Not a long chapter

Chapter Nine

Phantom Image

"Phantomhives servants are clearly starting to annoy me." Aurora glanced up from the book in her hand. Alibaster had been the one speaking, staring out the window as he drank from his glass. "And not just them, but the brat as well. He's an idiot."

Victor sighed, sitting down across from the woman. He understood what Alibaster was talking about. Ciel had assigned the servants to take a photo of Sebastian that revealed what is most precious to the subject. It showed the dead. They had been trying to take a picture of Sebastian all day. They had even tried to take a picture of Aurora but Alibaster quickly put that to ends. Sebastian had been evading them as well, in the most funniest of manners.

They were in the library, Sebastian close by as he dusted and took care of some things. All four of them were completely aware of the three servants hiding behind a book case and Alibaster was trying to chase them out without actually letting them know that their cover was blown.

It wasn't working.

"Aurora, can I ask you to please replace your books in the right area when you are done reading them." Sebastian called over his shoulder.

The woman glanced up with a frown, her eyes slightly narrowed. "You seriously did not just make that comment to me, did you?" She asked him. "You know very well that I-" She was cut off by the library door bursting open and a naked man running it, jumping on her and settling his face to her's as he ran his tongue over her cheeks.

"Ahh! Pluto! Put some clothes on!" Victor grabbed the color around the man's neck and tried to pull him off of her but Pluto whined, holding onto the woman as hard as he could.

Alibaster was laughing as Sebastian chuckled. "It seems he likes cat's a bit too much."

"We are to have a guest this afternoon," Sebastian began to explain. "Perhaps the three of you will be able to take care of the pooch until afterwards."

Alibaster almost had his tea come squirting out of his nose. "You seriously did not just ask us that."

"Of course, I can have the other three take care of him, but Pluto seems to have taken an attachment to the lady here. He might run off searching for her instead of listening to orders and staying put."

"Have the other three take care of him," Aurora told him, standing up. Pluto slid off to the floor, staring up at her in confusion. "I don't want anything to do with it."

…

…

…

"How in the world did I get hooked up with this?" Aurora hung her head as Pluto happily pranced beside her.

The woman had been watched as Finny tried to drag the dog, now in his 13-foot-form. The dog had not wanted to leave the manor and with Finny's strength he was dragged behind him…until his fire breath had burnt the leash in half and he took off running to the manor again. She had arrived barely in time to save Sebastian and his little cat friend from being interrupted.

Alibaster was laughing at the woman as he walked beside her. Victor had stayed behind at the manor to help Sebastian take care of Paul Jones when he arrived.

"He just likes you, Aurora. You should feel happy."

"Happy over a naked dog-man that loves to rub all over me?" She growled.

"One would think that most women would be."

Aurora sighed, hanging her head as she finally paused at the large lake behind the Phantomhive house. "I just hope that all of this is over soon."

The three of them stayed out by the lake for an hour or two, watching as Aurora threw large pieces of bark for Pluto to go fetch, until Victor arrived to bring them back to the manor. He informed them of a plan that Ciel and the others had come up with, Lau involved as well. Aurora hung her head and decided to stay out of it, just watching from her bedroom window. Alibaster joined her.

"They're all morons." She sighed again as Pluto's howl went off through the night as the others set their objects into place.

"Yes, well, that wasn't something hard to figure out now, was is? It's kinda hard to miss it when you meet them. After all, Ciel is still just a child, no matter how hard he tries to convince himself and the others that he's not."

(FYI, Ciel annoys the shit out of me. I would have killed him a long time ago)

The huge explosion went off, catching their attention to behind the house as the dust and rubble went off. Sebastian had saved Ciel, no doubt about that. The fireworks then went off from the dragons as they got ready to take the picture.

"I swear to god that the two of them are gay," Alibaster sighed at the pose Sebastian and Ciel were in.

"Trust me," Aurora grinned. "Crow is not gay."

"And you know this from first hand. I have forgotten just how far back you and the other demon go back. You were even together with my mother and her brother all those years ago." He then frowned. "Even after he killed my uncle."

Aurora closed her eyes. "Sebastian is stronger than me, but not faster. I will not allow him to harm you or Victor when the time you slay the brat comes."

"Good." Alibaster turned to leave the room. "I would expect nothing less from the likes of you, Auntie."

Aurora sighed and closed her eyes as the door shut. Everything was becoming a pain as of late, making Aurora double think everything. She didn't know how long she laid there in bed that night, thinking over everything that would happen in the future when Alibaster finally decided to rid Ciel of his life, when there was whining outside of her bedroom window. It didn't take too long for her to figure out who it was.

"Go away!" She hissed at the naked man pressed against her window, begging for entrance. Her order was ignored and so, she in turn, tried to ignore him. It didn't last very long. She finally gave in and opened her window. Pluto hopped in with a happy bark before curling himself up on the foot of her bed. She stared at him for a moment before crawling back into bed herself, not really carrying at the moment as the dog nuzzeled closer to her side as they both fell to sleep.
