Ciel gazed out the window has they sped by various buildings. Every bump on the road would jolt him and make his forehead tap against the window (sometimes harshly) as Sebastian drove to school.

He felt his butler glance at him from time to time at each 'thump' that he heard. Ciel didn't care, he was much too occupied at changing his looks. His navy blue hair slowly turned into a shoulder length reddish-brown and his eyes a light brown, narrowing from those wide dark blue ones. He caught a strand of his hair and played with it. He's been making up characters to go to school with and when he changes characters he changes. There was no 'Ciel Phantomhive' to be seen.

About six years ago, Ciel found out that if he didn't change his looks from time to time, people will start recognizing him. Once, he met a girl who was "in love" with him and wouldn't leave him alone. Numerous times had he explained that he didn't like her but she wouldn't give up. He even went as far as getting Sebastian to dress up as a girl and act like his girl friend (payback for the dress he had to wear and really funny but.. uncomfortable to have a sexy teen Sebastian hanging off your arm). Did that slow the obsessed girl down? No. Eventually, they had to fake his death (once again) over a girl of all things.

Six years later and she's 21, seeing him again still in his child form seemed to set her into a panic. She thought she was seeing her "love"'s ghost. She fainted and he had to get Sebastian to clean him from her mind and fill it with false memories of a different boy.

That girl was just creepy.

Ciel looked into the reflection of the window. This character was named Haku Jyuma, an exchange student from Japan. He was absent minded and clumsy but had a flirtatious smile that catches every girls eye. He was the most popular in the school, among girls and boys. (Seems like people here just love foreigners) Though, the real reason he had no enemies was because he was known to lose his temper fast. Some boys nicknamed him, "The Sweet Devil." not that he cared.

'Haku' stretched out and put his hand on the handle as the car suddenly pulled over. They always had to stop four blocks from where the school was so no rumors can be started about a teacher-student relationship, pedophilia and what not. He got out, giving a salute at Sebastian who shook his head and got the book bag out of the back seat and held it out for him. Haku forgot it every morning.

As Sebastian sped off, Haku shrugged his book bag over his shoulder and started his stroll to school. He felt a presence following him and payed no mind to it. It got closer and closer until it was right behind him. Someone clamped a hand on his shoulder firmly with a 'HAH!'.

Haku smiled innocently and spun around. "Ohayo!" He yelled at caught his friend in a head lock, continuing to walk with a hum. The person tripped over his own feet at the awkward position to walk in.

"Ah! You stupid fuck! Let me go, Haku!" He screamed and tried to pull the skinny but strong arm from around his neck, clawing at his hand. Haku just tightened his grip with a smile. "No no no~. Then you'll try to hit me Joker-Kun~." He whined playfully and yanked Joker back up every time he stumbled and fell. After a couple more minutes of yeliing and some punches in the back or side from Joker, the two were walking side by side.

"Hey, wasn't the teach talking to you before I walked up?" Joker asked, arms folded behind his head as he walked. This was the first time that anyone caught them together, Sebastain and 'Haku'.

"Ah, yeah. I forgot my book bag in his classroom. He just gave it back." Haku yawned and fixed the strap on his book bag. Joker hummed and left the situation alone. He wasn't curious, he just was careful around any teacher. Those assholes will give you detention for pretty much anything.

"Oh! And why weren't you in school yesterday, you ass! I almost had to find a new lab partner! You know you always do the work. I didn't know what the hell to do!" Joker whined and put a elbow on Haku's shoulder, which he shrugged off. "Had stuff to do." Was Haku's stiff reply that had him frown in concern. It was every other day that Haku skipped school and it was starting to worry him.

Haku on the other hand was starting to feel his 'original' personality come back all of a sudden. Joker was unknowingly walking into restricted territory.

"Everything OK, man?"

"Yeah."

"No thugs? Abuse? Prostitution?"

Stare.

"What? Anything can be happening to you! God knows that you don't tell me anything in your life! I haven't even seen your parents-"

"Dead."

They both abruptly stopped. Haku because he had a slip of tongue and Joker because he was in shock. "That's exactly what I'm talking about! Why didn't you tell me that?" Joker gave out a frustrated sigh and ran his hand through his hair. His parents were dead too, killed in a bank robbery. His father tried to act all 'macho' and got his head blown off while his mother screamed and sobbed, annoying them so they decided to shut her up too. The bastards were in jail now and he lives with his uncle Baron.

Haku shrugged and kept walking, if not a bit faster. "Drop it." He mumbled with a glare thrown over his shoulder. Joker rolled his eyes and caught up with him, though he was extremely curious, he would wait until Haku opened up more.

That was never going to happen.


This chapter was waayyy overdue guys. Sorry about that.
