"Underground~
Underground~
Welcome to the Underground
You know that we run this town
Welcome to the Underground~"


Mute sang as she gazed at the full moon. Her eyes were half open as she sighed to herself before turning her gaze to the moon again. "Another night of no sleep I take it?" Miko walked over with her arms folded. Her fox ears and tail were exposed since it was the middle of the night, and they were in the comfort of their own home.


Mute shook her head, answering Miko's question. "What are you doing up?" She asked.


"I couldn't sleep either for some reason. But losing one night of sleep isn't going to hurt...is the least I can say for myself." Miko smirked as she glanced at Mute with the corner of her eye. Mute could only roll her eyes in response. "Remind me again why you decided to stay? I thought we would be settled in elsewhere by now. The city didn't burn down as much as we thought it would." Miko shrugged her shoulders.


"You agreed to stay with me." Said Mute.


"Because somebody needs to keep you in check." Miko poked Mute's temple while sticking her tongue out. "So? What's next?"


"Hmmm..." Mute turned her gaze back at the sky before shrugging her shoulders. 


"Well, let me know once you come up with something. After all, something is bound to happen with your curiosity...or by fate." Miko smirked before turning in for the night. Mute watched her friend walk off before turning back at the night sky. 


"You're listening now cause there's blood in the water
We'll show you around, but don't mess with the monsters..." 


She began to sing again. It was going to be a long night since Mute wasn't planning on sleeping. 'What is there to do?' She thought before sighing to herself. There were many things she could do. Roam around, cause chaos, sing, dance, or mess with the humans who could be out and about. 


It had been a long while since her last adventure. But she never thought back to it. Those moments and events died shortly. After all, Mute wanted to forget...so many things. She never wondered what ever happened to the human boy, Ciel, and the demon, Sebastian. She didn't stop to think about Undertaker and when she was going to see him again. Nor did she think about the other people she had met. 


Although it felt short, what reason was there for her to keep such memories?


Mute yawned out of boredom and continued to look at the starry sky with the moon accompanying them. There were many things she could be doing, but her spirit wasn't into it. The night was awfully silent and so were her thoughts... Until,


"Hmm?" She glanced to her right, looking into an empty dark space. 


The sensation felt cold, even though the temperature was just fine. Deep down she felt something else. Not the aura she felt when first encountering Sebastian. There was a mixture of bitterness in between. It sparked her interest. 


Mute looked back at where Miko had walked off to before disappearing into the night. She followed the aura without a problem because it was clear as day to her. Mute found herself in front of another mansion. She didn't realize that this one was further out from where she was staying. It was further out from the city.
