There was a knock on your door. You blinked opened your eyes and looked at Mey-Rin. She shrugged and got up. You grabbed your gun and pointed as she turned the nob.
"[f/n] please put the gun down. There's business you must attend to." Sebastian's voice filled the room.
"Sebastian!" Mey-Rin screamed while covering herself. Even though she was wearing a full body nightgown. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to fetch Miss [f/n] for the Young Master."
Mey-Rin turned around to look at you, her face was as red as a tomato. She stepped away from the door. You sat up a little straighter, "The Master wishes to see you in his study in five minutes. Please don't be late." Sebastian turned on his heels and walked away.
"Jeez, does that guy ever crack a smile?" You threw your covers off yourself. You got ready in the bathroom, then you walked over to the closet and grabbed a uniform. After you put it on you did your shoes and pulled on a pair of pitch black gloves. "See yah." You walked out the door.
You made your way to the study and knocked. The door opened, Sebastian greeted you with a smile. You almost cringed, it was weird. You walked in and stood in front of Ciel's desk. "You wished to see me?"
"Yes, I have an assignment for you. Usually I don't want my servants working with me, I prefer them protecting my home. But for this job I need a young lady and I'm not dressing as one again."
What, you thought.
"The Master did make such a cute girl though. Shame that he isn't dressing as one again." Sebastian said.
What, Ciel is a cross dresser? You thought.
Ciel glared past you at Sebastian then calmly looked back at you. "There are young girls going missing and then turning up dead a few days after. It's my job to find out what is happening to them. It seems like they are being kidnapped then killed. But I'm not sure what happens to them in the few days they're missing."
You nodded your head, "You want me to be bait."
"Exactly, it seems that each of the dead girls were invited to this ball." He pushed an invitation towards you. "I need you to go to it and grab the kidnapper's attention."
"Will you be going?" You asked. You hid your shock to Ciel being perfectly fine with putting you in danger.
"Yes, I will be accompanying you as your" Ciel stopped and blushed a little, "date."
"Young Master, that is no way you should ask out a young lady." Sebastian cut in, making Ciel blush even more.
"I figure that you having me as an escort would make you more noticeable."
You raised an eyebrow, You think I ain't noticeable. You thought to yourself. "Of course I'll help, only I don't have anything suited for a ball to wear."
"I'll get Sebastian on that."
You sat in a large room next to Ciel. Your legs were swinging in front of you as you waited for Sebastian to return. Ciel sat on the couch next to you. His legs were crossed and his eye was fixated on the wall. Sebastian walked into the room holding a dress. "Miss [f/n], your dress. I do hope I picked out something to your liking."
You walked behind the privacy screen and hung your dress up. You frowned when you noticed that most of the screen was white. Ciel and Sebastian were probably watching you, pervs. You shook the thought out of your mind and faced the mirror. You started undressing, trying to ignore the scars imprinted on your body. You turned to the dress and took it out of it's cover, you gasped in awe. It was beautiful, simple, but beautiful. The dress was long, brushing against the floor. The waist was clinched in a bodice style. There were no straps, it was made of silk and some other soft material, and the dress had lace trimmings. The dress itself was white, but black lace trimming surrounded the bottom of the dress. The lace repeating a simple patter. The skirt, unlike most ball gowns, didn't poof up as much. Tied around the waist was a silk black bow. Then the bodice was white and the top of the dress also had black lace trimming around it. The black lace trailed around the top of the dress.
You pulled your boots on under the dress and slipped your swords into them. The dress was long, making it virtually impossible to see the boots. You looked at your hands, the gloves Ciel had given you only reach up to your wrists. They weren't suitable for the dress you had on and you certainly weren't going to a ball with ugly scarred hands. You walked out from the screen, holding your hands behind your back.
You looked at Sebastian, he gave you a light smile. You then looked at Ciel, his jaw slightly hung open as he looked at you. You blushed and turned away, facing Sebastian again.
"Sir, please close your mouth before you catch a fly." Sebastian playfully smiled at Ciel, who blushed then glared.
"Um," you spoke and pulled your hands out from behind your back, "I need something to cover these."
Ciel looked at Sebastian, "You forgot the gloves?"
"No of course not." Sebastian pulled out gloves from behind him. He walked towards you and handed the gloves to you. You slipped them on, they were pitched black like your normal ones. They reached up to your elbows.
"Boots, nice touch." Sebastian grinned at you.
You blushed, then tried to hide it. "Thanks, if I'm going to be bait I minus well have some good running footwear on." You looked at Ciel, "What will you be wearing?"
"Don't worry, what the Young Master will be wearing will match your dress." Sebastian looked at his watch, "I should start to prepare lunch. Miss [f/n], we will be treating you as a guest today. Please slip out of that gown, lunch will be served shortly."
You walked back behind the screen and took off the dress. You redressed yourself and walked back into the opened room. Ciel was still sitting on the couch, he was looking at you.
"What? Do you not like the dress?" You asked him.
"No, no, not at all, it's beautiful. Just, your outfit is missing something." He stood up, "Please, follow me." He walked out of the room. You followed him down the hall, he turned into room. He led you over to a dresser. On it there were jewelry boxes, he opened a few. "Here," he grabbed a necklace. The chain was silver, hanging off the chain was small black gems with a bigger gem in the middle of them. Then he grabbed small matching black gem earrings. "You can wear these."
"Thanks." This was the fanciest outfit you had ever worn in your life. Don't get blood on yourself, you mentally made a note to yourself.
"Come, Sebastian probably has finished preparing lunch."
You nodded and followed him to the dining hall. Mey-Rin, Finny, and Baldo were standing next to the table. They gave you a weird look as Sebastian pulled out a chair for you. You looked at them and shrugged as Sebastian was telling you what was being served. Mey-Rin poured tea into the cups in front of you and Ciel. You sat in silence, the eyes of everyone around you boring into your back. Except Ciel, he stared at his plate and ate, just like you.
"So um, when should I get ready?" You asked, breaking the silence.
"I have to take care of some work. I'll have Sebastian inform you when you should get ready. For the time being you can make yourself at home and act as if you are a guest. You must experience the Phantomhive Estates full hospitality." Ciel looked up at you.
You nodded as you chewed your food. Where's Jasper? You thought as you smiled at Ciel.
You finished you meal, then waited until Ciel had left for his study to follow the others back into the kitchen. "What's happen to the guest?"
"He's been on bed rest all day. Mey-Rin has been taking care of him." Finny said with a smile.
"Oh." You got up and left the room. I should go check on Jasper, see if he's gotten into any trouble yet. You thought as you walked up the stairs.
You walked past Ciel's study, but then stopped when you heard Sebastian and Ciel talking. I thought he was doing paperwork, why is he talking? You placed your ear against the door.
"Young Master I haven't seen you dance in awhile, but I presume you still can." There was a pause of silence before Sebastian spoke again. "I see, that explains why you play the wallflower when attending parties."
Ciel's voice came into the conversation, "I have too much work to do. I have no time to play around on dance floors."
"With all do respect Master, but dancing is a necessary skill for a person in your line of work. We must brush up on your dancing skills at once."
You heard someone pick up paper. "I'm busy working, I have no times for games."
"The world expects a first-class gentleman such as yourself to know how to dance. I assume that Lady [f/n] expects an excellent dancer as well." You heard someone getting out of their seat. "We have enough time to practice, but there isn't enough time to call in a tutor. Once again Sir, I will be your dance instructor."
"Don't be ridiculous!" Ciel yelled, "I can't dance with a tall man like you!"
You snickered.
"Then perhaps Miss [f/n] would offer herself to be your dance partner." Sebastian opened the door you were leaning against. "Would you?"
You looked up at Sebastian and then at Ciel blushing. "Yes, of course."
"Wonderful, please step in." Sebastian moved out of the way. You walked up to Ciel and stood in front of him.
"Alright, let's get this over with." Ciel took your hand in his.
Sebastian slapped his hand off of you, "That is no way in asking a lady to dance."
Ciel sighed, "May I please have this dance, my Lady?" He held out his hand for you."
You nodded and took his hand. Sebastian's hand found its way to the center of your back. "Closer, you must move across the dance floor as a single piece, not two." He pushed you up against Ciel's chest.
Sebastian stepped back and smiled at the embarrassed Ciel. "Now, let's begin with the first step."

I'm not very good at describing clothing. I hope the dress is to your liking and makes sense. But if it isn't, then just make up your own.
