Hello guys!

Amy: Guess who's back?

Erin: My story!

Amy: No, if anything, we don't want you back.

Erin: Well, sorry grandma, people simply like the new and improved.

Amy:...Bitch, you wanna go?

Erin: I didn't know you bent that way!

Amy: I'll fucking tear you inside out!

Erin: I'll burn you alive!

Amy: Water beats fire, you dumb shit! Do you even pokemon!?

Erin: Pokemon is for kids!

Amy: You're a kid!

Me:...This is why I don't invite these two often...

...Onwards?...

Erin awoke to the sound of soft growling, that droning buzz the same thing she had fallen asleep to. She groaned, getting up, before petting Fang's head, "Still? Buddy, calm down."

But he didn't.

Erin sighed, too tired and stressed to care, before pulling herself out of bed, "Uh-huh." She murmured, going into her closet, before pulling out her white "assassin" jacket, "Zig did repair it…Using red thread." She groaned, before pulling it on, "Still works."

She then went over to her nightstand, pulling out knives and such, before stopping. Something else was in the room with her. Someone…that wasn't human.

She turned around, before jumping back, "Holy shit, hi!" She yelled, jumping.

The figure laughed darkly, stepping out into clear view, smiling like the sadistic asshole he was, "Good morning to you as well, Erin."

Erin sighed, putting her weapons into their pockets, "Not now, Sebastian. I've got things to do."

"Ah yes, I've heard. Killing Trancy? If only you allowed Ciel to help you in on this." Sebastian smirked, looking around, "And, I must say, this place isn't half bad. I assumed that it would be a classless dirt heap, but it isn't."

Erin wanted to bite back, only to choke back down her words, "Okay."

Sebastian gave her a look, over shadowing her as he walked up behind her, "Is everything alright, Erin? You're not acting like yourself."

"I'm fine." Erin said, reloading her gun, before placing it into her belt, "I've just got a lot to do today."

Sebastian gave her a look, "I'll help you."

"No."

"But Eris~." Sebastian purred, making Erin flinch, his breath on her ear, "I'd like to help you. Besides, I can't die. You don't know what you're up against."

"I'm…I'm sure I'll be fine." Erin insisted, trying to leave, only to have Sebastian block her, eyes narrowed.

"…You're afraid of me, aren't you?"

Erin's face light up with red, "No…I have a lot to do-."

"I can tell when you're lying." Sebastian cooed, smirking slightly, "Oh? Is the great Dusty scared?"

"Of a demon? Yes." She said quietly, "But of you? I have more than one reason."

He was about to ask, only to have Erin push past, "Look, Sebastian, I have a lot to do today. I…I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me. Just let me go."

Sebastian's eyebrow raised, before shaking his head, "I'll give you a deal; I'll go with you to help you, and I'll do what I can do to stay out of your way."

Erin was ready to turn him down, only to sigh, "Yeah, sure…Fine."

Sebastian nodded, smiling, before pulling at his gloves, "Good. Now, shall we depart?"

Many people gave Erin look, as she walked about with Fang on a leash. But, after the years, she had been able to have Fang look like large albino dog rather than a tiger. With help from Sebastian, who was very good at detailing, he looked like a very large white dog on a leash.

Erin gulped, keeping her head down, as she walked to the Undertaker's. Sebastian walked behind her, watching her with curiosity.

She'd changed drastically after learning that he was a demon. She went from teasing him, playing around with him, full on slapping him at points; only to have her as she was now.

Scared.

Timid.

Quiet.

It wasn't Erin in the slightest.

He shook his head, as they arrived. Erin knocked on the door, "I'm coming in." Erin murmured, before opening the door. She let the leash go, allowing Fang to run inside, before following after, Sebastian right behind her.

Undertaker walked out from behind the shop, "Is something wrong, poppet?"

Erin shook her head, "No, I just needed something."

"Anything, Eris." Undertaker insisted, about to go on, before spotting Sebastian, "Came I help you, Phantomhive butler?"

"No." Sebastian insisted, "I'm simply here to help Erin."

Undertaker gave him a look, before facing Erin, "What can I get for you, Eris?"

"I need the necklace."

Undertaker tilted his head to the side, before nodding, going into the back of his shop. He returned quickly, walking out, giving her the chain.

She nodded in thanks, taking it, before looking it over. It had been a while since she's last seen it, a simple ring with a ruby in the middle, "Thank you." She murmured, putting it on.

"You'd only ask for that if something were to happen to you." Undertaker said, looking worried, "What is it?"

Erin rubbed the back of her head, "I'm going off to avenge someone…and, to be honest, I don't plan to come back alive."

"What could ever make you think that?" Undertaker scowled, tone taking on a dad-like vibe.

"A friend told me," Erin muttered, before shrugging, "I have to finish what we started."

"Technically, you don't have to-."

Erin shook her head, "A promise."

"That's insane!"

"I know."

Sebastian cleared his throat, giving Undertaker a look, "I will assure you that I'll do whatever I can to keep her alive."

"I don't trust your words, demon." Undertaker growled, before looking Erin over, "You don't need to, poppet. You can back up! You can run away from it all!"

"I'm getting real sick and tired of people telling me to run. I refuse to do so." Erin insisted, shaking her head, "I've come to far. If I'm going to die, I want to fulfill at least one promise."

Undertaker was out of words. Nothing could be said to stop her. Once Erin had her mind set, she'd let nothing stop her.

Nothing but death itself.

"…If you say so, poppet." Undertaker said sadly.

Erin laughed lightly, "It's okay Undie. If you want, I'll have my body taken to you."

"I don't want your body." Undertaker sighed, before giving the demon a look, "If she dies, you'll be answering for it."

Sebastian bowed, "Understood." He said.

Erin nodded, before offering her hand, "It's been a good run, buddy. Maybe, you'll take my soul when I pass on."

Undertaker nodded sadly, "Goodbye…Eris." He said, shaking her hand

With that said, she nodded, before turning around, "Come now, Fang." She murmured, walking out of the store, "It's time for my last mission."

Sebastian followed after, only to have a hand appear on his shoulder. He turned around, "Yes, Undertaker?"

"You take care of that girl." He growled in a low tone, "She's seen and been through so much, too much for a girl of her age. No one should have to go through what she did."

Sebastian nodded, a knowing smile on his face, before bowing, "I promise."

Undertaker growled, before nodding, "Good." He growled, before stalking off.

Sebastian simply straightened out his coat, checking his pocket watch, before walking out to join Erin.

The base had been thrown into absolute chaos.

With Zig in control, she thought it would be easier to manage everything.

She was wrong.

She groaned, holding her head. She always was jealous of Erin's leadership. With all the crap she had to deal with, she always thought that it would be better to run the gang herself. Only now did she see that it was much more than she could handle.

Finally, having had enough of it, Fero stepped forward, "ENOUGH!"

Just like that, the crowd was silent. He nodded to Zig, before walking back over to his chair, his sons all around him.

Zig nodded, before looking out at the crowd, "So, today Erin has left me in charge."

"No shit!" Someone yelled, only to have a giggle run through the crowd.

Zig growled, "Anyway, we have received intel regarding the enemy. They'll be here in less than half an hour, and we must be ready."

A rally of murmurs went through the crowd, before Zig groaned, holding her head. They didn't like her, never have, never will. What was she to do?

"Hey, all of you shut your holes!"

Zig looked up to Kian, who'd stepped p next to her, his eyes flashing dangerously, "I know that none of you like Zig. Heck, she scares most of us leaders."

"Great speech, boss," Someone shouted, "You're REALLY getting us all fired up."

"But that doesn't mean that you don't show her some fucking respect!" Kian went on, eyeing the boy who had spoken up dangerously, "She is Erin's number one friend, and if Erin trusts her, then we better damn well respect her! Got it!?"

No one spoke, but it was clear that Kian's message had been passed on well. Zig whispered a small "thank you", before going on, "I need everyone in there to go with their leaders, main objective is to defend the base. If we could win, that would be helpful as well."

People nodded in agreement, while Zig went on, "Luke, how are you feeling?"

"Like it's a good day to die." The smaller boy grinned, having had recovered decently since the prior day, "Watcha got for me, boss lady?"

"I want your team to on the roof, you and Max." Zig leveled a look with the agitated older brother, "Can I trust you to keep control?"

"Yeah," Max muttered, eyes filled with conviction, before waving over his guys, "Hurry it up, boys, we got the top!"

Zig watched them march off, Luke throwing her a thumbs up as he jogged pass, before turning back to address the rest of the team, "Furthermore, I want the twins running with Oliver as medics. Can we manage that?"

"Sure thing, part-time boss!" The twins said.

Oliver nodded, "Easy enough."

Zig nodded, "Everyone else is on the ground with Fero's team. Understood?"

They all saluted, shouting in cheers and victory. Zig smiled, raising her arms, "Alrighty then, get to your battle stations! We've got a fight to win!"

They all cheered, before dashing off, getting ready. Kian came up behind her, giving her a light smile, "Good job. You did well."

Zig nodded, "Thank you."

Kian sighed, looking around, "How do you think it'll all be? In the end?"

Zig shrugged, watching as the boys got their weapons, talking and chatting like it was just another normal day, "Honestly speaking? I have no idea. I'm hoping to hold the base, at least until Erin can come back. She'll help us win, we just need to buy time."

Kian nodded, before asking, "But, do we have what it takes to buy time?"

She was about to answer, only to have someone run downstairs; Dylan, "Zig, something's wrong."

Zig tilted her head to the side, "What is it?"

"They're here."

Zig's eyes widened, before nodding, "Go tell everyone! We need to be ready!" She shouted. Dylan nodded, rushing out, shouting his warning.

Zig sighed, placing her hand on her lucky katana, the only thing she'd brought with her to Japan, "Kian, can I be honest with you?"

"I'd hope so."

"I'm…I'm scared."

Kian nodded, "I am too. We just gotta believe that we'll make it. Right?"

Zig nodded, "Y-yeah." Before watching as a large group of boys ran down. Zig pulled her sword free, raising it high, "LET'S GO AND WIN A WAR!"

With that said, the doors were slammed open, releasing the boys and Fero's gang outside, filled with waiting enemies.

Zig grinded her teeth, this was gonna be a long and bloody fight.

Erin was perched on a tall tower, overlooking the Trancy estate. She spat, "I hate this place." She growled.

Fang was on the ground, being put up at a last ditch effort. He was the guard Tiger, no one gets in or out.

Behind her, Sebastian pulled at his gloves, "Let's get it over with quickly then, eh?"

Erin nodded, before jumping down. She landed one knee up and the other down, hands spread to soften the fall. Then she moved quickly across the roof, making no sound. She stopped, digging her eagle head into the roof, before jumping over, using it to swing inside the open window. She landed softly, gun out and ready to shoot, only to see no one in the room, "Clear."

"Fr a crazed child like yourself; you sure do know how to be calm and quiet." Sebastian murmured, at this point, trying to get her to say something sarcastic back.

She merely nodded, pushing the door open, before sneaking out. Nothing had really changed since her first visit, the halls still long and seeming to never come to an end. She easily navigated, finding it hard to forget the mapping of a place such as this one.

She quickly found her way to the main room, where two people spoke.

"Found you, you son of a bitch." Erin growled, pulling out her gun, as she listened in on the conversation.

"…Has already been launched. It's all coming together, earl Trancy!"

"Of course it is, it wasn't hard to guess what she'd do," The second voice sent shivers down her spine, hands shaking, "We've got all the pieces in place, sir Dominic, now we just wait!"

"What an excellent play, earl Trancy!"

Alois huffed, "I've waited to long for something such as this to happen. And now, to think that she'll be mine within such a short time!"

"Wow, seems that I've walked right into the middle of a circle jerk."

Both men looked up to see Erin, gun pointed, "Hands where I can see them." Erin growled lightly, "Well? Come on then!"

Peter gave a surprised peep, expression terrified for a second, before smiling, arms spread, "Ah, my dearest Erin, it's been so long! I haven't seen you since I shot-."

"And I'm more than happy to return the favor." Erin growled, "I will shoot you."

Peter scoffed, "Please, if you couldn't then, what makes you think you can now-?"

He was cut off as Erin fired, the bullet true, as it raced through Peter's arm. Peter let out a loud scream, clutching his bleeding arm.

Alois laughed, "Serves you right!"

"While I shot Mr. Dominic in the arm, I'll be more than happy to put one in your head." Erin growled, cocking the gun back once more, before pointing it at Alois, "Call off your men, now!" Erin said, fighting off the waiver in her voice.

Alois cackled, "And why would I do that?"

"Take a guess." Erin threatened, gun still trained on Peter. God, she was so close, she could taste it.

The boy only cackled, holding his stomach as if he were laughing that hard, "Oh please! Even if I could, it would take hours to send. By then, your precious little gang will be dead!"

His grin than turned dark, "Besides, we have some unfinished business, you and I, don't we?"

"Don't fuck with me!" Erin shouted, forcing her nerves down. Her hands wanted to shake, her veins wanted to pop. Her body fought to let the sparks out, whether it be out of anger or a defense mechanism, Erin didn't know.

All she noticed was that it was taking a lot of effort to keep herself together.

"Why don't you take that gun off of my friend here?" Alois suggested, "Than we can all sit down and talk this out like adults."

"I have a promise to keep," Erin growled, feeling her knees weaken as she slowly walked down the stairs, "Sebastian, I need you to back me up." She said, her voice squeaking when she felt his presence intensify.

"No, the Sebastian?" Alois asked, before throwing his head back, cackling, "As in the Phantomhive's brat? He's here, with you!?"

"I couldn't allow her to walk into these odds alone," Sebastian said from behind Erin, said girl nearly shivering. He really needed to stop with all that bullshit, "That wouldn't be very gentlemanly."

Erin was about to go on, only to stop. Something wasn't right.

Alois shrugged, before smirking, red-faced, "It would appear as if a stray demon followed you in, Erin. Or, perhaps..." Alois eyes gleamed, "A sweetheart, perhaps?"

That was the last straw. Erin aimed, and quickly fired…

…Only to have the bullet…caught.

Erin's eyes widened with fright, knowing those golden eyes all too well.

Claude Faust, the man of her nightmares.

Alois smirked, before saying, "Claude, retain her!"

Claude slowly advanced, making Erin step back. Erin fought off every instinct to run, to turn tail and book it right on out, "Fucking try me, demon." Erin hissed, doing her best not to tremble.

Claude held the shadow of a smirk on his face, "I see you still remember me." He murmured, eyes flashing that demonic color.

Erin growled, pulling out her cane, "Last time, I couldn't fight against you. This time…This time, I will!"

With that said, she lunged at him, blade sweeping outwards. It didn't hurt, but it did surprise the spider butler, making him jump back.

Erin entered a flurry of attacks, cutting up his coat jacket quickly. She attempted to go for his neck, only to have him grab her wrist, side stepping, "You really never know when to stop, did you?"

Erin growled, switching to her right arm, only to have Claude grab both arms, pulling her off of the ground. Claude allowed for a small smirk to appear onto his face, "Give up."

"Suck dick." Erin spat, mind splitting into two.

Claude growled, slowly pulling her arms apart. Erin bit down on her lip, ceasing any sounds. She refused to give in, eyes burning.

Thankfully, Alois cut in, "Don't hurt her, idiot!" He ordered.

Peter groaned in agreement, slowly but surely allowing a small smile to appear onto his face, "I'd rather have her unharmed…It won't be nearly as fun if she was."

Alois scowled at Peter's remark, "…Yes…I agree." Alois murmured, walking triumphantly up to Erin, before slapping her across the face.

Sebastian growled, only to have Claude give him a look, "One step, Michaelis. One step, and she's dead."

Sebastian gave him a look, now rendered helpless, before backing down.

Alois laughed, slapping Erin again, "For so long, I've waited for this! How does it feel?"

Peter cleared his throat, "Erm, Alois…We've got Erin now. And you've got your side of a deal to uphold."

Alois gave him a look, before sighing "Ah, yes. Per our agreement, we will split the profit. But, you see, you've overlooked a part of out deal."

Peter held a weary smirk, before pulling out a gun with his unharmed hand, "I'll stop you right there, Trancy."

Alois's eyes didn't even widen slightly, as he smiled, "I really was hoping you'd do that." He murmured, before nodding to Claude.

He swung so fast, Erin blinked and missed it. The only proof that he ever moved were the three golden butter knives sticking out of Peter's chest.

Peter's eyes were wide with shock, grasping at the knives, before sliding to the ground. Even in her current state, Erin couldn't help but feel some glee. She got to watch him die, and die slowly. Peter's blood stained the carpet, dying in a moment of shock.

Alois yawned, before shooting Erin a smirk, "Does it feel good, Erin?" He said, using a mocking tone for the last word, "To see the one who killed your most important person, the one who made you who you are today, dead? It must feel good."

"My only regret is that I didn't get to do it." Alois growled, before spitting blood out, right onto Alois' face.

Alois stood there, face covered in blood in spit, only to grin, "You know, last I remembered you, you weren't as rebellious as you are now. But, things change…A lot has already changed. Don't you agree, my darling?"

"Don't call me that." Erin growled, trying to wiggle free, only to have Claude's grip tighten, "Never call me that."

"Don't speak to me like that!" Alois shouted, back handing her, hard, "You were promised to me! This whole time, you were supposed to me MINE!"

Erin watched as the boy slowly but surely calmed himself, smirk resituating on his face, "And you will be mine, all mine, very soon." Alois cackled, before looking over to Sebastian, "Oh? Is the Phantomhive butler confused? It's not a good look on you."

Sebastian said nothing, before looking to Erin, "What is he talking about; Erin?"

Erin gulped, only to have Alois cackle once again, falling to the ground, pounding it in his madness, "Oh, does he not know? Damn, Erin! Such a good little lair, keeping a secret that big! Why don't you simply tell the truth for once?"

Erin gulped, catching Sebastian's look, "She hasn't told you anything! How peculiar!" Alois giggled, before grabbing at Erin's hair, forcing her to look Sebastian in the eye, "Ever wonder why no one has ever found poor little Anastasia's body? Why it was never mentioned in the documents? It took awhile for me to piece it together, you know, you're whole revenge plan. But once I did, it all made perfect sense."

"Shut up." Erin growled, fists shaking.

"You didn't fake your death that day now, did you?" Alois jeered, clapping his hands together, "No, someone died, but it wasn't the one everyone was led to believe."

"So, are you going to croak, Erin?" Alois sneered, "Or should I even call you that?"

Erin sighed, trying one more time to break free, only to sigh with defeat, "My name isn't Erin, it's...it's…"

Amy: She's gonna say witch.

Erin:...

Amy: Oh, wrong? My bad...She'll say she's a bitch instead.

Me: I wonder how long the reviewers and readers are willing to wait...

Erin: Yeah, like you'd ever keep an update away.

Me:..True...

But...

Love it?

Hate it?

Got the reference?

Lemme know in the reviews!

Thanks guys, I know that a little while ago, I fucked up the chapters, but you'll be happy to know that everything is A-okay!

...But...Things will change...

The Judo season's coming up guys, and you know what that means. I'll have less time to update. And thus, I don't really know when I'll update next. I will most likely pdate like crazy on weekends, but, till then, I will most likely no longer update during the week.

...Guys...I'm sorry...But it needs to be done.

I will still update, I will still do as I can, but, I won't be able to update as much as usual. I will do what I can, I do have a lot of chapters pre-written, s who knows? Maybe I'll have time ot quickly update.

And so, with that said, till next time guys!

Bai bai!
