"You'll be fine, wait for me here..." the demon spoke gentle words, The evening was dark, and the demon was wet and cold. Moving the boy to a small villa, the demon's eyes sparked, while the remainder of his arm dripped slightly from when it had been taken off. Slipping out the door the demon vanished into the dark. He wanted to get to the undertaker, who gave him a recently dead arm so that he didn't look like he was as injured to the other servants at the Phantomhive mansion. The demon once again disappeared into the dark, arriving at the mansion, walking smoothly up to the door and entering. "Meirin…" he spoke in a soft voice to the maid that was cleaning up glass.

The red haired woman peeked up from where she was bent down, immediately flushing to the voice, knowing easily who it belonged to. "Se-Se-Sebastian!" Turning quickly to face him, she nearly slipped in the pile of glass spread about her form. Reaching up to push her glasses up a bit, she hugged the dustpan to her chest.

"The master may be gone for a bit, I hope that you are going to keep the place just as the young master likes it. Do you understand?" The demon didn't smile at all, he kept both of the hands by his side so that he wasn't looking like he couldn't move his left arm. The butler moved to her his eyes sparking dangerously, "Don't let anyone mess up the mansion."

The woman's face grew hotter, taking a step back and nodding quickly. "Y-y-y-yes Sebastian!" she nodded vigorously, swallowing shakily before bending back down to snatch up the broom to clean the mess she'd created prior to Sebastian's arrival.

"Everything will be spotless!"

"Very good, make sure everyone else knows. I must leave, Master Phantomhive needs his butler." The butler said watching the girl, he turned around seeing Tanaka behind him.

"Ho, ho, ho…" the man said holding a cup of tea. The demon looked down at him.

"You are in charge to keep them in line." The butler said moving to the door, opening it slowly, walking out carefully and gracefully. He was taking it slow until he was out of sight of everyone.

Meirin watched the Phantomhive's most loyal follower leave for what almost felt like the final time, noticing something different about he butler. Sighing, her brows furrowed as she stood up straight, turning briefly in the direction of Tanaka, then back to where Sebastian used to be. 'Where could young master Phantomhive be?'
