*So this is a new story idea and I hope you guys like it XD so the concept is pretty simple Sebastian as we know went to take Ciel's soul only to discover he doesn't have one but his body can't live without it so now he's fighting to keep his master's body alive and a lot of things happen during that time.
Don't I even get ONE comment saying this is a spoiler story because its already 2013 if you haven't gotten this far yet than stfu. . anyway this will have romance, drama maybe some horror.. idk all of the details yet but please review. :D*
Ciel Phantomhive was relaxed and laying back in a bench as his demonic butler was saying his last words as he was about to consume his master's soul. The contract has been filled it was time to pay the price.
"Are you sure you're ready now young master? It will hurt."
"I don't care Sebastian, take my soul.. carve the pain of my existence into my body and make me feel pain that I've never felt."
The demon nodded as he removed his gloves slowly and knelled down before his master. "It's been a pleasure to serve you my young lord."
Just as his eyes glowed crimson and his demon shadow began to show the older of the two opened his mouth his fangs starting to come out and leaned down to the boy's neck only to stop as a wave of rage and anger went over him. 'his body is empty... his soul is gone.'
The boy suddenly passed out as his body was not showing any signs of life, yes he had no soul but this.. this shouldn't be happened.
"Master? Master.. are you..." he held the boy in his arms walking through the blue, purple and black garden on the island they we're on slowly.
His body was limp and cold clearly not alive anymore but the demon didn't understand why.
Sebastian was dressed in his normal butler uniform as well as a long thick black winter coat as it was snowing outside, black leather gloves, and holding a rather small suitcase rather carefully in one hand.
Two loud hard knocks we're heard he awaited permission to enter the undertaker's shop.
Slowly the door crept open as the demon made his way inside and looked around holding the case with both hands now.
"Ehehehehe.. Well if it isn't the infamous butler in black, the head of the Phantomhive estate.. So what do i owe the pleasure hmm? Oh and where is you're little adorable bocchan eh? I look forward to seeing him." The creepy man in very long dark clothes laughed as he walked to butler greeting him with a sickly smile on his face.
He let out an annoyed sigh and eyes the undertaker while setting down the case on top of one of the wooden tables near the middle of the shop. "I have brought my master..."
Two soft clicks we're heard as the case opened and lifted as it did indeed reveal the small Phantomhive boy. His body was pale and lifeless no color left at all.
The undertaker did something rare, he actually frowned and looked slightly upset at this sight. "I admit I will be very pleased to make his coffin.. But what happened? oh.. my little thing got his soul taken and it looks like much before you got to him."
The demon nodded slightly and lifted his master's limp dead body out of the case laying it on the table. "I still have the contract symbol, but.. I can't feel him he's dead."
"Well of course he's dead; demon that's obvious and he's gone but as you know his body should've stayed alive and it did not."The undertaker gently slid a long black nail along the earl's face smiling once more.
"Well I still do not understand what you wish of me butler." the man shrugged and smirked.
"I may not have gotten...his soul but my master should've still lived I want you to bring him back." He sounded honest but of course silly and utterly ridiculous.
"Ah.. so you we're foolish enough to fall in love with a human? Well I can't do much without a soul and I can't use this body its gone."
((I wasn't really sure how to end this scene so forgive me. .'))
Sebastian sat up from where he was passed out a large bandage wrapped around his chest, shirt, vest and jacket were neatly folded a few feet away upon a small wooden table.
"I suppose that could've been worse..."
The demon rose grunting slightly as he was re dressed and walked out of the undertaker's shop his duty was over he knew he would never see his master again but he also had helped the earl's soul come back even if it didn't last long or arrive an a decent body at least he did that much.
A once lit cigarette dropped from the chef's mouth as he heard the news "Ah.. man Sebastian you're killing me!"
The demon laughed softly as he bowed to the chef and held out three envelopes for the chef. "Please make yourself useful and pass these to the others, I will hand Tanaka's his letter myself."
"..Letter? Sebastian you're gonna fire us right after you tell us that Ciel is dead!" He shouted angrily at the butler.
"I assure you - the young master would've never wanted you to be left so to say 'hi and dry'. Yes you are being terminated but you will find a large check for each of you on behalf of the phantomhive company to settle you for a few years as compensation Bard and with your skills I'm sure you will eventually find another job. I have sent out letters to the lady Elizabeth, the young prince Soma, Agni and all the rest but I do ask you not speak to the public about this Tanaka is going to be making a speech to the public."
The chef just nodded as he set the letters down on the table un aware that Finny and Mey rin we're sobbing as they had been listening from the hallway.
After Sebastian had finished this he returned to the world he came from to report on his assignment, demons we're mostly free individuals except for when a contract is not completed as intended than they have to report to the heads of council for a final report.
"Sebastian Michaelis was the name graced upon me by my master Ciel Phantomhive. Birth name is Lucifer my mission did not go as planned, another demon whom I was forced to kill took my meal from me, howe-."
"that is enough we are aware of you're situation however you made one fatal flaw in your little plan." No faces or people we're shown in a large dark round room as everyone there was in full demon transformation including Sebastian himself.
A soft clinking was heard as a demon much older and demanding of higher respect walked too Sebastian his large silver and black wings spread out as he did so. "When you asked the undertaker to help.. to bring him back with no soul however the respective body he turned into was a newborn human with no chance of survival. The boy known as Ciel Phantomhive will have to grow as a dying human and will most likely not make it past the age of twenty human years.. yet I still have not told you the exact problem."
Sebastian nodded though his body was filled with shock and slight dread. 'at least he's still alive, memories or not what i did was worth it.'
"well you're little stunt caused one more problem, he cannot ever regain those memories even a glimpse and we will be forced to consume his current soul. Plus since your contract as never filled and upon agreement than you have not been released to create another one."
"I was aware of most of this, the fact that he even came back was not something i had really planned on working."
"Tread carefully Lucifer." the older backed away now that this 'meeting' was over.
'well than young master, I suppose its time to find you all over again if i can...'
*Several years later*
Fifteen years have passed since this time, every minute and second Sebastian had used since the meeting had been used to look for Ciel with no luck so far but that was his only hope. Even if he only had five years left with the boy it was better than none and his own intentions we're a lot stronger than most.
The demon was back in a human form though walking through a town part of London Ciel used to love, he walked down a brightly light roadway where several venders we're trying to sell items most knock offs from what had been left of the Phantomhive company name.
"Authentic Phantomhive rabbit!" A man was shouting and waving his arms trying to attract crowd, which sadly was succeeding. "I have here the last five Phantomhive company stuffed animal toys that was an icon of them the rabbit! As you may know by now, fifteen years ago the Phantomhive company's head was murdered and he let the company die and we were lucky enough to find these last five!"
Those last few words got onto the demon's nerve of course people had twisted the death of his master and poured their own disgusting words to make a profit all humans were the same greedy selfish idiots... everyone except Ciel Phantomhive himself.
Just as he was about to walk by the stand he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his upper chest and clutched it tightly he gasped and panted hard kneeling to the ground. 'it burns.. my body.. he must be near I finally found him.'
A few people began to gather around. "Oh.. Oh i'm fine thank you, just.. felt a bit weird I do apologize." He rubbed his hands together nervously as he spoke trying to draw the crowds attention away so he could escape he knew Ciel had to be near that was it he felt his soul.
A girl in a wheelchair with long teal hair was wheeling herself in her black wheelchair as she went by the crowd Sebastian couldn't help but notice her.
She was wearing a long sleeved navy blue dress with flower and lace all along the sleeves and a pair of small black heeled boots.
She had soft curly hair that went down to at her waist (when she was sitting in the chair) one eye was covered with hair and the other was bright sky blue so amazing it looked almost fake.
She stopped and turned the right wheel so she could face the crowed staring at the Phantomhive rabbits, she truly was special but...she was a 'she'.
He gulped and laughed a bit to himself. "well.. it looks like my young master is now my young mistress." He approached the girl a bit nervously and smiled. "excuse me miss..I just wanted to say that you won't be interested in this show I assure you the products are a knock off and it wouldn't be worth you're time or money."
She looked up at him stunned at how blunt he was not to mention he was talking to her a stranger was talking to her.
"I..I know that you know, i'm not stupid." she seemed offended.
The butler bowed to her as the crowd began to gather a bit more and a few trying to push her out of the way to see the show which made his eyes flash crimson in annoyance. "I apologize for assuming such a rude thing." he grabbed the handles of the wheelchair suddenly taking her into an ally.
She struggled and tried to stop him starting to freak out. "No! Stop i don't have money i don't have anything just let me go!"
"I'm not going to harm you! I'm not, I... am.. Sebastian" he didn't think it through not at all always used to Ciel knowing just who he was.
"I only know that it's fake because I was the body guard and personal butler to the owner of the company himself Ciel Phantomhive I assure you I mean no harm." She screamed at the top of her lungs and a few people looked into the ally starting to run to her aid.
"I'm leaving." he spoke urgently but before he did he slipped something into her hand.
A larger man had pushed his way through four people seeing if she was OK and glared at her. "What were you thinking Robin!? You run off like a bloody stupid useless child and don't say anything!"
"I'm sorry father.. I'm sorry Vincent." she said as she began to cry and looked into her lap hiding a small box that the man named 'sebastian' had given her she didn't know why but she felt like he wasn't trying to hurt her but she wasn't sure what he was or who he was, maybe he was playing a joke on her.
"You stupid spoiled brat! Ever since you're mother went off and got herself killed you never listened and now what? You run off with a guy what did you think he could do? Get you pregnant you stupid little brat you-" 'blah.. blah blah.. blah.. yeah you would like it if i were pregnant than i'd replace you're stupid dead wife. Like you know a thing about me.'
The girl just kept nodding and crying though it wasn't out of emotion just frustration.
As they had arrived home to a one bedroom small cottage house the girl had kept the small box hidden from her father with ease and as she had wheeled herself into the living room she was so tempted to look at it.
"I'm hungry.. father please can we drop it?"
"Fine, I'm making soup and you're going to bed right after a bath." He stormed off which was normal for him.
Sebastian had been following them and now was hidden in a tree staring through a window at them, of course he couldn't be seen as he was in his raven bird form but he had not been able to do as he meant in the first place so it's not like his mission had been going well so far.
The girl named Robin sighed as she went up to the dinner table awaiting her meal and pulled out the small box from under her leg it had been poking at her side; enough to make a few small marks appear but she couldn't feel it so she really didn't care.
Knowing it would take some time for the meal to be done she held the box in her hands and smiled a bit to herself. 'I feel like I know him.'
A small blue glint was seen as she opened the box it didn't look like a ring box but it was, however the ring was very odd.. it had a thick base and even the gem was a bit bigger than most rings.
It was silver from what she could tell and the blue gem in the middle was an odd shape, as though it wasn't meant to be elegant or formal but special in its own way.
'it doesn't even fit on my ring finger what the hell...' She sighed disappointing and kept trying it on different finger, yes it fit in a way but it was far too big for any normal person's ring finger.
As she was about to give out she discovered it fit perfectly on her thumb, not sure why or even how but it did which made her smile. Robin's never had much especially of fancy clothing, she only had the dress she was wearing now because it was a gift most of her other clothes she had made herself or we're hand outs.
As she had went to the bathroom to take a bath after finishing dinner she still hadn't taken the ring off but was careful not to let her father see. Not that it would've made him say anything or like he would've cared either way but still.
Sebastian felt a bit bad like he was stalking her but she just had to figure it out, she had to start to trust him so he did continue to watch.
The girl used the handicap rails to lift herself to the edge of the tub leaning over to turn it on the bathroom, nor the rest of the house really seemed to be easy for her to get around nor did her father seem to be keen on helping her yet so far.
Robin smiled to herself as she held the ring to her chest and held it to her heart feeling a small engraving on the inside she hadn't felt before.
Suddenly Sebastian's chest started to get a piercing pain in it once more and his animal form faulted as he turned back into his human form falling from the tree he was hiding in and gasping for air as blood seeped through his shirt though it was too dark and in too hidden of a place for anyone to notice.
He lay gasping and clutching his chest trying to stay as quiet as possible; being found right now would not be the most ideal of situations.
'damn..'
She pulled the ring off and gasped as she peered closely at it reading the environment out loud "Ciel... Phan..tomhive?"
Everything went black as Sebastian passed out fully his body now limp and covered in blood.
**I've never wrote anything that wasn't a one shot so please tell me what you guys think XD**
