His Fox, Seeing The Circus

"Come now, it will be fun! You get all the food you need, and even have friends!" "I refuse. I don't need 'friends.' I'm not a pup either, I can defend myself and hunt myself." "Well I'll at least tell you the name it's..."

Ashi slowly awoke, seeing Finny clinging to his arm before he swiftly replaced the pillow in his stead. Once he was properly dressed in his uniform he quickly set out, he stepped into another room, "Good morning Yoichi." Ashi looked over at the male who looked to be writing, "Sebastian. Shall I prepare a carriage?" Sebastian nodded as He noticed Ashi finish dressing in front of his mirror, "Yes the young lord wishes to go out today. Make sure you are properly dressed."

"I am, you were the one to tell me to wear this." He begun to adjust his tie before the familiar white gloves took over for him, "Honestly... you must know this. It's basic skill." Ashi glared at him as he hotly retorted, "Excuse me for not living in western cultural areas!" Sebastian smirked as he tightened the tie closer to his throat, resulting in a growl echoing in the room, "Well well." Ashi's eyes fought against Sebastian's who only smirked and pulled the tie a bit closer, "I shall prepare breakfast then."

Twenty minutes later:

Ashi was silently waiting by the carriage as Ciel walked down the stairs, "How nice that the weather has cleared up. It's the perfect day for a circus!" Sebastian had stated aloud while Ciel looked irritated, "Circuses are held in tents. The weather is irrelevant." Ashi snickered as he ignored Sebastian, "Actually Ciel-san, there are booths which are outside of the tents, so weather does pose some importance." Ciel glared at him while Ashi laughed, "Perhaps we should put you in the circus." Ashi went to say something however it was cut off while Sebastian turned his head, "Baldo, Finny, Mey-Rin, the young master, Ashi and I will be staying in Town for a while." Baldo gave a smile, "Take care of yourself, young master!" Finny gave a cute giggle, "See you later!" Mey-Rin held a tissue to her eyes, "Please come back soon!" While a little Tanaka waved around. Ashi walked over to Finny, "Finny-kun, please be careful. If you need any help just call for me okay?"

"Okay! But have fun Yoichi!" Ashi nodded before he had something whispered into his ear by the young lad before he smiled and placed a hand on his heart bowing some, "I will, Finny-sama." Ciel looked towards the affectionate moment before calling out to him, "Hurry Ashi. You three." Ashi turned his head with a small frown while Ciel climbed into the carriage, "Look after the place while I'm gone." Each servant looked excited at his order, "Yes, my lord!" Ashi smiled and bowed gently towards the group, "Excuse me, take care!" He climbed inside before Sebastian started and the carriage was off. So Ashi begun to read his own letter. He did not have a ticket, that was with Ciel's.

My dear knight,

How did you enjoy your christmas? My attempt to make a Christmas pudding with Phipps was a great success, and we have received a lot of praise from John and Grey. Perhaps you will be able to taste it one day. Now, about the tickets Ciel has, one is for you. I wish for you to join him on his quest at this circus. A large number of children are missing from towns they've visited. Although the police are doing all they can, they still haven't been found. They always vanish in the middle of the night without a trace. As if they were lured away by a pied piper of Hamelin... the sorrow of losing a family member is difficult to bear. I sincerely hope the children will return safely to their families soon. Please help them, but do enjoy yourself.

Ashi finished reading the letter as he frowned, "Pied piper? What is that?" Sebastian was about to explain but Ciel beat him to it, "It is a piper, who plays a wind instrument, who wears colorful clothes and lured away rats from a place in Germany. When the town refused to pay him he then lured away all the children." Ashi frowned as he looked upset at the idea, "That's terrible. Children should not be stolen away." Sebastian looked amused before he glanced at his master, "Where will you go first, my lord?" Ciel nods noting how close the two are having a hint of red on his cheeks, "Hmm, first of all..."
