AN: I do NOT own Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) or D. Gray-Man!
I'm glad for people who reviewed! It made my day! There was also a review from a guest who asked if there was going to be pairings and I'm not sure if I should. I would like your suggestions and I hope that this story/chapter will be worthy of your time!
Sebastian poured the boiled beans into a strainer and let out a heavy sigh. As he had feared, the boiling beans that he had trusted the dumb shinigami to take care of no longer looked pleasing. He would have to make a substitution and use what he had already prepared.
"Really, today everything is going behind schedule. Grelle, if you're done complaining then go make yourself useful somewhere else!" said Sebastian, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
Grelle was no longer complaining because he had his fill of punches and a huge one on his left cheek.
"Sebas-chan! I'm sorry okay! I promise not to bother you anymore so just don't make me hangout with those other lowly servants of yours!" shouted the redhead.
"For your information, those other servants you mentioned are not mine but my masters. I also do not desire them either."
"Oh come one Sebas-chan, you're too serious about this whole contract thing. Can't you just eat his soul right now? I mean, aren't demons supposed to be untrustworthy and-"
Sebastian's fist met with Grelle's right cheek and sent him to the other side of the kitchen.
"Sorry, but I follow in my own code and aesthetics. I don't need to hear your opinion nor do I care."
He smiled and turned back to preparing his master and guests meal. He felt a sudden doom as he hear footsteps of three familiar figures. The door to the kitchen opened and the three whom he dreaded were coming entered with smiles plastered on their faces.
"Mister Sebastian, we've come to make ourselves useful to you! Command away!" said the cheerful gardener.
"Well then. The best way you lot can help is to stay out of the way. How are our guests coming along?"
"Lavi-san is really nice and funny! He showed me pictures of these cool birds from all around the world that I've never seen before!" said Finni.
"That man with the long hair was such a stud," said Mey-Rin who was blushing from head to toe.
Grelle's ears perked up and got up from the corner he was sitting in.
"Who is a stud?" he asked with a mischevious smile.
"Anyways for the time being, if you really want to help, then please see to it that the young master is protected if in any case there is deception in their sleeves."
"Yes Sir!"
The three left again and Grelle stood up too.
"I'm just gonna go and check out this stud that the maid was talking about. Don't worry Sebas-chan! I'm not cheating on you! I'm just going to go look at eye candy!"
He spun on his heels and raced off after the other three who had left already. A crackle of lightning made him turn his attention back to the unprepared dinner. He took out the pork from it's package and was searching for a knife when he heard a vioce.
"Well, who ever you are. I find no pleasure in hiding nor do I find pleasure in searching. Come out who ever you are," said the weary butler.
"Then, since you are such a notorious demon, there is no reason to hide."
The lights flickered on and off as the hollow sound of the door being knocked on reverberated throughout the room. Allen gulped and his eyes trailed to Ciel who was standing behind Kanda.
His eyes where immediately pried off his friends when the doorknob slowly turned. At that moment, to them, the clicking of the doorknob was louder than the thundering or lightning. It slowly swung open and a little girl stood in the entrance of the opened door.
Her white night gown was no longer white and had large stains of blood around the neck area. Ciel felt a twinge of panic but it went away.
"Allen, is she an akuma?" asked Lenalee who was looking at the boy with a raised eyebrow.
"No she is not. I don't sense her as-"
He stopped in mid-sentence. His eye reacted and the familiar clogs spun in circles until it came to a stop.
"She isn't an akuma...but there is one in this house somewhere."
"If she isn't an akuma...then what is she?" asked Lavi.
"Ghost."
They looked at Kanda as he uttered those words under his breath. They turned their attention back to the girl but she was gone. Ciel stepped back and felt a chill in the air around him. Allen turned to look and fell out of the bed in a furry. The other three did so too as they saw what was behind the tiny earl.
"D-Don't tell me..." stuttered Ciel before feeling another twinge in his lungs.
Standing behind Ciel was the ghost and she had her arms wrapped around Ciel's tiny feminine waist. What sent chills down everybody's spine even Kanda's was that she was rubbing her face on his back and smiled.
" My Prince and I will live together forever and we'll make lots of friends."
Ciel slowly turned his head to look at the ghost who was clinging onto him. Allen's eye soon began to search again for the akuma whose presence was close.
"Lavi, come with me! There is an akuma here somewhere. It's a level 4. Lenalee, Kanda, can you two watch over Ciel?"
They all nodded and right when Allen and Lavi was out the door, a loud bang was heard coming from the west side of the building. Allen and Lavi hurried their footsteps and when they stepped into a brightly lit room, what apalled them was the red blood that was splashed everywhere. Allen's eye caught sight of a pile of bodies. He realized it was the servants. Lavi ran ahead and moved them apart to check their pulse.
"They still have their pulses. Finni, you guys! What happened?!"
Finni's emerald green eyes opened and slowly began to loose it's glisten.
"A...monster...he wanted to know where Mister Walker was. Please...help the others. Don't let them die."
He closed his eyes and Lavi checked for his pulse. Allen choked back some tears.
AN: Okay...I had so many ideas pop in my head and I tried make sure that this chapter made some sense. I tend to forget what I write so I'm stuck here rereading. I promise I'll make the chapters longer starting on chapter 6! And the ghost part, I was scaring myself! I was so scared because I was writing and imagining all this stuff in my head. T-T Stuck on the top bunk in the basement by myself...yeah! I hope so far the story is worth it's salt.
