(Y/N)'s P.O.V
After a couple of days Ciel said that Sebastian and I were going to go to his townhouse to investigate a recent killing. I already knew that we were in the "Jack the Ripper" episodes and Ciel was going to be wearing a dress. I was daydreaming of all the things I would say to tease Ciel, that I didn't notice that Sebastian opened the carriage door. I jumped out as usual when Ciel and Sebastian started to talk.
"I hate this. There are too many people in London." Ciel said with dismay as we walked up the stairs.
" There is no helping it, my lord.It's tradition for the nobility to migrate in masse to town from the country every Season." Sebastian said
" Migrate? You make it seem like they are birds. They're just wasting their time doing that" I said while chuckling.
"I agree it's a waste of time" Ciel responded.
" Getting away from the manor could prove a nice change of pace.It's a break from the four servants, at least...we could have had peace and quiet for a time, but with (Y/N) here I don't think it's possible" Sebastian said
"EHH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY TO ME DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!" I said as I pulled Sebastian's face down to my height.
"Well then (Y/N), I wouldn't be able to say anything at all" Sebastian said as he smirked and took my hands off his shirt.
"Some peace and quiet would be pleasing, but you are right Sebastian, it won't be possible" Ciel said. Just when I was about to say something back, Ciel stopped and we heard some commotion happening behind some doors. Sebastian opened the doors and we were met by a room that looked like it was hit by a tornado.
"Goodness sake! Where do they keep the tea in this house?"
" I can't find it either..."
"Don't be silly! Of course it's not in there. Oh!"
"Madam Red?! Lau?! What are you here?!" Ciel said with disbelief and a tint of anger in his voice.
"Ciel, you're early, dear. Oh (Y/N), you're here too? Why Ciel, why didn't you tell me my my dear (Y/N) would be here too?!" Madam Red said.
"It was a sudden decision, Sebastian, (Y/N), go fetch us some tea while I discuss the case" Ciel said .
" whAT? Why me, I thought I was gonna help solve the case" I said, but Ciel gave me the 'do-it-or-you're-out' look.

"Yes My Lord" Sebastian and I said in sync. I stomped out of the room with Sebastian at my heels. Then Sebastian started making the things and I just flopped on the table and stared at the ceiling. That's when I noticed that it was too quiet.
"Sebastian?" but I received no answer. I looked up and noticed that he wasn't in the kitchen anymore. "Fucking demon, doesn't even have the decency to tell me that we are done" I said while going back up. That's when Ciel and everyone else were coming down.
"Come along (Y/N), we are going to the visit the crime scene" Ciel said.
"FINALLY" I yelled as I ran to the carriage and hopped in.
~Time Skip~
We got out of the carriage and Ciel told me and Sebastian to follow him. We went up to that guy whose-name-i-forgot and he spoke.
"Sorry, my boy and girl. I'm afraid a crime scene like this is no place for a children. Now why don't you two just run along home?" The man whose-name-i-forgot said.
"We're here to see the victim's body." Ciel said with a poker face.
"The body?! Surely you're kidding me!" The man said but then a voice interrupted.
"Abberline!" an old man's voice said before looking at us,"Well, if it isn't Lord Phantomhive? What are you doing here?" the other man said.
Abberline! That's his name, I totally let that one slip,.
"You know this kid, sir?" Abberline questioned.
"We are here to help, Sir Arthur. Seems your investigation is dragging a bit. You know who sent me, of course." Ciel said before taking out the letter the Queen sent him. He grabbed the papers from that Arthur guy's hand and scanned it, "It seems you haven't found any major clues yet." he said with a smirk.
"We at Scotland Yard are more than capable of handling this case, I assure you.There's no need for you interfere."
"I mean if you were capable of handling this case, you would have at least by now had some suspects" I said with a taunting smile.
"Girl, know your place and do not speak" the Arthur guy said.
" Old man you should know your place" I said
"I know my place and that is above you" Arthur said.
"No it's six feet underground. I'm surprised you're even walking, you sure you are not a zombie?" I replied. Arthur was about to say something before Ciel cut in.
"Splendid. Shall we go, Sebastian and (Y/N)?"

"Yea" I said and we got in the carriage, but not before sticking my tongue out to Old Man Arthur.
"Now what, dear?" Madam Red said
"We go to someone who might prove useful" Ciel said.
"YESSS" I said bouncing up and down my seat, knowing who were going to meet next.
~Another timeskip brought to you by the lazy author~
"The Undertaker?" Madam Red questioned.
"If we're looking for answers, this is the place." Ciel said as we opened the door. When we got in it smelled literally like death. I wonder why???
"Welcome.I thought I'd be seeing you before long.My lord, it's so lovely to see you.," the Undertaker said but was nowhere to be seen until a coffin opened, "Do I finally have the pleasure of fitting you for one of me coffins today?" The Undertaker said before he glanced over and saw me, "Ahh we have someone new, now dearie what might your name be?"
"(Y/N)" I said while shaking his hand. I tried to get a peek at his eyes but he smirked and walked away.
"No, that isn't I am here... I wanted to--" Ciel said before he was interrupted.
"No need to say, I'm already aware. Very well aware.One of my recent customers was a bit unusual, shall we say.I helped though, I made her look beautiful again." Undertaker said with pride in his voice.
"I would like the details" Ciel said bluntly.
"Please, my lord, give it to me and I'll tell you anything(A/N that sounded dirty) !Give me the extraordinary gift of true laughter!Just one joke and all the information is yours!" the Undertaker begged and Lau interrupted. He thought he could make him laugh but it didn't work. Madam Red tried telling him gossip but that didn't work either.
Now, my lord, it looks like you're the only one left. Oh wait what about you dearie, lets see what you got." He said before he sat down and waited patiently. I gulped and stepped forward.
Come on (Y/N) think, something funny. Brain powers ACTIVATE. That didn't work oh whale, here goes nothing.
"A kid goes to a wedding and the grandma once said 'You're next' while poking him. One day the same kid goes to a funeral and tells the grandma 'you're next and laughs'"I said. I didn't hear anything so I thought that he didn't like it. I looked up and saw him trying to stifle his laughter and suddenly...
"BWAHHHHHAHAHAHAH. I GET IT HAHAHAHA" he laughed out. His laughing fit lasted for about 5 minutes till he calmed down and started to speak.
"An interesting pattern I'm seeing these days.I often get customers who are incomplete." Undertaker said
"Incomplete?" Ciel questioned. That's all I heard, after that I zoned out and wasn't paying attention. I stared at UNdertaker still trying to see his emerald eyes. I didn't notice that everyone left.
"(Y/N), dearie, it seems that you've been forgotten" Undertaker said
"HUH?. They left?!! Those idiots, oh hey, can I stay for a bit?" I asked
"Of course dearie, I always like some company. Do you want tea?"
"Oh u-uhm sure" I said before I continued, " Hey Undertaker, how is it living here, don't you get alone?" I said
"Hmm...well I suppose I do get lonely sometimes, but I think it is much more fun to observe people" he said and handed me the tea.
"Well if you get lonely.. I can hang out with you. I-I mean if you want to" I stuttered out.
"Hang out?" he questioned
"Oh yeah I forgot. That means I can come visit you and we can talk and stuff..." I trailed off
" You are welcome here anytime dearie" he said while twirling a piece of my hair. That's when someone opened the door.
"(Y/N), we are here to retrieve you, the carriage will be waiting outside" Sebastian said before heading back out.
"Well, see you soon Undertaker" I said while holding my hand out.
"See you soon dearie" he said while shaking my hand, " Don't worry your time travelling secret is safe with me" he whispered into my ear. My eyes widened but I smiled, I walked to the door but not before running back and lifting up the Undertaker's bangs and looking at his eyes. I ran out the door with a blush on my face and entered the carriage.
"It seems someone was getting cozy , we might as well just left you there" Ciel said with a smirk but there was also another emotion behind that. Jealousy? Nah.
"Shut up Ciel" I said but my red face didn't go away. The carriage started moving but I couldn't focus and Ciel's smirk was not helping.
At least I can get Ciel back when he wears that dress tonight
With that, I smiled the entire ride back to the house.
