Hello fans of Black Butler! This is my first fanfiction of this show, so I hope you enjoy it! This story will contain events from the actual show. This will be a yaoi/straight story. If you don't like it, don't read it!

Sebastian Michealis and Ciel Phantomhive were walking through the streets of old London on their usual weekly browsing day. Ciel walked gracefully in front of his butler with his favorite walking cane. Sebastian had three boxes in his hands as he stayed close to his young master.

"Have you heard anything on the Jack the Ripper case, young master?" Sebastian asked. Ciel kept walking, not looking back at his butler.

"Madam Red says that all of the suspects you had listed were not attached to the case at all. Most of them were merely relatives of the murdered prostitutes," Ciel answered with his tone flat. He raised a hand to his eye patch and itched underneath it. "There aren't many other leads than that."

They both suddenly heard a noise in an alley next to them. They looked over and saw that a young woman was being cornered by an older man. He grabbed her chin and thrust her against the wall behind her. She let out a scream that was instantly shut off by the man. The man suddenly raised his hand.

"Sebastian!" Ciel barked. Sebastian ran and caught the man's hand before it could collide with the woman's face.

"It's rather rude to strike a helpless woman, is it not?" Sebastian asked as he squeezed the man's wrist. The man cried out and crouched down in pain as he felt his wrist crack. The young woman scrambled a few feet away and curled up sobbing. Sebastian finally let the man go and he ran in the opposite direction. Ciel made his way over while Sebastian crouched in front of the girl. She flinched, feeling his presence. Sebastian touched her shoulder gently and she looked at him.

Her face was bruised a bit, but she was quite a lovely young woman. Her hair was light brown and long. Her eyes were a chocolate brown. They reminded Ciel of the dark tea he had drunk this morning. She stared at Sebastian with uncertainty before lifting her head completely. "Are you alright, Miss?" Sebastian asked gently. She nodded a bit and wiped a little blood off of her mouth.

"I-I'm fine, s-sir," she said silently, her eyes flitting back and forth from Sebastian to Ciel. She bit her lip and sniffed a little. "Thank you." Sebastian smiled and helped her up, letting her lean on him. Ciel looked on the ground and picked up a medallion that had a ruby in the middle of a circle of spiral diamond rhinestones. The girl saw it and took it from his hand holding it to her chest. "That's mine, sir," she said, putting it around her neck quickly. Ciel crooked an eyebrow and nodded once.

"Shall we go, Sebastian?" he said, walking away. Sebastian nodded and moved to follow him, but he felt a tug on his tail coat and looked back down at the girl. She was staring up at him in both fear and longing.

"Miss," he said, "do you have anywhere to sleep tonight?" She shook her head and clung tighter. Ciel noticed that his butler wasn't behind him and he turned.

"Sebastian," he said, "let's go." Sebastian turned to his master with an arm around the girl.

"Young master," Sebastian said with a smile, "this young woman needs tending to and a place to sleep. Might we bring her to the manor?" Ciel crooked his brow again and sighed.

"Alright," he said, "but only for as long as she needs to."

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian turned back to the girl and led her to the carriage. He helped her inside and nodded once at the driver, Finney. He climbed in after her and sat next to her across from his master. Ciel stared at the young woman.

"What's your name?" he asked boredly. She looked at him and bit her lip.

"C-Cassandra," she said timidly. She looked at him some more. "Aren't you the earl Phantomhive? Ciel Phantomhive?" Ciel looked at her, wondering how she knew. "I have a teddy bear that my mother got me from Funtom Inc." Sebastian smiled again and looked at her, an idea growing in his head as she continued to clutch his tail coat. He noticed that she was shaking. "I-I don't have it anymore, though." She looked down at her feet. Ciel grunted once in reply.

They soon got to the manor and Sebastian helped Cassandra out of the car. She stayed close to him as Ciel lead them inside.

"Make some tea, Sebastian," Ciel said as he made his way to his study. Sebastian bowed and walked over towards the kitchen, Cassandra following close behind. When they got to the kitchen, Sebastian smiled to see the cook, Bardroy, humming silently to himself and frying some eggs.

"Bardroy," Sebastian said, making him jump. "Would you be so kind as to get the tea set for me?" Bard turned, nodding, and then he saw Cassandra.

"Who's she, Sebastian?" he asked. Sebastian, just noticing that Cassandra had followed him, turned to look at her. He smiled again.

"This is Cassandra," he said. "She will be staying with us until further notice." Cassandra looked up at him and stared at his eyes, loving their beautiful auburn color. Sebastian walked over to the kettle on the stove and made some hot water. He then prepared the rest of the tea and put it all on his tray. Cassandra waited patiently by the door as he walked over. "Cassandra?" he asked. She looked up at him. "Is there something you require?"

"N-no," she replied. "I just don't want to be alone. Am I disturbing you, sir?"

"Of course not," Sebastian replied as he went upstairs and she followed. He gave the tea to Ciel and was waved away immediately. Cassandra waited for him outside. "Cassandra?"

"Yes?"

"Would you follow me to our guest room? I wish to speak with you about something." She nodded and followed, sitting on the bed when they got there. Sebastian stared down at her and knelt in front of her undoing the buttons of her shirt. She blushed and her eyes widened as he proceeded to remove her shirt.

On her torso alone were all sorts of bruises and cuts. Her shoulder was covered in a dark purple handprint and her stomach had marks that looked like scratches from fingernails. Cassandra stared at him as Sebastian looked at all the marks. He sighed and set her shirt aside, grabbing a sleeping gown. He reached for the laces on her skirt, but she gasped and curled up, shaking. She didn't want him seeing the worse markings on her thighs and legs.

"I-I can do it," she said shakily. Sebastian sighed at her, but sat next to her, covering her with the gown.

"What exactly is your profession, Cassandra?" he asked softly. Cassandra looked at him and bit her lip.

"I-I'm a…" she looked away and tears came to her eyes as she whispered, "prostitute." Sebastian nodded once.

"So I take it that man was your owner?" he asked her, his tone not changing as she nodded. "He abuses you, doesn't he?" She nodded again and shuddered. "May I give you an offer?" She looked at him and nodded again. "How would you like to stay here? I'm sure I can convince my master to let you stay. You would only have to work. The pay is good and the conditions are better." Cassandra's eyes widened in surprised. He was offering her a home. "You may serve who you like, but only one."

"You," she said immediately. Sebastian looked at her and chuckled. "I want to serve you. You saved me. I owe you, Sebastian… uh… sir." He stared down at her.

"Are you sure, Cassandra?" She nodded vigorously. "Alright, then. Call me Sebastian." He got up and walked towards the door and turned smiling. "Goodnight, Cassandra."

"Yes… Sebastian," she replied before getting under the comforters and falling into blissful sleep.
