Kalan In The World Of ~ Black Butler ~ Chapter 10

Tea that afternoon was something of an extraordinary experience.  A human, demon, platypus, Archangel and a Shinigami all sat together having tea in silence.  Sometimes silence can be blissful, it certainly was without Prince Soma and Agni, but this silence was a little more awkward.  The tension stood between Kalan and Sebastian, it wasn't Kalan's fault but she knew that as soon as Malum woke, chaos will surely rupture and Kalan was not looking forward to it.
"Kalan, what do you plan on doing now?" came Earl Ciel's voice.  The rest of the company turned to face her and over the top of her tea cup Kalan smiled.
"I plan to take a look around the world and see what has changed.  It has been far too long since I last saw the world"
"Indeed. It would be far too risky for one such as yourself to be in one place for too long... Am I right?" Sebastian said with a slight glare in his eyes.
"Right you are..... Sebastian" Kalan smirked, sipping lightly.  She looked down at the milky brown substance and sighed. "I will need to go soon"

At that moment, the marvellous timing of Prince Soma and Agni swung open the door and Soma being his usual loud self, cried out in sadness. "KALAN! No you can't leave! I will miss you too much!" he announced before he even took a look at her.  Agni jumped in front of him and went to calm him down when the look on his Prince's face confused him.  Turning around they both saw the strange view, first of all Ciel the Earl was back, then they tried to comprehend the new Kalan sat beside the Undertaker.
"What happened to you?  Look at your hair!" the Prince commented with a high tone of puzzlement.

Kalan stood up and chuckled, bowing politely "Welcome back Prince Soma and Master Agni" she added with a wink. "I finally have all my memories back and this is one of its side effects" she said running her fingers through and bouncing her mass of hair. "Do you like it?"

Both men fumbled over their words and Kalan laughed bringing them in for a hug. "Come and have a seat.  I shall make some more tea" Reed chimed popping up behind and guiding them to empty chairs.  Agni sat next to Sebastian and frowned slightly. "I am not used to have someone else serve me tea" he chuckled.
"Likewise" Sebastian smiled as a fellow butler.
"My Lord you wouldn't happen to have a world map in your study would you?" Kalan asked approaching the table, she placed her hands on the chair and stroked the design slowly, taking note of every detail.
"I do, what of it?" Ciel replied, watching the Prince and Agni carefully, thanking every god known for not making a fuss about him, for once.
"I'd like to plan my trip.  The world is a large place and full of new and interesting things.  I don't want to miss any of it!" she replied with a quick glance at Sebastian.

The Undertaker who had been silent up until now stood and placed his hat on his head. "Hihihi It is time I left, I have things to do" he announced.
"Things? You don't DO things" Ciel blurted out almost jokingly.
The undertaker thought this was hilarious by bending backwards in a heartily laugh. "Ahhh my Lord that was very amusing." he said before bowing and attempting to leave the room.  Kalan excused herself and chased after him.

"Undertaker. I have a few more questions about the last remaining blanks" she said taking his hand, making sure he stopped walking away.
"Hmmmmm? More Questions? More Blanks?" he said like he pretended he didn't know.
"Ohhh cut the crap Undertaker.  How did you know so much about me and yet I remember little about you? I thought I had all my memories, but I have still have some blanks.  Mainly to do with you" she asked swiping his bangs to the side, showing off his luminously green lit eyes.  She smiled upon seeing them again but his eyes were filled with hurt.
"You still don't remember?" he asked taking her hands into his.  His hair fell back in front of his eyes and Kalan felt her heart drop.
"Did we... I mean were, no, are we..." she began but she was cut off by Sebastian's call
"The Lord has found his map for you.  Please come to the study" he announced.
Kalan bit her lip as she went to carry on her thoughts but the Undertaker had slipped away from her grasp.  He placed a finger on her lips and smiled.
"Oh dear… I guess we will have to meet again... before you leave of course" he whispered before smiling a sad smile and left Kalan in the middle of the hallway, confused, sad and almost lonely.
