A/N: I finally convinced Allie to update! XD She's writing the next chap as well, due to the fact that I can't think of where to pick up after this.. xD So! Here you are! The wait is finally over! And I am currently still hounding Allie about the next chap, so it shouldn't be long to wait for it, either. :P Enjoy! DISCLAIMER: Allie and Juliette do not, in any way,shape, or form, own Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler or any of the characters. They only own their OCs, Yuki and Ayame. Black Butler belongs to Yana Toboso and FUNimation and whoever else.
~~YUKI'S P.O.V.~~
We passed a long corridor featuring a row of portraits decorating the wall. One in particular seemed to stand out to me, a young boy with navy blue piercing eyes though one was covered with an eyepatch. Not only was he the youngest in the row, but he was beyond doubt, the most serious.
Sebastian caught my gaze and smiled a little surprising me and unknowingly answering the question that was on my mind." The young earl."
I ripped my gaze from his deep ruby red eyes that seemed to suck me in and back to the could have caused someone so young to look that old? His childish features still remained, his innocence, but there was a hint of something else, something darker. His smile seemed a bit fake, a mask, a show for others. Maybe he had been hurt in the past? His features seemed to radiate confidence that was usual of someone with his social standing but there was something...different...like he was absolutely positive he could not fall.
"How the hell is this kid an earl, he's even younger than me," I gave Ayame a look that meant something like ' Bitch, do you WANT to die today?'.
She just gave me an innocent look like she had done nothing wrong. I looked hesitantly over to Sebastian to see if our doom was coming but to my surprise he just laughed and continued walking on with us following him, not knowing the way ourselves. I stuck close by seeing as I got lost in hallways at HOME, they'd need to send a rescue team out to find me in this huge mansion...plus...it paid to be next to a smexy butler...not that I'd ever admit it.
"I assure you, though a bit of a handful, our young lord is fully capable. He works under her Majesty, herself, afterall."
"Eh? that midg-?" Ayame spoke up again causing me to nudge her hurriedly, shutting her up, and causing me to have to cover for her, blushing at becoming the center of attention. My twin stared at me knowingly. Just what the heck was up with her?
"...Um...what job does he have?" I asked actually curious to know more about the young earl but feeling a bit nervous under Sebastian's intense gaze.
"I suppose you will find out later...It is quite strange to find someone who does not already know..."
"Thats because we come from a land farrrr farrrrr away...called NARNIA!" I nearly choked on air at her response but managed to keep a calm face. I realized something in that moment. Ayame is an idiot.
"Strange..." He raised one eyebrow staring at us suspiciously, a challenge. "I have never heard of such a place."
"Indeed,I did say it was far away, didn't I?" She immediately accepted it, narrowing her eyes.
"I suppose it is...reasonable...considering your current attire...such impropority for ladies."
I looked down at what I was wearing. What was wrong with jeans and a t-shirt?
"Pfttt, I suppose we should be wearing powdered wigs on top of our heads instead?"
Laughing at the mental image, I accidentally encouraged her to continue. Whoops. The butler frowned.
"Of course not, that would be distasteful for a lady...Hm...It seems we have arrived...Shall we continue this discussion later?" Sebastian suddenly stopped at a large wooden door towering over us but he almost reached the top of the doorway. Damn, I feel like a midget. Why'd we have to land in the one time where WE'RE the short ones? No fair...
Ayame made a move to open her mouth and protest but I cut her off.
"No need. We already told you where we were from so you can cease this questioning." I put an end to it, going along with my sister's weird tale but somehow he knew there was more to it. I could tell.
"Very well..." In that moment, he knocked on the door and immediately recieved a response, a shuffling of papers on the other side of the door and a voice befitting of the owner's appearance, calling back.
"Come in."
