Chapter 4: A Day to Discuss (The rest of the chapters including this one will be longer than the first three. These will be the ones that will take me a week to right. Yana Toboso owns Kuroshitsuji.)
Clarie's POV
When I got home after the event in the park, I went to the garden to think about what had happened. When I walked in I quickly dodged to the right because of two snakes that lunged at me. "Oscar and Emily, stop," said a guy around my age with silver hair and skin like a snake. Gotta admitt, he look really cool, especially his eyes. "'Sorry' says Emily and Oscar." 'He can talk to snakes?' I thought. "It is okay, no harm done. So, do you work here?" I asked him going to look at the snake I guessed to be Emily. "Yes, I am the footman for Smile. I am snake, who are you?" he asked in a casual tone. He was really tall, I noticed, when I walked up to try and pet one of his snakes. I guessed it liked me because it let me pet and hold it. "I am Clarie. I am Sebastian's little sister, I will also start working at the mansion as a maid. Nice to meet you!" He gave me a small smile. "Welcome and it seems Oscar likes you," he stated. I guess I was wrong about it being Emily. Oh well, I like Oscar. We talked for a bit about many things. I liked Oscar and Emily's jokes. Snake started leaning in, coming closer and closer...I thought he was going to kiss me, but instead he got a few leaves out of my hair and smiled at me. I think I like him some, for just meeting him. "You have soft hair, almost like feathers." He stated with a small blush on his face, "Thank you, you have pretty hair. Can I feel it?" I asked nicely. He said I could. He had really soft and silky hair. "Wow, I really like your hair," I said honestly. He smiled and we started talking about random things. We stayed like that for about two hours. Then, I figured it was about time to go see Sebastian and tell him what happened today.
I knocked on the door that lead to Sebastian's room. When he didn't answer I just went in. He had a small and plain room. But something was odd about it...I kept hearing muffled meows, I think, coming from the closet. I know he has an obsession with cats, but really? To put them in a closet...I had to inspect it. I went to open the door slighly and BOOM! An exsplosion of cats happened. "Shit, don't let them out, I don't want Ciel to find out!" Sebastain said as he walked in to see what had happened. I just burst out laughing at the signt! He was chasing small kittens all over his room! "Mind helping since you let them out?" he asked, kinda annoyed. I thought for a second then said I would help.
After we got them rounded up, I started to talk to Sebastian about what happened.
"So today I was walking around town. Then, out of nowhere my necklace started glowing."
"Oh, interesting? What was it glowing at, if I may ask," he made a curious face.
"The other half...and who has it," I stated simply.
"And that would be..."
"A shinigami named Lylian Spears. She is William T. Spears' younger sister."
"That poor excuse for a shinigami? What happened?" He asked smirking at his remark.
"They just stopped glowing when we got close to each other."
I went on the tell him what happened in detail. In doing so, I earned some very interesting looks from him. When it was all done and said, he gave me a sideways glance. "Well, looks like I will have to do some investigating? So, y'all are meeting up tomorrow, you didn't say where." He was implying I needed to tell him where I was going as if I was some little kid. "She will becoming here this time, next time we meet up, if there is a next, will be at her house." I said as I bid him a good night and went to my room.
Tomorrow was going to be interesting. *Whack~ Crack~ Boom~* I turned to the window in the direction the noise came from. She saw a shadow as it disappered. 'Oh well, I don't feel like chasing it.' she thought before getting into bed. I just doodled all night, or just about, I did get some sleep. About an hour of it.
Lylian's POV
When I got home, everyone was there. The party had started, but I couldn't get todays events out of my head. I guess after the party, I will try talking to Wil about it. For now, time to go mingle.
I was walking around when two arms grabbed me from behinde in a big old bear hug! I turned to see who it was and it was none other then Grell. "Hello darling~ How is my favorite princess' birthday?~" he sang. "Good, I had alot of fun today in Englad by myself today." "Oh~ Did you meet anyone? I bet there are some cute boys~!" he started going on and on about a guy he likes or whatever. The thing about Grell, he thinks he is a girl.
I walked off as he was fawning over the guy and bumped into Eric and Alan. "Yo, how is the birthday girl?" Eric said, "Good, kinda dazed out."
"You were able to go out on your own today, right, how was it?" Alan asked. "Cool, I meet someone who is kinda cool, I am going to see her tomorrow." "Man, already getting friends, you are going to have to bring her here!" I heard a voice say from behind me, it was Ronald. As we walked away Ron asked me if I had opened his gift yet. I told him no and lead me somewhere to open it in privet. "Why don't you want me to open it in front of everyone else," I asked supisious like. "Your brother would kill me for giving this to you," he stated. When we got to a room down the hall, we stopped and I opened the gift. "Ron...there is nothing in here? I don't get it." I said, confused.
"Close your eyes and it will appear." he said. I did as I was told and felt something on my lips. Ronald was kissing me! It felt...good. I hadn't even realized I had kissed back. We parted after we ran out of breath. "Happy birthday, princess." He said and smiled at me. I coudln't help but smile back. I can't believe that happened, I have liked Ron since forever and now he has kissed me! This can't be real! We went back to the party after the kiss. Ronald had also asked me out on a date, which I accepted. It was preseant time. Grell got me some new shoes, Eric got me decals to put on my reaper (Cute little skulles with rihnstones!), Alan got me a new doll to add to my collection (Now, I was one away from being complete!), and well, Ronald had already given me his gift. Then it was time for cake. Which might have been a bad idea...Grell said something to one of the younger shinigami trainies, Alicia, and she threw her cake at him, missed and hit Eric. Well, knowing Eric, he threw his back. After that, cake was flying everywhere. It was a full out food fight showdown. Of course, Will didn't jump in at first. But we all threw ours at him at once, and he went crazy. I have to admit, my brother has some skills.
*~Le Time Skip~*
I was helping Will clean up after the party when he asked what happened today. "Well, that necklace from the mystrious person started glowing..."*Explains todays events* "Really, who is the girl with the other half?" He asked. "Clarie, Clarie Michealis." I replied knowing he wouldn't like that I was planning on meeting her...at her house...with her brother...who hates mine. "Oh, her. I don't like her brother." he said in a flat tone. "So, you are going over to there house. I should probably come. I don't trust him or his sister." He said. I quickly told him it wasn't neccessary. It took a while but I convinced him not to come.
"So, Ronald wouldn't tell me what he got you for your birthday, what was it?" Will all of the sudden asked. I blushed red and turned my face so he wouldn't see. "N-nothing important. It is a secret though" I explained. He sighed and gave up. He was to tired to wean it out of her tonight. Tomorrow maybe. "Well, I will find out later. Good night, Sister." "Night, brother!" I yelled before going to my room, hearing a noise outside, and shurging it off because it was probably just the cat, Elleny. Finally, I fell into a deep sleep...
*The Next Day* Clarie's POV
I walked out of my room and went to go see Sebastian. He was in the kitching making food for everyone. (Except Ciel who is a demon). "Hey, do you need me to do anything?" I asked him. I wanted to help because I was bored to death. "Nothing right now, come back later and maybe," he said never once looking up. I just walked away.
I went out to the garden to see if he was still there. Sure enough, when I opened the door, Oscar came a slithered up my leg, waiting for me to pet him. "Hello, Clarie." He said in a happy tone. He had a big smile accross his face that made him look so...handsome. "H-hello. How are you Snake," I said patting Oscar on the head. He hissed and crawled up closer to my hand. "'That felt nice, I like it' says Oscar" Snake translated for me. "So, you got anything planned today?" I asked Snake wondering if he was going to still be here when Lylian arrived. "Nothing important..do you?" he asked walking over to sit down on a bench. I walked over and sat down sighing. "Yeah, this girl I meet yesterday is coming over to discusse something. I hope we get along well." I said. I wonder if she is really coming. I wonder what will happen...
"If you don't know if y'all will get along, why invite her over? Can't you just meet her at the park." Snake said. He turned to look at me with those eyes. The were a golden color and had a pupil that looked like a snakes. They were really pretty, and I just kinda stared for a little while. "Is there something on my face?" Snake said, inturrupting my thoughts. "Nothing, I just like your eyes." I said. "Thank you, I like yours too. I don't think I have seen anyone with eyes such a pretty pinkish red. They look like they are glowing." he said. "Thanks.." I said blushing. I was about to ask him if he wanted to do something before my 'friend' came over when all of the sudden we heard a scream and a bunch of crashes. We ran to the mansion, up the stairs and into the drawing room. We could still hear crashes when we got there. Sebastian was outside trying to break down the door. But, something was preventing anything from opening it. "Clarie, help me figure out a way to bust down the door." he said. It was odd that it was closed like that. I thought it might have been a curse or spell put on by an angel or something. I went to push the door and...it opened? What? Everyone looked surprised, we all guessed what ever was holding it shut wore off or whatever. We rushed inside to see a huge mess and Ciel on the floor. He was taped down and passed out. "Wait, why would they attack and leave him like that? I wonder what they were going after," I said. Sebastian was over helping Ciel out of the tape and waking him up. I swear, this is the weirdest thing today.
*~Le Time Skip~*
I was waiting in the garden for Lylian. Snake was there keeping me company until she arrived. It was about 1:57. Three minutes away from when she was supposed to be here. As I was talking I heard a noise coming from the front door to the garden. A small snowflake walked in and waved to me as she walked over. Now, it is time to figure this necklace thing out.
Lylian's POV
When I woke up the next day, I was full of energy and ready to start today! I get to reap my first soul today, then the thing in the garden and Claries, then I have a date with Ron. I wonder when I should tell William about us. I will do it later. I walked down the stairs to see a note from Will. 'I had to go in a little earlier. Just drop by my office when you get there and I will give you your reaper and soul to reap. I have left breakfest for you. -Will' I read out the note and went to go eat. After that I headed for Will's office. When I got there he was doing paper work and had Ronald in there. Since Will is Ronalds suppervisor and mentor, he shows and helps him with paper work. Ronald noticed me coming in and flashed me a big smile, I blushed and smiled back. Will raised an eyebrow at what just happened. After a couple of pages Ronald was free to go and do it on his own. "What was that a second ago?" Will asked the second Ron was out of the room. "Nothing. When will I find out who my mentor is?" I asked trying to not get on that topic. "It will be in a week or two. It was more than nothing, because then you wouldn't be blushing." He said, I knew he wasn't going to give up. I tried a few more times trying to change topic, but it didn't work. Finally I gave up.
"Ron and I have a date tonight. It will be after I get back from Clarie's." I said, waiting for his reaction. "Since when are you two..." he started to say but I cut off telling him he didn't want details. He gave me a funny look but gave up. "Fine, are you ready to get started?" He said talking about the job I had today. "Yes!" I said with excitment! Will walked over and pulled out a reaper that I had orderd for when this day came. It was a long pole with a Hummingbird at the end. It's nose pointed out kinda far and was really sharp. The pole looked like a steam and had two smaller blades that were leaves near the top. It was really pretty.
"Well, let's get going!" I said and Will nodded, leading me to my soul.
*~Le Time Skip~*
I was walking around the halls kinda bored. My first reaping went well and it was done quickly. I had about ten minutes before it was 2:00, so I figured I would go ahead and leave. I went to Will and he sent me where I needed to go. By the time I got there it was 1:55. It took about two minutes to reach the garden and walk in. When I got there I saw Clarie watching me enter and she had a boy with her. He was a tall snake like person. He said bye and walked out. Well, here goes nothing...
Normal POV
Clarie motioned for Lylian to sit down at the table with her, noticing her light blue dress with matching glasses. "Your dress is pretty, I like the color," Lylian said, trying to make small talk. "Thank you, I like yours too." Clarie said, the two girls sat there, not knowing what to say. When Sebastian walked in offering some tea. "Oh, yes please. Thank you," Lylian said and he poured her a glass, dismissed himself and left. "So, has anything else strange happen with your necklace lately?" Clarie asked, finally getting to the point. "No, yours?" Lylian said casually sipping her tea. "Well," Clarie said, "Let's try and figure a few things out about them."
*~Le Time Skip~*
After they discussed the necklaces and decided to meet up on a later date, Lylian suggested they walk around the estate and get to know each other better. They figured out that they both liked alot of things. Both of them are the same age, they both like the same kind of music, both of there brothers hate each other, they like to go shopping, and this is there first time being to England.
They were becoming fast friends. "Well, I better get back so I can get ready for my date and my brother won't freak out for me being gone long." Lylian said kinda sadly. She had enjoyed her time her. "Okay, see you soon! Have fun on your date!" Clarie said, she was also said it was over.
Me: Finally! After writers block and having a day to write it (I got lazy) it is done...I stayed up late...*sleepy*
Seb: Don't procrastinate and we won't have this problem.
Me: Shut up or I will let Grell in your room and tell him you want to kidnap your cats.
Seb: Do it and die *Glares*
Me: *Glares back*
Ronald, Eric, and Alan: R&R!
