"Katie, we should learn self-defense!" Candice grinned as she peered down at me. I was lying on my bed, reading a book, and I let out a sigh as I thought about it.

"I don't know, Can. I doesn't seem like I would need to use it, so it would be a waste of time."

"Don't say that! You never know when it could come in handy!"

"Alright, alright. I'll take them with you."

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the dark room I was staying in, and a slight frown formed along my lips.

I think I'm going to go see Can.

I let out a tired sigh as swung my legs over the bed and slipped on my slippers, while I grabbed a lit candle. Once the slippers were securely on, I stood up and walked out of the room, and headed for the room Candice was staying in.

"Ne, Can~" I called softly through the door as I knocked on it. I waited a moment for an answer, and lightly bit my bottom lip in anticipation. "Can?" I called softly again as I knocked on the door once more, harder this time. When I didn't get an answer again, I burst through the door and stared around the room, but there was no trace of her anywhere.

Where could she have-

The sound of horses whinnying sounded outside, and I quickly ran to the window, only to notice her getting into a carriage.

"CANDICE!" I screamed in hopes she would hear me , but she didn't. I watched briefly as Sebastian loaded the carriage with some luggage for her, and I watched as the carriage door closed once she was inside. I swiftly turned on my heels and ran out of the room, and headed straight for the front door. I raced passed Ciel, who stared after me in surprised, and I ran into the railing that went across the middle of the hall and lined the stairs.

The stairs will take too long…

I took a few steps back from the railing and took a deep breath, then ran at the railing again, rested my right hand on it, and hoisted my body over it. As soon as I landed on the floor, I darted to the front door, swung the doors open, and ran to the carriage just before it started to pull away.

"Candice!" I called as I swung the carriage door open and stared up at her.

"Kate?" She asked as she stared down at me in surprise.

"Are you leaving?!"

"Yes, I am. I'm going to stay with Lizzy for a few months~" She smiled at the blonde sitting across from her, and I looked between the two.

"Miss, you best be off, before it gets too late." Sebastian said beside me, which caused me to jump and look up at him.

"Don't do that!" I shouted a little annoyed.

"Do what?" He asked with an innocent look.

"Sneak up on me!" I glowered at him and let out a sigh, then looked back up at Candice. "Will I see you again soon?"

"Yes, I'll stop here to check on you, and make sure you're behaving like the good little Kitter-Kat I know you are." She teased and I laughed softly at the nickname.

"Ne, do you have to always call me that?" I teased softly.

"No, but I'm going to anyway. It's cute~" I nodded a little and smiled up at her.

"Well, I won't keep you any longer. Have a safe trip to Lady Elizabeth's manner~" I said and curtsied to Elizabeth just before I closed the carriage door and waved as they pulled away and vanished in the distance. I covered my mouth as I let out a soft yawn and stretched once the yawn was finished. "I'm going to make some tea. Would you like some, Sebastian?" He looked at me out of the corner of his eye with a blank look.

"No, thank you." I shrugged and smiled as I turned around and headed back inside.

"Your loss~" I sang softly as I headed straight for the kitchen.

As I sat down for my cup of tea, the sun began to rise, and glistened its' golden fingers across the trees. I smiled a little and stood up again.

It must be 6. Time for some chores~

I walked out of the kitchen and hurried up to my room with the cup of tea still in my hands. I brought the cup to my nose and smelled the fragrant aroma that emitted from the tea, and closed my eyes a little as I enjoyed it.

"You're not supposed to take dishes from the kitchen." Sebastian scolded as I began to walk past him.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll return it once I'm finished. Besides," I looked at him over my shoulder and winked at him. "I doubt Baldroy will even notice it's gone~" She frowned at me and I grinned back, then walked into my room and closed the door softly behind me.

Sebastian frowned deeply once the door closed behind her, and he started to make his way down the hall and to his Masters room again. He opened the door and walked inside.

"Master, it is time to wake up." He said softly as he walked over to the curtains and pulled them apart, so the suns' rays could wraps its' bright yellow fingers around Ciel. He groaned softly as he rolled over in bed, then slowly sat up and blinked a few times as a yawn slipped through his lips.

"Sebastian, is the carriage ready?"

"Yes, My Lord."

"Good." Sebastian walked over to the bed and started getting the boy dressed.

"My Lord, I have assembled all of the possible suspects for the Jack the Ripper case." He said as he finished buttoning Ciels' jacket and stood up.

"Very well, we shall go over them during breakfast."

"Yes, My Lord." And with a bow, Sebastian was gone.

"Oh, Ciel~" A high pitched voice sounded from downstairs, and I covered my ears.

"Ugh, this morning just has to consist of that annoying voice shouting that stupid name?!" I shouted, and walked down the stairs just in time to see Ciel gently take Lizzys' hand and place a soft kiss on it.

"Lizzy, what an unexpected surprise." Ciel muttered as he straightened and looked back at Lizzy.

"Oh, Ciel~ I came, because I want to throw a ball!" She said happily.

"Oh, no. Not another one!" I groaned softly.

"Another one?" Ciel asked and glanced at me.

"Kitter-Kat!"

"Can!" Candice and I yelled and hugged each other tightly. "I thought you were going to go to Lady Elizabeths' for a few months!"

"I am, I am! My Lady wishes to throw a ball here, though, so we came back!"

"Actually, it was your idea, Candice!" Elizabeth smiled at the two of us, and I looked up at Candice a little annoyed.

"You know how I feel about balls!" I whined a little.

"I'm sorry, Kitter-Kat."

"No, you're not!" I teased a little and gently nudged her."You're never sorry."

"That's a lie! I'm always sorry!"

"Hmm? No, I don't think you are. I think you just pretend to be." I taunt and giggle when she starts pouting. "Nyawe~ You look so cute~" I hugged her and laughed softly. "I suppose we best be preparing for the ball, ne, Sebastian?" I asked as I looked up at him, and got a nod in response.

"Yay~ We're having the ball!" Lizzy cheered excitedly.

"Yeah, great…" I muttered as I turned around and walked toward the kitchen to tell the others what's going on.
