Hey vrybody! It's me, akira! I'm not dead! I was just super duper stressed out bcause of college but you kno what? I finally dropped out. I was a bit wonky because of the stress of things for a really really really long time but I think i've finally got back into the groove of things lol! I'm a lot more calm and happy now that i don't have so much pressure on me SO i decided to write this fic in commemoration. My writing may be a little different than usual but that's just because it feels just SO GREAT to be free again! College had me so stressed out, i just dont think it was right for me. Always having to worry about everything i write and thinking that it's all going to be awful no matter what...the insecurity was just so much so I gave up. :( Anyway, I hope you enjoy this! Me and my friend chloe from starbucks made this up last week and we've been develipping it since to make it super good for all of you! Unfortunately she couldn't spell check or anything since she's off visiting her parents in arkansas for the weekend but i think it's okay and all of you have been really receptive towards my stuff so ENJOY~!

(Also as a note morganite isn't dead! I'll get back to her eventually i've just been working on something extra special for it for a while but it's a surprise!)

(oh and also this is only based on the first seaon of the anime. I haven't read the manga yet and i haven't seen the second season. And is there a third one now? I don't know i haven't really been keeping up. ~_~)

I ran and ran until my lungs hut. I couldn't stop running, I couldn't. I needed to get away. I could hear them right behind me, but i tried not to be scared. Id been chased before so this wasnt new. I clutched the ring tightly in my hand as i ran towards the mansion...phantomhive estate.

I'm taro redgrave. i have carmel brown hair, a paperboy hat, and dark eyes. Im a little tiny but since im a street rat it means that i can get around pretty easily and steal peoples stuff easier. Its a hard knock life but i manage. :)

I found a ring on the street that day, a ring that i recgnized belonged to ciel phantomhive, the earl, who lived in the phantomhive estate. I lived close to there, so i new where it was. It was nly a matter of getting ther before these thugs cought me and stole the ring.

Eventually I reached the door of the estate and nocked on it fervently. It took a little bit but then a tall man wearing all black opened the door. "Yes? What is it, it's a bit late for soliciters." he said with a confused smile. He had a suave british accent that sounded really posh but he was obviously a butler which made it kind of weird.

"I have to speak to ciel," i said, panting, "because i have something for him."

"My young masters in bed, but i suppose i can see if he wants to see you. Come in, though." I walked into the huge place and gasped. It was absolutely gorgus, unlike anything id ever seen on the streets. The butler nodded to me when i came in. "Also, my name is sebastian michealus. Welcome, feel free to look around at your lesure," he said, before he ran off to get ciel.

I could hear the thieves who were chasing me outside and i frowned. Everyone always hastled me beacuse i was small, so i was usually chased a lot. They used to steal verything id get in a day, but i got fast and started outrinning them. Now i do pretty well for myself even if i feel a little bad since stealing is wrong. It doesnt matter though. I hae to do whatever i can to survive in this harsh world. Ill die if i dont...

After a while i saw ciel come from his room looking just like i remembered. He looked at me like i was dirt and i blushed since i was pretty dirty. "What do you need?" he asked hottily. "It's nearly midnight so get on with it, i dont have all day."

"I found your ring on the street," i said, giving the ring to him. His eyes lit up. "i think you must have dropped it, but i brot it here for you."

He looked at the ring a bit more before taking it from me. "Well need to have it washed, but at least its not broken," he said. "thank you, uh..."

"taro. taro redgrave," i said. " and you don't have to introduce yourself. i no your name already."

"I see." Ciel looked intrested. "Well, its late, and theres a gang outside, so it wouldnt be right to send you away...i insist that you stay here for the night and depart in the morning. Its the least I can do to thank you for—"

"Wow, really?" my eyes lit up. "Thank you!" I smiled as i went off to the guest room and climbed into the bed. It had been a long day, so I was more than ready to sleep...
