Ciel looked around the corner at the door of the apartment they were surveying, "Are you sure that she will be able to help us in what we need to do?"
The 'she' in question felt her eye tick from her place next to the black-haired butler – her mind was still laced with sleep as she was forcibly dragged from bed and dressed – simply a coat over her nightgown and shoes hastily put on her feet – by the Devil, "I still don't see why 'm even 'ere in the first place… "
She just wanted to curl up under her nice and thick—warm—duvet, and sleep even if the party was a couple of days ago.
The young Earl looked over at her, "I don't even know why I even allowed Sebastian to talk me into allowing you here."
The red-eyed butler smile at the boy, bowing with his hand over his heart, "My Lord, she is quite the asset—"
"—My book's going to get wet in such weather if it does rain, though—" Kagome interrupted.
"—and her abilities will prove useful in ways that I might not." Sebastian finished, acting as if he wasn't just interrupted, giving a wide smile to the short-haired woman next to him who clutched her book to her chest protectively – looking asleep on her feet. However, his gaze was drawn away from her momentarily.
Ciel gave a scoff, crossing his arms and resting against the wall behind him, "If we stand here on guard, that guy will really come, right?"
"Mm, because there's only one entrance, and this is also the only path."
The preteen looked around the corner to gaze at the door at the end of the alley, "So the murderer's next target is Mary Kelly, who lives in that room?"
"Yes. I've told you many times I haven't got it wrong."
He returned to leaning against the wall, "It's true that apart from their missing internal organs, they also have 'something in common.' However, must that person really need to go around killing people? And also, I—"
"—did you listen to me? Sebastian!"
The black-haired butler didn't look at all ashamed, as he was crouched low to the ground, a black cat held to his chest gently, "Ah, I'm so sorry. My mind wandered off… It's rare to see this sort of beauty, so I…"
"We're not keeping it! Let it go quickly!"
"I understand…" he reluctantly let the cat wiggle out of his grip, "And so cute too…"
The short-haired young woman cracked open an eye to observe the two she was accompanying, stance faltering before she righted herself with a small groan. She placed one hand on her back as she went about popping it, unfortunately still clad in her nightgown in front of two men.
The nails on her ring finger were just about all purple. All that remained after them would be her pinkies. She rested her head against the upper arm of the man next to her, and Sebastian looked over to her, a brow nearly raised.
He was quite warm, and it was cold out this night.
The so-far peaceful night was horribly interrupted by a sharp scream.
People are lucky I'm in love with this story or I wouldn't be updating at this time. Been up for about ten hours now. I rather prefer the manga to the anime, anyways. I'm trying to find a way to incorporate anime-only people into the story.
