A Demon In Ouran? *Hikaru Hitachiin*

Agni's Advice

This evening we are preparing for guests. Lord Randall and Sir Aberline of the Scotland Yard. But now it's still morning, and I need to attend to the guest bedrooms. Our previous ones didn't keep the rooms in tact and we never had time to tend to them. Right now I was walking to Mr. Tama- *sigh* Tamaki-sempai's room and met with Agni. He smiled his same cheery smile, "Namaste Angela-san. How are you this morning?"

"I'm well and you Agni?"

"Happy."

"That's good." he spotted the bundle of sheets and covers in my arms and said, "Do you need help? I'll help you."
I hesitated but, reluctantly, I gave him some sheets.

We opened the door to the room and it wasn't as unkempt as I thought it be.
" So how are you today Angela-san?" he asked as we stripped the bed.
"I'm doing well. Thank you for asking." There was a moment of silence.
" Where did those guests come from?"
"Pardon?"
"The guests that you previously had. Where did they come from? They didn't look like English nobles."
"Oh, from Tokyo."

"Interesting."

"Angela-san --"

"Angela." no need for the honorifics.

"Angela, how long have you served  Ciel-sama?"

"Oh, for about 1 year now."

"Really? Do you like working here?"

"Why yes I do very much."

"Why, might I ask."

"Well, because I get to work alongside my friends."

"Miss Maid, Chef-dono, Mr. Sebastian and the little boy?"

"Yes."

"...Do you really consider them friends?"

"What do you mean?"

"The true definition of friends I believe is caring for that person. And having fun around them, like laughing and smiling."

"Well, then yes I do consider them friends because I do care for them, especially master."

"But that is not the whole definition." that is true, he did say you have fun around them. W-well I do have fun around them!

"I do have fun around here."

"Really, like what?"

"Well I..."

"Exactly." Agni said after moments of silence.

"Angela, when Prince Soma and I were here we saw you smile and laugh with those guests. And to be honest that is what you should look like around Mr. Sebastian and the rest." But- I smile- but- it's just a fake smile. I looked up at Agni, speechless.

"I think you should go back where your real friends are, in Tokyo. You will surely smile truly where they are." That was all he said,  he just walked out the door. I stepped out, watching his retreating figure.

'Maybe.. Agni's right.' Maybe I should go back to Ouran.
 

<<Time Skip>>

Nothing was heard except the clanks of silverware setting next to the china. And that was me. Right now Sebastian and I are preparing for lord Randall and Sir Aberline to come. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Sebastian glancing at me. He opened his mouth to speak but someone new entered the room.
"Ah, Agni, I'm afraid you will have to leave the manor when the guests come." Sebastian said.

"Eh, what did you just..."

"When the guests arrive would you please leave the manor?"

"W-why?"
