What happened on the last chapter…

"You, explain just what this is?" He pulled out the letter I was handling earlier; the brat eyed me then about it

And so it begins…

Ciel's POV
"It is an invitation coming from the Viscount himself." That perverted Viscount gave it himself?! What was that gunshot from the alleyway then?! That damned Chamber must be planning something...!

I made the room clear and private from Agni and Soma. It was just me, the buffoon, Lau and Sebastian.

"I see, tell us what happened." Hearing it, her sweat dropped as if something was involved.

"I saw two men, a man with a goatee and a man with a cigar in mouth, discussing about the Viscount Druitt. He, apparently, ordered a box or so and wanted delivered to him by tonight before the party starts." The old lady only fidgeted her thumbs nervously. Lau seemed to relate from her story.

"It is strange that they also discussed about the Ship Voyage Incident. Saying that Chamber is looking for a man." Her eyes were hesitant in another story. She remained calm yet a bit...secretive at the same time. That man... Is he also looking for the Undertaker? Did they state about me and Sebastian's stopping of his plans?

"But a man approached the two and ordered them to get the delivery of the Viscount from the port," Glancing at Lau, his smile turned into a grim smirk, eyes opened. I think it is time for his answer.

"Two men at my port? Honestly, that Viscount is up to something, Earl. I saw them with my dear sister, Ran-Mao. They were getting a rather large crate from the boat. I wouldn't possibly let them transfer some illegal shipping down at the port, right Ran-Mao?" Lau said as he petted the woman beside him with a smile. Hmm, there is something more to it than that...

"Besides those two men, do please, continue on your report." I motioned the buffoon to continue. She then nodded, ready to speak up.

"After those two men left, the Viscount suddenly approached the man. That Chamber wanted to hurry the shipping before tonight. But, in a matter of life and death, Chamber had a gun behind his very back and then he...he... killed the man and dragged the body to a crate..." With those last words, Sebastian settled down a cup of tea to us then gave me a hinting look.

"From your statements, the Ship Voyage Incident, a shipment of who knows, killing a man; the Viscount has something in mind. Not to mention about that group he was into." Sebastian has a point. He was one of those insane people who wanted to play with Death. That would be those Shinigamis and others. But this is only a mere conclusion, but we have no truth. This invitation might be the key to get it out of him!

"And this very invitation was given to you? Hah, I wonder what did he saw in you to give you...this?" I mockingly smirked as she let out an irritated growl.

"Isn't that Viscount still struck with that girl?" Lau said giving me shivers. Is he on my side or the buffoon's?! How dare he...he...!

"Oh her? I do suppose so as the Viscount still remembers her." Damn Sebastian! Damn these two if the old buffoon would suspect it, she would learn another of my secret! Why?! Why must fate needed to punish me?!

"What girl?" I must evade that! Damn it Lau and Sebastian! I cleared my throat and eyed the buffoon carefully.

"E-enough from that girl for a moment... We must stick to the case!" Lau chuckled as got the tea cup and observed it.

"If we were to spit information out, we must get it from the source of it. By all means, we must attend that party and get close to the Viscount! Earl, you know what to do!" WHAT?! Lau gave me his cocky smile... But he does have a point though...

"But the invitation was given to Lady _ and not the Young Master. In simplicity, he shall be expecting her. Why not have the lady a little fun with the Viscount?" Sebastian saved me as I breathed out a sigh. We all averted our attentions to the buffoon; much to her dismay.

Afterwards, it was night with the party starting. We had a hard time persisting her but she finally gave in. Presently, us gentlemen, must wait for her arrival according to Ms. Nina anyways..

We waited for them inside the party as several guests danced and laughed in the hall. But to MY dismay and to their terrible smiling faces, I AM NEEDED TO DRESS LIKE A GIRL. Damn them! This is awfully out of plan!

"Sebastian...tell me, why am I also wearing a dress...?" He chuckled and looked at me with a smirk across his 'pretty-man's face!

"Don't you remember, milady? If Lady _ does not ever come, you'll be doing the task." This is simply outrageous! I hate being intact with that insane Viscount!

"Why does it have to be only ME to dress in this humiliating way?!" Lau chuckled as he heard my complaints.

"But my lady, dresses suits you and most especially," he leaned down close to my ear. "The Viscount would exceptionally search for this mysterious girl." He said with a laugh just as the Viscount was approaching us.

"My little robin, is that you? What a pleasure to see you, my robin!" He quickly held my hands close to his chest and kissed them, making me disgusted.

"But I do not exactly remember that I sent an invitation to you..." Dammit, dammit! Can someone send a sign of help or even aid us?! Will everything would go downfall as we got this far?!

"Worry not, they are with me." We looked over at the lady in pure white and black ruffles with gold linens. Much to our surprise, it was the...buffoon?!

"Aren't you that alleyway girl? If so," The Viscount knelt in one knee and kissed her hand. "You look astonishing, tonight." Damn that idiotic Viscount! Music played out of the blue. I was about to-

"Would you give me the pleasure of having a dance with you?" She chuckled and nodded. WHAT?! I wanted to stop them, but I felt a hand on my shoulder. Sebastian stopped me.

"Milady, Lady _ is about to discover what is behind the Viscount. You wouldn't want to humiliate your position as Watchdog now, would you?" He has a point, but it just pierces me seeing them hand-in-hand... I looked away, feeling a bit angry and...blue...

Your POV
The music played with grand music with all of the guests dances blissfully. But much to my dismay, the Viscount and I were as if 5 centimeters away. I should...keep...on...Enduring this...! I know he'll tell me all of it, the right-timing is needed here...!

"Vi-Viscount Druitt, I've heard of you from several news. Most especially I am awfully curious of this 'surprise' that I am recently hearing about!" I already asked him...! Hearing it, his eyes widening in surprise but quickly shook his head and smiled at me.

"What are you saying? A surprise? There is nothing a surprise!" He chuckled as I looked away but he all of a sudden held me by my chin and made me look into his eyes. I was needed of a thought to put his guard down!

I suddenly pulled away from him, teasingly. I'll lure him, or perhaps something alluring. I am now making myself foolish and full of shame that I want to run away... I giggled and attracted him outside from the party and led him to nowhere around until I was caught up by this treacherous man.

"Oh, Viscount, cannot you possibly see what I desire? I am meaning to see what is behind your," I gently felt his cheek with my hand tracing his face making him lean more to me.

"You are utterly persistent, but I like you. I like you from any other lady I have met! You deserve to know, my most beautiful Swan." He was leaning unto me for a kiss but I immediately placed my fore finger on his lips, stopping him.

Did he call me 'my Swan'?

"P-pardon? Sw-Swan?"

"Lovely tonight as always. Like a white swan in the moonlight, ready to spread its beautiful pure wings to fly! I adore you, Alleyway Girl. Different indeed from those robins! You and that mysterious girl" Di-disgusting...!

"I uhh am honoured by you, Viscount Druitt. P-perhaps, about that 'surprise'?" With a blink of an eye, he had a smirk across his face.

"Of course, my Swan, of course. Why don't you follow me?" He held out his hand for me to take it or not. Should I or should I not? This is for the brat's reward for me! My freedom counts on this...! I hesitantly took it and lead me his way.

He made me close tight me eyes. I hear our footsteps around a rather long corridor. Is he really leading me? What does he plans for me? Would someone save me...?! Then he released my hand leaving me clueless and alone as arms wrapped around my waist from behind.

"My dear Swan, there is this strange and mysterious mechanism that I longed for and needed to test it. It is to bring what is dead to life!" I tried to squirm from his grip but he tightened it just as I pushed him with my hand.

"Are you insane?! That is simply foolish! You are playing with Death! Why would you do such a- Ahh!" Something cold and lifeless held me. It was that man whom he killed! The Viscount simply chuckled playfully.

"That is what I like about you. Curious, full of questions and," He held my chin with force making me look into his lavender eyes full of malevolence. "Beautiful." I was jaw dropped just as he kissed my cheek and ordered this man to place me inside the device.

"Wh-what are you going to do with me?!"

"My Swan, your beauty is something that I, Aleister Chamber, must only keep. That is why I want to preserve you by making you soulless!"

Someone please... Save mee...!

Help you say? What may I presume from you?

All of a sudden, he fell flat on the floor along with the man. I looked around who did it, but it was none.

"Wh-who are you...? Where are you...?! Show your face!"

I wish so, but unfortunately you may not. With certain, we shall meet soon. Maybe so or maybe not.

The whispers chuckled with a menacing chuckle as it faded away. I quickly stood up and left this gruesome place to report for the brat... I never wanted to return here! Ever!

Ciel's POV

What is taking that buffoon so long?! I am being humiliated here little by little be-because of this pathetic dress!

"Oh look, it's the girl." Lau chuckled as I looked around for her and saw the buffoon running frantically in her dress.

"Earl!" The buffoon was soon caught by her knees as she panted for air. I simply raised a brow at her idiocy just as Sebastian helped her stand up.

"Lady _, what has happened? You look as thrilling as ever." She was tired and frightened as we left the party immediately for her will.

"Oy, did something happen with you and the Viscount? Sebastian, prepare the carriage." He soon then left with Lau and Ran-Mao, leaving me with the buffoon alone.

"Good graciousness...! M-may I just report it on the way? I am tired and frightened with today!" She blurted out in an angry tone making me surprise. What did she saw there? Was she in trouble making her act like this?

"A-anyways, anything else?" She looked at me with a tint of fluster on her cheeks before her expression changed from a disturbed one.

"W-well... He did call me his 'Swan'..." What the...? Is that all...? I chuckled out from her delusions. But this inside of me... It burns... As if... I must just...

"Swan? More of like a Black Swan. Hmph, I do not even know why he would describe you like that."

She simply huffed and went away with Sebastian and Lau.

"Like a Black Swan that has come into my manor without care. Who are you... Why did you exist into my life? As if my mind is going frantically insane with you around..."

The carriage came in hand and so we left this place.
