This chapter is really short and I guess it isnt really a chapter considering it is just Julius's point of view... But you must know i love Julius to death so He has to be important in my stories XD Sorry if you hate this chapter because there is no Neko-chan in it.

Julius' POV

I worked on my clocks like I always did, quietly. The only noise I wanted to hear was the ticking of my wall of clocks around me yet there was an annoying tapping noise within my room. 5 taps, then a slight pause before 5 more taps. The process continued. The noise irritated me to the point of almost drawing my gun to shoot the annoyance.

"Ace," I growled. "What are you doing?" His head snapped up and looked around the room until his eyes fell upon me.

"What?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowing. I sighed, removing my reading glasses from my nose and pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Why are you pacing?" I asked. At least he had stopped for the time being.

"Pac…ing?" He asked, looking bewildered. He blinked and spoke again. "I'm pacing?"

"Yes. You would take 5 steps that way and turn back. It was getting rather annoying…." I mumbled. "Why are you still here anyway? You're always out of here after a job is completed."

"I… I never stay?" He asked. What was wrong with him?

"Yes. You always run off to get lost in the woods. Yet you're still here. What gives?"

"I… I am waiting for Neko-chan." He reluctantly said. "If I get lost then she would never find me. So I decided to stay here to wait for her." My eyebrows furrowed.

"Since when did you care?"

"She is my Squire. She is my responsibility." He said. I wasn't buying it.

"You have never cared who dies." I replied. "What is so special about her?"

"She is my Squire. She is supposed to help me."

"You are making no since." I muttered. He frowned. Frowned? I had never seen him frown. Actually he hasn't smiled at all since he has been here. "Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Wrong…? Are you… worried about me Julius?" I looked at him in confusion. Worried… I… Yes I was worried. Although I would never admit it to him.

"Why would I worry about you? You are fully capable of taking care of yourself." I said, picking back up the clock I had stopped working on.

"Julius!~" Yelled a voice from the stairway. It was Gowland. He was holding another bottle of wine. His eyebrows furrowed when he saw Ace.

"What is he doing here?" Gowland asked.

"Waiting for Neko-chan." I replied. Gowland looked at the man in confusion.

"I doubt she would come here for quite some time then." He shrugged, sitting at the table.

"Why is that?" Ace said, dryly.

"As I left the park I saw the Bloody Twins dragging her off to the mansion."

"Mansion…?" Ace asked. "Bloody Twins…?" He paused and turned to the door. He abruptly strode to the door to leave.

"Ace! Where are you going?!" I yelled. He sent me a sideways glare before replying.

"She is a servant of Hearts. Those bloody brothers will kill her, and if not them then Mr. Dupre himself will do the job." He growled before walking out of the room, out of sight. I looked at Gowland who appeared just as confused as me.

Hmm... Tell me if you like the different POV chapters. I have a few (just finished typing chapter 17) but... if you like the different POVs then i can add more. and again, sorry for the short chapter.
