I jogged up the shabby apartment's stairs with groceries in a rush to get out of the pouring rain.

"Marie! Marie! Open the door!" I pounded on the cheap wood, attempting to yell over the rain and thunder. The sky was dark with it even with it being 6pm.

"Password please." A sing-song voice came from the other side.

"Phantomhive. Jesus! Just open the door!" There was a sound of jiggling and bolts and the door swung open. I rushed and and slammed the door shut behind myself. Marie's brown eyes glittered with mischief as they looked down on me from her 5'10" form. I glared at my elder sister's retreating back.

"Your obsession with that show is ridiculous I swear. I'm surprised with all the time we spending running away from them that you have time to watch that crap." I muttered as I shook off as much water as possible before moving to the small shabby kitchen. Nine times out of ten we would get into a fist fight over the show but I knew I was safe when the show was on because nothing broke her focus when her love, Ciel Phantomhive appeared. Nothing. I watched her messy brown hair in a high ponytail settle back to her spot on the floor where I'm sure had sunken in a little since we got here.

"This place is actually real you know! Nothing is impossible you know." She shook her fist at me yet did not move her eyes from the box TV she had hooked her computer up to. I shook my head and began unpacking the food. I heard a small yawn and turned. A small child with straight black hair and crystal blue eyes stood there with a pink baby blanket.

"Hey Kaoru." I said softly and kneeled to her height and to sweep the hair out her face.

"I take shower by myself 'cuz Ree not do it for me." I sweatdropped and hugged her. Simultaneously I grabbed the salt container off the counter and threw it at the back of Marie's head. She merely grunted in warning but otherwise did not move.

"It's okay. Next time wait for me okay? I got your favorite snacks ." I grabbed the cinnamon graham crackers box and handed them to her. She immediately brightened.

"Go watch Black Butler with Marie while I make dinner." I pushed her butt towards the room where it served as a bedroom/ living room.

"Yay! Sebbachan-chan." I groaned as it was probably one of her first words she had ever spoken out loud. I heard Marie snicker at my discomfort. She scooped her up in her lap and laughed.

"Yes. Let's watch Sebastian-chan." After about 45 minutes I set the table of course all the tableware was paper and plastic. I sighed. That's what happens when you're on the run. As I set the table I heard Kaoru say, "Do we leave now? We always leave when it rains." I turned to see Marie smile.

"Let's play hide and seek, yes?" I thanked the heavens she had thought Kaoru's favorite game up. Given there weren't a lot of places to hide in the flat but Kaoru did not care.

"Okay. You hide and I'll count. 1, 2, 3..." The child scuttled off in glee and I turned back to the stove.

"Dahlia. She's right you know. " I sighed.

"Yeah. I know. I'll start preparing tonight. You should get some sleep." I spoke. There was some silence. Kaoru was giggling uncontrollably from under the bed.

"I hate this. We're always running from them. I want to have a life. I want Kaoru to have a life. I wish to god we weren't both mages." Marie whispered.
