I saw a story idea for this, or a doujinshi of this, or just a drawing, or something. I can't remember :( Anyways, the idea itself isn't mine, but writing out things I see helps me practice writing and getting better ;) Reviews please!


Sebastian paced back and forth along the dusty brick floors in the basement/dungeon, as far as he possibly could with the shackles around his ankles. The afternoon sun shown in through the bars in the opening of the wall, making him sweat just a slight bit.

"It has been five days.." he sighed. "And there seems to be no end in sight.."


Earlier that week, as Sebastian had been doing his daily chores, Tanaka approached him and informed him of what Ciel wanted.

"The dungeon, you say?" Sebastian inquired, disbelief coloring his voice. He was obviously shocked at his young master's wishes. Tanaka nodded.

"Indeed. You are not allowed to ask for how long. Be it one week or one year, you will stay there for as long as the young master desires."

Sebastian was bewildered, but he had to listen to his master. He was silent, trying to think of what to say.

"Of course," he began. "As you command, Tanaka. If it is the master's desire, then I shall obey."

Sebastian followed Tanaka to the dungeon and allowed Tanaka to chain up his ankles in the hideous, old, rusty shackles.

"I'm very sorry for this, Sebastian," Tanaka stated, without looking at him. "I do not understand the young master's wishes, but I must follow his orders just as you do."

"Do not fret, Tanaka. I understand." Sebastian smiled a tad bit at the old man.

Tanaka left the dungeon, with just Sebastian and his thoughts.

Now then, Sebastian thought. What on Earth could be causing the young master's recent bout of peevishness? I recall doing no wrong.

He chuckled to himself. To use shackles on me, of all things, he thought. All while knowing that using these on an entity such as myself is quite useless..

He stood for a while, brooding. All the same, this is rather tedious, isn't it?

Sebastian found himself rather annoyed at Ciel. He decided to play back.

You think that you do not need me, he thought. Even though you cannot do anything on your own.

He removed his white glove on his left hand, and licked at the contract seal, temporarily making the contract invalid, even though his mark on Ciel still remained. It glowed a light lavender color.

Shall we give this a try, bocchan? He thought wickedly.

Though of course, this means.. that for a short while, I will not be your butler, and I won't be under your control, meaning someone else will be your care taker..

Ah well, he thought. Let him see how effortless things are without me.

Honestly, he thought to himself. Humans are such troublesome creatures..


Whadya thinkk? ;D Next chapter Ciel will confront Sebastian and the REAL fun will begin! ;) Review, review, review! :3
