A/N: Hello, back. I'm here with Chapter 10. Very sorry that it took a while to update! I have been having writers block for this story… Hehe. I have recently heard that my constant changing POVs are getting quite annoying, so I have decided to switch the POVs every chapter. I hope this fixes the issue.
Update: Thank you Paxloria for telling me where I messed up... I fixed it! Sorry... My mind completely forgot to spell Bardroy's name.
Disclaimer: Go back to Chapter 9, read it, and move on.
Ciel's POV
The morning was a disaster. Sebastian and I have been trying quite hard to keep the guests under control, yet they run around like lunatics. Grownups are such a pain. Yet, every time I lock gazes with the boy with blonde hair, he glares at me with his green eyes. This is not his fight, and he should keep his distance. There was another issue in the air though. I talked to Sebastian about the girl who always follows him.
"She does not feel human, yet she does at the same time. What a unique being," Sebastian said, pulling his white gloves on so he could hide the contract.
"Would she be able to place contracts onto other beings, just like devils?" I ask, hoping that this girl wouldn't cause any trouble. Sebastian smirked, and as he looked at the girl, his eyes glowed for a moment.
"Who would say?" He walked down the stairs to usher the knav- I meant guests to breakfast. As I walked down to eat as well, the green eyed boy came up to me.
"What do you want?" I closed my eyes, or the one visible to him, and rubbed my temple tiredly.
"My name is Oz," He grumbled at me. "I would respect it if you could call me that from now on."
"And so, state your business, Oz," I stress out his name, showing how I don't give any interest on this conversation whatsoever.
"Why can I not help you with this? You can't have the entire burden to yourself," Oz glared at me, wanting a part on this murder investigation. I can't have the entire burden? I have so many already, why not just add one more?
"You can help me if your butler is able to beat mine," I grin. I knew that there was no way that his wimpy, cowardly butler could beat mine. But suspiciously, he also wears all dark clothes, just like Sebastian.
"You're on!" Oz yells, jumping up in the air. "And he's not a butler, he's a valet. Now, where is he?" As he went off yelling something about a 'Gil', I needed to focus on this. He could not be the same boy in the cage. He was too… Happy. Was he scarred? Or was he just stupid in general?
After breakfast, everyone gathered in the main hall, where his butler and mine were going to fight.
"What type of battle would you like to fight at?" Sebastian asked the so-called Gil.
"Well," Gil looked off at his master, who was jumping up and down, yelling his name and waving pom-poms. Perhaps I should sell that for the Futom company; it could be quite profitable. "I would like to attempt fencing…?"
Fencing. Of all the things he could've chosen, he picked fencing. Since Sebastian teaches me fencing, I have full expectations for him.
"Here you go!" Sebastian smiled as he handed Gil a fencing sword. Gil gave a stern look in return, and grabbed sword, and stood in a position. Hmm, perhaps he wouldn't be as bad as I thought.
"En garde!" I yelled, raising my hand. Sebastian got into his position as well, holding his sword by his waist. "Allez!"
They both lunged at each other, pairing and swiping. The winner would succeed if they got to ten points. Yet so far, none have landed a blow.
"Seaweed head! If you don't win, I will punish you!" The girl with long hair screamed, distracting Gil and Sebastian tapped at his chest.
"One point," I call, and they go back to their positions. That girl, I would need more information on her. I called Bardroy and Mey-rin over, and told them their orders. They bowed, and walked off. Again, the two engaged into a full out battle of clinging of the swords. The guests oohed and ahhed as they watched this wonderful scene in front of them, taking their minds off of the murders for the moment.
"Well done, butler," Gil huffed, thrusting his sword, and Sebastian ducked.
"Same to you, Valet," Sebastian lunged forward, but Gil parried with his sword.
Sebastian then sidestepped as Gil moved forward, swiping with his sword. As they continued, I snuck out of the room, to where someone was awaiting me. Who, I wouldn't reveal it now. You must know that I don't reveal such trifle things. We both engaged in a conversation about the murders, and what we thought about it. When I returned, both were tied at nine points. How dare Sebastian let his guard down, I would have to talk to him later about it. Now, it's down to one point. Who would win, I wonder?
A/N: Cliffhanger! Sorry if I got the fencing parts wrong… I never fenced or learned anything about it before. How's this for the POV changes? If it is still in issue… Please review or PM me, and we can find a way to talk about it. I hope you enjoyed it, and will come back to read the next chapter. Thank you. Yours truly, Ryoma and Oz.
