~Chapter 4~

At the Alois Trancy Manor

Miyuki looked at the Manor. She couldn't believe she was actually going let alone as a cat. The collar had a lash attached to it and Azure held it. Miyuki was a cat and Azure was her 'owner.'

Miyuki stopped for a second and looked to her friend. Mika was a peppermint. A PEPPERMINT! What an idiotic costume! Miyuki thought but she erased the thought after looking at herself. She walked up to the Mansion and knocked. Alois peeked through the door then opened in widely and smiled. "AH! You came!" He said hugging her.

"Not coming was an option?"

Alois grabbed the girls hand and lead them in. Miyuki noticed a tall butler. He must also be a demon. Her mind wondered to the visit she had with Ciel. "Then you're a cat! Huh?"

Miyuki was annoyed that his voice was so loud. She rolled her eyes. "Yes, meow."

Alois seemed not amused then he smiled. "Can't you give me a real smile!?" Miyuki shook her head, no. "Do it!" Alois laughed but his voice seems like an order. Miyuki looked at him for a second then at Azure. Azure shrugged. Miyuki sighed.

She put her balled up hands up and purred. "Meow~!"

Everyone stared at her. The only person that wasn't affected was Alois butler. A rose was in his mouth. Heat came to her cheeks and she looked away. Her gaze met a familiar face. Ciel Phantomhive. Ciel Phantomhive is here. And he saw her meow like a cat. She don't know even knew who is here but now! Now she purred and meowed like a cat in front of Ciel Phantomhive. But why did she care?

"Fantastico!" Alois squealed. Azure let go of Miyuki lash as Alois pulled Miyuki to the center of the room. He put his hand on her waist and started to dance with her.

"Ack," Miyuki looked away. Alois was really close. She spotted his butler again. "Your butler seems…obedient." Was all she can say? Alois smiled to his butler.

"Yes my Claude is quite wonderful!" My? "Much better than the Phantomhive's butler don't you think?" Miyuki looked back at Ciel. Sebastian standing right next to him.

Miyuki shrugged. Why did he bring that up? "Sure." She managed to say. Alois was dressed in a vampire costume. Fake blood hangs from his fangs and his sharp eyes completed the look. "So why did you invite me here?" She whispered. "I mean I don't know you."

Alois suddenly looked upset. He step away from Miyuki and stopped dancing.

"You don't want to be here?" He asked softly tilting his head. Then he looked down. "I guess…" Is he…? "I guess I can understand. But you…I…" Alois closed his eyes.

What is wrong with this kid!? Miyuki yelled to herself. She never knew asking a simple question could make a kid to the brink of tears. She stepped closer to him. "No, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just not as famous as some. I'm astonished I was even invited here or to the Phantomhive's!" Alois turned to her shocked. Then a smile crept onto his face and he pulled her close.

Hugging her.

Squeezing her.

"Bye!" He danced to his butler. "Claude!"

Miyuki rubbed her temples and sighed. She couldn't understand that kid. One sec he's dancing happily with her. Then he's almost crying. And then he's hugging her just to run off. Miyuki closed her eyes thinking to herself. She could have sworn that Alois muttered the words, 'Phantomhive won't win.' She turned only then to bump into a tall ebony haired boy dressed as some kind of criminal or gangster.

"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" The boy asked flipping his hair.

Miyuki narrowed her eyes at him. Flirting? He was obviously five years older than her. Why the heck is he flirting? "Yeah that's why I don't go there anymore." She answered bluntly walking away.

The boy grabbed her arm. "Come on, Kitty." He smirked. "I can make you very happy."

Sickening.

"Are you leaving?" She stated flatly. Miyuki tried to wiggle her arm out of his grasp but he was stronger than she expected. Grabbing his arm, Miyuki ripped his arm away from hers and started walking to the seats. But before she left completely she heard him say, "Ouch, she scratched me. That little…"

Many guys still when to her flirting and trying to do these ridiculous pick-up lines. Like, "Damn girl, you like fiiiiiiiiiinnnne!"

And she'll answered, "Damn boy are you the sun because you need to stay 92, 690, 000 miles AWAY from me."

And another will go, "Hey, didn't we go on a date once or twice?"

And she'll say, "Probably once. I'll never make the same mistake twice."

And another, "I would die for you."

And her, "Prove it."

Another would say, "If I could rearrange the alphabet I'll put U and I together."

And she would say, "Oh, really I'll put F and U together."

It was all so utterly exhausting for her. Very exhausting. Miyuki flopped down on a seat near the entrance. She really just requests this whole thing was over so she can leave and go home. Looking around she sees hear friend Mika dancing with an about ten year old boy. It was the same ten year old boy that Miyuki had to dance with. She couldn't reject him like the others because his poem was so sweet.

You may fall from the sky.

You may fall from a tree.

But the best way to fall,

Is in love with me.

Mika must have gotten guilt tripped too. Looking around more, Miyuki then spotted Azure practically stalking the butler Sebastian. Miyuki giggled at her maid not having the guts to go and asked him to dance. Maybe if Azure was a demon Miyuki will be able to order her to ask Sebastian instead of being such a scary cat. Miyuki stopped in her thought she was the one who was dressed as a cat.

Azure smiled as she looked at her Master. Azure gave her a thumb up and Miyuki gave it back. Azure headed toward Sebastian.

Miyuki guess she'll stay awhile. Just to see how this party will turn out. She closed her eyes. When she opened them again she saw Ciel Phantomhive standing in front of her as a pirate.

Miyuki couldn't help but laugh.

She never ever ever thought that she will see the Queen's guard dog Ciel Phantomhive as a pirate.

"What's amuses you to make you laugh so much?" Ciel asked coldly.

Miyuki turned back to him and stated through her laughs, "N-nothing. It's just…" After her laughing fit, she stared at Ciel. "So are you going to say so lame pick-up line too?"

Ciel face went red! "No!"

"I'm kidding calm down." Miyuki answered playing with her cat ears. "So what do you want?" Ciel still stood there. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dance floor right as a song played. Ciel looked away as he began dancing with her. "Hey, you could have just asked me if you wanted to dance." Miyuki said. Ciel face went red again. "I don't hate you as much as I did before, I would have said yes."

"Ms. Mori."

"Miyuki." She answered. "My name's Miyuki."

"How did you know about Sebastian?" He asked bluntly.

Miyuki was startled by the question first then she thought to herself. She actually didn't know. "I'm not sure."
