"Alois," Claude whispered into Alois' ear the human shifted on the bed and rolled over. Claude snickered at how the other looked. It was like he was a sleepy cat with his pair of blond ears sticking out from his head. "Alois, it's time to get up," the demon said, a bit sterner than before.

Alois' ears twitched, hearing the others words this time but not making any move to make up. Claude smirked, leaning over to tug on one of the boys ears.

"I was so kind to give you a body, and you treat me like this? How unkind of you," Claude whispered and Alois squeaked, his body flying from the bed. Claude looked at the boy, amused. His blue cat eyes glared at him before wonder came over him. He started to examine his body. Soon wonder turned to joy as figured out that he had a body, a real live body.

"You..." Alois looked at the demon excited. "You gave me a body!" he exclaimed and pounced on the demon. Claude was a bit shocked at the others action but smirked when he heard the other start to pur. When Alois heard the sound he stopped.

"What's wrong?" Claude asked, already knowing the answer. Alois sat back, his hands moving to his head. His blue eyes widened as what he felt.

"Y-You... gave me cat ears!?"

"Yes, but only for a distinct reason," Claude replied.

"What reason would I need cat ears!?" Alois growled. Claude chuckled and appeared in front of him.

"There is a certain demon that loves cats. I gave you cat ears so that he won't have the heart to hurt you," the demon smiled, gently petting Alois' head. "I had to do it because we have to go to their house and stay there."

"WHAT!?" Alois screeched, his tail bristling. "T-They hate me! You know that they'll want to kill me no matter what!" Claude sighed and wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, calming him down slightly.

"That's why I gave you those cat ears, Alois~" Claude chuckled. "It makes you too cute to kill." Alois blushed and looked away. "Now... I think I might have some clothes for you to wear."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Claude stepped out of the car, facing a large mansion. He turned to open the back seat door.

"Alois time to get out," Claude said and looked into the car. Alois was plastered onto the seat, his ears flattened against his head and his tail bristled. Claude chuckled before reaching in and pulling out the terrified boy.

"You didn't warn me a-about t-that," Alois stuttered out. Claude chuckled and carried him to the door, opening it with ease before setting the boy down.

"Wait here, I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Claude shut the door behind Alois before walking quickly down a long, windy hallway. He looked around at all of the pictures that hung on the wall. Most of them were of the people that CIel used to know, and others were of self paintings. Claude smirked at why the demon had even cared.

"What are you doing, Claude?" An annoyed voice asked from right behind him. Claude chuckled.

"Why, I am intending to stay here. I believe that I will be of no inconvenience to you and your master."

"I beg to differ. My 'master' will have to make the final judgement, but I believe that you will cause a shit load of problems. You are supposed to be dead, I know you are." Claude chuckled again.

"I takes more than that to kill me," the spider demon answered. Sebastian didn't seem too happy about the reply, but shrugged it off.

"Well, follow me. Ciel will not be very pleased to see you..." Sebastian grumbled and walked off in the direction Claude had been heading before he had stopped. The spider demon looked back, seeing a small trace of Alois' form near the doorway, it looked like he was examining his tail thoroughly (Which was exactly what he was doing, plus a little yanking to see if it was actually connected... it was... -.-u).

Claude followed the other demon who seemed to not have noticed Alois' presence yet. That was a good thing at the moment.

It didn't take long for them to reach a large dining room. A man sat at the end of a long table. Claude was confused, expecting to see the short twerp.

"I thought you said Ciel, not this old person." The man at the end of the table stood up angrily.

"I am Ciel, you dumb ass," the man claiming to be Ciel hissed. Sebastian sighed and shoved Claude forward.

"He wishes to ask you something, young master"

"And why the hell do I care?" CIel asked.

"Because you are talking to a demon who was supposed to be killed," Claude answered, a smirk heavy on his lips.

"Yeah right. Give me a real reason," Ciel answered coldly. Claude opened his mouth to say something but a loud scream stopped him. Ciel's face changed from angry to 'what the hell' and Sebastian was just confused. Claude turned his head as soft fast paced footsteps neared the room.

"Claude...?" Sebastian asked, his eyes widening.

"Claude!" Alois half screamed as he charged into the room, flinging himself at the spider demon. Ciel stared in horror and shock at the supposed to be dead boy (and his ears, but that comes in latter). Sebastian is in shock, more from the fact that Claude used his love of cats against him than of the fact that Alois was alive.

"I told you to wait by the door," Claude answered sternly, making Alois' ears flatten against his tail. His bristling tail swishing back and forth.

"B-But... there was a scary noise from outside," Alois answered, his voice trembling as small tears appeared in his eyes.

"What is the meaning of this!?" Ciel screamed. Alois' attention quickly narrowed in on the man, his blue cat eyes widening in terror. The small boy quickly buried his face into Claude's suit, trying to hide himself.

"Great, you don't seem to have great hospitality. Scaring a guest, how cruel," Claude smirked as Ciel's face got red with anger.

"Cat..." Sebastian whispered, making Alois turn his head slightly to look at the other demon.

"Shut up! You're the one who showed up uninvited!" Ciel retorted angrily. Sebastian's eyes stared at Alois intently. His red eyes shifting all over the boy.

"Ears... tail..." Alois' ears perked up, listening to what the crow demon was saying. His terror from before vanished, completely forgotten. Sebastian had to fight the urge to attack Claude right then and there for using his weakness against him.

"Well, you're a demon, you should have sensed me when I got here," Claude answered, shifting his whole body to face the angered man. Alois let go of Claude as he moved.

He hated this feline part of him. He was always so damn tired all the time. One of his hand came up to rub his eyes before he yawned, a small 'nya' coming out as he yawned. That is when Sebastian snapped. He quickly walked forward, shocking Alois greatly, and placed a hand on top of the boys head. Alois' ears perked at the sudden action.

"That has nothing to do with this! And anyway, I'm only half!" Ciel retorted stomping up so that he was only inches away from Claude.

Sebastian tuned out the others argument and slowly started to pet the small boys head and scratch behind his ears. Alois let out a small mewl before he started to purr despite his mind telling him not too. Sebastian smiled, his love for cat's taking over as he moved his hand down to scratch under Alois' chin, maig the purr's become louder.

"Your only.. half?" Claude asked, a bit confused but then he froze. His head turned around, seeing what was going on behind him. Irritation ripped through him, but Ciel forced him to focus on the supposed half demon in front of him.

"Of course I'm only half! Something happened and now I'm like this," Ciel grumbled, moving his hands to indicate himself. Then his eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "And Sebastian stop that right now!" Ciel ordered. Sebastian got a look on his face as if he'd just gotten his fingers ripped off. "I said now!" the crow demon nodded and appeared at his master's side.

Alois let out a mew of disapproval before Claude grabbed him and held him up in front of the two.

"Well, I would like to stay in this residence because it is too dangerous for him to live in my house," Claude said, pushing Alois forward ever-so-slightly. Ciel looked at the boy with a scrutinizing gaze. Alois' ears flattened against his head and his eyes squeezed shut, expecting for the other to do something to him. Ciel's gaze faltered a bit at the pitiful sight before him.

"Please, young master," Sebastian mumbled and Ciel glared at him, looking back at the boy.

"Fine. But you two had better not cause trouble for me."
