CHAPTER START
A young man stood in flames of a burning manor as he saw a woman in grey… smiling ever so lovingly to him… it was a beautiful and horrible sight. Such angelic features on her face only to be a demonic turn as the fires made the shadows on her faces seem sinister. The woman took a knee in front of him eyes as she spoke,
"C'est magnifique, no?" The woman asked the young boy.
He didn't show any emotion, he clenched his fist and shook his head, "For me… it's always going to be like this…" As the words echoed, the ceiling collapsed on them, silencing the sounds forevermore!

On a foggy morning in England, in a particular manor, inside a room was a young man in a king sized bed, lazily fumbling in his sleep. The door to the room opened softly, as a brunette maid came in while holding a tray of food. She placed it next to bed, as the woman hands went to the boy's shoulders gently nudging him
"Master, it's time to get up for breakfast."
"Five more minutes, Char…" The young man groaned, as he turned over.
"That won't do, Master. Your food is going to get cold. We don't want the head chef to be scolding you over wasting food again, now do we?"
"Do I have to…?"
"Yes, Master. It's the most important meal of the day. And you can't start the day on an empty stomach. Now please get up." She said politely to the young man. "Come, your brother needs you to join today's meeting…" she gently reminded him, as he looked at the plate. It was a single cast iron skillet filled with blood sausage slices, bacon, baked beans, eggs, heirloom tomatoes, cheesy potato and lots of parsley. Next to it was a large baguette to eat along with it. The woman in front of him soon had a large teapot, "Request for tea?"
"Is it early grey?" He asked as the woman nodded softly, "Then yes."
As he began eating, rather sloppy as well, as the food was delicious… not surprising him. But the face was still stunning as the woman simply stared at him. While most would have been put off, the young didn't care before standing up. Having his arms out and the woman proceeded to undress him slowly, her hands caressing his muscles and taking the time to enjoy his body. When leaving him in his drawers she whispered softly, "You have gotten so handsome since then…" her voice held no seduction or sultry manners, it was just adoration for her master.
"Have I?" The boy asked, turning his head to see her getting a fresh clean button shirt. "I always look the same," he declared as the woman helped pull his new pants on, shaking her head to his dismissal.
She moved back to see him, donning a dark suit with an odd symbol on his jacket's breast pocket. It was a unique and odd red one only few had seen in his life. "Nonsense, I think you've grown up quite nicely. Both physically and mentally."
"How did you come to that conclusion?" The boy questioned, but the maid gave a soft giggle, as if it were a jest.
"Now that would be telling, Master." She bowed as the two walked out of his room, before watching three people rushing out… one of which was wearing a mouse suit. "Oh dear, oh dear… this is rather embarrassing."
"This is the third time this week…" The young man sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Unlike his servants, these three were very… human, thus leading to all sorts of wacky moments. Normally he would be fun, but today was a more serious event. "Tell her to help them."
The woman merely bowed leaving him alone, the young man only stared out where he saw another manor not too far from where he was at currently. His own home, he scratched the back of his head, "Damn, I really need more sleep."
"That you do… brother."
A young voice belongs to a child, considering the tone was not even close to an adult, the child is a short teenage boy with grayish blue-black hair and rich peacock-blue eyes. His arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim, and his waist narrow. The young typically dress in a way that suits his noble standing, which today was a light purple suit with black shorts that most young males would wear.
He walked up to the older male, a smile- no, it was a cocky smirk that the blonde knew better to see on the younger man's face. As he never shows a true smile since they came back from hell, "Glad to see you are able to deal with the morning more than I." The blonde responded as he bowed his head, "Ciel."
The young boy now named Ciel gave a curt nod, "Thank you, are you able to stay for the meeting this time?" He said with a knowing smirk on his face, as the blonde scratched the back of his head. "It would look bad for the Grail that the Queen uses from time to time to not be seen. Naruto…"
"I understand, don't worry I will stay for it." Naruto chuckled as he saw a tall man in tow, right behind the younger boy as he bowed to the blonde teen. "Sebastian…" Naruto kindly nodded. He was a tall, handsome adult with black hair, red eyes, pale skin, and black fingernails and the back of his left hand contains the mark of his Faustian contract with Ciel.
He was dressed in a butler's outfit, which consists of black trousers, a six-buttoned double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest; on is his shirt cuffs and tie is the Phantomhive crest. He also sports white gloves, a pocket watch, and a chained silver lapel pin bearing the Phantomhive crest, which is traditionally worn by the house's head butler.
"Merry morning to you Lord Naruto." The butler smiled kindly as Charlotte bowed kindly to him, "As to your as well Miss Charlotte."
"A fine morning to you as well, Sir Sebastian." She curtsy and lifted her dress slightly upwards to properly greet her fellow servant. "Has her ladyship sent her word?"
The youngest boy looked at his black clad servant who smiled eerily, "…Alas it seems she will not, perhaps well as Ciel just finally got over her treating him like a-" The man stopped with a copyist smile as his young charge glared at him from the corner of his eye. "Hmhmhm, never mind."
"I see." Charlotte nodded in understanding, but if one looked closely to her eyes they held great relief at the news. "Have you eaten yet, Lord Phantomhive?" She asked as Ciel scoffed at her rather unneeded kindness. "I see, as long as you have eaten." Charlotte giggled softly at the response.
"Oh come now, Young Master. No need to be so uptight." Sebastian chuckled.
The boy didn't care for the two teasing as he went on ahead, "Do what you want until the meeting happens." He turned to Naruto and Charlotte who nodded at his orders. Sebastian gave them a polite nod of his head.
The two stood there as Charlotte spoke aloud, "Its been a rather eventful few years has it not… master?" She asked softly as the young man nodded, she turned to see a small scar on the back of his neck with a longingly gaze. Eyes soften and turn watery as the sight and time they spent.
"Eventful is an understatement." Naruto sighed softly, as he looked at the sky and shrugged. "Mind coming with me to our home?" He asked walking already without her response, with his servant rushing to catch up to his side.
"Should we not prepare for the meeting?" She asked as the two were already outside and walking down a grassy slope, to see another mansion almost identical as the one they left.
"We will. A small detour won't hurt."
The maid nodded as she placed her hands behind her back as the two entered the mansion, their home that belonged to Naruto only. "I'm surprised it took her barely a week to get this done… all those poor workers nearly killed themselves to make her smile."
"Well this is her we're talking about." Charlotte smiled sheepishly with a sweat drop.
"Remind me to handsomely reward those workers for their efforts." Naruto deadpan at the sight of the crawling men to him and that woman to tell them they were done. Only wishing to see her smile and nearly dying all over again when given that honor.
Charlotte giggled behind a fist as she nodded, "Already did dear Master, still my coworker also made sure they ate and made their meals. So don't feel bad for them, besides~" She suddenly glomp him.
"H-Hey, what are you-" The blonde blushed before she pushed him gently to a wall, her arms on both of his sides to cut his chances from escaping to zero.
There was love in her eyes… pure love that he knew from watching his deceased parents had before they left him and his brother. "Please know that… may it be my body or powers, I shall give all to you… my beloved master Naruto.." She gently reminded while caressing his cheek in a gentle manner, as if her fingers were made of feathers gentle and soft to Naruto's feel.
The young man looked down with a blush, damn he was always weak to her words like that "Charlotte, I…"
"Yes, Master?" She said with a head tilt that made her gaze more adorable.
He didn't say anything before lifting his hand and pulling on her cheek, "No teasing, wasn't that an order I have for you?"
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow~ I'm sowwy, Master~!" Charlotte whined, as the pinched cheek was gradually turning red. "You know I can't heal right if it's from you~!" She complained cutely as Naruto indeed let go of her cheek. Despite the mean action, the maid didn't lose her smile as her master chuckled.
"You know, whenever you're here, I can feel like how things used to be." He spoke honestly as he looked at a painting of two adults. One that almost looks exactly like Ciel but with Sebastian's whole body type and face, while the woman was a long haired strawberry blonde woman wearing a lovely orange dress.
"How so, Master?" Charlotte asked, rubbing the affected cheek that pinched her.
"I'm smiling more…" he said as Charlotte stopped her little rub forgoing her pain to see her master's pain. "But I will help Ciel find who did this to us… to him as well…" he muttered as he clenched his fist tightly as she saw a red liquid dripping from his rage. "And when we do… we'll make them pay tenfold…"
The maid in white dare not speak as it was not in place to quell her lord's rightful hatred… nor her right… yet. For now only three people have that right, his brother, their Queen, and his betrothed. She only fell to her knees while placing her hands and forehead to the ground to submit her whole body and subservience. "Yes… Master."

"Still… bored…" Naruto whined as only one person came to the meeting, does nobility mean to ignore schedules and arrive fashionably late? He was still waiting for the others to arrive, as he and Charlotte return to see the person arrive, now Naruto was in the billiard room relaxing on a large comfy chair.
"Oh dear them, does my dear nephew wish for me to take his exam early?" A playful voice asked the young man as he blushed at the insinuation of that idea and sighed as he turned his head to see who it was.
"That won't be necessary…" Naruto said as he immediately sat up straight, looking straight at the woman who was smirking at him before giving a sexy wink at him. "Madam Red."
Befitting her title as "Madam Red," she possesses red eyes and crimson hair styled as a bob cut. She often wears red lipstick and clothing; one of her customary outfits consists of a red skirt, a red waistcoat, a ruffled white blouse, a red hat, and black gloves. "Dear nephew, won't you call me, Auntie Angelina again?" She asked sweetly, draping herself over his shoulders, with a rare kind smile. "You're still young to allow yourself to be a bit carefree."
"Sorry, Madam Red. But you know the rules, as members of this society we must keep our lives as separate as separate from our everyday ones." Naruto frowned at his aunt, who sighed, at the truth, but still hugged him from behind.
"I know, but Rachel would never forgive me if I don't say these things… she loves you as much as Ciel." She whispered knowing how hard it was for him to learn of their deaths.
He lowered his head, as the words rang deep in his heart. "Thank you, sometimes I wonder and even if it's not true… I believe they love him more than me at times."
"Oh Naruto, you know that's not true at all."
But before she could say anything else, she stopped when a door opened to show a man that made her face twisted in disgust as he had a beautiful girl striding behind him, "Ahh, the good older brother of our esteem Earl is here, good day Grail." He bowed kindly with a kind smile, and full sincerity. "Ah… and it seems you had another lover into your budding harem~"
"…Who?" Naruto and Madam Red asked, one being confused and the other nearly ready to pop the man's head open.
"Ahh dear me, I have forgotten~ your aunt, despite looking young and lovely, it is your aunt, please forgive-" He stopped his smiling vanished when the girl behind him stood in front of him protectively when the red dressed woman walked forward. Despite his sudden shift in mood, the direction of that frown wasn't to Madam Red but the girl in front of him, "Easy, Ran-Mao…" He warned like telling a guardian dog to back off from a fight it would no doubt lose.
"You had better watch your tongue." Madam Red spat venomously as the guardian of the man lost her defensive look and aura. "I don't like how you say such things to my darling nephews, Lau." The woman gave a dark warning as the man's frown returned to a disarming smile.
"My, my, such hostility." He chuckled but nodded, "Very well, I'll leave the humor of mistress and married women for when they are older." He jest… at least Naruto is certainly hoping he was for both his sake and that man in front of him. "So… it's time for the meeting huh? I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this." The man named Lau said in a dark and serious manner.
…
…
…
"So what is the meeting even about?" He quickly said as the silence nearly caused Naruto and his aunt to fall down from his misdirection!
"You cannot be serious!" Madam Red shouted incredulously.
"Unfortunately, I am, my dear." Lau shrugged his shoulders. "I wasn't given the full details."
"Then why…" Naruto started but remember this was the type of man Lau was, he acted like a fool… and times will definitely seem to be one. But this man is one of the few foreigners to earn his spot among them. And even fewer to earn Ciel's and Naruto's respect, as he took a seat on a luxurious couch, when making himself comfortable the Asian man allowed the girl to sit on his lap as she stoically placed her hands on his shoulders. Neither of the two seem to lust after each other or see, to be affectionate, it seems like some odd habit they have.
"Still Ran-Mao is willing to stay over if things aren't bad during this meeting, my lord." He chuckled as the girl's eyes lightened up at the idea, "After all, in my country, it's almost a way to show one status, to have a fine lap girl on your unattended leg. My sister is indeed the finest girl in all of London, I assure you~" he promised as the girl in question nodded her head rapidly, almost comical due to her stoic face unchanging as she did that.
"Hey, I will not allow any hussies near my beloved nephews when they betrothal to well class ladies!" Madam Red comically shouted pointing at the two 'siblings' trying to lead her boys down the wrong path every time they visited them! "Careful you're on thin ice mister and misses!" She warned the two as Lau sighs overdramatically while Ran-Mao huffed and puffed her cheeks out.
"Hmph…" Naruto smirked at the interesting dynamic between the two, a doctor with incredible connections, and a Chinese man who on the surface is a branch manager of a Chinese trading company. But is a top member of a criminal organization who works directly under the two young boys if he wants to do his business in peace.
They saw three more people, including Ciel as he saw the three people who were in here already. Seeing the game of pool he smirks, "Anyone fancy a game of billiards while we discuss this meeting?"

"So drugs that aren't in Lau reports are being pushed on the streets?" Naruto asked as the Chinese man nodded, scratching the back of his head.
He chuckled, although did not look the slightest bit ashamed of this, "Shipments have been the same, but no doubt someone must've paid off the men rather handsomely to give me false reports." He explained as the Phantomhive brothers nodded to his excuse, the fact they knew Lau well enough to bribe the guards and inspectors was enough to tell them who might have done this.
"Something tells me this is going to be very bothersome." Ciel sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Still, Sebastian?" He looked to the butler who attended the people with drinks and snacks.
"Yes, Young Master," He started passing a thin wine glass to Madam Red. "The bribed guards have been fired and thoroughly punished." The black themed man said with a smile all too sweet that made some of the people who had not known the man shiver in fear.
THUD~!
Everyone looked to the door that led outside to the corridor, hearing people shouting a frenzy.
"QUICK ANOTHER ONE!" A young boyish voice said as feet shuffle around as another voice and pair of feet soon was heard!
"I KNOW, CATCH IT!" An adult male's voice shouted as Naruto chuckled knowing who that was outside… were they still hunting for a rat? Was his other maid not helping them… oh wait he forgot that she wouldn't let them get caught being the gentle soul that she is.
"Looks like the cat's out of the bag." Naruto chuckled, but quickly stopped his smile. Coldly remembering he was doing his real job.
A man with a strong and stern face looked at the blue haired Earl, "Seems you're also having a rat problem as well." He stated, while adding chalk to the tip of his billiard stick, but he already did his turn and let the next man go.
A man with a slightly tan complexion was wearing a rather nice white suit jacket that was open to show a lavender purple button dress shirt. He had a gold chain around his neck with a slim cigar hanging between his lips. His blonde hair was slick back in a wild manner, and his most notable feature is his scar that ran down from the right side of his face diagonally down to the bottom left. This is Azzurro Vanel, a member of their club and a member of the Italian mafia.
"They're a problem all over." The tan scarred man scoffed before taking in another drag. He said as he lined up his stick to take a shot, "Tch, couldn't you English dogs do me a favor and not give me hard shots?"
A rather obese man huffed as he grabbed one of the sandwiches nearby his chair, as he took a bite he took a moment to look at Ciel. "And speaking of which, how much will you two will allow the vermin to run?" He said with an annoyed look while easily wolfing down the treat in his hand expertly. Naruto looked at this man, Baron Diedrich. He has been an ally to his family during his father's time when he was the leader of this esteem gathering. He is considerably overweight and sports a thick, handlebar mustache. "Someone has to take care of them, don't you think?" He also wore his usual German military outfit that was slightly a bit bigger than he was most likely to allow himself to eat more without worry about the clothes tightness.
"And someone will." Lau said, holding his own stick and allowing Ran-Mao to place her knees on both sides of his legs. "He's just waiting for the opportune moment."
"Indeed." Madam Red said. "He prefers to take care of things in one blow." She then turned her attention towards Ciel. "Will you pass on this turn too, Lord Phantomhive."
"I'll pass. It's my policy not to shoot if I know I'll miss."
Naruto allowed a smirk to break his stoic feature, "And I don't play with people know my good luck will seal the game in my favor." He muttered as Ciel also let of a amused scoff at the remark.
"That's all very well, but when will you take care of the problem?"
"We can do it anytime you like." Ciel offered, opening his only 'good' eye to look at his brother who nodded to his meaning. "After all, the rats will soon come looking for their forbidden cheese and I hold the key to the storehouse."
Azzurro's eyes twitched at that information as he accidentally sunk his white ball into the pocket, "Dammit…" he muttered at the mistake he did.
"Even so, locating that nest and making sure to snuff them out is going to be a tedious task." Ciel said in an amused tone that made his next words seem like a child tricking an adult into giving him more candy. "You should concentrate on preparing me for a suitable reward." He suggested with a coy smile on his face while the man before him glared at the audacity of his younger 'leader's' words.
No sooner had those words left that man's Naruto stood up from his spot as the other people in the room all watched as Ciel merely lifted his hand to stop it, "Sir Randell, I'd be careful how you smear our family name. I may be able to keep my composure, but my older brother is not what you call entirely trained in keeping his emotions at bay on certain topics." He warned once… and only once to this man as the sight of the older Phantomhive brother made the man nod in defeat.
The Italian member only chuckled at how Lord Arthur Randell was forced to rub shoulders with what he would call filth into his life. The commissioner of Scotland Yard had no choice but to watch, he said to the Dog and Grail of the group, one would bite his neck while other would force him to drink his poison contents. Ironically the names would have been better for each other rather than their current. "You're in trouble now Randell. What's next, Lord Phantomhive?"
"I think it's time to put an end to this worthless game, don't you think?" Ciel said, standing up from his seat and approaching Randell. "How soon can you secure the payment?"
Randell gruffed, "Tonight… I'll have it by then."
Naruto smiled with his eyes closed as he heard Baron speaking with an incredulous voice, "You passed your turn twice, and now you're after them in one go?!" He said as Naruto noticed the money on the bar, no doubt a friendly wager between them to see if Ciel was going to win due to his mastery of games and cocky personality when playing them.
"Naturally~" Ciel played with the word as if he was reminding a child that the sky was blue as it always was.
"Careful. Your greed will be your undoing…" Randell warned.
All they could hear was a ball being smacked by Ciel's stick… before they heard many of the billiards balls hitting in different pockets…
"Am I undone?" Ciel's voice was laced with sarcasm as his brother can only nod in pride on his siblings victory… in many ways.

Naruto watched from the corner window to see both Baron and Randell leaving in their carriages, "I would say I would miss them, but uncle Baron has been gaining weight lately. Better for him to stay away from Sebastian's sinfully delightful cooking." He said as he turned to see the butler smiling in appreciation at him.
"Oh Master Naruto, you flatter me. No need for such praise of a lowly butler such as I." Sebastian smiled kindly. "Ah yes, our tea, for today, is a special blend of Darjeeling."
Naruto turns his head to see Lau and Ran-Mao, again sitting in his lap, drinking their cups. "Smells lovely." He said but did not drink his tea, after all Naruto knew he preferred chai but will nonetheless drink it when he adds some sweetener or whatever he usually adds. "Tea can be excellent when made well."
As Seabastian made more tea, Naruto looked at a rather handsome, if a bit effeminate, butler who was watching him with obvious awe. Like watching a legend of their craft in their element. However Naruto turned his eyes to see his aunt speak, "Grell," she said with a serious look on her face as her butler look back with a even look on his face.
"Y-Yes my lady." Grell stood at attention.
"Learn something from Sebastian."
Grell seemed to have deflated, "Yes, my lady." While he agreed his superior was better in his job than he was, it still hurt for his beloved mistress to say that so openly to others.
"Just look at him." Madam Red said eyes full of calculated prowess in them… before she suddenly began touching the black themed butler all over, making said butler shiver. "His physique! You should quit this country job and come work for me in the city~!"
"Madam Red, stop sexually harassing Sebastian!" Naruto cried out, as his aunt seemed to lose her pervervious smile and snapped out of it!
"Whoops~!" She rubbed the back of her head with a bright blush on her schoolgirl habits striking hard again. "Sorry~ I couldn't help it." The lady in red tried to excuse her mistake, until she kill what little serious she had left, "He look like he needed a physical…just a doctor's ha~bit~"
Naruto nearly snorted at the almost singsong voice she gave in the last word, "Right doctor's habit…" he muttered as they turned to Lau who set his tea down.
"So, do you believe the drug trafficker you're after was one of your guests today?" He asked no doubt, wondering the reason for calling the others rather than just them.
The Aristocrats of Evil, a group of Noblemen in England who stamp out illegal crimes that the Queen deem unnecessary or hurt her country. Despite her views on stamping out most crimes and drugs, she does allow some like Lau and Azzurro who are from different countries and are in crime syndicates to let them operate. Although its under strict supervision of Naruto and Ciel's watchful eye, as if they start to go out of line they will be targeted for their own misdeeds. The fact that Azzurro is just one of the newest members does seem to be right in Phantomhive line of thinking, but Lau also knew that there are way too many dirty cops no matter how high up the chain they are in. So Arthur was a good suspect to watch over, no doubt his hatred of being forced to collude with them.
Of course he also had some thoughts on betraying the two at an early time of his life… but… "Hmhmhm~" he chuckled as the Chinese man played with a faded scar on his wrist as a reminder that they are things scarier than demons and monsters from the tale he grew up with. And those four are standing in this room with the only two normal women here.
"Perhaps…" Ciel cryptically said as Lau stood up, allowing Ran-Mao to strut towards someone else…
Madam Red set her tea down on the table as she looked at her youngest nephew, "Why not leave the extermination to Lau?" She said with a curious look on her face, "A rat knows best where a rat's nest is, doesn't he?" The crimson clad woman suggested as Lau chuckled at her rather mean joke.
Reaching behind the Earl's chair he leaned down with an arm on top of the chair, "I'm but a trained pet dedicated to my Lord." He reminded the lady of his oath to the two, before making his rested hand shift towards Ciel's head. Gently rubbing it like an older brother would, "If the Earl instructs me not to act, I'm bound to do nothing~" He chuckled at the boy who merely wasn't bothered by his physical contact.
But in a less than a moment, Madam Red had her beloved nephew in her grasp glaring venomously at Lau for pawing on her kin! "Watch it!" She shouted almost breathing fire at the man from how hot her words were. "You'd best keep your filthy paws off my darling nephew!"
The man raised his arms in an amused manner as if being caught red handed in a friendly game between good mates. "You wound me~" he dramatically cried out on the act of assassination on his character from his long time friend. "I would never paw at him in his own home, dear Madam~" He chuckled using the exact words to rile her up, and it did… oh it did.
"ARE YOU SAYING YOU WOULD IF YOU ELSEWHERE!?" She dropped Ciel from her hands to point her arms in his direction, "Careful! you're on thin ice now mister!" The aunt of the Phantomhive brothers caution Lau despite him merely jesting to get a rise from her.
"Well what about my dear sister Ran-Mao?" He pointed to which Madam Red nearly lost her soul at the sight of the girl having her rear end on her blonde nephew's lap as he blushed when she gently kissed his neck and rubbed her hands on his cheek.
"YOU HUSSY~!" She said, pulling her away as she, Ran-Mao, and Lau continued to talk as Ciel left… while Naruto followed him before being targeted for Lau's amusement again. However the youngest brother sighed, "The rats are here." With his brother also sighing, it was so hoping to at least visit his tailor and her new assistant from a new suit.
"IT WENT THAT WAY~!" The adult voice from earlier shouted as a trio of servants chaotically chased two mice that were on the run. However, ignoring this odd event, the two saw Sebastian as he called out to them, "Masters," After gaining their attention he continued, "Today's dessert is a deep dish pie prepared with fresh apples and raisins." He turned to Naruto with a wink, "And yours will forgo raisins and have some blackberries, I know how they taste irks your palate." He assured as Naruto sighed in relief at the kindness that the butler showed to him. "They will be ready soon, would you like to eat them with your guests?"
"Bring it to my study." Ciel ordered as he looked at his older brother, "We need to speak and rather not let anyone else beside you or Charlotte hear what we say." He informed the man who seemed a bit surprised but nodded to his request.
"As they walked away they could hear his words clear as the day, "Certainly… my lords."
XXXXX
As the two enter Ciel's office, the one who owns it sighed as he and his brother were able to talk in private. "Finally, some peace and quiet." Before they could even reach the desk or talk, they felt a pair of hands covering their mouths as they soon lost consciousness… but one thing was on their mind 'the mouse has taken the bait.'
XXXXX
Many minutes went by as Charlotte and Sabastion were next to Ciel's officer door with a cart full of treats and tea for them, "Young Master? I've brought your pie and afternoon tea."The butler said as Charlotte tilted her head.
"Is something the matter?" The maid asked through the door in hopes her master would at least respond to her. They opened the door to see the room ransacked and the back glass door in the officer swung wide open that would lead to the balcony. They gasped in alarm from the sight! "This is terrible!" They said in perfect unison as they merely looked at their cart with broken hearts, "These refreshments will go to waste now…" Charlotte whimpered at the hard work she had done only to be gone.
But unknown to them their masters were captured and in the seediest part of the town nearby. In a fancy building that was odd for the rundown place that was surrounded by lots of men keeping an eye for trouble. A voice began to speak, "The policeman of England's underworld. One of the nobles who have done the royal family's dirty for generations." The voice started as he chuckled, "The queen's most favorite tool of the Aristocrats of Evil, giving him the same status as the generations of protectors of the underworld, who specialized to seek out the supernatural or unexplained."
In front of the voice was Ciel and Naruto who both were tied up with reinforced leather belts and slightly beat up from the scuff marks and bruises they had on their bodies. "The Queen's Guard Dog and the Queen's Black Grail, tasked with disposing of anyone who disagrees with her." Reaching for a cigar the voice chuckled in amusement, "god, how many nicknames do you two brats need? How many families have you two crushed, Ciel and Naruto Phantomhive?"
The two looked up in slight defiance at the man who captured them, "Seems I lost the bet to Ciel…" Naruto chuckled as they saw it was Azzurro in front of them lighting up on his cigars as he looked down at them from his gaze standing above.
"Indeed… Azzurro Vanel." Ciel finished as the man only chuckled at the kid's unique way of trying to be tough in a dire situation.
"Come now, my little Phantomhives," He condescendingly said as if he was speaking to unruly kids. "Do you know how hard it is for the Italian Mafia here? You Englishman have nothing but tea on the brain."
"He's kinda right, you know." Naruto quipped as his younger brother only glared as Azzurro only chuckled at the teen's words.
Bending his knees to meet at their eye level he continued, "You see? It's difficult to penetrate those small minds of yours. At least your brother has the balls to admit that, so we had to think outside the box to make money. So the drug trade was the only acceptable choice, I mean Lau gets to do it too? Why not let us have some healthy competition?"
Ciel merely spoke the reason why he didn't allow this to happen, "The Pharmacy Act of 1868, clearly listed opium as a restricted substance. It is the Queen's decree." He finished as Naruto nodded as well.
"Yeah, Lau might be organizing Opium Dens, but that's it he has no real knowledge or personally involved in bringing the drugs. He only offers them a place to go in secret with some girls to play and let them pamper the men." Naruto also explained as he glared at the other members of the Italian Mafia. "You guys openly sell in the streets, even extorting people so that they have no choice but to buy or you rat them out for prison time."
The two glared at the leader of this Mafia as their words were in perfect synchronization, "And we will eliminate those drugs along with the vermin who sell them." They vowed as the blonde Italian groaned at the children's narrow view of the world.
Placing a hand to his forehead he spoke in annoyance, "God! You know, this is why I hate all your Englishmen. The Queen this, the Queen that! You act like this woman is the mother you raise you!" He cupped Ciel's chin into his hand as he spoke, "You line your pockets while pretending the whole time you're better than the rest of us."
"I never really line my pockets with money, most of it goes to charities…" Naruto said offhandedly as the man lifted a finger at him.
"Not talking to you." He stared into Ciel's eyes as he continued, "But in the end we're no different from each other. Why can't we get along?" He asked, trying to appeal to their villainess side, to join him in getting some money as Azzurro will admit without them, he wouldn't have the opportunity so he will at least offer them the chance once.
Naruto chuckled, "Maybe because if we do take your deal the Queen will have our heads, then my servants will kill you before ending their lives and pretty much burn down England before doing so." He snidely said before the man had. enough and kicked Naruto so hard that he flew to the wall!
"Fucking brats, that was your only chance. After I get the key from you I'll be sure to sell you to your enemies for a nice startup to make my drug trade bigger!" The blonde traitor said as he placed a gun in front of Ciel. "My men are already prepared to kill your people, including the other Aristocrats, where's the key? You start telling me, then at least they can live for tomorrow."
However Ciel merely gave a charming boyish smile to the enemy, "Oh, I think they'll be all right, but you had better hope you lap dogs know how to fetch." He cheekily mocked before the man also kicked him to the side.
Stomping his Italian loafers to snuff his lit cigar, he grabbed a nearby phone as he shouted, "You hear that?! Time for talk is over, get to killing and find that key!" Placing the phone back on its original place he crossed his arms at the two children. "Hope you like the feeling of blood on your hands on innocent lives dying because you think you're heroes." He lashed out words of hatred at them.
Naruto only glared at the man as he saw Ciel unmoving, "You better hope that if he doesn't kill you, I don't." Naruto said as the mafia member glared at him and was going to hit him again until the phone rang again! "Finally…" He muttered, unable to deal with these damn brats any longer. "You got it?"
"No, sorry we missed!" The voice from the other side shouted as. Naruto can clearly hear a loud engine in the background.
"What do you mean, you missed?!" Azzurro shouted. "I should have never hired you scums in the first place! Just get back here!"
"Yes but… what the hell is that?!" However…the man started to chuckle, "Aww what's wrong?" He mocked their fear, "You little girls see a bear in the woods?" But that smile vanished when they heard a member screaming before a gurgling sound was made that caused him to gain some fear himself. "Hey, what is it?" He said worried about his men getting caught, "Someone find you? Talk to me…"
"OH GOD, Micheal! She ripped open his stomach like he was some fish!" The other line panted in fear, "Azzurro, please send help-! *CRASH*"
The man swallowed a mouthful of fear as he wondered what the hell happened to his men, "Zzrr…" Static was all he heard… but he turned to see Ciel chuckled at the man's dismay.
"That's too bad, she got angry… normally she would have been gentle with them." Ciel smiled with blood trailing down his lips. "But she went for blood by the sounds of it… or should I say screams?"
The man was about to hurt the child more until he heard the phone make a sound… "What in-" Azzurro gulped, while he pick up the phone to his ear he heard a male voice.
"Hello?"
That wasn't any of his men he heard before… wait that voice, he was sure he heard it somewhere. "Who's this?"
"May I speak to the Master? Pardon me but I represent the Phantomhive Estate." The voice politely revealed its origins as the man's eyes widened in shock… the butler? Wait… then who was the girl the sniper was talking- "I was hoping that you can put Naruto on the phone? She needs to hear it or she'll torture the poor man to death until she gains some assurance he is alright."
…
…
…
"Hello? Is anyone there? Oh dear… that's not good…" Sebastian muttered almost dreadfully. "My, my, my she is getting rather antsy. Please put Master Naruto on the line. Oh dear there goes another finger… was that the fifth?"
"Charlotte… you've earned your spot tonight." Naruto suddenly called out, an almost alluring tone to his voice as Azzurro swore Naruto was flirting with his maid even in this situation.
"Ah, very good Master Naruto. She will be most pleased. Charlotte will pick you and Master Ciel up momentarily."
"Much… obliged…" Ciel chuckled as the man only heard a cut off line.

In the forest Sebastian looked at a tied up man where Charlotte's perfect maid attire was sullied with blood… applying a tourniquet to the man's wrist from the fingers she severed. "Many thanks for allowing me to use your field telephone." He started before breaking the machine with his foot, "And now, there are a few things I'd like to talk to you about. Assuming that's alright." He said as the man cried tears of fear, unable to talk as he urinated himself from the sight of the woman in his gaze. Less anger but her empty eyes only made her silent fury all the more to fear.
"Oh dear, perhaps Charlotte can ask for me. She is a gentle soul, you can trust her. Then again… she isn't exactly gentle when her master is on the line… like your friend there." He said as the man… who was filet from jaw to his crotch almost like the work of a satanic cult… and it didn't help she smeared the guts of that man all over the survivor in front of her, "Unlike me… she rather die than to see him even a bit hurt…" drawing a knife in front of the man, he squeak out his words!
"W-W-Wait please! I'll tell you! We worked for Azzurro! He has a hideout in the city! I-It's at the east end!"
"Please, Mike, was the shooter I just drive and make the calls," he promised when Charlotte lifted her knife, only for her colleague to stop her.
"Come now… that knife is already tainted with foul blood. No need to do what the forest will do for you." He gently reminded her, as the woman nodded, as she and Sebastian took their car, but not before the butler made a noise… "Oh dear I apologize." The dark haired man said with eyes showing demonic cruelty at the tied up mafia member. "I called the bears so they can enjoy a small snack." He chuckled, enjoying the despair of the injured man as indeed bears started to show up. "Ta-ta!" And with that, he started the car and drove off only to hear the sounds of the men screaming from their deaths.
"Oh dear…" Charlotte whispered… as she wiped the blood from her knife onto her dress, "Dinner would be late since I didn't use that phone for calling Arc on preparing Master dishes…" Was all she was concerned as Sebastian also sighed… dinner will be late.

The mansion that held the Phantomhive brothers was surrounded by nearly quadrupled the amount of guards earlier before the phone call happen, they all stood watch as they looked around for any signs of a raven dressed Butler and sweet looking maid… only for the, to not realize behind them they were standing in plain sight.
"My, my what a splendid home!" Sebastian chuckled at the rather grandiose design of the home.
"Ey! Who are they?!" One of them shouted as they turned around with their guns pointed at them.
"We do apologize," Sebastian bowed to them. "We represent the Phantomhive household."
However Charlotte moved first throwing simple knives at the enemies heads, nearly killing most of them as the knives she threw… went through some of her targets and pierce through the idiots behind them.
She turned with a rare look of anger, "No time for dilly-dallying, Sebastian. We're already late for dinner as it is."
The man nodded using a single finger to pop a man's arm into the opposite direction of where it was supposed to bend, "Indeed, but if a Phantomhive butler cannot make conversation while protecting his Master-"
Charlotte giggled as easily snapped a man's neck as it bent to see her from behind, "Then what kind of Maid can I be?" She paraphrased his usual catchphrase as he clearly enjoyed her playful nature.
"Quite so. Now then, shall we be on our way?"
"Indeed." She said getting her knives she threw earlier. "Here, be sure to keep them this time, otherwise Naruto has to buy these in bulk."
"I most certainly will. They are in good hands. Thank you."

"Sigh… Ten minutes and it's cutting into making a delightful pot pie I know my lord would love…" Charlotte sadly wiped an invisible tear for her lack of speed.
"Oh dear, getting a bit rusty, are we?" Sebastian frowned in concern.
"…Well you could've just prevented this if you-" she stopped as they arrived at the place… she can feel them in there. Opening the door the two stood to see the man from earlier in Ciel mansion was standing there shaking in fear until he saw who was in front of him. It kinda calmed his nerves…
"Took you… long enough." Naruto chuckled as he smirked at the sight of his maid… who only gained dark looking eyes seeing her master beaten up.
"You're late…" Ciel frowned then coughed out blood.
"Oh my, they haven't been treating you well, have they Masters?" Sebastian said.
The Italian couldn't help but spoke, "You gotta be kidding, my men died from a dandy man in a suit and a pretty common lass in a literal bloody maid outfit?" He said aghast of the absurdity of the situation l
"Ooooh, you shouldn't have said that about Charlotte." Naruto winced.
"It's fine, Master… truthfully, I was more worried for you." Charlotte said, taking a step forward as she smiled. "Hoping my beloved lord wasn't too roughed up…" until her smile vanished and was replaced by a frown that sent the man chills. "But seeing how much you did…"
"Stop! You move any close bitch, and I'll shot hisnhead!" He warned stopping the girl in her tracks, "I know you two have the key…" he pointed at Sebastian, "Dandy Man you stand next to the bitch! Now!"
Charlotte stared at him, before looking at Naruto. "Master, you need only say the word."
"…No, do what he says Sebastian." Ciel said over Charlotte as the man chuckled, and the butler showed a golden key.
"Very well, here it is- *Bang! Bang*" Naruto and Ciel watched in shock as the butler and maid were shot down repeatedly before falling down…
"Well what do you know, we won!" The Italian man said as his men came from behind a painting all holding pistols so they could assassinate them in hiding.
"Sorry about that girlie and Dandy… but you really expect me to play fair against the Phantomhive brothers who are the lords in games?"
However unamused by this was none other than Ciel as he rolled his eyes, "How long are you going to play dead there Sebastian?" He said as the shooters looked afraid as they saw the man twitching erratically as he chuckled.
"Charlotte, you don't have to make them feel accomplished by letting them shoot you." Naruto said as soon the maid was slowly lifting herself off the ground also giggling madly at the order.
"Apologies, my Lord…" they said in harmony, standing up, as Azzurro looked horrified at the sight of the two gunned down servants slowly walking among the living! The butler coughed as he chuckled out while doing it.
"Guns today have been more efficient than they used to be." He said, showing his white glove stained with bullets and obviously his own blood.
While Charlotte merely stood as the men realized… she was injured unless you counted the bullet holes that her dress had. But the woman looked down to see the ammunition that hit her was nothing but little dents on the floor as if they hit titanium rather than flesh.
"You ruined my maid dress…" Charlotte pouted, she said, frowning at the fact she lost one of her personal favorites. "And it was my favorite one too…"
"W-What are you doing?! Kill them!" Azzurro ordered his men. His henchmen aimed their guns and were about to fire, but Sebastian merely threw them as if he himself had shot them, killing them instantly.
"Oh dear, what a way for someone to ruin a perfectly tailored tailcoat…" Sebastian slightly frowned.
"You could have easily avoided that, idiot." Ciel scoffed in annoyance, before looking at the maid. "You as well, you could've also killed them without getting your dress ruined if you wanted to."
"Oh Master, how unfortunate that they haven't been taking good care of you." Sebastian said, as he walked forward.
"S-Stop! I-I'll shoot him if you come any closer!" Azzurro stuttered, pointing the gun at Ciel's head. "I'm warning you! Not another step!"
Charlotte blushed cutely as she walked forward, "Ah master seeing you bound up is making me feel maternal… thinking of scooping you in my arms and whispering that you will be ok in my arms."
"Hmph," Naruto hummed at the thought, "Odd interest Charlotte." He said as the woman giggled in an angelic manner.
"She is right, you know…" The black butler chuckled as he also moved forward, "Despite their maturity, they are children when they are bound up. Though I suppose that is appropriate given the current circumstances." He chuckled, enjoying the brothers' annoyed glare at him.
"H-Hey, if you come any closer, I'll shot these kids!" The Italian mafia leader shouted.
"Seriously? We're getting tired of smelling his ashtray mouth." Naruto complained as did Ciel when the man once again. The two servants stopped when they noticed Azzurro grip on their necks tighten, Sebastian merely smiling coyishly at the 'threat' the man gave.
"But if we move any closer, he might harm you two." The butler declared as he and Charlotte tried to control their trembling lips from letting out laughter at the lie that Sebastian bluntly lied.
"So you're saying that you're breaking the contract?" Ciel glared at not what the Butler was trying to lead, but his damn usual way of reminding the blue-haired boy of their deal. He will keep his word, as long as Ciel always repeats the thing he said to Sebastian when they made that contract.
"But of course not. Nothing's changed." Sebastian bowed. "We remain your ever faithful servants."
"Indeed, my life and body is yours." Charlotte stared into her beloved master's eyes, "Unlike Sebastian… for me, if you really want me do it without hesitation…just use that…" She smiled sinisterly towards the blonde Italian who felt his life fading at the sight of her devilish smile.
"What the hell kind of nonsense you four are talking about?" He shouted losing out to his fear and losing ground to all these crazy people!
"Master," The two servants whispered as if their words were trying to seduce the two into saying what they wanted to hear. Sebastian lifted his finger next to his lips while Charlotte traced her lips slowly, "You know what you have to do/You know what you must say to me…" They spoke with different words, but wanted the same goal. The man tilted his head as Charlotte's mouth slowly said, "Now just say those words…"
Ciel looked at his servant Sebasatian as his closed right eye suddenly opened, to show it was not normal. As it was hazy purple with upside down pentagram symbols with a circle with diamond shapes around it. While his older brother Naruto left hand glowed red, as the man who held them hostage saw as they both. "This is an order/By the Order of this Command Seal! SAVE US NOW!" They shouted as Azzurro couldn't let this happen any longer!
"No! It's over!" He shouted as he pulled the trigger as a loud bang was heard resonating around the room. But he sweated bullets… how was it possible? How on god's green earth did that happen? It was like he never fired as he saw Ciel turning his head to show his blue and purple irises at him, "That's… but that's impossible."
"Looking for this perhaps?" Sebastian asked from behind, once again fueling the criminal man's fear as he looked to his left to see a white glove that held a bullet, the same calibur that was used just seconds ago. "Here then." Letting the object fall from his finger, "Let me give it back to you." He kindly offered as the bullet entered the man's breast pocket.
In that moment when he felt it indeed drop into his pocket, he felt a twinge of pain… before in a less than a second his right arm twisted around, and coiled over and over like some sick toy! He can feel the bone being forced to bend, not break, feeling it want to snap but cannot, it was constant pain that he never felt in his life!
"AAAAAAAAARGH!" Azzurro yelled in pain as his right arm was forced to let go of ciel
Charlotte bowed her head to Naruto before as she wanted to scoop the younger man into her arms, while Sebastian did the same to his charge. Ciel and the maid glared down at the man, "I must say the game wasn't as much fun this time, Sebastian." He said as the maid and butler moved their lords slightly away from the traitor.
Despite the pain, the blonde Italian crawl forward, "No, wait, come back!" He said to the servants, hoping to somehow survive this. "Work for me," He offered as he contiuned, "Be my bodyguards and I'll pay you ten times what he does- No wait! Twenty times! The guy can have all the liquor and women he wants, and the girl can be shower with all the sweets and clothing she can ask for!"
While saying this Sebastian merely ripped the leather, almost like paper while Charlotte slashed as easily with a bloody butter knife. He gasped in shock at the skill and power they had. "I'm sorry Mr. Vanel, its an attractive offer but I have no interest in such materialistic things."
"As do I, and besides in the end its not like I could use the money for myself." Charlotte said to the man while caressing her master's hair as she then went for his cheek.
"You see, I am simply one hell of a butler." Sebastian declared as his warm amber colored eyes turned a vicious vermillion ruby color with his pupil also became slited.
The man felt his last window of hope shut in front of him, barely able to speak as he saw the sudden color change in front of him. "Uh, right… o-okay." He said hoping that this was a scare tactic.
Soon shadows in the shape of feathers started to darken the room as he spoke in a dark tone. "For as long as my lord holds the contract… I am and will be his most loyal servant." As more and more darkness descends down around them all, Sebastian slowly pulls down his glove with his teeth to show the same symbol on Ciel's eye on the back of his left hand. "A wish. A sacrifice. And this, all of these things keep me bound to Lord Ciel Phantomhive."
"This game of cat and mouse has gone on long enough." Ciel said darkly, as he crossed his legs and his head resting on his fist where his arm rested on the arm rest of the couch he was sitting on as he watched Azzurro meet his demise with utter satisfaction.

"No fair… I wish I had something amazing to say when they question me and Naruto." Charlotte muttered as she and Naruto walked beside Ciel's 'servant'. "But the Queen told us to keep as little as possible…"
However the butler merely gave her a kind smile, "Then perhaps a lie would be best no?"
"B-But I don't want to lie about it…" She muttered as Naruto shook his head at the girl's predicament.
"No use crying over spilled milk as they say." He quoted the girl. "Still, you've done well for the both of us. Thank you."
The girl beamed at his words, "Thank you, and I would return the sentiment but my master has some issues on it…also that if she was here then we would have had a harder time…" She sweat dropped on the person she was referring to, knowing that all hell would break loose if she heard what happened to Naruto.
Naruto sighed, "Just be thankful she wasn't here anyways. Otherwise, the Queen will have my head for having her go on a rampage throughout London." He stopped as they reached the mansion he lived in, "You can go on, take Ciel to his home, Charlotte will take me home."
"As you wish, Master Naruto." Sebastian bowed, before he went ahead to take his charge back to the Phantomhive Mansion. As the young man sighed when he walked to the doors of his home pushing them open, as he did he saw one blonde woman standing at attention before bowing to the boy.
"Welcome home master."
She was definitely an epitome of beauty as she had long golden blonde hair flowing behind her. It was tied back in a thick braid with a large black ribbon pulled into a bow, while shorter tresses frame her face. On her face was a pair of cute rectangle shaped glasses on her face.
"I was worried when Madam Red came by and told me that you were involved with the rat problem." She said with a worried tone walking up to Naruto looking over him with a sigh. "Ahh thank the heavenly Lord, you're just fine."
"Hello, Jeanne." Naruto greeted her as the woman smiled sweetly at his words. "And not to worry, it's been taken care of."
The girl smiled gently as she backed away from him, "I am glad to hear that, Master. Now then… will you be having dinner? Or a bath? Or… perhaps…"
"Me?" Charlotte whispered to his ear as the young man finally broke a blush on his face. "Or Jeanne?"
"Ahem." Naruto coughed into his hand, "Jeanne, dinner… Charlotte, run my bath for later… and…" He turned to whisper to her ear. "Tonight, for your reward…"
Now it was the maid's turn to blush shyly at his words… "Y-Yes…" She muttered with a smile as she looked down in anticipation.

Naruto entered his room after he took a bath and Jeanne dressed him in his nightwear, he sat on his bed as he heard the door to his room open soon. "Oh you're ready?" Naruto saw Charlotte who was blushing as she walked in… loosening her dress until she was left in her nightwear.
It was definitely see-through as her nightdress was clear, the straps were spaghetti straps and there was a white frill that lined the edges and bottom of her nightdress. Her breasts were definitely curvaceous and proportionate to her frame, and she wore a white panties which did little to cover her hips. And her brassiere also barely contained her rather large breasts that seemed to look smaller when she wore her uniform.
Naruto blushed at her attire before he took a seat on his bed, "Are you… ready?" He asked as the woman nodded, taking a seat to his left side.
"With you, always…" She muttered softly before capturing his lips with hers, a small shine from their lips appeared as it coursed through her body. She broke the kiss as she smiled naughtily, "Thank you for giving me mana every time, I'm protecting you… it's worth more than drinking your blood directly."
The young man nodded, unable to trust his words, "Y-Yes…" He said before gazing at her lovely legs and unconsciously rubbed them. "Do… Do you need more?" He asked as the woman captured his chin with her hand… and captured his lips.
Yes… she was happy to receive as much before his 'wife' comes by tomorrow.
"Please… give me as much as I desire." Charlotte pleaded with want and need.
Ahh, she was summoned by one thing she wanted… a loving master. Charlotte Corday, Assassin Class enjoyed her time with her master and her two fellow servants who are supporting their master's quest for answers.
But for now…?
She wanted to enjoy this act of love and kindness from her beloved.
