"Where shall we go now?"

"You know I don't much care. After all you and I already know where we are ultimately going to end up. I was always going there as a dead human or alive demon. I feel good somehow, like if released from a spell I was under for a long time."

"Yes, and in return for that, I have been put under an eternal spell."

"You are my butler Sebastian."

"I am simply one hell of a butler, for eternity."

"And as before there is only one answer that you will give me, you know it don't you?"

"Yes My Lord."

Sebastian leaped off of the cliff and started to plummet towards the ocean.

"HAVE YOU GONE MAD! I DID NOT MEAN THE OCEAN, SEBASTIAN!" Ciel shouts over the deafening sound of the wind whistling past his ears. He begins to squirm in his butler's arms as panic rose within him.

Sebastian smiles menacingly "Then you do care, Young Master. Perhaps as a demon, you can swim better."

The child shuts his eyes while curling his head into the butler's chest as he prepared for the harsh winter cold of the ocean. However, instead of ice there was heat, and then the wind vanished completely. While the boy pondered where the large body of water had gone, he became aware that his butler was currently walking. Ciel opens his eyes then as his curiosity gets the better of him and he witnesses Sebastian watching him with a most mocking expression. Then the bastard began to laugh.

"You look like a pill bug."

"Release me!"

"Yes, my lord" Sebastian puts Ciel down gently so he can get his feet under himself. Brushing himself off, the child looks up to take in his surroundings for the first time as is astounded.

They stood in a garden, or at least he believed it was a garden at one point. The cobble stone beneath his feet were that of a decaying chess board decorated in the classic black and white fashion. Cracks littered the stone and vines overgrew from the black rose bushes that seemed as if they were dominating the grounds. No other plant grew in the garden as far as he could see but when he saw the rich red liquid that served as the roses nutrition he began to understand. Cracks were made into the stone where the crimson liquid would flow into the plants like a barbaric irrigation system. Ciel began to follow the lines out of curiosity and soon finds himself standing before a fountain. Four horse heads erected from the center of the geyser, each facing a different direction. The rich red liquid excreted from the steed's eyes, mouth and nostrils.

"Welcome to my Manor, My lord." Sebastian bows and gestures for him to lead the way. "It has been quite some time, so my apologies on the manor's state."

Ciel followed Sebastian's arm where it pointed to the black abyss before him. As Ciel continued to stare he noticed an outline of something. Eyes narrowing, he tried to focus on what he had glimpsed. It had been so long since Ciel had truly focused on something with both of his eyes, but was it a trick? The outline, there it was! No, it was larger then what he had once saw. Damn these eyes, he reaches up to cover one but Sebastian grabs it.

"So quick to shun your eye after so long of covering it. Allow yourself time to focus."

Ciel didn't see it, but knew the damned butler was smiling that irritating smile. There was definitely something in front of him; he could see the definite outline. However… could an outline of a manor grow? The color in the outline began to lighten before him almost as if the manor was approaching them, instead of them approaching it. Ciel stumbled back into Sebastian in horror and suddenly he Sebastian's hands were upon his shoulders holding firm. A sigh of disappointment escapes the demons throat as he leans over the boy to whisper into the child's ear.

"Would you like me to carry you in? Those platforms must pain your feet terribly if you are stumbling-"

"Unhand me!" Ciel slaps the hands away and turns to face the butler. Reaching up, the youth pulls the tie his demon wore and yanked Sebastian close until they were face to face. "Don't coddle me, demon. It is infuriating."

Sebastian dims his smile, but his face still looks amused "Yes, my lord."

Ciel releases him roughly then looks back at the manor. "Tch, you have horrible taste." He begins to walk towards the manor thoroughly irritated. An amused smile plays upon the butlers lips as he follows the young lord into his home.

"We will speak of this now, take a seat Sebastian" Ciel called out, who was currently seated in an armchair fashioned with the shades of red. He looked small in the chair, but managed to sit in it elegantly. Sebastian was currently working on an arrangement with the black roses the boy had seen earlier, but had managed to add colors to it. The vase was the color of the sky at night, black bleeding into purple and a simple deep blue lace lined the vase which was tied off with a bow. The demon was uncannily good at tying a bow which perturbed the boy slightly as the man was a blasted demon, not a damn bow enthusiast. His thoughts are interrupted as Sebastian sets the vase on the end table closest to the youth and sits before him.

Ciel nodded then and straighten his back "Now then Sebastian, lets settle this matter."

"There is nothing to settle as it is quite clear what fate has dealt us. My master has become demon, therefore locking me into eternal servitude." The demon's eyes began to glow which matched the animosity in his voice.

"You are correct, I am a demon now. Not by choice, but a demon no less." The child looks down at his hands, and a small amount of rage laced into his words "we have a contract, and I plan to follow through with it, unless you have given up."

Sebastian looks at the child incredulously unable to speak. In that pause the child stands and glares over at him, his eyes flashing red demonically "We are in this mess because you failed to protect your master at all costs, or was that not you're aesthetic? You call yourself my butler, yet you still haven't asked for my forgiveness in any of this!" The boy begins to change before Sebastian's eyes as the boy's anger rose. Ciel grew taller and fangs began to protrude from his lips causing cuts to fashion upon the delicate flesh due to how razor sharp the canines now were. An almost muzzle like feature molded in deep aquamarine contorts the former child's face. When he speaks again, it sounds like an unearthly growl "Restore my humanity so we may finish our contract!"

In an instant Sebastian moves and is directly behind Ciel. With incredible speed he lands a hit at a spot near Ciel's neck that not only causes the boy to revert back to his normal self, but has him falling forward unconscious. Sebastian pulls his master's hand and the child comes tumbling back falling into his chest. He picks up the child, dozing now in his arms. "So… you take on the form of a dog, master…" The raven demon stood there in silence, staring at his master for hours. The demon could not remember a time he had been so utterly shocked and moved. He played with the idea that these were what "feelings" were. He admitted to himself that the young lord had grown on him. These last three-four years had been lively and if he dare say it, fun? He enjoyed toying with the young master and playing his games with him. There had never been a dull day at the Phantomhive estate. When he had taken Ciel to the Island, the child was asleep so he didn't see the demon take his time by taking a longer route to the distination. Then at the peninsula, even driven with madness with hunger, he hesitated and dropped his guard allowing the soul to be stolen. Ciel was right, he had seriously messed up.

I don't hesitate.

A memory shot through Sebastian's mind, when Ciel had told him that. Lost in thought, the demon carries the boy to his bedchamber because no other suited his master besides his own. After depositing the boy on the bed he took the child's hand and bowed before him.

"I have failed you as a butler, my lord. I cannot atone for my mistakes but will continue to abide by our contract. It would seem I got lost in my hunger."

"-en go eat…" The boy mumbles.

"Young master?" Sebastian asks, slightly amused the child had been awake listening.

The boy sits up rubbing his neck wincing "I don't appreciate you striking me, Sebastian." He glares at him.

Sebastian smiles, laughing almost "I saw something most annoying and moved before thinking, I apologize."

"Don't hit me."

"Yes, my lord," Sebastian smiles.

The boy sighs in irritation and looks Sebastian in the eye. "I order you to go eat, you're becoming messy and I don't care for it, very unsightly." The boy looks away embarrassed by his poor way of hiding that he cares for the demon's wellbeing. "Be clever about it, I trust you will?"

"Yes. My lord."
