Chapter 8

Ciel gaped at his now sparkly manor and all the ribbons streaming from the ceiling.

"Oh dear, Lady Elizabeth must be here," Sebastian said as he blinked at the decorations.

"My manor," Ciel said dejectedly.

"Erm, Sebastian, who is Lady Elizabeth?" Harry asked with a tired voice. It was almost Christmas, and he still had to find a suitable present for both his cub and his mate. Not to mention his sister.

"Ah, you haven't met her yet, surprisingly. Normally she would have been here long before now," Sebastian mused. "She's a bit of a whirlwind," he added.

"Ciel!" a voice cried as something pink with blonde hair ran into view.

Harry let out a hiss and accidentally shifted into his Animagus form, causing Ciel to sneeze and look at him shock.

Sebastian quickly scooped Harry up and set him on his left shoulder.

Harry watched with amusement as Lady Elizabeth spun his cub around in a circle. He slowly remembered her from his own days as Ciel Phantomhive.

"Oh, you have a new kitten. Can I hold him?" Lady Elizabeth squealed. "He is such an adorable thing," she clasped her white-gloved hands together as she leaned up to stare at the kitten.

Harry blinked at that. He let out a hiss and hopped onto Ciel's head before hopping down to the floor and scampering off.

"Come back Mr. Kitty," Lady Elizabeth yelled as she took off after him.

"Young Master?" Sebastian inquired, desperately wanting to save his mate from the psycho-lady.

"Go save him, and get him to shift back," Ciel said with a sigh as Bard came running in dressed as a rabbit, with Finny dressed as a cat and Mey-rin dressed as a dog. "This should be entertaining," he grumbled as he turned to his other servants with a sigh.

Harry had managed to escape Lady Elizabeth and was now currently lying down on his bed while he summoned his sister to his side.

"Yes my dear brother?" Lorabelle asked as she sat beside him, noticing his heaving stomach as he panted silently.

"Do you have any idea as to what I can get my mate and cub for Christmas?" Harry asked.

"Hm," Lorabelle frowned as she thought about them. "How about we make animals out of clay?" she suggested.

"And animate them?" Harry asked as he sat up quickly and then groaned as he laid back down.

"Yes, I think that will do nicely. Sebastian a cat and Ciel a dog?" she asked her brother as she laid a hand on his bulging stomach and felt a solid kick to her hand. "Ow, and to think you are taking the brunt of all those kicks," Lorabelle giggled as she shook out her hand.

"So how are you and Undertaker doing?" Harry questioned then.

"Oh we are doing fine. I think we decided on getting Ciel another cane personally fitted with a shrunken skull head," Lorabelle smiled.

"Just don't tell him that bit," Harry said with a queasy smile.

"It was that or a necklace with shrunken heads or skulls," Lorabelle laughed at Harry's incredulous face.

Harry flinched again and looked at Lorabelle.

"Don't worry, your child will be born in a couple of months," Lorabelle said as she patted Harry on his hand with a soft smile.

"Here is some clay Madame," one of Lorabelle's Riders materialized in one of the shadows.

Harry and Lorabelle took the air-dry clay and set to work on creating a dog and a cat figurine before Harry decided to make some of the mythical animals he missed.

Harry trotted down the steps with Lorabelle at his side when he saw his mate wearing a pink bonnet, and he couldn't but snicker as he remembered that bonnet from before. If he remembered correctly, that bonnet was right before the Jack the Ripper case.

"Oh! Is this your new tutor Ciel? Who are you miss?" Lady Elizabeth pounced on the two siblings.

"I am Harry Potter-Black, and yes, I am your fiancé's tutor. This is my sister, Lorabelle," Harry introduced with a tired smile.

Lady Elizabeth frowned at the two siblings as they joined Sebastian and Ciel. "I'm not entirely sure how to make you two cuter," she said with a whine.

"I'm sure you will come up with something, my lady," Harry said with a bow and flinched involuntarily.

Sebastian turned his gaze onto his mate

Harry groaned inwardly as he tried to teach his cub how to dance, but they were both prettily hopeless and Lorabelle, the bitch, had gotten popcorn and was snickering at them. His mind all of sudden went off on a tangent as he got another craving for sardines and popcorn. He grimaced at that one before glaring at his sister.

"Yes Harry?" Lorabelle asked, unaware that she had created another craving.

"Sardines. Now." Harry growled at her.

"Sardines?" Ciel and Sebastian questioned simultaneously.

"Ick, alright," Lorabelle said as she set her popcorn aside and left.

Harry quickly swooped down on the popcorn and hid it while standing in the spot where Lorabelle had left him when she came back and passed him the disgusting can of fish. He happily opened it and went to the Earl's desk where he had hidden the popcorn while his sister stared dumbfounded at the empty seat.

"Where'd my popcorn go?" she asked sadly, turning to look at Sebastian.

"Um," Sebastian blinked as hadn't actually seen where her popcorn went other than the fact that it was there one moment and not the next.

Ciel watched as his other demon happily popped popcorn into his mouth followed by strange looking fish.

Lorabelle followed her 'nephew's' gaze and gasped. "How could you?" she accused her brother.

"I could very well. Besides it is your own fault. I started craving for sardines and popcorn, and besides, there was no other popcorn popped laying around," Harry purred.

"I could have popped you another bag," Lorabelle grumbled.

Harry suddenly slammed his hands on the desk and stood, watching his sister with curiously bright eyes. "Cotton candy," he said.

Here the butler and his cub looked at one another again, wondering if they should ask what that is too.

"Oh alright, shall I get your cub some too?" Lorabelle said with a groan.

"Yes," Harry said with a happy purr as he sat down again.

Harry laid in bed with Sebastian who was gaining some sleep when he sensed another creature approaching that wasn't Pluto or one of those fallen angels. He sat up and let out a soft growl.

Sebastian opened his eyes to see his mate tense and highly upset. "Something wrong?" he muttered tiredly.

"Demon," Harry growled and tried sitting up some more.

"Where?" Sebastian instantly perked up, sleep forgotten.

"Roaming the grounds. A Spider demon? I think. Contracted by the scent of it, and his contract is here as well. A powerful demoness is here as well with three underlings, but she is acting as a submissive to the contracted one, curious," Harry said before growling sharply.

Sebastian was disturbed by the news. "How would you know all that? Even my demon senses aren't that good."

Harry looked sheepishly at him. "I might have cheated a bit. Elt demons are the beings of Life, so anything that breathes responds willingly. There is also a small hoard of non-poisonous snakes watching them, and I can also speak Parseltongue," Harry said with shy smile.

"Ah snake language, which means you can see through their eyes as well," Sebastian shook his head slightly.

"Oh hell no," Harry was suddenly trying to get to his feet.

"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked, on his feet faster than his mate was.

"That contracted one must have sensed Ciel," Harry succeeded to his feet and casted the Glamour over him as he tottered out of the hall.

Both demons shot into Ciel's room, and Harry was already picking up his sleepy cub.

"Hm?" Ciel rubbed his eyes and then looked at Harry's angry and terrified expression.

"Get him into our room, now," Sebastian hissed at his mate.

Harry nodded and quickly fled the room.

Ciel was confused as to what was going on, but he was quite comfortable in Harry's arms and was content to stay that way.

Harry waited several minutes before his mate returned, looking somewhat tired. "They're still here," he growled softly.

"Don't worry, I knocked some sense into that contracted one. The demoness and her subordinates do not want to quarrel with me, and apparently their master is extremely ill and only wants a place for him to get out of the cold. I sensed it myself," Sebastian added the last part, knowing that his mate didn't want the contracted one anywhere near their cub or himself for that matter.

"We just can't leave someone to freeze to death," Ciel said with a tired yawn. "If it makes you feel any better dad, then you can tell the contracted one isn't allowed in but the others are," Ciel mumbled as he clung to Harry.

Harry and Sebastian exchanged a glance, and he nodded his consent to Ciel's plan while Sebastian nodded to letting Ciel sleep with them since he knew it would calm Harry's nerves and make him feel safer knowing that he could protect their cub if the situation should arise where he was in danger.

Harry watched as his mate walked away before settling under the covers with Ciel before dropping the Glamour. He waited for his mate to rejoin him, and he smiled at said mate the moment he walked in a few moments later.

Ciel woke up and wondered where he was at, plus he had never been in any of the more unused rooms to know what this one was though it was plain and nothing fancy. He also didn't recall two warm bodies on either side of him. He looked to his right and found Harry sleeping so peacefully while on his left was Sebastian who was probably in a state where he would wake up if he had to. Ciel was actually quite surprised that he was even in this position with these two demons.

"I can see you are awake," Sebastian said in his usual smooth voice except laced with sleep.

"Where am I?" Ciel asked as he shifted to sit up, but he found that he was being held down.

"You are in our room in the servant quarters," Sebastian answered calmly.

"What? Why?" Ciel asked, struggling against whoever's hold.

"Don't. Move," a sleepy growl came from Ciel's right, and Ciel instantly froze. The last thing he wanted to deal with was an upset, half-asleep Harry.

"Umf," Ciel grunted as Harry shifted to accommodate the new position that Ciel manage to get in to.

"A few demons came over last night, and one of them took a very unhealthy interest in you though it is contracted to another. Harry nearly went ballistic since that thing was trying to get in through your window. His companion had more of an interest in his contract. The contract is currently asleep one of the guest bedrooms since you told us that they could come in. However, Harry refused to let the contracted demon in until you were awake, but you had to sleep with us," Sebastian said as he sat up.

"I don't recall saying anything," Ciel grumbled. "But why did I have to sleep with you two?" he questioned.

"Scent," came a grumbled reply from the other demon.

"Scent?" Ciel questioned the other demon while looking at him.

"You won't get many answers out of him until he wakes up and is fighting to sit up," Sebastian said.

Ciel then turned his gaze onto Sebastian.

Sebastian sighed as he glared half-heartedly at his mate. "Basically what Harry is trying to imply is that our scent will be on you, and your scent will be on us. It'll deter the contracted demon's interest since he would have to deal with two demons," Sebastian explained.

Harry suddenly let out a groan. "Too early to be kicking," he grumbled as he shifted positions with great difficulty and brought Ciel closer to him.

"Harry, I'm pretty sure Ciel would like to sit up now," Sebastian said calmly.

Harry's response was to pull Ciel tighter to him.

Ciel couldn't exactly breathe. "Dad, please, I promise I won't leave this room without you or Sebastian," he pleaded.

Harry's eye popped open and studied his cub before relinquishing his hold, but he watched him a few minutes before closing that one eye again and started purring.

Ciel quickly sat up and moved over to Sebastian. "Crazy demon," Ciel muttered.

"Protective demon. This is the first time you've been out of that hold since you had to join us last night," Sebastian commented.

"No wonder I'm so stiff," Ciel then looked at his night shirt. "I suppose I need to get dressed," he grumbled.

"Indeed if you are to meet your guests," Sebastian said as he stood up.

Harry's eye quickly opened and he watched as his mate left, but his cub stayed. He blinked for a few minutes as his eyes focused from their sleepy haze, and he just moved to all fours and glomped Ciel who let out a shriek at suddenly being in a hug.

"I thought you were still asleep," Ciel managed to say as he felt Harry clinging to him.

"Mm," was Harry's reply as he rested his head on Ciel's.

Sebastian entered at that moment and could barely keep a straight face on. "Harry, would you like to dress him?" he asked his mate as he laid the clothes on the bed.

"I'm not a doll," Ciel immediately protested causing Sebastian to chuckle and Harry to laugh. "What? Oh," Ciel grumbled. "Right," he then watched as Harry snagged the clothes.

Lorabelle stared at the contract of a Spider demon that was still outside, looking stoic as ever. She just didn't get a good vibe off of that particular demon. However, the demoness in front of her was a little strange with her silver hair and very blue eyes. Powerful, Lorabelle hummed as she got her reading. Her attention then turned to her three male underlings, which looked exactly the same. Maroon hair and maroon colored eyes. "Well, the Earl should be down soon with his butler and his tutor," Lorabelle told them.

The contract, a blonde boy with light blue eyes, suddenly looked at her. "Is he nice?"

"Depends," Lorabelle answered with a shrug. She then looked around the dining area then with a sigh, she pulled out the clay and started sculpting again. Her brother was certainly having a time with unwanted supernatural creatures.

"What's that?" the boy had gotten up and was now breathing over her shoulder, looking at it.

"A Christmas present that I'm helping my brother with," Lorabelle said, her eyes dark with annoyance about someone invading her personal bubble.

"Madame, a few guests are here to see you," Tobias said.

"Oh? Whom?" Lorabelle noticed the dark look in Tobias' eyes and knew she wasn't going to like his answer.

"Lucifer, M and Rose," he answered.

Lorabelle stood with a hiss, surprising the boy. "Has my brother sense him?" she questioned.

"I wouldn't know," Tobias answered and instinctively cringed.

"Do I know what?" Harry barked as he entered with a blushing Ciel and Sebastian as calm as ever.

"Lucifer, M and Rose are here," Lorabelle said with a darkening growl.

Sebastian's eyes immediately narrowed.

"What does he want?" Harry questioned.

"Not sure, Tobias just told me," Lorabelle said.

"Sebastian, Lorabelle, can you handle those three?" Ciel asked.

"My brother can handle them just fine by himself, so I think we can if we combine our powers. Plus they are missing a vital piece," Lorabelle said with a shrug.

"Show them in then," Ciel said with a wave of his hand.

"What about Claude? Your butler refused to invite him," the blonde boy immediately spoke up.

"For my protection, invite him in as well," Ciel told Tobias who bowed before scurrying away.

A few minutes later, a black-haired man with golden eyes appeared at the blonde boy's side. His expression was filled with controlled rage, and he looked like a cross between Sebastian and William.

Ciel was surprised when a handsome, well-groomed man with blonde hair and black eyes walked in with the two that they had met on their way to Houndsworth.

"Madame Death, I wish to know what it is that you did to me and my subordinates," the blonde man growled.

"Good to see you too, Lucifer," Lorabelle chirped coldly. "What I did is between me, my Riders and whoever else I decide to tell. I will not tell you if you cannot figure it out," she said.

"Um, who are you?" the blonde boy asked the man.

"That is Lucifer also known as the Dark Prince or the Devil. Truthfully, he is just a pain in the ass," Lorabelle said firmly. "The one with gray hair is Mephistopheles or M and the one with black hair is Black-, er, Rose, ah, thorn," Lorabelle said with a smile.

"It's Blackthorn, not Rose that's a woman's name, and I'm a man damnnit," Blackthorn snarled.

"Do keep your mutt on leash while in my manor or on its grounds," Ciel said coldly.

"If my brother was here, he could turn you into a woman," Lorabelle said with a purr.

"Ah yes, I was wondering if we could meet him sometime soon," Lucifer said, giving Blackthorn a disapproving look.

"Up to him," Lorabelle said with a shrug.

M looked at those gathered, and his eyes landed on the man that they had attack. "Sire," he said and tapped him on the shoulder.

"What?" Lucifer snapped at him. His black eyes followed M's gaze and landed on the man behind the boy next to the demon with blood-colored eyes. "You," he snarled.

It was then that the other occupants of the room saw the four scratch marks on the left side of Lucifer's face that ran from just below his eye to the bottom of his jaw.

"Hello again," Harry said with false sweetness.

"Something the matter Lucifer?" Lorabelle said with false concern.

"That is the man that attacked me," Lucifer snarled.

"If I remember correctly, you wanted to eat me, so that is actually backwards," Harry said pointedly. "Mm, where is some pizza when you need it and those delicious Treacle tarts… oh and Buckeyes," Harry said with a purr.

"You have officially lost it," Lucifer told him flatly.

"Oi, that's an insult," Harry snapped at him.

"It is?" the blonde boy asked, confused.

"Stand away from them Lorabelle," Lucifer said as he summoned a dark sword with smoke licking at his hands.

"Lorabelle," Harry said, approaching her.

Sebastian watched his mate worriedly and then glanced down at his cub.

"I'll kill that blue-haired boy first," Lucifer said.

"Oh hell no," Harry suddenly spat and the air crackled around him.

"Oh now you've done it Lucifer," Lorabelle chided.

"Lorabelle," Harry said.

"Working on it," Lorabelle said as started pulling out various knives, scissors, gardening tools, forks, spoons, pins and then strange objects. Once those were out she unbuttoned her dress and let the material drop, revealing a tight black tank top that stopped several inches above her navel and black short shorts.

Lucifer and the others except Harry stared at her legs, which were covered in sheaths of various sizes.

"Now we have a katana," Lorabelle said as she slipped the blade out of its sheath silently. She named different other kinds of swords, and Lucifer's face was getting paler if that was even possible.

Ciel knew his 'aunt' was strange, but he had no idea that every inch of her skin that could be seen in her current outfit was covered in weapons of varying degrees. "No wonder why she is known as Death," he muttered.

Lorabelle smirked at him. "I suppose that would be true, see anything you like?" she asked her brother.

"Why are you even helping that powerful demon?" Lucifer snarled at her.

"Because that powerful demon who you want to attack and his cub you want to kill, is my brother," Lorabelle chirped with her signature Cheshire grin.

"Oh shit," Lucifer said as he turned back to Harry.

"None of those look fun enough," Harry whined.

"Well, I don't have much else unless you want to go to grenades," Lorabelle told him as she pointed to the belt with varying objects that covered her navel.

"Blowing stuff up is Bard's job," Harry whined. "How about that set?" Harry suddenly asked.

"Set?" Lorabelle questioned. She studied his expression for several minutes while Ciel tried to avert his eyes from her lithe form that reminded him of a panther. "Ah, that set," Lorabelle said with a snap of her fingers before she reached into her high-heeled boots that went up to mid-calf. "Is it in this one? Yep," she then pulled out a small, thin box, which she opened, revealing a pair of scissors and knives. "Which one?" she questioned her brother.

"That one," Harry said, pointing to a random one.

"Excellent choice," Lorabelle said as she picked up a golden knife and passed it to him.

"Look, I'm sorry about before. I didn't know who you were, and I really desire you as my mate," Lucifer said, staring at Harry.

"I think not. I already have a mate, thank you very much, and I have no intention of leaving him for someone who possesses nothing," Harry snarled, and his magic came crackling back in full force.

The air burned, tables and chairs were levitated, and it crackled like lightning, striking spots on the floor.

"Wow," the blonde boy said in awe until he was suddenly slammed against the wall, leaving a trail of blood as he slid down.

The woman and her three underlings ran towards him while the contracted demon ran towards Harry with the intent to kill.

Lorabelle materialized in front of him and kicked him hard in the stomach before slamming her elbow into the back of his neck.

Lucifer, M and Blackthorn decided it would be in their best interest to disappear though Lucifer did get a couple of knives in the shoulder before he disappeared. The weapons dropped to the floor with black blood staining their finish.

"Oi! Get back here you cowards," Harry yelled.

Sebastian quickly crossed the room and hugged his mate, causing him to reign in his magic with a powerful snap.

"Oof," Harry grunted as he sagged against his mate. "That was tiring," he grumbled.

Lorabelle picked up her knives and looked at her brother then at the others. "Well, that was fun," she said as she started placing all of the weapons back in their sheaths before slipping her dress back on.

Sebastian then steered his mate back the way they had come to make him rest.

"Oi, I still haven't gotten my pizza or my Treacle tart or my Buckeyes," Harry whined.

"You will get it as soon as I make it and you are laying down," Sebastian said sternly.

"Lorabelle, please watch over Ciel," Harry called almost pleadingly as he was forced out of the room by his mate.

"Most certainly," Lorabelle called back before she looked at the other human in this room. She flicked her hand and the blood instantly cleared, and the blonde boy was coming back to consciousness.

"What happened?" the blonde boy asked as he blinked his eyes open.

"My brother's magic accidentally attacked you. Normally when he is upset like that, don't speak," Lorabelle said simply.

"I'm afraid we don't know your names," the woman said softly.

"Ah, please excuse our rudeness, I'm the Earl, Ciel Phantomhive, over there is my tutor's sister Lorabelle Potter-Black, and my tutor is Harry Potter-Black who is the one that lost his temper. My butler is Sebastian Michaelis, and he is the one that just steered my tutor out," Ciel said as he took his seat at the head with Lorabelle at his left side.

"I'm Alois Trancy," the blonde boy said quickly. "My butler is Claude Faustus who is currently on the floor, and this is my maid Hannah. I don't know my other servants names, but they don't talk much so I really don't care," Alois pointed to them in turn with a shrug.

Lorabelle tapped her chin as she hummed.

"Did he mention any of this to you?" Ciel asked, hoping Lorabelle wouldn't start teasing him.

"As a matter of fact, he did. If I remember correctly, Claude's a bastard and a pedophile," Lorabelle chuckled.

"I don't understand something though," Alois said as he sat next to Ciel across from Lorabelle.

"Oh? What would that be?" Lorabelle asked.

"You mentioned that the Earl here was your brother's cub, but he is obviously human and I can't tell what your brother is," Alois said.

Lorabelle nodded. "I can tell that you have your own Faustian Contract with that Spider demon. Do you know what a cub is?" she asked him.

"Er, a child?" Alois said, confused as to where she was now going.

"Correct. Meaning that Ciel would be Harry's child but not biologically speaking since Harry is a demon and not his actual father. Demons rarely take on human cubs, but sometimes they grow attach, especially if a Faustian Contract was involved. However, Harry did not instigate the contract," Lorabelle said.

"So you mean that your brother stole the butler's next meal?" Alois questioned. "Isn't against your laws?"

"Ha, like they are actually my laws. No, I am Death in human form, and I made those pretty little Grim Reapers running about, but I had nothing to do with the demons and angels running amuck. Alas, no my brother didn't steal the butler's food though it would have been hilarious to watch the two fight," Lorabelle said with a chuckle.

"My tutor and butler are mates," Ciel finally said at Alois' confused look.

"If I may speak, I thought as much since their scent is all over you and yours them," Hannah said softly.

Ciel snorted into his tea, which Tobias had brought for him and the guests.

"Who are you?" Alois quickly pounced on the man, figuratively speaking, excitedly.

Tobias glanced at Madame Death who nodded that he could speak what he wanted without fear of being threatened.

"I am Tobias, Eldest Rider of the Brotherhood," Tobias said calmly.

"You aren't human either, but you are most certainly not a demon," Hannah commented.

Tobias glanced once again at Lorabelle for her consent, which she nodded.

The air grew colder as Tobias became transparent until he was a black-hooded, misty figure with gray scaly hands. "I am a wraith," he rasped before shifting back, and the air grew warmer again.

"I thought such things didn't exist," Alois said with a frown as the wraith moved away.

"We are not native to here. Most of us generally like to cause trouble," Tobias answered simply before disappearing.

"So your butler just accepted you as his cub?" Alois then asked promptly once he realized he still had questions about it.

"Your Highness, it is a general rule between mates that both have to accept a human as their cub and said human must accept them as parent figures. The bond is unbreakable, and the human slowly becomes demon. The demons, however, become quite protective over their cub even if they are still human," Hannah explained so that Ciel wouldn't have to.

"Who asked you?" Alois asked her coldly. "But why wouldn't your butler let my butler in? And what is this rule about demons having to be invited by a member of the household in order to come in?"

"My brother is very protective over Ciel at the moment, more so than he should be, but giving his current condition, it doesn't surprise me much," Lorabelle said, taking a sip of her tea. "Though I was reading his aura waves earlier, and I found that he was quite pissed already along with his mate. Generally Harry is laid back, but I think your butler should a very unhealthy interest in the little lord here," Lorabelle said calmly.

"But Claude wouldn't do that to me! He promised he would always be by my side," Alois immediately said, tears sparking at the corners of his eyes.

"Terribly sorry, but Spider demons are quite crafty when comes to lying and looking for ways out. More so than a Crow demon such as Sebastian. To my knowledge, every Spider demon I have come across hates children, but they generally have the most delectable souls and outrageous dreams that can be met. I have also found that Spider demons will try to pick up more than one contract at a time, but they are very picky eaters," Lorabelle said before taking another sip.

Ciel waited for her to continue.

"Crow demons, however, try to meet one contract at a time while keeping a look out for other tasty souls that they might try to target though that is only if they are out and about and happen to since one. They don't just go hunting while their current master is sleeping, and they are quite fond of kids though they don't always know how to deal with a human one since they aren't humans themselves. Since they are basically carrion birds, they don't quite care what soul they eat but they do prefer ones over another much like a carrion bird would prefer a fresh carcass over a four day old carcass," Lorabelle explained.

"What is your brother since he is a demon?" Alois then asked.

"A rare demon, which most would never have heard of. Very powerful yet gentle, and they don't eat souls. They generally absorb the life essence off of anything living, including demons, that can be taken without killing them or them even noticing. They are protective over their cubs and will fight to death in order to protect them, much like a Crow demon would. Actually, my brother is the only demon under that category," Lorabelle mused.

"What about Hannah?" Alois suddenly asked.

"Hm? Oh her, she happens to be a Weapon demon with the ability to pull any demon weapon from her mouth or conjure it from somewhere, which is why you also have those three. The more underlings a Weapon demon has, the stronger they are. I think the most they can have is about 5 though one rarely stays alive long enough to get that many. Well, now that I think about it 5 is for males 4 is for females since female Weapon demons are rare and don't have the physical strength of a male demon. As far as kids go, it depends on the Weapon demon much like humans if you think about it."

"What does that mean?" Alois asked, getting irritated with the woman across from him.

"Some humans like children and others don't while others still tolerate them. So really, you would have to ask your maid her preference though I would assume that she likes children going by her aura," Lorabelle said.

Alois and Ciel looked at Hannah who nodded.

Christmas came a week later, and the Phantomhive manor was full with guests, the Undertaker, Lorabelle and all of her Riders, Elizabeth and her family along with Paula. Then there was Grell who was getting yelled at by a very pissed off Harry for flirting with Sebastian, and there was William who was currently laughing hysterically at it all with the Undertaker. The Trancy household came over as well along with Prince Soma and Agni and Lau and Ran Mao. Madame Red had also came up, but she would be returning to her hideout once Christmas was over and the New Years.

Ciel was getting a headache from it all, but he managed to keep a forced smile on as his servants entertained the guests.

Opening presents left the drawing room covered in wrapping paper, and it enabled the servants a chance to be able to sit with their masters though Harry still stood because he knew the moment he sat down, he was going to want to lay down and take more weight off of his body. It was also uncomfortable to sit because of his unusually large stomach.

"Here you go dear brother," Lorabelle said as she handed him a small box.

Everyone lifted their heads to watch Harry open the small present.

Harry blinked at the contents and then at Lorabelle. "You have got to be joking," he told her.

"Nope. It is rightfully yours," Lorabelle said while she and the Undertaker started laughing.

"What is it?" Alois asked him.

"Another one of my nightmares," Harry said as he pulled out a silver right with a black onyx stone. "How did you get the stone to turn black?" he asked her.

"It has always been black, but it was just covered with dirt to make it look like any other pebble," Lorabelle said with a grin. "Now don't you dare smash it. If you do, I'll personally go after you," she said with a dangerous smile that promised her threat.

"Yes ma'am," Harry responded as he slipped the dreaded ring over his finger.

Ciel opened his present from Lorabelle and the Undertaker and was surprised to find another cane except this one had a skull head, which caused some of the more squeamish to squeak at the site of it while the others were wary of it. "Uh thanks," he said, flashing a smile at his 'aunt'.

"Glad you like it. Undertaker helped me with it, so it is a gift from both of us," Lorabelle said with a pleased smile.

"Figures," Ciel muttered while the Undertaker laughed.

"At least it isn't one of me coffins," the Undertaker said.

"Too true," Ciel muttered, causing the Undertaker to laugh again.

Everyone eventually filed out to go to their respectable homes except Lorabelle and the Undertaker who was quite happy to sit with his girlfriend.

Ciel wondered if Harry didn't celebrate Christmas or something since he didn't give anyone presents until Harry trotted down the stairs with two wrapped presents. Ciel accepted the one that was wrapped in shiny blue wrapping paper while Sebastian had to accept the one that was wrapped in shiny red wrapping paper. He exchanged a glance with Sebastian who looked mildly amused at the gift.

"Lorabelle helped me with making them, and I also didn't want the others to see what they were until you two saw them," Harry said sheepishly as he cancelled the Glamour. He sat unceremoniously between his sister and the Undertaker, and they readily held him up.

Ciel unwrapped his as did Sebastian, and they opened it at the same time. They stared into the boxes before lifting out the painted figurines that were moving around on the palm of their hands.

"How?" Ciel questioned.

"I used my magic to animate them, and they will only become still around those that don't yet know about magic existing. They really are just figurines made out of clay, so no care necessary though they might like to be brushed," Harry said sheepishly as he watched the various canine breeds and wolves play on the palm of Ciel's hand while various breeds of domestic and wild cats played in Sebastian's.

Harry was immediately engulfed in a hug by his mate and cub who both had set the figurines back in their boxes.

Lorabelle let out a squeak as she was also hugged.

"I can see that the gifts went over real well. Perhaps you should let them all play together later along with the set that Harry made for himself after he was done with the dog and cat sets," the Undertaker said while laughing at Lorabelle's predicament.

"What did you make?" Ciel asked as he sat mostly on Lorabelle so he could hug Harry without injuring him.

"Ah, they are just some of the mythical creatures from home that I've missed. Lorabelle helped me with them as well," Harry said with a soft laugh.

"Bloody Hippogriffs and Unicorns, my hands were sore after making a few of them. Unicorns wouldn't stop stabbing me while the Hippogriffs kept nipping my fingers and scratching my hands though none of them drew any blood but it was still annoying and painful," Lorabelle grumbled at the memory, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

Sorry about skipping around like that. Review as always, and next chapter will be in February so time skip, yay! Then you all finally get to meet Harry's and Sebastian's children. Oh and about Alois being sick, yeah, Sebastian slipped one of Harry's potions into the tea pot before handing it off to Hannah so that would be why he is so chipper.

Sebastian and Ciel watched as Harry put away the food that Sebastian had given him.

"I can't believe that all of his cravings struck at once," Ciel said.

"That is disgusting," Sebastian as he watched his mate eat a pickled pickle peanut butter and jelly sandwich with chocolate drizzled over it.

"Bleh," Ciel responded before he started feeling nauseous as Harry moved on to the chicken dipped in chocolate. "Um, dad, can you tell your cravings to stop being so disgusting?" he asked, gagging.

Harry gave him a sharp look before sighing. "Talk to your sibling about that. Your sibling is the one calling for all this," he said pointedly before reaching for a Buckeye.

"Sebastian, I don't feel well all of a sudden," Ciel said.

"As a matter of fact, neither do I," Sebastian said. "Harry? Ciel and I are going to walk outside on the grounds while you finish eating, okay?"

Harry nodded as he went for a pineapple, chicken, bacon and chocolate pizza slice while also going for a Treacle tart.

Ciel dashed out of the room with Sebastian on his heels, both looking a little green.

Harry looked in the mirror at what Elizabeth had forced him to wear for that evening. Another dress except this time it was in pink and very frilly while Lorabelle wore a matching dress. The two siblings looked at one another.

"This is horrible," Lorabelle said as she fiddled with the ponytail that her hair was in. "I don't even like pink," Lorabelle complained.

"At least you aren't wearing hair extensions and have pink butterflies in your hair," Harry retorted back.

"Indeed, but I do believe that there is something that might make us both feel better," Lorabelle said.

"What?" Harry grumped.

Lorabelle went over to her dress and pulled out a large bottle with silver contents. "Glitter," she said proudly.

"Oh yes, glitter makes everything so much better," Harry said as he trotted over to his sister.

They did each other's make up and added glitter before dumping the glitter on themselves. Apparently Lorabelle kept several bottles of glitter.

Harry chuckled as they headed down to the foyer where Ciel was supposed to dance with Lady Elizabeth. They stood at the top of the stairs just behind Sebastian dressed in his normal outfit with Ciel dressed in a patriotic blue and Lady Elizabeth in a patriotic red. Harry quickly casted an illusionment charm on Ciel's ring so that a repeat of last time wouldn't happen since he didn't want to go ring hunting, and he doubt Sebastian did either.

Lady Elizabeth caught sight of them and squealed. "You both look like fairies," she cried as she gazed up at them with stars in her eyes.

Sebastian and Ciel turned and both choked on air as they gazed up at the two siblings with their hair, dresses and skin sparkling like actual fairies.

"What did you two do?" Ciel finally gasped.

"Glitter!" Lorabelle chirped and clapped her hands, signaling to her Riders that had positioned themselves above the people.

The Riders looked at one another before dumping glitter on them.

"Ack!" Ciel, Sebastian and Bard yelped as they cringed from the sudden attack.

Lady Elizabeth laughed as she spun around while Finny swung Tanaka around.

"Glitter?" Mey-rin questioned.

"I can't believe you two," Ciel snapped at the siblings, expecting Harry to start crying again.

"Now little lord if we have to dress up, so do you. Plus glitter solves everything," Harry said with a laugh, surprising Ciel and Sebastian who both expected him to be crying not laughing.

"Um, I don't think glitter solves everything," Sebastian stated, raising an eyebrow at his mate.

"Glitter fiends," Ciel grumbled. "May I have this dance," he finally asked Lady Elizabeth after the glitter stopped raining down on them.

Lady Elizabeth nodded and just as she took his offered hand, Sebastian surprised them by playing the violin, Harry the flute and Lorabelle started to sing.

"What the hell?" Bard gaped at the trio on the stairs.

"Is there anything that they can't do?" Finny questioned.

"Oh my, they are lovely together," Mey-rin said while blushing.

"Ho, ho, ho," was Tanaka's reply.

Ciel stared at the pink blob before him on the paper cone. "I'm supposed to eat this?" he questioned, watching as Harry took bites out of his and Lorabelle pulled pieces off of hers.

"Yep," Harry chirped, leaning against Ciel's desk while Sebastian decided to take a seat and watch.

Ciel took a hesitant bite and was surprised that the stuff melted in his mouth. "Why does it melt?" he asked them.

"Just the way it is made," Lorabelle said happily, popping another piece into her mouth.

Ciel finished the cotton candy and realized that his hands and mouth were sticky while Lorabelle and Harry had both somehow avoided it. "I suppose I need to wash up now," he muttered.

Harry watched as he walked closer before snagging him in his arms.

"Hey, what gives?" Ciel questioned him, looking up at Harry.

Harry smirked at him before lowering his head. He then licked the side of his mouth.

"Yuck! What the hell is your problem now?" Ciel squirmed to get away from Harry, but he found that for a pregnant demon, his arms were locked like iron around. "Sebastian, HELP!" Ciel looked pleadingly at his butler while Harry licked his face again.

Lorabelle was on the floor cackling where she had just suddenly dropped.

Sebastian was also too busy laughing at Ciel's latest predicament.

"This isn't funny!" Ciel shouted at them and choked when Harry's tongue brushed against his bottom lip before said demon moved to cleaning his fingers. "Ew, let me go," Ciel whined.

"Ah... I should... have... told you... that demons... were a... bit like... mother animals in... regards of... cleaning their... young of... their meal," Sebastian said between gasping for air and laughing.

"I wish you had told me that before hand!" Ciel barked at him.

"Ah, but where would the fun in that be?" Harry questioned in Ciel's ear with a breathy chuckle. "Another reason why demons are warned against. We have animalistic instincts more so than humans who are bit like dogs compared to us wolves or domestic cats to wild cats," Harry then licked Ciel's cheek again.

"I think... I'm going... to... die," Lorabelle said, now gasping for air as she was still laughing and clutching her stomach.

"Not funny," Ciel mumbled, causing Harry to join in with his mirth while hugging his sulking cub as best as he could.
