Sebastian looked up from the stove where he was cooking breakfast to see Ciel standing in the doorway with a smile.

"What's wrong?" he asked looking down at cooking eggs.

"I feel so lucky" Ciel replied walking into the room.

"Lucky?"

"My family deserted me but I've still got you. I've still got Alois and Claude"

Ciel wrapped her arms around Sebastian and switched off the stove so the eggs wouldn't burn. Sebastian chuckled and hugged his mistress.

"I think I'm getting addicted to your hugs. They're just perfect. Just like you" Ciel commented and Sebastian saw Claude in the doorway.

Claude held his fingers up to his lips and then silently walked away. Sebastian kissed the top of her head and then let her go. Ciel yawned and then switched on the radio. A unfamiliar song began floating around the kitchen and Sebastian made a face. He truly did not enjoy modern music.

"Morning" Alois came trudging into the room with his hair messed up and his nightclothes wrinkled.

"Master, Lady Ciel, you need to hear this" Claude said.

He walked into the kitchen and turned the radio to a news station.

This just in. The dead body of Ms. Angelina Durless was found under a bar counter just this morning. Doctors suspect alcohol poisoning to be the cause of death.

Ciel fell to the floor in shock. Sebastian quickly caught her and then scooped her into his arms.

"Change and then we'll head over to the house" Alois said.

When they reached the house Ciel had plastered on her poker face. She quickly made funeral arrangements with the Undertaker. She had the funeral right that afternoon not bothering to call anyone. The burial was quick and Ciel barely shed a tear. The Undertaker had hugged her and wasn't letting go of her any time soon.

"Sebastian, start the renovations on the mansion. I want to move in as soon as possible" Ciel ordered.

"Yes my lady"

"She might look like him but she's different from him" Grell commented from where he was standing next to the Undertaker.

"Shut up, you red headed bufoon" Claude said and Grell began is usual whining.

"Can someone shut him up?" Ciel asked.

"Everyone is so mean to me!" Grell complained.

"Shut up!" Alois shouted loud enough for birds to fly from a nearby tree.

After the funeral, Ciel moved right into Alois's home. Luke was overjoyed but Ciel felt alone for the first time since her parents died.

School began as it usually did. Ciel ignored her classmates whispers as she usually did until Amber decided to torture Ciel with her scathing remarks.

"Just like her parents. No one wants a freak for a daughter or even a niece. Guess her aunt didn't want her"

"Shut up, Amber!" Alois shouted. He had finally had enough.

"Sticking up for your girlfriend, freak? Misery loves company" Amber said.

"I've had it with your stupid comments. Mind your business. There's no point in listening to you but if you keep on throwing your stupid comments to Ciel, I'll have no choice but to stand up against you"

"Alois, stop" Ciel said tugging on his sleeve.

"Yeah, freak, listen to your girlfriend"

"I'm not stopping. I don't think she realises that her parents work in my business. So I can fire them out just like that and she can say goodbye to her monthly treatment at the salons" Alois smirked when Amber paled.

"That's right sweetheart, you didn't know about who your parents work for. Well now you know and if you utter one more ridiculous comment about Ciel then you can kiss your utterly perfect life goodbye" Alois threatened and Amber tossed her hair over her shoulder to ignore him.

"You didn't have to do that" Ciel said and the bell rang for Dance.

They headed to the Dance class where Sebastian was setting up for a new routine.

"Today we're doing the tango" he announced and some girls looked excited about it.

"Now you must know it takes two to tango and it is a dance that represents passion and love in the highest scale because of it's quick movements and gracefulness. So partner up and we'll begin" Sebastian explained.

Ciel headed over to Sebastian and smiled at him. He winked and then turned to the rest of the class who had already partnered up. Alois looked happy to be paired up with Emily again which Sebastian found rather amusing. Sebastian placed a hand on Ciel's waist and then waited for her to ready herself.

"We'll start with rather simple steps. Take a step forward" Ciel followed Sebastian and then he cued her to step to the right. "A step to the right". Ciel was spun around. "Now hike your leg around mine" Sebastian instructed.

"What?" Ciel asked.

"I promise I won't let you fall" Sebastian replied.

Ciel nodded and then clumsily hiked up her leg. Sebastian held her and then bent the leg that Ciel had wrapped her leg on, making a perfect lean and then threw Ciel up only to wrap his arms around her thighs. Ciel blushed crimson but held up arms and Sebastian lowered her back down on the floor and embraced her in his arms.

There was a round of applause and they parted.

"Mr. M, you want us to do that? What if we get injured?" One girl asked in concern.

"I'm sure the guys won't let you fall, will you?"

The guys shook their heads and many of them were even eager to try the routine out.

"Ciel, you'll demonstrate with me" Sebastian said.

Ciel nodded and everyone got into position. Sebastian walked between everyone correcting their stances and their grip. Finally he took Ciel in his arms and began demonstrating. The class was fine until it came to the leg hiking bit. Ciel was fairly more confident this time so she did it perfectly. However, a few girls lost their grip and nearly made both themselves and their partners fall.

"Wait, don't be scared, trust in your partner" Sebastian said to Emily and Alois.

Emily nodded and then did the move perfectly. Sebastian clapped and then took up his positioning with Ciel.

"Now guys, balance with your waist and then do the throw. Gently please, so no one gets injured" Sebastian instructed.

Some girls shrieked as they were tossed a bit too high in the air. Ciel blushed again and she was caught by Sebastian. She felt amazing up in the air, like as if no one could hurt her.

"Michael, no feeling her up. I don't care if she's your girlfriend, she's still a woman" Sebastian scolded and Ciel chuckled.

Finally the class had the routine down and Sebastian decided to turn on the music. "Start, five, six, seven, eight" He called out and the entire class danced along to the steps. Ciel nodded her head to the Latin melody. She loved Latin music because it made her feel like dancing and emotions she had never felt before.

"Again!"

She was being held in Sebastian's arms. His strong arms wrapped around her body and he threw her up into the air. She held her head and arms up until Sebastian lowered her to the floor. As she came down she ran her fingers through his silky black hair and gave him a seductive smirk. Sebastian raised a brow but sent a 'come hither' look which made her shiver with pleasure.

"Class dismissed!"

Ciel grabbed her bag and then spotted Alois talking to Emily. If he liked her so much he should have asked her out already. She sighed and then asked Sebastian to walk with her to Music.

"He should just ask her out if he likes her. She clearly likes him if the hickeys she gives him are anything to go by" Ciel was saying as they entered the Music classroom.

"Maybe she just wants a fling and not a relationship" Sebastian suggested.

"I could try hooking them up"

"It's not nice to meddle" Sebastian warned and Ciel groaned.

"Actually, what was that whole routine? It was so different to what we learn in Dance" Ciel asked.

"I saw that many of the female population seem unaware of the effect they bring on the males of the school. I used the class to make them aware of that" Sebastian replied.

"Well it certainly made me feel sexy" Ciel laughed and then saw Sebastian staring at her.

"What?" she asked selfconsious.

"You've never felt sexy before? Wait, you've never had a boyfriend have you?"

"You're kind of nosy for a butler"

"Force of habit. Stop trying to avoid the question"

"No I haven't had a boyfriend or anything. No one wanted to date the freak" Ciel replied and then turned around so she wouldn't face Sebastian.

"Then I'm the first person to have done this?" Sebastian asked.

He turned Ciel around and then kissed her. Ciel's eyes widened and then she kissed him back. Sebastian pulled away and Ciel smiled.

"Yes you're the first" She replied and then the door opened to reveal a few other students.

Ciel smiled and then went to sit down at her seat. Alois came in soon enough and the class began. The day went along and Ciel walked home with Alois. Alois grew suspicious of the silly smile Ciel had put on her face the entire day. She also seemed to giggle which was completely out of character for her.

"Lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I've been, lucky to be coming home someday" Ciel sung under her breath and Alois stared at her in shock.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"I think I like someone" Ciel replied and then slapped a hand over her mouth.

"Who?" Alois asked.

"No saying a thing!" Ciel said and Alois chuckled.

"It's Sebastian, am I right?"

"How did you know?"

"You only hang out with me, Claude and Sebastian. I'm out of the question and so is Claude. Sebastian's the only one" Alois concluded.

"You're really smart" Ciel said gaping at him.

"I'm not a Trancy for nothing" Alois replied and then began running. Ciel laughed and ran after him.

They got home, out of breath. Claude welcomed them home and Luke immediately latched onto Ciel. He had been overjoyed at the fact that Ciel was now living with them.

"Claude guess what? Ciel has a crush on Sebastian. Isn't that hilarious?" Alois laughed and Claude coughed uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Ciel asked concerned and Claude turned to return to the kitchen.

"Claude likes someone. And not just like. He like likes someone. That person doesn't like him back" Luke replied with a sad smile.

"Claude likes someone? Did he give you a name?" Ciel asked and Luke shook his head.

Ciel had a sneaking suspiscion on who Claude liked but Alois seemed clueless. Ciel sighed in frustration but then decided not to meddle. Claude had been annoyed by the fact that Ciel had told Alois about his past life so Ciel didn't want to get on his bad side again.

"Who is it?" Alois asked.

"I'll give you a hint. Who do we know is blond and has blue eyes?"

"Amber!"

Ciel slapped the back of his head in frustration and then walked up the stairs to their room.

"What? What'd you hit me for? Ciel!"
