~Ciel's POV~
Lord Ciel, the Earl of Phantomhive, was a very successful boy at such a young age. He was the CEO of the widely popular Funtom Company, a wealthy noble of supremely high standings, and even the personal Guard Dog of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. Even at twelve years old, he managed to become more successful than many other nobles of his stature, and most definitely fulfilled the Phantomhive Family's role as the Villainous Nobles. He would do anything that the Queen asked him to, no matter how dirty or terrible the task may be, by any means necessary.
He was always joined by the head butler of his household, the infamous Sebastian Michaelis. Always clad in black, he always followed Lord Phantomhive like a shadow, always performing whatever task his master asked of him. He was the most trustworthy and loyal person you would ever meet, and possibly the most mysterious. No one knew of his past, or of his true identity as a fallen angel from hell… A demonic devil. He met Ciel three years previous, when he was being sacrificed for a cult ritual. They made a Faustian Contract, their symbols hidden behind eye patches and gloves, in which Sebastian must grant Ciel's greatest wish. In return for the Earls' vengeance for the tarnishing of the Phantomhive name, Sebastian would receive the young boy's soul.
Ciel couldn't help but allow flashes of disturbing memories from his time in the cult enter into his damaged mind as he sat across from his butler in the carriage. Sebastian and he were on their way to the destination of his next assignment from the Queen, this time in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan. There, they must infiltrate the prestigious private school of Ouran Academy. According to the Queen's letter, kidnappings have been occurring within its walls, and he must stop them, and find the cause. She was not pleased with the way he took care of her previous assignment, having to do with child kidnappings surrounding the Noah's Ark Circus in the United Kingdom. He burned down the Baron Kelvin's manor, with the children still inside, without even a second thought. Not only that, but he hadn't been the same since. He lost a lot of weight, and his PTSD had gotten worse as well. The other servants were almost scared of him…
"Young Master?" Sebastian cut hard into the silence like a knife cutting through melted butter. "Are you feeling alright? We could always go back into London if you don't think that you can handle it."
Ciel looked up at Sebastian, his eyes slightly glazed over. "I'm fine, Sebastian, really. Just because of what happened at Kelvin's, doesn't mean that I have become any weaker than I was before. You know that yourself, you don't have to worry about my mentality."
"But, you know that I will be." Sebastian grasped Ciel's hands lightly, acting as moral support as the memory flashes continued. I really do care about what happens to you, Master, and please refrain from thinking otherwise. I shall be by your side, until the very end."
Ciel smirked, feeling shy from Sebastian's contact. He didn't let go until the carriage finally rolled to a stop, and the door was opened by a kindly-looking Japanese man. He smiled, and assisted them upon exiting. "Welcome, My Lord, to Ouran Academy. I trust that you will enjoy your tuition here, and I wish you good tidings on this marvelous day."
Sebastian handed the man the money as Ciel took a look at his surroundings. The green lawns were littered with beautiful cherry blossoms, with some petals littering the ground in a somehow fashionable manner. Ouran Academy had a large campus, with its walls painted with a lovely pink hue. There was even hints of lavender as well, giving off a flirtatious feel. There was a stupendous clock tower, trimmed with gold and its face shimmering like crystals. There was even a glorious fountain, despite the slightly disturbing statue situated in the centre of it, surrounded by neatly arranged lily pads.
Sebastian appeared by Ciel's side, fulfilling his role as his shadow. "Shall we enter, My Lord?"
Ciel took a deep breath, and nodded. It was time for his next mission, in Ouran Elite Private Academy. Would this turn out as badly as his previous kidnapping mission?
Only time will tell…
