The little Pianist

Chapter 1

Ciel slammed his fists against the piano as it was the third time he messed the notes up. "Of course I can't get it right if people are having sex next to my room God damn it!" he thought, Ciel was an orphan who worked for Madame's Red restaurant who actually was a brothel.

He was a waiter and also supposed to entertain the customers, together with a girl that played the violin. He had already been there for five months and Madame Red advised him that it would be better for him to become a prostitute but his pride wouldn't allow him although he was almost starved and beaten the whole time by Madame Red ,he didn't care ,he didn't want to lose to her.

Madame Red flew the door open and grabbed Ciel by the hair and held his chin up so that he was looking her right into the eyes."We've got a lot of customers ,so I suggest you make yourself useful and set the tables" She shoved him into the hallway "

And your piano playing better be good or else you will sleep outside again "without another word she slammed the door into his face. Ciel released a heavy sigh as he thought about the long night that was going to come .

He went downstairs and helped the other prostitutes to set the tables .Ciel always thought that prostitutes were just some poor unlucky women but he was wrong, a lot of the girls that worked there were doing it as a pleasure ,he hardly saw any pleasure in that .

Once he was sure that everything was set, he went to his room to get dressed. He put on his best clothes that he could have and looked at his reflection in the mirror.

He stared for a few seconds at his reflection he touched the eye patch that covered his right eye and winced at the memory that came to his mind" several masked men pinned him down and held his head so that he couldn't move, .Ciel stared in shock as a white blade came closer to his right eye"

Ciel almost jumped at the sound of Madame Red entering his room"Hurry up brat, the costumers are already here!" "Yes Madame, I'll be right down" with one finale look in the mirror Ciel left and went downstairs for another tiring night.

Ciel started to cough as he entered the main room .Most of the people were smoking and drinking and other ones were doing business that they should do in the bedroom .

Ciel had never felt more disgusted than now .He walked up to the stage were the violin girl was waiting for him."Hey Ciel !" she smiled softly to him."Hi, Anna so let's get started with Chopin Nocturne No.20 in C-sharp minor I believe it was?"Anna smiled"Yes indeed well let's get on with it".

Anna practiced a few notes and nodded to Ciel. He went to the piano and set down he practiced the same notes Anna played. Anna was the only person Ciel talked to , she was nice although she was a prostitute ,she wasn't doing it for pleasure she just hope a rich man will find her and take her away where she could study the violin and get to concerts .

Moments ago the main room was filled with laughter and talking but now there was a dead scile nce .All eyes were on Ciel. He felt a little nervous having everybody staring at him but ignored them .

He started playing the first four measures alone and Anna joined him with the violin .Ciel really felt better when he was playing the piano, for him music was the only good thing in his life since he became an orphan.

While they were both playing Ciel looked into the crowd and noticed a very strange man staring right into his eyes. He looked quite tall although he was sitting down he had white skin, black raven hair and he looked really handsome ,his face looked like it was sculpted by angels..indeed he looked like a black angel but what caught Ciel's attention most were his eyes… they were crimson red ,Ciel almost fell lost in his eyes but then he remembered he was supposed to concentrate on the piece .

The song ended with Anna's highest note and Ciel's softest and lowest note. Immediately a lot of cheering and applause were heard. Both Anna and Ciel bowed and Anna whispered into Ciel's ear "'Your are a wonderful musician Ciel,I really enjoy having a duet with you ,well looks like I have to go to "work" I'll see you later alright?","Fine ,take care "he replied .

Anna smiled and then went in the back of the main room where the "private "' rooms were settled .Ciel got back to the piano and continued playing several pieces also some of them composed by him .While he was playing ,again he noticed the same man staring at him" What a freaking stalker "he thought and continued playing until Madame Red came and motioned to him that it was time for him to wait the customers .

He nodded and hoped off the stage and took a waiters plate and set some glasses with wine on it and started to walked between the tables .Again the same people smoking and blabbing about stupid and gossip stuff .As he went past a larger table a man grabbed his arm and started laughing "Well, well gentlemen isn't this the little Mozart? Why don't you come and play something for us" He was drunk. Ciel could tell that from a mile, he glared at him and started walking away until another man tripped him.

Ciel tried to keep his balance but failed ,he fell with a heavy thud and the plate with drinks flew and dropped on another customers lap .Immediately Madame Red came and shouted "What's going on here, Ciel explain yourself now!" "They started it!They wanted to make fun of me and.."Ciel didn't get to finish the sentence because Madame slapped him harsh across his right cheek.

Ciel glared at her as he rubbed his quick reddening cheek. Madame Red looked to the man where the plate dropped and quickly went to him and started to apologies "Lord Michaelis I am so sorry ,that brat is good for nothing I am so sorry he ruined your pants oh my!"She grabbed Ciel and forced him on his knees"Clean this mess and the gentleman's pants right NOW! "

Ciel started cleaning up the broken glass pieces until a black gloved hand reached his wrist and held it gently. Ciel looked up and saw that it was the same man who was staring at him the whole time."Here let me help you "he said gently .Ciel was melting in his deep yet soft voice .A warm blush spread across the boy's face and the raven haired man softly chuckled .When the man finished he got up and handed the broken glass pieces to Ciel."S-s-sir….you..your pants they're ruined.."The raven haired man smiled and looked to Madame Red."Who's this boy Madame?" "His name is Ciel Phantomhive he is an orphan he is quite talented he can play the piano and already composed some pieces of his own, but he is a stubborn brat .He is already been here for five months and is still a virgin can you believe that!"Ciel blushed even deeper and lowered his head in shame.

"I told him to quit to his so called "pride "of his but he simply doesn't understand."The raven man smiled "I want to buy him" .Ciel and Madame Red and the whole brothel started in shock at the man."Pardon me my lord? Did I hear correct you want to buy Ciel?", "Yes I want him", "Lord Michaelis with all due respect you deserve someone better…I might suggest.." ,"No , he is just what I want and anyway he seems to be a pain for you ,will this be enough "the raven haired man handed a small bag of coins.

Madame Red counted the money and approved , she put the bag between her breasts and turned with a big fake smile on her face to Ciel."Ciel honey,why don't you go and pack your things ?Now you belong to Lord Michaelis so you will leave with him ,come on hurry up!"

Ciel felt the urge to puke at her fake sweet voice. He nodded and went upstairs .He really didn't have any good clothes so he just took his music sheets and left a single note to Anna where he thanked her for being his friend and wishing her the best .

Ciel felt weird, he was happy because he was leaving that place but also worried and a little scared of what was going to come."Who the hell is this Lord Michaelis anyway and what the hell is he doing in a brothel..There's something fishy about that guy …"Ciel thought as he went outside where a carriage was waiting for him .

He hopped in and took a seat against the taller man. Lord Michaelis nodded to the driver and the carriage went off .Ciel was looking outside the window as they went out of town heading to the Michaelis Manor. Ciel felt the raven haired's eyes on him, staring into his soul literally. He really was starting to feel uncomfortable .

Ciel decided to put a barrier between him and the Lord's eyes so he took one of his music sheets and pretended as if he was studying it."Beethoven , eh?" Ciel almost jumped at the sound of the other man's voice. He lowered the sheet music only that the man could see his visible eye and gave him a questionable look. The raven haired man chuckled and pointed to the title of his music sheet."I like Beethoven ,he's my favorite composer .I love his contrasts his constantly chaining of moods, it is really fascinating to change a happy mood to a sad and dramatic one, a real genius I have to say."

Ciel could do nothing but stare at the man in front of him."Oh my, where are my manners, I am Lord Sebastian Michaelis and now that I bought you I am your current master and I have some rules which you have to respect.

You will address me as Master or Master Michaelis, you will be my servant that means you will have to help the other servants in the manor like cleaning cooking and washing and you will also entertain me, I noticed you play the piano very well and…."'He took Ciel's chin and made him look into his eyes" there are many ways in which you will entertain me not only your piano playing "'he licked Ciel's shell ear and smirked at him .

Ciel stared at Sebastian as if he grew another head and he thought" I must get away from this freaking pervert as soon as possible" .The carriage suddenly stopped and Sebastian climbed out of the carriage and held his hand to Ciel to help him get down.

Ciel took his hand and as soon as the man turned his back to walk to the manor, he ran .He didn't care where he would end up but he really didn't want to stay with that freak .He was already in the woods and all of a sudden something grabbed his arm and pinned him to a tree .

Ciel looked up and saw that it was Sebastian who had a annoyed expression present on his face ."And where does my little kitten want to go?","Shut up! I'm not your "'pet" and there is no way I will stay with you, how the hell would I know that you just want to have a good ride with me and then throw me out into the street, I barley know you God damn it! How am I supposed to trust you?",Sebastian smirked.

"I figured you'd say that ,that's why I am giving you a choice, I will let you choose either you stay with me and be my servant and I will give you all the protection you need and you will see I can be an easy master, or you can run right now and end up God knows where ,so what will you choose?"

Ciel glared at the man" Well of course I can run away ,but in a way he offered me a better life, I mean he took me from Madame Red and now he's letting me chose…maybe he isn't that bad but there's something fishy about him…"…. "Who…what exactly are you?"The boy asked.

Sebastian's eyes started to glow demonically and he smiled reveling a pair of sharp fangs. "I am just one hell of a gentleman."Ciel's eyes widened in horror "D-d-demon…."Sebastian stepped forward and neared his face next to Ciel 's" So, Ciel what will you do?'"Ciel started to tremble and thought" What demons exist? But how and hang on ,he said he'd protect me, but still…oh anyway …how bad can this get if I go somewhere it could be even more dangerous?"

"'Fine, I'll do it, I'll be your servant but there is no way I will ever trust you."Sebastian tilted his head to the left before he smiked" Little kitten I promise you will be able to trust me because I will tell you a secret"He leaned into Ciel's ear and whispered devilish „Demons …never lie.'"
