A/N: *Sigh.* Thank goodness I finally made a Kuroshitsuji fan fiction. I really, want this to be like 'okay' and all but pardon all the grammatical and typographical errors in my work. It's been a long time that I had read books on grammar.


Prologue

Sebastian Michaelis carefully took off the black eye patch covering his master's right eye. He noticed the pentacle sign, a brilliant violet that still was in the eye making him trouble slightly.

It was supposed to disappear since their contract already ended.

Or did it?

He smiled at the thought that their contract was still intact. Though he craved for an exceptionally succulent meal with the soul of the young Phantomhive, he still thought his hunger was not enough to eat this tainted soul. Indeed, things are getting really interesting.

"What are you waiting for, Sebastian? Is my soul not delectable enough to your liking?" came Ciel's impatient bark.

"No young master. It is just, our contract still isn't complete," answered the butler, making a deep bow.

Ciel looked dumfounded, delighting Sebastian as his master stood up, shocked.

"Not complete?"

"Yes, young master."

Ear-splitting silence erupted in the ruins of the setting. The before-hopeless victim now promised survivor whose vapid eyes before became uplifted eyes, but he closed them again, and grinned.

"I order you, Sebastian."

Sebastian smirked. He was bored, thinking of his outcome after his master's death but since he was going to be Ciel's butler a little longer, he was 'happy' that he will have to follow Ciel Phantomhive a little longer than he expected.

"Take my soul already."

Or so he thought.

Sebastian's eyebrows creased a little, but he quickly maintained his composure.

"Are you sure Young Master? If I do that, you won't be able to take revenge to those who took your parent's life."

"I'm sure of my decision, Sebastian," was Ciel's prompt reply. "If I keep putting vengeance as the main reason to live, then what is the point why my parents gave me life? My actions before... already made my soul dark... corrupt... grotesque... vile. If I continue living, I would only hurt the people around me. Hate. Hate. I dislike that thought now Sebastian. I don't want to etch that thought in my mind anymore. I-I- I don't want to hate someone, Sebastian!" He said firmly, to his servant's dismay.

Now, it was the butler's turn to be lost for words. He only stared at his master, his eyes no longer cool and calm, but a hollow gaze. He stood up and ever so carefully slapped his young master with his only hand, which propelled Ciel a good 20 feet to the aged dust-fed wall.

"My, my, my," Sebastian sneered as the little Phantomhive struggled to stand. "What happened to 'all humans are not meant to be trusted' statement before young master? Are you, by any chance becoming more vulnerable?"

The demon walked to his fallen master and offered to help his master to which Ciel refused. "And also, I cannot help you with your request Young Master... since..." he proceeded to carry his master with his only arm much to Ciel's annoyance. "Since the contract is still incomplete, I can't take your soul."

"But-" Ciel yelped as he tried to outgrapple his butler but to no avail.

"Now, we must go back to England Young Master. You have to take back everything that was taken from the manor and to re-establish the Company." He then effortlessly held his master like a nursing father and called out: "Undertaker!"

"Sebastian don't-" Ciel screamed as he made another attempt to be free but then white light enveloped the two and made them slowly disappear.

"That bookmark of his sure is useful, right Young Master?" The satisfied demon smiled triumphantly.

"I...I hate you." Ciel muttered crossly.

"Good. I'm glad to hear that," beamed the butler before they vanished out of sight.

A/N: Sorry for making them act like that. I know that maybe they're a bit OOC. Anyway, thank you for reading this. I planned this to be a bit longer but since I was out of time I had to make this chapter to a short prologue. Sorry. Please review!

I'll quickly upload the next chapter later.
