Alright, this is my first Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler fanfic so expect it to be slightly OOC. But then again this is only my second fanfic so please be soft on the judging… I haven't really dug in to the Kuroshitsuji society yet, so I have barely read any of the fanfics in this certain society, all I know that the large amount is shipping Ciel/Sebastian which I have nothing against. So without further ado, here's chapter one for all of you! :D
P.S. For those who have read my other stories, its about the same concept except Ciel is reincarnated in the modern world. And those who are reading Remembering the Memories, please don't kill me, I know I have that story to work on but I just need to get this out, thank you for understanding, I'll update it very soon when I finish another 1500 words...
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kuroshitsuji in any form, if I did I'll make Ciel taller than 153 cm.
Chapter 1: That Reincarnation: The Past
As soon as Ciel Phantomhive let go of his grip on the rail that was his life line; he died. His butler; Sebastian Michaelis was unable to save him in time, and finally Ciel Phantomhive have died, at the mere age of 13. Was it possible that he could have chosen the path to stay alive as he was? Possible, but his life after that wouldn't last too long, for after that his soul would be devoured by a demon.
It was a waste really that Sebastian have lost grasp of the soul of that century, a soul that all demons long to taste with their own tongue. It also doesn't help that he was starving himself, and truly he believed that it would be the moment that his meal have come. Tightening his fist Sebastian glared at the lifeless body of his master which lies in his arms.
Surely if he acted immediately he would have a chance, however the Young Master have let go of his breath the moment the water consumed him, and that gives him less time than what should've been. The Young Master was stubborn even in his death…
Sebastian decided that he would have to wait a while longer, a while longer for the soul of the child who will make him wait for two centuries.
Holding it as respect Sebastian carried the limp body of the Earl to where the remaining servant of Phantomhive where waiting, most of them tired and already out of strength.
"Sebastian!" Finny shouted as of seeing the approaching feature of the taller man. "How is Young Master doing, have he fainted…" Finnian started.
Sebastian reached where they were sitting; both Mey-Rin and Bald leaned in to see how the young master was doing, ready for anything from the butler, but certainly not this.
"I'm sorry but Young Master has passed away due to lack of oxygen," Sebastian stated in a straight emotionless voice. Much to the servant's horror the reality have not just yet sunk in yet.
"That's funny Sebastian!" Bald chuckled slapping Sebastian on the back. When the smoking man didn't see the head butler flash one of his famous smiles it them he started to doubt. "Oi Sebastian, you aren't saying the Young Master is dead aren't you?" Bald asked hesitantly.
Sebastian looked down not facing any of their faces, and that was when the rain started to fall; drop by drop.
The rain on that night was like an orchestra each drop reaching the ground with its own musical note that formed a master piece. Perhaps the only thing missing was the celebration and the smiles of the people. In its place were only the crying noises of the servants of the Phantomhive house hold.
Sebastian at that time didn't know what to think. He was still held by the contract and would need to respect his master's orders, even if they were stated a year ago…
A year ago Ciel Phantomhive has ordered his butler for future consequences. "When the time comes that I've died or you've consumed my soul I want you to inform Elizabeth immediately, she would know what to do," Ciel Phantomhive have ordered 2 years ago.
"Yes, my Lord" Sebastian murmured under his breath, somehow he felt a saddening feeling, his boring demon days would return again. And during the time waiting he would need to retreat to the demon realm until his master's soul comes back, or in this case; reincarnated.
The servants of Phantomhive headed to Lady Elizabeth's escape estate which lies a little further from town. However when Sebastian breaks the news to the small Lady, the fact was immediately registered.
"Wha- how? Ci-Ciel died?" Elizabeth mustered out in-between her ever flowing river of tears. And soon after the servant of the Phantomhive joined in crying like nothing mattered.
It was a fact that the Earl Phantomhive have known multiple people in many societies during his lifetime, however not all of them have mourned when knowing he have passed away during the great fire.
The Funeral was held a few weeks later, preparations were made and agreed on entirely by Sebastian and Elizabeth. An amount of people attended, most of them who came to mourn, but another group came to mock the Earl.
This event was held in a church, the same church that Madam Red's was held. For once Sebastian though it was quite cliché how they sang for God to accept the Lord's soul and give him a place next to the throne of God, it was impossible.
Ciel have made a deal with a demon, because of that he was forever banned from heaven, but Phantomhive would not however fall down to hell. As the bad deeds that Ciel have done however his soul was still pure as it was. So in circumstances such as these the soul would be reincarnated to gather more good deeds or bad deeds to enter the next realm after they died.
During the funeral Elizabeth and a number of others were unable to hold their tears as they said their final good-byes. It was fairly impossible, for someone they loved have passed away and that was final, no tears could be held in these situations.
"Ciel…" Elizabeth said, and that was all she repeated for the whole funeral, she was unable to muster other words. To say the truth the Young Lady has expected her Fiancé's funeral to be slightly different. She expected them to die together of old age and have no regrets in this world, instead here she was at the mere age of 14 looking at his coffin.
The next event was an event the whole group looked forward to. Earl Phantomhive did not have a successor therefor any of them were to obtain the secrets and treasure of the Phantomhive household. The man in black that was standing on the stage opening up the letter only to exam it with curious eyes, the order was unlike any other.
"Earl Phantomhive have stated to leave his treasures to the care of the servants of the Phantomhive household, however the treasures wouldn't be theirs, they will be the nation's treasure for in the future it will serve as the mark that the Phantomhive household had once lived on this land," The crowd waited for more but none were uttered, those were the last words of the last Earl of Phantomhive.
The Young Lord was buried next to Madam Red. It was a sad sight especially for friends whom were like family members; to witness two deaths in less than a year. Many names were engraved in the Lord's stone, but one name stuck to him until death, The Queen's Guard Dog.
Ciel Phantomhive
1875-1889
Earl of Phantomhive, Young Master, Beloved Fiancé
Queen's Guard Dog, Villainous Noble, Last of the Phantomhives
May you Rest in Peace
And that was the end of Ciel Phantomhive; however it was not the end for his soul, many sorrow and pains were still waiting for him…
2002 December 14…
On December 14 2002 a miracle was born. Was it the fact that the boy was a prodigy or was it the fact that the boy resembled nothing of the family he was born in? No, it was the fact that this boy had the most unique eye, the eye that shone in the moonlight and had a star engraved into it…
His mother, Hannah Spiritcave, was a beautiful woman. She had the brown eyes of hazelnut and signature green eyes like the prairie that most cannot copy. And being born within the family that owns one of the most popular brands she was an idol to most people.
It was a fact that his father, John Spiritcave, was one of the most influential business men in the country. This child's father had the black coal hair always neat, but occasionally messy when he's at home, and the warmest brown eyes that has the warmth of the hearth.
The family was a happy one, everyone was envious of them. Being in high standings in the society did not affect their natural family love in any way, this way indeed the family people look up to. Either way happiness does not last for long, because when there is white there is always black in the shadows…
On the night this child turned eight years of age a terrible incident occurred and John died unfortunately while on his way back home. It was a snowy night that December; however the only thing that interrupted the clean snow was the red that was splattered upon the roads.
This child and his father had a deep relationship they were family but also the very best of friends. It was a weird relationship indeed but somehow it worked out quite magnificently. But on that night while the boy was waiting for his father's present eagerly at home, the present he waited so long for was already crushed under the dead body of his father.
Before he get long off topic let's go back to the special child of ours. Originally this boy of ours was the bright child that was cheerful and smiled in every possible occasion, making him the loved child in class. However after his father's death everything changed.
Perhaps it was depression; we should never know however, it was a fact that after moving to a new school he was immediately hated. The boy's attitude may reflect a Prince's if it wasn't for his cruel attitude to every possible human being. Ah, may I add that, even if he was immediately hated, it was most of the male population. As stated before the 'Prince' image can come in handy when it comes to the female population.
There is always a group of people who prefer the cold and cool type; however the child always turns a blind eye on the squealing group of girls. But it was no wonder why he was given the name Ice Prince. It was a fact that one couldn't find his blue eyes anywhere and, blue eyes yes, it was an international school after all, but not his blue eyes. His hair color was also fairly interesting, it was the darkest shade of blue, so dark it could be mistaken for black.
This story will start when the child reach the age of 13. It was known throughout the school that at the age of 13 this boy could already attend high school and ace all of the programs. However his mother, Hannah decided it was better to let her son lead the normal life and stay in Middle School like most of the children his age.
Oh, we forgot one of the most important facts, this boy's name was Celso, Celso Spiritcave; Son of Rachel Spiritcave and John Spiritcave and officially the reincarnation of Ciel Phantomhive.
Well, I didn't know how this turned out, probably a good amount of very badly. I couldn't get Sebastian's attitude right, I really couldn't. We all know that Sebastian's real personality while not bound to a contract is still a mystery to most of us. And well, I guess I just really enjoy killing off my favorite character… that happened to Edward too (FMA). Either way! I really like the reincarnation stuff, I don't know why, but just the plain thought of starting anew just fascinates me somehow… There's another reincarnation fic on my page in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe so you people can check it out.
I don't know if did idea was done before, if it was, I apologize. But really I didn't mean any harm, just had my mind fized on the reincarnation idea, I feel like this society is lacking those kind of stuffs, except in Inuyasha of course...
Oh and the name Celso means sky, heaven, or heavenly, yes I did my research. It's only a plus that the name Ciel means the exact same thing, not kidding, I really did deep research. And the name Spiritcave is pretty obvious, Phantom equals to Spirit and Hive equals to Cave, I was lacking ideas.
Celso's mother, Hannah, is from a friend in real life of mine, she's best friends with another one of my friends named Rachel so I thought it was appropriate. And John, comes from another friend of mine, although I wouldn't say the origin since I might get killed by them.
