A young neko sat glumly in a large, kennel-like cage. He had dark blue ears, the right one drooping forward from a previous injury. His matching tail was thick and curled slightly on its own. Ciel. That was the name his mother had given him, named for his dark azure coat. He barely remembered her now. His eyes were two different colors, one purple, an odd condition that caused him to be blind in that eye, and the other an ocean blue. He was deemed, 'odd' by potential owners, and his hostile nature came from the brutality of the owner who had previously kept him. Now, he was used to the common curious onlookers trying to call to him. He would ignore the coos as they read the sign posted, "careful, I bite." After that, they would shrug and move on. Ciel sighed and lapped up some water from his bowl, hating how close it was to the cage door. As he drank, a tall male watched him from afar with peaked interest. He walked over carefully, intending not to frighten the young kitten before him. He had seen the sign, but paid it no mind as he stuck his fingers through the chain-link and pet the neko between the ears. Ciel was shocked, and he wrenched upward, hissing as he sunk his small, yet sharp, fangs into the man's hand. The male made no move or cry of pain, he just smiled gently. "You're a very fearful kitten aren't you?" Ciel growled as his fur stood on end. "Leave me alone!" The gentleman merely tsked. "Untrained too….there is no chance you will ever get adopted….which is why," A devilish smirk played on his lips, "I'll take you for myself." The neko sat, stunned, as the man left to get an attendant. The worker was sweet, but tried to get the male to chose another, proclaiming Ciel to be dangerous and shy. Even then, he stayed firm, wanting Ciel and only Ciel. She gave him papers on everything they knew about the neko, and he called a servant to get all the needed supplies. "Mr. Sebastian Michaelis, the adoption process is complete." Sebastian nodded, smirking. "Time to go Ciel." The hiss that erupted from his cage signaled fear and anger. The attendant sighed. This may take a while….
