Hopefully you all were able to get the message, like I said; The end Is not as close as you think. Anywho, enjoy!

------------

"OK, seriously, what do you think the claiming thing will be like?" You asked Eri again after your short session of jokes then Eri suddenly blushed. "However it goes, I won't let it get too involved." Eri stomped ahead of you. You wanted to question the elder lady but, she's blowing off enough steam as is. You followed Eri back into the main room where all the others were. "(Y/N)!, There you are, you're outfit looks amazing on you!" Soma glomped you and bombarded you with compliments, you looked over at Ciel who was also in Indian attire. "(Y/N)?" Soma asked and snapped you back into reality.

"Y-Yes?" You asked glancing at Soma for a brief second. "I asked you what event you'd like us to start with." Soma repeated. "Oh, uh the dancing?" You questioned, hoping that he listed that when you zoned out. He studied you for a moment before nodding. Soma gestured you to sit in a chair to watch te performance, then they gathered in the middle of the room, participants were: Soma, Ciel, and Eri? You raised an eyebrow at her, which she seemed to notice. "No worries mistress, I'll win and protect you from these perverts." You then mumbled to yourself, "For a person that lost their memories, you seem pretty into it."

Sebastian, who also was dressed up started to play Indian music. You watched as Soma started dancing very traditionally while Eri tried her best to follow his lead. "This is foolish and embarrassing!" Ciel said walking over to you and sat on the arm of the chair. "If it helps, I think you look cute in those clothes." You smiled at him and he just looked away. To be honest, you weren't paying attention to the two as much as you were a moment ago. "Thank you..I guess." Ciel mumbled and you smiled even more. "So, who won?" Eri asked you snapping you out of your thoughts, all you knew was that it seemed like a calamity through your eyes. "Uh, I refuse to announce the winner until the end of the ceremony." You raised a hand in the air as you said so.

They both sulked a little before turning to you again. "What's the next challenge?" You tapped your chin before deciding, "How about we do a mixture of the different cultures, Ciel is good at sword dueling thingies so he'll be able to participate in this one." You stated and then snickered, Ciel was clearly embarrassed and ready to strangle you. "What? I'm giving everyone advantages, no go on!" You teased Ciel and pushed him off of the arm of the chair. Ciel glared at you from the corner off his eye and stomped over to where the other two stood. "Ok-." You were interrupted when Sebastian whispered something in your ear.

"Oh ok, I'll be back!" You held up your index finger to Eri, Soma, and Ciel then jumped over the arm of the chair before rushing off behind Sebastian. Sebastian ended up leading you to the front door, which was slightly open. You peeked your head out to see Alois and Claude. "Oh, Hi Alois!" You smiled and stepped out fully, Alois smiled back and hugged you tightly. "I've had enough hugs today." Alois pulled back and looked over you. "I told you Claude I should've worn my Indian attire today."

Alois told his butler as he turned his head to look at him before turning back to you. "Ready to go?" Alois asked you. "Uh.." You parted your lips and continued making that noise, then you remembered. "Not exactly, because we're playing a game." You smiled sheepishly and put your hands behind your back. "But I made a promise to make you feel better." Alois said sulking, "Can I play!?" You pondered before giving a slight nod. "Ok, I'll be back!" Alois kissed your forehead before running back to his carriage. You waved him off and returned inside.

"Sorry, Alois was-what are you doing?" You asked Eri, who was hitting Soma on-top of his head with a sheathed sword. "I'm trying to teach Soma to hold a sword properly." Eri said hiding it behind her back and giving you cheeky smile. "What about Alois?" Ciel asked. "He was prepared to take me, but he decided to join in." You answered. "Well then, where is he?" Ciel asked and you scratched your cheek. "He decided to dress appropriately for the occasion." You said then turned to Soma and Eri.

"Alright, first two to fight are Eri and Soma!" You announced and jumped back into your seat. Ciel came and sat on the side of your chair to watch the sword battle, right as you were about to push him off again, Soma's butler came and offered you sweets. "Oh, thank you.." You trailed off, not knowing his name. "Agni." He stated with a bow. "Thank you Agni!" You smiled and took a scone from the platter. About time you looked back over at Eri and Soma, they were already in position. "Start!" You swallowed your scone.

Eri flipped her sword backwards and ran for Soma, she flipped over him and struck him in the back of the head with the back of the sword. "Game set!" You randomly shouted, Soma stood still in his spot, unable to process what just happened. "Never stay in one spot dueling with a person skilled at a Katana." Eri patted his shoulder. "Ok, next Eri and Ciel!" You stated and used this moment to push him off once more. "Stop that!" Ciel yelled at you and walked over to Eri, taking the sword Soma and pushing him over.

Soma finally realized what was happening and got up, he sat on the floor next to your chair to watch. "Start!" You stated. Eri and Ciel quickly dashed towards each other with their sword raised. Eri flipped her sword over and positioned herself to jump. As soon as she did, Ciel slid under her and struck her in the back. "Game set!" You stated. "Never create a opening for a person smaller than you. " Ciel placed a hand on Eri's arm, mocking her actions.

The next hours were very well spent, the events continued to everyone's comfort, the next event was to see who could serve you the best, then snake charming. Not to long after, you fell sleep, unable to tell the winner. Poor Alois didn't get to participate in any of the games because he arrived when you were asleep.

----------Ciel's P.O.V.----------

I know it's late, I'm just checking on (Y/N). I thought to myself while walking down the corridor that led to (Y/N)'s room. When I arrived, Eri was nowhere to be found. I slowly approached the sleeping girl and moved some loose hairs from her face. "I now claim you as mine." I whispered and gave (Y/N) a chaste kiss. I pulled back and looked over her face that would always bring a smile to my face. I left her room and continued back to my own. I turned to look at down the corridor just as I was walking down the stairs, I tripped and started falling back-first. Before I was able to come in contact with anything, two arms hoisted me up. "Master, what are you doing up so late?" Sebastian asked me, reaching his arms through the railings and holding my shivering body up. "Master Ciel?" Eri asked appearing next to Sebastian. I just sighed in relief.
