"Claude, you naughty boy," the boy said. "Your mine, not hers. I have a seal to prove it!" The boy showed his tongue, revealing Claude's spider contract.

The boy gave Rei a disgusted look. "Hello, I'm Rei Starner," Rei said. "Who might you be?" Rei already knew who the boy was but wanted to be polite. The boy was Alois Trancy, proven by his seal on his tongue. The boy grabbed Claudes arm and said, "I'm Alois Trancy. Now come on, Claude."

Claude pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose so the sun reflected perfectly off his glasses. "Yes, your highness," he said and turned away from Rei. He started to walk away, Alois holding on to his arm. All of a sudden, Alois turned around and stuck his tongue out at Rei and laughed. He turned back around and started to pester Claude again with his never-ending taunts.

Claude remained expressionless like he usually was, then Alois started making fun of Rei. Claude snapped. "Your highness, keep Rei out of this," he said, angrily. Alois looked at him in horror. He kicked Claude. "Don't you ever say anything like that again, Claude! Your mine and I have a seal to prove it," Alois screamed at him. Claude calmed and said, "Yes, your highness."

Claude was tired of remaining expressionless to this little brat. He wanted to have his feast and stay with Rei. Rei belonged to him, literally. He had made a tiny seal on her back, so tiny no one could see it no matter what. But he knew it was there, and so did Kat. Rei was his first crush He still loved Rei, and he always would. He wished Rei loved him back. They could stay together forever.

Claude smiled for the longest time. Whenever he thought about Rei, she made him smile. She was so beautiful, smart, and a demon, like him. She had the rare brown red eyes of a demon. Rei was special not only because of her red brown eyes, but her essence was nothing compared to the other demons.

Rei couldn't sleep that night. She looked at the slip of paper for the millionth time that night. She remembered the expression of Ciel's face when he wrote Alois's name. He wanted Alois dead no matter what. He wanted him dead but didn't want to kill him himself, and he didn't want Sebastian to do it either. Rei clenched the paper in her hand. She looked at the crumbled up paper in her hand.

I can't kill him even if I wanted. I'm not that kind of person to kill my own childhood friend, Rei thought. She threw the ball as hard as she could into the trash can. She didn't want Sebastian anymore. She wanted Claude. And she would get him. She remembered what Kat had told her the last day before she had to leave.

Flashback

"Hello, Kat," Rei said and walked up to Kat.

"Hello," Kat said.

"I need to tell you something," Rei said. "I'm leaving tomorrow. My mistress is being born. Her name is Mistress Candy."

Kat nodded. "Well, I need to tell you something too. Claude told me tell you it on the last day you were here. He wanted me to tell you that he only talked to you because he thought you were beautiful. Then he got to know you. He said he learned you were smart, funny, beautiful, and nice. He knows your a cat but he doesn't care, Rei. Rei, you are Claude Faustuse's very first crush and love." Kat walked off and Rei looked at the spot were Kat was sitting.

She had a surprised look on her face. She wish she could tell Claude she loved him too. But there was no time. She had to make the seal in exactly 13 hours and 15 seconds. She needed to pack the little things she had with her and leave the demon world immediately.

Flashback End

Rei grabbed the paper she kept for years. It was a small letter from Kat. It read;

Rei, my dearest friend,

I miss you dearly. I'm still waiting here for my own lord. It is very boring without you here. Everybody has left but Sammy, Tom, and I. We don't talk much because we don't like each other. I hope you write back. Please write in demon words. I know you have been with Candy and can't come back. You must have forgotten how to read, but not write, demon. Write cell 33990. It will send it straight to me.

Love,

Kat

Rei held the letter close to her demon heart. "I'll never forget you, Kat," Rei said aloud. "For as long as I live, I will never forget you."
