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.

Just when Ciel thought things were turning around for the better, Katie's fever worsened when her temperature rose up to 40 degrees Celsius. She kept complaining how hot it was, and that she couldn't open her eyes. The room had to be kept dark since Katie couldn't stand the brightness of the day, but since she sometimes complained about it being too dark as well; Ciel, Yuusuke and Sebastian took turns accompanying her to read her a story or something else which calmed her down. Madame Red came every 4 hours to give her the medicine, and also checked her temperature.
It was then at 6 pm, Madame Red ordered Mey Rin to get packs of ice to surround her with them. Her body temperature was 43 degrees Celsius. She was burning up. Ciel watched as Katie struggled with the cold. She kept wincing every now and then, saying how it was just too cold for her. Mey Rin changed her clothes every day, and bathed her as well. Bard and Finni were both devastated every time they visited her. The girl could hardly open her eyes, and she was as pale as a corpse.
Madame Red was confused how strong the fever was against Katie. To ease her curiosity, she asked Sebastian about the Dimension Travelers' well-being. However, the demon only said that he did not know if there were any real terms that included a Dimension Traveler being extremely weak. Madame Red was always stuck in the study with Ciel, discussing their theories why Katie was sick in the first place.
"Isn't it because of the rain?" Ciel asked again. "She had been in the rain for quite some time; it was cold too, that night when we stopped Grell. She wasn't wearing much clothing either…"
The lady in red sighed in her seat. She was sitting on a wooden chair in front of Ciel's study table. Yuusuke was pouring some hot tea -like he had been taught by Sebastian- by the side of Ciel's table. Ciel was seated in his usual black cushioned chair. Sebastian was in Katie's room, taking care of her as well as ensuring she didn't go hurting herself while they were busy.
Ciel was still a little shy from the kiss they had shared the other night, though. And he was still a little worried about him getting infected. Luckily, Sebastian had found him the next second and… 'Purified'... him with antibacterial soaps and such. He did NOT want to relive that purification again. Though, the thing which he had been a little disappointed in was that she had forgotten about the small peck like it happened years ago.
"I'm afraid not. I only wished it was that it was because of the rain, Ciel." She admitted. "But, I don't think that a little rain and cold would cause such a high fever. I think you'll need to call a professional for this."
Yuusuke looked at the woman, confused. "Aren't you a professional?"
Madame Red chuckled. "So sorry, but my expertise lies in surgery. I am not the kind of doctor you are looking for"
"You're right, we should call a doctor." Ciel nodded, agreeing. "We don't know what we're up against, but do you have any other theories, Madame?"
The lady shrugged. "I am afraid not. I've run every possible theory and checked whether she has the symptoms, but so far; nothing"
The trio sighed tiredly. It's been a week since she first caught the fever. What were they to do? Ciel clenched his teeth. "We need to think of something! We can't just sit here and do nothing, come along, Yuusuke"
The Japanese teen placed the teapot down. "Where are we going?"
He merely sighed. "It'd be better not to ask"
T
"Why are we here again, Ciel?" Yuusuke stiffly asked, glaring at the purple sign. Dammit, the boy knew he hated this place! Why did he bring HIM? He should've brought Sebastian, but not him!
"Sebastian claims that he does not know about the Dimension Travelers as well as the Grim Reapers, so we're here for answers" Ciel answered. "Trust me, I don't want to be here just as much as you do"
The duo sweat-dropped. Madame Red wasn't with them since she wanted to run a few tests on Katie. There they were, in the middle of London, standing in front of that despised shop of his. Yuusuke knocked once before opening the door, allowing Ciel to enter first.
"Undertaker, are you here?" He called out.
Automatically, the grey-haired grim reaper jumped out of the nearest coffin with wide grin. "Oh-ho! Good-afternoon, Earl! Do I have the pleasure of fitting you in one of me coffins?" Ciel blinked neutrally as Yuusuke backed away, keeping a distance away from Undertaker. Unfortunately, the man noticed his presence. "Oh, you're here too, 2nd butler" 2nd butler…? Yuusuke's eye twitched, bringing Undertaker a mischievous smirk. However, he took pity on the frightened teenager and left him alone. "Have you caught the grim reaper who's been with you?"
"Yes, and we had none of your help for that" Ciel huffed, crossing his hands together. "We're here because we have a few questions"
He cocked his head curiously. "Oh? But I haven't had many customers. I don't think you can find me any help this time, Earl"
Ciel shook his head. "No, not that. You know that Katie is a Dimension Traveler, right?"
He smirked. "Oh, you realized that she was a Dimension Traveler now? Did that grim reaper tell you?" Before Ciel could answer, he continued on. "What about her?"
"She is currently sick, but her fever's higher than necessary. Usually, people who go running around in the rain won't have such a high fever till 43 degrees celsius, now would they?" Ciel asked, taking a seat on a coffin after Undertaker told him to.
Yuusuke was still cautious, so he didn't bother asking him. "I see, that's very unfortunate."
"My question is; does being a Dimension Traveler affect her health?"
Undertaker grinned cheekily. "Is that what you'd like to know? Well, you know that my answers are never for free… Earl"
Ciel sighed. Damn it. He had forgotten. Without Sebastian here, what will he do? Wait… he sent a glance to Yuusuke as he hummed, thinking. Ciel should've at least told him that they were going to meet Undertaker. Then the teenager could have just grabbed one of Katie's iPads and find something funny in there. It was an easier job too…
KA-TING!
Yuusuke froze. Uh oh, that was never a good sound. The Japanese male glared as Ciel smirked back. He now knew the perfect way for Yuusuke to learn his lesson. He's going to get what he deserves after leaving his master alone at night when she's sick...
"Yuusuke, come here" Ciel ushered him to come forward. The teenage guy obliged and bent his knees slightly to allow Ciel to whisper into his ear. "I need you to..."
"OH HELL NO!"
T
Back at the Phantomhive manor, Sebastian was busy reading a book to Katie as she tried to fall asleep. However, she still seemed to be having trouble since she kept shivering wildly every now and then. She just couldn't stay still. Madame Red had just called a doctor whom was a friend to come over. He had dirty blonde hair and blue sapphire eyes. He was in his 30s but was around Sebastian's height. He had a few wrinkles, probably from stress, and was dressed in a lab coat with a stethoscope hung around his neck. A few pens were in his breast pocket and he was carrying a small black briefcase. The man placed the briefcase on the side table and opened it, revealing a few syringes and other medical appliances.
He smiled warmly at the young girl who weakly looked back at him. "Hello there, Young Girl" Sebastian had stepped aside to give space for the doctor. The curtains had been opened slightly to allow some light to pass through for the doctor to examine Katie. "My name is Doctor Thomas Brown and I am here to check on you, is that alright?" Katie nodded weakly.
"I'd shake your hand... But I don't want you...to... get my germs..." She mumbled weakly. The doctor could laugh. How kind of her to actually say that! Very considerate!
He shot a look at Madame Red who merely smiled. "That's alright. Maybe when you're better, we'll have a proper introduction." He said, pulling the stethoscope off his neck. "Katie dear, you'll have to sit up, sorry" Sebastian went by her side and aided her to sit upright. Thomas placed the stethoscope on her back, checking her breathing. Hmm… nothing wrong here. "Alright, you can lie down again" Sebastian placed her back down slowly, like she could break if he was too hard on her.
He put his stethoscope away. "I have a few questions, if you don't mind answering, firstly, do you know if you did anything that could cause you to have a fever?"
Sebastian bowed. "Excuse me, but may I answer this question to replace her? My lady would like to rest." Thomas nodded, not bothered. "A week and 2 days ago, my lady was exposed to cold rain at night and did not shower after. Also, she hadn't much clothing on her. She fell asleep for 2 days before waking up later with a cold. She then idiotically played in the heavy rain once more. She woke up a few hours after and realized that she had a fever. It's been a week since." The butler bowed once more, stepping off.
Thomas narrowed his eyes. "Sounds serious… well, let me just check her temperature, and…" His eyes went as wide as saucers. "Bloody hell! 46.6 degrees celsius?!"
Madame Red gaped. "What? But just minutes ago, she was 43 degrees celsius!"
Thomas kept the thermometer. "Angelina, I don't think this is just a normal fever! This girl should be at a hospital, not kept here. This is bloody serious"
She sighed, massaging her temples. "I know, but that's not possible. You see, she's 'special'." She quoted with her fingers. "The doctors there will probably be surprised and shocked after realizing it too…"
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
"I just… need you to try and figure out how she started getting sick in the first place. Just a little rain doesn't make sense!"
Thomas hummed quizzically. "Well, you've a point there. Perhaps... " He then gasped in realization. He quickly turned to Katie. "Katie, are you experiencing headaches typically behind the eyes?" Nods "muscle and joint pains?" Nods. "Has she any rashes?" Sebastian nodded. "Vomitting?" Sebastian's face turned green. "Oh my… then I'm afraid that this only leads to one explanation…"
Madame Red gulped, unsure if she's ready for the truth. "Is it bad?"
Thomas, unfortunately, nodded. "This can only lead to-"
"-MADAME RED!" The adults turned to the newcomer who was Yuusuke. The teenager panted wildly before running towards them. "We discovered what's wrong with Katie!"
Thomas had a question mark above his head. He was most upset since someone had just stolen his thunder. "Well, what is it, boy? Spit it out!"
"There are a few rumors going around which involve some Dimension Travelers who start feeling sick a few days before their birthday! It's because their body starts to change to get ready for the demon or angel to eat!" Yuusuke explained. "The sickness will only go away once a demon or angel claims or eats them!"
Sebastian clicked his tongue. "I see… so, the only way is to…" He smirked deviously as Yuusuke glared at him.
"Stop showing off! So what if you're stealing her virginity?!" Yuusuke yelled as Thomas deadpanned. He couldn't understand anything happening, at all.
Ciel then appeared by Yuusuke's side. He bonked him on the head. "Don't yell! She's trying to rest, idiot!" He scolded softly. "You're never caring enough about her after all!" He then turned to the grinning Sebastian who had a small blush spread across his cheeks. "And you, start acting serious! Don't make it such a big deal!"
Madame Red stiffly turned to Thomas as they ignored the three boys who continued to argue childishly. "What was your theory again?"
Thomas turned back. "Dengue Fever, but after what's happened…"
"Katie?"
They turned to find Katie sitting upright with her eyes wide as saucers.
SILENCE
"Ghosts like rice, werewolves like skittles and Sweaters like coffee… What's with bananas, so what if they're yellow... and tomatoes are nice? Red… likes blood… Kim Possible is impossibly possible… Chocolate strawberry… Eyebrows… Squidward… Palm leaves… moustache… white... flash… purple… laugh laugh laugh… pokemon… pee… moons… full moons… Monday sucks… Fridays are awesome… Voldemort ain't awesome… Orochimaru is best… Boats… Minecrafters aren't bad… Pewds… Pies… Dies… Upside-down circle… naked… shirtless… hotness be awesome… Demonless chocolate… whiteboard… microphone… light bulb… Natsu's buttfire… nude iciness Gray… cockroach on your hand… call Taylor Swift, and you can Shake it off, shake it off, SH-Sh-Sh-Shake it off…"
SILENCE
"No… there's nothing wrong with her at all…" They all deadpanned after realizing that their Katie was alright after all. After that random talk, Katie's temperature instantly dropped to 36 degrees Celsius, reassuring everyone. Thomas was confused, Yuusuke was sad because he risked his pride for nothing, Sebastian pretended to be fine with the fact that he couldn't bang Katie, Madame Red was neutral and Ciel… well… he was both furious and glad that Katie was born… random.
And they all lived happily ever after…
THE END
We're kidding...

"Good to see you back on your feet, Miss Katie" Sebastian smiled, making my bed as I took a seat on my couch instead. I stretched lazily and glanced at the time. Ah, 9:30 a.m… Not bad, not bad. "Although you were merely sleeping and resting, the manor has been quite chaotic. The Young Master was very worried."
I smiled slightly. Daww… it's NOT like Ciel to worry… Not like him at all! "Well… that's awesome to know…" Sebastian finished off with my bed and walked over to me. "How about you, did you worry?"
He smirked. "Of course. How wouldn't one worry?" I smell sarcasm… "For now, please proceed to the bathroom for a morning bathe. If you do not want my aid, you may do so yourself. Your clothes for today are in the closet. Is there anything else you need, milady?"
I narrowed my eyes, thinking. KATIE! You need kunais! More kunais! Where's he gonna get kunais? He's a DEMON butler, I'm sure he can find out! Alright, how many am I gonna need? Hm… a 100 000! Seriously? 90 000! LOWER… 50 000? LOWER FINE! 25 000 kunais! OH FOR GOD'S sake!
"Sebastian, I need you to order 100 kunais, from Japan. It's necessary for me to use them to… beat up baddies!" I told him. Sebastian nodded before bowing and disappearing into the night like The Dark Knight, BATMAN! For your information, it's daytime, Idiot!
Oh, it is? OH-HO-HO!
T
I entered Ciel's study room with a wide grin. "I'M BACK, BABY! BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!" I laughed out in triumph as I headed towards the Phantomhive in his usual seat at his table. Yuusuke was rolling his eyes at me as he poured some tea- have you realized that what all the butlers keep doing is pour tea?! You're right... how suspicious...

A/N)
"So, how are my two favorite boys in the whole universe doing?" I asked, cheekily grinning, as I propped both elbows on the table and let my knees fall to the carpeted floor.
"Odd," Ciel smirked and grabbed the sup of tea from Yuusuke. "I thought Sebastian would be your favorite"
I merely returned the gesture. "He is my favorite demon, Ciel." I smartly answered, making Ciel shrug, nodding at my answer which made sense.
"What about Undertaker?"
"My favorite Grim Reaper"
"William T. Spears?"
"My favorite spectacled Grim Reaper" I smugly I stared at Ciel who was nervously looking back at me with a small blush. "Admit defeat yet, Lord Phantomhive?" He averted his eyes and took another sip of his tea. I raised an eyebrow before shooting a suspicious glare at Yuusuke. "You didn't do anything like kiss the poor kid while I was sick, did ya?"
Yuusuke almost let go of the tea pot, but quickly composed himself. He placed it on the tray and glared at Katie as a response to her ridiculous question. "You DO realize that I am not gay, right?"
I gave him a Cheshire-cat grin. "I thought you didn't care as long as they were cute..." A vein mark appeared at Yuusuke's forehead, but he ignored me and chose to excuse himself from the room. Just as he left, Sebastian entered with an impressed smile. "Heyyo, Sebby-kun!"
"Excellent" Ciel sipped on his tea. "Sebastian, grab that fool and bring him back in here, will you?" The butler nodded before disappearing and reappearing with Yuusuke in a split second. Huh, I guess he's planning on saying something... Yuusuke pushed Sebastian's arm –annoyed- away from him so that he could stand properly without the demon's support. "Now that I have all of you gathered here in my study; I have a very important announcement" My eyes sparkled in anticipation. "We shall be going for a trip."
Yuusuke's eyebrows knitted in curiosity. "Huh? Where are we going?"
"A trip, Young Master?" Sebastian echoed. "In this season?" A vein mark appeared by his forehead once more. He's probably pissed with the fact that nobody answered his question. He should really just chill since I'm going to allow him to use my iPad to watch the 2 episodes which involve this next thing! We're actually moving pretty slowly, which is saddening... I want to meet Drocell for crying out loud! Drocell's awesome! Drocell! He's a puppet... You're a figment of my i~ma~gi~na~tion~! Darth Vader pouted before sulking in the corner of my mind, growing mushrooms.
Ciel nodded. "Do you three know of a pastime called 'bear baiting'?"
"Urm... I've read a few history books and it was said that Bear Baiting is something like the cruelty of bears, right? They chain the bear's neck and whip them. I think there are a few wild dogs involved too... and then the bear's tortured by the dogs like beaten up and such, before they die" Yuusuke answered unsurely. I gave him a thumbs up. EXCELLENT JOB, my butler!
Ciel nodded in approval and approved that he was indeed correct. "The bears are tied up, whipped, and have packs of wild dogs set upon them until, finally, they are killed." Sebastian grinned as he stood straighter. "That is so incredibly like humans" He commented. Yuusuke scowled at him before muttering something that sounded like, 'Bloody racist...'. Ah, but he isn't racist, my dear Yuusuke-senpai, he's bloody speciesist! Is that even a real word? Who knows!
"It was banned under the Cruelty to Animals Act of 1835. However, a loophole remained. If the bullying dogs were not goaded, what would happen?" Ciel asked, expecting Sebastian to answer.
Sebastian lifted his hand and cupped his chin to think. "It would become a case of one animal baiting another; animal bullying so to speak."
"There is a village where they do that." Ooh, here it comes! "Houndsworth. It's famous for raising hunting dogs. However, beneath that it has another side." He muttered ever so darkly. DARK KNIGHT MOMENT DETECTED! "This wrenches at Her Majesty's heart, therefore we are to investigate this village under the pretext of making the resort. That is the true goal of this trip."
"A village of dogs, huh?" Ciel raised his head to look at Sebastian's disgusted expression. Ciel raised an eyebrow.
"Is there a problem?"
I grinned as I gave Ciel a rape-face, not letting Sebastian explain. "Funny you ask... do you know that your dear and beloved demon butler despises dogs? He's a cat person, he loves cats, he likes cats... CATS FOREVER!" I shouted out in glee, causing Ciel to flinch. "would be written on his T-shirt if he ever wore one..." I whispered creepily into his ear before backing up... still happy.
Sebastian shook his head before hiding his disgusted expression. "It was just that I had believed securing a resort location was somewhat beneath you, Young Master." EXCUSES!
Ciel sighed. "There is a reason." Sebastian flinched slightly. "why I, Ciel Phantomhive, must be the one to go to this Houndsworth Village." He stated.
"YEAH! We're going to get a dog! His name's Pluto, and I'mma screw 'im! ME WANT PLUTO! ME WANT PLUTO! ME WANT PLUTO! ME WANT PLUTO! ME WANT PLU-PLU! ME WANT-"
Yuusuke managed to shut me up by chucking a chocolate bar into my mouth. Ciel sent him a grateful look before looking back at Sebastian, sending him a look that said, 'Do you understand now?'. Sebastian sighed before nodding in understanding. When Katie had something to do with it, they had to go along since she knew what was best. Oh-hoh-hoh… I'm treated like genius in this world! "Shall we bring Miss Katie and Mr. Usui along as well?" Ciel nodded.
"Of course, these two are part of the team, are they not?" He smirked slightly making me clap happily. Just as I was about to jump up and shout out, 'CIEL THOU BE AWESOME', "Just don't make too much of a ruckus and you'll be fine" I scowled at him before pouting. Such a party pooper...
"Yes, my lord."
T
And thus… the next morning, we were all gathered outside the manor, ready to depart from the manor. Finni, Mey Rin, Bard and Tanaka were also tagging along since Ciel feared that the manor might be in shambles when they get back. It was going to be a long journey after all. Houndsworth was far, and I was excited! It's a good thing I've already healed! If not, I would probably sleep through the whole journey… Keke! (A/N: Anybody remember what happened in the original story? For those who don't know; Katie was still sick during the trip to Houndsworth, and slept through the whole thing! She missed all the adventure, but managed to meet Pluto in the end! But none of that now! Katie shall rise once more! Now, on with the story!)
Fortunately, Yuusuke was the one who packed my stuff. I didn't like packing, since I seriously just sucked at it. I always left something behind, either that or I accidentally brought too many things… man, that'd be annoying! Usually when I did that, Mist would just laugh at me and say, "That's okay, Kat! It just goes to show that you can never really move away from home, can you?" Ahh… I miss that guy… His hugs are the best! He is always so warm and huggable!
However, knowing Yuusuke was the one who packed my stuff made me a little thankful. You know, I don't think I've ever thanked him for everything! Like forcing him to become your butler? Yeah. And bringing him to a different world against his will and separating him from his real family back in Hidakagawa ? Y-Yeah… And always kicking him in the balls and stomach? Urm… Or the times where he always has to put up with you? *no words* And yet, he can STILL stand by you and smile as he follows you around and stays as your friend?
OH MY GOD! I NEED TO FIND YUUSUKE AND BEG FOR FORGIVENESS AND THANK HIM! THAT'S RIGHT! WHAT SHOULD I DO? THROW HIM A CHOCOLATE PARTY! NAH, HE DOESN'T LIKE CHOCOLATE… A POOL PARTY! WHERE ARE WE GONNA GET A POOL? Darth Vader grins eerily at me. Girl… where we be goin'? Houndsworth? And Houndsworth has..? A LAKE! OR A RIVER! OR SOMETHING! WHATEVER, MAIN POINT IS; WE'RE GONNA SWIM! WE SHOULD CELEBRATE FOR HIM, GIRL! YOU BE RIGHT, WOMAN! I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK!
Darth Vader blushes with her palms on each side of her face. For some reason, she reminds me of Nova… (A/N: UberHaxorNova is a youtuber… You guys should watch his Animated Classics! One of my favorites: NOVA BLOCK THEATER) Why thank you… She gave me another Nova face making me back up, creeped out. Don't copy Nova, damn it! Am not! I BE ORIGINAL!
As Darth Vader continued to give me a hard time in my mind, I simply ignored her to focus in the anime world I ever so loved. I then realized my surroundings; Mey Rin was busy fixing Finni's hair, Bard was busy moving the luggage and such into the carriage while old Tanaka was seated at the carriage driver seat, looking as happy as always. Sebastian and Ciel were still nowhere to be found, so I'm guessing they were still in the manor handling some 'guy' stuff.
I was seated in the 2nd carriage, alone. I eyed the trio in envy. They looked so… happy. It was like they were enjoying each other's' company. Man, not fair… not fair at all… I hopped out of the carriage, onto my feet, and made into a slow jog towards them. Mey Rin and Finni turned to me with a small smile playing on their lips. "Hello, Miss Katie! Do you need something?" Mey Rin asked.
That reminds me; I've never actually talked to these three, have I? "Nope, just some company. I was getting awfully lonely up there in the carriage…So I wanted to see if I could help out with anything"
Finni looked surprised. "But, you're a guest. You shouldn't be doing work" Oh my gawds, he is so cute! I know that Finnian's one of the cute characters in the anime, and that he was really cute, but I didn't expect him to be THIS cute up close. I'm so tempted to pinch his cheek, hard. However, the urge died down after I remembered the time when Lizzie had pinched mine… which was unbearably painful. Don't be fooled! She's a strong one!
"My dear Finnian, it does matter not if someone is a guest or not. One should always help when necessary." I finished off with my pazazz, or something! We don't know how to spell it! "I'm just one of those peeps. Plus, I need to pass off my time doing something, right? So, what can I do, boss?"
I guess they've never been called boss before; explaining their stunned faces. Mey Rin blinked a few times before gesturing to the troubled Bard who looked to be having difficulty in carrying out his TASKS! Holy shits, you sound… proper. You're right, I'm gonna drop it right now! I saluted to the duo in gratitude before dashing off to the blonde chef with open arms. "Need a hand, my fellow American?"
He almost dropped the bag he was holding when I suddenly appeared in front of him. "Oh, Miss Katie. That's alright, I can handle it." He steadied the bag in his hands before pushing it into the carriage. The bag fell onto the wooden platform with a thud before he turned to me with a grin. "Thanks for offering, though!"
I frowned in distaste and dropped my hands to my sides. "Are there anymore left? I'm pretty bored right now, and I want to do something that actually benefits both others and myself. By doing this, I can sort of work out and at the same time save time by getting the stuff into the trunk faster. After that, you can go hang with the duo back there faster, right?"
Bard shrugged coolly. "Well, there are still a few more over there, but they're pretty heavy, you know?"
I smirked. Was he mocking me? "No need to fret, my friend. For, I, Katie Walker, shall display my awesomeness just for you three!" I pointed at the other two. "You two, watch closely and prepare to be amazed!" And thus, they were told to stand close by but far away from the carriage. Tanaka wasn't told to do anything, so he stayed in his current position. I cracked my knuckles confidently. There were 8 bags left, and they weren't too heavy, but nobody could carry them at the same time; nobody unless they were a ninja, that is. I pushed them together and grabbed a rope -don't ask where I got it from, THIS IS AN ANIME- and tied them together. I rubbed both my palms together, excited. "You guys ready?" I glanced at them. They cheered wildly for me, giving me more strength. Alright! Let's do this! I effortlessly tug onto the rope with a single pinky and carry the bag with no difficulty. As I turned to them, I spun it around a few times, making them gape at me.
"H-how is that possible?" Finni awed.
"S-Spooky!" Mey Rin merrily whispered.
"NOT ANOTHER INHUMANE ONE!" Bard screeched with his eye twitching madly. I'm guessing he's referring to Sebastian as the first.
I then flung the bags, sending them flying into the air. It landed in the back of the carriage. However, the weight and force causes the load -Tanaka or the front- to be go upwards… sending Old Tanaka flying. "TANAKA!" Mey Rin screamed in fright. I remained calm and held up both my arms forward. In a flash, Tanaka fell into my arms and said his usual, "HOH-HOH-HOH"
I then curtsied like how Sebastian always did. "Thank you very much. We hope you have enjoyed witnessing the Pure Awesomeness of Katie Walker"
SILENCE
"WHAT. ARE. YOU?!"
Did you hear that? I did! Hooray! I amazed them with my awesomeness! I jumped around in my mind to rejoice. It feels good to impress someone. I remembered the last time I impressed someone back in Hidakagawa, and it involved Minami and a few baddies. Minami and I had just finished watching a movie nearby. We took the shorter route since it was already dark, but it involved going through the dark alleys. Minami, as usual, was a scaredy cat. I assured her that I could protect her with my martial arts awesomeness. As we exited the last of the dark alleys we had to go through to reach our neighbourhood in a small amount of time, a group of gangsters appeared.
They had been from our school, but they were the same age as Minami, though. Minami was pretty popular in our school since she was pretty. One of them tried to place the moves on her and steal MY WOMAN! You're copying Nova… SHUT UP! YOU DID IT FIRST! Anyways, I was pretty pissed with the way they were acting with Minami so I punch them each in the balls. Then I took out a metal fork from Minami's bag which I had suspiciously found earlier. As they lay on the cold tarred road, groaning as they clutched onto their balls… I laughed sadistically into the night. Minami had been more frightened of me though.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE DID WITH THE FORK…
After that fateful day, every time I catch a glimpse of those gangsters, they're already gone the next second. Yup, that was life for me. Mess with Minami or Emma, you'll get Walker's wrath.
I placed the lovely butler named Tanaka down, back onto his feet. I dusted his clothing for him as he continued his usual phrase. Once I was done, he bowed in gratitude before marching back up to the carriage. Bard was the one who attacked me first. "How did you do that? Don't tell me you're from the same planet as that cold-blooded butler of ours!"
I wondered if I should tease him a little by saying, 'Old Tanaka ain't cold-blooded!' just to anger him. I chuckled inwardly. Maybe not. "Naww, I was born as an American in Japan, silly-willy! Didn't that fool of a butler of mine tell you?" He shook his head, saying how he hardly ever talked about me to them. My eye twitched in annoyance. I… see…? Well, at least I know he ain't telling them anything bad about me. "How I did that is with the power you guys know as Awesomeness" Bard sent me a look that said, 'Seriously?'. "Hey, if you don't wanna believe it; it's your loss buddy!"
"Miss Katie! Where did you learn such an amazing thing?" Mey Rin popped another question.
"No, no, Mey-Rin!" Finni corrected. "What she learnt was awesomeness which is most probably something awesome!"
I smiled, showing my teeth. "Good job, good job, Finnian" I patted his back gently. "As for where I learnt it, a magical black box spoke to me with such passionate words which made me the person who I am now" Black box? "Why, yes a MAGICAL black box… who had colors all over and spoke to me ever so gently, but sometimes shouted at me as well which made me go deaf…"
They were a little lost now, but I don't blame them. It's only to be expected, their reaction. Geez, I wonder where Ciel and those two are… seriously… I looked back at the trio who were busy trying to decipher my so-called code. "Urm… I'm going to go and hit the hay. I'll be sleeping in the carriage as we wait. Goodbye people" Walking off, I jump onto the soft seats and positioned myself in a comfortable spot. Once I was satisfied, I fell asleep instantly, not caring if the trio were still bickering like old ladies.

"Anata wa mada me o samashite ir?" Someone asked me in a low and hushed ton. Who was this person? He was male, for sure. My eyes had already been opened, but I saw nothing but a single light bulb flickering on and off. Under the light illuminated a single wooden table. There were no chairs, or was I expecting one. The floor was tiled and old. There were scratch marks everywhere and the wall was not visible. The rest was darkness other than the table and the little part of the floor which the light shone on.
The words were translated automatically, making me understand it; 'Are you awake yet?' He was asking me if I was awake. I tried to nod or even move, but it was useless. Something was controlling me not to. I didn't know what it was, or if it was the male who was speaking to me, but I didn't like it. I struggled to move even the tiniest flinch, but my efforts weren't worth it.
"Seishintekini, anata wa, butsuri-teki ni,desuga, anata wa sōde wa arimasen" Which meant; 'You are, physically, but you aren't, mentally.' Did he give me some kind of drug that made me unable to move? Suddenly, I noticed a small shadow which looked like a head move past the table by my feet. I was on the floor, sitting against a wall, I think. "Sore wa mirikiteki ni chigainai" 'It must be nice,' he says. "Aisa kanjiru" 'To feel loved,' he continued.
What was he talking about? "Chichi wa sugu ni, soreha jikan ga kakarudarou to itte iru" 'Father says that soon, it will be time,' he says. I was confused; time for what? "Watashi wa kare ni hantai suruga, kare wa junbi ga deki yoridearu koto o shuchō shite iru." Which meant; 'Although I disagree with him he claims that you are more than ready.'
Who are you? I wanted to shout out and ask him, but I just couldn't. These damned lips wouldn't move. "Watashi wa ototo desu" I don't have a brother. He's lying! "Ile, watashi wa ototo desu" He could hear my question, and no matter what he continues to claim that he was my brother. "Anata wa Katie Walker, watashi nikun imotodesu". Translation; 'You are Katie Walker, my hated sister' Hated?
I glared at the air, pissed. Why, you! "Watashi wa anata ni watashi no gakusei no uchi 3ttsu o sōfu shinakereba naranai, to anata wa kachigāru chichioya no jikan ga aru baai wa watashi ga mirudearou" 'I shall send you three of my students, and I shall see if you are worth father's time'
Suddenly, a large shadow appeared as the stranger lurked out. I glared at the said man. It was odd; he looked vaguely familiar. He had light blue hair which almost looked like white if not for the light above his head. Both his eyes were covered by his messy tousled hair. He was dressed in a black leather jacket with a white plain T-shirt under. Overall, he looked just like my…
"Will you wake up and realize who I am already, you idiot?" Smiling sadistically, I realized who he was. He was my—
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I woke up startled as I screamed out, startling more people. I opened my eyes to find myself in a carriage with Ciel who was looking very confused at my sudden outburst. I looked behind me and saw Finni, Mey Rin and Bard with the same expressions. I chuckled sheepishly and stretched my arms and legs. "Sorry, bad dream." Ciel's eyebrow knitted in suspicion before settling down to a sigh.
"You and your nightmares will be the death of me." He muttered. "Is there something wrong?" I shook my head a bit too cautiously before leaning into the carriage seat. I was seated in the middle of Ciel and Yuusuke, which was kind of odd. Tilting my head, I leaned it onto Yuusuke's shoulder instead. He didn't seem to mind, so I continued further to comfort myself. That dream… that stupid dream. That was my… my—"Katie?" I looked up at the worrying Ciel. "What was it about?" I shook my head.
"Nothing. It was nothing…"
I then took the liberty of looking around at my surroundings. We were… in an empty area that had lots of dead trees? How very… unfamiliar. I looked up and finally realized Sebastian who was at the driver's seat, holding the reins. Behind us was the other carriage that Tanaka drove. Pluto here I come! MUAHAHHAHAHAH! Oh my god, I can't wait! I awed in understanding.My stomach suddenly growled. Sebastian smiled. "Hungry, Miss Katie?" I smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry" I excused myself as I tried to quiet down my empty stomach. Ciel sighed again.
"I told you; next time you should listen to me and just eat something, alright?" Ciel scolded. I grinned broadly, nodding slowly. "Later on when we arrive, make sure Katie eats some food, Sebastian" He ordered, and Sebastian replied to it with his normal 'Yes, my lord'. So, we were finally at the 7th episode. Yuusuke told me that he had packed all 3 of my iPads including my phone and had put it in my bag. He even packed my clothes and stuff- which made my grin widen. I knew I could trust him!
"Thanks, Yuusuke!" I pecked him on the cheek before leaning my head on his shoulder once more. The latter scowled at me with a small blush and continued to try and ignore me. Ciel placed a hand on my shoulder and clutched it tightly, making me confused. I looked back at him. "Something wrong, Ciel me boy?" He hesitated at first, but he shook his head and allowed me to return to Yuusuke's shoulder. We finally arrived the entrance of Houndsworth and the servant trio -including Yuusuke too, I guess- were pretty disappointed and spooked out when they saw their unique taste in decoration.
"I forgot to mention it; but this is the planned construction site for the resort." Ciel stated uncaringly. The trio cried anime tears. Oh yeah! I forgot that I actually need to tell Yuusuke about this episode! Huh, I forgot… You also need to thank him… with that party. OH YEAH!
"Young Master…" They mumbled sadly as Tanaka did his normal quote; "Hoh, hoh!"
TING!
I'm guessing that was background effect, haha. If I'm not mistaken, Yuusuke should also be able to hear it. I adjusted my head so that I could whisper into his ear. "Did you hear it?" Nodding, he smirked slightly. After a few more minutes, we entered a foggy area. It was then when I noticed the old lady with the baby carriage. My eye twitched nervously. Oh, boy… This ain't gonna be pretty. I have this sort of trauma when I see a skeleton or bones. So, I just go into that frozen state and just freak out by screaming, or something. I ignored the part of my mind that ushered me to take a small peek just to try and act brave. Right now I think that avoiding it would be best. I buried my face in Ciel's arm instead of Yuusuke's since he was seated at the side which the old lady would appear.
"Are you alright, Katie?" Asked a concerned Ciel. I nodded assuringly and made no move to move away.
"Just dizzy" I lied as I leaned closer into him. I hope I'm not squashing him...
"Ooh! First villager spotted!" I heard Finni announce. "Tanaka, stop the carriage!" I heard their carriage halt to a stop while our kept moving forward. I heard someone hop off the carriage. "Let me help you, granny"
"Don't, Finni! You'll probably kill the poor kid!" I heard Yuusuke cry out and I heard something fall to the ground, and I also heard Finni apologize. "SHIT! Is he alright?"
And then…
SILENCE
"There is no baby. There is no baby anymore. The child was eaten…" The old woman calmly said before I heard her walk away with the baby carriage.
"Ea…. Ten?" I heard the trio say. I removed myself from Ciel to gaze at the minimizing back of the old woman. She started singing that weird song that made my skin tingle.
Ciel chose that time to interrupt. "That's why we're here; apparently there are some villagers who were violently murdered or went missing. The village's number has decreased a third of its size in the last 10 years." He explained as Sebastian looked over to him. "A part of my task is to find out why and put an end to the problem"
Yuusuke shot me an incredulous look. "And you kept quiet, why?" I uneasily smiled, looking back down. "Hey, what's wrong?" Damn it, he realized. Before I could deny any of his accusations, he smiled mischievously. "Hey! You were scared, weren't you?"
I froze. CHAA! THE BASTARD REALIZED! "W-What? Come on, man… quit making jokes"
Ciel raised a brow, as if he couldn't believe that I, Katie Walker, actually had a weakness. Yuusuke was still in a teasing mood though. "Oh my god, you are, aren't you?" I chewed on my bottom lip. "Yeah, you are… wow, to think that the Great and Awesome Katie Walker actually had a flipping fear for bones! Are you scared of the chicken bones you find after eating?" He barked out a laugh. I averted my eyes.
"You don't need to make such a big deal out of it..." I mumbled softly. However, it seemed he didn't hear me. He continued to laugh out loud like I had told him the funniest joke ever. Alright; he's being a real jerk now.
"Katie! Look, it's a scary bone, right there!" He mockingly pointed at the side. He peeked at my expression with a broad grin. "What you gonna do? Cry?" I'm so tempted punch him. "You gonna cry now, you big baby?" My fists clenched. I was damn pissed with him, and I wanted to kick his ass. So very badly. "Crybaby~"
That's it! I stood up abruptly, surprising him. "Sebastian, stop the carriage" The butler obeyed and pulled the reins around the horses. The vehicle slowed down till it was no longer moving. We were close by now, and I could see the town through the thick mist, though it was still far. I hopped out and landed on my feet. Ciel raised a brow, perplexed.
"Where are you going?" He asked. He must be confused with my choice of actions. He must have expected me to kill Yuusuke there and now. But I decided against it. I just needed some time to clear my head.
"I'm a Walker. I'm just going to do what Walkers do" I answered neutrally and walked forward, leaving them behind. "I'm gonna walk"
Ciel sighed and massaged his temples. The Phantomhive had no choice but to play along as well. "Very well, then Sebastian shall keep you company" Wait, what? The butler nodded and followed my example, falling into step. "Yuusuke, take the reins" Yuusuke replaced Sebastian silently. I was going to throw him a party, too... Sebastian easily fell into my pace and was now walking by my side. The two carriages followed us as we kept a distance from the others. Sebastian kept glancing at my expression for some reason. But I just ignored it.
"Does it bother you?" I asked him. The others weren't able to hear us since we had such a distance between us. Sebastian seemed to misunderstand my question. "My weakness for bones, that is. Yuusuke seemed to not believe that I could have such a pathetic flaw. Is it really that surprising?"
Sebastian closed his eyes for a moment before he smirked, amused. "How amusing, are you upset with his reaction, Miss Katie? It was truly a shock when we discovered that flaw which I have been awaiting to see. Though, it makes me wonder… will you squirm when you see one?" He darkly laughed aloud at me. "Or perhaps pathetically cry, just like Yuusuke mentioned?" He was messing with me, it was obvious. "Will you squirm when the day comes where you shall see nothing but blood and bones, Miss Katie?"
I remained silent as my steps became more monotonous than my expression. Each step grew weaker as I stayed strong, putting a concrete wall up. I couldn't let him get to me. Sebastian was a demon, not a warm-blooded demon. He wasn't sincerely kind; no, he was never kind. Not unless he had no choice, or if he had something to benefit for. I was a little upset, though, since I had always thought that maybe sometimes, if he'd ever meet me; he'd be kind. But he wasn't. That was the cruel thing. "Perhaps" I answered with a short and simple reply. "I wouldn't know. Perhaps I would squirm when the day comes, perhaps I shall scream and maybe even go crazy. Even crazier than the way I already am…"
Sebastian looked impressed. "Oh?" He averted his eyes back forward and widened his smirk. "I do not think anyone can imagine you becoming any crazier, Miss Katie" Looking like he was about to laugh, he turned back to me, this time with a real smile. "I do not mind"
What? I eyed him curiously. "What do you mean; 'you do not mind'?"
"That is my answer, it does not bother me. Your fear for bones and blood, that is." Sebastian replied neutrally. "All humans have flaws; including Dimension Travelers. It does not matter if they are small, or large, they are all the same. I have seen many weaknesses, and most of them were pathetic. For example; the fear for insects such as cockroaches." I didn't like their company either, but I don't really fear them. "or perhaps the fear for germs" Well… that was stupid. "However, it is just what makes you human, correct?" Well, that was something I would never expect to hear from Sebastian, the demon. "The more tainted you are, the more human you are. Humans are not perfect. As are Dimension Travelers. You prefer being human, do you not?" I shrugged and nodded hesitantly. Being a Dimension Traveler is awesome and all, but… being human, that's what I want to remain as. "Humans… are not perfect. However, if you have flaws, you have colors. And when you have colors; you have beauty." B-Beauty? My cheeks tinted pink bashfully. "Black, blue, red, magenta and such… different colors every time…" He looked down at me with a smile playing on his lips. "Will it not be boring if it's just the same color every time?"
Patting my head gently, he continued. "You, my dear Dimension Traveler, are the most colorful human I have ever met" W-wow… I have no words… Sebastian just, sincerely complimented me…? "Though, it was mostly caused by your uniqueness and psychotic mind" I pouted. Well, at least he said I'm colorful, right? "Making you the most extravagant human I have ever laid my eyes on" The only way I could see that he was telling the truth, was because I didn't know if he even was telling me the truth. In his eyes were… nothing. No lies, no doubt, not even a speck of hunger. I had been thinking that he was merely talking about my taste. I was food to him. Nothing more. Just mere food. But right now, he was just telling me the truth. Not to comfort me, not to get me to feel better, not even to get me to smile; he was doing this because he wanted it out. Right now, the only feeling the washed over me was… was… what was it? I didn't know. "You interest me, Katie"
He had called me… by my name?
"And I have already analyzed the situation. I see that it will be difficult. I have two casualties, and one of them has the upper hand, as well. However, I will not give up. For, it is fated, after all"
I felt light, and happy, but at the same time, I was so… frightened and scared. Sebastian was a big scary demon. He was hot and sexy, but strong and very well capable of doing dangerous things. He had demon eyes, and a demonic aura, and yet he was still warily kind.
"And yet," He tugged on my hand and pressed me forward, making me lean on his body. I was standing in front of him, and I couldn't see his current expression, but I had a feeling that he was smirking as usual. His breath tickled against my bare neck. "I crave for you" Licking my neck, I gasped aloud.
And the worst part was that I knew all this time, but I just didn't want to acknowledge it. That part of him, it wanted me. It craved for me. He wanted to eat me, swallow me whole and never leave a trace of it.
So then nobody else could have it.
Because big scary demons don't like sharing.
