I glared at Lau as he held his dragon pipe in one hand and an arm over Ran-Mao " A momentary peace is an elusory fruit that, once gone, can never be regained. " He took a deep breath and blew out the smoke that floated in my face I coughed waving my hand that thankfully was still covered by gloves solid black gloves that went to my elbows, and I had bells on my wrist so I heard a gingle, gingle, gingle everytime I moved.

"Ciel Phantomhive...Your die has already been cast." my head fell to the side...Why does he sound so intellectual "Now, Where will you place your bets?"He asked standing up, Ran-Mao took my arm and we walked out of the carriage

"All right, We've got 6 to 1 odds on Elizabeth finding what she seeks, and 4 to 1 odds on not finding it!"Lau shouted drawling the crowd closer, Ran-Mao poked my arm and pointed to the other side, sighing I hopped up on the side of the carriage and onto the top of the sign that read Lady Elizabeth cap, with a figure that looked like a unicorn not a stag.

I was dressed in almost the something as Ran-Mao except my skirt was long with slits up the sides, I was wearing bells on my ankles and wrist without the tights she had on, But I was luckily had flats on, I didn't have any sleeves but I did have my long black gloves, My hair was pulled into two buns on the top of my head my makeup was drastically changed.

I was wearing heavy black eyeliner with blue, my lips where a dark red, "Place your bets, Ladies and Gentlemen!"Lau announced waving his arms, I struck the pose my arms coming up above my head, my head turned to the side, and my body moving slightly to the opposite side showing off my legs in the long slit.

"Bet."ordered Ran-Mao, Suddenly all of the men watching the boat with Ciel and Lizzie raced foreward, "Be a man and put all your money on the long shot!"Lau said I fought a snort, Of course he wanted them to do that, Its less likely they would win!

"We've got 108 to 1 on dissolving the engagement! Roll up and place your bets!"Lau said I kept my pose and I noticed none of the men nor the women notcied that it was me, I started to panic as Sir Grey in his brown clothes, brown hat, and all over boringness looked around for me.

"Want to place a bet!"Lau called out to him, I froze as his eyes went from Lau, to me, to Ran-Mao and then back to Lau "I do not bet"He stated walking away still search for me.

I sighed in relief.

Sebastian went to place the food on the table when he heard Lau, He turned to look over and almost dropped the food, Neveah hands up and crossed, Her head turned as if in a innocents, Her body cocked to the side, Her pale, long shapely legs standing out from the dark fabric.

Lizzie asking "What's today's lunch, Sebastian?" Snapped Sebastian out of him checking out Neveah.

"Now things are getting intresting!" Lau said still passing out ticketsm "The Butler makes a unbelievable mistake."I try to still look impassive as Ran-Mao, But I couldn't help but wonder why Sebastian would make a mistake...live food it sounded more like something Maylene, Finian, and Bare would do. I knelt down the flap of the dress hiding my private area, and I moved my hands down face and then I crossed my arms on my chest, They men started up again, Acttualy it was a great ego boost.

"The odds of their engagement dissolving are now just 60 to 1! Is their passion plummeting along with it!" Lau shouted I smirked as Sebastian came out of the bushes with a beautiful dish, "Awh"I whispered as everyone started to clap, "Thank you! Thank you!" Lau cheered "The young ladies are delighted! Come, Ladies and gents, place yourbets!"Lau cheered.

Than came dessert, I moved my position to better see, Sebastian smiled at Ciel, When you got over the creepiness he actually had a nice smile. I watched as they went down the river and out of sight, Soon the clouds came and then it started to pour, Me and Ran-Mao got off of the top of the carriage. I didn't move to get away from the rain, A little rain never hurt anyone but a stalker did...

"The clouds grow menacing." I nodded as I watched people run around taking down the tents as such, I didn't know why they didn't just stay underneath the tents until the rain stopped, Ran-Mao held her hand out it catching the rain in between her fingers. I sighed letting the rain wash away my cares "It looks as though Elizabeth won't find what she seeks, and their future together is bleak."

I snorted there odds are better than that! " The current odds are..." Lau paused as Ran-Mao took the chalk and placed a 3 that said the White deer would be found "Well, Ran-Mao,Aren't you bold today!" She placed the chalk down and walked over to Lau "You still think they'll find it?"He asked her, I couldn't say that I believed in them finding some legend.

She laid her head in his lapp as he sat in the chair part of the carraige still outside in the rain "Still...I do love an exciting game." He got down "Shall we see if the young couple are doing alright?"He asked Ran-Mao and me I nodded, "Do you think that they would spilt, Lau?"I asked him looking up at the strange Chinese man that I trusted.

"Hard to say Neveah, Love is like catching the wind"He explained crypticly, I rolled my eyes and smiled, My face dropped and I tucked and arm under Lau's other and laid my head on his shoulder as Sir Grey came into view "Sir!"He called out Lau stopped and looked over at my stalker.

"Have you seen Lady Neveah Phantomhive?"He asked rubbing his arms again the coldish rain, My eyes narrowed on him. "No, I have not"Lau said walking off taking Ran-Mao and I away from my stalker. I was scared into not moving from Lau's arm.

My eye widened as I saw a burry figures of Sebastain and Ciel who was holding onto Lizzies shoulders the closer I got the more I could hear Ciel "We can look for it again any time we like"Ciel told her, my head fell on Lau's shoulder, Awh now that was sweet for him to say, Lizzie was just as stubborn as him.

And then it was ruined "We can just hire people, and offer a reward"He assured Lizzie, I sighed "so.." "Ciel" I heard Lizzie say sadly, It pulled at my heart to see her duck her head, Her hand reach out "You...You idoit!"She yelled slapping his hand away, I stumbled at the shock of Lizzie actualy getting angry " Elizabeth?"Ciel asked.

"That wouldn't mean anything. You don't understand how I feel at all!"She said "Forget it!"She shouted running off "Elizabeth!"Ciel called out, Lau with me and Ran-Mao on either side stood there "Aw, You made her angry with you. I wonder if that ends it?" Lau said alerting Ciel and Sebastian to our presence "Lau!"Ciel said surprised truning around Lau nods, I blush as Ciel seems to not recognize me. "I bet on you finding it. I wish you wouldn't disappoint me." Lau complained "Why should I care what you want?"Ciel stated.

Sebastian's eyes never left mine and I felt very embarrassed now "'A gentleman is charged with pleasing his lady',Eh?" Lau shrugged "Being an english nobleman is such a bother.", "I was born one. It doesn't bother me in the slightest." Ciel said I frowned as I pulled away from Lau a little "Oh?"

But... I was born into a disgraced family. My duty is..." Ciel was rubbing the Phantomhive family ring that sat in his tumb, There was a breif pause before Lau raised a hand "Well, then! I've finished collecting my money, so I'll just push off!" Lau stated I looked up at him as Ciel turned to Sebastian "We're going to bring Elizabeth home, Sebastian."

I looked away from Lau who was truning to leave to see Finian running towards us "Sebastain!"He yelled, I paled "What isit?"Sebastian asked Finian panted and I moved over to Ciel side, Finian pointed behind him "Lady Elizabeth is in trouble."He yelled my heart stopped.

The floodgate was leaking as we ran up to Maylene who was yelling at Bard for pulling the rope that was keeping Lizzies boat from moving to far out , But it was already taught as the water ran fearcly bobbing Lizzies boat around. "Elizabeth!"Shouted Ciel, "Neveah!"Bard asked I nodded "Its me, Stop staring"I said as I watched Lizzie try to stand but get knocked back into the boat.

"Don't move!" I shouted as Ciel yelled "Look out! Don't take your hands off the boat!" She stood up saying something about that dang deer, "Elizabeth...Why..?"Ciel asked mostly to himself seanse she couldn't really hear him that far away, Using her stomach Lizzie reached out, "Stop Lizzie!"I yelled but my voice wouldn't carry. She was trying to untie the boat! "What shall we do, Young master?"Sebastian asked Ciel.

I could feel Ran-Maos hand on my shoulder as I watched Lizzie like a hawk "She's certainty not safe like that, Look" Lau said walking foreword past Ran-Mao who kept a hand on my shoulder, and pointing to the Floodgate that was leaking. My eyeswidened I knew it was leaking but not this bad! "It's an old-fashioned floodgate, We'd planned to begin rebuilding it next month"Sebastian said "But...It's already leaking" I said " Yes and when it bursts, The water it's barely holding back now will wash upstream, and this whole area will be swamped"Lau explained.

I frowned but kept silent, What would a bunch of yelling do? "Sebastian."Ciel said Sebastian looked down at Ciel who reached out to touch his covered eye "This is an order...Stop the flood!"He said as he looked up "And I may leave Lady Elizabeth?" He asked "Don't make me repeat myself." He stated pulling off his coat and throwing it aside "I'll Protect Elizabeth, Thats my duty!" I tried to take a step forward but Lau and Ran-Mao pulled me back, I couldn't let Ciel get killed! Sebastian laid a hand on his chest "Yes, My lord" He said and then he dissapeared.

Ciel stepped closer to the edge and I grabbed his arm "Be careful"I said letting go of him, So he could get into the water, Lau and Ran-Mao pulled me into the bushes "Climb up this tree Neveah"Lau said I nodded letting Lau lift me into the tree, I climbed up as far as I could until I could see the river and the other floodgate with a black spot on it, "Sebastian?"I asked as I watched the spot twitch and then the flood gate busted apart and a wave started to quickly move "The New Floodgate is Busted!"I yelled down to the others.

Ciel had his hand on the boat when the wave it him "Ciel!"I yelled standing up on the branch and leaning over the edge. Sebastian dived into the water and came up with both Ciel and Lizzie, I shrieked as I almost fell, I gripped the limb and started to move down the tree, He laid them down on the ground, I stayed beside Ciel and Lizzie as Sebastian started to get the others to knock down trees and build up rocks.

Soon the river started to move in a different way and then the sun came out...

I hovered over Ciel who was starting to come too "Young master."Sebastian said shaking him a litttle "Ciel?"I asked him as he opened his eyes "Are you awake, Young master?"Sebastian asked I snapped my head to look up at the butler "Of course he is Sebastian."I snapped as Lau laughed, I was pushed out of the way as Lizzie tackled Ciel onto the ground, I cover my mouth to muffle my laugh"Ciel I'm so sorry!" Lizzie shouted.

"Hurrah hurrah hurrah!"Exclaimed Bard, Finian, and Maylene, I grinned as I leaned back and stood up " Elizabeth." Ciel said breaking off Lizzie who looked up at Ciel "I'm glad you're all right." Ciel said his hand on her cheek, I moved over to Lau who watched carefully "I think you better pay up Lau."I said as Sebastian spoke "And I 'm glad that you're alright, young master."

Ciel snapped up and grabbed Sebastians coat, I blinked surprised at Ciel "Sebastain, Why did you open the gate!"He stated "I ordered you to stop the flood!", I watched as Sebastian smiled "And I followed your order."He answered him "What!"Ciel asked "I doubt it will flood here now... or ever again." I smiled "in order to restore the proper flow of the river, it was necessary to release the dammed- up water. I guided the current with a bit of help from everyone there, and had the river's shape altered. To its safest form, its rightful form" My eyebrow rose, Now that I think about it...it just looked like they where knocking down trees and rocks.

"Rightful form?"Ciel asked "Yes. Now its the way it was several thousand years ago, When the white stags were here.."Sebastian said He sounded like he was there...I narrowed my eyes as I turned to look at Bard who was staring at me "Yes?"I asked him. "You look... interesting Neveah"Bard said with a laugh, I rolled my eyes "I had to do this to doge that stupid suitor."I huffed blowing a loose strand of my hair out of my face.

Bard chuckled, "...It's right up that hill."Sebastian said as everyone moved, Ciel and Lizzie running up the hill. I frowned "Don't you want to see the white stag Lady Neveah?"Sebastian asked me I looked up at the butler, I reached up and moved a strand of his hair out of his face "Its really here?"I asked him, He held out his hand and I took it, We moved up the hill his hand was warm again mine and there was a stark contrast, a difference between our gloves.

When we reached the top of the hill the others where already starring at the bottom of the hill. My eyes widened in the ground with white stone, the shape was a white stag "It's a hill figure."Sebastian said looking down at the stag as well. "Hill figure?"Bard asked I was wondering that too.

"An Ancient geoglyph cut into the chalky rock of a hill,The torrent earlier washed away the surface of the hill and revealed the hidden art." Sebastian explained How many years did it take for them to do this? "So this is the truth behind the legend?"Ciel asked "This is amazing, Sebastian." Lizzie exclaimed turning around to give him a bright smile "A Phantonhive butler who can't do this much isn't worth..." I jumped clinging to Sebastian as Tanaka started to talk ,interrupting him " The flowing river never stops, and yet the water never stays the it is man and all his dwelling places." He said apparently I wasn't the only one to be surprised Sebastian place a hand on his heart and the others look shocked and scared "Tanaka!"We shouted "Where have you been all this time!"Maylene asked "D..Don't tell me..."Bard stuttered.

"In there?"Finian asked I looked up at Sebastian who looked over at the same spot, I fallowed his gaze and saw a large basket was open, "T..Tanaka fit in there?"I stuttered looking from the old man to the basket. "With no one tending it, The glyph must have eventually weathered and been forgotten"My grasp on Sebastian's arm tightened "But thank goodness...Thank goodness you found the white stag, Ciel."Lizzie added to Tanaka's speech.

"You were the one looking for it."Ciel said Lizzie smiled, I leaned my head on Sebastian and sighed "Say, Ciel, Are you having fun?"She asked "I had fun, Because I got to spend the day frivolling with you, you see, You're always running off somewhere for 'work'. And each time you come back, you look upset, so that's why..." I took in a deep breath and I relaxed against Sebastian's shoulder my eyes closing "They say people who see the white stag are filled with happiness their whole lives long."

"Lizzie."my eyes opened hearing Ciel call her by her nickname, He use to call her that before the fire but...I am glad he is doing it now "You finally called me this sight, Ciel."Lizzie said I turned my head only to see Lau crying and Ran- Mao stodic as usual "Congratulations! congratulations! Congratulations!" Lau repeated "Thank you!"He cried,I thought at first that he was happy for Ciel but then I saw the bag overfilling with money.

Laughing soundlessly I leaned closer to Sebastian who looked down at me "Are you comfortable Lady Neveah?" I smiled up at Sebastian "Very."

Thank you for the reivews!

I love them very much!
