Alois lead you into a slow waltz, his slender fingers entwined with yours, a satisfied smirk gracing his lips. Your eyes darted among the crowd, their faces showing complete amusement and delight.

Ciel...I know you're there...Where are you?...I feel lost...Where...Ciel... Your hand unconsciously gripped Alois' own tighter as you continued to stay in trance.

"Hey, _. Are you enjoying it here in the Trancy Manor? Are ya? Are ya?" Alois snickered slightly, you nodded slowly in response. Unsure of your answer you stared down at your feet, watching as Alois' steps matched yours.

"Tell me...what do you think of Ciel Phantomhive." His eyes narrowed and his smile dropped, his hand gripped yours tightly, tight enough to be bordered painful. You remained silent, before you turned away, only infuriating the blonde even more...

Click...Click...Click...

"Come..._..."

You could hear the slight tapping of boots...Your ears perking up to the sound of the voice that called out your name ever so faintly. The music stopped, the lights turned out, a familiar demon's voice spoke as you were snatched away.

"Shall we dance? I'd gladly be your partner...For Danse Macabre." Strong arms captured you and took you farther away from the blonde, taking advantage of the confusion that had been set.

"S-Sebastian? W-what is-" Sebastian stopped you mid-sentence, his eyes glowing a menacing pink as he jumped out of the window and into the courtyard, where the floors were tiled and polished for the event. Your eyes filled with joy as blue eyes stared into your _e/c_ orbs, but that joy lasted for only a moment, Ciel's eyes turned red, his fangs barring as his grin grew wider.

"Demon...," Your mouth gaped open for a moment as you walked closer to Ciel, cupping his cheeks for a moment before gasping,"But...but why?...How did this...How did this happen?" Your eyes stared at him, thoughts still swirling in your mind, it all snapped once Ciel cupped your cheek and brushed his lips slightly upon yours.

"I told you you're mine, didn't I? And until the day you start remembering, I'll eradicate every single one...", his fingers made it's way to your hair, his head lowering to your ear and whispered making you shiver as you felt his hot breath trickling down your skin,"who stands in my way."

Shhiickk!

"Eavesdropping on the young master's reunion? You've sunk low, spider." Sebastian scoffed as he threw away the golden knives and took out his own set.

"Not when a soul is in a gamble." He pushed his glasses upwards and smirked, taking out another set. His cold dark gaze rested upon your form as you took out your own weapon, gripping it tightly as you lunged forward, only to be blocked by Hanna, her blue eyes gazing upon you with sorrow.

"I'm sorry...but for the sake of my master I will not fail..."

"I never asked you to worry about me, did I? Hanna."

Hanna turned around, her hair swaying as the cold breeze went by.

"So...you finally came, Trancy." Ciel's voice was heard, the sound of metal rushed to your ears as Ciel unsheathed the sword in his pirate costume, his red eyes gazing upon the blonde like a predator.

"I very well would not decline your offer, it isn't everyday that I'll get to dance the 'Danse macabre' with the Phantomhive himself." Alois snickered, the snicker turning into a deep growl, the growl turning into a psychotic laugh as he held his own blade and stared into Ciel's glowing red eyes.

"Then...", Ciel took a step forward, swishing his sword in the air.

"Shall we start?"

The demon woman stood protectively between you and Alois. Her eyes were sad and conflicted, her long hair swaying in the midnight breeze that passed. You stared into her own eyes, stood straight and stabbed your weapon into the ground leaning your back onto it slightly.

"So...have the tables turned? Hanna." You stated sternly, watching as her eyes darted around the area, obviously evading your own _e/c_ orbs. Moments have passed, she hung her head low. You retrieved your scythe, the sound of silverware clashing filled your ears as Claude had lunged a knife at your face, luckily Sebastian had deflected the attack in the nick of time.

"I suppose this means you won't be letting me out, Hanna?" You tilted your head as if acting innocent, though your grip on your weapon grew tighter.

"I suppose not." She brought her fingers to her lips and let out a whistle, the triplet demons appeared in a flash behind her, weapon in toll.

"Then...shall I invite you to dance the Danse Macabre? Alois Trancy." Ciel's voice rang, his footsteps advanced toward Alois. He walked past you, giving a slight tap on your back which made you smile ever so slightly.

"I suppose, their dilly-dally conversation has bored us enough, no?" Alois grabbed his own blade and ripped it through the air, a contented smirk crept to his face.

"Sebastian."

"Claude."

The demon butlers responded, their attacks coming in strong blows. Only glimpses of their shadows are seen as they flashed through the night. You turned your attention back to the woman just in time to deflect one of the triplet's lunge of the spear, and dodged just in time to evade the axe. Truth be told, this was sort of difficult for you despite your many years of training in combat it was hard to battle three opponents and still keep an eye on Hanna if ever she was to attack. Your eyes darted over to Ciel who was having a rather leisure chat with the Trancy Earl.

"I see that you've taken good care of _ during my absence. I truly do thank you. She is quite troublesome at times though, I'd have to admit. But I'm glad that you were able to look after her, as you are the master of this house I shall try once more to talk you through this. I do not want any casualties tonight. So I suggest that y-" Strands of Ciel's blue hair fell to his shoulders as Alois had lunged forward, stopping Ciel in mid-sentence. A smirk formed on his lips and his eyes turned deep red as he stared into the blonde's blue eyes.

"I am not letting go of _, she's quite interesting and I deem to know more about her." Alois stepped back and pointed the blade at Ciel's chest.

"And I suppose that demons aren't really capable of love now that you don't have a soul, no?" Ciel's smirk grew wider, and his eyes glowed a bright pink.

"That, I am afraid, is information I cannot disclose to you. About demons not having hearts, that is by far, the vaguest information I have ever heard my entire life being the Queen's watchdog." Ciel's blade pointed at the blonde's chest as well, the two circled each other before lunging in strong blows and pierces. The sound of cloth ripping filled the air.

"You certainly are quite a sneaky spider are you not?" Sebastian spat out, revealing another set of silverware, making aim for the sharp eyed butler.

"The sneaky little spider ran up the water spout,Down came the rain and washed the spider out" Sebastian sang, taunting Claude at his own game.

"How interesting, crow." They ended up throwing more and more blades at each other, silverware were thrown into the sky. Claude winced, a knife had hit him square in the chest. Sebastian's smile grew sadistic and wide.

"I shall enjoy torturing you, spider." Sebastian's hand slipped into his jacket to retrieve a white lasso. Claude's eyes widened as he felt it's holy presence.

"That's...an *angel's lasso...Where did you-"

"I've got help from a certain duo...Angela and Ashe, I'm sure you've heard of them. Haven't you?"

The triplets moved in perfect sync, one of them jumped up almost catching you by surprise, luckily you were able to dodge and swing your scythe at the demon, sending him flying and hitting his head badly on the tree nearby. You watched as he became immobile and started bleeding, his blood pooling beneath him.

You heard the ripping of air as you turned your head around and moved to the side, evading the lance that one of them had tried skewering you in.

"Dirty ." You said, annoyed, as you kicked one of them and swung your scythe at the other. Both of them falling afterwards. You flipped your _h/l_ hair, before looking into the demon woman's eyes. A gun aimed right at you.

"Are you sure that, that," pointing at the gun, "could kill me?" You asked mockingly, before a gasp escaped your lips as she pointed it to her head, smiling before pulling the trigger. Splatters of blood dripped on the floor as her body fell with a thud.

Claude's body disintegrated as Sebastian lashed him repeatedly with the whip, his body feeling lighter and better every time. Just what you'd call a sadistic demon. Sebastian brought the whip to his lips and kissed it gently.

"Down came the water and washed the spider out, and the sneaky little spider never lived again."

"So...it's just you and me now...Trancy." Ciel's ears caught Claude's screaming and as did Alois. He began to tremble and his knees buckled, making him kneel at Ciel's feet. A smirk filled Ciel's face as Alois began to plead to him.

"Then...why don't you go after them?" Alois hissed in pain as Ciel's sword pierced his chest, coughing out blood. His cries echoed around the area, you looked at him in pure pity. You looked away, imagining the excruciating pain he was feeling.

"I'm sorry...Alois..." Sebastian walked toward you, placing a hand on your shoulder. Alois' screaming died out and you could hear footsteps walking closer, and the weight of sebastian's hands lifted from your shoulders. A hand gently cupped your cheek, making you look into deep red eyes.

"I'll tell you once more _, you are mine and mine only. Understood?" Ciel's voice came in a commanding tone, you nodded, burrying yourself into his chest, sobbing quietly for a few minutes.

"It's over...the image of death will no longer haunt us...no...never again..." You looked up at him as he stroked your hair, cupped your cheek and placed a gentle kiss on your lips.

Yes...That's right...Once, twice...more than I could count, the image of death haunted my very being. But now that I've found you, now that we're together. Never again will the past haunt me. Never again will the image of death push me beyond my limits. Now that I love you...
