((Hey! Author-chan here with another update (: Now, I got news for you guys: I've been getting back into Black Butler(the anime) so I don't know how often I'll update this story now that I feel like writing for the other show. I won't abandon this story, though, ever! So don't worry about it, I just wanted to let you know what was up if I don't update this as often. Also, a question: if I were to start a Black Butler story, would any of you be interested in reading it? I want to know how many Black Butler fans are out there (:

Maz: Muahaha! Thank you (:

Penny Polendina: Here ya go uwu

A: All I can say is... you'll love the ending (; (Also, we're totally going with Ruriet)

Amethyst: Thank you!

xFarxAwayx: Thank you! And, no, it's not strange. A teeny bit mean to Ruri(she doesn't like being laughed at) but not strange (:

.A: Actually, that is functional to the plot. Didn't you ever notice that BB is one of the main characters? He's definitely going to make an appearance, and soon. I'm working on integrating him into the story.

Lostfeather1: I think I'll make her opinion on Misa something akin to pity, maybe saying that she feels bad for Misa getting used the way she will be. Idk yet.

Thanks for all the reviews!))

The next morning, Ruri fought the urge to stay in bed all day.

Light had left the night before, no doubt being questioned by his father on why he had been away for so long and stayed out so late. Ruri woke up, tucked into the bed with her three pillows on either side of her, one under her head.

She spent the first twenty minutes simply laying in the same position, not even daring to think, as if doing anything would shatter this illusion of peace. She was afraid that if any interruption were to happen, she wouldn't get another chance like this, a chance at being in peace for longer than a split second.

That interruption, was her alarm clock.

Ruri groaned at the loud beeping, hoping it wouldn't wake the other people in the hotel. She was well aware of the thin walls of this place.

Struggling to find the energy to leave the warm cocoon of blankets, she groans louder, in frustration, as she can't seem to find the object without having to open her eyes.

Finally, after a full minute of blaring noises and hoping the device would burn in hell, she opened her eyes, squinting at the bright sunlight flowing in through the windows and curtains. Then, she jumps up and practically slams her hand down on the clock.

7:52 A.M.

Not only was she surprised at how late she had woken up- she assumed Light set the time later due to how late she fell asleep- but she realized that she would be late if she didn't hurry. With this in mind, Ruri jumps up out of her warm bed, tripped over her own shoes laying on the side of the floor, and made her way to her connected bathroom.

She hurried with brushing her teeth, then showering. She was angry at herself for picking such a low rated hotel, but it was the only hotel she could name without going back to the ones she'd already been to, and she seethed about this in the cold shower. Then, getting out, she dried herself off as she simultaneously tried to put on her underwear.

After nearly tripping on the wet ground, she opted to slow down so she wouldn't hurt herself any further.

She dressed in a long sleeved grey shirt with holes for the thumbs, as well as a black t-shirt with a hoodie on, over it. She put on her long skinny jeans quickly, her athletic figure slipping into them easily, as well as her black socks and white and purple tennis shoes.

She grabbed her new black bag, throwing in a few items. Her green sketch book, a few colored pens, as well as three new lined notebooks, for her studying and note taking during classes. Afterward, she made her way out of her hotel room, leaving her other things packed in her usual green and purple bag, stuffed underneath the bed in case anyone came into her room while she's away. She doubted it, but she couldn't be sure. She hadn't given a hint to L on where she was staying the night before, so he should have no clue as to where she was at the moment.

Unless, of course, she was wrong and he really had identified her yesterday afternoon.

Sighing, she locked her room and put the key on top of the door frame, just short enough for her to reach it if she stood on her toes, but tall enough to stay out of sight. Then, she made her way out of the lobby, checking her phone for the time as she made her way to the building in which she was supposed to get her grades.

9:35 A.M.

She had half an hour left before she had to be there.

((Okay, so this is only a small filler(emphasis on 'small' haha), but I mostly wanted to get that A/N out, but I didn't want to leave you with nothing, so here's part of a chapter.

As said in the A/N, I don't know when I'll update this next, but I'll try to get one out before the end of next week.

But while on the topic of next week, guess what!

School ends in two weeks!

Woot woot! Which means I'll have lots of time for all of my stories in two weeks! I hope you're glad (:

Leave lots of reviews, they help me write!))
