Ashes Ashes
By: Cielphantomhive145
Hi! This is my second story...again, it will be a tragic/horror themed. If you don't like SebaXCiel and ClaudeXAlois then don't read...most of it is fluff anyways.
Warnings: Horror scenes and death (not character death). Also there is one scene that has sexual innuendos. (NOTHING BEYOND MAKING OUT AND SLIGHT TOUCHING, NOTHING BELOW THE BELT!)
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroshitsuji. I only own the story, "Ashes Ashes."
September 7, 2012
"CIEL!" Alois ran across the school yard screaming.
"Why is he so loud..." Ciel thought to himself while mentally face palming.
"Ciel! Are you going to Ash's party tonight?" Alois pretty well yelled at Ciel.
"You don't need to be so...loud..." Ciel sighed, he was already getting a headache. "For your information, I will be attending, only because Sebastian thinks is will be interesting."
"Ugh, You NEVER go anywhere without Sebastian!" Alois dramatically whined. He was really beginning to get on Ciel's nerves. Oh wait, he already was.
"Claude is always with you. So why can't I be with Sebastian?" Ciel pointed out, nodding his head towards Claude who was of course standing behind Alois.
Ciel felt someone poke his shoulder, he turned around to see who it was, ready to yell at them, until he realized it was Sebastian.
"Hello~" Sebastian said, leaning down to plant a kiss on Ciel's forehead. "School just ended and you are already irritated about the party?" he teased.
"Tche" Ciel turned away from Sebastian only to see Claude and Alois hugging each other completely lost in their own world. Quickly realizing how awkward the situation was, Ciel grabbed Sebastian's hand and began walking away with him in tow.
"I will see you both later" he mumbled as he dragged Sebastian past the two lovers. "Want to come over?" Ciel looked at Sebastian.
"I don't know...I have to get ready for the party. I have to do my hair..." Sebastian replied with a huge smirk on his face.
"Yes, because your hair isn't already fabulous" Ciel teased back.
"Well if I never fixed it, it wouldn't be as fabulous as you claim it is" he replied, tousling Ciel's hair jokingly.
Ciel sighed, Sebastian was extremely touchy feely. He especially loved to play with Ciel's hair. Ignoring it, ciel demanded, "Are you coming or not?"
"Oh, someone is a little grumpy today~ somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Ciel shot a death glare at Sebastian. Sebastian sighed, "Alright, I'm coming". With that the pair set off to Ciel's house.
Claude and Alois
"I love you," Claude whispered in Alois' ear.
"I love you too" the blond haired boy replied. They were so caught up in their snuggling they didn't even realize that Ciel and Sebastian had left.
"Claude," Alois pulled out of the hug, "do you really want to go to the party tonight? It seems as though Ciel and Sebastian both don't really want to be there..."
"Of course I'll go with you. If they don't come, it's their loss. Besides, in another week or two we will be really busy with school" Claude smiled.
Alois' eyes lit up, "YAY!" he practically jumped up and down. "Do you want to come to my house and we can head over there together?" Alois offered.
"Sure" Claude replied as he grabbed hold of Alois' hand. The blond turned bright red at this.
They headed off together in the same direction as Ciel's house. Alois only lived three block away from Ciel.
"We can walk by Ciel's house and him and Sebastian up on our way to Ashes house." Ash lived one block south of Ciel's house.
"Alright," Claude agreed as he walked with Alois to his house.
Ciel and Sebastian
"I'm hungry..." Ciel pretty much whined.
"So eat something" Sebastian shot back teasingly. Ciel glared at him; if looks could kill, Sebastian would have been dead...a long time ago.
"Tche, do you want anything?" Ciel questioned as he rummaged through his fridge looking for something that would appeal to his taste buds. He finally emerged from the fridge holding a tray of Chocolate, Chocolate, and more chocolate cake.
"That's not very healthy for you, now, is it?" Sebastian teased, "I think I'll pass" he smirked.
"Suit yourself," ciel replied as he hungrily opened the container holding the cake and began to eat out of it.
"You're going to become diabetic if you eat that many sweets" Sebastian pointed out.
Ciel glared at him; he had chocolate icing all over his face. Sebastian chuckled, "Actually, if even half of that cake ended up in your system, than I would be concerned. However, seeing as the entire cake is on your face, I doubt that you will become diabetic." Sebastian joked as he walked over to Ciel.
"Shut up" Ciel said as he frantically searched for a napkin to wipe his face with. "Ciel~" Sebastian called, causing Ciel to turn around in time for Sebastian to catch him in a giant bear hug.
"I need to clean my..." Ciel's sentence trailed off as he felt Sebastian's finger slide across his cheek, taking off some of the icing, Sebastian then put that finger in his mouth.
"Wow, this cake is really good. Maybe I shouldn't have passed up the opportunity to have some..." he sighed. Ciel looked up at him,
"Can I go find a napkin now?" he questioned awkwardly.
Sebastian chuckled, "Yes, you can," he watched as a now flustered Ciel stumbled around the kitchen looking for a napkin. When he finally found one he quickly cleaned off his face.
"You missed a spot," Sebastian pointed out, walking over to Ciel.
Ciel let out a frustrated sigh, "where..." he began trying to wipe his face with the napkin, only to have his hand grabbed mid air and pulled down to his side.
Sebastian leaned forward, "Right here," he leaned forward and kissed Ciel on the lips. A bright red Ciel froze at the contact. Sebastian stood back up, "It's all gone now," he smiled. Sebastian glanced at the time, "We will have to leave in ten minutes if we want to be on time." Ciel walked up and placed his arms around Sebastian's waist.
"Well, a lot can happen in ten minutes" he whispered loudly enough for only Sebastian to hear. They walked over to the sofa and sat down together. Sebastian quickly picked up Ciel and placed him on his lap.
"What are you..." Ciel's questioned was cut off when Sebastian kissed him again. Ciel reached up and ran his hands through Sebastian's soft raven black hair. Sebastian tangled his own hands in Ciel's hair, pulling him closer to him.
"Boo!" Ciel and Sebastian jumped at the sound of Alois' voice.
Ciel sighed, I was enjoying that... "Why are you in my house, Alois?" Ciel questioned angrily.
"Claude and I were on the way to the party and figured we should pick you up." Alois beamed.
Sebastian sighed, "How exactly did you get in here?"
Alois looked at him with big eyes and replied, "Well, Claude and I knocked, but there was no answer. So I walked around the side and saw you guys sitting on the sofa. I decided that you didn't hear so I tried to open the front door. It was unlocked so I let myself in!"
"That's classified as breaking and entering..." ciel stated agitatedly. He stood up from the Sofa, his hair a complete mess. He attempted to straighten out his navy blue locks, but it just wasn't working. Sebastian's hair, however, was still as fabulous as always.
Ciel looked up at Sebastian, "I suppose we should get going then?"
"Yes, seeing as we are obviously going to walk there with these two" Sebastian glared at Claude and Alois. This caused them to both shrink back towards the door. He stepped forward and grabbed Ciel's hand, leading him towards the door.
The entire trip to Ashes house was made in complete silence. When they four arrived at his door step, Sebastian walked up and knocked on the door.
"Hey guys!" Ash smiled happily, "I am so glad you could make it!" He looked over at Ciel and took note of his tousled hair. It was obvious that he had been making out with Sebastian. As Ciel walked by Ash muttered, "Impure."
Ciel smirked and turned to Ash, "Hey! I haven't seen you around school in a while! What classes do you have this semester?" He all but crushed Ash in a hug, causing ashes eyes to widen in shock, Ash sighed.
"Please go to the living room and wait there, I'll be with you shortly!" Ash smiled, heading to the kitchen to grab some drinks.
Ciel and Sebastian sat together on the love seat, Alois and Claude were on the three seat sofa and Ash sat in his own chair.
"So, are we the only ones coming?" Alois questioned, "I thought you told me that there were going to be a lot of people here".
"Yep, most of them cancelled for some reason...I don't know why though..." Ash trailed off.
No one came because you called all of them impure...Ciel mentally thought to himself.
"Let's tell scary stories," Ash suggested.
"I don't know any," Ciel stated dryly. Sebastian held Ciel's hand and squeezed it gently, telling him to behave.
"Me neither," Claude stated plainly.
"I do though!" Ash started, "Have you guys heard of the Malcolm estate?"
That caught Sebastian and Ciel's attention. Both of them were very involved with the news, they always kept up to date with the latest information.
"You mean the one that's on the hill top?" Ciel questioned.
"Yes," ash replied.
"I heard that someone was murdered there," Alois stated, "and that many others were killed there as well."
"Yes, yes, both of those are true. But this story is about how the house owner died" Ash grinned, "Sir Edward Stanley Malcolm".
The look in Ashes eye was outright creepy, Ciel leaned closer to Sebastian. The room suddenly felt a whole lot colder. Ciel noticed that Alois was clutched Claude's arm. As usual, Claude's face revealed no reaction.
"Sir Malcolm was one of the greatest men around. He was known far and wide for his popular toy company, Malcolm toys. The entire town knew that his house was the grandest of all. There were celebrations every week and everyone in the town was invited. However, a string of disappearances had been plaguing the town. Every evening after Malcolm's ball, a single person would disappear. Generally, the victim had gone to the ball alone, and left by themselves as well. People began to only travel in pairs or groups. However, the criminal began to take people in pairs as well. No one was safe, so people stopped attending Malcolm's weekly celebrations. During a city wide search for the victims, a group of police officers had warranted a search of Malcolm's house. The police officers had entered the house, but were never seen again. People began to suspect Malcolm was a satanic follower and had been taking people for sacrifices. The citizens of the village gathered at the police station and voiced their concerns. The police found evidence that concluded that Malcolm was indeed the criminal behind all the mysterious disappearances. Malcolm was hung and his body was burned right outside of his house."
"Tche, that's not scary at all. He got what he had deserved" Ciel stated plainly.
"I am not finished yet. As he was burned, the flames turned blue. Several people who were standing beside the fire had been burned by the shooting flames. When the police searched the house after his death, they found the bodies of all the missing civilians. Their bodies were completely drained of blood and organs. Police later discovered a room that had tub full's of blood and containers of organs. One of the young officers mysteriously fell over a banister and broke his neck on the floor below. To this day, no one has entered the mansion. The few who have entered, have never returned."
Alois, who was pale white and shaking by now, turned to Ash, "Did the people who never returned die?"
"I believe so," Ash stated, smiling. "However, I am rather interested in this house. I am willing to give you one thousand dollars if you spend one night in the house and tell me what happens."
"That's boring," Ciel stated, "Why would I do something like that. It's a complete waste of time."
"You are probably just too scared to go," Ash taunted, "We all know that you don't have a strong stomach."
Sebastian leaned down to Ciel, "Don't let him get to you, you don't have to do this is you don't want to."
Completely ignoring Sebastian, Ciel fumed with rage, "Fine, I will spend one night in that mansion with Sebastian, Alois, and Claude. However, you have to give us two thousand dollars if you want us to tell you what happens."
Ash considered this, "Deal."
"What?!" Alois jumped up, "I never agreed to go! You can go if you want but I don't want to spend the night in some creepy old mansion!" Claude stood up and wrapped his arm around Alois' waist.
"If we go, we will get five hundred dollars each. We can go do something fun with that money," Claude smiled. "We can go on a vacation during winter break".
Alois beamed up at Claude, "Really?! Alright, I'm in then!" The blond jumped up and down, "Let's go! It's only eight o'clock, we can go home and grab our sleeping bags and spend the night there tonight!"
Sebastian pinched the bridge of his nose; the ghosts wouldn't get them, Alois would cause both him and Ciel to jump off the balcony.
"Alright..." Ciel stood, pulling Sebastian up, "Let's get this childish sleepover done with." With that he left the house, Sebastian in tow.
Thirty minutes later
"You ready?" Claude asked Alois.
"Yep" Alois nervously smiled. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea the blond thought to himself.
Ciel and Sebastian were standing at the front door of the mansion, ready to open the doors.
"Sebastian" Ciel nodded towards the door; Sebastian stepped back and kicked the door open. The lock flying off somewhere in to the dark hallways of the house.
The four teens entered the house, Alois clutching Claude's arm, Ciel and Sebastian Standing calmly in front.
"Bye guys! Remember, record everything that happens in the notebook I gave you!" Ash stated as he pulled the doors shut; sealing the boys inside.
Ash
As soon as the doors shut I stopped smiling. Geez, smiling at the time is tiring.
"I will cleanse the world of the impure one by one. It is god's wish."
With that the boy walked down the hill towards his home.
Leaving the fates of the boys in the hands of the monsters that lurked in the depths of Malcolm estate.
