Willow P.o.V

Light. Why is there light in my dark world of sleep? "Miss Willow it's time to wake up." Ah, that's why. I cracked open an eye and glared at the demon. "Go away…" I groaned and buried my head into my pillow. I heard a sigh from somewhere near my feet. 'Great…' He then torn the blankets from my body. I instantly curled into a ball. "You'll have to do better than that." I muttered. He didn't reply. I peeked out from under my pillow and found him at the other side of the bed from where I was. I glared at him and shook my head. He nodded and flipped the mattress. I clung to dear life as the bed turned on its side, my claws digging into the soft fabric. "If some other than I saw you like this they would think you are a cat." Sebastian said.

I snorted and glared at him from my sideways position. "Yeah, well I just so happen to be half cat-demon. And I'm not letting go." I turned my head into the mattress. I heard footsteps walk away and I grinned in victory. But it was not to last… I screamed as the mattress completed its flip. Landing right on top off me on the ground. "Get this off me!" I screamed. The mattress was lifted off me and I saw the smirking face of my (unfortunate) soul mate. I hissed and tackled him. We battled it out once again, but this time careful not to break any walls.

We stood on either side of the room, panting. I held a vase in my hands while Sebastian held a fire poker. "I *pant* hate *pant* you…" I gasped for air. "Likewise…" Sebastian glowered at me. We glared at each other for who knows how long until a knock came at my door. My eyes widened, as did the butler's. We set aside our fight for the moment and cleaned the room in less than a second. "Come in!" Mey-Rin walked in and saw how battered the we were. "U-um did I interrupt something…?" Yes. I was just going to beat his a-

"No you didn't, Miss Willow is just difficult to wake." I turned and glared at the demon. "You know, this is like the fifth time I have glared at you this morning and I've only been awake for 15 minutes." Sebastian shrugged. I still had the vase in my hands and chucked it at his head. He dodged it easily and it broke against the wall. Mey-Rin yelped and looked nervously between the us. "U-um, Miss Willow…? T-the Young m-master wanted to see you…" She stuttered.

I snapped her head away from Sebastian and to the maid. "Oh. Alright." I turned to the demon. "You. Out." I pointed to the door. His eyes narrowed but he complied. I kicked the door closed and turned to Mey-Rin, "Sorry 'bout that! We don't have the best relationship." I chuckled. I then turned to my dresser, which I had filled the previous night after we had our late dinner. I had met Azzurro Vanel when his lackeys tried to take Ciel. I quickly dispatched of them and the main rat. All by myself. Because a certain demon doesn't care that his master was almost kidnapped. Bastard.

I pulled out a black shirt with studs going down the sleeves from my dresser. Then a pair of black skinny jeans. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and fixed my messy hair. Some black eyeliner was applied then changed from my 'Nightmare before Christmas' pajamas to my new outfit. Today's theme is black!

Mey-Rin watched me as I went on with my daily routine. "Um… Can I help you?" I asked while tugging on my black combat boots. Mey-Rin snapped into reality and shook her head rapidly. I stared at her as I strapped on my studded belt and looped my swords onto them. "Ookayy….?" She looked at my clothes and had a perplexed look on her face. "Okay. What's up? You're lookin' at me like I'm crazy." I faced her with my hands on my hips. I looked right into her eyes and gave her 'The Look'. You know, the one your parents give you when they know you're lying.

"I-I don't mean to be rude, but your clothes are male clothes." I looked down at my outfit. "No it's not… Oh, wait… I guess it is in this time." Wow. I totally forgot I wasn't in the 21st century. Wooow… Thanks brain! "Well this is how people dress were I'm from." I don't know if I should tell her that I'm from the future, I should see if Ciel is fine with it first, they are his servants after all. Then again.. He'd probably be okay with it, saying "Do what you want. It's your secret to tell. It is no concern to me who you tell." Or something like that.. I decided I'll gather all the servants later and tell them.

"It's a lot easier to move 'round, y'know?" My American accent making an appearance. Mey-Rin nodded with a shadowed look on her face. "You know what it's like to wear things like this." I said not really as a question but as a comment. She looked up at me with a startled expression, "I do. But… how did you know?" Through her glasses I could see a guarded look in her eyes. I shrugged. "You have that look about you and I saw the odd face you had when I said these clothes are easier to move in." It wasn't a complete lie. "Anyway we should be gettin' to Ciel, I've kept him waitin' for too long." I walked to the door with Mey-Rin scrambling behind me. "Y-yes of course!" She stuttered. Onwards, to Ciel's study!

-_-_-_-Sniper Maid?-_-_-_-

"What are you wearing?" Ciel asked once I walked in.

"What are you wearing?" I shot back. His brow twitched. I chuckled and sat down in the chair in front of his desk. "Just joking with ya. But I'm here to help and protect you and I can't do that in a tight corset and a heavy dress, now can I?" I asked with a tilt of my head. He sighed and shook his head. "Fine, I will allow you to dress like that, but only within the grounds and not when we have guest, am I clear?" I nodded with a happy smile. "Crystal! So, what did you need me for?"

"Ah, yes. We will be having some guests tomorrow." Ciel said as he read over some documents. "I have invited the children from Count Barton's orphanage to visit the manor." So, we're going by both manga and anime, lovely. This is going to be confusing. "You're so nice Ciel!" I teased. He shot me a glare, "I only invited them so they could test my newest products."

I scoffed, "Yeah, okay…. I still think it's nice." I mumbled.

"What was that?" He asked with a hard look in his eye.

"What was-'' I was cut short by a loud boom. "That?" I modified my question. The sky had gone from a happy blue to a dark grey. "Stay here." I commanded as I ran out of the room with my hand on my swords. "Time to kick some as-"

"Miss Willow!" I looked down the stairs in the grand hall to see Finny running in through the front door.

"What is it?" I jumped down the stairs halfway down. He looked flustered and he was breathing fast. "Shh… It's okay. Take deep breaths. It's okay." I tried to calm him down but I guess he took too deep of breaths, for he passed out. I caught him and laid him down on the floor. I ran out the front door to find Sebastian and a black and teal haired guy locked in combat. He was familiar… Like I meet him from somewhere before. He was tall and had pale skin, almost as pale as Sebastian's. His eyes were a deep purple and his hair was shaggy. I know him from somewhere. "Where's Willow?!" A girl screamed from the sidelines. I hadn't even noticed her. And apparently she hadn't noticed me.

She had short orange hair. Her face was spotted with freckles and her eyes were like sapphires. She carried a sword on her hip, the one I gave her for her 17th birthday. She was shorter than me and younger. Her name was, "Kelly?!"

She turned to me and let a bright smile take place. "Willow!" She bounded over to me and leapt into my arms. I caught her with ease. "K-Kelly! What are you doing here?!" I questioned once I put her down.

"First can you call off the dog?" she pointed to Sebastian. I turned to look at the still fighting men.

"Sebastian! It's okay! They're friends!" He turned to us and eased up on his choke hold on the guy who looked so familiar. Once he let go the mystery guy kicked him in the gut making the demon go flying.

"Steven! Stop!" Kelly screamed at the man. "Steven?" I gasped when I remembered who he was. "Steven!? The same brat I saved from that vamp?" I had saved him from this vampire a year or so after I became a hunter. He was 13 at the time, but it's been 5 years since I last saw him. He was now taller than me. And he carried himself with a deadly grace of a Hybrid. Did I forget to mention that? Oops. Yeah, Steven's a Hybrid just like yours truly! But most Hybrids are taught to fight at three years but like some other Hybrids (me) he was raised as a human.

Steven turned to look at me and gave me a cheesy grin. "Hey, old woman!"

I scoffed and placed my hands on my hips. "Who you callin' old, brat?" We both had a stare down before he gave me a bear hug. "Gah! Can't breathe!" He laughed and set me down.

"Miss Willow? Who are these people?" Sebastian questioned as he walked up behind me, fixing his uniform. He kept a wary eye on Steven.

"Oh yes! This is Kelly and Steven. There friends of mine from my time…. Wait." I turned to Kelly. "How did you get here?" I narrowed my eyes as I stared her down. Kelly chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of her head.

"Well~ funny story~…"

I sighed. "You can tell me later, but first I need to check on Ciel. Sebastian, stop glaring at Steven." I sighed again and walked up the stairs into the manor. 'Aww, and here I was expecting a fight… too bad…' I grumbled to myself until we all go to the study.

I barged in without knocking, startling the little Earl. I walked around his desk and lifted him into a hug. "Willow! Wh-" His eyes were wide and he looked surprised.

"I'm protecting you, Idiot." I kept an eye on Kelly, She will snap in 3, 2, 1.

"AWWWW! You're so cute!" Kelly squealed like some Japanese fangirl that you see in manga. She flashed over to me and Ciel and attempted to rip him from my arms. I side-stepped letting Kelly fall face first. I set Ciel in his chair again, apologizing as I did so.

"Kelly." I glowered down at her. She shivered and retreated to hide behind Steven. "So scary…"

"Sorry 'bout that! Kelly has a problem with cute things, and cute people. You're lucky I know you're cute or Kelly would've gotten you." He blushed and waved it off coolly. "So you guys have things to talk about and I and going to make sweets for the little kiddies coming tomorrow! Ciel, you are 100% safe with these two, so don't worry." I skipped out of the room and made my way to the kitchen. I suddenly stopped, remembering something. "Ah! I forgot to ask Kelly how she got here!...Oh well!"
