Wow, that funeral was an elegant affair, buckets of grandeur. Unfortunately, Undertaker couldn't bury Madam Red due to a slight disability. (*coughbeenburiedinsaltcough*) so Shi. and I did it in exchange for Cheesecake. Well actually, Shi did most (all) of it, I just watched.

Once we had done burying Madam Red, Ciel walked up to us and asked us 'Do one more thing for me and I'll double the Cheesecake you get, Shi'

'So that's like 3 full Cheesecakes?

'7. You saved my aunt all those years back. You deserve this.'

Both of us were taken aback by his generosity and we basically agreed to do whatever the hell he wanted. Ciel looked bored and slightly embarrassed, and to be honest, I'd never actually seen him be this nice towards someone else. We followed him to wherever he was going, and we entered a small, unnoticeable part of the graveyard. A coffin was perched on top of a small piece of ground with a headstone marked with the name of a murdered prostitute on it.

'You want me to bury this? Well, I might have to hold you out for 10 Cheesecakes...'

Ciel scowled.

'Fine, fine 7 will do fine.' Shi muttered.

'You'd best bury this properly. Then I'll go for 10. Each'

'Wow, really! Awesome!'

Ciel walked off and said he expected us at the carriage in half an hour at the most. And, because I was so tired after doing nothing all day and lying down a lot, I let Shi handle this one. I mean, it was such hard work doing nothing all day! I'll get Sebastian to make me some Cheesecake later anyway, I'm sure he won't mind. Speaking of Sebastian, here he is! He walked over and crouched down behind the gravestone, muttering to himself.

'Umm, Sebastian, what are you doing?' I asked. From this angle I couldn't see much.

Sighing, he stood up with a grey and white tabby in his arms and started playing with his paws.

'MEOW!' Shi screeched and almost fell into the hole I was making her dig by herself, laughing. So, I punched her in the face.

'What the hell was that for?'

'Felt like it.'

I turned round and Sebastian along with the cat, had disappeared.

Shi POV

I honestly just wanted to get back to the manor for my Cheesecake. Lots of it. Cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake, cheesecake. And Jinsei was giving me hers (she didn't do anything) so I had like 20 full Cheesecakes to myself! Ciel best know what he just let everyone in for. I just have to make sure that I don't destroy to many things, but since Jinsei is the maid, she'd have to clean it all up! Finally, we pulled to a stop outside the house at long last, but this time, it looked different. and it had taken longer to get here.

'HOLY SHIT ARE YOU GUYS KIDNAPPING ME?'

'Where'd you get that idea? Oh wait, you've not been here before, this isn't the London house, this is where we usually live. I suppose a few introductions are in order.'

We stepped out of the carriage and walked down the long path to the huge black do-

'KABOOM!'

Sebastian and Jinsei rolled their eyes and grinned sarcastically.

'Baldo.'

Oh, what's a Baldo? Is it like an automatic weapon, or a bomb or something?

So we stepped into the house and I was expecting an exploded hallway. But, so far, so good I guess. Then we headed into the kitchen, and I could tell from the blackened door that was falling off that this was the site of the explosion.

'I saw you coming, thought I'd whip up a meat and potato pie.'

We walked in to reveal a man in his twenties, dirty blonde hair with blue eyes covered with thick goggles. He looked like he'd stepped straight out of a war, even if it was just a kitchen.

'Baldo! I've told you time again that a bazooka is not a suitable kitchen utensil' Sebastian nagged.

Jinsei stepped forward 'Shi, this is Baldo the... Chef.'

'Baldo, this is Shi, my best friend'

'Hey beautifu-'

'Baldo, don't even try flirting. Please. She's all Undertaker's' Jinsei winked as I punched her repeatedly in the arm. We left Sebastian to clean up the kitchen and Baldo to (for some reason) tear up at being called 'chef' and we went to find the second person. As we walked along, I asked Jinsei if all of the servants were incompetent fools (aside from her and probably Sebastian, as much as I hate to admit).

'Well, yes, basically. The other maid isn't exactly brilliant at her job. Though from what I gather, we aren't just hired for our fine serving skills.'

?

We walked up the stairs, and I was just about to put my hand on the rail when I realised that half of it was pitch-black while the other half appeared to be completely white.

'MEY-RIN! That's the shoe polish, not the banister polish!' Jinsei screeched.

'MEY-RIN!'

Holy shit she's actually acting like a maid for once. That never happens.

Mey-rin squealed and dropped the shoe polish. Then she saw me and lowered her glasses slightly, revealing hazel eyes with a fierce look in them.

'Who's she? What business does she have with our manor?'

'Calm down. She's with me. Mey-rin, this is my best friend Shi, Shi this is the maid, Mey-rin.'

She adjusted her glasses and smiled. 'Well that's good that you have a friend, that is!'

Jinsei smiled slightly. 'I guess it is, yes. Come on, let's go find Finny. Sebastian will sort the banister out.'

Finny?

We headed out into the garden, met by the sight of wilting black roses and weeds. But more importantly, there was the gardener. The gardener that I hadn't seen in absolutely years.

Finny didn't notice me, and Jinsei didn't know we'd already met, so I walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

'Hi Finny!'

He spun round and almost hit me with a spade, rubbing his eyes and blinking.

'Shi? That's you? That's really, actually you?'

'Yep! It's really, actually me! How have you been?'

Then he saw Jinsei behind me and started panicking.

'Miss Maid! I really didn't mean to do it, I forgot that I was using the wrong spray and th-'

'Hey, don't bother me! I'm not fussed, Sebastian will fix it. I see you two have met'

'Hells yes! Finny and I used to be best friends!' I yelled happily.

Jinsei laughed, 'Nice to see that. Hey Finny, do you know where the Young Master has put the apple juice?'

'Ummm, well... it's definitely not in a spare room with the other drinks and stuff on the second floor.' Finny smiled.

'Thanks.'
