Chapter 4

Kizune's PoV

I glared at the stranger of whom I had just met. He was a demon, and that means he is a threat. I would not allow him to have the young Mistress. "And what are you here for? To make a contract?"

He smiled in a rather devious way, "Of course not, you see, I already have a contract. My master, the young lord Phantomhive." I gave a small grunt. That meant I would have to put up with the presence of another demon. I did not like that thought. However, I would have to endure it, for my mistress.

Perhaps he would not be annoying and let me be. I sighed and put on a smile.

"Thank you for your help, I very much appreciate it. Now, if you will excuse me, I must go tend to my young mistress." I bowed to him and left. I have to much to do, I cannot be worrying about him.

Anne's PoV

I descended the stairs, trying to find a familiar face. This big manor with few people seemed quite lonely, was Ciel all alone? It would be a shame for this beautiful place to not be shown to the world… Then I spotted, it appeared he had just arrived home. "Ciel!" I ran down to him and embraced him in a hug. "How have you been? It's been quite some time hasn't it?" I gave him my brightest smile, I must not show any sadness.

"Anne? You appeared to have arrived early…" I frowned. What was with that tone of voice.

"Aren't you happy to see your dear cousin? Why won't you smile?'

He frowned, "I am afraid I cannot smile. I have forgotten how."It was true because there, in the blue eyes, was a reflection of only sadness and anger. I felt my heart drop. Will I ever see him happy again?
