Harmony could barely contain her thrill and excitement of going to Phantomhive manor, or, in her mind and imagination. Palace, the pirate's palace. Gasping and giggling at the scenary before her wide eyes. Never had seen such a sight of vast open land. Sure living in a nice quiet town, she'd be use to it. But, it was so small, it was all she knew. Until now.

Hearing her gasps of delights from inside the carriage driven by Sebastian, she had asked to sit next to him so she could see everything. At first she wanted to sit next to her pirate friend, Ciel. Which prompt him to quickly agree to the little girl sitting with the butler. Just to escape her and not having to deal with her. Which meant it would give you and Ciel time to talk things over, but you choose to remain mute. No doubt still upset and bothered by what he had done.

Using Sebastian on Harmony like that. Telling her all the wonderful things, indirectly getting you to leave. Filling the little girl's mind with wonder, she'd beg you to go. Crafty tactic, you had to admit. But, dirty none the less. Harmony was easily prey to wonder. Hearing her gasping and asking the butler all sorts of questions and getting him to look at what she saw. Brought you little joy, not enough to extinguish the animosity towards the young Earl. Who clearly could care less about your brooding and glaring eyes.

"Brooding isn't proper for a lady."He tells you, glaring back. You hiss inside. This dominance he carried around him. Inflamed his ego. He loved to win.

The feeling was mutual, though on the opposite end of the spectrum. You dislike being tricked."I shall brood as long as I like."You said coldly back."If it is such a problem, than you should have thought about tha-"

"Brooding isn't proper for a lady."He repeats, cutting you off. Smirking."As I said before."

This little boy was really starting to annoy you. How in the world was Angelina related to such an obnoxious and self absorbed person? It made no sense. She was always so kind an caring. It not over the top, while he was rude, stuck up and just horrible.

"And should I wish not to be a proper lady?"You say back to him."What then?"

He looks down at his ring, before answering."You have no choice in that matter. In this class of society you must be so. It's only proper."

"I am proper."

He scoffs. Still with that smirk."I'm quite sure you. In your own way."Looking at your clothes."You should smile more. Your sister seems too."

You where about to say something when Harmony screams with enticement."Sister! Sister! May! I see it! I see!"She gasp and pulls on Sebastian's sleeve."It's so big! Wow!"

The manor was quite amazing, after getting through the mist covered forest see the gargantuan building. Upon the vast land that surrounded it. Something you remember seeing in your history books. Manors like this, but this one was better. You see looking out the window. Though amazing, you felt uneasy. It made you wonder the kind of house no home you had inherited from Angeline. Was it this big? You didn't need anything this big and loud.

Keeping a low profile was imperative, for you and Harmony's survival here. Drawing too much attention, wasn't a good thing. And you had your reason why. As the carriage approached the manor, you saw long stairway leading to the entrance, where a huge fountain is established nearby. Standing in front of the steps, a couple of people. At least five. Five males and one female. Dressed as servants. Whom Harmony happily greeted and waved to. Leaning over the side, stretching herself that she pay attention and slips off the side once the carriage stops. Hearing her panic yelp, react and rush to her aide. Jumping out the carriage before it stopped to get her.

"Harmony!"Arms out finding her safely in Sebastian's arms.

He gives you a smile."Do not worry, dear lady. Lady Harmony is safe and well."That she was with a smile on. He sets her down on the ground and holds her hand so she wouldn't run off and goes to Ciel. Apologizing for what happened.

"You should be."Ciel scolds him, stepping out and shoots you a disapproving look."I told you, you are to be a proper lady. Proper ladies do not jump out a moving carriage."

"I will act as I please, if my sister is of need of me."You tell him firmly. The two of you lock stares and fight for dominance. The others watch shocked at your boldness towards the young Lord. Who was clearly becoming irritated by it.

Someone had to end this tension between the two. And luckily someone did. "Hello. I'm Harmony."Harmony greets the others, going over to them. Surprising Sebastian. He looks to his side finding her gone and over to the others. Left him rather stun. She gave all of them a big smile."What are you names?"

"Well, aren't ya just the cutest."The ragged looking man with the cigarette in his mouth gets down to her level. The others follow. Surrounding her."The names Baldory."He gives her a big grin.

The next to introduce themselves, the only female and maid with rather large glasses."And I'm Mey Rin. You'r right, she is a cutie. That she is."

"I love your hair."Harmony tells her touching it. Melting Mey Rin, who swoons over her comically.

"And I like you bow."The younger male said, with big blue innocent eyes and child like air around him."It's really lovely. Hi, I'm Finnian."He reaches out to shake her hand, which Harmony reaches back.

Scaring everyone, Baldory panicking telling him to stop. But it was too late, they hold hands and...shook delicately. The two smile at each other."Hello Finnian."Feeling something slitter, no lick her ear made her turn around finding a rather pale, thin man standing over her. It looked like he had scales for skin. With a snake on him. Harmony wasn't at all scared. She was infact delighted to meet the snake."Hello, who are you?"

This surprised the young man and snake. Harmony waited for the snake to say something."My name is Keith, says Keith."The man said, speaking in a rather strange third person way.

"Hello Keith."Harmony pets it, surprising everyone the snake didn't do anything. She couldn't help but giggle and gush."I love you. You're really sweet cute! May! May did you see? I pet the little snake!"

She turns and runs to you, burying her face in your skirt. With a cute blush upon her cheeks. Glancing back at the others, melting their hearts."She's so sweet!"May Rin expresses. Her eyes beaming with love."And she loves my hair!"

"It seems the child has capture everyone."Sebastian tells the young Earl.

Who gives a quick look over to his servants now all swarming around the little girl, who clearly enjoyed the attention. Starting to play a hand game with Finnian."Her adjustment will easy. She's easily captivated by anything. Though,"He looks at you standing close by Harmony."She might prove to be difficult. Her sister will see to that she isn't. Everyone."He gets the servants attention. They stop and give him their attention. Standing ordeal and at attention.

Harmony stopped but kept close to them. Especially Finnien and Snake. Holding their hands. While doing her best to hold in a rising giggle. Ciel with Sebastian behind stand before the others. His presence commanding. They look at him respectfully and await what he had to say.

"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my late Aunt Angelina's adoptive children. The now Baroness May O'Neil-Dallas and her younger sister Honorable Harmony O'Neil-Dallas. Who will be now addressed as The Lady Harmony. They-"

"Please,"you interrupt him."O'Neil is just fine."The shocked looks on the others faces was not because of what you said, it was what you did you. Even Sebestain couldn't believe it.

Shocked himself. Ciel wasn't pleased a hard look on his face. With nothing else to say, he turning back to the others continues."They're my cousins and have been put in my care. For the time being. You will treat them with the highest respect. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Harmony and May. Let me introduce you to the Phantomhive caretakers of this manor. Beldory, our cook. Finnien our gardener. Mey-Rin our maid. Snake our footman and Tanka our Stewart. And of course you know Sebastian the head butler. They will see all your needs."

"Mr. Pirate?"Harmony calls to Ciel, who cringes in annoyance."I'm not a lady. I'm only..."she counts on her fingers."Five."

The others do their best not snicker from what she called him. Afraid of Ciel's wrath. Which seem likely to explode on the little girl. But he kept calm composer."You are a lady now, Harmony."He said gritting between his teeth.

She still didn't understand. Cocking her head to the side."How?"

"You will become a proper lady. Doesn't that sound exciting?"

She thinks about it for a few seconds, trying to wrap her little mind around it. But it was clear she wasn't understanding it. And begin to become frustrated, puffing out her cheeks. Tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.

"She's going to explode!"Baldory panics.

You hurry to calm her down, but Finnian comes to help her understand."It means that, you're going to get to have lovely tea parties. And wear really nice clothes. And play with really great toys! Doesn't that sound like fun? Oh there will be parties too."

"Toys? Fun?"Harmony calms down wiping her eyes, looking at him. He smiles at her, nodding his head."I can play?"

"Huh. Yeah! Isn't that going to be great!"

It took her second to think about it and agrees."Yes. I love toys! I love fun!"he takes her hands in his gently."Does that mean you can play with me too? All of you?"She looks at the others. With a big smile. They couldn't say no and nod back. Delighted she squeals."Then I want to be a proper lady! Sister! We get to be proper ladies!"Looking at you."Isn't that wonderful?"

All eyes fell on you, your mouth shut as you struggle against what you wanted to say. She needed to understand. This couldn't the life either of you could live."Harmony,"Your tone drops, along with her smile. You look at her big amber eyes. Glossing up ready to cry."...It will be wonderful."You smile.


"Oh! Wow! It's so big in here!"Harmony gasp upon entering the manor. Her little eyes marvel at everything from the grand foyer. Stairs leading up, to split in two directions.

There where pictures hung about the room, priceless, elegant and no doubt expensive decorative items lining along the wall. Showing status of this place. You felt rather uncomfortable and nervous. Afraid you might break something. Doing your best to tread carefully. You would normally have Harmony by you, so she wouldn't try to go up to something and touch it. But, she stayed by Finnian who piggy backed her.

Unlike you, she was more fascinated by everything. Pointing, gasping, asking questions. Which Finnian and the others answered to their best. She actually believed them. Wanting the tell her more. Which ended up in stories they clearly fabricated. It kept her entertained, which was good for you. But, it was weird. Use to her being by your side, she clearly was enjoying the idea of becoming a lady and living here. You knew right away Ciel used her again against you. Making you change your words at the last minute, because you knew Harmony wouldn't be happy.

It was best for you to keep your distance from the boy, but you shot him heated daggers, you didn't pay attention when you went upstairs and nearly bump into the cook. Causing everyone to suddenly stop and hold their breaths.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!"He apologizes."Forgive me."

"Baroness, are you alright?"Sebastian comes over seeing if you where alright. Stopping when you turned away from him and insisted you where.

"I'm fine."You huff and walk up the rest of the stairs, passing everyone. Grumbling under your breath. Stopping when you heard Harmony tell you to wait.

"Finnian, put me down. Please."She tells him. He does and she hurries over and takes hold of your hand. Stopping you."Sister."She looks up at you.

Your eyes soften."I'm sorry. Forgive me. I did not mean to storm off like that."

She became worried."Don't you like it here?"

"This place is lovely. I do."You tell her."Do you enjoy it?"Popping her nose lightly, making her smile.

"Yes, very much. Finnian said I get to have a really, really big room."She whispers loudly in your ears. So much for being secretive.

"How lucky you are."You tell her. The others gather around."What do you think will be in there?"

"Mountains and mountains of toys and cookies!"She throws up her arms."This big. And...and..."She tries to remember.

"Dresses. Emily says."Snake reminds her.

"Yes. Dresses!"

Ciel speaks up."We will have to go into London to shop and get you fitted for them. Both of you. Still,"he looks at you and Harmony displeased."Sebastian, before tomorrow tailor appropriate attire for them both. I will not have them dressed like that, going in to London. It's offensive and demeaning."

"Yes, My Lord."

You didn't take kindly to his choice of words. About to say something, when Harmony runs down the hall. Calling for Finnian and Snake to follow her."I want to see my room!"Her voice echoing down the hall.

With a cheerful laughter, Finnian runs after her."Coming! Coming! Let's go Snake! Come on everyone!"He encourages the others who join him. All of them chasing after the little girl.

Leaving you, Ciel and Sebastian standing there."...Wel-"Sebastian says, stopping when you lightly chuckle. Though try to hide it. It amused him. Feeling his eyes on you, you shoot him cold eyes and walk away. Stopping to address Ciel.

"I warn you, do not play with Harmony. With my sister."You warn him, looking at him."...She is not one to be used."Turning you back to him hurry after the little one.

Ciel kept his eyes on you."Sebastian, make sure Lady Harmony's room is filled the newest of toys and greeted with two cookies every morning."He with a devious smirk. Understanding Ciel's true intent, smiles.

"Yes, My Lord."
