This is my first time writing a Kuroshitsuji Fanfiction so please go easy on me! This story is told through the eyes of thirteen year old Victoria Durless and how she joins Ciel in his adventures from Episode 3 of the anime as she searches for her brother. I will only write about the anime episodes that she would more or less appear in. She almost has a similar personality to Ciel about revenge, except she would rather do the revenge herself than get help from a demon. So here is the first chapter of the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji; however I am the owner of the OC that is included in this Fanfiction.

Enjoy! :-)

Chapter 1: Lizzy's unexpected appearance

Run. That was the first thing that always came to mind whenever I dream up the same spine trembling flashback. It is the one that I remember the most vividly since it was the day I lost the one thing that was dear to me. The two men that had originally been chasing me appeared to have given up; however I continued to run. I wasn't going to risk stopping until I was sure I was far enough away from them. The streets were dark and cold. I was running through a maze of different alleyways. A light brown ragged dress was what was covering me. My face, hands, arms and legs were grubby. I was barefooted. My heart was thumping rigorously against my rib cage. My feet were sore and aching terribly. My legs were close to collapsing underneath me; however I didn't care. My life and what had happened to my brother were all on my mind as I continued to run.

I quickly dashed around the corner into another alleyway when suddenly I hit something hard in front of me. I found myself falling to the floor flat on my back. A sharp pain ran up my spine as I hit the ground. I closed my eyes tightly as I felt the pain slowly creep up my spine. I prevented myself from crying out in agony so I didn't draw any unwanted attention.

"Be careful you filthy brat! You almost sent me flying!"

I slowly opened my eyes and glanced up to find an angry looking man glaring down at me. He had long red hair and yellow eyes. He wore a black vest, white shirt, black trousers and black high heel shoes. Wait, black high heeled shoes? Why would a man be wearing black high heeled shoes? He continued to glare at me horridly, expecting me to reply.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?"

I continued to stare at him slightly dazed before I replied.

"Why are you wearing high heeled shoes if you're a man?"

Don't ask why I said this! I was slightly dizzy and confused at the time. What I had just said seemed to anger the red head even more.

"How very dare you! I prefer to be known as a woman!"

I continued to stare at him confused. It still hadn't occurred to me until after the incident that he was a man that wanted to be a woman. Plus I was only ten years old then. I didn't really understand the concept. At the time, I had no clue what the hell was going on. All that was running through my head was that I needed to get up and get away as quickly as possible. The red headed man sighed annoyed.

"Whatever, I don't have time for this stupidness!"

I watched as he dashed off around the corner; however he hadn't been alone. As I began to get up slowly back onto my feet, I heard the sound of footsteps echoing down the other end of the alleyway. I froze as a young woman suddenly came around the corner. She had chin length red hair and red eyes. She was wearing a red hat with a black ribbon tied around it, a red waist coat with what looked like a white ruffled blouse underneath, a red skirt, black gloves and red high heeled shoes. She appeared to be some rich noble. The woman was staring at me surprised. My eyes widened with fear. I wasn't expecting anyone else to be around now…

"Are you all right, little girl?" She asked gently. "Are you lost?"

Her voice may have sounded kind but I wasn't a fool. I wasn't going to trust her that easily.

"Get away from me!" I cried. "I don't want to be taken away! Not like my brother was!"

I quickly turned to run but I ended up tripping and landed face first on the ground. I heard the sound of the woman's footsteps rushing towards me. I felt her hands grab hold of both my shoulders gently as she carefully helped me up onto my knees.

"Are you hurt?" She asked concerned.

I yanked myself roughly away from her grasp and began to edge slowly back against the alley wall to get away from her. My eyes began filling up with tears.

"Don't touch me! I don't want to be taken away! Leave me alone! I want my brother! I want my brother back!"

The tears soon poured out of my eyes. I couldn't hold them back any longer. I wrapped my arms around my knees tightly and began sobbing into them. I was trembling uncontrollably. I felt the woman's hand on my back as she gently patted it.

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about but I'm not going to take you away. I'm only trying to help you. There's no need to be afraid"

I slowly lifted my head to gaze into her crimson red eyes with my blue teary ones. She smiled kindly at me. Her smile was again tempting but I was still unsure as to whether to trust her or not.

"They took my brother…" I stated quietly, finally deciding to speak. "They took my brother and tried to get hold of me too… I ran for my life and left my brother behind… He told me to get away…"

"Who took your brother?"

"Two men did. They came out of nowhere"

"Where were your parents?"

I stared down at the ground as my eyes began to fill with tears again.

"I don't have any parents…" I choked.

The tears were threatening to pour out of my eyes again; however I tried my hardest to prevent them from falling. I didn't dare look at the expression the woman had on her face. From what my brothers and I had been through, people always looked down on us for looking and acting the way we were. It wasn't our fault we were left abandoned! It wasn't our fault we acted the way we did! We had to fend for ourselves! It wasn't our fault! It wasn't! The reaction that came next was quite a surprise for me as I hadn't expected a woman of her class to even suggest such a thing…

"I'd feel guilty if I left you out here on your own… These streets are really dangerous at this time of the night anyway. How about I adopt you?"

I glanced up at the woman with widened eyes.

"You would adopt me?"

The woman smiled warmly.

"I don't have any children of my own and I don't want to leave you out here on your own to fend for yourself! I can also help you look for your brother as well if you want!"

A sudden thud woke me up from my flashback. Damn it, I fell asleep in the carriage again! I really need to start getting some proper sleep… I glanced out the carriage window just as the Phantomhive Manor finally came into view. I was on my way to visit Ciel to check on how my mother's butler Grell was getting on. And if you're wondering who I'm referring to as "my mother" it is in fact Madam Red. She was the young noble woman who found me in that alleyway that night and took me in as her adopted daughter. She has also been trying to help me look for my brother for the last three years; however we have had no success. People noticed that I was her adopted daughter because I look nothing like her. My hair is coloured blonde instead of red and my eyes are blue instead of red. I had no idea why she was sending me to check on Grell though. She had a day off from work today anyway so she could have gone. Why she even hired Grell in the first place also remained a mystery to me…

Grell was basically quite useless as a butler. He was really clumsy and a bit of a drama queen. He always broke things, messed things up or lost concentration and whenever he got scolded for it he attempted to commit suicide! Grell was a right handful, I mean don't get me wrong he is quite a nice person; although he needs to work on being a butler very badly. That is why my mother decided to have Sebastian coach Grell at the Phantomhive Manor (Much to Ciel's displeasure…). My mother is very fond of Sebastian and by very fond I do mean VERY fond. In fact, it's so bad that it almost looks like she is in love with him which kinda freaks me out a bit. Well I'm praying that Grell hasn't caused Ciel any trouble whatsoever, even though I am highly doubting it.

The carriage finally halted abruptly in front of the entrance to the Phantomhive Manor. I carefully got out of the carriage and smoothed down any creases that had appeared on my dress from sitting down for so long. I was wearing a black dress with layers on it. The dress had long sleeves; however they were quite narrow. The collar of the dress was quite high and had a white double ruffle fill laced around it. I slowly walked up the steps towards the front doors and gently knocked on it. There was no reply. I knocked again but slightly harder this time. Still there was no reply. Huh, how unusual. I thought Sebastian would have answered the door by now… I knocked again for the third time and waited patiently for someone to answer the door. Still there was no reply. I remember Ciel telling me that if no one answered the door the third time to just walk in. Taking a deep breath I slowly opened the double doors.

I got the biggest shock of my life! The entire main entrance in the manor had been re-decorated. I could see colourful ribbons tied along the walls and staircase. Stuffed toys were placed on tables that were up against the walls where the vases were supposed to be. Even the wallpaper had been changed! It had stickers of hearts and stars printed all over it. Oh dear… I'm sure Ciel wouldn't even have decided to decorate the main entrance like this…

"Victoria, why are you gaping in the doorway?"

I leapt with fright and swirled around to find Ciel and Sebastian standing behind me. Ciel hadn't changed much since I last saw him. He still had dark navy blue hair with the fringe quite long in front of his eye patch on his right eye. His good blue eye stared at me without any emotion present in it. Sebastian was standing silently beside him while smiling at me. He still had the same black hair and black eyes from when I last saw him. Of course I knew Sebastian's true eye colour was in fact red. Ciel had told me about Sebastian being a demon and that the Faustian mark (the contract between him and the devil) was present on his eye. Why he told me this I will never understand since I'm not really proper family to him. I'm the only other person that knows. Ciel narrowed his eye suspiciously and folded his arms at me. Oh god, what am I supposed to say to him? I laughed nervously and moved slowly away from the door.

"I think it might be best if you look for yourself…" I replied quietly.

Ciel slowly walked up to the door, his cane banging along the ground as he went. I watched as Ciel froze in place at the front doors with his mouth gaped open.

"What's the-" Sebastian began.

As he looked around the door his mouth was wide open too. He couldn't move. They were both frozen like statues.

"My mansion is…" Ciel began, fading out.

"What on earth is this?" Sebastian questioned.

I stood in between the both of them silently. I had a little inkling as to who had done this…

"Before you two say anything I had nothing to do with this! I just got here and it was like that!"

"Judging by the design choice, it definitely isn't you anyway Victoria. You're not into cute things; however a certain someone we both know is…"

Yep! Ciel knows as well!

"Sebastian!"

I glanced towards the right side of the main entrance to find Ciel's three servants Bard, Mey-Rin and Finny dashing out from a nearby door towards Sebastian. My eyes widened. Bard was wearing a blue and white baby bonnet accessory and a white and blue bib. Finny was wearing white bunny ears and large white rabbit paw gloves and lucky Mey-Rin didn't appear to have been affected at all. Finny and Mey-Rin landed at Sebastian's feet begging while Bard grabbed hold of Sebastian's overcoat with both his hands. Ciel and I just stood there and watched confused. What on earth has happened here?

"Just what is going on here?" Sebastian questioned. "And what on earth are you three wearing?"

"Ask that crazy girl in the other room!" Bard cried.

"What crazy girl?" Ciel asked.

I smacked my palm to my forehead.

"You should know who he is referring to Ciel"

Ciel glanced at me and his eyes widened.

"When I get my hands on that girl I swear I'll-"

Ciel was cut short by a sudden small familiar groan which sounded from inside the room. It sounded a bit like Grell…There was a small opening in the door. Sebastian, Ciel and I slowly approached the door and peeked slightly through the gap. We found Grell hanging from the ceiling by a noose. An orange bow was tied around his head and another one tied around his neck. Wait a minute, where the heck did he get rope from? Ciel and I quickly walked into the room with Sebastian behind us. The rest of the servants dashed in behind us too.

"Grell, what on earth are you doing up there?" I questioned.

"As you can see Lady Victoria, I am dying…" He replied weakly.

Ciel sighed annoyingly.

"Sebastian, get him down" He ordered.

Sebastian nodded. Just as Sebastian reached Grell and was about to take him down, a familiar figure whizzed past him.

"Ciel, Victoria!"

An arm was soon wrapped tightly around my neck. It roughly pulled me towards Ciel. We ended up tangled in a suffocating hug from none other than Elizabeth… I had suspected that she was behind the decorations.

"I'm glad to finally see you two again!" She cried.

"Hello Elizabeth…" Ciel and I grumbled.

Ok, it's not that we hate Elizabeth it's just… Well… She's really hyper and too enthusiastic at times. Plus she kinda bosses Ciel around a bit too much… She still had the same blonde hair and emerald green eyes from when I last saw her. Her hair was placed into two large pigtails. She quickly pulled away from us and frowned.

"I thought I told you two to call me "Lizzy"!" She cried. "And Victoria how dare you plan a visit to see Ciel without inviting me along!"

I gaped at her surprised.

"I wasn't really here to visit Ciel! I was sent here by Madam Red to check on Grell's progress!"

I indicated towards Grell behind me who had been taken down by Sebastian. Sebastian was still holding onto him by the noose and Grell's face had gone really pale.

"He's your servant? Why is he here then?"

I sighed.

"It's a long story…" I groaned.

"Oh and Sebastian, good day to you" Elizabeth greeted.

Elizabeth then pouted.

"Aw, why did you take him down?"

"He was ruining the aesthetics" Sebastian replied formally with a smile.

"Well that's one way to put it…" Ciel muttered to me.

I giggled.

"Aw, was he? I even decorated him nicely too!"

"You decorated him?" Sebastian repeated confused.

Elizabeth nodded.

"Yep, I sure did! Doesn't everything look so much cuter now? There shouldn't be anything but the cutest items in this manor! Isn't that right, Antoinette?"

We all glanced sideways to find Tanaka wearing a blonde wig with loads of curls. My eyes almost burned at the sight of it! Elizabeth should never have decided to make Tanaka look like a girl! No offence intended to Tanaka but he looked better bald… A small smile appeared on Sebastian's face. He looked quite amused.

"I see you decorated Tanaka too…" He commented.

"Oh don't worry Sebastian! I didn't leave you out!" Elizabeth cried happily. "I got this one for you!"

Elizabeth placed a pink and white baby bonnet around his head. Ciel's servants began giggling in the corner. Sebastian gave the servants a death glare which silenced them instantly.

"I am honoured that you went to so much trouble to pick an outfit for a servant like me" Sebastian stated with a smile.

Seriously, how can Sebastian keep a calm head at a time like this!

"Anyway Lizzy, what are you doing here?" Ciel questioned. "Where is Auntie?"

That's something that I'd like to know as well…

"I wanted to see you so I sneaked out in secret!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, she did what now? I watched as Elizabeth pulled Ciel into another suffocating hug.

"Wait a minute, you sneaked out in secret?" I questioned, stunned. "Just what were you thinking? If Auntie finds out you're going to be in so much trouble!"

"Erm… Sorry to interrupt this but whom is this young lady?" Grell asked.

"She is the daughter of the Earl of Scotoni, Lady Elizabeth Esel Cordelia Midford" Sebastian answered. "Lady Elizabeth is the young master's fiancée and also cousins with both him and Lady Victoria"

"What?" Bard questioned.

"Oh no…" Finny choked.

"Eh?" Mey-Rin cried, almost as if she didn't hear what Sebastian had said.

"She is the daughter of an Earl after all" Sebastian continued. "It is only natural for a noble to have a noble as a wife, right?"

"Oh yes!" Elizabeth cried.

The facts Sebastian had just stated didn't surprise me at all. I had spent some time with both Elizabeth and Ciel as children together before the Phantomhive Manor was burnt down… I had gotten to know them quite well.

"Since the manor has now been decorated so nicely, why don't we have a dance party?"

Ciel's and my eyes widened. Oh crap… This isn't going to end well! Ciel and I moved away from Lizzy to the corner of the room while she was distracted.

"Right Plan A, I will tell Elizabeth that we can't have a dance party" Ciel whispered.

"And what if that fails?"

Ciel pondered for a moment.

"Then we move onto Plan B!"

"Which is what?"

"We try to run for it and hope she doesn't catch us"

Elizabeth suddenly grabbed Ciel's hand and began yanking him all over the place.

"And then you can escort your fiancée and we can dance around in circles!" She cried happily. "Ah! How wonderful that would be!"

"Hey, who said it was all right to-" Ciel began.

"Wear the clothes I picked out for you, okay Ciel?" Elizabeth interrupted. "I think they'll look really cute on you!"

"Listen to what people are-"

"Oh, I have to do my make-up!"

Elizabeth quickly turned to me and grabbed hold of my left wrist. Damn it, I was so close to escaping this!

"And we'll have to get you dressed up too Victoria!"

She yanked me roughly towards Grell and grabbed hold of the rope around his neck with her free hand. Why has he even got the rope around his neck still?

"Come on Grell! I'll make you even cuter too!"

She quickly dashed out the room while dragging me and Grell behind her, with Grell being pulled along the floor like a dog on a lead.

"Listen to what people are telling you!" I heard Ciel's voice screech after her.

If only he had said it sooner… Looks like both Plan A and Plan B are out the window!

For most of the afternoon, I was stuck with Elizabeth trying on different dresses that she had bought with her. I couldn't stop thinking about how Ciel felt about all of this right now. I bet he is despising it as much as I am… I had already been to many social gatherings with my mother in the past and hated them. Luckily I didn't have to do any dancing so I was in the all clear for the moment; however poor Ciel is the one who is going to end up dancing with Elizabeth. Can Ciel even dance? Oh dear, that might troublesome if he can't!

I was stuck in the guest room while Elizabeth went through some more of her dresses that she bought. Please someone kill me now! I was eyeing the door very intently. Perhaps if I snuck out she wouldn't notice, right? No, she would… Drat! I just need something to get me away from here! I don't care what it is! Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Oh thank god for that!

"Come in!" Elizabeth called.

The door slowly opened. Sebastian popped his head around it.

"Sorry to bother you but can I please borrow Lady Victoria for a moment? The young master needs to speak to her. It's urgent"

Elizabeth nodded happily.

"Sure you can Sebastian! Just make sure you bring her back in time so I can give her the dress I picked out for her!"

I sighed with relief and quickly dashed out the room.

"Thank you Sebastian! I thought I was going to die in there!"

Sebastian nodded.

"You're welcome. Now I am going to explain why I called you out of there. It turns out the young master doesn't know how to dance. I hear from your mother that you are quite a good dancer-"

"Wait I see where this is going! You want me to help Ciel learn how to dance, don't you?"

Sebastian smirked. I'm taking that as a yes… I haven't danced in a while and I only really have danced with my brother. It would feel really awkward dancing with someone else.

"Look Sebastian, I know Ciel is struggling but I haven't danced in a while so-"

"Would you rather spend more time with Lady Elizabeth trying on dresses?"

Damn you Sebastian! He caught me there! I narrowed my eyes.

"Fine, I'll help" I grumbled.

Sebastian led me towards Ciel's study.

Ciel and I both stood opposite one another in front of the desk while Sebastian explained to him how to start.

"The first step you take is always from the heel. To dance properly you need to firstly place both your hands on the lady's back"

Ciel and I stared at each other weirdly. I already knew how to dance properly and guessed this would come up…

"Sebastian, can't I just hold both her arms for this session?" Ciel pleaded.

"You cannot Young Master. You need to learn how to dance properly"

Ciel sighed heavily. He stepped forward until he was in front of me and then slowly put both his arms on my back. This doesn't feel right. I could tell we were both very uncomfortable with this! I placed both my hands on his shoulders. This didn't help at all. I could see Ciel was sweating as drops of sweat started gathering on his forehead.

"Once the melody begins you need to start with your left foot, understand?"

"Yeah, I got it…" Ciel replied, nervously.

The two of us slowly started moving. It started off pretty well until Ciel's right foot stood on my left one. He stumbled but managed to regain his balance.

"See, it's hopeless! I can't dance!"

I frowned. Ciel needs to learn to stop moaning!

"You weren't bad for a beginner" I assured. "You're just tensed up a bit that's all! You need to relax"

Ciel sighed.

"All right, I'll give it another go"

We got back into position again and started dancing from the beginning. Ciel started to get the hang of it.

"Now turn" Sebastian ordered.

"Wait, we have to turn?" Ciel questioned, panicked.

"Yeah we do!" I answered. "Don't worry, we just turn like this"

Ciel slowly followed me round as we turned a little and then continued to dance.

"Oh, that wasn't so bad!"

I laughed.

"What turn did you think Sebastian meant?"

"I thought he meant as in I spin you"

"Hold on, stop please!"

Ciel and I halted sharply. Ciel frowned annoyed.

"What? I was doing it right this time!"

Sebastian approached Ciel slowly.

"Yes but you need to wipe that sour look off your face! It is rude to be like that in front of a lady! You need to look like you are having fun"

Sebastian grabbed Ciel's cheeks and started trying to turn it into a smile. Ciel quickly slapped away his hand.

"Let go of me!"

"Young Master…"

He turned away from Sebastian and stared at the wall solemnly.

"I have long forgotten how to laugh as if I was having fun…"

The room went silent for a moment before Sebastian decided to speak.

"Well, I guess that means we no longer need to practice your dancing young master. You may go back to Lady Elizabeth now, Lady Victoria"

"Will Ciel be all right?"

"I'll be fine" He replied, quietly.

He wasn't convincing me; although I know Sebastian will be able to handle it.

After returning to Elizabeth and trying on another load of dresses, she made me wear a light blue dress with long narrow sleeves and a small lace pattern along the front of it. I sighed at myself as I stared into the mirror. I closed my eyes and began taking long and deep breaths. The dress didn't really suit me, or so I thought.

"This isn't happening… This isn't happening…" I mumbled. "It's just a dream…"

"This is so embarrassing!" Grell cried as he glanced at himself in the mirror with widened eyes.

"Well just go with it for now" Bard replied half-heartedly.

Ok, I have to be perfectly honest. The others looked worse than I did. Grell was wearing a white long sleeved dress with ribbons and laces along the front of the dress above the waist. He also wore a small white ribbon on his head with two purple flowers stuck on it. Bard was wearing a pink girl outfit with a brunette wig underneath a small hat. Tanaka was wearing a purple and light blue kimono with a black wig and a small crown (He still looked better bald…) and poor Finny was wearing a black maid's outfit with black cat ears stuck on either side of the maid's hat and a cat's tail stuck on the back of the dress. Mey-Rin was the only one who hadn't been dressed up at all…

"This-This immature girly little white dress is so-"

Oh no… Here comes dramatic Grell…

"If I were going to dress up, I'd want to do it in a passionate red with a sexy cut!"

Goodness, he's starting to sound like my mother! I didn't know he liked red that badly too! But seriously, is that what's bothering him! The dress isn't to his taste? Oh good lord…

"That's what is bothering you?" Bard cried.

"I cannot believe I just heard you say that!" I added. "You're a male and yet you don't mind wearing a dress?"

"If I have to live with such shame, I may as well die!"

He walked up to the window and began to carefully open it up. He placed one foot on the window sill and paused. I looked around curiously. No one seemed at all bothered that he wanted to commit suicide… How many times has he been doing that before I even got here to make them not bother stopping him? He slowly turned around to find Bard, Tanaka and Finny just staring at him.

"Is-Isn't anyone going to stop me?"

I face palmed my forehead. He really is a drama queen…

"Not if you're going to commit suicide over something as stupid as the dress" I sighed.

"I think blue is definitely Ciel's colour!" Elizabeth commented happily.

Now Mey-Rin and Elizabeth were standing by the mirror. Mey-Rin was carefully tying the ribbon for Elizabeth at the back of her head. Elizabeth's dress looked quite nice on her. It was a bright red colour and had spread out sleeves at the end of it. Around the collar of the dress was a small double white ruffle. Well, at least someone's clothing suited them…

"The clothes I brought with me today were ones that I fell in love with while shopping around London!" She continued.

Mey-Rin slowly backed away to allow Elizabeth to look at herself in the mirror.

"That dress really does suit you Lizzy!" I commented.

She smiled happily.

"I'm glad you think so Victoria! All right, it's your turn now!"

Elizabeth turned towards Mey-Rin. Oh dear… I thought at least one of us would have escaped being dressed up by Elizabeth. Elizabeth went to take Mey-Rin's glasses; however Mey-Rin leapt back in fright and dashed around the room in circles. She eventually halted behind me. Great, I'm being used as a human shield…

"I am very badly long sighted and without these I can't see anything!" She cried, cowering behind me.

"The world of dreams is something you feel with your heart, not see with your eyes! So you don't need them!"

"Er, Lizzy you can't go taking people's things" I butted in.

"I'm not taking them! I'm just keeping them until the dance is over! I am going to give them back!"

Elizabeth tried to get around me; however Mey-Rin managed to dodge her. All I did was stand still and hope this would end soon.

"Leave it at that" Ciel's cold voice stated.

We all glanced up the staircase to find Ciel standing there tall and proud in his outfit. Elizabeth was right! Blue really does suit him! It really brings out his good eye. He was wearing a blue overcoat with a matching vest top and trousers. He was also wearing white knee high socks, small brown-red shoes and a small blue hat with a white and blue ribbon trailing off it from the back. Sebastian was standing behind him while carrying his cane.

"Wow Ciel, you really do look cute!" Elizabeth cried happily.

She dashed towards him just as he and Sebastian began making their way slowly down the staircase. I heard Mey-Rin sigh with relief behind me.

"Thank you, Lady Victoria"

I smiled.

"You're welcome"

I continued to watch as Elizabeth grabbed hold of Ciel by his hands just as he reached the bottom of the stairs. She began spinning him around in circles happily. It made me feel sick and dizzy just watching them; although I knew Ciel probably felt worse. She eventually halted on the staircase. Ciel looked slightly dazed. I watched as Elizabeth stared down at Ciel's left thumb. I have a feeling she spotted his ring.

"Ciel, why are you not wearing the ring I picked out for you?" She questioned with a hard tone in her voice.

Oh no… Ciel gently pushed her away.

"This ring is fine too" He stated firmly.

"No way, after all the trouble I went through your ring is the only thing that isn't cute!" She screamed.

"Lizzy, the ring is blue. It matches the clothes" I retaliated.

"I don't care! It's not cute!"

We all continued to stare as Elizabeth sank to her knees in the middle of the room with her back to Ciel. She began to cry loudly. Ciel sighed.

"Are you saying you don't want the one I got for you? How horrible you are!"

I sweat dropped. Moments like these where Elizabeth has a fit over things is always awkward. It's almost like she can't control her emotions. One minute she's mad and then the next minute she's crying like a baby!

"It's not that" Ciel replied as softly as he could be. "This ring is-"

Before Ciel could even finish Elizabeth leapt up from the floor, dived towards Ciel and snatched the ring from his thumb.

"I got it!" She cried happily.

"Lizzy, please give it back!" Ciel begged.

"This ring is too big for you anyway! The one I got you was just the right size and-"

"Give the ring back now!" Ciel screeched angrily.

The whole room went silent. All eyes were upon him. Elizabeth stared at Ciel surprised. I knew how much that ring meant to Ciel and I wasn't just going to stand there and allow Elizabeth to get her own way! Not this time!

"Listen to Ciel Elizabeth and hand over the ring" I stated coldly.

Elizabeth's glance went from me to Ciel. It looked like she was watching a tennis match. She stared at the both of us surprised as Ciel held out his hand for her to give him the ring.

"Why are you both so angry?" She questioned. "I went out of my way to- and-"

She was beginning to stutter. Ciel's good eye narrowed. She slowly took a step back from us. My eyes also narrowed.

"What is it with you two? I was just trying to make everything in this manor cute. So why are you two so angry? I hate this ring!"

She lifted the ring into the air and threw it against the floor angrily. It smashed and a small piece of it flew off the ring. I froze and watched on with widened eyes. I glanced towards Ciel and noticed his expression shifting from shock to anger. I had a feeling he was going to lash out at her… Just as Ciel began to charge forward I dashed from the side to try to get in front of Elizabeth. Elizabeth's eyes widened as Ciel lifted his hand into the air ready to slap her. She cowered in fear. I managed to get in front of her and grabbed hold of Ciel's wrist tightly just as it came down. At the same time, Sebastian had also grabbed Ciel's arm from behind firmly. Ciel's gaze shot between me and Sebastian. He was shocked. I slowly let go of Ciel's wrist as I heard Elizabeth start to sob quietly behind me. I knew Sebastian could take care of Ciel.

I wrapped my arms around Elizabeth's shoulders and hugged her tightly. I could feel the front of my dress getting damp; although I didn't really care. I could feel her trembling in my arms as she continued to sob. I glanced towards Ciel. Sebastian had given him his cane and he was standing there frozen while gasping for breath. He was still staring at me in shock. Sebastian stood in front of me and Elizabeth with his right hand in front of his chest.

"That ring was very important to our master" Sebastian explained quietly.

Elizabeth glanced up at him with interest.

"This ring was one of a kind, passed down through generation after generation by the Phantomhive family heads. Please forgive my master's rudeness"

Elizabeth wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and slowly backed away out of my arms. She stared at me surprised.

"So that ring is…" She began as tears started to fill her eyes again.

I nodded solemnly. I watched as Ciel slowly walked towards the ring and carefully picked it up off the floor.

"Ciel, I'm…" Elizabeth stated, fading out.

I continued to watch as Ciel slowly walked towards the window. We all watched in horror as he carelessly flung the remains of the ring out of the window. Why has he…? Elizabeth dashed towards the window surprised just as Ciel turned his back to it.

"Ciel, what are you doing?" I questioned stunned.

"It doesn't matter. It was nothing but an old ring" He stated.

He slowly walked away from the window and stood in the middle of the room. His cane smacked against the floor.

"Even without the ring, the head of the Phantomhive household is still me!"

Everyone's eyes widened. Sebastian smirked at his words. Elizabeth had begun to cry again. Ciel slowly turned to her.

"How long do you intend to cry for?" He questioned.

Elizabeth looked up at him surprised.

"B-But" She stuttered through her tears, her voice breaking.

Ciel carefully put his hat back on his head. He gently pulled out a handkerchief and began to wipe away her tears.

"I wouldn't want to ask a poor crying girl to dance, now would I?"

Elizabeth stared at him surprised.

"Ciel…"

Suddenly the sound of a violin sounded throughout the entrance. We all glanced to the staircase surprised to find Sebastian playing it. For a demon he is quite talented…

"Sebastian can even play instruments!" Finny commented.

"Oh, I will help too!" Grell cried.

He quickly dashed towards the side of the staircase and began to sing. My eyes almost burst out of their sockets! So he is rubbish as a butler but he can sing? That makes no sense whatsoever… I glanced back towards Ciel as he held out his hand towards Elizabeth.

"It is customary to forget all the bad things at an evening ball and dance isn't it, my lady?"

A smile was soon spread wide across Elizabeth's face. She gently took his hand and he slowly led her to the middle of the floor. I watched the two of them dance. They did look like a good couple to be fair. A small smile appeared across my face. It reminded me of how much my older brother loved to dance when we were kids. Every time we heard music like this he'd start to dance on his own while my little brother and I watched. He then would ask me to dance with him. Watching Elizabeth and Ciel brought it all back. I closed my eyes and sighed. I will find you Jim… I promise I won't stop looking for you… No matter how long it takes…

The evening ball continued on into the night. Poor Elizabeth fell asleep from exhaustion of the dancing. She was wrapped up in a blanket and placed on the seat opposite me in the carriage. Grell had offered to take me and Elizabeth back to Madam Red's home so that Elizabeth's grandmother could pick her up in the morning. Just as the carriage began to move down the pathway lighted with candles, I glanced down at Elizabeth sleeping. She had a small smile on her face. I guessed that she was dreaming about those two dancing again. I smirked. I knew Ciel was just acting back there. I can guarantee that the next time I see him he will have that ring fixed and back on his thumb again…

Please review and tell me what you think! I want to know if I should continue this! I hope you enjoyed it! :-)
