Mocha: Okay I have Sebastian on a string now! What about ciel? Hmm... I have no clue! Let's see how this goes ;) Oh and by the way! Houndworth Arc! yeah baby! Pluto here I come!
Ciel: I'm starting to fear for my life
Sebastian:...
Ayase-san: Who's Pluto?
Ciel sat in his office as starting at the documents in front of him, he was wondering what his aunt said, 'Your not the only one courting for Ayase-san hand' Ciel frowned a this, "I'm not courting for his hand" but he felt a tugged in his chest for some reason.
'But who is this... suitor?' He thought as he continue to stare at the documents.
"Just staring at them won't get them done any quicker" said Ayase-san.
"I'm aware of tha- Huh!? How did you get in here! I locked the door" He felt his cheeks get hot as he stared at the gold blonde, "I have a key... I use to be a servant, remember?" smiled Ayase-san.
"Yeah, I remember" said Ciel as he fidget with his fingers, 'Why am I so nervous around this guy!' Ayase-san stared at him curiously, he reached forward and touched his hand against Ciel's pale forehead, startled by this Ciel was paralyzed.
The touched of his hand was gentle, soothing, and soft, "you don't have a fever, thank God, I was getting a little worried that you'll might have some type of fever" smiled Ayase-san, he removed his hand leaving Ciel in a light daze.
Ciel felt his chest tug again, just sitting there staring at the boy who smiled brightly and warmfully, he never care if Ciel was mean, stressed, or even angry... What he saw in him was a mystery.
'Ayase-san, what do you see in me?'
****OUTSIDE****
Walking around his garden, he began to think... but his mind kept wonder to the smiling blonde who seems to etch himself into his mind, and no matter how many barriers he placed up, the boy always melt the walls away.
"My lord what are you doing out here?" asked Sebastian as he walked up from behind.
"Sebastian... I heard that Ayase-san has a suitor, do you know about this?" asked Ciel, Sebastian gave him a smile, "I do know sir, and the suitor, well you'll be shocked who it is... even I'm shocked by it"
"who?" asked Ciel feeling anxious about this, who ever it was he wanted to make sure this person stays away from the boy.
Sebastian remained quiet for a while, but soon he smiled and said, "me"
That was a shocker for Ciel, he never expected Sebastian... a Demon to fall in love with a human, let alone a boy.
"Wha-what have you been eating?" he asked, Sebastian chuckled, "nothing young master, as I told you... it shocks me too, I never expected it to happen, but it has" Ciel felt a pit of anger by this... he didn't know why or what cause him to feel this way, he didn't like it.
"Oh dear... has my master also fallen for Ayase-san?" smirked Sebastian.
Ciel growled at him, but said nothing, he was very unsure... he wasn't sure by anything anymore, could it be that he actually...
"Mr. Sebastian, Young Master" called Finni "There's a letter from the Queen!" he hands him the letter and quickly leaves.
Ciel opens the letter and begins to read it, "Mind you breath Sebastian... Start packing we're heading to a village for a resort for travelers and the Queens also want me to do something else there too... Have the servants come along we'll need them."
"Yes, My Lord" smiled Sebastian.
"Vacation!" sing Finni as they rocked the carriage back and forth.
Ayase-san couldn't help, but to laugh "Finni, don't you'll knock us over!" cried Baldroy as he held fast to the carriage, "I like it! I use to do that when I was a kid" smiled Ayase-san as he held tightly to the book Undertaker had given him.
"What's the book for sir?" asked Mey-rin.
"It's something very important, but it's for my eyes only... sorry, But I do have other books you can read" smiled Ayase-san.
The servants cheered, "we love you books Mr. Yukiya, I do wonder where you get them" smiled Finni, "I make them... I am a writer, and to pass the time I write stories" smiled Ayase-san.
"Oh! Like Twilight?" asked Mey-rin.
Ayase-san burst into laughter, "no, that was my friends book, I have no clue why he put that there, but I do have the other three if you want them Mey-rin?" Mey-rin smiled at him, "Thank you! I do love those books."
Sebastian smiled at all this, Ayase-san was surely opening up more to the others, he never treated anyone lower than him, it's what he loved the boy for.
"My they are very excited my lord, how kind of you to bring them along" smiled Sebastian knowing that he was irritating the boy; Ciel smirked, "I only brought them along because I feared that they might destroy the Manor when we're gone."
Sebastian sighed, 'That's not his only reason'
Ayase-san looked over to the two, they were acting like Strangers to each other, 'Why are they so distance from each other? They usually are close, I wonder why they will act this way' "Look!" cried Finni, Ayase-san turned to see a woman and a baby carriage stuck out in the mud.
"Oh no! She need help" he said Picking up his skirt and dashes towards the woman. (A/N:Yes,! Since it's a Mission's he's on Girl mode! ;) )
"Madam, do you need any help?" asked Ayase-san as he takes hold of the carriage, and gently lifts it... That was the third time sebastian was impressed by the boy, He lift the carriage like it was nothing, but still was care about.
"Oh Dear! is the baby okay-" When all four of them looked all they saw was bones from a dog, each other them held tightly to each other.
"There is no baby here, this poor soul was eaten away" said the woman as she walked off, "The white dog is good, a good dog, the Black dog is bad, bad dog" Ayase-san shivered as he watch the woman leave, "This is why we're here... there's a rumor going around about a demon dog eating villagers and making them live in terror, the Queen commanded to buy this place and make it a settling for travelers."
The three stood in silence, but Ayase-san nodded with agreement.
"Let's get back into the carriage, the faster this case is solve the better" he said, all three nodded to him and quickly climbed in as Ayase-san stared off to the distance.
"My lady? Is something wrong?" asked Mey-rin.
"No it's nothing... let's go, this place is giving me the creeps" he said as he rubbed his arms a bit, the atmosphere was dangerous and gloomy, he was getting a bit scared, "maybe a song should- no this place is to scary for a good song" he said.
'maybe something soothing' He thought as he opened his mouth and sings:
Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I am nothing more then to saviour of that
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
If only night could hold you, where i can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Somehow I know that we can't wake again from this dream
It's not real, but it's ours
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn_
(A/N:I don't own the song this is Evanescence song 'before the dawn' so I give her credit)
Ciel sat Quietly as the song moved through him, Ayase-san surely knew how to sing, and always done a great job calming down the others, it seems the servants thought so too, They we're gaping at him, it made him chuckle, it was their first time hearing the boy.
"We're here" said Sebastian as he approached a gate with a sign.
The village was busy like another, dogs roam around with children and owners, Sebastian frowned "A animal that love is owner no matter who or what does to him, he allows chains on his neck and is treated with rewards and punishments."
"If you have something to say then spit it out already" said Ciel.
"It's nothing... it's just I'm more of a cat person sir, so I want to finish this quickly as possible" smiled Sebastian as he turned his way to the road and stopped at the front of a Manor.
"Welcome to the Barrymore Castle... I'm Angela Blanc the Maid here, are you Lord Phantomhive?" she asked kindly, but narrowed her eyes to Sebastian who narrowed back.
"Yes, I am... I came on the Queen's requested, may I see Lord Barrymore" said Ciel.
The Angela nodded as she begins to lead the three to the headmaster's office, once they entered they were greeted with a *WHIP*
"What is this?! I told you to bring me the Queens Guard Dog! Not this chihuahua and this little whore!" screamed a man; Sebastian frowned when he called his love a "whore", he knew for sure he wasn't a whore! Especially since he was actually a boy.
"Stop!" cried Ayase-san as he embraced the woman and pulled her away.
"Why you-"
"Lord Barrymore! I advise you not to whip my partner... Here this here is the letter from the Queen, I'm Ciel Phantomhive" said Ciel as he held up the letter with the seal on it, Barrymore calmed down, but still had a bickering look on his face as he narrowed his eyes to Ayase-san, who still had Angela in his arms.
Ayase-san gave no mind of the glares, but he helped Angela up and smile, "you okay?" Angela smiled at him, and nodded her head, before retreating the room.
Ayase stood up beside Sebastian and listen to the conversation to the two Earl's before Lord Barrymore threw the papers in front of their faces.
"No! I will not sell this land to you or to the Queen!" yelled Barrymore, Ciel gave a calm expression, "why not?"
"Because of the curse" said Barrymore, Ayase-san stiffen, 'I forgot to read the book! Damn! I forgot! I could I forget!' he didn't think reading the book will be any use to this mission, but now that the curse was mention, he has to find a place to read it somewhere.
"Curse?" went Ciel.
"Yes, A demon dog, it will attack anyone who tries to come into the town" said Barrymore, which shook before the mention of the word, Ayase-san can feel his fear, something he always felt When Kano came into the room and... *SHIVER* "Lady Jade, You alright?" whispered Sebastian.
"I'm fine" he whispered back as he held tightly to the chair.
"A demon dog... hmpf! I will stay then to see this first hand" smiled Ciel.
****Ayase-san****
*SLAM!* went the book, Ayase-san felt a bit disgusted at this, knowing these events had happen, but he was happy there was a happy ending... Not for Henry Barrymore, but for everyone else.
he stares at the clock, and smiles, "I wonder what the others are doing right now" he said smiling at himself, he begins to head down to the kitchen where Angela and the others sat.
"lady Jade, what are you doing down here?" asked Finni, sunshine and bright as himself, 'Too bad he's gonna get hurt' "I came here to see how you guys we're doing... remember I never put anyone below me" he smiled.
"That's Lady Jade for ya!" laughed Baldroy.
Ayase-san turned to Angela and smiled, "how you feeling, dear?"
"Feeling fine thank you... but you shouldn't have done that, I mean, jumping in for me, I'm just a-"
"Now hold it there! Like I said, "I never put anyone below me" after all, you a nice woman Angela, you shouldn't be treated like that at all" Angela gave him a shocked looked, but smiled, "thank you."
*RINGS* "Oh dear, master is calling, please excuse me" said Angela as she bows and leaves the room, "You three are good people, do your best to show her kindness" smiled Ayase-san.
"Yes... Ma'am!" went the servants as they smiled gleefully.
Ayase-san walked away and heads for his room, he passes Lord Barrymore's office, but doesn't stop, the sickness in his stomach was lurching and he couldn't bear the fact of the sick and twisted man touching Angela in anyway.
Reading it was enough for him, he couldn't pass it! But he knew he had to learn the rest of the events or who knows what might happen if he didn't prepare himself.
"Lady Jade?" Went Sebastian as he stood behind the poor lad, "Hai!" went Ayase-san as he turned to see the charming devilish butler smiling at him.
"I was wondering why you were standing in the middle of the hallway... is something bothering you My lady?" asked Sebastian as he pushed his strands of hair aside, "Oh! um... it's nothing, I'm fine thank you for your concerns" he said blushing lightly.
Sebastian smiled warmly at the lad, his heart fluttering like a butterfly's wing again.
'Your too beautiful my prince, too kind, and loving...' "Sebastian! Jade!" called Ciel as he signal the two to come over to his room.
The two walked over to see Ciel sitting on the chair near a drawing table.
"Sebastian, what do you think about this... "CURSE?" is it real?" asked Ciel, Sebastian smirked at him, "I can't say for sure my Lord, but it doesn't mean that it isn't real, after all Dog demons are actually-"
"Hellhounds" went Ayase-san receive stares from the two, "I read about it... Hellhounds are like messengers to anywhere in the spirit realm.. or is it hell, I can't say for sure I'm already forgetting."
"makes sense" said Ciel as he stares out to the window.
*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!* "Come in" went Ciel.
Ayase-san turned to the door and saw Angela come right in, "Lord Phantomhive... I ask you to leave the village the demon dog will come soon...*SCREAMS* THE DEMON DOG!"
All three of them turned to see the head of a dog right outside, soon they ran down the hall to the door, then outside in the dark where a trail of green glowing substance laid on the floor which lead to the village.
"Come on!" went Ayase-san as he ran towards the bickering crowd, "what's happening?" asked Baldroy holding a pillow.
"A villager has been attack by the demon dog... he usual punishes them for doing bad deeds against my master" said Angela shaking up a bit"
"he had a sixth dog!" went on villager.
"He had broken the five dog rule, and was punish for it" went another villager.
Henry reveal himself and started talking nonsense about his rules, which Ayase-san thought was all trash, but as they got a better view of the poor boy, he felt his stomach lurch once more, Angela who was beside him fainted, he caught her just in time before she could fall on the ground.
"Sebastian... Take her inside... I'll go too I can stand staying out here with these people" said Ayase-san shaking in fear, "of course" said Sebastian understanding this.
'Ayase-san heart is too sensitive for this kind of death... poor boy' went Sebastian as he carried the fainted Maid in his arms.
Ciel just turned to follow the two, "I don't think this was caused by a demon dog" said Ciel, earning stares from his two comrades "I say it caused by someone with a sense of Madness"
"Mad Hatter" whispered Ayase-san as he pictured the man with crazy eyes, with broken tea pots and the bodies of the Hare and the Dormouse covered in blood, the creepy grinning cat smiling with his eyes plucked out of his sockets, all this done by the Mad Hatter.
Ayase-san frowned, 'I do have one messed up imagination!'
****NEXT DAY****
*SIGHS* "Some vacation this is" said Mey-rin.
"I understand the problem" said Sebastian as he entered the room with swim suites, "I suggest you go get ready then... The master wishes for you to have a vacation out in the river today"
"Really!?" went the three servants.
Sebastian just continue to smile and hands them the swim suites, to be honest he and the master thought it would be a good idea if they came along with Ayase-san to forget the event that happened last night, it would make the lad feel a whole lot better than now.
"I better go see what kind go swim suite to make the lad wear" he said as he heads to the hallway.
*OUT IN THE LAKE*
"YEAH!" went Baldroy as he ran through the water, with finni running after him, but stops to make a huge leap into the air, "CANNONBALL!" *SPLASH* "Oie! Finni! don't drain the lake!" went Baldroy as he shakes the water out of his hair.
"Sorry... Lady Jade! Mey-rin are you two coming out?" asked Finni.
Mey-rin poked her head out of the pink tent, "I can't this is too embarrassing!"
"I feel the same way" said Ayase-san, as he slowly got out, both all the male servants stop to stare; Ayase-san wig was tied in a ponytail (pin to his natural hair of course) wore a single baby blue swim suite girl shorts with a skirt over the shorts, and was blushing terribly bad.
"Aw~ Lady Jade, you look pretty!" smiled Finni.
Ayase-san frowned, he turned to Mey-rin and said, "Mey-rin come on out" he took her hand gently and gave her a tight tug, soon she came out wearing the similar style only it was pink, "Wow! Mey-rin you look great" said Baldroy as he walked over to the two.
"Really?" she asked, Finni smiled, "yup! But why won't you take off your glasses?"
"WHA-" she held on to her glasses, "come on! you'll look great without them" smiled Baldroy, as he reaches over and tries to take them from her.
"No!" she said running into the water, splashing at them, Ayase-san laughed a little as he joy in the fun, wetting finni, "Water fight!" he said soon gave Finni a light tile-wave, Finni splashes back soon the two were running around the two other servants.
Ayase-san turned to the two males "are you guys coming in?" he asked.
Sebastian turned to his master and smiled, "why won't you, master?...Ah that's right, you- -"
Ciel stopped his butler in mid-sentence, "just to be able to swim in this season isn't much of selling point for a health resort" Ayase-san tilt his head to the side and walked over to the two, "you still intend of bring a resort here?" he asked, Ciel turned over to the boy, then blushed, "Hai!" he then turned back to the book he was reading.
"Oh, it seems Bocchan is picking up some Japanese words from you Ayase-san" smiled Sebastian.
"Sebastian!" blushed Ciel as he turned angrily to his butler, Ayase-san just giggled, "I think it's a good thing, where come from your suppose to learn English and other languages... so the more you learn the better you might trade with other countries"
"Really?" went Ciel.
Ayase-san smiled then gave Ciel a gentle nod; "Angela!" called Finni as he waved to the lavender maid, she waved back to him, "Angela? I didn't see you there" smiled Ayase-san, "Oh yes, I been here for a while glad to see you smiling again" she said, Ayase-san sat down next to her and smiled.
"Your okay? You did fainted after that terrible scene at the village" said Ayase-san.
Angela smiled at him sadly, "Yes, I'm fine... thank you, but you don't have to worry about me" Ayase-san gave her a gentle sigh, "You know I don't treat any one below me Angela, I can be friend with anyone, no matter where their from or who they are."
"Your so sweet Lady Jade... I wish people were like you" she said smiling at him.
"Hey! Where did Mr. Sebastian go?" asked Finni as he approached the two, "I think the master order him to do something, no sure what, but don't worry he'll come back" smiled Ayase-san.
As the other came over they soon unpack the the lunches from the picnic basket, "Have some Angela" smiled Finni.
"Are you sure it's alright for me to share?" asked Angela, Mey-rin smiled, "Of course! And Sebastian's packed lunches are delicious, yes!"
"He's been caught! The bad dog's been caught!" went a villager.
All six of the servants (Minus Ayase-san) turned to the street where the running villager carried torches and pitch forks, "It's Jame's dog! The punishment's about to begin!"
"Oh no" went Ayase-san.
Mocha: So sorry My computer was acting up and the damn charger got missing so we got a free one from the computer store and also sorry for making this a huge thing, but don't worry things will get shorter.
