The servants left and I turned to Sebastian,
"Ok, now what we need to do is make a yen garden, set the table outside and prep for supper so it's all there to make later." I said to Sebastian. He looked surprised that I was ordering him around. I smirked,
"Sebastian, I'm more of an able servant then you!" I said to him with a slight chuckle
"Ah well, I just got a little distracted"
"But being distracted could cost you" I said back to him, "now, go do your job!" I commanded and He went.
I went outside to set the table, but before I reached the back door my nose started to itch. I shrugged it off as I went outside to find the yen garden already done, "show off" I grumbled to myself as I set the table.
Once I got done it was time to meet the guest, so I made my way to the front. We stood on the front yard bridge thing and waited to greet the guest. The carriage came in and Sebastian opened the carriage door for him,
"Ah, how impressive!" he exclaims in amazement
"Ello, welcome sir" the four of us say as we bowed and smiled (even though I want to high five him... In the face... With a chair)
"This is called a stone garden; it's a traditional feature in Japan." Sebastian said to the guest as he walks up to him.
"Ah, fradishoso! Wonderful, truly an elegant garden"
"Thought I was a good idea to serve dinner alfresco" (Bull honky) "allow me to escort you inside" Sebastian said while starting to escort the guest.
"Ha ha ha, I should have expected this from a Phantomhive. I can't wait to see what's installed!" the guest says while he walks in.
Once in Bard wipes the sweat off his brow, "whew we actually did it!"
"Yeah! Who would have thought a dozen boxes of gravel could turn into an amazing garden!" Finny added
"Sebastian stopped walking, "naturally we could have handled this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There's still work to be done, take care of while the master is talking plans. Look sharp now."
"Right!" they chimed together and went to work.
"Wow, you really have a tight grasp around them, don't you?" I said to Sebastian while I watched the servants start to work.
"You have to if you want them not to mess up things." He responded
"You know, you may be a big mean demon, but you have your nice sides too, it's nice to see that you still have that side of yours ." I said not really knowing what I was saying while staring straight ahead of me. I snap out of it, blinking my eyes and shaking my head, I started to walk to the drawing room, I then noticed Sebastian wasn't following me. I turned around and went up to him; I noticed he had a bit of a shocked expression. I waved my hand in front of his face, "Woo hoo! Are you there?" He blinks "Come on! Get your heads out of the clouds! We got to get to the Drawing room!" I said to him and he breaks out of his little trance, 'weird, he seems to do this around me more than often for some reason' I thought to myself. He does his famous closed eye smile, "right, let's get going." I nod and then we set off to the drawing room.
By the time we got there Ciel has already started to play the game with guest. He was talking about some business things, I don't really know. Because I started to get distracted with a lose string on my uniform. I started to pay more attention to the string then the surroundings. So when Sebastian nudges me I freak out. 'JESUS DUCKING CRIEST' I yell in my head while I put my hand over my heart. I put on a sickly sweet smile, "yes Sebastian?" I whispered a little annoyed from the scare and his smirk, "Guard the master while I go check on the other servants." He whispered back, I nodded and watched out for the master.
- Sebastian's P.O.V -
"Sebastian, I'm more of an able butler then you!" Sapphire said to me with a slight smirk
"Ah, well you see I just got a little distracted" I said back to her
"But being distracted could cost you some day, now get your job done!"She commanded and I started to figure out what we were going to make for dinner. I decided on Beef Don Bari, I've already had made a speech on why we served it when it was time to greet the guest.
I waited to greet the guest in the front of the mansion.
-Tiny time skip-
The guest Just got in the manner when the servants made the comment that they can't believe that we actually pulled it off and I responded with, "naturally we could have handled this. We serve the Phantomhive family after all. There's still work to be done, take care of while the master is talking plans. Look sharp now."
"Right!" they chimed together and went to work. Then Sapphire came up to me, "you sure have a firm grip on them"
"Well you have to if you don't want them to destroy anything" I responded, Sapphire then looked straight forward, it was almost like she was in a trance and said something I wasn't expecting "You may be a big mean demon, but you do have your nice sides to you. It's nice to see that you still have that side of yours"
I stopped, surprised that she had said that, 'she somehow gets into my head. There's something about her that reminds me of something or someone that I know. I just can't remember what it is! It's starting to make me angry.' I thought but then Sapphire's voice interrupted my thoughts,
"Come on! Get your heads out of the clouds! We got to get to the Drawing room!" I snap my attention to Sapphire,
"Right, let's gets going" I said and started to walk with her to Ciel's drawing room.
When we get there Ciel and the guest were playing a board game that was deciding the man's fate. I started to listen to what they were saying when Sapphire on the other hand was deeply engrossed with a piece of string. 'What does this remind me of the thing so much!?What is it that she reminds me of and why can't I think of it?! Heck she even smells like it! Anyway I got to check on the other servants.' I thought then I nudge Sapphire, in which she freaks out, I smirk at her reaction.
She put her hand over her heart and put on a sickly sweet smile, "yes Sebastian?" She whispered to me
"Guard the master while I go check on the other servants." I whispered back, she nodded and started to watch out for the master.
I walk out of the room and went to see if there doing the things I assigned for them to do. The servants were all doing what I said to do.
"Splendid work everyone. But now I believe you can leave the rest for me. Go and relax for a bit and I need you to do well, very well for tonight's dinner." I said to them with my closed eye smile."Wow, he said it twice" Finnian said
"He must be serious" Bardroy added then they went off and I got the rest if the dinner done.
After I got done, I went to notify the young master and the guest that dinner is ready.
When walking toward the drawing room I started to think of what Sapphire reminded me, 'let's see, she doesn't remind me of a shinigami or a angel For sure, a demon maybe, but that is very unlikely. But again, she does remind me of a living thing, I may have to conduct some little tests... Also, I need to get on to finding out what that little black rectangular box is and what does it do.' I thought right before reached the door; I opened it,
"Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served" the guest looked over
"Oh, dining out in the exquisite stone garden. Shall we my lord?" The guest said to Ciel.
"Very well, let's finish the game later." Ciel says back
-Sapphire P.O.V-
When Sebastian comes in I know it's time for dinner
"Pardon the interruption, but dinner is served" the guest looked over
"Oh, dining out in the exquisite stone garden. Shall we my lord?" The guest said to Ciel.
"Very well, let's finish the game later." Ciel says back
"Oh, is there really any need to finish it? It's obvious I'm going to lose." The guest said back to Ciel
"I'm not in the habit to finishing games half way through" he says as he walks towards the door and I follow him
"How childish" he says under his breath and I glare at him but he quickly changes it when Ciel faces him, " uh,, I... Mean sometimes it takes a child's eyes to see what's really important. It's a true gift, maybe that's what makes the Phantomhive's the nations for most toy makers. It certainly impresses me." He finished off and I noticed that Sebastian glared at him too, 'heh, we share the same feelings' I thought to myself as we walked to the stone garden with Sebastian leading and me the caboose.
We reached the garden and I sat down the guest as Sebastian sat down Ciel.
"Tonight on our menu is a dish of finely sliced raw beef, Don Bari courtesy of our chef Bardroy."
"A pile of raw meat... And this is dinner?" The guest questioned
"It is, but surly you have heard of it, this good sir is a traditional Japanese Delicacy! A dish offered as a sign of gratitude to someone who has... Blah blah blah blah blah."
I blocked out Sebastian because one you hear the speech once, you've heard it a thousand times I say; I unblock him when I see the guest talking,
"Excellent! What an inspired idea! Legendary Phantomhive hospitality in action!" The guest said in amazement
Sebastian walks in with the wine, "the vintage we are poring tonight was specially selected to complement the flavor of soy sauce" he looks over to Mey-Rin, "Mey -Rin."
"Yes sir?" she answers and Sebastian goes up to her and whispers in her something in her ear, making her glasses brake even more. Mey-rin goes up to the table when she reaches it I see she's shaking. Then when she pores, she misses the cup by a mile. Sebastian goes up and quickly takes off the table cloth and my nose starts to itch like crazy, I don't really pay attention to the other conversations and stuff because my nose is too distracting, 'oh, I know why this is happening!' I thought to myself, ' It's because Sebastian is showing off! Great...'
The itching finally subsided after awhile and I gained back attention to what was happening in the outside world. Dinner was over and Sebastian was guiding the guest and Ciel back inside. So I decide to clean up dinner.
Once I was done , I wiped the sweat off from my brow, then turned around to see Sebastian, "fluffing hell" I mumbled under my breath , he smirked
I scowled at him, "arge, just go serve the master Already." I said to him a bit angry and he chuckled under his breath and left
"Darn nasty demon, acting like a freaking ninja and sneaking behind me, trying to scare me' I grumbled under my breath while heading back to the drawing room when I bump into someone. Causing me to fall backwards on to the ground. I quickly get back up, dust myself off, and then bow and apologies to the person I hit, "I'm very sorry I ran into you!" I say before I notice it was the guest that I ran into. I knew that he was looking for the phone, " no, it was my fault, forgive me. But do you know where the phone is?" he asked me and I smiled, "yes, it's just down this hallway, down the stairs and it's the first door on the left." I said to him in a helpful tune. He thanked me then went on.
Once he was out of eye sight, my smile quickly turned into a scowl, 'Man I hate that guys guts' I thought to myself. Then I quickly and quietly trailed behind him with Mission Impossible playing in my head.
"I'm a tired of babysitting this a child earl! Yes, I've already sold off the factory. Now all that's left is to pocket the extra cash and try to squeeze more out of the brat right now... Employees? Who cares about them." He looks behind him a little paranoid then turns back to the phone and sighs, "never mind, the rest of the formalities are for you to deal with... please he's only a child."
- In the hallway outside the phone room-
I listen to the guest conversation over the phone when feel eyes on me, I turn around to see Sebastian behind me. I jump a bit 'Jesus!' I yell in my head. Sebastian smirks yet again from my actions. Looked down to see a mask in Sebastian's hands, I smiled a huge smile, 'the fun is about to began' I thought to myself as Sebastian does the first scare.
-Present time/ Authors P.O.V-
The guest goes up the entry way stairs. On the second case of stairs he notices something strange on the huge picture of the late previous earl of Phantomhive and his wife, two black and white ghostly faces with no noses replaces the faces of the departed parents of Ciel Phantomhive. They turn to look at him. His heart skips a couple beats, he rubs his eyes and the faces disappear, "impossible, I'm a seeing things." He says to reinsure himself. But he's still a little spooked. He then turns to keep heading to his destination.
He stops for a second as 'Bewitched by the eyes of the dead' rings through his head ; he stops, "now that's ridiculous" he says to himself and starts to walk again.
He opens a door to see if it's the drawing room, it's not. He tries several other doors. But not one was the drawing room. "This manor is like a giant maze. Can't even find the drawing room' he says in frustration
Bewitched by the eyes of the dead
While walking the guest starts to hear creeks, he stops and starts to back up from the two figures in front of him. Soon he starts to run away from the two ghostly figures.
Lose one turn
The man stumbles a little bit while running away desperately; he soon trips on a bucket and falls down the stairs. Causing him to twist his leg. Mey-Rin runs up to him, "sir, you're alright?" she stops and gasps at his leg and walks back a little, "his leg! It's twisted around, what happened to it?!"
"Eya, what's wrong?" Bard asked
"Something happened" Mey-Rin replied
He looks at the painting that was on the wall before that bard and finny was holding.
"Lose one leg in the enchanted forest" the faces chorused together. He freaks and gets onto his hands and knees and starts to crawl away, 'uh, sir, sir?" Mey-rin said with her hand out stretched, but he ignored it and kept going.
He crawls to the servants quarters to which he finds two people, a butler and a maid, "surely you're not leaving the manor just yet sir" the butler said as the guest falls back frightened, " we haven't even given you the full Phantomhive treatment yet" the maid said in a hurt tone "and we still have desert to serve" the butler finished.
The guest gets back on his hands and knee and starts to crawl away, "you lost a leg remember, now you can only move half the spaces.' The maid says, "so why don't you just relax a bit and make yourself at home" the butler says with his famous closed eye smile. But the guest keeps crawling towards where he thinks safety lies.
He opens up a door and goes in. "damn it's too dark" he says to himself as he wipes the sweat off his brow, he then stiffens when he hears footsteps coming closer. "Gah" he says as he backs up and hits something with a handle, "this a cupboard?" he asks himself as he reaches to open the supposed cupboard. Then he goes in, he hears the door open . 'Gah, these are really tight quarters" he says to himself. He puts his hand down and it touches something, "what's this?" he smells his hand, "it smells like sugar" he says then the realization hits him, he's in an oven.
Something opens behind him; he turns around and sees a pair of scarlet eyes, "what an impatient guest we have, you couldn't really restrain yourself till desert was out of the oven." The butler said with a concern look in his eyes
"The-the OVEN?!" the guest yells then starts to bang on the oven door, "OPEN UP, OPEN UP! PLEASE JUST OPEN THE DOOR!"
The maid sighed, "Perhaps the Italians aren't familiar with our customs. There's plum pudding, minced meat pie. There are many traditional deserts in England that make use of meat." The butler chimed in, "I find them all quite tasty" he says then, he closes the eye gate.
Your body is burnt by raging flames
The guest yells in pain that could be heard from space...
Yeah! another chapter done! Finally after, a month?
Sapphire: no you idiot, it's actually been three months!
Author: Shit! Really that long?!
Sapphire: yes you dirty procrastinator
Author: '-_- I'm sorry ok! it's a problem! But, hey! At least I have a lot of chapters I need to type!
Sapphire: woo! now you can continue in controlling my life! what joy!
Author: Oh, that brings me on something I want to say, I wanted to say that I'm sorry that I've only been updating once a month and I plan on trying to update every other week. usually on a Friday, Sunday or Saturday. because I have a lot of chapters written and this also gives me time to type them down in my phone or computer. Also I want to say that this fan fiction will mostly go off of the manga.
Sapphire: So I advise that if you haven't read the manga, GO DO IT! ITS AWESOME!
Author: I agree with Sapphire on this
Sapphire: thank you, I also wanted to say that the author, (even though it kills me) only owns me. She does not own any of black butler at all. I don't even think she's related to her.
Author: HEY! I heard that! And yeah, I don't think I'm related to her at all too.
Sapphire: * sinkers *
Author: Any way, I would like to say thank you for all the people who support this and thank you for Liking my story. But for now, I have to say good bye. See you in a week or two!
