Ok! I FINALLY got this up after like what...? A whole month of nothing. I'm so sorry it took so long! I've had a ton of schoolwork... One of the assignments I've had to type up though and it got me thinking of my story. And BOOM! Hit with the huge urge to write this! I'm so sorry it took so long and I'm so so so sorry if it's not very good. I think my writing style has changed a little... Anyway I hope you all like it! Again sorry it took so long!

I turned around only to find the other two demons barreling down on me. They were pissed…. And they were out for blood. Stupid stupid stupid! Master had always said don't let your guard down! And what I had I just done…? I let my guard down! Know where that got me? Dead!

Yup. I was so dead. There was no way I could move fast enough to dodge these giant monsters… I was gonna be trampled… Hell I could only wish to just be trampled! At least it would be over soon! These two… they were gonna torture me… I could see it in their eyes.

I closed my eyes tight. Why hadn't I listened to master better… Now I was gonna die. All his hard work… wasted! He'll hate me… He'll be glad I'm gone… Saying a final silent goodbye I waited for the blows to begin… I waited…..and waited…and waited….

What the heck was taking so long?! I know….they wanted me to open my eyes… wanted to see my terror. See the life leave them and watch as my bright blue orbs became dull… But if they truly wanted that wouldn't they just force me to open them already?

I thought about all the reasons why they were taking their time… Ya know what that got me? It got me into a state of not knowing what was going on so I didn't hear the two thuds as something fell to the ground. Nor did I hear the sound of footsteps approaching me.

Now I know just what you're thinking. You're thinking "You have to be the dumbest demoness alive. How are you still breathing?" Yup…that's gotta be it. Now I'll tell you how I'm still alive. Simply put, dumb luck. Only thing I can think of.

Anyway, I've gotten completely off track. Back to what's happening. Yea didn't notice any of that. But I did notice when someone's fingertips brushed my cheek. That jerked me out of my thoughts and caused me to step back. A man chuckled at that.

Wait a minute… A man chuckled… And it sounded NOTHING like how those brutes would. I doubt they were even possible of chuckling… But this chuckle made me feel…calm? Relaxed? Is that even possible? I have no idea…. But it did just that. Oh bloody hell that I live in… It couldn't be…

When I opened my eyes… he was there. My master. My eyes wandered passed him for only a second to see where the brutes were. I found them both crumpled on the ground. Honestly I couldn't even recognize them anymore… Master sure did a number on those two. Yikes…

"Master…" I breathed out in a small sigh of relief as my eyes returned to his shadowy frame. I was so happy to know I wouldn't be dying tonight… He smirked… I could feel that smirk and it comforted me.

"My sweet little girl." He said, cupping my cheek gently. Now after seeing what the hell he did to those monsters (who totally deserved it) you'd think I wouldn't want him touching me… Quite the opposite actually. I welcomed his touch. It calmed me more than anything in the world could. I closed my eyes and leaned into that welcoming hand. "Are you alright?" He asked after a moment of looking me over I'm sure.

"I'm fine, master. They didn't touch me." I responded. I opened my eyes to look at him as he chuckled once more.

"I know that they did not touch you. But that one did." He said as his red eyes glanced at the dead succubus.

"Oh… Right that one. She didn't really touch me much. Maybe cut a few hairs off," I said running a hand through my hair before continuing. "But that's probably the worst of the damage."

"Good. I am very proud of you. You didn't need my help with that thing. It proves our training really is paying off." He said, removing his hand from my cheek, much to my disappointment.

"Master… where have you been?" I asked, the curiosity killing me. Had he been to heaven? Not likely of course but with my imagination it's no wonder I thought that… Maybe he went to a demon lord… Or maybe he went to the deepest darkest part of hell that no demon ever dared to go! Really the possibilities were endless. I was imagining all these amazing and terrifying places where he could have gone to when he answered me.

"I've been to see a human, Kira." Hey notice that? He didn't call me his sweet little girl. Nope. He used my real name. But notice he said he was proud of me before. If he's proud he shouldn't be mad. And obviously he isn't disappointed. Something big was going down… I could tell. Or maybe I'm just over thinking things.

Wait! See a human? What human? Was it a girl? A boy? An heiress? Maybe a queen! Or was it a street rat… Maybe he really meant to say he was stealing a human's lost soul. Or did he really mean he saw a live human… And there goes my imagination again. Sorry! I know that must get annoying… Anyway moving on…

"What do you mean you saw a human?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"I mean just what I say." He then showed me his hand where a contract was clearly visible on the back of it. I wasn't sure what to say. "I have a master myself now, Kira. And you have a job."

….A job? What?

"A…job?" I asked uncertainly.

"Yes. You are going to be the Phantomhive household's loyal maid." He answered.

Me…? A maid…? This had to be a joke. ….Nope. No hint of a joke. Full dead on serious.

Well this should be fun…
