"Those round eyes, so innocent to the filth of this world. That adorable yet somehow noble tail…those…pale pink soft paws."

"Sebastian, what the hell is wrong with you today?"

"What do you mean, my lord?" Sebastian set down the tabby cat and turned his attention to hi young master.

"You aren't treating the cats like you used to," Ciel said, not even looking up from the paper.

"Used to?" Sebastian began to pour a cup of tea.

"Since Pluto left, you haven't touched the cats the same way," Ciel explained, getting agitated.

"Hmm, I don't know, my lord."

"Today's snack is chocolate sorbet on a tuille cookie…"

"Sebastian, should you have gone on that trip? You're not yourself, and the last thing I want to see is a disheartened demon." Ciel took a bite of the chocolate sorbet and then returned to his paper.

The trip….Kura…..No. These thoughts aren't right for a demon. Kura…her smooth pelt, the color of midnight, her bright pink paws….

"Sebastian, go on the trip. I can go live with Elizabeth's family for a few days."

"You are most gracious, my lord." Without another word, Sebastian swept out of the room. Something wasn't right, he could feel it. Whether it be Pluto, or Finny, or Meirin, or Bard, omething was wrong. And as much as he hated to think it, something could also be happening to…Kura.

Her soul, it was so tempting, so magnetic, so so, mysteriously alluring. Her soul…could it actually be similar to Young master's?
