Summary: Katie Walker was a 14 year old girl who was an otaku. She takes up classes on martial arts and has a minion named Yuusuke Usui. However, one thing led to another and suddenly she and her minion 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.

"Wait, wait, wait!" I called out as loud as I could, trailing after a rather embarrassed Ciel. Behind me was Yuusuke who I suspected to be rather curious about what I would have say in order to convince Ciel that I was entirely not lesbian. Ciel's footsteps never faltered nor did he turn his head to glance at me.

"Ciel, stop being such a baby!"

"I am not a child!"

U-huh, like I'm gonna believe that right after you just whined that out! Adorable indenial is always best!

"At least stop so then I can explain!"

Like a God finally answering my prayers, his feet skidded to a stop. I halted myself as well. He turned back and looked at me in the eye. "I do not require one!" With his face redder than any shade I've seen, his lips curled up. "It doesn't- It matters not to me if you are- are- if your preferences lean more to females! However I refuse any requests on having whores over in the manor!"

He doesn't get it one bit… My jaw went slack at his unexpected grasp on the situation. He thinks I was… I was… SHE'S FREAKIN' FOURTEEN YOU 12 YEAR OLD! SHE'S FOURTEEN, YOU FOOL! I couldn't even argue after Ciel made that remark. My jaw remained on the floor.

"Hey, hey" Yuusuke finally began. "Ciel, you need to look at it from Katie's Point of View. She's just 14, you can't possibly think that she's having whores at your place at that age. Be a little more considerate to these theories" Darth Vader nodded vigorously, agreeing with him.

Sir Yuusuke's points were excellent, and made perfect sense! Good, good, but not enough to defeat the Earl Phantomhive! "And you" He pointed at the guy, frenzied. "you're one to talk when you have yet to apologize to her!" Yuusuke froze, knowing that Ciel was right. I think it's obvious who's won the debate now. He went back to me. "D-Do not think I will allow you to get away with this! After all, YOU were the one who started it!" Just when I thought he couldn't get any redder, I realized that I was no longer sure if Vincent Phantomhive should or shouldn't be proud of his son because he just broke the Blushing Record!

"What?" I finally found my voice and spoke aloud, confused.

He quickly shook his head. "Nevermind that!" It then came to him that she probably did not remember that she stole his first kiss since she was sick at that time. A part of Ciel wondered if she kissed him just for the heck of it, after all a sick person's mind can be hazy and blurry. When the person was already 100% crazy, it would just add up to the confusion. Luckily he didn't get sick after. (Oh, Ciel… You're so cute when it comes to these kind of things… I wonder, should I reveal that secret to Katie to surprise her, hehe?) "Well, I best be off now!"

I held out my hand. "Wait a sec, Ciel! I-"

"I'm very busy! Don't disturb me!" He warned, disappearing through another corridor. I sighed and shook my head at his attempt to act cool.

"Well, that hardly worked, huh?" I spun around with a lazy smile on my face. Yuusuke eyed me with an immense fill of both worry and confusion. "Just so you know, I'm still into Sebastian and other males; girls aren't my thing, so you don't have to worry about me stealing your spotlight"

He tossed his head back and laughed. "That'll be the day, Walker" It's been a while since I've heard him call me my surname instead of my first name. I wonder what's gotten him all polite and formal all of a sudden. He bopped his face back down with a small smile playing on his lips. "But, he was right about the part of me being inconsiderate…"

I waved my hands in denial. "Nahh~ that was normal and expected."

"Someone's reacted the same way as I did?" Perplexity filled his once relaxed face.

I simply laughed in response. "No, no!" I -with zero chakra and no intent on hurting him- hit his forearm gently. "If that happened then I'd seriously be sighing this holiday away, now wouldn't I?" My laughs seized and what was left on my face was simply a sad smile. "It's just…" Letting out an exasperated exhale that had been just waiting to come out, I continue. "Don't apologize." Yet, I added in my mind.

He furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding what I was trying to say. I expected him to be surprised since everyone thought of me as someone who would say something like this when someone else apologizes to me; "HA! IN YOUR FACE, SUCKER! YOU JUST GOT SERVED, BITCH! DID YOU HEAR WHAT YOU JUST SAID; I WAS RIGHT, YOU WERE DOWN-RIGHT WRONG, HELLA YEAH!"

Yuusuke's expression said it all. But that was still my answer to his forgiveness. "How can I NOT apologize? It wasn't any of my business to laugh at someone's weaknesses. I mean; I have weaknesses too, and well, I shouldn't have teased you that much about your past since I've heard stories from Tokura and-"

It was as if one of the bones in my body had snapped. Like a twig. In half, and now it's two pieces instead of one. What did Minami -out of all people- tell Yuusuke? And when were those two close in the first place? I spoke in Japanese. Knowing a language Ciel and Sebastian weren't familiar with was actually a pretty darn good thing since we could now talk secretly! I mean; now people won't be able to understand what we say, right?

"What did Minami tell you?"

He stiffened in shock which implied that he had talked too much and said something that was meant to be hidden. "Nothing"

"Don't you dare lie to me! I deserve to know what she told you. Now tell me what she told you!"

"But... I'm in no position to tell you, Katie, I promised Tokura-san that I wouldn't tell a living sou-"

"BULLSHIT!" I screamed. And all of a sudden, I'm throwing Yuusuke onto the wall and threatening him to tell me what the hell was going on. With my palms around his neck -with no chakra applied, yet- I felt him swallow nervously. "Tell. Me. Yuusuke." My expression alone revealed that I wasn't taking no for an answer. Minami was the first and only friend I which I told my secret about. The secrets of my past and about what happened in my orphanage, how it was burnt down and that I couldn't even remember who my parents were. "Now"

"I…" He nervously shifted his eyes from right to left. It was obvious that escape was not one of the choices he could take at the right moment. I had trapped him, and answers were the only key to surviving right now. He swallowed a lump in his throat and exhaled shakily. He placed a palm on my right arm and rubbed it smoothly. Surprisingly, I calmed down and backed away, slowly.

My intention… was to scare him. That was all, I had no intention to actually kill him, right? Mmm...mm? Darth Vader did what I suspected to be a shrug.

Did I… really intend to kill him? Look at it this way, even if you DID choke him , I don't think you'd actually be THAT strong to kill him in one second. If I used my chakra, I had the power of completely decapitating him. Oh well, that… sounds… unfortunate.

SILENCE

All of a sudden, Yuusuke's hugging me and patting me on my back as I cover my snot and tears on his white shirt. The weirdest part of it was that Yuusuke was singing me a baby lullaby which I recognized as Twinkle Twinkle Star. Why am I crying? Hmm… I don't know, maybe it's because we were about to kill our butler who was only trying to help? Oh, right.

I sniffed in a sob. Oh God, my face felt warm and my stomach was doing jumping-jacks. "Please tell me…" Fisting his shirt, I pleaded pathetically. What did Minami tell him? Wasn't she trustworthy? Wasn't she my best friend? Wasn't she the person whom said that she'd always be my side no matter what after Keito left? Did she actually like Yuusuke more? Why did she tell Yuusuke? What did she tell Yuusuke? The question kept coming to me, and yet the answer never came.

He sighed, nodding. "Alright, but let's get you fixed up first." He gave me a tiny smile. "You look like train wreck"

T

"Hrmf..." Yuusuke rubbed the wet towel on her face as slowly as possible, afraid that if he went too fast she might cry again. He couldn't say that he enjoyed doing this, but there were still tears around. He had plenty of experience of taking care of his girlfriends when they were sick. He still remembered Misa-chan who was just the cutest when she had a fever. Her face would be red, and she'd imagine wild and odd things since it was too hot. One time, she woke up and thought she was in an oven and that he was an evil Italian chef who had been trying to cook her as pizza.

Yuusuke was done wiping her face. He put the cloth down and hung it to dry. "Will you walk?" She shook her head. "You want me to carry you?" She made no move to respond. He felt like chuckling at her. She worried him deeply; would she do this with another guy since she was so open? Wait, why did he even care? Of course he was simply talking about it being dangerous for her. Would she be THIS open to a stranger? Yes, that was what he meant.

He brought her body close and it curled up automatically in his arms. He then cradled her slowly to her bedroom. He had only now realized that she wasn't as heavy as he thought. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if she was even lighter than Ciel! He closed the door with his back since his hands were far too busy and headed over to her bed. He sat on the mattress and embraced the form of Katie closer to him. He knew the truth, so reminding her of her haunting past was going to be scary. Relaxing her was the first thing he had to do before he could tell her what he knew.

"Feeling better?" By stroking her back, he discovered that Katie's upper body was rather long. She nodded in his chest, comforted by his warmth. He leaned his head on her pillow and patted her head gently. "Are you sure you want to hear this?" She nodded again. Yuusuke sighed to what it seemed that hundredth time today. "Alright"

"Tokura told me that you were somewhat linked to The Great Hidakagawa Tragedy, and that your adoptive father was Mist Walker"

As if to confirm his knowledge, she closed her eyes. "Is it true?"

...

"Yeah, I was an orphan there." She admitted, eyes casted downwards.

The Great Hidakagawa Tragedy happened in 2007, when Katie was 7 and Yuusuke was 10. The Hidakagawa Orphanage that had been sponsored by Walker Ventures had burnt down. It was said that there were no survivors. The orphans and the caretakers were killed in the fire. Nobody knew how the fire started, but it was rumored that it was an accident.

Yuusuke tilted his head. "But... they said there weren't any survivors"

"People lie, Yuusuke." She sat up, head still on him. "After the fire, Mist found me wet, tied up against a tree" His eyes widened in surprise. Tied up against a tree? And wet after a fire? Wasn't that rather... odd? If it was an accident, then how did Katie get tied up against a tree? It didn't make sense one bit. And how did Mist get to her before the cops could? It sounded like somebody was there. "He was the CEO to Walker Ventures, meaning the sponsor to the Orphanage I stayed in."

"But why didn't he say anything?"

"He didn't want the Press talking to me. I had a trauma for 2 years, Yuusuke. 2 years" Her hands were shaking. "Mist said if anyone were to find out about me, they might accuse me of burning it down because-"

"-you were the only one who survived. And that you were outside, safe unlike the people who were in the building." Yuusuke finished for her. It made sense. If the police were to find Katie before Mist, they might've brought her into questioning. "But you were just a 7 year old girl!"

She nodded. "Yes, and although they might not accuse me of causing the fire, there's a possibility that they would keep their eyes on me forever."

"Because you were a victim?"

"No, because if I was tied up; they would suspect that somebody was there and that they were the ones who tied me up. So, they'd test me and try to see if I knew who the killer was."

"Do you?!"

"If I knew, I would be telling the cops straight. But I don't." She gave him a saddened smiled. "But… I saw him"

"You did? Who was it? What did he look like?"

She sighed and shook her head. "I saw him, the man who tied me up." She paused. It wasn't a surprise to him that she had been holding back tears. For someone who had a traumatic experience about this topic, she was taking it rather well. "It… didn't make sense"

"What do you mean?" He questioned, resuming the constant touches on her arm.

"Well, at least, before this it didn't make sense." She explained. "But then… THIS" she gestured to the air. "happened, and I made that a possibility"

"I don't follow, sorry"

"It's funny. The police and scientists said that there were no traces of gas. If there was a bomb, then it would've been loud enough for most of the neighbours to hear. The fire was silent, and nobody realized. This person was… careful." Wow, it felt like they were detectives in a coffee shop, munching on donuts at noon. He could basically smell the scent of cocoa beans. "If the people inside were killed by the fire, then they would have enough time to sound the fire alarm before they died, no? In each room, there were at least two fire alarms accompanied with fire extinguishers. What does this tell us, Yuu-chan?"

He glared at the nickname, "Either the fire alarms were turned off and the fire extinguishers were empty or," but then lost his cool when he realized the answer. "They were killed before the fire started" She smirked haughtily. Well, at least she was acting normally. "Did he… murder them?"

"He who murdered them, I'm not too sure. However, I can confirm to you that they were indeed dead before the fire."

"How?"

…

"I was still in the building before the fire started, and I suppose that I was a little spooked by the surprise that had been awaiting me when I returned to the orphanage. But yes, I saw their corpses." She admitted, voice not faltering. Yuusuke was amazed by the amount of confidence she spoke with. Katie really was strong, he hated to admit. "Whoever killed them was a real sadist. A bloody mess was left on the walls of my bedroom. I have to admit he was creative. Different types, some were headless, some were missing other physical parts of their body. My sheets and curtains were stained in red, almost had me feeling someone had been PMS-ing around. The stench of rust and salt remained in the air, it almost looked unreal; the bodies, I mean. Their clothed bodies twisted and covered in rigor mortis. Tormented. Their faces locked in a screaming grimace, probably caused by the unbearable pain induced by their decapitation. A head had tumbled down the staircase as I saw a silhoutte of a man running towards the 3rd floor study. Toki-Toki-kun, Ikobe-san, Waki-Waki-chan, and even Ryoushi-chan"

"Were they your friends?" Yuusuke had to swallow the bile forming up his throat. Thank goodness the details of their appearance had ended there.

"Nonsense! Those were the people who hated me. They bullied me everyday, and I just ignored them. There was a time when I finally punched Waki-Waki-chan in the face and she cried to one of the sisters there. It felt right!" Then why even mention them? He deadpanned. "But… we got to, how say, make up in the end. Well just one day before the tragedy actually. Ironic, is it not? We played together, and had a sleepover. It was the first time I thought living in an orphanage wasn't all that bad. Because… you know… I had friends" Katie smiled when an image of the four children grinning widely as they hugged her. Ah, memories.

"They sounded like good friends" Yuusuke sneered.

"They were" She confessed. "Now, back to the board." Moving along was what she meant. "Yes, they died before the fire. A real medieval-styled killing if you ask me. Toki-Toki-kun was skeletonized with a razor" Yuusuke flinched, feeling his stomach churn as though ready to vomit again. Skeletonized by a razor? "He was the last body I saw before I had been grabbed."

"Grabbed? By that guy?"

"Probably" She shrugged. "I saw his face, but I forgot what he looked like when I woke up. He was definitely there. I remember the lights going off all of a sudden, and that he was really rough and in a rush to get me outside."

"In any words, you mean he saved you? Why would he do that?" Yuusuke was still so confused. "Did he plan on kidnapping you after burning down the orphanage?"

"Patience. I still haven't figured that one out yet. Your theory is irrelevant."

"HAAH?"

"Why would he go through the trouble of murdering several and I mean SEVERAL others in order to kidnap one person? He could've just kidnapped me alone with his abilities that managed to silently burn down a whole orphanage throughout one night, no?" Okay, she proved that point. "Plus, if his real intention was to kidnap children then he would've kidnapped more than one instead of killing them, right?"

"So why get you out instead of killing you?"

She sighed and raised a hand. "All I can say is that the fire wasn't natural. Silent and invisible." Sadly, he still didn't get it. She rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Yuusuke. Here I thought the Usui Prodigy was smart. Were your straight A's really for nothing?"

He tilted his head and cupped his pointed chin in thought. "Fine, fine, I'll use this genius brain for once" He thought for a second. Silent and invisible, she said. Perhaps it had something to do with the location? "The orphanage was surrounded by a small forest on a hill nearby Mt Daisen, right?" Katie nodded in approval. Yuusuke had been to the orphanage once when his mother was donating items to them, he wondered if he ever caught a glimpse of the emerald-eyed brunette. "Doesn't that hill face the highway? Yuasa - Gobo Road?" Ah, there was the genius she had been searching for minutes ago.

"Wait a second, that just doesn't make sense. That highway's REAL busy! Cars are lining up all the way from Osaka! Plus, there's the Kisei Main Line coming to and from Dojoji!" Boy, was he excited. "I remember the Orphanage being a large building around 5-7 storeys high, right?" Nod. "If the fire managed to really just burn the whole building, then doesn't that mean the fire would've been rather large?" Nod. "And that it would've been large and bright enough for people to see since it was at NIGHT? I'm sure SOMEONE would've realized! Another thing, the police make rounds nearby that highway all the time!" Yawn.

"HEY! DON'T YOU DARE PULL OUT THAT MOVE ON ME LIKE I'M SLOW! YOU SUPPORT ME WHEN I'M IN THE MOMENT!" Yuusuke complained at her negative motions.

She smirked. "How about you finish your theory before I go to sleep?"

"As you said, the fire wasn't normal! It wasn't the orange and reddish flame everyone knows! The fire must've either been a different color or... or…"

"Or?"

"I don't know what comes after or…" She deadpanned as bold letters appeared in the air, WHY EVEN MENTION 'OR'? "Anyways! It was in a different color! It was a dark color! I'm sure of it! And if people saw the bright light and said that they thought it was the summer festival they'd better well be dumb because that wasn't even during freakin' summer!"

She sighed tiredly. "And…?"

…

DUN DUN DUN!

GASP!

Yuusuke does an impersonation as The Scream perfectly, just a little sexily; AKA derpy. "THE ONE WHO BURNT THE BUILDING WAS A DIMENSION TRAVELER!"

"REJOICE! HE IS A GENIUS!" Katie yelled aloud, happy.

"EITHER THAT OR HE WAS FROM A DIFFERENT DIMENSION AND WAS BROUGHT TO OUR WORLD BY SOMEONE ELSE LIKE I WAS BROUGHT HERE AGAINST MY WILL BY YOU!"

"YES!"

"HE DID MAGIC!"

...

WHACK!

...

"And to think you were a genius…" Katie shook her head with her voice lowered, disappointed in her butler who was now aiding the big bump on his head.

"I'm sorry for being unable to meet your expectations?"

Katie huffed and spun to meet him in the eyes. "May I explain my theory now?"

"Aye, Walker-sensei…"

"As you said, indeed, the flames were not orange and reddish as the flames we knew. True, they were dark flames. I suspect it to the jet-black flames which is said to be 'the fires from hell' and as hot as the sun itself. It is deadly and extremely dangerous since the flames were invulnerable towards anything."

"No way… Then how did the fire end in the first place?"

"Amaterasu is a ninjutsu that uses the highest level of Fire Release. It is said to represent the 'Material World and Light', the antipode to Tsukuyomi - a genjutsu of similar power and a fellow Mangekyo Sharingan dojutsu. Use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, usually causing their eyes to bleed. By focusing their vision upon an object the user is able to ignite flames, ignite at the focus of the user's vision"

"In other words, only the Uchihas have it since they own the Sharingan" Nod. "If they use it too much then their eyes will bleed?" Nod. "So, this guy is something like Cyclops just a little weirder?"

GLARE

"That means… someone from the Naruto World came around and burnt down a whole orphanage and killed innocent orphans?"

"Don't ask me why but apparently I suspected that's what happened."

"Why would they do that?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"Yeah, but… still… it's weird"

Katie shook out of his grip and sat on her bed instead of Yuusuke's lap. "Whatever, let's stop talking about this. It messes me up a little." Well, that was fast. "Now that you know what actually happened and what might've happened, you must never speak of this again, understood? Even to Ciel and Sebastian. This is… highly confidential"

He nodded. "I know that, and I'm just glad you told me. It makes me feel somewhat special" She stifled a laugh. "But, don't blame Tokura, alright? She was just defending you, and she accidentally spat it out. She's a good friend, and although an idiot, she's sincere"

"I knew that" Huffing, she implied. "I'm intellectual, after all"

"Hah! Yeah, I totally knew that too!" The small smile playing on his lips made her heart skip a beat. It was... a nice talk. She never talked about this with anyone else. But talking about it with Yuusuke felt... good. It didn't take much time till his hand met her cheeks. "Hey... what's wrong? You're crying again" She was? She hadn't even realized it since she had been looking at him in such admiration. Her cheeks felt damp in his palms. Soon enough he started wiping them away with his forefinger.

"I'm just... so happy." Her voice broke into sobs, and she started to hiccup. "I mean... because... you're always by my side, and I don't even deserve it... You're kind, with that damn smile of yours! And you're always... always... supportive, nice, helpful, wise... you're..." Before she could finish her sentence, Yuusuke connected their foreheads together. Katie found herself unable to speak or pull away from his content gaze on hers. "You're... a really... good friend, Yuusuke.."

He angled her head downwards slightly to kiss her forehead as a sign of affection. Katie's jaw dropped in surprise as his lips lingered above her brows. He drew back, parting his lips from her forehead and brought her face to face his once more. "Why...?" Was all she could muster up from her courage. She searched his face for any sign of ploy but found none. Yuusuke was serious.

His smile never faded nor did his eyes move away from hers. When she opened her mouth again to speak, he silenced her by placing his finger on her lips. "Don't speak, just feel..." His finger drew backwards, and now he was suddenly staring at her lips. What... would they taste like? He's kissed a lot of girls, including Minami on accident. But what would this girl taste like? Cherry? Mint? Katie's eyes closed, making his breath hitch. Before he could even realize, his lips leaned forward and made a move to claim hers when-

BARK!

He frowned in disappointment as Katie pushed him away. He was so close too. Oh, the karma...

T

I quickly pushed Yuusuke off me and took a peek under my bed. Peeking under my bed, I found the white puppy I had bathed earlier. The one who was to be named, Snow White! "Oh, hey!" I grabbed him and pulled him onto the bed, and as if on alarm, Yuusuke glared at the animal. "What's up with you?" Was he… scared of dogs? Oh, that would be hilarious. Especially since he always seemed to be fearless; excluding a certain Grim Reaper who has the same name as a famous WWE Professional American Wrestler.

"I… me and dogs don't really get along well with each other." I raised an eyebrow at him before giggling. His cheeks flushed from the embarrassment. How interesting. So the butler DOES have a weakness. Well, that sort of makes us even since he just found out about mine earlier. Hey, why don't you ask him about a name for the puppy? Puh-lease, he's the least creative person I know! There's no way he'd find a great name. Fine, big baby.

"Can you help me out with a name?" Darth Vader laughed deviously when I asked him the question she had been meaning to ask forcefully using my mouth.

"And I thought that you'd be a genius at that." He smirked haughtily and drew back on a pillow, relaxing like a slacker.

"Well, I thought he was a girl at first, so I planned to call her Snow White. But after discovering the horrid truth, I can't possibly call him such a name!"

Yuusuke laughed. "Snow White? Just because he's white?"

I pouted. "Yeah, well, shut up. Anyways, do you know what type of dog he is?" I held out the puppy to his face. He flinched, about to back away when the puppy licked his nose. I laughed. "Aww~ that was so cute!" Seeing that made my heart flutter away like a little butterfly. I wished I'd taken a picture...

His cheeks reddened. "Sh-Shut up... anyways, if I'm not mistaken he is a West Highland White Terrier" I awed.

"And you said you and dogs don't get along!"

"KATIE!"

"Okay, okay… geez, why are you such a baby?"

Yuusuke rolled his eyes and placed a finger on his chin, in a thinking pose. "How about… Shiro?" (A/N: For those who don't know, Shiro is a japanese word and it means White)

SILENCE

A grin stretched on his lips. "You think it's a good name, don't you? You just don't want to admit it"

"SHUT UP!"

And so, Shiro was born. I wonder if Ciel will let me bring Shiro home with us. Gotta save room for the naked man! Oh, right! Plu-Plu, thou shan't be alone for any longer!

T

After that short yet frustrating conversation, Sebastian knocked on the door and asked me to excuse Yuusuke. Apparently, it was Yuu-chan's bedtime. Oh, well that just cracked me up… again. All of that happened so fast that I hadn't been aware that I was in my room, alone, and it was currently time for Ciel to get to bed. Yuusuke took Shiro-chan to his room since Sebastian didn't want me smelling like a dog. Man, that was just… too fast. I went over to my bag and unlatched the hook.

I opened it and grinned. Oh Yuusuke, you really are the best human butler ever- Sebastian is still my number #1, apologies for betraying you. Inside were all my iPad minis, my S3 and my gear. Only then did I realize that my wrist was bare. I put it on quickly and adjusted the strap loosely so then I'd be comfortable. Usually if I don't wear my watch I'd lose it. So to ensure I don't misplace it, I have to keep it on me. Other than those, my clothes were neatly folded. My singlets were under the shirts and luckily he also brought my underwear. Sebastian, you will totally beat Victoria Secret in the future.

Not to brag or anything but I think that Sebastian's underwear line is coming up great, but he's only made women lingerie. It's a bit bashful for me whenever I find a new set every morning. The life of a demon must be awesome. I mean, he can do things so fast that he usually finishes off his duties in a minute. And since demons can't sleep, who knows just what he does to pass the time. When I was still in the middle of the 1st season, I had a theory about Sebastian watching Ciel sleep; and that a half hour before Ciel wakes up Sebastian would go down to the kitchen and prepare his breakfast. But I already discovered his agenda when I was sneaking around, stalking him.

Firstly, he would go outside and play around with the black cat he often admired. I called her Midnight because Minami once had a cat named Midnight but she ran away after Minami tried to dress her up.

What an idiot. Everyone knew that cats hated dressing up. Minami had it coming to her in the first place.

After that he'd feed her and then go back inside to hide in Ciel's closet. Why he does so, I will never know, but I suspect him to be a closet pervert. Yet, he just sat in a small box, hugging his knees with an expressionless face. After an hour or so, around 2:00 AM, he'd leave and go downstairs and look out a certain window. I wasn't sure if monitoring the area in any case there was someone who tried to sneak in was his intention since he didn't even need to do so. Sebastian was a demon who could feel the whole manor's area. If someone were to even step onto the land uninvited then Sebastian would come running, ready for the kill.

But he stared, for a whole 30 minutes.

Then he would journey to the sewing room located in the basement and spend time drawing more designs for my underwear. I swear, it creeped me out how much dedication he was putting into his work.

One time, Yuusuke tried teasing me by claiming that Sebastian was just excited to see me wearing them for the night of my birthday and that he was getting ready for it.

His ideas weren't bad, really. I liked most of his blue and white sections which were filled with aqua, turquoise and more innocent themes. But the ones that I just couldn't stand were the red and black sections. He managed to predict Victoria Secret's Fantasy Fashion Show by putting in the devil theme. His drawings of devil wings strapped to the bra straps and collars attached that were supposed to be around the girl's neck were endless!

It really pissed me off on how a demon really knew his own tale. Heck, he even put a flippin' tail!? However, what managed to blow my cover was when I discovered his gold section which was… oh Kami-sama, I don't want to think about that! Sebastian Michaelis was so genius and smart that he managed to predict the future! He discovered the great secret which was…

*drum rolls*

The G String!

After that, I responsively screamed in terror and made a dash back to my room. Luckily, Sebastian never followed me. The next morning, I punched both Yuusuke in the face and Sebastian -with chakra trailing behind- in the balls and hoped for him to never have sex in his entire life. Ever.

I chuckled at the memory and quickly dressed for bed. Apparently, Ciel and I had a deal on how I dress. This happened one day when he saw me prancing to breakfast on the second floor corridor in only a singlet and a pair of shorts I found in the laundry room. To him it was prancing, to me it was simple swag! He dragged me all the way back to my bedroom and attacked my closet, throwing out all the dresses and clothes he had prepared for me onto my bed.

"A lady has shame, and must know how to hide her shame! Therefore, she MUST dress properly. And you ARE a LADY, are you not?"

And so, we formed our on contract. I promised to wear the proper clothes that would hide my so-called-shame in the manor when not in my bedroom, outside and anywhere else where there were eyes looking. In return, Ciel said that when we travel elsewhere I get to reject an itchy nightgown and wear whatever I want to as long as I'm not sleeping nude. Another thing was that Ciel would give me chocolate from the Funtom Company he owned everyday when I'm a good girl.

BRIBERY!

And so, I simply dressed in a pair of shorts I stole from Bard. Again. And no, he didn't know that I'm using his shorts, yet. But I'm sure he's fully aware that his shorts are missing. Yes, Bard wore shorts. The reason is because under the white skirt, he wears a pair of white pants. But at times when it's hot, he wears the shorts instead, apparently. But since it won't be hot anytime soon, I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing them for my pajamas! As my top it's the usual singlet.

Where do I get singlets, you ask? I tried stealing them from Sebastian at first -with no permission- but -as expected- he caught me red handed. However, he allowed me to use his large singlets since -apparently- I looked cute wearing his clothes. In fact, he offered me his blazer too. But that thing was just waaay too hot for the indoors! Thanks for the offer, I will wear it when I get cold!

I jumped onto my bed with an oomf! and sighed in content at the comfort of the bed which fitted my taste perfectly. Mist and I had the same taste in mattresses which were hard. If not, our backs and necks would ache for the whole day. I remember once when we had to get a new mattress since the ones we had wasn't comfortable enough.

T

"CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES !" The 9 year old girl cried out in glee as she landed on a mattress.

"VANILLA MILKSHAKES!" Her father followed, jumping onto the spot right next to her. As he descended, she snatched away a pillow and quickly hit his head playfully. "Hey! Violence is bad, Kat! I thought I told you-" Yet, she hit him again, followed by her humorous laughter. "Fine! If you wanna play it THAT way," He grabbed his own pillow and hit her back.

"PILLOW BATTLE!"

The secretary deadpanned at the sight of both her bosses whom were arguing rather childishly. Katie and Mist were in the Walker Mattress Department, picking out a new mattress for her. She had been sleeping in the same bed as Mist since she first moved in when she was 7 because of her trauma. But now that she felt better, Mist decided that it was time for her to get a new bed.

Sleeping in a separate bed and in a separate room would be a big step for her, Mist thought. Therefore it was his duty to ensure that she would be comfortable. Instead of ordering one of his employees to get a new bed, Mist knew that bringing the young girl to look for one was better. One day when he was reading Parenting Book Volume II, he found out that shopping is better carried out WITH the child in order to deepen their bond. Parents can also discover the children's tastes and wants. This was the perfect opportunity to carry out the synthesis!

Mist Walker, was a young man in his late 20s. He was the CEO of Walker Ventures, an excellent businessman who knew what to say and when to say it. Overall he was one of the leading billionaires in Asia. The man was handsome, devious and above all an egocentric man to the public. However, once he enters his white three-storey house and kicks off his black leather shoes, he is recognized as every child's dream father; well, excluding one child.

"Mist! You're such a meanie!" Katie giggled loudly and whacked his butt.

"I know I am!" He quickly attacked her and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms. He tightened his hold around her waist and tickled her armpits, making her laugh wildly. "I thought I told you to call me daddy!"

She laughed uncontrollably, unable to hold in her laughs. "B-but... Hahahhaha.. You... Hahahhaha... are more... like...a Hahahhaha.. Stop… stop! Oniichan!"

...

"Ha! Gotcha!" She pushed him off her, sending him falling off the bed and his head barreled up against the feet of a nearby wooden table.

THUD!

"Mist-niichan, you're gonna have to do better than that! Ha!"

...

Yes. The only child who never saw this child-loving man as a father was Katie Walker. Mist never knew why she would never call him her father. He bought her toys, Naruto Merchandise, did everything the book told him to do, and he even begged her to get him something for Fathers' Day! Mist was obsessed with Katie Walker, since he loved her very much. She was adorable.

He was not a lolicon, but who could resist such an adorable little thing like her? She was innocent! Completely! And he just wanted to hug her till she couldn't breathe. Oh, but that sounded terrible! Doing that would be… just… terrible!

"A-hem!" The secretary cleared her throat rather loudly, hoping to attract a certain silver-haired man who had been sitting on the wooden floor of the Walker Mattress Department. He tossed his head back and looked up at the spectacled woman. "Mr. Walker, although both you and Miss Walker are the only ones in the department at the moment, please do behave accordingly. I'm still here."

Yes, they were alone in the whole department. Why? Probably because Mist wanted to hide both his daughter and his true personality from the world. Only his secretary knew the true story behind that egomaniac face. He then hopped onto his feet effortlessly and sent an icy glare towards the woman who froze, reacting as usual. "It matters not that you're here. Your mere presence is ONLY to answer me and my child's questions. Nothing more"

She stiffly turned her head, but nodded understandingly. Mist left her to run over to Katie like a child himself to catch and perhaps toss her in the air. Honestly, Katie wasn't a baby. She was childish, yes, but not a 3 year old. She turned and followed them with a heavy sigh.

"Misty!" Called out the girl with arms in the air. "I like this one!" The two adults headed over to her and found her on a large king sized bed, centered, and away from the other beds. Mist took a seat next to her form and lied down as well, testing its comfort.

"This is actually my type of bed" Confessed Mist. "You like it, Kat?"

She grinned wide. "YUP! The bed's big enough for both YOU and ME! Now you can sleep next to me, Misty!"

*sweatdrop*

What was the true motive of getting her a bed again?

T

It went unknown to Katie that she had been sleeping, delving into her memories like a dream. Her memories of Mist Walker were never blurry. No, she remembered every single second with him. The times they would play together in her room. Although there was completely nothing to do, they'd always have fun with each others' presence. Keito was a different matter. The precious nephew of Mist Walker had run off when she was just 10, leaving her heartbroken.

To Katie, Keito was her equal. Both lost things they loved dearly, both didn't remember a part of them, and finally both had a single savior; Mist Walker. Keito was like her other half, the person that managed to fill the hole she had been missing. Though they were polar opposites. She was always smiling, all laughs and carefree. Keito was often expressionless, looking out the window and silent. He was a wise boy who knew what measures to take and when, just like his uncle.

She missed Keito dearly. Very much, actually. No matter how many times she tried to contact him -phone, email, actual mail, even a pigeon who she thought would succeed but never came back- her plans never prevailed. Mist told her to stop and focus on herself. Yet, she never stopped missing him. Keito was family to her.

And nothing would change that.

A single blood red left eye glowed in the darkness of the night. The eye had a few black markings on it. The form of the black haired man approached the sleeping girl on the bed cautiously, yet his steps were spazzing in confidence. He leaned down, sniffing her lightly before smirking in satisfaction.

"Cherry~"

T

The curtains were pushed aside as light seeped through the transparent glass known as the window, disrupting my peaceful slumber. Who on earth was disturbing my sleep right this moment? Somebody like me needed sleep to be awesome, didn't they know that? And what time was it?

I pushed the covers off my head and opened my eyes, instantly adjusting to the brightness of the room; which wasn't too hard since Houndsworth was still cloudy at this time of year. With my hand lifted up to the ceiling, I stretched my aching limbs and spun my body around to lie on my stomach and bury my face in my pillow. Expecting Sebastian or Yuusuke, I spoke up rudely,

"Awesome people need sleep, Yuusuke. But if you're Sebastian, leave before I chakra kick your balls." I threatened and closed my eyes, intending to continue my rest.

…

A chuckle escaped his lips.

...

"My, my…" Wait, that isn't Sebastian's voice. Nor was it Yuusuke's. Plus, I don't think he'd even bother to wake me up in the first place. Wait… this aura is… "Miss Walker, how could you classify your angel in the same category as those two fools? It hurts me deeply"

My body went to full battle mode. My eyes opened, wide as saucers and instantly flew out of bed and attacked the chandelier hanging on the ceiling. I hugged it for my life and glared at the sneering angel who chose to change his gender to male again. "Leave. Sexual. Harasser."

He placed a hand on where I presumed his human heart would be, appearing offended. "How could you, Miss Walker? And I still have yet to do something!" THE ACCUSED ADMITS! I HEREBY PRONOUNCE THE ACCUSED,

KNOCK!

GUILTY!

It's too bad Darth Vader wasn't a real judge. If she was, then we'd put all the real baddies and perverts to jail!

I rolled my eyes at his foolery. "What do you want?"

He cocked his head, looking up at me in amusement. "Ah, so that's a bra…" My cheeks tinged red, but I ignored it since he was just teasing. "Anyway, I brought you your breakfast" He gestured to the breakfast cart he had next to him. It was piled with delicacies. The colors bounced, attached to the aroma of the appetizing meal which successfully made my mouth water. Holy shit… my stomach grumbled… I am damn hungry.

Crosissants, bread rolls, danishes, all sorts of pastries I never knew Houndsworth even had to offer. It's either that, or Ash went to the trouble to actually get me an awesome breakfast.

His smirk only enlargened at my reaction. "If you're hungry, all you have to do is come down" I shook off my daydreams and scowled in distrust. "I promise I won't do anything that makes you uncomfortable, Miss Walker" What do I do? There's food down there. But there's a monster too. Kill the monster, acquire the food and eat but don't get fat. Killing the monster ain't as easy as you think… I can kill him! We can't! If we kill him, it'll alter the future. We might not even see Pluto! PLU PLU! I shall be patient... for my PLU PLU!

FOOD IT IS!

I let go of the chandelier and fell on my bed, making it creak slightly from the force. "Now, I'm not doing this because I'm forced to. I'm doing this because I want to eat. That is all." Pfft… fail. GANDALF PUSH! Darth Vader falls into a neverending chasm of darkness. Pushed by me. XD

Ash nodded, going along with it anyway. I grabbed the biggest croissant on the tray and took a bite out of it. Odd, I taste cheese. Wait… how did he… I spun to face the angel who had his pointy nose up high. "Impressed?" He asked boldly, his nose long and pointy; probably the effects from the anime. "You must be amazed to find out that I know that you have a love for cheese! Am I correct?"

My eye twitched as a response to the painful truth. "Stalker"

Ash ignored the last remark I made and made haste to the door. I watched him draw back and retrieve an item from outside before closing the door once more. "Mwhat's vwaat?" I asked with my mouth full of cheese.

"I found something in that treacherous fool's attic that I thought you might find…" he paused, finding the suitable word to fit his sentence. "entertaining" I cocked my head in curiosity. He pulled it in front of him and revealed it to me proudly. "Ta-da~!"

…

"Wow"

I said uninterestingly at the item in his palms. I swear, I saw his soul fly out of his mouth just seconds ago.

"Wow?" He gaped. "That's all you have to say?!"

Well, there wasn't much in his hand in the first place. No, it wasn't a genie lamp. And no, it wasn't a magazine of Sebastian Porn either. In fact, it was something normal, yet not normal. In his hands was a mask. A yellow bird mask to be exact. It was made out of ceramic. There was… completely nothing interesting about it other than why it would be in Henney-Wenney's attic. I thought he preferred dogs… "What's up with the bird mask, dude?"

"Don't you find it interesting in any way at all?!"

"No"

"WHY?!"

"Dude. Chill. It's just a bird mask"

…

"Ugh…." Ash groaned tiredly, utterly defeated, kneeling down to me like I just told him something so obvious and yet he didn't even know.

…

"Can I have it?"

"VICTORY!"

T

After breakfast, Ash turned back into Angela and left my room to myself. I didn't bother changing or showering since I knew Sebastian was bound to come to me and announce that we we were going to the beach. It was just in a matter of time; that was all. So to pass the time, I cleaned myself up and performed my everyday morning activities; brushing my teeth, washing my face, doing my business and stretching!

I was done with mirror time when I realized that my hair had grown longer. Well, that was awfully fast. Before I met Yuusuke my hair never dared to touch my shoulders, but now they were right at my collarbones. Man, long hair was such a nuisance. Maybe I should give it a short trim so then it wouldn't get in the way. NO! LONG HAIR IS TOTALLY BETTER THAN SHORT HAIR! It'll get in the way of what I do! It's annoying… I grumbled mentally at the voice in my head.

LONG HAIR!

SHORT HAIR!

LONG HAIR!

SHORT HAIR!

LONG HAIR!

SHORT HAIR!

LONG HAIR!

WHY LONG HAIR ANYWAY? GIVE ME ONE REASON WHY I SHOULD LISTEN TO YOU! JUST ONE!

WHEN YOU WIN A BATTLE, AND YOU'RE STANDING IN THAT POSE BY A CLIFF OR SOMETHING. THE WIND WILL BLOW IN YOUR HAIR! IF ONE HAS LONGER HAIR, IT LOOKS BADASS!

…

Short Hair.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I dropped the brown strands of my hair and retreated from my bathroom to retrieve my pencil box in my suitcase. I had a knack for filling up my pencil box with everything categorized as stationary. For example; scissors, stapler, puncher, bullets (stapler), paper clips, sticky notes, sharpies, pens, mechanical pencils, normal pencils, blades and I even managed to stuff in my cellophane tape. I suppose that was my tactic to get people to ask me for stuff to borrow during Art class.

Retrieving my sharp scissors, I returned to the bathroom to use the mirror as guidance. Okay, just a short trim. Nothing big. Oh for crying out loud, we suck at being careful! SHUT UP, I DON'T NEED YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS! Taking an easy breath to calm myself, I smiled at my reflection.

"Let's do this!"

Just as I started to raise the pair of scissors, I heard the Zzz of a fly in the room. I paused and saw it trying to attack me. Not today, fly-moose! I smirked and attempted to impersonate Jackie Chan (1) from The Karate Kid (The one featuring Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith, awesome man from Men In Black) Using the scissors instead of chopsticks, the fly landed on my right hand. My left hand, holding the scissors, readies to murder it when...

DOOR OPENS

...my bedroom door opened, and in came Sebastian. "Miss Katie. The Young Master would like to spend the day by the beach. Your clothes are on the bed. In any case you require assistance in-" He walked towards the open bathroom door to find me and instantly stops his speech. He halted in his steps, appearing shocked as hell.

I glanced at my right hand which was fly free, then to my left holding the scissors aiming to my right. Only then did I realize what I looked like I was trying to do. In anyone's perspective view, it would seem like I was trying to cut off my hand. I looked at him and opened my mouth to explain but instantaneously stopped when a murderous glare was sent flying at me.

"It's not what it looks like?"

T

The Phantomhive Lord was seated in a beach chair. As he monitored his servants who were joyfully playing in the water, he had a book in his hands to keep him busy. This was the first time he had ever brought his servants on a trip that involved it being somewhat like a holiday. He had tricked them about going to a resort; yes. However, he never lied about it being fun to them. He then became aware that it was far too quiet; and that meant trouble. He looked around and noticed that both the troublesome one and her butler was nowhere to be seen. That was never good.

He closed his book and turned to his butler. "Sebastian." The latter's head turned towards his master. "What is keeping those two?"

"Miss Katie and Mr. Usui are still changing, I presume. Perhaps they are having trouble with their attire?" Sebastian's theory was probably true since he knew that the future brats weren't yet accustomed to Victorian clothing. However, they spoke too soon.

Finni, Bard and Tanaka were swimming around in the lake. Next to the area which Ciel chose to accommodate for reading in relaxation were two small changing rooms. One for men, and the other for women. After a while, Mey Rin exited the female changing rooms and appeared in her swimsuit. It was a cute pink and white two-piece. She wore a pair of white shorts and a short sleeved blouse. Tanaka blushed as Bard and Finni stared at her in awe. "I knew it; this is way too embarrassing!" She cried out as she looked down shamefully. Apparently, this was in season. We repeat the word 'apparently'.

"Wow! You look so cool, Mey Rin!" Finni exclaimed as he approached her with Bard and Tanaka trailing after him from behind.

She looked up in surprise. "Really?"

Bard grinned as he brought up a finger in front of her face. "You'd probably look even better if you took your glasses off!" He teased as Mey Rin backed away as shouted out a huge NO!

Suddenly, Mey Rin's knight in shining armor appeared to rescue her.

"Oi!" Shouted out a familiar voice that came from inside the changing room. "Don't you dare take those glasses off, ye basbard!" Bard's eye twitched at his new nickname. The curtains were pushed open to and out came Katie.

In a pair of shorts -which Bard gawked at- and her notorious famous singlet. Finni and Bard's faces turned red at the skin that was shown. She smirked at them before making herself present to Ciel –who dropped his book and almost fell off his chair at her clothing. "Katie!? Why are you wearing… such revealing clothes!?" He stammered, blushing a new shade of red. Sebastian scowled at the clothing, yet liked it at the same time.

"Miss Katie, where are the garments which I had taken the liberty of choosing for you?" Asked the butler.

She laughed proudly, tossing her head back with both hands on her hips. "You haven't seen the best part yet!" She then whistled. "C'mon out Yuusuke!"

"Heck Yeah!"

DUN DUN DUN!

Thus, came out the pestiferous Japanese butler known as the Usui Prodigy who was very much. Shirtless.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!" Cried out Mey Rin at the amount of skin he revealed.

Ciel and Sebastian doubled over and fell over their faces, said defeat.

T

"Why da hell are the two of you sitting here when you can have fun in the water like them?" I asked them with my hands on my hips as I gestured the panicking trio who were still petrified by Yuusuke's nude abdomen. Ciel gave me a glare while Sebastian raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I swear Ciel; if you do not change into your swimming suit right now, I'm going to throw you into the water and there'll be nothing Sebastian can do about it"

His eyes narrowed at mine. "Sebastian." He called over. "Prepare my swimsuit" I cheered happily, clapping my hands as I danced like an idiot. I gave both boys a hand, but neither wanted to sacrifice their prides so they stood up themselves. I huffed and walked away, towards Bard who was in the process of building a san barrier to protect himself from Yuusuke's nakedness.

I laughed inside my head. That would be funny if it was actually true. I glanced over to Angela who had been making up with Shiro, who was still wary. They were seated on the picnic mat, and she was still smiling brightly over to me, watching my every move.

Pedophile…

Ile, ile… The right word to say right now because of the situation is-

Stalker…

As Sebastian prepared Ciel for the swim, I dived into the water, startling Finni and Tanaka. The wave brought Tanaka farther away from the shore while Finni jumped backwards in surprise and fell into the water. I looked around in the water. I spotted some fish and corals –I decided to chase the fish around for a while. After chasing some fish, I started my plan!

Plan A; chase fish was a success!

Plan B; Surprise Yuusuke with Partayyyy!

You told nobody excluding Bard about this Partayyyy. How's Phantomhive and Michaelis going to take it? P and M can chill. It's not like we got stuff to lose anyway.

I rose up to the surface and saw Yuusuke chatting away aimlessly with Bard, probably discussing the Shorts Kidnappings. I gee-hee-ed. Why not start the part with a little pa-zazz?

Actually, over breakfast I talked a little with Ash and asked him for -you know- ideas. And he surprisingly came up with good points! One of those points was the Shark Attack! I was gonna put a fake Shark fin strap behind my back and swim around like a shark when I was just pranking peeps. Oh, Ash was devious. Devious and genius! I like it!

So, he helped me out by searching around in Henney-Wenney's attic again. Unexpectedly, he had loads of weird stuff! Heck, I saw a flippin' book titled 'how to sew and knit like a nanny'! It must've belonged to his mother, or sister or even grandmother. Yet, Ash said that he saw Henry reading it just days before we arrived. So, we found one anyway.

LET THE MISSION COMMENCE!

AYE, GENERAL!

After a few seconds, I let my body rise slightly to reveal the fin. However, it didn't seem like any of them noticed it since their feet were still on the sea floor, moving slight every now and then. I grumbled slightly before letting my head touch the surface to get a breath of air. After that, I stuffed my head in the water to swim closer to them.

T

Finni, and Mey Rin were splashing water at each other while Angela sat with Tanaka on a beach mat, completely dry –Tanaka was 100% soaked. So far, Finni was having the upper hand –

Or should I say… stronger hand? Haha! Get it… seriously, silence? *sighs* fine… On with the story

- due to his super strength. Mey Rin was wetter than a dog in the heavy rain. Bard and Yuusuke were busy discussing on how Sebastian was nothing but a pain in the ass when Yuusuke spotted small movements in the water, just a few meters ahead of him. He raised an eyebrow. He moved closer, looking for any other movements.

"Is something wrong, Yuusuke?" Asked Bard who had realized him stopping. He stopped talking as well and joined Yuusuke in looking around. Mey Rin noticed them and raised an eyebroww at the two boys, then suddenly she finally spotted it. Oh… it was just a—

"SHARK!?" She and Finni squealed out when they spotted its greyish fin and ran back towards the shore. Bard and Yuusuke gasped before screaming –with even more girly voices than Mey Rin- out. Yuusuke was already ready to run when Bard suddenly jumped into his arms –still screaming. Then, the shark's movements stopped and remained still. Mey Rin had successfully made it to the shore just as Sebastian and Ciel returned in their swimsuits as ordered by Katie.

"What's happened?" Ciel asked Mey Rin. He had obviously heard their screams from the changing room.

"It's a shark, young master!" She answered. "Oh no! Yuusuke and Bard are in trouble!" She turned quickly to Sebastian. "Do something, Sebastian!" However, the butler was just. Smiling. Innocently.

Ciel looked up at his butler. "Well?" He looked expectantly at him.

Sebastian smiled in assurance at his young master. "Do not worry, Young Master. I am sure that Bard and Yuusuke will be able to handle the 'shark'."

Mey Rin was screaming at Bard and Yuusuke to get out of there, but they were frozen to the spot. Ciel looked back at them in interest. What will they do? He wondered.

The shark then started advancing towards them at a fast pace. Mey Rin covered her eyes with her hands. Finni was aiding Angela who –acted as though she- fainted. Tanaka was… Tanaka. Bard and Yuusuke were screaming their heads off. Ciel narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Sebastian kept quiet as he chuckled inwardly.

4 meters

"This is it!"

3 meters

"I'm sorry for not telling you the truth!

2 meters

"What truth?!"

1 meter

"YOUR SNORING IS SO UNBEARABLE THAT I FEEL LIKE MY EARS ARE GONNA FALL OFF!"

"I SNORE?!"

SPLASH!

The water splashed onto their bodies as they shook in fright with their eyes closed, ready for the beast to chomp them off. But… the pain never came. Instead, they heard laughter; a very familiar and irritating laugh.

They opened their eyes slowly to reveal…

A laughing Katie with a fake shark-fin strapped onto her back.

"HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY YUUSUKE!"

T

"Firstly, it is NOT my birthday" Yuusuke stated, making it clear to me as we all sat down together, eating Yuusuke's Birthday Cake which -Ash is AWESOME- Angela had baked earlier without anyone knowing. It was a coffee cake, one of my favorites! I never knew Ash could be so… so… helpful. Not to mention AWESMAZING. Can we add him in the buddy list? No. Bu- No.

"That's why it's a BELATED Birthday Party!" I clarified with wide grin. I seated in between Bard and Angela. Next to the angel were Mey Rin, then Yuusuke, then Tanaka and Finni. Ciel was seated on the beach chair, and Sebastian hed been sent out on THE errand. I have a feeling he feels powerful looking down at us; I feel something poking my head.

"Speaking of which, when IS your birthday, Yuusuke?" Finni asked out of curiosity. Hey, yeah. Even I didn't know when it was.

"6th August. It's too late even for a Belated Birthday Party" He answered lazily.

"6th August?" I echoed before it finally came to me. "Holy shit! You were born on the day Hiroshima was bombed?!" Yuusuke slapped a palm to my lips.

"It hasn't happened yet, idiot"

I looked up at Ciel who was enjoying the cake. Yuusuke and the others chatted to whatever they were planning on chatting about. "You gonna take a dip?"

Ciel shook his head. "Too troublesome"

Was he turning into Shikamaru (2) or something?

And at the same time...

"They've captured him!" Shouted one of the villagers that ran past the beach with a few other men with him.

"They've caught James' dog!"

Ah, tis' time to go I see.

I stood up, leaving my cake and crumbs on the mat. The others' attention diverted to me, confused. "Why did you stand up? We're not even done with cake." Bard said.

"PUT YOUR CAKE DOWN SON! THIS AIN'T NO TIME FOR CAKES AND GAMES! WHAT ARE YOU, FOUR?" Mostly everyone there sweat dropped at me. Dude, no one wants to hear those words coming out from your mouth. "WE GOT A NATIONAL CRISIS AT OUR HANDS" I spun to meet Ciel. "DON'T YOU GOTTA DO YOUR JOB, GHOST?"

…

"Did you just… call me a… ghost?"

…

"Sorry, that slipped out of my mind. I thought that would sound cooler in my mind."

…

"Baka"

"What does that mean?"

"It means-"

"TO THE DOG THAT WAS ONCE JAMES BOND'S!"

"YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!"

"AWW HELLA YES I DID! WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT THAT, BITCH?"

T

I lied on my bed, dejected and lonely. Because of my harsh words and 'inappropriate behaviour', Ciel refused to bring me along to where they would punish the dog that did a good deed. He also left Bard in charge in order for me not to get away. Aww man, I wanted to go. And I STILL want to go. I curled up in a ball and hugged my pillow.

Gee, thanks a lot, Katie. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!

I get it.

You know, you're SUCH a genius when it comes down to this. WHY DA HECK DID YOU… WHY, MAN?

JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH, GOLD DIGGER!

I sighed. This was so boring. I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!

But Ciel told us not to. And if we're bad, he won't give us chocolate. Fuck that! I'm going! I hoist myself up and prepare myself to leave. The clothes I was currently wearing was probably too indecent. Aww man… If I dress up all appropriately, it'll take too much time! Damn it, what do I do?

I mess up my hair frustratedly, glancing at everything in the room when-

…

"Ohh, that works too"

T

DONG-DING DONG-DING

The bell tolled.

The six arrived at the small half-dome. They all stared in horror as a grey and white dog was beaten before being attacked by five other dogs.

Finni looked horror struck. He saw himself back in the lab and being experimented on. He saw the men in white coats holding him down to inject him with all kinds of drugs. He clasped his hands tightly in front of himself, green eyes wide.

"Stop, you can't do this…" he mumbled, voice shaking.

"STOP HURTING IT!" He screeched.

The four people standing around Finni looked at him in shock as he rushed forward. The strong blonde boy pulled up from the ground one of the stakes used to tie up attack dogs. He sprinted forward, with a determined battle cry, and whacked all of the attack dogs.

An old women screeched before fainting. The villagers caught her, enraged eyes turned towards Finni.

"Finni!" Mey Rin and Yuusuke yelled, running to his aid. Ciel watched Finni intently as the boy embraced the dog. He looked up to see the angered villagers approaching them.

"They got in the way. They interrupted our holy punishment. They're more bad dogs!" Lord Henry proclaimed. He smiled sinisterly as the rest of the townspeople took up chanting, "The white dog is a good dog, a good dog good, a black dog is a bad dog a bad dog a bad dog bad, he'll eat your flesh to the bone, to the bone."

"They're bad dogs!"

"Punish the bad dogs! Punish the bad dogs!"

T

Ciel and Yuusuke were chained up by their wrists to the stone wall. Mey Rin, Finni and Tanaka had been bound to one of the stakes and gagged with cloths in their mouths.

"You look pathetic, Maltese," Lord Henry pointed out. "You too" Yuusuke rolled his eyes. "So, where are the other two? The butler and the bitch?" Ciel scowled at the word he had called Katie.

"Master, I beg you! Please forgive these people!" Angela cried, hands clasped in front of her. Lord Henry turned back to stare at the five people with a sarcastic grin.

"Yes, it's true that this Pomeranian is the Queen's messenger. Depending on what he says, perhaps I'll let him go. Pull out of this village and advise Her Majesty never to touch it again!"

Ciel smiled mockingly.

"You'd go that far to protect your tiny, little kingdom? You're the very definition of obsession" He commented. "Katie would have called you pathetic and desperate... Or, what was that word again?" He pondered.

Yuusuke smirked. "Creeper".

"That's right"

Lord Henry scowled, face twisted in anger. "Then learn for yourself what happens to the bad dogs that defy me!" He yelled. The dogs attacked in a flurry of fur and barks.

The Earl seemed unfazed and unamused. He remained his face stoic and expressionless.

BAM!

Suddenly, a blur seemed to materialize out of nowhere and sent all four dogs flying backwards.

"You're late," Ciel commented lazily, expecting Sebastian when he realized that Sebastian didn't wear a skirt. His eyes widened at the back form of the new body that was hardly recognizable to him. This was a body of a woman; a girl, apparently. She wore a dark blue blazer above a white blouse accompanied by a red tie. She also wore a skirt matching the red tie. A pair black loafers and white socks at her feet, he could see. Who was this person? From the back he could see that she had long teal hair.

She turned around to face him, but could not. Both Yuusuke and Ciel drop their jaws in shock. Who… was this person?

They couldn't see even see her face due to the fact that she had been wearing a mask. A yellow mask with a face of a bird on it. How… peculiar?

"Who are you?" Yuusuke dared to ask.

Hell, even Ciel was curious.

…

"I. Am. CAPTAIN TWEE TWAA MAN!"

…

What kind of name was that?

"AND I AM HERE FOR JUSTICE!"

"You dare interfere, Bird?" Lord Henry bellowed, turning to his dogs. He had to admit; even he and the villagers were fazed by the sudden appearance of a new face. "What're you waiting for? Kill the bird as well!" The dogs growled, readying themselves to pounce once again.

"OH-HO!" She chimed in merrily. "We'll have to see about that!" Once they did, the masked bird hopped into the air, levitating for a few moments as though she was actually planning on flying. Yuusuke watched her in admiration; but to Ciel's eyes he was in love. Reaching into her pockets, she pulled out silverware forks and threw them to the ground where they barely missed the dogs' throats.

The animals halted in shock and shared a look before making a run for it. As though 'The bird is too powerful' was going through their minds.

"Wh-What happened…?" Lord Henry asked.

The bird descended back onto the soiled ground, uninjured whatsoever. 'Light as a feather, I'm the Bake O' Lite girl!' (3) The familiar tune was going through Yuusuke's head that instant.

"Your lies end here, Barrymore!" Twee Twaa interrupted with voice strong and loud. Lord Henry backed away, appalled. "Citizens of this beautiful, beautiful village! There is no such thing as a Dog named Devil! However, I can promise you that there is an old man who is obsessed with nothing but power!" Twee Twaa stated. "And that man," She points to Barrmore. "Is you!"

GASPS!

"Wh-What do you base that on?" Lord Henry exclaimed with eyes wide and face red in fury.

"This," Twee Twaa replied. Lord Henry looked up. "It was in the basement of your manor," She explained, holding up the skull of a dog. "I've already confirmed that the teeth match the marks on James were made by these exact teeth."

The crowd gasped and began to talk hurriedly amongst themselves. Ciel's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Who was this person, and how did she know too much? Could it be that… His eyes widened in realization. Oh, she was in deep trouble now… Twee Twaa raised a hand and pointed to the cloudy sky.

"Behold."

All the villagers stared in shock at the image of the demon dog gleaming in the clouds. "This is the Dog you call Devil's true form. His shadow is nothing but a projection," Twee Twaa declared, watching the villagers silently glance at the projector on the ground. "It's just a transparent trick. The glowing is Phosphor. He merely sprinkled it on a normal dog," She finished, pouring some green, glowing powder into the dirt.

"The Devil Dog is an illusion produced by a single person, and that person is you, Henry Barrymore!"

"N-Nonsense! Where's the proof?" He exclaimed. Twee Twaa snapped her fingers, cross. She walked over to the bloody and badly beaten dog from earlier and kneeled down next to it.

"I am but a humble bird, here to reunite justice." She reached forward and pulled a scrap of fabric from between the dog's jaws. "It's fine cloth," she said, standing. "This is the reason he hung onto it to the last."

Lord Henry stumbled back, aghast.

"Th-That's…"

"Yes. It's a piece of your trousers from when he bit your leg trying to protect James". Lord Henry flinched, jaw clenching. He turned to run and was met with a wall of villagers. They surrounded him, faces clenched in anger.

"So you killed James?"

"There was no Devil Dog?"

"You tricked us!"

"Give it up! You're finished!" Ciel yelled.

One of the villagers pulled up Lord Henry's pants to reveal a large and painful looking dog bite before he was thrown over the shoulders of the same villagers who had followed him so diligently and then carted off towards the prison.

The former glorified lord squawked and screeched, begging them to stop, to put him down. The members of the Phantomhive household group stood watching as Lord Henry was brought to justice by the hands of his own "dogs."

T

The chains binding Ciel fell to the ground with a clang and they both rubbed at their sore wrists. Mey Rin laughed.

"WHO ARE YOU?" Yuusuke couldn't help but ask their masked saviour. Mey Rin and Tanaka piled up around the Captain. Ciel couldn't help but roll his eyes. What idiots...

"I am but a humble bird, as I have mentioned earlier. I am merely here for," She paused for effect. "JUSTICE!" She then jumped into the air and diminished.

"WHOA….." Awed her crowd of admirers. The angel maid had to cover her mouth in order not to blow her cover and laugh out loud. Oh, what was she thinking?! The next second, Sebastian appeared with an amused look on his face.

"You saw?" Ciel asked.

"Yes, and I think she handled it rather well" The Phantomhive Earl rolled his eyes for the last time. Yuusuke still had red cheeks, though. Boy, was HE in love.

Finni walked over to the dead dog lying on the ground and everyone went silent. He kneeled down and stroked its head softly.

"You're an amazing dog. To think you tried to protect your master until the end…"

Finni paused and stared at the dog, tears welling in his eyes. He hugged it close to him, a few drops of water escaping from behind his closed eyelids.

"You worked so hard. You worked so hard," he cried.

Everyone stared at him sadly. Angela had her hands clasped in front of her as always, eyes full of pity. Sebastian's eyes narrowed at the scene before him and he frowned deeply.

"This… is why I hate dogs."

T

She flew in through the window and threw off all her clothes, in a rush to get in bed. Once her clothes were in the suitcase, she climbed into bed and pulled the covers on her head.

As she did so, she was just in time to witness Bard open the door and ensure that Katie was still in her room, unmoving. The door closed softly, awakening the ninja herself. She sat up and grinned down at the mask in her hands.

"Captain Twee Twaa Man, huh?"

T

Wait a second, why didn't we just use Kage Bunshin No Jutsu?

...

You forgot, didn't you?

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Hehe!

T

It was nighttime at the Barrymore castle. Ciel looked out the window of his bedroom. "Case closed, eh?" He mumbled to himself. "Let's leave the village when the rain lets up."

Sebastian blinked once and nodded. "Yes, my Lord."

Ciel rose from the chair he had been seated in ever so comfortably. Heading for his bed, he sat down and waited for Sebastian to get him ready.

"But why Captain Twee Twaa Man?"

"We ARE talking about Miss Katie, sir"

T

I sat and stared. Just stared. Nothing else, I was just staring after all. Sure, it was rude. But still, I had to stare. I sat on the steps of the stairs that led to the dungeons under the Barrymore estate, waiting for Pluto to appear. And yet, something felt awfully strange. The night felt… relaxing. Too relaxing.

I leaned my cheek on my fist and waited stubbornly. Barrymore was peculiarly calm. He wasn't screaming, begging or even pleading to anyone to get him out of his cell. In the anime, he was crying on his knees to leave. But… why not know? I thought taunting him would be fun… but he never made the first move.

I got myself up and decided to ask him a question. I headed towards the cell where it was hardly visible that Barrymore was lying on his back, trying to go to sleep.

"You're awfully calm tonight, Henry" I greeted him casually. He hardly acknowledged my presence, but the irritated look on his face said otherwise. "Aren't you going to beg or even plead to me to get you out of here or something?"

"If I do, would you?" He asked back.

Grinning like a homicidal freak, I shook my head. "Why would I do that? I'd want to taunt you, and make sure you never make it out here alive"

"Exactly. Now go away and shush. I'm sleeping here"

…

"Odd?"

T

"Say what?" I asked, dumbfounded to what Ciel had just said. I woke up this morning, ready to go out on a hunt and befriend Pluto when I find out that this whole time, everyone's been packing to go back to the manor.

"Since the case is solved, we'll be heading back to the manor today. I still have a lot to do, after all" He repeated, standing next to me at his bedroom window as we watched the trio load the luggage onto the carriage. "The case IS solved, right?" He asked me with a pointed look.

I shook my head. "No, no! There really IS a Devil Dog!" Ciel looked at Sebastian, bewildered. The butler shook his head, giving a face that said 'Nuh-uh, the bitch be lying, son'.

"Where is it?" Ciel questioned, ready to send out Sebastian who looked equally ready, cracking his knuckles through his gloves, to attack the so-called-Devil-of-A-Dog.

"No idea!" I answered in full honesty. "But she should know!" I point towards the Barrymore maid who ehh-ed in acknowledgement, a misleading look on her face showed she had no idea what I was babbling about. I grabbed both her sides and looked her in the eyes, serious as shit- WE BE SERIOUS! WHERE IS OUR PLU-PLU, MONSTER?! "Where are you hiding him?!"

"Who do you speak of, Miss Walker?" She questioned, the confusion in her eyes threw me off.

"THE DOG! THE NAKED MAN! PLUTO! PLU-PLU!" I mentioned, angered. "Is Barrymore dead yet? If he is, then it's time for the next scene which is for you to go missing" I gave her a spin and a small push so that she could walk out. "Go! Frolic around in some flower fields or something while you still can. Finnian will look for you later!"

Sebastian, Ciel and Angela had similar expressions as they tried to take in the words I had just shouted with my big mouth. They didn't understand! "Katie, what is this about Henry dying? He's just asleep on his cellar, right?" Angela and Sebastian nodded in reply.

Wait… what?

"That's impossible!" I exclaimed in exasperation. "You don't get it! You brought the Demon Hound, right?" I asked Angela in disbelief. "But… that just doesn't make sense! Why did you even come here, then?"

She smirked coyly. "To monitor you, of course. I couldn't have the demon making the first move" Her eyes met with Sebastian's who glared right back.

"I do not follow; can someone please explain to what the Earl is happening here?" Ciel looked from Angela to me, then to Sebastian, and then repeated the cycle.

Sebastian sighed and bowed to Ciel. "If I may, Young Master," He then stood. "Forgive me for not notifying you of the current situation. Angela Blanc is not in fact a normal Barrymore Maid. She is actually an Angel in her human form. I have known this since we arrived here, Young Master."

…

"So, is that why you were 'all over' Katie the other day?" He emphasized the words which I had no time to deny since I was too busy losing all the colors from my face as Angela smiled politely. "Agh, what a troublesome competition"

"Regardless of how you look at it, I suppose you can say I am competing with the demon for her hand." She professed, and I felt shivers run through my spine. I ain't interested in girls…

"Wait! So you didn't come here for anything else?" I ask again. I knew that this was getting tiring; however I couldn't just let this slide! Wasn't Angela here to ensure that Pluto went along with Ciel so that he could burn the manor? Wasn't that her big scheme and master plan? What happened to that?

"In truth, I came here merely on a whim to monitor you. Can you blame me? A fallen angel doesn't really have much to do during her free time" She said, glancing at me again.

I looked at Ciel. "Are we really leaving?"

"Yes"

"There's no real Demon Hound named Pluto who goes around nude?"

"No" Angela answered that.

"And we can't go out to look for him?"

"No."

Sebastian said strictly. It was obvious that he didn't want that happening, since he didn't like the Angel or this place. He was in a rush to get home and carry out his creepy night activities which I never understood in the first place. I sighed and nod in favor.

"Fine…"

Ciel and I headed downstairs to where Yuusuke and the others had been done loading up all the stuff into the second carriage. The carriage seating was the same as before, but the only difference was that Yuusuke was going to drive the second carriage and let Tanaka rest while Sebastian drove ours. Sebastian wasted no time on getting into the carriage, and I turned to Angela with the smallest smile I could muster up for her.

"Thanks for everything, Angela and Ash. For the mask and the laughs" She smiled back happily.

"Make sure to visit although I won't be here. I'm positive that The Captain Twee Twaa Man Statue will be ready in a few months or so." She replied with a small laugh. It felt good to be on Angela's good side, weird, but good. I have a friend, that meant. I hoped that Grell was a friend as well.

It was odd that Angela didn't come here for Ciel. Was the fire and the big ending not important? It WAS important. I couldn't help but think that the story was a little messed up here.

"I'll always be watching you. So you have nothing to worry or fret about" Patting my head as a form of endearment, I realized that I had taken a liking onto the angel known as the enemy. Yet, I liked that fact.

"Meaning you'll stalk me?" I joked with a carefree smile.

"Come along, Katie. No time must be wasted with that Angel" Ciel ushered, uncomfortable with the fact that Finni was throwing hearts all over the estate. I nodded and climb up the carriage.

"Miss Walker, aren't you forgetting something?" She chided.

Eh? Did I forget something? Pluto! We forgot Pluto! Darth Vader sobbed in devastation. Why didn't you come, Plu-Plu? I wanted to hug that naked body of yours! And play with that beautiful hair of yours! Oh, why? Why is life so unfair? WHYYYYYYYYYYYY? Setting her on mute, I quizzically cupped my face in wonder.

BARK!

"SHIRO!" Yuusuke and I exclaim in glee. I forgot about Shiro-chan! How could I forget about that little cutie?

The little pup came running out from the door and set off towards us. I turned to Ciel who held a sour look. "Can we keep him?"

He was about to say no when he noticed the uncomfortable expression Sebastian had been trying to hide. I grinned in mischief, getting an idea before whispering into Ciel's ear. "Don't you want to see Sebby's weak side?"

Ciel looked uncertain now, would he risk his major dislike of dogs or would he risk the fact that he could see Sebastian's uncomfortable side? Shiro climbed up into the Servant Carriage and attacked Yuusuke with loving kisses and licks. Aww… I couldn't help but squeal at the sight of the boy who thought he couldn't get along and the puppy that continuously showered him with love. That is so cute… Ciel watched the smile of mine form on my lips, blushing slightly. He sighed, as if having no choice.

"Hn"

"YATTA!" I screamed out in joy and leapt out to attack Ciel with a hug. He shifted in discomfort, groaning every now and then but gave in easily. Soon enough, his arms meet my waist and he's hugging me back.

"Ciel's hugging me~! He he~" I giggled like a little girl who couldn't keep her excitement inside. "Ciel's hugging me! YAY! YAY!"

WHACK!

"You'll get me death, idiot"

"Gomen Nasai…"

T

Ha… Yeah… That happened, huh? Do not worry! Pluto is definitely going to be in this story! He'll appear just as awesome!

Funny story how Captain Twee Twaa Man became a character. There's this manga called Oresama Teacher, and it's about this girl who used to be a yankee but now just wants to be a normal girl. But when she's pushed into situations where she must fight to protect her friends, she wears a bunny mask and becomes… DUN DUN DUN DUN! USA CHAN MAN!

So… yeah…

Yuusuke's Captain Twee Twaa Man's Number #1 follower, apparently. HAHA

Why Captain Twee Twaa Man? Well, when I was a baby, I couldn't pronounce tweet probably. So, I kept saying Twee Twaa. And that's how it goes!

So… here be the references…

Jackie Chan (1) Who doesn't know him? He's awesome!

Shikamaru (2) Naruto Character who is lazy and finds most things troublesome. The only person who sleeps in class yet the only person who passes the Chunnin Exams on his first try

Light as a feather, I'm the Bake O' Lite Girl (3) From the movie Wallace and Gromit; A matter of loaf and death!
