[IC] Contracted Souls (Between XxLyraxX & a moyashi)

[XxLyraxX]

A dark shape swiftly and silently darted across the moon-lit garden, disappearing into the bushes. A blue and red glowed in the darkness as Vivian gazed up at the manor. It is how Milady described it but...was it not destroyed in the fire? There was something odd about this mansion; it had a...demon's aura around it. Now what would a demon be doing at Phantomhive Manor? Curious indeed. The demoness mused to herself as she crept closer, intent on finding out what was going on before she reported back to her mistress.

Ceil sat in his study, looking over paperwork regarding expanding the Funtom Company and he sighed softly.
"Young Master" Sebastian said as he entered the study with his master's evening tea.
"Yes?" Ceil did not look up from his work and spun the ring on his thumb.
Sebastian stepped up and placed the tea down. "Here is your evening tea." He paused for a moment. "And I feel as if I should notify you of something."
Now Ceil looked up "What is it?"
His butler's eyes had a slight red glow to them as he spoke, "I sense another demons presence on the grounds sir."

Vivian crept closer, peeking in through a window into what appeared to be a kitchen. There was a blonde man standing at the stove but black smoke was wafting up from whatever was cooking on the stove. A maid was bustling about and Vivian watched as she seemed to trip over her shoes laces and tumbled to the floor, the plates she was carrying falling to the ground and smashing with a crash. Another blonde man, younger than the first burst into the kitchen, panicking when he saw the broken china. An amused smirk crossed the normally stoic demon's features as she watched the turmoil.

[a moyashi]

Ceil. "Do take care of it. Along with what ever is going on downstairs" Why would another demon be on the grounds..? Whatever the reason was, Ceil fully trusted his butler to take care of it.
Sebastian bowed "yes young master" and he turned to leave. The usually unemotional butler let curiousness rise up in the back of his mind as he walked downstairs, why would another demon be on the property? He reached the kitchen and sighed "honestly you three" he started cleaning up the mess and the sense of the demon became stronger.

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian watched curiously as a pale man dressed in butler garb came into the kitchen and started cleaning up the mess. Ah, so there was the demon. Vivian studied him, seeing that he was contracted. I better be careful, we contracted demon's get fairly...possessive when another demon is around our prey. She thought to herself as she slipped away from the window and silently darted around back. She looked up and saw an open window. She crouched down before she leaped into the air and through the window, landing silently inside.

[a moyashi]

After the mess was clean, Sebastian followed the sense of the demon. His master ordered him to take care of it and, well, what sort of butler would he be if he couldn't take care of a stray demon on the grounds?
Ceil put down the paperwork and started eating his parfait. It was perfect as usual and helped him relax a bit. I have so much to do. I just hope her majesty has no need for me until after I get the expansion finalized... I wish I wasn't doing this alone... But he would never let anyone know that.

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian sniffed the air. The room had barely any scents so she assumed this was a rarely used guestroom. The demon looked around curiously before she focused back on her task. Her mistress had caught wind of a manor resembling the burned down Phantomhive estate and she had instructed Vivian to check the place out. The female silently crept over to the door and slipped into the hallway. She quietly crept down and came to a door. She quickly slipped inside and smirked when she saw a boy around Celia's age sitting at a desk.

[a moyashi]

Ceil did not look up from his parfait, assuming that it could only be Sebastian walking through the door. "Well, is it taken care of?"
But Sebastian was climbing through the window, this demon Is getting awfully close to his young master. If this demon gets much closer to Master I'll have to take more time to get him out, and then dinner will be late.

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian tilted her to the side lightly as she examined the boy. There was something oddly familiar about him. The demon kept in the shadows, sensing that the other demon was growing near. She turned her gaze to the boy, wondering why he was contracted to a demon. He didn't seem like the type but then again neither was
Celia and look where they were now.

[a moyashi]

"Sebastian" Ceil looked u and was shocked to not see his butler there and quickly scanned the room as Sebastian walked in. "Sebastian did you handle the problem?"
"One moment young master" he said pleasantly as he walked right up to the other demon. "I'm afraid this is a private estate and I must ask you to leave."

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian examined the boys face and smirked. "Ah...You resemble the young Mistress Celia." The demon said before she turned to the butler and curtsied. "I am terribly sorry for the trespassing but you know how being contracted is, you simply must follow every order." She said with a small laugh. "Adieu Ciel, I do hope you visit your sister soon, ta ta~" She said before a large gust of window blew through the room and scattered the papers laying on the desk. Vivian smiled as she sped across the country back towards town where her mistress waited.

[a moyashi]

Ceil stood straight up at what he heard. Ceila...? "Sebastian! Take me and follow that demon!"
"Yes master" Sebastian said as he picked Ceil up and ran out after the demon.
Ceil was silent, but his mind was churning... Ceila had disappeared after the fire that killed mother and farther.. I haven't seen her since that night.... I have to try and see if it is her...

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian soon arrived at the small house they were staying at and slipped inside. She appeared in the library and kneeled before the stair seated on the rug next to the fire place. Celia smiled at her maid. "Welcome back Celia, were you successful?" The girl inquired. "The manor is how you described it to me mistress. Everything seemed to have been replicated perfectly." Celia sat there as she absorbed that information. "Who...Why would someone make a copy of Phantomhive manor?"

[a moyashi]

Sebastian carried Ceil to the house and set him down. "Should we knock Master?"
"She didn't bother to, why should we?" He responded with a frown. If that demon girl was lying about his twin sister he would make sure she suffered.
The two entered the house with Sebastian leading the way, following the sense to the library.

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian sensed the two entered the house and she smirked. "It appears that we have company mistress." She said as she straightened and stood behind Celia's right shoulder, blue and red eye gleaming in the dim lighting. Celia looked at the demon curiously but was distracted by someone opening the door to the library.

[a moyashi]

Sebastian entered first and was momentarily taken aback by how much the lady in front of him looked lik his Master. That moment was obviously too long for Ceil because he pushed past his butler into the room and looked at the girl in front of him. "Celia..?" He asked, letting a little bit of his weakness poke through in his voice. Please let this be my sister... please let this not be some cruel joke...

[XxLyraxX]

Lydia watched in confusion as a tall man with black hair and red eyes wearing a butler suit stepped into the room but she didn't have time to focus on him as a shorted figure pushed past the man and stepped inside the room as well. As Celia looked at him, she felt her breath freeze in her chest and her eyes widen. "C-Ciel..?" She whispered, sure that she was dreaming. She glanced back at Vivian and the demon smiled slightly at her. "Your eyes do not deceive you mistress." At that Celia shot up from her chair and ran across the room, throwing her arms around her twin, who was taller than she and cried against his jacket, not able to believe her eyes.

[a moyashi]

Ceil's eyes widened as he wrapped his arms around her. She was real and standing here in his arms. "Ceila... I thought you died with mother and father in the fire..."
Sebastian was rather amused watching this exchange. His young master was practically radiating shocked and happiness, which is something he had never seen him do before. Sebastian approached the other demon and spoke politely. "I assume you had it planned to lure my young master here in hopes of reuniting them?"

[XxLyraxX]

Vivian gave Sebastian a polite smile and tilted her head. "Why, nothing of the sort crossed my mind. I was simply following my lady's orders. I hadn't a clue who Ciel was until I saw him then well...there is o mistaking the similarities between them." She said, looking over at the twins.

"I-I thought y-you were dead t-too." Celia whispered, gazing at her brother with a happy expression.
