I wake up in someone's arms, giant's arms. Great I fell asleep and turned into my full cat form. The only good thing about it is the fact that I am an orange tabby cat. When I open my eyes to see who is carrying me, I am surprised and glad to see that it is Ciel holding me.

I glance over to see Sebastian carrying all my stuff with my dress and hair-band practically up his nose. A class ten cat freak. Perfect!*note the sarcasm*

"Bocchan, I think the lady is awake." He says, noticing my icy cat glare.

"So?" Was all Ciel said, scratching between my ears. I resist the urge to bite his fingers. Instead I paw away his hand, turning my glare towards him. He takes notice and just caries me.

"Nothing, young lord." Sebastian looks at me with longing eyes. I bet he wants to be the one carrying me. I take advantage of this and do a cute cat stretch and yawn, curling up closer to Ciel and start to pur lightly, even tho I don't like purring. he glares slightly at me, but I just do a cat smirk.

I look up at the building that we are moving towards. It is huge. It's hard to believe that I will working and living here. I jump out of Ciel's arms onto my dress, right in front of Sebastian's face. I bite my dress gently and pull a bit, saying I want to change back. He understands and puts it on the ground, I pull it into a bush, a minute later i come out, without any dirt or dust on me or my dress.

"Well? Shall we go inside?" I ask, grabbing my headband from Sebastian and quickly tied it over my cat ears.

"Yes, we shall. Sebastian, show Rouge to her room, then let her get settled in." Ciel says neutrally, walking up the stairs. "And warn the others that she is here, but don't tell them what she is."

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bows down on one knee with his hand where his heart should be beating. He stands up and leads us inside, opening the door for us.

. . .

We left Ciel in his study so he can work. Sebastian gestures for me to follow him, which I do reluctantly. As I follow Sebastian down the hall, I feel like it is a bad idea that he knows where my room is, but whatever, I can defend myself.

He shows me my room, it's a simple room; an iron post bed, a couple of dressers and a door leading to a personal bathing room.

"This will be your room. If you need anything, my room is behind the door right across the hall." Sebastian says gesturing for me to enter. I walk in, with him right behind me. Great, he lives right across from me, this will be fun, NOT!

He puts my bags down on the bed I would be sleeping in for a while, and started to unpack for me. He suddenly stands up straight and turned towards me, a closed eyes smirk on his face.

"My master is in need of my assistance, if you will excuse me." He bows slightly then leaves, closing the door behind him. After I know he is gone, I finish unpacking then stretch out on my new bed. I am just about to doze off when I hear a knocking on my door.

"Come in." I grumble, while sitting up. None other then Sebastian walks in.

"The young master has asked for you to dine with him this evening, and I am to escort you." He bows slightly.
"Uh... Ok. Bring me down." I wonder why Ciel wants me to dine with him, Sebastian looks at me in slight surprise.

"Don't you wish to change into a proper dinning gown?" He asks, regaining his composure.

"Only if I have to." I reply, not caring. It's more trouble to change then not.

"If you insist." He gestures for me to exit my room. "Follow me, please."

Sebastian leads me down multiple corridors and hallways. I start to memorize things in each one, I will need to learn these halls for I am to work here. We come to large ornate doors which Sebastian opens and let's me inside.

Ciel sits at the end of the table looking up in surprise. "I thought you would take longer." Ciel stands and gestures for me to sit down by him.

"Thank you. I am a fairly simple lady. I don't need to change for every event of the day." I smile and sit in the chair Sebastian pulled out for me, which was farther away from Ciel then he had gestured for.

"Uhm... Sebastian, don't you think that is a little far for a decent conversation? Bring her here, closer to me." Ciel smiles innocently at Sebastian.

"Yes, young lord." He offers me his hand for me to stand, but I ignore it and move right next to Ciel. We smile evilly at each other, reading each other's mind: 'I want to have fun with Sebastian's -obsession- over me/Rouge.' The said butler glared at Ciel and then at me.

"Shall I go get the first course?" He asks, standing between our chairs.

"If you wish. Rouge are you hungry yet?" Ciel looks at me, a smile threatening to invade his face. I lean in closer to him so that our faces were only inches apart.

"Starving." I shift my chair closer to Ciel's. I notice Sebastian stiffen.

"Of course." Sebastian bows and leaves to the kitchen. To go finish preparations for diner and bring it out.

Ciel and I look at each other, smiles covering our faces as we try to keep the laughter at bay. Then Sebastian comes out with two bowls of soup. He goes to put my bowl down in front of me but "slips" and the bowl falls. I catch it before it can spill on my dress, putting it in front of Ciel, taking the other from Sebastian, putting it down in front of me.

"Ciel, I think you might need a new butler. This one seems to be incompetent." I tease, taking a sip of my soup.

"Indeed, it does. Now, I know very little about you other then your 'condition' and that you name is Rouge." Ciel looks at me as he takes a sip of tea. I thought I might have been able to escape this, but it seems not. "So, tell me about yourself. About your past."
