Chapter 1- Dumbass
An ear-splitting scream left my trembling lips at the unfamiliarity of the sights around me. I felt my eyes widen and pulse quicken, my heart thudding like a rock rattling in a box. The scream came again, desperate, terrified, confused. My palms were sweaty, the adrenaline coursing through my system was shutting down my ability to think logically. With much effort I willed my trembling legs to take a few steps away from the figure in front of me. It wasn't much but it made me feel a little safer. My hands clenched into a ball, trying to fend off the fear that was trying to overpower me. My hands felt sticky like wet glue. Momentarily, my wild scared eyes glanced at my trembling hands and saw the sticky grass from my heavy landing clinging to my palms.
My eyes slowly dared to look up. I saw his black leather shoes which were perfectly shined. The jet-black trousers that looked like it could be from a black suit. I swallowed and let out a deep breath in an attempt to release the fear that was overflowing inside me. My gaze went higher, I saw a white collared shirt, completely free of any creases. It was accompanied with a butler like jacket and a black tie. Who would wear so much black? I thought curiously.
The figure extended his hand out towards me, offering to help me up from the wet grassy ground. Hesitating briefly, my trembling hand took hold of his soft white glove. The figure helped me back on my trembling legs. I looked at his face, his neat short midnight hair which was jagged with long strands were a perfect frame to the rest of his features. His deep crimson eyes shelved by his sharp cheekbones looked into mine, there was something there it was either enjoyment at seeing me so fearful or it was reassurance that he wasn't going to hurt me. I decided that it was the latter.
Gradually, I felt my energy subsiding as the adrenaline left me, I felt as if I was going to plummet back to the ground again. The colour in my face drained away until I was as white as a ghost, my eyesight was fading like a film being exposed by light. What's happening to me? I thought fearfully. My legs buckled and my sight was replaced with black. I felt my body give into gravity.
The nearby sensation of waves of fresh cool air caressing my face stirred me awake. Taking in a relaxed breathe I took in the smell of what I assumed was flowers. It was a pleasant smell to wake up to. Moving my head to the direction of the refreshing air I felt how soft the pillow was, it felt like I laid on the softest cloud in the sky. The tranquil scene would have been perfect if I did not hear the sound of breathing, someone other than myself.
Fear clawed its way back in, holding me in an iron grip. Refusing to be the prisoner of fear I slowly opened my eyes, my blurry vision slowly became more focused. Sunlight illuminated the room revealing it to be very large, the walls were clothed in a violet floral pattern which added elegance to the room. I turned my head noticing the wooden bed stand besides me, it held a glass vase with a floral pattern engraved on it. Inside it was a bouquet of ruby roses and tiger lillies that stood proudly. It was beautiful. A single petal from the rose danced gracefully and gently kissed the china plate next to the bouquet, on the china plate held a plateful of warm chocolate chip cookies. The sweet scent of the cookies tempted my senses and made my mouth water. It looks delicious I thought.
A cough from the other end of me made me snap out of my thoughts. My head snapped to the source of the noise finding it belonged to a young boy no older than 13. His attire was strange to say the least, definitely not the sort of things that people her age wore. He was wearing a royal blue Victorian style jacket, copper high-heeled boots, a white button up shirt and a really badly done bowtie. The boy had short black hair with a blue tint, a single sapphire eye as the other was covered by an eyepatch. He didn't look threatening.
"Who are you? What am I doing here? Where am I? Who was that earlier?" I launched into a quick fire of questions. I could control the fear in her voice to a degree.
The boys bored facial expression didn't change. "I am Ciel Phantomhive. You are here because you fainted in my garden. You are in a guest bedroom in the Phantomhive Manor, and that was Sebastian Michaelis my butler." He explained, even though his facial expression did not change I could see the cogs turning in his head.
I swallowed looking at the silk bed sheet trying to process all of this suddenly, my eyes widened in recognition.
"Wait, your Ciel Phantomhive, the boy who made a contract with a demon who became his butler?" I spoke in astonishment. Was I dreaming? No way this could be real, right?
Ciel's face morphed from his bored expression to one of alarm and surprise. "How do you know who Sebastian and I are?" He demanded harshly sitting on the edge of the seat.
"Hello, you're one of the most popular shows on T.V!" I responded as if he had come from the planet Mars.
"What is T.V?" He asked confused.
"Way too confusing to explain, anyway how did I get here?" I asked hoping that they would provide her with some much needed information.
"Sebastian carried you in" He stated, his voice gradually easing back to his bored tone.
At that moment the sound of the door opening caught my attention, the figure came into view. I realised it was Sebastian Michaelis. He was carrying in his hands my baseball bat, he tapped it against the palm of his hand.
"What is this weird stick that you were holding?" Ciel asked curiosity dripping from his voice.
Excitement washed over me resulting in Ciel's question being ignored. I got off the bed, my foot becoming ensnared by the bed sheet which almost sent me tumbling. I caught my balance and ran to Sebastian, taking the bat from him.
I notice that the pentagram that was on the tree bark has appeared on the 'O' of 'Kuroshitsuji'.
A curious look formed on Sebastian's perfect features.
"Who are you, young lady? And why do you wear such revealing clothing?" He asked.
I look down to see what he was talking about, I wore a pair of shorts and a Kuroshitsuji t-shirt. A blush formed on my face.
"I'm Kitsune Regina Aquili and these are my pyjamas!" I replied.
His reaction is priceless as he realises the meaning of my name. Kitsune Regina Aquili A.K.A. The ninetailed fox demon Queen of Eagles. Yes I know the meaning of my name as I got bored and researched it a few years ago.
"I apologise for asking but what are pyjamas?" Ciel inquired.
"They are what you would call night clothes" I replied with a hint of attitude.
"Okay, but why do they have a picture of Sebastian and I on the front?" Ciel retorted, clearly not grasping what I was talking about.
"Because dumbass you're the main characters of Kuroshitsuji ones DUH!" I answered as if explaining why the sky was blue.
Ciel's features still looked dumbstruck.
"Look do you mind if I stay here for a while, maybe a week? Just so I can get over the shock of what happened." She asked looking at the cream carpet, afraid that if she made eye contact it would persuade them to say no.
An amused grin playfully formed on his face "Only if you play a game of billiards with me." He replied.
"Mate, I'm a pro" I stated.

"So I guess I'm staying then." I exclaimed with a joyful smile after I won.
