The sister of the Queen's Watchdog( Kuroshitsuji )

Chapter 4. Undertaker

It's been a week since the kidnapping and Ciel insisted we stay together at all times from then on. He never lets me out of his eye and it's starting to annoy me. Right now I'm in his study fighting with him to let me go out in town for some shopping.

"No! Ciela, it's too dangerous to go alone!"

"Ciel, as long as I have a weapon I will be alright! Don't you trust me? You want to keep me locked up in here like mom and dad did?... If you want I will take Snake with me."I gave him the best sad and big puppy eyes I was capable of and he couldn't help but sigh defeated.

"Fine, but don't stay out too long and take this."He handed me a pendant that had their contract symbol on."With this Sebastian would know if something happens to you."

"Thank you. I'll be home before dinner. Good luck with your paperwork."I walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek while he pushed a gun in my hands and when I pulled back his cheeks were a bit pink.

"Why do you have to do that...? It's embarrassing..."

"Because I like it when the feared Earl Phantomhive blushes from just a peck from his sister. It's cute." With that I made my way out of his study and grabbed Snake on the way towards the front door.

He prepared the carriage in record time and we started towards town in no time. Some of his snakes were inside with me, but that didn't bother me. I grew used to them. I always liked to play with Snake and his companions.

"Where to, sexy lady? Oscar asks." Snake blushed at the nickname Oscar has for me. I couldn't help but giggle at that. It seems that Oscar, Wilde and Wordsworth were the flirty type and poor Snake dies of embarrassment every time he has to translate for those three.

"Shopping district, please. And if you want something don't hesitate to tell me, okay, Snake?"

"Y-yes, lady Ciela..."

We made our way to the Shopping district and Snake stopped right next to a bakery. The smell of brownies just out of the oven and other baked goods overflowed our senses and made our mouths to water. Snake jumped down and quickly got in the little bakery only to come back moments later with a couple of bags full with baked goods. He offered me some croissants and brownies that I gladly accepted with a smile.

We enjoyed them while sitting on a bench, but the people kept whispering about the two of us, especially Snake. I could tell he was feeling uneasy as a group of three girls that were close to us kept making fun of his appearance. I glared at them, making them shudder in fear and walk away then I looked at my companion.

"Don't listen to them. They are just mean and do it just so they could feel superior, but you are better than them."

"T-thank you, lady Ciela..."

"God, just call me Ciela. We've been friends for 5 years, Snake. I told you I'm not into formalities."At that he gave me a smile and stuck out his tongue at me playfully. I sometimes forget he is such a good actor and that he speaks for himself mostly when he is with me. I'm glad that he trusts me that much and that he is comfortable around me.

"So, where to now? Clothing stores? I heard from the others that you and the master will attend a party this weekend. You need a new dress, don't you?"He asked before stuffing a mini-croissant in his mouth and I let out a long sigh.

"I don't know, Snake. I mean since the kidnapping Ciel barely lets me out of the house and even if I do go I have tons of gowns already. Why would I buy another one?"

"True that. Then how about we go and look for some pants and shirts for you? You always take either one of mine or the master's shirts and I want to know why."
