(This was written about two hours ago from the publish time. I had gotten so caught up in the next chapter I forgot. There might be a bit of fluff in the next chapter! I'm sorry for the wait, but I'm going off of the anime for most of this, so I'm going back and forth between and transcript and this. As difficult as I find it to write I do enjoy the way it comes out in the end. Can I tell you a secret at the end?)
They were headed into London for a new case. Her Majesty was becoming worried about the murdered prostitutes. Ciel hated the company of others, he'd rather just sit in his mansion and stay there. Rowan had taken on the role of maid since she was still studying with the help of Sebastian. She had wanted to be his personal tutor but didn't have enough knowledge. She caught on quick though. She likes to write in her journal the cases they go on. Even though this one is the first entry. "I hate this, there are too many people in London." Rowan didn't like it either, she would rather be alone, or alone with Sebastian, either worked just fine. "There is no helping it, my lord. It's tradition for nobles to migrate in masses to the town from the country." Rowan huffed. "I'd say the Season is just another reason to brag about how fancy everything you own is." Sebastian didn't seem pleased either, but that was probably because of their negative attitudes. "Getting away from the manor could prove a nice change of pace. It's a break from those four, at least... We can enjoy a little peace and quiet for a time." Rowan looked to Sebastian and exchanged a look. Once they were left alone that was highly unlikely. Rowan snickered behind Ciel at the thought. "What's so funny?" She shook her head. "Nothing of importance my lord, it was just a joke I remembered hearing." He sighed. Idiot. They walked in to the library to see Madame Red, Lau and Ran-Mao, and Grell. "I don't think your going to find the tea in there ma'm.." Ciel was dumbstruck. "What are you doing here?!" Madame Red and Lau suddenly became serious. "Madam Red?! Lau?! What are you here?! They turned serious. "Ciel, you're early, dear." Rowan was already bored with this. "Your sudden appearance here in town must mean.." "The Queen's guard dog has a new scent to follow." Rowan sighed, she was about to turn around when she was trapped in a bear hug by Madame Red. "Oh! She's simply adorable!" Madame Red paused. "You're not bothered?" Rowan shrugged, "I spent time around a girl who had fantasies about every attractive man she met. She wasn't exactly held back. More like held on too much.." Madame Red laughed, "What was her name? I might know her?" Rowan was shocked, might she know Venus? "Her name is Venus." Madame Red shivered at the name, "You too?" She nodded vigorously. The men were confused. "You don't want to know. If so ask Sebastian." Madame Red, Lau and Ciel sat down. "He struck again, another prostitute was found gruesomely murdered in Whitechapel. These killings are far from normal. The level of violence we're seeing is unprecedented." Rowan was ready to go to her room and clock out. She was tired because she didn't get any sleep last night. "The most recent victim was a woman named Mary Ann Nichols. It appears a special type of blade was used on her. She was torn up beyond recognition." Fantastic, murdered prostitutes that were torn up. "He's earned himself the name Jack the Ripper." Rowan was happy she remembered at least that. Ciel said that was why he was here. Lau asked if he could stomach the crime seen. He started describing the body. "Mr. Lau, as much as we'd all love to hear a description of the bodies, I'd like to actually keep my lunch." Lau chuckled. "Who might you be Miss Maid?" She was was being called Miss by a nobleman, at least he seemed like it. "My name is Rowan." He came closer. "Can I buy her?" Rowan moved away closer to Sebastian. "I'm not for sale."

They had arrived at the crime scene. He clearly didn't know who he was speaking to. Sir Arthur Randall came around and said The Yard could handle it. They walked away and said they had to go visit someone useful. They ended up at Undertaker's. Rowan had no idea to expect. They walked in. Undertaker asked if he was there to be fitted for a coffin. He asked for a laugh. She raised an eyebrow. After Madame Red and Lau failed Sebastian took it upon himself to make him laugh after asking everyone to go outside. Rowan tried pouting her way out of it but ended up outside just like everyone else. Madame Red looked to her. "What were you doing in there a minute ago?" Rowan kicked some imaginary dirt while thinking of her answer. "I tried to pout my way out of going outside. It would've worked if Sebastian wasn't so.. Stiff." Madame Red laughed as the door opened. Rowan was the last one in. "I heard what you said." Rowan smirked. He'd do something about it. "Oh? And what are you going to do about it?" He didn't answer. She stared up at him. "Damn you're creepy when you want to be." She joined the others. Undertaker said that their uterus was missing and ended up using Rowan as an example, much to her and Sebastian's displeasure. They walked out and got into the carriage and Sebastian was ordered to investigate. Rowan ended up being dragged along. When they arrived home Sebastian went to prepare tea and Rowan went up to her room. She ended up falling asleep on her desk. Meanwhile Sebastian was downstairs showing off. After he finished Madame Red noticed Rowan was missing. "Where's Rowan?" Sebastian had no idea. "I don't have the slightest clue. I'll go look for her." He went upstairs to her room and found her asleep with her head on the desk. He chuckled amused. She had looked ready to simply roll over and die this morning. He shook her shoulder, she barley budged. He started trailing his fingers up her arm. "Rowan.." She hummed in response. "If you're going to sleep at least change." She sighed and got up. He now could see how tired she really was. She quickly changed and climbed into the bed, instantly falling back asleep. He smiled, she hadn't even bothered to get under the covers. He covered her up with her blanket and walked out. He had a master to attend to no matter how adorable she was asleep. She woke up suddenly and got up, going for something else to wear to sleep. She'd have to get a new nightgown soon. She put Sebastian's shirt on and went back to sleep quickly. She was unnaturally cold for some reason. It was like the world outside of her blanket was an icebox, but it lulled her to asleep nonetheless.
