Summary: Prince Soma visits Ciel who is spending time with Lizzie. Catherine meets Agni for the first time and notices what Sebastian has failed to. She reveals his true nature and secrets spill out everywhere. Catherine pulls another party in for a future battle of her own making.

'Ciel!' Prince Soma exclaimed running in through the mansion doors. Sebastian merely smiled and greeted Agni instead who entered in a more modest manor.

'Soma!' Lizzie exclaimed back instead, jumping to her feet. Ciel paused, teacup to his lips in surprise. That was her adopted elder brother or so the prince had said before. The purple haired boy immediately redirected his attention.

'Lizzie! How wonderful to see you! But… are you shorter?' He wondered innocently. Lizzie giggled.

'No, silly! You've gotten taller!' She laughed at his ridiculousness. Catherine observed quietly as Sebastian and Agni approached. 'Agni! Nice to see you again.' The young girl smiled.

Agni returned it peacefully and bowed. 'Likewise, Miss Lizzie.' He answered politely.

Catherine smiled serenely as Soma bounded to her like a happy puppy. 'I have not met you yet, lady servant. Do you belong to Ciel?' he asked bluntly.

It might have seemed a bit rude but Catherine could see he was just a child at heart, blatantly honest. 'I am Lady Elizabeth's personal maid, Catherine. It is a pleasure to meet you, young prince.' She introduced with a curtsey, conveniently leaving out her surname.

'Same here. This is my butler, Agni!' He introduced in return, not at all frightened of her as he was of Sebastian. The silver-haired servant bowed to her in greeting.

'You bear much resemblance to Sebastian, Catherine.' Agni commented just to let the prince know what he was missing. Catherine didn't mind. It would've come out sooner or later.

'Why, thank you. He's my brother.' She said with a smile that resembled more of Sebastian's. The demon butler shook his head slightly but a smile was etched on his lips.

'Y-you're Sebastian's sister?' Soma stuttered slightly. Lizzie sent a confused look at the usually carefree prince act so nervous. Agni didn't seem fazed but sent a quick glance to Lizzie which Catherine saw.

'Don't worry, my brother and I are different.' She spoke, but addressed more to Agni, causing the Indian butler to stare at her, struck with something akin to shock.

'Is something the matter, Catherine?' Lizzie asked, quietly, drawn away slightly from her cute nature. Ciel turned his sharp eyes to Sebastian who sported a slightly confused look.

'Nothing that requires immediate attention, my lady. If it pleases you, I will take care of it after dinner preparations.' Catherine replied ominously. Lizzie understood though and nodded, finishing her cup of tea. She linked arms with Soma and Ciel and tugged them away cheerily.

'Come on, I'll teach you both to fence while the servants handle dinner!' she offered in a tone that wouldn't accept refusals. Catherine watched her lady go with a sigh. Fencing… she hoped sincerely Lizzie would remember to hold back.

'I can help Sebastian in your place, if you would like to see to Miss Lizzie's affairs.' Agni offered politely, sweating on the inside. Catherine broke into a crooked smile whilst trying to hold back laughter.

'That's nice of you, Agni but I'm sure three people of our skills can finish dinner preparations must faster.' Catherine said, lacing the word with emphasis. Sebastian's brows furrowed as he looked at the other butler.

'You're rather excited today, sister.' Sebastian commented offhandedly, following her into the kitchens with Agni. She looked back with a devilish smile.

'It must be that gorgeous silver hair.' She teased, causing Agni to blush in embarrassment and avert his eyes shyly. Sebastian resisted the urge to growl at his sister's utter indecency.

PART TWO

Dinner went on perfectly fine but Catherine noted Soma was looking at Lizzie in awe and Ciel was slightly tired out. And the green-eyed girl blushed in apologetic nature. Agni was acting nervous. It was strange. Soma was beginning to notice. Sebastian was frustrated at the inside joke he seemed to be excluded from and Catherine… she was planning on a nice after dinner show.

'Have you dealt with it yet, Catherine?' Lizzie asked nonchalantly, after the dishes were cleared.

'If my lady would allow it, I would like to do this publicly.' Catherine stated, making Agni look at her in wide eyed fear.

Lizzie touched the top of her head, smoothing her hair before glancing at a curious Ciel. She had promised him no secrets since the day he had read her journal. 'Very well.'

Catherine smacked her hands together in a prayer like fashion, closing her eyes. When she opened them, they were demon red and a large store of magic surrounded her. Sebastian blinked. Agni stared. This side of Catherine was rarely seen so clearly, it scared the prince enough that he took a step back. 'Revelation.' She murmured.

The magic that surrounded her flew out in a wide circle then. Agni jump to avoid it but it reached every part of the room before dissipating. One second passed, then another… Lizzie's neck ribbon broke along with Ciel's eyepatch, showing off glowing contract seals. Soma stared before staring at him oken skin which emitted a glowing gold aura.

'Catherine…' Sebastian said warningly as his eyes went demonic.

'Be patient, brother.' Catherine rebuked him calmly, furry ears and a tail growing from the top of her head and lower back respectively. Lizzie also grew ears that were a light tan-like colour and softer than Catherine's. A white-tipped fox's tail appeared too and she patiently waited for Ciel's reaction. He just stared.

'You're rather cute, Lizzie.' He said, probably stunned. She blushed and stuttered out an explaination.

'This spell shows people for what they really are. Every witch has an animal that is represented by them.' She muttered, her eyes watching the butlers as Ciel and Soma were.

'That's right, my lady. All demons have black wings.' Catherine spoke calmly, black wings exploding from her back. Sebastian's wings also appeared and he glared at his sister before turning his eyes to his friend who was holding his head in panic.

He fell to his knees and Soma started forward, worry in his eyes but Lizzie held him back. Then from Agni's back exploded a pair of divine, grey wings. He hung his head in shame. He had been found out. Sebastian stared, he had believed Agni to be human. How had he missed this? How did Catherine know? 'Agni?' Soma called out, still worried. When Agni looked up to the sound if his voice, everyone saw his teary glowing grey eyes.

Catherine approached him and knelt by the man with a soft smile. 'How did you…?' Agni asked helplessly. It was over, everyone knew now. His prince knew.

'I told you. My brother and I are different. A fallen angel of your level can hide from any demon, even Sebastian. But I'm a demon witch. A witch can do many things. I sensed two holy beings enter this house today.' She spoke and looked back to see Soma standing there, looking at his butler.

'Forgive me!' Agni cried out, bowing his head before Soma. 'I've lied to you!'

'What are you talking about? Everybody knows you're an angel!' Soma laughed cheerily, placing a hand on the shaking man's shoulder. Everyone looked at the prince as if he was insane. 'Why else would you revere me as your god?' he said simply.

Catherine chuckled at the young prince's logic. Agni looked up in wonder and Soma extended his hand which was taken instantly. Catherine looked to her left to see her brother's ungloved hand, bearing the contract seal. She smiled and allowed him to help her up, her own seal bright on her hand. Lizzie sighed and seated herself carefully so as not to squish her tail.

'Catherine, how long are we going to be like this?' She asked, exasperated.

'An hour.'

'I think that hour will be put to good use explaining everything including why you did this in the first place.' Lizzie spoke, her cute manner gone, despite her current fuzziness. All eyes turned to the demon witch.

Catherine smiled and placed a hand over her heart. 'As my lady wishes.' She opened her mouth to explain but was interrupted by Soma's childishly raised hand. She smiled at him to continue.

'Why am I glowing?' He asked timidly, now knowing what she was capable of.

'You are to Agni what my lady is to me but in a divine way. You're a mortal god. A fallen angel that does not wander into hell chooses a new god to follow. I'm quite sure at one point in your life, you must have saved him… that was you accepting a fallen angel.' She explained to the young boy simply. Ciel spluttered but said nothing. Honestly, Soma, a god? Nonetheless, a mortal one.

'He must be quite the angel.' Sebastian said but there was not a hint of contempt.

'Put out because you couldn't sense you friend?' Catherine taunted, her tail swishing. 'I'd be surprised if you could. Agni is an angel of devotion. It's rare for them to fall at all. So whatever the reason is for his being here, he probably won't say.'

Agni looked away but his wings ruffled uneasily. 'You've yet to explain why you've revealed me.'

'I'm getting there. As I hinted before to you, I'm not interested in devouring my lady's soul but Sebastian is a true demon and therefore, once the contract is completed, Ciel's soul will be consumed.' She said slowly, watching Soma take this in and turn from scared to angry.

'He can't do that!' Soma protested, making Lizzie tense and Ciel's eyes harden.

'I know that. I planned to save Master Ciel because he is a friend to my god.' Agni spoke, watching his prince.

'But it might not succeed, as strong as you are, so is my brother. Besides, your method would leave Ciel mortal, correct? In the end, he'd still die and leave my lady behind. So… I would like to propose a new plan.' Catherine offered slyly.

'You're making this difficult for me, sister.' Sebastian spoke, irritated but Lizzie had a smug possessive look on her features, her ears twitching.

'I'm fulfilling my contract, brother.' She retorted mockingly before turning back to Soma and Agni. 'My lady's contract is to protect and love Master Ciel for eternity. May I call on your help?' she asked, extending her hand to Soma instead.

The prince grasped her hand firmly and shook it. 'We will help ensure Ciel's safety. Agni?' Soma stated, glancing at the fallen angel. He smiled apologetically at his demon friend but bowed to his god.

'Jo ajna.'

Sebastian smiles wryly at his sister and friend. There's going to be a very interesting battle in the future and as if reading his thoughts, Agni returned to him a knowing smile and Catherine, a mischievous one. A very interesting battle indeed.
