I am well aware on the mix feeling of Gender Benders. Well the #1 rule to fanfiction is Don't like don't read. Male Kagome. FemCiel. Everyone else is their original genders.

~Chapter 1~

Prologue

Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford had wandered off from one of her care takers she was suppose to stay with. Being only seven she got lost in the town of London.

She sat against a brick wall in a shaded alley. Her knees to her chest as tears began to run down her cheeks.

Minutes later she heard someone walk towards her. Lizzy looked up to see a boy a year or two older than herself. He had ice blue eyes and black hair. His expression was between happy and concerned. He kneeled down to her level and gently wiped away her tears with his warm hands.

"Are you lost?"

Admiration and hope filled her eyes. He was so nice. "Y-yes..." Elizabeth sniffed.

"What's your name?"

She held back her tears and sniffed again. "E-Elizabeth."

He offered her one of his hands by extending it towards her. "I'll help you find your way home."

Lizzy continued to stare into his eyes. It wasn't rare to find blue eyes in England. It was actually quite common. However, she was entranced by all the emotions that lingered in them. She couldn't distinguish them because there were so many.

They began to walk. "My name is Kagome by the way."

"Kagome..." Elizabeth pronounced his name slowly. It sounded foreign. "It's probably strange isn't it? My mother has a thing for foreign things especially names, so I got a Japanese name in the process."

"It's not strange," blurted Elizabeth. She just wanted to comfort him yet she sounded so serious. He stopped in his tracks staring at Elizabeth who also stopped because she was still holding his hand. All of the sudden Kagome bursted out in laughter. Lizzy got all flustered.

"You're cute," stated Kagome which made her blush deepen further.

They started to walk further in directions Lizzy thought looked familiar to get home. The gentle wind breeze blew towards them. Elizabeth was looking up at Kagome at the time. She blushed as she though, "Just like a prince... my prince."

They finally arrived to a large mansion just a bit out of town. "This is your home?" He shouldn't have been surprised. By the quality of her clothes it was easy to tell she was a noble. However, Kagome recognized the house. He also recognized two out of three figures who were just leaving the estate. Though he could guess who the third was.

"Mr. Midford. Ms. Midford and you must be Edward Midford."

Lizzy was about to run to her parents and brother until she heard his declaration. He knew her family?

Looking back down at Elizabeth with a smile he declared, "Then you're the youngest Midford. Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford."

"Elizabeth?" Her family was about to go searching for her. The hired help had returned and stated that she ran off but could not be found.

Her father, Alexis, was the first to take notice of the boy next to her, however, they were already acquainted. "Kagome Hastings."

Ignoring the fact that her parents somehow new the princely cute boy next to her she ran to her family declaring, "Kagome found me and brought me home! He's really nice."

"I'm afraid I must be on my way. The pleasantries have been fun Elizabeth, but I must return home. Father continues to wait for my arrival."

Elizabeth took notice that he already seemed formal even with his young age, but he didn't act like that until in the presence of her family.

"We'll see each other again right," yelled Lizzy running back over to him much to her brother's dislike.

Kagome was taller being a year and a half older than her. He looked down into her green eyes with his blue ones. He patted the top of her head and smiled. "Of course we will."

Alexis stated, "Give Alastor my greetings."

"As you wish," replied Kagome as he travelled father into the distance.

Another day another adventure. Kagome got into a carriage. He told his driver, "To the Phantomhive Estate."

At arrival, the door was opened up for him. With a thank you he made his way to the mansion.

When the front door opened Kagome was greeted by Tanaka before he saw the six year old Ciel run down the stairs and embraced him around the chest. Being two and a half years older didn't matter to Kagome. Ciel was still Ciel no matter what. He hugged her back as he looked down into her large curious eyes of wonderment. So innocent.

He would sometimes wonder when Rachel and Vincent would tell Ciel of their arrange marriage. They were technically already fiancés, but he wouldn't say anything until her parents told her.

"Kagome you're here! Great timing. I was getting bored." Ciel lead Kagome to the back yard where the rest of the family currently was. Even her aunt, Madam Red, was there.

Kagome nodded her head slightly to the three adults. "Madam Red, Lord Phantomhive, Lady Phantomhive."

Rachel insisted he be less formal to which he immediately agreed. He didn't particularly like being formal, but for his father he would.

"So what would you like to play today Ciel?"

Ciel had a cute thinking face. She finally answered, "Hide and Seek."

Kagome smiled gently as he continued to stare at Ciel. "Of course. In that case you go hide while I count."

"Okay!" Ciel was filled with energy. "No peeking!"

Kagome began to count.

Lizzy was very excited. She was going to see her slightly younger cousin Ciel. Then she could tell her all about her prince.

Kagome searched for Ciel. He already knew where she was. It wasn't difficult, but he would give her a chance.

"I wonder where Ciel could be." Kagome heard her giggles. "Hmm... There you are." Ciel came out from a bush. "You have leaves throughout your hair now." Ciel sat on the ground while Kagome was on his knees picking the leaves out of her hair. "There you go." He placed a kiss on the top of her head.

Lizzy wandered out back to see Ciel... and Kagome! She was excited to see him again. She had forgotten to thank him for taking her home. She was about to call out to him when she saw him kiss Ciel on the head. Without warning tears spilt from her eyes. Why?

Yes the beginning of yet another Gender Bender story! Hehe What will happen next? Only I know. Bhahahaha *cough cough* yeah not doing that again.\
