A/N: my realization of my errors is the first review for chapter 11. ~ I'm sure I'll make some more even with spell-check. I partially must blame what time it was when I was done. AM~ ps. I do not own kuroshitsuji or Disney music.

Blood Iris: Chapter 12 'The Really Long Boat Ride' Part II

Narration: "And, so our journey with the Phantomhive party continues… what may this 'chapter' in their lives bring who knows? But, we can insure you it is both random, and with purpose. Now my friends, shall we go see what the young tutor, the spoiled earl brat, and the devilishly handsome butler trio are doing…."

"No, no, no young master!" the black clad butler exclaimed. "You are doing it all wrong." He noticed the deep blue eyed tutor. "A little help please, Miss Ayame?" the man said irksomely. Ciel wanted to practice real combat, not the sword-play crud. You couldn't really be in any danger in a gentlemen's duel. That was deemed necessary, since he was always getting himself into somewhat awkward situations, where he couldn't always have the luxury of time on his person. (Cue show, and Disney movie references right about now….)

"Oh, Ciel, your all out of balance." The golden blonde started smartly in a sing-song voice. She corrected his stance so he would slightly bend his knees. "It's just like Gen. Iroh said to that robber wannabe guy, you have to be a threat, to be able to win a fight." She purred.

"And, what now exactly do I have to do to be a threat?" the small earl asked his one good eye lazily looking at her like she was being a bore.

"That is to say, lesson number one." The cheerful reply came from the fair, womanish tutor.

"Lesson number one?" questioned the boy with a top-hat, who carried a Funtom bunny-rabbit around with him when he was a wee lad of five.

"You must inform me of this 'lesson number one' milady for I have not heard of it." Her, would-be demon consort requested.

"Oh, you know it already Sebastian." Ayame smiled in her fiancé's way.

"I want to learn it now!" shouted Ciel impatiently.

"Ah, that would be lesson number two, how to be calm like this." She gave a demonstration of her usual face she wore, and pointed to Sebastian's. "We've both have mastered lesson number one, and two." She smiled at the earl, "You on the other hand are at the basics." "Now then." The young lady got ready her voice this was going to be one Hell of a song. She straightened her posture, "borrowed" Ciel's walking cane, and took a breath. She pointed to the ground before them, and to the heavens above them. Ciel was missing the point thinking it was a reference to heaven, and hell. He looked at her expectantly. "Here let's see if this helps." "Earth, sky." Pointing to Sebastian first though rather ironic sounding. "Day," She pointed to herself "And, night." Pointing to her mouth, then them. "Sound, and Silence." Then back to pointing to Sebastian then her-self. "Dark, and Light."Sebastian chuckled. "One alone is not enough, you need both together." She brought her hands together, and then drew yin, and yang. The feminine and masculine energies, that exists in all of nature. "Winter, Summer, Moon and Sun." 'Miss Ayame is the moon, young master.' The butler whispered. 'The sun, no matter how cheery Miss Elizabeth maybe is considered the masculine one.' Ciel, nodded. "Lesson number one!" "Like a rock hah, hah, I must be hard hah,hah, like an oak mahh, you must stand firm hah, hah.." "Cut quick, like my blade." "Think, fast hah, hah unafraid." At this point she had nearly severed the metal column supporting the loft, they were standing in. (Must have been her incredible chakra.) She then had Ciel try to repeat her actions with an apple on a post. With success, it split in two. "Well done." His butler encouraged. Satisfied with him-self Ciel defiantly said, "I'm ready to defeat my foes now Miss Koyama."

"Not, yet you aren't your still out of balance." The tutor replied tipping him over for his lack of balance. She continued, "Your only half way there." "Like a cloud, you are soft, like bamboo you bend in the wind." Ciel frowned, he didn't like this comparison. "Young master this is the female aspect, now then listen and you are milord." The demon butler grinned. "Creeping slow your at peace because, you know, it's okay to be afraid." The tutor had a tranquil look of understanding on her face. She had Ciel creep up hesitantly and then, combine it with the offensive masculine technique. In that way, he looked as though a snake, waiting to strike, and then doing so catching his opponent off guard. "You have begun." She finished. (A/N XD) Ciel tried, to strike the blonde lady but was still a young grasshopper per say. Just, for fun she snaked up and strikes him with her parasol against his walking stick. Then, quick as a lithe cat she moved out of the way of his counter-attack like the ebbing tide. This of course is controlled by the pull of the moon, and sun.

"I give, up you win." Ciel said tiredly going back to his seat for some sugary fuel.

"Naturally." The tutor replied.

"You fight well, for a girl…." The earl said whilst consuming some chocolate cake.

The tutor sat down across from the boy, and helped herself to some cake as well. "That's the same awkward thing that Gen. Shang said to Mulan in the first movie." She commented.

"Young, master your being rude." His butler admonished. "Remember how your, fiancée saved you from those zombies, and your Aunt Frances?" he chided him gentler.

"Yes, yes I'm sorry." "Now, I do believe you had made a point to tell us your life story was it when you fell asleep nearly in that demon's arms?" he smirked.

"I did not!" "I do remember being sleepy and impulsive though." Ayame wondered.

"Ah, so you being impulsive, like an instinct to lay affections on people?" "I shall have to remember that, for another time Ayame." The demon purred.

The blonde blushed shade of pink. "Me and my instincts." The girl muttered.

"Alright, but wasn't my life story about the traveling episode enough?" she said more to herself then to them. "My mother died of cancer when I was eleven." "My, dad turned out to be secretly unstable, and slightly abusive." "My, half-sister was conceived in his third marriage was it?" "Anyhow, when I was twelve, I'd started to learn my place on this Earth. My path in life per say." "I was to 'defend man' as my true namesake Alexandra." "In doing so, I would help restore order to the Earth, back to nature as it was in the beginning before the fall." "And, subsequent disinterest in the beauty and maintaining of nature." "If, I can help my fellow men, realize their errors in trying to make "improvements" to the land for their short-term benefit." "I Might be able to accomplish saving them, us from ourselves." The tutor coughed. "Though, recently according to the recent angel visitations we may be receiving instructions on how very soon. That and anything else I'm supposed to do on my stay on God's Earth."

"We'll find an answer for sure once we reach the Vatican." Sebastian philosophically stated.

"Quite." Ciel said simply as though it were enough conversation for one evening.
