Hi guys I feel bad that I haven't updated even though I know some authors only update once a month 0.o anyways, I am so thrilled with all the reviews I've been getting and all the people who have favorited my story it's very encouraging though my mom asked why I got over 17 emails. I hope you've all enjoyed my story so far, and I want to continue. So here we are chapter 5

I don't own anything except for Catherine. (And who knows where my user name is from? Send me a message!)

Finny's POV

I couldn't sleep at all that night. I stayed awake until the wee hours of the morning tossing and turning not able to stop thinking about her. And the very little sleep I could get was all dreaming about her. Happy dreams of course. In one dream I told her that I loved her and she totally accepted me for it! She even said she loved me back. That's when I woke up and realized that that was all it ever was going to be. A dream. There was no way that Miss Cat could ever love me, I was not only just a servant, but I had freakish powers of strength that would no doubt frighten her away. Not to mention the fact that it was more than likely she was going to marry some rich lord, and forget all about me. What did I have to offer her? I had no status, and I wasn't even good at my job. Plus Ciel would never allow his sister to have a servant court her. I need to stop going on about my flaws and how it will never happen. It only depresses me. I think that I should always just think in the back of my mind, hey, it could happen. At least doing that would keep my spirits alive. That's what I did when I was being tested on. I always had that flicker of hope in my heart that told me, 'Maybe today you'll get rescued Finny' and it happened! I should feel so blessed that I got rescued by Sebastian and I am able to go outside every day. I probably should get some sleep now considering we did next to nothing yesterday, Sebastian should have a full list of chores for us tomorrow. Wait….who am I talking to? I'm talking to myself inside my head. That's strange.

Magical time skip! The next morning…

Catherine's POV

I woke up to the smell of something burning. Oh shit. I ran down the stairs once again in my nightshirt to go investigate the source of the smell. It was the kitchen. Oh well then. I guess I should be thankful that nothing was on fire, but our breakfast was as black as charcoal. Finny and Mey-rin were also in the kitchen, but they didn't look all the surprised, perhaps this was a regular occurrence in the Phantomhive household. I wouldn't know I've been here for what? Two and a half days?

"Bard! What happened? Is everyone okay?" I asked semi-frantic. I hated my voice when I was worried. It got all stupid and high pitched and girly, it made me sound…..well….like an eight year old girl.

"We're fine Cat, I just used me flame thrower a bit." Bard said albeit a bit sheepishly. Finny and Mey-rin nodded silently behind him. My eyes widened. First of all, why the hell was he cooking my breakfast with a flamethrower, second of where the hell did he GET a flamethrower, and third of all, I think I'm going to rain check breakfast for today.

"Well then what happened?" I asked. Bard was the cook, so I figured he knew how to cook a little. When they said he used explosives in cooking I figured they exaggerated and wanted someone else's cooking other than Bard's because he was the only one who ever cooked and they were tired of it.

"I wanted breakfast to cook quickly, and all at once so it didn't take too long,…..so….I used me flamethrower ." My mouth dropped. They really weren't kidding. Bard really DID cook with explosives. What the hell? What kind of chef cooks with explosives?

"Ummm…." I didn't really know how to respond. Turns out I didn't have to. Sebastian walked in. I swear the man has the best timing I had ever seen.

"What in the world is going on down here!" he whirled around. "Bard how many times do I have to tell you, no flamethrowers in the kitchen! You could have destroyed the entire house." Sebastian looked ready to murder somebody. I had never seen anybody look so deadly in their nightclothes. I was actually quite surprised, Sebastian didn't seem like the kind of person who a) slept or b) wore nightclothes. He seemed far too manly for something like sleep. He turned around again. "And you! Why is it that I always find you in the kitchen? It's not usual for the mistress to socialize with the staff."

"I enjoy being around the staff." I said quickly without thinking. After the words were out of my mouth I immediately wished that I hadn't said them. Sebastian and I were on fairly good terms and I would like to keep it that way. He was after all my caretaker, but in my heart I knew that nothing he could say could keep me from being with them. Especially around Finny. He was so friendly with me and apologized for the littlest things. I believe he tried to be a true gentleman around me, which is more than I can say for any other person I had met on the street. I may be a noble now, or have noble blood, but I think that being a street kid with stay with me forever. Sebastian narrowed his eyes at me just a little bit, as if studying me intensely.

"Very well then, however I must remind you that Ciel may not approve, and even if he does many others of your social class will not. I do think that it could be good for you, but at the same time I know that Ciel only wants what is best for you." I felt touched that he cared for me so much. The most caring thing I ever got was when Clara the nun rescued me from the ashes of the manor, and fought for me to stay at the abbey. Of course she didn't win and I ended up at the god awful orphanage, but at least it was something.

"You're brother needs to be woken up, I hope you don't mind going? For obvious reasons I need to get breakfast started so you two have some sustenance that's not burnt to a crisp." I nodded my head and quickly walked up the stair well and turned into the hallway where Ciel's room was.

I knocked at Ciel's door, not hearing anything I walked in. "Um, excuse me Ciel? I need you to wake up." He groaned but to my great disappointment, he still didn't rise. "Ciel, please wake up." This was the first time Sebastian ever trusted me to do something, I was not going to fail! So I did the thing I used to do to one of my only friends at the orphanage, my friend Joey, I pulled the sheets out from over him, hoping he would wake up, then I stole the pillow form underneath his head. Was I going to have to hit him with it too? That was the last step into making a lazy ass person wake up was to pour a bucket of ice cold water over his head, but I figured that I would at least give him a warning. My street instincts kicked in.

"Ciel, I am going to give you 15 seconds to get your ass out of bed, or I have a bucket of ice water that has your name on it." That seemed to work, as Ciel bolted out of bed.

"How dare you-" he stopped talking when he saw me. "Catherine, what are you doing in my room?"

"Sebastian told me he needed to make breakfast, since Bard used his flamethrower, and he sent me to wake you up." I told him truthfully. "So am I supposed to help you dress or what exactly am I supposed to do?" Ciel seemed increasingly uncomfortable.

"Well….I may need help with a few things." (Did anyone else notice Ciel can't do crap without Sebastian) I respectfully closed my eyes blushing a little bit that I may end up having to help my brother get dressed. I stayed quiet turned around not facing him until I heard him fiddling with what I assumed was the buttons on his dress shirt considering he cursed under his breath

"Damn these infernal buttons." I could only imagine how frustrated Ciel looked.

"Um Ciel may I turn around? Perhaps I can help." H e begrudgingly complied. After finishing dressing my brother (How weird it feels saying that considering he was three years older than me.) We headed down the stairs, and were swept away by the wonderful meal Sebastian had prepared for us, (It was a traditional Irish breakfast and I dug right in.)Ciel rolled his eyes and began to eat his very slowly. Then he stood.

"Come, Catherine, unfortunately, we don't have clothes for you here so we need to go into the city to buy you some. I think it'll be a whole day affair so I believe bringing Finny, Mey-rin, and Bard with us would be wise." His last sentence was addressed to Sebastian who nodded, clearly not wanting his house to be destroyed because of someone else's bone headed mistake (looking at you Bard).

On that note, I never went out to buy clothes before, and I never thought in my wildest dreams that this could happen. I lived in a huge manor with my brother, a butler and three other staff members, and now I was going out shopping for clothes. This is going to be a very interesting experience.

Sebastian's POV

Hmmm… yes I do believe new clothes are in order for Catherine, but she also needs to learn about society. It's acceptable for very young children to spend their time in the kitchen because their mothers are too busy at the time, but Catherine is getting older so I think that it will not be accepted as appropriate. Not to mention that I have to discuss the matter with Ciel. The thought makes me chuckle a bit, a 12 year old being the only guardian to and 8 year old. They will make a fine pair. The Phantomhive children. I headed back downstairs to the kitchen to tell the fools that they needed to get ready to go on a trip to the city. The ecstatic look on their faces made me think 'Do they really never leave the grounds of this house?' oh well. I cant believe that we are going out today. I do know that Catherine does need clothes, I completely agree on the matter, but with Lady Elizabeth here yesterday, we didn't do crap. Oh well perhaps I could do it when I got home, after all I'm simply one hell of a butler. After better preparing Ciel for a trip into the chilly London city, I felt a small tug on my waistcoat. Surprised I looked down to see Catherine standing there looking nervous to talk to me. As mature as she was it was hard to remember that she was only eight years old, and around 4 foot 3 inches tall.

"Excuse me Mr. Sebastian." She looked at me with her bright blue eyes, identical to Ciel's, but held much less pain and sorrow. I smiled when she addressed me as 'Mr. Sebastian'.

"Yes, lady Catherine?" I responded looking down at her still smiling. She looked fairly worried about talking to me. I know I'm a demon, but she doesn't know that, so she shouldn't be scared.

"I was curious as to what do I need to wear today." That's right she wore Ciel's dress (I do enjoy saying that, Ciel's dress) yesterday, and I didn't think that we had another dress in the manor, except for lady Elizabeth's, and there was no way in hell (No pun intended) that that dress was going to fit her, it was far too long and too big.

"Young Master?" I called Ciel had claimed full technical responsibilities for his sister so I should ask him.

"What do you want Sebastian?" he asked in that bored tone he seemed to always have.

"Um Ciel, I was wondering on what I was supposed to wear out on the trip to the city." Catherine said taking initiative and asking her own questions. Good for her, even though when I saw her hands they were shaking.

Ciel looked taken aback his one eye widened. "Oh well, I suppose she could wear some of my old clothes…" What! Ciel, what the hell is wrong with you? Let me remind you ladies and gentleman that this is the same Ciel who thinks that women don't have to be strong, because they have their husbands for that. "Sebastian, please go find her some suitable clothing, I would like to depart as soon as possible." With that he left striding off to who knows where.

"Mr. Sebastian, sir, I think that I could go and find something myself if you're too busy." Cat (perhaps I can take to calling her that) shifted uncomfortably I think that Ciel needs to learn how to talk to his sister in a nicer tone. She may be slightly afraid of him. And me for that matter, but it was much more acceptable to be afraid of a seven foot tall (?) demon with red eyes, than a temper mental 12 year old who was your biological brother.

"It's my job as a butler to make sure you are presentable and well dressed so, in other words I will take care of it." I bowed to her. She stuttered a thank you and went on her way. Well, it seems today is going to be busier than I thought.

Finny's POV

I can't believe we get to go on a trip to the city! It's so exciting, we hardly ever get to do that, and Miss Cat will be there. Of course it's likely that I'll be too embarrassed to talk to her. I chattered away to Bard about all the things we could see and the stuff we could talk about. I think that Bard was getting tired of me going on and on and talking about how much fun we'll have. We all made our way to the carriage and got in Mey-rin and Bard on one side and me on the other. Then the carriage door opened. Cat was standing there with Sebastian on her side helping her into the carriage.

"Excuse me Finny?" Cat asked I stopped staring at her and realized she was addressing me.

"Yes Ms. Catherine?" I responded, trying to be confident in taking to her but stumbling and stuttering over my words.

"Don't be silly, we're friends remember? Call me Cat please. And I was wondering if maybe I could sit next to you." She squirmed a little bit while asking me. I was nervous myself. She wanted to sit with me Why did she want to sit next to me? What if I said something wrong? Bard nudged me.

"What?" I asked.

"You dimwit! She's waiting for an answer."

"Oh! Of course you can sit with me." I exclaimed scooting over and patting the seat next to me. She smiled and took a seat. Oh way to go Finny, you just made yourself look like a total idiot in front of Cat.

"So are you excited about going into the city?" Cat asked I stopped mentally scolding myself to look up at Cat's lovely face.

"Oh yes, I hardly get to go out like this so I think it'll be a lot of fun. It's beautiful out there." She smiled a little.

"Yeah, its nice out there if you know where to go." I quirked my redish blond eyebrow. "Well where I lived it wasn't so nice, I'm really happy I get to live with you guys, all of you are so nice." She was so friendly, then Ciel got in. We talked the rest of the way laughing and talking about the fun things we would do in the city. Sebastian stopped the carriage, and instructed us to do what we pleased but try to stay with one person, and not too go too far.

"I call Finny!" Catherine exclaimed giggling. Ciel frowned.

"You do need to buy clothes though," he reminded her.

"I know." She responded, "but that means that Finny can give me an opinion on how I look." Ciel grunted. "Of course if that's okay with you." She said politely.

"It's fine, but I will need to be there too." He pointed out.

"Okay, thank you very much Ciel I appreciate it."

Magical time skip!

Later we were just about ready to head out when Sebastian told us we could buy something, if we made it fast before we went home. That's when the idea struck me. I could buy us some toffee's from the local sweet shoppe to share with Cat. I had gone out and bought us the toffees and was heading back when I heard a girls voice yell 'help' of course it wasn't just any voice, it was Cat's. I think that everyone else heard it too and we ran to the source of the sound. A dark alley. (go figure) From there we saw three or four older boys, around Ciel's age running. They had billy clubs in their hands so I just knew that they had hurt my Cat. I quickly ran to her in the end of the dark alley. I got there first to see her leg was bent painfully out o place as if they had hit her and broken the bone in half. To be honest we were lucky I wasn't shattered. Sebastian was there next and mustering up all the courage I had I told him that the boys that had beat her up went left and told him t go and try to catch them. To my surprise he nodded and complied. Oh god I thought, oh god, oh god, oh god, I was supposed to stay with her! If I had done my job right she wouldn't have gotten hurt. Bard, Mey-rin and Ciel all arrived at the same time I explained that she had gotten a pasting (a beating) from some thugs that Sebastian was out searching for.

"We'll have to wait for Sebastian to get her into the carriage. She looks like she's in a lot of pain."Ciel commented. I felt like screaming at him, of course she's in pain they broke her leg. Her face shined with sweat, and I put my palm up to her forehead. She was blazing with fever.

"I can take her home, if someone calls a doctor now, he should be at the estate, if I run her there." I said surprising myself with my intensity. Little known fact. I am both fast and strong, but I am a lot stronger than I am fast. Ciel nodded and I started back to the estate. Half way there she cried out in pain and became unconscious. Good I thought. Cat was too good of a person to endure this kind of pain. I was in the house, and had just laid her down in her bed when the doctor arrived. He set her leg and told me that one of them was broken and that the other one was going to be far too sore to use. Also her shoulder was dislocated so he fixed that as well, accompanied by a sickening pop, when it went back into the socket. The fever would do itself out, but if it didn't break in a day or two to call him back. Then the doctor left. I cried thinking that if I had only been there I could have defended her. And even with a dislocated shoulder, a broken leg, and a black eye, she was beautiful. So in the spur of the moment I apologized to her.

"I'm so sorry Cat, this is all my fault. If I just would have been there nothing would have happened. I'm sorry." Then I leaned over and kissed her forehead, praying she would be okay.

Thank you for everyone who is still reading this. I'm sorry that I was so late updating and I gave you a particularly long chapter. Please review I appreciate it so much. And I had to get something going and I'm sorry I beat up Cat, it pains me to write that. Happy Memorial day!
