Chapter 2
Last chapter you met the Captian a girl named Rubert who's the same age as Ciel, and as stubborn as a mule what did ya think of her? Anyhow I don't have much to say here so yeah. ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
"Heh, don't mind her, Ruby's just a little mad." Rufio told them as he handed Ciel some spare clothes. Ciel looked at him.
"That much is obvious." He said getting dressed, Rufio sighed.
"People like that woman really get her goin' Yaknow? She's got enough to deal with without being judged by her gender and age." He explained.
"She's also quite short as well." Sebastian pointed out. Rufio laughed a bit.
"Yes she's short and foul tempered, but don't worry. Give her a little while and she'll get over it, and you'll get a better room than the one she'll probably give you today." Rufio said then walked out.
"If that's the case perhaps we should find a new ship to sail to Vampire's Island." Ciel thought aloud. The door creaked open, reveling the dark haired Nathaniel.
"Good luck with that, my master's is the only ship that gets there and back, with little to no casualties. So unless you wish to die there, you'll learn to put up with her temper and so forth." He said with a cold glare toward Sebastian.
"Is there a problem?" Sebastian asked, smiling. Nathaniel kept glaring; it looked as if he were trying to read what he was. Suddenly the door to the room flew open.
"What's the damn hold up in here?" The young captain screamed. "We set sail in five minutes, so get your ass in gear and get to work!" she walked toward the door.
"What an unruly girl, such vulgarity. Pure un-ladylike, it's horrid." Ciel said aloud. Rubert stopped at the door, and turn.
"Excuse me? What'd you just say?" Rubert asked calmly, but you could tell she was royally ticked.
"I said you're a horrid girl, throwing a fit all because you were told something you didn't like." Ciel scolded. "A real lady would have sucked it up and moved on." Rubert glared at Ciel, the room went quiet for some time, as Ciel glared back.
"I'm a pirate, there's no room for ladylike on a ship that goes to a place called 'Vampire's Island.' You act like you do there you die, so get used to women acting unladylike and men acting like savages!" She yelled.
"You say there's no room for civilized people, yet you have a man like Nathaniel who acts more like a high-class butler rather that some vulgar pirate. How is it a man like that can protect you and himself from the people of Vampire's Island?" Ciel said back calmly. The captain's face went red with anger; she balled her hands into a fist and grits her teeth.
"That's because Nathaniel's a-" Rubert was cut off by Nathaniel putting his hand over her mouth.
"I believe the two of you have quarreled enough, for the day." He said calmly, and by using some sort of power he made the captain faint. As he walked off carrying his master he looked back, at Sebastian, then at Ciel.
"I suggest you just do as you're told and stay out of the crew's way." He said and walks out.

The next morning the young captain burst through the door of the cabin Ciel was in. Sebastian was forced to sleep elsewhere.
"Alright wake up pretty boy! Time to wake up!" she yelled as loud as possible. Ciel woke up and looked wide eyed at captain Rubert. She wasn't wearing her pirate clothing like she was yesterday. Today; her hair was down and had a bow tied in it, she was wearing a frilled dress with black and pink ribbons, and her shoes were black with pink bows on them. Ciel stared at his female captain with a red face.
"What you never seen a girl dress like a girl before? Here I thought this was what you were used to, pretty boy." she growled. Ciel narrowed his eyes at her.
"Is this an attempt to prove me wrong? Because if it is, it's a sad one." He told her. Rubert crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"For your information, you're not the only one who wishes for me to dress like a proper lady. Nathan, forces me to dress like this every now and then, usually I wouldn't walk out of my room like this. However I made an exception since you needed woken up." She explained.
"You could have sent your first mate or your butler in." Ciel said, Rubert rolled her eyes.
"It would have been a waste of their time, and I didn't want to burden them for your laziness. Besides I…" the young captain's voice trailed off, and her expression changed. Ciel stared at her.
"You…what? Admit it you just wanted to prove me wrong didn't you? You're such a child." He scolded her. Young captain Rubert's expression changed to serious.
"What is Sebastian?" she asked her eyes seemed to show a bit of panic behind them. Though Ciel couldn't tell.
"He is a butler, and a good one at that." He said getting up from the somewhat laying position he was in.
"Nathan wouldn't get so worked up around a human butler. Now either you tell me or I'll make you tell me." She said coldly pulling out a dagger from her corset. At that moment Ciel froze, he didn't look frightened by the girl but all the same he wasn't going to try anything with a blade up to his neck.
"I'll ask one more time; what is your butler Sebastian, he's not human. That much I know, not only has Nathaniel been worked up, but your butler puts off an eerie aura. Yesterday when he tried to do harm to me, I felt it. It was demonic, now tell me; have I let a demon onto my ship?" she asked not taking her eyes from Ciel's.

In a different part of the ship, Sebastian was searching through Rubert's desk. Thinking he was alone he pulled out an old locket it was silver and had a red gem in the middle of it.
"Find anything of interest to you butler?" Nathaniel asked as he stood in the doorway. Sebastian didn't smile this time, he simply turned toward his intruder.
"As a matter of fact I have, this locket, it belongs to the young female captain does it not?" he asked, holding the silver pendant. Nathaniel's eyes grew large.
"It does; it once belonged to her mother, but it long since disappeared, where did you find that?" he asked, standing up straight and ready to attack.
"It was in your master's desk drawer. Tell me Nathaniel, why does it bother you that she has it? Does it hold some power that reveals the true you?" Sebastian asked placing it in his pocket. Suddenly he felt as if Ciel was being threatened. He looked toward Nathaniel, and smiled.
"It seems your young captain doesn't know when to stop. Until later then; Vampire." Sebastian said as he disappeared. Nathaniel's fangs elongated,
"Perhaps I won't get scolded for killing a passenger after all." He said almost gleefully, then dissolves into the floor boards in search for his foe.

Rubert was shocked to see the purple color of Ciel's eye as he removed his patch. He had already explained to her that Sebastian was, in fact, a demon, and that he had made a deal with him some time ago.
"Y-you made a deal….with a devil? What kind of human would allow him or herself to go to such lows." She asked her grayish-silver eyes didn't show fear as much as surprise. She walked over and sat on the bed next to ciel.
"No wonder you don't fear vampire island; you have a demon to protect you." She said turning her gaze toward Ciel, who had replaced the patch over his eye. "Still though, that raises the question as to why you a still human boy would want to go to a place such as that?"
"There have been a string of odd murders occurring in London lately, where the victim has been drain completely of blood and the only sources of wounds are two punctures on the neck. I have gathered clues that point the perpetrator at Vampire's Island. I'm going there to find him and bring him to justice." He explained. Rubert chuckled nervously.
"Sounds like a vampire, but a vampire wouldn't have done it. King Alucard(Not from hellsing) wouldn't allow such a thing." She said then as if just realizing what she just said slapped her hand over her mouth, and looked toward Ciel, who looked back at her confused.
"Are you saying there are real vampires?" he asked, raising his eye brows at her in somewhat disbelief. Captain Rubert glared.
"What you're saying that demon butler and Shinigami are real but the very thought of a vampire being a real creature of the night is crazy talk? What arrogance and hypocrisy." She said standing in a huff. Then got wide eyed at her comment.
"So that is what you are saying. Interesting, have you met a vampire?" Ciel asked in full curiosity. The young captain Rubert sighed, she had already told him so much she wasn't allowed to tell him.
"Well since I've already screwed up and told you things about the vampire king, I might as well tell you the rest. Nathan's a vampire, and I'm his master." She told him knowing that if Nathan were to find out there would be hell to pay. Suddenly the door bursts open revealing a breathless and bloody Nathanial.
Yep a vampire and demon battle. Neat huh? No? oh what do you know? Haha anyhow please review thank you bye-bye.
