Summary: Katie Walker was a 14 year old girl who was an otaku. She takes up classes on martial arts and has a slave named Yuusuke Usui. However, one thing led to another and suddenly she and her slave manage to actually fall through the screen in a cinema and find themselves in a familiar world known as the Anime World and actually meet Ciel and Sebastian.
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING BUT MY OCs (KATIE WALKER/YUUSUKE USUI/EMMA TATE/MINAMI TOKURA/HARU FUJISAKI)
BTW, THE OC IS THE FANFIC PIC.
T
Man, I just can't wait to see the look on Yuusuke's face when I get home! I was in the carriage, waiting for Ciel and Sebastian to get back. Apparently, my clothing was far too… inappropriate… for anyone's eyes; which is so freakin' unfair! I wanna go out too… and I wanna go adventure with them! Why is history so freakin' unfair? He told me that my skirt was too short, and that I needed to get a longer one if I ever wanted to go out with them in public.
Well, truth to be told, it wasn't really that bad. Because I had my school bag! Why would I be happy because of that… you ask? Well, step up step up! Prepare to be amazed by the VERY CONTENTS OF KATIE WALKER'S AWESOME SCHOOL BAG! MUAHAHAHHAHA!
Okay… so there was my iPad minis –Macaroni, Sakura and Sebby- (A/N: Those who read the previous story… I hope you remember them! Yes, I changed their names. Joey evolved into Macaroni and Sebasciel transformed into Sebby. On with the story!)
So I shall explain Macaroni first! Macaroni was my favorite iPad because I downloaded TONS of songs and funny vines inside! And it was pretty random. It focused more onto my life and personal stuff. There were also LOADS of games that could keep me company if I was ever bored! So... HOORAY FOR ME! DAMN YOU PEOPLE WHO WANTED ME TO BE BORED! MYAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
Sakura, however, is about Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail and all other action and fantasy stuff. It had lots of Sasusaku pictures, and also a few videos, episodes and games. So… meh. Not really as exciting, but still FULLY AWESOME!
Alright! Next up is Sebby, and I'm sure you know who I'm talking about… I waggled my eyes at nobody in particular. It had Kuroshitsuji stuff, and also TONS of pictures of Sebastian… shirtless… GYAHHH! NOSE BLEED! Sebasciel pictures are the best... Oh, I LOVE Yaoi... How bout you people? In Sebby there are also the 1st season's episodes that I had downloaded in any case I wanted to watch them again, not to mention the OVAs included.
On with the list!
-my Samsung Galaxy S3, on my wrist was my Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 (Samsung Lover… figures) my earphones, my headphones, my small kendo sword –in any case I needed it- and a kunai! Where are all the books, you ask? I left them all in my locker… duh! Oh yeah, and my pencil box and my bento!
Oh yeah, and I realized something when I pulled out my iPad. All my electronic devices are automatically set up to 100% of power. Cool, huh? It never drops! I am LOVING this world. Give me an A! A! Give me a W! W! GIVE ME AN E! E! GIVE A S, O, M, E –CUZ IM LAZY TO SAY THE OTHERS! S!O!M!E! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL? AWESMAZING! No it doesn—SHUT UP! THIS WORLD IS BOTH AWESOME AND AMAZING!
Just as I was busy playing Doodle Jump on Macaroni, Ciel appeared by the door. He entered the carriage and took a seat opposite of me. Sebastian followed after closing the door and took a seat next to Ciel.
"Welcome back to the carriage of awesomeness" I greeted them casually with a wink.
"Happy to be back" He groaned, almost annoyed.
I chuckled, keeping my iPad away. "Oh, c'mon, the old man was just surprised that kids like you need to use walking sticks!" Ciel gave me a surprised, about to ask when he remembered that I hold thy knowledge! MUAHAHAHHAH!
"If I may ask" Sebastian interrupted. "Is there any reason for your… need… to follow us? Mr. Usui seemed very happy to stay at the manor."
Ah, I knew he was going to ask me that question!
I gave him a playful smile. "Can't I hang with my two favorite guys in this world?" Ciel rolled his eyes, implying that he wasn't going to fall for flattery. I sighed and leaned into my seat comfortably. "Fine. If you really don't believe me then, my answer will be that I'd like to avoid all problems made by Mr. Sutcliffe"
Sebastian hummed, nodding as Ciel dead-panned. I'm sure that both Ciel and Sebastian understood the pains of handling Grell, the troublemaker. I bet they didn't expect ME to run away from him as well. To be honest, I was actually trying to hide away from Lizzie who was visiting. I hoped and prayed that she wouldn't dress me up as well. I -to be honest- hated girly stuff like dresses, and the color PINK! I was more into blue, and I hated dressing up! It took too much time and I was always lazy! So, to avoid Lizzie ever attacking me, I took this chance to escape from her! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
I chuckled, patting his knee lightly. "Don't worry! I know he gets a little sensitive with the color mistakes… but he really DOES look good in red; in ALL honesty! I mean seriously; if he was a real girl, he'd look stunning! Or should I say… she?" I waggled my brows at Ciel who looked so confused I think it's best I take a picture. "Alright… do NOT move!" I told him threateningly.
He flinched. "What? Why?"
I slowly and cautiously took out my phone from my pocket and quickly took a snapshot of him. After the flash, Ciel blinked continuously as he held onto his head. "What did you just do?"Ah, his eyes must've hurt. Apologies, Phantomhive!
"I took a picture of you… duh" I simply said as I looked at the picture again. "Oh my god… a derp. A freakin derp… so BEA-U-TI-FUL…." I waggled my eyebrows at Ciel. "YOU LOOK BEA-U-TI-FUL, no?" I showed Ciel his own derp, making his eyebrow twitch.
Sebastian drew closer at my S3 and chuckled deeply. "Indeed he does, Miss Katie"
Only then did I realize something which I always missed. "Wait. If you're here" I paused, looking at Sebastian with narrowed eyes. "Then who is driving this thing?"
Ciel finally recovered. "The driver, of course"
I blinked, taking the chances of opening the door. Yes, the carriage was going at full speed, but I was curious. I took a quick peek at the middle aged man who was driving the carriage. Hmm... I never noticed him before. "Yo, dude!" I greeted, causing him to jump slightly. I closed the door once more and turned to Ciel who was as pale as a ghost.
"So... What's his name? Does he live with you at the manor? How come I've never seen him before? Do you pay him? Is this the first time he's ever driven for you? Have you ever had a REAL conversation with him?"
Ciel was still frozen stiff, but he managed to turn to Sebastian with his face still as deadly as a corpse's. "Sebastian, are you sure she is human?"
"Yes, young master. She is indeed, without a doubt, a human. However" Both our heads instantly turned to the demon once more. "I can feel a different flow of... sustaining energy which isn't rather familiar to me... running through her veins" Their eyes met mine, waiting for me to explain.
"What? I have seriously no fucking ice cubes about what you were talking about"
SMACK!
"Language, Miss Katie"
"That don't mean you had to freakin' hit me in the head you shitty little-"
SMACK!
T
After that -oh so painful- carriage ride, we finally reached the doors of the Phantomhive Manor. My head was covered with bumps since Sebastian wouldn't stop smacking my head. I can't believe him! I mean; we have freakin' rights to say anything we want! I can say as many bad words as I want, can't I? Ain't nobody got right to say no! Hell no!
Ciel stared at me, disturbed. "Um, are you alright?" He eyed the weird bumps on my head as I twitched weakly.
I gave him a small smile and a thumbs up. "P-Peachy…" I will NOT admit defeat, Sebastian! No way! I shall have the last laugh… MUAHAHHAHAHAHHA! MUAHHAHAHA! You're laughing when you got smacked at least 27 times! GYAHAHAHHAHHAHA!
Sebastian suddenly appeared behind us. "Forgive me for punishing you harshly, Miss Katie, but a lady should not speak in such a way." I turned around and was about to yell at him when I saw the sad pout on his face.
I grinned sweetly. "It's okay, Sebby! I know you love me, I love you too!" I gave him a hug, making Ciel roll his eyes. Sebastian patted me on the head before pulling away. He darted to the door and turned to Ciel again.
"I'm sure you're tired, young master. I will prepare tea for you immediately." He smiled at me. "Do you have any requests, Miss Katie?"
"Lemonade for me my oh-so sexxay demon friend!" I replied pulling out my phone again.
Ciel gave me a bored look. "Are you planning on taking another 'derp' again, Katie?" He did the 'quote' thing with his hands.
"OH HO HO HO!"
Was all I said.
Sebastian pushed open the door to reveal… Lizzie's masterpiece.
I quickly ran over in front of Sebastian who opened the doors, to reveal the cuteness of the Phantomhive Manor. Ciel and Sebastian then gasped in shock. All of a sudden, my inner gay photography skills came to life and I started to shoot Sebastian and Ciel like they were gorgeous models that were going to appear in Vogue Magazine.
"Oh, that's right! That's right! Beautiful my darlings!" I said in a gay accent as I took more shots with my S3. "Give me some of that surprise edge!" Oh my gawd... "SEBASTIAN BABY! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS! GIVE ME THAT SEXY SURPRISE EDGE!" Pictures, pictures, glorious pictures...
As I continued to admire my handiwork in a corner, the trio appeared in their ridiculous outfits. They surrounded in front of Sebastian, crying for help. "What happened and why are you in such ridiculous outfits?" He asked for an answer.''She's crazy!" Bard exclaimed, pulling Sebastian's collar.
Ciel quickly recovered and shot him a look. "What are you talking about? The only lunatic around here who is a female is that girl" He pointed at me who was busy giggling at my pictures of Ciel and Sebastian.
Suddenly, a weird noise was coming from a room. It was probably Grell who was choking. My 'spidey' senses tingled. "I'll save you Grell!" I ran towards the door and slammed it open to find Grell being hanged. Other than that, he was decorated with orange ribbons. I quickly retrieved a kunai from my bag and threw it at the rope which caused it to snap and Grell to drop on his face. I winced. "Oooh, that's gotta hurt.." Sebastian and Ciel then entered the room. "What...?" Ciel stared at Grell who looked okay.
"Are you okay, Grell?" I asked, holding onto his sides like he was about to die. I drew closer, totally invading his personal space. "WHERE. IS. YUUSUKE?"
Before Grell could whimper and shrink, a voice sounded from above.
"U-up here, Katie"
My head jerked upwards to find my butler dressed in a tutu with lipstick. His face was powdered evenly, and that blonde wig on him looked mother-freakin awesome. Oh my gawd... Did I mention that he was holding onto the chandelier for his life?
"Please get me down"
"BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH!?" I laughed my insides out, holding my sides as I tried to calm myself. Oh my god, that is just... "HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
I clutched my stomach, kneeling down in front of a Grell as I wiped the years which have gathered at the corner of my eyes. "Oh my god... That's just... Wow"
Ignoring the angry glares which were created by my senior slave, I took out my S3 and took a snapshot of him too. "DON'T TAKE A PICTURE!" I chuckled darkly.
"But why? You look so BEA-U-TI-FUL, my darling~"
"ARGHHHHHH!"
"Yeah, yeah" I placed my phone back into my pocket. "I'll get to you AFTER I handle Grell, kk, baby cakes?" I shot him a wink before getting down to business with Grell. I kneeled next to him and took the rope off. Grell lifted his head and gazed at me in an admirable way. "What kindness..." I smiled brightly at the shinigami. "You're welcome, Grell! Now let's get these ribbons off!" He nodded, still giving me that gaze. Suddenly, a flash of pink attacked Ciel. Oh, yippee! It's Lizzy! I never liked her... Why? She's so nice and cute! I ship them! He's better off with Sebastian... Yeah, I guess that be true…
Oh MAMA, gimme some of that huggage... To pass off the time, I took out Grell's orange ribbons in secret -to avoid Lizzy hating me. When they were all gone, Grell thanked me and gave me a hug. Oh shit... Please don't tell me he's into me now.. No, he's gay remember? Oh, so girlfriend hug? Yup! I simply hugged him back. Huggage... oh thank gods! Huggage... Even though it's from a gay guy... OMG! Let's make him our GBF(Gay Best Friend) Genius! I then pulled away.
"Sorry Grell, but our GBF relationship will have to continue later on!" I gave him a pat on the head and faced the task at hand. "But first, I need to take care of a little girl who got her tutu stuck in a bush"
"Very funny. Now get me down"
I suddenly felt a pat on my shoulder. Looking up, I found Sebastian. "I shall help Mr. Usui, Miss Katie. Thank you for saving Young Grell from death"
I clicked my tongue. "Alright. Go crazy" Just as I was about to return to Ciel's side, Lizzy gave me a back hug which stopped me in my tracks. This girl is not lesbian. However, THREAT DETECTED! NEE NOH! NEE NOH!
"And who's this?" Lizzy asked as she squeezed the life out of me. For a kid, she's still... strong. I laughed sheepishly.
"Hiya, Lizzy! The name's Katie Walker and I'm-"."-a business partner from America" Ciel finished. Oh, I guess that's what I'll be for the time being. AWESOMENESS! I nodded in approval. "That's right!" I gave her a thumbs up. She giggled at my cheerful attitude.
"We're going to get along just fine!" She announced. Not really. She's so... annoying. No she's not! She's cute! Plus, we're far more annoying than her, and you know it! I scolded her in my mind. In the real world, I shot Lizzy a dazzling smile.
As soon as Yuusuke's feet reached the floor, Lizzy launched herself onto him with shiny eyes. "And who's this?"
Yuusuke was about to scream out for help when-
"-this is Yuusuke Usui. He's my butler from Japan and his job for today is to dress up and look beautiful for a photoshoot I am organizing." Ciel had this really amused smile on his lips which made my grin only widen a little more. "Would you like to help him look even more cuter than he already is?"
"OH YES!" Lizzie squealed out in joy, grabbing Yuusuke and dragging him off. "Now, let's get you ready for the ball AND the photoshoot!" She cheered, dragging him away from us. I shot him a look that said, 'Serves you right for not believing me!' Sebastian just grinned and Ciel; he wasn't even looking. He was focusing on yelling at her.
"Listen to me! Hey! No ball!" He shot me a look that said,'I will kill you in your sleep!'
I smirked. "Don't hold back, Lizzy!"
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
And thus, the door slammed shut, so did Yuusuke Usui's coffin. Okay, so she isn't as bad as I had pictured. Go Lizzie!
T
"My, my, Miss Katie! You have so many dresses! And yet, it doesn't look like you've worn any!" Lizzy pointed out. I nodded sheepishly.
"Yeah, well... Actually they belong to Ciel, so none of them are actually mine" I admitted with a snort. I don't think Lizzy was listening though since she was busy mumbling to herself as she pulled out dressed from my closet and threw them on me. Why would Ciel even need female clothing in the first place? I asked him earlier and he just shrugged before answering that in any case there was a lost girl who lost all her memories he would probably take her in for a few days then set her free. That sort of reminded me of a boy finding a pigeon who had a broken wing, then he treats the injury and keeps the bird safe. After a few days, it heals and the boy has no choice but to set him free. Was that what Ciel was planning on doing to a girl? If that's the truth then Ciel is never to be underestimated.
To think that I could escape Lizzie's wrath, well, apparently not. Right after she was done giving Yuusuke a 'makeover', she suddenly bolted into Ciel's study room and flung me right out. And thus, it was time for the tiring changing to begin.
After a while, I couldn't move because they were too heavy, that and they were already burying me. I highly doubt Lizzy could see me; and I was right. "Miss Katie? Where have you gone?" I pushed my hand out to reveal my hiding place. I gave her a little wave. "Oh my word! You're... you're... Ciel! Help!" Ok, I never expected her to run out and scream Ciel's name. Shit, this is gonna be embarrassing... You see why I hate her! It ain't her fault. She was just scared shitless!
After what it seemed like hours -actually it was 4 minutes- Lizzy came back with Ciel and Sebastian. How I knew; I could hear him scolding Lizzy after sighing. Then I heard him ordering Sebastian to pull me up. I felt him grab my hand to pull me out of the clothes pile. "Miss Katie! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bury you I just-" She attacked me with a bear hug. Huggage! "-Yo!" interrupted her crying. She stared at me in confusion; probably at the word I used.
"It's alright. It's not like I died or anything" I REALLY did not want to deal with a crying Lizzie. A cheerful Lizzie is WAY better than a crying Lizzie. "Now, now. Why don't we get ready for the um, ball?" Hey eyes then instantly lit up brightly and she smiled. "Yes!"
T
Everyone was gathered in the salon. Well, everyone but Katie, Lizzy and Yuusuke. Everyone waited in utter silence, if Katie were here, she would have yelled out the word,' Awkward!'. Ciel was dressed in the blue outfit Lizzy had picked for him. She had picked a ring for him too, but since he already had the Phantomhive ring, he chose to not wear it and leave the his ring on. By his side was Sebastian with his young master's cane.
Suddenly, Lizzy appeared dragging an invisible elbow. "Sorry for the delay, everyone! Miss Katie here didn't want to leave the room! I didn't really understand, I made her look so cute too! Right?" Everyone but Tanaka sweat dropped; she hadn't realized yet.
"Lizzy, where is Katie?" Ciel asked in a bored tone. Lizzy raised an eyebrow at her fiancee before turning to her right to find, no one there.
"Ehh!? She was right here!" Bard only wondered what had happened to Miss Katie that made HER -out of all people- scared to come out. He sighed in pity. Poor, Miss Katie.. The trio thought as they looked at each other.
"Aha! I found you!" Lizzy cheered when she spotted the girl behind a pillar upstairs. She was hiding. Lizzy pointed at her. "Why don't you come down and show everyone how cute you've become?" Ciel and Sebastian looked up to find hands clutching the pillar. Lizzy pouted. "Fine! Ignore me all you want, but we won't start the ball till you show yourself!" Ciel winced. That threat was meant for him. A late ball meant her stay here being longer. He was forced to order her to come down.
"Katie!" Ciel called out to her.
"No~! I look weird... No~!" She sounds like a child. Ciel rolled his eyes.
"Come along! We have no more time to waste!" He argued.
"I ain't coming down you good for nothing little twerp!"
Ciel's eye twitched, about to instruct Sebastian to grab her when another hand appeared right above Katie's.
T
Just as I was about to shout out another retort, I felt a hand touch mine as a another body slammed into mine from behind. I froze, completely stiff. A chin connected with the top of my head, and a content sigh was heard.
"Y-Yuusuke?"
"You know, I am REALLY angry at you…" His muffled words reached my ears. "So I'm going to get payback" I was suddenly spinned around and was now facing Yuusuke, who looked… kinda hot. I blushed at his dressing. Oh my god, he has that butler outfit that Sebastian always wears… I never realized how hot he would actually look. He took a step back. "Wow, she did a good job on you…"
I flinched, remembering that I was in a dress. I quickly turned around and hugged the pillar once more. "Shut up…" I muttered in Japanese. Alright, I was just SO freakin embarrassed right now. I liked my dress, I really did. It was just, well; I was always just shy when I wore dresses. It's probably because I felt so freakin naked when wearing a dress.
He chuckled huskily, bringing my face towards his again. "C'mon. Let's get this ball started. It can't start without you, Walker-hime-sama"
My blush intensified at the new nickname. OMG… Fangirling time! KYAAA!
Slowly, I let go of the pillar and allowed him to hook our arms together. I was only doing this for Lizzie and Ciel, no one else. Yup, definitely NOT for Yuusuke… I nervously fixed my posture and looked up to him again.
"Your height… is mutiny.." He chuckled once more. "I just pray that I grow as tall as you, Yuusuke"
He shot me an amused look. "You called me by my name, hime-sama…"
Damn this playboy!
"Shall we head downstairs, my lady?" He asked in a-trying-British accent.
I rolled my eyes. "Your plan to flirt with me backfired when you tried to do a British accent"
My escort, Yuusuke, escorted me gladly down the stairs. I don't know why, but for some reason; both Sebastian and Ciel were pretty surprised with our new look. Oh, crud.
T
Once she revealed herself, Ciel totally lost his cool by dropping his jaw to the floor. "I know I look weird. You don't have to rub it in" She mumbled as she and Yuusuke stepped down the stairs quietly. Katie was dressed in a blue and white dress that -coincidentally- matched Ciel's. The dress wasn't as frilly as Lizzy's, but it seemed prettier. Her lower arms were covered by the white gloves she wore. Her upper arms were exposed, including her neck and shoulders. Her dress would look strapless if not for the blue vest she wore on the white dress. From her waist to her knee was a frilly blue cloth that was cut. A white and blue ribbon was attached to her waist. Under the frilly blue cloth was a white skirt that reached her ankles. She wore a small top hat on her head that matched Ciel's as well. She also wore a pair of blue flats. Her hair was brushed neatly were pushed back. Due to the loss of her usual hairband, a few strands of hair swayed on her shoulders. Overall, she looked incredibly stunning.
Yuusuke looked dashing and neat as well. His hair was just as messy as before, though. He was dressed in a butler outfit, which consisted of black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest- just like Sebastian. He had the Phantomhive crest on his shirt cuffs and tie. Sebastian discovered that Yuusuke had probably taken this from his closet which consisted plenty of copies of his uniform.
The trio -including Grell- were awing at the duo's attractive auras.
T
When I noticed the blush on Ciel's cheeks, and the innocent smile on Sebastian's face, I just KNEW I looked weird. Damn you Yuusuke!When I stepped on the final step, I walked towards Ciel and decided to stand next to him. Yuusuke followed in , I whacked him on the head; causing him to flinch and glare at me. "You looked stupid with your mouth open. A fly might go into your mouth" I simply pointed out, avoiding his eye contact. I pulled my hands together and put them down at my skirt, looking down at the floor as I shifted nervously. "I know I look weird. So, please stop staring..." I pleaded miserably. Cha! Damn them! Show some pride, woman! You don't need to plead like that to them! Kyaa~... I feel so embarrassed.
I covered my hands on my face to hide my blushing. "Please stop... I feel so embarrassed..." Sebastian then chuckled, but due to the fact I was covering my face, I didn't really realize. Ciel took hold of my wrists. I blinked in confusion as he pulled them down to reveal my blushing face. I looked away from his face. Then, he whispered words that I never knew Ciel would be capable of saying; "You finally look like a Victorian woman" My blush deepened, and I felt my heartbeat accelerate.
What...
THUMP.
is this..
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
feeling?
THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.
He pulled away from my ear as my head turned to analyze his face; he was, blushing. Just like me. I wet my dry lips and noticed a curious-looking Lizzy. Shit...I cursed in my mind as I backed away from Ciel. Luckily, this went unnoticed by everyone in this room. "Aww! You two look so cute! I'm so proud of my work!" Lizzy cheered as Ciel and I approached her. I watched them carefully, ready to dive in and save the ring.
"Eh? Why aren't you wearing the ring I prepared for you?" Oh, great. The bitch noticed... Be nice!
I pulled Yuusuke close to whisper into his ear. "I need you to go outside please and wait outside that window." I pointed at the window which -I think- Ciel was going to use to dispose of his ring. "Ciel's going to throw his ring out that way. So, I'm gonna need you to catch it."
I pulled away from him and watched as his face turned into different expressions. "Are you serious? Who can do that? A ring?"
I nodded seriously. "This is an order, Yuusuke" MUAHHAHAHAH! I FINALLY SAID IT! I FINALLY SAID IT! ALRIGHT! I GOT ONE LESS ITEM ON MY BUTLER CHECKLIST! ALRIGHT!
Yuusuke nodded rather lazily. He unhooked our arms and left the room silently. Alright! Let's get this thing going on!
"But that one was perfect for this outfit! I went through a lot of trouble to get that ring!" Then she -faked- cried as she kneeled on the floor. "Oh, why wouldn't you wear the ring that I picked out especially for you!? You're so cruel!" Ciel sighed at her antics. "I just want everything to be perfect for our lovely..." Bla bla bla... Ciel then tried to explain.
"That's not it. Lizzy, this ring is-"
*Ka-ching*
Her eyes lit up animatedly and grabbed the ring from his thumb. "Fooled you! Ha! The ring's mine now!" Ciel's eyes widened. Lizzy was in a LOT of trouble now. She brought the ring to her eye and tried to make fun of Ciel. "This ring is far too big for you, but the one I bought will fit you perfectly just put it on and-". Ciel had enough.
"-Give it back!" Everyone was shocked to hear Ciel shout at her with such a harsh tone. Confusion and fear was written all over Lizzie's face.
I waited, and waited for the right moment where she would throw the ring. I only had one chance, and if I blew it, it's sayoonara to Mr. Ring.
"Give it back to me now" He held out his hand, waiting for her to give it back. As much as I loved Lizzy, I really didn't like spoiled kids, and Lizzy was acting like one. But she WAS stinkin rich. That didn't mean anything.
"But... Why are you so angry at me?" She put her hands by her side. "I just want to..." Ciel's expression hardened as Lizzie clenched fists and brought them to her chest as she backed away slowly. "What's wrong...? I just wanted to make everything look adorable... That's all. So... W-why are you so angry?" Ready... She pulled her hand up. Set... "I hate this ring!? Take it!"... Go! She threw the ring up in the air.
I launched myself at the ring -using my ninja techniques to be faster than a normal human. Then, I grabbed the ring with my right hand and fell to the floor. Thank god, it's safe. You did it, sister! Not yet... Aww... do we have to? I mean, Sebastian's gonna handle it anyw- I pushed her to the farthest part in my mind. "K-Katie?" Lizzie sputtered. I watched as Ciel's feet advanced forward. Ready... Step... Set... Step... Go! I jumped to my feet and stood in between Ciel and Lizzy.
SLAP!
Ciel panted like a crazy maniac who just ran 500 miles non-stop while Lizzie was giving me a back-hug as she cried and buried her face in my back. My cheek was stinging in pain since Ciel had slapped me instead of Lizzie. My arms were spread out in a defense position. I heard everyone gasp.
SWOOSH!
It was Sebastian who had suddenly appeared with Ciel's cane. "Young master, you forgot your walking stick that we went through so much trouble to get" He placed it in Ciel's hand since he was too busy panting; he was obviously furious. His cheeks were flushed in anger. Then, Sebastian let his arm go and approached me and Lizzy. Since Lizzie was clinging onto my for her life, I had to pat her arms softly for her to realize Sebastian's presence. She pulled away slightly, but I could still feel her hair tips brushing my back. Sebastian bowed and placed his palm on his heart. "Forgive my master, Lady Elizabeth. But the ring was something very important to him." He explained. "His precious heirloom passed down through the heads of the Phantomhive family. He's grown quite attached to it. It's truly one of a kind" Is it just me, or is there sad music playing in the background? Hello... Anime, remember? It's just you who realizes it. Oh... Cool! "Please try to understand why this upset him"
"I-It was that important?" Lizzy stuttered. OH... he guilt-tripped her... Seriously, dude? "And I almost destroyed it?" Then, Ciel approached me and grabbed the ring out of my hand. He walked looked down at it before walking towards the window. ''Ciel, please... I-" Lizzie tried to apologize but she instantly gasped when Ciel threw the ring out the window. Everyone else gasped in shock. (Other than me and Sebastian, of course)
Please… please catch it, Yuusuke.
"Ciel, wait! What are you doing!?" Lizzie cried out, looking out the window as she tried so desperately to look for it.
"It doesn't matter" His tone was cold and bitter. "It was nothing but an old ring after all." He walked towards me without looking at me. He then stopped in front of me. "Even without it, I'm still the head of the Phantomhives, and that won't change" His eye then flickered to mine. The coldness in his eyes then vanished, and concern was the only thing I could see through that sapphire eye. He narrowed his eyes at the hand print on my left cheek. "Sorry" He mouthed to me before turning to Lizzie again.
While they did all that romance stuff, Sebastian placed two hands on my waist and turned me around to face him. "Tsk, tsk" He tsked at the hand print on my cheek. "I shall tend to it later, Miss Katie" I shot him the smallest smile; if I moved my lips, my cheek would sting again. Then, he vanished from my sight and appeared at the stairs, playing the violin. Ahh, they must be dancing now... From the corner of my eye, I noticed Grell -in his white dress- scurry to the stairs. He started singing and stuff. I just tried to exit the dance floor. When I succeeded, I vanished from the room and scurried outside.
T
"Hey! Where are you?" I called out.
Suddenly, Yuusuke jumped out of the bushes. "There you are- whoa... what happened to you?" He blinked at my red cheek.
"Nothing much... Did you get it?" I brushed the topic off and got back to business. When he nodded, I gave him thumbs up.
"Here ya go!" He handed it to me. I opened my hands to reveal Ciel's ring, unscratched; it was still perfect. He grinned goofily. "I managed to catch it in time, you know. It was a REAL close call. You should give me a reward for doing my job!"
I shrugged.
"Congratulations. And for this great act of justice, I shall give you the title of the RING SAVER." He laughed lightly. "And you may have my first dance!"
Giving me another playful look, he bowed down to me. "I would be honored, my princess!"
"Shall we say it together?" I asked.
"Nah! You say it. I'm sure you're pretty happy now, right?"
"VERY WELL!" I nodded, before shooting my fist up in the air and shouting out, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" And…
("Ouch! That hurt! Ow... ow!" "Stop talking, you idiot! It only hurts because you opened that stupid mouth of yours!")

I entered the salon with a sigh of relief. Hopefully, no one noticed my disappearance. I made Yuusuke hide Ciel's ring somewhere in my room.
I was suddenly approached by Sebastian who had a pack of ice. Where did he get that? It's not like they have fridges yet, right? I eyed it like it was a UFO or something. "My apologies for my lateness, Miss Katie. Here is some ice to cool it down" I nodded quietly before reaching out for it. However, I never got the chance since Sebastian had pressed it against my cheek using his own hand. He pushed me against the wall, and pinned my hands on it with his other arm. I winced at the coldness of the ice. But his eyes.. there were something in his eyes. Lust? No. Hunger? No. Frustration? No! There's... concern... and a bit of lust.. I said that already!
"S-Sebastian..." I stuttered as his face got nearer to mine. Then his lips hovered over my forehead.
"Please do not be reckless again" My eyes widened. His voice.. Whoa, it was husky. It was manly. It was so-- concerned. His voice was filled with concern and worry. I... want to hear his voice again. Then, he pressed his lips on my forehead. They're so... soft. And wet! OMFG! His lips parted from my forehead. It felt… wrong. It felt so... right when... his lips were on my forehead. But now that they aren't there, it feels so very deadly wrong.
He shot me a dazzling smile. He then backed away before bowing low. "Would you care for a dance, my lady?" I gave him a small smile.
"Sorry but I promised Yuusuke my first dance." I told him quietly.
He smirked devilishly. "Well now, you can tell Mr. Usui that I forced you, Miss Katie" I held back a small laugh and nodded. My hand reached for his hand to let the ice pack go, but it was stiff. I looked back at Sebastian who now had a smirk on. "I shall hold this for you. If it gets too cold, do not hesitate to poke me. I know you are unable to talk without feeling pain by your cheek." I blushed. Even though there was a pack of ice pressed against my cheek, I could still feel the warmth of my blush. He guided my hand on his shoulder while the hand with the ice pack caressed my cheek gently. Once my hand was on his shoulder and the other one was on clutching on the ice-hand, (I shall call it that!) he placed his palm on my back and started leading the dance. I wasn't good at these kind of dances. I was only awesome in hip-hop. Not to brag! Not to brag!
As Sebastian and I danced, I noticed Ciel and Lizzy dancing. Lizzy looked happy, but Ciel... he looked... like... a pissed-off-Ciel. I raised an eyebrow at him. When suddenly, Sebastian buried his lips over my ear. "I'm going to step on your feet if you don't move, my lady" I blushed beet red, totally embarrassed for only realizing that when Sebastian told me.
"S-Sorry" I squeaked out, following his footsteps. Only then did I realize Grell playing a piano. Oh? I didn't know he could play... Ah, gay people never fail to surprise me. Who else is gay other than Grell? Remember Emma's cousin? Oh, yeah...
After that magical dance with Sebastian, my cheek started to feel better. So, what I did was; When Sebastian left to -I don't know where- I took the ice pack and threw it into a dustbin before yelling out -in my mind- 'UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU CAME FROM I SHALL NOT LET YOU OUT, MR. ICE!'. Yeah, that was what I did. Once again, we know we're weird. Then I entered the salon again only to be greeted by Yuusuke who asked me for a dance. Since he didn't have to hold my cheek, he wouldn't really have an excuse to caress my cheek so I said yes! He took my hand and headed over to the center of the salon. We started dancing, very slowly. "You betrayed me, I see"
I rolled my eyes. "Did not. Sebastian forced me"
He laughed. "Right. Now tell me, how'd you get that slap, Princess Walker" After explaining what had happened, his eyes cast downwards. He gave me a visible frown. "Wow, you got slapped?".
"Yup. But I'm fine" I smiled innocently at him. He sighed at my, openness.
"You're far too kind to people, Princess Walker" Suddenly, he leaned into my neck and nuzzled my temple softly. "I'm glad you're okay" I blinked in confusion before laughing at the concerned Yuusuke.

After the ball was over, Lizzy ended up falling asleep and Grell was in charge of bringing her back home. The servant trio didn't believe that Grell would be capable of actually bringing her home in one piece. So, they felt pretty bad. Man, it's only been episode 3. I'm just worried about the Jack the Ripper episode. Ciel and Sebastian had retired for the night. Yuusuke was probably in his own room, which I had no idea where it was.
It was around 10.00 pm, and I was at Ciel's door, knocking ever so hesitantly. "Come in" It sounded like he was still awake.
I opened the door and found Ciel sitting up on his bed without the eye-patch. I noticed his eyes widen by a fraction when he realized it was me. "Yo, I'm here to give you something" It was dark in the room, but I used my S3's Assistive Light. I sat next to Ciel on his bed and pulled out the ring from my pocket. His eyes widened.
"I thought I-". Before this, I had watched the episode in my room to prepare to say what Sebastian had said. You know, to make it right. I was pretty good at memorizing things, but I always got distracted. So now, I had to show my stuff. It's actually Sebastian's stuff... Whatever... "-I know the importance of this ring. And you had to put on that act for Lizzie." I started out, trying to remember it clearly. "If I couldn't do this much for my friend, well in what kind of friend would I be?" Dammit, replacing the words is harder than I thought! "But you should take care of this ring. It's precious. It has seen so much."
He looked away before adding a quiet, "That is true". He and I looked down at the purple ring in my palm. "It's always there. This ring has seen the death of many masters; my grandfather," I smiled as I comfortably leaned my head on his shoulder. "My father, and eventually the ring will witness my own death as well. It's heard the screams of the Phantomhive family for many generations. When I close my eyes," His hands reach up to his face to grab his locks. "I can hear the voices, echoing in my head. If I throw the ring away, I won't have to listen to them any longer. At least, that was what I believed." I smiled faintly. He looked down in embarrassment. "Ridiculous, yes."
I shook my head. "Actually, believe it or not; you and I are more alike than you think. You know that hair band thing I always wear?" He nodded; he had always seen it when I showed him episodes of Naruto Shippuden. I was always wearing it nor. I took it off and showed it to him. "Well, I got when I first came to the orphanage. They gave it to me since I loved Naruto so much. But then, something happened. So I threw it away in a lake. I never wanted to see it because I would always remember something awful that happened in my... um, orphanage. After that, I thought I would never see it again, and things would get better. But it didn't." I pulled my legs on the bed and hugged my knees. "I started having nightmares. It was the kids from my orphanage; they asked me why I threw it away. They kept coming, and coming. Until I really didn't want to sleep. I started taking pills to keep me awake. But-"
Ciel cut me off. "-It got worse" I nodded weakly.
"Yeah, I started having hallucinations, and they would walk towards me and hug me. I was so, scared. I couldn't take it anymore." Ciel then guessed what I did. "You searched for it, didn't you?" I nodded again. "When I found it, I was so relieved that I promised myself that I would never lose it again. So now, I don't get the nightmares as much as I did before. It just goes to show," I paused, clutching my forehead protector tightly. "Sometimes it's better to treasure the things you still have. Sometimes there will be the bad memories, but you know that there'll be good memories." I smiled before leaning slightly on his cheek to give him a peck. He blushed.
"Goodnight Ciel" I stood up and was heading to the door when Ciel held my wrist. I turned around.
Oh yeah, he told Sebastian to stay until he fell asleep. Aww... "Can you just sit here, till I sleep, that is?" I gave him a smile."You're so cute, Ciel" He blushed as I pulled a chair next to his bed. I comfortably took a seat and stared at Ciel. "Shall I read you a bedtime story as well, young Phantomhive?" He rolled his eyes.
I chuckled. "Sleep, young one…"
"Katie" He paused, not knowing how to say it. Say it man, say I'm awesome! Why would he say that all of a sudden? "Thank you" He whispered before shutting his eyes.
I smiled at Ciel's peaceful face. I think, I might've done a good thing. I closed my eyes and dozed off. Tonight, I'm gonna sleep here. Why you ask? Because- LAZINESS IS THE ONLY REAL EXCUSE IN THIS WORLD!

Sebastian chuckled lightly by his master's bedroom door. He had noticed Katie's presence in his room. He clutched the candle holder tighter till it was about to snap when he calmed himself. He grinned at the door. "Such an interesting girl..." Then, he walked away and disappeared in the darkness of the corridors. "I must prepare for tomorrow…"
