Crossover Together ~クロスオーバ 一緒に~

The morning sun began to arose into the England landscape. Out in the nature of England, just outside of London, the landscape was drastically different over Japan, and in the summertime, the thick forests a healthy greenery. The morning light was greeted by many a birds, including a flock of Swanna gracefully flying through the summer air. Their flight towards the nearest lake passed by one particular area of this England forest, none of the birds paying it no mind, and flying right on past it. This area wasn't a simple patch of forest, or an opened grass, but instead it was what appeared to be a house. Far as a house would go, this one was exceptionally large. The expanse of land belongs to said home, and the bushes and trees were just the main outline for it. The home itself, lined by the rising morning light revealed an aristocratic, yet old manor. The manor stood stories tall, like a castle in some ways, with the exterior lined with bricks ranging from whites to greys, with a prominent, yet darkish blue rooftop lining it all together. Such a building sounded more like a spot inside London, rather than a place on the outskirts. With the rising sun, this light began to reach into the manor's windows, lighting up the inside with its natural light. Amongst these rooms, one of them was blocked off by a prominent blue curtain. A very regal one for a old building such as this, but even with the curtain up, the morning light still prompted one figure to begin his daily duty.

"Good morning, young master," a calm, soothing voice beckoned, as said figured started to move the curtains out of the way to allow the morning light to fill in the room. As to be said along with the curtains, the room itself looked far more regal for where it was located. The room was one of the bedrooms in the manor, the master bedroom to be exact, with a king-sized, four-poster bed aligned with the same blue curtains with yellow trimming. Clearly, this place was not only well-kept, but one for high-ranking society. In this case for 'high-ranking society', the young master was just starting to wake up upon the calm words and welcoming light from outside. He began to wake himself up, stretching his arms and getting his senses awake. The young earl looked like a fairly average boy, looking in his teen years. His hair was black, short, and well maintained, and his eyes were as blue as the curtains that lined his bed. He was in a sleeper's nightshirt, though it was easily going to change up. He wasn't alone in his room though, as he took sight of his acquaintance. The other figure was a lot taller than him, a Divining male in his prime. His hair was also short and black, and according to his black tuxedo, his position was fairly clear as the youth's butler. Not often can a earl get a butler quite like this one, with such dazzling looks and calm demeanor. His eyes were a blood red, and skin smooth with a palish tone.

Pretty soon, so began the butler and earl daily morning routine. The butler's job here is to dress the young master, and so he did. Each act was done with delicate precision: buttoning his shirt, slipping on his socks and shoes, and so on. All the master had to do was comfortably sit there and let the butler dress him up, so not too much effort on his part aside from lifting the arm or foot when needed to. The whole process, which was clocked at just under two minutes, was all done in silence. The butler didn't need to be told step by step on how to do this, and the earl was grateful to have a smart butler to serve him. Speaking of serving, the butler also had his master's morning drink, which was all set up with a tea cup, plate, and kettle matching set. When dressing was all done, the butler went over to the serving table, as the master reached for the top of his dresser for his last, signature dress piece. At least with this, the young master tied on himself.

"Today, we have moon drop tea, made with only the finest ingredients," said the butler, as he gently poured the tea through a strainer into the master's cup. The young master was given the cup of tea, the sweet smell soon reaching his nose after a small sniff.

"Smells nice," said the master, as he took a sip of his tea. A nice morning drink to start the day. The butler stood quietly nearby, letting the young master enjoy his tea before he have the cup and plate back.

"Sebastian, what's today's schedule?" Asked the earl, referring to the butler by name.

"I believe we're to visit the market today, my lord. Our chef says that were running low on ingredients and products," answered Sebastian. The young earl sighed, and got up to his feet. He took a step or two before looking at himself in the mirror, seeing his one blue eye, and the other covered by his final dress piece: a black eyepatch.

"Very well. Go and get the car ready," the master order.

"Yes, my lord," replied Sebastian. With a simple bow, Sebastian went off out of the room to start the car for his master, as the young lord got himself handled with an extra trinket - it was just a blue ring - added to his ring finger. It was a sapphire ring, a lovely piece of jewelry. Once that was added on, the young master turned, and left the room.

Time to begin the day for the young earl.

.......

"WOHOO! HELLOOOOOO LONDON!" Pinkie yelled, as she stepped out from the airport.

When it came to the others, their time in London England had to wait a little bit, since their arrival was in the middle of the night. Now that they're rested up, they all were ready to check out London for themselves, and were soon walking down through the city from the airport. Nagisa would've never guessed that he and his friends would end up in London England, and yet here they were. May not be as dazzling without the light show, but daytime gave them a better view of London for what it is. Buildings here compared to Tokyo were less 'apartment complex' and more 'residential', many buildings made of bricks over the smoothed materials back in Tokyo, and many not over five stories tall like the big city apartment buildings at home would have it. It wasn't as crowded either, not by a long shot, which was a nice change of pace. It wasn't as up-to-date as Tokyo Japan though, so that would be a downside for some of the group, if they took that into account that is.

"Glad I'm out of that damn cage," Blair commented, now in her human form and liking the space much better over the small cage she can up in. She was the only one who didn't have any fun on the ride up.

"Just be glad you didn't have to stay in there the whole time," Aladdin said. That was the only proper thing that Blair could say about it, really.

"Just don't try and shove me in that thing, ok?" Blair made clear.

"Ok, ok. At least you didn't lose anything in your flight, my sword's stuck back in a Tokyo airport tray," Karma said, wondering how the hell he can get that sword back. He can't fight any surprise demons without his great sword to back him up.

"Don't worry, maybe we won't find any demons while here. You'll get it back when we get back," Twilight assured. Karma hoped so. Nagisa watched them with a smile, as they continued walking along. Nice to have moments like these in between the craziness.

"Either way, let's try to enjoy it while we're here. So, Pinkie, what's up first?" Nagisa asked. Pinkie was hoping they'd say that, and she pulled out the list to look it over, going right to the top. The first thing was probably more essential than fun, but still interesting to explore since they're pretty much a continent over.

"First stop: food shop! Let's see what goodies they make here in jolly ol England," Pinkie said, skipping ahead. Looks like the group got their first little activity to do. However, while the others went on ahead, Twilight began to think back a little bit, and stopped Nagisa from going any further. After all, he also had a similar dream compared to her own.

"Twilight, wait. ... Does this place look familiar to you?" Twilight asked. Twilight took a bit, but her memory did begin to piece together slightly.

"... Now that you say that," Nagisa stated. Suddenly, Twilight went to her bag, and managed to grab a slip of paper. This was a main list of all the 'visions' Nagisa and Twilight had shared from that one dream. Such a strange dream was not to be ignored, and now with it in hand, they both took a quiet moment to check it. The list was just description and words, but it was enough to get the idea of it all.

"Let's see, let's see ... there," Nagisa said, pointing to one name in the list. The word mainly was just 'airport exit', and it came from Nagisa's side of the dream vision trade.

"That's one already," Twilight said.

"It could be just a coincidence," Nagisa concluded.

"Nagisa, Yugure, shake a leg!" Called Pinkie Pie. Nagisa and Yugure were quick to catch up, and soon they were off on their way to the market.

~~

Their walk through England gave them all a good sight of London until they eventually arrived to the market. The market here didn't look too different when comparing this one to the one at home; a main walkway the size of a street with shops side by side. It wasn't too bad, and the walk gave little Aladdin and Blair the view of the market. Aladdin and Blair both got some different disguises over their usual looks back in Japan, looking more formal and mimicking the townsfolk in a bit. When comparing this place to that of Tokyo Japan, London England was just simply smaller.

"You know, humans sure are open to ideas. Didn't humans all over the world look like this at one point?" Aladdin asked. Blair took a glance over at some of the locals, some of which were checking them out.

"I dunno. Then again, overworld and underworld beings had stuck to ideas for centuries. I mean, look at us," Blair pointed out.

"Yeah, good point. Magis and witches are an older concept nowadays. Guess I'm one to talk," Aladdin admitted, rubbing the back of his head. Blair didn't mind it much though, and during their check out of the market, Blair stopped when she saw a part of the market selling fish. Being a cat at heart, it's an offer that she wasn't gonna pass up. The types of fish were different from Japan fish. While Japan had such fish like Magikarp and Seaking, the fish being served here appeared to be Feebas and Remoraid from the sea coast, out on display in an ice tray. Blair never tried either fish, and was in the mood for some cooked Feebas.

"Ah, morning. Can I interest you in fresh fish today?" The fisherman asked, as they both got near. Aladdin had never seen such fish before, and the sight of such a fish intrigued him. Blair focused more on the fisherman rather than the fish.

"Bet you can. I'd like to have one of your uh ... Feebas," Blair said, after figuring out the name.

"Nice choice. You want it pre cut, or whole, madam?"

"Whole. My first time trying this fish isn't going to be pre-made, thank you," Blair stated. The fisherman grabbed one of the Feebas on display (the one Aladdin was looking at) and got it wrapped up for her. Blair licked her lips, and she just couldn't wait to try it out after some home cooking. Blair held the delicacy in her hands, but the fisherman was waiting for payment.

"That'll be twenty dollars," said the fisherman. Blair and Aladdin didn't have a single coin on them, and even if they did, Japan money won't work in the United Kingdom far as they know.

"Oh, surely that can't be the real price.~" Blair said, starting to work her charm in. If it worked in Japan, maybe it can work here? However, the fisherman was a bit more firm than that.

"More than sure it's twenty dollars, madam. Not very much, I'm sure," the fisherman corrected. Seems this wasn't gonna be so simple. So, Blair gave the large fish to Aladdin to hold, and she brought herself into the counter to step up her game. She sat down comfortably, swung her leg over the other, and gave a good pose.

"Seriously, what's the real price?~"

"... Nice try. Twenty dollars please."

Well this wasn't working. Blair got back down, and looked to Aladdin, who was staring eye to eye with the Feebas. How was she going to have the fish if she can't pay for it? Blair got Aladdin to pay attention with a few taps to the head.

"You have any money for the fisher?" Blair asked. Aladdin looked to the fisherman, and then saw how much the Feebas actually cost. Aladdin checked his person for some money, but he basically came up empty. Not a cent in his pockets or anything. Then again, it was hard to check himself when holding a large Feebas fish. He did eventually find some money, but it was yen coins.

"Do you take yen here?" Aladdin asked, presenting about ten yen coins to him. The fisherman looked at the yen pieces on his counter, taking one and looking it over to make sure. He got it straight away that these two weren't from around London.

.......

Blair and Aladdin were back with the others further into the market. The whole group were now looking at the fruits, Pinkie and Aladdin looking over what was available. Nagisa, Karma, Twilight, and Blair were standing aside. Blair was a bit disappointed with what money could buy. Instead of a full-sized Feebas, she was holding a bag with some chopped up Remoraid. And rather small at that. Not what she wanted to get by a mile. The others got some extra food for their stay, though it wasn't too much better than what Blair got, consisting of small bags.

"Well, shopping could've been easier," Karma said.

"This is a rip off," Blair groaned, looking at the Remoraid cuts.

"Not really. Money's different over here, that's all. Not everywhere in the world takes yen," Twilight said. It still didn't seem too fair for the cat witch.

"So I noticed."

Pretty soon, Pinkie and Aladdin were finished in the fruits, coming out with a lot more stuff in her bags. Aladdin was already munching on some freshly grown tomatoes by the time they got back to the others, enjoying the taste of the red treats. Pinkie's bag had plenty of vegetables to boot so they got that going for them.

"Hey guys! Having fun in our shopping day?" Pinkie asked, oblivious to the bad shopping they've gone through.

"Eh maybe we should try to find a place to stay now, Pinkie. We've been shopping for an hour, I think we're good," Twilight said. Pinkie needed a sec before she got the idea, a HUGE gasp escaping her.

"You're right! All these yummy goodies, and no place to goodie-out! Come on, our quest shall commence!" Pinkie announced, already going off ahead to find them all a place to stay.

"There she goes," Karma commented, as the others began their casual walk. Leave it to Pinkie to run off on them like that. Twilight, Aladdin, and Karma moved onward, leaving Nagisa for just a moment in the back of the line. He needed a bit to get himself walking again. ...

"I believe that's everything, master Ciel."

"Very well. Let's head back."

"Yes, my lord."

A strange sort of voice over nearby. At first, Nagisa didn't really pay too much attention to a simple argument, but the oddly calming, soothing voice was one that seemed a bit odd to hear for him. Behind him, as it turned out, both Ciel and his butler Sebastian were shopping at the same market, and at this point, this Ciel had just finished getting the products as said earlier that morning. Not too much of a problem for Nagisa if his body wasn't shivering on him again. Both figures stepped into a car, and they began to drive up and away. Nagisa took one glance behind him as the car past him ...

One look was all it seemed to take.

The look was only two seconds, but his eyes only needed two seconds to see who was actually in the passing car. In the car, Nagisa saw Ciel in the car, the kid in a blue formal outfit, of a buttoned blue overcoat and a blue top hat. Ciel took a look outside as well, and his one eye also took a look at Nagisa, taking him in just as much. Both boys in blue ... and something unique about them both that both sides seemed to notice, as if sensing eachother. However, the two seconds wasn't enough to figure it out fully, and soon Ciel was gone down the road, and around the corner, leaving Nagisa Shiota stunned. ...

"Nagisa, you got icebergs on your feet or something? Pinkie's a mile ahead of us!" called Karma.

"Y-Yeah, coming!" Nagisa replied.

.......

It was a quiet drive to get back to the manor, but Ciel and Senastian managed to get back home in decent time. Sebastian parked the car nearby the manor, and as any butler world, opened the back door for Ciel. As Ciel got out, Sebastian looked to his young master's face, and noticed that Ciel was thinking something over.

"Is something troubling you, young master?" Sebastian asked. Ciel took a few more steps until he stopped at his front door.

"Sebastian. Did you notice anything out of the ordinary during our visit to the market today?" Ciel asked. Sebastian closed the car door, and followed his master inside the manor as his mind went to work.

"I did sense a unique sort of presence, yes," answered Sebastian, as he began to take his lord's hat and coat. Ciel began to think a little bit more, hand reaching his chin during his mind process. Sebastian got Ciel's hat and overcoat on the front coat rack. Something about that kid earlier seemed off to both Ciel and Sebastian.

"What sort of presence, might I ask?" Ciel inquired.

"A little unclear, my lord, though I do believe it's a sort of holy energy. A blessed sort of energy."

"Blessed energy. ..." Ciel took it into consideration, but before he could put it together, Sebastian then pulled something out from his coat pocket, and gave it over to his young master. The object seemed to be a small letter, address signing to his estate. Sebastian picked it up on the way home, and only now did he give it over to his young lord.

"For you, young master."

"You decide now to give this to me?" the earl questioned, a little bugged as he took the letter, and began to open it. He took a quiet moment to read it over, top to bottom, and then taking his options again. Soon, Ciel turned to his loyal, trusted butler.

"I'd like to ask a favor of you. Come here," Ciel instructed, as he began walking along. Sebastian began to follow his master through the manor from there. The walk itself was quiet one, but Ciel knew where he was going through the large halls of his manor. It was a bit strange with how little there was actually inside the manor halls. Plenty of possessions, sure, but when it did come to the amount of people inside the manor, there was little evidence aside from Sebastian and Ciel in these halls. As for where they were going, it took them a bit, but Ciel got both of them into his office. A bit big for a young earl, but it was all his. The large room had few things to cram it up with: a large book shelf to the right wall, large windows to the back, and the master's desk over to the center. Ciel went over to the desk, sat down, and began to work something out on a piece of paper. Sebastian, as any good butler would, stood aside and waiting as Ciel wrote a simple sort of message down. After that was done, he folded it up, and gave it to his trusted butler.

"See this gets to Nagisa," Ciel simply instructed.

"Yes, my lord."

~~

The group in London's populated center had eventually found a place to stay at a London hotel. It wasn't anything too fancy for what the group could get, but it seemed efficient enough. The room they got resembled that of an apartment building, so adaptation for some of them wasn't going to be too much trouble. The room consisted of two beds, and after some tricks, a kitchen to boot (how they manage was anyone's guess). As the others chilled out in their temporary home, Blair and Pinkie were cooking up some of their food, most of it being a vegetarian meal with the exception of the Remoraid fish they got. Work with what you got, really.

"Dinner's ready!" Pinkie announced, happily going to the others with plates of food for each one of them. Since the meal was mainly fish, Blair and Pinkie decided to make the group some Remoraid Sashimi. A good meal that didn't require too much fish, and with some of the vegetables as a side. The others begin to eat up the Sashimi, but little by little, they begin to see that one of them wasn't really hungry: Nagisa. It wasn't that he was not hungry at all, but his mind just was focused somewhere else.

"Something's on your mind, isn't it? What's going on?" Twilight finally brought up.

"Nothing, I'm good. Just not hungry, that's all," Nagisa said, placing his plate aside. However, the others weren't buying it.

"I know that look. Come on, spill it," Karma insisted. It took a bit before the situation sunk in, and soon Nagisa just got it over with.

"... Ok, maybe I'm a little edgy," Nagisa got out, sitting up on the bed.

"Edgy?" Aladdin asked, his mouth full of Remoraid meat. Nagisa placed a hand to his head.

"I'm gonna take a wild stab, and say your demon sense acted up again?" Karma assumed.

"I-I don't know. Something happened at the market, just as we were leaving, but I don't know what. It can't be my demon sense - no demons were around anywhere. ..." Nagisa trailed off in thought at this point. Was there a demon at the market, or not? The last number of demons (Jizo, Houndour, Korosensei, and even Blair) were a bit obvious to tell simply by what they look like. Yet, this was different. Nagisa's own demon sense acted up in, apparently, the wrong place. All he saw was another human go by him in a car, and that was it. Twilight moved over next to him, looking to him in concern.

"Maybe that demon sense is just screwing around with you," Karma figured.

"Nagisa, what did you see while we were there?" Twilight asked, trying to pinpoint the problem.

"Nothing! all I saw aside from you guys was just another kid. He looked like one of those 'earls', or something," Nagisa explained. That word 'earl' got Twilight to think a little bit more.

"What's an earl?" Aladdin asked.

"It's just one of those noble bitch families who think they're above everyone else," Karma bluntly said. not very in tact, or exactly what it is, but it was too the point far as he was concern. Twilight though felt like the word sounded a little familiar to her, and not just because she knew what the word meant either.

"... Earl ... wait a second."

Suddenly, Twilight was up on her feet, and went over to her bag, fishing out that list she and Nagisa checked earlier. They had already confirmed the first thing Twilight had seen, and marked it off the list much like a checklist. She quickly went right back to Nagisa, the others a bit unsure what was actually going on. When she sat down, Twilight showed the list to Nagisa, and pointed to one of the things that they put in.

"An earl! Nagisa, didn't you say something about that?" Twilight asked. Nagisa didn't consider it, but after Twilight brought it up, his mind began to think back. Did she mean -

"Yoink!" Blair suddenly said, taking the list, and checking it herself. The others weren't told of Nagisa and Twilight's strange dream yet, and when they looked over this, the questions began to flow into their own heads on these supposedly random things. Nagisa and Twilight knew right away that they were wanting to know about this.

"What's the list for?" Karma asked. Twilight was the one who decided to say.

"Well, we were going to tell you on the day, but you all were kind of busy preparing, so ..."

"PLEASE say already! The suspense is killing me!!" Pinkie insisted, hyped up on the dramatic build up.

"Ok, ok! Me and Nagisa had this ... odd dream, a couple nights ago. That list is the things we saw in it. We thought it wasn't much, but after arriving ... maybe it's a bit more important," Twilight revealed. Blair straightened the list in her paws, reading it up and down. It really didn't explain why it sounded important a few seconds ago though, but Aladdin did have a theory on it, but he needed to know more about this dream to be sure.

"What else did you two see?" Aladdin asked, a bit intrigued himself. The dream was a while ago, so both of them had to get their memories jogging for a minute.

"Well, let's see ... We were both at some sort of flat island, I think: few trees, a river or two. While we were there, this thing began to fly around in the sky. This flash happened when it saw us, and ... well, there's the list there," Twilight explained.

Pure silence. When the others looked, Aladdin just sat there in complete shock, eyes opened wide, and a Sashimi piece dangling from his mouth for a bit before falling back onto his plate, expression unchanged. Was as if Aladdin was frozen on hearing the details of the dream.

"... Aladdin?" Nagisa asked.

"EEEEEHHHH! OH MY GOSH, Twilight, Nagisa! This is incredible, you two used Future Sight!" Aladdin beamed.

"WHA?!" Both of them gasped. Future sight? For real?! The name was self-explanatory on what it actually was, but the fact both of them actually had it happen to them was a mind-blowing revelation.

"Future Sight? You sure about that? That's not the most common magic ever," Blair said, astonished but unsure.

"What do you mean?" asked Twilight.

"Future sight's not the same magic as, say, Alchemy. 1.) It's a spell you're born with, and 2.) even if you used it, it's by someone else's Future Sight used on you," Blair explained. Regardless, it was still exciting to hear it even being used on one of her friends, if not them using it themselves.

"This is HUGE! REALLY HUGE! You guys have no idea how rare this is," Aladdin said, as giddy as Pinkie Pie would be about it. It was amazing to even see this at all, and according to the fairly decent-sized list of visions, this must be a pretty big one.

"OOOO, Here, do it to me, do it to me! Tell me my future, oh soothsayers!" Pinkie said, head bowed and ready. However, neither side even knew how it happened, so, they didn't do anything.

"... How accurate is this Future Sight, anyway?" Nagisa asked after a bit, turning to Blair and Aladdin.

"I dunno. I did read somewhere that it is pretty close, but exact timing's not so great," Blair said, and even then it was just a guess on it. Such a rare ability being used at all, nevermind used on someone else, was about as rare as a blue moon according to the magi and witch. Karma took a moment to check the list too, now thinking over just how much was in store for them if this was as accurate as Blair said.

"Sounds like we're in for one hell of an adventure," Karma concluded. However, Nagisa just felt a bit off about the whole thing.

"So that's it then. Looks like things aren't going to be the same, huh?" Nagisa said, bummed out.

"Why's that a problem? I say you EMBRACE it! Take it in! Have a lot of fun! Who knows what's coming aside from Future Sight-seers?" Pinkie insisted, catching their attention.

"She's got a point. I mean, we're already neck deep in this angel and demon stuff before getting here. So, why not just go along for the ride and see what happens? Sure beats our boring ass lives back in Tokyo any day," Karma agreed. Nagisa would protest, but he couldn't really think on what to say. After all, they were in this kind of deep already, and Nagisa already talked to Aladdin about this, so ...

*knock**knock*

"OOO, visitor!" Pinkie beamed, going right over to their room door. It couldn't be room service over the fact they were eating Sashimi already. Upon answering it, Pinkie Pie found that it was actually one of the staff members for the hotel, holding a note in hand. It didn't take very long: the staff member gave Pinkie the note, a 'thank-you' exchange, and that was it. Pinkie Pie opened up the letter, and ...

"EEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Pinkie, what's up?" Karma asked, as Pinkie Pie hopped right over back to them, extremely excited. Pinkie was quick to show the letter around one person to the other, giving each one time to at least get the main idea of it.

An invitation to the Phantomhive manor.

"Damn, talk about timing," Blair commented.

"WOOO! PARTY AT PHANTOMHIVE HOUSE!" Pinkie cheered.

"I don't think it's going to be that kind of party, Pinkie," Twilight said.

"Not until I walk in!" Pinkie said, still as excited. Aladdin and Pinkie both ended up excited to go, giddy about it all. Karma couldn't help but smirk, and he looked right over to Nagisa, who was still in disbelief about the whole thing. They were just talking about change, and suddenly here was an invitation to a 'Phantomhive manor', almost out of the blue.

"Let's go along this ride, shall we?" Karma smirked. Nagisa took a moment to take everything in. Here they were, in London, now being invited to the Phantomhive household. They've gone through plenty of surprise back in Tokyo, made friends with a witch and a magi, and took down their fair share of demons. So many of these things happening, and it really does appear that his life was not going to be the same again. Then again, he went back to thinking on what Aladdin had told him before they left Tokyo Japan.

Nagisa smiled.

"Yeah. I think we will."

~~

While the world may be normal over here (as normal as it would get), one being in his own world was getting his own plans up and ready. The room he was in was dark, ancient, and empty - only him and one other being encased in the room's shadows. The only source of light came in from the dim light of the violet flames left amongst the wall's torches. The first being was standing straight, and the other figure, more animal-like, stayed laying down in front with its head aimed to its feet.

"Had the Homunculus arrive in London yet?" The first figure asked. The animal nodded.

"I witnessed them leave Tokyo myself. I don't know how they wouldn't be there by now."

"Good. ... You go. Meet with them there. You know what to do."

"With pleasure."
