Assassin's POV-
I entered my second favorite place in London. The door opened with a loud creak and I walked in happily. "Undertaker" I sang and skipped to the front counter. "Yes my dear?" he spoke creepily right behind me. After a year of knowing him this did not surprise nor scare me. "I brought cupcakes!" I chirped handing him a tray of blood red velvet cupcakes with gray frosting and little skull cookies on top. His ever present smile widened and he fell on the floor laughing manically almost dropping the treats. He finally stood up drooling. "Why thank you. It's been awhile since I last saw you. It seems you have been very busy. He-he." he said as he walked toward the back where the bodies were, gesturing for me to follow. "Such neat cuts and slices. Like a work of art wouldn't you agree?" he asked now in front of a man I had killed earlier that week and the man I killed last night after my fight with the demon. "It would seem so." I murmured with a slight grin. "Undertaker, I need information on a certain watchdog and his demon that is getting in my business. So here you go." I said preparing my joke. "What is the funniest bone in the human body?... the humorous!" I giggled at the cheesiness of the joke, while the Undertaker was rolling on the floor in a fit of extremely loud laughter. There was a bang soon after, most likely the sign collapsing on the street once more. "The person you are looking for is Ciel Phantomhive. I could let you meet him if you'd like..."
Sebastian's POV-
"I hate this place" Ciel groaned as we entered the Undertaker's looking for information on the assassin once again. "Welcome little earl." the Undertaker cooed right behind my master. Ciel jumped like always, while I just sighed with annoyance. "Are you here about the prettily sliced up baddies, My Lord?" the reaper asked between giggles. He had what looked like dried blood and gray stuff all around his mouth, making him even more strange. "Yes what can you tell up about the assassin that is on the loose?" Ciel asked unamused "and what, dare I ask, is on your face? "You know the deal earl. Come on give it to me, the one thing that I desire." he urged quietly invading Ciel's space. "Fine, do it Sebastian." Five minutes and side-splinting laughter later the Undertaker talked once more. "I'm afraid I can't tell you much besides the fact that the murderer is a professional and that the weapons were mainly knives and swords, but one was killed by a sniper. I believe that it was all done by one person. I also know someone who could tell you more and maybe even where to find your target. I'll write the address down. Here." he said handing me a slip of paper. "Also when you see her tell her to drop the act and that your acquaintances of mine. That should help, and as for the red stuff, it is red velvet crumbs and gray icing! My friend gave me these." He said showing us half a tray of spooky and slightly disturbing cupcakes. I took the slip of paper and we exited the shop. "Ugh all that time spent in there and we learned nothing!" Ciel complained childishly. I looked at the address and smirked. "Young Master the place he directed us is over there." I said pointing directly across the street. The sign read: Madam Silvia's Shop of Fortunes. "Really a fortune teller?" Ciel asked in disbelief. "It appears so my Lord." I replied highly amused. We walked inside only to be greeted by the faint smell of incense and herbs. Dried herbs, jars filled with animal parts, and other strange items lined the walls. Natural light flowed through the windows giving everything inside a glowing effect. "Welcome!" said a old woman wrapped on colorful scarves spoke in a Russian accent. Looking closer at her I saw that she had fiery red hair, multiple warts on her face as well as a hooked nose and too much make up on. She looked like a witch and something was off about her, she smelled strongly like magic. "Have you gentlemen come to have you fortunes read?" she asked over zealously. "No we have just come from our acquaintance the Undertaker's looking for information." I told her. "Also drop the act, please" I finished. "Fine but it isn't half as fun." she responded dropping the accent and sounded a lot younger. She held one of her wizened hands up, that were covered in flashy rings, and pulled one off. Suddenly we were starring at a fairly beautiful clear skinned girl in her late teens, with brown hair and no make up. She was still wearing tons of scarves and the same ridiculous outfit but seemed more normal. Ciel had jumped in shock and looked at me wanting an answer. I just smirked at him and turned back to the girl. "Any thing for Unny." she stated happily. "So what exactly do you guys want anyway?" she asked walking away from the counter towards us. "We want to know about the assassin that is rampaging the city." Ciel summarized. "Follow me, and I'll see what I can find out." she said as she walked towards the back gesturing us to come with. Me and Ciel shared a look and he nodded confirming that we were going to go with her. She led us to a dark room in the back with a plush couch and a straight-backed chair across from it. "Sit." she ordered as she sat in the chair. We followed suit and looked around. It was a rather plain with dark curtains blocking the windows. The only eye catching thing was the Queen's Seal of Approval, that hung in the back. "Is that the Q.S.A!?" Ciel asked in shock. (A.N. I'm to lazy to write it out again.) "Why yes, I get all manor of folks in here. The queen happens to be one of my regulars. I have never made a wrong prediction and you'd be happy to know that she has a bright future. I can sense that you care about her." She told him her eyes flashing gold then went back to their deep blue color. "How could you possibly know that!?" Ciel demanded in disbelief. "I happen to be one of the most powerful clairvoyants in all of London. I can see the past, present, and future, as well as things about you that not even you yourself know." I could tell she wasn't laying. "I can tell that your name is Ciel Phantomhive, you are 14, and that you have gone through things that are worse than hell." she then looked at me while still speaking to Ciel, "You contracted a demon, the contract is on you eye. Huh." she paused now looking at me in concentration. "And a noble-level demon at that!" she giggled. "Sebastian, is she really what she says she is?" He asked concerned about how she got that information. "Yes my Lord, She seems to really be clairvoyant." "But you're not here for yourselves, but for an assassin. I will need a key point to focus on, since they are not in the room. Do you have an object of theirs, or a powerful memory of them? Either will do." "Sebastian give her the flower." Ciel ordered. "Yes my Lord." I responded pulling the black waterlily taken from last night out of my vest, and handed it to her. Her eyes flashed and this time the irises stayed a brilliant gold color. "The waterlily symbolizes beauty, purity, and heaven, but that is not why it was chosen. To her it is the flower itself." her voice was faint and eerie, like it belonged to some other entity. "Floating above everything, seeing life below but unable to join it. Vulnerable, but with long roots and defenses to drown those who get close. To her it represents solitude. She respects the good, the innocent, and only kills the bad. I sense she is not human, and is very powerful. She will kill again." Her eyes flashed back to normal, and she spoke in her previous cheery voice. Ciel stood up quickly "Are you implying that the assassin has morals!? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." "Yes I am Sorry that is all I could read, But I do know this your paths will cross soon. Beware of black cats crossing your path...Oh and here" she said as an afterthought and handed me an umbrella. She walked us to the door. "How much do we owe you?" I asked pulling out a large bag of coins. "Nothing, getting to read you was enough." she said mysteriously with a smirk. I frowned slightly at seeing it but stayed silent. We exited soon after and as we were walking away I saw a black kitten enter the shop through a cat flap. "It seems only logical for the Undertaker's friend to be as insane as himself." Ciel grumbled annoyed even more so now. I just smiled at today's weird turn of events. I was never bored with Ciel as my master. We waited for our carriage to arrive but it didn't come. "Hmm." I said and I looked up at the sky after hearing thunder rumble. The once nice weather had quickly turned dark as the sky filled with clouds. I looked at the umbrella that the girl had given us and opened it. All of a sudden the skies opened and water poured down like a lake had been dumped on us. Ciel and I were dry, while plenty of shoppers were soaked and searching for shelter. On closer inspection of the umbrella I saw that it was designed to look like it was made of bones, with finger bones supporting the tarp. I chuckled highly amused. "What are you laughing at?" Ciel demanded a dark aura beginning to cover him in his anger. "Oh it is just the turn of events today that's all." I said not wanting him to become even more annoyed. "Sure." Ciel muttered sarcastically as our carriage finally arrived.
Assassin's POV-
It was almost too good to be true. I talked to those idiots for half an hour and they didn't even think that the person they were looking for was me. And they couldn't tell that I was keeping tons of information that I did read from the flower to myself. It was so easy to find a way to take them down. The demon would do anything to protect his master and that boy would do anything to solve this case, so all I had to do was play a little game of hind-and-seek and in no time I will be rid of the hunting dogs and able to do as I pleased. Night jumped on the counter after coming through the cat flap and purred happily mirroring my mood.
So another chapter down. (Doing the happy dance.) I hope to wasn't to lame. Sebastian and the assassin are going to fight again, I can tell you that much and there might be an appearance of a certain red reaper? Please review and the works. Thanks for reading. I also will just put the author's notes at the bottom as to not bother the many of you who hate reading them.
Sebastian: You really hate me that much don't you as to add the one person as crazy as you? Why am I back here anyway I thought you had the mutt?
Me: Pluto's with Grell at the moment. It was the only way I could get him to agree to be in my story.
Sebastian: You are aware that is serious animal abuse right?
Me: Hey it's not like I own Pluto or any of you guys from Kuroshitsuji. That why I'm writing on a fanfiction website. (Unnecessary Disclaimer) Peace out!
