Obsessed with you!: Chapter 4- A secret?

Minnna, Ohayo! (hehe, it isn't even morning here) XD

So Anyway, this is my fourth chapter and I'm not really proud of it,

though I really enjoyed writing this. I hope that you like it...

please review! This is my own interpretation, and a few parts may not correspond with the eon associated with Kuroshitsuji, which I deeply regret. How is it, anyway? :)

Elizabeth rang the doorbell, and then waited impatiently outside a beautifully furnished estate, bearing the name of the Phantomhive clan. Outside, the bellowing of the winds were like the chimes of a lyrical, pleasant mobile, and the chattering of young ladies only added to the colorful, rich scene, and it almost appeared reminiscent of a riot of colors.

Ciel opened the door, dressed in his usual attire. His demeanor was typical.

"Umm...", Elizabeth looked away. Then, looking at Ciel sharply,

accentuated, "Don't misunderstand me. I only came here to give you this."

Ciel took his coat from her soft, pale hands.

He looked astounded and amazed. Sebastian, who was lingering near the doorway,

inferred, amused, "Young Master didn't say anything."

Sebastian winked at Elizabeth, teasing her. She frowned.

"I didn't come here for this", she affirmed.

"For what?" said Ciel, who was busy reading a letter, and chose not

to comment on Sebastian's remarks.

"Forget it", Elizabeth told him.

"Won't you invite me in? I want to check if you really are worthy

of being my fiancée."

Ciel was startled. Gathering his wits, he thanked his stars for the early fortune. However, his happiness ebbed as his mind was flooded with worry.

"Hey, did you visit your family?"

"No", she answered, stepping without further hesitation into the palatial mansion.

She looked at each crevice, appreciative, and for once Ciel thought that she seemed very much like she had adopted her former individuality.

She looked at the vintage furniture, the chandelier, the hearth, and then, giving a tiny nod, went up the stairs to investigate the further rooms.

Ciel promptly started walking up the stairs, but was yanked behind by his muscular and strong aide.

"What the...? Owww! What are you doing, Sebastian!"

Ciel shot back, irate and annoyed.

"Shhh...Master. Let me enlighten you. Don't run behind her, Master. That is the secret to wooing women!"

Ciel looked baffled, and a tiny part of him was inquisitive and curious.

"How do you know the dynamics of a human mind? You're a demon."

Ciel looked like he was explaining something patiently, to a child.

He patted a surprised Sebastian on the head.

"I've surmised that you do not know me Master. After all, I'm-"

"One hell of a butler, I know."

"That I am, but I've lived long enough to know, Master. I've heard about this a lot."

"I can't believe I'm giving in to you. What should I do?" Ciel looked displeased, but Sebastian knew that behind this visage, Ciel was actually eager and yielding.

"It's real simple. She wants to test your worth. Bring the choicest of dishes that I MYSELF have prepared from the kitchen, and lay it on the table with poise as if you made it yourself! And, wear an apron and apply some flour on it (so that it appears as though you really did cook), sprinkle some water so that you will appear to be perspiring and then roll back your sleeves so that you- "

"Yeah right, like I could've made all those dishes only in an interval of a few minutes."

"Plan B it is!"

Ciel motioned to Sebastian to remain quiet, and then they both waited to observe if there was any reaction at all, from Elizabeth. After their doubt ceased to exist, Sebastian continued, unremitting.

In the interim, Elizabeth nimbly, adroitly and elegantly made her way through the corridors that she used to know so well. Her sharp looked really emphasized the beauty of her eyes as she moved.

"Ciel...?" She looked back for the third time to ensure that Ciel's was tracing her path. Inwardly, she was disappointed. She had never planned to invite herself to his house, but she had been blissful when she had realized that he was not a bad person, but rather nice, and successful and flourishing.

Now, walking through the walk lonely corridors she felt that same void which she had felt back at the hospital. The counselors had all tried to probe into her life, tried to analyze her feelings and mould her into someone she wasn't, as if they knew her better than she did.

Honestly, she had wanted Ciel to show her around.

"That would be better than walking alone, right... I don't really want him with me!", she convinced herself, and then stopped as she saw an old framed picture of Ciel and herself, and couldn't help feeling...wistful, homesick and evocative.

Though, of course, she didn't understand any of the feelings which were contained in that picture, worth a thousand words.

Sebastian's POV

I was giving Young Master some suggestions, joking with him a bit. I am not a ebullient type of demon. Demon's do not posses feelings like humans. Young Lady always tried to explain to me that feelings transcended everything else. I didn't see the point.

I am only trying to make things simpler for everyone.

If my master is unhappy, I too will remain restive and dismal.

Hence it is better to lighten the atmosphere a bit. Though I believe that Mey-Rin is the best at that sort of stuff. She falls at least a dozen times in a day, mostly happens when either I or Tanaka is standing near her. Though it is an atrocious waste of Master's property, it really helps everyone in the house, all for different reasons. I, for once, can take a little break from work, claiming that I am helping Mey-Rin. All I do is save her and then scold her and then dismiss both myself and her. Tanaka-sama, always merrily teases her. He's so sweet. He helps everyone and looks like a proper picture of a gardener. Master, too, has a soft corner for Mey-Rin due to her comical clumsiness. Her skirt, too flies a lot on windy days.

Young Lady came running down from the stairs. Maybe it was a delusion, but her eyes appeared to be moist with tears.

Master was too busy. He got ready fast and made preparations to make a casual visit to the Queen to update her on his current quest.

One interesting thing I noted was that Miss Elizabeth Midford, labeled a wintry, insecure, tsundere was looking at Ciel in a yearning way.

Young Master, guess my formula of ignoring women really works!

Please please please review! Kyaaa! I love LizzyXCiel! So much moeeee! :)
