Hi hi!
So, before we start, I'd like to begin with a-
Erin: Can you just stop talking and start the chapter?
Miu: C-come on now, t-there is n-n-n-no need t-to be so r-r-rude.
Erin: You say that every chapter; you really think that I'm going to stop now?
Miu:...I c-c-can h-hope.
Erin: Hopes don't get you anywhere, kid. Nor do dreams.
Me: But, put them together, and you get one hell of a theme.
Miu:...?
Erin:...Are you serious?
Me: Sorry for wanting to try and be funny, okay?
Erin: Leave that to someone who is good with humor.
Me: I made you, didn't I?
Erin:...What's that suppose to mean?
Me: Well, if you think about it, I did invent the biggest joke in the world.
Miu: Pffffffffffff...
Erin: Oh, so we're playing dirty now, are we?
Me: No, we're starting the chapter!
Erin:...What? No, you can't just start the chapter after starting a war-!
Me: ONWARDS!
Erin yawned, the sun rays hitting her right in the face, causing her to groan, "God, someone turn the sun off."
"I may be far God, but I cannot close the binds either, darling."
Erin couldn't help but smile lightly, she knew that voice even with her eyes closed, "Aw, but you can be a real angel at times."
She yelped, as she was pushed off the bed, right onto the carpet. At least the sun wasn't in her eyes anymore, "Darling, don't you ever insult me like that again." Sebastian groaned, before poking her nose, "Besides, you're the angel here."
Erin grinned, standing up, "Because angel's spit fire. Who knew?" She laughed, before looking around, rubbing her head, "Wait a minute…when did I get here?"
From the bed, Sebastian slowly rose, stretching ever so slightly, "I found you outside, out cold. That boy, I believe his name was Makra, was able to carry you into the dorm."
Erin grinned, "I take it you didn't like that too much."
"I nearly killed him right then and there." Sebastian confessed, throwing Erin her dress, before locking her into a hug, "I don't like sharing what is mine."
Erin shook him off, throwing off her shirt, before sliding off her shorts, "I don't belong to you."
"Darling, I love a sinner more then anyone, but you can't lie to me." Sebastian smiled, staring at the wall with respect, even when everything was telling him otherwise.
When Erin finally pulled the dress on, she sighed, giving him a look, "I wouldn't want to admit it now, would I? That would make your head inflate like your ego."
"If you're the one inflating it, I wouldn't have an issue."
Erin sighed, before picking up a thin red ribbon, "Hey, Sebs; could you help me out?"
"But of course." Sebastian said, walking over, "What kind of a mate would I be if I couldn't help me girl?"
"I never have been a fan of that word; I'd prefer boyfriend." Erin sighed, before handing him the ribbon, "Do you know how to tie a braid?"
"But of course." Sebastian murmured, taking her hair, before muttering, "I don't really care for the word 'boyfriend'. A boyfriend has a chance to leave; I'll be with you forever and longer."
"As much as I'd love that, I'm sure the young master comes first." Erin muttered, her tone a bit bitter and harsh, only to sigh, as Sebastian back up, "I don't recall ever wearing a braid before; how do I look?"
When he hugged her from behind, she had all the answers she needed, "Just when I thought you couldn't get any cuter." He whispered, about to go on…
…When a knock came to the door.
Erin sighed, playfully pushing the butler back onto the bed, "Stay, good boy." She grinned, before creaking the door open.
One the other side, a winded Jack stood, looking like he'd seen a ghost then ran a mile, "God, Erin; did you hear?"
"I just woke up." Erin deadpanned.
"Last night, the killer struck again." Jack growled lightly, "Hit the Kikimano's house. Zonami's older cousin, Toshi, was killed. Apparently, Zonami was badly inured too, she's in the hospital right now."
Erin's eyes widened, as she held her head, "…That's…Well…Wow." Was all she could manage.
Jack nodded, before growling, "So much help the queen's guard dog is lending us right now."
Erin gave him a look, "Don't be like that. I'm sure that this guard dog fellow is doing what he can."
Jack growled lightly, "Look, I know that you're not worried, heck, someone like you probably won't care; but I'm worried."
Erin gave him a look, "Buddy, listen; you just gotta calm down. Fat chance the killer will go for you, so go ahead and put your panties back on."
"I'm not worried about me! I'm not that self centered!" Jack hissed, before looking down, rubbing the back of his head, "I'm worried about Lucy. "
Erin grinned, "Are you and Lucy…A thing?"
Jack's face erupted with color, as he pulled at the white dress shirt collar, "What? Of course not! I man, wow, come on, bro!" He grinned, only to sigh, "…Okay, so I like her. Now what?"
Erin sighed, "Do you not see the signs? She likes you right back!"
Jack shook his head, "Why would she be into someone like me!? She just so smart…and funny…and pretty-You get the point." Jack growled when Erin gave him the eyes.
"You just need to say it loud and proud." Erin said, patting his back, before sighing, "Look, I need to get ready for school. If you need my help, we can chat in class; deal?"
Jack nodded, "You promise not to leak a single word of this to Lucy?"
"I swore not to tell a single soul." Erin nodded, before closing the door. Erin giggled, "But, of course, I won't tell a single soul; I said nothing about not telling a whole group of people."
Sebastian gave her a look, only to shake his head, smiling, as he handed her a bag "This is for Judo; it came in last night. I also decided to pack with you a few notebooks, and a pencil case."
Erin smiled, placing a kiss on his cheek, "Thanks, honey."
Sebastian smiled right back, "That, I can work with." He muttered, pressing a passionate but short kiss to her lips, before walking out of the room, "Come along now; darling. I need to get the young lord awake and ready to go. Perhaps you can go and socialize?"
Erin gave him look, walking past, "I'm your lover for one second, and a child the next."
"Darling, you're both." Sebastian muttered, walking in and closing the door to Ciel's room before Erin could do anything.
"Asshole." She grumbled, pulling her jacket closer to her skin, before going into the bag. A the very top, her cap sat, staring her in the face. Erin grinned, pulling it on, just as a certain girl walked by, "Morning, Lacy."
"Lucy." She corrected out of habit, "So, why are you up early?"
"Soren's butler woke me up." Erin sighed, before shouting, "He can be a real stuck up jerk some times!"
She swore she could hear a certain navy blue-haired boy laugh, before Lucy sighed, "I wish I could have brought my maid with me. Her name was Adrienne Alzipher; but she would let me call her Adri. My parents were always so busy, but Adri was always there for me."
Erin nodded, smiling, "Really?"
Lucy nodded, grinning, "And then there's this other maid, Sylvia Nonnax; now she was a total klutz. Dropped EVERYTHING."
Erin giggled, "I know a girl like that." She sighed, before watching as Ciel walked out of his room, "Well, nice talking to you; but I gotta bounce. The young asshole of a lord needs to be pampered."
Lucy nodded, waving as she walked off, before Ciel stopped behind her, "What was that all about?"
"Never mind that." Erin waved off, walking for the limo, "We need to get to school."
Ciel nodded, not to far behind, before sighing, "…Erin, can I ask you something?"
"Hm? Sure, shoot."
"How do you managed to be so…How would I put this…" Ciel sighed, as Erin opened the limo door for him, closing it behind him before skipping towards the shot gun seat, "How do you…managed to be so likeable?"
Erin tuned around, giving him a look, "What's that suppose to mean?"
Ciel gave her a look, counting them as he went, "You're annoying, arrogant, loud, stupid, you don't think, you only act-."
"-I think she gets it, my lord." Sebastian cut in, before whispering, "It would seem that he has forgotten 'down right cute'."
Erin suck her tounge out, before looking around, "Hm, well…Let me think; I'm just a likeable person." She shrugged, "I honestly don't see whatever you guys might; but, for whatever reason, people like me."
Ciel huffed, rubbing his head, "…I'm likeable, right? I mean, I'm a member of the host club."
Erin grinned, turning around, holding out her hand, "Well, let's see; you're stubborn, a pain in the ass, cold hearted, emotionless-."
"Am not!" Ciel scowled, before giving the back of Sebastian's head a look, "Sebastian, I order you; tell me my best attributes!"
Erin grinned, giving the butler a smirk, "This has got to be good."
Sebastian gave her a look, before listing off, "Well, for starters; master does make for a good looking little girl in a corset-."
"SEBASTIAN, WE AGREED NEVER TO SPEAK OF THIS!" Ciel screamed, as Erin howled with laughter.
"Oh God…I'm dead." Erin huffed, coughing as she tried to breathe in, before lightly punching Sebastian's shoulder, "Nice one."
Sebastian nodded, "Naturally."
Ciel gagged, before ripping the door open, just as the limo came to a stop outside the school, "Come on then, we've arrived."
Erin grinned, getting out of the car, before poking his cheek, "Sure thing, you little girl."
Ciel scowled, giving her a dirty look, "Well, at least in the host club, I have a chance."
"No, you gotta that wrong." Erin said, shaking her head, "Soren has a chance; you, on the other hand…Well, I heard that you're a bratty type, huh?"
Ciel scowled, "Am not."
"Oh, really?" Erin wondered, before looking around, "Hey, Miu!"
The timid girl jumped, looking around, before sighing as her eyes landed on Erin, "G-good morning, E-Erin."
Erin nodded, "Listen, I need to ask; what type is Soren?"
Miu flashed Soren a small smile, before responding, "The g-g-guests have labeled h-h-h-him as t-the bratty t-type."
Ciel scowled, "And why is that?"
"Do you really need the answer to that?" Erin sighed, thanking Miu, before walking off, "Look, Ciel; why is it that you only care about it now?"
Ciel shrugged, "Well, It's simply because, if I am to stay in a school, surrounded by other kids, I should at least try to make myself…"
"Likeable? Funny? Nice?" Erin asked, grinning.
Ciel scowled, "No."
"Oh?" Erin shot back, "Do you need a wider selection?"
Ciel shook his head, walking into the school, "Never mind; I don't need your help with the matter."
Erin sighed, before stopping in front of him, "You see, this right here is your problem! You don't know how to accept help unless you're played!"
"What on earth is that suppose to mean!?" Ciel shouted, as they walked into homeroom.
Erin gave him a look, "…You know what, screw it, I give." Erin murmured, before flopping onto her desk, holding her head.
If the day wasn't already shit, it was going to get a hell of a lot worse real quick.
Right as school ended, Erin was ready to just get out of class, only to have Lucy slide into the seat next to her, "Hey, buddy."
"Yo." Erin murmured, getting up, "Sorry, but I've got to go and get to judo."
"Ah yes. Makra and Kan got into the judo team; right?"
"Yeah."
"The people we hung out with last night, right?"
"…Right?"
Just then. Lucy grinned, "Aren't you happy I invited you from the host club?"
Erin snickered, "Sorry, that was Aaron; not me."
"Oh? And how would you know that if you've never been to the host club before?"
Erin could feel the nervous sweat sliding down her back, "I'm not deft, I know what goes on in this school."
Just then, Lucy grinned, before shrugging, "Whatever. But, if you ask me, I think Aaron is gay for Soren."
"I AM NOT!" Erin shouted, only to cover her mouth, watching as Lucy cackled, "…You're evil…"
Lucy grinned, "The worse." She agreed, only to push her arm, "Don't worry, Erin; your cross-dressing secret is safe with me."
Erin shook her head, before bringing her voice down to Aaron's tone, "I hope you weren't looking forward to me seducing you, love."
They shared a laugh, before Erin walked off, holding her bag close to her chest. She had to admit, he school was a bit daunting when Ciel and Sebastian weren't with her, but at the same time, she'd have to get use to it. You can only have so much in life.
In her daze, she didn't notice what was going on, until her shoulder collided with someone else, causing her to spill her bag to the ground.
"Crud." Erin growled, moving to pick up her bag, only to see that a hand beat her too it.
"I'm so sorry." The voice said, helping Erin back up, "I wasn't looking."
"It's fine; I was trapped in the prison known as my head." Erin murmured, earning a laugh from the stranger.
He stopped for a moment, "Are you…Erin? Erin Piece?"
"Yeah. And who might you be, stranger?"
The boy laughed, his pale blue eyes filled with kindness, "The name is Yamaha." He grinned, before bowing, "A your service."
Erin couldn't help but giggle lightly, "Well, nice to meet you, good sir. But, as much as I'd love to get to know you more, I've got a tournament to get to."
Yamaha nodded, his grin still wide, "If I may ask, where might you be going?"
"I'm a part of the judo team." Erin said.
Yamaha laughed, "What a surprise! I am heading over to the gym too!"
Erin grinned, tilting her head to the side, "You're on the judo team too?"
"Heck yeah, joined last year." Yamaha said, before throwing his hand up dramatically, "They use to call me Happy feet, since my fighting style made me look like I was dancing."
Erin couldn't help but laugh, as she walked for the gym, Yamaha right next to her, "Wow, nice nickname. Where I'm from, I've got a lot of nicknames."
"Wait, let me guess." Yamaha looked her over, "Did they call you…Piece?"
Erin gave him a look, "No, that's just silly."
"But that's your last name!"
"My last name is silly!" Erin joked, opening the doors, "I mean, what did you do to get a last name like that?"
"That's what I'm asking you!" Yamaha joked, before looking around, "Listen, I need to go and get changed, but maybe I can show you the ropes of the team."
Erin laughed, but not because of his "Generosity", no, he thought that she was a helpless little girl, "I think I can hold my own." Erin winked, before dashing off to the girl's changing room.
She nearly ate steam, as she walked in, closing the door behind her. She ducked her head, not wanting to be noticed, before going into an open changing room.
As soon as she ripped the gross yellow dress off, she let out a pleased sigh. She hated that thing. Looking into the bag, she noticed how Sebastian left a note on top of a folded set of a white tank top and short biker shorts. Erin grinned, picking it up, before reading it out softly, "Dear darling, I do hope that these come in handy. And, if you could, don't change out of those shorts- My God, that demon." Erin sighed, both irritated yet giddy.
"What demon?"
Erin jumped, quickly turning around to see a certain Vivian standing there, arms crossed as she leaned on the lockers, "God, you scared me, Vivi."
"Never call me that again." She said, remaining as stone cold as ever, "And you didn't answer my question."
Erin grinned, holding the note, "Oh, you know; boyfriend. He can be a real devil at times."
Vivian nodded, before looking around, "…So, if I may ask; have you seen Oscar around?"
Erin shook her head, "No, last I saw him was during homeroom; but he had to leave early."
Vivian nodded, before sitting down on the bench, Erin pulling at her tank top to make sure it fit, "So that's what happened. He told me that he was going down to the hospital to visit Zonami."
Erin winced, "Oh, I heard about what happened."
Vivian nodded, "During the attacks, many people have been hospitalized. Zonami's lucky; most of the others are in comas, the rest are on there death beds."
Erin winced, rubbing the back of her neck, "…Damn."
Vivian nodded, looking around, before sighing, throwing her hand out, "Look…I guess you could say that I'm sorry, I wasn't too kind on our first meeting. I am Vivian Fiala."
"Erin Piece." Erin said, shaking her hands, only to look down at the white bandages wrapped around her hands, "Hey, are your hands okay?"
Vivian nodded, taking her hand back, "They are. " She insisted, before shaking her head, "Look, I know you have questions, but if we don't get out of here soon, we'll be late. Believe me, Coach Tanya won't be happy."
"Coach Tanya?" Erin questioned, pulling her gui on, before giving Vivian a questioning look, "You talking about Aspen or Faden?"
Vivian's eyes widened, "Don't call them by there first names!" She shouted, before pulling her hair, reapplying her calm and cool demeanor, "They might not have Japanese first names, but those two are Japanese. Rule number one, you treat them with respect."
Erin gave Vivian a look, walking back out into the gym, "Look, I know how to treat someone with authority." Erin grinned, waving, "Hey, Faden; how's today?"
Vivian winced, as if she expected Faden to fire lasers out of her eyes, as the little girl skipped over, grinning, "Hey, Erin!"
Vivian watched with wide eyes, as they fist bumped. Erin grinned, "So, where's your brother?"
"Right behind you."
Erin jumped, holding her chest, as she looked up to the senior behind her, "God, Aspen; you fucking scared me!"
Vivian winced when Erin swore, watching as Aspen laughed, "I'd love to stick around and chat; but we have a practice to start. If you'll excuse me." Aspen bowed out, before walking off, assembling the team.
Faden followed after, Erin right behind, only to catch a look at Vivian's face, "What?"
Vivian gave Erin a look, "You just chatted with both of the Tanya siblings; and you don't have a black eye." She said, her voice still monotone, "…How?"
Erin shrugged, "I'm likeable!" She said, before dashing off to join in on the warm ups.
She grinned, watching all the other members struggle with it, puffing her chest out. How hard could it be?
Very hard.
Fun fact, warm ups are not easy.
At all.
"HURRY IT UP, PIECE!"
Erin groaned, pushing herself back into a push up position, arms beginning to quiver. She was NOT use to this. It wasn't the strength that was hard, no, it was the fact that she had little to no idea of what she was doing.
You know how sad it is, no to really know how to do a push up right?
Erin looked to the side, adjusting herself for what seemed to be the millionth time, before a giggle came from next to her.
Looking to the side, she could see Yamaha sweating, and yet, he managed to shoot her a grin, only to have Faden walk past, pressing her foot into his back, "YOUR FORM IS ALMOST AS BAD AS PIECE'S!"
Erin grinned, shooting Faden a smile, which was quickly returned, only to have Faden turn around, "YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT, MR. CLOCKET!"
Erin grinned, pulling herself up, as Aspen shouted, "Alright, are you babies ready for the real stuff?" He asked, before grinning, "Kan, front and center."
As Kan walked up, Erin walked over to stand by Yamaha, "So, what do I need to know?"
"About what?" Yamaha asked, watching as Aspen explained a throw.
"The rules of this sport." Erin asked, wincing along with everyone else when Kan was thrown over Aspen's back.
"You throw your opponent, basically. Straight on your back, and you get the winning point."
"Yeah, what about other means of fighting?"
"…I'm sorry? That's against the rules."
"…Why though?"
Yamaha gave her a look, only to shake his head, "You'll learn as we go on."
"Any questions?"
The two looked up to see the demonstration over, most of the other team shaking there heads.
"Very well. Now, all of you just need to find partners to work this out with."
Yamaha looked to Erin, about to ask, only to have a certain someone walk over, "Why, hello; Yamaha." She smiled, before giving Erin a look, "Piece."
Yamaha grinned, turning to the girl, "Hana! I haven't see you in a while!"
Hana laughed, "Well, I just got in! Aspen was kind enough to allow me onto the team."
Erin knew there was more bullshit then hit, but she wasn't in the mood to ask.
She could only watch as Hana dragged him off, before looking around, "Come on, who doesn't have a partner?"
"I'd be more then happy to wrestle with you, sweetheart."
Erin cursed in her head, turning to face the pervert, "Keito! What a pleasant surprise! Since when were you on the judo team?"
Keito grinned, looking around, "Oh, you know; since last year. My big brother, Kaito; got me a spot on the team." He spat out his big bother's name as if it were a disease, before that lustful look crossed his face, "But, I can't stay mad at him when there are so many other hot pieces of ass here."
Erin shook her head, pushing him back, "Hands off, pal; I'm not working with you."
Keito scowled, "The only other person left is-."
"-I'll take a chance with ANYONE before I spar with you." Erin grumbled, turning to walk away…
…Only to walk right into Kage.
Erin gulped, forcing a grin to her face, "Hey, Kage; long time, no see!"
"…"
Erin nodded, rubbing the back of her head, "So…You got a partner yet?"
"…" Kage stared at her long and hard, only to shake her head, her orange beanie making it that much harder for Erin to really take her seriously.
"Well, what do you know!? Me neither!" Erin grinned, throwing her arm over her shoulder, only to have the Kage death glare fixed on her, "…Heh…So, I'll work with ya."
"…" Kage looked around, as if she noticed the shortage of partners as well, before nodding.
Erin grinned, giving Keito a look, before watching as he walked off to an older version if himself, before facing Kage, "So, Kage; I wasn't really paying attention, so, if you could just fill me in on-AHHH!"
She didn't get a chance to finish, as Kage grabbed her arm, before quickly throwing her over her shoulder, directly on to her back.
Erin groaned, giving the over bearing Kage a look, "…Oww…"
Kage shrugged, before picking her up single handedly, looking Erin over with a blank expression, "…"
Erin sighed, holding her head, "This is gonna be a LONG practice."
Yamaha grinned, before bowing to Faden, "Sorry, coach; but can I go and take a call? My sister's gonna be worried."
Faden nodded, giving him a look, "Make it quick."
Yamaha nodded, smiling, before dashing for the changing room.
Once inside, he slipped the phone out of his bag, dialing the number, before grinning, "Hey, sis."
"Took you long enough. So, you got your eye on the target?"
"Yeah, I met her."
"And?"
"She's strong, but not to head smart. Knowing her, from what I've got, she'll jump into a problem before thinking."
"Think we can do the same thing to her as we did to Miu?"
Yamaha laughed, holding his head, "Jeez, I wish. I can try, but judging by how she acts, she's taken."
"Then rip that relationship to shreds!"
Yamaha grinned, "I'll try it your way, but I also have a little something extra in mind. Believe me; we'll get to her. We just need some dirt on her first."
"Dirt like that isn't found outside! What do you plan to do!?"
Yamaha smiled again, but this time, there was nothing nice about it. It was as inviting as a shark grinning, "I have friends; Aiko. I'll get something; ill then; it's the little things the add up. But, while we're at it, can you do me a favor?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Call up our old cousin Trancy; we could use his help, and he owes me a favor."
"I haven't seen ol' Jimmy since his father's funeral! Not to mention that butler he has."
Yamaha sighed, "Sis, you have a boyfriend."
"And so? Keito has his fun, I want a turn!"
Yamaha groaned, "Sure, yeah; whatever; just do it quick. If I remember, Alois has all sorts of dirt. Maybe, if you can do it, invite him over; we've got work to do."
SO, who wanted some Yamaha?
Cause to bad, you're getting him.
Keep him, I don't want him back.
I know someone wanted a bit of Alois, so here, you can take the slutty type too.
Erin: Oh, yes please. Get rid of that thing.
Miu: W-who is t-t-this Alois?
Erin: You don't want to know; and trust me, his butler's worse.
Miu:...W-whats wrong with t-t-them?
Me: Oh, nothing; it's just that Alois was Erin's husband-to-be, while his bltuer, Claude-
Erin: Don't you dare fucking say it.
Me: Don't say what? Don't talk about how Claude was your first-
Erin: Hey, shut up! My story arc is over!
Miu: *Has popcorn*
Me: And so? I think that Miu would still like to know that the truth is that Claude was your first crush!
Erin:...This stays between us. Last thing I need is Sebastian to know and go all "Angry-demon".
Miu: Sebstian's scary.
Erin:...What makes you say that?
Miu: He's t-t-t-t-tall.
Me:...
Erin: Miu, you're short. EVERYONE is taller then you.
Miu: I k-know.
Me: Wow, mean.
Erin: What made you think I ws nice? Miu is a short Japanese Asian; I'm just stating facts.
Miu: W-while being r-r-really racist.
Erin: The best jokes are the racist ones.
Me: Stop before we get more haters.
Erin:...What do you can an African American swimming?
Me: Okay, we're done.
So...
Loved it?
Hated it?
