Chapter V
The Watchdog and Lap Cat
Recap:
Ignoring the two presence I looked at Ciar who was poking at one of the bodies on the ground. In his hand was an unconscious Viscount, the blonde man had a purple bruise forming on his cheek.
"Ciar, you can eat their souls, just make sure not to physically harm any of them, it would rather be a bother to explain why they are missing limbs," my voice clearly rang in the large inclosed room.
I felt sharp stares on my back and turned around.
My eyes met with sea blue eyes that looked rather shocked.
"What is with that look Earl Phantomhive? How you never met another human with a demon contract?"
THIRD PERSON P.O.V.
The hair at the back of Sebastian's neck rose in alarm as he looked at the tall male that boldly stood next to Acacia.
Surprisingly his mouth became dry and his gloved hand's palm started to sweat.
Ciar who immediately noticed Sebastian's reaction smirked as he stood behind his mistress.
Acacia on the other hand, stared blankly at the boy that stood in the cage. Hey eyes hid any emotions as she sheathed her katana.
Ciel's eyes were wide with shock as he stared at the beautifully dress female. Multiple thoughts ran through his mind.
'Who is she? Was she the one in the cage with me? Who in the world is man behind her? He forced me to dance with him earlier...She knows that I'm a Phantomhive!'
At the last thought, Ciel's cheeks blushed in embarrassment, though he quickly hid it with a glare.
"Who are you?" The young Earl demanded as he stood proudly.
The violet haired girl scoffed at the boy's stance and attitude, and placed a hand on her waist. She made no move of answering the boy.
Ciel who noticed this, narrowed at the girl in dislike.
"My Lord, she is Acacia Vandenberg, the Queen's Lap cat."
Ciel's eye widen for a moment before narrowing.
Ciar chuckled in amusement as he stood aside watching the scene unfold in front of him.
While Acacia continued to look at the boy, her back was facing one of guards that was slowly getting conscious again.
Ciar just watched the man slowly get to his feet and grab a sword on the ground. A small smirk made it to the butlers lips as he just watched in excitement.
Both Ciel and Sebastian's eyes widen when the male swung his sword back, aiming at the violet eyed female in front of them.
'Why is her butler just watching and not bringing that man down?!' Ciel thought in horror.
"Seba-!" Ciel started to yell but before he could even finish the command, the small female in front of them unsheathed her hidden katana and stabbed the man through his chest.
Ciel gasped slightly as he watched the blood paint the females clothes, drops of the crimson liquid landing on her cheek. Some of the warm liquid reached where he stood, but his butler quickly got in front of him, getting sprayed instead.
Unlike his master, Sebastian was watching with fascination. Using his hands he wiped the droplet of blood that was on his face. His hands moved to his lips as his tongue darted out of his mouth and licked the rusty tasting liquid.
The Phantomhive butler's dark eyes turned crimson as his canine teeth grew slightly sharp at the familiar taste.
'The smell of her soul is so mouth watering...' Sebastian gasped as he took a step forward.
Ciar who immediately saw the action, appeared in front of his mistress with a smirk.
"Don't you even dare, brat. You're a million years too young of thinking of taking what is mine," Ciar growled and hissed with anger.
Sebastian immediately stood back and looked away from the older demon in slight submission.
The black haired demon had to admit he wasn't foolish or even proud enough to go against one of the oldest demons left in the world.
Ciar triumphantly swung his head to the side before using his hands to comb back his slightly messy brown hair.
"Hurry up Ciar, I'm tired of wearing this ridiculous dress, and I rather not have the blood bleed through and reach my skin," Acacia calmly stated as she continued to eye the other two males who stared at her.
Ciar let out a purr like noise from the back of his throat, "Why mistress, you know I like to enjoy my meals!"
Acacia looked at her butler in annoyance, "Please hurry up before the police arrive and I change my mind. It's going to be a while until you get to eat this much souls."
The browned haired make pouted slightly not nodded.
Both Sebastian and Ciel's eyes widen as the males form started to change in front of them.
Acacia whom already have see Ciar's true form already just watched in boredom.
Ciar's head sprouted furry brown cat ears that were the same color as his hair. Smirking while the transformation, you were able to see his canine teeth grew much sharper than it originally was. His narrow, icy blue eyes became slightly sharper and the color became crimson red.
Ciel shocked by the sight took a step back and started to lose his balance.
Though a hand stabled him. Slightly surprised Ciel looked up and saw a serious looking Sebastian, though the young Earl didn't miss the look of awe appear in Sebastian's eyes.
A look of realization appeared in Ciel's eyes, 'Damn, that man is a demon cat!'
Acacia also noticed the way Sebastian was eyeing her butler's fluffy cat ears. She smirked in amusement and sheathed her family katana and took a step back.
Her amethyst eyes went to her butler that was smiling demonically. She frowned as she noticed that he was enjoying the attention he was receiving.
Ciar's crimson eyes landed on the terrified looking boy before he shot forward. Sebastian immediately reacted and jumped in front of his master but before the black haired demon could comprehend anything, he was thrown into the air and heavily crashed into a wall.
Ciel's human eyes were not able to stay focused on the speed of the demons, and when he noticed Sebastian that stood in front of him was gone, it was too late.
"Boo."
Ciel yelled in shock and fright and fell backwards, landing on his tush. The young male looked up at the mischievously smiling demon.
Ciar enjoyed the boy's fright for another second before he started to work, preparing for his dinner.
With a swipe of his hand the room immediately became chilly, a bone shivering wind starting to pick up.
Ciar sighed, "Mistress you know how much I love enjoying my meals... I'll just have to save these souls for later..." Ciar mumbled to himself.
Sebastian who started to stand back up from his encounter with the wall immediately rushed to his master.
Both male's eyes widen as colorful flame like ball started to appear in the air, being carried by the cold, harsh wind.
Ciel soon realized the colorful fire balls were indeed souls when he watched one leave one unconscious man's mouth, quickly leaving him dead.
"Sebastian, is that how demons eat?" The indigo blue haired male questioned as he lowered his voice.
Sebastian took a while to answer, the dark haired demon wasn't able to tear his eyes away from the scene, "No master, most demons would not have enough power to immediately pull out this much souls in once. I've heard the older demons have the ability to do so, it is my first time seeing something like this as well."
Ciel cursed under his breath, 'If what Sebastian is saying is correct, that cat demon must be extremely powerful....'
Ciar raised his hand with his palm facing up, then he moved his index finger in a 'come here' motion.
Ciel's mouth dropped open as ear piercing screams filled the room, the souls that were carried in the air started to gather in a glass vial like object in the car demon's hand.
As the last soul entered the glass, Ciar closed the cap with a click before smirking at his Mistress.
Faster than the blink the caramel haired male's appearance went back to his human form. And then he appeared behind his mistress who was looking bored.
"We're done here, please grab that man, we are leaving Ciar," Acacia calmly stated as she turned around.
Ciar chuckled and picked the unconscious Viscount and threw him over his shoulder.
He then turned towards the two males and bowed in a mocking manner.
He had a crooked smile on his face as he eyed Sebastian with his icy blue eyes. He then disappeared and stood beside the violet haired female who had her back towards them.
She turned and gave Ciel an mocking smile, her eyes filled mischief much like an cat.
"Earl Phantomhive it was an honor meeting you, through I never thought you have a hobby like this," her amethyst eyes eyed Ciel's choice of clothing before holding in her giggle, "I hope to see you next time uh, in a more appropriate clothing," Acacia chuckled as she struggled with her words on purpose.
Her smile turned into one similar to a Cheshire cats when she saw Ciel's face turn blood red in embarrassment.
The young earl's mouth was opening and closing, unable to produce any sounds, not being able to defend himself.
A delightful giggle escaped the females lips before she completely turned her body towards the males and curtsied mockingly, "Until next time then."
"W-Wait!" Ciel yelled as he reached out towards them but before he could even take a step, the young female and her butler had disappeared with the Viscount.
Ciel cursed under his breath, his blue eyes filled with anger. His tore his wig off of his head as he glared at Sebastian.
"Take me home Sebastian!" Ciel angrily yelled at the black haired man who was frozen in place.
Sebastian seemed to snap out of his shock at his bo-chan's voice and nodded, picking up the smaller male into his arm.
Ciel's eye rows furrowed as a large frown was on his face as he anger boiled from the inside of his soul.
'How dare that women! Insulting and laughing at me!' Ciel fumed as he imagined wrapping his hands around her slim neck.
=AT THE VANDENBERG MANSION=
Acacia was still chuckling as she got herself dressed. As she walked out of her bathroom she immediately noticed Ciar sitting on her head, coming back from throwing Viscount in jail.
The female smiled at her butler, "Was everything alright?"
The browned haired man stood up and looked at his mistress with a black look.
"Are you alright?"
The violet haired girl froze and her eyes slightly widen.
Ciar immediately appeared in front of her, his large hands grabbing her face, staring into her eyes.
Amethyst clashed with blue in an intense stare. Though the female was the first one to look away.
The male didn't miss the look of lost or anxiety in her eyes.
Her strong facade seemed to crumbled as she leaned on her butler, her eyes closed.
Ciar's icy blue eyes softened as he picked up the female and brought her to his lap.
The two stayed silent for a moment, the male obviously aware why his mistress was acting like this.
Everything brought too many memories from back then....
Acacia opened her closed eyes and looked at Ciar.
The demon immediately saw that the emotion from earlier was gone and replaced by a stern, almost emotionless eyes.
"I have a feeling Viscount Druitt had nothing to do with the Jack the Ripper," the female claimed.
Ciar chuckled and clapped his hand, "Impressive my lady. Indeed Viscount Druitt has nothing to the recent murder cases."
The violet haired girl sighed and rubbed her eyes, leaning back into Ciar's chest, "That stupid boy made us do extra work..." She grumbled, "Ciar."
The brown haired male immediately stood up, placing the small female that was sitting on his lap on the bed.
"I command you to find the real Jack the Ripper!"
The man's blue eyes glowed crimson as he went to his knees and knelt, one hand placed on his chest, "Yes, my Queen...."
