Ciel POV
I found myself getting angry as I listened to what Marco was saying. That's what she meant by having a family that cared about me… To think that her Father of all people would do that to her! Despicable! Outrageous!
There was a soft shuffling at the door. We all looked up to see Hayato shuffling in. Her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was in tangles. She wolf ears on her head and a tail hanging behind her. I gasped in shock. She has wolf ears and a wolf's tail? Her eyes met with mine. She gave a slight shiver and then trembled when she saw Marco and Sebastian. Marco stood up to leave. Hayato kept shuffling forward still trembling. She hesitantly reached out to stop Marco from leaving.
"Don't," she whispered.
She looks so cute… Especially with the wolf ears… Are they real? They're a lot better than cat ears that most people have as accessories for dressing up. But looking at her now… She looks so much more fragile then what she usually does. I guess everyone has a weak side to them that not many people know about…
Marco looked down at her and patted her head gently. Marie and Lydia smiled at the two. We watched as Hayato hesitantly and slowly wrapped her arms around Marco. I felt something hit my heart but ignored it.
"It wasn't your fault," Hayato whispered, "Don't let yourself feel guilty because Father did it. You were under a contract."
Marco sighed, "You were always kind hearted. Are you alright now?"
She nodded and stumbled over to Sebastian. She hugged him giggling. The feeling hit me in the heart again. Her giggle's cute… Not like a posh giggle, but a giggle that commoners have… She gave everyone a hug. She looked at me with her puppy eyes and hugged me. So cute… Puppy dog eyes, a wolf's tail and wolf ears… How can one not find that cute? I sat there not knowing what to do. What the hell? Why is my heart beating really fast? And what is she doing?
"You're so warm," she mumbled, snuggling into my chest.
I heard Marie laugh. What is she laughing about? I'm kinda uncomfortable here… Although I like the feeling when she's hugging me… She's warm
"Umm, Hayato?" I questioned a pink hue on my cheeks, "Why are you hugging me?"
The only answer was soft snuffling. Her ears twitched and Marie giggled. What is she finding so amusing? I reached out to touch her ears. I really want to know whether they're real or not… Before I could touch them, Marie had taken her away from me. So close… They look so soft as well…
"Sorry about that, Ciel," she apologised, "It seems as if she was still half asleep and didn't know what she was doing."
I didn't answer. Lydia bounded over to Marco and smiled.
"Isn't it good that she's gotten over it now?"
Marco nodded with a little smile on his face.
"Please excuse us," they said in unison bowing.
"You should go to bed as well, Master," Sebastian bowed.
I nodded and let him take me to bed.
"You looked very flustered back there," he teased dressing me in my night clothes.
"When she hugged you and Marco I felt something hit my heart," I muttered, "Why did I feel that? Was what that feeling?"
"Your heart was also racing," Sebastian added.
"Why?" I asked.
"Let's just say that those emotions are what you should be feeling towards your fiancé. Good night, Master."
He left and shut the door. What does he mean? Emotions that I should have towards Elizabeth? What emotions? I sighed and closed my eyes. No use wondering about it now…
