Echo…

A BleachxKuroshitsuji crossover

AN: this is my first yaoi and the first fanfic that I have co-written. I hope you all like it. This is rated M for mature for the graphic nature, and language.

Things outside the Phantomhive estate were peaceful, but then again Sebastian credited it to the fact that those idiots weren't awake yet. Oh how he despised those humans and there stupidity greatly. They were never able to get anything right and managed to make a disaster of a situation that seemed almost impossible to ruin. Yes, Sebastian didn't-no couldn't-no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't understand humans.

Sighing, Sebastian unrolled his sleeves, carefully placing his jacket back on, making sure to keep it wrinkleless, and put on his white gloves. It was time for Ouja-sama's awakening and another busy day; though he wouldn't mind if the other idiot humans remained asleep for the rest of the day.

Knocking lightly on the door, Sebastian proceeded to open the wood doors, not being surprised when there in the middle of his bed curled up in a ball lay Ciel Phantomhive. Of course the curtains were pulled shut blocking out the light, but Sebastian could still see perfectly fine.

"Ouji-sama, it's time to wake up…Ouji-sama." He said sternly, walking over to the closed curtains, throwing them to sides to reveal the windows and the morning light.

"Close the curtains, Sebastian. I would prefer getting up without being blinded." Ciel growled to his butler from his place on the bed, his eyes still closed. However, a delicate and pale hand and come up to create a shadow over his face to shield his eyes.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, last time I did that you didn't get up for another hour and missed your first appointment of the day." Sebastian explained as he poured today's tea, Vitalitea in a blue floral tea cup.

Clicking his tongue to the top of his mouth in an annoyed grunt, Ciel moved to sit up in his bed; his slightly too big button up white shirt falling off one of his shoulders as he watched Sebastian move about the room. "Don't you have errands to run, Sebastian?" He asked glaring as best he could with his aching eyes at his butler.

"I have to get you ready for today's events Ouji-sama" Sebastian simply stated, handing his master the tea he had poured.

"I can take care of myself, I'm no child." Ciel growled back; taking a sip from his tea, his one good blue eye following the other in the room while the other remained shut.

"Last time I checked you still currently were a child" Sebastian aimed back smirking; setting Ciel's chosen attire for the day on the bed by the 'child's' feet.

"Sebastian, that's an order."

"Hai, Ouja-sama." Sebastian said, bowing slightly to his master before leaving the room.

Sighing Ciel placed the tea cup down on the dresser next to his bed before curling back up in his bed facing away from the window's light.

The sun never looked brighter as it cast its light into the cold and damp room of Safe Haven's Orphanage. Soon enough, all ten beds in the cramped space were lit. In the farthest corner, away from everyone, young Hitsugaya Toushiro slept fitfully. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his pale face. For the past two years, it had been the same nightmare. He has not received one night of peaceful sleep since. Squinting his eyes, he tried to fight off the harmful light that saved him from his nightmare from further torturing him. As always, he happened to the first one awake.

All around him were bodies of other orphans that lived here like him. While many of them had been abandoned, they managed to cope and become well acquainted with their surroundings. Most of them were close friends, but no one dared speak or utter a word to him. Ever since...the incident, he had been looked to as a freak, a disgusting and insane freak. Hitsugaya attempted to ignore the voices, ignore the invisible hands wrapping around his neck in an affectionate manner or his legs quivering whenever he saw him, but it was to no avail. Even his teachers looked at him as if he were queer.

There was no justice in this hellhole. The icy-blue eyed lad chucked darkly at the irony of the place being named Safe Haven, more like anything but. Within minutes, he began to hear the teenagers around him stir, so it was his time to flee. Today was Sunday, which meant he would have the day to do whatever he pleased without the bloodhound owners tracking him down. Tossing on his tri-colored hand-me down scarf, and throwing on a winter coat that had patches almost everywhere, Toshiro sauntered over to the window and launched himself out into the cruel world where an enclosed room would not keep him safe. He had little thought on where he wanted to go, all the sixteen year old boy knew, was that he had to face his fears, and that meant going outside his comfort zone. Already, wealthy middle class adults and children were giving him strange looks; in their eyes was a mix of pity and disdain.

He just looked to the ground with a scowl while quickly walking to keep warm. Every once in awhile, he would look up to see where he ended up but didn't stop once. Due to his petite body, Toshiro was barely acknowledged by anyone passing by on a sidewalk. He stopped against a brick wall to catch his breath when the food market just up ahead came into view. His stomach began to rumble furiously. Hitsugaya dug through his pockets, only to find holes in each and not a dime in his baggy jeans. Sighing, he knew he would have to resort to stealing and pick pocketing as usual. Weaving in and out of crowds, the small boy managed to find at least two dollars that ought to get him at least an apple or two. After about twenty minutes, Hitsugaya walked the four blocks back to the orphanage, but not without looking at the newspaper that landed on the front steps. At first, he only glanced over it, but when his piercing sapphire eyes met the front headline, his heart skipped a beat, and it took all of his willpower to not have an anxiety attack.

Rapist given 17-year sentence

Hitsugaya barely had a chance to scream as those same, once warm and inviting, arms closed in around his neck in a tight embrace. Only this time, he wanted nothing more than to escape the strong grasp. He used his hands and pulled Toshiro off the ground, asphyxiating him. To make matters worse, his tongue slid down his neck. "Don't touch me!" My protest was little more than an inaudible squeak. I fell limp in his hands, and like a fish out of water, I struggled to breathe. He only smiled, enjoying seeing his ex boyfriend in so much pain. When he finally became blue to the face, his attacker dropped the boy without mercy to the cold ground. He lowered himself to the ground so he was almost on top of the boy and whispered in Toushiro ear, "say my name…like the way you did before." 'Damnit, I can feel all color drain from my face. I'm a deer caught in the head lights, but no...I won't get myself hurt, not again.'

"I can only say your name now in disgust, Ichigo Kurosaki; now get the hell away from here before I call the cops. I assume you found some way to escape..." Only did Hitsugaya now notice the orange jumpsuit. Smirking, he thought to himself, 'How could I miss such an obnoxious color.'

"Oh no, Shiro-kun. You couldn't possibly think I would want to be away from you for too long. You are just so...delicious."

Hitsugaya used this moment while Ichigo would be caught off guard and ran inside, after slamming the door shut and locking it. His heart still pounded out of his chest to see him again. He slumped down into his knees, only to find cold glares from the children and Orphanage owners looking down pitifully at him. Tears exploded from his moist eyes in that instant. 'I can't take this any longer...'

Taking a look at his pocket watch, Sebastian noticed that he had in fact finished the errands earlier then expected. His eyes narrowed at the strange occurrence but he knew that strange things could happen every once in awhile.

Sighing, the demon silently closed his pocket watch and placed it back in his pocket as he continued walking back to the estate. He couldn't help it as his thoughts wandered to the human race as they usually did in the times when he had nothing to do. Even though he had lived among the race for quite awhile now there were still some aspects that he couldn't figure out. Though Sebastian didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing…

He remembered the headline on the front page of today's paper. A rapist had been convicted and given a 17-year sentence. He wondered what drove humans to do think that way, what was their motive. He knew that the human race was a fragile one thus making them cling to each other. Yet every once and awhile, there would be a human who defied others and committed crimes against others. Look what happened to them, most were caught and locked in prison for the rest of their life and some even met premature deaths. 'What foolish creature's humans are, they fear us demons yet they fail to understand how fearsome their own race can be.' He couldn't help but think as a smirk came across his face.

At the sound of a door slamming shut close by, probably just a little down the street, Sebastian was snapped out of his thoughts as he saw a bright orange jumpsuit come running down the street. 'That's a prison uniform, an escaped prisoner huh?' he thought, his scarlet eyes watching the walking form get closer to him. 'No one else seems to notice him, humans are oblivious, -" Sebastian thoughts were cut off as the orange jumpsuit ran into him, their shoulders connecting hard causing only a bit of pain for Sebastian, however it did cause some annoyance to surface.

"Hey, pretty boy, this is a sidewalk, not the red carpet, so get the fuck out of the way!"

Especially when the boy had the nerve to yell at him, the annoyance making it hard to stop the sharp reply that soon left his mouth. Pardon me," 'and you're awful language' he added on in thought, "but I do believe that it was you who was spacing out and bumped into me."

Sebastian couldn't help but be surprised as he saw the other boy's eyes widen in shock only for a second for an apologetic look crossed his face. "Ah, you're right I'm sorry." He quickly stated and walked away. Sebastian could only stare at the boy's back as he left.

'Yes, some humans, mostly the hypocrites of their societies, sure can be confusing. It sure can get annoying.'
