A Box Of Kittens

Chapter 14

(Video: Seal Phantomhive)

"This is impossible! There's no other evidence!" Bard groaned from his place next to the window as everyone else in the room went over what they had discovered so far.

"I think I can be of some assistance," said a new, yet familiar voice from the doorway. Everyone turned theirs heads to be greeted with Lau, accompanied by Ran Mao, wearing his usual traditional Chinese Changshan and a close-eyes smirk. Ran Mao was, as ever, clinging onto his arm.

"Mr. Lau, how very fortunate you have made it," greeted Tanaka, bowing to him.

"Yes, I wouldn't miss it for the world," Lau said pleasantly. "What are we doing?"

"If you didn't know this whole time, why didn't you just say so?!" Soma cried out angrily. Agni rested his bandaged hand on the Prince's shoulder, calming him.

"As your butler... and, as your friend, I'll say this: my master's well-being is my first priority. The Gods decided upon your friendship with the young Phantomhive boy and it is my duty as your butler to help reunite you with your friend, as well as the other missing people," Soma hugged Agni, crying shamelessly into his dark green Sherwani. "Shaant raho," he whispered to him, meaning 'be calm'.

"Wait, who is this man?" Isabella Vance asked, confusion evident on her face.

"This, Miss Vance, is Lao. His official title is 'Manager of Kong-Rong Operator of Opium Dens'. He and young Master Phantomhive are acquaintances and occasionally work together to solve cases," Tanaka provided, earning a nod of understanding from Isabella.

"I just hope Master Ciel and Mr. Sebastian come back soon..." Finny said sadly under his breath, causing Bard to clasp his shoulder in a reassuring way.

"Don't worry, we'll find them. The Queen ordered Scotland Yard to start searching for them, and the others," Bard smiled around the cigarette in his mouth. Finny smiled, thinking that they were bound Robbe found, sooner or later.

"WILL!" Grell squealed, throwing himself upon 'Will'.

"How many times do I have to tell you, my name is William, not Will!" William T. Spears said irritably as he tried to shake off a Grell clinging onto him. (your name) had discovered him in the bathroom a few minutes after discovering Ronald. William had short, neat, grey fur and the typical chartreuse coloured eyes that all Grim Reapers possessed. "I just shudder to think of all the extra overtime this predicament will cost me..." he said miserably.

"Can you two please be quiet? We're watching anime," Alois said, staring at the TV screen with the others.

"What's anime? And why are there moving coloured pictures?!" William asked.

"Some Japanese thing. And apparently we're in the future, so this is just the norm," Ciel answered, gazing intently at the screen. The anime they were watching was Attack on Titan. "I think I like this Levi guy," remarked Ciel, showing a rare smile.

"Oh, just you wait, there's so much more cool anime in the world!" (your name) smiled, excited that the Black Butler crew liked anime.

"Such as?" Asked William, suddenly interested in anime. He and Grell joined the other listening to you, and Attack on Titan.

(Personal opinions next. If you don't like these anime, deal with it, my story here)

"As well as Attack on Titan and Black Butler, there's also cool anime like Death Note, Assassination Classroom, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Hetalia and loads more! Then there's also old-school ones like Pokémon, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z. And then you can read the mangas-"

"Woah, woah, woah! Slow down, Darling, we can hardly understand what you're saying when you're taking so fast!" Grell interrupted. William sat there looking lost, as well as Ronald, who hardly knew the world they're currently in better than him.

"I'll get Beelzenef," (your name) threatened.

"Who?" They all said in confusion.

(your name) pouted. "You sound like I mentioned Canada..."

"What are you on about?" Alois laughed. (your name), taking inspiration from Tamaki Suoh, started to 'grow mushrrommd' in the corner of the room.

"Why did we have to get stuck with a wierd one?" Ciel asked, sighing. (your name), now the new Tama~Chan, sat in the corner for a little while longer until she realised that Attack on Titan was still playing. She arrived just in time to hear Eren say: "I'll kill them all! I'll wipe every one of them off the face of this Earth!"
