Hello, hope you all enjoy the story and further chapters to come!

Sebastian lays the oddly dressed and seemingly Asian pinkette down on the bed, studying her curiously. She had short and currently messy pink hair with red 'X' clips on both sides. She was dressed in rather odd attire for what he suspected was a school uniform.

A dark green cloth that matched her uniform was pinned on the left arm of her jacket. Sebastian wondered what the cloth was for but then he notices her tie was not tied all the way but instead left some space between the tie and her neck. Another standing-out feature of her uniform was her belt which was black and studded. She wore her shirt tucked in with the belt making Sebastian wonder why would a female need to wear a belt on her shirt. He also noticed that the girl wore socks or were they leg warmers? They matched the skirt of her uniform and were loose towards her feet but started at her knees and were held up tiny mini-belts from what he could see.

Suddenly the child stirs, not letting the butler observe her queer clothing any longer to instead watch on, waiting till she noticed him. Startled for sure, Amu sat up not recognizing her surroundings or the blood red-eyed man looking at her. But when she moved, she cringed from the aching sensation coursing through her muscles.

What happened?

"Can you speak and understand English little one?"

Amu looked him over and nodded silently at Sebastian. She pulled the sheets up, covering up her lower torso and watched as he pulled up a chair to sit in her view.

"Do you remember your name?"

"Yes"

"Do you know where you are?"

"No"

"What do you last remember?"

"I was at a museum with my classmates and we were on a tour but then all of a sudden, I felt like the ground gave way. The last thing I remember was my tour guide trying to pull me up but something inside whatever I was falling into kind of like 'yanked' me in. After that I blacked out and now here I am."

Sebastian was impressed, she spoke English fluently as if it was her first language.

"You are Japanese correct?"

"Yes"

"Im guessing whenever you're from, English is a mandatory subject."

"Yes, we-wait whenever?"

"You're in England, decades behind the 20th century."

Sebastian watched her process the new information, she looked stricken but not necessarily worried.

"You were caught in a wormhole but the chances of you ever going back is unlikely.

Amu's eyes widened, alarmed at the fact that she was stuck in this strange new place.

"I'll talk to the Master to see what he says. In the meantime, you can rest here little Missus."

"You can call me Amy. It's what my grandparents call me."

Sebastian merely smiled nonchalantly and bowed before turning to leave.

What an interesting little girl.

Ciel wondered if Sebastian was trying to play some sort of queer joke and frowned at his manservant.

"What's your game this time? I have a lot of work to do Sebastian."

The demon smiles, unsurprised by his master's reaction.

"Young Master, if you do not believe me, come see for yourself. She will not disappoint."

Ciel deadpanned but he followed the tall demon servant regardless to the guestroom where supposedly the Japanese girl was residing in.

Amu sighed deeply, her charas were still enclosed in their eggs. She wished they would be around. She was feeling odd and out of place being now, forever stuck in the past. But now that she thought about it, this could be a new beginning for her.

After all, the Guardians have been a little awkward around her since she didn't have charas anymore plus her parents have been paying much more attention to Ami since her sister started school.

Utau was busy with her career and Ikuto well...he had other priorities.

The pinkette shakes her head, trying to shake the thoughts and absentmindedly brushes her hand against the Humpty Lock which was has been cold to the touch as of late. It used to be warm in her hand but since her charas went back to their eggs, the Humpty Lock has been different and so has she.

Amu had thought she would have been okay with her charas gone but instead Amu finds herself more lost that she had ever been in her entire life.

Maybe, living in the past to start anew might actually be what she needed; a getaway from everything; her family, black X-eggs, the Guardians and etc.

Suddenly she hears a knock on the door and grips the Humpty Lock in fright before putting away underneath her shirt.

"Enter"

The first thing that caught the young earl's attention were her eyes. A pair of elegant, dewpond round eyes the colour of sparkling, golden honey looking back at him curiously. He blinked a couple of times from her gaze and looked her over curiously eventually noting her pink hair.

"Is your hair colour natural or-?"

Amu's narrowed, obviously irritated, "Natural"

Ciel frowned, not used to seeing other teenagers his own age.

"Are you of the son of the master of this house?"

Ciel let out a loud snort while Sebastian bit back a smirk, "This my dear, is the lord of the house. Earl Ciel Phantomhive."

Amu stared as if Sebastian just announced that Ciel was about to grow a second head.

"He looks my age! How can he be an earl?"

"Don't point, it's rude."

Amu lowered her hand, looking at Ciel suspiciously.

"Sebastian tells me your name is Amy. Is that true?"

"Nickname"

"Whats your real name then?"

"Amelia Amulet Hinamori. Everyone else besides my grandparents call me Amu."

Sebastian couldn't help but smirk, "Because Amu sounds cuter?"

Amu snorted, "No because Amu fits me more. Amy is the cute name."

Ciel nodded, agreeing with her. A simple name like Amy didn't suit the fiery spirit that the girl was emitting.

"So, what's going to happen to me now?"

"You may stay at my mansion as a maid. You will live in the service quarters with my other maid Mey Rin tomorrow onward but for today you may rest here. I will be calling my tailor to come by to design your maid uniform. She will arrive after dinnertime."

Amu nods her head slowly, digesting the new information, "Thank you Master"

Ciel twitched slightly at the address, somehow to him, it felt odd to hear her call him such but not unpleasant.

"Sebastian will help you put together something you can wear to dinner in the meantime I have work to do."

The demon butler watches, intrigued as Ciel made his way out.

He had never seen his master in such a hurry to leave a mystery behind.

How interesting...

Ciel stared as Amu entered the dining room, dressed in clothes of his century.

She carried a faint but sweet scent of strawberries and vanilla, looking much more rested and fresh since he last saw her. She wore her hair down and because it was neatly combed this time around, Ciel could see that just the tips of it brushed at her shoulders as she walked. A single hair braid tied with a red ribbon with a little 'X' stood out against her already striking bubblegum pink hair.

She wore white petal collar lantern long-sleeved shirt with a high waisted black skirt that ended below the knee and brown heeled boots with intricate lacing on her small feet.

"Master, whose this little lady that's joining us for dinner? I thought you said we got a new maid?"

Reluctantly, Ciel turned to Bard as Sebastian helped Amu into a seat.

"This is her."

Mey Rin gasped, surprised that a pretty little girl would be sharing a room with her soon while Finnian just stared at Amu, taking in how pretty she is in her new clothes.

"Are you wearing my shoes?"

Sebastian resisted the urge to smirk somehow, replying his master, "Well you two do have the same foot size."

Ciel scowls, eyeing his new maid carefully "And where pray tell did you find clothes like this?"

"I just took her measurements and sewed them myself, she designed the clothes on her own actually."

Ciel frowned, meeting eyes with the pinkette, "You are aware of this era's fashion?"

"This era for fashion has been memorable and will continue to be in the future."

She says nothing else, turning to Sebastian.

"When may we eat?"

"Well you can start now if you like. We do not say grace or anything like that, also everyone is already here."

Amu blinked, looking around only to realize that Ciel was the only sole person from the established family that stayed in the house. She wondered what happened but decided it was best to stay quiet for now.

The servants introduced themselves politely and Amu could not help but feel more relaxed as Tanaka spoke to her in Japanese. He told her that Amu will be referred to as his granddaughter from now on with a cover story that she had lost her family in a carriage accident and will be staying at the mansion as her new permanent residence. Amu did not mind at all, Tanaka seemed like a gentle soul that she could see herself getting along with easily.

Plus, the staff seemed rather nice although she wished Finnian would stop looking at her like that spectacles wearing fan boy that followed her about everywhere back at elementary school, it was kind of giving her the creeps.

Ciel watched as she ate quietly, impressed by the way she handled her cutlery, did she have training of some kind?

She could tell which spoon and which fork was for which and was using them efficiently and elegantly he might add.

Who was this girl?

To say Nina Hopkins was elated over having someone new to tailor over was an understatement, she was enthusiastic.

"I have many designs perfect for this pretty child! Here Ciel, please approve!"

Ciel's face flamed like a tomato seeing uncanny drawings of Amu in short skirted, lacy and intricate detailed maid outfits.

"She is my age for crying out loud! Please make more conservative clothing Nina!"

"Why Earl! You know me! Bold clothing is just my way!"

Sebastian snorted, "If you can only do a certain type of clothing then obviously you aren't much of a designer now are you?"

Amu watched in awe and maybe with a slight discomfort as Nina and Sebastian went at it, arguing over what she should wear. Curious, she picks up the designs that fell on the floor and blushes once she had gone over them. The pinkette did like them, in fact they looked very much like the kind of modern clothing girls of a more adult age would wear but for now Amu was just a tween so she had to wear clothing that fit her but still retained her style. Ignoring everything else around her, including Ciel who now joined the verbal debate with Sebastian against Nina; Amu sat on the floor, flipped a page and started drawing.

An hour later, Amu halted the fight to show the expressive tailor her drawings. Nina had to admit that she liked the designs and wondered if the girl was interested in a career in fashion. She made a mental note to ask later. She takes the sketchpad from the child with a devious smile.

"I will make a modification here and there but I can definitely whip up something that you'll enjoy wearing my dear including the Earl."

She gives a soft peck on the forehead of Amu before waving merrily at the earl and his butler on her way out almost in a rush to get started on her new project.

"What did you draw?" Ciel asks as he approached the pinkette.

"You'll see milord. If you'll excuse me, I would like to retire to my room."

She curtsies respectfully and leaves much to Ciel's bafflement, he had never met anyone that peeked his curiosity this much before.

Things were definitely going to change.
