~Blood Iris Chapter 10~ AN: sorry for the month's long delay I forgot my password and had to recover it, and school ending and all and work. =_=" AM~

Flash-back~ 'A figure emerged from the mirror. My dear it seems Sebastian has failed to properly introduce us I am Lilith. We have so much in common! ~'

Ayame's thoughts: 'Ewww, that's so creepy.' O.O

Lilith saw the girl's face, and asked "What's wrong?" Ayame managed a very obviously fake smile. (To anyone in the room, except the nearly identical to the girl demoness.) "Oh, alright." The woman blinked slightly confused. She turned to the demon in the room, "I hope she isn't running a fever." Sounding more like a friendly in-law then, what she was. "I wouldn't worry so." Sebastian said. "She's tougher then she appears to be, much tougher then the young master Ciel anyway. The poor noble boy is like a porcelain doll only occasionally put on display." He said while making a clicking sound. "Well, I wouldn't want to intrude, but I'd like to get to know them both." Lilith said. 'You already did.' Sebastian thought. He gave a glance at the smaller of the young women. She looked intensely at him, while relaying back 'She did, you know.'

Ciel was waiting back downstairs in his father's armchair sipping tea and reading a political novel. He lazily looked at those who wait to greet him. "Sebastian may I ask who is visiting my manor, at such a late hour?" ~ Sebastian smiled in his little creepy way with his eyes shut, bowed and said "My lord, this is my step-mother Lilith the ex-wife of Adam, consort of Samuel the fallen angel, and arguable the 'Queen of demons'." Looking suddenly intrigued, Ciel looked up from his cup of tea. Lilith smiled in a demonic way and curtsied. "As my dear son Sebastian says I'm Lilith." "So, if you were once Adam's wife you were once human?" the teal haired earl asked. "As Samuel was once a high-ranking angel." She smiled. "So with that theory Ciel are you implying that persons can change their 'race' so to speak?" Ayame asked. "Precisely." "Which is why after you guys get to chat tonight, Sebastian and I will be preparing for an expedition in order to find some link between Lilith and you. You girls are remarkable similar in appearance if I may say so." He added. "You just did." Said the golden blonde. Ciel sighed, "Come along Sebastian we have much preparation to make for our journey for answers." "To where milord?" the butler asked. There was a pause. "We are going to have to go to Rome; they have many old Latin tomes there. And to see the pope."

Silence…. "Bawahahahahahahahaha!" laughed the young tutor. Sebastian gave her a look. "Sorry, it's just.. That's so funny!"~ "Have you been talking with the under-taker lately?" Ciel said giving the girl a wiry half kind of smile. "No." Ayame said seriously. Ayame then yawned. "I'm tired, you guys go ahead I'm going to retire and pack tomorrow at sunrise." Lilith winned, "But, what about getting to know, my cute future sister-in-law?" pouting. "They'll be plenty of time for that on the ship ride. Right now my dear's got to get her sleep, she's only human you know." He grinned. Sebastian carried her to the sofa that was set-up with a pillow and blanket. Before she fell asleep, Ayame sleepily put her arms around the demon butler and kissed his cheek good-night. Tiredly now she mumbled half to herself. 'I'll have to tell you guy's my life-story then… won't I?~' She then closed her eyes, away in dreamland. "That'll be interesting." Ciel commented quietly.
