Sorry for the long wait guys. I've been visiting a friend in Oregon, and I haven't had acces to the internet. I will start updated regularly now. Please forgive me D:

DISCLAIMER! I do not own any Kuroshitsuki characters. I only own Aiko Hana, my own creation.

I waited patiently. Ladies were expected to be ever so fiminine and weak. Not at all like me.

I wasn't patient either. Never have been. Maybe that's because I wasn't used to having to wait.

I had no comrades, so what would be the point in waiting?

I tilted my head again, tapping my foot silently on the ground and listening.

I strained my ears believing for sure that I would hear him this time.

Maybe that's why I jumped again when he opened the door, ever so gentle. Ever so gracious.

A thin smile spread across his face, amusement.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to frighten you." He nodded slightly, still smiling.

"Lord Ciel has denied your request to see him. I am quite sorry." His eyes showed a slight longing.

Maybe he was catching on to me. Oh well. . . I've always wanted someone in on the secret.

"Is there anything else I can do for you." I almost forgot I was supposed to reply, I was to busy listening to his beautiful voice.

I blinked twice and narrowed my eyes, looking at him.

"Even if I asked for what I needed, I doubt you would comply."

I couldn't get over the trill of my voice. So fiminine. So. . . Compelling?

I smiled back at him- the same glint of amusement in my eyes that were in his.

"Very well then. I hope I'm not being rude. But what is you're name?"

I was caught by surprise again, taking in a quick bit of breath.

My Name? Yes. . . I have a name. But, I hadn't used it in so long.

My thoughts trailed off when he raised his eyebrow at me.

"Ah. My Name is Aiko Hana." A strange name, I know.

Aiko Means Beloved One, and Hana Means Flower. I don't know when I recieved this name.

But then again, I don't remember a lot of my past.

Time seems to fade memories. I sighed quietly.

"Oh." He was surprised this time, a glint of understanding now tainted his eyes. "I see."

". . . and my name is Sebastian. Though you seem to already know that."

"Hmm. You're quite the legend around here, though. Lord Ciel's faithful butler."

I was glad. I'm a good liar, so it was actually quite easy to come up with the little lie.

It was true enough, he was a legend around here. Always helping Ciel in his cases.

He laughed under his breath. "Yes, I suppose I am. Well, are you going to tell me what else you need, now?"

I sighed again and looked him straight in the eyes. "Food. . "

My words were curt and true. I needed food. Animals can sustain me, But I did prefer human food.

It was so much more. . .tastier? More flavorful? Either way. I prefered it.

"I think I may actually be able to do something about that. . " His voice trailed off and he looked me up and down.

I would blush, but I was more controlled than that. How else would I make it, in this world?

"Oh? You can? Than please, hurry. I don't mean to be rude. But I am quite starving." I was curious as to what he was going to feed me.

"Hmm. Than follow me." He turned around and waited for me to enter the door before closing it behind me.

I felt my heart tick. I knew a change was coming. But what?

He started walking down a long hallway. The house was extremely gorgeous.

Amazing decorations, extravagant furnature, and much more that I can't even explain.

He stopped at a door and opened it, gesturing for me to go inside. It was a bedroom.

Probablly no ones. I didn't see any sign of living in there.

There was a giant bed, with a brilliant red blanket on it. A dresser in the corner with a fresh rose placed in a vase. Complementing the coloring of the room.

A small table and chair were by the bed, probablly used for tea. But I wouldn't know.

I hadn't been in a humans house in a long time. And as I very well knew, time changed things.

"This is you're room. You are now a maid here. You're uniform is in the dresser, and daily meals will be provided for you."

He was radiating superiorness and that made me slightly mad.

I gritted my teeth together.

"I never agreed to-" His finger was on my lips, silencing me.

"Shh. It's really a very good deal. Besides. .You intrigue me, I want to see more of you."

I took a silent breath and spoke again,"Very Well. ."

He smiled and walked toward the door. "I'll come back in an hour. Please, do change."

I rolled my eyes and sighed. So I was really here now?

I did like Sebastian, so I guessed I would stay.

What's the word he used? Intruiged. Yes, Sebastian Intruigues me.

The skirt went a little past my knees. I wasn't used to this.

A Maid. I cringed slightly. I had never been good at following orders, but like Sebastian said, is was a good deal.

The outfit was pretty, but that didn't really matter to me.

I shifted my legs again, uncomfortable with the feel of the fabric. It was heavy. Heavier than usual clothing.

The weight of course wasn't a problem, but it did feel strange.

The house was beautiful, Sebastian showed me quite a lot of it, stopping every so often to tell me a fact or to.

He reminded me of the Tour Guides from the United States.

My home. It seemed to far away from here. Standing in England, Hearing England's news. It was all so strange.

But I was good with strange. It never bothered me.

He stopped at a garden on the outside where a boy with blonde hair was working on some weeds.

The boy grinned at Sebastian and spoke, his voice odd. "Sebastian! Who is this?"

Sebasian sighed, very quietly. "Her name is Aiko, and she is working here now. I actually have a request for you."

The boy nodded frantically and shouted,"Yes! What is it? I'll do anything!"

"Please show Ms. Aiko around for me. I have to attend to Ciel's food."

I stepped forward then"No.. I can do it myself. He doesn't have to bother himself. . I'm good at exploring."

Again, I smiled at the sound of my own voice. So musical. . So Catlike.

Sebastian turned to me, his eyes dripping of amusement. "If you wish, go ahead."

I nodded and turned back toward the house, Sebastian heading toward a different door.

So far I have seen a library, a guarden, the wash room, the kitchen, and many other various living rooms.

I walked slowly, not really looking at where I was going. I was too busy thinking.

How did this happen? This morning had started like any other. .

I was a bit uncomforable knowing that I wouldn't be able to transform any time soon.

It was saddening, really. I loved being in that form. So free, so fast, so wild. It was amazing.

I bumped into something than, a boy. I immidiatly recognized him for Lord Ciel and gasped.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I wasn't used to apologizing, but ladies are polite. "I didn't see you."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead then glared at me,". .You're the new maid. Aiko, correct?"

I was confused. I expeced him to be angry. "Yes, I'm Aiko. . Please, Forgive me."

Not that I was clumsy. Quite the opposite really.

He nodded and the anger drained from his face. He was odly. . . pretty.

I couldn't explain it any other way. He had an eye patch and raven hair. He was dressed in, of course, noble clothes that almost made his odd color of eyes to pop out.

"Yes, Yes, now go away. Get to work." His voice was demanding and bored.

My first reaction was to snap, but I controlled myself. Control was everything.

"Yes, My Lord."

I walked past him silently.

"Oh, and Aiko?" I froze.

"Yes, Ciel?" I turned around, only to see him looking at me intently.

"I know what you are." With that he turned and walked off.

I stopped breathing. He. . .what? 'I know what you are.' His words were haunting. .

How could he know that?

:D Review and tell me what you thing. Tell me what I need to improve, and please stick with me.
