A week had passed since the incident, there had been no sign of James since then. On occasion she would see the black smoke waiting at the border. Ciel had restricted her to the house, she wasn't allowed to go outside on fear that Satan would take her away and James' plan would be in vain. Whilst being in the house the funeral of her mother had passed, and she wasn't allowed to go as the smoke was circling the estate that day. Mocking her, taunting her because the devil knew how much she wanted to see her mother, but couldn't. Emma hated this she hated being stuck inside, she hated that they had made her stay in the house like a prisoner. The servants tried their best to keep her entertained, but it wasn't easy. She was in a funk and just wanted out of the damn house...she felt suffocated.

~Meanwhile in Hell~

James laid on the sofa in his old house, he was with his four other friends; Elliot, Caleb, Cara and Daina. They were friends ever since he joined hell. Elliot was closer to James than the others, he had green eyes and brown hair, it was scruffy and short just the way he liked it. He looked quite young for his age, though that helped him to get closer to the ladies. Caleb was your typical bad boy, he would be the one to take risks and still watch out for his friends. He had Dark brown hair that was slightly longer on the top and short at the sides, he also had bright blue eyes that would make any woman's heart melt from just one look.  Cara was the Mother of the group, she made sure the boys didn't get into to much trouble and if they did was there to heal and patch them up. She had platinum blond hair that was long almost touching the back of her kneecaps and white eyes to match. Daina was the older sister, like Cara however she was more fun in the boy's opinion, she was a party animal and loved to have fun. She had a strawberry blond hair colour that was shoulder length and slightly curly, she had golden eyes that would captivate anyone who looked at them.

Elliot looked over to James and sighed, "Dude, you're one lazy piece of shit and stop spreading your legs not everyone wants to see that.." he pushed James legs closed so that he could sit on the sofa "oh don't pretend that you don't like seeing my legs spread Elliot" James winked causing Elliot to roll his eyes at him.

Cara walked in and smiled looking at the two, "good, he is up and functioning again, now the only problem is trying to get you out of here alive....as much as I detest the thought I vow that Daina go with you" James now shook his head lighting a cigarette taking a puff and running a hand through his hair, "not that I don't like her but why not Caleb? I don't want Daina getting hurt during this whole process because of me..." Cara smiles leaning against the sofa, "we need Caleb for fighting power here to cover you, we will pack your things and join you soon promise" James sighed nodding in understanding. "Alright..."

~Back at the Manor~

Emma sat in the Library head in her book, if she wasn't allowed out then she would just barricade herself inside. She would make their life difficult because she was upset, she knew that they didn't deserve this but she couldn't help herself. She missed that annoying demon, more than she wanted to admit.

May-Rin walked into the library with a tray of tea and set it down next to Emma, "Earl Grey M'Lady?" With a sigh Emma looked at May-Rin "we've talked about this May....just call me Emma..." May-Rin nodded and spoke up "of course M'Lad-..Emma..." Emma gave a small smile nodding, "Tea would be nice..." May-Rin poured the tea handing it to Emma, "Uhm, if I may be bold....I can't help but notice you miss the butler..." Emma gave a sad nod taking a sip of the tea "I must admit I do....just a little bit, he has....been so nice in his own way, and now he's gone because of me..." May-Ron sat next to her patting her back "he'll be back Emma, I feel it in my bones yes I do"

Sebastian walked into the library with a smirk and looked at Emma, "Master Ciel has told me to inform you of our guests....The Dick of a butler and his Girlfriend"

Emma ignored his words and stood walking out of the library seeing James and Diana. Her eyes flashed relief, happiness upon seeing him before turning angry. James raised an eyebrow at her eyes going angry. Emma still had a book in her hand and she threw it at him, he frowned "what was-" she was in front of him hitting his arm. "You-Complete-Arse-James-Micheals!" She punctuated every word with a blow to his arm "You-Crawl-Back-Here-after-Weeks-and-Weeks-Without-a-Single-Word!" James tended and pulled her back eyes guilty. "Ow-ow okay I'm sorry! Let me explain..!" Emma looked up tears in her eyes which caused him to look in shock, "You made me worried about you ....you Arse!" She wiped away her tears looking down "I missed you...." this caused James to hug her, which surprised Daina as well as Emma but she didn't care she just hugged back...before reluctantly pulling back.

Emma's attention was now at the other woman standing there looking rather awkward. Her attention went back to James...cold again "explain...now" with a nod James went into the study where Ciel and Sebastian were. "Might as well say here since the others would want to know..."

With a sigh James began, "when I was taken Satan had me in pretty bad shape, beat me to a pulp....he was pissed beyond compare that's when Daina my friend here" motions to Daina "came to my aid and helped me escape, she then took me to my old house where I stayed with my other friends as I healed...the others will be here soon...we need all the help we can get"

Ciel nodded in understanding, "sounds like a good idea....however I didn't think my manor would become a demon hotel..." Emma looked up fidgeting before speaking "now....now that we have him back and more fire power....c-can I visit my mothers grave..?" Ciel replied with a monotone voice reading through papers "no.." Emma looked up in shock "wha-...No you can't keep me here forever! I want to see my mothers grave!" Ciel only sighed in annoyance "would you like to see James dead? Need I remind you that the last time you went out he almost died and you had a meltdown..."  Emma shook her head tears in her eyes as she stormed out of the room.

'How dare he? How could he do this to her?' That's all Emma thought as she sulked in her room, with a soft knock James entered, Emma turned away from him wiping her eyes. She really didn't need him right now...she just wanted to sulk and cry, maybe curse a few words at Ciel. She knew that he was only doing this for her safety but she didn't care. "so are you gonna go see your mums grave or not?" She sensed a smirk at his words and she turned around with hope. "Really? You mean it?!" James gave a small smile nodding. "Yeah...let's go before Sebastian finds out, me you and Daina are going...but I hope you realize we're not going anywhere near that church, don't need angels on my ass too...." she let out a soft giggle before nodding now determined.

They managed to sneak out and were now in a carriage on their way to the church, she miles looking out the window, she was happy for the first time in weeks. Daina looked at her and smiled "I don't think we've met properly, my name is Daina, and you must be Emma the girl James can't kill" Emma let out a little nod, "yeah, it's nice to meet you..." the air suddenly went awkward as she didn't know what to say, Daina was looking her over, "you wear a lot of blue for a female..." Emma nodded smiling, "it's my favorite color..." Daina now intrigued tilted her head "why?"

Emma smiled "well...Blue represents both the sky and the sea, and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, expansiveness, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, heaven, and intelligence.....it just suits my personality and passions...so I like it, it's also very calming to me...Reminds me of my mothers eyes too..."
Daina smiles "aweee that's so cute, now onto serious talk..." Emma raises an eyebrow tilting her head slightly.

Daina smiles wide, "when did you two start dating?!" Emma went a bright red and shook her head, "were not! I would never date him! I don't even like him! Have you seen him..?!" It was harsh...but just as she was telling them it was like he was telling herself too. Daina raised an eyebrow tilting her head, "you're not together?" Emma now calming her nerves but still had a slight flush to her face "no, I couldn't care less who he dates...kisses I'm not interested at all...." with that James spoke up, he had been hurt by her words...he really did like her but after that he knew she wasn't like him...how could she? He was a demon..."you don't care who I kiss? Well then I'll just kiss Daina then" this caused Daina to blush and Emma to tense, she spoke flatly "go ahead I already said I don't care.."

With that James pulled Daina into his hold kissing her, he held her cheeks deepening the kiss. Emma felt like she'd been punched in the stomach...she clenched her fists and her jaw. James pulled back with a smirk but it faulted seeing Emma's response, the hell was her problem? She just said it was fine and now it wasn't?! Daina looked back wiping her lips "he could kiss a dead fish back to life..."

The carriage stopped and Emma got out, rushing away from them. She hated this she hated feeling she stormed to her mothers grave and sat down huffing letting tears fall. James stood at the gate of the Graveyard watching her cry, he hated this...the look on her face...it crushed him. Emma sat there for what felt like hours,  she pulled out a little drawing and placed it on the grave, it was a picture of her mother. Slowly James walked over and knelt down beside her. "I'm sure your mother....would be proud of what you've accomplished Emma....you're really strong and you've made it this far..." Emma didn't say anything she just nodded. James then looked at the photo, "did you draw that..?" Emma gave a small nod again...."it's beautiful...." she smiled wiping her eyes "thank you..." he nodded giving her a soft smile before standing up "I'll see you at the carriage in five?" Emma gave a small nod before turning back I the grave sniffling. James walked off back to the carriage. Emma stared at the grave, "what  I going to do mother....? I -I actually like him mum...but he's a demon...how can I like him? It's not fair...he probably doesn't even like me he kissed Daina...." she slowly stood wiping her eyes and went to the carriage again, she didn't speak on the way home, she just hugged her knees.
