Whoo! I am having problems updating this fic.
By the way, telling me to hurry the crap up. It will only serve to make the chapters come slower.
Much conversation this chapter, no? Makes it hard to describe stuff....
Le gasp! does Yako suspect something?
Disclaimer: I own none of these wonderful mangas.
EDIT!: Than you darkryubaby for correcting me about the date of Tokyo's name change I'm really glad you spoke up. ^^__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Umph."
Yako attempts to push herself up from the dirt floor only to have two large feet come crashing back down on her back, effectively pushing the rest of the air from her lungs.
'What on earth happened? There was light then this warmth around my body then swirling colors and...' Neuro steps leisurely off her back and Yako snaps up to a sitting position, sucking in air like a whale.
"Hey! Who are you!" Yako turns her head towards the entrance. There is a young boy, perhaps around age twelve, staring accusingly at her. One of his eyes is covered by a patch the other one seems to burn through her.
It reminds Yako of a young girl from one of her cases who had her grandfather murdered and attempted to avenge him. But, the spark in this boy's eye is much stronger. Almost like it has consumed him.
Neuro took another step forward. "Oh my! what have you two been up to?" Yako blinks.
'Two?' She looks up to see a tall man, the same height as Neuro maybe, standing beside the young boy. He is in something like a butler suit from the movies and his right arm is absolutely covered in blood.
Yako glances down and raises her eyebrows. 'So... so many.' She counts the Bodies, twelve in all. She can tell just by looking that they were all killed rather violently and many times by something being jabbed through the chest.
She slowly brings her head up to look at the butler guy again. The rest of his suit is impeccably clean, only the arm has blood on it, how strange.
Her eyes meet with the strange man. Yako refrains from sucking in a loud breath.
His eyes are red and they almost seem to glow, like Neuro's.... Yako glances at Neuro then back at the butler guy.
'No. way.'
"Hey!" The child's voice rings with authority. "I asked who you are!"
Yako blinks and comes down from her thoughts.
"Ah, This is Neuro my assistant and I am Katsuragi Yako, we are private investigators. Nice to meet you!"
The child raises his eye. "Oh? and what was that thing behind you." He seems haughty.
Yako glances behind her. The strange rift of light, is gone. She stands up, and almost falls back again.
"Um, I'm not sure. We were about to arrest this mad scientist murderer, but he grabbed the police man standing next to him and shoved him under this machine of his, I believe he died, and flipped this weird switch. One of my police friends shot the man since he tried to kill me and then this freaky light appeared and my assistant and I got sucked in and, well, here we are." Yako shrugs her shoulders and stares at the lad.
The 'lad' in turn raises an eyebrow and turns to the butler guy. "Well, what do you think of this."
The butler guy smiles.
'No way. But it's so much like Neuro's...' Yako glances between the two again.
"My lord, might I suggest you ask where they came from?" The boy nods in consent and turns to the pair. "Where are you from?" Yako glances at Neuro.
'His turn, I've spoken enough.' Neuro sighs and shifts his foot to bring it down hard over Yako's.
Yako makes no sign of her discomfort, being used to this and not wanting these strangers to think she is some kind of freak.
"We came from Tokyo Japan." The butler raises his eyebrows.
"I have heard of Japan but not Tokyo." Yako blinks.
"But it's the capital." The butler smiles again. It sends chills down Yako's spine.
"If I remember correctly the capital of Japan is Edo." Neuro put on his innocent face.
"Eh? But I though the name was changed to Tokyo in 1867*" The young boy coughs slightly.
"This could be complicated." Yako blinks.
"What do you mean?" The young boy shifts slightly.
"Well, we are still in the eighteen thirties.***" Neuro smirks slightly. Dropping his facade oh so slightly.
"In other words, we have been sent back in time." The boy nods.
"You had better come with me, I am renowned here and my job is to discard of unwanted pests to the queen." He nods to the corpses by his feet. "If anyone can get you back to where you came from it's me, but I would still rather not tangle with the police at this particular moment."
Neuro nods and grabs hold of Yako's head.
"Well then sensei, shall we go?**"
And so, the two meet.

*I got the info from wikipedia so don't quote me on it.
** I realized that I am using a Japanese term without explaining it. Sensei means teacher in Japanese. But, teacher sounds really stupid don't you agree? So I am going to stick with sensei.
*** (cough) Yeah it's a random date, I know it's probably not the real one but work with me here, I need it to be before Tokyo's name change. Plus I'm too lazy to look up the london fire and it's date.
O.O I actually finished another chapter. I am seriously having problems with this fic. Bah it's giving me a headache.
Yup, Ciel's view of this is next and then the next scene. Don't worry it will be entertaining :)
Did you know? I listen to Japanese music whenever I write fics. It gets me in the right mood.
Review! It motivates me!
