From within the brooding shadows the Ouran High school, the skies were paling with a light grey setting with the clouds and foggy day. Alois Trancy and his butler, Claude Faustus, grew nearer into the enterance of the Ouran High school. Alois was complaining about the trip seeing as how he vocally wanted to go back to the Trancy estate. Claude then kneeled down and held Alois' face to calm him down. "Young master, this is only the final day of the week to be attending this institution. You only have a few hours until the rest of the day is free." He calmed Alois with his words, and hugged him to bid farewell as he would resume his duties as an attendant. He then pinned the badge and walked over with the clipboard in hand and his pen ready to write down his own notes. 

He entered into the class room he was going to be attending. Oddly enough, as he entered inside the class, as disruptive as they were, the students including the teacher looked right at Claude. "Resume your activities, I'm here simply as a guest."

As the class continued running through it's agenda, presentations based on the Middle Ages were being presented. One of them, being about the Crusades, the Holy Wars. Claude sat down assessing and listening to each presentation. To be as honest, he was surprised and was very disgusted by those who chose to do this last minute. He knew who they were. However, one student stood out amongst the crowd. His short stature, his intimidating look and white hair, and then, his own smug appearance. Claude listened to how composed this presentation was, with powerpoints, significant battles, and even the end conclusions of this wars. He knew all of them, as he was "watching" from afar. What took Claude away from this presentation was just his view on how these wars were and the concepts behind these soldiers. Never in his "lifetime", had he seen a child who was quietly someone who had views as soldiers being pawns, and understanding the repetition of war. Claude approached the boy after the presenation and after the class was over.

For every civilization, there has always been some idea of the "end of the world" and an after life. Heaven or Hell, it didn't matter. There was always beliefs and cults dedicated into awakening or creating these theories that had the probability of surviving in the biblical text or even through history. 

One night, as Alois Trancy, the heir to the Trancy estate, was sleeping in his room, without any more worries, or any more disruptions, Claude Faustus, the butler to Alois, was sitting downstairs in the library. Picking an old text about these hellish beliefs, just as vicious as the Inferno written by Dante, he found out about a possible gateway in between the human world and the demon world. All that was needed was the sacrifice of someone who is signed to an "oath". 

Claude would never use Alois for personal gain, as he knows this is simply his own personal objective. But, in the back of his mind, he knew immediately who would work as the catalyst to opening this bridge to both worlds: Ciel. The blood in the hands would serve as the wine, to offer as a sacrifice. In order to do something like this, he will need to use a trap to get Ciel's blood.

He summoned the servants of the Trancy estate to listen to his idea: to have a masquerade ball, disguise the guests, and ultimately kill Ciel just to be sure to open up this portal. The servants then prepared a decorative invitation for Ciel to be sent to his estate, without Sebastian entering in to make a muck of this plan.

As the day began with only a fickle of sunlight and dark clouds, a storm was appearing before everyone. Eventually, the dark clouds began to rain and everyone immediately ran back inside the school, except for "the cool kids" who thought standing in the rain was always a smart idea. The sound of rain making contact with the school could be heard evidently. There was no escape for some, bringing back painful and morning memories from the past. For this particular group of damaged people, some believed it was as if the rain were tears of angels, long and gone. 

As Alois was covered by his butler's umbrella, Claude entered inside with Alois and hugged him to go off into his first class as Claude would go in as a guest teacher. Ever since the beginning, Alois saw Claude as not just a well-mannered man but a loyalist who stood by him, giving him a hint of some warmth behind that sadistic trait that Alois had. 

Claude then returned the umbrella back to it's original shape and then returned to the main office to check himself in. He signed himself in and was given the badge, the normal routine for any visitor. But Claude, in this case, wasn't a "normal" visitor. He then went to his class room that he signed himself up for and greeted the teacher along with the students with a simple nod as the teacher would formally introduce the man. Claude then sat down and noticed the boy who was sitting a few rows behind where he was. Instantly, Claude knew of this boy's background, one of a seasoned mobile suit pilot, a veteran who has taken his share of lives, and the defender to Lacus Clyne. With just a simple look, behind his yellow eyes, Claude saw everything of this boy's past and the events that led him to this point. 

As the class was leaving to go home, forget about studies, forget about their responsibilities but the ones back home, Claude approached this young boy toward the end as everyone was starting to pack up and walk outside. We walked with boy as he had his hat on and rain coat to go with it as well. 

As the sun was setting on another day in the Trancy estate, there was always a chance someone or something would get the really young Alois Trancy upset or as vicious as can get. Any little thing could set him off like a wildfire with an abandoned truck full of gasoline. Today was no exception.

As Claude prepared the dinner for the young Alois, there was a loud thump that was heard right across the hall. For him, sudden noises didn't scare him at all, but since he is working and serving for Alois, he knew it was an issue that had to be attended to. He turned off the stove, placed the food down on a large plate, separating it all, and went over to see what just happened. As he got there, he noticed a trail of blood leading to the upstairs hall, pouring from the columns. 

Like a "freak of nature", he jumped from the top of the tall door behind him, and shot to the other side of the hall, as if he was a bullet from a gun that was just fired. Claude landed down and inspected the area and the scene. He walked over to Alois, upset and pointing to them about how "worthless" and "godforsaken" they were. Claude then patted his back and as Alois turned, he was suddenly at ease. 

"Allow me, your highness." He said in a somewhat cold tone of voice. Alois was walked over to his room, was given a new set of clothes and sent him to bed soon after, without any arguments. Alois knew that Claude would be there for anything that happens, and that was enough for Alois. 

He returned to the scene, lighting the candles that were all around to give off as much light as it could go. He prepared a stretcher for the now dead servant. Claude could smell the hint of death from the body so he had to quickly take care of the issue. But just as he was ready to pick the body up, he notices that he wasn't alone. Something was odd, with the sound of a slash coming from behind him. And there stood a man with shark-like teeth and red hair simply giving a hellish smile, dressed formally and in red. 

All throughout the school, there was nothing but silence, students and professors in rooms, studying and doing their jobs as they go about their business. The halls were as quiet, with only faculty, student aids, or students being sent for whatever reason. It would be rare to meet a familiar face during those teaching hours, only if the student was sent home, two walking together, or by coincidence. But there would be no coincidence if anything was planned. 

Claude Faustus, the butler to the Trancy estate, did come by to send Alois home and escorted him to have his dinner, answer questions regarding his homework and then return outside, leaving him in the care of his servants. He knew there were special-cased humans, and some that could be reckless, or even relentless, all the right make-up to trick them. Claude was someone who was silently one of those cases: In fact, his appearance was deceiving as he wasn't human.

He walked back and found someone who had that special case. Someone who has gone through plenty growing up, and was given the opportunity to become something more. At the same time, he knew this person's history already, a possible person who was looking for a change in life.

The time was close to everyone returning back into class. Nutrition break, something that some schools had for students to receive that extra "boost" to concentrate in their classes, talk among fellow peers, and get a snack to eat if they needed one. Even when everyone was outside, joking around, laughing, conversing, and even trying to get assistance from professors, there was one person, sitting as a visitor to the institution, calculating, like a spider at the edge of his web. His name was Claude Faustus. 

As he sat back down and welcomed back everyone with a simple nod for everyone to listen to what the professor had to teach, he was simply sitting there, looking around and writing. There was now a hushed atmosphere, with conversation muted, only with minor sounds of pencils and pens writing notes. He notices that the students were a little terrified of him, the presence of a man dressed formally, well kept, and with his yellow eyes simply looking around was enough for most of them to get back to work. But one student in this class room stood out: a young girl who was focusing on what the lesson plan was. But Claude wasn't surprised, if anything, he knew of this girl's heritage, and her "connections" to an old world.

Secretly, Claude was there in the institution for more than just an actual visit. As the class walked out, all ready and anxious to get going home, away from this institution and away from their studies, he asked the teacher beforehand to let the girl stay behind outside about an offer from the Trancy estate. However, this offer wouldn't be of money, but for a means to a possible end.
