Hello! For those of you past Chap 6, SLOWWW DDOOWWN. I need you to reread it because I changed it. I know you may have liked it, but I feel like I made my story move too quickly, and the story would get boring real fast. So please go to that if you have read the version I put out 1st. Thanks! Enjoy this chapter! Yana owns Kuro!

(Please read that ^)

The excited, yet sophisticated pair, strode into the grand ballroom. Lea and Mai proceeded to gush about everyone's outfits.

"Oh that fine lady's dress!" Lea squealed, gesturing to a young lady's royal blue dress.

"That's very pretty, yes it is!" Mai Rin confirmed.

The girls continued to chat, until none other than Bardroy swept Mai onto the dance floor. Mai's face turned a deep scarlet color in response to his action.

Bardroy's triumphant expression quickly turned Mai Rin's embarrassed blush into a large grin. Lea watched as the couple swirled across the floor. She looked around and saw Ciel and Lizzy dancing happily to the jovial tune. Lea was lost in a happy world she had never known before. The music, lights, and happy mood made Lea ecstatic. Out of nowhere, Sebastian appeared in front of her.

"Would you like to join me for a dance?" He asked.

"Of course!" She replied.

Lea was wobbly, but Sebastian steadied her.

"Just let me lead," he told her.

Soon, Lea grew to the dance and became quite graceful.

"Sebastian, you are quite the dancer," she told him.

"If I couldn't preform this simple task, what kind of butler would I be? Though, you seemed to have taken to it very quickly," he observed.

"You are such a good instructor, it is hard to fail!" She replied.

She knew what Sebastian was to her now. He reminded her of a big brother! He was there for her when she needed help or was in danger.

Just then a voice spoke"May I have a dance with the lovely maiden, hehe?"

Sebastian's pleasant smile turned dark very rapidly.

"Of course," his tone of voice like ice.

Lea was hesitantly given to the owner of the voice.

It was the Undertaker!

"Hello dearie!" He greeted.

"Good evening!" She replied, wondering why Sebastian had become gloomy.

"It's been a few days, how might you be doing?" He asked her.

"Quite well!" She turned her attention to the Undertaker. "And you?"

"The same, and so many new deaths recently!" The odd man replied.

"I see, so you have been busy," she responded. "How is your profession doing as a whole?"

They danced for a very long time and discussed many pointless things. When the dance ended, they continued talking intently.

"Can I have another joke?" He asked quietly.

"If you desire so," she replied, sweat dropping.

She whispered one into his ear and-

"BAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed.

Everyone stopped and looked at him.

Ciel had a why-did-I-invite-this-weirdo look. Then everything resumed quickly.

"Hehe, sorry," he blushed under his long bangs.

"Quite alright, you have a wonderful laugh," she smiled.

In the corner of her eye, she caught Mai and Bardroy sneaking off into the moonlit outside, and she giggled.

"What's so funny, dearie?" The Undertaker asked confused.

"A trivial matter," she replied smirking.

"Come now, you can tell me!" He pushed on.

"It's not a large matter, nothing to fret over," she replied, dismissing his question.

He grabbed her by the waist and led her out onto the manor balcony. He dipped her, dancing style.

"I'll kiss you if you don't tell me," he playfully threatened.

"W-ww-wh-a?" was all she could manage, blushing in the dark.

"B-b-but i-it wasn't a big deal!" She squeaked, blushing apple-red.

"But I want to know what makes you laugh like that,"he pouted.

"Me? Laugh?"She asked puzzled.

As he drew closer, Lea could feel her heart pounding, her cheeks flushing, and her eyes fluttering.

"10,9,8...," he whispered.

Lea looked at him like he was mad! Wait. He was.

"...4,3,2," With that Lea's eyes shut tight.

"1..."

Wait...

Nothing happened!

Her eyes opened.

The Undertaker was right at her face, but he wasn't moving.

"What's wrong?" She asked nervously.

"I see," he said putting her back up. "Was it really trivial? Or did you want a kiss?"

"What?"she asked, composing' herself.

"You heard me," he stood with a rare look of seriousness.

"Well...I-um-eh,"she fidgeted in embarrassment.

"I'll have you know I am too old for you," he grinned again. " Oh dear it is late! Good bye, Lea."

He walked off, leaving her blushing on the moonlit balcony.
