My contract with Sebastian has long came to a halt, I have no use for his existence anymore, so what happens next? Isn't he supposed to devour me; make me one with his demonic soul?

Ciel looked out the window of his manor and over his garden. He no longer has use for an eye patch, his eye had gone back to normal after his wish was fulfilled.

Sighing, Ciel turned away. If that is so, then why did he run away? I've no need to continue living anyway. My purpose and will to live has run dry. The queen doesn't even need my assistance anymore. Everything doesn't make sense! I don't wish to live anymore... Not if Sebastian can't stay by my side! I wish it not!

Suddenly angered, Ciel slammed his hands upon his desk, shaking.

"Young master?"

Someone knocked on his office door.

"I-"

"Go away!" Ciel cried, not wishing to see anyone.

Ever since Sebastian had said "Goodbye," Ciel had been unable to see anyone, much less eat. With Sebastian gone, life had just been different. There was no one to wake him up in the morning, no one to make tea or pastries... No one to come to his rescue, despite orders.

Gone, Sebastian left me behind!

~Two years later~

"You never seem to loose your remarkable ability to make interesting toys, Count Ciel."

Before Ciel stood a elderly man, dressed in a short tailed coat, black pants, and shiny shoes.

"My company would love to work along side with the Funtom company."

Ciel looked up to the man from where he sat and said quite dryly, "No fool would make connection with your dieing company. You would drag me down."

Looking quite furious, the man left. His pride stripped from him.

Ciel turned his attention to the mail before him, then shoved them off the desk; no matter how hard he tried and no matter what foolish thing he did, the Funtom company would not fall.

"Young master."

Ciel paid no mind to Tanaka as he walked in, head low. "The carriage is ready."

In the carriage, Ciel had his head leaned on the window and didn't pay any mind to Tanaka who watched worriedly over him.

Outside it was drizzling slightly. Not much rain was to fall today, this would be the most of it, but it made the day vary dreary. Everything was gray, not even the bright colors of peoples clothing could make the world brighter. Dull, the shops, the sky, the people...

"Sebastian!"

Ciel's head jerked up at the high pitched call of a girl.

"Sebastian, wait...." The voice faded away as the carriage furthered itself from the person.

"Stop the carriage!" Ciel yelled, swinging the door open.

Finny pulled on the reins, surprised as Ciel jumped out and ran off.

"Young Master!!"

Ciel pushed and shoved his way through the crowd. Being sixteen had given him height and some muscle. The people were taking forever to get out the way, they were just sauntering along like there was no one yelling at them to move.

At the end of the road he saw what he was looking for. A young girl with a smile on her face. She wore a bright yellow dress and someone was holding a white umbrella over her head. Ciel couldn't see the person, only their hand. The person was hidden by the corner wall.

"Seba-" Ciel tried to call out but people got in his way.

He was close, close enough to hear them, but not close enough to see.

"Sebastian, where should we go next?"

"At your wish my lady we shall go anywhere."

"But Sebastian!" The crowd broke and Ciel saw the girl again as she grabbed the hand that was holding the umbrella. "Sebastian needs to suggest a place too!"

The girl was looked up to the person with a slight pout and her brows were furrowed. Ciel wanted to get closer, but was afraid, was that person the girl was talking to-?

The girl took the umbrella into her hand, allowing the slight rain to dampen her dark hair.

"My lady, the rain," the person stepped forward, but before his face could be revealed, the girl pushed him back, "No, don't my lady me Sebastian. Where would you like to go?"

The person's hand fell and Ciel heard him sigh. "Anywhere my Lady wishes to go, I wish to go."

The girl's face softened. "What's wrong Sebastian?" she reached up to him.

"Do not worry my lady, I am fine."

The girl turned her head to the side, gold eyes sympathetic. "I want to go home."

The hand took the umbrella and the girl's hand. "Then we shall go home."

The girl smiled and followed along happily.

Ciel's legs started to move and he ran to look around the corner, but the girl and the person was gone.

"That voice..." Ciel's body started to shake, "That voice was..."

"Young master?"

Ciel turned around and saw Tanaka and Finny.

"What's wrong?" Finny asked, seeing Ciel's distressed face.

Ciel's eyes were distant as he continued to speak. "That voice was Sebastian's..."

Finny exchanged glances with Tanaka, unsure what to think.
