Ciel didn't go to sleep; he was too occupied with planning. He waited until everyone else in the dormitory had fallen asleep before getting up and sneaking off to Sebastian's quarters. He knew that the butler wouldn't be asleep—he was always much too busy with more important things than sleeping.

He quietly entered the chambers and discovered that all of the lights had been turned out—except for the one in the bedroom. Ciel wondered what was so fascinating in there—he had peeked inside, and all that had been in there were the bed and a wardrobe. All of the notes about the school were in the outside room.

"Sebastian? Hello? What are you doing?" He knocked on the bedroom door—no answer. He tried the door and it was locked, which clearly meant that whoever was inside wanted to be interrupted.

"OY! SEBASTIAN!"

There was a thumping noise, as if a person fell down.

"OW!"

And then a woman saying,

"Are you okay?"

"Fine; fine; fine; don't get up…Did you hear something?"

"...No…It's kind of hard to hear anything over the moaning."

"I sincerely hope that you're referring to yourself. I never moan."

"Well, then, why don't you come up here again and double-check?"

Then Ciel heard some kind of demonic purring noise.

"SE-BAAAS-TIAN!"

There were several more crashing sounds and then the door was suddenly flung open, revealing a very slipshod Sebastian.

"Young Master!" he said in a too-bright voice. "I thought that you were asleep…"

"I came to talk to you about Maurice. Did Eleanora discover anything?"

"Yes!" the woman, who was still in the room, said.

"…Why is Eleanora in your room? And at this hour!" Ciel gave his butler a look; Sebastian looked away and coughed. "What have you two been doing?"

"We've…been…" Sebastian trailed off, mostly because he could hear his wife running around his bedroom, searching for her clothes. "We were…uh…How to put this delicately…"

"We were just studying in-depth human-demon anatomical and biological intercourses," Eleanora said, leaving the room. She had given up on searching for all of her things and had just put on the professor robe. It was several sizes too big for her, so it did a fairly good job in covering her up. She smiled at the young Master, who was staring at them suspiciously.

"…In-depth human/demon anatomical and biological intercourses?"

"Yes," Sebastian said, grateful that it technically wasn't a lie. "Very in-depth."

Ciel had spent the past several hours learning about anatomy and biology and he wasn't interested in learning about any more. So he dropped the subject and instead asked Eleanora what she had learned about the school.

She hadn't found any trace of the vanished boy, but she did, however, find some very interesting things about Maurice Cole. Ciel almost couldn't believe what she told him—almost. If it was true…

The rest of the evening was spent making plans. Tomorrow, Maurice Cole's Reign of Beautiful Terror would end. And then…

Well, Ciel didn't really want to think about what would happen then at the moment. It was late and he was tired—one plan was enough for the night.

He said goodnight to his servants and left. As he was walking down the hallway, he suddenly remembered something that he had wanted to tell his butler for hours.

"Oh, by the way, Sebas…"

Ciel opened the door, right in time to see his butler and maid kissing each other. He had been gone for less than a minute, and already they were—the best term for it would be "making out."

"WHAT are you two DOING?!"

Eleanora shrieked and pushed the butler away from her.

"My LORD!" Sebastian said. "What are you—Why are you—"

"Please pardon us, my Lord," Eleanora said, because, like most women, she was able to recover quickly and immediately commence damage control after she realized that she had messed up. "Is there anything else?"

"Er…Yes," and he told Sebastian what he had come to say. He was just about to scamper off when he paused at the door and looked at them. Eleanora was playing with her hair, trying to gracefully pass off her embarrassment, while Sebastian just looked humiliated and a touch murderous. "You two…This…isn't going to become a regular thing, right? I mean…this isn't going to become a real problem, right?"

"My Lord!" Eleanora said. "Perish the thought."

"Well, see that it doesn't," Ciel said. "Remember always that you are my servants."

"Yes my Lord," both servants chirruped and Ciel quickly left the room, blushing a bit at seeing such an intimate act.

Sebastian counted down a minute, just to make sure that the young Master wouldn't be returning, before turning to Eleanora.

"Well?" he said, cuddling closer to her. "Shall we continue where we left off?"

"No. I am not getting into trouble again."

"Oh, we won't get into trouble…And we were having such fun…"

"But I'm tiiired…" Eleanora sighed. "Let's just call it quits and a night."

There are few things more persistent than a man who wants to study intercourses. There are few things more stubborn than a woman who doesn't want to give them. And, as is usually the case with married couples, the woman won.

But Sebastian didn't go to bed too disappointed. Eleanora made it up to him by giving him a big kiss on the lips. And normally he wouldn't have thought that a mere kiss was anything special, but this time…This time, she initiated it herself, with no pleading or asking on his part. This time, it almost seemed genuine…As if she wanted to kiss him herself.
