Author's notes: Well this story took a nose dive off the 'not updated in forever' shelf! Please forgive me for being late with this chapter! I've been distracted by an adorable new nephew who was just born and have been rather obsessed! As always, thank you to every reader out there who takes the time to review, like, send kudos or who has made it this far through the story! I appreciate every one of you and love to hear what you think!

So now, the group must infiltrate the school again to remove the sigils from Sebastian that are draining his power. But this time, Rachel is being the student and Sebastian and Sitri are disguised as teachers. How will this turn out? Will they manage it? Or will they be discovered?

Warning: Sebaciel (implied, not much) OCxOC

That Butler, Teaching

The coach rattled over the familiar cobbles up to the gates of the college. As they peered out, they watched as the papers were checked by two guards before they were ushered through.
Ciel clenched his fist, tensing up as they knew there was no turning back.
'We've made it in, now we have to begin our plan' he squirmed slightly, shifting his position.

"My Lord, please remain still" whispered Sebastian hurriedly. "We don't want to raise suspicion"

"You mean any more than we will already?" the boy snapped back, ceasing his fidgeting.
Sebastian sighed, looking out at the dark figure on the steps that was now becoming clearer. He touched his jaw, making sure the latex mask he was wearing was still seamlessly attached.

"I agree this isn't ideal, Young Master, but please just bear with it" the demon reasoned. The boy harrumphed and settled back in his cramped quarters within the suitcase,

'For some reason, I'm having déjà vu in here…' Ciel pondered.

"I hate this…" whined Rachel's miserable voice, hidden under the pink flowery bonnet, causing everyone to look at the owner. Rachel was bright red and scowling, wearing the dress previously worn by the earl, with her chest bound flat and hair curled into ringlets. Long gloves and a choker covered the black bands on her wrists and neck. It had taken all three of them hours to persuade her into the outfit and she still hadn't given up being sour.

Sebastian sighed to himself before smiling sweetly,
"But you look so beautiful" he spoke, words honeyed to try and alleviate the woman's bad temper. He gestured to the dress, "Look, that dress is-"
"Stupid and far too small on me!" the housekeeper snapped, gesturing to the dress seams that were under a lot of tension.
Sebastian, realising he was treading on dangerous ground, turned to the other occupant of the coach who was now beaming out the window with tail wagging excitedly. Sitri had chosen to change his appearance himself, not liking the idea of wearing human-made creams and make up. His hair was now a light brown and his eyes shone a bright green, which were bright with anticipation of being a teacher. Sebastian felt his temple throb at the care free demon and coughed pointedly,

"I'm sure Sitri thinks you look lovely in that dress as well! Right, Sitri?" he couldn't have emphasised the words more and yet the demon prince only just heard him. Sitri glanced back in, head cocked in confusion.
"Huh?" he asked, having not paid the least bit of attention. Sebastian screamed internally and nodded to Rachel, who was still red-faced and staring down at her feet, which were enrobed in small pink satin heels. Sitri stared for a minute, not getting the hint and shrugged, looking back out.
"Yeah, you look alright" he replied, distractedly. Sebastian let his head drop into his hands and Ciel groaned within his hiding place.

"Alright?" cried the housekeeper, furious sparks jumping off her. "I'm stuck wearing this stupid outfit because of you and-" a gloved finger was pressed to her lips. She blinked then scowled up the arm at Sebastian, realising they were stopping.
"Well, let's go" he said quietly. He adjusted a pair of glasses and picked up the suitcase, lifting it out with ease, before turning to help Rachel down the steps. He watched warily as Sitri practically bounced out after them, but was relieved to see the demon prince had had the sense to keep his ears and tail hidden.

He turned to the headmistress, looking as imposing as ever.
"How do you do, Madam? I am Sebastian Michaelis, one of the new lecturers you called for" he spoke smoothly and charmingly, shaking her hand. Madame Gagnon nodded,

"Yes, welcome and thank you for answering our request so promptly" she replied curtly. Sebastian nodded and stood back for Sitri to introduce himself.

Silence filled the air now. He adjusted his glasses and smiled brightly at the headmistress. The seconds seemed to stretch out awkwardly, until he finally coughed loudly. Sitri perked up, snapping back to reality from staring around, and looked over,

"What?" he asked, receiving a harsh glare from the other demon. He suddenly remembered his role and rushed over, grinning widely,

"Hello! My name is Johann Weyer! I shall be your new lecturer in Science! Forgive me for being distracted, your college is beautiful!" Sitri shook the woman's hand eagerly and beamed at her. Madame Gagnon eyed up the eccentric man before her before deciding to ignore his strange behaviour and turn to the last new arrival. At this point, she blinked in surprise,
"Ah you must be the new student joining us!" she spoke, sounding much more cheerful. She looked the girl up and down. "My, you're quite tall already!"
Rachel gulped, before dipping into an awkward curtsey,

"My name is Rachel Jezebel, pleased to meet you. To answer you, I… I hit puberty early on, Madame" she spoke hurriedly. Lying was not something Rachel was good at and keeping up an act was hard. It seemed to work though, Madame Gagnon nodding solemnly,

"Yes, sometimes Nature surprises us. And so, my dear!" At this point, the headmistress pulled the girl in close, clasping both shoulders in a vice-like grip as her eyes blazed. "You must be even more vigilant against the dark intentions of men! With your appearance, they will mistake you for much older than you are and they will try to tempt you away! But you must be strong! As women, we must do all that is in our power to thwart the vices men put before us! We must fight every obstacle with full force! At least, you have not blossomed despite growing taller, this will be to your advantage"
Rachel wilted slightly under the intensity of the headmistress' tirade and somehow felt her pride was hurt with that last remark, but managed to nod weakly,
"Y-yes, Madame" she replied.
"U-uh…" came the voice of Sebastian, causing the two to look over. He smiled, despite the glare he received from the headmistress, "Where should we put our bags, Madame?"
The headmistress huffed in annoyance and started walking towards the servants' quarters.
"Rachel, please wait inside. Mr Michaelis, Mr Weyer, follow me" she stated simply and noticed Sebastian pick up the large suitcase again. "You can leave that there, the servants will bring all the belongings over shortly"
Sebastian shook his head,

"I'm afraid this suitcase contains all I hold dear, I couldn't be parted from it for even a second" he explained. The headmistress looked annoyed but dismissed this, turning back towards the doors.

"Very well then" she replied and continued to lead the demons away, Sitri trying to look at everything at once as they walked.

Rachel watched them leave, feeling her stomach churning,

'I really wish I was going with them' she thought, watching them desperately. Suddenly, Sitri looked back at her and grinned, giving her a thumbs up. Rachel was surprised at the gesture, but couldn't help smiling back at the demon. Sebastian quickly smacked Sitri upside the head and scowled at Rachel,

"You are strangers, remember?" he mouthed and dragged Sitri off.

Rachel watched them disappear through a door and turned to face the large ornate front of the college. She took a deep breath and made her way uneasily up the stairs, into the entrance hall.

"Let's hope this goes well" she mumbled.

Finally, after what felt like hours, Ciel stretched lavishly as he emerged from the suitcase. He glared at the smiling butler, who offered him a hand out of his hiding place.

"Such a ridiculous idea, stuffing me into a suitcase!" the boy snapped as he dusted himself off. He glared harder at the demon's chuckle,

"It was the quickest means of getting you inside undetected, my Lord" the demon explained, still grinning. "It's just as well you're able to fit into such a small space really"

Ciel glared full force at the demon,

"You bastard! Don't try and make that sound like a compliment!" he barked.

Sebastian shushed him, with a finger to his lips,

"My Lord, please remember the walls are quite thin here. And we don't know yet who is involved in this case" the demon whispered.

Ciel huffed and looked around the lodgings. The walls were even barer than the ones in the girls' dorms, which amazed Ciel. Sitri had to share the room with them and the two beds and wardrobes took up most of the space. Everything looked incredibly cheap and thin, especially the mattress on the beds. It had obviously been furnished with the cheapest items possible so it wouldn't have been a surprise if the walls were just as cheaply built.

Ciel nodded, now serious. He glanced out the window; from their room, they had a perfect view of the research building opposite.

"So, what's next? How do we get into that new building?" he asked, studying the façade of the building.

"I recommend we wait a little while until the heat has died down around our escape. I imagine the security in there is quite tight currently" Sebastian joined Ciel by the window, looking out.

At this close proximity, Ciel could hear the butler's laboured breathing and he frowned, looking up at Sebastian. The sheen of sweat glowed on the demon's skin,

"Is that wise? You're struggling so much with the effects this place has; the longer we leave it, the worse those sigils are going to make you" the boy pointed out. Sebastian smiled down at the boy and stroked the boy's cheek gently,

"I appreciate the young master's concern but, sigils or not, I am still one hell of a butler" he grinned. "I will be fine" Ciel remained unconvinced.

Sitri looked over at the pair from his position on his bed, uncharacteristically thoughtful. He watched them before speaking up,

"I agree with Malphas. Waiting would be better. It will give us time to watch the movements in and out of that building too and to make a better plan for infiltrating" The pair were surprised at the serious tone and nature of the usually erratic demon and turned to look at him. Ciel frowned,

"But still…" the boy continued his argument, whilst Sebastian noticed how tense the demon prince seemed.

'He's actually worried…' Sebastian realised and couldn't help finding this fact disconcerting. 'That really isn't good. The last time Sitri was worried…'

Sitri noticed Sebastian staring at him and quickly grinned, all traces of tension gone.

"Besides, if we stay longer, it means I get to spend longer studying humans!" he chirped up, cutting off Ciel's argument. The boy blinked then scowled,

"That's been your real motive all along, hasn't it?" he snapped before ranting at the grinning demon. Sebastian decided to look out the window, lost in thought.

'This is going to be tough, isn't it?'

As the demons settled into their roles as teachers at the school and the reluctant housekeeper got used to student life, Ciel continued his investigations. He found observing the movements around the building useless, as he never saw anyone enter or exit via the doors.

'They must only use a secret passageway to move to and from the building' Ciel tutted, frustrated. He looked out over the courtyard and noticed Sitri surrounded by a gaggle of students.

Ciel was surprised by how popular the demon prince had been with the students, but then he knew Sitri was an educator back in his and Sebastian's realm.

'Still, it's strange imagining that layabout being good at anything, much less teaching' Ciel mused, resting his chin on his palm as he watched the group pass by. 'I doubt he's doing any investigating though!'

Sitri chuckled away at the antics of the girls around him, all attempting to catch his attention. It seemed all those rants from the headmistress had had very little influence over the girls, who were practically falling over themselves to talk to him. The demon grinned to himself,

'Humans are such simple creatures. The more someone forbids them to do something, the greater their desire to it is!'

One girl, a particularly busty blonde, flipped her hair to catch his eye and grinned at him.

"Hey, Mr Weyer! You're going to give me that one-to-one tuition tonight, right?" the girl asked, shoving another girl out of her way so she could lean in close to Sitri. He smirked at her poor attempts at flirting and the sudden outrage the girl had caused.

"Of course, my dear!" he replied happily, letting the girl latch onto his arm. Another girl sighed happily,

"Mr Weyer is so smart and kind! Will you put me forward become one of the Society Queens this year?" she asked, pressing herself against Sitri's arm. Sitri's ears perked up and raised an eyebrow,

"Society Queen? What's that?" he asked, leaning closer to the girl. The girl turned red at the close proximity and giggled,

"I-it's where a few girls who the teachers feel are special get selected for a special improved education. I-it means you get better dorms and your own bathroom and can go out on the weekends!" the girl nearly passed out from excitement. Sitri looked thoughtful,

"Sounds delightful! Of course, I'd love to put you all forward, but how do I put you in for it?"

"You just tell Madame Gagnon and she decides who goes in!" the girls were all getting excited now, at the idea of being Society Queens. Sitri felt them jostling again to be close to him, now pushing each other out of the way as they tried to persuade him into putting their names down. The demon smirked to himself,

'Typical humans, they'll step all over one another to get what they want. I'm guessing this is how girls get picked to go in the building. It seems simple enough if I just have to suggest someone. And it gives me an idea'

Sebastian, meanwhile, was finishing paperwork in his office. His breathing had been getting more laboured, trying to keep in control, and he noticed his hand seemed to be losing its form and turning into shadows. Startled, Sebastian focused intently and watched as his hand slowly regained its shape again. He sighed and leant back in the chair, a pained expression on his face,

'It's getting harder to hold my form now, even after only one day on these grounds. I did not expect the sigils would affect me so much this soon' The demon felt his eyelids growing heavy, he felt unusually tired. 'Perhaps… sleep will help…'

Sebastian felt himself drifting and losing his form when he heard a sharp knock. He gasped and sat up suddenly, pulling his shape back into his guise, and turned to face the door. He could make out the shadow of someone through the frosted glass,

"Come in!" he called out and was surprised when the headmistress walked in. "Madame Gagnon? What brings you here?"

The headmistress, looking as strict as ever, scowled at him briefly before handing him a sheet of paper.

"I have been watching your performance with the students. Your classes seem popular and the students have started to excel in subjects they previously were failing in. It seems you have been given a gift by God" Madame Gagnon's strict features reluctantly twisted into an attempt at a smile; it looked more like a rictus. "I wish to congratulate you on your hard work, Mr Michaelis"

Sebastian could see that praising a man was torture for the proud woman, and he had to struggle against the desire to smirk. Instead, he smiled pleasantly.

"No need to congratulate me, I enjoy teaching the students! Also, I have nothing as grand as a gift from God, I am merely one hell of a teacher" The demon grinned momentarily before gesturing to the paper handed to him. It seemed to be a list of students' names.

"May I ask what this is for?" Sebastian watched the headmistress' demeanor change back to its usual strict rigidity.

"It is a list of students who are being considered for this month's title of Queen. A student is selected each month for their success within the school and is enrolled into a special curriculum at a private school in order to nurture their talents more effectively. The role of teachers in this is to identify those who show signs of great promise to society and tell me so that the student might be considered" Madame explained, tapping the names. "If you have any observations, please let me know"

Sebastian observed the headmistress as she spoke, there was no tell-tale sign of lying shown.

'So this is the way they select students to go into that building. She's well-practised at saying this line though, if I didn't know otherwise, I'd think she was telling the truth. Either that or she truly believes it and doesn't know about the students' deaths' the demon quickly pushed these thoughts aside and smiled.

"I'm honoured to think my observations could be of some help to you" he spoke warmly, bowing. Madame nodded then coughed slightly,

"I also have another reason for coming here" the woman continued, but this time looking more harassed. Sebastian blinked, "It would seem that your roommate, Mr Weyer is… rather popular too"

Sebastian felt a sense of foreboding and nodded slowly,

"Yes, he does seem to be" Sebastian agreed warily. Madame Gagnon coughed again, clearly embarrassed,

"It would appear that he is popular for not only his ability to teach though. The girls have begun a fanclub to him and have started competing to spend the most time with him. Competing quite viciously as well. A few girls have had to be sent home over this. However, Mr Weyer has somehow managed to evade me when I come to discuss this with him. So, I wish for you to warn him about not allowing this to continue." Madame Gagnon seemed to be shaking slightly. "To think a man has managed to undo all my hard work and has caused such brainwashing amongst my girls! It's deplorable! It shows the frail nature of a woman's heart and how men are keen to abuse this-"

Sebastian felt sweat accumulate on the back of his head, watching the woman rant angrily. He held up his hands in defence,

"I-I understand Madame. I will speak with Sit- I mean Mr Weyer regarding this behaviour and see to it he puts a stop to it!" This seemed to have the desired effect and the woman's rage subsided. She nodded with approval.

"In the meantime, may I make a request to you, Madame Gagnon?" The demon asked, holding up the paper. "May I suggest someone who could go on this list?"

The next day, whilst Sitri and Sebastian seemed to be having success, Rachel had been struggling to make any headway with her investigations. Word got around that she had exited the same carriage Sitri had been in and now the girls were convinced that she was out to 'steal' him from them. It didn't help that Sitri openly flirted with her, being bold enough once to smack her rear as she left the classroom and the girls took this as further proof of her intentions. Now, she was getting the cold shoulder from everyone.

'This is ridiculous! Is this how petty girls can be? When I was their age, I was too busy getting food on the table to form such useless rivalries!' The housekeeper sighed heavily, frustrated with her predicament. The marks on her wrists and neck were glowing too, although thankfully the gloves and choker had kept them covered. Their effect of draining her meant she was thinking and reacting sluggishly now, making it difficult to sneak around unnoticed or eavesdrop on conversations.

She also wasn't able to sneak up to the teachers' dorm to discuss further plans with the young master or ask if Sebastian or Sitri had found anything out themselves. She hated to admit it, but she felt fairly lonely and vulnerable like this.

The classroom door opened and a loud cacophony of noise signalled Sitri and his troupe of admirers had arrived. Rachel watched with boredom as Sitri, flanked by the girls who had currently clawed their way into being next to him, entered the room. He laughed loudly at one of the girls' joke before waving them towards their seats. He smirked briefly at Rachel, looking smug.

'Stupid idiot, letting them drape all over him like that! He's enjoying this attention far too much!' The girl's vindictive thoughts continued as she huffed and looked away from the demon. She would never admit it but she was slightly jealous of the girls too, being able to stay so close to Sitri. Slightly. Only a little bit. Besides, she was enjoying being by herself and not constantly bothered by Sitri's antics. It meant she got some peace and quiet so she could focus on investigating! Yes, she was happy that those floozies were keeping Sitri busy!

She watched as a couple of the girls rushed up to talk to Sitri, clinging onto his arms. She watched how they felt his biceps and chest, 'accidentally' brushing their bosoms against him, while Sitri beamed happily at them. She tutted and looked away again,

'Stupid bastard' she thought bitterly.

"Attention students!" blared the loudspeaker suddenly, causing a hush over the class. Everyone looked up towards the speaker mounted on the wall. "It pleases us to announce this month's Queens of Society!"

Rachel raised an eyebrow and noticed the hushed conversations happening around her. She glanced at Sitri and noticed he seemed to grinning at her. She frowned and listened to broadcast again.

"We would like to announce that the winners are…"

And that's it for now! I'm sorry to leave it on a cliffhanger but it's already a huge chapter! I promise the next one will be much faster! Please review, like, and leave your opinions on how the story is doing so far! I love all your feedback! Take care as always my dears!
