~Blueberries, Strawberries, and a Roll~
A knock came at the door at the Phantomhive manor, Tanaka went to answer it and a certain butler walked in.
"Might I see the young master?" The butler asked calmly.
"Yes of course." Tanaka answered and led the demon up to the young masters office.
Ciel looked up when the knock came at the door.
"Come in.."
"Young Master, you have a guest.." Tanaka said as he stepped to the side and allowed Ciel to see who now stood in the door way. The boy phantomhive for a moment was a slight fearful but then regained his composure.
"Claude?" Ciel commented as he stood from his desk. Alois ran over to him and ran behind the desk, wrapping his arms around his fellow Neko. Ciel's ears went down.
"Good afternoon Ciel. I've come because I received a message from your master saying that he was incapable of caring for you at this time and asked me to take you back to my manor with me." The demon answered.
"I appreciate the thought, but I am in no need of care at the moment." The boy returned and set back down in his chair, picking up the quill and again filling out more documents.
"I understand." The butler said but then walked up to Ciel and picked him up, walking out the door.
"Please excuse me." Claude bowed as he carried a squirming Ciel out to his carriage, the three servants were busy in the kitchen preparing lunch so they didn't know about the current event.
"Of course." Tanaka said as he watched. Sebastian had explained the details of his and the boys relationship long ago. Back when the young lord was first brought home after being in the lab for experimentation. He understood that Sebastian had Ciel's best interest.
"Tanaka! Help! Do not let him leave with me!"The boy screamed but it was no use. Alois was enjoying it, watching the boy fail miserably at escaping his precious Claude's grasp. Tanaka bowed to the young Ciel and solemnly closed the manor doors. Ciel watched in horror as he was carried away and put in the carriage with Alois, then driven off.
"Alois. What is the meaning of this." Ciel hissed as he twitched his ear slightly, his tail sitting on his lap with him.
"Hehe, master says that you did something really bad and that Sebastian won't be back for a few days. So you're staying with us. ^^" The blonde snickered as he wagged a finger in front of the Ash colored Neko's face.
"Tsk, tsk..such a naughty kitten..hehehe.." Alois but then sat back on his seat and the two remained silent for the remainder of the trip to the Trancy manor.
The door to the carriage opened and Claude attached a leash to the Neko Ciel's collar after fighting with him for a moment about it. Ciel had received quite a hard flick to the nose which made his eyes water slightly and allow the demon butler to clip the leash. They walked into the manor and Ciel and Alois were put in a fairly large room with all sorts of amazing Neko toys. There were gymnast type toys to play on, rings and swings and ropes to climb up to higher platforms near the ceiling with slides that went down as well as rope ladders. As well as balls to play with and blocks, as well as other small typical toys, stuffed animals and such.
"Wh..what is this place?" Ciel asked feeling very off.
"It's Alois's play room." Claude answered as he left and closed the door which locked behind him. Ciel panicked and ran to the door but it wasn't opening for anything he did. He even tried picking the lock but that proved fruitless as well.
"Come on Ciel, I've tried for hours to get that door open, there's no way you're going to be able to-"
Alois was cut off when the door suddenly opened and he walked out.
"Just takes a little finesse." The boy answered pridefully and walked out, Alois following closely behind.
"Hehehe, where do you want to go?" The blonde Neko asked adorably as he danced around the other Neko.
"First, keep it down. Claude will find us gone soon enough, we don't need to shorten that time. As for where to go, anywhere away from here."
"Awww, I like my manor. Hmph.." The blonde complained as he followed Ciel.
"It's not your manor you blubbering idiot.."
"You always so mean too!"
"Shut up!"
"No you shut up! You started it!"
"I highly disagree."
"Mleeeehhhh" Alois said as he pulled down his lower eye lid and stuck out his tongue, revealing his own contract.
They made their way into the kitchen because Alois kept whining loudly about being hungry, so as much as Ciel hated it, he couldn't have the child give him away because of his stomach.
"Alright hurry up and grab something, grab a roll or something of the sort that can come with us easily."
Alois skipped around the empty kitchen and grabbed a sack, dumping blue berries and strawberries into it as well as a roll. Just because Ciel had told him to.
"Okay, we can go now." The blonde snickered as he popped a blue berry into his mouth.
"Hmm..where exactly?" A voice came from someone other than Ciel. The phantomhive noticed it right away but for a moment Alois still thought it was his friend that answered him. Ciel gritted his teeth and shoved Alois into Claude and took off running. He should have known that fool of a Neko Alois would ruin his plan of escape.
Ciel ran and ran but found a strange aura clung to the air around him. He shivered a bit and stopped running, feeling quite claustrophobic.
"Who's there?" He demanded the space around him. As a reply, four other individuals decided to show themselves. Three of which might have been counted as one, as they were triplets. And the fourth was Hannah Annafellows. His doting nurse from the lab.
"Tsk..Great...more of you..I recognize this feeling. You're all demons too aren't you..that greedy bastard Alois." The boy sighed and received blank expressions from the lot of them.
"Hmph..annoying this one." Said twin number one.
"Totally, seriously.." Replied twin number two.
"Needs an attitude adjustment.."Followed twin number three.
"Oh that's real cute. Do you always finish each others sentences?" Ciel growled as he backed up but found him grabbed by the back of his shirt and lifted off the ground. "Uh! Set me down this instant!" The boy cried as he kicked and squirmed.
"Please don't make me hurt you.." Claude asked in a dark voice as he carried Ciel and Alois back to the play room, only this time he posted the triplets as guards. "You won't like it if you leave this room again, still..I commend you for figuring out how to get out. Play nice." Claude finished and then left the room closing the door behind him. Which, of course, locked.
Ciel sighed and leaned against the wall. He was done with these wild goose chases and decided to give in for the night.
"Come play with me!" Alois called as he swung on a rope. The phantomhive boy scoffed but, couldn't help but follow the swinging rope with his cat eyes.
"Mm..I'll...play for a little bit, but just so that you'll shut up about it." He said with a slight blush across his cheeks and felt happy with his excuse. He went over and took off his over jacket so that it was just his white long sleeve lose shirt underneath. He fought it but smiled as he jumped up on the rope beside Alois, instantly enjoying the moment. He laughed and smiled as did Alois as they climbed and swung together, climbing there way up to the top platforms where the slides were to get back down.
"Hmhm...my work here is finished." Claude said quietly to himself as he walked away from the door and went back out to the lobby to make sure that the preparations for dinner were being cared for.
...
*Me and Ciel enjoying Mc Donalds meals.*
Ciel: You mean, this stuff is actually food? Seems kind of fake to me, but...why does it taste so good?
Me: Hmhmhm..that my dear innocent child, is what we call MSG.
Ciel: *Gasp* That sounds deadly what is it? Is it a poison? I knew I should have never trusted you!*flail*
Me:No you bonehead, its not poison. Well...at least in small doses like in that cheeseburger. It's simply an ingredient added to help it's owners to enjoy it to its full potential.
Ciel:...
Me: Really...It's oka-*Shiver, horrified expression*
Ciel:Let me guess..that demon butler of mine is right behind me isn't he..*Noms huge bite*
Me:*nod nod*
Ciel: Creepily hovering over me?
Me:*nod nod*
Ciel:Bring it on...*Spins around shoving cheeseburger in Sebby's mouth.* Taste the wrath of MSG!
