Broken sobs left the (y/n)'s mouth as Hannah brushed out their tattered hair, the reason the neko was so upset was because Alois decided their hair would look better covered with pigs blood. The atmosphere in the room matched the cold harsh weather outside, The loud harsh thunder represented Hannah's anger, yet the heavy rainfall represented the tears and sobs that the tired kitty cat produced.
"would you like me to wash your hair and tail angel?" Hannah asked with a weak smile filled with concern. The neko nodded as dried blood stuck to their forehead, they went to stand up, but the door swung open and crashed into the wall almost cracking the wall, the loud sound made Hannah flinch and made (Y/N)'s fur stand on end. Alois Trancy stood at the door, the neko kept their head down, for any on lookers it would look like (y/n) was showing a sign of submission however the reason the neko had their head down was to hide the scowl that represented their pooling anger.
"Neko" Alois called out to (y/n) in a cold manor. The neko didn't reply. How much longer will they have to put up with that blond, bipolar brat? "Neko!" Alois repeated himself, (Y/N) put on a fake smile and looked up at Alois.
"Yes your highness" It physically pained (Y/n) to smile and hold back hot, angry tears.
"Get ready" Alois said in a cold tone "We're going out" Alois' deadpan expression turned into a warm, innocent smile. That smile only made his face somehow more punchable to The neko and the purple haired maid.
"Yes your highness" The neko tilted their head and gave Alois a closed eyed smile that for some reason made the blondes smile drop. He left without another word, probably to go annoy Claude.
Hannah. Was.Pissed. How dare that brat have the audacity to make her Angel filthy and then proceed to tell them...no DEMAND them to get ready, it was outrageous behaviour, the brat is lucky that he has a decently tasty soul or Hannah would have kicked his ass months ago. why can he not be like his younger brother? He was delicious and polite.
"H-Hannah?" a very flustered and shy voice said, Hannah was so lost in her own angry thoughts she had sub-consciously picked up the neko bridal style and was now standing over an empty bathtub.
"hmm" Hannah snapped out of it "Oh my apologies' angel I was wrapped up in my own little world." Hannah placed the neko on the stool, which was used for maids to sit on when bathing their master and ran the bath. There was a comfortable silence between the two as steam filled the room and the water poured into the tub.
"Would you like me to leave the room (y/n)?" Hannah broke the quiet, (y/n) thought about it for a second, they trusted Hannah the most in Trancy manor, she was so kind and caring, she was honestly an angel which is ironic for a demon, blush could be seen through the blood on (y/n)'s face as the daydreamed about Hannah. Hannah was confused, maybe they didn't hear my question? Eventually she got her answer when (y/n) shook their head and looked up at her with innocent eyes urging for the motherly figure to stay. Hannah blushed at the nekos beautiful eyes, a soft smile found its way on her face. (Y/N) striped quickly and carefully, letting the fabric fall to the ground, double-checking to see if Hannah was looking away, she still had her back turned, which made the neko smile and get into the bathtub, waiting for the maid. The water was warm and comforting like a hug, but the thunder roaring outside was a constant reminder that hugs tend to end as quickly as they start.
As the neko's hair was being washed, they stared at the red tinted water, that reminded them of their favourite red-haired ladies. Grell and Madam Red, (y/n) smiled sadly as they thought about 2 of the many people they missed.
Speaking of which, currently one of the ladies was leaning against the wall in an alleyway drenched in rain, waiting for a certain Blonde Bratty Maniac. "He's already late" Grell thought to herself as she fiddled with her chainsaw, every second for her without (y/n) was agony, but she wouldn't let Alois have the satisfaction of having knowing that. Even though it was agony for Grell she knew she was already dreading what she'd have to do. The other red haired maiden waited impatiently at home, she constantly checked her pocket watch and tapped her heel against the stainless marble floor. she wanted her Dear (y/n) back.
(y/n) was quiet as ever they were slightly wet due to walking towards the carriage in the pouring rain without an umbrella or proper clothes , the only noise they made was a small gasp every time the carriage hit a bump in the road, the blond earl across from them found it amusing to see the neko's ear flicker up and down every time the carriage hit a loose stone or random tree branch causing droplets of water to fling off of them . (Y/n) fidgeted with their hands the whole way there, they picked at the skin on their fingers causing slight bleeding but the neko didn't seem to care they were too preoccupied with whatever was outside the carriage window. Eventually the carriage stopped. (Y/n) had no clue why they felt so nervous it could be the fact that they had no idea where they are or the fact that Alois hadn't said anything the entire carriage ride it was probably because the neko was now walking towards a dark alleyway with Alois. (Y/n) looked around, Claude wasn't anywhere in sight which clearly meant the butler and his master were up to something because Alois wouldn't go anywhere without discount Sebastian. The nekos ears rotated like a radar and their nose twitch trying to sense the demon what they sensed instead made their heart skip a beat and brought a light blush to their face warming their cheeks up.
"Grell?" (y/n) thought, soon the two rounded the corner to see the ruby red reaper. The neko understandably was confused, Why was she here? Did she know Alois? Did she know they'd be here? where's Madam Red? But what confused (y/n) the most was Grell's face, she wasn't smiling like she usually does in fact she was scowling, it scared (y/n), Grell saw the nekos terrified and confused face, but her expression didn't change even though she found her kitty's face heartbreaking "soon I will make it up to (Y/N)" the reaper promised herself in her mind.
"Sutcliff," Alois Greeted the reaper.
"Trancy" Grell replied. (Y/n) was so lost looking at Grell that they weren't paying attention to the conversation , the only thing they knew was that even bitterly scowling Grell looked as pretty as ever, the neko smiled like an idiot almost giving out a sigh of admiration as they daydreamed about Grell. (y/n) was soon dragged back into reality with the feeling of a light yet stern tug of their tail, Alois had tugged on the nekos tail so often that (y/n) didn't even have to check who it was, they just stayed still a listened to the conversation, while still looking for Claude. Grell twitched with anger before going back to the conversation she was having with the Earl.
"As promised I will tell you Sebastian's weakness in exchange for..." Grell hesitated and cringed at the words she was about to say "...your pet" calling (y/n) a pet felt like vomiting acid. She looked at (y/n) who was still Stoic and silent, but you could see the small tint of pain and betrayal in their eyes. The neko hated being called a pet, it dehumanized them which is why the workers at the circus would use it frequently. Grell would have to explain that the only reason Grell was being so cruel was to give the impression that she didn't care about (y/n) so her love for the neko wouldn't be used against her and get her Dear kitten hurt. While Alois monologued about his plans to destroy Sebastian and kidnap Ciel, Grell took a mental note to buy (y/n) some new clothes because the "dress" they were currently wearing looked blood stained, drenched with rain , and it was way too short for the nekos comfort level.
"So" Alois regained Grell's attention "You tell me Sebastian's weakness, and I'll leave here nekoless" The Earl smirked, the reaper smirked back.
"That's what was agreed upon" Grell replied. (y/n) sensed 3 people on top of the buildings that towered over them, one of the people being Claude he was on the right building above Alois, another was the Undertaker who stood on the left building above the neko and there was someone who had the scent of a reaper but (y/n) didn't know who the person was. (y/n) hummed to themselves in acknowledgment of the scent, taking a mental note.
"Sebastian's weakness is...."
