Here's the fourth chapter. Last time, Sebastian took Ciel to breakfast where he meet Bardroy. After finishing his breakfast, Ciel cleaned up after himself, which didn't make Sebastian happy at all. In the end, they decided to have a tour around the mansion to help Ciel recover his memory. Will it work? Please enjoy. ^-^

Chapter 4

"And this is your study room, young master. This is where you do most of your business work," Sebastian said as he guided the boy through the room known as the study room.

Ciel examined the small room and walked over to the desk placed at the far end right in the center. He ran his hands over the smooth wood it was made from. He then walked over to the big chair placed next to the desk and sat.

"Ah yes. This feels all so familiar. This chair and this desk. I think a bit is coming back to me," Ciel said.

"I'm glad to hear it, my lord," Sebastian said. He was a bit glad, however, he knew it wasn't enough to satisfy him.

Ciel leaned against the chair. "So, you said I do business work here. What kind?"

"Sir, you are the owner of the Phantomhive toy company. Your company is widely spread throughout the world, and you make great profit out from it."

"You don't say? My, how old am I again?"

"Thirteen."

"And I already have to take care of a company? My, I must be a very mature boy, taking such a task most adults do on their own. Impressive."

Just then, the door knocked a couple of times before Sebastian grabbed a hold of it and opened it to reveal a distressed Mey-Rin.

"Sebastian, there you are," she said.

"What are you doing here, Mey-Rin?" Sebastian said, trying to keep her behind the door for the master not to see.

"Well, you told me to clean some sheets but you never gave them to me."

Sebastian sighed. "You're right. The bed sheets are in master's room."

"Thank you, Se-"

"Sebastian, who's at the door?"

The two servants turned around to the boy who raised an eyebrow to them. Ciel suddenly noticed the scarlet haired girl and curiosity took over.

"Hello there, miss," Ciel said.

Mey-Rin bowed. "Hello, young master."

"Are you another servant of mine?"

"Yes, master. I didn't mean to bother you, sir, but I only needed to know something from Sebastian."

"It's quite alright, uh...pardon me, but what is your name?"

Mey-Rin hesitated until she remembered that her master was in his amnesia trance. "Mey-Rin, master."

"Ah Mey-Rin. Yes. Well, talk with Sebastian as much as you like. I do not mind."

Mey-Rin and Sebastian looked at each other for a while before turning back to Ciel. The young master wouldn't had wanted for anyone to be slacking on the job, but here he was telling Mey-Rin she could take all her time talking with Sebastian even if it was about anything. The young master really has changed.

"I am done talking with him, master. I will make my leave now," Mey-Rin said as she bowed and walked away.

Sebastian closed the door behind her and turned back to Ciel. "She only asked for the sheets that needed to be cleaned for today, young master. Nothing really important."

"Not important? Oh poor girl. I got some sheets dirty, and she is the one to be cleaning them. How awful of me. Now if only I know how to wash sheets, I would've done it myself. I feel so sorry for her," Ciel said as he stood up from the chair and walked over to the window just behind the chair.

Sebastian frowned. "You don't need to be much concerned about her. She is merely doing her job."

Ciel sighed and placed his hands behind his back and stood in the same position he always stood whenever he would stare out that exact same window.

"Either way, I still feel really awful for letting all of you do simple chores that I can handle myself," Ciel said.

Sebastian growled. "Young master, you are insulting us."

Ciel turned over to Sebastian. "Huh?"

"It is what us servants do for a living. We do any chore given to us. It is our jobs since we were hired in the first place."

Ciel frowned and turned back to the window. "I suppose you're right. I'll just have to get myself adjusted to this way of living. I mean, I have lived here for at least thirteen years. I must be okay with all this. I am sorry, Sebastian. I didn't mean to insult anyone."

Sebastian frowned. "It's alright, young master." It was rare for Ciel to ever apologize about anything.

"Well, Sebastian, is there any other room I have to visit?"

"We've been through the entire mansion, sir."

"Hmm..." Ciel continued looking out the window and noticed a large flower garden made of beautiful white roses. The white, delicate petals were blown away as the wind took them for a journey. "Sebastian, I did not know I had a flower garden with such beautiful flowers. Would you mind taking me there, so I can have a better look at them?"

The butler raised a hand to his chest and bowed his head. "Of course, my lord."
Sebastian had no choice but to continue following orders of his new master before him. He surely wished the old one would come back. In the meantime, he'll have to deal with the replacement.

"This is a marvelous garden. Such beauty," Ciel said as he strolled among the white roses and gently touched each one as he passed by. "These roses are really beautiful."

"They are your favorite, my lord. We all try our best to take care of them for you, Sebastian said.

"All of you are doing a good job. Thank you."

Just then, Ciel noticed someone hidden among the field of roses. He couldn't really see clearly who it was and walked closed to the person. Sebastian loyally followed behind, wondering where the master was going.

Both of them reached the person hidden who happened to be Finny pulling out weeds as usual. He stood up from pulling a tough weed and turned towards the two staring at him.

"Oi!" Finny jumped a bit. "Since when were you guys here?"

"Sorry, sir. Did we startled you?" Ciel said. "We didn't mean to. I was just wondering who was hiding in the rose bushes."

Finny raised an eyebrow and looked to Sebastian who gave him a blank face, making the gardener remember everything that was discussed earlier.

"It's okay, master," Finny said as he rubbed the back of his head. "I was just doing my job."

"Hmm? So you mean to tell me you are the gardener?" Ciel said.

"Yes, sir. I am Finny the gardener."

"Finny the gardener." Ciel smiled. "It has a ring to it."

Finny smiled until he got a threatening look from Sebastian which erased the smile completely.

It wasn't that Sebastian didn't want Finny to smile, it just didn't feel right to make the boy who wouldn't smile for anything to smile out of nowhere. It might be so wrong, but Sebastian couldn't stand seeing his master's mouth corners be turned upside into a smile. Especially not smiling about nothing special in particular.

"Uh, well, sir, I have more weeds to pull. I don't want to keep your garden a horrible mess," Finny said as he bowed and hurried away.

"So I see. I have a chef, a maid, a gardener," Ciel turned to Sebastian. "And a butler. Do I have any more I need to meet?"

"There is another butler around, however, he might not be in the slightest mood to be meeting you anytime soon, young master," Sebastian said, referring to Tanaka who must be somewhere drinking his tea.

"Another butler? My, aren't I handle well? Well, whenever he feels like meeting me, I am ready anytime. I do want to recover my memories about each of my loyal servants." Ciel stopped and frowned, causing Sebastian to look at him with hopeful eyes. Maybe he remembered something?

"Is there something wrong, young master?" Sebastian said.

"Well, I-" Ciel stopped himself yet again and shook his head. "It's nothing."

"Master, if there's anything that's making you feel uncomfortable, you know you can tell me about it."

"It's nothing, Sebastian. Don't worry about me."

"Are you su-"

"Young master!"

Just then, Mey-Rin rushed over to the two men in a hurry. They both turned to her.

"What is it, Mey-Rin?" Sebastian said.

"The young master has a visitor," she said.

Sebastian frowned. "I thought I cancelled everything for today."

"Say what, Sebastian?" Ciel said.

"Oh nothing, sir. Nothing of your concern. Mey-Rin, please tell them that the master is feeling sick and no one should be coming along to visit him."

Mey-Rin frowned. "But she won't leave."

Sebastian hesitated. "She?"

"It's the lady Elizabeth."

Sebastian growled. Great. Another nuisance he has to take care of.

Ciel raised an eyebrow, not knowing what was being discussed before him. It would be rude of him to speak up if he wasn't involved in this. If this was not a conversation he needed to listen or even be in, he would just ignored and be quiet. Although, he was interested in wondering who this lady Elizabeth was.

"Have you not tried to convince her in the least to leave?" Sebastian said to Mey-Rin.

"Yes, but you know how she is. She won't leave until she sees the young master," Mey-Rin said. "I've told her that he was sick and he wouldn't want her to get contagious but that only made her more eager to stay, yes it did."

Sebastian sighed in frustration. "I guess I'll go handle her myself." He turned to Ciel. "My lord, would you mind if I took you to-"

But he got interrupted by Ciel getting tackled and almost fell to the ground.

"Young master!" he called out in worry but then frowned once he saw what happened.

"Oh Ciel! I was so worried about you! They told me you were sick and should leave, but I just had to come and see how you were doing," the girl all over Ciel said. She was the lady Elizabeth.

Ciel blinked in confusion as he looked at the girl hugging him ever so tightly. Who was she?

"Uh...miss, you are holding me too tightly," he said.

Elizabeth immediately let go and bowed in apology. "I'm so sorry, Ciel. I forgot you were sick." She placed her delicate hand on the boy's forehead. "How badly sick are you, darling?"

Ciel looked at Sebastian for help. He didn't who was this girl all over him and he was feeling a bit uncomfortable, yet as his eyes focused on the girl's emerald eyes, a strange, warm feeling wrapped him around like a blanket.

"My lady, please do understand that the young master is not feeling well. He fell down the stairs yesterday, and his head is injured. He needs rest," Sebastian said.

"But then why is he outside?" Elizabeth said.

"Because he needs the fresh air."

"Well," Elizabeth hugged Ciel once more. "I believe he needs to sit down and have a drink of tea while I join him in company. Don't you agree, Ciel?"

"Well..." Ciel wasn't really sure if to take the girl's request or not. However, the gleam inside the girl's gorgeous eyes made that decision for him. "Sebastian, make us some tea if you don't mind."

Sebastian bowed. "Yes, young master, I'll-" but he suddenly cut himself once he realized what the boy told him. "Come again?"

"Sebastian, I would like to have some time with her for a while. Please?" Ciel said without looking directly to his butler. He was mesmerized by the girl's graze and beauty that he just had to get to know her more. It was love at first sight.

Sebastian hesitated and could not come up with words to say. His young master would never agree to have the annoying girl stay over for at least a visit and now here he is asking for some time with her. The butler definitely did not like this at all, but he could not go against his master's orders even if they sound ludicrous to him. He would simply bow and say:

"Yes, my lord."

And that was that. Sebastian had finished given Ciel a tour of his mansion where he met Mey-Rin and Finny. Everyone still don't feel very comfortable around the new Ciel, well, mostly Sebastian. And then a visitor arrives, only to be Elizabeth. Ciel asks for some time with her which startles Sebastian. Oh my.

Tune in for more and please review. Thank you. ^-^
