Bright and early one morning, Ciel's chibi snoozed inside Sebastian's breast pocket as the carriage was pulled towards the Trancy estate. Ciel had been invited by Alois to discuss some business affairs over tea. Reluctantly, after Sebastian's coaxing, the Phantomhive Earl agreed.
Ciel couldn't stand Alois.
He found the blonde overbearing and annoying.
Upon arrival, Sebastian climbed out first, then helped Ciel down, barely getting his master to the ground before he was practically knocked over by a blonde and purple streak.
"Ciellll!" Alois cried happily, spinning the bluenette around and around.
Ciel began yelling angrily at the blonde in protest.
The noise woke the little chibi who slowly blinked her eyes open, rubbed them with her tiny, black-gloved arms and peered out of Sebastian's coat at the scene.
"Bas-tian?" She cooed quietly, looking up at the butler.
Sebastian looked down at her softly and while the boys were distracted, he raised a finger to his lips, "ssssshhhh." He whispered.
The little chibi covered her mouth with her handless sack arms and made sure to stay hidden, her eyes went to Alois. Though she was a part of Ciel, she didn't recognize him.
"Don't you think you should stop playing with Earl Trancy and get on with business, my lord?" Sebastian asked as Ciel was clawing at the ground, trying desperately to crawl away from Alois's grasp.
"Help me, you idiot!" Ciel snapped as Alois smirked and reached to grab the bluenette's hips.
Sebastian intervened in one swift motion and he held Ciel up where Alois could not reach.
"My apologies, Earl Trancy." Sebastian said, smiling at Alois.
The blonde pouted when he realized he could no longer bully Ciel.
"I was only playing with him! Give him back! I want to play with Ciel some more!" He whined. "We were having such a good time~." The blonde giggled.
"No, we were most certainly not!" Ciel shouted, blushing as Claude appeared in the doorway to the Trancy manor.
"Young master, the tea is ready." The butler informed in his cold, emotionless tone.
Alois frowned but followed his guests inside, the chibi still riding in Sebastian's breast pocket.
As the tea was served, Sebastian stood not far from Ciel, listening to the boys' conversation.
Sebastian knew that Claude and Alois could try anything at anytime. He would protect Ciel at all cost. All of his senses were invested in listening, anticipating their next moves, their next words.
The little chibi grew bored inside Sebastian's coat.
She could feel she was in a new place. Very stealthily, she crawled out of Sebastian's pocket, staying inside his coat, she scooted across his side and down his back, sliding down his coattail to the floor with a gentle "plop" sound.
Alois was making Ciel uncomfortable as usual and Sebastian was so wrapped up in protecting his master he did not notice at first his little lady was gone.
Once she was on the floor, her handless sack arms straightened her hat and she began to toddle along, her dress and hat bouncing as she went, leaving the room to explore this new place.
Ciel handled the business Alois was so desperate to discuss as quickly as he could.
It took much longer than he would have liked.
By then, it was twilight and he exited the Trancy manor quickly with his butler.
Alois stood waving goodbye from the door with a handkerchief.
"That was exhausting." Ciel grumbled as he sat back against the carriage.
"You did well, my lord." Sebastian nodded. Finally, he could relax, ever so slightly.
He glanced inside his coat.
His heart stopped.
She was gone!
Sebastian's eyes widened as Ciel asked, irritated, "What's the matter now?"
"Nothing, my lord, I seem to have dropped…..my watch. It will only take me a moment to retrieve it." Sebastian said quickly with a smile before he opened the moving carriage's door and quickly disappeared into the night.
"What?! Sebastian! SEBASTIAN!" Ciel called out the window, watching his butler dash back to Alois's home.
What was he on about now over a silly watch?
Sebastian's mind raced as he whipped through the trees. He simply had to find his little lady before the blonde did….
Back at the Trancy manor, the little chibi had wandered into the basement, following the scent of new moon drop tea. As she patted a box, a hand grabbed her and pulled her up, up, up….
"Eep!" The chibi squeaked in surprise.
"What have we here?" A soft, feminine voice rang out. The chibi turned to face a dark-skinned, pale-haired woman in a purple dress with a white apron and a patch over her eye.
Hannah Annafellows immediately recognized who and what the chibi was and she chuckled to herself. "I simply must show you to my master, my darling."
