My throat and insides burned after my stomach emptied out onto the floor. I felt a hand gently rub my back afterwards.

"Are you alright Michelle?" Grell asked. I shook my head and ran to the bathroom where I threw up even more. Someone pulled my hair back so it wouldn't get in the mess.

I looked up and my heart lurched when I saw Ciel was holding it back. I leaned against the wall afterwards, breathing heavily.

"I didn't want you...to see that," I muttered, looking at the boy who's face was drowned in sympathy.

He shrugged and handed me a mint. I laughed an took it out his hand. "This is your say of telling me my breath stinks?"

"Yes, please. Just eat ," he said, covering his nose. I rolled my eyes and slowly went to stand up.

"No need to be rude about it," I sighed and wiped my mouth. We both walked back out to the living room, where everything was back to normal, and the men were sitting around the table where the papers were splayed across the table.

Adrian was pacing around the room, hands behind his back and occasionally running his hands through his hair tiredly.

"It doesn't make any sense though. How could I have not sensed him during that?" He groaned confused.

"Well, maybe you were distracted. You two were very busy," Grell's eyebrows wiggled up and down as he spoke.

"Not now Red, not now," Adrian growled, chartreuse eyes glowing brightly. Grell flinched at him and nodded in understanding.

"Why would he decide to show up on such a specific date?" Sebastian asked.

I froze and my eyes widened. Adrian noticed and stood in front of me. "Love, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Thanksgiving," I stuttered. He raised an eyebrow at me and held me close for reassurance.

"Thanksgiving...was when Rose and Derek died. Why? Why would he pick that date?!" I asked, eyes burning with tears.

He squished my face into his che and rubbed my back. "Go in the room to lay down. We'll sort this out," he said and kissed my forehead.

I shook my head fast. "No. I want to get rid of him, once and for all. I'm tired of him ruining my life," I said with defiance and authority.

"Are you sure?" Ron asked.

I nodded and sat on Adrian's lap once everyone was near the table. "So, Thanksgiving is the day. What does he plan to do?" Sebastian asked.

"Maybe he'll just pop up that day," Ronald suggested. I tensed at that. "I highly doubt he'll just ring the doorbell. The most likely situation is that he'll sneak in here. Considering his obsession with her, this man will be after Michelle," Ciel said.

Adrian's arms tightened around me at this. "That's not go into happen Love. I promise," he said in my ear. I intertwined my hand in his larger one and nodded my head.

"The thing I don't understand, how could you not sense him? Even when you're distracted like this, you still should've been able to know some one was there with you," Grell asked, putting a paper down and shaking his head.

"We bonded. There was no way I could have noticed him before or after that," Adrian sighed.

"Where did you two...you know..." Ronald asked, making a whole with one hand and sticking a finger through it.

"That was at my parlor..." Adrian trailed off and everyone grew a look of understanding. "What?" I asked, not catching on.

"That means, whoever this Liam man is, he knows of our world too," Ciel muttered in his hands.

"Undertaker, can you think of anyone named Liam, something close to it that knows where you live? Or anyone you've wronged in the past?" Ciel asked.

"Not that I can think of. I'm sure everyone I've wronged in the past I've either killed, or they died," he muttered. I noticed him daze out for a while before huffing out a breath.

Grell and Ronald sweatdropped at him and nodded. "Michelle, what does he look like?" Sebastian asked.

"Um. Tall, like you maybe," I said, raising my hand and pointing to him. "He has really curly black hair, he's a little muscular...um...and he has blue eyes. Oh! He has a scar...across the side of his face too," I said.

"Like, from here to here," I said tracing a line from my ear to the tip of my chin. Everyone nodded and tried to get an image in their heads.

"So what do we do now? Wait for him?" Ron asked. "I suggest we keep a good look out for him. Someone needs to be around you at all times. I'm sure that'll be Undertaker," Ciel said.

"I won't be around her all the time. You two watch her during school," he said, pointing to Ron and Grell. They nodded their heads and I scoffed. "You know I can take care of myself."

"You mean to tell us if he pops up in one of your classes, you won't freeze and you'll be able to put an end to him?" Ciel asked, staring at me with a critical eye.

I glared back at him. "What? You're calling me weak? I can handle myself perfectly. I'm not the one who needs a demon to do all his dirty work for them!" I yelled.

His eyebrow narrowed. "Oh please. I'm not the one who sleeps with men for their own protection," he said, smirking at me.

I jumped off from Adrian's lap and shook off his hand when he tried to calm me down. "You think I slept with him for protection?! Are you serous? I'm not some whore! We did what we did because we love each other. I'd never stoop so low to do that!" I yelled.

Adrian held my arm to hold me back. "Calm down. We need to figure out what to do, and not bicker," he said. He glared harshly at Ciel, and I noticed the boy flinch a bit.

"Well, I don't think she should stay here. Not at your parlor either. She could stay with one of us," Ronald said.

"I say she stays with me," Grell said and pulled me to His side with a grin. "I doubt he knows of us grim reapers, so that's the best place for her. Plus, we could have some women to women chats," he smirked.

I dead panned at the red head and let out a sigh when Ron interrupted. "Uh, actually Senpai, Spears-Senpai said we were gonna have a lot of souls to collect this week, so I don't think that'll be the best option," he said.

Grell glared at him angrily and sucked his teeth. "If that's so, then she may stay at my manor," Ciel muttered and took a sip of tea. When did he get that? I thought confused.

My eyes lit up with excitement. "Really? I can go there?!" I asked with stars in my eyes. "She'll have the utmost protection there. I highly doubt that he'll think of coming there," Ciel offered and clasped his hands together as his elbows rested on his knees.

Adrian let out a string of giggles. "Little lord, are you sure you can handle her? She is a handful," he laughed. I frowned at him. "I am not," I pouted.

"Is that a deal Undertaker?" Ciel pressed. There was a moment of pregnant silence and I waited for his answer. I would go either way, so I guess it didn't matter.

He let out a side and rubbed his eyes from underneath his fringe. "I suppose so. More safer than you staying here," he said. I grinned broadly and gave him a small hug. I shrugged after I pulled away. "I was probably going either way," I said.

"I know that," Adrian sighed. "We have to make preparations then. What should we tell her family?" Ciel asked.

My smile turned into a frown very quickly. "I forgot about that," I mumbled and sunk into the couch slowly, like they do in anime. "Can't we just leave?" Ron asked.

Grell shook his head and flipped his red tresses over his shoulder. "I don't think that'll be so smart. If she just randomly disappears, it'll bring suspicion. I think she should leave in a few days" he said.

My thoughts turned to what would hen in six days. I held a picture in my hands and looked at it. That day seemed like it was so far away. The way it looked, he was up on the roof.

The thought of him being in there, without me even seeing him...he could be practically anywhere right now. I glanced around the room quickly, almost expecting to see him somewhere. My eyes stayed at the window until I saw his face. I gasped softly and felt myself getting sick.

"Love?" Adrian asked. His hand landed on my back and I flinched at it. He jerked it away confused and watched as I got up slowly.

"I'm going in the room," I muttered and made my way to my bed. I quickly changed into a large T-shirt and pajama shorts and covered myself up to my chin.

The door creaked open and the bed dipped on one side. Nails raked through my hair softly. "Are you alright?" He asked softly.

My throat tightened and my eyes burned behind my lids. There was shuffling in the room before the covers lifted and a familiar warmth enveloped my body from behind. Adrian's body cradled mine and he pressed my back to his chest, intertwining our hands.

I started to cry on his arm, feeling my body shake with each sob. He pressed his chin into my neck and rubbed my hair slowly. "It's alright. We'll get through this together," he murmured and wiped my eyes dry.

"I don't *hic* understand why...he can't just...leave me alone!" I sobbed, sniffling in between words. "I was good with him, I was...I don't know why *hic* he's always following me."

"I don't know...maybe I did *hic* something wrong," I cried. Adrian turned me so I could see him. Though his fringe was down, I could tell he looked depressed too. "You did nothing wrong. If you think, had you not dated him, we would never had met," he said, touching our foreheads together.

"Am I doing something wrong Adrian?" I asked. "I don't know if you'll snap like he did..*hic* I'm just wondering. Tell me so I can change for you...I'll do anything to make you *hic* happy," I muttered.

He let out small giggles and looked down to me. "Ah, my Love. You're always thinking of other people before yourself. You're already to perfect for me, and I would never 'snap' towards you," he let out a sigh.

"I've already promised you that I'll never hurt you didn't I? I love you too much to do that," he whispered and kissed my nose. I sighed and put my face into his chest, wrapping my arms around his sides. I wasn't surprised when they didn't go all the way around, but when his did to my sides.

"I love you Adrian," I muttered into his chest before letting sleep take over. "And I to you Michelle," he said into my hair.


Sorry that this chapter is so short, I'm really sleepy, and I had to get this one out. It's more of a filler chapter. The next one will fast forward to the 6th day.
