~~CIEL'S P.O.V.~~

Alois's memory is still missing, which is causing my suspicions to grow. His head injury wasn't that bad, after all… His memory should've come back by now… So why won't it? I'm getting this weird feeling that that and the angel are connected, but I have no idea how.

Only two days had passed since the reapers arrived. Each day that passed was growing colder in our minds. That angel was still out there, but I really can't do anything until it makes its next move. Until then, we've been making the best of our current situation. Well… not me… but Alois sure has…

I looked over at a certain blonde haired boy playing with a cat-like girl on the floor of my office. He would wave a feather around and make her chase it. Mitsuki kept rolling around and batting at the feather, jingling with every movement. It quickly became downright irritating. I ignored it as best I could, because I need to allow everyone to relax and not worry about anything while they still can. The angel's next move will probably be made sooner than I'll expect, so I have to stay on my toes. Not them.

Alois has been acting differently the last two days. He stopped asking me questions… The fact makes me suspicious as to whether or not he knows about the angel or not. He does have the means to investigate me after all. He has a demon at his right hand just as I do. I never thought he'd even think of going behind my back like that. What am I thinking? I don't even know if he did do that. I really don't want to make accusations towards him. It's best I just focus.

My eyes went back to Mitsuki. She stopped playing and was asleep on Alois's lap, purring. Alois looked over at me.

"I don't know what to do about this…" He whispered and pointed to the cat-girl, "Should I move her…?"

"Probable not… You don't want your eyes clawed out, do you?" He shook his head and continued to sit uncomfortably with the cat-demon on him.

"My legs are getting numb. Can't I just move a little-?" He complained.

"Don't move…I'm warning you, Alois…" He inched his leg away and paid the price, quickly. She responded with a sharp claw at his side and hissed. Then she cuddled back into his lap. Alois responded with wide eyes and a silent scream, clenching his side. She tore his jacket. That girl is a lethal weapon, I swear.

"I warned you." He gave me an evil glare.

"You would've done the same thing. Besides, I didn't make her like me." He whisper/screamed at me, trying not to wake Mitsuki.

"You sort of did. You play with her all the time and just let her lay on you…"

"What other choice do I have? If I don't, she'll probably kill me."

"Push her off and run?"

"She'd most likely outrun me if my legs were numb."

"Whatever. It's no use applying logic to her."

The cat-girl pushed Alois to the ground and lied on his chest.

"I- can't- BREATHE! Help!" He choked out between breaths. I proceeded to ignore him and just watch him being overpowered by a fourteen year old girl. Honestly… It was hilarious. Every time he tried to move, she would claw into his shoulders and purr.

I heard the door open to my office and saw Saki holding what seemed to be two glasses of wine, but one looked strangely like blood, and the other looked like dirty water. She kept the dark red wine and gave the other glass to Mitsuki. First the she-demon batted at it, but then started sniffing it curiously.

She finally got off of Alois, letting him sit up, clench his chest, and take deep breaths. She lapped it up with her tongue, but then things got weird. Her pupils grew several sizes and she began to act like she was on drugs, rolling around on the floor, spilling her wine, and licking the floor to get the drops that spilled.

I looked at Saki curiously, "…What did you do to her…?"

"She's fine."

"…O-…-Kay…?" 0ygtf9

"What are we even doing today?" She asked looking up from her glass of 'wine'. Now Mitsuki was running into my desk, like she was blind, and falling over.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going out. I need all of you to stay put and try not to get into any trouble. I know that will prove to be a difficult task for all of you, so I'm leaving Sebastian here to watch all of you." Her eyes lit up, like she was paying attention, after I said my butler's name.

"Oh… Okay…" She tried to hide her evil sharp-toothed grin from me, but failed.

"I could just have Claude watch after you…" I teased her, grinning.

She threw me a look of disgust and stepped back, "EW! No!"

"That's rude to say…" I say sarcastically back to her.

"I don't care," she rolled her eyes, "And don't talk to me like that. Got it?" She suddenly pulled a golden dagger out of nowhere and stabbed the blade on my desk. I have to admit; I didn't see it coming and jumped, to which she responded with an accomplished grin and laughed to herself.

"What!? Stop looking at me like that!" I argued, "Anyone would've been startled by something like that!" She kept laughing and pulled the fine dagger out of the desk.

"Think whatever you want, poor little Phantomhive." And she proceeded to step over the drugged and dazed Mitsuki, and left the office.

My face heated up, "HEY! GET BACK HERE!" I screamed to make her stop. She shouldn't treat me like this. I'm the Earl Phantomhive and I deserve respect!

"She's not coming back," Alois carried on, "She's probably going to be stalking Sebastian. I've been noticing her fixation with him. It's pretty creepy, actually…"

"I know. She'll be a great deal of trouble as long as she's here. Now she's taken to damaging the furniture too…" I frowned and rubbed the deep slice in the desk.

"Aw… Is poor Ciel upset about his precious desk?" Alois mocked me while he pet the drugged cat-girl.

"Oh, shut it." I got up from my desk and began to walk out.

"Where are you going?" He twisted his head back at me quizzically.

"Just like I said, I'm leaving."

"Can't I come with?!" He pouted.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want you to get involved."

"But I already am. Haven't you realized that yet?" He basically confessed.

"W-What are you talking about?! No you're not."

"I know exactly what's going on with you and those reapers…"

"How…?" Then I realized my first theory was right. I honestly didn't think he would, but then again, this is Alois we're talking about.

"You know how. Let me come with! I can help~!" He begged.

"Well… I gue-." He cut me off by jumping onto his feet and strangle/hugging me.

"YES! Thank you, Ciel!"

"Calm down!" I tried to pull away.

"Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and ran outside.

"You don't even know where we're going!" I yelled as he jerked himself, then I, to an unsteady halt, and we tripped over each other and hit the ground with a thud.

"You're right about that," He said rubbing his head and fixing his hair, "maybe you should lead the way this time. I nodded in annoyance and agreement. Alois stood up and held out his hand to help me up, which I accepted and fixed my hair, clothes, and gathered my loose thoughts.

"Follow me, and please stay calm. There is no reason to be running around your manor aimlessly without a care in the world." I scolded him.

"Calm down. I just wanted to get my blood pumping. No need to get so livid..." He defended himself and grabbed my hand, following close behind. We were going to meet Grell. He wasn't staying at the manor because Sebastian requested that he could stay in a hotel or something along those lines. I can see why he didn't want him at the manor.

The main purpose of meeting him was to just investigate the angel further. It's really the only thing we can do, and besides, we could never be too ready. We still don't even know why it's watching us. That's why every one of our little investigations is crucial until the very end. I need answers.

I started to slow down while I was thinking and Alois reacted on instinct and started jerking me forward, nearly pulling my arm off.

"Where exactly are we going?"

"No talking on the way there, got it? I need some peace for just a few minutes."

"I was only asking a question, Ciel…"

"I don't care. Quiet down. Follow me." I took the lead again and we got in our carriage, leaving Sebastian and the Reapers behind. As soon as the carriage started moving, so did Alois's mouth. He was constantly talking. I'm nearly certain it was just to annoy me.

"What do you think the angel wants? What's it doing here? What are we going to do about it? How is Grell going to help? Where are we going? What are we doing first?!" He ran his mouth like he would never be able to talk again after that, which in fact I'm highly considering as a last resort. Taping his mouth shut.

"Stop. Please." I banged my head on the back of my seat in frustration.

"Sorry, I want to get the facts straight~!"

"Or just see how much you can annoy me on one short trip." I mumbled.

"Don't whine! You'll have way more fun now that I'm your company!" He beamed and I just gave him an irritated glare. I felt a short shudder of the carriage.

"We're here." I say. I pushed my door open and stepped out. Alois jumped out after me. We looked around at the colorless tones of the lonely alley. The carriage took off and we were alone. Maybe I should've had Sebastian come with…? No… I heard a crash behind us. It was Grell.

"So where's dear Bassy?!" The red reaper complained disappointedly.

"He had to stay behind to watch the others." I told him.

He stopped for a moment. "WAIT! You- You left him with that MAN-STEALER!?" He fumed.

I grinned, "I don't suppose you're talking about your little Grim Reaper friend, are you?"

"HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO CRUEL!?" He began sobbing.

"Stop your whining. We have work to do. We made a deal, remember?"

"…Fine. I'm only helping as long as you keep your side of the deal in place! Got it, kid?!"

"Of course. I would never forget our deal… A day with Sebastian for your services, correct?" Grell started nose bleeding and fainted.

"Where to now, Ciel?!" Alois joined our strange conversation.

"I'm not sure. He was supposed to be the one with information… You did watch this angel, right?!" I turned my attention to the Grim Reaper deep in his disturbing thoughts.

"I'm guessing we'll just have to wing it, right?"

"Sadly, yes." I grabbed the reaper by the hair and drug him along the cool cobblestone, walking alongside Alois. We looked for several hours, but nothing. There was no sign of it anywhere. I honestly had a pretty good feeling it was watching us the entire time, but we failed to see it. In fact, it was probably in plain sight. This case will be challenging, but we'll find the angel and what it wants so badly. Why can't it just leave us alone…? Why do the problems of the world always find us and nobody else? We must be cursed.

A curse would explain a lot.

A/N: GAWD?! WHAT WAS THAT?!

I have mental issues when I write.

This is the deformed child of those problems.

'I'm sorry I put you onto this world, baby, where others will hate on you...'
