Sherry simply stared, baffled at the scene before her eyes. A woman, around the end of her teenager years was casually sipping sake, laid out on Miyano's desk [ 'Why does she have a office anyway, she's a student !' was what Sherry muttered the day before. ]. And that wasn't the queerest thing about her - she was wearing a laid-back, dark-coloured Japanese Yukata, and her hair was white. But you couldn't say it was an 'unnatural' sort of white, a beautiful white mixed with other colours that you couldn't find with dyes. But the oddest thing about the woman was that butterflies ... and fireflies ... were fluttering around her, semi-transparent and eerie, yet somehow mesmerizing - and the woman didn't seem to care, just continuing to sip her sake, undaunted.
After a short while, Sherry had overcome the majority of her surprise to query, "Why are you here, Hotaru ? You know that you're not registered in school ... ?" 'Hotaru' glanced up, but didn't seem shocked by the appearance of Sherry. "Ah." she said, like a thirsty person who had drunk water. "I'm actually one of the teachers here, you don't know, I suppose. I never really teach here. But I do visit." she added, waking up from her sleeping stance. "But why now ? And at Miss Council Student's 'office' ?" Hotaru replied, "Mmmm. She's an old acquaintance of mine, I visit her often." Sherry narrowed her eyes at Hotaru, "You're one of my childhood friends, and I know you're not lying about Miss Council Student ... but you're hiding something, aren't you." Hotaru chuckled a little before answering, "Well I guess so, you've been sharp always, from the time I met you. But what you say is half the truth." Hotaru's voice grew more serious as she continued, "The two - or three, I should say ... transfer students are devil ... or demon contracters. Akuma No Keiyakusha in our language. I'm sure that 'Ciel Phantomhive' won't cause that much trouble, but beware of Alois Trancy. He's part of the Trancy family - the Queen's Spider, the one who destroys the 'troubles' ... he'll be a threat to you, if you reveal your identity -" Sherry interrupted, "Phantomhive and Trancy ... I've heard that before." Hotaru looked at her. "Of course you have. And there's Kishin too. Oh dear, look at the time. Farewell, for now - your Miss Council Student seems to have gone out cold." As she stood up, the butterflies and fireflies began to fly quickly, and Hotaru was disappearing in a swirl of different coloured wings. "Hey -" Sherry was distracted by Miyano to reply to Hotaru. But all she heard in Hotaru last words were to her surprise ; "Beware, Lady Sharon."
