A/N: Hey guys! Let me say in advance that I'm sorry if this fan-fic terrible, because this is my first time writing one. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
Disclaimer: I do not own Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji or any of it's characters.
Now, I think I've said everything I need too, so, without further ado, I give you the story.
Ciel's POV
I sighed as I set aside yet another useless document. I leaned forward and pressed my hand to my forehead, trying and failing to ward off the on-coming headache. I closed my mismatched eyes tightly, and winced.
"Young master, would you like some tea?," a familiar accented male voice asked from behind me. My eyes flew open and I jumped slightly. I had forgotten that Sebastian was even there. Sebastian chuckled, "Did I startle you, my lord?"
I looked up from my desk and glared at him over my shoulder. The light from the window formed a halo around his black-clad figure, highlighting every small movement. "Yes, tea sounds wonderful." I said through gritted teeth, pointedly ignoring his second question.
"Yes, and would you prefer Green Tea or Earl Grey?" Sebastian asked as the corners of his mouth twitched upward. I stayed silent for a moment and glanced out the window at my twin sister. She was sitting on a stone bench beside the fountain, watching the butterflies flutter around a rose bush. Her knee-length, glossy navy hair cascaded around her, some of it going over the back of the bench, and the rest pooling around her. She watched the butterflies with a blank expression, which wasn't unusual for her. She wore a black dress that had long sleeves and had sapphire blue swirling designs on the torso. On her neck she wore her favorite black lace choker that had a sapphire blue heart on it around her neck. Her attire was unusual for her, as she usually refused to wear dresses unless we were attending a ball or something of that likeliness. Nevertheless, my eyes softened as I looked at my younger twin.
"Earl Grey, of course," I answered much quieter than before. It was impossible to be angry with anyone when I looked at my sister. "And ask Sagenta if she would like some as well."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said, no longer trying to hold back the smirk. He placed a hand over his heart and bowed his head slightly, and then he vanished down the hall, leaving me with my thoughts and a head-ache that quickly faded away as I continued to watch my sister.
Sagenta's POV
I sensed someone looking at me, but I figured it was only Ciel or Sebastian, so I ignored it and turned my head to the side to look into the crystal-clear water of the fountain. I stood up and looked at my reflection. One sapphire blue eye stared back at me, the other was covered by my bangs, hiding the contract mark on my right eye. My navy blue hair flowed freely down my back and over my shoulders. My precious black lace choker hung around my neck, the sapphire blue heart glistening with the sun.
I turned back and again sat down on the bench to watch the butterflies flutter around the rose bushes. One particular butterfly caught my eye. It was a black butterfly with sapphire around the edges of the wings. I thought of how ironic it was, that something as delicate and fragile as a butterfly would live off of something as equally-delicate but dangerous as a rose. It reminded me of myself and my brother. All it would take would be one wrong wing movement, and the fragile butterfly would cut it's wing on a dangerous thorn, and the butterfly would fall to the ground, never to fly again. It would lay there, on the ground, waiting to die. But the butterfly needs the nectar to survive. So the butterfly risks it's life, to live, much like my brother and I. Ciel depends on three people in particular, two being his "pawns", and the other being me. I depend on him as well, as we are the only family the other has left. (Other than my little sister, Miyako, but she relies on us more than we rely on her.) Anyway, Ciel relies on myself, the Queen, and, of course, Sebastian. He may not want to admit it, but he relies on Sebstian more than anyone else. He trusts all three of us, but I don't. I don't trust the Queen, and I don't know why, I just don't. I don't trust Sebastian for obvious reasons. He's a demon, for God's sake! However, I rely on Ciel, and since he relies on a demon and the witch (that's my nick-name for the queen), sooner or later we're both going down. Then there's Miyako, who relies on both me and my brother, so she'll be taken down, too. It'll be a domino effect. I'm working on that though, and I might be able to hold up Ciel, Miyako, and myself when his two most valuable pawns betray him. In the meantime though, we're the butterflies, and Sebastian and the Queen are the roses. Oh, the irony. Trust and you get hurt. Don't trust and you feel hurt. And speaking of irony...
"Young Mistress, would you like some tea?" Sebastian asked from behind me, pulling me from my thoughts. I wasn't startled, I knew he was there, I just didn't feel like speaking to him at the moment.
I didn't spare him a glance. I kept my focus on the butterflies. "Yes, please. Tea sounds wonderful." I said with my usual monotone voice.
"Yes, and wou-"
"Earl Grey." I interrupted, keeping my gaze on the rose bush.
"Yes of course, I'll be right out with your tea, Mi' lady." Sebastian said, clearly annoyed by my 'unlady-like' interruption. He wants me to be 'a proper and sophisticated young lady', as he puts it. He turned to leave, when I spoke.
"No, bring it to my study. I'm done here." I told him as I brushed past him. If I hadn't have been talking to him, it would have seemed as if I didn't even see him there.
"Yes, Mistress." I heard him say from behind me as I walked into the manor.
I started my walk up the stairs. My study was on the third floor, so it was a sort of long walk.
'I wonder if Sebastian knows. Surely he can smell it...' I thought. Surly I smell like a demon, right? And I'm a cat-demon, no less. I know I'm only half, but still. And I know what you're thinking. "That's impossible, because Ciel isn't a cat-demon, and you are his sister." Well, I wasn't born a cat-demon, I was born human.
Flashback
"Mommy!" I screamed. The sight before me was absolutely terrifying. I saw my mother and father burning to death in my father's study.
"Ciel, what do we do?" I screamed again. It was getting harder and harder to breathe.
Ciel didn't respond, he just stood there, shock clear on his face. I realized that we weren't going to be able to save them.
"Sage, I'm scared." My little sister, Miyako, said from beside me.
"It'll be alright." I told her. I turned back to my twin brother. "Ciel, we have to go..." I said while tugging on his sleeve. Ciel didn't move a muscle. "Ciel, come on. I don't want to leave them, but we have to. Now lets go." I said.
"Ciel, please come. I'm scared." Miyako said from beside me.
He still didn't respond. I gave up and decided to drag him. I pulled him with me, but I didn't get very far. He wasn't being any help, and he was the same age as me, so it was kind of hard to pull him. I could feel the tears streaming down my face. "Ciel, please..." I said quietly.
Ciel didn't respond. He just laid there. Miyako was in front of me, facing Ciel, and she turned around to face me. However, she didn't look at me, she looked over my shoulder with a look of pure horror on her face. I tried to turn and see what she was looking at, but I was grabbed before I could focus on whatever it was. Ciel suddenly became aware of his surroundings, and he screamed my name. Then he was suddenly grabbed along with my younger sister, and I was hit over the head and knocked out...

I woke up in a cage with my brother beside me. He wasn't awake yet. I turned my head to the side and realized that only my brother and I were in this cage. "Miyako." I said quietly.
"Oh good, you're awake." I heard a male voice say. Suddenly, the cage door opened, and I was yanked out.
He pulled me over to a table and chained me to it. I tried to fight back, but he was so much stronger than me. "Oi, Raphael, the girl's awake." He shouted toward the doorway.
"Oh, good. Now we can start the experiment." This 'Raphael' said.
The first man pulled out a syringe from his pocket. "Now, hold still girly. This might hurt." He plunged the needle into my heart and let the thick black liquid ooze into me. The needle itself didn't hurt, it was the liquid that hurt.
I screamed as loud as I could. The liquid burned, and I could feel it as it spread throughout my body. I blacked out again, this time from pain.
End of flashback
After we returned to the manor, I found out that Miyako had been put in a cage that was in her 'age-division', and that she too had been injected, but she had turned into a full cat-demon. She said that they told her that she was 'more compatible' with the DNA or something. I also found out that they had tried to inject Ciel, but that his body was not compatible with it and that it had caused him to lose his memories of the injection and the hours surrounding.
I was about to start on the second flight when I saw Mey-Rin.
"Hello, Mey-Rin." I said.
Mey-Rin jumped and knocked over the vase that she had been dusting. I caught the vase right before it hit the floor, with precision that even Sebastian would be proud of. I placed it safely back on it's podium.
"H-hello mistress, and thank you." Mey-Rin said, moving a safe distance away from the vase.
"You're welcome, Mey-Rin. Just be a bit more careful next time, alright?" I said to her while keeping eye contact.
"Yes ma'am!" She said while saluting.
I just nodded and continued my journey up to the third floor. By the way, what was I thinking about in the garden? Oh yes, irony. Before Sebastian interrupted, I was telling you about how ironic my name was. Sagenta. Sagenta means 'pure'(Not since I was ten), 'light'(never), and 'in God's eye'(That one's laughable). I reached the top and turned right, then left, then left again, and went to the last door on the left. I knew the route by heart.
When I came to the door I got ready to walk in but I hesitated. 'There is someone else in there!' My mind screamed at me. 'It's probably just Sebastian. Calm down.' I told myself. It didn't cross my mind that he was behind me, in the kitchen, making tea, until it was too late.
I opened the door and stepped in, but the door slammed shut behind me. I tried to turn around, only to be grabbed from behind before I could. Suddenly I felt a rag over my mouth. I gasped and smelt something sickeningly sweet. 'C-ciel, h-help...' I went limp and then, all I saw was black.
Sorry for leaving you with a cliffie, but I couldn't help it. Anyway, what do you think? Good? Bad? Should I continue it? Leave a review and tell me! Oh, and I won't post the next chapter if I don't get at least one review. I don't care if you're telling me that I should go curl up and die, just review so I know that someone actually read it! I'll see you soon!
