Hello again! I am back with more of Caught in the Middle! I am so happy because today at school, we are going to a pep rally so I don't have Health today! FREE POCKY FOR EVERYBODY! I read over the last chapter and I still don't like it…Maybe this one will be better because I now know what I need to do in order for me to have a successful chapter. Yes, I am just blabbing and won't shut up but I need to look like I typed something before I go to lunch…
Ciel: Will I actually have some lines in this chapter?
Me: No dip Sherlock.
ONWARD TO THE ADVENTURE!
Oh…never mind…Some butt-face pulled the fire alarm so pep rally got cancelled. PLUS last second the principal said Sophomores and Freshman were not allowed to go. I hate my school…
Never mind again because the school MIGHT reschedule it! YAY!
I was having a really nice dream. It was around Christmas time and my mother and father were wearing matching sweaters with Rudolph and they were putting up the tree. Felix and I strung popcorn together and wrapped it around the tree. It was a comforting dream. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I wish I actually knew what my mother looked like. In the dream, her face was just a blank slate, no emotion or features that my father fell madly in love with. My dad always told me that I looked like her in every single way. The only thing that distinguished us was our eyes. The blank slate that was about to uncover my mother's face was blinded by a bright light. I groaned in my sleep and rolled away from it.
"Do get up, Miss Louis."
I groaned and snuggled against my pillow.
"Ugh…Five more minutes…"
Sebastian strolled over to my side and shook my shoulder. "Get up…" He noticed the tears on my face and his face became sympathetic. "Do you wish to talk about it, Miss Louis?"
I smacked his hand away and pouted in my sleep. "No…"
Sebastian rolled his eyes. He leaned close to my ear and whispered in my ear. Actually he more blew air in then whispered.
"Get up…My dear…"
I jumped up from my sleep, blushing more than a lobster. I clutched my ear and looked him up and down. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. Sebastian smiled sweetly as he tied back the curtains. His hands moved so fluidly when he did chores. I wonder if his hands moved like that when he- - Okay, brain. We are NOT going there. Remember the pact…
I crossed my arms and looked at him from the corner of my eyes. Sebastian looked up at the morning sun and smiled. He turned to me and raised his brow. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked. That made me raise my eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Sebastian sighed and rolled his amber eyes. Even though I knew he was a psychotic demon, he was attractive and his eyes were really pretty…He patted me on the head and walked out the room. "I am sure you can figure it out, Miss Louis. Also…" He turned to me and smiled a 'Ha-ha bitch, I am superior and greater than thou' smile. "My young master wishes to speak with you."
A large spit ball lodged itself in my throat. I don't know why I am so nervous. It's just Ciel. The Ciel that I use to rape and poke fun at all the time. He was easy going most of the time after all. But this Ciel is rich and well known and probably takes things seriously.
Wow, this is like job interviewing all over again.
Then again, he is still a child. How bad can it be?
Sebastian's grin grew as he noticed my nervous appearance. "He wishes to see you in his office before he departs this morning." He smiled one last time before leaving. I looked down at my body and noticed that I wasn't in just my underwear and shirt, but a flowing white nightgown.
Why is everyone in this era changing my clothes without my permission!
I crawled out of bed and grabbed my clothes, but quickly put them down. This wasn't my house where the bathroom was a foot away. God knows where the bathroom is in this house! Maybe I should search for the bathroom first. I slipped back on my maid's outfit and walked out the room. I looked both ways to make sure no one was there. I began to venture around the house. To keep myself from forgetting what I was doing or giving up, I started humming the Mission Impossible theme. I got into a badass mode and started sleuthing around. I tumbled past a hallway, smirking to myself. I AM A BEAST!
I laid flat against the wall and tiptoed past rooms, crossing my legs over each other. As long as I didn't have to catch sweat, I was good. I flattened my body more against the wall and looked down a hallway. Sebastian was pushing a cart down it towards me. I narrowed my eyes at him. I tumbled to the next hallway. I listened in on one of the doors before opening it. I opened it and peered inside. Just a bedroom. I curse under my breath. I hear Sebastian's footsteps and hid in another room. Sebastian looks down the hall, his eyebrow raised. He shakes his head and sighs. He walks away. I peek out the room and continue my mission.
I cartwheel down a hallway and bump into a table. The vase begins to shake and slowly tips over. I dive under the table, roll, and catch it in my hands. I sigh in relief. I stand up and set it back on the table.
Need to be more careful, Agent X06B27.
I peered into a couple more rooms before I heard footsteps again. I froze against the wall and waited. The footsteps soon passed before I opened another door.
I clicked on my imaginary headset.
"Mission Accomplished, Jim. I have successfully found the bathroom."
Now finding my room is gonna be a challenge.
"Uh…Miss Louis?" Sebastian called. I jumped and fell on my ass, rubbing my back in agony. "Don't…you…ever…do…that…again…" I threatened. Sebastian raised his eyebrow. "May I ask who Jim is? And what you are doing?" I stood up and dusted off my dress. "Who Jim is is none of your concern. And I was looking for the bathroom. Now that I've found it, I'm going to get clean." I walked back to my room. Sebastian smirked. "Strange…"
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
I rubbed a towel against my hair since there was no such thing as a blow-dryer. Sure, people curse the invention of technology and the advances in it because it has made people lazy, but trying living in a time (until you have completed whatever it is you need to because your idiotic adopted brother forgot to tell you) where there is no curling irons, straighteners, or coffee makers. It's Hell, I tell you! HELL! But then again, there is a creature FROM Hell here so…Never mind.
I threw the towel on the chair and slipped on my black and white Converses. I was not in the mood to wear high heels. Walking over to the mirror, I checked myself out in it. Surprisingly, the wet hair look looked sexy on me. My hair was now a dark red, close to a blood red actually. I could actually see the black streaks I put in my hair last month. I reached into my bag and pulled out my make-up bag. I instantly got depressed when I saw my blow-dryer and curling iron. Crying on the inside, I put on black mascara and black eyeliner to bring out my eyes. I put lip gloss, not lipstick, on before walking out the room.
Wait a minute…Where in the hell is Ciel's office? A smirk crept to my face.
Dun-Dun-Dundun-Dun-Dun-Dundun-Dun-Dun-Dundun-Dun-Dun-Dununu!
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Sebastian handed Ciel his mail before making his young master tea. Today's tea would be Ceylon tea since it is best used fresh. He poured the tea into blue Coral cups along with scones, placing them before Ciel. Ciel looked through his mail, tossing away invitations to parties. Ciel was a complete wallflower when it came to parties. The door suddenly busted open.
"?"
I panted as my hands rested on my knees. Damn, this house was BIG! I got lost again!
"I finally…found this…damn office…" I dropped to my knees, resting my palms on the floor. Having a house this big for 6 people and a few horses (Yeah I ended up at the stables somehow) should be illegal.
"Who are you?" Ciel asked, reading a water bill.
I stood up and smoothed out my skirt, not hearing him. "Dammit, Sebastian! You couldn't have told me where the office was?" Sebastian wrote down all the declined invitations. "Oh, did I forget?" Sebastian said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes. A vein popped on Ciel's head. "I asked who you are!" he yelled.
Ignored.
Sebastian chuckled. "What happened to the map you created yesterday?"
I swallowed down the rest of my tiredness. "I lost it…"
"WHO THE DEVIL ARE YOU?" Ciel yelled, slamming his hands on his desk. I jumped and 'Eeped'. "Oh, I'm Louis Maylon. And I'm guessing you're Ciel Phantomhive."
Ciel sat back in his chair, sipping on his tea. "May I ask what you're doing here?" I opened my mouth to speak, but closed it. What am I gonna say? 'I'm here because I am meant to save you from something that is most likely the demon standing right there'? Again, loony bin. Okay, I'm good at lying…Let's see…I decided to tell him the semi truth.
"Well you see…I used to live with Dad and my adopted little brother, but then my Dad passed away last year. So I came to London because I had family here but I couldn't find anyone. So I've been hopping from inn to inn." Ciel rested his chin on his knuckles. "What happened to your brother? Why is he not with you?" Damn…
"I'm not sure…He just…disappeared…" Ciel raised his brow. "So you have no family here or a home?" I nodded, putting on my best puppy dog face. Ciel sighed. "What can you do?"
Seriously, Ciel?
I rolled my eyes and placed my hands on my hips. "Let's see how smart you are, Ciel. It's the 19th century. I'm a woman. What do you possibly think I can do?" Ciel smirked, satisfied with my sassiness. Yeah, I'm awesome.
"I can either make you a maid or force you to work in the stables for showing up at my home uninvited and staying here without introducing yourself to the owner of this manor…" he shot back.
"I'll take maid for 500…" I said. Ciel's eyebrow raised higher. "You're a strange one…"
"So am I hired?" I asked. Sebastian flicked open his stopwatch. "I am afraid that that will have to be decided later, Miss Louis. Please stay in your room until we return. Come, young master. We have errands to run." Sebastian handed Ciel his top hat and trench coat. They walked out the door.
"Wait! Can you at least tell me which hallway my room is in?" I shouted after them. Ciel placed his top hat on his head. "To the right…"
"Thank you…"
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Sebastian and Ciel walked to town, heading towards the staff maker on the edge of the street corner. Sebastian opened the door as Ciel walked inside.
"Welcome, boy. On an errand for your father?" the clerk asked, flaring his question with a tease towards the small child approaching him. Ciel twitched, not saying a word at the insult. Sebastian stretched out his arm to stop Ciel from going any farther. He smiled sweetly and held up the receipt for the order.
"Excuse me.I have come to retrieve my master's walking stick." Sebastian answered, emphasizing his words to make the clerk get the point. The clerk wasn't finished though…
"Ahh, yes. The owner of this stick." He took the receipt and looked it over. The clerk walked to the draw and pulled out the well carved walking stick. "I was wondering who in the world would use a stick as short as this. I never considered it might be a child—"
Sebastian took the cane and swiftly pointed it at the clerk's head, to make him shut up when putting it in blunt terms. The clerk paled, choking on the words he wished to say.
"Why, I detect not a single bend. What a magnificent walking stick." Sebastian said eyeing the clerk devilishly. Sebastian a bag of coins on the clerk's desk, smiling. "Please keep the change," he said, holding the stick and following Ciel out the room.
The clerk stared after them for a while before fainting.
"Really…" Ciel began, tapping his walking stick against the ground. "Finny's ridiculous strength is nothing but a pain. I had to get a new stick because of it…" he complained, walking along. Sebastian could only smile as he bowed slightly to his master. An image of Finny holding the two pieces of the cane and sobbing while saying 'Sorry!' flashed through Sebastian's mind.
"You have my apologies, Sir. Though you failed to grow any taller, you had to go to all this trouble." Ciel's eyebrow twitched as a vein popped on his head.
Sebastian gestured to the carriage awaiting for them. "Now then, young master. Let us return to the manor with haste." Ciel stepped into the carriage as Sebastian closed it, going to his post at the front of the carriage. "The programme that you always eagerly anticipate will be starting soon."
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
"Aaaaaaah!" Finny screamed as he grabbed at his hair. "I did it again!"
The tree that was once so vibrant and beautiful was now split in two…literally. Finny began to cry. "He was really mad when I broke the cane yesterday…Sebastian's gonna be angry again…"
An image of a chibi Sebastian with devil horns and veins popping on his head. 'Finny…You have absurd strength…So I am always telling you to be careful, am I not…?' It asked. Finny wailed in terror and sadness.
"I promised the young master that we'd watch 'The Wild Earl VIII ' together today!" He sobbed and sniffed. "If I'm being scolded then I won't-" Heavy footsteps that sounded like a trotting horse echoed behind him. "?" Finny turned around with a bright smile on his face. "C-Could it be? Maybe it's the Wild Ea-" The being that was actually behind him grabbed him by the throat. Finny paled in fear.
"AH! Aaaaack!" He began to choke.
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
I sat on the bed, kicking and swinging my feet. Sure I was nearly starving to death but I couldn't risk leaving my room. If I left and went to the kitchen (God knows where that is…It was in the basement right?) I probably wouldn't be able to find my room again…(Third door to the right?) I was hopeless in Seattle but replace Seattle with a manor house owned by some 12 year old. Wait…where are his parents?
"Maybe they're on a long trip to someplace…"
The door slowly creaked open. I raised my eyebrow and tried to peer into the crack, "Um…hello?" A figure with bright greenish blue eyes stepped into the path. From the outline, all I could make out was a puffy dress and pigtails…Weird. The being lunged at me, tackling me clear off the bed.
"RAPE! RAPE!" I yelled.
Hopefully someone comes to save me because who can I call?
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
The carriage pulled up to the side of the manor. Sebastian hopped down from his post before the carriage and walked to the door, opening it for his "little" master to walk out. Sebastian smiled as Ciel stepped down. The pair walked to the door. It was quiet…Maybe too quiet for a house containing idiots…
"We have arrived home, young master." Sebastian began, opening the door and smiling. Ciel paled as his jaw hit the floor, literally. The imprint was embedded in the ground. "I will have tea prepared right away." Ciel raised a shaky finger, pointing at the inside of the manor. Sebastian tilted his head at Ciel, noticing his expression. "Is something wro—" Sebastian paled as he witnessed the manor.
It was so…PINK!
There were sparkles, wreaths, bunnies, dolls, teddy bears, and streamers EVERYWHERE!
"What on Earth…has happened here…!" Ciel shouted as he and Sebastian stood in shock at the catastrophe that befell the manor house. 'Mymanor…' Ciel complained inwardly.
The servants came running down the hall, latching onto Sebastian. "MISTER SEBASTIAN!" they yelled. "What is going on here?" Sebastian asked, uncomfortable from the close contact. "And why are you all dressed like lunatics?" he asked with an attitude. Mey-Rin was perfectly fine (she took advantage of the confusion to tackle him), Finny was rabbit equipped with ears, clips in his hair, mittens, and possibly a tail. Sebastian was not going to look for it. Bard was a smoking baby…
"ASK THAT CRAYZ GIRL!" Bard yelled, veins popping all over his body. Sebastian tilted his head as he raised his eyebrow. "What crazy girl?" he asked.
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Sebastian and Ciel peeked inside the room I was being held captive in. This bitch was crazy! I cowered in the corner of the room so she would hopefully forget I was there. "This ribbon looks good on you…But this rose looks so cute on you!" said the cheery voice of the psychotic little MONSTER! Okay, I have girl cousins younger then her and they behave better! "I can't make up my mind!" she continued to yell. "But this one definitely looks the best! It's really cuuuute!" The girl yelled. I swear her voice was making my ears bleed and me consider suicide… The girl turned her head at the door and smiled widely. "AH!" Run, Ciel, run! This bitch is psycho!
Ciel gasped, most likely damning himself to hell. The girl tackled Ciel in a bear hug.
"CIEL, I MISSED YOU!" she yelled, hearts fluttering around them. I thought anime was supposed to resemble real life people? Real people don't have hearts spewing from their heads! The girl of psychotic doom rubbed her cheek against Ciel's little head. I peeked out the door, staring daggers at Sebastian to save me. Sure he doesn't know me, well remember me, but he should save the damsel in distress!
"E-Elizabeth!" Ciel stammered out, paling and trying to devise a plan for escape. His best option would be to bite down on the suicide chemical thingy on your tooth, dude. What are those things called? I'll Google it later. That's right! Still got connection! Verizon is BOSS!
Elizabeth rubbed her cheek against Ciel's face so hard that I was shocked that skin didn't start ripping off. "No, no, no! Call me Lizzie! Aren't I always saying that?" she squealed. Okay, now my ears are definitely bleeding.
Lizzie…Yup…Her name evens reeks of annoyance.
"AAAH! Just as I thought, no matter how many times I look at you, you're the cutest!" she squealed. I know what I'm gonna call her. The only creatures that squeal…Pigs.
But wait, that's mean. She's adorable. I'll call her Babe. Babe is a famous pig so it makes up for it.
Ciel's spine began to snap. Sebastian coughed to get everyone's attention. "Miss Elizabeth…" he called, stifling his laughter. Even that emotionless demon couldn't contain himself. I was too busy praying to every God that Babe would forget about me.
Lizzie snapped to attention, curtseying at Sebastian. "Why…Good day, Sebastian!" she greeted as if he just appeared into the room. Ciel scurried away a bit, catching his breath as far away from Babe as he could. He looked so pale that I thought he was just gonna drop dead on the spot. But then Sebastian would get his soul so never mind…
"It has been quite some time since we saw you last, Miss." Sebastian greeted back, bowing and plastering on a fake smile. "I've brought a present for you too!" Lizzie yelled, taking something from behind her.
That's another thing that pisses me off. In anime, characters will pull crap from nowhere like weapons and shit! What brand are your jeans with fucking bottomless pockets! Where was this when I had 2 phones, a pager, and 3 different chapsticks!
Sebastian paled slightly. On his head, was a pink and flowery bonnet. Complete with strawberries and sparkles. ONLY 2 PAYMENTS OF 9.99!
"There we go!" Lizzie said cheerfully as if she was Picasso. That looked horrible on him! It totally didn't match his skin tone or his face! Not that I analyze his features like that…Shut up…A hair popped up on Ciel's head.
The servants started dying of laughter, well on the inside. Ciel crouched on the ground, using his walking stick as support as he snorted. I skillfully pulled out my phone and took a nice picture. That was so gonna be my screensaver.
Lizzie clutched her hands together as her eyes sparkled. Tanaka fanned himself, laughing his laugh. "It's fabulous on you! Aaaaaaah! SSSOOOO CUUUUTTEE! You're always wearing black so I thought some color would be good for you!" she said. Sebastian gave the servants an evil glare, demonic aura radiating from him. They instantly shut up, standing at attention. Sebastian smiled, placing a hand over his heart. "I am exceedingly grateful…For your kindness towards someone such as myself."
"Don't mention it!" Lizzie answered with a nice smile. What she failed to see was the dead servants piled on top of one another with a pool of blood forming around them. I saw it unfortunately and gave myself even more of a reason to avoid Sebastian.
Oh God…DAMN YOU WORLD! I sneezed.
"?" Lizzie turned her head at me. "Oh yes! I forgot about you!" She ran over to me, hiking up her dress. I shook my head frantically before crawling back to the safety of my corner.
"Come here so I can make you adorable!" Lizzie said.
"RAPE! RAPE! RAPE I TELL'S YA!" I yelled.
Everyone paled.
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Ciel placed his head on his desk in between his folded arms, clearly exhausted. Sebastian sighed as he held up a tea kettle with a rag underneath, preparing for his master. "Lady Elizabeth isthe daughter of the Midford Marquessate, the family that Lady Francis married into, Young master. There is nothing you can do...You cannot simply refuse her…"
Ciel raised his head and rested his cheek on his knuckle. "It is not like I wanted to be her fiancée. I was forcedto." Sebastian poured tea for Ciel. "Regardless, the only course you can take is to do what she says to satisfy her. Then ask her to leave. After all…" Sebastian placed the tea in front of Ciel. "You have not finished playing that gameyet." Ciel took it and began to drink, leaning back in his chair. "Exactly. So just stuff some food in her mouth and send her on her way. I have no time for nonsense such as dancing."
(A/N: I am clearly paraphrasing now because you know what, I'm tired.)
Sebastian tilted his head. "But Lady Elizabeth wishes to dance with you…" Ciel twitched as he set his cup down, continuing to look over papers. Sebastian continued to stare.
"Young master…"
"What is it?"
"Though I have never actually seen you do it…You doknow how to dance, yes?" Sebastian asked, raising his eyebrow. Ciel quickly turned away from Sebastian.
"…I see…" Sebastian picked up the cake he had prepared. Today's cake was Orchard fruit cake with pears, plums, and blackberries. "That would explain why you are such a wallflower at events such as this, young master…" Ciel crumpled the paper in his hand as he began to sweat.
"I'm far too busy to waste my time on such a sport…" Ciel answered, hoping Sebastian would drop the subject.
"I beg to differ, young master." Sebastian said, turning Ciel's chair around. "Social dancing is called 'social' for a reason. It is a necessary skill you need when attending balls in any society," he continued, shoving Ciel's slice in his face. "An aristocrat gentleman must possess the ability to dance. For if you refuse the daughter of a wealthy business man, your social status will plummet, young master."
Ciel dropped his papers on his desk, becoming exhausted again. "Alright, fine! I'll do it. Call in a tutor. Like Madam Bright or Madam Rodkin." Sebastian thought to himself.
"We do not have the time to enlist the help of one of the Madams at this hour. A pretense of a skill as this should be enough for today, so perhaps the waltz will do nicely."
Ciel paled a little. "Who would teach me then? I doubt any of the servants here can do it…"
Sebastian shut his pocket watch. "Not to worry, young master." Sebastian placed a hand over his heart, smiling warmly. "Please allow me to be your tutor."
Ciel slammed his fork on the desk. "Don't be ridiculous! I can't dance with a tall fellow like you!" Ciel leaned back in his chair. "You can't dance the waltz anyway…"
Sebastian placed his hand on his chin. "The Viennese Waltz is my specialty. Permit me to teach you that, young master." Ciel twitched.
Sebastian out stretched his hand, his smile growing. "Will you grant me this dance…Young master."
BAM!
Ciel jumped in his chair a little.
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
I. Officially. Hate. This. Manor. House. With. All. My. Heart.
I panted heavily as Ciel and Sebastian stared at me. Sebastian's smile widened as he stared at my outfit. "Miss Louis, what are you wearing?" he asked, looking me up and down as if I was a gourmet food. Looking down at myself, I raised my finger for him to pause as I rested my hands on my knees.
My costume was very slutty. Yea, that was my expression to. What are they teaching this little girl?
It was a short corset dress with black and yellow strips that stopped at my knees, fish nets stockings, and high heels. I also had black wings and the stupid bulbs that are really bothering me. Did I mention that it even came with a honey wand?
"Damn, that little girl can run…" I complained, dropping to my knees. I held my breath and looked up at Sebastian.
"For your information, I am a bee. That is what that devilish child dressed me up as!" I yelled. Like seriously, who does that to people at random?
"That 'devilish child' is Ciel's betrothed," Sebastian answered, flicking the bulbs on my head that was apparently supposed to be sensors. I swatted his hand away. "His fiancée? But he's younger than me! How the hell can he be engaged and I can't even get a boyfriend most of the time!" I yelled, crossing my arms.
Damn nobles and their damn money…
Ciel smirked, resting his chin on his interlocked hands. "Maybe you can be of some assistance to me after all…" he said to himself, looking at Sebastian. I blinked. 'What do you mean?"
Sebastian helped me up off the floor and held me close to him. I blushed. Is everyone girl in this anime obsessed with Sebastian or something? 'Cause I saw the episode with the nun and how she lost her holiness.
"Watch closely now, young master. First, you must hold the lady's back firmly," Sebastian hand slowly crept down to my back, his finger lacing my spine. It sent chills through my body. I lowered my head and avoided his eyes, ignoring Ciel's smirk. "When the music begins, begin with your left foot…" As Sebastian stepped his foot forward, I stepped mine back. "Next is the natural turn," Sebastian and I twirled around. Ciel's smirk grew wider as my blush deepened. "And then you slide your foot forward…" Sebastian slide his forward as mine slide back before turning to Ciel and smiling, our bodies separating. "Do you understand, young master?" Ciel smirked even wider, if that was even possible…
"Yes…But maybe you should demonstrate it all together."
Sebastian looked down at me, smiling seductively…or was it evilly? I couldn't really tell…
"Yes, my Lord." Sebastian closed the gap between us. We were chest to chest. Creepy, I know. His gloved hand held onto mine as the other traced my waistline. He was getting too touchy feely. "Will you honor me with this dance, Miss Louis?" he asked, his eyes beginning to smile also. I rolled my eyes to get rid of my blush.
"Like I have a choice…" I said, shaking the sensors off my head.
I was not dancing with Sebastian with these ridiculous things on…
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Mey-Rin helped the little…MONSTER into her ballroom gown. It was pink and magenta and fluffy and…lovely.
"I think blue is definitely Ciel's color! When I went to London, I fell in love with the clothes I bought for Ciel!" she said happily. Lizzie tapped her fist on her palm. "Oh, I know!" She turned to Mey-Rin. "Why don't we dress you up as well?" Mey-Rin paled a little. Is everyone in the manor afraid of the little aristocrat girl? "Let's start by getting rid of those glasses!" Lizzie reached for Mey-Rin's glasses. Mey-Rin quickly scurried off to the other side of the room.
"I am terribly farsighted, yes I am! I can't see a thing without them!" Lizzie laughed happily. "Well if you can see far away, that's perfectly fine!"
"That's enough." Ciel said in his new outfit. Lizzie gasped.
"CIEL!" Lizzie yelled, running up to him. Ciel whispered something to Sebastian before bracing for impact. Sebastian nodded and handed Ciel his cane, walking away. Sebastian chuckled to himself.
"Humans are interesting…"
"CIEL, MY DARLING BOY! YOU ARE SO CUTE! I JUST KNEW IT!" Lizzie yelled, spinning Ciel around till he became green around the gills.

~Sebastian's P.O.V.~
My master had ordered me to go check on our guest and sadly I was permitted to do so…I honestly do not care for the woman and she seems to be useless. But there is something familiar about her that I can't let go of…I have seen her once before…Where though is the main question. I walked down the hall to her room when I noticed the steam glazing the floor. Most likely our guest has taken another shower…Since she has simply thrown herself upon the manor, I might as well mess with her.
I tapped my knuckle softly against her door before letting myself in. I was rewarded with a lovely sight. She was in towel, brushing her red hair as she aimlessly looked out the window. Her towel hung so carelessly around her body that one wrong move would send it fluttering to the floor…Hmm, one wrong move…Ah, what the hell. She has caused me extra work so I'll just have some fun with her…
I disappeared into the shadows and reappeared behind her, taking in the curves of her body through the towel and the indention of her spine. I noticed a silver case in the corner of the room and stared at it for a while, wondering what was inside. Whatever it was, she wanted no one to see it. I raised my knuckle to my lip to decide what I should do to get the right reaction out of her.
If I simply ran my finger down her spine like I did earlier, she would only shudder and turn around. If I whispered in her ear, maybe it would fall but only a little bit. Hmm…what to do?
"How long are you gonna stand there and not say anything?" she asked, looking at me from the corner of her eye. I stared down at her and raised my eyebrow.
"My apologies, Miss Louis. I was just thinking to myself, is all…May I ask you something?" I asked. She stood and stepped into the closet in her room, closing the doors behind her, most likely to change without me seeing. "Only if I can ask you something after…" she answered, rustling for something in the closet. I smirked to myself. "Fair enough. Miss Louis…What is in the silver case in the corner of the room?" I asked, eyeing it. She peeked her head out and stared at the silver case, her face saddening. "It's none of your business," she answered, closing the doors again. "Now for my question…" She stepped out in a silk bathrobe, sitting on the bed. Louis turned and crossed her legs, her hands resting in her lap.
"Why Ciel?" she asked.
My 'heart' skipped a beat, as the humans would say. "Are you asking why I work for him, Miss Louis?" I asked, becoming cautious. I did not like where this was heading…
"No…I mean why you chose Ciel to be your next victim…" she explained, her eyes peering into mine. My eyes widened. How much did this woman know about me? I laughed nervously. "What are you talking about, Miss Louis?" She rolled her eyes…
"Never mind…" she said.

How stupid does this demon think I am? I know he is a demon! What human has red eyes and can do everything? No one expect for Chuck Norris! He was starting to piss me off, the way that he was trying to cover it up! Psychotic nymphomaniac. That's another reason why I am not going to fall in love with him again! And can he please stop calling me 'Miss'!
Sebastian cleared his throat and smiled at me. "My young master wishes for you to attend the ball Lady Elizabeth had planned." My eyebrow raised. "Excuse me?" Sebastian's smile widened.
"I believe his exact words were 'If I have to suffer than the guest does as well'." If my eyebrow raised any higher, it would most likely fall off. "What does he expect me to wear? That HORRIBLE costume?" I asked, afraid of what he would say. Sebastian placed his hand over his heart.
"My young master gave me permission to help you choose and into your dress…" he answered, smiling seductively and staring for my eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that all the blood was rushing to my cheek and ears, I would have cursed the hell out of him. "Y-You're going to d-dress m-me?" I asked. Sebastian smiled.
"Yes, my dear."
My knees and hormones exploded.
(A few minutes later…:D…UNICORN!)
"Miss Louis, in order for this to work, you have to take off your bathrobe." Sebastian said, tugging on the string. I grabbed at the other end, tugging with all my might. Sure it was pointless since he is a demon but, a girl can try right?
Sebastian sighed and rolled his GODLY eyes. "Miss Louis, I have seen a naked woman before and I have done this many times. Now let go," he commanded, his voice hinted with ferocity. I shook my head 'No' as I wrapped my hands around my chest. None for him…
Sebastian paused and smiled seductively at me. He stepped forward quickly, my steps moving sloppily backwards. Sebastian pinned me against the wall, slamming his hand against the wall to get rid of my only escape route. He looked up and down my body, hungrily. I blushed deeply as I stared into his eyes. Sebastian's hand ran down my hip and playfully back up. He leaned close to my face but hesitated as he ran his hand across my cheek. The tips of our noses tapped each other as he drew nearer. We were breathing the same air.
Wait a second…This sounds kinda familiar…
Our nostrils brushed against each other as he hesitated once more. His hand held my cheek firmly. Our lips almost touched. My eyes slowly began to close.
SLIP!
I felt my bathrobe drop to the floor. Sebastian stood up straight, clearly satisfied with himself. "Now Miss Louis, was that too much trouble?" he asked, folding my bathrobe. I narrowed my eyes at him. "You…ASSHOLE!" I yelled. Sebastian tilted his head. "What is that?" he asked, staring at my chest. I looked down. All I had on was my Victoria Secret's red and black lace bra and underwear. What the hell was he talking about?
"That corset will never do," he said, shaking his head. He walked over to me and reached for the front of my bra. Why, oh why did I decide to wear the front opening bra today?
"RAPE!"
"…"
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
After 5 attempts, 10 arguments, and 2 puppy dog faces, I finally found my dress. And it's a good thing too because I think Sebastian was about to rip my head off. It was a pearl white corset evening gown with a lacey front and flowing end. Since Sebastian kept trying to put me in ridiculously high high-heels, I decided to just go with my black ones. I even put on a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.
Sebastian flicked open his pocket watch. "My young master is expecting us now. Come…" He gestured his hand to me. I looked at it before looking up at him.
"Oh, please…" I walked out the room.
Sebastian chuckled to himself.
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
Sebastian and I walked down the stairs together, talking. Apparently Ciel was still deciding whether or not to keep me or kick me out. How could he decide anyway with this psychotic girl running around and being obnoxious? I'm surprised that I haven't beaten the crap outta her yet! I just hope that he lets me stay here because I don't know anywhere else I can -
"Give it back!"
Sebastian and I paused on the stairs. Everyone else in the room flinched. A dark shadow loomed over Ciel's face as he stretched out his hand to Elizabeth. "Give it back this instant, Elizabeth!" he said sternly. Whoa…If he's calling her Elizabeth, it is about to go down…
Lizzie stifled back tears as she turned to Ciel. "W-Why are you so angry?" she asked, gripping the object that Ciel wanted in her hand. "A-All I wanted to do was—" Ciel narrowed his eyes at her. Lizzie began to cry. I slipped off my high heels and walked quickly down the stairs. I knew what was going to happen. "All I wanted to do was make you look cute…So why are you so angry?" she clenched her fists as she shouted at the top of her lungs. "You're so mean! I hate—" Lizzie raised her arm in the air. "This ring!" she yelled, throwing it to the floor.
Ciel flinched and raced towards her, his arm raised. Lizzie screamed in terror.
Sebastian quickly grabbed Ciel's arm as I blocked Lizzie. It seems we had the same idea…Gross.
"Young master…" Sebastian called sternly. Ciel looked at him, his breathing heavy and his face covered in sweat. "You have forgotten your walking stick that we went through the trouble of getting," he said, placing it in Ciel's hand. Ciel looked down at the ring on the floor, his breath slowing. I kneeled down and rubbed Lizzie's head as she cried, soothing her. I gave Ciel a dirty look before turning back to Lizzie.
"Everything is going to be alright, Lizzie. Please stop crying," I assured, standing up. She tried to wipe off the pouring tears as she looked at me. I smiled sweetly. Lizzie hugged my legs close as she sobbed. I hugged her back.
"Excuse me, Lady Elizabeth." Lizzie turned and looked at Sebastian. Sebastian placed a hand over his heart. "That ring was very important to my young master. It was a one-of-a-kind ring that was passed down to each head of the Phantomhives." Lizzie gasped. "Please excuse my master's discourtesy…" he pleaded, bowing. Lizzie looked up at me and then back at Sebastian.
"It was so important to him…and I…"
Ciel walked over to the remains of the family heirloom. He looked down upon it before picking up the pieces and walking over to the window. Lizzie tore away from and took a few steps towards him.
"Oh Ciel…I…"
Ciel threw the shards out of the window.
"!"
Lizzie raced to the window, looking out for the pieces. "How could you?" she yelled.
'Um, it's his ring, chick. He can do whatever he wants with it. Plus it's totally useless now…' I thought in my head. My inner conscience is really mean…
"It's just…an old ring…" Ciel answered, turning to everyone. "I, 'Ciel Phantomhive'…am still the head of the Phantomhive family." Sebastian and I stared wide eyed at him along with the servants. Ciel picked up his hat off the floor, dusting it off.
"What's with your face?" he asked Lizzie. She had started crying again. Ciel plopped his hat on his head before reaching into his breast pocket for his handkerchief. "B-Because…" Lizzie tried to answer. "Your face is a fright…" Ciel continued. "How can you call yourself a lady?" he asked, dabbing her face with it. "I can't simply ask you to dance when you look like that…" he said with a small smile. Lizzie perked up and stared at him, blowing her nose with his handkerchief.
"The rule of the ball is to forget about all of your problems and dance them away. Isn't that right, my lady?" he asked, gesturing his hand. Lizzie gasped and took his hand.
"Yes!"
The orchestra in the corner of the room began to play beautiful waltzes as everyone danced. Sebastian was the lead violinist, beautiful music flowing from his violin. I stayed in the back and could only smile. That's the thing about animes, (Yes I still think that I am stuck in an anime) they always end happily. Sebastian watched me from the corner of his eye. HE set his violin down and walked over to me, tapping my shoulder. He gestured his hand with a large smile.
"May I have this dance, Miss Louis?" I smiled.
"Sure…" I took his hand and he led me to the dance floor.
Sure he may be a psychotic masochist nymphomaniac, but he is still sweet. I won't fall in love with him, but maybe we can be friends…
What am I saying? No the hell we aren't!
Fucking demon…
Ta-da! I have finished this finally! I know you are all ecstatic about that! Let's see…I don't know what else to say really! Don't be shy if you have questions and don't forget to review! Au revoir! :D
