Author's Note: Before I begin, I would like to say that I had tried to get better at writing so I have really tried to make this one better then my last one. It was a little something I wrote during school, but I have edited it and fixed it a bit so it should be better then the last fanfic I had made. If this gets good reviews and people like it and want me to continued it then I will, if not, then I won't. Despite the fact that it may take me awhile to upload it, I will try my best. Please review it and tell me what you think of it.

It was late at night, not the moon nor the stars were out. Whether looking left or right, you wouldn't be able to see anything. It would have taken a miracle to see where you were going... Looking out, there was no one in sight. Everything seemed to be pitch black. But then a strange bright light could be seen from a distance. A fire had broken out.
"Egh... Don't worry father, we made it out... But I can't say the same for mother." A small child was carrying a grown man on his back, he looked frail and could hardly move let alone carry a man. "You're really hurt father... I will get you some help." Just then, there was some headlights heading their way. It seemed to have belonged to a truck driver who has spotted the two and pulled over near them. "Hey," he said, "y'all look bad. Wanna catch a right? I'll drop y'all at the hospital, not too far from here." "Thank you," the young boy nodded and climbed into the truck, resting as they drove off. He looked over to his father and faintly caressed his cheek, "I don't want you to die father," the small child had said, "I don't want to lose you... You're all that I have left..."
'Today one channel five news, a mansion that had belonged to the Phantomhives had burned down a few nights ago. We have found the body of the wife that lived there, but sadly, the father and his son's bodies were not found. We still have no leads to where their whereabouts may be or if they are dead or alive. All the rights that the Phantomhives had own will be given to the Middlefords until further notice. This has been Lau with channel five's news.'
A quick click of the remote had turned off the television set. "How unfortunate, for such a thing to happen to a family," said a tall man getting ready to go to work. He goes by the name Sebastian Michaelis. He would sometimes allow himself to watch some news before heading off to work, though he usually doesn't, seeing how the world is there's hardly ever any good news.
Sebastian button up his jacket, grabbed his suitcase as he headed out the door. Sebastian lived alone in his condo, he didn't have a girlfriend and neither did he had any pets. Usually he would feed some stray cats but never had he took any home with him. Despite the fact that he was paid pretty well and he had a rather large condo he was used to having the place to himself. Sebastian worked as a teacher at Wormwood Academy. It was highly advanced school, since he graduated at the top of his class it wasn't hard for him to teach.
He lived quite close to the school so he didn't have to take his care, the only time being is when one of his co-workers ask for a ride. Granted he didn't mind it, he just wished they at least had the courtesy of not sleeping in and missing their bus.
As Sebastian made his way to school grounds, one of his students was sitting there waiting for him out front. "Hello Sebastian~!" Said a young blonde with light blue eyes, happily waving as he spotted Sebastian. Sighing softly, Sebastian replied, "Hello Trancy, you and I are both well aware that you are to call me Mr. Michaelis." Alois pouted cutely, "Come on Sebastian, we're friends! I've been here for how long now? When did I even call you by that name?" "True, and unless you want to be here longer, I suggest you take school more seriously," Sebastian teased the blonde. Giggling slightly, Alois changed the subject, "So did you watch the news today?" Sebastian looked surprisingly at the boy, he never expected Alois, of all people, to watch the news.
Going back to the subject, Sebastian then said, "You mean the one they showed on channel five this morning?" "Yeah that," Alois said as they started walking inside. "It's sad that they couldn't find the bodies of the father and son, I wonder how their family feels." As they made their way into the classroom, Sebastian took some thought into it, "Truly, how sad."
Once they were in Sebastian's classroom, Alois proceed and sat at his desk. Sebastian just sighed softly, "By the way Tancy," he began to ask, "do you know who the Phantomhives are?" Nevertheless, Sebastian may be intelligent he never thought of knowing anyone in the higher ups. He didn't actually find it all to important to know. "Yeah, I heard of them. They run the Phantomhive company. They make toys and stuff, but they're not very known around here, so it's not a surprise that you didn't know who they were. Also, I never in fact seen how they look, but I heard they're quite the looker. Maybe if you're lucky you'd have a shot with their son," Alois teased. "Trancy, you are well aware that I have no attention for a relationship," Sebastian sighed. "Besides, he's a male, why on earth would I be in a relationship with him?" Swinging his legs from the chair, "You'll never know," Alois said.
Moments later, the warning bell for first class rang. Both Sebastian and Alois had left to their classrooms as the day begun.
While their day had began, there was problems in another place. Things weren't going so smoothly for this child.
Mean while in the hospital, a young boy was sitting next to his father. He was a grown man who laid in the patient's bed. Although he seemed to be seriously injured, he was still breathing.
There was a brief knock on the door, a beautiful, red headed women walked in. "Hello, my name is Angelina Durless, but please, call me Dr. Durless. I'm the doctor that was assigned to you two. The young boy looked at the doctor with the one good eye he had, since the other was damaged during the accident. "Hello." Angelina smiled sweetly, then said, "Well it would seem that your injuries weren't serious, but I couldn't say the same for him." Looking back at his father, who laid in the bed, he slowly grabbed his hand and gently squeezed it. He then laid his head next to his.
"Is there anything you can do for him?" He asked. The doctor looked at the young boy, "Well if we do surgery on him there's a chance he will survive." Hearing this, the young boy looked over to the doctor, "You mean there's a chance he might survive?!" The boy seemed glad, but the doctor's smile slowly turned into a frown. "Yes, however..." "However?" Looking into the doctor's eye with his one good eye, the young boy did not want to hear the consequences. "Granted the surgery his life, however it's very expensive. We would need money to get all the necessary items we need. So we need you to pay for it." The young boy's eye widen, "You... want me to pay for it?" He was shocked. He didn't have anything. Everything that he and his father once owned was all gone.
"I do apologize, but this is all necessary to do the surgery. If you can not pay for it, then there is no way for use to be able to go through with it. If you are unable to pay for it I understand. Now if you excuse me, I have other patients to attend to." Angelina turned and headed for the door. "
"WAIT!" She quickly turned her head toward to young boy, "I-I'll get it." Giving a puzzled look, she tilted her head a bit, still looking at the young boy. "I'll get the money... I'll get it." Angelina looked at him, he looked so determined. She gave a warm smile, knowing that he wasn't going to give in. "Very well, he will be able to stay here, however we are only able to keep him living for so long, so I wish you luck." The young boy got up from his seat, "I will get it," he said. "I'll be coming back with some payments." Before she knew it, he ran out the door.
Sometime had pass and before we knew it, it was the afternoon. By then, the last school bell had rang. Sebastian stayed after to grade some tests. Just as he was grading, the was a loud BANG. The door slamming open, followed by a, "Yo Sebastian!" Sebastian quickly looked up from his test papers and looked at the door. As he sighed softly he said, "Hello Bardory."
Bard was one of Sebastian co-workers. He was one of the four deans that worked at the academy. There were four different houses. Them being: blue house, green house, red house, and purple house. Bard was the dean of green house while Sebastian taught at blue house. Even though Sebastian is usually busy after school, Bard would come by and bother him. Despite the fact that Bard didn't like children he was fairly excellent at his job. Even if he may not show it.
"How's teaching the brats Sebastian?" Sebastian didn't like the respect Bard had toward the children, but seeing how he would always bother him he dealt with it. He was glad that he didn't have to work with him since he worked at green house. "You know Bardory, they're not that bad. You should try giving them a chance instead of jumping to conclusions." "They're all brats Sebastian," Bard groaned, "they lie, steal, and take things for granted. I hate them and they're not worth trusting." "If you hate children that much, then why do you have this job?" Sebastian asked. "Because it pays well," Bard replied.
Sebastian sighed, "Not all children are like that." Looking back at Sebastian, Bard grew irritated, "If you ever find a kid worth trusting, then I'd like to meet them." He leaned back against the wall, "By the way Sebastian," he started. Sebastian started at him, wondering where he was going with this. "You've been here all day, lets go out drinking tonight!" Raising an eyebrow and he looked up from his work, Sebastian thought this man was surely joking. But no, oh no. Bard wouldn't joke around when it came to alcohol. "You know I don't drink Bardory." Bard ran to Sebastian, looking at him head on. "What are you, a women!?" He yelled. Sebastian looked at the man and gave a small smirk, "No, I'm not. I'm surely you'll meet a women who's an alcoholic just like you." "That's cold."
"That may be, but you brought it upon yourself." Sebastian looked back at his paper work. "Now if you excuse me, I need to finish grading these tests." "Fine." Bard sighed. He turned and headed for the door but suddenly stopped. "You know Sebastian, you never do anything fun. Everything is the same old routine with you. Hopefully some day something will come and change that." He then left out the door. Questioned by his statement, Sebastian shook it off and continued with his work.
By the time Sebastian had finished all his work, it was late at night. Even if Sebastian doesn't usually stay this late after school, he got held up when Bard decided bother him. Of course, out of any day Bard could have bothered him he had to pick today. As Sebastian headed out, the weather looked as if it was about to pour. So he quickly hurried home. When Sebastian arrived home, his phone rang. He walked over and answered it, "Hello?" "Hey Sebastian~!" Quickly realizing who was on the other line, Sebastian softly sighed, "Hello Trancy." Usually Alois would call Sebastian after school, on the contrary since he had to stay late he forgot to turn on his phone.
"Finally you pick up!" Alois yelled, "I've been trying to call you for hours!" Sebastian quickly turned on his phone to see all the miss calls he got from Alois. A sweat drop dripped down from his head, "Sorry, I've forgotten to turn it on while staying after," he nervously said. "Whatever," Alois grunted. "By the way," Sebastian began to ask, "why were you calling me anyway?" "Oh yeah! I need you to get somethings for me! It's for a school project so you know it's nothing useless. Do you think you could do that for me?" Looking at the clock, Sebastian saw that it was about eight at night. Of course he could always go to one of those 24/7 stores. Giving it some thought Sebastian agreed to it. "Alright," he said, "I'll go get them, but you better actually work on that project!" "I will! I will!" Alois thanked him as they both hung up.
Sebastian then left to the store. While out, he saw a young boy out front. Although he didn't paid much attention to him, he went on inside.
He was talking to Alois on the phone while he walked in. "You have to be sure to get the purple one," Alois said. "Yeah, sure," Sebastian walked around the store until he managed to get all the items for Alois. He was at it for awhile. He picked up his phone and called Alois, "I got the things you wanted," he said. "Great, thanks!" Alois cheered, "Now drop it off at my house on your way home." Yeah, yeah. I'll go do tha-" Sebastian's words were cut off when he turned his head and saw that same boy who was in front of the store.
He watched as the young boy was talking to a group of men that appeared to be three times his age and twice his size. There seemed to be four of them. Sebastian continued to watch until the group of men punched the young boy to the ground and started to kick and punch him. "HEY!" Sebastian yelled, running toward them. "Sebastian? What's going on?" Alois asked, hearing Sebastian yell from the other line. The group of men turned to Sebastian but ran off when they saw him running toward them. When he got there, the men had manage to leave. He looked down and saw the young boy on the ground, beat up and bleeding.
"SEBASTIAN!" Sebastian flinched, he forgot that he was still on the phone with Alois. He picked to phone up to his ear, "Yeah?" He answered. "What happened?!" Alois asked, "I heard yelling." Sebastian just continued to look at the boy, not paying attention to what Alois was saying. "Sorry, but I'm going to have to call you back." "Seba-" Alois was cut off as Sebastian hung up on him. Sebastian kneeled down to the boy and held him in his arms.
"Are you okay?" He asked, "Can you move? Can you talk?" He examined the boy's body to see how badly injured he was. It was only a few cuts and bruises but it seemed that he had a pervious injury. As Sebastian looked at the young boy, the boy opened his eye, revealing a big dark blue eye. "Are you okay?" Sebastian asked again. "I'm okay," that boy said faintly. Sighing in relief, Sebastian smiled at the boy. "I'm glad," he said. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Sebastian. What's yours?" The young boy looked up at him, "My name... Is Ciel," he said right before he passed out in Sebastian's arms.
