(Name POV)

I don't remember what happened last night, and each time I try and remember, my head hurts really bad and my stomach does weird somersaults and I feel sick. I tried to think about what happened but I hurt my head. Or at least I pretended that's how I felt around our guests.

~*~*~*~ 3 hours prior ~*~*~*~

"M'Lord, we have guests." Nathaniel said.
"Huh? Oh, ok. Let's go." I said. When I got downstairs, I was attacked into a bear hug by someone.
"Ohayō, Soma Oujisama." I said, patting his head.
"Name!!!!!! I missed you so much!!!! Why didn't you tell me you were injured??!!!! Waaaaaa! I missed you!!!!! Name!!!" Soma Oujisama cried.
"Name, Namastejī. Are you feeling better?" Agni asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but is Soma Oujisama ok? He seems upset." I responded.
"He is fine. He was just worried about you." Agni said, as he tried to get Soma Oujisama of me.
To be honest, I was annoyed. Get annoyed. I didn't show it though. I couldn't. It would ruin my play.
I heard the doorbell ring. I opened it and saw Alois, beside him was Claude. He hugged me.
"Name, I heard you're feeling a bit better now. I came to visit you! Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"Y-yeah I'm feeling better." I said. I saw three people behind Them. Alois noticed me staring at the three people behind him. They walked up to me and bowed.
"Name, they are my butlers. Thompson, Timber and Canterbury. They're triplets." Alois said.  As Alois said their Names, they looked up. One by one. I nodded.
"It's nice to meet you!" I said, smiling.

They got up

They got up.
Thompson smiled at me as Timber took my hand and kissed the back of it. I pretended to blush slightly. I caught Canterbury staring at me, but when I looked at him, he blushed and looked away. Why were they treating me like a girl? Did they find out I was a girl? I haven't even met them yet. The triplets laughed silently and looked at me with a face that looked like it said 'We know your secret!'. They seemed to have read my thoughts!
"Don't trouble Name! We have to let her rest!" Alois said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"How did he know I am a girl? I didn't tell anyone but Soma and Agni..." I whispered to myself. I was deliberately being loud enough for Alois to hear. I knew he had found out. He was supposed to find out. It was all part of the play after all.
"Claude found out. He told me!" Alois said smiling. I looked at Claude and caught his eyes glowing a slight red-pink colour. He was a Demon! Of course I knew this, I just had to act surprised around our guests. I Couldn't possibly let them find out the truth.
"P-please come in! I can't make you wait outside all day long!" I said, breaking out of my thoughts and welcoming Alois and his butlers into my mansion. I told Jeromé to make some food for our guests. Johann ( I just realised I haven't said this, but Johann is pronounced as Yohann) was busy entertaining Alois and his butlers. The doorbell rang again. Anne went and opened the door.
"Young Master! It's Earl Phantomhive!" She informed me. I walked up to the door. It was Ciel.
"Name! Are you feeling better? I heard you suddenly fainted yesterday! Name!!! What happened to your forehead?!" Ciel bombarded me with questions.
"Ciel.."
"Are you feeling better? Did you hurt yourself?"
"Ciel."
"Are you taking your medicine? Did you sleep enough last night?"
"Ciel."
"Have you eaten yet? Name you should eat your meals properly!"
"Ciel."
"Why are you not in bed? Go to bed and rest!"
"CIEL!" I yelled, annoyed as hell. Ciel stopped speaking for a few seconds before asking me.
"Yes Name?"
"*sigh* you don't have to worry so much about me! I'm fine!" I said. Ciel blushed,
"I wasn't worried! I was simply asking you how you felt out of sympathy." He replied.
"Bocchan, you sounded worried to me." A girl with pink pigtails said.
"S-shut up Mei-Rin! I wasn't worried!" Ciel retorted back.
"But you just stuttered. You're lying Bocchan." Said a boy with a straw hat and blonde hair.
"I-I didn't and I'm not lying, now stop annoying me Finny! Or I'll tell Sebastian to send you back!" Ciel said angrily. Sebastian smiled at the boy called Finny, causing him to shrink away in fear.
"But Ciel, you were worried." I said.
"N-no I wasn't!" Ciel denied.
"You were! You sounded just like Johann does when he worries! Ciel, your such a tsundere!" I said. Ciel blushed darker.
"I'm not a tsundere..." Ciel replied, as he looked away.
"Hey~ Miss, you're so pretty!" Finny said, blushing slightly. i felt heat rush to my face, but quickly covered it up by coughing slightly and looking away.
"T-thanks." I said. I looked at Ciel with a questioning look that said 'how did you know?' and he looked at Sebastian. Sebastian smiled at me and bowed. I laughed slightly, amused at how they had figured out I was a girl, yet did not know of my plans.
"Come in Ciel." I said, letting Ciel in.

*timeskip*

"Name, I didn't know Soma and Alois would be here." Ciel said, his eye twitching.
"Yeah, I kinda didn't expect them to come. I'm ok with it though! It'll be more fun!" I said smiling.

(Jeromé POV)

"Yeah, I kinda didn't expect them to come. I'm ok with it though! It'll be more fun!" M'lady said smiling.
My eye twitched.
"M'lady, it is quite weird how Earl Phantomhive and Lord Trancy know you are a girl despite the fact you have not told them." I said. M'lady looked at me confused. She tilted her head. Damn she looks too cute! It's dangerous for the Earl and the Lord to know about her!
I caught Sebastian staring at M'lady. His eyes held hunger and lust in them. (Lol my phone autocorrects lust to slug!!) He wasn't thinking of killing M'lady, was he? I walked up to Sebastian.

(Sebastian POV)

Name tilted her head slightly in confusion. She looked very cute. *sigh* If only she wasn't so young and innocent! She's too naïve to know what thoughts occupied my head at that moment! (Sebastian you perv! Don't think like that about Reader-Chan!!!)
I saw Johann walk up to me from the corner of my eye. I looked at him.
"Sebastian, Im afraid but I won't let you kill my precious Mistress, so don't even think about it!" He said, glaring at me. I smiled at him. From the corner of my eye, I saw Jeromé glaring at me too. Seems both these servants were quite possessive of their young mistress.
"Don't worry Johann. I don't want to kill your Mistress, far from it actually." I said. Claude walked up to us.

(Claude POV)

I saw Johann and Sebastian talking. It looked like they were talking about Name. I overheard Sebastian say something like 'kill' and 'Mistress' So I walked up to them. (I can just imaging Claud eavesdropping as his ear "grows in size" whilst watching Johann and Sebastian from the corner of his eye!)
"Sebastian, if you are talking about killing Name, I will kill you first." I said while glaring at him. Johann laughed. "Looks like we aren't the only ones enchanted by M'lady's innocence and naïveté." He said as he look at the triplets. They were staring at Name. Thompson was staring at Name's eyes and blushing. He blushed brighter and shook his head before he continues to stare at her. He was probably thinking inappropriately about her. I scowled. Timber was hugging Name's right arm and blushing slightly while he snuggled his head into her arm. Canterbury was just blushing as he stared at her with his hand around Name's waist. Name was too busy trying to figure out whatever Cecil had just said and didn't realise this. (Just to clear this, Cecil was speaking French. Name doesn't understand French just for the sake of this story)
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. No one knew what happen and everyone looked at where the sound was coming from. Canterbury and Timber tightened their grip on Name protectively. Ciel and Alois followed Cecil and Nathaniel into a different room along with the triplets ( after being pried off and away from Name), Soma, Agni, Mei-Rin and Finny. As Sebastian and I followed them, we saw Jeromé walk up to Johann and smirk. Johann looked shocked and surprised; his eyes showed a hint of pink-red as Johann quickly took out a pair of scissors. Johann seemed to be a demon yet he had a death scythe in his hand. I was confused. I saw Name's eye colour change slightly from (e/c) to (e/c) with a hint of (f/c). ( I decided favourite colour would be better than a fixed colour as it's easier to write) he didn't seem to be aware of what was happening. A black light came out from around Name. A beast, then came out of Name's chest. Then I heard something.
'Don't get too close, it's dark inside, it's where my demons hide.' It sounded like Name. Maybe she was warning us. Sebastian and I quickly followed our Master's out. Whatever that was, it had taken control over Name, and it wasn't good. But Name's chef definitely had something to do with it.
