Thank you for all the comments and follows, they make me feel so special :'D

Chapter Twenty-One:

The night where the Zodiac had been over-whelming for both Tohru and Sebastian. Though Sebastian had the opportunity to meet more of the Zodiac, and he took advantage of the moment and acquainted himself with the ones that did show, (like Kagura, Ritsu and Ayame), their personalities were… well very over-whelming to be frank. Especially Ayame, who's personality, seemed to be a close match to that of Grell's. Though Tohru did enjoy playing hostess.

But that had been nearly a month ago.

"Time to get up, my lady" Sebastian said as he opened her curtains. They weren't like his previous master's curtains where he would have to extend his arms to open them, they weren't grand. But by force of habit he would open them and let the sunlight pour through.

Fall was peering just around the corner, the leaves outside were already starting to change to different colors. The temperature was starting to decrease and school was becoming much more difficult since the review had been cleared during the final days of summer.

"Wake up, you have to prepare yourself for school"

Sebastian never wished anyone good morning or good night, it was a fact. He only wished one of his previous masters a good night before, and that was once. But even then, that was a test of his master's skills of noticing changes in the regular flow of things. Other than that, he really didn't care whether they had nightmares or sweet dreams. His job wasn't to make sure their life was happy and that they were sleeping well, unless it was ordered of him to care. But even then he didn't truly care, he was only filling out an order and making it believable.

"Good morning" She said, rubbing her eyes sleepily as she sat up.

"I prepared breakfast for everyone since you were up late last night doing laundry" He avoided having to tell her good morning. If he finds no use in telling lies then why should he tell her good morning? He cannot predict the outcome of the morning.

She faltered a little bit,

"Oh…"

"Are you not satisfied that I did that for you?" He asked her, turning to face her.

"Oh no no no!" She protested, not wanting to offend him at all, "I am satisfied!"

He knew she was lying though, that was like her telling Momiji that the cake he baked all on his own was good and didn't need any less sugar.

He gave her a smile, though she couldn't pinpoint what emotion it held in it. Sadism? One couldn't tell with a simple glance, you would have to better acquaint yourself with him to be able to tell even at the slightest, but even then it was hard to notice. Maybe it had no emotion in it at all.

"Tell me the truth"

She fidgeted. Usually people believed her when she said that she liked or appreciated something that she didn't necessarily like or appreciate. (She did appreciate the thought and consideration put into it, don't get me wrong).

"Eh…?" Was all that she had managed to reply in spite of all the possible answers that she had come up with in her head.

If she was the master why was it that this demon scared her? Was what anyone would have thought.

He bent over at the torso to where they met eye to eye, his undetermined smile still on his face but his eyes were glinting with something else, pleasure from the startle that he gave her,

"I would be worth nothing as a butler if I could not tell when my master was fibbing to me. If it is offence that you are trying to spare me from then think nothing of it, I don't take offence when I do something wrong. It is your job as my master to correct my mistakes so that I do not make them again"

Tohru fidgeted at the proximity of his closeness,

"It's not that you did anything wrong! It's just… I was looking forward to cooking this morning's dinner! That's all! It's nothing big I promise!"

His smile was still on his face as he stood up straight again. He had amused himself enough for the moment by teasing her,

"Then I will be sure to ask the night before if you would like me to prepare breakfast in the morning, so this mistake doesn't occur again"

She nodded and left to go get ready for the day. When she left the room he let out a sigh. She was really difficult to work with, unlike Ciel was. While the blue-haired boy was clear on what he wanted she was not. She seemed all over the place and confused, though she really was trying. But it was okay, he would fix that about her as well as other things.

He ran a hand through his hair and thought. The demon knew that she was escorted by the rat and the car to school every day, and they weren't about to let that change either. Personally though he didn't care, it was one less thing he had to do and it gave him more time to work with other things that he had to do.

Like getting to school in a timely fashion, enough to get out of the butler suit and into a sweat suit, though he personally didn't enjoy the red color like he enjoyed black.

"Being early is adamant on successfully completing things" He said as he started to head off to school himself.

Sebastian didn't like being the gym teacher. For one, he had to put up with girls getting him to show them how to work the weights even though they were clearly capable of handling it themselves. Second, he had to put up with Anna and Nicole teaching on the other side of the gym, and Anna had an annoyingly peppy voice that made people want to beat her with a brick. Third, he would always get starred down by Saki. She didn't like him and he didn't like her, he knew what she could do and it would get in the way of things if she tried anything.

But that day he didn't have to worry about any of these things, he was on teacher's meeting with, well, the teachers whom were currently discussing the theme of this year's fall festival, seeing as the student body president was completely incapable of handling the decision on his own proving last year how it was a complete disaster.

"What if we tried an ancient Asian theme?" One of the teachers asked as she leaned over on the table.

"We did that two years ago" The teacher at the head of the table said with a sigh.

"Well then what else are we supposed to do? We've fetched you every idea that we could come up with, from carnival to fantasy" Another added.

The teacher at the head of the table ran a hand through his hair with frustration, and Sebastian was to the point where he couldn't stand their incompetence anymore.

"May I suggest a theme?" He asked, raising a hand.

"PLEASE"

"Well" He stood up, "As you know I am a foreigner, from Britain, so I suggest that you have a Victorian themed cultural fair. That's what the children have been learning in World History anyways, no?"

This sparked the teacher's attention and they urged him to go on.

"I know this subject very well, on one hand, and on the other I am sure the female population of the school would be overwhelmed with happiness that they can wear the dresses that you have had them study, though I cannot promise you that the male population will enjoy dressing up. You could have traditional ballroom dancing in the gym and serve English delicacies that I am sure the cooking class can handle"

"That's a brilliant idea! We'll have the student council handle everything, with Sebastian as the head!" The head said cheerily. Well, Sebastian didn't expect that outcome but since it was in his area of expertise, it would be something easy to handle. Besides, what kind of butler couldn't handle a mere school festival?

This was going to produce one hell of a festival at the very least.
