I`m re-watching all of Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji and having an internal debate about what hair color Ciel`s hair is. Share your opinion on the poll on my profile. Well currently I`m sitting in a Matryoshka Hoodie and a Hatsune Miku shirt and eating pocky while writing this and watching Sebby throw silverware at people. Ah… Sebby… ^^

Chapter 3: Day 2: School Days and Demon Boys
-Lily POV-
I awoke to a stream of light shining onto my face. I groaned and rolled over away from the forbidden source if light threatening to pierce my eyelids. "It is time to wake up, My Lady." A melodic voice said.
I opened my eyes to see Sebastian standing next to my bed with a cart full of pastries and teas. I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "I have prepared Earl Grey tea today and for breakfast we have scones or toast. Which would you like, My Lady?"
"A scone is fine…" I responded
He handed me a plate with a scone on it and set a cup of tea onto a plate and placed it onto my nightstand. "What plans do I have today?" I asked
"Today is your first day back at school, My Lady." He said with a smile
"Lovely…" I said
"I shall leave you to get prepared for school. I shall wait for you downstairs." He said with a bow and with that he left.
I stood up and went to my wardrobe. I pulled out my old school uniform. I attended London`s Privileged Academy. Our female uniform consisted of a grey pleated skirt, white shirt with a blue insignia on the right side, a blue sweater to tie around the neck of it, grey knee socks and blue hair bow.
I sat on my bed pulling up my socks when I noticed something peculiar on the right side of my right ankle. It had a star in the center that was enclosed in a circle that was then surrounded by another circle with lines dipping into it and coming out on the other side. I looked at it rather closely and while doing so I heard a knock on the door and in came Sebastian.
"What might be delaying you, My Lady?" Sebastian asked "Ah. I see you have discovered the seal of the contract." He said with a smile
"Didn't I tell you to cut it out with the formalities?" I asked
"I do apologize, My Lady, but it is your proper title after all." He said, bending at the waist with a hand over his heart in a bow.
"Whatever…" I said "I just need to finish putting these on and get my bag and I`ll be ready to leave."
"I will get your bag and wait for you in the parlor." He said, grabbing my bag on the way out.
I finished putting on my socks and put on my brown boots and walked down stairs and to the parlor. "Are you ready to depart, My Lady?"
I sighed, deflating in the process "Let`s get it over with…" I said
He smiled "Of course" he led me out into the carriage and we started the ride to the academy.
(_ _")
When we arrived at the academy I waved at Sebastian and he told me simply "Have a good day, My Lady." I walked into the Hell Hole that awaited me.
I survived the first class and headed to my home room class. It was my favorite class. Music.
I walked in and heard the murmurs. Finally someone came and asked me if I knew
"Hey Lillian, did you hear? We are getting a new teacher!" it was Candace. One of the only people who talked to me
"We are?" I asked, actually quite shocked. Mrs. Rose had been our teacher since kindergarten, who could replace her.
The door creaked open to reveal a handsome man dressed in a grey-ish jacket, a brown vest, a pink-ish tie-thing and black dress pants. His hair was slightly longer in the front and was raven black. He turned and I looked at his eyes, dried crimson blood red. Sebastian.
"Good morning class. I am your new teacher Sebastian Michaelis. I hope we can get along well." The demon said "Now let`s take attendance." He started calling in which the girls would immediately responded with a high pitched 'Here!' and the boys would answer with a coolly stated 'Here…' When he got to my name, I was the indifferent one. "Miss Lillian Foreman?" he said in a questioning tone.
"Here." I said. Everyone looked up at me at my indifferent style of speech. Sebastian continued on with calling out names. Once he got to the end, he asked us all a question "I trust you all memorized your summer song. You all did correct?"
I nodded and so did a few others but most just looked the other way and a few girls and I`m pretty sure I saw a boy or two drooling over him as well. Sebastian sighed "Well… Miss Foreman was it?" he questioned looking in my direction. I looked up in response "Would you like to present your summer song to us?" he smiled. I nodded and picked up my sheet music and walked to the front, hearing the murmurs of the others just urged me foreword.
"That's the girl?" one girl asked
"Yes… She is Lillian Foreman. She is the head of the Foreman Music Company." Another explained
"But she is so young! She is only sixteen!" the girl who had originally asked the question whisper yelled
"But the late Lord Ciel Phantomhive was only twelve when he passed on and was the head of the Phantomhive family who ran the Funtom Company."
-Sebastian POV-
Of course I could hear the girls talking about the Mistress.
"But the late Lord Ciel Phantomhive was only twelve when he passed on and was the head of the Phantomhive family who ran the Funtom Company." I heard Miss Smith say
"Hmm…" I thought "So even five years after Ciel Phantomhive`s 'death' he is spoken of."
-End Sebastian POV-
I made it to the front of the room and Sebastian said something to the girls "You two, Miss Smith and Miss Thomas. Do you have something to share with the rest of the class?"
"Umm… No sir." Amy Smith said
"Fine then, Miss Foreman please present your song." He gestured at me
"Alright." I said "My song is called Lacrimosa*." I handed Sebastian the sheet music and began to sing the song.
*"In the growing night Let it sing with fright The secrets you gave me Lacrimosa once again Don't let dreams show in your eyes Cutting through the night Scream and cry Next thing you know we will be firewood Lacrimosa once again You don't need His forgiveness Lacrimosa"
The moonlight shines down on my fears
And adorns all my wretched sorrow
Entwine and immerse in our lives
We can't stop their dance in the dark
Unravel into new meanings
I can't see through the night
Even so I will run blind
I will love this world's beauty
That is now gone
Dead to my eyes
It vanished that day
Shattered at dawn
Hide the light deeper inside
With all the tears
You should have cried
Tormented heart,
You're tainted by your own fears
Are wheels of a phantom carriage
That races from the dark as you wake
Does it reach the light?
You're left never knowing its fate
'Cause you've been lured in the flames
'Till you die
Plead and beg but you won't be heard [never]
By the gods and their ruthless ways
[God's and their ruthless ways]
You're lucky if they're laughing
Lacrimosa!
We'll be the ones burning down the town
We will fade away
And sins will drown
Someday
I will love this blood-soaked land
Where I was born
Once so carefree
But that was before
My world was torn.
Instead put your faith in me
I'll count the days sullied by tears
I won't forsake
you or this world
Till I break
-Sebastian POV-
As the Young Mistress sang her song I admired her voice. A lovely soprano voice that it was. Though the song was a bit strange. Lacrimosa that word meant weeping in Latin. Interesting song she was singing.
-End Sebastian POV-
I ended the song with a long drawn out high note. I looked out into the crowd of people I would soon have to call my 'class mates'. They stared up at them, my face blank. They soon applauded. "That was quite lovely, Miss Foreman. I will consider that an A+ grade. Now who would like to go next?"
Ah… the rest is boring. Let`s move on shall we?
-After School and Back at the Estate- (-.-)
"Welcome home, My Lady." Sebastian said with a bow "I will prepare some tea while you change out of your uniform." I walked up stairs with a nod.
I walked into my room and pulled out a violet purple dress to change into. I was about to start changing when I noticed a peculiar sight in the corner of my room. I saw a blur of green and grey-ish blue dart from the corner of my room. I assumed it was my imagination and went back to the task at hand. I untied the sweater from around my neck and sat down on my bed to take of my boots. Once that was done I looked up to see a boy with an eye patch standing before me.
We had a stare down for awhile, him with his icy glare and me with my blank stare. Finally I broke the silence and spoke.
"Who are you?" I asked
"I am Ciel Phantomhive. The Earl of Phantomhive." He said proudly
"But you died five years ago." I said, but sighed "What do you want?"
"Your soul." He said
-Sebastian POV-
I felt the presence before I saw it. I rushed up the stairs to Lady Lily`s room. I pushed open the door "My Lady!" I yelled. I saw her, violin in hand ready to hit the presence if he decided to attack. I looked at the intruder she was currently ready to attack only to see Ciel Phantomhive in front of her. I chuckled. "This boy is not a threat, My Lady." I plucked the violin from her hands.
"Don't underestimate me Sebastian!" the child yelled "You leave me after a measly five years after my 'death'" he made air quotes around 'death' "and make a new contract. I applaud you."
"You must learn to fend for yourself Ciel." I said to the boy. He 'hmphed'
"Umm… Sebastian?" Lady Lily said
"Yes, My Lady?" I responded
"Who`s the kid?" she asked
"I already told you, you ninny!" he shouted in her direction "I am Ciel Phantomhive, the Earl of Phantomhive!" I slapped him on top of the head "Ow! What was that for Sebastian?!"
"I will not allow you to insult my mistress in her home. To answer your question My Lady, he truly is Ciel Phantomhive who 'died' five years ago, he is also my previous master." I explained to both of them, putting quotes around 'died'. "He was turned into a demon by Hannah Anafeloz, a demon."
"This pathetic girl is your new master, huh?" Ciel smirked "What was your wish girl?"
"None of your business." Lady Lily answered "Sebastian I will allow him to stay here as long as he does not cause trouble."
"Yes, My Lady." I answered bowing to the girl "Come along Ciel." I ushered the child demon out of the room.
Awkward endings DX I hate them! So… Here are some disclaimers
