Chapter 7

Jaynne was feeling sad as she rocked back and forth in the lonely corner. She couldn't stand being cramped in a small area for more than five hours.

"I see something going on between you and Ciel," Grell smiled as he knelt down next to Jaynne. His voice softened and he was curious about the relationship Jaynne and Ciel had.

"There's nothing between us," Jaynne denied, pushing Grell aside.

"Don't lie now. It ruins a girl's image," Grell lifted my face up to face his.

"I don't care, Ciel is an untouchable item for me," Jaynne spat out but then covered up her mouth. She gave away the only reason why she thought Ciel couldn't be hers. Her eyes quivered, knowing that Grell was even more curious.

"What do you mean, untouchable item?"

"He's so precious," Jaynne's mouth slipped again and she shook her head, trying to get rid of what she said, "Ciel is an engaged man. Touching a man who is taken is just wrong. Besides, he and Elizabeth have a deep relationship that I can't tamper with. He even accepts having Elizabeth as his wife. They look cute together," Jaynne mumbled into her arm. Grell stared at Jaynne with an annoyed face.

"I would slap you right now but you're lucky I don't feel like wasting energy on you," Grell leaned against the table and sighed.

"Well that's great to know," Jaynne kept a straight face.

"So you're just going to give up like this?"

"So what if I do. I love him but there's a part of me saying that wrong to interfere with Elizabeth and Ciel's love. He doesn't need someone like me, disgusting habits, horrible temper, spoiled, and weak," Jaynne argued and listed all her bad points. She admitted it, wanting for someone to say that it wasn't true.

"You're right, Ciel doesn't need someone like you," Grell said the opposite of what Jaynne wanted, but then tried to tone down his harshness, "Well, it's your loss. I still think you should at least let him know that you like him."

"Nah, don't want to bother him," Jaynne pouted and slouched. Annoyed, Jaynne was thinking of a way of getting out of here before it gets dark to put her plan into action. Grell got up and rubbed Jaynne's hair as he swiftly stood up next to the window. He pulled off each plank with his might and succeed. The boards squeaked as they came off and dropped to the floor with a loud thud.

"You have that much strength and you never told me?" Jaynne shook her head at Grell, knowing that they could've been out of this room sooner.

"Up we go!" Grell acted like an older brother (or sister?) as he lifted Jaynne up and out of the window. She walked slowly, trying to find her friend and lover.

Jaynne wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come out, she didn't want Grell to see them either. She had mixed feelings. Was she jealous about Elizabeth or sad that Ciel likes Elizabeth or angry that the two were unbreakable? No, she shouldn't not cry. She must always smile no matter what she's going through, suffering or happiness. She must keep smiling so that Ciel would be naïve and wouldn't see the horrible soiled person Jaynne had became.

On the other hand, Rebekka and Ciel hid in the courtyard, behind tall flower beds. They panted from running away as fast as they could though they felt bad for leaving Grell and Jaynne behind. I wonder if Grell is all right, Rebekka tried catching her breath and stopped to think. The two people sat on the ground and stared up into the sky.

"I notice you're always with Grell," Ciel prompted to start a conversation. He didn't know what girls liked to talk about besides love and all the useless things he didn't need.

"Me and Grell? We're… Just friends," Rebekka chuckled nervously as she eyed a pink flower and pulled it from its roots. She felt the petals of the pretty flower and dreamed of a fantasy with Grell. How much she wanted to be next to him right now.

"Friends. Grell doesn't seem to take notice that you have feelings for him. How stupid. Obviously, he's just blinded by Sebastian and other manly man," Ciel tried cheering Rebekka up and she smiled.

"That's why I'm trying to get Grell to look at me and only me. Sebastian is in the way," Rebekka explained, feeling confident about her plan to capture Sebastian now.

"Is that the reason. Well, I suppose I could support your love," Ciel half smiled at Rebekka. She nodded at him and grinned back.

"Rebekka!" a voice bellowed into the air, Rebekka and Ciel tensed up. Who was looking for them? It couldn't have been Sebastian, could it?

"Rebekka! Where are you? Let's start the plan!" Rebekka decided to peek out from the bush and found Jaynne, along with Grell, searching desperately for her.

"Over here!" Rebekka waved as Jaynne jogged toward them. The two girls smiled at each other but something caught Jaynne's eye.

"Oh Ciel! Perfect timing, I need you," Jaynne smirked as she dragged Ciel away. Grell gave a questioning look but Rebekka just shrugged her shoulders. Rebekka walked over to where Jaynne was, somewhere in the forest, and found Ciel tied up.

"Jaynne, what are you doing?" Rebekka kneeled down and examined Ciel. There was an apple in Ciel's mouth as he was being tied up. Jaynne stuck a sign on Ciel's back reading "Free Soul."

"Bait. Of course. Ciel is going to lure Sebastian and we'll capture him with this net!" she brought out a large net made of string. Rebekka's eyebrow cocked up, not very sure the idea was going to work.

"Okay, let's try it," Rebekka hid behind a tree. Jaynne put branches with leaves in her hair, attempting to camouflage herself. Sebastian was cleaning nearby until he heard muffled noises coming from the forest.

"Oh, dear. What is the young master up to now-," Sebastian sighed and looked at Ciel. Sebastian blushed a little, seeing his adorable master tied up like a pig with an apple in his mouth.

"What a cute position you're in," Sebastian teased and bit the other side of the apple. Ciel mumbled something but it was hard to make out for Jaynne to hear. Just as she was going to leap out and capture Sebastian, he had hoisted up Ciel in his arms and jumped away. Jaynne landed on the floor, smacking her face on the grass.

"Ew, grass," Jaynne spat and rubbed her mouth clean, "Dammit Sebastian! Give Ciel back to me! I want to eat him too!" Jaynne cried and shook her fist in the air. Rebekka laughed hysterically at Jaynne's failure.

"Hey, stop laughing. Let's see you try it," Jaynne challenged Rebekka. Rebekka smiled and took over for now. She raced back into the mansion, grabbed two fencing foils, and went to find Sebastian.

"Sebastian Michaelis. I will win against you in a duel," she announced aloud to Sebastian, who was preparing dinner.

"A duel with you," he wiped his hand on his apron, "I find this intriguing." Rebekka didn't have experience in swordfight but she was willing to do anything for Grell. She lunged forward, aiming at Sebastian's chest. He dodged it with a beautiful swipe of his foil and pushed Rebekka's away. She grunted, angry that she missed. She attacked again with full energy and Sebastian was caught off guard. The tip of Rebekka's sword was about to touch the delicate woven vest that Sebastian wore. Grell, who was standing by and witnessing the duel, had a panic attack and jumped on Sebastian.

"No! Don't hurt my Bassy!" Grell squealed and clung to Sebastian's neck. He flung in a circle with happiness also because he was hugging a hot demon.

"Grell! Get out of the way, I'm doing this for you!" Rebekka shouted and waved him away. Grell wouldn't come off Sebastian's neck but Sebastian just sighed.

"I should get back to preparing for dinner. Bocchan would be very disappointed if he's left on an empty stomach," Sebastian stripped Grell off and threw him outside the window. Rebekka stood there with shock written on her face. Her lover was just thrown out the window… She didn't even know if she won or not.

"Looks like you lost too," Jaynne giggled as she walked pass the kitchen. Rebekka's face grew red of shame and clenched her teeth together, hating to admit her defeat.

"Let me try this time. I've got the perfect idea," Jaynne whispered into Rebekka's ear while tiptoeing. Rebekka was tall for Jaynne and it made Rebekka really self-conscious about it, even after Jaynne assured her it was okay to be tall.

"Go ahead, be my guest," Rebekka gave up and sighed, watching her friend's master plan. Jaynne entered the room and stared at Sebastian square in the eye. She glared daggers at him but the two wouldn't move from their spot.

"Is… There something you need, Jaynne?" Sebastian spoke after pouring in some kind of soup into a fancy bowl. Jaynne didn't reply but when Rebekka listened closely, she could her Jaynne whimpering.

"Jaynne?" Rebekka questioned, a bit worried about her. Jaynne's eyes began tearing as she slumped to the floor and cried. Her sobs were loud as it rang throughout the whole mansion. Sebastian had a shocked face as he watched her cry.

"Children are so bothersome," Sebastian mumbled to himself as he bent down next to Jaynne, "What is it that you're crying about?" He patted her hair, trying to calm Rebekka's friend but her cries turned into loud hiccups and snot.

"You're so mean to me," Jaynne tried saying between her cries. Rebekka finally knew that Jaynne was acting and caught up with her plan.

"Y… Yeah! Sebastian, what did you do to her? You're making a girl cry!" Rebekka exclaimed and blamed everything on Sebastian. She was hoping that Sebastian would feel guilty but it would take much more to a demon to be guilty on making a lady cry.

"A butler making a girl cry, I am ashamed but I don't know what I did wrong," he took out a handkerchief and wiped Jaynne's tears away. Jaynne winked, hiding it with pretending it was an eye twitch, at Rebekka, signaling to capture Sebastian. Rebekka knew the signal, grabbed the nearest pot, and knocked on Sebastian's head. He fell the floor with a loud thud and became unconscious. The girls gave a high five to each other and tied him up.

"Yes!" Jaynne cheered and faced Sebastian, "A girl's tears are a guy's weakness." Jaynne turned away and looked at Rebekka, who was thinking hard about where to hide Sebastian.

"Take him to an empty building nearby," Rebekka commanded and helped Jaynne drag Sebastian into a building. It was a few blocks away from the mansion, but they managed along. The girls stuffed the six foot tall man into a small shack and locked the door. They stood on the outside, examining the building. Since they were going to use fire in their plan, Rebekka had already prepared barrels of gasoline close by. Jaynne hauled the barrels over and dumped each one on the concrete building. Rebekka's hand shook as she drew a matchbox from her pocket but Jaynne was waiting for her. She quickly swiped it and we tip caught on fire. Rebekka threw it on the oil soaked shack and watched it catch into a mountain of flames. Who knew Jaynne's plan in capturing Sebastian would be a success. Jaynne wasn't able to retrieve the demon sword from Hannah because Alois didn't want his precious Claude to slick his hand down the Slutty Hannah. Jaynne also agreed and ended up using inferno.

"With this, we finally destroyed our love rival! AGAIN," Rebekka stressed on the last word, reminding Jaynne of their previous failure.

"My, look what we have here. Is this a ritual to set buildings on fire and celebrate?" Sebastian inquired with a curious look on his face .The girls turned around to find Sebastian safe and sound from the fire.

"What is this? Why do you keep escaping? And what did we put in one building?" Jaynne got annoyed that Sebastian miraculously wasn't in the trap. The only laughed as the girls and walked away. Jaynne's mind went crazy as she shook Rebekka's shoulders.

"How? How does he keep doing that? We'll never get Sebastian at this rate!" Jaynne angrily stomped her feet on the ground like a child.

"Don't worry. We'll get him for sure. Patience is virtue… I think." Rebekka put her hand on her friend's back and reassured nothing was impossible. Hopefully, nothing was impossible.
