your POV

sooo... i might not have figured out how to get down.. but before you say it: i am NOT stuck. just a little.... confused.

confused not stuck!

there was a tall tree out of reach. frustrated, i kicked the ledge i was sat on. i must of kicked too hard though as it caved in and i fell through the roof, landing right on top of Phantomhive's desk. "aaahhhh! ouch!" i lay there, winded, for a few seconds before sitting up and rubbing my spine.

i winced as i saw the gaping hole above the window, that is not going to go down well for me. at least now i can get out, i suppose. i opened the door and tried to successfully escape the mansion silently while evading any contact with the other members of the household.

a floor board creaked as i made my way down the huge staircase when i spotted the cherry haired maid right in front of me. i froze, but luckily, she hadn't seen me.

i transformed into a feline once again and tried to sneak by her. despite my efforts, she scooped me up and stared at my furry face, "meow?" i meowed questioningly. the maid finally spoke.

"you shouldn't be in here, no you shouldn't. how did you even get in? the master would be most annoyed if he found out we had a cat in the manor, yes he would." so she carried me to the front door and put me outside. i hissed as rain poured onto my fur. drat, it must of started raining when i made my way through the mansion. the door closed. that means that Phantomhive's study... i chuckled as i thought about the hole in the roof, the damaged desk, the papers scattered on the floor and the rain dampening everything. serves him right for trying to trap me.

Timeskip to London.

i paced around the streets of London town (still in cat form should anyone recognise me) until i caught sight of them. they were entering a funeral parlour labelled 'The Undertaker's Parlour' i waited outside, in the rain, as a cat until they came back out into the street; Ciel, Sebastian, the red-head lady from earlier, another butler with glasses and long brown hair, and a tanned Chinese man with black hair and had his eyes closed. i walked close to them, hoping to hear any clues that they had uncovered. i caught the attention of Sebastian and he sighed, picked me up and began petting me. shocked, i hissed and scratched his hand, causing him to drop me and i ran round the corner. from the corner of my feline eye, i saw the heartbroken look of the butlers face and Ciel appeared annoyed about something. he was also covering his mouth and nose.

maybe hes allergic to cats. i hate it when people pet me! I'm not a pet! I'm an agent! an assassin if you will! not to mention one of the rarest kind of Neko. I'm not some common Tabi (tabby) or Takishi (tuxedo) Neko.

i followed them closely to a London Townhouse and after a few minutes of waiting for there to be no people in sight, i turned back into my human form and politely knocked on the door, there were others residing in the house after all. the door was soon answered by the raven haired butler, "why, hello miss (l/n). please wait a moment, while i fetch my master." he fake smiled, glaring at me suspiciously.

sure enough, Sebastian returned with Phantomhive in tow. the boy looked shocked for a split second before dragging me by the arm to a room in the house. "what the hell are you doing here?! how did you escape my defences?!" he whisper-shouted.

"that's not relevant as of right now, what however is relevant is how you're planning on getting into the Viscount's party."

"how--? were you spying on me?!"

"no, i just happen to have noticed that the only person without an alibi for the night of the killings was the Viscount Druitt."

"and how did you figure that one out?!"

"from when i was spying on you this morning."

"but you just said--"

"i haven't spied on you recently. not for a whole... 5 hours."

"which brings me back to; how the hell did you escape my defences only 2 hours after we had left the mansion?!"

"well, it wasn't exactly 2 hours. i did have to walk to London and find you."

"gggrrrrrr!"

"easy puppy, we don't want you getting all flustered now, do we?" i smirked in baby voice, crossing my arms.

"shut up!" he shouted this time.

i turned to Sebastian, whispering but making sure Phantomhive could hear me, "do you think it has rabies?"

"i said shut up!"

"yes, i heard you. pipe down now."

the butler smirked a little but tried to maintain respect and loyalty to his master. a respectable companion. he would make a good work partner.

platonically of course. i would never think of that.

the red haired lady and Chinese man rushed into the room. "is everything ok? Lau and I heard you shouting and ---" the woman said, worriedly. so i guess that makes the Chinese man Lau? strange name. "Ciel, who is this girl?"

"no need to concern yourself madam. shes --"

"i am (y/n) of the (l/n) household. i have been sent to work in a team with the Earl of Phantomhive." i smiled.

"(l/n)? oh, yes, i have heard of your family. and you being (y/n), that's makes you the Cat of the Queen." replied the woman. "i am Dr. Angelina Dalles, better known as Madame Red. Ciel's Aunt. this man here is Lau. he is manager of the British branch of the Shanghai trading company."

"pleasure to meet you both." i smiled, bowing my head.
