"Chiyo. Chiyo, wake up."

I opened my eyes and saw Sebastian leaning over me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Are you feeling better?" He took the cloth off my forehead and switched it out, "I'm sorry. I should've made sure to ask Tanaka to take care of you."

"I'm fine," I said, "My headache has gotten better and I had my tea date with Grell."

"Really? It wasn't too much?" Sebastian asked. 

"No. I think we reached an understanding, actually," I said, smiling slightly, "How was the competition?"

"Good. We won."

"Of course."

Sebastian grinned and I pulled him down by his shirt collar and kissed his cheek. I noticed that light was no longer coming in through the window. 

"The young master is currently downstairs having dinner with a man who would like an investment from the Funtom company, so I will be needing to go watch over them."

"Where are Soma and Agni?" I asked.

"They will be staying and caring for the townhouse," Sebastian said, "Now, please excuse me, love."

"Wait. I want to come with."

"Are you sure."

I nodded, sat up slowly, and put on the glasses Grell had given me.

"Chiyo, you need those?" Sebastian asked, "Did your injury actually affect you."

"No. Actually, there was something I needed to tell you-."

Sebastian suddenly stood bolt upright and flashed an apologetic look before rushing out of the room. I stood up, relieved that my head didn't spin, and ran after him. I realized I was moving faster than normal. Not as fast as Sebastian, but still fast. I reached the dining room and saw the doors open and men open firing. I jumped up and spun, giving them a swift kick from one side that, to my joyful surprise, succeeded in having a domino effect and clearing the door. I smiled widely and Sebastian seemed very proud. Ciel was smiling slightly. He was probably very happy he had two powerful guardians.

I entered the room but my jaw dropped when I felt shocking pain in my stomach and heard the bang of a gun. Ciel's jaw had dropped and guilt flashed across Sebastian's face. I looked down to see the blood and then noticed a man under the table. I turned around to see the man who had shot me, holding a cloth to his bloody lip. I walked up to Sebastian, holding myself upright, even though it took a lot of effort. I held out a hand. He paused before realizing what I was asking for and handing me one of his knives.

"I may not aim as well as you, but don't worry. I'm not aiming to kill," I said, turning and launching the knife sharply. It landed in the man's stomach. I was pleased. These glasses worked well enough and my eyesight in fact felt sharper. I walked to the other side of Ciel and looked to him.

Sebastian moved and in a flash, the room was empty and clean.

"That's the end of that, Earl!" the man under the table cackled, standing up. He noticed me, Sebastian, and Ciel sitting calmly. I hid my bloody wound behind my clasped hands.

"You were saying something?" Ciel asked.

"What?" the man looked shocked as he took his seat.

I leaned down to Ciel and whispered, "How many companies is it that have tried to kill you now?"

He smirked. 

Sebastian walked to the man and dropped a bullet in his breast pocket.

"I believe this was yours."
