WHATS FUNNY; is that a ton of people have read this chapter, and for some reason, they just stopped. LIKE: Do you really hate this story THAT MUCH? To just, not EVEN GIVE IT A CHANCE?

I'm watching you. O.O

Well, I'm watching my story's stats.. SAME THING, BASICALLY.

I do not own Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

~~ALOIS'S P.O.V~~

My name is Alois. That's all anyone really needs to know about me. There's no reason for them to know more. It's not like they care about me, right? Because, I don't care about them, either. There's nothing in the world for me to care about anymore. If anything, it's long gone. If anyone, they're long gone. I'm a new me. That's it. I'm all by myself in the world.

I pushed the back of my head into my cushioned office chair to look at the ceiling. The moon shed a silver light into the room from behind me. I slowly blinked my eyes like a light switch, switching from light to dark.

My office door creaked open. It was Claude.

"It's getting late, your highness. You should return to your sleeping quarters." He spoke with his blank, meaningless and dull demeanor.

"I'm not very tired at the moment. Maybe in a little while." I looked up at the ceiling.

"As you wish." He turned around and took a single step out.

"W-Wait."

He turned around, "Yes?"

"You know 'Phantomhive'... Correct?"

"Of course."

"Mind doing me a favor, Claude?"

"I am at your disposal."

I grinned, "Find a way to get him here for me."

He nodded and disappeared into the dark hallway behind him. My smirk didn't leave my face as I stood up from my place in my chair. I walked over to the wall of books on the right of the room. I skimmed over the shiny, dusted, spines of each one. Untouched and unscathed. My eyes moved over to a chess board on a shelf that met my eye level. Dusted perfectly, like all of the books, showing shiny black and white marble. The opposing kings stood at opposite sides of the playing field, waiting for the others move. I made mine. Now it's your turn.

I smiled again and silently creeped out the empty moonlit room and returned to my bedroom. My legs took my to my bed and I pressed my face into my pillow.

Why would I do this? That's easy. I want a friend. Why him, to be exact? He's the perfect choice. Ciel Phantomhive. Someone who went missing after his parents' deaths. Then he came back mysteriously with a new butler. His story seems to be a common one, right? I'm just thinking... If anyone was to understand me, it would be him.

The silence after my thoughts began to put me to sleep. That empty, consuming silence. The silence of being alone. I want it to leave. No more silence. No more silence, and I can finally be happy.

I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I was excited to find out. I got up from my chair and twirled over to my perfectly spotless window. I smile and wipe the glass with my hands to create more work for Claude and begin gazing outside. Maybe I'll actually have a friend now.

I laughed. Friend, eh? I don't believe I've ever had one of those before.

~~CIEL'S P.O.V.~~

Sebastian creaks my bedroom door open at the usual time. I push my covers off and sit up. He hands me my morning cup of tea. I wipe my eyes free of last nights sleep.

"Any news this morning, Sebastian?" I sipped my tea.

"Indeed, young master."

I blew on the surface of my hot cup, "Go on."

"A letter. From the Earl Trancy."

I sighed, "Hand it over." He gave me the parchment with the Trancy seal placed on the cover. I tore it open and read-.

Dearest Ciel Phantomhive,

I was informed by the queen of a certain new serial murderer and was told to pass the information to her loyal little guard dog. Because of this, I request your presence at my manor for the evening tomorrow to discuss the matter. I will see you then my dearest Phantomhive.

Love,

The queens Spider, Alois Trancy.

Shivers went down my spine at 'Love'. Alois always creeped me out like that. I was quite taken aback by the message, mostly because the queen didn't tell me of the case directly. However I was willing the meet to retrieve any information on the threat. Yet, something was unnerving about the letter. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I sighed again with a yawn, "Do I have to?"

"Honestly, young master, It will be best for you to retrieve the information. On orders from the Queen." He tilted his head down in a bow. He's right...

The next morning Sebastian prepared a carriage for me. We started forward and I felt each bump in the road shake my head clear of my thoughts. I sat eagerly awaiting what comes next as I cushion my head into the edge of the carriage seat and my mind drifted, unwantedly, into a deep, dark dream.

I felt like I couldn't breathe. I saw red everywhere. It was snowing. No. That's ash. Ash everywhere. I began to run. I'm not sure where, I just seemed to know somehow. I found my manor door and went inside. I see a figure in the heat. My vision was growing hazy. The figure began to turn but before they could, I stopped breathing and collapsed, with tears bubbling up in my eyes. I gasp and everything fades to black.

I jumped at the dream and took in deep breaths. My heart was racing.. I felt tears grow in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away as to not be questioned about the fact later. Something strange is going on. I've always been pretty good at sensing it.

Sebastian opens the carriage door and grabs my attention by waving his hand in front of my face. I shoo him away. We've arrived at the Trancy estate. I follow my butler to the door, but stand behind as I knew how he just adored greeting me...

~~ALOIS'S P.O.V.~~

I had been staring outside for hours waiting for my darling Ciel… After I told Claude to send the letter I wrote, I couldn't really get much sleep because of my excitement. I have come up with the perfect plan, and thanks to Claude; I'll be able to pull it off. I may have gone a little too far, though...

I saw a carriage with two black horses trot up to the manor door. I beamed and began running towards the door. I had to answer it myself because Claude was finishing his part of my plan. At the door stood a tall, pale man with a black suit and black hair; clearly his butler. I shoved him out of the way forcefully hugged Ciel until I saw him turn purple. I ushered the two inside, like a good host.

Leading them to the parlor, I kindly pulled out two seats. Only two. One for me and one for my Ciel. I told Sebastian that he was free to do whatever he wanted, just try not to snoop around.

I closed the doors and we took our seats around the massive, ornate table I had made just a day ago for the occasion. I looked deeply into his eye, those beautifully dark pools. I start to lose myself into the blackness…

"Alois…?" he startles me.

"Ciel." I respond coolly while I gather my thoughts.

"Explain to me why you want me here, exactly," he looks at me coldly in frustration, "I went out of my way to come here for the information you supposedly have…"

"You want the truth and nothing but the truth?" I saw with a pouty face as I get out of my chair and waltz to my Ciel.

"Obviously, Alois." The dark blue haired boy says, becoming more annoyed.

"Well the truth is, there is no serial killer. No 'suicide', no death. Nothing...," I say as a look of 'I knew it the entire time' shot onto his face, "The truth is you need a place to stay and I am feeling awfully nice today." I breathe into his ear with a grin.

Ciel violently pulls away and asks, "Why would I need a place to stay?!"

"Haven't you heard?" I say innocently, "There were some major fires that started near your manor, and It's likely that they already got to your precious home. I'd say you won't be able to go back for several weeks." I smile and glance out of the window at Claude arriving an the manor. The deed must be done. I probably did go a bit too far, but anything for Ciel.

"What?!" Ciel screamed, "You're lying! I demand you let me go at once! You had something to do with it! I just know it! And why do I have to stay here?!" He was fuming.

I smile and pout. "Not true, my dear… besides, that's what happened. My servants agreed to help put out fires and rebuild for you. You really should be quite thankful. It's a lot of money, you know. The least I can do is let you stay here. Don't forget you'll be staying here with me until they're done. We will have much fun." A smirk made its way to my face once again.

He looked absolutely furious. It was hilarious.

I leaned in to kiss his cheek an annoy him further, and he pushed me away instantly.

"S-Stay away!"

My sweet smile came back.

I watched him give up arguing with me. He sat there staring at the table and simply breathing each word directly to me, "...Where Is- My Room...?"

I grinned at him, "Follow me," I led him to the room next to mine, "And if you can't sleep you can always sneak into my room so I can help you sleep." I whisper seductively into his ear then giggle silently. He suddenly turned very pale.

Ciel just stood petrified as he stumbled into his room and slammed the door. I guess he just needs to assess the situation. He'll accept what I've done and get used to his new arrangements. I just have to give him some time.

I walked across the hall to my room and slowly shut the door, pushing my back against hard wood behind me. I sank down to the floor and wrapped my rams around my knees.

Honestly, I really do hope he likes me.

A/N: OKAY THEN. I am updating what I last wrote. K? Kewl.

Um. IDK, I think this chapter was 'okay'. Not my best. If you are reading this for the first time, I recommend reading further into the story, because I think its better a few chapters in... I'm not trying to influence your decisions in life.

DON'T KILL ME! OKAY?!

I'm sorry.

Just- don't listen to me anymore.. I act drunk sometimes...

LAND-SHARK.!

Or... Sharkicorn! They're so adorable. Someone should start usin' some genetic magic to make the mystical 'Sharkicorn' happen. Every child wants one! :D

I'm so random. I'm sorry. So sorry...

PLEASE REVIEW. I need constructive criticism if you want me to get any better... PLEEEEASE!?

GAWD?!
