Author Note: Hello guys, I'm back with a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it but first of all I'd like to get a bit serious:
Probably you won't know this man but let me tell you a bit about him. He is Frank Cuesta and he is a Spanish guy who has a show in which he shows animals, how they are and fools around a bit to make it a bit tad funny. He has demanded persons who traded with endangered animals, killed them or beat them. He is married to a model of Thailand called Yuyee. She is going to be sent to prison for being suspect of trade with drugs. She and Frank deny it firmly and many people support them as do I. They believe it was a trap settled by one of the mafias which trade with the animals. I ask for the people who have Twitter account to support her freedom with the hashtag #FreeYuyee. Please, help Frank and his wife to achieve justice.
Now, enjoy the chapter.
Never in my life had I slept better. I curled myself on the bed with the sheets over me and it only took three seconds. I decided to name my new dog Phantom, because Ciel and Sebastian forbid me to call him Ciel Junior and Bassy. Well, that night Phantom slept on the bed with me really content. The best part was that he was warm. Both of us fell asleep in the moment we closed our eyes since we were extremely tired. Next morning I awoke with a sensation which I had to get accustomed.
"Ugh…Damn it; Phantom…Your breath sure is smelly!" I groaned opening my eyes to find him staring at me with his tongue hanging out and tail wagging. "I might tell Sebastian to brush your fangs; that would annoy him."
He barked and I covered my ears. I sure had a headache and a sore body that morning. The demon should have warned me that a complete possession would have these consequences. I admit he was helpful. Now, I must make sure he signs the contract but at the moment let's get some breakfast. Then again I had a really bad problem.
"Ugh! Stupid demon, aren't you supposed to make me walk?!" I called inside my mind and I heard a yawn in my head. "Do you sleep?!"
(Well, duh! Possess a human is also a tiring thing for me. It takes a lot of mental power.)
(Great, genius! How do we move now?!)
(I've got an idea…)
"I can't believe this…" I whispered.
His idea was basically drag my body all over the floor using only my arms to get to the kitchen. Phantom interpreted it as a game so he imitated me leaning on his tummy and moving like me.
"Are you practicing combat maneuvers in case of war, Sir Alexander?" A polite yet sarcastic voice asked and my eyebrow twitched.
"Oh, yeah, it's what I love to do when my body is sore as hell. Like when you spent your lonely demon nights probably raping some defenseless child to then eat him alive." I said back with the same tone.
"Yes, sometimes it's really tiring."
I looked at him with a W.T.F face mixed with horror and crawled back with Phantom following me suit.
"I hope you understand I was simply joking." He smiled and I shivered. (I think its bullshit!)
"Ha, ha, ha! Yeah, you're so funny, Bassy!" I laughed nervously.
"Now speaking seriously, what are you doing out of bed? You should be resting." He said and picked me up by the neck of my shirt as he grabbed Phantom by the scruff of his neck. "Get into bed and don't get out unless you feel ready to combat. An injured soldier is a useless soldier."
"But we're hungry and bored!" I pouted and the dog whined.
"I'll bring you a book and breakfast so stop complaining." He put an end to the discussion throwing us to the bed and closing the door behind him.
Still grumbling lowly I tucked myself back onto the bed and Phantom put his head on my lap. He surely was a good boy. Poor James…That stupid Barrymore and his stupid ambition of power and control were the responsible of this. I hope he gets what he deserves.
"So any new I should know?" I asked grabbing the plate with oatmeal. (Wow, sure he knows how to prepare a magnificent breakfast.)
"Lord Barrymore was found dead after being dragged out of the dungeon with his arm ripped open. We think it was something inhuman because there was an incredible hole on the stone walls." Sebastian explained.
"You should have told me before, this is an important business! I remember you I am the one in charge of security here…Bloody hell, this stuff is good! What did you put on it?" I asked surprised and amazed.
"Cinnamon."
"Ah…Cinnamon…right…So is he dead?" I said between a mouth full and I swallowed. "We aren't leaving until we resolve this, I suppose. Any ideas?"
"Maybe you could give your opinion about this matter." He stated.
"After dealing with you, Grell Sutcliffe that mother fucking bastard, William. and a certain demon inside me I think it's more than probable to have a real Demon Hound pacing around. You said Lord Barrymore's arm was ripped out. Then we should get our new partner to follow the scent and we'll maybe discover some hints that lead us to the murderer or directly we'll find the murderer."
Sebastian glanced at the dog and then back at me. Probably he was debating between doing it or not. Phantom was able to do that but he didn't want to relay on a filthy dog.
"I'll tell young master and we'll decide what to do." He declared and exited the room.
"…" I looked down at my plate. "Did I really give a good idea for once? Maybe my luck is changing for better! Hey! No, no, no, Phantom! It's my food so paws off!"
After finishing my meal I picked up the book Sebastian gave me. It was the Holy Bible…Did he want me to auto-exorcise myself? More probably he did it knowing I hated the religion. But, well it was worth a try…
"Wow, frogs raining from the sky, a guy parting the waters and two towns in which people fucked each other without any worries. The Bible is fucking awesome." I muttered scratching Phantom behind the ears.
I heard a knocking on my door and the butler appeared with a serious face.
"I hope you're feeling better because young master gave us orders. Get up." He ordered.
I stepped out the bed and put my jacket and cape on, also getting my sword and hat. I whistled and Phantom came.
"Which were his exact orders?" I asked with my serious voice.
"He told us to put a good show for him." He smiled darkly and I stopped dead in my tracks.
"The midget boss said what?"
Not knowing what exactly happened, thing that was part of my job; practically not knowing anything, I obeyed. While Sebastian went running at his demoniac speed, Ciel was traveling on my horse with me leading the reins. Phantom was on his lap; no way was I going to leave him at the manor alone.
"Can you tell me at least where we are going?!" I asked exasperated
"Just lead the way and tell your dog to stop licking my face!"
"WOOF!"
I preferred to have him to explain the situation but what I saw cleared most of my doubts. A huge ass white dog with sharp fangs was about to rip Finny into pieces. Weird enough, the demon hound wasn't that scary for me. My fear compared to the one I had when I confronted Grell and Madame Red seemed ridiculous. It was an animal; a big animal but nothing else. It's like a bear only bigger. I damned my heroic moment of yesterday since I couldn't move enough to fight in true combat but I could have a defensive stand against it. Quickly and ignoring the bothering pain I pulled Finny backwards as Sebastian caught the demon's paw.
"Finny, are you ok?" I asked him and he nodded without prying his eyes off Sebastian.
"Will you look at that. How well trained! You even know how to shake hands." Sebastian said with an amused tone looking at the fiery red eyes of the hound. "But I'm afraid, well trained or not you'll have to go!"
Sebastian lifted the demon hound like it weighted the same as a feather. As that happened I took care of the servants putting them at a safe distance of the hound and let him do the work without any worries.
"Come on, this isn't time to be playing with a puppy."
"Surely. I'll finish this all at once." The demon smirked.
The gigantic dog got up and its nose sniffed something which caught its attention. Phantom barked and tried to approach us with his mouth drooling but Bard grabbed him by his collar to keep him safe. I went a bit closer in case it attacked without warning holding the sword up.
"Smells irresistible, doesn't it? This is what you want, right?" Sebastian taunted and pulled from his back a box. "Inukko: the treat no dog can refuse."
"Dog treats!?" We all exclaimed and something clicked on my mind.
"Why do they sound…familiar?" I wondered and rubbed my chin thoughtfully.
"Alex, well done! Here, you can have this!" My brother looked down at me grinning holding a metallic box and I caught it.
"What's this? Innu…Inukko?" I tried to read it since I didn't know how to read properly yet.
"That's right! Inukko: The prizes for the champions! Those are special food for the true knights; no many people can afford them!" He puffed his chest with pride and I looked in awe between him and the box in my hands.
"SO COOL! But, wait. Why does it have a dog on the front?"
"It's a symbol of loyalty, of course. Just like you, my little warrior!" He laughed and ruffled my hair as I smiled with joy.
"That fucking bastard gave me dog treats when I was young?! Bloody hell, I ate them every single day! Hmm…Will they taste the same as ten years ago?" I murmured eyeing the box with hungry eyes.
"Look out, Sebastian!" Mey-Rin called when the hound ran at the demon at top speed.
"There's only one way to properly train a bad dog…"Sebastian began and my mind began to remember a bit more.
"Hold on. Wont' that be…?"
"Punishment and Reward!" Sebastian announced as I exclaimed dumbfounded.
I face-palmed when I understood everything. Angel used that technique to train me as a knight. When I did something wrong he often flicked my forehead or hit the back of my head not too hard but it was still humiliating and a bit painful, but if I did it right he gave me a pat on the back while praising me or handed me an Inukko. My own brother treated me as a freaking puppy!
"Firstly: Reward!" Sebastian announced and did something which freaked me and amused me at the same time.
"What is he doing?" Finny asked confused like everyone.
"I guess this is training?"Mey-Rin said not too sure.
"Nipping at the nose of someone is considerate a reward?" I questioned Bard and he shrugged.
"And now: Punish!"
Sebastian enjoyed that kick he gave to the animal. I pitied it. If I had to support someone who would be the hound because you can give it trades and it'd leave you alone. Sebastian never leaves you alone until he sees you crying for mercy in a pool of your own blood. He changed between showing him a box of Inukko, some scratching on the tummy to punches, kicks and similar in seconds.
"Well, I suppose I asked him to put up a good show." Ciel stated and I glared at him.
"Master, try to put you on the dog's skin: It's horrible."
"Even the rewards?" He asked with a smirk.
"The worst are the rewards…" I shivered. (Ewwww…Never in my life I'd like that demon to scratch my tummy…Ewwww! Fuck, fuck, fuck! Erase that mental image out of my brain!)
"And finally a hug!"
Worse than that guy scratching you it'd be one of his hugs. He grabbed the dog and rocketed himself to the sky to then slam it onto the ground. I bet he reached Lau's homeland; that hole sure is deep.
"Holy shit…"
"Sebastian!" Finny shouted worriedly.
"Emm…hello?!" Bard called inside the hole and only the echo came.
"Alex, get down there to see if he's fine!" Mey-Rin pleaded and I gulped.
In the blink of an eye I had a rope on my hands hanging form one of the walls holding a candle. Don't ask where we had it. Probably the same place Tanaka got his Safari costume.
"Master, if I find diamonds they'll be mine!" I called.
"What?!" He called back.
"IF I FIND DIAMONDS THEY'LL BE MINE!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"YOU FUCKING DWARF, ARE YOU DEAF?!"
"You'll have your salary cut the half."
"Oh, you can hear that don't you?! Stupid kid…What…that sounds like water…Oh no…Oh-FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
I had no time to react. I was launched to the sky by a gigantic column of hot water.
"-UUUUUUUUUCK!" I was caught in the safe arms of someone. "Thank you, Bard."
"No problem, kid!" He grinned." But, hey, where's Sebastian?"
I looked up and pointed to the top of the sprouting column of water. I had a scowl on my face and my arms crossed. I was honestly really jealous.
"This place is supposed to be a resort of the Queen! It needs a central attraction; a place for our guests to relax and forget about their cares. That's what we have here: An actual Hot-spring. "
"Wow! It's amazing!" The servants said impressed.
"If I couldn't find a hot-spring for my master, well, what kind of butler would I be?" He said looking directly at me with a superior face but I wasn't paying attention to what he was saying.
You know it's hard to listen when your worst enemy is holding on his arms a naked, silver haired guy and is now licking his face. Mey-Rin had the nosebleed of her life and I shuddered. The scene was making me really awkward, but I enjoyed the face of Bassy.
"Pluto!" A familiar voice called worriedly and we turned to see Angela.
"What?! The hot guy over here is the Demon Hound?! Are you kidding me?! And put him some pants on, for god shakes!" I exclaimed trying to pry off the sleeping human-dog off me.
It seems the dog was keen on Sebastian as well as me. He seemed to want attention all the time. Phantom got jealous and now I had him all over me too, trying to get the ``intruder´´ out of his territory. My most important task was getting the naked one as far as possible. Angela explained to us that she found Pluto a month ago and found him too adorable. Barrymore used his legend to control the village. The best came when she asked us to keep him in the manor…and asked Sebastian to be his personal trainer!
"Bwahahahahaha! Your face! Your freaking face! Someone snap a picture!" I laughed pointing at Sebastian.
"Punish!"
"Worth it…"I snickered holding the top of my head.
But master ended up keeping Pluto. Now I had two doggies to play with! But I'll make sure to put some clothes on that demon hound…Still we stayed a few more weeks on the village. The villagers believed the curse was lifted off their shoulders and begun to help us with the construction of the hot-spring. I didn't waste my time there. With Phantom by my side and Pluto I had my hands full all the time. That demon of Sebastian passed me his work of dog-trainer. That wasn't going to stop me from relaxing!
"Ah…freaking awesome!" I breathed on the hot-spring. "Doesn't it feel amazing, boys?"
Pluto was on the water paddling around happily and Phantom lied outside next to me. I smiled until I heard a loud surprised squeak.
"Alex, what the hell!?" Ciel shouted and I raised an eyebrow.
"What? Can't I enjoy a bath too?" I asked passing my hands through my short hair, which it was a pity since I'd like to wear it a bit longer.
"Do you know I'm naked, right?!"
"Psst… I've seen that dude naked and I believe you have the same things so you're not that impressive." I snickered pointing at the paddling demon hound.
"It seems you don't get the point…"He growled blushing scarlet red.
"What? That I'm naked in front of you? You're being too shy, master! You were never thought about sexual stuff? Paddle over here, it's time you have the talk."
Alexis Kane: 1. Ciel Phantomhive: 0. This is how you make a noble teenager to leave the hot-spring without touching him! I smirked satisfied and relaxed on the water, but I felt eyes lied on me.
"What do you want, Bassy?"
"Maybe the master didn't notice it while you talked but I did. If I am not mistaken that's a contract mark on your chest."
My smirk intensified. Yeah, now I had a five-pointed star mark but at difference between mine and Ciel's as that mine was that it was inside a circle inside a hexagon. It wasn't blue but bright purple and I had it over my heart. For a second I let him take the control.
"I think it's time to introduce myself, cat-lover. I am David Bell and I'll be your damn nightmare…"
