I BET YOU DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE ME AGAIN. HA!

I just love you so much.. I couldn't just-..

*tears up dramatically*

ABANDON YOU.

I DON'T OWN KUROSHITSUJI. GAWD.

*-~.,,.~-**-BACK AT THE MANOR-**-~.,,.~-*

The four female grim reapers, back at the manor, didn't exactly behave their best while the young nobles were away. No, not in the least…

"GIVE IT BACK!" An infuriated Saki shrieked. She sprinted around the halls, kicking up every rug she treads on, sending any expensive décor soaring through the halls and shattering into shining shards. The malicious dark cloud, known as Saki, was only feet behind a horrified Asami. Asami appears to have stolen Saki's handheld blade sharpener. Saki's prized possession.

"YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!" She shrieked, obviously in fear of being massacred on the spot by the red-eyed she-reaper.

"THAT CAN BE ARRANGED!" With one swift stride, Saki leaped onto Asami's back and sent both of them flying into the rock hard wall. Saki fixed her, now tangled, hair and pulled the sharpener away from the clumsy Asami, and into her arms. She glanced at the other and smirked, showing her sharp teeth, and used her shoulder to push herself up into a stand.

Asami pouted, "I only wanted to sharpen my katana… I misplaced my sharpener… and well… I knew you wouldn't willingly give it to me if I asked you!" She finished with a loud whine and rubbed her head of the bump the cruel wall gave her.

"Well, now, I'll never give it to you. You've lost my trust, dear sister…" Saki calmly replied, "Oh and, by the way, I'm going to have to get back at you for this little incident." She whispered and gave a kind smile that had an off feeling to it. It creeps everyone out when she does things like that. But, honestly, she doesn't care what anyone thinks of her... If she ever does, she can just slit their throats on the spot, anyways. That's just how her mind works.

Asami cowered in fear, silently. A few minutes later, Minami and Mitsuki approached them through the other end of the hall. Minami gave Saki a disappointed look, but Mitsuki just lied on the floor playing with a loose string on the carpet.

"I've told you before to take your anger out in the stress relieving techniques I showed you." Minami gently scolded, as to not push any of Saki's buttons.

Saki argued, "Why should I do that? I can take anyone who messes with me on in a fight…"

"-That's not what I meant." Minami's eyebrow twitched in frustration.

The dark blonde one replied, " Besides, your 'techniques' are stupid." She brought her eyes down to Mitsuki playing with the tattered rug.

"Hey! That's just cruel!" The short-haired one cried nonexistent tears, "I worked really hard on perfecting them!"

"Maybe you should try a different hobby." She retorted sarcastically with dark red eyes that possessed no shine.

"I don't know why we stay friends with you-" Her eyebrow twitched again.

Saki grinned, "Because you couldn't live without me."

Asami rejoined the conversation in with a brash cry, "I'D BE HAPPIER IF CIEL WAS HOME TO PROTECT ME!"

"Where did they all go? And why would they trust us being here alone?" Minami asked.

"And why does Asami have to make her crush so obvious…" Saki asked rhetorically.

"COULD YOU BOTH JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTHS FOR A SECOND?!" Minami shocked all three of the girls, including the cat-girl on the carpet. Saki stood looking annoyed from the fact that she stole her thunder, being louder and cutting her off like that.

Everyone stayed silent for a moment and kept their eyes on Minami, then around the hallway. A quiet pitter-patter moved around the walls.

"There's something in the walls…" Asami pointed out the obvious, "So I think we know what to do." She finished with a smirk that the others mimicked.

All of the young reapers unsheathed their scythes, but Mitsuki: who couldn't control it. They got into a ready stance and narrowed their eyes that followed the near-silent movements. Minami stood to the right, Saki in the front, Asami to the left and Mitsuki in the back. Mitsuki was the most eager to catch the creature beyond their reach and started accidently clawing the rug, leaving noticeable rips.

A crash sounded from behind the wall making Mitsuki jump. All of the sudden, an eruption of blinding light formed around her bracelet, engulfing it in silver and gold. Soon, she had her golden claws completely prepared and excited for the prey's future demise. She let out a deep growl and looked at the others.

Asami held her pure katana as an extension of her arm; Minami gripped her bow tightly and took a deep breath, and Saki grinned with pointed teeth while admiring her golden daggers. They all sprinted through the wall. Yes, through the wall, like it was a sheet of paper. Broken wood flew everywhere, smashing several plants, vases and tables. The reapers fell over each other trying to chase the rodent, leaving a trail of destruction behind them. Not one of them managed to cut even a hair off of the pest by the time Sebastian caught them, saving the manor from any further obliteration and the mouse from imminent doom. His presence was uncomfortable for the first two three, but Saki found his acknowledgement of herself very satisfying and tried to hoard his attention from the others.

"What were you thinking?" The butler reprimanded them, "I leave to prepare dinner for five minutes and I come back to this. You've demolished half of the Trancy manor! I never would've guessed anyone could cause nearly as much damage as the servants of the Phantomhive manor… Clearly you have proven me wrong." He gave them a dark scowl. It didn't affect Saki in a negative way at all…

Only two of the girls flinched at the butlers harsh words. Mitsuki couldn't care less. She was busy on the floor, making scratches in the wood.

He finished telling them off, and released the four. The butler knew to keep an eye on them, now. The girls cautiously spent the rest of the afternoon performing their regular routine which consisted of customarily them messing around, doing nothing prolific whatsoever.

After a few hours the sky darkened and grey clouds rolled in. The air became dense and hot as the time passed. Saki always loves this kind of weather, but Mitsuki was never a fan. Whenever it gets like this, she'll hide behind anything she can find. She's completely terrified of storms. Asami always spaced out at these times, and Minami just went about her day as normal. It never really affected her.

Saki was absolutely in love with this weather. She dragged all of the girls outside. Minami went along with it, Asami did too, but Mitsuki would not have it. The she-cat threw a temper tantrum, but Saki put up a good enough fight to finally get her claws out the door.

Minami, Asami and Saki all looked up at the swirling sky as beads of icy water trickled down onto their skin. Saki lie back onto the dying grass and let the solid ground around her to mutate into mud, closing her eyes. Minami sat against the front door, trying not to get wet. Asami sat next to Saki with her arms around her knees, gazing at the gravel washing away with each downpour. Mitsuki was hissing and clawing at a window to get inside.

They all waited outside for hours, getting completely soaked in the freezing rain.

"Hey, Asami." Saki spoke over the rain.

"Yeah?" Asami spoke back just as loud.

"Where did they go?"

"I really don't know…" She hesitated, "I'm worried about them…"

Saki paused, "… Me too…"

They all stayed silent again. None of them said a single word, processing the situation. Maybe thinking of where young lords went, or if they're okay?

The rain got warmer and the mood lightened. Saki and Asami pulled Minami out with them into the mud. They knew to leave Mitsuki suffer alone… They all ran their fingers through the cool tan sludge under their feet and flung it into the air, getting each other entirely filthy with muck on their clothes, in their hair and rubbed into their skin. They were utterly hopeless. The girls fell back into the mud, laughing like idiots, letting the rainwater wash away the mess they made. Saki secretly left the two and hid behind a tree while they began to converse about what a better scythe would be; a dagger or a sword.

Saki scooped up a handful of mud.

"But, what about the weapons weight…? Wouldn't it be harder to be agile if it was a swo-…?" Minami stopped as a wad of mud hit Asami directly in the back of the head. Everything went quiet again. Asami was fuming as she wiped the muck off of her eyes.

"SAKI!" Asami screeched, "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!"

"Why are you so mad?" Saki calmly replied while walking out from behind her cover.

"YOU JUST THREW MUD AT MY FACE!" She shrieked in rage.

"I did tell you I'd get back at you, did I not?" She lied back down next to her two fellow reapers.

Asami looked dumbfounded. She forgot about that, like every other thing she overlooks.

"Fine. Whatever… It's not like I care!" She obviously lied. She gets worked up about these things, but often doesn't hold a grudge because of her short-term memory loss.

"Okay, good." Saki said back with no emotion.

The girls all calmed back down and were nearly asleep in the soft earthy ground until the sound of horses speeding up to the manor woke them up. The two black horses were running. Something's wrong.

Every leap the horses made, gravel and mud flew everywhere. The rain began to pour in sheets and the girls were uneasy. The carriage made a sharp turn at the manor door and came to a hasty halt. The girls looked at the door, unsteadily opening. One leg stepped out. Then another. The door slammed shut.

His head held down and his dark hair covered his face.

"He's-…-" The boy choked, "He's- gone-… I couldn't do- anything-…" The boy said barely loud enough to hear over the rain. He took slow steps forward, not once did he show his face.

"C-Ciel…" Asami approached the boy. He didn't respond.

"What happened…?" Her asking didn't help anything. They all knew what happened. Only one thing could make him hide like this.

"It-It took him." Ciel lifted his head. He shown no expression. Ciel had become good at hiding his true feelings to protect his pride.

Time stopped and the world stopped moving. Asami stepped back. The four reapers were completely stunned and knew there was much they couldn't know for now. They need to leave him alone.

What happened to Alois?

Ciel finished dragging his feet inside, still trying not to show weakness. He want's to give up after letting somebody so close to him slip away so easily. But, Alois would never give up. Even at his lowest low, he didn't give up. So, Ciel can't either.

A/N: Oh god...

I'm sorry...

HE ISN'T DEAD...

or is he...?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I hope you're suffering :D

No, not really. I love you too much.
