Ok, so the previous chapter is chapter 4.5. NOT 45. Secondly, I'm sorry this took so long to publish! I will try to publish the next chapter by Saturday!

"Kill the girl." I spat out furiously at Sebastian. Honestly, how dare this insubordinate woman insult me like that! Doesn't she know who I am?

"Yes, my Lord." Sebastian readied himself.

"Hold on!" The other butler put his hand out in front of Sebastian. "You can't just go killing people! This is 2016! You would get arrested for something like this!"

"But why ever not?!" I yelled. "This lady insulted me! I shall not stand for this!"

"Though you do play the part of a, how should I put this, rather attractive young lady as well." Sebastian snickered.

"Sebastian, kill this - Oh wait…" I realized that Sebastian couldn't kill himself and my face reddened in both anger and humiliation. "How dare-" I began

"Simmer down, Ciel." Artemis casually said, his thin frame leaning against the doorway. "No need for you too get so worked up over a simple misunderstanding."

"But I have been mistaken for a girl! I will not stand for this insolence!"

"So?" The unusual fairy said. "What's wrong with being a girl? A girl can do just as much as any boy can!"

"How would you like to be mistaken for a boy!? I'm very sure you wouldn't like that!"

"I guess I wouldn't mind. Being a boy doesn't make a difference to me. It just helps me gain more opportunities. Our people are just like you. Think girls can do nothing and leave all the dirty work to the boys. But me and Arty worked together to change that. Thanks to him-."

"Arty and I." Artemis suddenly interrupted. "How many times do I have to correct you, Holly? Not 'me and Arty.'"

"Right, sure, whatever." Holly, I presume, replied. "Not like I care about grammar. Anyway, we saved the human race and then, a year later, I was the first female major. It doesn't matter what gender you are, so long as you can think you can then you will."

"I guess that's true, what with Mey-Rin and her incredible shooting skills . . ." I whispered under my breath. I heard a loud snicker next to me. Everyone turned to the owner of that snicker who was obviously, as I've known him for so long, Sebastian.

"What empty motivation." He sneered. "I thought that the only unreasonable species in the universe was the human race. I guess I've been proven wrong. The People have truly let their own kind down."

"I'm sorry, what?" Holly growled.

"Oh, nothing personal but right now, you're representing the People and you aren't doing a very good job of it. You're making them seem, no offense at all, thick."

"Your master wanted me dealt with? Well, you're gonna have to put up a fight with me because no way am I gonna live with such insults!"

"Right, that's enough." Artemis said serenely. A surprisingly serene statement. Not as rowdy as he was earlier though. Regardless, Sebastian and Holly stopped. "Holly, he's manipulating you, can't you get that through your soldier skull? Sebastian, you can't be serious about 'dealing with' her, can you? Ciel was seeing to this reasoning well as us 'humans' like to hear things like this. You and your demon thinking just makes you think of all beings as inferior. Demons like you can't understand feelings that humans desire. Hope, love, confidence, feeling like you fit in . . . A demon could never know how they feel."

"And us demons would prefer to never feel anything like that. Watching humans struggle to feel these things though . . . Disgusting. The things you people do to get what you want is beyond comprehension."

"So? I know we're all disgusting. At ten, I stole the last Silky Sifaka Lemur in existence and sold it to extinctionists to fund an expedition to the arctic circle. Though, 7 years after, I stole it from my past self to cure my sick mother. That was a trap though so I nearly did lose my mother. I kidnapped a fairy to get gold to fund the same expedition mentioned before. All to save my father. No human is a perfect human and a perfect human needs imperfections to be perfect. So insult us all you like because I know it's true." Sebastian was surprisingly startled by the response. Never had I met a person like Artemis. Apparently, neither had Sebastian.

"Well, aren't you a smart one?" He remarked. That was probably the worst comeback from him I'd ever heard. He was honestly stumped. At a total loss for words. This surprised me, Sebastian had always known, from the beginning, how to deal with almost any situation. Artemis was clearly a remarkable boy, or should I say, man.

"Being a smart ass can prove… useful." Artemis mused.

"Yes it can." Sebastian replied, as calmly as he could. Though only I, his master, would be able to notice the beads of sweat slowly forming across the back of his head. Artemis was going to be a formidable foe indeed, if we were to challenge him.
