Chapter 21 – Those Reckless Servants
Two days has passed and all Ciel knows is that is cousin is dead. He gets up from eating breakfast and doesn't say a word to anyone. He just walks into his office silently leaving the others in distress. Sebastian knows he should be upset that his master had lost all confidence he had left but he can't help to feel overwhelming joy that Emiko is dead.
"Sebastian." a voice calls out to him. He turns around to see Finny.
"Yes?" Sebastian answers.
"What happen to the master?" He asks.
Sebastian had forgotten to notify them about the incident.
"Let's just say Emiko well won't be living anymore." Sebastian says.
"What do you mean?" Bard asks.
"Do you remember a few days ago?"
"How could we not?" Mey-Rin answers.
"Young master had watched his cousin be slain by one of the figures."
The three let out gasps. That sentence he made Tanaka get out of his calm mood. Sebastian leaves them off with a goodbye and allows them to ponder.
Finny marches around the room aimlessly; trying to think of some plan to make his master happy.
"Don't think to hard or you'll fry your brains out." Bard warns Finny.
"But you have seen him in the last two days!"
Ciel hadn't seemed cold hearted just sad. Whenever he entered the room in was just a gloomy atmosphere. Even when Lizzy came to check on Ciel the other day she had noticed how sad he was. How he didn't yell at her for being so annoying. It was like he tuned the world out of his life.
"Emiko, was his cousin right?" Mey-Rin said.
"Wait Emiko isn't even a British name, right? So does that mean Emiko is Asian?" Finny asks.
"No, no not at all." Tanaka says.
"It's the real Tanaka!" Mey-Rin says. "Oh we're in for a story this time!"
Tanaka continues, "Emiko is a distant cousin of Ciel yet they were very close as children. Emiko isn't Asian she is purely British but the name Emiko means child graced with beauty or smiling child. That is why she was named Emiko. She is one of beauty but something about her seems oddly different. What was it?" Tanaka explains.
Poof!
Tanaka is once again in chibi form and sleeping.
"So they were close, uh?" Bard says.
"Must have been really close to get the master down like this."
"Poor Emiko, she had just returned too." Mey-Rin comments.
Creak.
They hear the front door of the manor open. The servants exit the room and headed towards the open front door. Sebastian was holding open the door for Ciel whom was just about to exit the manor.
"Where are you going?" Mey-Rin asks.
"Emiko's maid Summer she doesn't know of Emiko's death yet." Ciel answers.
"She shall be devastated." Finny mumbles.
Tanaka waits outside prepared to ride the carriage. Ciel leaves the manor and Sebastian closes the door behind him.
They left the manor not to little ago. Sebastian sits with Ciel inside the carriage grinning; wanting to see that angel's face once she knows Emiko is dead. Ciel stares out the window with a frown on his face.
I must plan the funeral for her soon. Ciel thinks.
He continues to stare out the window.
Gasp. He gets up surprised. He say a girl with short purple hair in a short kimono torn full with blood walking the opposite way they were going. He looks back out the window but the girl is gone; disappeared. He sits back down.
"My lord is something wrong?" Sebastian takes notice of his master's actions.
"It's nothing; I just thought I saw someone I recognized from somewhere." Ciel responds.
"Do you remember where you had seen such a person?" Sebastian questions his young master.
"A circus, perhaps?" Ciel mutters.
Knock. Knock.
Ciel knocks on the door. The moment is coming when Sebastian would watch that angel smash into a million pieces. Summer opens the door.
"Oh, hello Ciel." She says surprised.
"May I come in?" Ciel ponders.
"Ah, of course." She gestures them inside.
They enter the Universal the manor and Summer leads them into a room. Ciel sits himself down on the coach. Summer serves tea.
"Summer sit." Summer does so.
Sebastian's grin becomes a smile, a quite insane one though.
"What do you wish to speak about?" Summer asks.
"It's about Emiko..." Ciel begins.
"Yes. I know."
"You do?"
"Yes it was very shocking the news." Summer says.
"I am deeply sorry." Ciel says.
"There is no need to. You couldn't have fought of those figures. You could not have known it would lead to a path such as this one." Summer choked.
Ciel sips his tea. "You are invited to her funeral."
He lowers her and waits for her response. But instead she burst out laughing.
"What...?" He croaked.
Her laughter leaves Sebastian surprised.
"You must be kidding me." Summer squeals out from laughter.
She stops laughing once she realizes he isn't joking.
"Wait so you don't know." Summer mentioned. "What are you talking about?"
"Emiko's death. What may you be speaking of?"
"Emiko nearly lost her life if it wasn't for the demon that saved her."
"Demon?" Ciel questioned that single word.
"May I see Emiko?" Ciel wonders.
"Yes you may but she isn't in the best condition." Summer warns.
She leads him down a hall.
While walking down she says, "The demon is watching her currently."
She knocks on the door and says, "I am coming in with visitors."
She opens the door and Hagi sits beside her. Ciel begins to think that demon is just a term then he sees the demons eyes that would flash by so quickly at Ciel would have to question if he actually saw it.
"Uh." Finny sighs.
Mey-Rin sits outside with Bard and Tanaka. Finny trims the bushes not caring how they turn out.
"It will be hard for him to plan her funeral right?" Mey-Rin complained.
"Right." said a husky voice.
Mey-Rin looked around her but there was no one.
"Did you hear that?" Mey-Rin asks.
"Hear what?" Bard asks.
"Nothing." Mey-Rin worried.
"Agh!" Finny yells.
"Finny, please dear calm down." Mey-Rin tells him.
"I can't!"
The frustration of being useless; of being unable to help his master begins to get to Finny. He grabs his trimmer and swings around preparing to throw it to get rid of his frustration. He lets it go and it goes flying. Mey-Rin and Bard duck than prepare to hear a loud bang. There is no bang but the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Bard and Mey-Rin look up and see that the trimmer had hit a short haired female. They run to her to help her. If Sebastian were there he would be able to smell the hunger of a demon on her. Along with the desire to get revenge.
