Yesterday I went to The Trancy Manor. And now I'm already back at the Phantomhive manor. Sebastian has already informed us that they will be back in the afternoon. So the servants and I decided to finish cleaning the house before Ciel and Sebastian gets back.

Also I've decided to tell them about the man I saw in my dream, he could tell us who's my parents murderer or he could be the murderer. Also......
"Does he really love you?"
What Claude asked me yesterday still lingers in my head, 'I've decided I'm going to ask him'

It is almost afternoon, and Ciel and Sebastian should be back by now. I was in the garden looking at the cherry blossom tree, and surprisingly it's in full bloom. The petals are dancing across the wind, and I gaze at the beautiful scene.

Sebastian's POV;
The young master and have made it back to the manor. Bard, Finni, Mey-rin and Tanaka had come to greet us, but there is one person that I do not see.

"Meh-rin where is Haruka?"
"Oh I don't know she was in the kitchen a few moments ago, yes she was!"
"Oh yeah, come to think of it I saw her went to the garden earlier."

"Oh alright then you all can return to your duties now." I clapped my hands and they went straight back to their duties. But when I turned around the young master is nowhere to be seen, Ah he went to the garden first how sly you are, young master.

So the young master and I headed toward the garden, of course he didn't know about the cherry blossom tree that Haruka planted.
When we arrived at the tree, I was amazed by the beautiful and extravagant scenery, the tree is in full bloom, I've never seen such beautiful blossoms. And I can see Haruka standing in front of it, her black hair dancing to the wind, it made her look lovely.

Then she turned around noticing our presence and when she saw us, she gave us her lovely smile. I felt something burn inside me, a feeling I've never felt before, Oh dear me, just by seeing her made my heart beats.

Your's POV;
When I turned around I saw the two person I've waited to see. Ciel and Sebastian are standing there gazing at me.
"Welcome home you two!" Then I see Ciel's face turn red.

"Yes it's good to be back. So I see you have everything under control when we're away."
"I told you I can do it."
"I see that the tree has already bloomed."
"Yes, it's very surprising. How did it grow so fast?"
"That would be me, my dear." "Huh?"
"I see you like my gift, Haruka."
"Hmhm I should've known, it was you. And I love it."

"Oh you love it? Which one is it, the tree or me?" He said as he got closer and brushes my cheek, I felt heat rise to my face.
Ahhh why is he doing this to me? My heart is pounding, It feels like it could burst out, stop it heart or he will notice.

"Uh-Hmph, enough flattering you two!" Ciel said as his face grew red.
"Please forgive me young master."
"I'll be in my room, Sebastian bring me something sweet!"
"Yes, my lord." Then Ciel heads back to his room and only Sebastian and I remain.

"U-um Sebastian?"
"Yes, my dear?"
"Listen I went to Alois's manor yesterday and-" before I could finish Sebastian held my shoulders firmly.

"You went to The Trancy manor, why?"
"A-Alois invited me to play, so how could I refuse, and nothing really happened there, I'm fine really!"
Then Sebastian lets me go, then he sigh in relief "Are you sure, you are not harmed especially by Claude?"
I nod my head, then he hugs me.

"Please do not go anywhere unbeknownst to me. I do not want you get hurt."

Sebastian he's worried about me, I'm so happy. I buried my face in his chest.

"Hey Sebastian can I ask you something awkward?" I asked keeping my voice low.
"And what would that be?"
"............do you really love me?" I asked him and there was silence for a moment then he gives me a kind smile.
"I have said it before and I will say it again, I love you Haruka Yukimura."
I felt tears welling up in my eyes, and Sebastian wipes them with his fingers,

"Why are you crying, my dear?"
"I-it's nothing, I'm just.....*sniff* relief."
"Relief?..... Did somebody said something to you?" My eyes widen,
"Tell me. Who.is.it?"
"C-Claude asked me, do you really love me?" Then I hear him growl.
"B-but I didn't really thought about it."
"Then why did you asked me?" I fell silent, I have nothing to say.

"Really, he is nothing but a nuisance ever since we met." Sebastian brushed his hair and sighed.
"Hmhm but I'm also glad I'm able to asked you, I am able to know your feelings." Then I kissed him, Sebastian stares at me surprised, then he returned the kissed. We stay like that for a moment. And soon we break the kiss.

"Does that ease your concerns Haruka?"
"Leave me alone." I said as I blushed
"But if I remember correctly, you were the one who kissed me first." My face gets redder and redder. And Sebastian smirks.
"And Sebastian there's something I need to tell you and Ciel." Sebastian tilts his head.
"It's about my parents murderer."
"Did you find any clue?"
"Yes, actually in my dream I recall a man, he was quarreling with my father, perhaps they weren't in a good terms. But there's something else, he called my mother 'My Sakura maiden'."

"Can you describe his appearance?"
"He's in his thirties, has long blonde hair, and...." Then I recall a crest he was wearing.
"His crest, It's a picture of a crescent moon with two swords clashing with each other."
"Hmmm I do not know there is a crest like that but I will try and look for it. Let us inform this to the young master."
I nod my head and we head inside to head toward Ciel's room.

"Ciel can we come in?"
"Yes come in."
"Ciel there is something I need to tell you about my parents murderer." Then his eyes turned serious.
"Go on. Do you know who did it?"
"No but in my dream I saw a man, I already explained his appearance to Sebastian, and I happened to recall his family crest, It's a picture of a crescent moon with two swords clashing with each other."

"I see, Sebastian what does the man look like?"
"According to Haruka, he is in his thirties, and has long blonde hair."
"It could be anyone, anything else?" I shake my head. Suddenly there's a knock at the door, and Mey-rin comes in.
"Um young master there's mail for you." Then Mey-rin hands the envelope to Ciel, then his eyes shot open.
"Mey-rin leave." "Uh yes young master!" Mey-rin then leaves the room.

Then he looked at me "Haruka is this the crest you saw?" Then he hands me the envelope, and to my surprise the seal on the envelope matches then crest I saw in my dream, my hands begin to shake, but Sebastian held them tightly.
Ciel then opens the envelope, but the writings are in Japanese so he doesn't understand and hands it to Sebastian.

'Good evening Ciel Phantomhive, I personally invited you to my ball, tomorrow evening. At the Hyouka mansion in the north part of England. I will send you a carriage to take you to my mansion at 5 o'clock.
Hyouka Rikotetsu.

"It would seem that this man Hyouka Rikotetsu has invited us to his ball, tomorrow evening."
"It is quite suspicious......very well Sebastian clear all schedules for tomorrow, we'll be going to the Hyouka mansion. And Haruka-"

"I'll come to. Please Ciel." I said to him. Ciel looked hesitant for awhile but he nods his head. This is it I'll meet this man tomorrow, I can't go back down now.
"So for today Haruka please have a rest for tomorrow."

"O-okay." I said and I left the room, and shortly after Sebastian comes out of the room too. And he looked at me.
"Are you afraid?" He asked me with a serious look. I didn't say anything. And seeing me like this, Sebastian pulled me closer to him and hugged me tight.

"Do not worry my dear, As long I am with you, I will keep you save." Hearing his words I started crying in his chest, and he hugged me even tighter.

(Hey if you are wondering how I imagine Hyouka looks like, look at the picture above. And Haruka will soon meet the mysterious man from her dream. Is he the murderer or not? Find out in the next chapter!)
