Here is the fourth chapter of 'One Hell of a Fan-Girl". I meant to update this before my Hetalia one, but I really wanted to do the scene in Hetalia that I was had been leading up to… Which is the Lemon scene!
Guess what guys! I have the rights to Black- *a crow comes out of nowhere and takes the rights to Black Butler away*... Nevermind, I don't own Black Butler.
I sighed while looking down at the B-MR-F trio. Bard was currently looking at a wire under the floorboards or something while the other two sat around him. Knowing what was about to go down, I quickly moved to the side with ease.
"Bloody hell, it's done for." Looking down at my red dress in honor of Madam Red and Grell, I picked it up slightly just to check if there was a mouse hiding under it. That would be horrible… Sighing in relief that their wasn't, I tuned back into the conversation.
"-but I sure didn't expect them this far out of the city…" Rats can be anywhere, Bard. Trust me, I learned the hard way. It's a long story, but it includes Will, a ten foot fridge, and a lady with a five o'clock shadow… As I remembered those good times, a cute little mouse dashed across the floor, right in front of the trio. I looked over at their gasps of surprise.
Finny ran towards the statue head before grabbing it, making me quickly head over to the room where Ciel told me to make my entrance at. The last things I heard before I burst in a cool as I could were 'Found you, rat!' and then a crash. I turned to find the room's occupants staring at me with raised eyebrows. Blushing slightly, I waved at them before sitting at the ledge of Ciel's chair.
"Sorry for the interruption. This is my long lost cousin, Michelle Phantomhive. I recently found out she was related to me when I took a hospital trip. Sorry I did not tell you, Madam Red." I looked over to see the beautiful woman covered in red. Smiling sadly, I decided that I would try to save her life as best as I could… Maybe while making Grell my snuggle buddy…
"There's another one!"
"Don't let them get away!"
The tall man in the mustache spoke up at these words with his head slightly tilted. "Quite the commotion out there. Seems like you have rats here as well." He walked off slowly being replaced by… Ugh! I hate that guy!
The next one to speak was the man I called 'Hitler'... What? He had the mustache! "How long do you intend to let those vermin run wild?" The way he said that with his disgusted look made me think he wasn't talking about the rats…
"They forage through our pantries and do nothing but spread disease." I still don't think he's talking about the rats…
"'Run wild'? Isn't he simply leaving them at large to observe them?" I had completely forgotten about Lau! Turning to look at my one of my favorite characters (Okay, maybe I like a lot of the Black Butler people), I couldn't help but remember what happens in the anime. Biting my lip, I looked at Lau sadly.
"Yes, he always seems to settle things with one blow." Looking over at Madam Red, I smiled at her making her wink at me slightly. Yep, I love Madam Red! "Will you pass on this turn too, Lord Phantomhive?"
"Pass. It's not my policy to hit balls I can't sink." I stifled my giggles at his sentence. Man, that line always made me wonder what kind of balls he would sink… I'm perverted.
"Nevermind the pompous talk." Was I the only one who that found Ciel's line perverted? "When will you exterminate the vermin?" Why the hell does he have to exterminate the vermin? And why the hell do you care? Oh wait… I'm an idiot!
Anytime you like." Aw, you don't have to do that Ciel. 'Rats' are easily taken care of if you know how to handle them. "The forbidden cheese with its rat bites…" I never liked that line. "The key to the storehouse is in my hands." Was it a metaphor for something?
The blonde man's shot made the white ball fall into a hole… That sounded wrong too… "However, it will require a certain amount of effort to find the rat's nest and exterminate them." Yo, blondie! He ain't talking about the real rats, my man. "What say you prepare a suitable reward?"
"You vulture."
"Sir Arthur, do you have the right to insult my family crest?" Oh… I forgot that was his name. I'm more of a fan of Abberline.
"Heh, foul. Mucked that one up." He just interrupted that interesting conversation! Now I hate the blonde dude even more. "What will you do, Lord Phantomhive?"
"Me? I'm not going to do anything. Michelle, will you end this worthless game?" I jumped while looking down at Ciel. That wasn't his line. Opening my mouth to decline, I was interrupted by the blond man.
"Her? She's just a girl. She couldn't possibly make a shot, Lord Phantomhive." My head whipped towards him. Did that bastard just make a sexist remark? Shit is about to get real.
I stood up from my seat with a lick of my lips, managing to do what Claude and Alois do sometimes. Walking past Sir Arthur with a swish of my hips, I stopped as Ciel did in the anime. "How soon will you prepare the reward for my cousin?"
"By tonight." I nodded before walking forward and jumping on the pool table. Smiling, I pointed my stick towards the blonde man.
"Women can do anything a man can do. Right, Madam Red?" She smirked while nodding at me. "You sir should learn this quickly before someone makes you realize that." Turning back to Sir Arthur, I continued. "My lord will send a carriage for you later. We'll have some slight entertainment ready for you."
"Is she going to go after all the balls in this situation?" I frowned. I was right here, Hitler, if you didn't notice. Before anyone had the audacity to answer for me, I spoke up.
"Of course, good sir."
"Greed will the Phantomhive's undoing." At Sir Arthur's words, my hands tightened around the stick I held. How dare he say that about my new family!
"And stupidity will most definitely be yours, Sir Arthur. You should never interrupt a lady when she has her mind to something. She just might-" I took the shot with expertise making all of the balls go in just like they did with Ciel in the anime. Smiling, I continued. "Surprise you."
Ciel smirked while staring at me. "Greed, eh?"
I shifted in my seat uncomfortably while staring at the floor. My confidence in the game room was gone when I was in a room with Sebastian. Ignoring Sebastian's introduction to the tea from Fortnum and Mason, I glanced up at Grell with the most seductive look I could muster. Surprisingly, Grell blushed before winking at me… WOAH!
"It smells delicious. Tea can be exceptional when well brewed, hmm?" I looked down at the cup Sebastian had set down in front of me minutes ago. It of course had been hot chocolate. I say had because I had already devoured my drink. Looking back up, I noticed Grell admiring Sebastian with a dreamy look. Ugh! Grell's going to be my snuggle buddy!
"Grell." The reaper immediately straightened at his name.
"Y-Yes, my lady?"
"Learn something from him." Madam Red's face was so serious that I couldn't wait for what was going to happen next. Grell nodded with a sigh of dejection. "That aside…" Madam Red started patting Sebastian's behind making me stifle giggles at his face. "You're a fine-looking man, aren't you? Quit serving in this little country house and come to me!"
Ciel coughed, slightly scarred. "Madam Red."
"Oh, goodness, I'm sorry! I just couldn't help but want to palpate him! Perhaps that's just how doctors are." It's not just you Madam Red. I want to do that to him- STOP! Damnit, Sebastian made it hard to even be perverted about him in my mind.
"You believe the drug trafficker was one of your guests today, my lord?" Lau stood as he said this making Ran Mao shift in her seat.
"Perhaps."
"You can just leave this extermination business to Lau." Lau made his way over to me while I sipped on my second round of Hot Chocolate. "A rat knows best where the rats' nest is, doesn't he?" Lau bent down to where I could feel his breath on my cheek making me slightly freeze. I didn't notice Sebastian's glare towards us, and neither did Lau.
"I'm a tame guinea pig, actually." Why was Lau's voice huskier than it was supposed to be? Was he flirting with me with his usual Launess? "If the earl or this ravishing girl-" Woah, ravishing? Lau, I may not like you like that, but I think you can make me head there. Just keep complimenting me. "-orders me not to, I won't do anything uncalled for." A second passed.
Suddenly, I found myself in the arms of Madam Red. "Hey! Keep your paws off my darling new niece!" I blushed at the word darling while Lau looked put out that he couldn't keep me.
"You wound me. I wouldn't paw at her here!" This time I noticed Sebastian's eyes turn pink as he stared at Lau with a deadly look. Lau should be dead by now with the way Sebastian was glaring at him.
"You're saying you would somewhere else!?" Depends on where he paws me. If he just did what he did a few moments ago, I don't think I would mind that much, but if he touched me anywhere bad... "That's a problematic statement, you know!" I would have fallen back on my butt if it wasn't for Sebastian who pulled me to his chest. I blushed at the tingles that shot up my arm while warmth spread in my body. Pulling away quickly, I pushed Sebastian back with a glare.
I quickly followed Ciel out the door, not wanting for him to get kidnapped alone. "Young master? My lady?" I may have called dibs on you in my world, Sebastian, but I'm not going to let you think I'm falling for you. Gritting my teeth, I continued following Ciel while ignoring Sebastian watching us.
"It ran that way guys!"
"There he is!"
"I've got him!"
Ciel sighed as the trio ran past us while I merely smiled at the three passing by. Looking down, I noticed Ciel was staring at me in the corner of his eye. "Michelle?" I nodded signaling to him that I had heard him. "Sebastian told me what a demon mate was." I stiffened as we walked before giving him a strained smile. He nodded.
"Young master." The both of us turned, my cheeks pink with the blush that had grown on my face while Ciel looked normal. "Today we'll be having a deep-dish apple raisin pie." That did not sound appetizing. "It will be ready soon; will you two eat with your guests?"
"Bring it to my room. I can't deal with them right anymore." I turned with Ciel and continued walking before giving my own answer.
"I'm with Ciel on this. Madam Red kept me from telling Lau to back off a little on his advances." Even though I kinda liked it because it was Lau.
"Very good, my lord, young mistress." The trio ran past him while Ciel and I continued walking. Looking back slightly, I smiled at Sebastian's dead-panned face before he caught the mouse quickly. Looking forward again, I couldn't help but smile at Sebastian's antics.
"By the way, Ciel." He inclined his head towards me. "I suggest you learn what chloroform smells like. Who knows how many people after this kidnaps you the same way!" Ciel's eyes widened as I opened the door for him. Pushing him after a few minutes, I followed him quickly.
Suddenly, a hand reached forward with a cloth towards Ciel while a hand wrapped around my waist. Pain filled my senses at the pressure point that was hit before I slowly slipped into unconsciousness. I still felt the hand that pinched my butt though. I'm going to kill this guy when I wake up.
"Young master, mistress, I brought your afternoon tea." Sebastian frowned as he didn't hear the voice of his master or his mate. Opening the door, he spoke again. "Young master, mistress?" His eyes widened at the sight of his master's office in shreds.
A sense of fury overwhelmed him as he smelled his mate's scent mingled with another mans. Closing his eyes, he quickly pushed it down. "This is terrible. The tea will go to waste."
I woke slightly at the blonde man's words. "The order of England's underworld… One of the 'villainous nobles' that have assumed the bad guy role for the royal family for generations… 'The Queen's guard dog' and 'The Dog's kitten-" I already had a nickname!? I like it. After all, cats were very cute. "who uses their absolute power to bite to death anyone who opposes her… Just how many nicknames have you had, and how many families have you crushed… Ciel Phantomhive and Michelle Phantomhive?"
Both Ciel and I raised our heads to reveal our blue eyes. Ciel wore a frown on his face while I had a slight pout. "I thought it was you Azzurro Vanel of the Ferro family!" So, that's his name! Huh… No wonder I never remembered it.
"Say little Phantomhive, it's tough for the Italian Mafia in this country. All those Englishman have tea-encrusted brains. People in the family business have to rack our brains to come up with smart ways to make money. And that's exactly what drugs are for." By the end of his speech, Vanel was crouched in front of us with a weird look on his face.
"In the Pharmacy Act of '68, even opium was listed as restricted. The Queen has ordered me not to let the vermin or the drugs run wild anymore." Vanel let out a deep sigh while Ciel looked at him uninterested. I merely sat there with hate-filled eyes at Vanel.
"This is why I hate Englishmen. The Queen this, the Queen that…" You should hear Americans. Obama Care this, Obama Care that… It gets really annoying when your stepfather is in politics. "You're all a bunch of mama's boys about your stupid Queen."
Vanel glanced at me in the corner of his eye, making me stiffen against the wall. He grabbed my chin in a tight grasp. "Englishmen try to line their own pockets while they bind us with rules, but we're birds of a feather, aren't we, my dear American?" I gasped. I forgot that I had an American accent which would make me seem different from the people around here. "We should get along."
My glare hardened while Ciel answered Vanel. "I've left orders for my servants to give your storehouse key to the authorities if I don't come back." I interrupted Ciel before he could say his next line.
"Sorry, but I don't like making friends with screwed up rats. They leave a mess." The man stood before pointing a gun at me while Ciel watched with concerned eyes. I didn't look at Ciel, instead I stared at the barrel with a faint memory coming to my mind.
"Will! Help me!"
"You're always getting kidnapped, don't you, Michelle?"
"Don't underestimate an adult, you damned brat! I already have my men waiting at your estate." Vanel turned his gun to Ciel, making me stiffen as I looked over at my new family member. "Where's the key? Spit it out fast or I'll kill your servants one by one."
Ciel merely turned his head with an innocent smile. I bit my lip as he just looked so adorable! Who couldn't love this little boy? Shaking my head, I prepared myself. "You'd better hope your little lap dogs actually know how to fetch."
POW!
"MICHELLE!"
I gasped in pain at the stinging sensation I felt on my face. I landed at Ciel's feet with a sharp intake of breath. Looking up, I managed to give Ciel the nicest smile I could manage. "I-I'm fine, C-Ciel."
"Tch. Did you hear that? Negotiations just broke down." Vanel hanged up after he said those words.
Sebastian walked down the hall with his jaw clenched. He had managed to push down the fury for a certain amount of time when he had sensed that his mate was in trouble and that she was hurt. That feeling did not sit well with him.
"Now, where can the young master and mistress have gone off to?" Sebastian stopped in the middle of the hallway while staring at the pie he had prepared.
"Sebastian! I just found a letter at the front door, yes!" He looked up at Mey-Rin with an interested expression.
"Addressed to whom?"
"Er, 'The Earl Phantomhive's and Lady Phantomhive's servants'."
Outside, a man pointed a sniper at Sebastian. Seconds passed until Sebastian turned to look straight at the man. Shocked, the man put down his sniper slightly. Back inside, Mey-Rin tripped over her shoelaces while the sniper pulled his gun back up to shoot. Just in time, Mey-RIn fell on Sebastian while the man shot, and Sebastian caught the pie.
"Mey-Rin, the letter."
She stood while looking down at Sebastian with a red face. "Y-yes sir, yes!" The both of them stood before Mey-Rin handed Sebastian the letter before daydreaming about what just happened.
"'If you want us return your master and mistress safely, bring it to Nova Scotia Gardens in Bethnal Green.' What a vulgar invitation." Putting the letter in his coat, he was interrupted by Finny and others.
"Sebastian!"
"Say, what happened?"
"I apologize for the commotion. Nothing is the matter, so please don't worry." Madam Red looked at the broken window with interest.
"Nothing?"
"I'm sorry everyone, but would you clean this up?" Sebastian handed the pie to Bard who looked at it while the butler walked away.
"By 'clean up,' do you mean…" Bard turned with a smile, "We can eat this!?" Opening his eyes, he realized that Sebastian was gone. "Sebastian?"
Lucky D: Be prepared for the next chapter where we continue with the second episode of Black Butler. Sorry about splitting the episodes. They're just so long!
