That's Hell for you

Sleep On It

It had been a few weeks since Ciel had been introduced to his new home in Hell. Only a few weeks and already the child was showing signs of his transformation cycles; like becoming irrationally upset and aggressive over the smallest problem and the amount of time he spent sleeping had greatly increased. Ciel wasn't allowed to leave Sebastian's domain for any reason because it was far too dangerous for a cycling demon-ling to be out in the open. It would leave the boy defenseless due to the constant sleepiness, in pain from the growth taking place in his body, and he would be enraged over the disturbance but unable to do a thing about it. Yes, it would be much safer if Ciel stayed inside. Very soon now the small creature would be going into a sort of hibernation to preserve as much energy as he could for the painful growing. After the period of hibernation, there would be obvious physical changes like the standard monstrous look that all creatures of Hell had and there would also be the appearance of appendages from an animal that fitted the demon best. Sebastian dearly hoped that his master's likeness animal was not a dog, although he seriously doubted that. He also had an interest as to what type of looks and abilities his master would acquire. He himself being the second son of Satan had the wings of a raven, whereas Claude, the first son of Satan had spider like characteristics. Yes, he and Claude were brothers that would one day fight over the throne and crown of Hell and step up the new king. But as it was now, all he had to worry about the master that had once been so intriguing; the boy who was now beginning his hibernation period.

The moment Sebastian entered the boy's room, he knew the coma had begun and it was imperative that he was watchful over Ciel so that nothing catastrophic happened and that the boy had enough energy to not only survive, but to grow properly as well. Then perhaps maybe his eternal master would once again be something worth wile. Sebastian watched as the little one slept and began recalling when the child was human. Even though it had been a month at most, it seemed like it was years ago that he had been unwillingly written into eternal servitude to the new demon. He was quite rudely interrupted by an insistent banging on the door that, for some reason, refused to go away. Sebastian left his master with a last weary look at his sleeping form before walking to the front door and practically ripping the door off its hinges. For a moment, Sebastian was almost surprised to see Claude standing there with his normal marble face and glasses in their respective place. "I thought I disposed of you." Sebastian said looking almost disgusted at his older brother. There was a spiteful glint in Claude's eyes as he shot back, "Satan wouldn't let one of his sons die so easily and we're arc demons to boot; you and I both know it's almost impossible to be-as you put it-disposed of." The two of them stared each other down across the doorway before Sebastian broke eye contact. "Well, if you would so kindly excuse me, I must attend to my young master now." He said dismissively; and with that, he slammed the door shut in Claude's face.

Sebastian walked back into the boy's room to make sure he was okay and saw that his body was already making the necessary adjustments for the transformation process. "Ah, so he's going to be one of the lucky ones that sleep through the painful part." He thought as he watched Ciel's face relax; only to contort again as waves of agonizing pain wracked his tiny body.

Sebastian chucked to himself at seeing his dignified young master in such a vulnerable state. After a few hours, he had to leave to collect a soul for the growing demon-ling, who by now was probably famished.

He made his way back up to Earth to find said meal and maybe even see how the old manor was holding up. He thought about giving it a once over and a clean-up for old time's sake, only to find the mansion in ruin and the inhabitants long gone. The roof was falling apart with shingles scattered on the ground and some half hanging from their edges. Most of the windows were shattered and the doors busted in and dangling loosely on a single hinge, while others were completely gone. The paint was peeling on the now rotting wood and he could only guess what the inside looked like. He stepped into the threshold and nearly tripped over something. That something had short, wispy hairs still clinging to the skull, an old now very musty suit covering its body, and a cracked green tea cup in its hands. Sebastian realized with a small pang of what could have been shock that this was the body of old Tanaka; the old steward of the Phantomhive manor. He tore his gaze away from the skeleton and glanced around the main hallway to see the wall paper stripped and the walls had multiple dents and holes in them. All of the pedestals smashed along with the things they once presented. He walked down the destroyed hall and into the kitchen where he found the remains of Bard, the cook strewn all around the room. An arm was on the counter, a leg on the table and so forth. The oven was blown out and all of the cupboards wrecked. The old food and ingredients were spilled everywhere, the dishes broken and the silverware bent and tarnished. Sebastian picked up a fragment of one of the china plates and watched as a drop of liquid hit the dusty surface, lifting a hand to his face and sliding his fingertips under his eye. He felt a few stray tears and quickly brushed them away. He got up and continued his search through the halls of the once beautiful place. He went through every room of the house he could find save for Ciel's room, his office and the servant's quarters. The first of the three places he went was the servant's rooms and the first room down there was Finni's, Bard's, and Tanaka's room. Finni's body was on his bed, the head separated from the rest of the body and his entire bed, covered in his dried blood. The other beds were devoid of mattresses and their torn up sheets were thrown all over the room. He quickly left and went to Mey-rin's room and found it in ruin, but there was no sign of the girl at all, and there was nothing in his room but the corpses of the cats he used to keep in his room. He frowned and went up the stairs, but on the way up, one of his legs went through the steps by accident. He worked quickly to get his leg free, having to break more of the step to do so. Sebastian hurried up to the old bedroom and found blood all over the broken king sized bed and a trail of it that led out into the hall and he followed it out until it stopped at the office, the last place Sebastian had to look. There on the desk was Mey-rin's body, full of broken bones, obviously beaten before she was finally killed, although her glasses were still in place albeit a little chipped. Along with the blood, there were also traces of semen around the room, a sign that the poor girl was also raped sometime before she was murdered.

Sebastian had no time to reflect on the past as he began to smell as well as see little wisps of smoke filtering into the beloved halls and rooms of the mansion. He quickly located the fire that had started a moment ago; it was just started in the basement of the house and it would spread very fast in the old house. "Nevermore…" Was all Sebastian said as he catapulted himself out of the house and forced the mansion below him to implode and go up in a massive roar of fire. He looked down and saw a group of men, most of them looked to be in their twenties and one boy who looked about seventeen. Sebastian descended upon the lot of them and was disgusted to find that all but the teen were laughing. He walked up behind them and closed a hand over the youngest boy's mouth, holding him tightly as he tried to struggle and get free. "Please don't try to get away, it's quite useless and will only serve to damage your soul," Sebastian whispered and loosened his grip just enough to keep the boy from too much pain.

Just as he was about to make off with the teen's soul, one of the men turned toward them and alerted the other men with one loud, quick yell. Sebastian sighed and jumped back into one of the surrounding trees while holding the other in his arms, listening as the group threatened him and demanded that he give the boy; who was apparently named Benny back. He took his hand away from Benny's mouth and leaned forward to whisper into his ear, but Benny spoke before Sebastian could. "I know what you are, you're a demon. My parents and big sister were killed by demons a long time ago. You're going to eat my soul now, aren't you?" Benny said in a hushed tone. Sebastian smirked and gave the answer that he had intended to give in the first place as a final statement. "Your soul isn't for me; it will be going to my young master to keep him healthy. Thank you ever so much for your unwilling donation, Mr. Benny." And with that final sentence, Sebastian forced his hand down the boy's throat and felt around for a moment before ripping the soul from the body and letting the lifeless corpse fall in front of the group below. Carefully holding the soul in his hand, he blew what was left of the fire into the small horde of men, giving them a quick farewell and started his journey back to Hell with their tortured screams behind him. When he got back to the room where Ciel was, he found the boy tossing and writhing with growing and hunger pains. He was at the child's side in an instant and gently lifted him into a sitting position with one arm while lifting the soul to Ciel's lips with the other hand. Sebastian coaxed the soul down the unconscious child's throat before lying him back down. Sebastian looked down at Ciel's tiny form and thought back on what had happened at the mansion today, kneeling down at his master's bedside and watched over him again for a few more hours until midnight. Then he stood and left the room, closing the door behind him, he looked back, put a hand to his face for a moment before putting it back by his side and chuckling to himself. Sebastian turned and walked down the hall, saying to himself,"…And now I must prepare for tomorrow…"

Okay, so that was my first chapter of my first posted Kuro fic. I'm sorry it was so short, but it was kind of hard to write the beginning of this story. If anyone has any ideas, I would love you and I will also love you if you give me some constructive criticism and some reviews. But no flames, plz~
