SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL: Cheat Codes of the Universe

SUMMARY: Claude, Hannah and Sebastian thought that taking jobs as body guards to three overly privileged children would be easy. However, their is far more to this job than they ever realized especially when they find themselves running from gunman, dealing with supernatural conspiracies, and having to save those kids from damn near every threat imaginable both of this world and not...

INTRO
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

Their taxi pulled up outside an extremely large manor at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Sebastian got out and whistled, "Shit, these kids must be loaded."

"Well, who else could hire personal body guards for their children?" Hannah asked stepping out after him.

Without a word Claude walked over hitting the intercom to ring for the people inside to open the gate out front. The first thing they could see (aside from the large and old fashioned house that is) was a large fountain out-front which featured three Monkey's all sitting together. However, it was very morbid. One had water dripping from it's ears, another had water cascading out it's eyes, and the last had water pouring from it's mouth.

"Eugh," Hannah said as soon as it buzzed to let them in and she got a better view of it. "You think they would choose better sculptures, being as rich as they are..."

"Yeah no kidding," Sebastian frowned.

"We're not here to judge their artwork, we're here to get jobs," Claude explained. "Now hurry up before they think we're gawking."

A red haired maid with large glasses opened the door and she curtsied them in. "Hello Sirs and Madame," she said smiling. "May I take your coats?"

"You know you're someplace fancy when they take your coat at the door," Sebastian said as he removed his.

"Welcome to the Zaru manor," the woman said smiling. "The esteemed Phantomhive and Transy manors combined to form this estate some years back, and they have been collaborative partners ever since. The heads of the house will be down to see you soon. If you would like to wait in the lounge I'll bring you some tea I will."

She motioned in the direction of where they were supposed to wait, so the three of them took seats in a small plush room that would not have been out of places in a Sherlock Holmes novel, or maybe even in a Dracula book.

They sat quietly for a bit. The three of them taking in the old fashioned decor when they suddenly heard an eerie sound. Tonk. Tonk. Tonk. Tonk... ... Tonk...

The noise had no rhythm or pattern and that made it even creepier...

"What do you—" Hannah began but Claude raised a hand to silence her.

Then a scrapping sound was heard. Like when you run metal against stone. It was a pair of double doors that led to the lounge. While one was open the other remained closed, and it was was after the next Thunk that the closed door to the lounge shook very slightly. More scraping and another thunk. More scraping and a fancy walking cane appeared in view, then a hand reaching around the door and a body followed. A small child without a head had come around. Only it wasn't like he really didn't have a head, he was wearing a tuxedo top hat that was so big for him the brim of it rested on his shoulders. The three of them watched the child, their heads slowly turning to follow him as he made his way around the room until he was almost straight across from where he had come in at. There was a large old fashioned Desk. The boy was so small that when he walked behind it you could only see the top of the hat bobbing around.

They heard a drawer creek open, a shuffling of the contents inside, and then they heard it close again. The boy tapped the cane around the desk until he was in front of it now. He seemed to be holding a yo yo. Which he began to fiddle with until it wound up. Then hooked the loop onto his finger and let it drop. It tapped the carpet and bounced up again. Then it tapped the carpet and bounced up again. Then it tapped the carpet and bounced up again. Then it tapped...

Sebastian turned to the others wondering if they should say something, when two men came around the corner. One rather older and large. The other still fairly young yet, tall and lanky, but fit.

"Luca," the tall man said softly smiling. The boy flinched. The yo yo unraveled onto the ground and laid still, the coils of rope lying defeated next to it. "I believe I took that away from you yesterday..."

"And just what are you wearing that for," the large man asked hurrying over he grabbed the top hat making the boy jump worse than before. When he removed the top hat they noticed the child was wearing a blindfold.

The boy had redish brown hair and brown eyes and even though they couldn't see his eyes, it was evident he was about to cry. "You know better than to touch my things!" the man snapped. "Mey-Rin!"

The red haired maid came hurrying in carrying the trey of tea she had promised. But upon being called she had hurried too quickly and tripped spilling it everywhere.

"Ugh, foolish woman," the large man snapped. While his voice before had been cold, now (in addition) it seemed to be filled with an intense disgust.

"I'm sorry Lord Trancy," Mey-Rin said fixing her glasses. "I'll remake it and clean this up right away!"

"Forget that!" Trancy barked. "Take the boy back upstairs."

"Yes Sir!" she nodded rushing over she picked up the child and hurried from the room with him.

"I apologize sincerely for that," the tall man said intertwining his fingers and placing his chin upon them.

"No..." Hannah said. "Don't worry about it..."

Lord Trancy sat down in a plush chair beside the desk. He was rather heavy and this showed even more when he sat down the buttons on his vest seemed dangerously close to popping off.

"Well, let's get down to business. I am Vincent Phantomhive, this is my associate who prefers to simply be known as Lord Trancy. We are the heads of this estate. We live here along with our children and the handful of servants that we possess. Basically, we are in need of body guards for our children. Lord Trancy and I are not able to be here as much as we would like, and it has become rather necessary in recent months to ensure that our children are safe in our absence. Basically, you will each be issued a gun and will be charged with protecting our children. This is a full time job, both day and night. You will have to live here. However you will be given some times off at your request, please clear this with us at least three days in advance so that we can find other body guard arrangements. You will be paid at the end of every month with a wage of two hundred dollars a day. You will work for a year and at the end of that year you'll decide if you wish to renew your contracts with us or not. So how about it?"

The information had been delivered to them rather quickly and they all looked at one another contemplating.

"Um, how many children exactly?" Hannah asked.

"Three, though each of you will be specifically in charge of one. Though we ask if the need arises you protect them all," he explained. "I realize this is a highly unusual job, and I can give you twenty-four hours to think it over, in that time you are welcome to stay here as our guests."

"That would be great," Sebastian said, he did want time to think it over. He hadn't realized that he would actually have to live here. He thought he would just be escorting these kids places...

"Great, well. You should probably meet the children properly before dinner," Mr. Phantomhive said smiling. "Please follow me, the boys are probably in the library, they love to play chess."

He escorted them out of the room but stopped at the stairs. "Miss Hannah," he said turning to her, and she was a bit surprised that he knew her name. They hadn't discussed her first name over the phone, and had conversed only using Sir names. "The boy you saw earlier, his name is Luca. He is Lord Transy's youngest son, and I believe Mey-Rin took him upstairs to his room. His is the third door on the right. You may go see him now."

"Alright," she said heading upstairs.

"Claude, Sebastian, follow me please," Vincent said continuing the walk on the first floor they went down a corridor and soon entered a rather grand library. Upon turning a corner in this library they saw two boys sitting exactly where Vincent thought they would be. Both in plush chairs before a chessboard.

Vincent walked over to them, and the blond looked up seeing them coming. He tapped the chess board to call the other boy's attention. Without introduction Sebastian could already tell whose kid was whose as these children had inherited their father's hair colors.

"Boys, this Mr. Michaelis and Mr. Faustus. They may be working for us soon. So do be nice to them," he turned to back to them. "This is my son Ciel Phantomhive, and this is Lord Trancy's eldest Alois Trancy. Claude, you'll be looking after Alois, Sebastian, you'll be looking after Ciel. I'll leave you to get acquainted."

With that Vincent left. Claude and Sebastian stood there awkwardly for a moment, the boys had returned to their game without so much as a word to them.

"Um..." Claude said after a few minutes. Though neither responded.

"We should just wait until their game is done," Sebastian said frowning. "Clearly that's more important..."

Ciel check mated Alois' king within' two moves after then and Alois frowned glaring at him. Ciel suddenly started moving his hands in intricate motions rather rapidly, and Alois responded the same way.

"Oh shit," Sebastian said turning to Claude. "Their deaf... that would have been something nice to know ahead of time."

Claude frowned at him. It was at this point that Alois looked at them. "Hello," he said smiling speaking rather low and slightly slurred. "Sorry about that, Ciel hates leaving games undone. Do you want to go talk somewhere?"

"Uh..." Sebastian frowned. He guessed he was wrong after all...

"I'm to speak with you," Alois said inclining his head towards Claude who nodded. Smiling Alois got up.

"Sebastian, you can sit here," Alois said indicating the chair he just got up from.

Sebastian sat down and Alois and Claude walked off talking.

"Um... sorry. I thought you were deaf earlier because you two were signing," Sebastian said feeling a bit embarrassed.

Ciel opened a drawer on the side of the chess board and pushed the remaining pieces into it. Then from his inside pocket he pulled out a pad of paper and a pen. He wrote on it and placed it in front of him. It read: I'm not deaf. I'm mute.

Sebastian read the words and then looked up at him. Ciel was looking rather bored with him already.

"Oh... " Sebastian said frowning. What was he supposed to say? Sorry? He frowned.

Ciel took the notepad back wrote on it and set it down before him. What did you do for work before this?

"I worked in a bar," Sebastian said, and he paused. Wait... that was the truth. He had not intended to say that. In fact, he wanted to say that he had worked at a respectable company. Shit I have to watch myself, he thought. Why is the kid interviewing me anyway?

Ciel took the notebook back again. Have you worked for any members of nobility or anyone of high rank in society either here or over seas?

"Not that I'm aware of," Sebastian answered.

Are you now or have you ever worked for or with any enemies of the Phantomhive or Trancy estates?

"Never," he answered.

Ciel took the notebook back, wrote on it then left the page on the desk for him to read. He turned leaving his sight before Sebastian had finished reading the line: That's all I care about knowing. Hope you to see you soon.

Claude and Alois went out to the garden. "I like these here, aren't they pretty?" Alois asked.

"Yeah," Claude said not entirely sure what the flowers had to do with anything, Alois staring at him with such big light blue eyes was making him feel awkward. He didn't like looking people directly in the eyes when speaking to them so he turned away staring instead at the flowers Alois had pointed out. "So, just what can I be expecting if I become your body guard? Do you three run into serious dangers often or—"

Alois placed a hand on Claude's shoulder making him turn towards him. "Sorry," Alois said. "I'm deaf, if you're not looking at me, then I can't hear you."

Alois added a smile as though the situation would seem less awkward if he did.

"If you're deaf you're not supposed to hear me at all," Claude answered frowning.

"I read lips, it's not an exact form of communication, but I'm fairly good at it," Alois explained sitting on a stone bench. "What did you think of my Father and Lord Phantomhive?"

You're Dad seems like an asshole, Claude thought immediately, but wasn't about to say that.

Alois suddenly snickered.

"What's so funny?" Claude asked being sure to look at him as he requested. So Alois could read his lips.

"Sorry, it's nothing. So what did you think?"

Claude eyed him. His eyes were so intense. They were this odd blue color. Not a bright blue like that other kid's, but a light one. It was almost like they could look right into him.

"Luca?" Hannah had said upon entering the room. The boy was playing with a stuffed animal.

"Who are you?" he asked without turning in her direction.

"Um, I might be your bodyguard soon," she said smiling sitting on the floor near him.

"Cool," Luca answered.

"Yeah, it is cool," Hannah answered. "Do you want the light on?"

It was pitch black in his room which was why Hannah had left the door open.

"It doesn't matter," Luca said. "I'm blind so it's always dark."

Hannah frowned looking at him while he made his stuffed toys hop around the floor, in near total darkness.

"You don't have to be worried," Luca said suddenly.

"Oh I'm not worried," Hannah said smiling.

Luca stopped playing with his toys, and even though he was blind and blindfolded he turned to face her. "Yes you are."

I may or may not keep this one around. I'm on edge as to if this will be fun enough/interesting enough to be continued. Review if you wanna read more. If enough people do I'll continue.
