Chapter 3: Lover's reunion

I love you guys! You are the best reviewers I have ever had!

I will be updating tomorrow too so YAY!

This chapter however is mostly put in TPOV, but it has a little from Catherine's POV.

Heh, anyways, I don't own Black butler/Kuroshitsuji! Enjoy!

It had been two weeks since the Demetrio Ball. Catherine was sitting in bed with a cold reading a book. Alois and Ciel were arguing as always. Just like Claude and Sebastian, whom had been fighting over Ciel.

It was getting late. Catherine begged Edward to let her go to town everyday, but the same answer came right after. "You must stay in bed while you are ill, My lady." Edward would rant.

Catherine sighed and set her book aside. An idea struck her.

She had only done it once with Edward around, but she knew how. She would sneak out and return before sunset.

Catherine jumped up and quickly dressed in her usual black slacks, a simple coloured button-up, and her maroon blazer. Knee high black, lace-up boots hid finely under the slacks. She pined her hair up to a neat, elegant style. Her long, loose hair was hidden well; as she taught herself to hide it.

Catherine walked to the window and opened it. She tuned her back to it and climbed down the vines; avoiding any windows in case of Edward catching her. After dropping from the vines, she quickly ran to the nearby stable. She mounted her favourite horse, Winter Thorpe, and rode out of the stable.

She knew it was dangerous trying to sneak out in broad day light, but she envied the smell of fresh bread and old sailors tales being told in the market that the other children could experience. As she passed a small path, she realized it was the way to the Phantomhive Mansion. She pulled Winter Thorpe to a stop and looked longingly at the path.

Just for a moment. She told herself. You'll only be there for a moment. No, You may be bothering Ciel.

"Hey!" A voice called. A young boy with a white puffy shirt and tan pants came down the path. His hair was a slight tint of orange and three red pins pulled his hair to the left in the front.

"Um, I was just..." Catherine began.

"Oh, I know. Sebastian said he had saw you down here and asked for you to come in, if you'd like." The boy said.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt. This won't bother the master right?"

"No, of course not. Oh, and I'm Finny."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Cath- Casper Demetrio."

"Yes, I know. You are the one who recently moved to the estate down the road right?" Finny asked beginning to lead Winter Thorpe and Catherine to the mansion.

"Uhuh, I really wanted to go into town today, so I snuck out. Oh, my butler must be so worried now."

"I can take you to town, if you'd like. If I can get permission from the master, that is."

They arrived to the front of the mansion and Catherine dismounted her horse.

"Would you like me to put him in the stable while you are here?" Finny asked petting Winter Thorpe.

"Yes, please." Catherine nodded while gaping at the beautiful mansion.

"Alright, Mey- Rin, escort him inside please!"

"OKAY!" A young maid said rushing to them. Finny wandered off with Winter Thorpe. Catherine smiled brightly at Mey-rin. Mey-rin blushed and led her inside.

Catherine's POV

Oh how I hate times as a male. I make women blush and I make other men think I am too feminine.

I followed Mey-rin inside and was quickly greeted by Sebastian. I blushed at his gentle smile and turned away.

"My lord has requested to see you." Sebastian said and waved to me to follow.

"Sebastian," I spoke softly as we walked through the halls. Alone. "I was wondering about why you took up such a defensive way that night."

"What do you mean?" He asked not bothering to turn to me.

"Well, you did call Alois an 'idiot'."

"He is one."

"But it was at the time that you said it."

"My dear, you must understand, you are no longer my master. I could do anything to you I wanted, and you couldn't stop me. I had every right to do what I did or say what I said that night." He finally turned to me.

"I don't know if I should take offense to that." I muttered. We turned a corner and walked through a door. Ciel was sitting at a desk reading a letter.

"I see you decided to come after all." Ciel said setting the paper down.

"Yes," I said and bowed to him.

"I still have a few questions. You lied and said that you did not complete you contract, but you did, in fact. Why do you still have a soul? Why lie about such a thing?" I went pale. How did he find out?

"I, um- I can't- Edward!" My eyes darted behind him and glared at Edward who was talking with Finny outside. "Darn, he seems to have caught me. I should go..."

"Sebastian, don't let her leave!" Ciel ordered. Sebastian blocked the door.

"Fine, but you will regret knowing." I wavered and stepped up to the front of the desk. I hesitated then pushed up over the desk. I jumped and formed to my 'other form'. I jumped over his head through the windows behind him. I hit the ground forcefully and stared up at the now broken window. Ciel and Sebastian were glaring at me. I was panting.

"My lord!" Edward ran to me as I formed back to my human form.

"I'm fine." I said turning away. Finny was starring. In the distance I heard a rough growl. A demon hound turned a corner and jumped at me. Edward stood in font of me to protect me.

"Plu plu, no!" Finny shouted. The hound stopped and growled. I ran. I was more scared of demon hounds than anything else. Edward tail behind me quickly.

xXx

TPOV

It was later that night. Catherine decided to sit outside for a while.

"Why is it always so hard for me to talk about that?" She asked allowed.

"Perhaps you haven't begun to trust yourself after that day?" a familiar voice said.

"Sebastian?"

"Yes, my lady."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see if you were alright after Pluto came to attack you."

"I'm fine..." She said then let out a long sigh.

"You only sigh when something is wrong."

"I just don't really like being around Edward anymore. That's all." Sebastian put out a hand and pulled her up.

"May we finish that dance that Edward pulled you from?"

"I'd love that." They danced in the courtyard for a moment before stopping.

Sebastian pushed Catherine to a wall. His cold breath brushed against her cheek. Her soft pink slips were parted by him. She pushed slowly into the kiss. Her heart fluttered and danced inside her chest. She knew she was a demon but she loved more than anything else could. Sebastian pulled away slowly and brushed at her ear.

"I must admit that being a demon has it's flaws. I usually don't have strong emotions, but this is far beyond I have ever felt." He said whispering in her ear. She was speechless.

"Please fell free to sneak out to me any time, my la-love." Sebastian smiled and wandered away.

Catherine stepped back inside and slid down the door. He heart could be heard for miles. She enjoyed that feeling though.

I loved this chapter. I have to say I really really did. I can't wait till I get the next one up tomorrow!

I will try my very best to update as many other stories tomorrow as I can, so if I don't then I will get the rest up Saturday.

As always, please R&R and fav&follow! thanks!
