アニーの遺産

I stared at Sebastian for a moment, cautiously watching as he frosted the cake he was making for Ciel. He was quite good at baking. Really good at it actually. Lin would be clinging to him the whole time... heh...

Thoughts about my crippled friend plagued my mind, and I resisted the urge to feel sad when thinking about her. Soon my mind wondered over to Ivan, my body guard. He was always so loyal... and always fidgeted over my unnatural sweet tooth. And having Sebastian as a partner, and Ciel as a master, waaasnt helping that.

I looked over at him again, seeing his concentration on the cake...

If you stare at it long enough it might bite you, Sebastian.

He gave a noticeable twitch at his eyebrow, and smiled pleasantly. "Miss Annie, you right now are staring at me..." he said, and I gave him a bewildered look, "You're not going to bite me are you?" I asked, and gave an audible chuckle.

"Perhaps not."

Perhaps?!

...

I met Ciel's eyes with a smile as I walked into the room. He gave me a nod, and looked back down. "For today's afternoon snack we have Angel Food Cake, with some Oolong Tea. I think you would find it to have a very pleasant scent my lord." I said politely as I set the plate and delicate cup in front if him. I looked over his shoulder at the paperwork he was doing, and raised a brow. Impressed at how he was doing. "Mmh, you're right Miss Annie. It is rather pleasant." He said. And nodded and was about to make my way to the door with the cart in tow when suddenly I was called again, "Wait. Before you leave, I have some questions for you..." he said, and I blinked underneath my blindfold. I saw that coming.

"Do you, Young Master?" I asked, and I backed away from the door, facing Ciel. He nodded, then motioned to the chair leaned against the wall. "Sit."

Woof.

'Be respectful'

I grinned at Sebastian's voice in my head. Could he see everything I was doing? I made myself comfortable in my new seat, then tilted my head at Ciel. "What is it you would like to talk with me about Young Master?" I asked and Ciel sipped his tea for a moment.

"For one, I am rather curious as to who and what you are... Sebastian already filled me in on some of it, but I would much rather like to hear what you have to say..." he said while cutting a piece of his cake with his fork. I watched as he ate it, and saw he bliss spread over his face for a quick moment. I smirked at that but quickly hid it.

"Hmm, well... I am a Feral Kasaii. To you humans, that usually puts me in the same place as demons, grim reapers... that sort of thing. But we are very, very different. Where I am from, humans are what we do not hear of. At all. However, reapers, and demons are common. Reapers more so. Because my race is self pronounced as all powerful, having gods among us is necessary for status. Even so, I am still starkly different from... my own kind." I said. Ciel raised a brow, and waited for me to continue. I sighed, and swallowed. This was going to be a long talk. "To them, I was known as Pholemogen. The same thing that Feral Kasaii stands for basically. The only difference is in the translation." I stated, and Ciel furrowed a brow. "Translation? 'Phoelmogen' is another language?" He asked, and I nodded. "Feral Kasaii was the only thing I found that humans could possibly understand. Phoelmogen is more so a label for me in Rosebund, my homeland, rather than on earth. Here, I needed to take two things that highlight Phoelmogen and put it together. Feral being widely understood as something dangerous. Which I can be. Feral is also a completely different side of me. Only blind rage is what I can achieve with feral. However, if I am strong enough to hold myself, I can use some of Feral's abilities to my benefit." I said, I ran a hand through my hair, and waited to continue...

"Kasaii, being a translation for flame, fire... that sort of thing. As a Phoelmogen, a trademark I had, was that my eyes would be aflame. Literally. Not figuratively at all. I would often need something over my eyes, so people won't look me straight into them. Now that I'm on earth, they only flame when I am angry. Kasaii being another part of me, which is usually my power. Therefore, Feral Kasaii, is my earth rendering for Phoelmogen." I finished, and Ciel nodded.

"Then what exactly is Phoelmogen? Are there more of your kind?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"I am the only one."

"How do you know?"

"Because they killed the other."

"There was one other?"

I paused, but then nodded. It was necessary, in a way, that he knew what I was capable of. Even if that meant a little story telling...
