AN:Hey guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in so long. I've been teaming up with my best friend to write a Naruto/Akatsuki fanfiction. We each have an OC and It's turning out beautiful. It's called "The Ballad Of The Cursed Two" and it's on Wattpad if you guys want to read.

Anyway, on to more important matters. I noticed that my new writing style (aka the I'm too lazy to physically write anything so I type it) hasn't been getting the feedback I aim for. So, after this chapter I will begin writing in my notebook again. I hope my story isn't becoming boring..heh. It's about to get really interesting. Believe me. So, anyhow, I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter. Yes, this one is typed and I apologize in advance ;) Love you all and thanks for sticking with me . 3 I'm going to start updating twice a week instead of everyday so I can have time to come up with good chapters instead of rushed ones..I hope you guys understand. 3

DISCLAIMER:I do not own anything Kuroshitsuji. If I did the anime wouldn't have ended yet.

Chapter 8: Her Guardian,Apologetic

[Tristian's POV]

I hope that Bocchan isn't upset. She hardly ever "summons" me she usually just comes to me on her own. This is making me timid and I'm a demon. She can be scary sometimes... "Tell me, how long have you belonged to the Young Master's sister?" Sebastian asks me, snapping me out of my daze. "You two seem to have a quite..strange and close relationship." He continues as I stride along side him, keeping my gaze forward. "If I didn't know any better..I'd say you two were.." He pauses, stopping and taking a second to shudder. "emotionally attached." Something snaps within me when this is said. It's not true. I wouldn't allow my guard to get down like that. I wouldn't put her in danger like-the fact that I care about putting her in danger says everything. DAMN.

"I have no clue of what you are talking about. I can not think of one thing I have done that would display these "emotions" you speak of." I scoff, keeping my cool. I can't let him know that I'm having an inner turmoil. That would ruin everything for me..and for the Young Bocchan.

"If I do recall correctly you shoved me out of a room for merely touching her this morning." He says, slowly gaining back his pace. I sigh in the back of my mind but quickly come up with an excuse.

"You were posing a threat, Mister Michaelis. I merely acted upon her will. I am nothing but a servant before her. You should understand that as well as I do." I retort. Damn he's observant.

"Whatever you say, Mister Fellschild." Sebastian smirks before banging his knuckles against the door of Ciel's study. "Dinner is served, Young Masters." I walk in after him, giving a slight nod towards Ciel, acknowledging him. Slowly but surely my gaze moves to Crystall. She seems to have gained some confidence in her posture since we've been here. Maybe all of the attention from that Raven is getting to her head. You know that's what it is..there's no maybe about it.

[Sebastian's POV]

The Phoenix seems restless as we walk into the Young Master's study. I see him nod towards Ciel before gradually turning his head towards Crystall. Ah, yes, Crystall. The fragile tempered human that shares blood with the Master. She's awful interesting. I don't know what it is. Something about her just entices me. It's probably better to avoid any contact and just do some private investigations. I think to myself as I serve the Master and Mistress their dinners.

"Sebastian, come over here for a moment. I need a word." Ciel says as he stands and walks over to a window on the far-side of his study.

"Yes, just a moment Master." I bow slightly before pouring the tea. After I bow to Crystall I stride with speed only demons could poses over to him. "What is it you wanted to speak with me about?" I inquire, looking at him out of the corner of my eye.

"I hear you have been being quite the bother to my sister. What's the meaning of this Sebastian? Do you perhaps..have feelings for her?" He questions in a mocking tone, striking a deeply buried nerve that I wasn't aware existed.

"You shouldn't suggest that I would partake in such trivial things, my Young Master. I, as a demon, do not possess human feelings. I was only getting her up and out of bed. There's nothing more to discuss here, correct?" I reply sternly, glaring at anything I could set my eyes on.

"Yes, dismissed." Ciel says, amusement dripping from every word that leaves his mouth. Damn you to hell Ciel. I don't have feelings and you're very much aware of that. Ignorant human boy. I am beginning to question why I thought you were special in the first place. I brood to myself as I exit the room with one last bow. I feel as if my sanity rolls off of my head as it lowers.

[Crystall's POV]

"Tristian, a word." I demand, calling him over from where he was awkwardly standing. I need to know why he has been avoiding me and I need to know now. It's been eating away at me. He's supposed to be there for me, right? He's supposed to help me achieve my goal in life in exchange for my soul, right? I may not know of that goal right now but that doesn't mean he gets to ignore me and stray away from me like he has been. I'll be damned if he's the one to break the contract (AN:No pun intended ;) )

"Yes, Crystall?" He speaks up after standing before me for a few moments. "Is there something wrong? It's not Sebastian, is it? I swear if he's been bothering you I'll-"

"No, no it's nothing like that." I say evenly, being sure to keep my tone as calm as possible. "Actually, the problem I'm having is with you. You've been avoiding me lately. For instance, you weren't the one to wake me up this morning. Sebastian was. The whole ordeal with him could have been avoided if you had done your duty. Now, I don't want to hear excuses I want to hear actual explanations." I rant, loosing my even tone a bit towards the end.

"Crystall, I..I haven't been avoiding you I've been keeping a very close eye on you. I know you'll dismiss me if I stay around you all of the time..so I've been doing it in secret. I just so happened to be outside the manor this morning or I would have awoken you. I do deeply apologize for this mix up but I would never avoid you. Not in a million years Crys." He says, ruffling my hair nervously.

"Alright. Just stay around me where I can speak to you alright? I've been needing to talk to you in private, something has come up." I sigh. Letting go all of the tension in my body that had built up, preparing for him to say he wanted to void the contract.

This is going to be a long night.

AN:Alright! That's the official eighth chapter. I am sorry if it isn't all that great! I will write in my journal after this, like I said. Thank you all for following and I hope to see some reviews!

Love you all ^.^

Forever and Always,
