Chapter 2

Ciel

I sat on the couch in the living area, watching the flames flicker in the fireplace. Sebastian said my tutor would arrive any minute. I looked at the doors, soon wondering what kind of cake or wine they might be serving at the reception. I looked towards the kitchen... maybe I could sneak towards the kitchen to get a peak. After all, don't I have an opinion in it. I mean, why does Lizzy get to choose and I don't?

A gentle knock came to the door, "Sebastian! I waited for Sebastian's footsteps, but the air seemed clear of any noise. "Sebastian!"

I waited some more, but still hear nothing. "Ah, screw it!" I went to the door and opened it, seeing a tall woman around my age with aqua blue hair in pigtails and eyes that seemed to be the same color, "Hello?"

Her voice almost screeched in my eardrums and I held my ears, hoping that would silence her voice, "Kon'nichiwa, anata wa, shieru· fantomuhaivudenakereba narimasen..."

Ciel raised an eyebrow and someone with pink hair and blue eyes came out from behind her, "Excuse me, but she doesn't speak English, but I can translate for her, she said, 'Hi, you must be Ciel Phantomhive."

Ciel nodded... "Okay... and who are you?"

"I'm Luka Megurine and this is Miku Hatsune."

"So... I have two tutors..?"

"No... Miku will be teaching you. I'm just here to translate."

"Oh."

"Lizzy has a tutor, too, right?"

"Sebastian said my maid will teach her, but I don't think that will go too well since her glasses are still are cracked."

"Hm..." She turned towards Miku, "Anata wa, kaitō ga kanojo o oshieru koto ga dekiru yō ni narimasu to omoimasu ka?"

Miku smiled and nodded, running out and bringing in a guy with dark blue eyes and hair. "Does he speak English?"

Luka gave me a smile, that looked a little sheepish in my point of view, "Um... sort of... He's still learning, but I think he's good enough to understand."

Kaito looked around the mansion, "Ice cream? Do you have ice-cream?"

I looked at him, confused, "What?"

"Ice...cream..."

I backed away. What is wrong with this guy? If he's gonna constantly say ice cream, I don't know if I want him anywhere near Elizabeth. Luka slapped Kaito in the arm, "Shut up about your ice cream! You're creeping out the poor boy!"

Kaito looked at the ground looking depressed. I looked towards the stairs, "Sebastian! Sebastian, I order you to get down here!"

My butler came down the stairs, as quickly as possible, fixing his jacket for some reason. "Yes?" He looked at the group of people at the door, "Oh. You're here. Right this way..."

He led the strange people inside and began to talk to them in the living room, about something serious, it seemed. I walked off to the kitchen to see what was going on in there.

Mey-Rin and Bard looked over at me, not disturbed by my presence. Lizzy swallowed a piece of cake, "Ciel! You must try this!"

She walked over to me and shoved a piece into my mouth. I swallowed, "Lizzy!"

"What? I'm not allowed to give you food?"

"No. That was just- I wasn't expecting it!"

"Well wasn't it good?"

"It's dry..."

Bard crossed his arms, "Oh, I'm sorry... I can't make cake as good as Sebastian!"

Mey patted him on the shoulder, "At least you tried..."

Lizzy stood there, "I thought it was good... if you have milk or something with it, it's not too bad..."

"No. Bard, you suck at cooking and I order you to keep practicing with cake! That wasn't even close to good."

I walked out of the room, towards the living room, where Sebastian continued to talk to the three odd-balls. Apparently, they weren't human and were from the future. They went by the name of Vocaloid and spoke to us about Androids and such. Just thinking about a guy being cooped up in a lab, creating man-made people sounds a little scary and pathetic to me, but Sebastian seemed rather interested.
