I decided I wanted to make this chapter better than the last..not just for my own sake but also to make up for the last chapter so here I am, starting this chapter on TUESDAY. Starting TWO days before the update date :O yay me! Haha (just kidding I wrote the intro on Tuesday but I didn't actually begin writing the chapter until Thursday hehe)

I don't own Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters but I do own characters, events, and other stuff that did not happen in the anime/manga. Enjoy!

I woke up with a start. Sitting up quickly, I looked around my surroundings.

"Where am I?"

I woke up in an unfamiliar room and I tried to think back on everything that happened.

I followed Brody, kicked him in the nuts, fell down, and...what?

Breathing deeply, I tried to think of everything up to that moment and I finally remembered.

"Sebastian caught me but...where am I?"

I got up from the fluffy bed and winced when I moved my right hand. I must have jostled my injured arm when Brody grabbed my ankle. Shaking off the pain, I walked to the door. As I was about to open the door, it opened by itself. I jumped back in surprise to see Sebastian with an easy smile on his face.

"Where am I?"

But my voice died off before I completed my question. Standing behind Sebastian was someone I was not expecting to see.

"Mrs. Midford?"

The elegant woman smiled.

"Hello, Dusk."

I turned my gaze to Sebastian and saw he had an almost...sadistic and satisfied smirk on his face. I flinched internally and tried questioning him again.

"So...how'd I end up here?"

"I was called when Marchioness Midford found you passed out near the mansion."

"Really?"

I put on a smile and kept my mouth shut. Sebastian definitely caught me when I passed out so why did he say he found me? I decided to bid my time and just see where...whatever this is...goes.

"Sebastian, despite his sloppy appearance, is a somewhat capable butler. He came here to pick you up."

"Ah, I see. Thank you, Mrs. Midford. Well, since Sebastian is here, I won't be a burden any longer so I'll be leaving."

I pushed passed Sebastian and Elizabeth's mom...wait, my mom, and randomly picked a direction to go. As I walked aimlessly around the huge mansion, I stopped.

"I don't know where I'm going.."

As I spun around, I found myself running into someone. I backed up and saw it was the butler.

"Oh, it's you."

"I have to say, that was quite rude, Miss Dusk."

"Yeah but I didn't want to deal with her."

"I see. So where were you planning on going?"

Too annoyed to argue, I glared at Sebastian before sighing.

"Just...let's go home."

Sebastian seemed amused at my frustration and smirked at me a few seconds before slightly bowing.

"Very well."

I follow his tall figure and soon, we were at the front door. Mrs. Midford was there with a smile on her face but she seemed obviously uncomfortable. And I knew why.

"Thank you again for taking care of me, Mrs. Midford."

As I bowed, a cruel thought emerged in my brain. I paused before the door, which Sebastian had opened, and turned around to face her. She seemed to be holding her breath.

"How's Marie doing?"

She seemed to be taken aback.

"Marie?"

Oh shit I'm not supposed to know that Marie works for her.

"Uh, never mind. My memory is being weird so, uh, see you soon!"

With that, I rushed out of the mansion and got into the limo in front. Sebastian got in behind me and shut the door before smirking at me. I tried to ignore him by staring outside the window but soon, I got too uncomfortable to maintain my facade. I whipped my head towards him and looked at the butler.

"What?"

"Hm, I was just thinking how interesting you could be sometimes, Miss Dusk."

"Just spit it out. I made a stupid mistake because I didn't know to deal with these things. Just give it a rest."

"Ah...my, my, Miss Dusk. Why don't you try to ask for help? I would be more than happy to lend a helping hand."

I looked at Sebastian suspiciously before asking.

"Why? What's in it for you?"

He placed an index finger on his lips and gave me a closed eye smile.

"It's a secret."

"Tch, no thanks."

"Why?"

"I don't trust that smile."

"Well, it seems you know a bit better now."

I gave a sarcastic sigh and gestures my arms.

"I wonder why?"

The rest of the drive back to the mansion passed by in silence. I continued thinking about Sebastian's offer late into the night and when I realized my surroundings, it was way passed midnight and I had spent hours just sitting in my bed, staring at the wall. I stretched out my legs and yawned before getting up from the bed to get ready for bed.

I hopped off the bed and left my room. After I came back from the bathroom, I was toweling dry my hair when I saw Sebastian walking towards me in the hall.

"Hey."

"Good evening. Why are you still up? It's way past the time when honorable people go to bed."

I found myself rolling my eyes.

"Oh please. What time period do you think this is? For god's sake, it's the twenty-first century. Staying up is nothing abnormal."

Sebastian slightly tilted his head and brought his hand up to his chin.

"I supposed so."

"That makes me curious..."

"Yes, Miss Dusk?"

"How old are you?"

He looked down at me and suddenly picked me up.

"Woah! What the heck are you doing?"

Sebastian gave me a smirk and brought me back to my room. He shut the door without touching it and tossed me on the bed. My heart felt like it was about to pound out of my chest and I held my breath

"So...whatcha up to?" I asked, nervously laughing. Sebastian walked towards the bed, no. More like he was stalking towards the bed and I felt myself involuntarily shiver.

"I will tell you my age in exchange for something."

"So a deal with the devil?" I teased, half joking and Sebastian smiled.

"Not quite, since we won't be making an official contract."

"I was kidding. But what do you want in exchange?"

"You will let me help you in the quest of discovering your family history."

I narrowed my eyes but I didn't argue. Keeping my suspicions in my mind, I nodded.

"Fine. Deal."

Sebastian's eyes flashed for a second before returning to their original colors.

"Actually, I'm willing to answer any question you might have tonight."

"Really?"

I sat up a little straighter, widening my eyes at this rare opportunity.

"Yes, Miss Dusk. As you know, I do not lie."

"I don't know if I believe that..but alright."

I shrugged and fell silent. This situation came too suddenly and I had nowhere to start. As I was in my own mind, Sebastian had walked right up to bed and when I came to, his face was right in front of mine. But I knew better this time. Instead of backing up, I stood my ground and looked right back in his eyes. An idea popped in my head and I grabbed his arms and pulled him towards the bed space in front of me and, to my surprise, Sebastian actually fell onto the bed. He stayed on his back and I began to panic, not knowing what to do.

"So what now, Miss Dusk? What do you plan on asking? Or are you going to do something instead?"

"Uh..."

"Shall I expel that worry for you?"

Sebastian sat up and once again, began pressing forward. When I had no more space to run, he shamelessly moved his face towards mine and my eyes widened, captured by his blazing eyes.
