Different Meeting

Playing and Pain

AN: Hello once again my readers! I have returned once more for this story. I would like to say that there will be upcoming gore soon, and since I can't really write about scenes like that very well, I will be having that part made by a friend of mine. She's pretty good at it. So, for warning, and there will be a warning in that chapter, if you can't handle gore than just skip over it.

The next morning came too soon, Tanaka woke Ciel to the news that Lady Elizabeth was arriving in an hour. Sebastian only watched in dog form as Ciel carefully gotten out of bed, noticing how the boy bit his tongue and walked with an obvious limp. The being even had to help him get dress because of how sore his body was from yesterday.

"Are you sure you want to see her, young master," he asked, putting Ciel's socks on.

"I have to, it would be rude to not. You can't simply say 'no' to a young lady, Sebastian."

The being, even though he'd been here for a short amount of time, knew very well who Lady Elizabeth Midford was. She was a small energetic ball of pink to him. And highly annoying. If it wasn't for the single fact that she was Ciel's fiancé and cousin then he would have killed her on the first day. She always darted from one place to another, leaving a large trail of pink and anything cute in her way.

"The day will go quickly, Sebastian, don't worry," Ciel said, snapping him from his thoughts. The being looked up to see the human facing him, a small smile curving his lips. "I know how you don't like her but all you have to do is help me hide the bruises, that's it." Sebastian returned the smile, switching to a dog once more. Ciel stood up from the bed, heading to the door before Sebastian nudged him in the leg. "What is it?"

The dog strode in front of him, sitting down so that the boy was facing his back. "It will only be this once but since you're wounded, you don't have to walk if you don't want to." Ciel widened his eyes in surprise, "Really? What if I'm too heavy for you? I don't want to hurt you or anything, Sebastian."

There was a chuckle as the canine didn't move. "Don't fret, young master. You hardly weigh anything for me to carry. Now, come, we can't have the lady waiting, can we?"

Ciel giggled quietly, getting on Sebastian's back steadily. The being began to walk down the hallway, mind already set on going to the living room but his focus was blurred when feeling Ciel's hands grip in his fur. "Go, Sebastian, go," he commanded, wrapping his feet around the dog's stomach. Sebastian glanced back to say something when seeing the human's smile again, but it was bigger this time. It had only been a small while since he had last seen that smile, bright and excited. Showing true childish glee.

With a quiet sigh he obeyed, slowly running so the boy stayed on. The running earned him cheerful laughter from the young boy, holding on firmly as they went to the living room. And it seemed too soon to Sebastian when they made it there.

With Tanaka serving them tea, Elizabeth was sitting on a couch across from Rachel.

Ciel's mother wore a loose, light blue dress with her hair down. She only glanced at her son and his companion before quickly looking back at the young girl. Her smooth grin was then replaced with a small frown, her body tensing up as she silently glared.

They sounded to be in the middle of a conversation when Ciel and Sebastian came in, but Elizabeth simply raced towards them with open arms. She had on a bright pink dress, an orange ribbon wrapped around her mid section. Her blonde curls bouncing as she ran, emerald green eyes filled with happiness.

"CIEL," she squealed, hugging the boy tightly as she twirled him around. "I've missed you so much!" Ciel seemed like a rag doll in her arms and when she calmed down a bit, he took in a breath. "...Nice to see you too, Lizzy," he said back, slipping out of her grasp as Elizabeth went towards the being on disguise.
