Journey to Japan

"Why do we have to move to Japan?" Finny asks.

"The young master needs to get business partners in Japan to make his business stronger," I explain. "The queen has requested that he go to a school full of rich family's children and also to investigate the random murders going around."

"That's terrible, yes it is," Mey Rin says.

"Yes, and we will be investigating it. Japan contacted the queen because of these murders since she has better investigators than Japan does. We all will be working on it while Ciel, Finny, and Zandra attend school," Sebastian says. "To gain information."

"Where's the young master?" Bard asks.

"In his study doing some paperwork," Sebastian says.

"How long will we be staying in Japan?" Finny asks.

"4 or more years, I guess," I say.

"Until the young master finishes high school or longer," Sebastian says.

"That's a long time, yes it is," Mey Rin says.

"Ho ho ho."

"I should be going. It's time to give the young master some tea," Sebastian says and leaves to the kitchen.

...
A week later...

Today is the day that we're departing. Finny, Mey Rin, Snake, Baldroy, and Tanaka load their things along with young master's things in a limo and load themselves in it and wait till it's time to leave. Pluto also gets inside.

"Young master, are you ready?" I ask, carrying a few bags and put them in the limo.

"Yes, Zandra," Ciel says. "Where's Sebastian?"

"My father should be here any second, he's just making some last minute arrangements," I say.

"Sorry, for the wait, I had to make plans for the riding arrangements after we get off the plane when we get to Japan," Sebastian says, coming up behind us. "As well as locking up the mansion."

"Very well," Ciel says and gets into the limo.

I follow and sit across from him while father gets in the driver's seat. Then off to the airport where Ciel's private jet awaits.

"Would you like me to tell you about the school we will be attending?" I ask.

"Yes, please."

"The name is Ouran Academy the private high school for the elite class. It's located in Bunkyō, Tokyo, Japan. It's mainly attended by the children of rich and famous families. The exception for a scholarship that one student named Haruhi Fujioka has obtained. She is a commoner as they would call it."

"A commoner has made her way into a rich private school?" he asks.

"With a scholarship, she's exceptionally smart and plans to be a lawyer when she grows up," I say.

"She might make a good acquaintance," Ciel says.

"Yes. Anyhow, the school houses five different divisions: Preschool, Elementary School, Middle School, High School, and College."

"All on one campus?" Ciel asks.

"That's right."

"Must be very large."

"Yes, it's owned by the Suoh family. They have their son attending there so he would be a good acquaintance to make as well. Anyway, the students are separated into four classes based on their family's wealth, lineage, influence, and their personal intelligence. Basically, their families pedigree and grades."

"What am I in?"

"I'm getting to that, young master. The order of the classes are as followed: Class A- The Elite or Honor Roll, Grade and Pedigree 100%. Class B Grade and Pedigree 70%. Class C 50%. Then Class D- mostly consists of children from Yakuza affiliated families."

"I'm assuming I'm Class A," he says.

"That's correct. You and I will be in Class 1-A. While Finny will be in class 2-B, since he is announced a year older than us and not as bright."

"Even though you're way older," Ciel says with a smirk.

"That's correct."

"How old are you anyway?"

"Older than you," I say.

"Tell me. That's an order," he says and exposes my contract on the left side of his chest; it glows.

My eyes flash pink.

Yes, he has the contract with my father, but we're splitting his soul, since it's such a big, delicious, large soul. My contact's symbol consists of a circle with a heart on the inside. Just like my father's, but a heart instead of a star. {[(Above pic.)]}

I sigh and take off my glove showing my symbol and place it over the top of my left breast. "As you wish, my lord," I say and bow slightly while still sitting. "I am exactly 4,517 years old."

"Wow, and not a speck of aging," he says, with a smirk. "I guess we should start questioning the kids from Class D if their families are Yakuza families. Yakuza could be behind all of these murders."

"Precisely," I say. "Smart thinking, I wouldn't expect anything less from you."

"You better not," he warns. "Now, how are we gonna be introduced?"

"Since we look so much alike we're gonna be presented as siblings," I say.

"A demon and a human as siblings," Ciel laughs. "Impossible. What are we, twins?"

"Yes, but I will be using Michaelis as my last name saying I took my father's last name while you took mother's."

"Fair enough," Ciel says. He snickers. "Like you could ever be my sister."

"Trust me, I wouldn't want to be your sister, brat," I mumble.

"What was that?"

"That I agree that we could never be siblings."

A few hours later...

After the jet trip to Japan, we get in another limo and drive off to the new estate we will be living in for many years.

"Is the manor built exactly the same as my last one?" Ciel asks.

"Down to every nail," I confirm.

"I'll hold you to that," Ciel says. "You better have built it right."

"If we couldn't build an exact copy of your manor, what kinda butler/maid would we be?" my father and I say together.

Ciel clicks his tongue and huffs while stepping out the limo. "That's right, you'd be completely useless if you weren't."

We hold back the need to slap him and we continue on our way to the manor.

~~~

"Young master, your tea," I say and place it on his desk.

"Thank you," he says and picks it up, taking a sip not looking up from a paper.

Curiosity gets the best of me. "What's it about?"

"It's the rules of the school. It says there's a uniform requirement? Did you have any idea about this?"

"Yes, your uniform is in the closet of your room already," I say and giggle.

"What's so funny?" Ciel asks.

"I think you'll find the uniform different than what you usually wear. I'll say it's a lot better than the girl's uniform. I had to wear a giant banana monstrosity," I say.

"I can't wait to see it on you then," Ciel says with a smirk.

"Well, I asked the headmaster if I could wear the boys uniform. The top with a blue skirt to match the top and he agreed. Sorry to disappoint," I say.

He pouts. "Please go find Sebastian and tell him I'm ready to retire for the night."

"Father is currently out because he... was hungry. I've been put in charge of you until he returns which will most likely be tomorrow," I say.

"Damn soul sucker... I can't have a woman bathe and dress me!" he fusses, horrified.

"If you prefer I will do it blindfolded," I suggest.

He sighs. "Fine," he spits.

We leave his study and head towards his room. I ready the tub and set out nightwear while the tub is being filled.

"Young master, the tub is ready," I say.

"Are you gonna put on a blindfold?" he asks.

"Once we get into the bathroom," I say, pulling out my handkerchief.

We walk into the bathroom and I tie the handkerchief around my eyes. I begin to undress him and put his dirty clothes in a hamper. I listen as he climbs into the water.

"What are you waiting for, an invitation?"

"Just waiting till you're settled," I say and begin washing him off. After I clean him up, I dress him into his sleepwear. I remove the blindfold and tuck him into the bed. "Rest well, young master."

"Zandra?" Ciel calls out.

"Yes, my young lord?"

"Can you stay here till I fall asleep?"

"Yes, my lord." I turn out the lights and grab a nearby chair and set it beside the bed so I can sit in it. "I'll stay here till you fall asleep."

"Sing me something."

"What should I sing?"

"You should know."

"I should've known," I say and clear my throat.

{[(Play video now. It's me singing, I sound better in person, lol, I promise.)]}

"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.

Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay.
Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady.

Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away.
Wood and clay will wash away, my fair lady.

Build it up with bricks and mortar, brick and mortar, bricks and mortar.
Build it up with bricks and mortar, my fair lady.

Bricks and mortar will not stay, will not stay, will not stay.
Bricks and mortar will not stay, my fair lady.

Build it with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel.
Build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady.

Iron and steel will bend and bow, bend and bow, bend and bow.
Iron and steel will bend and bow, my fair lady.

Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold.
Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady.

Silver and gold will be stolen away, stolen away, stolen away.
Silver and gold will be stolen away, my fair lady.

Set a man to watch all night, watch all night, watch all night.
Set a man to watch all night, my fair lady.

Suppose the man will fall asleep, fall asleep, fall asleep.
Suppose the man will fall asleep, my fair lady.

Give him a pipe to smoke all night, smoke all night, smoke all night.
Give him a pipe to smoke all night, my fair lady.

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady."

I take a peek at the young master to find him fast asleep.

"Goodnight, little bro," I say and giggle at my own joke. "You start school tomorrow."

I leave the room and begin to clean the manor.

Sorry very short! The next chapter is three times as long though.
