"What is this?" Alois wondered, approaching the three symmetrical triplets lines up in front of the stairway. "You three are always whispering. And I don't like it. From now on, you should all speak up!"

Later

"It's too bad Haruka isn't here," Thompson said.

"Yeah," Timber agreed.

"It would be nice to talk to her while we're allowed," Canterbury nodded. "You know, I've been thinking about leaving the master lately."

"And leave Miss Hannah?" Thompson questioned.

"I don't know," Canterbury mumbled. "Forget I said anything."

The other two stopped what they were doing. Being the closest brothers of all, they never kept anything from each other, nor hid their thoughts. Why was Can acting so weird?

"I've been kind of thinking about it too," Timber said. "And live with Haruka for a while. She'll have to leave soon, and it's not particularly safe for her to go on her own."

"I guess you're right," Thompson agreed. "I've been wanting to leave ever since we got here, but I just didn't find a good reason to leave until now."

"We'll tell Miss Hannah tonight, then," Timber concluded.

"How interesting."

The three were unaware of being watched through a crystal ball. Akita growled at the image. Across the room, her handmaiden flinched.

"L-lady Akita?"

"With all this power," the demon woman growled. "It would be easy to devour all of them in my demon form. After consuming all their power, not even Undertaker can stand against me. All I need is a simple sacrifice."

She turned to her handmaiden and licked her lips, reaching out and crushing the girl's neck. Her jaw unhinged like that of a snake in order to shove the entire body and soul of her sacrifice. She smirked and her body contorted in an ugly shape. Her skin turned black and her limbs stretched and bent. She took the form of an ugly, scraggily wolf demon.

Sorrowful Wolf

"I have to leave you," Haru told Ciel. They stood in front of the manor as the sky darkened to a bloody crimson. "Akita has become a powerful demon. I will go and fight her. Even if I am to be devoured with all the other innocent souls, she will be defeated. I will die doing what I have always done; killing only the dangerous and making the world safe."

"Haru," Ciel cautioned. "I understand that you're a lone wolf, but Sebastian can help you."

"If only he comes, it will feel incomplete," she glared at him. "My soul is reserved for someone else."

"Oh, I see," Sebastian smiled. "You would be satisfied if you got to die valiantly around everyone you love, including the Trancy household's servants."

"What?!" Ciel demanded. "Really, Haru?"

Claude was in the study, working, when the window was suddenly kicked in and a familiar demon intruded. He frowned.

"What do you want?"

"Sorry to bother you,' Sebastian said. "But there is a war going on and our monotonic princess will not fight without her entire army."

"That little brat is going to fight on her own?" Claude demanded, slight worry lacing his voice. Although the wolf being annoyed the heck out of him, he had a soft spot for her deep down.

"What? But she'll die," Hannah interjected, suddenly appearing in the room along with the other three servants.

"She's aware," Ciel said. "Now come on; we don't have all day."

"Wait a moment," Alois called, walking noisily into the room. "You think you could all just leave without me? I'm going to."

Ciel cursed under his breath. Not him. He could deal with a few demons, but this brat who keeps insisting upon having him? All for Haru. It was for Haru….

"You're all idiots," Haru sighed, flicking her tail angrily. "But I like that you're all willing to deal with each other long enough to spend my last battle with me."

"Hmph," the others chorused.

"I'm amazed that you agreed to come," Alois teased Ciel. "With how easily agitated you are, I doubt you will carry on with us for long."

"Shut up!" Ciel growled.

"I swear I'm going to kill you when we get back," Claude muttered.

"Likewise," Sebastian shot back.

"The world's worst rivals finally unite," Haru sighed happily and turned around to lead them down the dark trail. "At last, the power of unity shall prevail and the demon lord shall fall."

"She's a delusional girl, isn't she?" Alois asked.

"To that, I must agree," Ciel sighed.

The demon was in London, looking for the wolf she so desperately wanted to consume on this special full moon night. Small demon spawn made of her own evilness plagued the streets, terrorizing the people and consuming their souls. All of England was in chaos.

All for Haru…. Why was she so valuable? Was it the divineness of the girl who would defeat only the beings that threatened the balance of the world? Yes… she was very desirable, and whosoever loved her would be willing to how far to save her life?
