Silent But Deadly [Black Butler] (Under Editing)

Chapt. 47 ~ Be On Guard

That night, Miko and I left the circus without informing Ciel or Sebastian. Miko rushed us home and I couldn't shake the feeling of her intensity rising. She hasn't let go of my arm since we made our departure from the circus. When we get back to the house, Miko finally releases my arm while pulling out a tag with Japanese handwriting labeled on it from her sleeve before it turns into a bright purple flame.

Everything inside and around the house, just outside our gated small compound, glowed momentarily before the light died down. "That should do it." Miko sighed while clapping her hands together. I look at her confused, and before I could ask the question she says, "That was a protection seal that I placed around the house and outside the compound from at least a 2-mile radius." 

"Why would you do that?" 

"You should know why." She fully turns to me with a look of...anger. "You were attacked, which means they've been following us somehow. Look at your neck." I blink and slowly bring my hand up to the right side of my neck only to feel a slight sting, causing me to jerk my head a little. He left a scratch on me probably from his nails. 

"I don't think you had to put a protection seal around the house and compound. I killed him."

"Yet you were almost at the brink of losing control. I could almost sense it, and it was a good thing I was nearby. You were probably thinking of a song to sing to be ready for your next attack, am I right?" 

"....Stop reading me." I slowly blink before giving out a low sigh. 

"We'll meet with the boy and the demon bright and early tomorrow before they are able to run off anywhere so we can discuss what we have found out during our little nightly search." Miko tells me the plans for the morning, and I nod in agreement. "We should get some sleep. It's been a long night. I'm going to bed. You can do whatever you like but stay within the compound. Understand?" She says this while walking past me before stopping near the sliding doorway that leads to her bedroom to look at me. 

For some odd reason my head slowly turns to the sealed window, and I begin to stare into the forest just beyond the compound. Nothing is out there...but I can sense something dangerous just beyond that point. "Right..." I finally answer while turning my attention back towards her. 

"Good night, Mute." 

"Goodnight." 

~Early Morning~ 

I teleported Miko and I to where Ciel and Sebastian were, which was at the mansion. They were dressed and ready to leave. Miko and I appeared in the entrance hall right in from of Ciel and Sebastian all while startling the boy and surprising the demon. "Mute!? Miko!?" 

"An early good morning to you, Ciel Phantomhive." Miko crosses her arms with a smirk planted on her face. Since when did she become formal with the boy? "We were hoping to catch you before you made your departure, and it looks like we made it just in time." 

"Where did the two of you go last night?"
