Night
London

"After him!" A man shouted to the other men. They were chasing a man through the streets towards the River Thames.

The man stood on the bridge, he giggled.

"This is my ring, now."

"No, I don't think so." A man hidden in the shadows said and continued "You do not deserve that ring."

"What?"

"The hope piece is in search of a worthy master, you don't fit that description."

The man moved his hand to control the attached string and force the other man to jump of the bridge.

"Help!" the falling man shouted as he fell into the icy depths.

Nextday

Ciel and Sebastian browsed the many stalls that lined on the frozen river.

"10 percent of when you buy 2 or more!"

"Ladies and Gentleman gather around, the frost fair hasn't happened in almost 80 years."

"Impressive, young master" Sebastian commented

"I suppose, it hasn't been held for many decades until now." Ciel informed him

Meanwhile. Elizabeth was also at the fair, looking for a birthday gift for Ciel.

"We really shouldn't be here, my Lady. Your parents are most likely going to be upset." Paula, Elizabeth's caretaker had told

"But the others shops had nothing and besides they wont mind." Elizabeth explained

"I noticed that you've been looking for something specific."

"Yes, a gift for Ciel's birthday and I can't find anything!" complained Elizabeth and continued "I need to find the perfect present, it must be perfect."

Paula cooed

"That's adorable, I pledge that I will help in anyway that I can."

"Thank you Paula"

With Ciel and Sebastian

"I've got deals that would blow even Jack Frost away!" a salesman shouted, behind him was a wooden Noah's ark.

"Those good are not that great compared to Phantomhive's. Look at the ark it's clearly a fake."

"Is that..." a Scotland Yard inspector spoke

"Well, if it isn't a Scotland Yard inspector that has time to spend at the fair. London must be very peaceful. "

"It's not, I'm on duty right now."

"Oh. well I'll leave you be."

Sebastian and Ciel started to walk away

"What come back, I have some questions I want to ask you!"

The man tried to reach for Ciel but Sebastian slapped his hand away.

"Fine. let us go and have some tea."

Timeskip

Ciel and the inspector sat in a Chinese style cafe.

"What is a Scotland Yard inspector doing here?"

"Murder. A man's corpse was found trapped in the ice this morning. We learned that he was apart of a certain criminal organization . I'm here to hunt down his killer and recover a blue diamond ring. Worth 2 thousand pounds"

"The diamond, the ultimate symbol of radiance, bewitching anyone that comes across it." Lau said appearing with Ran-Mao

"Impossible, how do you know about the Hope piece?" questioned the inspector

"I didn't, you told me."

"What?"

"Ignore him, Lau what are you doing here?"

"I own it"

"I should have guessed"

"This Hope piece sounds fascinating my Lord can you tell me more about." Lau pressed for the information

"You've never heard of it? A blue diamond named after the man who's collection it was apart of, Henry Philip Hope."

"Don't know it"

"It passed to Louis the 16th and Maria Antoinette, we know how they ended. The diamond is said to be a cursed stone and bring ruin to all who possess it. It was stolen a cut into 2 pieces. Those shards would certainly be valuable. "

"The diamond was being moved as evidence but it's carriage was attacked, it was stolen."

"Intriguing, details I want to help."

The inspector sighed and told him the details and went to visit the Undertakers, who had set up shop on the ice.

"Stay out here while I go in" The inspector told them

Few minutes later

"Hahahahahaha!" Undertakers laughter echoed through the shop, while everyone else went in.

"You should be a comedian"

"I don't think..."

"Enough! Can we get the Hope diamond information."

"I'll show you where the ring is but first I'm waiting on someone."

Another man walked in holding some hot chocolate and biscuits.

"You!" Ciel shouted

"Yes, me"

"What are you doing here?"

"Talking to the Undertaker, last time I checked that wasn't a crime."

Ciel blushed in embarrassment

"Here's your hot chocolate and biscuits Undertaker."

"Thank you"

"So what are you here for?"

"The Hope diamond" Lau told

"You shouldn't have told him that" The inspector scolded

"Master, why doesn't Grell help us?"

Ciel went over his options and huffed.

"You are allowed to help us" Ciel stated

"Who said anything about me wanting to help but since I have nothing better to do then so be it."

The group approached a statue of the queen, on one of her fingers was the diamond.

"We need to get this of now!" the inspector summoned 2 other officers to help him but was interrupted by the Viscount Druitt.

"If you want this statute you need to win the contest."

"Sebastian this is an order, win the competition!"

"Of course, my master"

Timeskip

"Now folks the judging shall begin"

The crowed cheered in response

"First up we have is Scotland Yard with the Guardian of London."

The ice sculpture was of Sir Arthur, a total of 5 points was awarded.

"The next team, who's name is All Women's Dresses Should Be Tiny and their entry."

The sculpture was of a naked Ran-Mao

"For obvious reasons the statue has been disqualified."

"But why?" Lau tilted his head innocently

"How could you possibly think that was proper to display."

Grell herd the conversation and laughed with Undertaker

"Next, the team called Queen's Puppy has the Ark of Noah."

Lots of people were dazzled by the sculpture

"It's so beautiful"

The roof fell off and showed the animals inside.

"Beautiful!"

"Genius!"

"We have 2 more entries. The second last one is from the team Grim and they have sculpted a Cheetah staking it's pray."

"That's so lovely!"

"Look at those teeth!"

Sebastian looked towards Grell and Undertaker, Grell smirked at him, proud of his sculpture.

"Damn we're definitely not going to win now" a robber that had previously stole the diamond complained

"Let's just take it!"

The small group pulled out their guns.

"Everyone stop what you are doing!"

"Give us the statute!"

"Leave or we'll blow up the bridge!"

Nearly everyone ran bare the police, Ciel, Sebastian, Grell, Lau, Ran-Mao and Undertaker.

"Sebastian, deal with them"

"Yes, my master"

Grell wasn't bothered at all, he continued to check his nails for any dirt, why bother getting involved when Sebastian can do it, well apart from the ice sculpture, he did enjoy making it.

Sebastian quickly dealt with most of them, the only man left, started throwing bombs on the ice but Sebastian stopped him.

*Clap**Clap*

Sebastian looked at who praised him to find it was Grell, he smirked at getting the other man's attention on him and only him. Undertaker started to hug Grell, which Grell didn't mind because he liked the other man. Sebastian's smirk fell and Undertakers grew. This was a declaration of war.

"Well done Sebastian but we better be going" Grell said

Sebastian nodded but deep inside he knew that he didn't want the other man to leave just yet, he didn't know why.

Unknown

"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London bridge is falling down, my fair lady..."

"So I thought to myself why not let the hope diamond find itself a new owner, eh, master?" The same man that had killed the robber on the bridge asked to a person who was sitting in a wooden chair.

The person who was sitting in the chair, hummed along with the song rather than giving a response.
