Authors note: Alright so I got a picture of Sorasaki up. The link is on my page. For all those who have been waiting for me to update, i'm sorry for the wait. Lots of stuff has been happening resently . new developments on moveing back home,mean dad's girlfriend, TCAP and such. But thank you in advanced for those who waited!
p.s. I realized in my story I made ciel 13 even through this is post manga. I'll be sure to fix that.
Disclaimers: I don't own anything except my O.C.(S) and the plot. 3 (or any song if i ever use one. Which I'll indicate as mine or someone else)
SORASAKI'S PROV:
" of course, Ciel, you do understand that most if not all of my business is based on how the public views me. People do not like it if they believe they won't get anything out of a deal... flaunting your power is the only way to survive in trading industry." Carmine says thoughtfully.
"Yes it seems people are very... compliant with that idea." Ciel nods
I notice the glint in his eye as Carmine comes up with a plan. ah hell... "you're not one to through parties, yes?"
" I will go to them if I must but yes, I don't plan them often." Ciel says.
I sigh already knowing where this was going... and by the look on Sebastian's face he did also.
"well! Why don't you and I plan a party! I wish to see how you handle your self in front of my business partners. I don't wish to be in connection with someone who can't talk the talk as they say." carmine grins " I'll be more then willing to be your partner if you can!"
I roll my eyes THIS IS GOING TO BE A DISASTER... Carmine had always been one to think that the way you held yourself to the public was always first priority. Ciel, it was obvious, didn't care much beyond people not knowing he nor his business was corrupt in any since.
" Alright, Mr. Whitewood, I will agree with this if it may help..." Ciel says not sharing carmine's grin. I was just a bit shocked by him agreeing.
" Of course." Carmine stands reaching out his hand.
Ciel does the same. Though I felt queasy the pit of my stomach. I couldn't help but wonder if being near Ciel was really the best thing right now. I glance over at Sebastian on one side there's a fire demon I'd really rather not have against us and the other there is the off chance that my earlier worry about gaining foes by being near Ciel...
SEBASTIAN'S PROV:
After lunch the two went back to the study to work out all of the details of the party. While Sorasaki and I went to work on dinner.
"Carmine doesn't like sweet things." the little fox notes as I work on dessert. She on the other side of the long counter top, as far from me as possible, making the meal.
" I see, then I'll cut the recipe down accordingly."
Sorasaki nods working on the Misu soup and Udon noodles with fried egg, chives and pork. I sweat drop.
She glances up noticing my stare "What? ...Ah, Carmine likes most Japaneses dishes so three times a week I chose a dish to make. It seems meat is a very big thing for the English and I figured Ciel might appreciate the extra seasoning of the chives." I see her flinch wondering if I could use any of that against her. Deciding not she quickly looks back down at her work.
I notice how careful (?) she was as she cooked a dish native to her land very unlike the almost rude and lazy way she acts any other time. I grin Hmm
"my my the Japaneses are very... concerned with there food, no?"
"and?" she glances up not liking my tone
I shrug. I see a vain pop in her forehead. She curses under her breath " I hate your kind... always trying to be smart ass's. You just want to see me worry. If you have something to say say it."
I grin true.
suddenly a load bang vibrates through the kitchen.
Both sorasaki and I turn and look at the door. She with a mortified look and I just a bit worried what is wrong with this place? Seems the young master's mansion isn't the only one with problems...
"now what?" Sorasaki screams no trace of the earlier serenity on her face. Though it seems she answered her own question as both she and I get a whiff of cherry's in the air. "ah that's what happened..." she putts the finishing touches on the meal and leaves the room with murder fuming off her like an aura.
SORASAKI'S PROV:
"EIJI! I'm gonna kill you for what you did to the wall! Do you know how hard it is to fix something like that with out bothering quests?" I slam open my bedroom door to find the three tailed fox curled on my bed. He glances up at my approach.
"Kon'nichiwa, sora no bara*." the little silver earring glows as he 'speaks'.
"what are you doing here?" I demand placing my hands on my hips.
"visiting.." he grins as he changes into the same very tall very tan, and no dough a, man i'd grown up with.
I sigh and roll my eyes not really sure if Eiji's broad shoulders would fit in carmines shirt. "come on Eiji I don't care but you know its immoral to be naked in front of a women. A bound and married one at that."
"but for how long...?" Eiji murmurs
" what?"
"nothing much" Eiji smiles grabbing the blanket and placing It over himself. Ah good enough...
~...~
I sat and talked with and beat Eiji senseless for a good ten minuted more before I made him change into a fox and wait for me to get back from dinner.
As I walked down the hall I glance at the many portraits that adorned the wall. I never really paid much attention to them except the last night when I caught Sebastian looking at them. They were well made by any standers but...
My eyes wounder to one in particular of Eiji and the beautiful blond women he had been bound to. Large blue gray eyes the same shade as carmines stare back at me. Eyes that were now shut forever... I gulp as I force the lingering thoughts from my head and tear my eyes from the pair.
I continue to the dinning hall and my ears pick up the soft shut of the study door. I couldn't help but let my eyes wounder to the long hallway as I turn the corner... I wounder if Eiji misses her?
EIJI'S PROV:
I glance out at the beloved cherry blossoms that adorn the yard. Laying down I rap my well deserve tails** around me curling up to sorasaki's pillow. The smell of cherry's, mimicking my own, flooded my nose. Hmm I wounder when their dinner ends? Its so dull here without little Sorasaki...
the mansion was large, Bigger then her's had been, though the halls stunk of many irritating humans, a demon, and poor lonely Sorasaki. It irked me. The only thing that was nice here (besides Sorasaki herself) was her large garden. Sorasaki is a lot like her... always one that loved flowers...
my ears perk up and I glance at the door as I hear chairs at the dinning table being pulled out. I grin as I hear my target sit down still playing naive rich boy planing their little party. This should be fun. Yet My grin falters when I look over to see a blood stained hand bandage on the lamp table next to the bed. I eyes narrow hump... very fun indeed...
Kon'nichiwa, sora no bara – Hello, the ski's rose (nickname for Sorasaki)
well deserved tails – kitsune's grow more tails with age and experience. Even though Eiji looks younger the carmine he's about 300 years old ( start with one gains a tail every 100 years)
Author's note: alright, new character 3. personally I love Eiji. He'll be a big part of the story from now on and if its not too much to ask I'd like to get more reviews about what you think of my own characters (or if Ciel and Sebby are out of character please tell me :) ) its always good to hear what my readers think because that helps with making sure I'm doing this right. I think Im going to bump the review requirement to 2 new reviews. Summer break is coming up soon so I'll be able to right more.
