Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy the latest chapter, also why are dolls starting to become so cool now. Why do toys get so cool and fun when we can't play with them anymore! Man if I was a kid now, I would want every Dracularura doll from Monster High and I still don't have a favorite from Ever After High, but it's probably going to be Raven Queen lol.
Anyway I do not own Kuroshitsuji.
Also I wish I had a pet tiger, they are so awesome! Actually if the large cats! They just look so cuddly! They can eat me if I get to pet and love them before it! They are just so adorable and I love them so much! Hmm maybe Sebastian's castle will have large cats along with little cats!
Nothing much had happen since Undertaker's warning, the next few days went by peacefully with the exception of Kouji challenging Sebastian every five minutes. Each time her elder brother fell flat on his face with a disgruntled expression as her demon stood over him with an arrogant smirk. Walking through the snow away from their latest battle, Larisa walked side by side with Ciel toward a clump of trees. She had been curious as to what they were hiding in their depths. "So is Sebastian an alien or something?" asked Ciel out of the blue.
Feeling a stab of panic, Larisa composed herself before freaking, "Why would you say that?" she asked looking back nervously. Could Ciel see Sebastian was to perfect? He was sort of overdoing it, making breakfast like a professional, helping her mother with things, kicking the twin's butts in sport, beating Ciel and dad in chess and shogi. Then there was his super human self-control, even when she wanted to smooch him he wouldn't allow her if he felt anyone from her family around. Which she didn't get, it wasn't like they were in the past where if you kissed you married. Also it wasn't like her parents didn't not expect him to kiss her.
"He's way to perfect," he muttered.
Smiling, she let out a sigh of relief, "I know, he really seems that way. That's part of the reason I kept refusing him, not only was it weird with, well his dad, but he was just so perfect. Everything he did was like beyond human. However, Sebastian is just as flawed as anyone. He thinks too much on being perfect and it makes him miss things, but he always does his best to make up for it. He's sweet like that," she said happily. He sometimes overreacted to things, but he did so much for her that she didn't care anymore and just hoped he would learn to love her. Once they step past that obstacle it seemed like their future would really and truly begin.
She could see different futures though, one where she still played human, finished high school and went to college with Sebastian at her side. However he mention he had to run his kingdom, he had no problem with her living like a human, but they wouldn't be allowed to be together all the time. She wanted to be with him though. Even if that was her wish, if she went to the demon world with him they still couldn't be together like she wanted. Although, it probably wouldn't be as lonely if she had a baby. Blushing, Larisa shook her head, she couldn't think like that, a baby wasn't something you had to make you feel less lonely. A baby was supposed to be born from love, it was supposed to be a desire both parents had. It could be born through chance, or maybe even a mistake, but it was going to be born through love, at least if it was her it would.
She wondered what a baby of hers and Sebastian's would look like, she definitely wanted to have a boy first. Despite the pain her brothers were she definitely want a little boy first, second, and third, her little girl would be the last. Make her a little princess with protective big brothers. If her baby girl wanted a little sister and brother though she would gladly give them that. She had always wanted a baby sister as well. Ciel was great and she wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world, but it would have been nice to have a little baby sister. She would dress her up and help her with boys, even if she barely had any experience with a boys.
Shaking her head, she sighed, there was no need to think that far ahead. She and Sebastian were still just a couple at this moment, even if he was a demon and had all this planned. She was still a teenager who didn't need to think about this to heavily. Stepping into a clearing both paused at what laid before them. "Sugoi! Watashitachiha, sukētorinku o tsukuru koto ga dekimasu!" she cried happily.
"English!" snapped Ciel.
Chuckling, Larisa blushed, "Great. We can make a skating rink," she said nervously. Doing her best to ignore her little brother's glare. He was really glaring at her. "Sorry, but I haven't ice skated in years! I was happy to find out we could ice skate now, I hate having to go to ice rings, to many people!" she said rolling her eyes.
Rolling his eyes, he pointed out, "We don't even know if it's safe," he said annoyed.
Smiling Larisa took a step out and slowly made her way across the ice, something that gave Ciel a heart attack, "Larisa! Come back! It's too dangerous what if you fall through! I can't pull you out and by the time I get someone you could drown! Ice water numbs you real fast now get off the ice, right now!" he yelled panic. Smiling Larisa turned back to face him, then to play with him a little she jumped up and down on the ice.
Watching him blanch, she laughed amused, "Don't worry, the ice is thick so let's go get our skates. I brought my just in case!" she said happily only to fall and slip. Landing on her butt, she groaned before it turned into a growl at Ciel's laughter. "Don't laugh at me jerk!" she yelled. Pushing herself up she nearly fell on her butt once more before she caught herself at the last moment.
Once back at the shore she struck Ciel before they headed back toward the house, stepping inside both of them paused at the raised voices. "What's going on?" she questioned, shrugging Ciel stepped further into the house with her and followed the voices to the den. Stepping in the room she found her brothers standing in front of Sebastian with a flyer in hand. "What's that?" she asked gaining their attention. The moment the twins saw her though they wore twin looks of worry, "What did you two do?" she asked knowingly. She had seen that look many times before.
Sighing Sebastian walking over to her, taking the flyer from the twins on the way, "It would seem your brothers enter you into a contest without your knowledge or permission. So congratulations and surprised Larisa! It would seem that you're this year's Ms. Snow Queen!" said Sebastian showing her their flyer. Taking it from him, Larisa glowered, the flyer was full of bright colors and in the middle was a picture of her, it was one of those professional ones her mother made her take. She had been out with her friends in a costume shop when she found some snow queen costume. Her mother loved it so much she made her get professional photos in it. Something that annoyed her to no end!
However, what angered her the most was the title of this flyer, "Win a date with Mount Aurora's new Snow Queen!" she cried furious.
"What?!" cried Ciel rushing forward, ripping the flyer from her hand.
Sighing, Kouji groaned, "We didn't know that was going to happen," he muttered, all the while Kouichi nodded in agreement.
Crumpling up the flyer, Larisa threw it in his face, "I'm not doing this!" she yelled annoyed.
Chuckling Sebastian picked it up from the floor, "Now, now, why not? I'll win the date with you, there is no way I would let my Queen fall into another's hands!" he said smirking.
Grimacing, Larisa crossed her arms, "I'm not doing this!" she yelled.
Laughing, Kouichi shook his head, "You kind of have to Lala, once a bunch of these guy saw your picture a lot sighed up to win a date with you. It's for charity and if theirs no Queen they can't really do the event which means no money for the animal shelter," he said smirking. He knew that would get her hook, line, and sinker. His baby sister was a bleeding heart for animals, even if she wasn't the biggest fan of dogs, she would rather die than see one suffer. Watching her face go through the emotions he grinned when she finally fell defeated, "I'll send off your response then, know your helping many helpless animals, Lala! They really appreciate it!" he said happily.
Whining, Larisa sulked off to her room, suddenly the idea of ice skating had disappeared from her mind and she only worried. What weirdos would sign up for a freaking date with some girl they never met, she was pretty but not like that. Throwing herself onto her bed, she groaned, she hated this so much and she hated them! Even if it was for charity, they shouldn't have done this without her permission they were such idiots! Listening to her door opened, she sat up and looked over to see Sebastian smiling at her. "Don't try to make me feel better, I want to be angry!" she snapped.
Nodding, he walked over to her and sat on her bed before pulling her close, "Your brother's are good men, I'm happy that they care so much for you. Every day they challenge me to see if I'm worthy of their baby sister! I see how much they care for you," he said not touching that subject. Shrugging at that she laid back on her bed, "Their challenges haven't given us to much time together, if you aren't too tired what do you say to a secret date tonight?" he asked her, leaning over her.
Smiling, she turned to face him, "I want to go ice skating," she told him.
Nodding, he stood up, "Be ready tonight at midnight, if no one is with you or with me I'll pick you up and we can go skating on your pond," he told, tossing her a small wave before leaving her alone. Sitting up, Larisa gave a small sigh, well at least he would always be able to take a bad situation and turn it into a good one. This one was beyond bad in her opinion.
The forest at night was enchanting, it was beautiful and made her think of magic. Stomping though the snow with skates hanging over her shoulder, Larisa followed after Sebastian. He had changed to his normal self, it had been a nice change of pace. It felt like an eternity since she had seen her true demon king and she really missed him. His teen self was nice, but a real man would always be better! He stuck out like a sore thumb however, he was dressed in all black with his raven hair falling into his face perfectly. His black really stuck out against the white of the snow.
She decided to once more play his opposite and wore all white, she thought it would be best since they were sneaking around. Shivering, she could feel her legs freezing from the snow, "I've been a very bad boyfriend," said Sebastian turning toward her. Picking her up he leaped into the air with her in his arms, he soared through the trees and before she knew it they were at the lake. "I should have done this in the first place, not to mention my bride should have gotten a better choice of clothing!" he said teasingly.
Looking away embarrassed she crossed her arms and looked away, "Excuse me for wanting to look cute! Also I didn't think I would be running around in the snow so much. I mostly planned on staying cooped up inside, I should have figured I wouldn't be though. My own fault, I'll just have to double the tights," she said annoyed. It would probably make her legs look bad though, but if she didn't want her legs to freeze it was something that would have to be done. It was either risk having her legs look bad or leave her family alone with Sebastian. Who knew what would happen if she did that? She didn't know for sure and she didn't want to know for sure.
Nodding, Sebastian set her down on a log before slipping off her boots and putting on her skates allowing her to tie the laces. "Thank you very much!" she said happily. Nodding he simply snapped his fingers and skates appear. "Seriously demon magic must be the most useful substance out there. It can do anything!" she said amused. If he could put it in a bottle he would probably be able to make millions if not trillions, but it would also probably ruin the world. If you could have what you want at the snap of your fingers, humans would use it for evil and selfishness. She was no different, if she could have what she wanted at the snap of her fingers. One of the only kind things she would do was probably make all animals have happy lives. There would be no suffering for them, she would make sure the animals would be alright. Humans though, she might help children and the elderly, but she didn't really like humans all that much anymore.
She wondered if this meant she was spending too much time with demons.
Getting pulled to her feet by Sebastian, Larisa was pulled out on the ice, steadying herself she almost slipped only to get caught at the very last moment. "You seem lost in thought," he said amused.
Smiling, she nodded, "I'm just wondering about something is all," she said quietly.
"Your voice sounds so heavy, did I make you upset again?" he asked.
Shaking her head, she sighed, "No you have nothing to do with it, it was me. I'm starting to think I've turned heartless, I was thinking if I had your abilities the only good thing I would do is help animals. My first thought wouldn't be to help humans and even if someone ask me to I don't know if I would want to. When I look at them, I can't but help think humans are bad. Demons may feed off humans, but you're honest about your nature. Humans, they put on face and there are some who are good, but their out weight by the selfish. Do you think that makes me a bad person?" she asked curious.
Chuckling, he shook his head no before spinning her around, "No, a cynic yes, but not evil. Evil would use their abilities selfishly, to kill simply because they don't like someone. Would you do that?" he asked her getting a no from her. Smiling, he gracefully pulled her around the ice, it was almost as if they were in a dance, "No if anything you might use extreme means to rid the world of evil, means that would make you appear evil. What you would do though, would be done with good intentions however," he said dancing across the ice with her.
Smiling, Larisa looked up at him happily, "Do you really believe that, or are you just trying to make me feel better?" she asked amused.
Shaking his head, Sebastian spun her around like they were in a waltz, "No it is something I believe, most humans are like this. Not that I'm saying your common, it's just the truth. Now let's have fun my queen, nothing heavy for the rest of the night," he said amused.
"You're the King!" she said happily
She hated her family, more specifically, she hated her mother and Kouichi! Standing in front of her they both held up outfits she did not agree with. Both made no sense to her, yet somehow made perfect sense to the idiot duo. Crossing her arms, Larisa closed her eyes and took a calming breath as she tried to rid herself of her angry. She would gain nothing from getting angry, all she would get was elevated blood pressure, possibly hurt her mother's fragile feelings, and not to mention get in trouble.
Opening her eyes back up, she bit her lip as the outfits glared at her.
She didn't know where he got the dress, but he had a pure white dress lined in what she hoped was fake fur, it tried around the neck and over her shoulders was a hooded cloak. It was also lined in fur and he got her fuzzy knee-high boots. It would hardly protect her from the cold and looked like something from sexy female costumes, she was pretty sure lots of leg and chest would be seen. It annoyed her to no end that he thought she would actually wear that! Did he really think she would wear that? If the answer was yes he did, she really wanted to hit him! Not to mention it didn't even fit into the theme of winter, expect maybe it was white.
It was the same with her mother, she wasn't quite sure where her mother got the dress but it was strange just like Kouichi. She at least got somewhat with the theme, her mother gave her a cutesy snowman outfit. A cute strapless white dress with three black puff-balls that acted as buttons, the skirt was bell-shaped and would go to her knees. She gave her black tights with white knee-high boots, she also would be wearing elbow length black gloves. Then to complete it she would get a red scarf and a little black top hat. Even if it was more appropriate she still didn't want to wear it.
Letting out an annoyed sigh, she turned away from the both of them, "I hate you two so much right now!" she grumbled under her breath.
Rolling his eyes, Kouichi walked forward, "Oh come on Lala, don't you want to make your boyfriend drool you can do it if you wear the right clothes. You're not that bad-looking, sure your no model, but a man never complained about a woman with curves! It wouldn't kill you to tone up though, but you're still plenty cute, I wouldn't date you though," said Kouichi eyeing her.
Standing up, Larisa took a deep breath, "Well thank you for adding to already long list of insecurities I have about my body. Truly thank you, now I'm going to go that way. If you follow me, know that you are likely to be shot!" she snapped annoyed. She may not have the perfect body, but she thought she was okay. Like Sam once said, the body is the face, if they only go by face value that boy isn't worth your time! It was good advice, but still hard to believe when she looked as gorgeous as she did. She would choose to believe it though, because it was the truth. If you fall out of love with a person because they aren't perfect then you weren't truly in love. Although, she wondered if that was what was keeping Sebastian from loving her. Did demon men even put a price on looks?
Feeling depression crush her like a wave, Larisa slunk off into the house feeling very much depressed shuffling past her demon king she sighed. Feeling his eyes on her, he paused in the hall as she slunk passed him, she was really feeling the depression now. Feeling him follow after her, she chose to ignore the demon king and continue on. "Is there a reason you're so depressed?" he questioned.
Looking at him, she shook her head no, "Nope, just my brother being a dick. You know, the usual," she said walking away. Nodding he trailed after her still, "It's really nothing, you don't have to follow me, I promise I'm not mad at you," she said continuing on her way. All the while he kept following after her, keeping at least an arm length away. "You can go away now!" she said bored.
Smiling, he shook his head no, "No, your upset. I wouldn't be a good boyfriend if I left you alone when you're so upset. Now tell me my queen, what is it that troubles you?" he questioned. Sighing, she rolled her eyes at him, she really didn't feel like coming up with something. It would be weird and awkward to talk to him about her looks, he mentioned them before but what would he say if she asked directly. He spoke honestly and only gave an overall judgment of her looks. What would he say when he gave an in-depth judgment?
That wouldn't be pretty, she was pretty sure that it would turn out ugly. He would probably start listing off everything and telling her how it was almost perfect. Shivering, she shook her head, she didn't need to think about that! She needed to focus on finding something to wear. "Alright, since you won't share might I make a request?" he questioned her, the cheer never leaving his voice.
"Must you be so happy all the time?" she asked annoyed.
Smiling he nodded, "I have a request on what you should wear for this event your brother's roped you in, I know you're displeased with the selection you mother and brother have given. So I've gotten an outfit I hope you will wear, it fits with the theme and you've worn it before," said Sebastian happily.
Looking back, Larisa was surprised to see him holding up the first dress she wore at Winter's in his hands and it confused her. He never even saw her in that dress, not to say she didn't like it. "How? I mean you never even saw me in that!" she cried shocked. Was he there and just didn't show up or did he read her mind or something or somehow get it out of Avalanche?
Smiling at her confusion, he shook his head no, "Gregory thought you looked like a vision in it. He made a drawing of you and color it in, gave it to me before I left. I have to admit he's an excellent artist, he captured you perfectly! I could see the worry and fright reflected in your eyes perfectly, the determination to protect them in your face, and the want to cry out for me in your lips. I've looked at this painting many times since that event, you are most lovely my bride. Especially when the clothes reflect your beauty. Also I happen to like your body the way it is. You're not a model but you're very curvy and plump! I like a woman with her curves, not to mention if you remember in our past I did mention to you my preferences for women!" he said amused, the blush in Larisa face growing.
Turning around embarrassed, she glared ahead, "Nobody asked you!" she yelled running off.
Watching her run away, he chuckled, "Oh but my queen I could hear you insecure cries from a mile away!" he said making his way after her.
The day of the stupid contest arrived, she ended up wearing Sebastian's costume and her mother bushed her hair into pigtails, despite Larisa protest. She always thought pigtails were rather childish, but he mother wouldn't listen and continued on tying her hair up in twin tails. Sitting in a windowless room, she wondered what the competition might be. Some snow related sport like snowboarding or skiing, maybe even something like ice sculpting.
She figured it had to be, they were in the mountain with snow all around them and she was the Snow Queen at the moment. The events at least had to fit in with the theme, didn't it? At least that was the logical guess. You really wouldn't want to hold a water skiing in the mountains, nor a sand sculpturing contest, or any other summer thing. Maybe ice fishing, no, that was stupid. There was also the possibility of it being multiple event, then they always add a scavenger hunt. She really hated those, she always lost because she could never find anything. It was like the stuff really avoid her. Where other loser found eight of the items, she was lucky to find even three.
The game of scavenge was her weakness.
Standing up, Larisa stretched her muscle before going to the door, they said she could walk around the ski lodge and since she was getting cramped up she would take their offer. Yawning out loud, Larisa cover her mouth and began to make her way out the door. She really hoped Sebastian won, she found out many of the people who signed up were forced to by their parents. A lot of wealthy families had winter houses up here. A lot of the contestants were forced into this because their parents wanted the date to lead to a relationship. That way they could get in bed with Funtom, so most were rich boys forced into this. They would probably stare at her the whole night with dislike reflected in their eyes. Then there was actually a few who were just looking for a date, she guessed some got dumped or just want an actual date.
Walking around the lodge boredly, Larisa yawned, she was so epically bored right now! She wished Sebastian was here, he always made boring things interesting. Mostly because she could spend all her time staring at him, he was so pretty! He was like an anime character that you wanted to come to life, he was just so gorgeous. Sighing, Larisa paused when a gust of cold wind swept over her, shivering she looked around and found a door open leading outside. Gazing at it she walked down and shut the door before walking away, "Do they really think I'm that stupid?!" she asked insulted. Seriously Claude was losing his touch, did he really think she was willing to walk out the door straight in his arms. "Really Claude, I'm insulted!" she said knowing he could hear.
Turning she found him at the end of the hall leaning against the wall, "I just needed to get you in the hall, it got you in the hall!" he said smirking. Frowning, Larisa looked back to find the end of the hall gone, it was a swirling mass of shadows. "Don't worry my dear you won't be harmed at all, in fact I promise I'm going to treat you just right," he said smirking. Looking at him nervously, Larisa began to back away not really sure she wanted to be with Claude at the moment. He looked unstable.
Gazing at him nervously, she gave him a timid smile, "Claude, could we not do a kidnapping today, please? I'm with my family! Please don't," she asked hopeful.
Staring down at Claude frowned, "I'm willing to compromise, but I will take you. I'll give you till tomorrow night, however, if you tell Sebastian about me you will transport to my side. Whether you're in front of your parents, brothers, or other humans. I'll give you till midnight tomorrow, around that time Sebastian will be visited by a companion of mine. When that happens you are to go to the lake and you'll be picked up by me," he said crossing his arms.
Looking at him, Larisa looked down, "Why do you want me to come to you?" she asked him.
Watching Larisa gaze nervously at the floor, he shrugged, it wasn't like he could keep it a secret or like he even wished to keep it a secret. It would be easy to just tell her the truth, "For once in my life I beat Sebastian, I love you Larisa. Demons aren't meant to feel these feelings, you've cursed me and now I intend to make you pay for what you've done. Either you come to me tomorrow, spirit away like girls did in legends, or the demon will come kidnap the princess. I'll show who I am to your parents and tell them who Sebastian is. They'll reject you, your parents they may love you Larisa but they won't accept who you love. So you can love him, keep your parents love, but belong to me and stay with me," he said quietly.
Looking at him, she glared, "What no other choices?" she asked angry.
Smirking, he shook his head no, "We both know there is no other choice for you," he said quietly.
Sitting quietly, back in the room from before, Larisa could feel her mind going a mile a minute. She wasn't entirely sure what she should do. It seemed like all she had was a single choice. Go with Claude to make sure her life went on normally, even if she wasn't going to be there to appreciate it. At least her parents could have peace, they would eventually get over her. Or maybe Sebastian would be kind enough to take memories of her from them. She wonder if there was a way for her to ask him to do it. She would rather her family not be burden with her mistake.
It was her fault, they shouldn't have to suffer by demons because of her choice. They would probably be better off forgetting she ever existed in the first place. Sighing, Larisa jumped at the sound of voice, standing up she forced on an annoyed face. That's what she was feeling before and if there hadn't been any interruptions, it's what she would have felt now. Standing up, she watched as Sebastian walked into the room with a smile. Letting her face melt into a smile herself, she walked forward, "You won?" she asked him amused.
Smirking, he nodded, "Did you really have any doubt!" he asked amused.
Smiling she chuckled, "I really should stop doubting you huh?" she said amused.
Staring down, he nodded, "You really should Larisa. I will always come to your rescues my queen, no matter what happens I will always find you. No matter how far you go, no matter what it looks like I will always find my bride," he said giving her a meaningful gaze.
Chuckling, she shook her head, "I thought I told you to stop being Prince Charming," she said.
Smirking, he shook his head no, "No my dear, you told me to stop acting like Prince Charming to other women, you said nothing about me acting as Prince Charming to you! So I intend to charm my queen every chance I get! Now the date is up to us, we can set something up with restaurants, but considering that isn't my bride's style I just reserved a lift ride for us. You mentioned to me that it would make a nice date if we could get one alone up the entire mountain then back down," he said smirking. He was talking about one of those enclosed ones, it could house a number of people and had windows so you could see the mountain but stay enclosed in warmth. She mentioned it offhandedly, but go figure Price Charming would remember.
Smiling, Larisa sighed, "Prince Charming, is what you are, but it doesn't sound right when I say and think it. How about Demon Charming, no a little too crass. I guess Charming is just fine," she said shrugging, she didn't need to think about this. She needed to spend some time with him and not to mention her family. Before she knew it midnight tomorrow would come and she would be left with Claude, she could hope Sebastian would find her, but she had a feeling Claude was playing for keeps.
He would hide her and she didn't think even Yuki would be able to track her down, that included the ever knowing Undertaker. Why else would he come to them and say all that he did? Although, he told Sebastian to hurry up and fall in love with her before some other demon swooped her up. Did this mean Claude was going to try to make her love him in earnest? Actually, did Claude really love her? She couldn't think anyone in love could really be selfish, but Sebastian mentioned he was a selfish creature and he wouldn't let go of her. Was he really any different from Claude, if they weren't bound and he had to make her love him and fall in love with her? If he found her by chance, would he fall in love with her like Claude and love her selfishly like him and try to forcefully gain her love?
Sighing, she ignored Sebastian's questioning gaze, she had a lot to think about.
Well I hoped you enjoyed, if you feel like dropping a word I would appreciate it!
