The blonde continued to follow Ciel's directions, becoming more and more confused as time went on. He didn't recognise where they were going in the slightest, and they seemed to be driving in circles. Soon, the lights from the buildings around them began to fade as they drove further from the hustle and bustle of the city. They weren't even on the right street that ended up at the mansion, and the blonde was starting to get concerned. Where was the Phantomhive leading him?

His fears were realised when they stopped in front of a factory that had shut down for the night. The blonde was forced to park the car without any idea of where he was, but he did have an idea as to why he was here. The man next to him never had any intention of leading them home.

"Ciel, what are we doing here?" he asked, jumping in surprise when he heard a small click. When he turned his head, he found the barrel of a gun shoved in his face.

"Get out of the car." Ciel ordered. His tone was cold and his face matched with a hint of anger bubbling beneath the surface.

"What are yo-?!"

"Save it. Just get out of the car. I'd rather not get blood on the seats, I just had the thing repaired not too long ago." The Phantomhive stated, tilting his nose slightly in the air. "Did you really think I would knowingly invite an imposter into my home with open arms? Don't be foolish."

The blonde seated next to him stared back in shock for a few moments, unable to concoct a response. The only thing on his mind was a question. "How?" he wanted to ask. How did Ciel know he was a fake?

"How did you guess?" asked the imposter, using Alois' voice to speak.

"I didn't 'guess'. I'm a detective you know. In addition, I think I would be able to distinguish my significant other for a cheap knock-off." The Phantomhive said, the weapon in his hand never straying from the doppelganger's head.

"Jim doesn't answer to 'Alois' when I'm the one calling him. He hates it. That was the first strike against you." The watchdog continued, his gaze harsh. "In addition, when I texted his phone, you didn't answer it. He did. I even asked him to snap a photo of himself to make sure it wasn't stolen. Finally, I can sense him anywhere. I would definitely know when he was right beside me, even if my eyes were closed. You're an obvious fake. No matter what knowledge you gained from being in contact with Jim, you didn't know enough in order to know that you couldn't fool me."

The doppelganger frowned. "I see…. And I suppose you'd like for me to get out of the car so you can shoot me, huh?"

"That'd be nice, yes."

"Could you?" the imposter inquired, arching an eyebrow. He placed a hand over his chest before continuing, his eyes looking straight into the bluenette's. "Is it within your capacity? I get a basic understanding of a person's place in life when I become them, as you can see. I know things about you, too. You're not really as cold-hearted as you try to appear, are you? 'That one' doesn't believe you to, at least. He really loves you, doesn't he?"

Ciel's visible sapphire eye widened at this. His eyebrows raise as his gun lowered somewhat. He hesitated. Curses. This creature was trickier than he thought.

"'This one' doesn't think you are, either." The imposter continued. "Because I now have some of the basic talents of the other one as well, I can see what he can. Your resolve shook when I said that, didn't you? You really aren't the kind who could kill someone with the face of someone you love, are you?"

With a heavy sigh, Ciel furrowed his brow. His gun lowered, and he put the weapon back in its holster. The Phantomhive hated this. He crossed his arms and looked straight ahead.

"No." he stated. "I guess I'm not."

"Then what is it that you want to do?"

"Get out of my car." The bluenette instructed again. "I'll give you a ten-second headstart."

"You're too kind." Spoke the doppelganger, unbuckling his seatbelt and opening up the car door.

"One…" Ciel counted off as the other male left, watching him carefully as he did. "Two…"

He had to admit, for a fake, the blonde's likeness was perfect. Had he not tried felt odd when he hadn't sensed the other demon, he might not have thought to check! He was angry at this turn of events. How dare this creature wear Alois' face? How dare he try to assume the menace's place in his life? That was unforgivable. The faux-blonde menace had to go.

And yet, Ciel, himself couldn't bear pulling the trigger on that face. The doppelganger could understand what the true Macken saw in the bluenette. What a funny fellow. That said, the false blonde didn't like this turn of events either. He had to get away immediately and find another target quickly. Or maybe this form would give him a bit of a shield for the time being?

It was somewhat painful, though. As the doppelganger ran into the factory and tried to lose the bluenette, so he could officially make his escape, he found that his chest hurt somewhat. It always did when he had to leave a life in which the person had strong feelings for someone else. Memories, talents, abilities, and appearance weren't the only things necessary for a "perfect" disguise. This time it almost felt as though he had been rejected.

Suddenly, his thoughts came to a crashing halt as he saw a flash of blonde pass in front of him in another part of the factory. So that was Ciel's plan? He had contacted the blonde menace to lie in wait for him in an ambush. If that was the case, he would need a different shield.

The doppelganger's skin bubbled and glowed once more as he adopted a new shape. His heart pounded a bit as his previous self vanished and was replaced with the one he was wearing. With that, his pseudo-feelings for the Phantomhive vanished as he, himself, became the bluenette demon master. With that, he was ready for the blonde's attack. He darted out into the open, and sure enough, a bullet whizzed by his head. He looked up to see the menace standing on top of one of the many machines.

"Jesus, Ciel! Don't scare me like that!" Alois said, hopping down from his hiding place in order to walk up to the bluenette. It was at that moment that the doppelganger felt his eyebrow twitch and his face heat up a bit. He had seriously taken that form moments ago? The blonde was beautiful…

The imposter quickly shook his head, shooing away the thought. The feelings that the pair had for each other were certainly intense, as he unfortunately discovered. It was making it harder for him to get away!

"Did you see the doppelganger?" he asked the menace. "It escaped, and then took my face as well… Did we meet between our texts and now and was I acting weird?"

"No." Alois stated, shaking his head. "I haven't."

"Good." The imposter said, letting out a breath. Why was he so relieved? He wanted to get out of here! His eyes widened, however, as he heard the familiar clicking of a gun. "Jim?"

"Don't call me 'Jim'." The menace said. "Only certain people are allowed to, and you're not one of them, asshole."


A/N: Fuck.

This ain't good.

Ah... let's see... How am I gonna do this?

I mean, I totally know what I'm doing. What the fuck are you saying?

Some of you had some really interesting theories as to what's going on, and part of me wishes I did some of that instead...

Anyways, Until the next chapter, my duckies~!
