'Ciel' stood frozen in shock, staring at Joker, who smiled brightly at him while pulling him into a warm, loving hug, like they were long lost brothers that haven't seen each other for many many years. A gesture 'Ciel' didn't expect and didn't know what to do. The last time he saw Joker was before he died after hearing the sad truth, a truth that could eat anybody alive inside out. And here he was, alive and well, none trace of being dead or near death at all.

" Smile." Mumbled Joker against 'Ciel's' shoulder, while 'Ciel' felt something wet on his shoulder. " Am so happy, Smile."

" How..you..why?." Questions were building up in 'Ciel's' head, and his eyes turned to his sister, who stood at the edges of the stone stairs to the replica mansion, glancing at him with a gentle look. He waited for her to say something, anything that could explain how this was possible.

But she only closed her eyes like she was telling him to wait, before walking into the mansion without saying a single word.

After what felt like hours, Joker finally let go of ' Ciel' smiling brighter than before, with red shot eyes after crying.

"I am so happy you're finally here." His skeleton hand grabbed hold of 'Ciel's.' " We were worried that something bad happened to you." His eyes turned to Sebastian." Black."

Sebastian stared at Joker with narrow eyes, before elegantly bowing to Joker, like he was noble to respect. While the other servants looked confused over who Joker was, for the fact they had never met him.

" Sebastian, who is that man?." Asked Finnian with a low voice, his eyes glancing at Joker's skeleton hand. " What's with his.."

" Finnian is rude to stare." Said Sebastian, making Finnian jump.

" Oh, I..I didn't mean... Am Sorry!." Finnian bowed multiple times at Joker, his face slightly red for embarrassment.

" Can we trust this guy?." Asked Baldroy, glaring at Joker with hard eyes, while lighting a new cigarette. " Who is he anyway?."

" He's our family, says Oscar." Snake said with tears running down his face while walking over to Joker. " You were here all this time?, says Emily." The snakes around his naked began to hiss, while his face becomes hard. But before he could say anything, Joker stood up, looking right into Snake's eyes with a serious face.

" Smile, told you the truth about the dark crime we did, well the light version."

" So it's true?. You kidnapped children!." Snakes face hardened the moment he screamed, surprising everybody around with the sudden high voice he never showed before, that sounded like it belonged to somebody else.

Joker stared at him for a long time with a sad look with a mix of regret and pain. Before taking a deep breath like he was trying to give himself the strength to talk.

" Yes, it's true."

Silence.

The moment those words left Joker's mouth was like somebody pressed a button, and all the sound was gone, nobody said a word, not even ' Ciel' said anything. The only thing everybody could do was staring at Snake who glared with such a look it scared everybody, even Sebastian looked bewildered by the sudden changes that he took a few steps aside to get some distance.

" Why?." Asked Snake with a shaky voice after a long while. " Why?."

Joker opens his mouth, but no sound came out.

" They were tricked."

Everybody's eyes turned to the mansion was the clear voice came from, to see ' Ciel's' sister standing there with a calm look while walking over to them. Snake glared at her while his chest was going up and down like he was breathing heavily.

" Tricked?." He asked with a low voice.

She gave a small nod while putting her hand gently on Joker's shoulder.

" I can not tell the whole story, but I only request that you wait a little longer for that story. Right now, let's go to the office and let me tell you about the situation you are in right now. Is that alright?."

Her calm eyes looked into Snakes furious one after a while, Snake took a deep breath and collected himself.

" Only if Joker tells me the whole truth later."

'Ciel's sister turned to Joker, who nodded in agreement.

After that, 'Ciel's' sister motion them to follow her into the mansion, and ' Ciel' couldn't hide his confusion when the walked in, seeing the exact inside of the real mansion he was a while ago. The only difference in this one was the hundred butlers and maidens that waited for them the moment they walked in, something the real one didn't have.

" Hm, interesting. " 'Ciel' heard Sebastian mumble to himself, seeing him staring at the servents with narrow eyes while they walked past them.

" What's so interesting?." Asked ' Ciel' in curiosity.

Sebastian lowers his voice so only ' Ciel' could hear.

" Those servants aren't humans."

'Ciel's' eyes widen while he glanced at the servants who stood with no emotion while they walked past them. He couldn't see any sign that they were something else than humans. They all looked like normal people that would easily walk on the street in London.

" As expected, you have sharp eyes." His sister glanced at Sebastian with narrow eyes over her shoulder before one of the butlers opened the door to let them into one of the rooms.

" As a servant to my master, things like this is a request from a servant like me." Said Sebastian with his famous mysterious smile. " I am one hell of a servant."

" Charming." Said 'Ciel's ' sister with a boring tone, not showing any interest over Sebastian's famous smile, while Mey-Rin was blushing like crazy. 'Ciel' smirked at Sebastian, who stood frozen in place, looking confused and surprise over the non-reaction he got from 'Ciel's' sister.

" You better keep that charm to later, because right now you all are in a very sticky situation."

" That just the light version. " Said 'Ciel' with a heavy sigh, as he saw his sister sitting down behind the desk, with Joker standing beside her with his arms behind his back. If he didn't have the servants behind him, he would gladly run over to her and sit on her lap, as he did back in the day. But he held himself back, even if his body was screaming for the warmth from his sister, he didn't want to show another childish side of him to Sebastian, who he could feel was staring at him. " It wouldn't surprise me if the police are searching for us in London."

His sister looked at him with a calm look, that somehow made him forget for a second how bad his situation was, and felt himself relax.

" As long as you are here, they won't lay a finger on you. But the situation is much worse than you think, not only is it messing up your life, it's also messing up the order of the world."

" You said it before we came here that undertaker broke rules that created terrible consequences, in both this world and yours. Would you explain what rules he broke?." 'Ciel' asked while sitting down in one of the chairs in front of the desk, feeling a bit weird to sit on the other side of it.

His sister was quiet for a long while until he saw her eyes turned to the three servants.

" How much do they know of the supernatural world?."

'Ciel' glanced at the servants. Who stood behind him with looks of confusion and curiosity, they wanted to hear. If they believed what she had to say, he didn't know. But they didn't know much about the supernatural world, something he wonders if it was the right idea or not.

" Not much am afraid, but I insist they stay."

" Alright." His sister clapped her hands together. " How about a little story?. " Her face turned serious. " To get a better understanding of everything."
