So, if i keep this train rolling, then i'll be popping out chapters every three days(or 2 days, depending how you think.) I'll be skipping tomorrow and friday, and updating on saturday. Tada!

But, i've been on a roll lately, finish two, i repeat 2 chapters yesterday(i started both yesterday) so were all set. Though, i'm not sure how i like the way they came out. The first one toldly went askew, and the one after that i want to just remove(some what) but it has some...not fluff, but character development. We also learn more about different dimensions(as if i didn't have enough in this story)

ANYWAYS!

Please go read. This was written a while back (before i thought to add some things and take some away) So there may be a couple mistakes/references that might not be understood. Just ask and i'll reply back about it.

This was suppose to be up earlier today, but...i forgot about it while i was doing llamatrade on deviantart and my thirty three hundred accounts XD (lol, no.)

I'm tired.

As it was, the servants and myself-minus Sebastian- stood in Ciel's office. Or rather, the three catastrophes stood, I technically being a Phantomhive myself, sat in the chair that had been pushed off to the side.

Each servant stood looking fearful, a look of worry individual to their personalities.

"S-so young master, you wanted to speak to us about something?" Maylene asked, her voice raising a pitch in fear.

Ciel looked up at them, either not noticing or not caring about how the servants were acting. "Yes, I have a little job for the three of you to take care of."

They were obviously happy about something. "J-O-B?" The three buffoons asked, smiling widely. A group hug came about, and I shared a look with Ciel who was merely sweat dropping.

"See? We don't have to worry!" Finny announced brightly.

Maylene nodded. "When he called us in, I was sure we were fired, yes I did!"

Bard merely cried tears of joy.

From underneath his desk, Ciel pulled out a camera, old fashion for even this current decade.

"This is a camera from The famous Talbot collection." Ooh, I knew him! He was the main inventor of photography! I had to do a report on him sophomore year for my photography class. Apparently, there had been some weird stories about how his last camera took pictures of the dead or something like that. But the stories would also cross over with 'showing loved ones', and there was no proof that anyone in the picture hadn't been there.

"It has a story behind it." Ciel said, making me tune back into him. "It was missing from the collection all together for some time, when it suddenly came up for auction; I bid immediately.

Each servant that was not Tanaka looked confused. "Who's Talbot?" Finny asked, voicing all their thoughts.

Everyone looked at Tanaka as he grew to his normal height. "Full name, William Henry Fox Talbot. Let's see..." he thought for a second, as if finding his file or something. "He was a renowned English scientist, and one of the inventors of photographic technology." BAMF! "There were some strange rumors about the last camera he used, the one our young master has acquired." Was this true? That meant I could see for myself if it really captured the pictures of the dead! "Legend has it, that if you use this camera to photograph someone , whomever or whatever that person cares about most in the world will appear in the photograph as well." Tanaka popped back to chibi form in order to conserve some steam.

The clumsy and sometimes perverted maid seemed to think this was very enticing. "Oh my, that sounds too good to be true!"

Bard didn't seem to buy it. "Can such a camera really exist, or is it just a rumor?"

"Let's find out!" I said excitingly. I could practically feel my eyes dancing.

Ciel merely raised an eyebrow before setting up the camera. "Would you like to pose for the picture with Finny, Tabby?"

I was about to vigorously nod my head, but thought twice about it. Who would pop up? "Ah, no thank you Ciel. I'd rather just observe the results."

"Dont move finny. The exposer takes ten seconds."

"Uh, what exactly is exposer?" Maylene asked, staring at the camera.

Bard thought about it for a second. "Basically, it's copying down an image of finny."

I nodded. "That's pretty much it. I couldn't put it better myself Bard. Good job." I gave the cook a thumbs up, smiling. He smiled back, if not awkwardly.

"Stay still, or the image will blur and we won't get a good picture." Looking at Finny, I noticed he was shaking from holding his breath.

"Ah, Finny, you can breathe..." I said, just as Ciel finished the ten seconds.

"Done." He pulled the curtain off his head, and Finny let out the breath of air he had been holding in. Ciel made a face. "Tabby's right-you didn't have to hold your breath the whole time."

We all left for the makeshift darkroom in a spare closet. After a moment, Ciel took the photo out of the liquid, leaving back to his office. We all looked over the earl's shoulder at the picture of Finny.

"Wow! It's my little birdie!" Finny said, in awe. My own mouth went slack on Ciel's shoulder. I was certain that there had been no flying creatures in the room-despite that, the bird was in mid-flight; because of the exposer on the camera, the bird shouldn't have been there at all; or if it was, it would have been a blur.

"Since when do you have a bird?" Bard asked, weirded out, while Maylene was totally oblivious to the 'showing up' bit.

"Oh, it's so cute!"

Finny seemed to go back in time when he recalled his little friend. "I gave it food every day, and one day it started eating out of my hand." Oh, how sweet; despite the rare occurrence of them liking me, I was a sucker for small animals. "I was so happy I gave it a gentle pat and..." The gardener gave a wooden sculpture a 'gentle pat', the head of the bear cracking off. My back stiffened when I realized what happened to the bird. "And my little friend never moved again."

Our maid was shaking. "Are you saying...?"

I nodded to Maylene's question. "I think he is."

Tanaka once again appeared before us in full height. "Ah, I forgot to mention something." Senile old man. "The camera has one other unique attribute. The new soul that it will show is not of this world. To put it plainly, the dead appear."

Bard didn't look convinced. "The dead?"

"You mean ghosts?!"

Looking over at the maid, I found her smiling. That's right; while in Houndsworth she had said she loved creepy stories like that. It really was a shame she missed going to the caves.

"You can see why I am so interested in this camera. Not only can it see who you care for most, but it reaches into the other world to photograph them." So then, both of the rumors were true. And I had seen it with my own eyes! Oh, how my photography teacher would love to be here right now.

The two servants who weren't crying over their dead birdie were holding onto each other. "But it's the nineteenth century! Surely no one believes a story like that!"

My smirk matched Ciel's. "Well Bard, even people in the twenty first century believe in things like that. After all, cameras are known to see things the naked eye can't."

"That sounds amazing! What an incredible camera, master!" Maylene's blush was similar to Sebastian's when he found a cat.

Ciel placed his hand on the camera. "Take a picture of Sebastian with this camera. But do it discretely. I don't want him to know what you're up to." My eyes widened at the thought.

"You want us to take a candid photo?" Bard asked, almost in shock.

"Yes."

Maylene suddenly realized what that meant. "Who Sebastian cares for most?"

"Oh wow, imagine how interesting that would be..." I mumbled, thinking about it. Who would show up?

Finny had finally stopped his wailing. "That's something I'd like to see."

"Bloody right, Finny!" The blonde cook fist pumped the air. "Always bossing us around and mocking my artistic cooking methods!"

"Well, I do that too though, so I don't think that one counts." I pointed out. The cook glared at me.

"He's as human as we are!" let me finish that for you as we are demons. "He's got to have at least a weakness or two! And now's our chance to see them!"

"You'll handle it?" Ciel asked, a grin Cheshire would be proud of on his face.

"Yes, my lord!" The servants yelled, in a not-too-bad imitation of the demon we were talking about.

I leaned against Ciels desk as they laughed about how well they mocked him. "There's no telling what will appear if we take a picture of him with this camera. Perhaps I should look at the picture first, since I am immune to all that demon stuff. Wouldn't want your guyses brains turning to mush."

Ciel smirked. "This should be interesting."

I really hoped he was talking about the picture and not the brain mush.

TCTCTC

I decided to join the servants, since I had no doubt they wouldn't be able to do it by themselves. They at least needed one competent person to help, so, being the martyr I was, selflessly assigned myself to that task. As it was, we were currently hiding behind the book shelves in the library while he tended to it.

"He needs to stay still!"

"For a full ten seconds!"

"Ten seconds! right!"

"Shut it!" I whispered back at the servants who were talking. Sebastian could hear us, what with his demon hearing.

And of course, once Sebastian got going, he wasn't standing anywhere for even one second. That stupid demon was doing this just to spite us.

Damn him.

"He's fast!" They all whispered.

"He's so fast I can't even see him, yes!" Why did no one pick up on his abnormalities, even though Maylene literally just pointed it out?

"Damn, we'll never get a photo if he keeps this up!" Bard whispered, annoyed.

"Sebastian, please just stay still!" I whispered, knowing he heard us.

And he did. At least to a certain extent.

The demon leaned back to admire his work on the flower arrangements, not satisfied with something. He then took out his handkerchief and whipped it, turning it into a red rose before putting it in the vase with all the white flowers. We all stared in awe, Finny and myself clapping as well.

"I forgot to take the picture."

I absent mindedly nodded, still clapping. "No one blames you."

"He's so wonderful to watch, yes he is."

TCTCTC

We followed the demon as he straightened up every room. Bard's brilliant idea came first, involving Finny and a pool table.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" Finny yelled as he charged at Sebastian, who merely lifted the red tablecloth like he was a matador in Spain. Finny went right past him, going through the wall and flying through the air before crashing into the grass.

We all shared looks as Sebastian continued to straighten out the room, as if nothing happened.

"I'll go help him." I deadpanned, walking through the room past Sebastian, who gave me a smile.

"Good morning, Miss Constance."

"Fuck off to you too Sebastian." I said, walking through the Finny-and-pool-table shaped hole in the wall. "You know, since you didn't stop him, you're just going to have to fix this big gaping hole in the wall."

"Miss Constance, you know you could merely ask me directly instead of using all these ludicrous ideas to get my attention."

"Let's please note: it's not my idea!" I yelled back, before helping the poor gardener up.

TCTCTC

Next up was Finny's plan, which wasn't that bad actually. We stood ready on a ladder at the window, hoping to get him this time.

"Did you require something, my lord?" Sebastian asked, his voice muffled by the window.

"It came undone." I had been humored to find out that Ciel actually couldn't do a bow tie when Finny told him of his plan.

"Of course my lord."

Peeking into the window, I watched as Sebastian came into frame.

"He's beautiful in profile too, yes he is!" Maylene whispered, fighting a nosebleed. No! She shouldnt be talking! He can hear us!

"Alright, now just stay there." Shut up! Just because you're whispering doesn't mean-

"4,5,6..."

"Finny!" I whispered harshly, annoyed. Sebastian turned to look out the window, and each of us darted down the ladder, out of his line of vision. My arms were wrapped around Bard's torso and the ladder, hoping not to fall and go splat

The demon opened the window, looking both left and right, but not down. He then leaned back, leaving the window open. "Let's air this room out a bit, shall we?"

My eye twitched.

TCTCTC

As it was, we were sitting on the floor, having already gone through with Maylene's plan of using broken china to lure him, but he hadn't fallen for that one, rather making the servants clean it up.

"This is turning out to be a lot harder than I thought it would." I agreed completely with Bard.

"Getting one measly photograph shouldn't be so difficult." I said, and we all sighed before the door opened. And as the saying goes, speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Though, I don't know if it had ever been taken so literally.

"There you are, I have a task for you three."

"What is it, Mister sebastian?" Maylene asked, standing up. I merely flopped back onto the floor, laying down spread eagle.

"Over there." We all looked over to the window to find the demon hound who loved sebastian as much as said demon hated it.

"The mangey pooch? What do you want us to do?" Bard asked, confused. I decided to tune them out, rather thinking about the task at hand.

Alexia, Karen, I need your guys help.

Okay, well, since Sebastian seems to be a bit partial to you

Where do you get this idea?

-Strip off all your clothes and run around naked in Ciel's office, then have Ciel take the picture so-

Absolutely not. Alexia?

Well, since Sebastian actually is a bit partial to you-

Once again, I ask, where do you get this idea?! He's stuffed freaking SOAP down my throat, not to mention the fact he LAUGHS at my pain and torture, nearly killed me on more than one occasion-

Just listen dear. This may seem a bit out of character on my part, but since it is you that shall be saying it, I don't think it really matters.

I like the sound of this already.

Shit. They were cooperating. That's never a good sign. As I listened to Alexia's idea, I would have laughed if I hadn't known it would be me doing it.

TCTCTC

Alexia's idea was planned out, and would soon be going into motion whenever I saw fit. The three servants and myself were in the earl's office showing him our low quality pictures we had so far.

"We're so sorry master." Finny said, wincing.

"Bu-But bard thought up a really good plan, yes he did!" Maylene said, lightening the mood.

"I thought of it when I saw the dog breathe fire..." Pluto could breathe fire? Hmm, that's a new one.

Ciel cut Bard off. "I hope this new plan doesn't involve a flamethrower." His tone suggested there were to be absolutely no flamethrower-wielding-pyromaniacs. The three sighed out in sadness.

The door opened, and a certain closet pervert Chinese man walked in. "My Lord, hello!" What the hell was Lau doing here?

"Mr. lau!"

"And what are you doing here?" Ciel asked, a tick forming in his eyebrow.

Lau smiled. "I heard what you were up to, and I thought I might assess." So, you were bored and decided to pay us a surprise visit and help us do whatever it is were doing?

Ciel realized the same thing. "Go away."

"My lord, please don't be so hasty. Why not relax and leave this up to me?" Did he actually know what was going on? No, he couldn't've. "I have already woven a spiders web to trap him." The Chinese man said, picking up the black sheep that was portraying Sebastian. Hmm. Maybe he really did know what was going on. "And the more he tries to struggle, the more entangled he shall become. Escape is impossible. Against me, no prey could ever stand a chance."

Ciel had a hard look in his eye before he conceded. "Very well. But I will not tolerate any failure." The Earl-for being a child-was quite scary with that evil glint on his eye. "Is that understood?"

Lau had an equally scary and shadowy face. "Yes, of course my lord. I would not allow failure to sully the Phantomhive name. I would surely be booted out of the country if I did such a thing." Wait, why is he talking about it so seriously...? Oh no.

"So, what are you up to?"

TCTCTC

Lau's plan was about to be put into action.

"Now, our plan begins." Lau said as Sebastian led the guest up the stairs. While it worked for the guest, Sebastian walked right by.

He walked right past Ran Mao, that is.

And kept walking!

"That was your big plan?!" Ciel whispered, annoyed and embarrassed. I grinned at the blush on his cheeks.

"Quite odd. How could it have failed?"

I nodded vigorously. "I agree. I'm a full blown straight woman and I would have stopped for a nosebleed or two. I mean, just look at her!" Well, maybe not full blown if Karen was bisexual.

"I was sure even the butler would stop a moment to stare."

Perhaps it should have been you up there?

Shut it, Karen.

"I was a fool for ever believing you could handle something like this." Ciel stated, trying not to look at Ran Mao.

"I have only begun to fight." Lau said, then came out from behind the pillar making a series of arm motions before hiding again.

The servants began fanning Ran Mao, and her little dress flew up, proving to everyone that she did not wear underwear, as I had learnt on my first day here.

Our guest obviously liked the view, but Sebastian did not even bat an eyelash at her.

"Coming, Mr. Jones?"

Mr. Jones got snapped out of his daze, looking at the butler. "Ah, yes, of course."

"How strange. I don't understand."

"I understand." I grinned underneath my tissue at my blushing brother. "Since he didn't stop for a girl, maybe he'd stop for you, My lord." I teased. "You could wear that Chinese dress you still have in your closet from the Jack the Ripper case."

"What did I just waste my time on?" Ciel asked, his blush getting deeper. I looked back at the butler to see him raising an eyebrow at my suggestion, obviously slightly sickened by the idea.

I still think you should have been the one on the railing. Then Sebastian would have stopped.

Yeah, to laugh at me.

TCTCTC

Ciel and I sat in his study, waiting for Sebastian to get done serving the interviewer so he would bring us our afternoon snack. I was lounging unladylike in my chair, while Ciel was contemplating on all our wasted efforts.

"Ciel-"

"We need him to stand still for ten seconds." The boy sighed and leaned against his hand. "This is the one thing I didn't want to resort to, but he's left me no choice."

I blinked confused. "Um...what are you talking about?"

He sighed and leaned against his chair. "The rest of you have taken a turn with your own plans, so now it is my turn."

"I haven't tried mine yet."

His blue eye slid up to meet mine. "Good luck. We are still going to set up mine, unless there's the off chance that you really will get a picture."

I pursed my lips. "Fine. Don't have faith in me. I'll do fine without it.

TCTCTC

After our demon hound bean cakes-in all honesty, I don't know what Ciel was complaining about, I thought they were good-Sebastian left to go continue his work, and I grabbed the camera, darting after him.

"Hey Sebastian!" I yelled as I skipped over to him, camera in hand. I had removed the lens cap and had my thumb at the ready to press the button, hidden thanks to the black cloth. The demon ahead of me stopped and turned, smiling brightly.

"Yes, miss Constance?"

I stopped, smiling up at him. "May I have a picture of you?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Why do you wish for one?"

Ever so lightly I pressed the button, counting to ten in my head. "So that way it's easier for me to masturbate." I think I actually left the butler speechless. His mouth made a slight pop as his jaw unlatched, staring down at me. As I came up to seven seconds, I continued talking. "It's just easier to have a picture, you know?" My thumb slid off the button, and I merely took in the moment, happy with the fact that I had effectively quieted the demon.

"Miss Constance...I must respectfully decline for that is not very... proper." He smirked. "Besides, if you wish, I can mate you whenever you wish."

I blushed; stupid plan that worked out. "I plan to be a virgin for as long as possible." Turning, I made my way to Ciel's office, and I heard Sebastian mutter something and go on his way. Once I saw he was gone, I darted into our makeshift darkroom, setting the picture.

TCTCTC

I sat, staring at the picture. What was I suppose to do with it? Did I give it to Ciel, or give it to Sebastian?

Looking down at it, I decided I couldn't give it to Ciel. Just knowing his personality, I knew he would use it as bribery or blackmail. It'd then just bring up the question as to why she looked like me. Besides...even if demons did not have souls like Sebastian suggested, they must have had hearts. Or else she wouldn't have shown up in the picture.

In the picture was the same woman in his journal that had looked like an Asian version of myself, however, I could see what looked like animal ears along with her normal demon ears. Blinking I paid it no mind. This was obviously Tsuki, the Japanese incarnation of mine. She stood off to the side, giggling about what was probably his reaction in the picture. Staring at the puncture, I noticed something was off about her kimono, and after a few seconds, I realized what it was.

It was folded backwards. Usually the front fold would come over the left shoulder, but here, it was coming over the right. Why was that? Furrowing my eyebrows, I stared at it a bit longer before sighing and giving up, standing and leaving for Sebastian's room.

The hallways were unusually empty, and I realized the servants must have been preparing for Ciel's plan. I kept a look out for Sebastian as well, not wanting to have to explain myself to the demon.

Knocking on what I knew to be Sebastian's door, I was graced without an answer and deemed it safe. Pulling down on the handle and pushing open his door, I found the room empty. A sigh of relief escaped me as I entered, walking over to his nightstand.

I was looking down at the picture one last time when the living shit got scared out of me.

"Miss Constance, why are you in my room?"

My back stiffened at the sound of his voice. Slowly turning around, I sighed.

"Don't get your panties in a wad, I just came to give this to you." I held out the picture to the demon, who walked over, delicately taking it. "It didn't seem right to give it to Ciel."

Looking up at him, I couldn't tell if he was beyond pissed at me, or giving me his stupid fake smile. I gulped when I realized it was both.

"Well Miss Constance. It would seem you have something to keep quiet about. It would be devastating to have you disappear if word of this got around." His eyes shut in his smile, and he took a step forward, inducing me to take a step back; I knew he wouldn't actually hurt me-hope rather-but the aura he was giving off was positively frightening. It continued until the point my back was up against the wall, his face level with mine. I tried and hoped and willed myself to go through the wall, but found that both it and I were too solid. "Especially since you are her."

I found my mouth completely dry, and my tongue felt like sand paper. "Se-Sebastian, what is she? And why is her Kimono backwards?"

The demon stood up to full height, peering down at me. "In Japanese folklore, the spirits of the dead wear their kimono's inverted."

"Oh." I guess that made a bit of sense. Not really, but Japan was a different world than both the one I grew up in and the one I was in now. "What is she? I'm guessing a demon, but she seems different from you...you know, she doesn't have a stick up her ass and all that." His eyes turned to me, glowing like flames. I swallowed, and he turned to look down at the picture, eyes returning to normal.

"I told you once before how some breeds have to be born-the ones that are earthbound. Most earthbound demons originally hail from Japan."

My eyes widened as I remembered our brief conversation. "Ah! You're talking about those other demons you had mentioned before telling me you were from Ithaca."

"Yes. She was a neko youkai."

I furrowed my eyebrows. Wasn't that...my eyes lit up in realization. "Cats. That's why you love cats so much. Because she was a Cat Demon."

Sebastian turned to me. "Yes. Now leave. I've answered your questions."

My mouth fell. "But I still have more! Like, what was she like? How did she-" my last word die cut off as I found Sebastian's face in mine. I squeaked, jumping away from his glowing eyes and falling ungracefully onto my backside.

"Miss Constance. As you know, I have killed my mate in a bout of anger more than once, so do not believe you will fare much better." I nodded, just wanting to get out of the room. "The door is to you right."

I scrambled up and ran out of the room, all the way to Ciel's office, where the Earl stood staring out the window.

"What happened to you?"

I shook my head, regaining my breathing. "Just royally pissed off Sebastian."

TCTCTC

I stood, sweatdropping at the elaborate plan the Earl had set up. My eyes stayed focused on Ciel, fearing for his life. In my peripheral, I saw the large headless angel statue in Finny's hands.

"Are you sure this is okay?" Was the gardener really willing to do this?! I began wringing my hands nervously, biting my lip.

Ciel smirked. "Yes."

"Ciel, I'm not sure if this is your greatest idea." I said, in effort for him to perhaps come up with a less suicidal plan.

He jerked his face up, and I could see the intent in his eyes. "Do it, Finny!"

The strawberry blonde gardener squeezed his eyes shut and forced himself to throw the killer piece of art into the air. After he released it, he crouched low to the ground holding his head. Looking up, I could see the sculpture rapidly descending. I bit my lip as it got closer; I couldn't take it anymore.

"Ciel..." I whispered, my breathing increasing. "No!" I ran towards him, hoping to push him out of the way; I couldn't have him taken away. "Maverick!"

I had wrapped him in my arms, and looked at the angel, less than five feet away. My eyes squeezed shut as it got closer, waiting for the impact and death.

It was when my head banged painfully on the ground that I realized the giant rock hadn't murdered us. Opening my eyes, I found a black clad butler gazing down at us, the wings from the sculpture visible before they crumpled. The demon helped us sit up, checking for bumps on our heads. Suddenly from above us, sparks flew. I looked up, seeing some Chinese dragon things shooting the sparks, enlightening the area for a picture.

"What a charming picture the three of you make." I turned and glared at the Chinese man before looking back at Ciel.

"You're late." He spat, annoyed at having been forced to the ground. Sebastian sighed.

"My apologies, I was preparing dinner." Sebastian went on to talk about some french dish he made, but it all sounded gibberish to me. I tuned it all out, the foreign words hurting my ears. I felt myself lifted up, and my vision started to sway, along with black spots floating before my eyes.

TCTCTC

"It seems you do have a bump residing on your head;" Sebastian said, examining my scalp. "You must have collided with the ground harder than I originally thought.

I sighed. "So you're saying I have a concussion? Wonderful." I too up, against the demons wishes. "I'm going to go give that brat a piece of my mind; not only did he give me a concussion, he nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Ah, if you are going to visit him, do let him know I shall be coming to take him to bed soon."

I rolled my eyes before deciding it was too painful to do that. Instead, I choose to make a noise of understanding, my eye twitching at Ciel's antics and I left for his office. I opened the door without knocking, and expected a lecture to follow. However I was pleasantly surprised to find the room dark and to see the boy of my hostility slumped over, his breathing deep and slow. A smile rose on my face. Kissing the top of his head, I left to sit in the window sill, waiting for him to hopefully wake up soon-after all, it wasn't natural for a person to sleep sitting up. Eventually, he would awake...

TCTCTC

I glared at the demon. Why the hell did he take that damn picture? Now the servants would all be pestering me about it...

"Miss Tabby! Miss Tabby!" I looked up, my head still aching.

"Yes?" I asked, looking at the gardener. "What's wrong Finny?"

"Who is it that cares most about Sebastian? You, the young master, or plu-plu?" I sighed. I knew that was the question.

"To be honest," I started, sighing again. "I think it's the position the being is." He blinked at me innocently, realizing I was implying it was Ciel. "Now, if you would excuse me, I'm going to my room."

The walk seemed to be unnaturally long and tiring. I wanted to sleep, though once Sebastian found me sleeping, he wouldn't let me sleep the rest of the night. Once I got to my room, I collapsed onto my bed. However, before I landed face first into my comforter, I had noticed something on my nightstand, and I blindly searched for the object out of place. Once I grabbed it, I brought the paper to my face and opened my eyes; tears immediately filled them. Standing up, I decided my nap could wait; first, I needed to find that demon.

Entering the dining room, I found Ciel and Sebastian with lunch. I seemed to have walked in on their conversation. "The image in a photograph isn't real; only an illusion." The demon was smiling reminiscently. "But that is humanities way, seeking to preserve it even if it is an illusion. Because you fear that one day it will be forgotten."

I smiled. "Well, aren't you quite the hypocrite." Both males looked up, surprised by my presence. "That is humanity's way? If so, you've gotten soft on us Sebastian." His eyes widened as he realized I was speaking of the picture with my incarnation. However, before he could reply, I walked up and hugged him, crying into his chest. "Thank you, Sebastian. I'm sure you didn't mean for it to, but it means the world to me." The demon stood stiff under my touch, but did not pull away, instead allowing me to cry.

The picture of Maverick smiling down at my sleeping form was clutched tightly in my hand.

I'm also sorry about any punctuation or grammar mistakes. I can only reread so much of it at one time XD (i've no idea how you all can read this crap-and like it too boot-while i fall asleep reading it.)

Speaking of sleep, i shall go read this so i'll finally get some.

Btw, the Tabby Cat banner is almost done. My new icon (evilvampireducky. deviantart. com) is a really really really small version of the two of 'em flashing back and forth.

So far, i really like the way the hair came out. And especially sebby's clothes(coloring wise, at the least)

Updating Saturday!
