A/N: well, Florida was interesting. I'm glad to be back. In Epcot I bought a bunch of Kuroshitsuji and Vampire Knight stuff let's just say I was VERY pleased *cough*squeeledlikeafangirlandspoke inJapanese*

Edit: So… my laptop broke. Just got it "Fixed" nope, still shitty. Whatever.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji

Sebastian walked up the main stair case of the Nottings' mansion. He had checked that the other three servants were doing their jobs. He was carrying Alana's breakfast tray in one hand and her day planner in the other. He knew his young mistress would not be happy with today's plans, nor tomorrow's. It was finally time for the start of fall term, and the girl had begun to bang her head into walls each day. Sebastian remembered the past night's events with amusement:

"Mistress Alana?" Sebastian walked into the living room where she was reading.

"Hm?" She replied without looking up.

"You have school in two days' time, you do realize this? I will take you supplies shopping tomorrow," He stood behind the couch she was lounging on.

"Excuse me one moment," Alana put her book down and walked over to the closest wall and began banging her head against it repeatedly.

Sebastian placed his hand between her forehead and the wall, "Did we not go over this yesterday and the days prior? Please do not injure yourself in foolish ways."

Alana glared at him, "I hate school, can't I just, you know, NOT go?"

Sebastian chuckled as he pushed her door open. He set the tray and planner on the dresser before strolling over to the bay windows and opening the curtains wide, "Good morning Young Mistress! Today's breakfast is a cheese crepe with orange juice. Today's plan consists of shopping for school and per your request, a jog around town."

"Sebastian," Alana's voice was muffled by the pillows and sheets she had piled over her head to keep the light out.

"Yes?" he replied.

"I hate you. It's too early." She rolled over and held the sheets tightly as her butler pried them from her grasp. Once he had pulled every sheet and blanket from the bed, Alana lay flat and stared at him.

"Well hello there," Sebastian smiled at her and set her breakfast on her lap, "Would you like me to ready your outfit?"

"Blue skinny jeans, red tank top, socks, and high tops please. Also, can you take out black cloth shorts and a purple work out tank with my black and purple tennis shoes?" Alana savored the crepe she was devouring. She loved the way the cheese melted in her mouth.

Sebastian took out the requested clothing and placed them in two piles on her dresser. When Alana finished eating, Sebastian took her tray and went to put it in the kitchen. Alana got dressed and grabbed her purse before heading down. She passed Darren in the hall and paused to cover his eyes.

"Morning Miss Alana, glad to see you're in high spirits today," He laughed and pulled her hands from his face and looked down into her eyes. Since Alana had returned home, she and Darren spent more time together than normally thought of a head of house and her man servant.

"High spirits, sure sure. I'll see you when I get back," Alana patted his shoulder before sliding down the stairs, "I'm ready!" she called out.

Sebastian appeared and opened the front door for her, "Is the Ashton Martin is suitable?" he asked.

She peered out the doors and smiled, "Only if I drive," the Martin was the car her father had bought for her birthday, in preparation for her license she was about to get.

"It is not proper for a butler to let his master drive if he if with. Speaking of driving, you have your test on Friday," Sebastian smiled at her.

"You scheduled it for me? No way!" Alana became extremely excited, "That's only three days away! Thank you so much!" She ran forward and hugged him tightly.

"I wanted to make sure you got to do everything you've ever wanted before your time is up," His eyes turned serious as he patted her head.

"Right," Alana pulled away and headed toward the car, "To the store."

"Yes, my lady" He held the door open for her and she jumped in. Alana pulled down the top of the convertible and smiled. Sebastian situated himself behind the wheel and inserted the key. The car purred to life and Alana was instantly reaching to pop in a CD.

"Music!" She yelled as they pulled out, "Can't live without it," she flipped through the numbers before settling on a song about getting drunk at a club.

The butler looked over at her as she belted out the lyrics in a talking voice, "This is what you listen to?"

"Yes, it may not be best for my voice, but I love it. There's a lot you have yet to know about me," Alana smirked.

"Then I hope to learn," he replied.

"By the way, I'm going to a party tonight. That's why I'm in a good mood. Here's the thing, you can't come," Her voice dropped a bit at the end.

"The order you gave me?" Sebastian raised his eyebrow skeptically.

"Only when I say you absolutely cannot follow me. Also, no following at school, because that's a school rule," Alana changed the song.

"I have that taken care of. As for tonight, you will notice your speed dial on your phone is reprogramed at the number one. It is my cellphone number. I have bought one just for your convenience of an easy call. Just dial if you need me," He pulled into the parking lot of the mall.

"Will do." She smiled and allowed him to put the top up on the convertible. She hiked her purse on her shoulder and the two of them walked into the giant mall together.

"I'm pretty sure you won't need any outfits," He mused as they walked through the store and into the belly of the mall.

"I don't, but you do! There's no reason to wear a coat and tails except to a lavish event! We need to change your look," She laughed as they passed the dressing rooms and Alana pushed Sebastian in.

"Young Mistress, there is really no need to-"Sebastian was cut off as Alana threw in a bundle of cloths at him.

"Try them on and model them for me," Alana called as she sat in a chair and pulled out her cell. She texted a number she hadn't texted in over a year.

Sent: Hey, it's A.N. tonight still one of those nights?

Alana was extremely pleased to hear her phone buzz in a matter of seconds.

Received: Long time no contact. Yea, why?

Sent: Add one more to the list.

Received: You coming back?!

Sent: Yes

Received: What changed your mind?

Alana debated sending a long text explaining everything, but there wasn't time.

Sent: Long story, will tell you tonight.

Received: Alright, glad to have you back. I'll make sure tonight is special for ya! Will meet you Bank's E.O.S party and bring you down.

Sent: thx

She slipped her cell into her back pocket as Sebastian walked out in the first outfit. It was a pair of black jeans and a dark gray polo shirt.

"This isn't quit what I'm used to," He pulled the shirt out from him and let it fall back.

"I'll be buying seven pairs of jeans and fourteen shirts," Alana told the store worker who had come to help. She handed the woman the store card from her wallet, "Last name Nottings. Card history will tell you what to do."

"Yes mam," The woman walked away to scan the card.

"May I change back?" Sebastian asked.

"Nope, you're wearing that for the rest of the day," Alana looked over her shoulder as the woman came back, "Thank you so much."

"It's no problem at all Miss Alana. Everything is set for your visit today; it is nice to have you shopping at the mall again. Have a great day!" The woman handed over the card and smiled.

Alana and Sebastian walked through the mall together until they approached one of Alana's favorite stores.

"What is this store exactly?" The demon asked as they walked into the dark store.

"It's emo, Goth, and alternative heaven. All of my favorite bands' merch can be found here. Along with anything dark you can think of. The school section is in the back. I want to get stuff that will make me happy. I'm done playing in my family's shadow. I've been lying to you. I'm not a perfect queen I was brought up to be. I'm disobedient, a rebel, and I do bad things. Well... I did…. Last summer my brother pulled me out of it and made me the girl you met, but the pain of not having that rock, I can't do it. I'm sorry," She turned her head and pushed back tears.

Sebastian ruffled her hair, "I know."

Alana whipped around and stared at him, wide eyed, "Excuse me?"

"You think I didn't look into everything about you and your family? I only ask you questions and such as a matter of formality. I know everything. I know the reason why you do not want me to go to the party with you tonight is because you are meeting your old buddy and you are going down to the place known as UnderGround."

Alana glared at the demon, her blue eyes hinting at betrayal, "You can't stop me."

"I wouldn't dream of it. I just ask that you not be too reckless tonight," Sebastian held his hand out in promise. Alana gently took it and shook. She would attempt to be careful. She found class supplies with her favorite band, Red to Black, on them. She smiled as she bought them and sent them off. They silently walked around the mall and purchased items. When they passed the piercing parlor Alana couldn't help but stare in for a while.

"Do you think I could get piercings and tattoos now? Even without permission since I'm emancipated?" She asked.

"Yes, you can. What were you thinking?" he answered.

"Well, I want to get my cartilage pierced with a wrap around and," she paused, "I want to get a tattoo dedicated to my parents and brother."

Sebastian nodded, "That sounds wonderful. Why don't you get pierced today and we can go to the tattoo place and get consulted on the weekend?"

Alana smiled, "Great! Thanks so much."

They walked into the parlor and she picked a wraparound that looked like a snake was weaving itself around and down her ear. It was made of black metal with ruby eyes and an emerald tongue. She didn't even flinch when the needle went through her ear.

Once they left the shop, Sebastian leaned down to inspect her ear. It was still warm and his cool fingers felt amazing on the hot flesh, "They did a nice job," he whispered. She shivered slightly at his cool touch. Looking over his shoulder she saw a strange boy. He looked directly at her and gave her such a look of hate. Alana stumbled forward.

"What is it, my lady?" Sebastian asked as he stood her up right.

"That boy! Did you see him? His gave me such a look of loathing. I cannot explain why. His clothing was a bit off too, seemingly from Victorian England. Kind of like you…." As soon as the final word left her mouth, he was gone from in front of her. In the second it took her mind to process this, he was back.

"I saw no one," He whispered and began leading her away.

"I'm not on anything, he was there!" Alana looked behind her, "Why are we leaving so fast?" she stopped for a moment and saw something in her butler's eye, "You know something."

Sebastian grabbed her arm and pulled her along, "I have an idea that I will not divulge my theory until I have more information."

Alana nodded and clasped her hand around his wrist as he led her to the front of the mall. He picked up all her bags at the checkout center. As they hurried to the car he looked around him carefully. When they got to the car, Sebastian pulled the top on and made sure Alana was safely inside. He sped toward the mansion in silence.

"Sooo…" Alana started, "Does this affect me going to the parties?"

Sebastian looked down at her, "What if I said yes?"

"I'll sneak out," She smirked.

"And If I tail you and bring you back?"

"I'll keep sneaking out," She huffed.

"Then you can go," he said as they pulled up, "did you still want to go on your run?"

"Yes, but you'll follow me, won't you?" She asked as she got out of the car.

"Actually," the demon smiled, "I was thinking of sending Darren out with you."

Alana almost missed the first step in front of the house, "W-what?" she stuttered.

"I noticed how you two have been talking," He laughed as he opened the door for her.

Alana rushed inside, "You are dismissed," she ran upstairs toward her room. She saw Darren and stopped, "Get changed, you're going running with me since Sebastian has work to do. Meet me in the foyer in fifteen minutes," she continued to her room. She slammed her door shut behind her when she entered her room, "Damn demon," she breathed. Alana stripped off her outfit and pulled on her workout cloths. She pulled her hair up and wrapped a hair tie around it tightly in a ponytail. She grabbed her MP3 from its stand and placed it in the armband holder. The band fit on her arm snuggly, as it always had. She plugged in her headphones and placed one bud in her right ear. As she finished she headed downstairs.

Alana's breath caught in her throat when she saw Darren in his muscle shirt, "Hey."

He turned slowly and smiled at her, "Hello Miss," He held his hand out to her, "shall we go?"

As Alana took his hand, a spark seemed to pass between them. She jerked away a bit and he smirked, "It seems no matter how rich a girl is, she can't resist the beauty of a boy. Or is it the fact it is forbidden for a love to exist that sends a thrill down her spine? I shall never know-"

"As long as a heart is content to follow the path that breaks it most," Alana finished as they walked outside the front gates, "You've read Misha and can quote it?"

"Of course. Now, care to jog?" He began to run slowly and she shot off to keep up. Within a short time, she past him up and he began to chase her. Witty banter of who was faster flowed breathlessly between the two and without either of them knowing it; they began to fall for each other.

Alana surged forward and looked behind her to taunt Darren; she did not notice the crack in the sidewalk. As she fell, he moved with inhuman speed and caught her mid fall. He wrapped himself around her as they hit the ground and rolled.

"Are you alright?" He asked quickly, letting her set herself right. She stared into his eyes for what seemed forever, "Alana?" She put a finger to his lips and touched his temple, where there was a bruise. He winced slightly and she leaned up to kiss it.

Suddenly, Alana realized what was going on when Darren cupped her face. She pulled away and jumped up.

"I-I….. Can't." She began to turn and run toward the mansion.

"Miss Nottings!" Darren ran after her and grabbed her wrist.

She turned, frightened and looked at the ground. That moment of intimacy was wrong of her, "Hm?"

Darren pulled her hand to her eyes, "You scrapped yourself." They walked back to the mansion in silence, Darren holding Alana's wrist. When they went to cross a street, Alana got a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She looked around and noticed the boy from the mall. Her heart stopped from a moment and she flicked her wrist so she had Darren's hand. In one movement she pulled him in front of her and urged him to move faster. He didn't ask questions.

As the two reached the mansion, Alana released Darren and ran up the steps. "Sebastian!" she called.

"Yes?" He appeared next to her as they walked to her room.

"I saw the boy again. On the corner of Oak and Bird. Go" She ordered.

"Yes, my lady." And with that, he was gone.

A/N: Sorry that took so long! I know, it's not very good, but it should get better. But, school is starting soon :/ sucky. I pretty much guess you all have figured out who the boy is XD anyways… until next time!
