Here I am again, updating extremely late. I hate myself for not updating as often as I wish I could be. But part one of Mating Season is coming to a close soon. I won't start a whole new story, but instead will put up new chapters after a much needed break. School is just an absolute nightmare.

I will also be starting a new Kuroshitsuji fanfic that will be based off of Clue soon. The characters will be as follows:
Sebastian Michaelis as Mr. Boddy
Angelina Durless as Miss Scarlet
Lau as Mr. Green
Claude Faustus as Professor Plum
Hannah Anafeloz as Mrs. Peacock
Agni as Colonel Mustard
Angela as Mrs. White
Ciel Phantomhive as The Detective
I hope you check it out when I get around to writing it.

Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: Nope nope nope.

Mating Season

Everyday Devices

Sebastian smiled, "Of course you can, young mistress."

"What do you mean? There is no way I can keep them in any longer. I can't handle it."

A stern look crossed Sebastian's face, "Now young mistress, you have never said the word 'can't' before and I don't want you to say that ever again. Do what you do best. You may not be able to, but I can. Order me to help you."

Sweat beaded on the child's face, "Sebastian… make this pain go away and do anything to put off what is happened."

"Yes, my lord." He said serenely, "I will be right back."

Ciel watched him go toward the door with wide eyes, "Where are you going?"

Already on the other side of the door, he just gave a conniving smile and closed the door.

Descending down the stairs in a graceful but hurried manner, Sebastian then went through every room of the house grabbing very basic items. After roughly 2 minutes and 13 seconds, he got everything he needed and went back up to the bedroom where a distraught Ciel was.

Sebastian took a towel and dunked it into a bucket of cold water. After wringing it out, he placed it on Ciel's forehead. He then took out a glass of wine and poured a small amount into a glass. Ciel looked at all the things he had brought: towels, wine, water, flowers, candles, and a box of matches.

"These are just common household items! It looks more like things for a romantic evening!"

The butler grinned and handed Ciel the glass of wine, "Drink it. Alcohol relaxes the muscles and it will help slow things down. It won't affect the children, I promise."

She snatched the glass from him and took a few sips, "You've gone mad."

"Everyday devices have enterprising uses when they're in the right hands, but for the wrong reasons. Delightfully delicious is dangerous abuses when they're in the right hands, but for the wrong reasons. If I were really your butler, any household item would be good enough to fix this. Just as long as I'm with you, any simple gadget would most definitely do."

Setting the now empty wine glass on the bedside table and taking the flowers now offered to him, Ciel scoffed, "I don't believe that nonsense. I think you are giving me nonsense. It's all your fault I'm in this mess. I'm sorry for what you did. So next time keep under control. Just stay away from me."

Sebastian instructed the teen to sniff the flower and bite a petal, which she did. He nodded in satisfaction and wagged his finger, "Now make your accusations and be sure the clues all fit. But if there is a shred of doubt, you know you must acquit."

Ciel batted the waving finger away from her face and tossed the flower somewhere unknown. The demon continued, "Yes I was very selfish when I executed my intention. But you lost nonetheless, perhaps we must address, a little retribution."

"My revenge isn't on you Sebastian. I forgave you long ago."

"How are you feeling, my lady?"

Ciel opened her mouth as if to fuss but suddenly stopped and had a more calm expression on her face, "I actually feel better."

"Good." Sebastian said smiling and reaching for the box of matches, "I will light a candle for the burning wax helps to soothe the brain and relax the body." He did so, "Now, I am going to go contact Lady Reed to let her know the time is drawing near. I will prepare a nearby guest room for her to stay until the time comes. Will you be okay now?"

The teen nodded, "Yes I'm sure I'll manage. Go do what needs to be done. I'll lie down, I guess."

The demon grinned and took his leave and went down the hall to the phone. Lifting it off the hook and putting it to his ear, he dialed the number for Rachel Reed.

"Hello?"

"Good day, Lady Reed. This is Sebastian Michaelis at the Phantomhive manor. Ciel has been experiencing some labor pains today and feels it would be best that you would stay here for the next week or so until the time comes for your services to be required."

"Is that so? Well! That went faster than I expected! Understood, I will be down there tomorrow morning. I'm sure he can hold on until then."

"Indeed, miss. Good bye."

"Wish Ciel good luck."

I hung up the phone, grinning wickedly. I grabbed a lit candelabra and walked slowly down the dusky hallways, rain still coming down at full force.

"So now we play our little game, my favorite. You try your best and play the game to win. And no matter if you land on top or bottom, you've played it. And now it's time to play the game again. The game has now begun. Let's begin the fun. From here it's all or none for my daughter and son."

It's so firkin short! *whines* I hate that this was so short, but I had to write something! I felt like you deserved it! In happier news, my birthday is in less than 2 weeks! I'm excited! But I'm so disappointed in myself. *dies*

Rachel: REVIEW AND SEE WHAT THE SHINIGAMI ARE UP TO RIGHT NOW!

Me: Yes! Next chapter will be about the shinigami! Bye for now, my loves!
