Izaya smiled widely and made his way to the front door but something crimson caught his eye. It was beautiful. Roses lined the bush to the left of him and green leaves sprouted from the sides.

He turned to the left and his luggage remained behind. He slowly walked into the breathtaking garden and looked around. There were more bushes and trees that lined the walkway. There was a fountain in the middle of the courtyard and a lookout point by the back of the garden that overlooked a small lake.

Izaya walked through the luxurious garden and smiled at the light breeze that swept through his hair. He touched a small rose petal, running the tip of his finger across it. It was soft and a drop of water fell off of it.

Meanwhile Finny was in the garden as well. He finished trimming a small hedge and looked up at the blazing sun. He stood up and wiped his forehead with the back of his gloved hand. Suddenly he spotted movement from the corner of his eye. Looking to his right, he spotted a complete stranger and thought he could be a potential intruder who has come to injure the young lord.

Finny ran towards the stranger and tackled him around his waist. The intruder let out a surprised noise and fell onto his knees.

Izaya turned to Finny and looked at him. "That hurt!" he rubbed his sides.

"Sorry…but who are you and why have you trespassed?" Finny asked skeptically.

Izaya finally turned to the other male and smiled at the childish looking man, holding his hand out. "My name is Orihara Izaya. Pleasure to meet you…uh…"

"Finny…" he completed for him. He looked over the man. "You look like Sebastian…" he trailed off.

At the name of Sebastian, Izaya smiled. "Is he home? I came to visit him actually."

"Uh…no. He went out with the young lord to do something."

"I see. May I wait for him then? I won't cause any trouble."

"I guess so but I hope you understand for security reasons I have to monitor you…"

The informant didn't understand how someone so frail could be a bodyguard but he complied. "Alright. Anyways do you look after this garden? It's beautiful really…"

"Th-thank you! Yes I do! Sebastian gave me this job!"

Suddenly a small explosion sounded from the mansion. Izaya jumped slightly and Finny only sighed. "W-what was that?!" the brunette exclaimed.

"That…was Bard, the chef. He just blew up dinner."

Izaya raised an eyebrow. "The chef blew up the kitchen and dinner?"

Finny only smiled sheepishly. Izaya grinned. "May I go inside then?"

"O-of course!" Finny led the crimson eyed man into the giant mansion.

"It's bigger inside than I would have imagined." He smiled slightly.

They both walked to the kitchen and Mey-Rin, Bard, and Tanaka were there surveying the broken kitchen and panicking.

"AAAHHH Sebastian is going to murder me!" Bard panicked, running around. "I only thought a flamethrower was faster to cook this meal!"

Mey-Rin was running around and picking up dishes, putting them back in their places. She tripped and Izaya caught her.

"Are you ok?" he looked at the maid concerned. Mistaking Izaya for Sebastian, she got up quickly, flustered and blushing.

"Sebastian we're so sorry!" Bard and Mey-Rin chorused.

The informant chuckled, amused at the mistake. "Sorry. But I think you're going to have to apologize to the real Sebastian later."

"Eeeh!? You're not Sebastian-sama!" Mey-Rin exclaimed.

He shook his head slightly. "Sorry to disappoint you but I came here to visit him."

Bard looked over him suspiciously. "Why is that? Who are you?"

"My name is Orihara Izaya. And I suggest instead of interrogating me, we should clean before Sebastian becomes angry."

"He's right!" Finny said. "Let's clean! Orihara-san you must remain here! I apologize!"

"No problem. I'll assist." He started picking up miscellaneous items and fixing them up or just discarding them properly.

"You don't have to!" the three told him. Izaya simply continued.

They shrugged and started working. Soon the kitchen was sparkling again. "But what can I make? Sebastian is going to kill me!"

"Do you have lamb?" Izaya asked curiously.

"Um…yes we do. Why?"

"I can make Roasted Lamb and if you have custard, then a custard pie for dessert." He said smiling.

They gaped at the brunette. "You can cook?" Bard exclaimed.

Izaya nodded and clasped his hands together. "Shall we begin?"

After around two hours, the food was prepared to perfection. The lamb had a small amount of gravy on it and the plate was lined with sautéed carrots and cabbage. There was a roll of freshly baked bread on the side and butter in a small plate. The dessert was made to perfection as well with a small whipped cream dot at the top.

"Whaaa!" Mey-Rin and Finny marveled at the food. "It looks so good!"

Izaya smiled. "May I use your washroom? I need to clean up." He said, pointing at the small amounts of food on his hands and shirt.

"I shall show you the way." Tanaka said, into his original form.

Tanaka led Izaya to the nearest washroom and while he was washing his face, the maid, cook, and gardener talked.

"He's so nice! He looks so much like Sebastian!" Mey-Rin fawned.

"He cooks better than Bard!" Finny laughed.

"Shut up! An honest mistake!" Bard barked. "Why is he here to see Sebastian anyways? Who is he to Sebastian?"

"I don't know but I'm sure we'll find out soon!" Mey-Rin said excitedly. The three beamed at Izaya as he walked back in.

"I made extra food for you guys as well." The brunette said, motioning to the extra portion.

The three servants tackled Izaya full force, resulting in them all falling.

"You're awesome!" they yelled happily.

"I'm glad you think so but may I please breathe?" he wheezed.

They helped Izaya up and the thin man turned to Bard. "You can take credit for dinner, Bard." Izaya offered.

Tears welled up in Bard's eyes. "You're so kind Izaya-san!"

"Just Izaya please. And it's nothing! I don't mind helping."

'Is this what friendship is really like…?' he thought. 'It's…nice…'

"Izaya?" finny waved his hand in front of Izaya's face.

"Oh sorry. I was lost in my thoughts," he played off. "Can you four do me a favor? When Sebastian comes home with the young lord, can you pretend I'm not here?"

"Why?" Mey-Rin asked. "I thought you wanted to meet him!"

"I do but in a while. Please?"

Bard sighed and patted Izaya's shoulder. "Fine, fine. Just come out soon alright?"

The informant smiled and thanked the three while Mey-Rin had a silent nosebleed.

Meanwhile the doors the mansion opened and in walked in the young lord and Sebastian.

"Sebastian. I'm hungry. Make something adequate and call me when you're ready."

"Yes, my lord." He made walked to the kitchen where all four of the Phantomhive servants were talking. Izaya had made his way back into the garden.

'Dinner will take a while…' Sebastian sighed.

What he didn't expect was to see the food completely prepared and professional looking, sitting on the table and waiting.

"Bard?" Sebastian asked. "You made this?"

The four looked up at Sebastian. "You're back!" they smiled.

"Yeah! I made it! And the kitchen isn't even broken!" he smiled giddily.

Sebastian was a little shocked but he smiled slightly in amusement. "I see…I'll get the young lord."

Sebastian went back to Ciel still trying to wrap his head around it.

"Bocchan. Dinner is ready." He knocked on Ciel's study door.

"Already? That was fast."

"Yes. Apparently Bard actually made something edible and the kitchen wasn't even scathed."

Ciel opened the door and looked at Sebastian in surprise. "I see…" he walked to the dining room and sat down at the lengthy table.

When the food was served, Ciel looked at it skeptically but took a bite. His eyes widened and he looked at Bard.

"It's just as good as Sebastian's! How did you manage that?"

At Ciel's comment, Sebastian glared slightly at Bard. There's no way Bard could have done this!

Bard simply grinned at his 'accomplishment.' "A secret." He said.

As Ciel ate, Sebastian turned to pour some tea for him. At that moment Izaya opened the door and walked in. Thinking Izaya was an intruder, Ciel's gaze hardened at the man.

"Sebastian!"

Sensing there was another presence, Sebastian didn't even turn to see who it was and didn't hesitate to throw a butter knife straight at Izaya at blinding speed. Sebastian turned his guard up in case of an attack and grabbed the young lord, shielding him just in case.

Mey-Rin, Bard, Finny, and Tanaka panicked and shouted.

But Izaya matched Sebastian's speed and he whipped a spare blade out and threw it to intercept the meager butter knife.

The weapons clashed in midair and clattered to the floor harmlessly.

Ciel was thoroughly surprised that someone could deflect Sebastian's weapon and even match his speed.

Sebastian looked over at the intruder and his guard dropped completely and he wasn't tensed. Ciel was apprehensive and looked at the demon butler who was smiling at the intruder.

"Geez, Sebastian! Is this a habit or something? You tried to impale me with a butter knife last time I visited you! Is this any way to treat your younger brother?!"

"EEEEEEHHHHHH?!"
