~Ayame Maaka here, hi everyone who has read my story so far I love you guys. ^_^ Actually I got the idea for this story from watching the Child's Play by Gothicka on youtube.* That and stalking the Sebastian of the Phantomhive Service group's new pictures and video on sebby's channel. ~ enjoy! 'I do not in any way own the rights of Kuroshitsuji, just my OC this fic and my own characters.'
~Chapter 8: His tutor, goes to a costume ball~
"Why must I go to this ball Sebastian?" Ciel asked irked. "Why, if the Earl of Phantomhive didn't go to Mr. Smiths' engagement party it would be quite scandalous to your public appearance bocchan." Sebastian stated, well rehearsed on how to respond to the young adolescent. "I've come up with the best possible idea for us all to go as!" Ayame holding up paper bags containing her handiwork. "Let us see!" Bard, Finny, and Mey-lin said boisterously. They scrambled to look inside the bag Sebastian was currently holding.
"Alright, this one is for you four." Ayame said while looking at Tanaka. "Your theme is 'Goldilocks and the three bears'." "Bard, you're Papa bear." Ayame held out a bear suit complete with ears and tail, clothed in farmer's clothes. "Mey-lin your Mama bear." Ayame said passing to her the same suit slightly smaller, and with a dress and a bonnet. "Finnian your Baby bear." She handed the girlish boy an even smaller bear suit with sailor suit clothes. (A/N like what Grell, stole off of those cultists boys. XD) "Yay!" they shouted happily. "Oh, I almost forgot Tanaka you will be Goldilocks." She hands the shrunken man his 'Marie Antoinette 'get-up. "Ho, ho, ho." he thanked her. "Ciel, you and Lizzy are Hansel and Gretel." Ayame held out some German clogs, and German dress, and Ciel's boating hat in a tan brown."Oh my gosh, we're going to look so cuttteee Ciel!" Lizzy giggled. "Well it beats wearing that dress to Vis. Druitts' party. That perverted…." Ciel trailed off. "Did I just say that out-loud?" The young boy face flushed a pink tinge asked. "Yes, you did milord." Sebastian said with a smirk growing on his face. "That's a lot of baggage Ciel." Lizzy commented. "But, I bet you looked cute." Ciel turned rosier if possible. Mumbling he inquired what were the other costumes.
"Well I thought, wouldn't 'Little Red Riding Hood' be perfect for us." Ayame gestured towards her sister on her hip, and the black butler. "See, I'm Red Ridding." Ayame laid out her costume. It was a short red dress, a red mantle, and hood. She then laid out black mary-janes, white stockings with red bows on the garters, red gloves and a picnic basket. Then she got out Sebastian's outfit. "Sebastian is just perfect for the Big Bad Wolf." Ayame laid out one of the butler's usual outfits, but with blue accents added a dark blue tie, and a small top-hat with a dark blue bowtie on it. She also laid out one of the butler's pairs of boots, and black gloves. She then, took out real looking small cat ear like "wolf" ears and sewed a bushy spiked, gray wolf tail to the pants portion. "There you are my dear." She smiled, knowing full well he hated dogs. He smiled back not saying anything. "Right next up, Anna here you are." Ayame put out Annastia's costume a light blue version of hers. "I'm Blue Ridding Hood, yay! Thank-you Alex, sisters." The bubbly light brunette girl proclaimed. Her blue eyes looking big, and innocent compared to her elder's dark heavy lidded ones. "Well there you have it let us proceed to Mr. Smith's costume formal."
Sebastian checked his pocket-watch, it was precisely five o'clock. They were on time as they should be. Once they got checked off the attendant's list, they went up the staircase to the main parlor. Ciel went first linking arms with his fiancée Lizzy. Then Sebastian the head butler followed. "Come here." Sebastian said. Taking his hand, with her left, and her little sister's with her right Ayame paraded alongside next line in the party. Lastly followed in a line the three inept servants, plus one blonde curled Tanaka.
"Announcing, the Earl of Phantomhive, and his fiancée the Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Middleford." "Announcing the Phantomhive head butler, his fiancée Lady Alexandra Josephine Koyama, and the Lady Annastia Charna Koyama." "The Phantomhive servants." The guy with the list proclaimed. "Well, that was rude; they didn't even speak your name Sebastian." Ayame said a bit peeved. "Now, why would they go recognizing a mere humble butler." He traded back. "Nevermind." She said. 'You're so full of yourself.' Ayame thought to him. 'What makes you think that.' He smiled back. Ayame knelt down to her sister's level and said, "Why don't you go play with the other little kids okay?" "Find me when you want something to eat okay?" Annastia smiled, and ran off to play with two other young girls. "Oh my, what a lovely fiancée you have there, such a dashing gentlemen you are as well." Ayame looked up to see who was talking to the demon butler, who possessed unnaturally good looks. It was an ageing lady by the looks of it, maybe in her late sixties. "Why, the way she has with her younger sister, she'll be a great mother by the looks of it." The elder lady smiled. "Why, thank-you kindly ma'am." The demon butler replied. "Thank-you." Ayame managed blushing slightly. "Oh, and I love the costumes you three are wearing." "They look well made, are they store-bought?" the elder lady asked. "No, there actually handmade, all of the Phantomhive parties' are." Ciel declared. "My tutor Miss Ayame made them." "Well they look lovely good evening to you." She waved returning to the mass in the crowd. Ayame smiled at Ciel, and he blushed following Lizzy to the sweets buffet.
"Shouldn't you try and stop the young master, from eating his fill of sweets?" the demon's fiancée inquired. "No, no it's a party. If the young master wants to spoil his appetite, that is his own doing." The butler reassured. "Now, let's see how you've been studying your dancing." He offered his hand, and led them to the ballroom floor. People made a circular gap for them, parting looking curious. He bowed, and she curtsied. Gulping, she thought to Sebastian, 'I'm going to screw up.' 'Not as long as I'm the one leading you, and you've studied.' He thought back. He flashed a smile to her. It was surprisingly, a genuine one. "Shall we dance milady?" he asked politely. "Yes, let's" the blonde tutor replied. Sebastian whispered to the conductor. A Vienna waltz tune came on. It was going 6/8ths time; the tempo 30 times measures a minute. Ayame had thought, she would step on her fiancés feet, but somehow it went gracefully well. They finished the last twirl, and came to meet each other after running up.* Cheers applauded. The demon and his betrothed bowed their hands adjoined
"Well that was certainly interesting." Ayame commented. "Yes, you did look great back there." The black butler complimented. "Thanks." She said quickly. "Your always have such composure, I don't think I can possibly possess that much." Ciel nodded to them, Elizabeth on his arm like she was a part of him. Annastia, came wondering by she asked if she could get dinner now. "Yes, sweety the dinner is almost ready to be served." Ayame replied. They had a delectable three course meal. Ciel stood up suddenly, with a wine glass in his hand filled with sparkling grape cider. "I'd like to propose a toast to Mr. Smith, and the future Mrs. John Smith. May you live happy, and in good health all the days of your lives." He finished. Agreements filled the room. "Shalom." Ayame agreed. Mr. Smith got up, and thanked everyone for making their engagement party so special. The Phantomhive entourage, left the party with a few goodnights.
When they got back, Sebastian secretly followed Ayame to her room. "Why hello there little girl." "Who, me?" Ayame said, smiling. "What deep wine red eyes you have Mr. Wolf." "The better to see you with my dear." He answered. "What good taste in clothes you have." She said. "The better to charm with my dear." He said. "What, large lips you have Mr. Wolf." She breathed. He chuckled lowly now, "The better to kiss you with my dear." So he did.
