Just as I commanded of him, Sebastian was back at the manor in time to open the door for me. "Lady _," he greeted with a bow, revealing the long list of suspects as I smiled. "Dinner is ready."

I nodded approvingly and began eating, but was interrupted by a loud, whinny, squeaky, "_!" I recognized the voice instantly, though it was easier to familiarize it to the name, "CIEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!"

"Lady Elizabeth?" I called.

She smiled and pinched my cheek annoyingly. "Oh _, you're just like Ciel! I already told you to call me Lizzy!"

"If you're here to see Ciel, then I'm sorry to disappoint you." I nearly growled, pulling away from her. "My brother took a vacation."

"I'm not here to see Ciel!" she giggled. "I'm here to see you!" This shocked me. "If I didn't give you a gift on your birthday, then what kind of future sister in-law would I be?!"

"You took the words right from my voice, Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian stated with a small bow and smile.

I looked at the two confusingly. "…What are you talking about?" I asked.

Elizabeth looked at me wide eyed as Sebastian wasn't fazed. "Lady _, your birthday is tomorrow. Do you not remember due to the recent excitement?"

I was caught between a rock and a hard place. The truth was that I forgot my birthday, as well as my age, in my years in the factory back in America, but Elizabeth would most likely find that hard to believe. Now being a lady of "noble birth", I had no excuse for not knowing my age, or the date of my birth. I gave Sebastian a look and he responded by smiling at Elizabeth. "May I ask what your plans are for coming?"

"I came here to give _ her birthday present!" she smiled as she presented the wrapped box in her hands, giving it to me.

I smiled at her kindly. "Elizabeth, as Sebastian said, my birthday isn't until tomorrow. Why give this to me tonight?"

"It's so you can enjoy it from the moment you wake up tomorrow morning of course!" she giggled.

I returned my gaze to the box and smiled warmly. "…There are no words to say other than…thank you." Elizabeth smiled again and urged me to open the box. Inside was a beautiful blue sapphire necklace with the Phantomhive symbol engraved in the stone. Small diamonds webbed out in a gorgeous pattern, linked by a silver chain. The diamond under the sapphire was carved to look like the head of a dog. The chain was just long enough so I could wear my scarf with it, but still show off its beauty. "The Phantomhive symbol?" I asked, looking at the stone before I smiled. "…In all these months that I've been a Phantomhive, not even Ciel accepted me enough to give me anything of the family."

"Well you should have something of the family!" Elizabeth argued. "You ARE family now!" With that, she gave me a hug and left.

Once she was gone, I turned to Sebastian. "I wonder how she WOULD know that tomorrow was my birthday…" I stated. "Not even I know the exact date."

"You are twelve years tomorrow, I assure you mistress." Sebastian stated.

"WHAT?!" Meyrin, Finnie, and Bardroy shouted, coming out from behind a pillar.

"Tomorrow is your birthday?!"

"I had no idea, I didn't!"

"If I knew, I would've baked you a cake!"

I huffed and turned to the butler. "Sebastian, did you tell her?" He nodded. "And, how do you know?"

With a smile, he simply said, "A little red bird told me." Instantly I knew what he was talking about. He somehow convinced Grell to tell him my birthday, and most likely much more about my past, but the only way I could think of that he would get that information out of him while he's still in so much trouble (His chainsaw was replaced with Kindergarten scissors, how much lower could you get?) is agreeing to do something such as go on a date…I shuddered at the thought.

With a huff, I glared at Sebastian. "I'm going to bed." I sneered. "Help me get ready, then you're free to do with the night as you please."

The butler bowed and smiled, giving his signature answer. "Of course my Lady."

"What?" the boy exclaimed.

The butler turned to him. "I promised her the Phantomhive name so that I can keep an eye on both of you at once, never needing to leave either of your sides."

"…Phantomhive…" I whispered before looking at the boy so desperate to kick me out. "You must be Ciel Phantomhive!"

"Yes, I am."

"Please don't kick me out!" I begged. "I'll stay as a servant! I'll be a maid! I'll do anything! Just please DON'T send me back to that factory!"

"Factory?" I nodded. "You're but a child, not even as old as me, what business would you have in a factory?"

"That's what they do in America." I answered. "No one can afford to live without everyone in the family going to work, and factories is the only way TO work!"

I explained my story as Ciel sighed and clutched his head. "Backwards Americans." He mumbled as he guided me off the bed, causing me to stand in front of him. "Sebastian is right, you DO need a family…and so do I…I suppose, for the time being, you can stay until your contract with my butler is fulfilled."

"What are we to tell Lady Elizabeth?" Sebastian asked.

"Tell her that Lady…what's your name?"

"_."

"Lady _ is my long lost little sister who was brought from the streets of France."

"Why France?" I asked. "Why not America?"

"France is much more believable." Ciel answered before he turned back to Sebastian. "Sebastian…get my little sister dressed, and cover that seal on her neck. I have work to do in town, and I can't show her around like that."
