I do not own Kuroshitsuji.

A trip back to the past. After the first time she made a promise to herself to never step back there, but here she was about to head back. No matter what though, she would go back to the past to save Sebastian. Femi would have the answer, if there was any way to break the seal on her power Femi would know because she had seen it all. While every other-self Femi had become faded away with the next life she stayed in that place watching it all.

Taking a deep breath, Larisa looked over to Shimon and nodded her head, "Alright let's do this," she told him.

Nodding the blonde demon turned away and held a hand, the air around began to warp but before anything happened his concentration was shatter by a loud, "WAIT!" yelled Sam. Running into the lit backyard Sam skidded to a stop just short of them. Panting as she caught her breath Sam look up and sighed, "Hold on," she said.

Gazing at her surprised, Larisa frowned, "Sammy, what are you doing here?" she asked surprised.

Standing up straight once she caught her breath, Sam frowned, "Just wait, Kyo just told me what happened and don't apologize for not telling. I don't blame you for putting me at the back of your mind seeing how Sebastian is in a bad place, but despite that we can't be stupid!" she said.

Frowning at that, Larisa walked over, "What do you mean we?" she asked Sam confused.

Crossing her arms, Sam frowned, "If I followed you when you chased Claude what makes you think I won't follow you to save Sebastian?! I love you Lala, I'm going to help you save the guy you love because I know if it was me trying to save Kyo you would help me! So, we're going to the past but we're not going empty handed like last time. This time we have the opportunity to plan ahead, so we're planning ahead!" she told her sternly.

"Plan ahead," repeated Larisa.

Giving her a stern look Sam frowned, "What was your plan?" she asked.

Looking at her embarrassed, Larisa frowned, "Um, well, I'm going to the past…and speaking to Femi," she said feeling very stupid. She had no plan, she was jumping into it just like last time and it probably would have ended just like last time.

Sighing at that Sam smiled, "Lala, we know your bad off if I'm the one making sense. Now, first we need more than Shimon…past Claude is there and even if we won't be seeking him it's better to be safe than sorry, so…I know your all listening, who's coming?" she asked turning to the house.

Stepping out confidently, Kyo smiled, "This time I shall join and make sure to protect you and my queen, Alphonse you come too but the rest of you stay and guard Sebastian. We don't need that little shit Charles coming when our king is weak," he said.

"Alright then," said Alphonse stepping out of the house as well.

"The fort will be taken care of, but, before that, my queen will I be getting in trouble if I maul your ex-little-boyfriend?" asked Loki with a twisted smirk.

Looking over at the dark hair demon, Larisa scowled, "Maul him all you want but don't kill him, you'll just give the people he's with more incentive to come and attack us," she told him.

Grinning at that, Loki gave her a two-finger salute before heading back inside. Gazing at her friend surprised Sam sighed, "Well Charles is officially on the enemy list. Oh well, it's what he deserves for doing what he did. Now, aside from that where are we going?" asked Sam

Clearing his throat, Shimon spoke up, "The queen suggested the same time period, but a different country," he told her.

Shaking her head, Sam frowned, "I don't think that's wise," she said.

Frowning at that Larisa peered at her curious, "Why? I don't want to screw with the past any more than I already have," she told her.

Shaking her head, Sam waved her hands, "Sebastian doesn't remember us, we aren't doing anything when we go to the past. Besides, we need past Sebastian because if you remember correctly. Femi didn't take you into your mind till after Sebastian weakened you with his feedings," she told her.

"Alphonse and Shimon can feed on me," argued Larisa.

"I reject," said Shimon right away.

"I'm going to have to decline as well," said Alphonse apologetically.

Looking over surprised, Larisa frowned, "Why?" she asked them.

Chuckling at that, Alphonse scratched his head, "Well for two reasons, the first being your Lord Sebastian's mate. Maybe you're not fully marked but we all know in the end you're going to accept his mark and that means your off limits. To a demon, biting is a rather intimate act and has some heavy meaning behind it, so there's no way anyone here can bite you," he told her.

Frowning at that, Larisa pondered that, "I really need to learn more about demons, so what's the second reason?" she asked.

Crossing his arms Shimon frowned, "I'm ready to teach you our customs. As for the second reason, you do not realizing how appealing your blood is…when it isn't tainted. Lord Sebastian shows great restraint when he licks your wounds…I'm sorry to admit I would probably not be able to demonstrate that same restraint," he told her.

Sighing at that Larisa nodded and walked over the porch to sit down, "Right…so back to mean past Sebastian and grandpa. Ugh, Grandpa Ciel totally going to give us attitude. He told us not to show up in his time again," she said, he told her that before she slipped into her coma.

Rolling her eyes, Sam smirked, "Larisa, he's a child, we'll just stick him in a corner or take away his video game privileges. I mean come on we're bigger than him! We can step on him!" she snorted.

Smiling at that, Larisa shook her head, "Come on, he's a child trying to be an Earl…true he's kind of a jackass but he's got enough issues without you punishing him," she told her.

Laughing Sam shook her head, "You're just saying that because he's essentially your baby brother…won't save him from me though," she announced.

"Okay we know where we're going, who we'll be around, so what else?" asked Larisa.

"We're taking some things of comfort with us to the past because last time we didn't and that suck major balls so go inside and pack. We met back in an hour," said Sam heading out once more.

Watching her leave the yard, Larisa sighed and turned back to the house heading for her old room not really sure what to pack and take with her. Wandering in she gazed at the room Sebastian created for her when her mind was a blank. He didn't even think to put her in the same room as him…he thought of her comfort first.

Making her way back to Sebastian's room she peered in and watched him quietly as he laid on his bed in silence, even though he was weak he still looked like a picture of strength. Clutching the doorway, she jumped when he opened his eyes and looked over to her, "Come to say good-bye?" he asked her.

Heading in Larisa crawled onto the bed with him and snuggled up to him feeling that overwhelming sensation of safety when he wrapped his arms around her. Letting out a satisfying sigh she smiled, "Not going to stop me?" she asked him amused. Relaxing when he began to run his finger through her long raven locks, her heart was already aching.

Once more she would be separated from her Sebastian, but it was the only way she could save him so she was just going to commit this to memory! Smiling and closing his eyes, Sebastian shook his head, "I don't have the strength to stop you…besides I know you'll be safe with Shimon, Kyo, and Alphonse along with Samantha. After this is all over I will have to do something special for them all, especially Samantha. I'm able to rest easier knowing you have a good friend," he said quietly.

Smiling at that, Larisa nodded, "You can repeat that! I would be completely bonkers if not for her," she told him before pulling back. Peering at him Larisa frowned, "Sebastian…promise me you'll stay strong," she told him.

"It won't even be a day for me," Sebastian told her.

Nodding at that Larisa traced the pattern on his sheets, "I know, it'll barely be even a second to you, but it won't for me…" she said trailing off. She would survive for months inside the past and during that time she knew for certain she would dread it. Worrying if she would get to talk to Femi and not to mention find information to save Sebastian.

Watching Sebastian in silence she was surprised when he reached over to his bedside table and opened a drawer, reaching in he pulled out a glimmering piece of jewelry. Passing over a golden bracelet, he waited for her to take it and when she did she was surprised, "Are all these my rings from before you came?" she asked him surprised.

There was the cherry blossom ring she got when she was eight, purple phlox when she was thirteen, and orange tulips when she was five. He connected them all together on a bracelet, the tiny gems he shaped like flowers, he even included that engagement ring! Gazing at the engagement ring she smiled at it fondly, "It seems like a decade ago that I got this from you…didn't I faint when I did?" she asked him amused.

Smiling at that Sebastian nodded, "Yes, then you ran into town…not sure why, but you ran into the Undertaker reintroducing him into your life as well as mine," he said.

Frowning Larisa felt a stab of sadness, "…I ran into Claude on that trip. He talked me out of going to a priest, although truth be told I probably never would have went anyway," she told him. Feeling some tears at the edges of her eyes, she peered away, "I know I shouldn't tell you…but I miss him, he caused me a lot of chaos…but…" she muttered trailing off.

"He's the first person to love you…completely," answered Sebastian.

Giving him a sad smile she looked away, "At this point he's the only person to love me…if Charles really loved me he wouldn't have done this. I swear things between me and him are over! I will never forgive him for what he's done. He's turned my body into a weapon!" she cried. She was supposed to strengthen demons and Charles transformed her into a poison.

Letting her tears break free at long last, Larisa gazed at him barely seeing him through the blur of her tears, "This is all my fault, if I just listened to you we wouldn't be here!" she cried. Trying to brush away her tears she found them just falling faster as she began to hiccup. Her chest felt ready to explode as she tried to hold it in but at the same time she just let it all out.

Feeling a pair of hands cup her jaw she was brought in close and kissed gently by Sebastian and like always he was making her worries wash away. It really was unfair how he was able to do this, she should be feeling gut-wrenching guilt for what she's done and he was making her feel alright. Pulling away from him she shook her head, "Stop making it all better! I did something bad!" she cried.

Pulling her close, Sebastian frowned, "You chose to trust Charles and be friends with him once more, you've done nothing wrong, Larisa. He betrayed your trust and that's something he will regret for the rest of his life," he told her, petting her hair comforting her.

Frowning at that Larisa wrapped her arms around him, "When I come back, I promise I'll have the solution, Sebastian. I won't let you die," she told him determined.

Smiling at that, Sebastian nodded, "I don't usually believe humans, but I will choose to believe in you my bride. Before that however, I would like to give you something…and tell you something," he said, once more reaching into the bedside table. Pulling out a black velvet ring box he opened it up and showed her a ring inside.

The ring had a platinum band with the words 'My Bride' inscribed on the inside, aside from the inscription were etchings of strange symbols she didn't recognize. They were certainly beautiful though and so alien adding to their beauty. Apart from the band there were three gems a large pear-cut sapphire sat between two rose cut colorless diamonds.

Smiling at her, Sebastian pulled out the ring and held it up for her to see, "I've said it before, but, I'll say it as many times as I need too. Will you be, my bride?" he asked her, taking the ring out. Holding it up for her to see, he smiled, "What do you say?" he asked her

Gazing at it Larisa gave him a look, "Do you even have to ask at this point?" she asked him, leaning forward to share a kiss with him.

"It's polite to ask!" Sebastian told her casually.

"True," Larisa said amused.

Watching Larisa quietly, Sebastian smiled, "Larisa…I love you," he told her.

Freezing at that, Larisa looked up shocked, "What?" she asked stunned.

Smiling Sebastian reached out, "I've actually had this feeling for a while now and I know it scares you, but you have nothing to worry about. It's been months since I've come to terms with my feelings Larisa and as you can see…no meltdown, nothing resembling crazy outburst, or the sort," he told her.

"…What?" Larisa asked again.

Sighing at that, Sebastian patted her back, "Deep breaths, deep breaths," he told her soothingly.

Gazing at him like she heard nothing Larisa frowned, "Love…? Are you sure?" she asked him confused, how in the world did this happen? She didn't do anything to show him how much he meant to her, aside from today of course but he said he felt this way for months.

Smiling at her Sebastian chuckled, "You failed to see that your actions to keep me from loving you were actions that showed me your true feelings. You were willing to do something you weren't ready for just to keep me safe. Actions speak louder than words…to a demon," he said amused.

Looking at him surprised, Larisa quickly let out a groan and let her head fall into his chest, "I really am stupid. I couldn't even get that right…" she groaned.

Petting her hair Sebastian smiled, "…It's not the end of the world, so, how do you feel about this?" he asked her carefully.

Pulling back from him Larisa gazed at Sebastian and frowned, "…Sebastian, it is the end of the world, your dying but it isn't because you couldn't handle it. It's because I couldn't see how much of a tool Charles was…I thought you would be the problem. I guess there's another lesson of human arrogance," she said dejectedly.

"It wasn't arrogance on your behalf…you hoped that you could get your friend back, while I don't think highly of hope I will admit that it's something important to have. I've watched hope fuel humans through their darkest moments and now you have to let it fuel you. I don't know what will happen and I can't be there for you…so let hope guide you in my place," Sebastian told her.

Sighing Larisa smiled, "Seriously…it's unfair how great you are!" she said.

She got a bag of things along with her new bracelet and ring, gazing back at the house where the others stood watching her leave, Larisa sighed, "I know you will without my asking but take care of Sebastian and to your sense of time…see you in three!" she said before turning to Shimon nodding for him to open the portal.

Turning he held up his hand and just as the sun began to peek up ready to say hello to the morning a new portal opened up and glimmered before them. Gazing at the swirling glittering vortex, Larisa headed toward it and stepped in with everyone right behind. Passing through she felt like a weight had dropped down on to her as her head began to spin and just like last time darkness came.

Waking up was just as confusing as it was the last time. Slowly cracking her eyes open, Larisa groaned and reached up to rub her temple. A headache just as irritatingly painful as last time knocking around her skull, "I really hope this is the last time," she muttered.

"You can say that again," groaned Samantha.

Opening up her eyes Larisa looked around their new surroundings, this time they didn't wake up all alone in the woods getting rained on. No, this time the two of them were tucked away in a large tent tucked away together in the same sleeping bag. No doubt to help keep them warm. Hearing the light fall of rain, Larisa sighed, "It's always raining in London…I wonder if we came out at the same place as last time," she muttered to Sam.

Rubbing her temple, Sam sighed, "I don't really care, I just hope this headache subsides as fast as it did last time," she said flopping back down on the sleeping bag.

Joining her Larisa gazed at the orange ceiling of their tent, "I hope we don't get a lecture," she said before sitting up and crawling to the mouth of the tent. Unzipping it she found Shimon standing around a fire…she was guessing it was demonic since it was both purple and surviving in the rain. Pausing she gazed at the fire for a moment before heading over to Shimon, "Um, I don't want to rush things but when do we move. The sooner we get this over with the better," she told him.

Turning his gave to her, Shimon frowned, "Soon, Kyo is getting information on the whereabouts of your grandfather and Alphonse is helping him," he told her.

"He's not home?" Larisa asked him surprised.

Shaking his head Shimon frowned, "He's on a mission for the Queen, the Gardner told us once we put him into a trance. He was oddly strong…he tore through a brick wall," he said.

"You didn't hurt him, did you?" Larisa asked worried.

Smiling at that Shimon continue to gaze into the flames, "No worries, the Gardner will experience nothing but confusion and a mild headache. He'll be perfectly alright," he assured her.

Nodding at that Larisa sighed, "Good I want to leave as little unturned as possible. Even if what we do is supposed to happen, I rather have what we do have little to do with us…if that makes any sense," she said wondering if what a word she said made any sense.

"It makes perfect sense and is wise. As we've told you, time travel isn't something that should be done, after all its unnatural and time should be left alone. This however if for Lord Sebastian, once your blood is normal we'll have the Sebastian of this time suck your blood. Hopefully Femi will reach out to you again and draw you into your mind. While she does that I promise to make sure nothing happens to your body," promised Shimon.

Smiling at that Larisa nodded, "I know, I trust you Shimon. Your Sebastian's right hand man, after Shiro I go to you!" she told him.

Smiling slightly, Shimon turned to her and bow his head, "You honor me with your words, my lady," he said pleased.

Gazing at him, Larisa turned him, "Shimon once this is all over, I want you to teach me all about demons and customizes. Its time I take my position as Sebastian's wife and I need to learn all about his people…the more I stay with humans, the more I give others a chance to attack Sebastian. Maybe he's stronger and smarter but there's still lucky chances," she told him.

Smiling at that Shimon nodded, "I will start lessons with you now if you wish, but before that are you planning to only be Sebastian's wife. What about those dreams of yours to be an artist?" he asked her curious, he knew of her strong desire and work toward that goal.

Gazing at the fire, Larisa nodded, "I still want to be an artist but after I take the elixir that will give me eternal youth I can be an artist whenever I want. So, for now I'm going to focus on becoming a great queen, like I promised to the triplets. My goals now are to be a queen to demons and help Sebastian become the third Hell King…I just haven't quite figured out how to go about that yet!" she told him.

Peering at her curious, Shimon crossed his arms, "Femi was a warrior, brutal and vicious. She was unrelenting and considered quite demonic as well. Kotomi was a wife, feminine and maternal. She was only a wife and had nothing to do with the politics of our world. Your no warrior and I just can't see you only playing Sebastian's wife…so how about you become Sebastian's compassion," he offered.

Looking at him surprised Larisa thought that over, "Sebastian's compassion?" she questioned.

Nodding at that, Shimon peered over to her, "Demons lack such an emotion, but you don't. You tried to save Claude despite everything he did because you have compassion within yourself. You never once considered killing him when that was all we considered. Some say compassion is a weakness and I use to say that but I'm beginning to understand it's a strength. It's easy to hate and destroy someone but it's hard to forgive them and help them," he said.

"So basically, I should become that part of Sebastian. Introduce the concept of mercy and compassion to demons, even though you know what it is and probably laugh at it," concluded Larisa.

Peering over to her, Shimon raised an eyebrow, "Do you not agree?" he asked.

Shaking her head, she frowned, "Not that, it's just, every time I've shown compassion its sort of back fired on me. I forgave Claude and tried to put him in a position to stop being difficult and he goes to the past to destroy Sebastian but in the end just destroys himself. I forgave Charles for what he did and he used me to poison the man I love! I know those are only two examples but, when has my compassion really worked out?" she asked him.

Raising a hand Shimon waved his hand and the fire flared up, "Claude's kingdom, the ones who were in the mountain fortress with you spoke to others about your attempt to save him. Not everyone hated him as their king, your compassion made them readier to accept Sebastian as their new king. It also why there has been no revolt since his death. I believe if you weren't with us, they would have fought against us the moment Claude died," he told her.

"Really?" asked Larisa surprised.

Peering over with a serious expression Shimon nodded, "Quite, because of the compassion you showed Claude they've come to accept you and by affiliation Sebastian. So, while you compassion does have some consequences it does come with its perks as well. I'm sure there will be a perk in this consequence as well," he said patting Larisa shoulder.

Feeling a swell of relief bloom in her chest, Larisa turned away with a smile, "Thank you, Shimon," she said grateful. Hearing him tell her that really made her feel like less of a failure, she was feeling so guilty because this was basically her fault. The moment she found out about Charles ties to the demon world she should have told him goodbye, but she didn't.

Part of her wanted to cling to her human past.

Looking over when the sound of crunching branches was heard, Larisa found Kyo and Alphonse stepping out of the forest both looking a little disgruntled. Frowning at that, Larisa turned to them, "Something tells me you had a run in with my grandfather he kind of leaves people with that look, truth be told…he's kind of an asshole," she commented.

She knew he had a hard and emotionally crippling couple of months, but come on. There was being a realist who tells it like it is and there was being an asshole and he soared straight toward asshole. Frowning at that she crossed her arms, "Huh, Sebastian's a lot like that too and if I have pragmatic assholes in my family that gives my baby a higher chance of being one…" she said trailing off.

Peering over to Shimon who was watching her curious she frowned, "I'll still love him of course, but, I kind of hope for a baby who won't get angry with me when I'm an optimist," Larisa muttered.

Clearing his throat, Alphonse sighed, "It's not about that, Larisa. Ciel is in the middle of a mission for the Queen so he'll probably be less than helpful," he said.

Frowning at that, Larisa crossed her arms, "I don't know about that, maybe if we offer to help he'll be more open to helping us," she said. Waving an arm, she smiled, "Four demons are better than one," she said amused. Add these three on top of Sebastian and he would have a crapload of more man power on his side, "Where is he by the way?" she asked.

"France," answered Kyo.

"Good I've always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower!" said Sam coming out of the tent.

Looking back Larisa smiled, "I think it's still under construction at the moment," she told her.

"That'll make it all the more memorable!" said Sam stretching her arms.

"They aren't in Paris, more like the country-side," sad Alphonse.

Smiling at that Larisa tucked her arms behind her back, "The country-side in most countries is the real attraction!" she answered.

"France here we come!" cheered Sam.

His frustration was coming to an all-time high, time was short. He could feel the window to move getting smaller but there was nothing he could do. Peering toward the door when Sebastian entered, Ciel felt his scowl deepen when the demon shook his head. Standing up he grabbed his walking stick and headed over to his luggage, "Can't you just…charm the girl or something!" he snapped, he had seen Sebastian do it before.

Sighing at his young master's frustrations, Sebastian shook his head, "The girls are far too young to fall for any of my charms and with the state they're in. Anything I do might completely shut them down and then they'll be utterly useless. Our best bet would be their mothers, but seeing how we have no names, that wouldn't really work. If we had a mothering female we might get somewhere," he said, they responded well enough to Mey-Rin.

Their housemaid though lack all mothering traits however.

Thinking about that, Ciel felt a nagging sensation at the back of his mind, he could remember meeting someone like that but he couldn't put a face to the figure. All he could remember was warmth and the intoxicating aroma…jasmines or orchids. "That is an interesting expression! Tell me is Lady Elizabeth the cause of it or is it someone else?" questioned Sebastian teasingly, pulling Ciel out of his daze.

Jumping Ciel found Sebastian to close for comfort, pulling away from him blushing Ciel glared at the smug looking demon. Looking away annoyed he let out a growl, "We need to find a female who's mothering and can speak Japanese," he griped looking away from Sebastian.

"I can speak Japanese and have been told I'm mothering!" answered a cheerful voice from behind.

Jumping both him and Sebastian turned in unison and paused at what they found. Standing in his room were two figures who literally morphed out of the wood work. There was a young girl who was probably in her teens who he felt was familiar, so very familiar. Then a beautiful male who reminded him of Sebastian, in the sense that he was ridiculously handsome.

The man had long silky blond hair he kept in a low ponytail that he tucked over his shoulder, his eyes were leaf green and he had a lithe and almost petite frame. He was both handsome and beautiful, he had a stern demeanor however and seem like a no-nonsense kind of guy. He wore foreign clothes, almost robes in light green with dark green vine designs all over them.

The girl next to him just screamed to Ciel, he knew her…he just knew he knew her.

She had long straight raven hair that reached her waist, her bangs framed her heart shaped face that house two lovely glimmering violet eyes. The girl was pale and pretty, she had Asian ancestry and probably English roots too. She was dressed rather oddly as well. She wore a flowing black dress that had a wide turtleneck collar, no sleeves, and the skirt only fell to her knee. Showing them both long shapely shaven legs.

Blushing slightly, Ciel opened his mouth ready to order Sebastian to apprehend this girl and her companion when his brain seemed to stall. His mind was flooded with vision of this girl, this girl named, "Larisa!" he cried stunned. His granddaughter from the future…seriously, that was just an odd and unsettling concept all together even without her love affair with his demon butler.

Gazing at her mildly surprise, Sebastian frowned, "Ah, Larisa, you've returned," he commented.

Frowning Ciel marched forward and fumed, "Larisa what are you doing back here?!" he demanded.

Sighing, Larisa scratched her head, "Long story," she told him.

"Talk!" snapped Ciel crossing his arms.

It took about an hour to explain everything to Ciel, sitting across from her grandfather as he absorbed everything he finally moved and peered back to Sebastian. Smirking he crossed his arms, "I may not see it in my life time but at least you'll eventually get one upped!" he said satisfied. Before he could comment further though he let out an ow when Larisa kicked him under the table.

Crossing her arms Larisa glared at her grandfather, "Don't praise Charles! He used me! Seriously what is with stupid men and praising that asshole!" she snapped annoyed. Then before he could open his mouth Larisa turned to Sebastian and pointed to him, "Don't you dare say a word! I already heard you praise him once and I don't need to hear it again!" she scolded.

Sighing Ciel finally turned his gaze toward her, "So what's your plan exactly?" he asked her.

Crossing her arms, Larisa pointed to Sebastian, "Once my blood is in the clear he's going to drink it till I get so weak Femi can talk to me. Till then you won't see a single hair from me," she told him.

Frowning at that Ciel shook his head, "The idea of you off on your own is completely less appealing then having to deal with you. So, for as long as you're in my world you're with me," he said firmly.

"As what, your much older mistress?" asked Larisa sarcastically.

Blushing at that, Ciel glared, "No! As for what, I don't know, but it's a lot better than letting you run around free with that wild woman!" he snapped. If it was just Larisa however he would let her be but he didn't like the idea of leaving her alone with that crazy woman.

Crossing her arms, Larisa frowned, "I know Samantha is a bit of a wild card but she's loyal so keep your insult to yourself gramps," she told him annoyed. Samantha was willing to come back to the past with her, even though it was horrible the first time.

Frowning at that Ciel gazed at her and took notice of some changes in Larisa, nothing like appearance changes but the way she held herself was definitely different. He supposed the way things ended here made her grow up a little, "Fine, but you're still staying with me so I can keep an eye on you and Samantha," he said firmly.

Sighing Larisa nodded, "Fine," she said.

Nodding at that Ciel crossed his arms, "Now, what exactly are you two any good at?" he questioned her, if he was going to keep them near he might as well make them useful to him.

Crossing her arms back, Larisa rolled her eyes, "We're two teenagers from America…born from what was considered the screw up generation…so nothing much," she answered.

Chuckling at that, Sebastian smiled, "Well at least she's honest," he said amused getting a look of annoyance from Ciel who just shook his head annoyed. Ignoring the look Sebastian waved his hand toward Larisa, "If you want a position for her though, I suggest we take her up on her offer," he said.

"My offer?" questioned Larisa confused.

What exactly did she offer again?

Sighing Ciel sat back, "It was obviously just her making an entrance and I rather not entrust anything to her, after all I don't really trust her judgement," he said snottily.

"I just feel the love in your voice," said Larisa rolling her eyes.

Chuckling at that Sebastian crossed his arms and peered at Larisa, "You may not trust her judgement but there were certain things I took note of as she stayed with us during her last trip. That being her mothering skills, she was quite the mother hen to your…future counterpart," he said amused.

Peering at Sebastian's amused expression, Larisa frowned, "Ciel was born during my mommy phase, most just play with a doll but I had an actual baby in the house. Then I found I enjoyed him favoring me so before I knew it he grew up think he had two mommies'," she explained. When the initial phase began to recline, she was drawn back in when Ciel said her name.

Something inside just snapped and she found she liked being someone's whole world.

"So…what's up?" Larisa asked looking between the two.

She always liked kimono. They were comfortable in her book; they came in pretty colors, had beautiful decorations adoring them ranging to many things, and were much more liberating than English dresses. Gazing at the kimono in front of her Larisa fingered the silver snowflake that dotted the silver-blue kimono.

"Larisa," said Shimon.

Turning back Larisa gazed at him and nodded going behind a screen she slipped out of everything save her underwear and slipped into a slip that would rest under the kimono. Once the belt was tied she held out her hand for the kimono that he gave her and once she slipped into it she reached out for the obi as well.

Passing over the silver obi, Shimon frowned as he watched Larisa's shadow work to put it on, "Do you need help?" he questioned her.

Shaking her head, Larisa smiled, "Nope, my grandmother taught me how!" she told him as she wrapped the obi around her middle. Once she was all done Larisa stepped out with a smile, "So how do I look?" she asked him.

Gazing at her Shimon gave a nod of approval before casting her that same expression, "I don't think it's wise to get caught up in his…nonsense. I learned about this particular human from Lord Sebastian and all that follows him is destruction and misery," he said.

Brushing away imaginary dust, Larisa frowned, "Well unless you're willing to put demon etiquette aside this is the only way to push me to the point of exhaustion. Besides me and Sam have three demons looking after us, I think we'll make out just fine," she told him.

"Maybe in body…but what of mind?" Shimon asked.

Gazing at him Larisa frowned, "I came back here knowing I could get hurt, mentally and physically but I don't care. I love Sebastian, so I refuse to let him die! I may not have his power, intelligence, or charisma but being human gives me something demons don't have," she said firmly.

"What is that?" asked Shimon.

Smiling at him, Larisa headed over to a mirror to gaze at her appearance, "Stubbornness…you demons may have it but nothing is more stubborn than a human and I refuse to let Sebastian die because of my mistakes. I'm going to marry him," she said determined.

Smiling at that, Shimon slipped down to his knee and bow to Larisa, "I thought very little of you in the beginning, my queen. Now though, I believe Sebastian could have picked no one better than you to be our queen!" he said, her devotion to Sebastian was admirable in his eyes.

Chuckling at that Larisa picked up a brush, "Thank you, now come help me with my hair! We should look our best when we see these young ladies. From what Ciel tells me they've been through a lot," she told him seating herself on a stool.

Taking the brush from her, Shimon ran it through her hair gathering the raven locks together before twisting them in a bun that rest at the base of her hairline. Just as he was fastening it the door to their room opened and in walked Samantha with Sebastian and Kyo. Letting out a loud sigh, Sam frowned, "Lala, I tried to get Sebastian to feel me up again!" she said waltzing over.

Peering over her shoulder Larisa frowned, "In front of Kyo?" she asked.

"He's open to threesomes," Sam said happily.

Rolling her eyes, Larisa turned back to the mirror to check for any loose strands, "Well if you really want to know what it's like to sleep with him. I suggest you try now, past Sebastian is not my Sebastian so this is your only chance to do anything with him," she said.

Rolling his own eyes, Sebastian frowned, "Sebastian is not interested, he's also starting to feel insulted by his bride-to-be," he said speaking up.

Smoothing down one stray strained, Larisa stood up and observed her image, "Too bad for you, Sammy. As for the insult…sorry if it offends you but your not my demon, not yet at least" said Larisa turning around to face the group.

Sighing Samantha smiled, "I'll just drag the details of how he's in the sack out of you when you finally sleep with him. I better not have to wait for a wedding too!" she said warningly.

"So, sorry for being old fashion. Also I'm not telling you anything, maybe some girlfriends share the details but I am not one of those! I'm a prude for a reason you know," said Larisa.

Grinning at that Sam chuckled, "Apology not accepted and you will tell me, I'll drag it out of you if I have too," she threatened with a smile.

Standing up Larisa let out sigh and turned to Sebastian, "…Take us to the girls, the sooner we get them to trust us the quicker you'll get your information," she told him.

Smiling at that Sebastian crossed his arm over his chest and gave a little bow, "As you wish," he answered in amusement.
