Unexpected Arrivals 21

Disclaimer: If I owned Kuroshitsuji I wouldn't be writting fanfics about it. I do own the characters that are not apart of the anime and manga.
Normality just seemed to be a word that he vaguely understood. Routine was a word he understood far more than normality. But perhaps they were one in the same and he was over complicating the meaning of the word.
Sebastian mixed the ingredients for the days snack with a sense of joy and creativity. He loved being creative. He loved coming up with new things for snacks. If he could he'd love to open a shop in his world selling human snacks. As he put it in the oven. He again had to smack his brothers with a spatula.
"Stop eatting the toppings for the dessert!" he yelled.
"But there sooo good. These raspberries are just ripe." Micheal whined. Adrian popped another into his mouth, earning him another smack.
"If you both are going to sit there the least you can do is help me with the chores!" he scolded.
"Us?...Clean." Adrian looked around the kitchen. "That's what servants are for."
Sebastian put a hand to his head. "Why me?"
"Hey your the weird one. Who actuallys gets joy from cooking? Eatting I can see, but cooking? Psh." Adrian waved.
"I happened to like the creativeness thats involved. Besides you never seem to complain when I give you a plate." he started mixing some cream in a large bowl.
"That's because it's sooo delicious!" Adrian's eyes sparkled in delight. "If only there was a servant who could make such delicious treats that wasn't our brother. Ahhhh then we could have so much fun together."
"Your just lazy." he stated as he added some ingredients to the mix. "Honestly your such a sterotypical demon."
"Hey!" he pouted at his brother.
Micheal giggled as he watched them debate. "I've always wondered. Why do humans feel the need to have a last name. It's such a bother."
Sebastian just shrugged.
Leaning forward, Micheal asked. "So did that human give you a last name?"
"Of course. It'd be strange if I didn't have one while pretending to be human." he opened the oven to check on the dessert.
"Oooo, what is it!?" He squealed. "Is it something like Thomas? I've noticed alot of humans have the name Thomas. Or maybe Dickens? Or or or....."
"It's Michealis." he responded before his brother kept on. Micheal always had the habit of over thinking things. He could remember quiet a few times when he'd gotten them in the trouble as children with his over elaborate pranks.
"Michealis......Michealis....Micheal...." he repeated. Then squealed with utter delight. "AHHHHH you have my name in your human last name!" his eyes started to sparkle.
Sebastian just blinked at his brother.
"I always knew you loved me more." he added.
"Hey!!" Adrian pouted. "He loves me too." he got teary eyed.
Sebastian just laid his head on the counter. "Why me?"
Sebastian could officially say when it came to shopping the other servants were atleast useful. His brothers were horrible as they came along with him to help with the shopping. Anything that was shiney they wanted it. He was pretty sure his master was not going to be very happy at their pile of acquired things. Though he had to admit they caught his attention as well. Even in his room back in his world. He had a collection of shiney things, it didn't matter how random they were, as long as they had a shine, he'd add it to his collection. He supposed it was due to him being a crow. Crows loved things that were shiney.
He just hoped his master hadn't noticed the few things he'd hid under one of the floor boards of his room. He'd taken the utmost care to keep it from his master that he was collecting a few items here and there. A letter opener that Ciel liked, that suddenly went "missing" was hidden in his stash. A few pieces of jewerly. And even some wine glasses. Shiney things only came second for him. Cats being the first.
"Ooooo Sebastian look! It's soooo pretty!" Micheal awed at piece he was looking at in the window. "I want it!" he said excitedly as he raced into the store.
"Uhhh." Sebastian felt exhausted. Checking his watch he saw the were already behind schedule. They were due back at the manor 5 minutes ago.
"Come one come all! Win yourself a free egg if you can stand on it without breaking it!" he heard a vendor shout.
"Win a free egg? No human can stand on an egg without breaking it." Adrian scoffed. Micheal came out of the store with his new "purchase."
"What about an egg?" Micheal asked as he put his item in the carriage with the others.
"Some human is offering free eggs if you can stand on it without breaking it." Adrian surmised.
"I'll agree that's abit over the top. What a waste of perfectly good eggs." Sebastian stated as he tried to get a look. The man had an ostrich next to him.
All three demons eyes bulged out of their sockets when the got a look at the egg. It was huge. They'd assumed it was a chicken egg that was being used. Turns out they were wrong.
"That's a big egg!" Adrian said abit too loud.
They saw an average sized woman take a turn, stepping on the egg, but it broke under her weight. The three demons cringed when they saw it.
"That poor baby." Micheal got teary eyed.
Sebastian couldn't explain it but for some reason it hit a nerve in him when he saw it. When he saw another person attempt it and the egg break, he cringed again.
"I can't take this!" Adrian hugged onto Micheal. "I'm getting scarred, stop the trama!!"
Needless to say the younger demons got a scolding for coming back to the manor so late. As Sebastian predicted Ciel was not happy about the pile of things Adrian and Micheal had collected during their trip to the market. Julious was more upset that they didn't get him some. After they'd put their collection away in one of the spare rooms. They'd taken off. Much to Ciel's delight.
Sebastian placed the days dinner before him. "I apologize young master, they just got abit carried away at the market."
"Uhhh, demons are soo.....uhh. I don't even want to think about it." he sighed as he cut into the piece of meat on his plate. Taking a bite then dabbing his mouth. "See anything interesting?"
"Well there was a man offering free eggs to those who could stand on it without breaking it."
"Eggs?" he raised a brow.
"They were big. Ostrich eggs I believe. Or atleast it's my assumption since he had a live ostrich next to him."
"Why would anyone wanna eat an ostrich egg?"
"I don't know. But what perplexes me as to why he had people standing on them."
Ciel smiled as he turned to his butler. "So did you do it?"
"Of course not, I wouldn't shame the Phantomhive name by being so silly as to stand on an egg."
"Oh..." he said disappointed. He would of loved to see Sebastian making the attempt.
They snuck down to the basement with stealth and care. Opening the door to where she was resting. After climbing into the nest they laid many things beside her, careful in the placement of the objects. When they were done, as silent as they came they'd left. Leaving only the objects behind.
Vaheil yawned as he walked down the stairs towards Sin's current dwellings. Every morning he'd go down and change her bandages and check on her progress. When he got to the room he saw that she was still sleeping, curled about herself in the nest.
"Hmmm, it seems she's extra tired this morning." he stated as he admired a few of the things that surrounded her. Sebastian had put draperies around the nest to make it look like a canopy. He said it was to make her surroundings less dull. There were also a few pillows and other things. If it wasn't for the nest itself it would of looked rather nice. He climbed up the small set of stairs he'd put for easy access to the nest. Jumping in surprise at he saw.
Julious sipped at the tea he'd made for himself. It wasn't as good as Sebastians, but it was still rather tasty. When he saw Vaheil come into the room. He couldn't help but notice the smirk he had on his face as he walked over to the older demon.
"Way to go!" he patted him on his back. "I didn't think you had it in you." he gave him a thumbs up.
Raising a brow. "What are you talking about human?" he asked as he placed his cup on it's saucer.
"You know you sly dog." he poked at the demon. "You should of told me you two were expecting."
"Expecting?" he looked puzzled.
"You and Sin."
"EH?!" he uttered, then raced to where she was. When he swung open the doors he made a dash for the nest and looked in. Sin was still resting, sleeping the day away like nothing had changed. Right next to her was a rather large pile of eggs.
Vaheil came up behind him as the older demon gawked in shock. "You two must of been at it all night long to fertilize this many eggs." he smirked.
Julious got teary eyed as he looked at Sin with betrayal. "SIN HOW COULD YOU?!" he shouted as he cried. Waking her up with a start.
"Huh?" she asked wearily. Then looked at Julious perplexed. "What are you talking about idiot?"
He put an arm to his face as he pointed to the lower part of the nest. "Those! How could you bear another's children!?"
"WHAT?!" she looked stunned, even in her demon form. She looked at the pile and gawked. She couldn't remember anything, Vaheil had been giving her medicine that'd make her sleepy so her wounds would heal without pain. "OH LORD!!" she shout as she lifted herself. "It's not what it looks like! I'm about 30% sure I didn't lay those eggs!"
"ONLY 30!!" Julious cried in anger. Apparently even though they were divorced they still loved on another.
"Well my lower region has been hurting abit today....OH MY LORD!" she shouted as her own thoughts came up in her mind.
Without their knowing Micheal and Adrian just hid behind the doors, lowering themselves out of sight.
"Uhhh oh....." they said in unison.
"What are you doing?" Sebastian's voice came from behind them, making them jump in surprise. When they turned they saw him holding a large basin of water and some towels.
"Ummm nothing!" they uttered and ran.
"So peculiar." he stated as he walked into the room. He was shocked when he saw his parents acting abit odd. Even for them. "What happened?" he tilted his head to the side.
"It's nothing!" Julious shouted at him. He was waving his arms around like a maniac.
"Very well." he responded as he walked closer to the nest.
"What are you doing?!" Julious blocked him.
"Bringing the days water to mother so she can get a bath." he looked at his father waryingly.
"NO! It's fine! She's good!"
Sebastian just side stepped him and walked up the steps. "Honestly father your acting weirder than usual."
"No don't look!!!" he shouted.
When he turned to look at the nest he saw the pile of eggs within it. He blinked several times, and even wiped at his eyes as if he was trying to convince himself they were playing tricks on him.
"Forgive her!!" Julious whined as he hugged Sebastian from behind.
"I tell ya that must of been some session." Vaheil added, he lit a cigarette as he watched what would happen next.
"If I may...mother...why are you keeping ostrich eggs in the nest?" he simply asked. Making everyone look at him in confusion.
"What?" Julious asked as he let go.
"Ostrich...eggs?" Sin repeated as she looked at them abit more closely. Then sniffed at them. They clearly had her scent on them.
"You sure are innocent in that department, your mother gave birth, your gonna be an older brother." Vaheil said cheerily.
"While they do look alot like the type of eggs a demon with a reptile body would give birth to, I have to argue that those are ostrich eggs." he placed the basin of water down. "Besides if she'd given birth i'm pretty sure the nest would have a smell and would be damn from the birthing water."
Vaheil put out his cigarette and went to the spot where the Sin laid. Touching the area. "Hey your right. It's totally dry."
Sin visibly calmed down as she sighed with relief. "Oh thank god. I thought i'd mated with some random person. I'm never taking those pills again." she laid her upper body down. "Wait a minute...." she rose again. "Then why are they here?!"
Sebastian picked up one of the eggs and turned it around. It had a stamp on it's shell from the vendor who was giving them away yesterday. "I think I can guess."
Micheal and Adrian were sitting on their knees on the floor. They both had large bumps on their heads that they'd received from their father only moments ago.
"Do you know all the chaos you've both caused! Honestly why would you even think to take those eggs?!"
"But the humans were breaking them." Adrian cried. "Those poor baby ostriches!!"
"We didn't mean to cause a commotion father. It was just too painful to see them getting ruined."
Ciel watched with a bored expression on his face. But on the inside he was laughing his head off. He couldn't believe that some simple eggs could cause so much chaos.
"And you!" Julious pointed at him. "How could you let such a thing happen!"
"What?! I didn't even know!" Ciel defended himself. "Instead of blaming me, go back to scolding your children!"
"I'm sure some how it's your fault! You manipulated them!"
Sebastian just started giggling from his spot in the corner. Julious glared at him, and he put his hands up in defense. "Forgive me, it's just when you really think about it it's pretty funny."
"What's so funny about a fake pregnancy scare!?"
"Honestly I would think a demon who'd had three children would of recognized the eggs to be of non demon species."
He pointed at Sebastian hastily, "What would you know!? You weren't even hatched from an egg like your brothers!"
"Eh?!" Ciel perked up in shock. "What the hell?!"
"I don't think this is valid conversation in front of the young master." he shifted his eyes away.
Julious slapped him upside the head. "Don't get smart with me! Your in just as much trouble as your brothers!"
Sebastian held his head. "Eh?! Why?! What did I do?!" he looked up at him.
"You failed to notice what your brothers were even doing!"
"How was I supposed to know they went to the ostrich farm and stole 30 eggs!"
Adrian and Micheal just twiddled their thumbs as they thought of the error of their actions.
"Sebastian wasn't hatched from an egg.....wait...Adrian and Micheal WERE hatched from eggs?!" Ciel kept on as if he was trying to figure out which one was the weirder of the two.
"Young master I don't really think this is the time to be discussing out births."
"Like hell it's not! I wanna know, this is far more interesting than any other lesson you've forced on me!"
"Young master that was very inappropriate language for one of your rank."
"Excuse me! But I seem to recall punishing you along with your brothers!" Julious broke in.
Needless to say, as a demon, Julious's punishment wasn't exactly a punishment. Or more over it was something a normal human would do. Sort of. Julious had not only made Adrian and Micheal return the eggs. But all three of his children where, for a lack of a better word by Ciel's standards. Grounded to the nest until further notice. They weren't to stick out so much as a single toe from the nest, otherwise the threat of a spanking came into play. Ciel thought it would be very amusing to see Sebastian actually get a spanking like a small child. But he also had other problems.
Poking at his butler as he sat nearby in the nest, "Oie, Sebastian, is there any particular reason your actually going along with this grounding thing?"
Sebastian's posture was one that lacked his typical poise. He had his arms stretched out in front of him like a dog would when it laid on the ground. And he was currently using his mother's tail as a pillow. He turned his neck in a rather stretched up manner just to look at his master. "I should say so young master. I've never experienced a spanking from my father. And I don't intend to now."
"Tsk, what kind of child actually listens to their parents?"
"As far as I know young master, you did." he smirked.
Ciel scoffed as he sat cross legged in the next and used his hand to support his chin. "At this rate no work will get done."
"That's not true young master." he stretched abit, allowing his wings to come out as well. "I'm perfectly capable of teaching you within the nest."
He eyed his butler for a long moment, "Well?"
"Well what young master?"
"Didn't you say you were going to give me my lessons?"
"I most certainly did not. I stated I was capable of teaching you while in the nest. I never stated that I would." he smiled.
"Sebastian!!" he yelled. But promptly put his hands over his mouth as Sin started growling at him for making so much noise. "Sorry..." he whispered. He couldn't help but think about the time when his Aunt Frances had stated the house was in need of a lady to tend to the house. Demon or not, Sin was still considered a woman of nobility. And as such she'd proven more often than not that she was most certainly in charge. He was also rather sure that if Sin was in her human form that his Aunt and her would get along quite well. So well that everyone in the house wouldn't get a day of rest from all their judgements. He could imagine the only thing they would disagree upon would be Sebastian's hair. Frances would state it was inappropriate. While Sin would probably state it was eloqant.
Sebastian started nodding off as his mother curled her tail about him. She was so warm that it just made him want to sleep and bask in that warm. It was the second greatest thing in the world to him. Cats coming in first.
"Sebastian...!" Ciel hissed. Waking the young demon up with a jolt.
"I'm awake." he stated even as he sat up. But it was a rather losing battle as he slid back onto the spot he was laying on moments before. And nodding off again.
"Arrggh!!" Ciel shouted in frustration. Which earned him a very very angry reaction from Sin. It was like she was going to attack but stopped inches from his face with her sharp jaws. "Sorry..." he squeaked. She laid back on her spot after licking Sebastian's cheek and nodded off herself. Adrian and Micheal snuggled deeper into her side as they rested themselves.
Demons, Ciel learned, did not like it when distruptions occured. Especially Females.
And....another chapter is done yay! I'm typing this up while i'm at work XD And all I can think of after it hit about 4 am is. Damn i'm tired and I want to sleep. I want to snuggle in my sheets and go off to my own dream land. I actually had that part in my head for a while. I just didn't know what chapter it'd end up at. I'm weird like that .
I'm happy to report i'm alot better than what I had been in the past month. Still lightly sick, but it's an improvement. Sadly I know i'll fail a couple of classes due to being so ill, but my art teacher is being really nice about it. I got alot of my work done for that class too. So all that's left is my final for art and to finish up some drawings that I have to do on my own time and it's all done. But since he's so bad and scheduling his time. I'll have to go back to the school and pick up my art portfolio *le sigh* after classes are ended for everyone. Well..not just me. Everyone. Uhh.
