I think this is going to be the last chapter for this weekend. I'll update sometime further along the week. I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint too many people because I'm not exactly sure how Ciel will react. I also think I'll be doing the Houndsville arc next. If I get enough objections I'll skip that and go straight the the Curry arc. That's my fave.

I don't own Kuroshitsuji.

Enjoy!

Sebastian was a skilled opponent; no wonder other people haven't caught him. Not only that, he was also fighting me only in his human form. Of course I was fighting in my human form, which was quite limiting, but I still shuddered at the thought of going against him in his entire demon galore.

Sometime in the night I must have fallen asleep, which surprised me because I hadn't realized just how draining that fight with Sebastian was. When I woke up again, I realized I was still in my torn and tattered stress, which was a shame because it was brand new. I quickly changed out of it and put something else on. Then I went downstairs to check for any new telegrams.

As expected, I was accepted into the hospital to replace Ms. Dulles or Madame Red as they had called her. Madame Red, how fitting, I thought as I recalled her blood red outfit that was stained literally blood red. I was also to report to work in half an hour. I brushed my hair and tied it back with a ribbon. Then I was on my way.

The morning was as expected. They showed me around the facility and gave me a list of my patients and their diagnosis. The only news that interested me was that a certain patron was coming to visit me. I pretended to be nervous and fussed over my appearance. They readily reassured and left me in my office.

As soon as they left I pulled out the medical files. I wasn't surprised to find that of the many patients that were to be under my care, Ciel Phantomhive was one of them. I was still looking through his file when I heard the knock on the door. With a swipe of my hand, I put everything back in place.

"Come in." I answered and stood up out immediately.

Ciel Phantomhive walks in with Sebastian at the door. Sebastian stayed behind the door. His eyes flickered at me but that was all. Other than that he showed no signs of recognition.

"Lorena Farrell," said Ciel importantly, "I hope you do realize that it was I who went through your application and accepted you."

"I'm exceedingly grateful, Earl Phantomhive." I said suppressing a smirk, "Please have a seat."

Ciel marched towards the chair and motioned for me to sit. Such a gentleman, I thought amusedly. As soon as I was seated he sat as well.

"I'm here today to discuss my expectations from you as my medical provider." he said with a look of seriousness that didn't match his age, "as you know your predecessor, Madame Red, was my aunt therefore I had no doubt about her knowledge in medicine. I trusted her completely. I do hope I could say the same about you."

I raised my eyes at that comment as I recalled how she tried to kill him. Things must have smoothed over since he was indeed talking nicely about her.

"Yes, of course Earl Phantomhive," I replied smiling pleasantly, "after all, I've had years of practice."

His eyebrows furrowed at that comment. "Pardon my saying so, but you do seem familiar. Are you perhaps…forget it." And he trailed off.

"Ciel Phantomhive, the Lady Farrell you met with yesterday never did offer you her first name did she?" I asked grinning widely.

His eyes widened in astonishment. I stood up while untying my ribbon and then I took my glasses off. As my hair fell around my shoulders I looked at him and said "Nice seeing you again Earl Phantomhive, I did say we will meet again didn't I?"

He stared at me some more but then regained his posture. "Lady Farrell, or are should I even call you that?" he said crossing his arms and swinging one leg over the other, "I must say I hadn't expected that we would meet again so soon. Allow me to reiterate this, you will faithfully serve me as my doctor or the consequences will be severe. Isn't that right Sebastian?" He flashed a sinister smile.

"Indeed, my lord." Sebastian answered.

I glanced up at his butler but he showed no signs of hostility.

"You're talking about that intimidating butler of yours I suppose?" I asked still amused, "I do hope we will get along because, after all, we are going to be together quite often."

Ciel glared at me, "What are you?" he demanded, "and exactly what business do you have with me?"

I let out an exaggerated sigh and sat back down, "Why do both of you assume that my interest is in you? Aren't you a little self-centered?" I teased.

"What do you mean by both of you?" he demanded and turned towards Sebastian, "have you made any acquaintance with her?"

"I have in fact" answered Sebastian, "she did seem a little suspicious yesterday so I decided to investigate her."

"Yes we are well acquainted, and as for your first question. What am I?" I said leaning across the table, "Let's just say I'll be your guardian angel."

Sebastian was still glaring at me when Ciel turned towards him, "An Angel? What business does she have with you?" He demanded.

The butler sighed, "It seemed that she wanted to become one of your precious pawn pieces in your scheme for revenge." He shot a smirk at me.

I leaned back into my chair and crossed my arm feigning dissatisfaction, "Not exactly how I would have put it but basically."

"And what do you wish to achieve in this?" asked Ciel skeptically.

"You're devilish butler owes me a few decades of punishment after causing an incident in which numerous lives were lost." I explained, "actually that wasn't all he did but that was reason enough to make him pay for the countless other grievances that he had caused me. As of right now, you are inconveniently holding him back with this contract and I don't wish to kill you so I decided to help you achieve your goal so the contract could be over faster."

Ciel thought about this for a moment. He wasn't as surprised as I had thought he would be but I guess that's what happens when you have a demon for a butler. "In that case, I accept your offer." he said finally, "but first I challenge you to another game of chess."

"You sure?" I asked and he nodded, "Well then I suppose I won't decline."
