Hello minna-san, HY here with a Kuroshitsuji fanfic. It's my first fanfic for this fandom, please be kind with me *bows*.
Summary : Sebastian's brother got booted out of Hell to see how Sebastian was doing on earth. (You'll have to read the rest to judge how the story is going ^^)
A/N: This is written in a first person's point of view (Sebastian's brother) and I intended it to be mainly humorous - trying to experiment on writing comedic stories, as well as my sadistic muse had been bugging me even when I'd been having my exams last month...I'll be following the manga storyline as I've only watched bits and pieces of the anime (wasn't to keen on Ash/Angela, Drocell and Queen V wanting Ciel dead…).
I'll stick as closely as possible to how the characters are, but they will be slightly OOC in some circumstances. Also I apologise beforehand for the language not being too accurate with 19th century – this story was written merely for fun and enjoyment of readers (I hope). Contains hints of shounen-ai if you squint (my first attempt as well).
Please do read and review so that I know whether this is worth continuing or scraping off . Thank you for your support!
Disclaimer : I don't own Kuroshitsuji except for my OC :D
His Brother
Beginning Arc : Why me?
It started one fine day…Initially, it was to me…
Until dinnertime…
There all of us were, dining away with souls, flushing their unique tastes down our throats with their blood when Mother spoke.
"I haven't seen Malum in awhile now. I wonder how he's doing…?" she sighed.
Malum's my big brother. The eldest in our family. Mother's absolute favourite…Or should I say Mummy's No.1 Boy?
Father placated her. "Now, my dear, Malum's busy with his latest assignment and he informed us he won't be returning in awhile…"
"I know, but I miss his presence. I missed those times when he used to perform his wicked deeds in front of me for show…"
Yup, that's why he's Mother's favourite. No one beats him at sinning, alright. For demons like us, the more you sin the higher your status rises amongst us.
"Well, you could always send someone to see how he's doing, Mother," drawled out Brother 4 as he picked his teeth with a tibia. There are many siblings in my family as demons breed a lot, so I'll save all of you the trouble of having to know all my brothers names. Heh, it's not like I even remember all my brothers' names either…
"That's a good suggestion…He's currently busy with this earl of some sort, so one of you could go there and help him out as well as report on how he's doing…," mused Mother as she petted her cobra, Selena, resting on her shoulder. "Selena, baby, mind doing the honours of selecting which son of mine to go and visit Malum?" she cooed.
Honestly, since it was Brother 4's suggestion, shouldn't he go instead?
I poked at my food, avoiding from looking at Selena. She is one hell of a creepy snake. She spits fi –
Fuuuh!
What the hell?
I leapt out of my chair, hovering in the air as I barely missed the shot of flames which charred the chair I was sitting on seconds ago.
That freaking snake! She picked me? Of all the brothers, it had to be me? If I ever managed to get to her…
It was Mother's voice which pulled my attention back to my parents. Both of them were smiling, but Mother's smile was more evil. "It seems Selena has chosen you, Sial..."
I opened my mouth to protest, "Why me?", when a flash of blinding light and a furious compelling force hit me, pushing upwards and the last thing I remember was the piercing look Selena gave me before I lost consciousness.
Thud!
Urgh, it was so not fun to be shoved out from Hell like a geyser gushing out before falling to this place called Earth. I rubbed at my aching bones, silently cursing. My mind was furiously working as to why that evil snake had picked me. Finally it dawned upon me.
The reason why Selena had chosen me was because I was the least evil in the family. Despite being a demon, I was never really bothered about my demonic duties, a.k.a creating havoc, sinning, all the dirty deeds you could think of. I preferred to keep to myself, enjoy reading the life stories of all the sinners in the library of the souls we kept. I suppose both Mother and Father kept a hidden record of how much their children had sinned, and my score was probably close to zero.
I looked at my current surroundings – the sight of green grass, shrubs and flowers welcomed me and the sky was nice and blue…Way to go, Sial, you're not exactly supposed to be enjoying your new surroundings, I reminded myself. But…it was nice for a change, you know? Down there…everything's just…dead…and black…
Maybe that's the reason why Brother 1, a.k.a Malum doesn't want to return…?
Right, speaking of him…How was I supposed to know where to look for him? I just got booted out in the open broad daylight with no instructions at all! Besides, I didn't even know who this earl person he was currently with! Like I said before, I don't really bother about most things, and Malum's one of them.
My head was itchy at the moment and I used my paws to scratch –
Wait a moment, my paws? I looked down at my body.
This time I cursed out loud, "Fuck!"
Except that it came out as a loud and humiliatingly, "Mraow!"
How was it that I was turned into a fucking black cat? Oh, Lucifer, if Malum could see me now I would die of embarrassment!
A sound of a door opening made me tilt my head to see a man in what seemed like a butler's uniform to me, come out. He began approaching me and I took that as a cue to run off. Maybe he wanted to chase me away – from what I've read, humans were highly superstitious of black cats.
I had no idea why my body refused to move. I was glued to the ground as he picked me up. And I waited to get flung and a shouting of, "Get lost you filthy, unlucky cat!"…
Stroke…
If my eyes couldn't get any wider, his gloved hand was stroking my paw, his eyes were closed and he was softly cooing, "Ahh, how soft your paws are…So nice to touch…"
Sure, considering I bathed in goat's milk occasionally to maintain my skin's suppleness…
But my skin (fur?) was crawling, looking at his facial expression…which looked so…I could only think of one word at the moment.
Perverted.
It was at that moment when he opened his eyes that I noticed they were red, and everything happened at once.
Poof!
Somebody please kill me now.
I transformed into a human body. The worst part was that I was stark naked.
And the butler had one hand on my human ass, with the other still holding my hand.
And those red eyes…belonged to Malum…
"Urgh!" I squirmed as I tried to hide my family jewels from his semi-second shocked gaze before he dropped me on the ground. "Oww!"
"What was that for – ," I groaned as I tried to rise to my feet but he pinned me down, his fingers around my neck.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" his voice was quiet, but it made the hairs on my back rise up. I think he recognised my aura as a demon…
See, I told you we have so many brothers in the family until we don't exactly know each other…
"Malum, it's me your brother Sial!" I hurriedly spoke in one breath. When I was loads younger, I've seen Malum squeeze the life out of someone without blinking an eye and I didn't want to be in that position.
"Sial?"
I fervently nodded, wondering if it was Mother's intention for all this misfortune to befall me.
Malum suddenly spun me around.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I shouted as a hand landed on my ass to check.
"Hmm…you do have the same birthmark as I do…so I guess you really are my brother," he eventually said. I heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why are you here?" he repeated his question, the one I initially forgot to answer due to him almost choking the air from my lungs.
"Mother sent me. She missed you…and your evil deeds, so she wanted to see how you are doing," I explained. A slow smile spread on my face as I just realised what Malum was doing.
He was a butler to an earl. A servant! The great Malum, one of the most feared demons in Hell, was a servant on Earth! I struggled to keep my face straight but my sides were twitching and he cocked an eyebrow.
"What is so humorous, Sial?"
I couldn't hold it in. I burst out laughing, clutching my sides. "I can't believe you're a butler! In a uniform and all! Bwahahahaha!"
I saw a slight twitch on his forehead as he took out a pocket watch. "Almost time for the young Master's tea."
Young Master? Oh Lucifer, I never thought I'd actually hear those words! I almost rolled on the ground, laughing.
"I may be in a butler's uniform, but you're still naked," he smirked before returning to the door he came through.
Those words totally killed the laughter from me. And he was leaving me out here alone, even after he acknowledged me as his brother!
"Wait! Are you just going to leave me out here like this?" I cried. That evil, vile – !
"You're a demon yourself, Sial," were his final words, shooting me one last look I deemed weird,before he closed the door.
If only there was a river I could jump into and drown this human body I was currently in, I would have done so.
Because I was a demon, I didn't have to remain a cat to look for Malum. I could have given myself a human body before going to look for him.
Because I was a demon, I could have just clothed myself when I found out I was stark naked without having to further humiliate myself in front of Malum.
Honestly, Sial, as a demon, you're an epic fail…
Now, since I've found Malum, what was I supposed to do?
I really, really wanted to go home.
A/N : Sort of based on Chap 5 of Kuro. You can see how I've changed the scene where Sebastian, being exasperated with the servants, rushed out to see his favourite cat...That's what I'll be doing with the other chapters I will upload if you (the readers) like this story and support it :D
Sial's a legit word, which its meaning I'll reveal later. Malum means evil.
Please do read and review!
