Kuro: …And as you can see, I'm back…sorry for the long wait; it seems I have taken too long to get things sorted out…anyways, after this update, there will be some new changes to the way I do things:

1) From now on, I will reply to reviewers through PM messaging (as soon as I can) but if they are Guests, then I will continue to reply to them through my A/N, but…

2) My A/N will now just be at the end of my chapters because they are usually pretty long and when I finally make an update, you would just want to get to the point (story) already instead of reading my apologies multiple times over and over again…

3) Disclaimer is the only thing that will not be at the bottom; it will be the first thing you see before you get to the actual story…if it is a new story, you will see the disclaimer and warnings for at least 2-3 times before it is gone, unless there's something new…that way, you won't have to see the same thing over and over again like with my A/N's… (And since this story isn't exactly 'new', the next update won't have any disclaimer and warnings since you would already know them.)

(Btw; update to updating info on my prof…)

And that's pretty much it…aside from Izaya being OOC in this story as alwa- oh! And all of these changes will just take place in the next update(s) so yeah…

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Kuroshitsuji OR Durarara! I ONLY OWN THIS STORY OF MINE!

Phantomhive Mansion: 3rd P.O.V

Izaya yawned as he walked besides his brother.

"Didn't get enough sleep last night?" Sebastian asked his younger brother.

"It was your fault, but oh well, I'm used to it anyways." Izaya sighed as his brother chuckled.

"So we're going to a ball held by the Trancy right?" The cat demon asked, now knowing who the Trancy were and why the Earl Phantomhive had suspicions over them.

"Yes; a costume ball to be exact."

"Heh~ Okay then. Sounds fun~"

The brothers walked out of the mansion and towards their waiting young master in the carriage.

Mey-rin's face lit up as she sat in her seat on the carriage.

'S-So they d-did…! OH MY GOSH! Ah, which reminds me, I still have Izaya-chan's switchblade… I should give it to him before he leaves.' The former-sniper thought before jumping down from her seat to give Izaya his knife.

The younger demon thanked the maid before following his brother into the carriage. Mey-rin also went back to her seat before the whole group soon let for the Trancy mansion.

Time Skip; Trancy Mansion

The carriage soon stopped and the demon brothers walked out and stood side by side, waiting for their young master to get off.

"We're going in via the back door." Bard informed as Izaya closed the carriage door.

"See you later, Bochan." Mey-rin said as she waved good-bye.

"You can look forward to seeing our costumes." Finnian said happily as Bard slapped the horse reins.

The Young Earl and his two butlers looked at the mansion in front of them before walking over. Sebastian was about to knock on the door but it opened before he did.

Another butler also clad in black greeted them.

"You must be Ciel Phantomhive. We have been awaiting you." The Trancy butler said with a bow. "I am the butler of this house. My name is Claude Faustus."

The demon brothers and their young master stared at the butler. Soon, Claude opened the door wider and invited them in; Ciel going first and his butlers after him.

"Hm?" Sebastian stopped walking and looked up.

"What's wrong nii-sama?" Izaya asked before looking up at what his brother was looking at. "Ah…"

Ciel also stopped and turn his head to look at his butlers, "What is it?"

Claude stood up straight and also looked at what the Phantomhive butlers were looking at.

"Ah; spiders form part of the Trancy family crest, so it is our custom not to kill them." The Trancy butler answered the unasked question.

"Really…" Izaya trailed off and stared at the spider.

He never really liked spiders in the first place but it's best for him not to show his displeasure towards it here…

"Indeed, if you try to brush them off, they will just cling to you and never let go." Sebastian added before taking his gaze off the spider, his younger brother doing the same soon after.

Claude stared at him for a bit before bowing and gesturing for the guest(s) to enter the mansion once more.

After finally entering the mansion, Ciel stopped walking again and suddenly fell backwards. Izaya –who was closest to him- caught him, and nearly showed his panicked state if it weren't for his pride. The young master clung onto his youngest butler with ragged breath.

"Are you alright/Is something the matter, Bocchan?" The demon brothers asked in unison.

"Nothing at all." Ciel replied as he released his grip on Izaya clothes, gaining his composure back.

"Can my butlers come with me?" The Earl asked Claude without looking at the said butler.

"That's fine." Came the Trancy butler's reply.

"Let's go." Ciel said as he began walking forward again.

"Very well/Yes." The Earl's butlers said before following him.

The trio had to stop walking, again, but this time, because of Claude.

'Are we ever going to get anywhere?' Izaya mentally asked to particularly no one.

"I am sorry. Unfortunately, my master is away on business. He will be back for the costume ball." Claude informed as he closed the door behind them.

"I see." The Earl said as the Trancy butler faced him.

"I have prepared tea for you in the drawing room." Claude slightly bowed before continuing. "Everyone else is already there."

"Everyone?" Ciel asked.

Drawing Room

"Ciel!" A feminine voice called out as the mentioned Earl walking into the room, Izaya right after him.

Ciel gasped as he was suddenly hugged by none other than Lizzie.

"Elizabeth!"

"Nii-sama; who's that?" Izaya whispered to his elder brother from behind him.

"She is Bochan's fiancé and cousin, Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford. (1)" Sebastian whispered back.

"I see…" The younger demon butler said while nodding his head.

"Mou~ Call me Lizzie!" The blonde haired girl scolded as she released the young earl from her hug, though her hand was still on him…

"Aren't you late, Earl?" A voice said as Ciel looked at the main source of the voice.

"Lau?"

"Ne, who's that now Nii-sama?" Izaya whispered to his brother once more.

"That man is Lau; a Chinese nobleman who is the head of the British branch of the Shanghai company (1) . The girl with him is his (self-proclaimed) sister (and a assassin),Ran-mao. (1)" Sebastian answered as his brother did the same gesture as earlier; nodding in response.

"What's wrong?" Lizzie asked as Ciel surveyed the room, seeming to be looking for someone.

"Nothing; I thought Madam Red would be here too." Ciel replied as the room grew silent and gloomy, with its occupants' changing expressions. "She's the kind of person who'd do anything to participate in such an event."

Even though he was curious of who Madam Red was, Izaya kept silent, reading the mood perfectly.

"Ah, well-" Lau started before getting cut off by a flailing Elizabeth.

"Please calm down, Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian said as the said Duchess's maid went to her side to try and stop her from flailing.

"Ciel!" A voice called out from a newcomer to the room.

The newcomer, while crying, ran over to the young Earl of the Phantomhives before hugging him.

"Oh?" Izaya and Lau said at the same time as everyone's attention turned towards the still crying foreigner as he continuously called out to the Earl.

"Who are you? Let go of me!" Ciel said as the crying foreigner finally released him (a bit) in order to look at the Earl.

"Who am I? So you…don't…" The newcomer trailed off as he continued to cry waterfalls, before hugging the Earl tighter than before.

And Ciel… "I told you to let go!"

"Is he by chance…" Lizzie trailed off as Sebastian lean to her side to whisper to her.

"Yes, Prince Soma."

"But this way, Ciel will figure everything out!" Lizzie whispered to the butler again.

"Do not worry. That man is always with the prince, and he will not allow things to get out of hand." Sebastian replied once more in a whisper, referring to Agni as the said man walked over to the (still) crying prince to pry him off the poor Earl of the Phantomhives, who in turn, began crying even more and flailing for the earl.

While as for Izaya…he was now utterly confused; not knowing where (or when) he should start asking for some insight on things, for he wasn't actually there when everything was happening. At least give him some info so that he wouldn't have to go all the way to find some secondary sources for answers when there are primary sources right there in front of him…

"What's with him?" Ciel said out loud as Izaya thought the same thing.

Agni and Sebastian seem to exchange some sort of secret message before the white-haired man began to introduce his prince to the Earl.

"I am sorry." Agni began with a bow, before straightening up again and continuing "He is the 26th son of the King of the Princely State of Bengal, Prince Soma Asman Kadar."

'Well that takes care of one person…but what about Madam Red…and what are their relations to the Earl? And who's the white-haired guy…? Maybe I could…' Izaya thought to himself as he began to grow very frustrated, especially when his informant side heightened his curiosity and wants him to get as much information as possible. All while this was going through his head, everyone seemed to have finished conversing with each other and finally, noticed his presence.

'Eh? Why did it get so quiet all of a su-' Izaya thoughts were cut off when he looked up and noticed that everyone else noticed his presence.

"…" The cat demon kept silent as people continued to stare at him with curiosity, Prince Soma and Agni were no longer crying and doing the same.

"…Excuse me bu-"

"Mini…Sebastian?" Prince Soma asked as Izaya looked at him strangely.

"What? No. My name is Izaya; a new butler to Earl Phantomhive, 'an informant on hiatus', and, Sebastian's younger brother. By the way, if you meant 'Mini-Sebastian' as Nii-sama's son, that would kind of be impossible since I'm already this big and Nii-sama and I are nearly the same age." Izaya explained as others began to gape.

"…EH?! Sebastian has a brother?" Nearly everyone yelled in surprise before turning their attention to Sebastian.

"What?"

"You have a brother?!" Prince Soma yelled.

"Can I not have a brother?"

"Well yea- I mean no! Well I mean…" The prince trailed off not knowing what to say.

"…One wouldn't expect you to have any family...no offense." Agni cut in before Elizabeth began talking as well.

"Why didn't you tell anyone about you having a brother? And a brother who would look amazing in one of my dr-"

"No one asked me about my family so I found no reason in me saying anything. And when since has any noble cared about a servant's family?" Sebastian asked, cutting Lizzie off.

'We're interested because you are so mysterious that it's frustrating/infuriating/ and barely know a thing about you!' nearly everyone thought angrily at the same time.

"Well then, let us retire to your room, Bocchan. You have to get ready for the ball. Come." Sebastian said as he began to lead the young Earl out of the room, before motioning for his brother to come. "Izaya, let's go."

"Hai, Nii-sama." Izaya said before rushing to his brother's and his young master's side, as everyone eyes trailed behind the trio before they left from their sight.

In the Halls with Ciel and his Butlers

"What strange men." Ciel commented as he and his butlers followed the triplet butlers of the Trancy's to hid room.

"Foreigner are hard to fathom." Sebastian agreed as his younger brother nodded in agreement as well, thinking back to all the foreigner he came across as an informant.

Ciel closed his eyes and sighed for a bit before opening his eyes and surveying his surroundings. Suddenly, he began to feel nausea again, just like when he had first entered the mansion earlier in the day.

While Izaya had looked at his young master worriedly, his brother however, just stared at the young master impassively as the group continued to walk on. Ciel looked at the triplets in front of him before sighing again. The boy then turned to face his eldest butler.

"Sebastian, investigate this mansion thoroughly. Understood?" Ciel whispered before the said butler whispered back a 'Yes'.

'And what should I do Young Master?' Izaya asked the boy telepathically.

'You can use the telepathy as well? And… there's nothing at the moment for what you should do…Accompany me for a while and help me choose my costume for the ball.' Ciel answered back through his thoughts.

'Yes, yes I can. And understood, young master.'

Later on…

While Sebastian was off to do his job, Izaya was looking through the pile of possible costume, throwing the ones he didn't like behind him and creating another pile of costume.

"Hm…nope…too weird…too eccentric…this one hinders movement…this one won't match…and this one…what the hell?" Izaya mumbled to himself as he came across a pink dress.

Ciel cringed, remembering a certain time when he was forced to wear a dress.

"Izaya…" Ciel called out before nearly jumping in surprise when the said man suddenly looked at his direction while throwing the dress into the pile of 'NO's' behind him.

The cat demon surveyed his young master for a bit before an idea came to him. He quickly took pieces of other costume apart and sewed the parts all too make…

…A Pirate costume!"

"…" Ciel stared at it.

"A pirate costume would be perfect! And it would definitely suit Bocchan at the moment…and no one would be suspicious of why you are wearing an eye-patch as well!" Izaya said in triumph as Ciel nodded in agreement.

"I see…if I had worn any other costume, it would've been strange to other guests that I'm wearing an eye-patch…pretty smart, Izaya."

"Thank you for your compliment, Bocchan. Now let's get you ready…"

"Hn."

Time Skip…The Ball

"Ciel~ Wear this!" Elizabeth popped up in front of Ciel and said cheerily, holding a white feather with a brown tip in her hand.

"Fine." Ciel muttered in defeat as his fiancée placed the feather on top of his pirate hat.

"Our feathers match~!" Lizzie happily said as Ciel took his drink away from his face.

While Elizabeth was dressed as a Native American Indian, her fiancé was dressed as a pirate. Her maid was dressed as an Egyptian lady…holding on to two bells…?

"Aren't you wearing a costume, Prince?" Elizabeth asked as she turned her attention to the said prince as he smiled.

"I'm dressed as Sherlock Holmes" Prince Sohma replied to the blond, holding onto an olden pipe.

"Bocchan!" Mey-rin, Finnian, and Bard called out to their young master at the same time.

"We are the three Chinese monster musketeers." Bard explained, dressed as the kappa (2).

Mey-rin was dressed as the pig while Finnian was dressed as the monkey king (2).

"I'm Magic Monkey!" Finnian cheerily said.

"And I'm let's go to Gandhara!" Mey-rin, also cheerily said.

"We have a costume or you, too, Bocchan." Bard said before he, Mey-rin, and Finnian took out a grand monk costume, a bald cap, and a crown-like hat.

"Rejected." Ciel simply said as his the trio in front of him became disheartened.

"Eh~?" The three cried in disappointment.

Meanwhile…With Sebastian

As his master had ordered, the butler clad in black searched the house thoroughly. He was currently searching the room he was in until another certain black butler came into the room. Sebastian paused before turning around to face the other butler with a smile.

"What a splendid room." He started "The bed making, the way it is cleaned, even the table's interior: all perfect."

"I can feel your profound consideration for the person who will use this room." Sebastian continued "I have learned so much."

"Do not bother." Claude finally spoke since the time he entered the room "You are so devoted to your duty, you went as far as imitating a sneaky thief. I am the one impressed."

"Thank you kindly." Sebastian said in response, before his smile dropped.

He walked over to his fellow butler and said to him, "I will not hand the young master over to you."

"I will obey my master's orders unconditionally." Claude immediately said in response as Sebastian looked at him with narrowed eyes "I am also one hell of a butler."

"And in other words, you are also a demon." Izaya commented with a smirk as he entered the room, eyes now on him.

"Izaya?" Sebastian asked as Izaya did a complete 360 with his personality.

"Nii-sama; we mustn't keep the young master waiting! And do you think we should get into costumes in order to fit in…? Then again…" The younger demon muttered the rest to himself.

"Hai, hai~" Sebastian replied with a smile as his brother walked out of the room.

"Excuse me." Sebastian said, expression back to normal for a bit, before walking pass Claude and following his brother out of the room.

"…" Claude soon walked out of the room as well to look at the youngest butler of the Phantomhives disappearing frame.

"I…zaya…" The butler whispered as he stared at the said male longingly.

With Ciel

The Earl watched the fiasco in front of him, nearly wanting to face palm at his servants. They had all caused a ruckus (and a mess) within the party, wanting to help instead but ended up failing…

Luckily, the three triplet butlers of the Trancy quickly fixed every mess, with profession. Wondering if Mey-rin was okay, Lizzie and Prince Sohma rushed to the maids' side, leaving Ciel behind. The Earl sighed and closed his eyes as he walked, accidently crashing into a maid he had never seen in the house before.

"I-I'm sorry." The blonde maid apologized after accidently spilling the drink she was holding onto the Earl.

"It's nothing. Don't worry." Ciel replied as the maid lean closer to him, looking at his stain worriedly.

"But if we don't clean it off, it could stain…" The maid said before looking up at Ciel (and causing him to blush).

"Come with me." The maid said before leading Ciel out of the ballroom.

And just when Izaya entered the room…

"…Eh? Where's the young master?" Izaya said before looking behind him.

"…And when did I lose Nii-sama?"

In a Room

"Finished." The maid said after completely cleaning off the stain on Ciel's pirate coat.

Ciel got up and looked at his coat, which didn't seem to get any better.

"Oi!" Ciel called out with an angered expression before it became an expression of surprise and confusion when the 'girl' in front of him held his hand to her face.

"What a beautiful blue. Will my soul become the same color when I die?" The 'girl' asked as she looked at the Phantomhive ring.

"What?" Ciel asked in response to what 'she' said.

"The same colour…" The 'girl' started as she stared into the Earl eyes before cupping his face with both of her hands "The same colour as your ring."

"What are you saying?" Ciel asked the smiling maid in front of him in confusion.

"If I become one with you, will I be able to become the same blue as you?" the maid asked in response before…(3)

Back in the Ballroom

"…All of that happened while Nii-sama and I were gone?" Izaya asked after Elizabeth explained to him what his three fellow servants did.

"I am sorry…" The three then apologized to everyone in unison with a depressed expression.

"Ah, by the way, has anyone seen the you-"

"Prince." Agni called out, unintentionally cutting Izaya off.

The cat demon's nose twitched.

"Is it ready, Watson?" Prince Sohma asked his companion.

"Yes." The white-haired man replied

"…What's in there…? It smells nice…curry?" Izaya asked Agni with child-like curiosity as the said man smiled in response.

"I see that you have a good sense of smell, though it's not exactly curry but rather…" He opened the platter in his hand "…Curry Bun! An invention created by your elder brother by the way."

"Really?" Izaya asked, face close to the white-haired man, with sparkly eyes.

"…Yes." Agni replied after pausing for a bit "Would you like to have some? Everyone else as well."

"Gladly!" Nearly everyone said before they all grabbed a bun.

"By the way, how did you make these?" Paula asked, directing her question to Agni.

"I borrowed the mansion's kitchen." The white-haired man replied as Izaya wondered how he even got access to the kitchen but…it wasn't really important so he left that thought in the 'unnecessary' information part of his brain.

"Maybe Ciel will recover his memories if he eats this. That's what I'm thinking." Prince Sohma explained as everyone expression became surprise…though for Izaya, it was more of confusion.

"Ano…Pardon my rudeness but…did something happen to Bocchan?" The butler asked as everyone expressions became solemn.

'Speaking of Bocchan…I think I'm forgetting something…' Izaya thought to himself as Finnian began answering his question.

"You see…although you weren't actually with us when it all happened…" Finnian started.

"Bocchan has lost his memories…" Bard finished.

"And many cherishing and important memories on certain events too…" Mey-rin added.

'So that's why…' "…Well then, although I may have been there with everyone and experience the true pain of this, if you are willing to let me, I want to be able to help everyone help the young master regain his memories." Izaya said as his companions smiled at his response.

"I see that everyone feels the same." Agni commented as Lau smiled…before having a look of confusion.

"Wait. Does the Earl have amnesia? Really? Since when?" The Chinese aristocrat said as everyone stared at him dead-panned.

'Seriously?!' Everyone mentally yelled at the oblivious man.

I mean, they even mentioned that the Earl had lost his memories too…

"And that ruined the touching moment too…" Izaya muttered to himself as Lizzie looked around her with a worried expression.

"Ciel…Where did he go?" Lizzie asked as Izaya panicked internally.

'How careless of me! That's what I have forgotten! Hm…' Izaya thought to himself as his nose twitched. 'Bocchan's scent! Though it seems to be very faint…I think it would be better for me to find Bocchan's exact location as a cat…but…' Izaya looked at everyone, who were deep in thought, wondering where their friend could be.

'This is my chance!' The cat demon thought to himself as he sneaked away from the group.

When the male was far enough, he sprinted the rest of his way to the door and changed into a cat the minute he was out of view…or what he thought was out of view of anyone.

"…Was that Izaya? Smells like him…or not…? And did he just change into a cat?…I must be going crazy…" A certain fake-blond said to himself as he scratched his head "…Well I'm done smoking so I gotta get back to Tom and his client…ah…I'm probably not getting enough sleep? Maybe that's why I'm seeing things…"

The blond then went into the ballroom, still thinking that he was going crazy.

With Izaya

Izaya ran around the empty halls of the mansion, desperate to find his young master, thinking something might have happened to him.

'Just where could h- ah! I found his scent!' Izaya mentally cheered.

The cat was just about to change course and sprint to where he knew his master was…until he was picked up by one of the triplets, who then all began conversing each other in nearly inaudible whispers. But, with his heightened hearing…

"Brother, can we keep him?" said triplet #1.

"We mustn't, the young master would get mad." said triplet #2.

"Can't we keep it to make the master mad?" said triplet #1 again.

"…As tempting as it is, we can't." replied triplet #2.

"Can't we just hide the cat in our room." Triplet #3 asked.

"Unfortunately, no. Claude-di-bastard would find it in no time…' triplet #2 said as the brothers quickly put a hand over their mouths to help contain their laughter.

Izaya was tempted to laugh with them as the triplets continued talking, now back to their impassive state.

"Aw dang it…" triplet #3 said.

"So…what do we do?" triplet #1 asked.

"…We have to let it out." Triplet #2 responded.

"Aw…" Triplet #1 and 3 said in unison.

"But not without making sure that the Trancy kid won't find it running around, else the cat would be in trouble…" Triplet #2 added.

"Right." Triplet # 1 and 3 said in unison once again.

"Oh! I thought of something…By the time we encounter the cat again, we'll have a cover for it too~"

"Right!" triplet # 1 and 3 said in unison yet again.

"Now…time to say goodbye…" triplet #2 said, with a small hint of sadness.

"…"

And so, after having to decide for a long time, the triplets opened the nearest window (after checking their surroundings thoroughly) and gently released the cat into the forest that surrounded the mansion.

"Hey brother." One of the triplets began. (#1)

"Yeah?" Another one of the triplet replied, knowing who his younger brother was referring to. (#2)

"It wouldn't know about the tracker we put on it or take it off would it?" (#1)

"…That would be impossible, since the tracker can only be taken off by us." (#3)

"…Now…to think of a cover for when we retrieve it…" the triplets said in unison before continuing to broom the hall.

Outside the Mansion

'Well…the quiet triplets didn't seem too bad. I guess they were nice as well…? Oh well, thanks to them, I somehow got closer to Bocchan's location…' Izaya thought to himself as he continued to run through the forest.

Soon, the figure of the Earl the cat demon was looking for came into his view.

'Bocchan!' Izaya called out telepathically.

'Eh? Izaya, where…' Ciel thought back in reply as he tried to catch his breath from all the running he had done earlier.

'Wait; I'm almost there!' Izaya said before turning back into his human form and running the rest of the way towards his master.

"Bocchan; are you a-"

"What's wrong?" A voice cut him off.

Ciel and Izaya looked ahead of them, waiting, as the maid that the Earl had met earlier in the night came into view.

"Are you in pain? Does it hurt?" the maid asked, directing her questions towards the Earl as Izaya walked in front of him protectively.

"I can lick your wounds and make the pain go away." The maid continued on as Izaya reached into his jacket for a switch-blade.

"Hm? Who's this?" the maid asked as she stopped about a meter from the two in front of her "And just when I thought I had separated you successfully from the other…"

"Stop this farce." Ciel began as his youngest butler got ready in case something would happen "Stop this farce. Alois Trancy!"

At this, the maid, or should I say boy, smirked as he began to take of his wig.

"So, you realized. How boring."

Ciel glared at the boy in front of him in response, "I figured you would come look for me sooner or later."

"So, you followed me on purpose? But…" The Trancy Earl trailed off as his black butler walked out from behind a tree.

Claude seem to have widened his eyes a bit at Izaya before reverting back to his usual calm demeanor before anyone could notice.

Soon after, the blonde's triplet butlers also appeared, seemingly from above (the trees).

'Nii-sama isn't here…so I must protect Bocchan with all I got!' Izaya thought to himself as his switched blade multiplied into five in his hand.

Ciel smirked, "You shouldn't underestimate me."

"It is as the young master said." A certain butler said before walking out of a tree and making his appearance as well.

"Nii-sama…!" Izaya said in surprise as his brother smiled at him before reverting back to normal.

"I think I warned you, Mr. Claude." Sebastian said as he and his brother stood on each side of their young master.

Alois looked at his mentioned butler, "Well, I just wanted to talk in a quiet place."

"You threw a costume ball and went as far as dressing like that. What in the world do you want with me?" Earl Phantomhive asked his fellow Earl.

"I want you." Earl Trancy bluntly answered.

"What do you mean?" Ciel asked for clarification.

"I want you." Alois bluntly answered again before continuing on "Just that, Ciel Phantomhive. If you refuse…" Alois pointed at his mansion "I'll kill everyone in that house."

"…" It grew silent on the Phantomhive's side as Alois continued on.

"I've prepared some entertainment." The blond smirked "When it begins, they will all die. Your precious friends, too."

"…"

"What will you do?" Alois asked as he continued to smirk.

"…Do as you wish." Ciel answered with finalization, making Alois drop his smirk.

"…" Izaya trusted Ciel's judgment so he didn't say anything…only tighten his grip on his switchblades a bit.

"Are you sure?" The blond Earl asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Ciel smirked "If you can, that is." Ciel finished as his butlers smirked along with him.

"I also have something to ask you." The young earl of the Phantomhives soon added in.

"What? I can't tell you anything." Alois responded before turning around a bit and pointed his bottom at them in mockery "If you prostrate yourself before me and wag your tail."

"I wonder who will be wagging their tail in the end." Ciel retorted.

"I like your boldness," Alois said before standing straight up again and walked over to his butler "but you shouldn't act so cocky just because your butlers are somewhat skillful. My Claude is more skillful!"

The Trancy Earl then stook out his tongue at them, revealing the seal of his demon contract as it began to glow.

"So, you have one, too." Commented Ciel as his own seal glow "You know what to do, Sebastian, Izaya."

"And Sebastian, as per our contract, you will work for me. You will not kill me, and you will protect me until I have accomplished my goal."

"Certainly. Ever since that day, I have been your loyal slave." The said butler replied. "If you command it, I will grant all of your wishes, until the day our contract ends, and I claim your soul."

"Good answer." Ciel responded as Alois began chanting in a strange language.

"Claude; catch Ciel." The Earl of the Trancy commanded his butler as Ciel did the same with his own butlers.

"This is an order, Sebastian, and Izaya: whatever happens, protect me at all cost!"

"Yes, your highness/Yes, my lord/Yes, young master." The three demon butlers answered their masters at the same time.

'Hm…maybe like Nii-sama… with the young master…a contract…? Hehe~'

Kuro: So how's the chapter or story so far? I kinda feel like it's getting too bland…*sigh* it's so hard to sneak in jokes into the storyline though Izaya with this story like I would usually though…hopefully, I haven't bore anyone out yet and hopefully, I will do better in the next chapter…Anyways, please review and tell me what you think ^.^

(1) I thought I should note it; I my information from Kuroshitsuji Wiki, and put them into my own words, or in this case, Sebastian's

(2) I just wanted to point this out (though some of you might already know) the costume refers to the three students of the monk who journeyed to the west/sutra to all become gods, a Chinese folktale that I must add, is one of my favorites since young.

Bard is dressed as the weapon god who was sent down to earth by the King of the heavens because the weapon house he was supposed to guard was burned down by Sun Wukong/Son Goku/the monkey king (who Finnian is dressed as) during the said monkey king's rampage at the other gods. He dons a staff with a crescent-shaped blade as a weapon. He is also the 3rd student to the monk (whose name I don't know how to translate into English).

The 2nd student, who Mey-rin is dressed as and I do not know how to translate his name to English, was also a god but was sent to earth for failing as a god by flirting with too much goddesses to the point that he was stripped from his status. Because of a mistake in the book of something (I don't know how to translate) he was accidently sent to earth as a new born pig. Thanks to a goddess that hated him but felt guilty because she accidently re-wrote his life to become pig, he was able to gain a human-like form again…but still have pig features unfortunately. He dons a giant rake as a weapon.

And last but not least, the monkey king, the 1st student of the monk, who Finnian is dressed as. So…for an explanation of this guy…Ah! The monkey king is said to be born from the earth and sky; he came out of a rock (I'm being serious). He was then adopted by the current king and queen of a family of monkeys and after they died from a tragedy, he was left on his own…with the other monkeys…and one day when the family was in danger, he expressed his courage and found a new home for his family inside a hidden cave behind a waterfall he jumped through. Now appointed the monkey king and worshipped by the other monkey…he realized that no living being lives on forever. So with the help of his underlings, he sets out on a journey alone to find a teacher who would teach him the power of immortality (I tried to translate this time and…this came out…) And then time skip, time skip…after a disagreement with the gods, he went on a rampage and burned everything even the weapon house, and caused a ruckus in the heavens, and continued to do so until he was outsmarted by Buddha and implanted inside a mountain by him…being told that the only way for him to get out is when a certain monk has traveled by…

So in summary…the monk gathers his destined students who he would lead into the right path and go on a journey with them to become gods…oh I love this tale so much~ by the way, there are many versions to this story and there are movies too~ Some are really good~ And I think the concept of Goku from Dragon Ball was inspired from this story… Sorry if my explanation is very confusing…I don't know really know how to explain it very well and there were a bunch of things I don't know how know translate into English so it could be understandable…but in the end, my attempt on some of the translations were making things even more confusing huh…sorry for taking away your time to explain something that you might not even be interested in…

(3) Sorry, I just… can't continue writing that scene…if you want to know what happened, watch episode 5 of the second season of Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler…sorry...but in summary of what happen, the maid *cough*Alois*cough* did something to avert Ciel's attention before taking his eye-patch, and then making the Earl chase 'her' for his eye-patch.
