Tongue Twisters

By: Theressa

Prologue

Ciel was sitting in his office, waiting for Sebastian to come in with his afternoon snack. He had finished his paper work about half an hour ago and was reading a book that Undertaker gave him the last time he visited. At first, Ciel really did not trust the book, but then when he saw the name of the book, Ciel became interested in it.

Knock, knock.

Ciel placed a bookmark inside the book and closed it before saying, "Come in."

Sebastian, Ciel's demonic butler, came in with a cart, containing Ciel's afternoon snack and tea. However, when Ciel saw his butler walk in with his usual sly smile, the boy grew irritated and said, noting, "You're late, but you still smile? Do you find this funny, Sebastian?"

"No, young master. Please, forgive me. There was another accident made by the servants so I had to take care of it before anything in the manor was destroyed." Sebastian bowed, apologizing for his tardiness.

Ciel made a small "hmph" sound before excusing the butler's apology. Then, Ciel had an idea for the perfect punishment. "Sebastian, I have a game I want you to play. I can't do it and it made me think that if I had trouble with it, then maybe you would too."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Oh? What kind of game did you have in mind, young master?"

Ciel smirked and placed the book that he was reading earlier on his desk table. "Tongue Twisters are what they are called."

"P-pardon me, but did I hear you correctly?" Tongue Twister? Is that some type of sexual game involving the tongue? was all Sebastian thought. What are the people of today's time thinking? Why would the human race invent such games?

"You did, Sebastian. People describe it as 'a word or group of words difficult to pronounce rapidly, usually because of a succession of similar consonantal sounds'. It's actually quite popular with every one of all ages, however, I find it quiet annoying. I can't seem to win and as Ciel Phantomhive, I have never lost a game before." Ciel explained, noticing that Sebastian had a different idea of the game.

"Oh . . .?" How disappointing is that? It's just a saying of words type of game. Sebastian mentally pouted, but then he quickly recovered from the disappointment. "Is that so? Then why do you want me to play it?"

"I want to see you loose." Simply replied Ciel with a smirk.

". . ." Sebastian said nothing at this. It was typical for Ciel to find something for Sebastian to do in hopes that the butler would fail to do, making Ciel victorious for finding the demon's weakness.

"What is it?" Ciel asked.

Sebastian sighed. "Fine, I will play," agreed Sebastian, then he continued talking, "but I want a reward if I win."

Ciel was even more interested. "Very well, I agree, but if I win . . ." Ciel thought of something that his butler always bothered him about. "You must never again ask if you can bring a cat into my mansion and you must get rid of all the cats you are hiding in my house."

Sebastian was now even more determined not to loose for the cats he has been hiding were on the line. "Deal," and with that said, Sebastian and Ciel shook hands, sealing the deal.

This is going to be a quick and innocent chapter story.

Four chapters total, just to let you know.

By the way, it isn't actually going to be very innocent! XD

Please, review!
