Chapter 3

Sebastian made his way through the halls of the manor swiftly avoiding the three useless servants as he went. Raven sat in his arms silently with her head resting on his shoulder, looking forward. The butler stopped outside of Ciel's study and asked for permission to enter, due to the female in his arms he could not knock. A slightly annoyed, "Come in," sounded from the other side of the door. Raven reached one of her hands down and opened the door since Seabstian's hands were full. Once the door was fully open, Raven caught sight of Ciel at his desk, still doing the paperwork from earlier. Her eyes widened and she whispered, "Ciel..." in surpise.

That made Ciel look up from his papers. His breath caught as Sebastian sat Raven on her feet a few feet in front of Ciel's desk. "R-Raven...!" Ciel sprung out of his chair, tossing his "heartless little earl" act out the window completely. He ran around the desk and threw his arms around Raven's waist and buried his face in her stomach.

"You'll get your clothes dirty..." Raven said as she used one hand to run her fingers through Ciel's hair. "I don't care about my clothes right now." Ciel responded. A large smile appeared on Raven's face, catching Sebastian off guard (in a good way) as she had barely had any exression on her face since he found her. "Well if that's the case.." With that she nudged Ciel off of her, sat on the ground, and yanked Ciel into her arms. Her left hand resting on his back and her right hand on the back of Ciel's head. She then buried her face into his neck and clung to him as though he would disappear if she loosened her grip.

They stayed like that for a few minutes. Both being glad that the other was alive and trying to fit 2 years worth of love into a single hug. Raven pulled away slightly a put her hands on either side of Ciel's face to get a better look at him, "You're still as precious as I remember." She said, causing a small smile and a bright blush to appear on Ciel's face. That was when Ciel noticed that she was naked except for a sheet. He then quickly reverted back to his usual self. "U-um, Sebastian please get my sister bathed and in proper clothing. Once you've done that bring her back here and bring us some tea."

"Right away, young master." Sebastian bowed and reached his hand out for Raven to take. She gave Ciel a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "I've really missed you, little man." Then she took Sebastian's and started to walk out the door. Before they left, Ciel stopped then by saying, "Raven! I've uh... really missed you, too..." Raven smiled at him before continuing to walk out with Sebastian.
