Chapter 2: Talk and Show
"Hey, guys." Sakura addressed the group of animals. The second gray dog, not the one that jumped out the window and the two bats went to her. On the way to Sakura, they morphed into humans with clothes. The dog morphed into a human with white hair with a gray suit. The bats were twins but one was a girl and one was a boy. The both had purple hair and one had a purple suit while the other one had a purple dress.
"Hey, Sakura." The animals-human greeted.
"Ciel and Sebastian came in here a couple minutes ago." the dog-human said.
"Really? Did Sebastian have the sudden urge to play with the cats, Mars?" Sakura asked the dog-human.
"Yeah." Mars answered. Sakura laughed.
"Anyways, Tadao and Tamiko, I need you to tell me if it is a vampire." Sakura asked the bat-humans.
"You're asking us?" Tadao asked. "Why don't you ask…"
"…the Demon King." Tamiko finished her twin.
"Tadao~, Tamiko~, because this is about vampires, which are you guys." Sakura pointed out.
"But if it about vampires that hunt humans when the human show no sign in dying…" Tadao began.
"…then, it is one of those outcast vampires or is unknown to the council." Tamiko said.
"And the person who has…" Tadao said.
"…the most information on outcast vampires is…" Tamiko said.
"The Demon King." Tadao and Tamiko finished simultaneously.
"Fine~." Sakura gave in. "Yuki, can you call Him?"
"Sure." Yuki agreed. "By the way, right now his name is Edward."
"Edward?" Sakura asked. Yuki shrugged.
"Demons get weird names."
Ciel turned to Sebastian, "Sebastian, Oie." Sebastian turned toward his master.
"Yes?" he asked.
"There's such thing as vampires?" Ciel asked.
"If I remember correctly, we fought with them long time ago. We won the war and we kept the living vampires under surveillance and made sure they drank people's blood when that person is already about to die. Lady Sakura seems to be keeping two vampires and a demon dog."
"Father." Yuki called out. Then a black, circle appeared floating above the ground, the same height as Yuki, who was sitting on a chair.
"Don't call me that." A deep voice bellowed out from the circle.
Yuki said in a high-pitched voice, so he sounded like a girl, "But you respond faster this way."
His 'father' just scowled back, "What do you want? Unlike you humans, I am very busy."
Yuki said in the same girly voice, "Edward, I'm sure you are aware of the murders in London."
"Yeah, there were a lot." Edward said. "Which one are you talking about?"
"Do you know all of the crimes that are going on?" Yuki's girly voice asked.
"Ah…" Edward started to say yes, but Yuki would probably find out he was lying and that would not be a good thing. "No, I don't read all of them. I leave most of them for John to do. If I remember correctly, he did come up to me to tell me he was giving you and Sebastian's soul an assignment."
"Yeah, he did." Yuki girly voice said.
"I didn't know John was a Demon." Sakura said.
"You never asked." Yuki said in his regular voice.
"I thought he was a regular male." Sakura said. "And I'm usually good at telling people origin."
"It's ok." Yuki said. "John knows about your problem with males. He knows you absolutely loathe staying near male humans. Plus people that work with the King is usually good at hiding their energy so their energy reading is the same as humans."
"Why didn't he just come up to me to tell me since he already knows about my problem?" Sakura said.
"He wasn't allowed to." Yuki stated that directly to Edward. The circle was now pure black so you couldn't see the other side but you felt him there.
Sebastian was appalled. He didn't know that. And he was the son of the Demon Lord or Edward. Well…the thirteenth son. But that wasn't important. The fact that his fatherwas keeping secrets from him, I mean Demons keep secrets, but not knowing your father's workers. Sebastian was angry. Not angry enough to leak their energy though. Making sure they don't sense their energy was very important. He was also kind of hurt, but Demons rarely feel that way.
"Sebastian?" Ciel said, obviously mad that Sebastian never told him this.
Sebastian turned to his young master, "I…didn't know…that." Sebastian managed to say.
"And who is this Demon Lord, Edward, they speak of?" Ciel asked.
"Ah, my father, ruler of the Demons, in charge of hell." Sebastian said knowing the answer.
"Oh." Ciel said, wishing he could see Sebastian's confused face one more time. "If he was your father then does that mean Yuki is your brother and a Demon?"
"Ah, I don't know." Sebastian said confused again. "There were never any family records of him. And Yuki doesn't seem to be a Demon. His energy is a bit off…"
"Why don't you ask you father?" Ciel asked clearly liking seeing Sebastian's confused face twice in a day.
"That's impossible." Sebastian said knowing the answer again. "Demons rarely communicate unless it's back at Hell. It takes a lot of energy to get contact from Hell. And by a lot of energy, I mean a lot of energy that can leave me powerless, and then I wouldn't be able to protect you. But if young master orders me to, I cannot refuse."
"Energy?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian opened his mouth to speak. But Ciel, obviously knowing that it would probably take a long time, cut in.
"Never mind, tell me later." Ciel said turning his attention back toward Sakura, who's on the other side of the wall.
"Back to the point." Yuki said. He nodded to Sakura.
"We think the outcast vampires are killing living humans and drinking their blood." Sakura said. "We hoped you have some clues about the vampires."
"Yeah, I do have some information. We have a record of four—I mean three vampires." Edward said, the vision of him becoming more clear. "We just caught one a week ago. We know they are two males and one female. And remember, female vampires like male humans the best and male vampires like…"
"Female humans the best." Tadao cut in. The circle was now light enough to see the other side. Edward had his sharp teeth in a smirk toward Tadao. He had black clothes on, black hair, and black eyes. The circle allowed us to see from the waist and higher.
"Yes, we know all of the personalities of vampires." Tamiko said.
An awkward silence settled in. The only sound that could be heard was noise of the animals and Sakura, who was sitting down on the floor, playing with the cats.
Yuki broke the silence, "Just say what you want to say, Edward."
"I smell a Demon in the house." Edward stated.
"Yes, it's Sebastian." Yuki answered.
Edward burst with anger, "I thought I told to stay away from him, you…you HALF DEMON!"
Half Demon? Sebastian and Ciel thought.
"Is that the worst nickname you could think of?" Yuki sighed. "It's not my fault." Yuki said. "If you were paying attention to what John said then you could've changed the assignment and told John to only give it to one of us. After all, Sakura and Ciel, Sebastian's soul, are the"Queen's Watchdogs" as some people say. Besides we're against vampires."
Edward couldn't argue with that. What Yuki said was perfect logic. Ugh, he hated when Yuki wins the argument.
"Oh, that reminds me, I'm turning human starting tomorrow morning for a week." Yuki said. "So, Mars, Tadao, and Tamiko, you are in charge of taking care of this house from mythical creatures." Mars, Tadao, and Tamiko just nodded and turned back to their animal form.
Edward sighed, "Fine. Anyways, I'll be busy these couple of weeks so don't call me." Edward said.
"Yes sir." Sakura saluted laughing. The circle quickly dissolved.
Shine bright morning light
Now in the air the spring is coming
Sweet blowing wind
Singing down the hills and valleys
Keep your eyes on me
Now we're on the edge of hell
Dear my love, sweet morning light
Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far
Yuki silently cursed. If Juliet and Romeo don't turn down the volume…Yuki looked at the animals. Mars slightly moved. Tadao and Tamiko just stiffened. Sakura didn't seem to notice anything. Yuki loosen his muscle that he unconsciously was tightening.
Shine brightmorninglight…
The music got softer.
Sebastian stiffened. This was the lullaby. The lullaby for every Demon. This song was to make your human soul relax before we take their soul. Does that mean…, Sebastian shook his head. It's impossible. There is no way a stop near Hell is near this house. Sebastian turned to Ciel; Ciel doesn't seem to hear the music.
The door next to them opened.
"Yuki!"
"Yuki!" a boy and a girl came running in followed by Finny and Maylene. The girl sat on Sakura's lap and Yuki picked up the boy. Tadao and Tamiko quickly flew to a dark corner.
Sakura asked the girl, "What's wrong, Eris?
The girl explained to everyone, "Naomi fainted again."
Yuki asked them, "Did you make Naomi play tag again, Eris, Ares?"
Eris and Ares looked down in shame. Finally, Finny spoke up, "It's not their fault. We asked them to play tag."
Yuki apologized, "I'm sorry. I guess I should've told you before, Naomi has a week lung."
Sakura said to the two children, "Why didn't you tell them? They are guest here."
Yuki turned to Sakura, "I'll go check."
Sakura nodded, "I'll be in my study." With this they parted ways. When all was quiet, Sebastian and Ciel exited the wardrobe. They silently walked back to their room letting the information sink in.
"So, I hope you have a clear explanation about everything we just heard, Sebastian." Ciel said sternly, sitting on his bed.
"Of course, my lord." Sebastian said. "Let's start with the question you asked earlier about energy. Energy is like our life energy. Humans have it, too. It's like how some people can see auras around people. Some people can sense people's life energy. But life energies are not like auras. Life Energy is something you cannot see but feel. Your sense of… you can say touch… is the closest thing in order to feel life energy. Life energy tells what we are. Demons have a more murderous, smoothing energy reading. Death Gods have a more murderous, luring energy. Humans energy depends on their personality."
"What's so bad about Yuki?" Ciel asked. "What's a Half Demon?"
"I was getting to that." Sebastian smirked. "Half Demon is dangerous beings even if they are half human. It usually happens when a demon mates a human but there have been some cases when a demon mates a demon their offspring might be a Half Demon. The most current one was a couple years ago. Way before you were born, that's for sure. Most Half Demons are exterminated but some are under surveillance if the Demon Lord wants a particular Half Demon to stay alive. In order to kill a Half Demon is by killing it right when it is born or some other methods that no one knows besides that there is another method. Half Demons are dangerous because they have more power. They can easily wipe out Demons, Death Gods, Vampires, Werewolves, and Humans. But once a week every year they turn into humans. That is when they are the most vulnerable. But the week they turn into humans are random so no one can predict when they are turning human. Only the Half Demons know when they turn into humans. Plus Half Demons blend in, in any species. But every species hate Half Demons. So it is very surprising that vampires, werewolves, and humans would actually want to be with her." Sebastian finished. "And I still have to ask Father, Demon Lord, if Yuki is my sibling or not." Sebastian murmured.
"What did you just say?" Ciel asked.
"Nothing, young master. Just reminding myself in things I need to do."
"Anyways, what are the outcast vampires?" Ciel asked.
"Outcast Vampires are vampires that managed to sneak out, at the end of the war, without us knowing. These vampires refuse to change to their diet. We know some of their names because the Vampire Council had some records but most of the record was burned in a fire. Occasionally, we will spot some vampires but usually we don't have any surveillance on them."
"Diet? Vampire Council?"
Sebastian rolled his eyes, "Haven't you every read stories or books about vampires? Like Dracula."
Ciel just stared blankly at his butler. Sebastian sighed, "I should have known you don't like to read because you hate going over your invitations." You could almost see the 'pissed off' mark on Ciel's forehead.
"Okay, so vampires usually diet is just drinking people's blood. Well, the new diet is that vampires can only drink blood from someone that is on the death list or someone very, very old. The Vampire Council is the council that has direct contact with Demons and Death Gods so they know which human to feed on. Of course, the Vampire Council has to know how many vampires there are to prevent something bad to happen. That's pretty much it."
Ciel sat there on his bed pondering about the information he just received. Then there was a knock at the door. Sebastian went to open the door to find Yuki standing there.
"Dinner is ready, Lord Phantomhive." Yuki said and then made a gesture for them to follow him. They were greeted by the sight of their three idiot servants sitting on the dinner table. Yuki went to Sakura, who has just come out of her room and into the dining room.
Ciel strolled up to his servants, "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for dinner." Finny said.
"I know that." Ciel hissed. "Why are you sitting on the main table?"
"Yuki told us to sit here." Bard said.
Ciel sighed.
Yuki walked up to Ciel and said, "If it bothers you a lot, they can sit with the children, do you want to sit with the children?"
The three servants looked at each other and then said, "Sure." Then they proceeded to walk to the children's table, which was right next to them in the dining room.
After dinner, Sakura retired to her room with Yuki and Ciel went to the library to get the book Dracula while Sebastian went to check up the other servants and spy on Yuki. After a while, Sebastian still hasn't come in to help Ciel to bed so he continued to read Dracula even if it did bore him. Eventually, Ciel went to sleep, sitting on the chair with a book on his lap.
It was 9 o'clock at night when Sebastian came and woke Ciel up.
"Young master, wake up. Young master, wake up." Sebastian said gently waking Ciel up.
"Huh? What?" Ciel said groggily.
"Yuki is doing something suspicious." Sebastian said.
"Oh, okay." Ciel said trying to get up.
Sebastian sighed at his master trying to get up. Sebastian grabbed Ciel and carried him to the roof top of the mansion.
It should be noted that on one side of the mansion is the gardener's tool and on the other side is Yuki's mini house and behind Yuki's house was the servants house and in the backyard was a giant grass hedge maze.
The suddenly chill woke Ciel up quite a lot and then Ciel started shivering. Luckily, Sebastian brought a coat for Ciel to wear.
"After dinner, Yuki went with Sakura to her room and they talked. After Yuki helped Sakura to bed, he went to the library and sat down to read with a rectangular device and a cord attaching to the ear muffs she wore sticking at of his pocket. At 8:45 he got up and went to his house. I know something is going to happen so I brought Young Master with me." Sebastian reported.
"Yes, very good Sebastian." Ciel said fully awake.
After a couple of minutes a horse drawn carriage went in front of the gates and a man stepped out and knocked on Yuki's door. Yuki's door open and showed…
Yuki in a blue dress with breasts and blue gloves and blue shoes and a blue masks.
"Yuki is a girl?!?!?!" Ciel exclaimed.
Note: The next chapter is going to go back a few hours and just a reminder I love to procrastinate. Sorry for the grammer mistakes!!!
Note: In case you don't know the thing Yuki pulled out when she was in the library was an Ipod. I tried to describe it in a 19 century mode but it's difficult when you live in the 21 century.
