awful while." I sighed,"Fine then, If you refuse to talk then just listen." "..." "I know you're angry and upset with my actions..I understand that, I would have been too..but, we both are in the wrong here." There was not response. "Do you have any idea what a whore is?" "yes..I'm not a child Leila.." "Your actions could have fooled me." "..." "Tantrums, yelling, pranks.." "Is it wrong for me to act my age? You are always telling me to do so.. I have a right." "A right to act like a baby, a right to call me a whore?" "Your point?" He smirked behind the door. I sighed," A whore, meaning A prostitute, A person considered sexually promiscuous, A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain." I glared slightly at the door,"Do any of these apply to me?" "...and if I said yes?" "Then you are a Troublesome, Negative, Irresponsible Brat, Ciel." "You think such pety words would affect me? Honestly..How immature." I sighed and rested my head in my hand,"No. I don't expect them to affect you. However I do expect you to at least be respectful and not crude like you have been." "And why does it matter to you, Ms. Dominic." He remarked sarcastically. "Don't you ever call me by that name." I glared, remembering the years of abuse and torture that damned name had brought me. "Or what? You'll punish me. Beat me black and blue?" "I need not put up with this... If you knew what hell that name was..oh just forget it." I made a fist. "Already forgotten." "...I can honestly say your parents would not approve of this new found behavior, Young Master." The last part was spoken as if it was acid. There was a small sound of fabric pressing agaisnt skin and a small whine. "...We're all the family we have left Ciel..I'm only trying to keep you alive and healthy.." I frowned, knowing I had crossed a line I shouldn't have. "Just...just go away.." "If that is what you wish, I can be gone by morning." "Don't leave the manor you Idiot, I wish to be left to myself..alone." "What is the use of being in such a place if I am not needed nor wanted?" I questioned him. "...You are not needed...but...you are wanted." There was a sniffle. I looked to my feet then back to the door,"Viennent ici un peu." "..non..." "..s'il vous plaƮt?" "..noo.. just leave me alone." My cousin voice began cracking, growing weak. "..You can come out on your own or I'll come in by myself.." I spoke as softly as I could. He sighed,"...the door is unlocked...it has been this whole time.." "Very well then." I opened the door and walked in. He would be underneath his covers in one of his father's shirts, eyepatch off, pillows close to his tiny frame. "Ciel.." I sat next to the blanket covered child. He scooted closer, feeling my warmth."what..?" His voice was close to a whimber. "..Come on out..please?" The raven haired boy shook his head,"...no.. I don't want to." "Then move over, I'm coming under." He tucked the sheets under his body,"No..I don't want you to.." I frowned and rubbed his back. "...I don't want someone to see me in the pathic state.." "Ciel.. I'm your cousin..I don't mind it... I just wish to help.." "But you can't help..it's my fault.." "Your..Your fault?" "..my parents are really...ashamed of me...are they?" the last part of his words grew higher and more strained. "No, oh no.. No Ciel.. They aren't and I never should have said such horried things to you." I kept rubbing his back, regretting the whole day. "Leila?...Can you do something for me?...Please?" "Of course." "Can you.. get under the covers with me?...and..cuddle with me?" I smiled slighty, it wasn't hard to tell just how embarrased he was of such a childish request. "Of course Ci-ci." I gently got under the covers and laid next to my little cousin. He snuggled into me, craving the warmth I gave,"...Leila... I'm sorry.." "No, it's alright..I'm the one who should be sorry." I shushed him. "No..it's my fault, I pulled all of those pranks.." "It's alright..I did the same when I was your age..Of course our Aunt wasn't too thrilled." "heh" He let out a tiny giggle,"Yes..she most likely wasn't." I smiled and held him close,"Did I ever tell you of the time I decided to changed her face powder with garlic powder?" He shook his head,"No..Can you tell me about it?" "Of course, well.. I had gotten upset with her for dragging me to yet, another party I had no interest in going to. I remember she had gotten me up at five to get ready, and let me tell you, you have never seen so much lace on a single dress nor that much make up planned out." Ciel giggled,"Really?" "Yes really, So I suppose I had, had enough..and well, exchanged her makeup with garlic powder." He laughed a little more," That's funny..You probably got into a lot of trouble, huh Leila?"
I nodded," I've never seen aunty so mad in her whole life." "She was probably really mad, so did you get into big trouble with her?" "Yes, very, very much." "haha" He laughed and snuggled closer. "Now, don't you get any ideas little earl, understood?" I smiled and kissed his head. "Yes ma'am" The child responded playfully. "Good, because if you did I'd hang you by your ears from the ceiling." I grinned and tickled him. He giggled,"no!" "Oh yes I would, right up there." I pointed up. "That would hurt!" "Then don't do what I did as a child." "Yes ma'am" I smiled and smoothed down his hair. Ciel snuggled closer,"Leila...I'm cold." "Well, yes I suppose so..You are only wearing a shirt." "And underwear" "I'd hope so." "I am, don't worry." "...Ciel, are you wearing your daddy's shirt?" "uh..no.." He blushed. "It's alright if you are, I was just simply wondering." Ciel curled up, holding his shirt,"I just...it's comforting...safe.." "I know.. I know.." I sighed and rubbed his back,"It's alright to think so." "...I miss them Leila... I really miss them.." "I miss them too...You do understand they loved you very much..correct?" He nodded slowly," Yeah.." "And I'm sure they miss you very much as well.." "You think so?" "I know so..you were their everything." "...mommy use to tell me that all the time.." "It's true, and know you're my everything." He looked up at me in disbelief,"Really?" "Yes really.. You mean everything to me." He smiled then cuddled closer," I love you Leila.." "I love you too Ciel." Not too long after that the child began yawning, still cuddling close. "Go ahead and sleep." "..mmn.." He wiped his eyes,"But, I want you to stay.." "I will..just go ahead and rest." "But, I want you to stay.." "I will." Ciel yawned and snuggled,falling asleep within a matter of minutes. "Sleep tight little one."
