His Butler: Punishment

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Alois had found the longer version of that pretty blue outfit she had worn before before finally going into the main hall where everyone was at. After putting on her best fake smile she curtsied before the Viscount, like a true lady. "Good morning Lord Viscount Druitt. Welcome once again to Trancy Manor. My name is Elois Trancy, the cousin of the famous Alois Trancy. I'll be showing you his latest fashions in his stead. Both outfits worn by me and the Baroness are both part of his new female fashion line."  

[Claude Faustus]

The viscount stared at 'Elois' with awe, "How incredibly beautiful you are miss Trancy." he stood up and approached her taking her hand and kissing it. "I also see Alois as my cousin, it's too bad that you have been adopted, I surely would have asked your hand in marriage dear girl." He gave her a look that he wasn't sorry at all, there where ways of getting around that.
"Ahem....Viscount if you please. My time is very pressing" Isabella said, feeling that p***k of jealousy and anger when the shameless pervert gave 'Elois' that look.
The older blond man grinned. "Of course. Miss Torquemada." Seeing her look of anger as jealously of paying attention to the pretty blond girl, he went to sit beside Isabella smiling at her in a flirty manner.

Alois continued to smile on the outside, but she wanted to kill him on the inside. "Yes quite the shame that I was adopted. Such a loss indeed, but the Baroness is quite correct as well. Time is very pressing, and we don't have a lot of it, so let's just get down to business shall we." She then realized that the Viscount wasn't paying attention anymore so she placed the files containing the designs right into his hands. "Now is not the time to flirt with my friends. Here are the designs for the new season. Please have a look."  

[Claude Faustus]

It took every ounce of self control not to just pull her hand back and deck the man.
Lord Aleister Chamber smiled as he took the file, stealing a glance down the top of Elois' dress. He opened the file. "Ahh....How pretty!" he gushed, holding up the picture. "Nice lines, fantastic draping...is that ruashing?"
Isabella wanted to shoot herself in the head, the viscount was oohh'ing and Ahh'ing at the drawings of the designs when he finally put the last one down he looked up at Elois. "This is going to be quiet the collection, I dare say that Alois will steal the hearts of fashionesta's the world over! I just have one request...." He pointed out the two of the most revealing dresses. "...Would it trouble my dear cousin Aloisif I ask for a...personal showing of thses dresses?" He brazenly out his hand on Isabella's crossed knee.
It was that exact moment that Satrina seemed to trip as she was serving them tea. the boiling hot water splashed on his lap.
"AAAAIIIII!!!!"  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Alois made a mental note to give Satrina a raise in her paycheck as she quickly rushed off to go and give him a towel before she handed it to him. "So sorry about that Viscount. She's a new maid, and she's still learning the ropes. As for trying them on Alois will not allow it. He said to only show the designs, and not showcase them. You're going to have to wait till the fashion show for a live preview. Is that all the business for today Sir?"  

[Claude Faustus]

After hopping about in pain for a moment, The Viscount shook his head. "N-Not that will be all....I-I can see myself out thank you."

As soon as the carriage left Isabella started laughing. Satrina smirked. "I'm so sorry my lady, the teacup was clearly misbehaving."  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Alois was busting out laughing as well the very moment that he was gone. "You don't need to be sorry, you're getting a raise. I'm praising you for what you did. That man is nothing more then a womanizing sick pervert. I'm proud of you, and your father would be too, where ever he vanished to."  

[Claude Faustus]

Speaking of whom Claude blinked when he woke up, sitting up the grass. He was surprised that he was alive, he was sure that Lilith had killed him. Puzzling over this strange event, he stood up and brushed himself off trying to remember what he was doing. He was going to Trancy manor to pick something up wasn't he? Some chocolates for Sebastian.....The spider butler blinked again. Chocolate? for his most hated rival? "Impossible, I must be out of my mind.' he said to himself. He truned aroudn and headed back to the Phantomhive manor.

"Thank you My Lady." Satrina said then looked down. "What about....your other problem? We could do see a doctor, it's still should be early enough for a procedure. so that you can change back into a male."
Isabella frowned and looked at Alois.  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Sebastian was doing his usual dusting, wondering when Claude was finally going to be home so that they could start trying to have children. He knew the other was so eager to start a family with him, and he wanted to make his lover happy.

"What other problem? Being pregnant isn't a problem at all. We talked about you giving me a child before, and you said that you would love to. I'm going to give birth to it, and have an heir to my fortunes and title after I'm gone."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude walked into the manor, finally remembering why he was in here, his general purpose was to one day consume Ciel's soul. He just had to keep acting as his butler to ensure the moment when it would be ripe, but....Ciel no longer wanted revenge, he thought deeply about his options. The way to the young man's heart was his love for Isabella, no doubt that he would have to arrange for her demise and somehow pin the blame on Sebastian.
He was ready to do whatever he needed, but it would require some work and a large amount of deception for it to work.
Walking into the kitchen Claude started to tidy the mess that the human house servants had made during their breakfast.



"Are you sure Alois?" Satrina asked but before she could get an answer from her Mistress. Isabella gave Alois a happy hug, there where tears in her eyes. She had been shocked when she heard the news, but had thought it over, hoping to convince Alois to keep it, she was going to take the baby as her own if there would have been a problem. But hearing that Alois wasn't only going to keep it but also accept it as her/his heir touched her heart and made her very happy.
"I'm so glad, Alois."  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

During his dusting he could sense that Claude was back home in the manor, but one thing stopped him from running to where he was at. Something was off about his aura. Something wayyyyy off. He couldn't feel his deep passions, or is emotions like he's usually able to do. Instead he sensed a darkness resembling the hunger for a human soul, and the willingness to do anything to get it. Like a...real demon. Sebastian hoped that his feelings were off, that there was some mistake to the way that he read into this, and needed to see for himself, even if it broke his own heart.

He gently placed his cleaning supplies on the counter before rushing into the kitchen, and now that dark feeling from him was even stronger then before. I've never prayed to God before, but please Lord let me be wrong just this once... He looked almost hurt already as he looked at the back of the man he loved the most. "Claude? Welcome back....where have you been? What....happened to you while you were out?"

Alois smiled and hugged her back. "Yes Satrina I'm sure this is what we want. Ciel will understand and agree to let me have it as well, I'm sure of it. I'll raise it here at the manor, so he won't have to worry about a single thing on his end."  

[Claude Faustus]

Claude truned around putting the cleaning cloth down, he put a smile on his face. 'Ah yes, I remember now. Sebastian was my lover' that fact amused him as he looked at the other demon. Without emotions clouding his senses, he could tell how much weaker Sebastian was compared to him. In a way he wouldn't have to bother with the crow-demon anymore. Sebastian's weakness was more cause for scorn then anything else.

"I am sorry to have worried you." Claude said. It was difficult to tint his words with emotions he didn't really feel. "Apparently I spent the night unconscious...." now that he thought about it the only person who would attack him would be...."Lilith." Claude's voice truned icy. "I was attacked by Lilith...."

His memories where a little hazy, but it was all clearing up, he remembered everything now. He had been with Sebastian as his lover and partner for four years in the mortal world. He scowled, confused by his apparent non-demonic actions and words. 'I love you' He had been just as weak as Sebastian was!

Claude slowly put a hand to his chest."...and she....took my heart."  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Sebastian could tell that Claude was confused within his mind. It's like he remembered everything, but he was confused by it because he didn't have a heart, and the way that he looked at him made him feel like he was weak rather then strong like he thought he was. It was true, he didn't have an awesome amount of powers, but he had enough to protect his Bochan from harm, like when he took out the angel. Crows weren't as manipulative and cunning as spiders were.

"Lilith did this to you huh? You're supposed to be my lover Claude, but I never once considered myself weak because of it....so don't you dare look at me like that anymore...."

Grell had been taking a nap down in Hell in the room she used to share with Satan when her eyes suddenly opened up. She could sense that Sebastian was in high distress so she instantly got up, got dressed, and found her 1st In Command, Socrion, and told him to watch over things while she was gone. When he simply nodded his head she went off to the portal.  

[Claude Faustus]

"Like what? Like you where less then then a simple demon? Demons are not supposed to feel things like love. Mr.Michaelis. In my view you are less then a demon." Claude said, not even remotely apologetic about it. But he didn't want to be rude to him, Sebastian was after all still the head butler. "..is there anything else you wish to speak to me about?" He asked. "I can assure you, that even with my missing heart, I am very much quite well."  

[JuuzousJason XIII]

Again he felt extremely hurt. "I'm not any less of a demon...I'll talk to you when you're back to being yourself." He then turned and was about to go and finish his chores when Grell appeared in the room with him.

"So that's what happened huh? Lilith stole Claude's heart, making him forget abut his feelings for you Sebby? That is simply unforgivable!" She then sighed a bit at Claude and then at Sebastian. "Sebastian...who would have use for Claude's heart? I know she wouldn't dare use it on herself. Who could she manipulate to do her dirty work for her? Claude where were you heading when Lilith attacked you?"
