Chapter 21 is here! I know, it's been so long but I hope you guys can forgive me... please? It's short though...
IMPORTANT!
I have basically re-written each chapter. I have gotten rid of things, changed things, added to chapters and re-edited basically everything. If you want to be up-to-date with this story, I would advise that you read it again. I've changed quite a few things that are central to the plot, so if you don't re-read it, you're not exactly gonna know what's what. I have added at least 4,000 words so that's why it's taken me so long to update because I have been re-editing this story chapter by chapter. I'm a grammer freak so when I re-read this story and realised all the mistakes in grammer... I died inside. I really did. I think I need to go get my eyes checked...

Chapter XXI: Quest For Cake
xMiss Shizaya Michealisx
"This is so not fair!" I heard her whine for the umpteenth time. I currently lay face down and groaned into the pillow.
Shut up!
"Will you ever be quiet?" I hissed over at her as she sat in my little alcove whining pitifully to herself.
"Why should I?" She whined, hitting her clenched fists down on the cushion like a spoiled child.
"You're giving me a headache!"
And she's supposed to be the adult here. Ugh.
There was a reason for her whining though. Downstairs, a party was taking place. Not a normal party, mind you. A demon party, for demons no less. Hence the reason for Luna coming here, to keep an eye on me and ensure my safety while Sebastian hosted the "unnecessary get-together".
"You know we aren't to go down there." I reminded her with a slight sneer as she hopped off the ledge of the alcove and marched over to the door of my bedroom.
"Why should he have all the fun?" She retorted childishly.
"You do know that Sebastian asked you here because he wanted you to look after me while that down there was going on."
She pulled a face and began pacing the room a little too erratically, "I know that."
"Then sit down." I ordered with a roll of my eyes. I placed my head back on the pillow and released a content sigh when her footsteps ceased.
"Are you hungry?" She asked me after a moments silence.
"Not particularly." I answered with a huff.
"You do know there's cake down there, right?"
At the mention of cake, my head snapped up from the pillow and a mischevious smirk spread across her lips.
She knows that she's hooked me.
Damn.
I gave in.
"Is... is there?" I whispered to her. I glanced around the room as if it were some criminal act to ask her.
She nodded her head with a victorious grin, "Uh-huh. And cream and strawberries too-"
"Let's go." I barked, sliding off the bed.
"Woah there!" She laughed and stepped in front of me. She held out her arms when I tried to step around her, "You don't think I'm going to let you go to a party in that, do you?" She eyed my attire with distaste.
I glanced down. I wore a simple white shirt and black breeches. There was nothing particularly off about it, but I knew it wasn't suitable for a party... wait, party?
"We're not going to the party, Luna! We're just going to get cake. Wait, do demons even eat cake?"
That didn't seem right.
She pondered for a moment and I watched her as if I could see the clogs in her mind turning.
"Probably. I saw Sebastian making some sort of chocolate cake earlier and he almost bit my head off when I went to take a slice."
"I don't blame him." I shot at her.
"Ha. Ha."
"We're not joining the party, Luna. Our goal is the cake, nothing more and certianly nothing less."
"Not if I have anything to do with it!"
And so after at least ten minutes of rummaging through my wardrobe and picking out a suitable outfit, she threw the clothes on the bed and said that she would leave to get herself ready.
I groaned. Didn't she know that I could hardly tie shoe laces, let alone undress and dress myself?
"Ciel~?"
A knock sounded on the door.
I had sucessfully changed my outfit all by myself, even if I looked a little disheveled, as I looked at my reflection in the full length mirror in the bathroom.
"Hey, shorty, are you done?"
I took in a calming breath.
"My name isn't 'shorty'." I corrected her as I opened the bedroom door to reveal myself, "It's Ciel."
I was wearing an outfit that I had never worn before. It was royal blue and black and matched well with my eyes. Sebastian had wholeheartedly approved of it when I tried it on for himself and Miss. Hopkins. It also illuminated my hair. I'm thinking that was the reason she chose it.
She herself was wearing a dark red gown that reached to her feet. There were no sleeves on the dress and her pale shoulders revealed themselves. I didn't know where to look. But I'm guessing that the style was in fashion. Luna seemed to be well in "the-know", and might I add, it was perfectly fitting for a party of demons.
She looked me over and sighed, "Honestly?"
I granted her a glare and crossed my arms over my chest.
She soon had me fixed to perfection and we made our way down the hallway to the top of the staircase where we froze, or should I say, I froze.
They were certainly beautiful.
I peered over the bannister at the gathering of demons.
No humans could ever compare to them.
Okay please don't kill me! I know this is super, super short but I have just been really busy lately. I've started on another SebastianxCiel fic and for you authors, you know what it's like when you start on a new fic. You dedicate your time to it instead of the old fic. I know what you're thinking, "BOLD!" but that's life. It sucks. I need to get re-inspired for this story because to be honest, when I'm typing for it, everything in my mind goes to mush and I can't think. It's so crappy because I love this story and I love typing for it but because I haven't typed for it in so long, everything is a little hazy at the moment. But don't worry! I will be continuing this story but it might take a little time.
As I've just mentioned, I've started a new SebastianxCiel fic called "How Many Miles to Babylon?". I'd really appreciate it if you guys could have a read of it. It's different but I think it is definitely worth the read, or so I've been told. I've tried my best at it. It's a romance fic between the two. I've been updating it quickly and probably will continue to do so. You'll find it on my profile. If you do read it, leave a review and let me know what you think. Thanks guys and I'm so sorry for this really short chapter but don't fret, this story will be updated but it will take time xD
