"Ok Pluto lets see what you already know." I smiled brightly, rolling up the sleeves of my button down white shirt. He barked and yipped with excitement, turning in circles with a huge smile on his pale features. Thank goodness I got him to at least put some old black short on without him ripping them off. "Ok Plu-plu, Sit!" I commanded in a stern voice. He sat down and looked proud of what he had done. "Good boy, Pluto!" I said with glee. We went through the basic commands that every dog should know; sit, lie down, stay, come, roll over. I wondered if he would follow the next command. I took a deep breathe and knelt down next to him and put my finger to my cheek, "Kiss." I stated. He cocked his head, his face a slight shade of pink and he stood up. He was so tall, well taller than me, but in all honesty must men are. He bent down to my height and smiled at me. What is he doing? Before I could question him, he grabbed my face with both hands and his lips collided with mine. For that moment I was in paradise, his lips were soft and they seemed to fit perfectly against mine. Pluto let me go and closed his eyes with an ecstatic look on his face.

I blinked a couple times before my legs gave out from under me, and I fell on my arse yet again. His eyes snapped open and his face fell to a look of worry. He whimpered as he made his way over to me. I looked up at him and gave a small laugh, "its ok, I only meant a kiss on the cheek is all." He bent down and nuzzled into my neck, coming back up he placed a light kiss of my cheek.

"Good boy." I said nervously patting him on the head. "Alright last one buddy." The sound of a carriage coming up the dirt path separated my thoughts from Pluto. The carriage stopped and a strange figure came out, I didn't really know what to make of it, from this far away it looked like a blob of grey and black, another figure emerged yet this one just red. "Hmm?" I was too deep in thought that I didn't realize Pluto's desperate pleas for attention, rubbing his head against my hand. His silky white hair brought me back to reality.

"Oh, right, sorry. Last one!" I said and he smiled brightly finally having my attention back. "Speak!" he cocked his head. I giggled slightly, but loud enough for the two visitors to hear. "Come on, Pluto, I know you can do it." He looked determined and opened his mouth. Before he could, someone tackled me "And whose this adorable little creature, Bassy?!" they said as the snuggled my face.

"Hehe, my name is Alli." I said trying to push the added weight off. "Please let go," I said breathlessly "you're squishing me."

Sebastian grabbed my attacker by his collar, affectively pealing him off, or her, know that I see their face, I can't really tell.

"But… But look at her! She's so cute." They squealed trying to run back to me, but Sebastian was holding them in mid air.

I tilted my head to see the man with grey hair, his bangs covering most of his face, and his clothing, a long black cloak that went straight down to his feet and covered almost all of his arms, he just looked so mysterious.

"Heehee, she is quite a sight, you're right about that Grell." The man stated his voice like silk, "I wonder if she'd look better in one of my coffins." I stiffened at the thought of this happening.

At that he walked over and put a long finger under my chin, making me look at him. "Surely when you die you'll need no makeup at all, my dear."

I smiled nervously, "t-thank you?"

"MINE!" we all heard a deep voice yell. I was shocked to see none of the men in front of me had spoken. I whipped around to see Pluto huffing and his cheeks ablaze.

"Pluto?" I tried to stay calm but my hands were still shaking from the touch of grey haired man.

He jumped in front of me and got into a defensive position "mine!" he stated looking between Sebastian and the other men. Grell crossed his arms "Why does get to have her?" he pouted. The grey haired man stepped closer with a wide smirk on his face.

"And what if I want to play with her," he stated amusement in his voice, "Sharing is caring after all." He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him, our bodies unbearably close together. I pushed against his chest "let me go, sir." I said calmly. He chuckled lightly as my face turned from the normal pale to a deep crimson. Pluto barked and growled as the man held me in place, he finally had enough and a giant wall of smoke appeared. He came out at full speed, making the ground tremble. I spun in the mans arms and held out my hands.

"PLUTO NO!" I yelled sternly. Pluto stopped in his tracks and landed with a thud on the ground, whimpering. I threw the mans hands off of my waist and walked over to Pluto.

"Bad boy, no, you don't attack unless I say so." I say coldly, looking him in the eyes. That is until he transformed back to his human form and tears started to bubble up in his eyes, he whimpered like a child who just got their favourite toy taken away. "T-That's not going to work." I stated crossing my arms over my chest. A tear escaped his eyes and he started sobbing lightly, head held low in shame. My lip started to quiver and I threw my arms over him, small tears running down my cheeks, "Pluto, I'm so sorry, please don't cry! I love you, you know that, don't you buddy?" he looked up at me; eyes full of sorrow, his hand lifted and wiped the tears from his left eye like a child would.

"Undertaker, you know better to come between a dog and its trainer." Sebastian said to the man. 'So that's his name' I thought holding Pluto in my arms, petting his hair. I placed a soft kiss on the top of his head and he nuzzled into my neck, smiling against my skin.

I heard a slight "hmp" from the undertaker as he crossed his arms.

"What? I can't touch her but the mutt can?!" he said defensively.

"I promised Sebastian I would try my hardest not to kill anyone in this home, Mister Undertaker." I said standing, "So I suggest that you go inside before you tempt me to break that promise." My fists clenched at my sides, I threw every word as if it was venom, my cold glare never leaving him as he turned and walked inside with Sebastian.

"Aww even when you're angry you're cute!" Grell said spinning on his heels. I pushed the stray pieces of black hair out of my face and looked at the strange person in front of me.

"I'm sorry for acting this way and I'm sorry you had to see it."

"It's perfectly fine my dear, you just proved yourself to be a feisty little thing! My name is Grell Sutcliff but you can just call me big sister if you wish." He said with a large smile that revealed his rather pointy teeth.

I laughed and nodded, "I think I will." He got closer to me and hugged me lightly "Because if anyone hurts little sister," he started, "They get to meet this baby." He pulled out a chainsaw and laughed evilly. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a squeeze, "Thanks big sis."

"No problem." He gave me a motherly smile and put the chainsaw back in his coat. He started toward the front doors of the mansion "And if he says anything bad about your little buddy I'll cut his head off." He chirped.

I turned back to Pluto and scratched his ear, "good boy"

I soon heard a loud crash coming from inside and saw Grell chasing the Undertaker past the front door. I laughed and sat down next to Pluto, "At least Ceil isn't home today. He would have panic attack if he saw all this." I smiled brightly when Pluto laid his head in my lap. I pet his hair and started to hum a melody that would always put children to sleep. He sighed contently, "At least I have you here." I whispered.
