A Black Basket 21- Will she get revenge?

Ciel Phantomhive said: (Kuroshitsuji)

If you are crying, fight against it! If you're regretting, walk forward! Only complaining on your misfortune, you're nothing but a common pig!

Ciel woke up in his bed with Sebastian leaning over him.

"Good morning master."

"Sebastian! Don't do that it's creepy!"

Ciel tried to sit up, but fell back weakly.

"It seems you've gotten a cold from being outside."

Ciel coughed lightly and sighed.

"No work for me I'm guessing?" He was secretly happy his work would be able to get an extended deadline because of his illness.

"Correct. Do you remember anything from last night?"

Ciel rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"All I remember is walking outside."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "You don't remember seeing Lady Elizabeth?"

Ciel's eyes widened. "I SAW LIZZIE?"

"You backed away from her and had an asthma attack.."

Sebastian handed Ciel a teacup filled with hot tea.

"Was she..old?" Ciel asked nervously.

"No..she looked to be about the age she was when you went 'missing'."

Sebastian helped the sick boy sit up in his bed. He put the hot teacup to his lips and took a sip.

"I see.." Ciel said quietly.

"Oh and Miss Honda has requested to talk to you.."

"Send her in then.."

Sebastian bowed and exited the room. He approached Tohru and led her into Ciel's bedroom.

"Ciel!" Tohru said in relief as she saw him. "I'm glad you're okay..I was so worried.."

Ciel raised an eyebrow. "I was fine. No need to worry."

"All I did was worry! Why did you storm off like that?"

"I was angry and upset..why else?"

"Oh.." Tohru looked down.

"I thought you had a problem with how Kyo and I were when you walked in.."

Ciel got a lump in his throat. He kept the words of anger he truly wanted to share aloud to himself.

"I think he wanted something more..I don't know..maybe a relationship? I couldn't say yes..too much is going on."

Ciel looked up at Tohru as she stood at the edge of his bed.

"I thought you guys were.."

Tohru shook her head slightly.

"No.."

Ciel didn't understand the relief he felt. He wasn't relieved because he liked her...was he? She was a completely different person before the contract she was actually pure, now she's just a lost cause. Ciel knew he could take her soul she had no purpose of his time, but he chose not to. Tohru didn't ask for the contract she was forced.

Tohru sat on the side of Ciel's bed and took his hand lightly. The young demon looked up at the girl he was suppose to be preying on.

"You don't have to tell me, but I really want to know what happened. Does this have to do with...with..the contract?" Tohru didn't like using those words. She felt like she had no escape.
