So, this is bonus number two: to the winner of my Art Contest, ~luvJesusInHeavn, I present to you a oneshot that seems to be taken completely out of the Victorian Era timeline. Reason why is because it makes describing swimsuits sooo much easier… I don't wanna research Victorian Era time swimsuits… T_T

Anyway, my only condition for this fic was that it was about the beach. Vague, right? YET IT TOTALLY MAKES LIFE A BREEZE FOR ME! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Thus, I have created a cutesy oneshot that involves our beloved main cast, a piece of fruit, a giant octopus/kraken, and well, a plethora of meows.

In terms of length, this is somewhat close to the length of the last bonus oneshot (approx. 500 word difference, for those wondering).

So thus, please enjoy this bonus oneshot! Oh, and don't forget that the events in this fanfiction does not pertain to any events happening in the main storyline. :D

I hope you enjoy!

PLEASE R&R!

Meow: Just Add Water

"Well, this is certainly a strange turn of events," angel Annabelle Marie Phantomhive said as they stared at the sunny beach. "What are we doing here for again, Ciel?"

The young earl glared at her. "It's called a 'holiday', Anna," he scowled. "We've been running into far too many incidents in such a short time. It's exhausting."

Sebastian Michaelis chuckled, "Then again, Young Master, only some of us here have had the need to do any real work."

Ciel Phantomhive glared at the demon butler but said nothing.

"Well," Anna began lightly, trying to ease the tension, "let's just enjoy this quality time, okay? After all, it's not every day even the Phantomhive servants can relax a little."

"I suppose you're right," he agreed. "After all, since we are on an island, there shouldn't be too much trouble. I guess we really can relax a little."

At the perfect butler's agreement of taking a break, immediately the three idiot servants of the Phantomhive Manor broke off into a run towards the ocean, stripping off into their already-prepared swimming clothes and into the cold water.

Anna couldn't help but chuckle while both Sebastian and Ciel heaved out a quiet sigh.

"Well, I suppose we should join them too, shouldn't we?" the maid hinted lightly, going ahead towards the ocean with Ciel.

Sebastian stared off after them and chuckled in amusement, "I have a feeling we're going to have one hell of a holiday."

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

While the idiot servants were off playing in the water, Ciel, Sebastian, and Anna remained on shore, Ciel sitting on a towel in front of the couple. Both servants had changed into their own swimwear and were sitting on a second towel. Anna wore a black bikini that complimented her slender body and curves while contrasting against her silver-white hair. Beside her, Sebastian wore matching black swimming trunks, accentuating his pale skin. Ciel had also changed into royal blue swimming trunks but also wore a swimming shirt in order to hide his brand mark.

"You sure you don't wanna join them, Ciel?" Anna asked lightly, "It looks like fun."

He scoffed, "I'll pass."

Sebastian turned to Anna. The Young Master doesn't know how to swim, he told her via the Blood Contract.

The angel maid responded with a mental chuckle in amusement. Her hand brushed gently over his chest before gently pressing her lips onto his, and he deepened the kiss, wrapping an arm around her bare waist and pulling her closer towards him.

"You two better not be making out behind me," Ciel scowled, trying to conceal a blush, forcing himself not to turn around.

As the angel and demon's foreheads pressed against each other, they twisted slightly to glance at the back of the young earl they both served.

"Don't turn around if you don't want to know, Ciel," Anna teased, pulling Sebastian into another deep kiss.

Sebastian pushed her down onto the beach towel and she chuckled, knowing that their beach wear made things more… tempting.

"I'm serious," Ciel warned, and both servants glanced over to see the young earl's face beet red.

As they both sat up once more, chuckling, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps before hearing a high-pitched voice.

"CI~E~LLLL~!"

Suddenly Ciel found himself tackled into a back-breaking hug by none other than his fiancée: Elizabeth "Lizzy" Midford.

"L-Lizzy! What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed.

"Anna and Sebastian invited me!" she replied cheerfully. "They told me you were coming to the beach today, and I wanted to see you anyway, so I came here!"

Ciel couldn't help but shoot a glare at the two head servants. So much for a quiet holiday…

"Ugh, I'm exhausted," Ciel complained, sitting down on a beach towel next to Lizzy after being dragged around the island looking for seashells by the young Midford for nearly two hours.

Anna chuckled as she and Sebastian approached them with lunch. "Then surely some food will be of at least some comfort to you, right Ciel?" she teased.

"Today's lunch is a local dish of lightly roast fish with mint, complemented with a coconut crème sauce and dessert is a lovely fruit salad made from the local fruits gathered from the island," Sebastian explained, presenting the neat dishes before the couple.

"It looks delicious!" Lizzy exclaimed cheerfully. "Thank you!"

Ciel grumbled satisfyingly before waving the servants away. Sebastian and Anna went to go find the other servants, who had gathered up a huge pile of various fruits.

"Wow," Anna murmured in surprise. "You guys managed to gather all of this in such a short time?"

"We'll be back with more!" Finny cheered, dragging Bard, Tanaka, and Meylene back into the tropic forest to find more fruits.

Sebastian sighed, "This is more than what we need. I suppose it'll all just go to waste…"

"Not true," Anna argued, picking out an odd-looking orange pear-like fruit. "We could always take this back to the Manor and cool it. It'll stay fresh that was until needed. Plus Ciel could always just donate it too if we really have no use for them."

He tilted his head at her choice of fruit, having completely ignored her argument. "Annabelle, have you ever seen such a strange fruit before?" he queried curiously. "In all my long life I've never seen one like that before."

"But there's no strange aura or anything, so it should be fine, I suppose," she replied. "And since being an angel and demon, something like this wouldn't be able to hurt us or anything anyway, even if it was poisoned or something."

Taking a harmless bite into the fruit, Anna chewed and swallowed, nodding approvingly at its taste. "It's sweet, and the taste is almost like-"

Plunk. The so-called 'harmless' fruit dropped from Anna's hand as she cringed.

"Anna!" Sebastian hissed in alarm.

Before either of them could do anything, there was a light pop before Anna vanished, and in her place sat an adorable fuzzy white kitten, blinking open familiar azure eyes.

"Ohhhh… so adorable…" Sebastian murmured, suddenly ignoring the fact that his lover had disappeared suddenly, or rather… had somehow transformed into this harmless kitten.

The demon butler kneeled down to pick the kitten up, looking deeply into its light azure eyes. "Annabelle?"

"Mrrow…" she purred, then proceeded to panic. "Mrrow! Mrrow! MRROW!"

He tilted his head sideways. "Oh my… it seems like you've turned into a kitten, Annabelle," he commented obviously, chuckling. "Excellent. My favourite creature and my most favoured angel have become one."

Anna hissed at him, baring sharp white fangs as if to say, "That's not funny, Sebastian!"

Sebastian chuckled, "I'm kidding, Annabelle. But in all seriousness, what is that strange fruit?" He released her, allowing her to scamper towards the bitten fruit. She took another bite into the fruit as an attempt to reverse the effects, but to no avail.

"Meow…" the kitten meowed, utilizing her claws to try and climb the mountain of fruits.

Gently Sebastian picked up the cat, knowing fully-well what her intentions were. Placing her on his shoulder, he searched through the pile to see whether there were any more of those strange cat-changing fruits, but found none.

"Can you speak through the Blood Contract, Annabelle?" Sebastian inquired.

Scrunching feline eyes tightly in concentration, the cat dug through her cat consciousness to find her angelic core.

"Sebastian?" a soft voice echoed musically in the demon's head.

"Ah good, that works at least," he replied. "How do you feel, Annabelle?"

"Like a cat," she answered bitterly. "Where in the world did Finny and the others find this fruit anyway?"

Sebastian smiled. "Well, let's go and find out, shall we?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

It didn't take the odd pair long before they found the idiot trio of servants gathering up more fruits.

"Oh, Mr. Sebastian!" Meylene greeted excitedly, "What are you doing in here? Where's Ms. Anna?"

"Exploring the island," he informed, only half-lying to them.

"Mrrow…" Anna purred.

Finny bounded over. "Awww, what an adorable little kitten," he cooed, reaching out to pet her.

In her irritation and annoyance at his rather patronizing voice (though it really wasn't his fault, and she knew that), Anna bit his hand, hissing at him.

"Ow, ow, ow!" he exclaimed, running around in a circle holding his injured hand.

Sebastian chuckled, stroking her soft fur gently, "Pardon her. She's not in a good mood right now."

Bard tilted his head. "Where'd you find this little kitten, Sebastian?"

"On the beach," he answered innocently, which was true. Sebastian did find the transformed Annabelle on the beach.

"Oh, just get on with it," Anna hissed in his head.

In response, Sebastian held out the orange pear-like fruit. "I was wondering, just where did you find this odd-looking fruit?"

After recovering, Finny peered closely at the fruit. "Oh, this one," he murmured. "I found this sitting on a rock. It was quite odd, because I didn't see any fruits similar to it on any of the trees nearby. I took it because it looked very lonely, out of place like that."

The butler sighed heavily. Was there no limit to their idiocy? "Where was this rock?" he asked.

"That way," Meylene said, pointing towards the North of the island, away from where their things were set up.

"I see," Sebastian replied. "Well, the three of you, stop collecting fruits and return to take care of the Young Master and Lady Elizabeth if they need anything. I'll return once I've finished with some business. Oh, and please take this little kitten back with you too."

"Wait, wait, wait, I want to come too!" Anna complained in his head, meowing aloud all the while in protest.

The demon smiled at her. "It's safer for you to be back with the Young Master," he replied gently. "If I find anything I'll alert you immediately."

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Is that… a cat?" Ciel inquired in shock.

"Awww, it's so adorable!" Lizzy cooed as Meylene handed the kitten to her.

Anna meowed, blinking at Ciel with large azure eyes. "Ciel, it's me!" she tried to communicate with him using telepathy, knowing that for now, it only worked one way.

His eyes widened in shock at the all-too familiar voice echoing in his head. No way… he thought.

"Hey Ciel, you're not sneezing!" Lizzy noticed. "Yay! That means you can keep Ms. Kitty if you wanted to, right?!"

"U-Uh, right," he stammered, still in recoil at the revelation. "Uh, hey Lizzy, why don't you go with Bard, Meylene and Finny to go search for more seashells? I'll stay here and watch over the cat, okay?"

"Sure!" she replied easily before running off with the three servants.

After they disappeared from his sight, Ciel picked up the cat, looking at her. "Anna, is that really you? What happened to you? Since when were you a cat?"

"I'm not!" she scolded. "I ate this strange fruit that both Sebastian and I had deemed harmless, and it turned me into- into this! At the moment Sebastian's searching for clues as to where this strange fruit came from, and sent me back here in the meanwhile."

Ciel couldn't help but snort in amusement. "My all-powerful angel ancestor… reduced to a harmless little kitten," he smirked, the joke of it being almost too amusing to be true.

The kitten hissed at him. "Hey!" she snapped impatiently in his head. "I still have sharp teeth and claws too, you know!"

Without warning, a long tentacle shot out from the ocean and nabbed Ciel by the ankle, causing him to drop Anna in his surprise before being yanked up into the air and dangling by a foot as a whirlpool began spinning furiously, a huge octopus rising out from the ocean.

"Ciel!" Anna called through telepathy, but there was nothing she could do in her current form. "Sebastian!" she summoned through her own Faustian Contract with the demon. "Ciel's in trouble! Come here now!" Feeling the burn of her mark on her heart, she hissed at the giant purple creature.

At the same time, Ciel had torn off his eye patch to reveal the Contract on his eye. "Sebastian!" he ordered, "Save me now!"

In retaliation to her hostile hissing, the octopus tried to smash Anna with its giant tentacles, but with her quick feline speed, she dodged easily before leaping onto one of its tentacles as she raced towards where Ciel was being kept.

"Anna!" Ciel shouted as he was being dangled over the giant beast's open mouth, staring down into rows and rows of sharp teeth. "Do something!"

Without hesitation, the cat lunged towards the beast's one large eye, claws unsheathed as she delivered a devastating blow to its apparent weak point. The octopus monster roared in pain, tentacles flailing wildly as he sent Ciel flying back towards the island, where Anna knew Sebastian would catch him soon. But what about her?

Okay, did not think this through, Anna thought suddenly as the octopus fought to throw her off as she clung onto it by digging her claws its thick hide. Cats hate water, and what's the chance I can swim in this form?

The next thing she knew, the beast chose to submerge, dragging Annabelle into the water as well. As she released her claws from the octopus, she quickly lost her breath and inhaled in water as she tried to fight her way to the surface, but the whirlpool only continued to drag her down further. In her feline form there was no way she would have enough strength to out-swim the pull of the ocean. Soon enough her feline vision faded to black…

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Annabelle," a velvet voice chided, "Annabelle, it's time to wake up."

Blinking open her eyes, Anna saw Sebastian leaning over her, completely soaked with water dripping from his hair onto her face.

Wait, face? She thought, reaching up to touch his cheek with slender human fingers.

"S-Sebastian?" she murmured, realizing that she was lying on his lap, and she was completely soaked too.

He smiled. "Welcome back," he said. "Yes, you are back to normal now, and no, that was not a dream."

"W-What happened?" she asked as he helped her sit up. "Wait, where's Ciel?!"

"Rest assured, Anna," he soothed gently, brushing back wet bangs from her face, "the Young Master is perfectly unharmed. He and Lady Elizabeth are taking a walk along the beach. You've been asleep for a couple of hours now."

"T-That octopus-like-creature, what was that?" she queried.

The demon sighed, "Ah yes, it seems that I forgotten to mention that his island is nearby an underground cavern that serves as a dwelling for many sea demons. That beast just so happened to come up after sensing a soul as delicious as the Young Master's. But don't worry, it won't be bothering anyone anymore."

"And the fruit?"

He chuckled, "As it so happens, when I found the rock where Finny said he found it, I stumbled upon a familiar duo of Shinigami who happened to be taking a vacation."

"Grell and Will?" Anna guessed knowingly.

Sebastian nodded in confirmation. "It is actually a special fruit that allows the host, primarily Shinigami, to turn into a kitten in order to further observe their targets. Apparently Grell had accidentally left it there, and well, once they found out about your accidental incident…"

He trailed off, but Anna could guess at what had happened. Both Sebastian and Shinigami William T. Spears would beat Grell senseless… and they probably had.

"I guess Shinigami need a break from work too, huh…" she muttered before perking up. "Wait, so how'd I turn back then?"

The demon's smile widened. "Just add water," he said.

Anna blinked at him. "What?" she demanded.

"I'm not lying, Anna," he defended. "Cats naturally hate water, thus, in order to return one back into their true form, they need to be completely submerged in water… like you had after you saved the Young Master."

"Ahhh…" she sighed in understanding, closing her eyes. "I'm exhausted. Whatever happened to having a holiday today?"

Sebastian chuckled, leaning over to kiss her. "No sleep for the wicked, I guess," he teased. "Then again, that's just me. You're just dragged into it."

Her head tilted against him as she curled up closer against him, nuzzling against his chest. "Demon," she scowled quietly.

His chuckle deepened, holding her closer. "You know, you were very cute as a cat," he teased.

In fact the truth was that earlier that week Sebastian had just so-happened to tip off the Shinigami for a vacation, and he had just so-happened to make Grell bring one of those fruits he had just so-happened to stumble upon hearing about. Also, he had just so-happened to have made Grell forget about leaving the fruit, and so-happened to tell Finny to go looking for fruit near there.

In essence, Sebastian had planned the whole thing. What the demon did not expect though, was the attack by the giant Kraken which had fortunately turned Anna back in time before any harm was done to either her or Ciel.

Anna scowled again, fidgeting slightly in Sebastian's embrace as she adjusted to his embraces. "Meow."

THE END

SEBASTIAN'S SO MEANNN! He had totally set Anna up! T/T He's horrible, but kitty Anna was so cute. ^.^ So it's a win/lose/win situation… for Anna, that is.

Seriously, this was both hilarious and adorable to write. When I was thinking of the situations in my head, I burst out laughing, which then naturally confused the people around me at the time. LOL.

So, to ~luvJesusInHeavn, I hope that this fanfic was to your standards, and that you liked it. I'm pretty sure that this wasn't what you were expecting when you had told me to have the setting on a beach. LOL.
