"Hmmmmm" I woke up and my eyes meet the ceiling, then I glance at the clock, it's still 2 o'clock in the morning. I look over at my hand that was shot by one of the men and like always my wound healed quickly, it always does, It confuses me sometimes, but I am glad that if I could heal faster than I won't feel any pain and I can protect others easily.
I twist and turn on my bed, I can't sleep anymore, then a sudden worry fills my head, 'Is the young master well?' Then I get up off my bed and grab my coat, then I went straight for the young master's room. When I got to his room, I slowly open the door and step in, I brought candle with me, so I placed the candle on his nightstand and I look at his sleeping face, he's sleeping face is cute, I think, then I brush his hair away a bit from his face, and I feel glad that he is safe also everyone in the mansion, then he turns his face at me, his face was very visible because of the light of the candle, I smile.
         Then I sat down on the floor beside his bed, then I place an embroidery that I made for him, it has a beautiful blue butterfly picture to it and some black swirling patterns inside one of his drawers. After that I felt sleepy again but before I go to sleep I say "Good night Ciel." Then I fall asleep.

Sebastian's POV;
It's already morning, the sun has risen and It is already time for the young master to wake up, so I prepared his tea and head for his room, when I got to his room, I open the curtains then I realize there is someone else in the room, and she was sleeping soundly beside the young master's bed on the floor, wrapping her legs near her body,
"Uhhhh Sebastian what are you doing just standing there?" The young master asked, he hasn't realize Haruka's present. Then I put my finger to my lips, a sign to keep quite,
"Hey what's the matter with you?" He asked again then I point to Haruka's direction, then he jumps from his bed, shocked at her presence, she did not even wake up, then the young master kneeled down beside her,
"Why is she here?" He asked,
"I do not know young master, last night when I checked on her, she was sleeping in her room, but I guess she must've woke up a few moments after."
"Let her rest for the day."
"Yes my lord. And there something I would like to tell you later, young master." I said as I picked up Haruka. Then I brought her to her room, and lay her on her bed, then I kissed her on her forehead, and left her room 'You were that worried about the young master, Haruka?' I thought as I made my way back to the young master.

Ciel's POV ;
As soon as Sebastian left the room, I went over my drawer to get my eyepatch, but inside I found an embroidery I have never seen before, it has quite a skilled patterns to it, then I realize that it was from Haruka, after all she slept near the nightstand so she could've putted it there, then I lay it on my bed along with my eyepatch, then Sebastian came back, he helped me into my clothes then he saw the embroidery,
"It would seem you received a gift from her, young master." He said teasingly
"Shut up." I can feel my cheeks a little pink,
"So then young master about what I wanted to tell you." Then his face grew serious, I knew it's not something good,
"What is it?" I asked him,
"It is about Haruka, she did something at the night of the dinner meeting."
"And that is?" I asked raising an eyebrow
"She killed some men that was trying to assassinate you last night sent by Mr. Cartwright himself."
"What?! How could you not realize that before she did!" I shouted at him,
"Please forgive me for my less self awareness. Then it would seem that what we did to Mr. Cartwright was right, he planned to assassinated you after all."
"And how is she now, after that?" I asked my voice below a whisper,
"We shall soon see. When she wakes up." Sebastian said a worried look on his face, then I held the embroidery in my palm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is past 2 o'clock and Haruka finally wakes up, she looked at her surroundings and realize that she was back in her room, she thought that Sebastian must've been the one to take her back, then she gets into her clothes, and head outside, then she meets Mey-rin near the grand stairs and she told her that Ciel would like to see her when she wakes up, so she head towards Ciel's study room.

Your's POV;
"Excuse me." I knocked at the door, then the young master ordered me to come in,
"Mey-rin said you wanted to talk with me, young master." I said after I closed the door and he beckons me to sit down,
"Haruka, What did you do last night? Answer me truthfully." He said in a serious tone, almost demanding,
"So you found out...." I said above a whisper, "I overheard Mr. Cartwright talked about the assassination plan, by that moment it was almost 9 o'clock, it was the due time, there wasn't much time so I rush to them, and I manage to defeat them before they moved." I said as I clench my fist on my skirt,
"How are you now?" He asked in a worried voice, then I felt a hand on my shoulders an I see Sebastian,
"Please tell us, Haruka." He also had a worried expression, then I can no longer hold my tears and they started to roll down endlessly, then Sebastian held me tightly as I sob more than last night. After I calmed down, Sebastian went out to get some more tea, and left the young master and myself alone, then suddenly he came closer and....hugged me, I'm surprised by his sudden behavior,
"Why did you do that, if it was so painful for you?" He asked his voice soared,
"I could not let them hurt you." I said as I hugged him back, "I cannot let anyone get hurt again."
"Did something like this ever happened?" He asked, "Yes, when I was still living with that man, he ordered me to kill his retainer, his name was Yorito Hajime, he was a kind man and he planned to report about his actions against his servants, because of this he wanted him dead, he didn't want to get his hands dirty so he sent one of the maid named Yuriko, since she refused and threatened me that he will hurt Yuriko if I don't kill him. But Yorito realize his master's plan and he accepted his death. I killed him, I killed him." I cried and buried my face to his chest and he stroke my head, then I wiped my tears,
"But before he died he made me promise to protect the ones I love, and I kept that promise by protecting you." I gave him a kind smile,
"I see, then that makes me someone you cared for?" He asked a bit shyly, "Yes, everyone in this mansion including you young master, I cared for you all." I said as I looked at him, "Please don't laugh when I say this young master but, I think of you as a-a li-little b-brother." I said as I put my fingers together and my face blushed,
"O-oh I-I see." Then he clears his throat, "Well I also d-did think of you like a-a b-big sister." His face flush even red,
"I-I see." There is an awkward silence between us and he was the the one who broke it first,
"T-then feel free to c-call me 'C-Ciel'." He said as he looked away, then I giggle
"All right, Ciel."  Then his face becomes redder, then he look at me, a kind smile on his face, 'now this smile is the real one.' I thought, then Sebastian comes inside with some tea,
"What did the two of you talked about?" Sebastian asked teasingly as our face grew red,
"Y-you were listening?" I asked,
"I have no idea what are you talking about." He said with his close-eyes smile, 'he heard us, he definitely heard us'
"Don't be snide you idiot." Ciel said with an annoyed look,
"And also young master, Lady Elizabeth called, she said she will be arriving soon." Then Ciel almost choked on his tea,
"What?! When?!" He asked,
"Five minutes ago." Sebastian said,
"Um who is this Lady Elizabeth?" I asked tilting my head,
"Oh you didn't know, she is the young master's fiancée." Sebastian answered
