A/N: Sorry this took so long, this chapter was actually done a while ago, but I wanted to post it at the same time as the 5th chapter, but clearly that isn't going to happen.

Thanks to Aservis Roturier for betaing this! And also to my biggest fan ever, Little Fausto's Lullaby(I think I spelled that right...?) I never thought any one could love this as much as she does.

To KuroHetaLove, long time no chat, eh? ;) P.M me Grell.

To Edward Love Elric, have you gone mad yet? ;)

Also if any of you can think of a summary of this story for me, I would love you forever. The current one is dreadful.

For the first time in his life, Ciel Phantomhive dreaded the visit of his raven. He had even gone to such measures as locking his window and shutting the blinds in hopes the raven would see these and leave.

Another silent sob racked through Ciels body, and he squeezed his fists even tighter. He could feel the sharp metal within them threatening to break his fragile skin. He hoped it would, he deserved that pain. How could he have let Madame Red break something so precious? Her shrill voice still echoed within his head. "Ungrateful brat! Where did you get this? You stole it didn't you!" A lone tear streamed down Ciels face.

"No... no, I didn't I swear!" He had protested, not that she had listened.

"I have given you a home and food, and this is how you repay me? By stealing?" The resounding 'crack' of her palm against his face filled the room. Followed by the heart-wrenching soundof his prized ring shattering on the hard floor. He had scrambled to grab the fragmented remains of the raven's gift and ran up stairs before Madame Red could scold him further.

A few more tears made their way down his face. He quickly wiped them away. He couldn't cry, he wouldn't cry. It was just a ring, it didn't hold any real significance. It was a pathetic thing to grieve over, but... What would the raven think when it found out? Would it feel offended, or mad? Surely it would hate him. Ciel couldn't handle that, the raven was the only one he had left.

He clutched his fists closer to his chest. His hands started to go numb from the force, sending little ecstatic buzzes racing throughout his skin. Any minute now the raven would show up, and Ciel's world would come crashing down- if it hadn't already. This precious ring was so graciously given by the one person(raven) that had ever bothered to care about him, and he had let it get destroyed.

'Tak' tak' 'tak' The raven had come. 'Tak' 'tak' Ciel curled farther into himself. 'Tak' 'tak' 'tak' The raven couldn't find out. 'Tak' "...You'll hate me..." His voice was barely a whisper, but the increased 'tak'ing on the window suggested the raven had still heard him. 'Tak' 'tak ''tak ''tak ''tak' 'tak''tak' 'tak' "Leave..." Ciel had meant to yell, but he choked on his own voice. He shut his eyes and buried his head within his knees. If he ignored the raven long enough it would be sure to leave.

Ten minutes of the rapidly increasing 'Tak's' started to disproved that hope. 'Taktaktak' Go away... 'Taktaktaktaktak' I'm so sorry... 'Taktaktaktaktaktaktaktak' I really am... Every time the 'tak's' increased Ciel subconsciously curled his fists tighter. It wasn't until he felt a warm liquid seep into his palms that he became aware of this action. Still he didn't stop. He deserved this pain, this misery.

After twenty torturous minutes the 'tak's' finally ceased. The raven must have left. Ciel couldn't stop a tear from escaping. It didn't matter that he had pleaded for the raven to leave, the absence of his friend still stung. Ciel transferred the newly-dyed-crimson remnants of the ring into his right hand before cautiously going to open the blinds. A vermillion stare met him from the other side of the glass.

To Be Continued...

A/N: Hate me yet? Yeah I hate me too. I did not want to end the chapter like this, but it was the best place to end it, and the 5th chapter is taking forever...

If this chapter just totally ruined the story for you, TELL ME DAMMIT. I am unsure of what I think of it. Maybe I can make like different realities. That would be fun.

Til next time, then.
