Chapter 7

Ciel complied with Tsuki's odd request of setting up a metal pole in her room. "So long as you idiots don't make too much of a racket." he'd muttered. "Now let me concentrate!" He was on one of the hardest levels of Angry Birds and almost thrown her iPod in frustration.

So they got to work. Tanaka ordered the pole as well as the wood to make a small elevated base with enough room to stand, Finny hauled everything around, Sebastian and Bard worked together to build the base and fit the pole firmly in place; making sure that it wouldn't budge.

Pleased with their work, Bard and Finny asked Tsuki to inspect it. She stomped around the platform, deeming it exceptional, and then ran her hands along the pole's length, pointing out rough edges here and there for them to smooth over. In the end, she nodded her head in approval. "Thanks boys! It's perfect!"

"Say Tsuki, what's this for anyways?" Finny asked as he reclined against the wooden boards.

"Yeah," Bard questioned, "What d' you need this thing for?"

Tsuki leaned against the pole, "It's . . . for training. I'm getting out of shape and I need to work out."

The younger boy's eyes shone. "Training? What for Tsuki?"

"I used to be pretty good at martial arts Aka-chan." She smiled at Finny, using her pet-name for him. "But I haven't done much lately and I need to tone up. I'm getting pudgy with all this soft living." She flexed her arm and poked at the small lump of muscle there. "I don't think I could even throw Bard over my shoulder the way I am now."

Finny and Bard looked at each other, incredulous. Tsuki throw Bard? "You can do that Tsuki?" Finny looked at her admiringly.

Tsuki laughed, tossing her midnight colored tresses over her shoulder. "I could do a lot back then Aka-chan!" She ruffled his hair, "I'll show you when I'm all trained up!" she looked over at Bard and gave him a wink, "That okay Bard?"

Bard lit his cigarette as he let out a snort. "Sure thing shrimp. You know where to find me." He blew a smoke ring in Tsuki's direction, "So how d' you plan on buildin' muscle with that?" he asked, pointing to the pole.

The girl only shook her head, "That's for me and Mey-Rin to know."

Bard grunted in surprise, "Mey-Rin'll be joining you?"

"I'll need a little help at first. It's been . . . awhile." At that, she felt a tug on the back of her dress. She turned to find Finny looking up at her, an eager expression on is face.

"Can I help you too Tsuki?"

Tsuki stared at him for a second before coughing and turning away, her cheeks a light pink. "S-sorry Finny. It's girls only."

Finny pouted, "But Tsuki!-"

"FINNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Sebastian's seething frustration could practically be felt all the way in Tsuki's corner the room.

Finny jumped up, gasping. "Oh no! I forgot to tell him about the trees Pluto dug up!" He took off at a run, saving Tsuki from the heartbreaking experience of having to tell him 'No' again.

Bard put out his cigarette. "Well, good luck with the training Tsuki." he waved a hand as he made his way down the hallway.

Tsuki sighed as she shut the door, There's NO WAY I'm letting Finny in here while we do this. She took out her bag, searching for her pajamas and spare set of spandex to lend to her she pulled on her clothes she looked at the pole, remembering all the fun she used to have with the girls. Anticipation growing, she stepped up onto the platform, Well . . . I should practice a bit before trying to show Mey-Rin . . . she hummed as she turned on her iPod, searching for a song.

Tsuki scrolled down through the songs, "I really need to make a playlist for this." she mumbled to herself. No. No. Not that one. Nope. . . . There! She smiled triumphantly, hitting the play button. 'My Goodies' by Cierra. She didn't start right off, first stretching out her muscles, her heart thumping in anticipation. Tsuki took a deep breath. In. Out. Letting the music take control she stepped onto the platform, her hips swaying in time to the music. Just like practice Tsuki. You can do this. She gripped the pole, and so, began her dance.


In the manor's kitchen, Agni was chatting with Finny and Sebastian. Prince Soma and Agni had decided to stop by at the Manor as the Prince had become bored at the townhouse and so had come to pester Ciel into entertaining him. While Prince Soma gave Ciel a headache, Agni had come down to chat with the Phantomhive servants. They were all just so cheery and energetic! Being at the townhouse could get lonely, even with Prince Soma jumping around.

"So how have all of you been so far this winter? Has anything of interest come up?" Agni asked as he sipped the cup of tea that was placed before him.

Finny had been bursting with excitement when the two guests arrived right after they'd finished up in Tsuki's room, but Sebastian had given him a admonishing look. One that said 'You-Will-Keep-Quiet-Until-The-Proper-Time-To-Talk'. As soon as Agni asked, he looked up at Sebastian, his eyes pleading. The butler rolled his eyes, "Yes, yes Finny. Go ahea-"

"We got someone new at the manor! Her names Tsuki and she's simply amazing Agni!" Finny burst out, cutting Sebastian off. At Sebastian's look of disapproval, the young man looked sheepish. "Sorry Sebastian, I'm just excited is all."

Agni grinned at Finny, "That's understandable. That's quite a bit of news isn't it?" He looked to Sebastian for details. "So how did this Tsuki come to be in the service of the Young Earl, Sebastian?"

"We found her unconscious on the property. The Young Lord took a fancy to her and decided to let her stay with us. She's been with us for about 3 weeks now."

"Ciel interested in someone? She really must be truly amazing then, no?"

The raven-haired man smirked at that, "Well, I suppose that is one way to put it. She certainly keeps the young master entertained, and she helps keep order around the house. She's . . . unusual to say the least."

The Indian smiled broadly, "Quite a change of pace I'm sure."

Sebastian nodded in agreement, "Quite."

"So where is she now?" Agni questioned, "I'd like to meet her if it's not too much trouble."

"Of course," Sebastian told him, "If you'll just follow me I'll show you to her room and I can introduce-"

"SEBASTIANNNN!" Ciel's infuriated yell echoed throughout the house.

"Oh dear," he tut-tutted. "It seems he isn't playing nice with the Prince."

Agni rose at this, "The Prince? I should go in case you need my assistance."

"No, no. It's fine. Why don't you go and meet Miss Tsuki and I'll take care of this. Finny will show you the way, yes?"

Agni nodded as the butler walked out, "Very well then. Please don't hesitate to call for assistance if need be."

"Yes yes, go ahead you two, I must see to the Young Master and the Prince." And with that he swept out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

"Let's get going then Agni!" Finny tugged on the manservant's sleeve, half dragging him to the door.

He laughed, "Yes, yes, let's meet this Tsuki of yours."

Finny chattered on and on as he led Agni to Tsuki's room, "Just wait until you meet her Agni! Tsuki is very sweet and caring! She's always helping everyone out and keeping us out of trouble, she even stands up to Ciel and scolds him when he's being bad! She's amazing and she's very pretty too! Even if she does dress, . . . weird at times." At this the young man's face took on a light pink shade.

Just as Agni was going to ask him what he meant by 'weird', they came upon a door at the end of the hall. "Here's her room! Just go on in, she's probably cleaning up after the work we did in her room today." Finny was cracking the door open when Pluto ran by followed by Mey-Rin.

"Pluto!" Mey-Rin cried in vain, "STOP!" They bumped against the pair in front of the door, jostling Finny and pushing Agni through the door. Finny didn't notice and went chasing after them, closing the door as he dashed after them, trapping Agni inside.
