I do read all of your reviews, by the way. Thank you all for the kind words you have shared with me.
Thanks for more than 5,000 views! I can't believe so many people have even given this story a chance, 'cause the first chapter sucks!
Two weeks later
"Bye, little lord."
Ciel nods in acknowledgement "Sebastian will be staying with you for the time being. Don't do anything stupid, though I know how difficult that may be for you."
"I don't know what you're talking about." she turns her nose up at him with false haughtiness.
"Sebastian," the young boy waves over his butler lazily, "Pack the bags. I don't trust the crew." he stares suspiciously at the rough-looking people "A punch of pirates, if you ask me- not even a proper staff." he mutters.
"I have hired only the best of the best to guarantee your safe passage, young master. Traveling with Sienna would be wisest, but..."
The earl scowled, "Stop looking down on me, Sebastian. Do as I say."
"Yes, my lord." the demon left to follow orders.
"Look, Ciel," he stops, recognizing the somber undertone in her voice "There's a new enemy on the loose in London. Take care of yourself and... do what you can to keep madam red alive, please. I like her, and I know you'll regret her death. Just...do what makes happy, not what is best to fulfill your revenge. Revenge won't bring back your p-"
"I will do whatever I wish, I am the lord of Phantomhive, after all." his voice raises "And you cannot so callously mention revenge when you have never even experienced the-"
She interrupts, "No, no, no, you don't get to pull either of those cards on me. I am an angel, Ciel; you're just a little human. A weak one, at that. You think revenge is all that's left for you, and you don't even take the time to think about Lizzy, or me, or-Hell, even Sebastian, 'cause we all know he has a soft spot for you. And do you know why you don't think of those things, those people who care about you? Who you care about? It's because you're to weak to handle this! Too young, too innoc-!"
"Too, what? Too innocent? I was tortured and caged, for God's sake! You don't get to tell me wha-"
"Yes, I do! Didn't you ever stop to think about those around you? How this would affect them? Did you think for one second that I knew what you were going through? I'm from the opposite sides of the world! Did you think it was rainbows and sunshine all the time?! NO! IT WASN'T!" people look over at the shouts, causing Sienna to sigh. "I don't want you to leave on bad terms. That does more harm than good. Okay?"
The boy nods, his anger far from diminished. He had to look at the situation logically, that was the only way he would benefit. Despite being a demon/angel, she was still surrounded by humans, maybe even raised as one. That had to account for something, right? "What about this new enemy in England?"
Sienna smiled, knowing he was already semi-over-it. Phantomhives were always like that. Must be one from one of the humans of the family.
Sebastian approaches the boy "I have completed my task, young master. Is there anything more you would like me to do?"
"No." he stormed, though it could hardly be called that. It was more like walking away aggressively with his butler looking worriedly after him.
"Don't worry about him, he's just throwing a little fit, is all. He's already over it, but he's in too deep to get out."
"Ah, yes, I do recall reading a psychology book focusing on the behavior of children when-"
"I get it, dude, you're all smart and experienced and you think you're better than I am," she sighed "No need to rub it in."
The demon look extremely confused "I'm sorry if you believe I insulted you, that was not my intention." he mutters under his breath "Women are so confusing."
"Excuse me?" Sebastian looked like a deer caught in head lights as she said that. Soon, she busted into raucous laughter "I- hahahaha- You -hahaha -you should have seen your face- hahahahahahahaha! Oh, my gosh," Sienna quieted down a bit "I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I forgot how funny demons could be..."
"Yes..." he looked extremely uncomfortable when she placed a hand on his arm without thinking. They were in public, and it would ruin the Phantomhive reputation if she was seen touching a butler as she was. Consequently, Sebastian would -ironically- be put through hell by Ciel.
"You're such a prude, Belle."
"Belle?"
"Yeah! From Ubel. That is your middle name, right? Anyways," she continues "I first thought it was pronounces 'oo-bell' , 'cause I don't know German, and then I just started referring to it as 'bell', like church bells, but then I made it 'Belle' for the Disney princess. You sort of remind me of her when you read."
"Right..."
Her smile falters. "Your middle name is Ubel, right?"
"Correct. May I ask how you got your hands on that specific piece of information?"
"Sure."an awkward silence followed "Aren't you going to ask me?
"I though the first question implied that I was asking." said Sebastian.
The woman sighed "No...It didn't. All you asked was if you could ask me how I got it, but you didn't actually ask me that."
"Yes...You are quite abrupt, aren't you? You change topic so easily, almost as if you're used to hiding something in every conversation."
Sienna pats his back "Don't over analyze it, it'll only make even less sense.."
"Of course, my apologies, Lady Sienna."
"Right, well, I'll be going. I want some chocolate milk"
"Chocolate milk?"
"Yes, I just said that, keep up already." she turns around, heading closer to the ship, where Ciel was waiting. "Oh, and you were right."
"About?"
She doesn't answer.
She barrels toward him, gripping him in a bone-crushing hug. "You know, I wasn't lying when I said I'd miss you."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think you've earned my trust when you lied about who you where, insulted not only myself, but the Phantomhive name." Ciel spat sarcastically.
"Phantomhive name...? What the hell are you talking about."
He scoffed, "Don't think I didn't see you with Sebastian. It's an insult for you to even think of fraternizing with a butler as a lady of such high status."
"Awwww..." she pats his cheek "I didn't think you were still hung up on that. I saw you glaring at him earlier, but I thought you'd be over it by now. Man, you sure can hold a grudge...wait...are you jealous?" Ciel's cheeks flushed red "Don't worry, you'll always be my favorite human." she booped him on the nose. "Now, off you go!" she ushered him onto the ship, giving him a final hug and kiss on the forehead. "And don't even think of telling Sebastian to report my movements to you. That's right," she said when his eyes widened "I know. Don't think I'm one of your ignorant victims, Little Lord."
"I didn't think of you as that." mumbled the boy. In fact, he almost started to see her as a sort of parental figure, along with Sebastian. Of course, he would never admit it, even though he was pretty sure both of them already knew it.
Sienna started to retreat, waving as she walked backwards.
"Farewell, Young Master, have a good trip." Sebastian piped up.
Ciel nodded as the crew lifted the anchor, the captain shouting orders. Though they couldn't hear it, the boy whispered under his breath "I doubt I will, what with my only company being pirates."
"I'm turning into an old lady, I mean, 'off you go!'? You!" she spun on Sebastian "You're influencing me! Stop it"
"Why, I have no idea what you are talking about." he really didn't, but just to see her angry he spoke condescendingly.
Her eyes narrowed, then two fingers pointed at them, then him "I'm watching you."
"Of course, I'd expect nothing less from a Phantomhive. It is your job to manage the servants, after all." Sebastian smiled charmingly "Oh, and, Lady Sienna, I have that chocolate milk you requested earlier. Would you still like to drink it?"
"Sure, but hurry up next time."
He smiled. There it was. That royalty-like behavior she was designed to have. Designed to perfectly suit his own character.
"Of course, Lady Sienna Phantomhive."
"Stop with the whole 'Lady Sienna' thing and, also, my last name is Satan, not Phantomhive."
He smiled at her subtle reminder of her power "My apologies, may I ask what you would like for me to refer to you as?"
"Just Sienna is fine."
Crappy, I know, but I don't know what to write. If I had writer's block before, I have an iron wall in front of me now. I have no clue where this story will be going, even though I has a plan earlier. I might just think up a new direction for the story, then add parts from the original plot to help it move smoothly. Right about now, it's still pretty choppy with all the time jumps.
Also, I might add an actual chess match between Sienna and Ciel, because in a review on earlier chapters, I discovered that a viewer was looking forward to one, only for the scene not to be shown.
I know I've mentioned this plenty of times before, but I would like to write another story, this time for SnK (I already have MANY more stories planned for Black Butler. Also, I'm not sure how to request a category to add to the website, and I want to write a fanfiction for a book that doesn't have one (category) on here.
I'm getting more serious about my art...so... yeah. I was given 18 copic markers for my birthday, which I'm very thankful for, as they can be very pricey (Good thing they were on sale!). I also bought (with my own money) copic multiliners. I was going to buy cheaper ones, but when I looked them up on Amazon, they were only rated 1 out of 5 stars, so I chose to buy the nicer, but more expensive ones. Good thing is that I used coupon to get 40% off!
I'm almost done learning hiragana (not including ten tens and combinations.)... I'm not very good at memorising them, so I'm probably going to make flash cards to remember them, then I'll move onto katakana (making flashcards if it worked for me before. I think that flashcards will be the best way for me to learn. I used it to study for art UIL and it seemed to help a lot). Then, I'll probably learn some vocabulary, grammar, more grammar, and eventually kanji (in that order). I'm practically already an expert at honorifics because of anime.
DO MOST OF YOU WEAR GLASSES, TOO? IN MY EXPERIENCE, READING SUBTITLES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WATCHING ANIME CAN BE QUITE DAMAGING TO THE EYES, SO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU EXPERIENCE THE SAME PAIN AS ME.
I should probably start a blog for this stuff. I write too much on here, and I know it probably annoys you guys. I'm sorry!
P.S. Please participate in the poll in my profile to vote for the next book I'll write (for SnK). Sorry, but I just can't decide.
Thanks again!
