Cheryl's POV~
The Next Day~
I woke up to sunlight floating through the window of my big brother's room while Sebastian opened the thick curtains. Sahaana was on the side of the room, pouring tea into cups. I sat up, while Ciel did the same. I fretted him good morning and left with Sahaana to get dressed.

I left the room so Sebastian could get Ciel dressed and so Sahaana could also help me get dressed into my outfit for the day.

We reached my room and walked inside. I sat down at my vanity while Sahaana went through my closet, searching for an outfit. I sipped my tea and waited.

She quickly picked out my outfit that was simple and easy for the day. It was a blue lolita dress with a white overcoat and my blue gloves. White stockings and my blue Mary Jane shoes. And of course my eyepatch.

Sahaana dressed me and then did my blue hair into a braid leading to a ponytail.


She put some light makeup and then we left for breakfast. I went down for breakfast and talked with Ciel, knowing that it was the Season, we had to go out to London. It was also that we could then work on the 'JACK THE RIPPER' case. We finished up breakfast and then moved to front door, where we were leaving to go to London. Sahaana had already packed my belongings and they were already in the carriage. She put on my hat and Ciel and I went to sit in the carriage, ready to go to London.

England's summers are very short. It's the hottest from May to August. People call it the "Season". Aristocrats from all over the world are invited to London for many social events.

"Young master, young mistress, it's been a while since you last went out, isn't it?" Sebastian asked.

"We could care less about who sent the letter. We hate going to crowded places," Ciel said, after walking towards the town house, me trailing beside him.

We went inside, Sahaana helping Sebastian with extra chores and such. I honestly ship those two together! They're really cute together!

"But maybe being away from the mansion is okay too, for a change," Sahaana replied, while taking off my hat and overcoat.

"Isn't it much more peaceful without those four by your side?" Sebastian asked, right after Sahaana gave out her opinion.

Suddenly, voices in the drawing room came out, as we draped closer to it.

"Jeez, where did they put the tea leaves in this house?" Aunt Ann's voice sounded out.

"I can't find them either...," a different voice said, me not knowing who it was.

"MADAME RED!? LAU!? Why are you here?" big brother shouted.

"Ah, they came out so quickly," Aunt Ann said, looking over at us.

"Since my cute little nephew and niece are in London, how could I not come visit you two while I'm here?" Aunt Ann said dramatically.

"Hey Earl, little miss. I heard that many interesting things happen here," Lau also said dramatically.

Sebastian then bowed, "We had no idea guests were coming, I apologize for not accommodating you earlier."

"I'll go prepare tea immediately my lady, my lord," Sahaana said, curtsying while going out of the room to make tea.

Time Skip~
"Ah, Grell. You should follow Sebastian and Sahaana's example. Anyways, every time I see you two, your still so beautiful and handsome. Why don't you simply quit working here and come serve me!" Madam Red said, while stroking Sebastian's butt.

"*Cough* Madame Red!" I quickly shout, not wanting to make the scene anymore flustering.

"Let's talk seriously now. I've heard about the case of prostitutes being murdered on the streets lately," Ciel explained.

"You mean what's been on the news nonstop lately? I know of it," Madame Red replied leaning on her arm, "However, what are you planning?"

"This isn't just some ordinary case. The killer's ways are very special- no, i should say abnormal. That's why 'she' is so concerned about it," I answered, filling in my spot as the queen's fox.

"The police and other prostitutes call the murderer 'JACK THE RIPPER'," big brother finished, taking a bite of cake that was set out.

"We wanted to know the circumstances sooner, so we rushed out to London, too," I noted.

"So the queen's guard dog and fox have already been dispatched, but I'm not interested...... However, do you have the guts to go to the crime scene?" Lau inputted, making his opinion clear.

"...What do you mean?" Ciel asked.

"I smelled a wild beast at the crime scene. This murderer is definitely an abnormal madman," Lau replied, "Will you be scared, Earl and Mistress of Phantomhive?" placing his hand on Ciel and my cheek.

"I came because i was worried about my sister and my fiancée, I don't need to answer your pointless questions," Ciel glared, eyes filled with determination.

Lau smirked, "... Not bad. That look in your eyes is good Phantomhives," he said mischievously, "Then come take a stroll with me!!" as he pulled our arms.

"WAIT A MINUTE!" Aunt Ann shouted, and irk mark showing up in her face, "Seriously!! I rarely ever get to have some afternoon tea with the earl and miss, but I can't even enjoy it in peace? I want to go too. Lau, where's the crime scene?" Madame asked.

"Don't you know, Madame? ... I don't know the way either," Lau replied to Auntie.

Aunt Ann then yells, "You talk so arrogantly, yet you don't even know where it is!?"

I sighed, "Calm down, we know at least one person that's been to the crime scene."

"Eh?" Both people said.

(A/N: Cheryl doesn't take her personal maid with her during cases so Sahaana would stay at the town house which they work on the case. Btw, she's also part demon. Like 39% demon, 61% human.)
Time Skip~
At Undertaker's Parlor~
"What is this place?" Lau asked.

"WHY ARE YOU TWO FAMILIAR WITH THIS KIND OF PLACE!?" Madame Red yelled.

Sebastian replied, "Because the person the young master and mistress knows works as an undertaker."

We walked inside, me holding onto Ciel's arm.

"Are you there, Undertaker?" I call out into the shop.

"Hihi..... I knew that you would come," his voice echoing in the shop, "Wel~come Earl and Mistress... Do you want to see how it feels to sleep in my custom-made coffin?" As he slid open the door to a coffin to our right. Madame, Lau, and Grell were all trembling while Sebastian, Ciel, and I were just unamused.

"We didn't come here to play today..." I was saying, but Undertaker's long index finger went up to my face, silencing me.
