Ciel was sitting in his office drinking his afternoon tea like it had been any other day. He had been back at the Phantomhive manor for about two months now. They had not spoken of the Trancy manor since leaving, which made Sebastian cheerier then ever.
Ciel had just set down his tea cup when a letter was placed infront of him. He picked it up. "More duties from the Queen?" he asked as he opened the letter.
Sebastian nodded. "Yes, master. It seems there has been a recent string of kidnappings. All of them have been young girls aged thirteen to seventeen. All nobles as well."
Ciel read over the letter and nodded. "Seems like a repeat of the creepy doll maker case a few years back."
Sebastian nodded. "Correct, young master. But it is not the work of Drocell or Angela this time, seeing they are both dead. I have my suspicions. Do you have them as well?"
Ciel crossed his arms with a sigh. "Sebastian… I really do dislike you at this moment. Are you referring to…"
Sebastian grinned. "I shall retrieve the corset, my lady."

Ciel shivered as he walked out of the carriage. The dress still fit and it was still as uncomfortable as ever. There they stood in front of another one of Viscount Druitt's parties. And the "Little Robin" was not very happy to be here.
Sebastian leaned down to Ciel's hearing range. "My lady, please show some respect here. Remember what we are here for."
Ciel sighed and nodded. "Alright."
As they walked into the party it was just like walking back into a nightmare. It was almost exactly like the Jack the Ripper case, but a few years in advance.
Ciel turned around and faced Sebastian. "Alright. You and I will split up and look for the Viscount. If you don't see me for 30 minutes… Come find me." With that Ciel turned around and began walking.
He and Sebastian searched the entire party, but to no avail. Distraught, Ciel and Sebastian met back up, Ciel in a foul mood. "If I wore this stupid dress and we don't see him, someone is going to get hurt. And it will be him."
Sebastian sighed and placed his hand on Ciel's shoulder. "My lady, please calm down."
Oh how those words made Ciel shiver. Almost as much as being called a Little Robin.
Ciel looked at Sebastian. "Don't be so juvenile. Go get me something to drink."
Sebastian nodded. "I will be back momentarily."
While Sebastian was gone, Ciel scanned the area again. He was about to call Sebastian over to call it off and go home when he saw the familiar flash of hair color. The Viscount! Ciel began to run in the direction he had seen the flash go.
Every time he turned a corner, the flash would be turning the complete opposite way. This was making Ciel furious. He quickened his pace.
He stopped to catch his breath. He looked around. He was gone. Ciel cursed under his breath. This was turning into a wild goose chase. Ciel walked over to the nearest wall and leaned against it.
He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Oh Little Robin~" a sing-song voice said.
Ciel's head snapped up and he looked around. He was going to kill that man! He turned and saw the flash go into another room. Ciel quickly chased after him. The room was pitch black other then the light coming from the party behind him.
Suddenly the door was slammed behind him and Ciel jumped. This was no longer fun and games. He looked around the dark room but with no avail. It was much to dark. "Viscount! Don't hide from me!"
Ciel froze when he heard a giggle. It made his heart jump from his skin. It wasn't the Viscount.
Ciel was suddenly forced to the ground and pinned down. He growled. He couldn't see his attacker. "Who the hell-"
Ciel was cut off as he was forcefully kissed. Ciel tried to push his attacker off, but it was no use. The dress wasn't helping with his range of motions.
As the kiss was broken, Ciel gasped for air. He growled into the darkness. "Who the hell are you!"
The voice that responded was something far from expected. "You didn't recognize the kiss. That makes me sad."
The lights automatically came on and the dark room was illuminated. They were the only two in there. Him and his attacker.
"Alois!"
