AN: Hey guys, I don't own Black Butler, I only own Damian and Ash. Please note that this will be mostly about Damian and Ash but will still include the other characters. I may include some Ciel/Sebastian and Alois/Claude.

Damian quietly pulled open the thick drapes, revealing the snow covered court yard of the Nightshade Manor. "My Lady, it is time to rise for the day." He said and turned to the sleeping form in the bed. The mistress of the house and owner of Nightshade Weapons, Ash Nightshade, groaned and sat up. "Honestly Damian, if I have to wake up to that stupid sun in my face again, I will slap you. You know I hate mornings, you demon." Damian bowed and brought a tray of tea and pastries over to her bedside. "My apologies, my Lady, but we have a short time before we must depart for our case." He handed her a cup of tea while Ash looked at him. "What are you blathering on about Damien? We haven't received word from her Majesty in days. Has she sent us a case?" Damian walked over to Ash's wardrobe and pulled out her dress for the day before replying. "Yes, I received it last night after you retired for the evening. It is laying on your desk in the study for you to read after breakfast." Ash sighed as Damian got her up and placed her in the dress. "Very well then, I would like a light breakfast in my study, now off you go." Damian smiled, got down on one knee and kissed her hand. "Yes, my Love." He stood and left the room. Ash took one last look in her mirror before walking to her study. Damian was already in the room with her breakfast by the time she arrived. Ash sat down at her desk and began to read the letter.

My Sly Raven,

I do hope you had a lovely holiday. Phelps and I successfully made pudding; I would love to see you try yourhand at it sometime. Now about the tickets disclosed in this letter, did you know a circus is coming to town?The Noah's Ark Circus is a traveling circus that has been traveling across England; however the town they are in has been missing children and the kidnappings stop when the circus leaves. The police have had no luck in finding the children. I want you to work with my Guard Dog and Spider to stop these kidnappings.
