The fight of the century, Claude vs Bankotsu

Chapter 12

{Claude's p.o.v.}

Once I got the ok from my master, I asked Young Ciel if I could borrow Melody's younger brother for help, since I knew about his strength and Ciel agreed to let him go with me. Finny and I were thinking about all the places that that Reaper would have her. "What are we going to do?" Finny asked me. "What we need is an idea of where your sister is and how we are going to get her back" I said. I don't know why, but I think I'm starting to feel something for my spiderette, but I'm not going let His Highness find out about it or he won't let me live it down.

"I haven't the foggiest idea of where she is and I'm worried something bad happened to her" Finny said. Lightly grabbing his shoulders, I told him to calm down. "We'll find her, but your master is right, crying isn't going to bring her back" I told him.

"I'm not sure what I would do if anything was to happen to my sister, but I know I'd never forgive myself for le" I interrupted him. "Finnian! Please calm down, I need to think" I said. "S-sorry" he sheepishly looks at the ground.

I need to get her back, not just for me, but for her brother I thought.

"Claude, I believe it is time for a long trip around the world to get Melody back home" Finny said, breaking me from my thoughts. Nodding, I knew he was right. "Your Highness, with your permission, I would like to go around the world and see if anyone has seen them" I asked. "Your wish is granted, Claude" Alois said as Finny got the okay as well.

{Melody's p.o.v.}

I was really starting to get homesick and miss my family and friends and Claude. Why am I thinking about him? I just want to go home and see everyone I care about I thought. "MELODY!" Bankotsu yelled, grabbing my attention. "Sorry, I was just thinking about my little brother" I said, which technically wasn't a complete lie. "What are you two close? Get over it, you're with me now. Either get over your little brother, or I'll find him and kill him" Bankotsu said, making me cry and run off.

"Bankotsu, I must say this, Melody is very close with her brother and I would like it if you don't make my cousin cry" Grell said as he ran after me. Feeling arms around me, I knew it was Grell but I didn't care, I turned around and cried in his chest as he rubbed my back, calming me down. "I know you hate me, and I know that you just want to go back home, but if you knew what I went through to get here, you would call me an even bigger loon" Grell said.

"I don't exactly hate you, but I don't exactly love you either, but I am appreciative of the nice things you do for me and you're probably right, I would call you a bigger loon" I said.
