❈ Ren Suzuki ❈

''What on Earth are you doing, Human?'' Ren snarled, currently being dragged to the entrance of her shrine. The mortal gripping her arm stopped, turning to face the kitsune with a sheepish expression.

''Okay, don't freak out, but I booked us a vacation.'' Eleanor exhaled, pushing her purple glasses up over her blue eyes. Ren blinked, freezing completely.

''Pardon?''

''I planned a vacation to London. We haven't left the shrine in forever, and I want to be around other people. Pretty please! I swear I won't ask to leave again for the next two years!'' Eleanor clasped her hands in front of her, shaking her brown hair away from her eyes as she begged.

Ren pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, giving in. ''Alright mortal, we can take your little vacation. Firstly, we need to don clothes befitting of London, and make sure I appear human.'' 

The kitsune promptly turned on her heel, levitating herself into a laying position in the air and started back towards her home, Eleanor following quickly behind.

Back at the entrance of the shrine, the two girls had exchanged their Japanese style clothing for the clothes popular in England. Ren wore a hat so that her ears and mask were hidden, and her seven tails were secured under a tailcoat, as the fox had vehemently refused the dress. Eleanor, used to the style of London, quite happily donned a dress.

Their belongings were in two briefcases that Ren easily picked up as they exited the shrine. Eleanor guided her friend to a ferry, that would be taking them to London. ''By the Nine Tails! Ellie you know I hate the ocean.'' Ren groaned, eyeing the vessel apprehensively. She had reverted to calling Eleanor by her preferred nickname, since humans would find it suspicious if she were called 'Human' or 'Mortal'.  

''Relax, nothing will happen you overgrown cat. Besides, we'll be inside for most of the trip.'' Eleanor grinned, flashing her a thumbs up.

''I am not a cat.'' Ren muttered, glumly walking onto the floating hunk of wood and metal.

Ren quickly stepped onto dry land, sighing in relief as her boots touched solid ground. ''Never again.'' She promised herself, glaring at the retreating ferry. Eleanor huffed, finally catching up to the kitsune. 

''Wait up, will ya? I have short legs!'' The brunette wheezed, catching her breath. Ren rolled her turquoise eyes. She blatantly ignored the confused stares being directed her way. It was only to be expected, seeing that she was a woman in men's clothing.

''Now what?'' The kitsune looked at Eleanor. Said girl clapped her hands excitedly, locking elbows with Ren. 

''Sightseeing!'' She darted forward, Ren stumbling to keep up as she was led into an alleyway. ''Can you do your fox magic and make our luggage disappear? We can find lodgings later.'' Eleanor asked, taking out the money and slipping it into Ren's pockets. 

''Tsk. Tsk. How lazy of you.'' She smirked, the luggage disappearing with the snap of her fingers. The brunette beside her gasped in mock offence.

''I'm never lazy!'' She exclaimed, earning a snort from her pink haired friend. 

''Sure, sure.'' She waved her hand, making sure to stop smirking as to not expose her fangs. Eleanor took this as a sign to lock elbows again and leave the alley, ready to enjoy the sights London had to offer.

Little did the duo know, a certain pair of eyes had been watching from across the street.

❈ Sebastian Michaelis ❈

Crimson eyes watched two women leave an alleyway. Normally the demon wouldn't spare the duo a passing glance yet, the women had entered with two briefcases and left with none. However, they didn't exhibit the behavior of someone who had just been robbed.

''Sebastian, what are you looking at? You've been staring in that direction for a while now.'' The butler from hell looked down at his contractee, smiling as per usual.

''Nothing much, Master.'' The raven haired man leaned down, placing his hand next to his mouth to whisper to the Earl. ''Only, I happened to see a pair of women enter an alley with luggage, and leave without anything. Aside from this, one of the women was wearing male's clothing. I find it quite odd, and couldn't help thinking that we should investigate.'' 

''What are we waiting for then? Let's have a look in that alley.'' Ciel strode forward, Sebastian following close behind. 

They stepped into the alleyway, quite surprised to find a dead end with nothing out of the ordinary. Ciel rounded on his butler, a scowl overtaking his features. ''Are you sure this is the correct place? I see nothing out of place, Sebastian.'' 

Sebastian frowned slightly, before his eyes got caught on something stuck on one of the bricks of the alley walls. He stepped towards it, picking up a tuft of light pink fur between his gloved fingers. 

Sebastian stared at his finding, pondering on what it could be. ''This fur matches the hair of the woman in the tailcoat, and now that I think about it, there is the faint remnants of magic in here. Whoever those women were, I don't think they were completely ordinary.''

Ciel looked up at his butler, his scowl lessening into a frown. ''Sebastian, I want you to keep an eye on these women, they could be a problem.'' The bluenette ordered, turning on his heel and walking back to his carriage. 

''Yes, Young Lord.'' Sebastian placed his hand over his heart and bowed slightly, before disappearing into the shadows of the alley.

Hi there!

Updates may be slower from now on, since my Christmas Break ends tomorrow. I will try to work on this as much as possible, but I do have school and chores to attend to.

Have a great morning/day/evening/night, and enjoy the story!
