The group soon had arrived back at headquarters after the encounter with Soma and Agni. Ciel had left the report to Sebastian and was heading back to his room when the door to his right suddenly opened up. He looked over to see Kanda and the teen's expression almost instantly turned sour upon seeing him.
"Oh, um, hi Kanda," Ciel said with a fake smile, trying to seem nice since he didn't particularly want to be on Kanda's bad side… well anymore one his bad side since he still seemed pretty pissed about being beaten by Sebastian before.
"Don't "hi Kanda" me, cut the crap," he snapped with a harshness that made Ciel a little surprised. He stepped out of his room, closer to the boy, still looking agitated. "I want to know what the hell you really are. Why the hell would two "exorcists" know a shinigami?" he snarled and Ciel became worried.
"It was just an accident, we met by chance!" He defended quickly but Kanda didn't look convinced.
"Che, I'm not that stupid shortie. Now tell me the truth or I will make you. Go see Hevlaska if you are telling the truth then, or are you hiding that you are Noah or something?" he said with a glean in his eye as Ciel paled a little.
"W-why would we need to do that, we already proved we are exorcists!" Ciel snapped back.
"Exorcists aren't the only ones capable of killing akuma. You think no one noticed how you avoided seeing her?" he hissed, moving closer and forcing Ciel to back up into the railing.
i "Sebastian do something, we cannot let Hevlaska touch you!" /iCiel thought desperately as he was cornered without a lie to get his way out of this. As he didn't reply instantly, Kanda reached for Mugen.
~Meanwhile~
Sebastian smirked as he sensed what was going on, finding it amusing that Ciel was pinned in another sticky situation. He looked over as the door to Komui's office opened and Lenalee entered. She walked by with a tray of coffee just as the demon got an idea when she suddenly tripped. He dove forward, catching her in one arm and the coffee tray in the other, not spilling a single drop.
"My, my Miss Lenalee you really must be more careful," he purred in a seductive tone with their faces just a few inches apart all in perfect view of Komui. The director's temper flared as he saw his dear sister in the arms of another man and he instantly took action, whipping a remote from his pocket.
"SIR KOMLIN THE FIFTH! ATTACK!" He shouted as he hit the activation button and the members of the science department panicked as they heard the sound of clanking metal footsteps storming their way. The robotic creature burst right through the wall and focused a red eye on Sebastian.
"NO ONE TOUCHES MY LENALEE!" Komui cried as he pressed the button for the robot to lock its target and attack. Sebastian smirked, gracefully setting Lenalee down before bolting in the opposite direction, making the machine give chase.
~Back in the hall~
Ciel and Kanda both looked up as they heard a loud crash upstairs and it wasn't long until they saw a metallic monster racing after the butler dressed in black.
"Not again, damn that Komui," Kanda hissed, drawing Mugen completely but hardly had time to attack before Sebastian zipped by. He scooped up Ciel before one of the metal legs came down right where he had been standing, sending Kanda scrambling to get up when he was knocked aside.
"Was that a suitable intervention my lord?" Sebastian said, looking completely calm even if they were being chased by a psycho's invention.
"A little overly dramatic but yes. Now stop it before someone actually gets hurt," Ciel snorted as he looked back at the disaster the thing was causing.
"Oh I believe that will be unnecessary," Sebastian replied and a moment later Lenalee appeared from above, sending her Dark Boots straight through the head of the machine. Sebastian stopped and put the boy down as she stepped away from the destroyed Sir Komlin.
"I'm sorry about that… Komui's a little… over protective…" She said with a blush, embarrassed that this happened almost every time a man touched her.
"Yeah, just a little," Ciel said in annoyance as said director rushed past and started wailing about his crushed invention. "Sebastian we need to hurry this up. People are beginning to grow suspious," he said as he began walking away.
"Yes, my lord," Sebastian replied simply as he followed the young master like a shadow.
