Joker led the way to wherever he was going, with you and Sebastian just trailing behind him. Along the way, you saw a lot of circus performers and tents. You caught a few that made you wondered, they were blue quite smaller than any other ones.

Joker looked at you over his shoulder, "Married, are both of you?" You snapped your head at his sudden question, cheeks suddenly flaring red. "Wh-what?! Us?! N-no. We're not-" you were lost on words, putting up a nervous smile at his false assumption. Sebastian seemed not troubled by it, of course. He grinned at the thought instead. "You could say that." He said, earning a subtle punch to his arm from you. You pursed our lips, growling at him.

Joker chuckled, "I'm kidding, though you do look like lovebirds." He continued his path. "Right this way. Sorry, it's kinda filthy." Joker exclaimed, gesturing to the surroundings.

He came to a stop, "Ah, Snake! Is the doc in the medical tent?" waving his hand to Snake where he sat on the ground, his pets slithering around his neck. Now that you were closer, you noticed how he had some sort of snakeskin on his cheek.

Snake didn't reply, he stared at him wordlessly. "Oh, maybe he's making rounds," Joker said, he continued to walk.

Joker lifted a curtain to a tent, "Good, there he is! Doc! " he cheered to a man in a wheelchair. The doctor swivelled around, meeting Joker's eyes. Dagger, who was next to him, turned his head to you three.

"I got someone here who maybe need you," Joker reported, moving aside to show Sebastian behind him. Dagger was surprised and he stood up, pointing to Sebastian. "You're the one who got bitten by Betty!" He shrieked, which made the doctor's eyes widened in concern

"Betty?! That's terrible. We need to check you quickly!" Said the doctor. You shook your head at their actions, "This is wasting their time, poor guys." You whispered silently.

The doctor told Sebastian to come near him so he could check on where Betty had bitten him, oh the head. As the doctor check on Sebastian, Dagger and Joker moved back next to me. "Were you not worried about him when he was bitten?" Joker said, getting your attention. You hummed response before replying, "I'm used to it." You casually shrugged.

"Did you really get bitten by Betty? I don't see any wound..." The doctor said as he finished examining Sebastian's head. "Just an affectionate nip," Sebastian said with a smile as his face sparkled. The other three were confused at his calm attitude. "Well I'm glad you're alright." The doctor sighed in relief.

"Too true! I fear the troupe leader would kill me for letting a customer get hurt!" Joker said, walking closer to the doctor. You tilted your head at that, "Wait... I thought you were the leader?"

"I'm more or less a hired replacement. The real one is scary." He explained. Sebastian stood up, brushing his outfit. Your head turned to the entrance as it opened to reveal Beast coming in.

"Doc, would you take a look on my leg-" Beast said as she tapped on her leg. She froze as she saw Sebastian three beside you, though Dagger was very happy to see her.

"You're that dapper freak! What are you doing here?!" She yelled angrily, pointing to Sebastian. "You wrecked my show-"

"Beast! You can't talk like that to a guest."

"Now doc, please don't shout in front of our guests!" Joker tried to calm everyone down, motioning with his hands. "Yeah! Just check on her leg." Dagger popped up behind him.

You elbowed Sebastian silently, "This is all because of the fuss you made!" You half-yelled into his ear. "I thought you liked it." He replied. You threw your head back, letting out a small groan. "Just don't do any other shit."

The doctor sighed as Beast came closer to him, asking him to check on her leg, who now you noticed it was a prosthetic leg.

"Prosthesis?" You and Sebastian said in unison.

"We're a bit of an irregular bunch here. We're gathering a place for people with certain problems." Joker answered your question. You turned to him, eyes landing on his skeleton-looking hand. "Is what your hand is?" You asked as glancing at his hand.

"Yep. I lost my arm, but the doc got me this fine replacement." He nodded, tapping his fake hand. Sebastian approached the doctor as he examined his works, "Do you make a prosthesis for the circus, sir?"

"More or less. I do everything from carving to fitting." Said the doctor as he attached the leg to Beast, fixing her.

"Carving? Is it wooden?" You questioned. He turned to you, shaking his head slightly, "No, miss. I made these out of ceramics." He answered. He showed Beast's prosthesis to Sebastian next to him.

"I used special materials to keep them light and sturdy." He said. Sebastian examined her leg, touching it slowly. You narrowed your eyes at his action, finding it somehow troubling you.

"I see. They're quite smooth to touch." Said Sebastian as he observed it more. You cringed at how he reached his hand up to her thighs as Beast blushed at his touch. The audacity of him doing it in front of you.

"What's this seal?" Sebastian asked as he lifted her leg, spotting a small mark. Beast let out a little shriek, "What are you doing, you pervert?!" She raged up and tried to kick Sebastian but he dodges quick.

"Oh, I beg your pardon."

Beast pulled out her whip and took a swing to hit Sebastian. He dodged those smoothly. Dagger barged in and threw a few knives to Sebastian, he jumped up to the partition pole to avoid them. You hanged your head back, what did you say about not creating another fuss?

The doctor tried to stop Dagger from wrecking the tent but Dagger kept throwing more knives and Sebastian caught them all between his fingers, smiling in triumph.

"Don't get cocky!" Beast yelled as she swung her whip to Sebastian once again. You released a tired sigh, "So much for backing down," you worked on your quirks, jumping in front of her. You managed to catch the whip by grabbing the end of it and snatching it from her hand. She looked shocked as you whirled her whip, pulling it back to your hand.

"Please, that's enough playing with your props. Forgive him, he's a bit... Cocky," You apologised, rolling the whip and gave it back to Beast. She looked at you for a moment before taking back her whip. She kept staring at you, well... everyone did, still impressed or surprised by your actions.

"Alright, that's enough, Beast!" Joker stepped in.

You gave them your back as you turned your head up to Sebastian who was still on the partition. "You've created enough trouble, get down here!" You hissed at him, putting a hand to your hip as the other pointing a finger to the floor. He jumped down, requiring the blades to Dagger. He glanced at you as you gave him a cold shoulder. You could say you were jealous, but not just that, you were more... Rather disappointed.

"But he-"

"Now, now. It's such an awsome leg, I can understand why he'd want to touch it. Cheer up!" Joker calmed Beast, putting a hand to her shoulder. She pouted and stormed off as she walked away from the rest of you.

"That was mighty athletic, both of you!" Joker complemented both of you as he turned to us. "I'd reckon I hire you guys!"

"Oh, that wouldn't be--"

"Is that true?" Sebastian asked, cutting up your words. He stood way too close to Joker's face, which made him frightened and backed away.

"Truth to be held, our current Master is so spoiled. I'm quite disgusted with him, and she is too." Sebastian sighed. You let out a small laugh, knowing that was true. That made Sebastian turned to you, giving you a look.

"Ahem.. yes. I'm quite sick of him, too." You faked a cough, trying to cover up your laugh. Joker faced me then back to Sebastian.

"Master?... I assume you guys are servants then. I took you for the gentry, Dressed up so fine." Joker exclaimed. Sebastian placed his hand on his chest, denying the words.

"Me, gentry? Hardly. I'm simply one hell of a butler." Sebastian said, you rolled your eyes, lips turning upside down. You sighed, deciding to play on Sebastian's act, "Now, was that true? If so, we'd very much like to join you."

"Not having me on, aren't you?"

"I never jest," You casually replied. Joker chuckled and pat Sebastian's shoulder and yours. "Lord! That's funny. Alright. Sure, you can join us anytime!" He welcomed you. When suddenly, Beast and Dagger stepped in.

"Hey, Joker!" You can't just do that!" Beast remarked. "But they got such talent." Joker put his arms up in defence.

"Pardon me, there's actually another person I'd like to introduce you," said Sebastian, catching your attention. You tilted your head at his words, "We have?" He looked down at you, giving you another knowing look. You raised your brows, facing back to the circus actors. "Right, we have!"

"If he's anything like you, that's fine. But I reckon we'll have an entry test." Joker pleaded though the others were not on the same page as Joker.

"Very well, we'll come back tomorrow with him then." Said Sebastian. He bowed as he excused us. He left the tent first, you turned back to them, "Once again, please excuse all of his actions. You'll get used to it." You nervously smiled before finally taking your leave, following Sebastian behind.

After a long silence walk, you decide to break the silence. "You really think the master would agree with this idea of yours?"

"I'm sure he will be convinced."

You hummed in response, looking away from him. You thought about the way he touched the girl back there, it disturbed you. "Why the long faces?" Sebastian asked, looking down at you.

"You could've noticed I was there." You said as Sebastian chuckled in response, one which made your anger boiled up more.

You turned your head to him, "Oh, now you're laughing?"

"Am I sensing jealousy?" He teased. Oh, bold of him to assume you were playing around.

"It's not that! You touched her, without her consent!"

Now that made his smile drop. Your tone was rather sad and disappointed as he realized. You glued your gaze to the ground, stopping your tracks. His action towards the girl was rather offending you, considering you knew how it felt like, a lot more than she experienced. You felt bad for the girl, she was probably younger than you.

"I- I'm sorry, Y/n... I didn't know it offended you." Sebastian pleaded, reaching his hand up. You frowned, still not looking at him. "You know what I've been through. How could you do that? Did you not consider her feelings?!" If you said you weren't holding back a tear, you were lying. You hated that you were always emotional when it comes to your past. You wiped the bottom line of your eye before a tear could land. You knew how it felt like, to be touched without wanting it and to think that your lover was repeating it to another girl, the thought of it brought down you.

Sebastian didn't know what else to say, he knew you were right, and it was dumb for him not to realize that. "I'm sorry, Y/n. I needed to find more clues for-"

"What? For the case?" You snapped at him scrunching your nose. You dropped your hands to your side, sighing in frustration. "Yeah, sure go ahead."

You left him there without any other words. His eyes never left your figure as you fled, leaving him dumbfounded. He cursed himself for being an idiot and for not considering your feelings. He glanced at the circus tents and back at you, thinking about what should he say to get you back. He shook his head, walking off the area.

You gave Ciel a tired look as he kept ranting, "I'm asking you both, why is that suddenly the plan?!" He waved his hands in the air, entering the foyer of the townhouse. "Me? It wasn't my decision. It's your beloved butler there! You should see him back then." You grimaced, glancing at Ciel then to Sebastian, who looked at you rather sadly. Ciel looked at you for a brief moment before he took off his coat.

He looked at Sebastian behind him, catching your words. "When did I order you to say that?!"

"Does it inconvenience you, my lord?" Sebastian asked as Ciel threw his hat at him. "Tsk.... we'll argue about this later. I'm tired. I'm getting straight to bed." Ciel sighed, walking to the stairs. That was when a man barged in from the door beside him.

"Ciel!" The man said. He had a rather odd purple hair, tan skin and he looked Indian, judging by his outfit. "I'm so glad you're here. I've been waiting." He tweeted happily. Then another one like him came by.

"Welcome home, Lord Phantomhive." He pleaded. His right hand was bandaged and used some sort of an Indian hat.

"Right... I forgot you were here." Ciel sighed tiredly. The purple-haired man hugged Ciel just how Elizabeth would hug him.

"Eh? Who is this?" Soma asked, looking directly at you, which made his butler turned to you too.

"Y/n, she's a new maid of mine." Ciel introduced you as he was released from Soma's tight embrace. Agni smiled warmly at you, "Y/n? What a lovely name! For a wonderful lady." he approached you, he clasped his hand together, bowing to you, "I am Agni, Prince Soma's khanasama... Pleased to make your acquaintance." You nodded at him as a reply.

"Ohh... You're a pretty one now, aren't you? I'm Soma." Soma introduced himself, walking up to you and shaking your hand without you even knowing. He then returned to Ciel, kept nagging in him which made him frustrated as he stormed off up the stairs.

"You won't attract good fortune if you don't smile, you know!" Soma pleaded.

"Come now, Y/n. I'll show where you'll be sleeping." Sebastian had the bare to approach you. He reached a hand to you, you yanked your wrist before he could land a hand on it. "Don't bother." You hissed at him.

Walking towards Agni, you pleaded. "Pardon me, I'm sure the young lord had informed you about our stay. Would you be so kind to show me the guest room I'll be staying in?" Agni turned to you, smiling delightedly. "Why, of course. Come, I will show you."

You could say, you felt bad for turning down Sebastian. But you still didn't want to talk with him. You took a small glance at him, he looked back at you, eyes filled with nothing but concern and regret. You tear your gaze, focusing on your path.
