I don't know how regular i will post due to course work and other things (uni *le sigh)  So please bear with... 

Now without further Adue, The story!!

Emma gave the address to the carriage driver and then sat down inside, after making sure that James was in the carriage she tapped the roof and slowly they started moving. She sat there with a smug look on her face knowing that she had just gotten the best of James at the moment, even if it wasn't going to last that long she was satisfied with his response for now.

Just as they left the outskirts of London Emma, spoke "It's going to be nice to finally get out of London."she was looking outside th window watching the scenery as they went past. The buildings slowly coming out of view and being replaced with fields covered in assortments of flowers swaying in the spring breeze untouched by man. Trees swaying softly as the seeds from slowly float off and away into the wind, a small smile spreading across her face as she watched the scenery finally able to relax after the past forty-eight hours of her life being hectic. James only rose an eyebrow to her statement slightly confused, "what is wrong with London?" pulling her eyes from the th window, she sighed and looked at James " nothing is wrong with London, It's just nice to get a breather from all the noise and the excietment from there...To go to a place where you're not expected to act a certain way or do certain things, it's like you can finally relax and be at peace..."she stifled a small giggle shaking her head "sorry that probably sounds ridiculous to a demon..." James was just in awe, his eyes softened looking at her, looking away shaking his head cold eyes going back. Mentally telling himself not to get too distracted with her, crossing his arms he huffed "yeah well I'm sure you like it more than it likes you Princess. Mentally telling himself not to get too distracted with her, crossing his arms he huffed well I'm sure you like it more than it likes you Princess. James only frowned slumping back, getting a reply he smirked and spoke up "actually animals are a part of nature and they could like you, the problem is...they all drop dead when you pass by"Gasping he pointed out the window "Look! I think I just saw a birds nest fall out of the tree- aw there go the eggs, now they're all dead and its your fault..."Rolling her eyes Emma looked back and over to him."I wasn't looking at the nest, so I think you'll find that it was your ugly mug that killed them..."Sinking back down James huffed mumbling "maybe you're right..." That statement only made Emma smile wide "I know" she seemed to be enjoying the fact that she could win some conversations with him, which amused her because for someone who's lived a considerable amount of time she'd thought he would be smarter.

After an hour later the carriage pulled up to a Large mansion, it was a dull cream colour that had faded over time with blue tiles on the roof that only seemed to complement the dull exterior. The windows were tall and seemed to cover the front side of the mansion assuming to let more light into it, to complement the look there were dark brown oak doors in the front, of which opened slowly, revealing an older man. He had grey hair pulled back out of his face, a small monical resting over his right eye. The man walked forward revealing that he was wearing a typical butler outfit.

Letting out a smile Emma turned to James in the cart and spoke,"Now remember what I said okay? Don't disrespect him, and for the love that is good and holy don't.Mention.His.Mention."she then sighed opening the cart door stepping out with the hand of the carriage driver and respectfully thanked him, James followed behind and got out after her smiling paying.

The two walked over to the elderly man and he spoke softly bowing "good afternoon Madame Walker, welcome back to the Phantomhive Manor."with a smile and a small bow Emma spoke up "It's been to long Tanaka, this is my newest butler James Michaels" she gestured to him and with that James gave a bow speaking once again with that perfect British accent again "good afternoon Tanaka" with a smile Tanaka stepped inside the door "Do come in M'lady, the young master will be with you momentarily" Emma walked inside James following, he couldn't help but wonder why the elder man known as Tanaka had said young master. As if sensing Jame's confusion she turned to him giving him a "Don't" look, of which James shrugged and then turned his attention to the stairs.

A small boy with slightly long blue hair that covered the sides of his face framing it well and an eyepatch on his right eye whilst the other blue eye stood out walked down the stairs he held a cane in his hand, walking with authority. He was dressed in what looked like the finest cloth and cotton for this time, he wore navy blue shorts and a light blue shirt with a navy waist coat and overcoat to match. He had a small black bow on the front of the shirt tying the look together. Behind the small boy was a tall man, he had black hair slightly longer than the little boy's and had a deep brown eye colour, this man wore a butler suit as well, on his right-hand side he had the family crest pin on signifying he was the main butler and made sure that everyone did their job. "Lady Walker." the smaller boy spoke, "It's a pleasure to see you as always."

James went wide eyed and pulled on the sleeve of Emma, he was trying to pull her out of the door. He stuttered, and a look of fear crossed his face as she looked at him "w-we need t-t-to get o-out of h-h-here now....right now...Maybe the carriage is still here. " Emma pulled her hand away from him and shook her head glaring "What on earth do you mean leave? We have just got here, behave now...we are safe here" 

The black haired man walked from the side of the smaller boy and bowed, speaking smoothly looking at her "Ah, Madame Walker it is lovely to see you again, we have deerly missed you here-" he froze from speaking when he saw James, his eyes went crimson red with black slits down the center "You!"he boomed glaring at James. To which James jumped and hid behind Emma using her as a human shield "this is what I meant! We've got to go!"Before Emma or the little boy could get a word in the taller butler walked forward, "forgive me my lord, but I have someone to take care of... " he cracked his knuckles walking forward causing James to let out a girlish squeal behind Emma "What?!"Emma then turned to face James "what on earth did you do?!"

The younger boy now spoke up "Sebastian..." so thats what the taller butler was called, "Whether or not you have business with this man or not, he is a guest here at the Phantonhive estate as he is here with Lady Walker, treat him as such" this caused James to relax majorly, and he spoke up after a small nudge from Emma "Thank you! Thank you Lord Phantomhive!!" however, he still used Emma as a human shield. Upon hearing his masters words Sebastian huffed and nodded bowing "apologies Lady Walker for causing a scene, I will go now and prepare some tea as well as preparing for dinner, please excuse me..."With that he stopped bowing and walked off to the side assumingly to the kitchen. Looking back Emma raised an eyebrow, James sank and mumbled "I'll Explain later"

Emma then straightens herself off and bows at the young boy "thank you Lord Phantomhive, it shall not happen again I assure you" Shaking his head the young boy raised a hand "Do not worry about it, and please how many times have I asked you to call me Ciel, now let us go to the study we have much to discuss don't we?"with that the three of them left for the study.

Walking inside Ciel sat down offering Emma a seat, of which she graciously took it sitting down. Huffing James looked around thinking about how right now he could really use with a cigarette. Ciel looked up at Emma and spoke calmly "Judging be Sebastian's reaction your butler isn't exactly human is he?" as Emma opened her mouth to speak a loud high-pitched squeal echoed through the hall "Ciel!!!" without hesitation Ciel shuddered and groaned " Elizabeth..."

The door slammed open and there stood a girl with vibrant green eyes and curly blond hair stood with a wide smile on her face, she wore a baby pink dress with frills and laces, perfect for the girls at that age. She spoke again "There you are!-" With a bigger gasp she saw Emma who was now giving a very nervous smile, instantly the girl called Elizabeth ran over talking Emma in her seat giggling loudly and hugging tightly to much so for Emma's comfort"I missed you Emma!". This cause James to laugh glancing at Ciel and make a joke "what the hell is she on? And where can I get some?" of course after seeing that Ciel just sat there emotionless he sighed slumping back against the wall.

Elizabeth stops hugging and sits next to Emma, who was now trying to sort herself out "I missed you Emma..."Nodding she agreed, which causes Ciel to speak "Elizabeth that wasn't very proper of a lady was it?" this in turn causes Elizabeth to pout and apologize. Realizing that she hasn't even introduces James. Emma now speaks up "where are my manners, Ciel, Elizabeth this is my new butler James Micheals, James this is Elisabeth Milford and Ciel Phantomhive.." Bowing down and giving his signature fake smile that only Emma could detect he smiled up at the pair of them, kissing Elizabeth's hand "it is a plesure to meet you lady Elizabeth, and you too sir Phantomhive"

Glancing over to Elizabeth Ciel spoke, "Elizabeth why are you here exactly?"Huffing Elizabeth crossed her arms,"I've told you to call me Lizzy! And I wanted to visit you, having Emma here is a bonus!"She giggled looking over to Emma, "thank you...Lizzy, it is much appreciated"

James stood watching the event take place listening to their convisation, he though to himself about how small Ciel was, and that how shocked he was at him being a lord at such a young age, what happened to his parents? Inturrupting his thoughts Sebastian walked in with Tea, he smiled and handed out cups to everyone except James. "ahh Lady Elizabeth it's nice to see you again" now all that James thought about was how much he wanted to smash Sebastian pretty little face in... Lizzy Spoke up smiling widely as usual "I am wonderful thank you for asking Sebastian" Raising an eyebrow Emma smelled the cup "Earl Grey?"Sebastian nodded before tilting his head"Is it not to your liking Madame?" Shaking her head Emma said "no no no, it's actually a favorite of mine." This caused Ciel to nod in approval "I agree, it's a favorite of mine too."Bowing Sebastian smiled again"as I thought, Lady Walker...there is a full pot of the drink, as well as sugar just call me and I shall refill your cup anytime you wish" he smirked at Emma slightly causing a blush to her cheeks, satisfied Sebastian stood beside Ciel "dinner will be ready momentarily" Ciel now looked over to Lizzy "Lizzy will you please excuse us, Lady walker came here to discuss some very important business...Maybe May-Rin is free?" Lizzy now slightly pouted before nodding "Okay Ciel, I understand I'll see you at dinner" she stood up bowing and excusing herself.

Ciel turned to James "so James.." out of his daze he now looked up "yes Lord Phantomhive?" Ciel was in no mood for beating around the bush, so he just cut to the chase "you're a demon like Sebastian aren't you?" almost glad with his straight forwad attitude James spoke up "Yes Sir, one of the higher classes, though I've recently left...said position"Glancing over to Emma Ciel spoke "is it because you're in Contract with Emma?" This causes Emma to be confused, after all she was new to all of this.

James shook his head "allow me to explain, When I first arrived in Hell, I had no recollection of who I was in my past life, or what exactly I was now...I simply knew my name, according to other Demons I've met its rare to not be able to remember who you used to be, so I did what most shouldn't do...Make a deal with the Devil himself. I did his dirty work, killed thousands of innocents did whatever he asked of me, and for ages I felt nothing...not even the most brutal attacks, and in turn I was allowed to come and go as I pleased... However when I met Emma...I hesitated for the first time ever...I was going to go through with the job however I wasn't fast enough...Because I hesitated, I believe Satan don't think I am loyal so he's after us...I managed to get Emma and myself out of there fast enough and when I said about somewhere safe we needed to hide Emma suggested here...Emma is strictly under my full protection, but I fear that I am not enough since the Devil wants both of our heads...I've been told that this is the highest form of protection here, Sebastian knows who I am because he hated what I did, still does from the looks of it, and one day someone very very close to him died and he blames me, however I didn't kill them, he wants my head but I ask for your assistance Lord Phantomhive, will you please keep Emma and myself protected?"

Emma looked down now feeling bad, maybe she had been a bit too rude to James "I suppose you can both stay, however I want conformation from the both of you that my manor not to be damaged, as well as my name and reputation...Keep him under a tight leash Emma he is still a demon after all, besides you're very close to Lizzy I'm sure she'd hate to loose such a good friend.." Emma only now nodded realizing the seriousness of the situation. Bowing and nodding James said "Thank you Ciel, no harm will be brought to your name nor your manor" spotting the opportunity Sebastian spoke "I'd be more than willing to keep James in check young lord" he smiled innocently, however, his intentions were particularly sinister, Spotting this Emma smiled but shook her head "as much as I'd like to give James payback for kidnapping me, I won't because he's as much in this mess as I am.." James bows before speaking into Emma's Ear "I'm going to go out for a bit make sure we're safe, maybe grab some of you other stuff...I at least owe you that much.." Nodding Emma thanked him "oh and, could you please check up on my mum, I get worried.." James understood and bowed before excusing himself"

Dinner slowly arrives and there is still no sign of James, Emma shrugs thinking that maybe he had just gotten caught up he was a Demon after all what's the worst that could happen? Sebastian now passes out the desserts explaining what they are "Tonight we have a Raspberry Roulade, topped with cream and fresh jam to accompany it" Emma practically drooled looking at the dessert "I've missed your food Sebastian.." With a smug grin and bow Sebastian said "if i couldn't make a simple dessert dish what kind of butler would I be?" with that Emma let out a giggle.

James now bursts through the door gritting his teeth. He had blood all over him and he had a burned hand, he could barely talk "E-Emma you're m-m-mother."Emma now stood up rushing over to his side and frantically looked all over him "W-What happened?! N-No nevermind, come sit down." Ciel looked at Sebastian "First aid kit, Now" Emma now tied up her hair with one of her ribbons to giver her better access, James pushed back ans shook his head "N-No I-I'll be fine Listen!" He grunted in pain dropping to his knees Emma beside him holding him. James looked at Emma "I-I tried to s-s-save her..."Emma was confused "what? What do you mean?"James looked down and shook still in pain.   

"your mother is Dead..."
