My Wonderful Master, Alois
Dogs!: Demon Hound
The morning after the ball, Master was very upset. He was shouting and throwing things.
"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HE COME?! I SPECIFICALLY SAID I WANTED HIM TO BE THERE! HE RECEIVED AN INVITATION DID HE NOT?!"
"He did your highness." Claud was calm as always, just standing there letting Master et his anger out.
"THEN WHY DIDN'T HE COME?!"
We were in the dining room, Master throwing plates of food, Hannah and the Triplets were standing off to the side, trying to avoid Master's wrath. I was once again on the chandelier, enjoying some shrimp I managed to swipe. Master threw the pitcher of milk that was on the table, shattering it to pieces. He stared at the spilled liquid before shouting.
"VENUS COME HERE! NOW!"
I immediately climbed down, having to jump on the table, and came to Master's side.
"Yes master?"
He raised his hand as if to slap me, but instead, he started to pet me.
"Why is it, whenever I'm upset or angry, petting you seems to calm me down? Hannah!" The maid stepped up to Master's call.
"Yes your highness?"
"I want you and the triplets to clean this mess up. I expect it to be spotless upon my return."
This time Claud spoke up. "Your highness?"
Master became happy and cheerful once again as he addressed his butler.
"Get the carriage ready Claud, we're going to pay a visit to Phantomhive!~"
~*THE PHANTOMHIVE MANOR*~
I sat by Master's feet in the carriage, making sure my scent is on him. He would occasionally stroke my hair, or scratch behind my ear, each time was received with a loud purr of appreciation. The bell on my collar would sound every once in a while, so the ride wasn't too quiet. Pretty soon the carriage stopped. I looked out the window to see a nice manor directly outside. It was nice, and pretty big, but it was nowhere near as wonderful and big as Master's. In fact, it seemed rather small.
"It's so small, Master."
Master seemed to enjoy my comment and started to laugh.
Claud had opened the door to find Master rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically.
"Miss Venus, why is his highness in this state?"
I could only shrug. "I don't know, all I said was that the house was so small and Master started laughing."
Claud looked at me for a moment before he smirked. "I see. Your highness? Do you need a minute to compose yourself?"
By this time Master was calmed down enough. "No Claud, I'm quite alright." Master stood up and jumped out of the carriage. I followed after him to the front doors, where Claud knocked loudly. Pretty soon one of the giant doors opened, and a man as tall as Claud appeared. He was dressed similar to Claud, but there were some slight differences. He had raven black hair that hung around his face and he smiled nicely.
"Ah, if it isn't the Earl Trancy. What a wonderful surprise." He said warmly, though it seemed to me to be a little fake.
"Hello Sebastian. I came to see Ciel. Is he busy at the moment?"
Before the man named Sebastian could answer, a voice from inside spoke.
"Sebastian, who is it?"
"It's Lord Trancy, master." I could hear a very loud sigh.
"Fine let them in."
Sebastian stepped aside to let us through, Alois dragging me along with Claud walking behind. Once inside I saw a man with blue hair who looked about Master's age. He had an eye patch over his right eye, his other a brilliant deep shade of blue. He wore a blue suit and held a walking stick.
"Ciel! It's good to see you!"
"Hello Alois. Why are you here?" He seemed a little annoyed.
"I was hoping you would show up to my ball, but you never did. Why is that?"
"I was busy."
Master didn't like his answer and started to fume. I nudged his shoulder with my nose and he seemed to calm down a bit. He started petting me as he continued to talk.
"Fine."
The man and his butler finally noticed my presence. They both stared at me in amazement. Master noticed and giggled.
"Ciel, since you were too busy to come to my ball, you didn't get to meet my darling new pet! Ciel, this is Venus. Venus this is my good friend Ciel."
"Oh you mean the one Elizabeth is the fiancé to?"
"Yep! The very same!~"
I perked up knowing I remembered right. I turned to Master's friend Ciel, who just looked at me shocked.
"May I smell you so I can learn your scent please?" His expression changed to that of confusion, along with his butler.
"What?"
Master spoke up. "Just hold out your hand. You too Sebastian."
Ciel reluctantly held out his hand. I began to smell it. He smelled like rain with a bit of custard. This is Ciel.
I went over to the butler named Sebastian, he had his hand out so I sniffed it. I was confused. I started to sniff up his arm, eventually I was circling him trying to make sure I was smelling him right. I walked over to Master, terribly confused.
"Master, I'm so confused! He smells like Claud! But he's not Claud!"
Master seemed confused as well.
"What? Claud is that even possible?" Master was looking at Claud, who also had a look of confusion on his face.
"I'm not sure your highness, perhaps it's because we're both demons."
I shook my head. "No that's not it. Because you smell nothing like Hannah or the Triplets."
Master turned to me. "Well, is there any differences in the smell?"
I went back to the Fake Claud and started sniffing him again. There was something there that didn't belong. I went over to Claud to see if I could figure it out. Everything smelled right on him so I went back to the Fake Claud. I sniffed a few more times when I finally figured it out. He smells like chocolate. I perked up knowing I found a difference between the two Clauds. This is Chocolate Claud.
I went over to Master to tell him my discovery. "Master! He's a chocolate Claud!"
Master immediately burst with laughter. Claud was smirking, holding in his laugh, and Ciel was snickering. The only one who wasn't amused was Chocolate Claud. He seemed a little annoyed.
All of a sudden I smelled something in the air, danger. I started looking around, eyes darting everywhere. I kept sniffing the air to see if I could pinpoint the direction it's coming from. Then I heard it, the most frightening sound in the world: a bark. I turned my head in the direction of the terrible sound and saw a man in a suit, with white hair sitting like a dog. He started sniffing the air, then started to growl as he looked at me. I started to get scared. He barked loudly and charged. I ran away in the opposite direction, yowling at the top of my lungs.
I was running down endless hallways, chased in and out of rooms, knocking things over, trying to get away. I thru some double doors and saw to my delight a chandelier I can climb upon, out of reach of the wretched creature. Once I was seated safely on the fixture, I started hissing and growling at the mongrel.
*Hiiiiiiss* "LEAVE ME ALONE!" *Hiiiiss* Mmmrrroooowww* Hiiiiiss* "FILTHY DOG!" *Hiiiss*
Pretty soon I heard voices coming from the hall.
"This is your fault Phantomhive!" Master.
"My fault? You're the one who brought that cat girl here!" Ciel.
Claud came in the room, Chocolate Claud right behind him.
"Your highness, she's in here!"
Master came in with Ciel.
"GET YOUR FILTHY MUTT AWAY FROM MY LITTLE VENUS!"
*Hiiiiiss* MrrRRooOOWwww* Hiiiiss* I swiped my claws at the mangy thing with every hiss. *Hiiiss* Swipe!
"Arrk!" Ha! Direct hit!
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" Apparently he doesn't learn well.
*Hiiiiiss* Swipe!
"AAAR!" There that should do it. He doesn't growl or jump up anymore. I looked to see Chocolate Claud holding him down, along with someone else I haven't seen before.
"Finny, take Pluto outside." Chocolate Claud ordered the new person named Finny.
"Yes Sebastian!" The man named Finny dragged the stupid mutt away.
As soon as they left, I heard the sweet sound of my Master.
"Venus, my precious, it's safe to come down now. That dirty mutt won't hurt you." Even though he was reassuring I still didn't want to come down. Claud turned to Chocolate Claud and whispered something in his ear. Chocolate Claud nodded and left.
"Don't worry your highness we'll get here down in a minute. Why don't you and Lord Phantomhive go and have a game of chess, lunch will be served shortly."
Master hesitated before nodding. He and Ciel walked out of the room. A few minutes later, a man with dark blonde hair came in. He looked like a chef of some sort, only he had goggles around his neck and was smoking a cigarette. He was carrying a bowl filled with...I jumped do immediately and grabbed the bowl from him, drinking the delicious milk.
So delicious!
