Disclaimer: Yes,yes. I know. Yana Toboso is the rightful owner of the series of Kuroshitsuji. And to all of you wondering about this thing about 'rare soul', that will be answered at chapter 12 or 13... BTW: Happy mother's day! :-D I actually meant to post this chapter yesterday, on mother's day, but my computer wasn't exactly agreeing with me.

Kandi's POV

When I came in, Ciel said "You actually followed directions this time." I nodded my head and set down his food, and the time was 2:45. "Bocchan?" "Hmm?" said Ciel, sounding bored.

"May I leave for a bit?"

"Where are you going?"

"Why do you care?"

"Very well. Be back in 2 hours."

"Yes my lord!" then, I skipped out of his room with a smile.

Walking to my room...

"Kandi, you have gotten another package from the Trancy residence." Sebastian handed me a medium-sized box, and walked away. I opened the package and a note fell out saying 'I'm sorry for the late package. I hope you enjoy the present. -Alois Trancy'

After reading the note, there was a gothic-style black and red dress. It was beautiful. Black ruffles trimming the waistline, and streaming from the waistline was dark,silky-feeling ruffles,black satin top, and odd, but beautiful patterns that looked like spiderweb silk down the flow of the dress. Then, under the dress, there was a pair of black silk gloves.

10 minutes of changing later...

I let my hair down loose, and braided it, adding my flowerclip in the back. The flowerclip semi-matched beecause it had a single white lily, and fake gems studded at the bottom. I pulled on the gloves quickly, and there was a knock on the door. I heard Ciel call to Sebastian to open it. Glancing at the clock, it read 3:01. I heard Sebastian say "What are you doing here without your young master?" Then, I heard Claude say "I am here to get someone that my young master requested." Ciel heard the commotion and looked down the stairs. "Hurry up; this is distracting." I walked out of my room, and to the top of the stairwell. Ciel looked me over. He left and went back to his room.

Claude saw me at the top of the stairwell, and said "I am sorry that I was late. I represent the Trancy manor, Claude-" "Yes, yes. Claude Faustus, Alois Trancy, Hannah Anofeloz, the triplets, and so-on." I looked up at Claude's face, studying the calmness of his eyes. "Shall we go then?" "Ok, let's go." I waved to Sebastian, and a pure look of disgust covered his face when Claude grabbed my hand and went out the door.

Claude's POV

I escorted her into the carridge.

It was no wonder why Alois wanted this particular girl. Her hair gleamed brightly, unlike most of the noble girls, was overly beautiful for a human, or so I think... "Hellooo? Are you dreaming about that Phantombrat again?" she asked, and waved her hands in front of my face. Phantombrat? "I do not know what you are talking about." I replied, as calm as I could muster. "Oh Claude don't you lie." her tone suddenly went from cheery, to dark.

"Excuse me?"

"It's not like everyday there's a soul as rare as that... Especially rare when it's in such a beautiful body like Ciel's..."

I raised my eyebrows at her. How did she know? I decided to keep my mouth shut, afterall, this is after all, a Phantomhive servant.

Kandi's POV

I didn't know what I was doing. Manipulating a demon? I was crossing the line this time, and didn't care.

"You know.. There is a way you could have him.. But I don't know if you're worthy enough.."

Claude's eyes narrowed to slits. "Hey, don't go all transformy on me right now, we're here."

I opened the carridge door by myself, and landed gracefully on my feet without dirtying my dress. Claude stepped out too, and escorted me to the front door of the Trancy manor. Alois must of been watching the whole time, because he energeticly pulled upen the door and hugged me tightly. "Hello, Alois." "OH NO! HAS CIEL'S BORING-NESS RUBBED OFF ON YOU!?" I cleared my throat, and with equal energy, I replied "NO, OF COURSE NOT! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!" Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Claude with a faint semi-smile-smirk.

Alois linked arms with me and ran into the manor. Suddenly, his eyes averted to my dress. "You look lovely." I nodded, and blusing, I replied, "Thank you, Alois." The truth was, even though Alois was the most odd in my opinion from the series, and also the most insane, I liked him. His past was just about as dark as Ciel's, and plus, he wasn't always so.. Boring. Alois was actually among my favorite characters, and I managed to lie about that to Ciel with ease. He grabbed my hand and led me up the stairwell. Opening his bedroom door, he led me inside.

Motioning for me to sit down, I sat in a red armchair. Alois asked "So how's it going working for Ciel?" "How do you know, Alois?" "I sent Claude to find out information." I smirked and said "Stalker." Alois pouted and said "But I wanna know more about you." "About me?" Hmm. No one ever asked about me before.

2 hours later...

"Oh no!" I glanced at the clock, and I was supposed to be back at the Phantomhive manor by now. "What?" yawned Alois. "I need to get back to the Phantomhive manor. I'm late!" "Don't worry, I'll send a carrige for you. Claude!" Alois ordered Claude to take me back to the Phantomhive manor, and so he escorted me outside. The trip back to Ciel's manor was wordless, and I thanked Claude after getting off.

When I got to the front door, Sebastian greeted me and said, "Bocchan would like to see you."

Author's note: CLIFFHANGER! Yes, I know. It's kind of like a cliffhanger if you're me, because I planned something out in my head already. And yes, my messed up, fanfiction-obssessed, anime-watching head. Please don't take offense to that if you're as messed up as me. By the way, since there's violence in a few chapters, and I have no idea if this is going to stay rated T... Unless I don't talk about the blood that seeped from... NEVERMIND!
