Hello, all! My name is , and this is my first fanfic…for this account. I have another account, but, sadly, the e-mail I used for that account was deleted. So, I decided to start anew! :D This is also my first Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) story! Oh, and it's a total AU. Warning: some characters can get a little OOC, but please bear with me. There is a reason for them acting a little bit wonky from time to time. Also, the characters are based off the anime characters. Not the manga. Anyway, without further ado, here is Akuma no Sabanto: Demon's Servant.

I do NOT own a thing. Thanks.

Red eyes.

Every night it was always the same dream.

Red eyes that glowed with mischief and pure, wicked happiness stared down at him from above, watching him. Always watching him. And there was always that feeling. The feeling when those harsh eyes stared directly into his soul.

During the first few dreams, the gaze hurt. It would always cut through him like a knife, piercing his heart and causing to tear through his body. It scared him so much, he would try to wake up...but the eyes wouldn't let him. The more he struggled to wake from his nightmare, the worse the piercing gaze became. That was until one day, when the eyes turned soft.

That piercing gaze that came from the presence—whatever or whoever it was—now calmed his originally fearful heart. He knew no harm would come to him as long as he kept staring into those eyes. He could just feel it. But who did they belong to?

That was the infuriating part.

The fact that he never saw or heard the presence upset him the most. Sure he could see the eyes, and he could sometimes even see that cold, knowing smirk…but never the full person. It was exasperating. He just wanted to know. Know who that person was staring at him, filling every dream with his presence.

He just wanted to know who his savior was.

Ciel groaned as his cell phone alarm screeched some annoying tune that he sure could be heard all throughout London. Pale white hands fumbled for the screaming phone, finding the offending object and slamming down to silence it. Immediately, the sound shut off leaving the dorm room quiet, save for his roommate's slow breathing. That kid could sleep through anything.

Ciel yawned and pulled himself slowly up into a sitting position at the edge of his bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes and trying to remember what reality he was in. That dream always seemed to make him feel that way.

Wait…what dream?

Ciel blinked. He was sure he had a dream, but he couldn't seem to remember it. The teen sighed. "As usual." He yawned again before sleepily grabbing his phone and checking the time. "Six thirty. Why do I do this to myself?" he mumbled before dragging himself over to his roommate's sleeping form.

"Hey, Alois, time to get up," he yawned, poking the boy in the back. He didn't move. Ciel rolled his eyes. "Alois, wake up. It's time for you to get ready." He glared as the form stayed still, his body only moving when he breathed. So tedious.

Ciel placed a hand on his roommate's shoulder, shaking him harshly. "Alois! Wake up, stupid! You have classes!" he yelled as he kept shaking his sleeping friend.

His only response was a moan and covers being pulled over blond tresses. Ciel slapped his forehead, officially awake and more than a little annoyed. "I told you not to stay out so late partying, you idiot," he hissed as he turned to the lit lamp on Alois's beside table. He looked back down at the boy with a glare as he posed his hand by the lamp's switch. "I didn't want to do this, Alois, but you leave me no choice."

Ciel shut off the lamp quickly, the small room quickly becoming dark because of the blackout curtains over their window. A loud, blood-curdling shriek that rivaled the alarm clock erupted from beside Ciel as he felt a hand suddenly cling tightly to his night shirt. Ciel sighed and quickly flicked the light back on, staring down at a wide-eyed and panting Alois. The blond was shaking a little, but soon recovered; shooting the boy he was clinging to a cruel stare.

"That was mean~!" Alois whined as he pressed his face into Ciel's stomach. "You know I'm scared of the dark!"

"You wouldn't wake up," Ciel stated simply, pulling the arms around his waist off and pushing Alois away. "I had to do something."

Alois harrumphed and crossed his arms childishly. Ciel held back the urge to roll his eyes. He was used to his roommate's stupid antics. "You were the one who wanted the wake-up call. It's your fault for not waking up to the alarm like a normal human being."

Ciel turned to his dresser and started pulling out his clothes for the day. He heard Alois move and turned to see the boy trying to wiggle back underneath the covers. Ciel sighed and lightly tossed one of his heavier school books at the blond boy earning an enraged screech.

"Would you cut it out? I'm tired!" growled Alois as he flashed a glare to the raven-haired boy.

Ciel shook his head. "No. You told me to wake you up when I got up, so I did. You also said to not allow you to go back to sleep." A playful grin spread across the boy's face as he turned to look at Alois. "I'm just being a good friend, you know?"

Alois sighed and sat up, completely unhappy, but he knew Ciel would stick to his word. He was pretty stubborn like that…annoyingly so. "Why did I become friends with you again?" snapped the grumpy boy as he flung his covers off and went to his own dresser.

Ciel walked to his closet and pulled out his toiletries so he could head to the showers. "Because, as you said, 'You're scrumptious, Ciel. Let's be friends, so you can totally fall in love with me later…' or something along those lines," Ciel commented seriously as he looked over at his roommate.

Alois giggled, his mood changing as quickly as it always had. He may have been a hissing spider when he first woke up, but his mood usually brightened pretty quickly afterward. That bugged Ciel to no end. No one should be as happy as Alois was in the mornings. It was just wrong.

"I said that, did I?"

Ciel nodded. "Yup…when we were ten. You were quite a knowledgeable kid," Ciel noted.

Alois giggled again as he grabbed his own toiletries. "Still am," he quipped with a wink. Ciel shook his head and turned to head for the door. Slyly, Alois came up behind him, slamming the door as Ciel opened it and pinning the boy between him and the door. He pressed his body against Ciel sensually, rubbing his legs between Ciel's slowly.

He put his lips to Ciel's ear and whispered, "How about we shower together, and I can show you more of my 'knowledge.'"

Ciel didn't budge, his hand still resting on the handle of the door. As calmly as he could, he turned his head just enough to see Alois smirking seductively behind him. "Alois," Ciel said evenly. "if you so much as stick your little finger in my shower, I will kill cut your penis off."

And with that, Ciel headed towards the dorm showers unaccompanied.

A small contented sigh echoed in the bathroom as Ciel stepped into the warms spray of the shower. The steamy water rushed over his body, the sting of the heat washing away the sleepiness that still plagued his mind. He smiled and closed his eyes as the water ran in small rivulets down his face. He enjoyed the water for a few more minutes before grabbing his shampoo and lathering up his hair, all the while thinking back to that dream.

"Again," he murmured to himself as he washed the shampoo out. "What dream? I know I had one, but I can't remember the damn thing."

"Tsk. Tsk," came Alois's voice from the bathroom door. Ciel tensed. "Such fowl language, Phantomhive," he teased. "Maybe I should come in there and punish you for that." A squeaky giggle followed the suggestive comment.

"Sure…" said Ciel with ease. "…if you don't mind losing your manhood." Ciel chuckled as he heard the boy's feet slapping to the farthest shower. "That's what I thought."

Ciel heard the other shower start running before Alois spoke again, raising his voice to be heard over the water. "So, on a serious note—"

"I was serious," Ciel said as he kept washing.

Alois sighed. "Yeah. Whatever, but I was going to ask you about your dream, dill-weed. Do you not remember it again?"

It was Ciel's turn to sigh. "No. I only know that it's the same dream I always have even though I don't remember any detail. It's maddening sometimes, you know?"

There was silence. "What about that hypnosis kid I told you about? Drocell? He might be able to help."

Ciel's eye twitched as he finished rinsing off and stood under the running water. "You mean that weird kid with the Fleur-de-lis on his cheek? No thank you. Besides, didn't he accidentally put some poor girl in a coma because of his hypnosis?"

Alois's high pitched giggle echoed through the shower room. "Yeah! That was hilarious!"

Ciel rolled his eyes. "You are one demented kid, you know that? Seriously, the girl went into a coma! That's not funny, Trancy. I mean, I didn't know her personally, but I'm sure that was pretty traumatic for her and her family. Drocell was lucky they didn't press charges."

Ciel could practically hear the scathing look Alois was most likely giving him. "Really, Ciel? You're such a boy scout. It's not like he did it on purpose…and don't call me Trancy. I hate when you use my last name. Freaks me out. We've known each other for way too long for you to do that."

"Maybe a little too long," Ciel murmured under his breath. He quickly turned off the shower and snatched his towel up, wrapping it around his waist and stepping out. He grabbed his stuff and headed for the bathroom sinks, wiping some of the accumulated steam from one of the mirrors and staring at his dripping reflection.

He reached his hand up to his hair and pushed the damp locks away from his eyes. One sapphire eye stared back at him. Only one. He'd lost the other one a while back during a fire...well, almost.

Ciel lifted a hand to the completely white eye on the right side of his face. He sighed as he waved his hand in front of it, trying to see if the eye was working again. And, like always, it was still completely blind.

"That's become a habit, hasn't it?" Alois asked with only a bare hint of concern in his voice. He placed his things down on the sink beside Ciel.

The raven-haired boy didn't even look at him. "Yeah, a bit. I'm just curious if it will ever come back. I wish it would. It reminds me of…" Ciel paused as he stared at his face in the foggy mirror, his eyes holding back tears desperately.

"Your parents," Alois stated matter-of-factly.

Ciel nodded before shrugging off the horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach. It was fine. It happened years ago, so it didn't really matter anymore. It was stupid to cry over something so little, wasn't it? He was stronger than that, and he wouldn't show weakness in front of Alois. That would just give the pervert a reason to try to "comfort him" in a way that could only be described as sexual harassment. Ciel could definitely do without that.

"That and I hate wearing that stupid eye patch," Ciel chuckled, trying to lift the heavy mood. "It makes me look like a pirate."

Alois giggled and grabbed his toothbrush. Ciel did the same. "I think it makes you look even more dashing than usual! You already have that mysterious charm to you, so add the debonair pirate look and those adorable earrings you're so fond of and...damn! You're sexy as hell!"

Ciel shook his head with a laugh as the two brushed their teeth in companionable silence.

"You are such a damn creep!"

Several of the boys leaving their dorms stared in interest at the pair of towel clad boys coming down the hallway. One was stomping quite furiously with an angered and embarrassed flush on his face while the other was grinning happily and trailing after the other boy. The other boys shook their heads and went about their days, this being a common occurrence between the two eccentric roommates.

"Oh, come on, Ciel. It's not like you haven't seen one before! What's the problem with seeing mine?" Alois guffawed as he grasped his friend's bare shoulders. Ciel slapped the hands away quickly before tossing open their door and storming into the room. He tried to slam the door in the blond's face, but Alois caught it quickly.

"The problem, Trancy, is the fact that you had absolutely NO towel on!"

Alois rolled his eyes and placed his hands on his hips. "Don't call me that," he whined. "Besides, it's not that big of a deal, ya baby. I strip in front of you all the time. We're roommates."

Ciel took in a deep breath to calm himself as he grabbed his boxers and slipped them on. "Yes, but we usually give each other fair warning," he complained, tossing his friend a glare.

Alois shrugged the comment off. "Okay, I'm taking my towel off NOW!" Alois ripped his towel off, revealing everything. Ciel growled and whipped his head around to face his dresser.

"What?" Alois said with a devious chuckle. "I gave you warning."

Ciel snatched his clothes up. "Whatever, Alois. Just get dressed."

"Teehee~! I already am!" giggled the blond. "Look for yourself!"

Ciel didn't turn to see. He couldn't bear to see that little nimrod bare-naked EVER again.

Instead, he put his things away and grabbed his eye patch, ignoring the annoying pleas that resounded behind him.

Ciel paused as he brought the patch to his face. He smiled fondly as he ran his thin fingers over the soft, hand stitched black silk patch. His mother had it made for him shortly after the fire that had caused his lost sight. His thumb ran over the inside of the patch, the finger tracing over the golden words that had been carefully stitched inside.

You will see with both eyes again. We promise. Love You. –Mom and Dad.

Ciel sighed and ran his hand over the small star after the signatures. He always had been curious as to what they meant by that. The doctors that Ciel had seen had clearly stated that his eyesight would never return. The piece of white hot shrapnel that had smashed into his eyes had caused permanent damage. He was lucky to even have sight in his left eye after all that, but his parents still promised it would return. To be honest, he didn't really care either way. Sure he'd like it, but he'd rather have his parents back more than his sight.

Shortly after the fire that had taken his right eye, Ciel's parents had been killed. No one had ever told him how, only that it wasn't an accident. It had hurt Ciel to know that, especially since the police never caught whoever did it. All they knew was that the fire was caused by the same person who killed them. In the fire and the murder, the police had found white feathers spread everywhere. It was the killer's calling card.

Ciel knew his parents had enemies. Almost too many of them to count. He'd been kidnapped on many occasions when he was younger, and even after his parents' death there had been other attempts. He knew his parents had their hands in some shady business besides their legitimate business at the Funtom Toy Company they ran, but they had never told him about it. Probably because they thought he was too young to know about it.

Ciel ran his finger back over the small, upside down star printed inside the patch. The only real clue as to what his parents had been doing was probably this, but he still hadn't been able to figure it out. He had seen it a lot around his mansion before it burned down, but he couldn't find it anywhere else. No library, website, or other information source had anything on the strange star. He had even tried asking the servants of his manor before he came to Victory, the college he was now attending. If they knew anything, they sure could hide it well. Eventually, Ciel gave up. If he couldn't find it, then it probably had no meaning. Maybe it was like their old family crest. Just something to symbolize their wealth and status as a noble family since the Victorian Age, but Ciel doubted it. It was just a feeling he had, but he knew something else was behind it…and he was going to find out sooner or later.

"Ciel~!" The raven-haired boy jumped at the shrill sound of his roommate's voice. "Snap out of it, or I'll come molest you~!" Alois tittered.

Ciel quickly shook himself out of his thoughts and tied the patch onto his head. "Stop saying stuff like that. You're starting to make me feel awkward," he snapped as he placed his favorite family ring on his thumb. He smiled as the sapphire glittered up at him.

"Oh, whatever. I'm so not making you feel awkward. You should be used to it by now anyway."

"Between sexual come-ons and the displaying of your man junk, I think it's safe to say that you're making me feel awkward…and, no one could get used to being told the things you tell me," Ciel stated with a frown as he turned to face his roommate. "I know more about your sex life and the one you wish you had with me to last me a while."

His eyes ran over the boy's choice of clothing for the day as he spoke noticing the all too short black shorts and the rather tight purple t-shirt that clung to the young man's frame. Ciel had to stop from palming his face as he saw Alois had shaved his legs…again.

"Oh, you're being over dramatic, Ciel~!" giggled Alois as he wrapped his skinny arms around Ciel's neck. The raven-haired boy sighed, gently removing his friend's arms from around him with a sigh that said this was routine. "How do I make you feel awkward?"

Ciel stopped from shimmying into his favorite skinny jeans to glare back over his shoulder at a rather intently staring Alois. "That's why. You're eyeballing me like I'm a piece of meat. It's creepy."

Alois giggled again as he watched Ciel slip his shirt on and put his infamous blue earrings in. "You've known how I've felt about you for a long time, Ciel. So why is it that big of a deal?"

Ciel sighed tiredly. They'd had this conversation a million times before, and it was starting to grate on his nerves. "It's a big deal, because, firstly, you are a guy and I'm a guy…" Alois rolled his eyes like it was no big deal. "…and secondly, aren't you already in a relationship with some older guy?" he questioned seriously as he grabbed his books and stuffed them into his bag.

Alois shrugged and slipped into his desk chair, spinning. "It's Claude, for goodness sake. He's more sexually open than I am…and that's saying something," he finished with a delighted giggle. "He's been dying for a threesome anyway, and he knows I'm partial to you. He wouldn't mind." He raised a suggestive eyebrow.

Ciel sighed. "No, means no, Alois. Go find someone else."

"Aww!" Alois pouted. "You're no fun, ya prude."

Ciel's eye twitched for the hundredth time that day... and it wasn't even seven yet.

"I hate when you call me that." Ciel grabbed his shoes and slipped them on, staring at his cell's screen. Great. He still had time to kill with this lunatic. Alois may have been his closest friend since elementary school, but that still didn't mean Ciel couldn't find him creepy as hell.

"Well, it's true. You've never had sex anyway. You haven't ever even fooled around, and you're nineteen years old! I mean, sheesh. That's just pathetic," Alois laughed with a wink.

Ciel sighed. "Thank you for reminding me I'm still a virgin," he said snappily. "It's not like I get enough of that from Professor Grell." Ciel's eyes unintentionally narrowed at the thought of that psychotic red-head teasing him. He should never have gotten drunk that night with Grell. Alcohol always had a way of loosening Ciel's usually silent lips.

"Well, you always have that woman if you ever wanted to try a shot at heterosexual relationships. You might as well get it out of your system."

Ciel gave him a disapproving look. "Lizzie has a name, you know? She's not that woman. We've all known each other since grade school. You act like she's your rival or something."

Alois turned his nose up snottily. "She is. She's my love rival. For you."

Ciel rolled his eyes. "Right. Forgot about that. You're planning on getting into my pants, and she's planning on marrying into mine. You two are so much alike…and what do you mean, 'get it out of my system?' Do you think I'm subconsciously gay or something?"

Alois glared at him. "Don't lump me in with that woman! She's trying to steal your heart from me!"

"And you're trying to steal my virginity," Ciel groaned. "You didn't answer my question."

The blond's chastising glare dropped away to be replaced with an evil grin. "Well~, yes! I think you're subconsciously gay…for me!" He threw his spindly arms into the air and laughed jovially while spinning in his chair.

Ciel rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He looked down at his watch and practically went giddy when he saw he had to head to class. He clamored up out of his seat on the floor and dashed toward the door. "I'll see you later you blatant homosexual."

C.L: So…What did you think so far? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Ciel: *snottily* It's so rushed…and why does Alois keep hitting on me! *eye twitch*

C.L: *glaring at Ciel* Well, excuse~ me, young master, but I have a lot of story I gotta pack into these chapters! So excuse me if I squish a lot of detail into these chapters! And, Alois…you don't mind hitting on Ciel, do you?

Alois: *giggles creepily* Oh, no! Of course~ not! *another creepy giggle*

*C.L. and Ciel gulp*

C.L: Um…I think he may be enjoying this way too much…

Ciel: *nodding* I agree.

C.L: *ignoring crazy giggling from Alois* W-Well, um…t-tell me what you think! Review, please, and I'll force Ciel to totally hug you!

Ciel: *beating off Alois with a stick* Wh-What?

Alois: *grabs his computer* Yay! I'll review! I want a Ciel hug!...and maybe a little more~! *giggle*

C.L and Ciel: *facepalm*

Ciel: *pointing to C.L* This is all your fault.

C.L: *shrugs* I'll sell your body for reviews Ciel...deal with it.

Ciel: O.o

C.L: Bye!
