Chapter 21: Let The Games Begin.

Today is just like any other day in the large manor of the Phantomhive's. Sebastian wakes me up, gives me my breakfast and two picks of coffees, and then I get change for the day and I walk around. I always like spending my time with the servants but today I feel like hanging out with Ciel. It's just I haven't hanged out with him since talking to him about that contract of sorts…

Frowning at the memories, I decided not to hang with Ciel at the moment then and there and continue walking till I made it to the first floor and walk down the stairs till I enter the kitchen to greet my friends, the servants when I stop myself because I saw the looks on their faces.

Baldroy looked more tried then ever.

Mey-Rin was frowning for some reason.

And Tanaka… Will never mind about him. He always has that joyful smile on his face. Does he ever do something else then just sit around and drink Japanese tea?

"Uh…"

I begin to say, getting the maid and cook to look over to me.

"Is something wrong?"

Bald tries to answer but his mouth couldn't move because he is so sleepy so Mey-Rin answers for him.

"Well ya see, Miss Monggle… We feel like we're forgetting something."

I blink at the question before moving my eyes over trowds the cook.

"Is that way you're so tired?"

He shook his head no so I raise an eyebrow. I look back over to Mey-Rin before sitting down next to her.

"Need help in remembering it?"

She shook her head no quickly.

"No, no. We will remember soon enough, Miss Monggle. Please don't waste your time on us."

I frown at her.

"Your my friends so that means I'm going to help whether you like it or not."

She looks at me with wide eyes before calming down with a warm smile.

"Thank you, Miss Monggle."

Before I could say anything, Finny came running into the room from the back door that leads outside. We all shiver from the cold air that came with him for a moment.

"You guys! You guuuuuuuuuuuys! OMIGOSH!"

Baldo and Mey-Rin mutter something under their breath as Finny continues calling out to us. I sigh and walk over to the boy and place my hands onto his shoulders.

"Finny, just take a deep breath."

He slowly did what he was told to do and takes a deep breath.

"And let it out."

He lets his breath out.

"Now tell us what has got you so hyper."

He nods his head until speaking.

"Have you all forgotten? Today's a special day!"

That's when we all look over to the calendar on the wall behind Tanaka. On it said the 12th month of December and the date of the 14th as well. Just then we heard a few knocks from the front door so Mey-Rin gets up to answer it while the others either stay where there were or went to get back to work. I poke my head out of the kitchen to see who's at the door while Ciel and Sebastian walk down the stairs quickly to greet whoever is there. I couldn't help but giggle at the messy hair style on Ciel. When Mey-Rin opens the door for them as they begin walking into the manor. My eyes went wide when I realize it is Lizzie and an older woman whom I quickly knew that this older woman is her mother.

"It has been a while since I saw you last, Marchioness of Midford."

Ciel begins, trying to keep a calm face but he's doing so badly at it.

"You have arrived earlier then expected today as well…"

The woman gives him a stare that kind of looks like a glare.

"Spare me the formalities. You look as if you've just risen, Earl Phantomhive."

Just then Lizzie runs over and hugs the said Earl Child.

"CIEL'S CUTE EVEN WHEN HE HAS JUST WOKEN UP!"

"GUEH!"

"ELIZABETH!"

We all flinch at Lizzie's mom of her sudden shout trowds her daughter. I felt a little bit of pity trowds the young girl.

"Do not behave so rudely before you've even greeted him. I have always told you that a lady must observer the proprieties even when she's at their mother's family home…"

"I'M SORRY, MOTHER!"

I felt more pity on Lizzie now. That and I just know that this woman and I won't get along with our own point of views. Just then the said woman glares her eyes over to Sebastian, who smile at her and bows down with another one of his fake smiles.

"It has been a while since I saw you last. Welcome, Marchioness and Lady Elizabeth. You have traveled a great distance to-?!"

He stops when he notices that she continues to glare at him. He started to feel awkward. Anyone could tell on the worry face he has now.

"Ah… Erm…"

Her glare hardens and I lean forward from my hiding spot to see what she is about to say.

"Might there be something on my fa-!"

"You look…"

She cuts him off, giving him a death glare now.

"… Lecherous!"

Sebastian's eyes went wide for a moment before giving her a tiny smile.

"I am afraid I was born this way-!"

She cuts him off by walking over fast and grabs the front bangs of his hair, making me let out a giggle at the horror face he now has on.

"MOREOVER! Both you and your Master are sporting long bangs, though you're both male. HOW UNSEEMLY! You need to learn a thing or two from Tanaka there!"

I blink in confusion before noticing the said man standing next to me the whole time. I let out a loud yelp as I jump away from the man. How does he keep doing that!? Soon after a few minutes Ciel and Sebastian's front bangs were now gale and push out of their faces. I could tell Ciel is pissed while Sebastian looks scare of the older woman in front of them.

"I apologies for troubling you… Aunt Francis…"

It's so damn weird that in this time line the cousins could marry their other cousins…

"Indeed."

Just then she points a finger at me with another death glare. My face went pale at the fire in her eyes and I hid deeper into my hiding spot.

"AND YOU THERE, YOUNG MAN!"

OH COME ON! If Lizzie realizes that I was a girl then how come her own damn mother doesn't realize it!?

"COME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

I flinch again and slowly walk out as everyone watches me but Baldo and Finny, who went off to do their own things. I walk over to the older woman as her eyebrow twitches. I think she doesn't like my long hair… The two of us stare at each other while Ciel and Sebastian grew worry of what would happen.

"…"

"…"

"Uh… Hi-!"

"What is with your hair style young man? Do you think you can go around with such long hair!? Are you a woman or a man?"

Now I felt my eyebrow twitch in annoyance. I'm about to kill this woman if she calls me a guy one more time… Go on lady, go on and call me a man… See what happens! I don't care if I get in deep shit for it either!

"I drop in on you Ciel, and you're still a lay about! Not to mention your butler looks ever the degenerate! You are to marry my daughter..."

She then points to me again.

"And how dare you let your servants let their hair grow so long!"

She may have not call me a man this time but it still is a part of it. I let my angry out and snap, about to slap her when Sebastian grab my wrist and stops me. I hate those demon powers of his! Ciel and Lizzie had a look of total shock while her mother looked surprised at my almost actions before glaring down at me again.

"HOW DARE YOU-!"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!?"

That made her stops talking with wide eyes. Before Sebastian could cover my mouth up, I move out of his reach quickly.

"For your damn info, I'm a woman! And no, I don't care if it's not 'lady like' to go around in men's clothes! How would you like it if someone told you about that long blonde bang of yours or how much of a jerk you are!?"

I didn't dare look over to see the hurt and shock looks on Ciel's and Lizzie's faces. Sebastian kept a cool face while he walks over and grabs my wrist from behind, forcing a tiny smile at the woman in front of me.

"My apologizes Lady Francis… Miss Monggle here has come from a different life style and I will take her away for the moment. Excuse us..."

I felt panic overcome me for I knew that Sebastian will probably kill me for my actions but I didn't care. No one talks to me like I'm so damn child nor if they continue calling me a man without even asking first. I do have a girl's face ya know! As Sebastian continues to force me up the stairs and into my bed room, he locks the door from the inside and his eyes glow pink when he turns around to face me. I had my back turn on him.

"Miss Monggle-!"

"Don't even start with me Sebastian!"

He raises an eyebrow but doesn't speak. I cross my arms with a glare, staring out my window as I could see Finny getting out cutting tools for some unknown reason.

"I know what you're going to say. 'Miss Monggle you shouldn't said that. It was very inappropriate of you to act in such a way and blah, blah, blah…!'"

His glowing eyes went back to normal as lets out a small chuckle.

"You would be current Miss Monggle…"

I heard footsteps come up from behind.

"But I do not recall me saying 'blah, blah, blah' ever in my life time."

He places his hands onto my shoulders and I started to feel uncomfortable. I could feel his eyes staring into my mind, trying to read what I am thinking. Sadly, he seems to know I didn't feel okay with him touching me for he spins me around and bought my face close to his. I blush at this action. Why does he keep toying with me!?

"But please remember to not cross Lady Francis or anyone else that comes to visit."

I glare at him as his breath touches my nose. I almost flinch at the touch of his hot breath but am able to stop myself from doing so. I stare into his red color eyes and spoke in a whisper.

"Why do you keep toying with me whenever we're alone?"

I felt scared now… Even weak, maybe! He put on a blank face in thought before grinning.

"Does it make you uncomfortable, my lady?"

I try to nod my head but his hand under my chin wouldn't let me do so. He knew anyways that I try nodding my head yes and his grin widens. He brought his face closer to mine, having our noses to touch. My face felt hotter then before. His hot breath didn't help either. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me when… He whispers into my ear instead.

"It is fun to tease you Miss. Monggle."

He then pulls away as I stood there in my own state of shock. As he walks trowds the door to unlock it, he looks over to me with that grin still on his face.

"I will be coming back when the young Master feels that it is okay to bring you out to join us again. In the main time, please do think about what you have done and make an apology to Lady Francis before then."

I continue to stand there before coming back to my senses and let out a scream of anger.

"THAT ASSHOLE! HOW DARE HE TREAT ME LIKE SOME TOY FOR HIS GAME!"

I didn't care if anyone heard me. I just didn't care anymore right now! FINE, if he wants to play this little game of his then so can I! I make his life a living hell if it means to win! I was so angry, I didn't notice that I was about to have my fists almost make my hands bleed from the strong death hold I now have. I continue to stay in place before finally calming down to my senses and look over to my closet.

"First I'll say my sorry's to that woman in a dress and a corset…"

My body shivers at the thought.

"And then I'll go over to Sebastian and mess with him whenever I get the chance! HE WILL NOT WIN THIS GAME! I am the ass kicker of all games!"

I shouted out the last sentence and begin looking for a 'nice' dress to wear. The corsets were all the same colors: white. I soon pick out a red big and long dress. I put on the corset all by myself, which wasn't easy to do, and put on the red dress. I fix my hair up into a side but low pony tail with put on a little bit of make-up. I then went to find a pair of black shoes when I heard a knock at my door. I guess time has gone quicker then I thought. I answer the door to see Sebastian there. He at first gave me of those annoying smiles until he saw what I was wearing and looked surprised. I form a victory grin. IN YOUR FACE, B***H!

"Miss Monggle…"

He goes back to smiling that smile again. SHIT, I almost had him too!

"Why the sudden change in your outfit today?"

I shrug my shoulders with a fake smile of my own. Even I can play the fake smile game with the devil… Okay, that sounded just weird.

"What? I can't wear a pretty dress…?"

I ask walking over to him and look up at him with fake dreamily eyes. He raises an eyebrow and turns around.

"Surprisingly I would say that you are trying to make Lady Francis like you. Whatever the reason is, please follow me Miss Monggle."

He didn't know I was glaring at him from behind. I follow him with my glare outside, not looking at the surprise servants that were in the manor because of the dress I'm wearing. They will miss the dress… I plan on burning it because I really dislike dresses. I follow him down a path that I didn't know of and soon came to horse's stables.

"A horse stables?"

I whisper, staring at the place with surprised eyes. Since when did Ciel have one of those? I love horses!

"Welcome back Miss Monggle!"

Lizzie shouted in joy. I turn my head over to see the said girl on a black horse with Ciel sitting behind her. I gave Lizzie a smile back when Francis walks over to me on her white horse.

"I see you have change dress clothes."

"Yes… Ma'am."

I tried to say nicely with the best of my abilities. She watches my every move before speaking again.

"I don't know what game you're trying to play but that does not mean I will let you do as you please. Because you are be rude to me earlier, you can only watch Ciel and I go into a game of the hunt."

I didn't dare ask what she meant… Seeing as she has a gun on her belt and I really rather not get her mad enough to shoot me in the head! I nod my head in understanding before walking by her and the white horse as Ciel and Lizzie watch me.

"Sebastian."

"Yes, sir."

I didn't turn to see what the demon butler is doing as he soon brings out another horse and taps my shoulder. I turn around to see the beautiful white and brown horse with Sebastian and I gasp at how pretty it is. I gently pet the horses face while Sebastian watches me before moving over to the side of the horse saddle.

"My lady."

I look over to see Sebastian there and wasn't sure what he standing there until I got the idea and he grabs my waist, causing me to blush as he lifts me up onto the saddle and I couldn't help but smile at the lovely horse.

"Do you know how to ride a horse, Miss Monggle?"

"Of course I do! I love horses!"

I answer at the man in black. Sebastian backs up a little bit and turns over to Ciel. Ciel nods his head and the butler takes a few steps closer to my horse and grabs hold of the leather rope tried around the horse's mouth.

"Everyone… This way."

Francis grins at the back of Ciel's head as they begin following behind us.

"Does your butler double as a hound?"

Ciel thought for a moment for the right words.

"He… Is sort of like that."

With that said, we all kept silent until Sebastian stops in his tracks and we all stop behind him. The butler looks around us before turning over with a calm look on his face.

"Then we shall begin here."

He begins.

"The rules are as follows: Maintain your territory, twenty-five meters on either side… And avoid shooting birds flying lower then the prescribed altitude… Are we agreed?"

"Yes."

They both said as Sebastian takes out a gold pocket watch and sets the timer.

"The game is now underway. The time limit shall be three hours."

"See you, Ciel!"

Francis shouted, running off into the woods. Ciel looks over to Lizzie, who is smiling at him.

"Lizzie, get off here."

"Ehhhhh? But we finally get to spend time together-!"

Just then a gun shot was heard. Lizzie and I flinch at the sudden sound while Ciel looks over to Sebastian who is the counter as well as the timer.

"1- nil. As expected of the Marchioness… She has already shot a bird. It seems she will be a formidable opponent, even for you, young Master, hm?"

Just then Ciel shot up into the air, causing a bird to fall down, dead. I glare at him because he scared Lizzie. I was about to yell when Ciel looks at the girl with a warm smile.

"Too bad for Aunt Francis… But I'm not very good at losing any kind of game. Lizzie, it's dangerous here so stay with Miss. Monggle and Sebastian. All right?"

She slowly nods her head before getting off his horse with the demon butler's help. Ciel then rides off into the woods while we stay where we are until we couldn't see him anymore. Lizzie smiles at where she last saw her beloved.

"I'm glad."

That got me and Sebastian to look over at the girl.

"Ciel seems to be feeling better. Aunt An loved Ciel best, too… I was worried. I don't want Ciel to suffer anymore. I always try to cheer him up in my own way, but… It never seems to work out. I always overdo things and make him angry."

I wanted to say something to her but I couldn't find the right words. I look over to the butler for help. He notices my questioning stare before nodding his head in understanding and bows down before the young girl with a small smile.

"I am certain my Master senses… Your kind consideration as well, my lady."

Lizzie stares at him before smiling wider.

"Thank you. You're sweet, Sebastian."

She then turns to me.

"And thank you too."

I blink at this.

"What are you thinking me for?"

"I think Ciel is opening up more. You seem to make him enjoy his time more whenever I come over to see you."

She doesn't even come over much! But how do I open Ciel more…? Well there was that time when I got Ciel to learn how to dance… It's funny now when thinking about it. There was another time when Madam Red… I force the tears to stop as I close my eyes. Ciel grab hold of my shoulder tightly when I hug him. He must've tried to hold off his own tears while he tightens his hold onto my shirt. Thinking about it all now, I realize that maybe that's what Madam Red saw what Lizzie saw in me so she ask me to watch over her nephew…

"Miss Monggle?"

I blink in question until I realize that it's Lizzie's voice. I didn't realize that I open my eyes and have tears roll down my face.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah. Just thinking is all."

I use my arm to wipe away the tears with a wide smile. Forget about the teasing, flirting game right now… I don't wanna play it when I'm like this. Lizzie nor Sebastian didn't question because we heard set of gun shots into the air. Sebastian smirks.

"5-4. It is a close contest. Let us cheer them both on."

Soon the two hunters came back with their hunted animals in a large brown bag. Sebastian counted the amount when we got back to the manor's backyard and sat down onto the long outdoor table.

"The marchioness shot ten pheasants. A brace of foxes, and there rabbits for a total of fifteen points. Young Master shot eleven pheasants, three foxes and one rabbit for a total fifteen points… The result is draw. Is that acceptable?"

Francis spook up fast after this.

"It most certainly is not! I prefer definitive results, one way or another!"

"How odd, Aunt Francis. It seems we agree on this point."

Ciel spoke right after her.

"Then... The tie will be broken with another round this afternoon… And now if I may…!"

"Fine!"

"No complaints here."

Ciel and Francis begin.

"But I daresay we've over-hunted here. We'll have to find a new location for the afternoon."

Francis spoke, grinning at the boy across from her on the table. Sebastian begins pouring a bottle of wine into her drink. He gives her a thoughtful look.

"Ah… Not to worry, marchioness. Big game still lurks on these grounds."

Sebastian said, smiling at the woman before pouring some wine into my glass. I made a annoy face. I hate this stuff! He then then places us our dinner dishes. Lizzie takes a moment to smell the good looking dish and smiles warmly.

"Now that the rules have been deiced… Let's eat!"

She begins and we didn't need her to tell us twice and we start digging in.

"This smells divinnne…"

It tastes divine! Just then we heard a loud growl from behind me and Lizzie. We both slowly turn around with wide eyes and saw…

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEK!"

A GAINT BLACK BEAR! The bear comes out from the trees around its form and was about to attack both of us when Ciel quickly acted and grab both of us into his arms somehow. Just as the bear was about to attack, gun shots were heard and the three of us thought that we were done for when we all felt fine. We open our eyes before turning around to see who have killed the now dead bear that lye onto the ground.

"Aunt Francis…!"

I turn around to see the said woman who has her gun in her hands. She glares at the bear before putting the gun down onto the ground. Ciel smirks at the older woman.

"16 to 15. It looks like I've lost this game… Aunt Francis."

The said woman rolls her eyes with a grin of her own.

"Hmph. You're still got at least a decade to go before you can even think of winning against me… However… I commend you for daring to protect my daughter… With your life. And… I am in your debt."

That made the Earl Child surprised as she turns her back on us.

"I would expect nothing less from the man who is to become my son… Lord Ciel Phantomhive."

She then points over to me with a warning glare.

"As for you, Miss. Monggle."

I made a gulp sound as this. She continues to glare into my eyes… No, my soul! I felt like she was going to eat it away!

"My daughter has told me much about you… She told me that you were a very young lady who would fight for others. You have given her a new kind of happiness. She enjoys spending her time with you whenever she can, even though it's not much."

So that means… She knew I was a boy but yet still calls me it?

"Whoa, wait!"

I started, giving her a annoy look.

"Are you telling me that…? You knew all this time I was a girl who wears men's clothes?"

She grins down at me and I went face pale. S-shit!

"As a woman who dresses into men's clothes… People will see for who she is. A man."

I frown at her words.

"But…"

She smiles at me now.

"It shows everyone that even women can be strong like one."

She puts her hand out to us. Lizzie got up first while Ciel got up on his own. I was about to get up on my own when Francis takes my hand and helps me up.

"Let's head back."

I smile and nod my head back at her before getting onto my white and brown horse while the others but Sebastian get onto theirs. The five of us begin walking back to the horse stables before leaving the horses there and head back to the manor. When we got there the servants had made the main hallway into a party ball with a handmade sign on the walls that said 'Happy Birthday Ciel' on it.

Huh, how come Ciel didn't tell me it's his birth day?

It's Ciel's birthday… Right?
