Anyway I hope you all like the story so far there are a few more chapters but this isnt going to be as long XD haha. Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

"This coffee is so week it's tea!" Jonathan shouted, Rui sighed picking up her cup. It was well into the morning and Jonathan had insisted that Ru stay by his side until the wedding.

"That's because it is tea John; earl gray to be exact, and I like it." Rui said sipping it. Jonathan gave a sour look at his cup, then threw it across the room surprising a small gathering of birds and Rui.

"Jonathon! That was my mother's tea cup! It was part of a set!" Ru shouted standing, Jonathan huff remaining sitting.

"I don't drink tea! We may live in London but I am an American! And Americans drink coffee in the morning." He huffed, then stood.

"So, that Phantomhive kid stayed over did he?" he asked, Ru titled her head.

"Yes, he is my guest. I invited him and his friends to the….wedding." she said, choking a bit on the word 'wedding.' Jonathan groaned; after his last encounter with the phantomhive his butler kept leering at him. What was that butler anyway, who did he think he was glaring at a nobleman like that?

"Is there a problem? John?" Rui asked snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Non at all." He said as Ru took a bit out of a breakfast cake.

"What have I told you about eating excessively!" he shouted grabbing Rui by the arm, Rui looked up at him in shock.

"Let go of me! I can eat what I want!" she shouted tearing away from him and began walking away, "Besides I fit into the dress just fine, I don't need to go on a diet for you!"

"And just where do you think you are going?" John demanded. Ru stopped at the door.

"I'm going to see the demon hound Ciel brought with him. I won't be kept under watch by the likes of you!" she shouted then slammed the door.

"What was that all about Ru?" Finnian asked as he saw Ru storm past him. She paused looking back.

"Lover's quarrel." She said sweetly. Finnian wasn't buying it. She sighed. "It's nothing you need to worry about alright Fin?"

"But Ru you know you can come to us if you having trouble with something." Finnian said Ru smiled.

"I know, and I have. So don't you worry about it alright?" she explained, Finnian nodded.

"Ru, what happened to your dog collar?" he asked, Ru bit her lip, she supposed it would be rather odd, the time they knew her she never took it off, even when she was cut up and bruised from defending the dog.

"I've missed placed it is all. Now if you'll excuse me I must attend to something." She said and dismissed herself from the hallway.

"What do you mean no?" Ciel asked, Ru shook her head.

"I mean I have no idea where all someone would have hidden her. My fiancé's the one who picked this house, he's the only one who knows it well enough." She said, "I'm sorry, but I had nearly no say in what manor we lived in." Ciel sighed.

"This is problematic. How can you not know your own house?" he scolded. Ru pouted.

"I just told you how I had no say in the matter. Besides that Jonathan has had me doing ridiculous things for the upcoming ceremony I've not had the chance to look around." She said. "I'm sorry I can't help you anymore."

Ciel remained quiet for a while thinking things over, Sebastian still had not returned from his search of the manor to find the cat.

"Ciel…" Ru mumbled, Ciel narrowed his eyes but looked up. Ru bit her lip contemplating what she was going to say.

"Do you regret meeting me?" she asked, Ciel shook his head.

"It was a bit of an annoyance meeting you but I don't regret it. Why would you ask such a stupid question at a time like this?" He asked. Ru lowered her head.

"I had done some thinking last night; if I hadn't run into Pluto in the street last year, I would have been here when whoever it was took Mimi, I could have stopped them. I wouldn't have to relying on a kid like you to help me." She explained. "On top of that your home wouldn't have been nearly destroyed by me trying to train Pluto."

"That's an awful lot of regret from a woman like you Ru." Ciel said, Ru nodded.

"It's true though, you wouldn't be taking time out of your days to help me if I had been here to stop them!" She said.

"And what if you couldn't stop them?" Ciel asked Rui paused confused. "What if they had stolen your fate changing cat whilst you were away in town? You would have no one to help you search and you would be stuck married to that man you attacked me last night."

Rui thought for a minute; that was true, if she hadn't met Ciel he wouldn't have become friend(ish) with her, and he definitely wouldn't have decided to help her without wanting something in return. Ru then grinned ruffling Ciel's hair which in turn somewhat aggravated him.

"You're right Yorki-boy. You're such a nice person you know that." She asked, then placed her hands on her hip. "Oh you'll have to excuse me for a bit I have something I need to take care of in town."

"Ru." Ciel said just as she was about to leave.

"Yes?"

"Do you know of anyone who would want to see the cat missing? Anyone that would benefit from this wedding of yours?" he asked Rui placed a finger to her chin in thought.

"Hmmm, only Jonathan; but he's not capable of pulling this off for so long. Besides he was just as surprised as I was when he found my Mimi was missing." She said sweetly. Unsuspecting that her husband was really the one behind all this.

"Master I've returned, I have finished the task asked of me." Crowl said bowing to Jonathan. Jonathan turned to his servant.

"Is that so? What was the hold up?" he asked, "It took you far too long to hide a simple mangy cat."

"I was being followed by a butler, he seemed suspicious of my activities." Crowl explained. "I had to hide her off the property."

"Where?" Jonathan growled, Crowl flinched a bit from the tone in his master's voice.

"About a mile off the manor grounds, in the Feliné cemetery, fitting since you plan on doing away with the wench once married." He finally said. John turned.

"Be silent thing, you speak to loudly that woman is likely to hear." He scolded.

"Forgive me…master." Crowl grumbled.

"So the Phantomhive butler has his eye on you eh?" John said looking out the window. Crowl shook his head.

"No, the Feliné butler, though to be honest he's been suspicious of me for some time." He said.

Jonathan was silent for a moment staring at the window before he turned to his servant of unknown race.

"I suppose you could kill him." He said, Crowl shook his head.

"If the Feliné's faithful butler were to go missing she's suspect you my master." he said. John growled.

"Then what do you suppose we do about him?" he shouted turning toward the man. Crowl stood walking over to his master and placing a hand on his cheek.

"Nothing at all my master, we should leave him to his own devices. He still has no idea of the location of the feline." He said Jonathan remained quiet for the moment.

"You'd better hope he doesn't, because if I don't get this title you're out on female soul." He growled slapping Crowl's hand away from him. Crowl's eyes went dark.

"You will get the Feliné title, power and all. Do not worry about that; and once you have it, I will be free to collect the Feliné soul." He said, then disappeared leaving Jonathan to his own devices.

"Oh no, Ru's in trouble. That monster wants to take her soul." Bradroy mumbled as he listened in on the conversation between the two. "I've got to tell the master this."

That's the end to chapter 8. This story is close to its end just a few more chapters to go. Please review and tell me what you think so far.
