(I do not own any of Toboso Yana's characters)

Alice sighed as she gazed down at herself; she was covered in blood, though none of it was hers; she walked in the door of her home, making sure to lock it behind her.

"Rough night?" asked a voice from the darkness.

"Yes and no, he wasn't hard to get rid of, just resilient to die quietly," she yawned.

A large white wolf walked over to where she had laid herself down on a small couch; "want me to help you to bed?" it spoke.

"No I'm fine Noir, why are you in that form anyway?" she asked the animal she called Noir.

"We had an intruder early, funny how humans can get scared by a mere animal, but not one of their own kind," he gave a dog-like smirk, "humans are the real terrors."

Alice laughed and patted him on the head, he slowly shifted to a human form as she patted him; he stood over her; snickering as he realized she'd already fallen asleep. Noir lifted Alice and took her to their bedroom, as he carried her he stripped off her bloody clothes and thought about whether to just leave her naked or not. In the end he covered her with one of his shirts, she'll be angry enough to she herself like this he thought. The night came and went quickly, Noir laid on Alice's right side waiting for her to wake up.

"When did I get in bed," she mumbled to herself, "Noir?"

"Yes" he answered.

Alice didn't jumped, she was too well trained for that thought the demon did have a habit of scaring her lifeless for his own amusement.

"Where are my clothes?" she asked.

"In the closet, the ones from last night were too bloodied to be saved," he told her, "want me to help you get dressed."

Noir stealthily slipped an arm around Alice's waist and sent to other hand up her shirt, she yelped and started beating him trying to get free, though it was to no avail. Noir laughed and pulled her down, "how about we play in the sheets for a bit" he muttered into her neck.

"I'd love to, really, but there's something we need to do that's more important," Alice said trying to push him away and not giggle at the same time, "I got some information on someone."

"Oh really, who could more important than my desires?" Noir asked.

"First of all everything is more important than that, second I found Edward," she said.

Noir dropped his hand and sat up, "where?" he asked.

"Not far from this town, he's posing as a butler," she said, "I can't wait to see him because it just sounds horribly amusing."

"Well then my dear Alice, what are we waiting for," Noir smirked.
