Harry POV

As we rode to the party I tried to think of why Sebastian would be so weak. I had no idea what it could be but that could be due to the fact that I hadn't spent much time here yet so I didn't know that much about what would affect a demons power level. I took little notice to the party we had now arrived at and took to standing away from the main crowd being the wall flower I was. I hadn't even danced at the Tri-wizard tournament ball except when I had to. From the corner I was in I could see Madame Red, Lau, Grell, Sebastian, and Ciel with out turning my head too much. I watched as the party continued on and as Ciel had to dance with Sebastian across the floor. I snickered lightly even though I knew or at least thought that Sebastian would hear it when the young Earl had to stop and get his breath back. Finally he was able to talk to Druit while Sebastian distracted the crowd with a 'magic' trick.

'Hm, that cost a dear amount of Power but now he is still letting of a stronger aura than before when he was dragging me along.' As if sensing my thoughts he walked over to where I was at.

"My don't you look like a lovely little wall flower? Tell me what has your mind held in such an iron grip tonight?"

"Just wondering what could cause someone like you to feel so...weak earlier. Yet you had plenty of power to pull of that little stunt of yours." He looked at me for a minute before sighing.

"Hadrian, I know about your statues. I have known it since I met you." I looked at him.

"You know that I am only half...demon?"

"Yes. I also know that there is another title that grants you a grand amount of power but I haven't the faintest idea what it is."

"Is that why you didn't feel that strong? Because you didn't want to hurt me?" I was slightly offended but still felt a warm tingle pass through me.

"You are someone that is very dear to me Hadrian... I- I must go now." He said quickly and with that he was gone. A pang of rejection went through me as I walked to Madame Red and informed her I would be leaving promptly. Once I made it to the mansion I changed into my normal garden clothes and walked outside to work in the garden to calm my nerves and my heart.

'It was probably that Ciel called him. That's it. He was going to say something and Ciel called him. He has to follow orders.' I thought to my self as I worked in the garden. A few hours later the rest of the group arrived and I quickly took the horses from them and put them in the stables where I took care of them and went back to the garden. I felt as Sebastian drew nearer as he had the strong force of a dominate demon which really wasn't that suprising. He was very powerful after all.

"Hadrian. I must apologize for having to leave so suddenly. The young master called me to him as I was about to tell you something important."

"Yes I figured as much. Now what was it that you were going to tell me?" I asked slightly.

"I was going to tell you that you are a very dear person to me and that I love you with all of my being." He said as he bent down to pull me into a strong embrace.

"Yes? Than perhaps I should tell you that I have similar affections for you." I said. Sebastian smirked down at me.

"That is excellent to know. Now perhaps you'll tell me what title you hold?"

"Oh if I must." I said with a slightly sarcastic tone. "My title is the master of death, I have control over shinigami to an extent. I mostly leave them alone unless one gets on my nerves. It also grants me the ability to use a death scythe and sense when a shinigami is near."

"Ah. That is quite the title. How did you obtain that?"

"As you know I am half demon. My father was from this realm while my mother from another. My father went to her realm as a young child and grew up as a wizard. My mum was a witch and when they met they fell in love. Skip a few years and I am twelve and I get a cloak from my dad that was from Death himself, his cloak of invisibility. Than a few years later when I was seventeen I got a stone that when spun thrice would bring back a person from the dead but they did not belong here. Finally I gained control of an unbeatable wand all three items were made by Death in that realm he gave them to three brothers who had used their magics to cheat him. It was said that who ever managed to get the three items and 'gain their trust' would become master of death. Mind you I believed it was just a title before I came to this realm and found out other wise."

"That is quite interesting. That means that you are a wizard than?" I nodded blushing when I realized that had slipped out. He gave another smirk.

"I do believe that there is something we must do to make our mate ship permanent." He said softly as he bite down on my ear lobe. All I could do was to nod. Just as he was about to do something he froze on spot and growled.

"If Ciel is calling you go. I understand." I gently pushed him off of me and towards the house. He complied and went into his master while I finished in the garden. Once I was done I went into the house to start dinner but before I got out of the foyer I saw something that shattered my heart completely and totally into a million pieces. There in front of the closed front doors was Sebastian but what had shattered my heart was the fact that the butler to Madame Red a disguised Shinigami, Grell was all over him and kissing him. I don't know what sound I made but it was that of an animal in pain a low heart broken whine that came from the back of my throat. Sebastian pushed away from Grell and started toward me.

END.
