The young lord lay outside his room. The summer air warm against him. Even with a yukata, it was bearable but uncomfortable. Smoke was billowing in the distance. The fire had to have been coming from the neighboring village. He had heard rumors of towns being destroyed by yokai. He wondered if his land would be attacked next. They must be terrifying. The thought amused him.
"Suneeku, have you found those who have been causing this mischief?"
"Yes, Ciel-sama. It is a tengu yokai and a fox yokai."
"Only them? How great they must be." The young lord smiled to himself. "I look forward to meeting them."
"Yes, Ciel-sama."
Ciel turned to him, frowning. "You're so boring." He stood up to walk to his room through the sliding shoji doors. Stopping before he closed them to say, "If someone comes tonight, let them through." His right eye glowing violet slightly before returning to its original cerulean color. He continued into his room after dismissing Suneeku. He was such a quiet and boring servant. At least he was obedient. He had found him one day in the forest up the mountain. The snake was being manhandled by some villagers. Ciel had saved him after realizing he was no ordinary being.
The young lord went to his futon, placing himself on top for it was too hot to crawl underneath. With a little tossing and turning, he found himself comfortable, and then finally gave in to sleep.
The tengu held a man by the throat, growing tired of his pleas, threw him into a nearby burning building which then collapsed. The villager's screams echoed through the night. He was the last of them.
"Now, now, Sebastian, you must do it properly." The fox approached the dark being. "I know you love the music of their screams and pleas, but you have to finish the job." Fox fire in hand, the silver haired yokai added to the crumbled building until the man was no longer heard. "Although I wish it was laughter instead." he pouted.
The tengu was not amused. He was never satisfied by this. Destroying village after village merely gave him something to do. It was only a few months before that the man name Undertaker joined him. He was a strange yokai. Bizarre was a more fitting term though. He had long silver hair and light green eyes. A scar went across his face, over the bridge of his nose. The being was clothed in a white yukata. Sebastian himself preferred his own black yukata which matched not only his hair but his large crow-like wings.
The darker yokai turned away from his companion towards the edge of the woods. It was the direction of the next village. "I'm leaving."
"Well someone is a killjoy. You should find the fun in it. Like me!" The Undertaker ran over to meet the tengu by the woods. "Are you already off to the next village? Greedy aren't we? I heard that's the village that belongs to the Water God. He's not there though. Instead, someone equally interesting is. Would you like to know?" The fox was good at obtaining information. He probably gathered it as he slaughtered the humans. The silver haired yokai was now drooling over Sebastian's shoulder giggling to himself. "Would you like to know whooooo?"
"Not really." Much to Undertaker's dismay, the tengu really did not care to know. He continued into the forest. The fox followed along behind him.
"Well I'll just let you know that it's a young lord. You will just have to figure out the rest yourself!" The Undertaker laughed to himself again. Sebastian really didn't understand or care why.
"That's good to know." It's always easiest killing the lords of the villages first. The villages always become more chaotic with no one to lead them. The tengu smiled to himself. Ah, the chaos.
It only took two hours for the two yokai to reach the village. They arrived late enough for everyone to have been long asleep. It didn't take long to find the lords home. It was at the center of the town and very large. Undertaker went off in a different direction, but as always, the dark haired yokai didn't care. To avoid notice of servants, Sebastian went around to the back of the building. He came upon a beautiful garden. It was well maintained, complete with swirling gravel, mossy rocks, bamboo fountains and koi ponds. Looking towards the house, he saw an entrance. Opening the shoji door slightly, he saw it was someone's sleeping quarters.
The tengu looked around the room until his eyes fell upon a sleeping boy. He looked no older than 15. The boy was very peaceful looking even with his ruffled hair and his disheveled blue, floral yukata. Almost cute with how he was sprawled across his futon. Sebastian ignored that last thought but curiosity got the better of him and he approached the sleeping beauty. Maybe he could just snatch the boy but still go along with destroying this village. While off in his thoughts, he was already leaning over the boy. He had such a nice complexion and long eyelashes.
"Ciel-sama, are you asleep?" Suneeku whispered while still standing behind the inside shoji door. He didn't want to awake the young lord in case he really was asleep. This did get Sebastian's attention but he did not move. He only looked towards the screen and waited and hoped the man would go away. He did not want to awake the boy either. After a couple minutes, the man left. The tengu yokai sighed in relief. Looking back to the boy, he saw that his eyes were open. Sebastian moved his hand to cover the boy's mouth but he was not quick enough. The boy grabbed him by the wrist. He was stronger than he appeared?
"Gotcha!" The boy was now sitting up and grinning at him like he just caught something to be proud of. The strange thing was that his right eye began to glow a vivid violet. "I am Ciel Phantomhive, the Lord of this village. You have been caught by me yokai. Now become my familiar!" The young lord took the tengu by the lips before he could say a word about it.
Okay I was hoping the beginning to be a little longer but ahwell. The chapters will be much longer and juicier in the future. I just had this idea and had to write it even though I'm pretty awful at writing. But again I say ahwell.
Please just Review and maybe follow and favorite if you're up to it ;D
Any ideas are welcome and advice too.
