Behind those eyes {black butler fanfic}

Act II - Fufilling the contract

I stood in the midnight breeze, my newly coloured sakura hair blissfully blowing in the wind.

"Your new hair colour will ensure that nobody that you knew will recognise you"
The mans words played through my mind once again.

It probably wouldn't have mattered because everyone who knew me was from the next country over, but hey precautions are precautions.

I'm not complaining though.

I was a fan of the pink and plus it went with my new black dress the man had me fitted with. Apparently a demon's best colour is black.

Anyway, there was a reason that I was standing in the countryside at midnight. And that reason was I was slowly but surely making my way to the Phantomhive manor to assassinate the head of the manor; Ciel Phantomhive, and also the head of Funtom toy company.

Who was coincidentally my master's business rival.

Apparently Funtom and Hadecian, my masters company, have been at eachother's throats for years, even though Ciel is apparently no older than twelve.

I couldn't even process my own thoughts at twelve, never mind run my own business.

But he's not alone. According to my master, Ciel has a demon butler who he bends to do his every command. Ciel allegedly is willing to give his soul to him in exchange to find out who murdered his family.

A brat with a sad backstory who wants revenge. I like it.

Returning from my thoughts, I continued to run through the serene forest with grace. I was concocting different schemes on how I would kill the Phatomhive child, and how to set up a diversion so that the illusive butler wouldn't disturb us. The downside was that I still didn't know what my 'special demon powers' were.

Behind me I heard rustling in the bushes. Let the fun begin, Phantomhive.

In a flash, a huge white dog leapt out at me and attached itself to my shoulder. I gritted my teeth. This was not how it was supposed to turn out, at all.

I swiped the mutt off with my hand and he immediately crashed into a tree. I scanned my hands.
Wow superhuman strength. I could get used to this. I smiled deviously to myself, this mutt was going to get one hell of a beating.

I ran at him while he was still down and elbowed him in his head. I flipped and kicked him with my heel. I've always hated dogs but at this moment I couldn't despise him more.

The dog gave out a loud whimper. I wanted to feel sympathy for it but I refused to. I continued the same routine of slamming my elbow down on its head and roundhouse kicking it, which was quite hard considering I was wearing a dress and my hair was constantly in my face. Geez.

"Come back Pluto, we don't want you getting hurt anymore." An ominous, strong English voice beckoned from behind me.

In an instant, the white mutt was bounding over to where the voice was coming from. The voice sighed.
"The young master will kill me if he sees what state you're in, why couldn't you be a cat?" I tried to suppress a giggle from escaping my throat. My smile faded instantly when I realised who I was up against. The Phantomhive butler.

The voice finally showed himself and damn was he hot. Gorgeous, thick black hair which was complimented by his piercing, red eyes. I tried to stop myself from blushing, even though he probably couldn't see me. This was the second time in a day that I'd blushed at men and I wasn't used to it.

"What do you want, demon?" I snarled viciously at the man, hiding the fact that I had been fangirling at him only seconds before.
"I'm not sure what you mean miss, as you yourself are a demon if I'm correct" the thick English voice returned.

"Oh yeah..." I had one of my blond moments. I could literally feel the charcoal haired beauty anime style fall. That was when I decided to strike. Dirty, but I didn't care. I had a job to finish.

I sped towards him and drop kicked on his head. The bastard moved my leg as soon as it was going down to the floor and flipped me halfway across the forest terrain. I gritted my teeth. This wasn't going to be as fun as I thought it was.

"What do you want, man?" I spat out.
The man just simply smiled "why I'm just ridding my master's land of trespassers" he cracked his knuckles "and my name is Sebastian by the way, I don't appreciate being called man"

"Well I'm Ace" I threw the words out of my mouth like they were venom. "And I'm just simply wishing to meet the Lord of the manor so I can make a business deal with him." I kept my monotone appearance while I carefully brushed off my dress and sorted out my hair. "Hadecian corporations wishes to make a deal with Funtom."

"Well I suppose it is bad to keep a lady waiting" Sebastian sighed again. He sent the dog, Pluto, on its way.
He linked him arms with mine. "Shall we be going?" He smiled in such a smug, snotty way that I would've punched him if I wasn't blushing furiously. That ass Sebastian was teasing me.
"Happily" I murmured bitterly.

Walking through a creepy forest with the moonlight illuminating your hair while also arm in arm with a demon butler was not how I expected to spend my first day as an immortal entity. But hey I was gonna live forever so I might as well enjoy it as it lasts.

We idly made our way over to the Phantomhive manor. I tried to emerge into my own thoughts, but that proved quite a challenge because I had a hunk of a man next to me. I hadn't been this in love since I met my fiancée only days before my 'getting stabbed' ordeal.
I gasped in wonder and amazement when the mansion came into view. It was absolute beauty, but with a mix of solemness and demise. It made me want to cry and it intrigued me at the same time. I knew that I couldn't turn back and this was it. Time to murder Ciel I suppose.

We casually strolled into the mansion, arm in arm still. I didn't know what his servants would think of me because if this. Not that it mattered. I gazed around the insides of the mansion which was seemingly desolate. It was late at night after all.

That would make it easier for me to destroy Ciel then.

"Well I'm awfully tired Sebastian so could I possible stay somewhere?" I faked a yawn.
"Nice try Miss Ace, but us demons don't sleep do we?" Sebastian mused chirpily.
"Well shit..." I muttered under my breath.

He gave me a hearty laugh. I instantly wanted to sink into a hole or press a restart button for making such a stupid mistake. "Your room is next to master's, I'll show you next to it now."

I instantly started to feel distrustful of the fellow demon. Putting me next to Ciel's room? Something had to be up. I tried to shake off my suspicion and told myself I was just being paranoid.

The walk to the room was boring and uneventful, although I always thought as if I being watched. I really needed to be more on guard, my master warned me that Ciel had some bad tricks up his sleeve. I heard what happened to some of his 'clients'. Just the thought made me shudder.

"I must be off now Miss Ace, have a pleasant stay and have a good sleep." Sebastian snickered. I smiled sarcastically at him but as soon as he turned his back on me, my smile turned into a wicked one.

Time to kill some twelve year old ass.
