I do not own Black Butler. At all.


Previously:


"No, it wasn't!" He shouted, his voice suddenly filling with emotion.

I felt something wet on my neck. I pushed away, startled, staring at his face.

My eyes widened. I managed to make him cry a bit.

He bit his lip as he blushed, his arms still trapping me.

Then I smiled and laughed as I realized something.

Even the evilest out of the demons have feelings.

Even someone as stoic as him can cry.

I laughed heartily, feeling as if I had found one of the 'Seven Wonders' on

Earth. Then everything went black.


Current time:


Lexi's POV: In Her Dream [Flashback]

I wailed as I held her limp body, still, and very unnerving. Tears spilled from my eyes and fell helplessly onto her once perfect, yellow-stardust dress, now stained with both blood and my tears. I slowly let her body drop from my arms, onto the bright green grass. She looked peaceful while in a sleeping form, but something about it made my stomach churn- not the good type when you see someone you like, but the type when you feel like you've done something terribly wrong.

I stopped my sobbing when I saw her birthmark, being on her right side of her neck. It was a diamond-like shape with what looked like a small, 4-pointed crown in the diamond shape. Mine was much, much more different. It was a circle (which reminds me of a full moon) and what looks like a key coming out from the sides. I narrowed my eyes. "Birthmarks are usually brown, aren't they? ...So why is her's glowing white..?" I asked myself, totally unsure if this was normal. Then I remembered what I was going to tell Mutti.

I have to run in the house and tell my parents, I told myself as I turned back and began running. But I couldn't run. Something was pulling me back, making me feel paralyzed. When I blinked, some black shadows were blocking almost all of my vision. I was frightened. I felt my eyes going wide as I heard what seemed to be the dark shadows talk to me.

"It's your fault..." one muttered, the voice almost demonic.

"Yes, yes! It was! You wanted this! Envy has swindled with your mind!" another one laughed, the voice being one of a woman's.

"Swindled? You mean... tricked?" I innocently asked, not knowing a wide vocabulary.

"Yes, yes! Young one- little Alexis... No, little Lilith," the woman corrected herself, "the human-counterpart of Lilith... or could I say," she paused to add a dramatic effect which indeed had worked, " Envy herself?"

"It is very much your fault that she died, Little Lili,th" the other said,"if only you hadn't envied her so much, she would still be alive, talking to you about how beautiful the story you'd given her was."

I stiffened. Inwardly, I bombarded myself with questions, playing a small game of 'Who, What, Where and Why?'. They were blaming this accident on me? How do they know my middle name? Who's "Envy"? What are these shadows? Where did they come from, and most importantly, why do I sense so much dark from these beings?

"Yes, yes! William," the woman began, "kill her!"

I gasped. First they tell me all these things, and now they want to kill me? I tried to back away, but my body wouldn't move. Oh God, please help!I was absolutely terrified and filled with rage as they engulfed me in black and as I saw a familiar knife with an olive green handle. I then noticed that the knife had what seemed to be Latin words engraved in it.

"Say your prayers, little girl!" The male- or could I say William hissed.

I was still paralyzed by the time I saw the knife get raised up by a shadow,which I assumed was William. I felt my heartbeat quicken as I realized that within a matter of seconds, I wouldn't be alive. I tried my best to move, trying with all my might to get out of this situation by trying to pull my arms back.

However, my effort was futile. The knife launched at me as I cried, knowing then that I hadn't been the person I wanted to be while I was alive. "NO!" I shouted. But it wasn't my voice. The voice was someone else's.

"Shit, she's already gotten in her..." William growled silently, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Yes, yes! Go William, kill her! Just kill her before anything happens to us!" The woman shrieked.

"Marcia, Envy is the queen! I can't ju-" William started.

I felt something in my churn, and as if I suddenly gained enough power to move, I moved to them. "Why are you moving to them!" My own voice screamed inwardly. I didn't want to, but my body moved on it's own.

I felt a sharp pain surge through my body. My bones felt like they were growing, and it was painful!

"Marcia, back up! We have to run!" William shouted.

I suddenly leaped up, my left arm turning into what seemed to be a humungous fist covered by crow feathers, the fist looking like talons. "Enter Limbo," I said against my will. The voice was not mine, it was one of a mature woman's. With that, I slammed all my power to my fist as I landed on them, a dark trail of black crow-like feathers outlined in red following me. Colors of the fire bursted out from the impact of my fist, making the feathers fly everywhere.

With a scream of anguish, the dark around me began to dissolve back into the normal world. I lifted my crow-like fist off the ground it landed on.


I woke up with a start, my heart racing. That wasn't me. Why- more importantly, what did those dark shadows?

Then I realized that I was no longer in my room. Just like that, I remembered every single detail of what had happened to me before I blacked out. I blushed and opened my palms in front of me, shoving my face in them. Had I really? Seriously, Lexi? Why'd you tell the truth?

"Don't stoop down so low for someone already dead…" what seemed to be an already awake Envy said with a hint of malicious intent.

"Calm yourself." I firmly said, feeling my heart droop. How long has it been since she died anyway?

"And 'Schneewittchen', my lady with fair white skin awakes." I heard a tired voice say from beside me.

I snapped my head to the direction of the voice and felt heat rise to my face. My thoughts of the voice being Ciel were confirmed when my gaze turned to him. He was sitting on his chair like the first day I saw him. The boy was no longer in his bed clothes, he was now in a full olive suit, save for his white , long sleeved shirt tucked underneath his olive blazer. Might I add he looks good? Well, it's not like it's unusual for him to look good… Now if only his attitude wa-

"Get dressed and ready yourself. We have a guest coming. It's already noon, might I add. You sleep far too long." He said, his face cold with no emotion as he said every word.

See what I mean? If only his attitude—wait a sec.

The nickname he called me dawned on me. I tilted my head up and looked at him from the corner of my eyes. "Schneewittchen?" I almost choked, my voice heavy with a German accent. "How do you even..?"

"I have my resources," he smirked before standing up, "now get out of my bed."

"Rui…" I whispered darkly, moving my way out of his bed until I realized that I only wore my silky white shirt. I had taken my pants of when I tried to get into my maid uniform. I was speechless. What the hell do I do now?

"Can't do that." I simply said, staying put.

"Why not?" Ciel questioned, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I have no –umm, pants on." I awkwardly murmured.

"Excuse me?" he said, narrowing his eyes, trying to figure out if he had heard that right.

"Me. Have. No. Pants. Bitch." I caveman talked, hoping he'd understand.

"I could've sworn I saw you wear something white while you—interrupted my sleep." He rose an eyebrow suspiciously.

Now it was my turn to be suspicious. What did he see that was white- other than my shirt, I mean. Then something clicked. My eyes were half widened as my mouth stood agape. My face then turned crimson. "Ciel," I gulped, "I assure you that those were not my pants but my undergarments –"I blushed before glaring at his now flushed face, "now will you please fetch Rui and ask her to bring me my uniform?" I snapped.

Ciel looked away before sighing, "Sebas—"

"Oh hell no! I do not trust him with my uniform for he might be a pervert and smell it." I firmly stated, disgust clear in my tone.

"Rui is still asleep." Ciel coldly stated. "It's either Sebastian or one of the three hooligans."

"Ugh, rude!" I pouted, crossing my arms, "Who are these 'three hooligans' and I prefer Sebastian as of now." I asked, slightly confused.

I thought we were the only ones in this mansion—we being Rui, Ciel, Sebastian and I! Oh, but then again, there was that one maid I saw. Ew, there's more? My thoughts trained on further until Sebastian politely knocked on the door.

"Come in," Ciel smirked, seeing as his butler opened the door and walked in.

"Way to cat walk, Sebastian." I cheered with fake enthusiasm, letting my sarcasm drip into every single word I said.

"I do love cats," Sebastian smirked as he placed down-!?

"What the hell! That is not my uniform." I exclaimed in surprise as I saw the purple cloth with black lacing fall to the bed.

"It isn't," Sebastian smiled," this is the dress you have to wear for tonight," he paused once more as he glanced at Ciel, "we have a visitor. Someone important—and we do not want you and Rui to look like maids, but Rui, however has still not recovered."

I paused. "But why? We are maids…" I trailed off.

"Consider this day a 'grace' day. I decided to let you off on one condition," Ciel stood up, his small figure towering her own, "you have to wear this dress."

I looked up and thought about it. My gaze turned to the ceiling.

"Accept it, darling. He's being sweet." Envy cooed happily.

"I know," I muttered hopelessly. I liked dresses, sure, but really?

"Pardon?" Sebastian smiled, leaning down and giving his ear to me.

I took this as a chance to scream at him. I smiled before turning to him and screaming, "I SAID YES, YOU!"

Sebastian immediately flinched, narrowing his eyes at me. "Very well, " he said with slight venom seeping in his voice. He glanced at Ciel, who nodded in response. With that, Ciel left the room.

"What are you doing here?" I mused, raising an eyebrow, feeling my mood lower.

Sebastian bowed, putting his right hand to his heart and smiling, his red eyes staring at me dead on, "I shall be of assistance," he went back to his normal position.

"Bloody hell," I cursed in frustration, "—on what!?" I snapped my gaze burning onto him, "I can dress myself, thank you very much. The Wolfgang were known for their formality." I cussed, moving to the left edge of my bed.

"Very well," Sebastian said, "I shall leave you to your own care then."

The sound of the door closing made me sigh in relief. "I don't need your care…" I lied. I've always been like this. Inside, I wanted to be the sweetest, nicest and embarrassingly I admit, the cutest anyone has met. But I always end up saying the stupidest things. I felt myself sadden at the thought of myself. I've always been lying to myself.

I stood up and walked to the other side of the bed, where the silk, Byzantium colored dress lay, perfectly folded.

I smiled and held it by the top, holding it up. It was made with fine silk and was sleeveless. The top was frilled with black lace, and the middle of the dress had black lace running down both sides as well. The back was to be laced with black. The dress, as I noticed was knee length. It looked like something men could get allured with. I shivered at that thought and shuffled backwards. As I stopped, I felt something hit my ankle. I blinked and turned around, looking straight down.

It was a pair of black, high heeled shoes. The toes were covered and a strap ran across, being held down by small iron buckles. I frowned. They looked a bit plain—and I need something to make them pop… Something saturated, maybe?

I ran over to Ciel's closet, hoping he'd have something girly and saturated there. I looked through his clothes and choked as I saw men's underwear. I averted my eyes and coincidentally found something to accessorize my shoes. Two blue roses. As expected from the earl—always something dark. I took them and stared down at them. They were fake, of course, but they had fake stems attached to them as well.

I rolled my eyes. This just totally made my job harder. I ran to my shoes, the roses in my hands and I placed them where I wanted them to be, folding the stems on each shoe. I smiled at my handiwork.

"Perfect! Now for stockings…" I paused. "Silly me, why would there be stockings in a male's room?" I laughed. It was worth a try anyway.

I ran back to the closet and looked around, moving many pairs of his clothes before I found stockings. Yes, woman stockings. In a boy's closet. "Oh god, Ciel is just so ewww…" I whined as I held them up. They were perfect and plain. I sighed, hoping that he didn't care about me wearing these. I shoved them on me and undressed myself.

"I wonder who the visitor is..?" I tilted my head.

After I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror, checking if I had done my hairstyle right as well as my dress. My hair was neatly tied up into a high, sleek ponytail held up by a purple satin ribbon I had found. It was all perfect. I didn't want to be a narcissist and compliment myself, but I honestly loved how the dress looked on me. I had also made myself a black ribbon made from Ciel's curtains. I smiled. He would be sooo mad at me if he finds out.

I swear, Ciel has everything.

Except make up. Well ,it's not that I like chemicals on my face. I rose an eyebrow at myself, thinking about when I can allow myself to use make up. I walked down the hall to the kitchen, hoping they'd be there as I checked my thoughts. Make up during school, nope unless I have something major happening, make up for special occasions, depending on what, sure why not. I looked to the clean, white double doors beside me. This better be the kitchen, damn it. But I don't smell anything coming out of this… I clicked my tongue and pried open the doors.

So, this is how I made a fool out of myself in front of our guest. When I opened the door, I tripped on my heels, fell over, punched the floor in frustration, and got laughed at by Rui who by the way, was awake.

"You fucking dumbass!" she laughed, her emerald eyes showing clear amusement and laughter. She wore a long, vibrant, v-neck dress which had a slit cut from the upper thigh and down. It was simple, yet beautiful. Her hair was put down as well, and she wore black heels.

Somehow, I thought she looked beautiful and mature, but those thoughts were cut off by her immature laughter.

"Oh haha, heehee, hoohoo, very mature considering how old you are, Rui." I snapped, as I crossed my arms, still sprawled onto the floor. That was when I realized there was an old wanker standing near the door across from me. Hell, was he ugly. I also came to realize that Ciel and Sebastian were looking at me with a ghost-like look on their face, as if I had just disgraced them.

Sebastian sighed, sticking a hand out to me, "Would you like some help?", he said as he tried to help me up.

I smiled, "So he is a gentleman as well," I raised my tone slightly as my left hand rose up and latched onto his. He smiled and slowly pulled me up. When he was done, I said my small 'Thank you' and stared at the guest in dissatisfaction.

He smiled, "What a clumsy girl,", he chuckled as he bowed.

Clumsy girl, eh? I smirked evilly, narrowing my eyes . I walked over to Rui, arms still crossed. "What's the wanker's name?" I whispered.

"I didn't listen. Let's name him 'Bloody Wanker'—or 'Wanker'. Everything that has to do with the word 'Wanker' is fine with me." Rui smiled, a hidden evil intent embedded in the smile.

"'Bloody Wanker' is fine." I smiled as we both stood side by side, her height towering mine.

"Now," Ciel began, showing his hand away to the door I just came from, "we shall begin our day. A little game of chess, perhaps?"

I smirked. I was horrendous when it came to chess, but when I tried, I would usually be the winner, my ace usually being a simple pawn. The rooks and knights usually helped with 'The Plan'. "I call shotgun."

They all eyed me, making me feel uncomfortable.

"There are no guns included in the game of chess, Lady Alexis." Ciel smirked, thinking I was dumb.

"It's a term Ciel. It's a term of saying 'I'm going first'." I tilted my head as I glared at him. I'm from the future, bitch.

He rose an eyebrow before widening his smirk, "It'll only be the guest and I playing this game, my lady."

I shivered. I hated being called formally. Why couldn't it just be something like 'Lexiboob' or just the simple 'Lex'? Then I remembered his remark, and I couldn't help but yell out the words: "Objection!" while pointing at Ciel.

Sadly, Rui was fast enough to respond, yelling "Hold it!"

I sighed in defeat and looked down, slumping my back. "Fine, Ciel versus RandomWanker 0.1." I shrugged.

Rui gave me a look.

"Excuse me?" Ciel mused as he narrowed his eye at me.

I ignored this and walked out the door, Rui by my side, muttering some incoherent words to herself.

I could hear Sebastian's 'tsk' behind me, the visitor's obnoxiously loud sigh, and Ciel's rude words aimed towards me, being "Stupid spoilt brat."

I cursed back inwardly.


"I'm bound to lose!" The visitor laughed.

I snorted. What were the chances of him winning from the beginning? What, 0.1/100? Or maybe -100/100.

They both turned around and glared at me. I glared back with all the evil I could gather. I averted my eyes to Rui, who seemed busy looking through some sort of book. I took this chance to walk up to her and ask her how she blacked out.

"Rui?"

"Oui?"

"How did you black out?"

"… Oh. Umm, I-I forgot." She smiled while putting the book down.

I rose an eyebrow. She never forgets. But then again, the black out might've wiped some of her previous memories away. I nodded, my face grim as I turned around and walked off to the door.

I froze as a few knocks came from the door. Recovering from my slight shock, I looked over to Ciel for permission to open the door.

He stared back and nodded.

I swung the door open and revealed the stoic Sebastian. He smiled and walked in, bowing. "Dinner is ready outside."

"Out in the stone garden?" The visitor smiled, "As expected from the Earl."

Oh right. He was an Earl.

"Then," Ciel paused, standing up, "We shall continue this game later."

"Oh, no thank you. You're bound to win after all!" The Italian accented guest said, also standing up.

"I don't like quitting a game in the middle." Ciel stated, walking to the door.

"What he said. It's not fun, and also, if you'd like, I can play for you." I smirked, walking beside Sebastian.

"If she's playing, I'm playing." Rui commented as she walked beside me.

I watched as the visitor glared at Ciel. "Child…" he muttered. Oh? What is this? I rose an eyebrow up in surprise. That was surprising and rude.

Ciel stopped walking momentarily and glowered at him.

If I were Ciel, I would continue the game and humiliate him.

"Ah, I mean, having the flexible spirit of a child must be one of the requirements of being a manufacturer." The Italian man lied. "That is why the Phantomhive's are the number one toy manufacturer in this country. It really is admirable!" he added.

Bloody hell, Ciel manufactures toys? Where are his parents along these lines anyway? I felt Sebastian's aura change. It was some how more… dark and gloomy..?


With that, we continued our way to the 'Stone Garden' which I never knew even existed around this mansion.

When we had arrived, the guest and Ciel sat down on the ends of the long table, beautiful lights illuminating their surroundings.

"Cute," I commented as I inspected further. I then realized, today, Rui hasn't been that annoying. I glanced at her. I was surprised to see her looking at me with a worried look. The look in her eyes told me that she was in her own land. I turned back and watched as Sebastian and a wine-red haired girl came down the steps, also dressed as a maid.

"Tonight's dinner is a Beef Tataki-don, prepared by our on chef, Bard." Sebastian announced, walking behind the guest of the night.

"Is this… our dinner?" He exclaimed, unsure.

Yes, yes it is, dumbass.

"Yes. Don't you know?" Sebastian responded, a white cloth on his right arm which swung across his chest. "This is a traditional delicacy passed down since ancient times in Japan!" Sebastian said, making weird, dramatic gestures.

I covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing. What is he doing?

Rui seemed to snap back into reality, letting out a small giggle.

"It is a feast filled with appreciation for those who have completed a hard job. That is the power of a dish known as," he made more awkward gestures," Donburi!"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. "WHAT THE FUCK-HAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed as I fell onto the stone ground below me, dirtying my dress.

Rui made a loud "Pfft!" noise and followed me, except holding herself up with Ciel's chair.

"Donburi, banzai!" The guest shouted in glee.

"WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed harder, and by this time, I couldn't breath, so I eventually just stopped laughing.

Rui stopped as well, fixing her hair before standing professionally behind Ciel. I followed her after awhile.

Everyone gave us a long, hard stare before going back to whatever they were doing.

"This is just a small thank you we present to you, ," Sebastian smiled, "for working so diligently on behalf of the Phantom company."

The poor guy looked mindfucked. Then, I remembered what Sebastian said.

"Mr. Damian."

"OHHHH!" I exclaimed, covering my mouth. Rui slapped the back of my head, scolding me, but I could tell she herself was almost on the edge because she was grinning.

"Your amazing Sebastian!" I heard some whisper from beside me.

"Nice follow-up!" another said as I turned to face a rock with grass surrounding it. Did I mention there were 3 people there? Some old dude, some other old dude, and some elf-looking dude. Are these the three hooligans or what? The really old dude looks chilled though, so I guess he's the best out of all of them.

"Ho ho ho." The really old dude laughed.

Oh, good lord! People laugh like that?

I ignored Sire Damian's lovely comments and focused on the girl with wine-red hair, beside Sebastian, round glasses and all.

"We have prepared a wine that compliments the fragrance of the soy sauce," Sebastian's silky voice cut through, "Meylene." He said as if it were a cue to head on.

Meylene? Sounds nice.

When she didn't move, I clenched my teeth.

"Meylene." Sebastian said once again with a serious tone.

The girl who was once in a daze snapped back, looking confused for a moment before saying "Yes, sir!"

Sebastian whispered to her, to which I was guessing were wise words of encouragement. I realized she was blushing, her face completely red, her glasses slightly cracked.

Oh shit. Their cracked. She can't do anything good by now.

"Ah, yes!" She responded immediately after he whispered to her.

I watched as she began to walk to the guest, staggering.

I rolled my eyes, slowly walking to her.

"Ah y-you can't Sebastian! Making a face like that.." I heard his mutter under her breath until she began freaking out.

I bit my lip in annoyance as she began to fumble. With that, I ran to her and booty bumped her out of my way.

She let out a shriek and fell to the ground, the wine vase leaping into my hands.

"Geez, if you can't do it, who will?" I growled, my voice thick with frustration. I smirked and looked at who's wine glass it was. I was about to pour it properly, until I stopped, remembering his words.

"What a clumsy girl…"

I bit my lower lip and smirked, moving one inch forward the glass and pouring there.

"Oops." I whispered, hoping that the wine would travel to his side and drip down onto his pants.

"Bad girl!" I heard Envy scold. I felt an electric shock flow through my veins and I voluntarily squeaked, fumbling the wine vase around before catching it successfully.

I knew they were shocked, because they weren't saying anything.

Just when it was about to drip, Sebastian felt like being a douchebag to me, so he lifted the table cloth up, and away.

I was in awe as I watched Sebastian lift it away, not moving any tableware while he was at it. Ciel and Rui shared the same look of shock on their faces as he pulled away before Mr. Damian could look.

When Mr. Damian finished his first taste, he gasped. "Where did the tablecloth go?"

"There was a small stain on the cloth, so I had it removed. Please pay it no mind." Ciel cooly answered ,opening his eye to glare at me.

Bullshit! He didn't say anything!

I pouted at Ciel and walked over to him, crouching down beside him so that only my head would show, the rest being covered by the table. "I just wanted sweet revenge…" I whined, pouting.

As Sebastian began talking, Ciel glared at me. "You'll have your revenge later, as well as mine, now would you mind getting behind me?"

I made a sad face and whimpered, hopping behind his chair, still crouching. I then realized he had said something about his revenge. What did he mean..? I looked up at Rui.

Rui gave me a small smile as Sebastian, Ciel and Mr. Damian continued their talk about how talented Sebastian was.

Now that I think about it, how did he do that? Move the tablecloth without moving anything else, I mean…

"I am simply one hell of a butler." I heard Sebastian say as I thought about how he could do that.

…Was he..!? No, he can't be. Maybe he is just one hell of a butler…


Hehehehehe.

I might just start updating every 1 week, cuz then I could write more.

Hurrah!

Oh, and thank you for that lovely comment, Sarafinja!
