Disclaimer~ I don't anything from Black Butler / Kuroshitsuji. All I own is my character Stephanie/Lycoris.
Drinking out of my Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler mug with my coffee in the early morning really helps inspire me to keep typing this story haha~!

"Miss Stephanie the young master is calling you, oh yes he is," Mey Rin the red headed maid with glasses called out. Which I was cleaning the foyer.
"Thanks Rin, mind finishing the rest?" I throw the cleaning rag to her, who figdets around trying to get a hold of it. Once caught she smiles and triumph.
I make my way to the young masters office, quickly and silently. Its been three week exactly, sense I started living with little Ciel and everyone else. First week was a damn bloody nightmare! Sebba went crazy teaching me all I needed to know to be in the Phantomhive manor. And a butler to the young master. Little Ciel also gave me name, Stephanie. I didn't mine at all, it was simpler that way anyway.
Besides all that, it really is nice. To live here, and be surrounded by nice people like the workers here. And not be treated like trash. Even though there was that time Ciel called me that... Oh well, time to focus on my goal!
"You called young master?" I say peeking my head into the office. Then fully step into the room.
"Indeed," Little Ciel says without so much of a glance towards me. Working hard on some document by the looks of it, "I need you to head into town. Pick up my new cane, and seeing as your a woman and you and Lizzy get along so well... Could you please pick her out something as a gift for her birthday."
"Little Ciel..."
"Its master Ciel," he set he's pen down glaring at me, "Stephanie learn to adress me as 'Master', 'Young Master', or 'My Lord'. Tsk! Honestly Sebastian, have hired someone so incompetent that can't adress someone properly?"
"I am sorr-" Sebastian began but was cut off by me.
"No Sebastian has no fault in this. Sorry to upset you young master, but due to the fact that your sending me into town to but Lady Elizabeth's gift, quite frankly upset me."
"Ooh? You are not here to question me, your here to do as I say. Understand Stephanie?"
"I speak out if I see it wrong. And wouldn't a gift bought by the one she cares for the most mean more? Then from a simple servent of her fiance?"
"Stephanie watch yourself," Sebastian walked up infront of me. And by the looks of it, he wasn't too happy by my outbrust.
Hey, I like expressing myself. And hell, I call it how I see it. And this was wrong. Little Ciel is lazy...
I looked pasted Sebastian, seeing Ciel deep in thought. He then noticed I was staring at him, "I see... Haaa... Sebastian get the carriage ready. Then afterwards, prepare dinner. Stephanie shall accompany me to town, she'll help me pick out something for Lizzy."
"Ah, very well young master. I'll see to it right away."
Bowing, Sebba took he's leave to prepare everthing.
Hearing him say that, just brought a smile to my face. Ciel noticed the face I was making. A face that said, 'I wanna hug you so badly!' and sighing he said, "You may hug me when he's not around. Otherwise, he won't let me live it down for as long as I live..."
I finished for him to be done explaining. Quickly, I hugged him, "Cute!"
"Don't... Call me cute, Stephanie!" He grunted and freed himself from my grip, "Now shall we go?"
"Yes, my lord," I say as I bow to him while getting the door for him.
(in town)
"Would Lizzy like this..?" Ciel asked as he held out a dress. It was a really hideous green colot and it just wasn't... cute enough for Lizzy...
"Young master do try a little harder... And that would be a bloody hell no..."
"What kind of lady are you? To be speaking ill like that?" Ciel raised an eyebrow at me?
"A hell of a lady, master."
Rolling he's eyes at me, he wandered more into the store. He then asked for help, but they said the same thing as I did. Growling, he gave up and searched quietly.
Eventually, after an hour or almost two he found something. And he didn't just pick it to get out of it quickly. Like he was trying to do for the pasted hour or so. He actually stared at it, while in deep thought. That was no all, he also went to find matching shoes, necklace, and a hat that went along with it too. He also had a faint genuine smile across he's face.
"I'm sure she'll love it. Its so cute, she really,should've been here to see this young master," I say as I come up behind him placing my hands on he's tiny shoulders.
He slight looked or tilted his head to look at me, "Not another word..."
Chuckling, we made our way out of the store. Ready to head home. When I hear a faint melody. A familiar melody...
Stopping I start scanning the area. Hoping to pin point where its coming from.
"Stephanie what's the matter?" Ciel's voice broke through, but not enough to make me pay attention to him.
"Can you hear that..?" I ask him.
"Hear what? All I hear is the crowd of people passing by!"
"There it is!"
I take of dashing towards the melody. It was really faint but I remember it... London Bridge... If I'm mistaken.
I make it to an empty ally way, stop for a sec. Listening. I don't hear it, but I see a shadowy figure turn the corner. Deciding whether to follow, that's when I hear it again! Only closer!
(after five minutes)
After turning left and right. Going up and down. Basically in every direction. I make it to a store. A small one, and by the looks of it, it looked like an antique store.
Staring at it, debating whether to go in or not. For the melody was emerging from then inside of the store. It all had a familiar feeling to it.
Taking a deep breath, I decide to go in. But as I'm about to reach for the handle, my arm is yanked backwards?!
"The h-"
"Stephanie! What in... God's name... are you doing?!" A breathless Ciel said panting, "Your job... Is to do what... I say! Do you understand..!?"
"Yes, but-"
"No buts, I order you to take me home!" He grunted as he started calming down, and catching he's breath.
"But the melo-"
"NOW!" He roared, surprising me a bit.
Looking back at the door once more. I quietly say, "Yes... My lord..."
