Yay! I am actually updating! I got sick again :P how smart am I?
Disclaimer: Seriously? You need a disclaimer STILL?!
For some reason, I can't put any POV breaks... they all disappear. Sorry!
Yako continues to stare covertly at the boy sitting opposite her.
His clothes had seemed a bit strange, but a different time? Really?
Neuro pokes her in the back just hard enough for it to hurt. She flinches involuntarily.
"We're here louse." He whispers.
Yako peeks out the windows to see a large, no huge manor right outside, growing even larger as the carriage makes its way down the long drive.
'Just who is this kid?' Yako wonders.
Ciel does his best to ignore the girl's stare.
She is obviously trying to make it look like she isn't staring, and is failing miserably.
Thank goodness the ride is almost over; neither of the strange pair has said anything since getting in. It's unbearably awkward.
The carriage rolls to a halt. The girl, Yako, reaches to open the door. Ciel flips his cane in front of her hand.
Sebastian opens the door and helps Ciel down from the carriage. Ciel begins his walk up the drive as Sebastian turns to help the others.
"Young master!" Ciel suddenly finds himself in a strong grip, too strong for his liking. The said squeezer continues to ramble.
"Finny!" Ciel nearly shouts. "You are choking me!"
Finny immediately drops Ciel, ushering apologies out faster than a fountain pours out water.
Yako chooses this moment to intervene.
"And… this is?"
Sebastian helps Ciel off the ground, as Ciel attempts to brush himself off and look respectable. He clears his throat.
"This is one of the servants. Finnian, our gardener."
Finny bounces up to Yako. "Hi! I'm so happy to meet you!"
Yako looks down at the servant, beaming like sunshine at her.
Somehow he reminds her of a dog, the kind that jump up on you and lick your face with crazy joy.
Suddenly she feels a weight crash down on her head.
"Yes, yes, sensei is very pleased to meet you too." Neuro says in a bored manner as he rests his elbow on Yako's head, in the most painful way possible.
Suddenly the butler-who-might-be-a-demon clears his own throat.
"Might I suggest that we continue our introductions, inside?" He gestures to the wide double doors of the manor.
"Sensei would be happy to!" Neuro beams as he practically drags Yako towards the door.
Yako struggles in Neuro's grip as he pulls her past Sebastian.
"I would like to have a small chat with you." She hears the butler whisper.
"What a coincidence, I would too." Neuro whispers back without missing a beat.
Yako bites her lip nervously.
If she has heard what she thinks she's heard, her hypothesis is most likely correct.
'Oh dear,' she thinks. 'What disaster is going to happen now?'
Yes, it is very short. I'm sorry!
Please review anyway, pwetty pwease?
