    "You. . . You're a reaper?" Ciel asked.

    "Interesting, I thought I sensed a strange engery radiating from you." Sebastian said. Halona tried her best to hide her blush.

    "Well, I'm not an official reaper yet, Undertaker has been training me for two years now." Halona explained to them.

    "You're awfully young to be a grim reaper." Ciel stated. Halona blushed and nodded.

    "So I've been told. . . Now, what's this talk about demons?" She asked. Ciel sighed and sat down.

    "I long time ago my parents were killed in a fire, and it was not an accident. I survived, but was kidnapped and tortured. So I made a deal with a demon. He would help me find the ones who killed my parents. Not for revenge, but so they could feel the pain and humiliation I felt. The demon took on the form of a butler, whom I named Sebastian." Ciel explained.

    "Oh." Halona said. She couldn't think of a word to say to him now. The awkward silence was then broken by the witch.

    "Well I'm hungry, it's lunch time anyways!" Jade exclaimed. Sebastian smirked and held out his hand.

    "I'll escort you to the dining room. There I shall prepare lunch for you Miss Jade." Said the butler. Jade's face turned into a deep red as she nodded. The two left, leaving Halona and the boy alone together.

    "Well today was. . . Eventful." Said the girl, trying to break the silence.

    "Yes. . . It was." Ciel hesitantly agreed. More silence filled the air as Ciel debated on what to say next. Halona noticed his face grew into a deep red with his fists clenched.

    "Phantomhive? Are you okay?" She asked. Ciel looked at her with a wide eye.

    "Ciel, what's wrong?" Ciel looked down and shook his head.

    'What's wrong with me?' He mentally asked himself.

    'I must be crazy for doing this.' He told himself. Halona was about to ask the same question again until. . .

    Suddenly, Ciel moved closer to her, he lifted her chin and brought her closer to his thin lips. She felt her face grow hot, she could feel his warm breath down her neck.

    'What was this feeling'? She asked herself mentally. There was a strange sensation in her stomach.

    "C-ciel," Halona stuttered. The boy looked terrified.

    "I don't. . . Know why. . . But I have to do this." He told her, trying his best to not look like a tomato. Halona had no idea what to do. Undertaker had warned her about boys. Her mind flashed back to the talk.

~flashback~

    "Now my child, we need to talk." Undertaker sat her down gently. Halona tilted her head.

    "What did I do this time?" She asked. Undertaker giggled and pet her head.

    "No my dear, you did nothing wrong." He sighed and took a very deep breath.

    "Now, you're a very beautiful young lady Halona. And boys, well. Boys are dumb, even that boy Phantomhive. Now it doesn't matter who, but you're too young to start kissing and going out alone with them. I'm not going to give you up. So anytime a boy tries anything on you, show em' hell." Halona nodded and hugged Undertaker tightly.
