Like Father, Like Daughter (a black butler fanfic)DISCONTINUED

The Battle

I woke up my master once again. "We recieved many calls last night. Twelve to be exact. I do think it should be in your best intrest to answer them all." I said as he sat up.

"Fine, fine. I'll call them back later. I'm tired." He started waving his hand, trying to shoo me away.

"I have made breakfast and the sooner you answer the phone calls, the sooner you may rest. If we do not reply today, they may think we are reclining their partnership." I bowed.

"Okay! I'm getting up! I'll be downstairs in a minute." He groaned, getting out of bed. I chuckled and left the room. I waited for him in the dining room.

I stood by his chair as he walked into the room. He ate his breakfast. "Thank you. It was very good." He said, looking at me.

"Of course, master. A maid shouldn't be living if she can't do this much." I smirked. He nodded and went over to the phone. I decided to do my daily chores.

I finished them quite earlier than I expected. So, I decided to practice my cooking abilities. Then, I heard a carriage approaching. I checked the time.

"My my. Who could it be this early?" I asked myself. I was by my master in an instant. "We have guests, master."

"What? Guests? Who could it be?" He thought aloud.

"I am not sure, master."

"Well, let us greet them then. Come along, Katrina." He sighed softly. I sped off to the door. I heard the carriage come to a stop outside. My master was on his way down the steps when I opened the manor's doors.

"Welcome to the Pine Manor." I said with a closed-eye smile. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Ciel and my father standing there. "Ah, Lord Phantomhive! What a lovely surprise." I smiled kindly.

Ciel huffed. "Enough formalities, Katrina. I've come to talk to Samuel, not you."

"I-It's Scott..." My master sighed.

"That doesn't matter. I want to know if you have recieved any calls from any of those buisnessmen?" Ciel demanded.

My master crossed his arms. Oh no... I thought. "I have. Twelve of them, actually."

"Did you respond to any of them?" Ciel asked angrily.

"All of them." My master smirked. Not this again, master...

"How smug. It's rude to be smug. You know, I have earned no investments because of you and your little company. It is very troublesome for me." Ciel glared slightly.

"That is your problem, not mine. I just gave them a proposition and they accepted it. And I doubt they would need candy as a business partner. My company can work with any others." My master glared back with a smug smirk.

"You anger me. So much to the point I want to bring your company down to nothing. So much...that I want to kill you." Ciel said, clenching his fists. I had never heard him say something like that. He had gone a little too far.

"I believe you are being a bit harsh. Those were not our intentions." I put a hand to my heart.

"Shut up, Katrina!! You have no say in this!" Ciel snapped at me. My eyes widened slightly in shock. I heard my father chuckle. I heard my heart shatter.

"You have no right to insult my servant!" My master stomped down the rest of the stairs.

"Master...it is best if we do not argue more. I believe we would lose the battle." I looked at my master. I knew we would. I would let my father win if we got in a battle. I wouldn't be able to kill my father.
