His Butler Human
Love wasn't what he felt for the other demon lying next to him. It was sort of like a mutual understanding. The demon had been in the Phantomhive service for so long he had grown accustomed to his presence. That was all it was, though the younger demon knew deep down out of sorts that it was actually love he felt for the other demon.
"Sebastian, I will be by your side, until the very end."
A deep chuckle caused his head to shift slightly from the current position on the other male's chest.
"I am the one that is supposed to be saying that to you, my lord."
"Yes well even so it is true."
Sebastian chuckled again.
Both looked so peaceful lying in the field of grass so green, sharing body heat to fend off the cold winter's air that bit at their flesh. Just because they were demons didn't mean that they would be unaffected by the cold weather. The scene was not to last though as a woman with long blond hair walked up the steep hill and stood in front of them, glaring.
"Why are you demons up here," she spat at them.
Sebastian looked at her as if she had gone mad but he couldn't help the smirk that flashed across his face as he assessed that the woman was human.
"What concern of yours is it," He snarled at the woman.
Utterly offended, the woman began a chant that Sebastian recognized. He tried to warn Ciel but it was too late. There happy time was shattered at the sight of Sebastian's body blowing into millions of tiny pieces.
Ciel jolted upright, trembling and panting harshly. He couldn't shake that image out of his head. That had happened 20 years ago and he was no closer to finding the woman that killed his butler and destroying his peaceful time than he was from looking like the 300 year old demon he is, instead of the 13 year old that looked back at him as he looked into the mirror; after thoroughly coating his face with the water from the sink he was currently standing in front of. The child eyes he had stared back at him mockingly and he would gladly change his form had it not been for the fact that Sebastian had liked him this way. Sighing, Ciel grabbed a towel off of the rack and dabbed his face dry. He'd find that woman and he didn't care if he had to destroy the whole town to do it. He knew that she was here. All his instincts as the Queens Guard dog told him that the insufferable woman was indeed in this village. All he had to do was snuff her out. His alarm wrung and he knew that it was time to go to work, after all he had been doing it countless times over the last 20 years and he didn't want to disappoint the waiting humans.
Ciel took his sweet time coaxing himself in the mirror. All the hurt and pain that Sebastian's death caused rushed to his eyes and they turned a steely red in his anger. He smirked at himself in the mirror and headed out the door.
The village wasn't far and soon enough he was running through the streets full speed snatching unsuspecting people and tearing them apart as he went. By the time he had gathered about fifty people the streets were once again covered in blood and Ciel found himself proud of the fact that he was once again big man in the crowd of humans. Once he had reached the limit of people he randomly killed in a day he sat down in a chair that had been placed for him on the outskirts of the town and watched as people franticly ran for their houses, fearful that they would become the monster's next victim. Ciel chuckled at all the little people and there screaming. Ah, life was very entertaining at the moment. Laughing gleefully, Ciel announced…
"As I said this will continue until she comes out. She knows who I am talking about. Pity you cannot cast her out yourself for I have no name to go with that blond hair and pail face."
Ciel seethed at the lack of response from the towns people and sat back to scowl at them disapprovingly. Unknown to Ciel and all of the town's people, a little boy decided that he was not afraid of the monster and he wanted to see him up close. When he had a satisfying look at Ciel, he dubbed that this little boy, no younger than him could cause all this trouble.
"Hay you, why are you sitting there that is for the monster."
"Monster, huh? Is that what I am referred to in this town? A monster?"
"You're no monster. You're a little boy like me."
Ciel gave an evil cackle and his eyes flashed back to red.
"I assure you I am the monster you are referring to." With lightning speed Ciel shot from the chair and had the little boy in a death grip.
"You are a brave soul for approaching me, but now you shall die."
The child whimpered and cursed his stupidity.
"Robert! Robert! Where are you?"
The little boy turned his head to try and see the face of the voice that he heard calling out to him.
"Ah," Ciel chimed as if he had just made a great discovery, "Your name is Robert. Let's say we have a bit of fun, huh Robert?"
The child winced at the way Ciel said it and was shocked to find his body speed to where he had previously heard his mother's voice. Ciel looked up at the frantic woman looking for her son and laughed loud causing the woman to turn and look at him fearful that she may be his next target. Upon seeing her son caught around the throat all rational though left her and she screamed…
"Robert!"
… So loud that many of the town's people turned to look at the demon holding onto the young boys' neck.
"Now, see here Mr. Demon. Don't go picking on the little kids 'cause you can't find some old lady," a young man commented while glaring daggers at Ciel.
Thoroughly offended Ciel tightened his grip on the child's neck.
"Picking on the little kids, huh? That is it I am utterly fed up with this; I want you to give me the old lady. She should be in her forties about now. I will wait by my chair, an only lady with strawberry blond hair. You will bring them all to me and I shall remember her when I see her. When the old lady I am looking for makes her appearance I shall leave this town with her in hand, and I shall never return."
When none of the town's people moved Ciel's eyes once again flashed red and the people dashed for their homes, remembering at the last minute that Ciel was not an ordinary child.
One by one the villagers lined up with ladies in their forties. One by one Ciel brushed them aside. He was about to do the same at the look of a lady with silver hair. He had wondered why they brought her to him when she clearly didn't have blond hair. He raised his hand to waive the woman and her escort off but stopped when he looked at the man next to her. His head was bowed and his eyes were down casted but he looked painfully familiar to him. Ciel jumped up from his seat, hand still secured tightly around the boys' neck as he regarded the human man in front of him.
"Lift your face and look at me!"
The male frowned but lifted his head to glare at Ciel and Ciel had a sense of daja vu in more than one way. Startled at the red eyes that glared back into his sky blue ones he released the boy. The boy scrambled to his feet, and took off to his mother, who had been watching the whole scene with worry. When Robert jumped into his mothers arms she squeezed him tight before scrambling way, as to not give the monster any ideas to reclaim her son. Ciel was so shocked that he didn't hesitate to reach out a hand to the man he thought he would never see again.
"S-Sebastian?"
To be continued…
