A/N: LeCustard asked if Grell would be showing up any time soon. So, I decided to bring him back for fun. He was around when Ciel was an infant and I haven't mentioned him since. He shall make an appearance.
Sorry for taking so long! I haven't really had computer access lately... :( Is it sad that I (sort of) have the ending planned out? o-o I'm planning to make this stories twenty five chapters-ish.
"I'm bored," Bunny announced. "Why are we even here?"
"If you're bored, leave," Claude replied.
"Ugh!" Bunny swung around on her heels and launched herself onto Claude. "Claude-chan." Bunny locked her lips with his. Claude stood there, spell-bound, not knowing what to do. Bunny drew away and gave a harsh laugh. "So stiff."
She twirled around and plopped down on the cement curb. Cars whizzed by them, slapping a breeze on them. "What was that for?" Claude asked, trying to sound unrifled.
"Dunno," she replied. "You don't need to blush." Claude's hand shot up to his face to try and block out of his red face.

"Hello!" Alois chirped. "My name is Alois! What's yours?"
"Ciel." The blue-haired boy responded. He tilted his head to the side and studied the blonde. "You're chirpy." He proclaimed. The five-year old spun around on his heels and marched away from him. Alois stood there dumb-founded, watching the other child leave.
"I don't like this," Michi stated, watching Ciel leave Alois. "That guardian of his is going to be here soon. And he won't like us watching his guard."
"Calm down," Aoi responded. A smile flickered across her face. "I have it all figured out. Trust me." Michi looked up at her comrade, her eyebrows knitting together. She gave her a look that said whatever you say... and turned her attention back to Ciel.
"And what is that plan exactly?"
"Time will have to tell..." With that, Aoi spun around on her heels and promptly strode out of the daycare. Michi gave a second glance to Ciel and then darted after her friend.
Outside the building, Aoi produced a cell phone from her winter coat and dialed a number. "Hullo?" She asked. "Yes, yes. Go as planned. Everything will go as planned." Michi rushed to her side and Aoi gave her a unsympathetic look. "The child will be ours in a few days. His name? Why would you need such a trivial piece of information?" Aoi nodded her head and began to head to their car.
"If you must know: Ciel. I wish for you to kidnap him on the fifth." She snapped her phone shut and jammed her phone shut.
"It is only the third; how will such short notice help the case?" Michi asked as the two entered the car. "You only told them of their mission last night."
"Any earlier would have put it in danger."
"Hm."
"You do not believe me?"
"I do; I do."
"Doesn't sound like it!
"I'm a follower: not a leader."
"I never told you that!"
"Yes-huh."
"Liar."
Michi rolled her eyes and stopped the brakes. "We're here." She exited the car and before them stood a grand house. The lawn in front of it was perfectly trimmed with green grass and the building looked as if it had been finished yesterday.
"I don't get why you are mad!" Aoi said as she filed into the building.
"You wouldn't understand." Michi snapped her fingers and her cat ears and tail came into view. "You never do." Michi clambered up the stairs, a void of darkness laying at the top.
"I can't if you won't tell me!" Aoi yelled after her, but Michi was out of earshot. "That girl.." Aoi muttered to herself. She inhaled a big breath and the door bell rang. Aoi answered the door to see Bunny standing on the opposite side.
"I couldn't help hear you yell.. May I come in?" Bunny asked as she strode inside.
"Now my workers must eavesdrop?" Aoi asked rhetorically. "And it is of no problem to you."
"That's why she's mad at you." Bunny stated. She spun around and cupped Aoi's chin. "You never let people into your little bubble. You claim she is like a sister to you, but you do not trust her." Bunny spun around on her heels.
A feeling of anger bursted in Aoi's chest and she could feel her cheeks redden. "You know nothing of my feelings for Michi!" Aoi shouted. "She's just an employee! Nothing else! Nothing more!"
"Nice move, genius." Bunny motioned to the stair case where Michi stood. Tears flooded down the girl's cheeks.
"Nothing?!" Michi demanded. The girl darted back up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door.
"Michi! Wait!" Aoi herded Bunny out of her house and ran upstairs.

"Daddy!" Ciel giggled as he threw himself onto him.
"Hullo," Sebastian said as he patted Ciel on the back. "So excited." Sebastian hoisted Ciel up onto his hip.
"Let's go! Let's gooo!" Ciel begged.
"Okay, okay," he complied, chuckling. "We'll leave." Sebastian walked out to his car and placed the squirming child on the ground. Ciel clambered inside, tucking himself into his car seat, ready to go.
"Daddddddy!" Ciel whined.
"You get so psyched for ice cream," Sebastian laughed.
"'Cause it delicious!"
"It is," Sebastian corrected, staring the car.
"Whatever!"
"Ouch."
Ciel began to hum a song as he wildly kicked his feet. He stared out the window, watching the building slipping by. "I don't wanna go to school tomorrow," he pouted.
"You have to."
"Missy doesn't like me."
"Missy?"
"My teacher!" He clarified. Ciel began to squirm around in his seat, trying to wiggle away from the seat belt.
"What did you do this time?" He sighed.
"Nothing!" he stated. Sebastian glared at him through the rearview mirror. The five-year continued to writhe around in his seat, eventually breaking under his stare.
"She thinks I stole Gabriel's candy!" he pleaded. "I didn't!"
"Mhm." Sebastian pulled into the parking lot and exited out the car. "Such a trouble-maker." Sebastian couldn't help but give a small smile.

"That child has certainly grown," Grell commented.
"How did you get in here?" Sebastian asked.
The man pulled out a pair of keys and tossed them on the floor.
"Be careful with your keys, Sebas-chan." Grell turned around and began to head down stairs.
"You're lucky."
"Huh?" Grell turned around and looked at him.
"I said, you're lucky that Ciel's asleep. Or I would've hurt you."
"You're too protective of that human," Grell sighed. "He'll just wither and die eventually. And yet, you, a demon, try to protect him."
"I don't want a shinigami in my house." Sebastian calmly walked over to Grell and kicked him down the stairs.
"Ahhh!" Grell tumbled down the stairs and landed on his face. "Uhmn."
"Don't make me have to show you the door," he threatened. Grell nodded glumly and slumped over to the door, making sure to shut it quietly as he left.
"Daddy?" Sebastian turned around to see Ciel standing in the hallway. He held a teddy bear in his arms and wore blue pajamas.
"Sh," Sebastian soothed. He walked over to the child and picked him up. "It's past your bed time, little one." Ciel tested his head on his guardian's shoulder, gripping his teddy bear tightly.
"Tell me a story?" He asked.
"Okay," Sebastian said softly. "Then you're going to bed."
A/N: Um, there will be some yuri soon. Just sayin'. :)
