Chapter 9

''If I may say, young lady, you are fairly attractive,'' I feel uncomfortable under his closed-eye smile and grimace.

''That's enough, Lau!'' Ciel protest and pulls me away from the man.

''No need to be selfish, Ciel, didn't your mother teach you to share your toys...''

Ciel frowns but still has a light blush on his face, ''She is not a toy, she is my tutor, Freedonia.''

''Oh how nice, where is that then?'' Madam Red asks and I freeze, where am I suppose to put a town that doesn't exist!

''She must be from the other side of the pond,'' Lau says and Madam Red narrows her eyes.

''She has a native accent, idiot.''

Before the argument can get anymore heated Ciel steps in, ''If you would please by pass this silly problem.'' Once everyone is calmed down he sits and faces Madam Red.

''I assume you have a reason for coming here out of the blue...''

''What ever do you mean? Can I not come and visit my favorite nephew?'' Madam Red says innocently. Ciel gives her a cold look.

''I'm your only nephew...and besides, you only come whenever you want something.''

''Well, I suppose your right.''

''What is it then?''

''I have take in an orphan boy, who is around your age. I was going to suggest that Sebastian tutor him but perhaps since you have a tutor already, Lavanya could tutor him?''

''Do you even know anything about this boy? His name? Where he came from? Where he is now?''

''My, my, Ciel. Why so many questions?'' Lau pipes in.

''Not now, Lau,'' Ciel says, obviously irritated.

''Anyway, would that be a problem, Ciel? No? Good. I will have him brought in immediately,'' Madam Red continues. ''His name is Alastair, he's around your age, and not to mention, he's right out side.''

Madam Red stands up and walks toward the door quickly as Ciel sits in his chair, dumbfounded, ''Come along, Lau.''

''What just happened?'' Ciel asks as the door closes.

''I believe Madam Red just dumped a orphan boy on you,'' I say, matter of factly.

''Correction. She dumped him on you.''

I stand up out of my seat, almost spilling the tea Sebastian had brought in, ''What?''

''Well you are the tutor. Are you not?''

''I never wanted to be your tutor! You forced me!''

''Forced you? I merely gave you something to do in your spare time.''

''I would rather use my spare time to find out who I am!''

''We know who you are...'' Ciel stands up and walks toward the door.

''Then who am I?''

He turns around, he doesn't smile, he doesn't frown, his face is clear of all emotion.

''You are Lavanya Lancaster, tutor of the Phantomhive estate...'' His eyes twinkle, ''Well, for now anyways.'' And with that he turns and leaves, leaving me to lean back in my chair and sigh.

No way I am getting out of this one, eh?

I look of at Sebastian, his black hair shining in the sun and his red eyes intensely gazing at something as he stares out the window. He is very handsome indeed but-

''You think I am handsome?'' Sebastian asks, turning around and quirking an eyebrow. How did he-?

''How?

''How do I know what your thinking?''

''Yes.''

''I am a demon, I can do many things.''

''Like what?''

''Like this.'' He pushes me up against the wall and leans in next to my ear. ''I've been wanting to do this for awhile...''

He kisses me,and my eyes widen in shock. I leave my arms at my sides for a moment before sliding them up his arms to rest on his shoulders, my eyes widen even more when I see Ciel standing at the door.
