I don't own Black Butler.

But I own Hana, the OC. :3

Twisted Branches

Ch.1

Ciel sighed for about the fifth time at the four servants that he had and the one 'hell' of a butler who was always attached by his side. The lord rubbed his temple as he over thought about every single thing that was happening to the Phantomhive Manor and those who lived in it.

Sebastian looked over to his master and smiled half-heartedly, "Is something troubling you master? You seem to be a bit distraught today, more so than yesterday."

"It's nothing. Just thinking about business as usual." Ciel responded coolly.

The butler nodded, "Of course, sir. Just making sure."

"Sebastian, I've often wondered about your 'life'." Ciel stated firmly.

"What do you mean, master? Up until now I've lived here at the Phantomhive manor with you and the others." Sebastian grinned.

"Hmm, that's not exactly like I meant… I meant before you created a contract with me." Ciel probed his blue eye looking over his 'hell' butler.

Sebastian bowed as he grinned slightly, "I'm sorry, sir but unlike you. I've lived multiple lives. So, I'm not exactly what you mean by that."

Ciel felt a blood vessel pop in his head, "No, no, no! That's not what I mean at all. Nevermind, then."

The butler stood back up to his six-foot two height and poured his master some tea. He smirked to himself as he successfully irritated his young master.

"So, Sebastian, have you had any lovers?" Ciel straight out asked as he sipped his tea.

The butler was taken aback by his master's sudden outburst. Sebastian beamed at his master's curiosity.

"Why, of course. All of them, I wasn't interested in for 'that' reason. Just for the power that they wanted." Sebastian replied.

"That's a bit harsh. Even for you." Ciel responding sipping some more of his expensive tea.

"What are you saying, young lord? That you haven't experienced any sort of feelings for Lady Elizabeth? Could it be that you're asking for help in the love department? If so, why not just ask for help." Sebastian informed.

Ciel blushed thinking about Elizabeth, "I'm… I'm not thinking about her at all… in that way."

Sebastian chuckled, "It was just a question, sir."

Ciel waved his hand, "but you did say you would help me, no?"

Sebastian nodded, "Yes. It is my duty to help you in any time of need. As promised."

Ciel's blue eye widened as he thought an evil thought, "Alright then. Sebastian, I want to learn about women, but I don't want you to teach me. I want you to teach me from your experience with a woman from this era."

The butler cocked his head, "What are you asking me do to, sir?"

"Oh, I'm not asking. I'm ordering you to fall in love with a human girl, here in London." Ciel smirked.

Sebastian smirked evilly, "Why, what a very specific order you have given me my young master." He paused. "But, you cannot make anyone fall in love."

Ciel shrugged, "No? Are you positive about that?"

Sebastian nodded in agreement, "I am positive,"

"Then, you won't mind if I pick the woman do you?" Ciel asked.

The butler shook his head and then cocked his head once more, "What are you trying to configure my lord, if I may ask?"

The young master shook his head, "You'll see. Now, I have the perfect woman in mind for you. She's perfect for you." Ciel paused and pointed towards the door. "Go ahead, she's behind the door."

Cliff Hanger! I'm going to post some more later! I wanted to post something different.
