Chapter 1: First Encounter

Music was one of my many joys in life with so many moods and abilities. It had the power to make one dance,cry, feel empowered and fall in love...so was it any wonder why he followed a beautifully structured melody made only by the incredibly skilled vocal cords, a song that called out to him and compelled him to follow it to the source? He smiled as he listened to the voice and closed his eyes listening but then the voice stopped and when he opened his eyes he gasped as he was covered in the blood and the person who made the wonderful music he loved so much laid on the floor "Mother?...mother please wake up...mother mother!" Kite jolted up awake sweating he wiped the tears from his eyes and sighed "that dream again..." He blinked as he heard a man laughing so he looked over and saw that he was laughing at another man that seemed to be training with other people, from the looks of it they hadn't noticed him yet. He grinned and walked closer wanting to start shit just to cheer himself up "Hey do you mind shutting the hell up?!" he shouted "Why?" a man asked him innocently and rested his head on his hand "Because your all are being so damn annoying" he huffed "the one day i managed to sneak out away from work to take a nap, my peace and quiet gets disturbed by noisy people" "See that guy over there who has his back to us? well his name is naoki and he's one of the captains training these fighters but he's also has the most perverted mind" "That's nice but i really didn't ask you to tell me any of that nor do i give a fuck...Oi old man mind if i join in on the fun?!"

"Who are you calling old brat?" Naoki turned to me with a vein pumping out his temple, while the other guy he was fighting sighed, knowing what was to come. "Isn't that obvious? I was talking to you" Kite yawned. Naoki took a deep breath and showed him his hand "save it for later kid i don't have time to play" Kite blinked and waited a second before replying "Kid? is this old guy talking about me?" "Yup!" the other man yelled from the somewhere in the back "Hey kid shouldn't you be at home rather than bothering me?" the captain mocked not even bothering to look at the young demon. Kite blinked curious as to just when did that weird guy move but then he just shrugged it off "I could ask you the same old man..."
"Naoki drew his sword ready to attack "Do you have any idea who your're talking to?" "Honestly no I don't know who the hell you are and i don't give a crap either" Kite yawned, clearly bored out of his mind "you will" the older demon said as he swung his sword being in front of kite in a split second. Kite whistled " old man got some game" he shoved his hands in the pockets of his black hoodie he was wearing to help hide his ears and tails, dodging every single one of naoki's attacks. It seemed like naoki's patience was wearing then which kite guessed was limited " you'll see old" he mumbled under his breath as he continued his attacks "I don't give a damn if you're a kid or an old lady a challenge is a challenge. better back off before it's too late" Kite just laughed as he continued to dodge " you know your pretty mean for a geezer" "If you're so good, why don't ya prove it? All ya do is avoid me." Meanwhile, Rei returns with a bottle of sake and some cake. he sat at the very side of the battlefield, next to naoki's former opponent. "Did i miss something?" Kite hummed "I'm really not even suppose to i could get in so much trouble" he said as he fixed his hood that almost slipped off "show me what ya got kid! let's see who's the weak one" Kite smirked as he slowly lifted his hand in the air "you'll regret it" he began chanting a spell under his breath as he closed his eyes. He was soon surrounded by a gust of wind and just as he was about to finish the spell he screamed in pain as he was shocked by the collar he had around his neck
" A spell? and here i thought spells were forbidden...or more likely forgotten.' Naoki narrowed his eyes slightly at the thought. 'who is this boy?' he trailed a leg back and took his stance. "well this should be fun." his lips curled into a smirk as he stretched a hand forward, lower, preparing for a counter attack. "Tch damn this collar Sebastian get this stupid thing off of me!" he struggled to get it off "no. you shall control yourself and not get involved in unnecessary fights, thus not cause any problems. Kite started hissing he was so tempted to use his claws to get it off "you damn cat freak get this damn thing off me right now damn it I feel like i'm a damn pet and its not even my damn color blue doesn't suit me at all!" he snapped at Sebastian who finally decided to show himself "Doesn't suit you? are you sure your not a girl?" the elder teased. The young demon's eye twitched "for the last time don't call me a fucking woman!" he snapped again kicking at him, of course Sebastian being a stronger more experienced demon dodged them all "you should really do something about this anger problem...you weren't a hot temperate brat when we first found you"

"S-Shut up you stupid old geezer i am not a hot tempered brat you just piss me off with that cocky attitude one day i'll definitely put you in your place just you wait! you damn flea ugh you just wont get lost i don't need a bodyguard nor do i need a babysitter i'm 17 damn it its so not cool!" Sebastian rolled his eyes "well maybe if you'd act your age and stop causing trouble for me. i'm really busy you know... by the way you still didn't tell me what happened with your mot-"

"Its none of you damn business and it doesn't concern you either!" he shouted but with a more calmer tone of voice as he balled up his fists "...its not something i like to talk about...not like you would understand anyway..." he was interrupted by naoki grabbing his shoulder "quit ignoring that others are here you stupid girly brat" he said, making kite's eye twitch "don't call me a girl!" he shouted as he grabbed the elder's arm, then wrapped his legs around his neck threatening to break his arm as well as his neck "you've got some guts calling me a girl but i do believe i mentioned that i don't like to be called a girl. what did you say your name was again?" Most people around gasp at Kite's speed and draw their sword in order to defend their captain if needed. Naoki, however, smirks and without effort light a fire in the place Kite is, not caring him he burns himself as well "You can call me death."
Kite jumped off patting himself quickly so the fire wouldn't reach his tail "hot hot hot!... damn you ruined my favorite jacket...tch" Naoki took off the other glove, a smirk still pasted on his face. "Let's see if we can burn something else than your jacket, hm?" He got ready for a second bending but a loud voice froze him on spot making kite blinked and look towards the loud scream "If you bend one more time, your head will fly like an apple pie." the old man repeated making his way to the battlefield. Naoki gulps and puts back on his gloves. Kite stood there staring at the old man for a minute then turned his attention back to Sebastian " lets go old man"

Sebastian followed kite was he started to walk away,behind were whispers about the impossibility of a flying pie. However, all the spectators are, more or less, nervous. Naoki bows, not daring to look into the man's eyes while Rei makes a sign to Kite that he should show some respect to the old man as well." Boy!" The old man called to Kite making the young demon stop in his tracks and tilt his head "hm?"
"Who are you?" The man asks raising his head and taking, once again, his imposing position "I'm nobody important " he said "You defeated one of my captains. You are strong, so you are important." Kite shrugged placing his hands behind his head looking at the mind "i didn't exactly defeat him...but still i wont tell you my name sorry" many of the soldiers grasped at kite's words thinking to themselves that he's either brave or just stupid
"Excuse'-me?" The man arched his eyebrows in an irritated manner "Are you a noble?" The red headed demon laughed "me a noble? pft as if! i'm just a...um"

"A stray" Sebastian replied smiling "a stray?" the old man blinked while Kite glared at him "i'm not a fucking stray cat freak ignore the dumb ass lets go stupid before a certain brat gets cranky again. see ya later captain lets play again real soon " he waved walking away with Sebastian behind him. he laughed when naoki cursed him under his breath.

The surprise, whose name no one knew, has been the main subject in all corners of the capital. Everyone was wondering who he was and where he came from. The mysterious no name was all over the newspaper but no one but all the soldiers that was there knew what he really looked like. Five days later when kite thought it was finally safe to come out of hiding a strange man came knocking on the manor looking for kite and being the unlucky one he just so happened to one the door "who are you and what do you want?"

"I am Jangbu, the Fire Lord's right hand. And I'm here to hand an official invitation to the brave fighter that the whole town talks about." Kite looked at the man before him for a few minutes then sighed heavily "fuck..."

Kite stared at the man before him wondering how the hell did they manage to find his address
"Tell me this is his manor. It's the last manor in the capital." Kite leaned against the door and sighed "I thought I told him that i wasn't a noble"
"So it is you thank god" the man sighed in relief. "Then, my Lord, this is the invitation." Jangbu handed him the envelope. "If I don't dare too much, I humbly suggest you a more sophisticated look." Kite took it "I'll be sure to keep that in mind " The man greeted respectful and left leaving kite standing there staring at the envelope "the whole town's talking bout me huh? oops "
"Oops what?" Kite jumped when he heard Ciel behind him he turned around after closing the door, he quickly hid the envelope behind him "Uh nothing important"
"Who was at the door?" He asked hoping that it wasn't who he thought it was. "No one " kite replied smiling "Wasn't it Lady Elizabeth?" He inquired suspicious."Uh no Uh just some stalker chick yeah no big deal nothing to worry yourself with my lord"

"You mean Grell returned already?" Kite looked away "Yeah anyway I'm gonna go out for a little walk if I'm need I'm sure you know where to find me right? "
"It doesn't matter anyway. You two can handle him, right?"
"Of course " kite smirked

"Be back in 10 min. I will leave the manor to you tonight." Kite looked at the younger and blinked "why and mind if I asked where your off to? or perhaps the reason why your leaving the manor to me?"
"I have to buy something, a...gift. Which are the dogs most fond of their master?" Ciel said "A gift? " kite looked confused but he shrugged it off "um i don't know maybe a husky?"
"Yes, I need to keep you both busy. A dog would be the best idea. a husky huh? hmm well i'll think about that on the way"
"A dog?...how cruel" the young demon ling sighed and bowed "please excuse me " kite said before he left out the door, he made his ways through the streets going back to his favorite wind started to blow colder. A drop of water fell heavy on the dry ground and it was followed by another and another until the ground was utterly wet. The rain was whipping mercilessly the tree leaves. The redhead sat under a tree, enjoying the rain "I wonder if I really should go to the party" he thought it over for a moment then shrugged "Whatever I got some time to kill so it should be fun " kite smiled
The golden rays made their way out of the grey clouds, but the didn't stop. It created, however, a beautiful effect over the landscape. Kite looked amused "how pretty why can't the world be like this?...so peaceful " The paved way leading to the Palace passed through a peaceful area, the only noises being made by the nature. After 30 mins of walked, in front of him would be a huge building, in Asiatic style, guarded by a rock fence. Along the fence the soldiers were walking paying attention to any move around. And one of those officers seemed very familiar. Kite stared at that one officer for a minute "where have I seen that officer?...hmm" Kite yawned, getting up stretching "guess it's time to head back now " he made his way back to the manor. The manor looked like after the war. With Ciel gone, Bard at the kitchen and Finny 'repairing' the garden... It wasn't the best combination."Sit, boy, sit" but no way Pluto was gonna stop running. Kite growled "not again! You damn jerks do you know who has to clean this mess up!? "

"..." They changed glances. Finny looked down feeling guilty while Bard bit nervously on his cigarette. Yet, Pluto was still running around."Mey-Rin?" Finny asked innocently

Kite sighed heavily "they set me up big time " kite ignored Finny's comment as he made his way over to Pluto. Pluto started to bark at Kite, only to curl in a ball at his...well, body, considering Pluto's size

"Be a good boy and stay where you are while I go clean the mess a certain people made " kite said, petting the demon dog. "Bark" Kite smiled then glared at the two "I leave you alone for a few minutes and you somehow managed to destroy the manor "

"Sorry..." They answered disappointed. He huffed highly annoyed "Just sit back and stay out off trouble! "
"Yes, sir!" The young demon began cleaning up their mess, soon everything was in place and clean. Kite sighed "Finally" With all the work done, the manor in one piece and Ciel back, Kite got the rest of the day free. He could do whatever he decided to get ready, he fixed his hair and put on a mask "perfect time to go "he left of only to find out that the streets were unusually empty, he roamed the streets lost "where was it again?" But of course there wasn't any indicator to show him the way."Why did I agree to this again? "Kite frowned, kicking rocks " 'Cause you didn't have much of a choice?"

"Excuse me?" He looked over at the direction of the voice "I supposed you agreed on that because you didn't have much of a choice. You don't look like someone who does what he don't like to do unless you have." He smiled. "Am I right?"
"Well sorta...actually your right..."

"Good! What did you agree on and it's bothering you, anyway?" He pulled out a cigarette and looked curious at Kite. "Smoke?" Kite's nose wrinkled a little "Gross I'll pass...anyway who are you? "
"Just a passer-by" he smiled."or a creep is more like it " kite frowned "...And someone with kitty ears and tail says so..."

"I don't know what your talking about " he said "I don't have cat ears or a tail" he smiled trying to keep his cool 'no way did they see them? I thought I kept them hidden' he mentally asked himself."And I was looking for you for quite a while. Really, his description wasn't very helpful, but I guess I finally found and I quote 'the annoying little brat' " he smirked. "I'm talking about those" he pointed at your ears then at the tail. "And that." Kite touched the top of his head then remembered that he never used that spell to hide his true form "Shit..." he muttered under his breath "um i think you got the wrong guy these are fake " he lied, smiling "Whatever" he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care about them. But I'm here at my captain's order - he wants to challenge you."
"Again? I'll pass" kite sighed

"Again?" He tilted his head "Uh Nothing tell your captain I'm not interested not in the least "
"Fine by me, but captain will be disappointed. He seemed quite curious to meet the one who defeated captain Naoki." He smiled. "Well then, have a good day!" Kite shrugged " technically I didn't defeat him but whatever...he wants to meet me but he doesn't even know who I am " kite said out loud as he walked away.

"But the whole capital is talking about you. Even if no ones know who you are, everybody have heard about you." He laughed. "And you wouldn't believe what rumors are!"

"Rumors? what rumors? " he stopped and looked back.

"Well, some say you are an angel sent to beat the hell out of sinners, which doesn't sound like an angel at all. Other say your a demon. Or weirder, that you came from another planet while most of the officers believe you're the new Avatar. And some other assumption which are stupider than the alien one."

"Ironically, in one day you became more popular than the Fire Lord himself." Kite started bursting out laughing "how stupid I don't have any interest in that stuff ,I was bored and wanted a good fight "

"Interested or not, you got some attention. I just wonder how long it will last"

Kite rolled his eyes "If I'm lucky the town will forget all about that, I rather not let it reach their ears "
"Who's ears?" Kite smiled as he looked at the man "A friend's"
"They said you were 'mysterious'" the man rolled his eyes

"Well, whoever that friend is, he will find out by tomorrow. You'll probably be the main subject of the newspapers."

Kite groaned "damn it their gonna kill me "
"Why? They should be happy for you. You said they are friends, ne?"

"Well I guess I do have a knack for unwanted attention " kite laughed

"Just like Shin" the man laughed. "Who? " kite tilted his head "Natsumi Shin, Captain Naoki's 3rd seat... They the only subordinate who dared to put up with him."

"It's both fun and scary to see them together... More fun."

"Sounds like my kind of guy ... So quick question did anyone happen to take my picture? "

"I don't know, but some surely saw you. Damn, how I wish I saw the that fight. And, yeah, you both dislike Captain Naoki, so you'd get along just fine."

"Nice Maybe I'll stick around " kite said as he messed with his hair

"Well, if you change your mind, you know where the training ground is. I gotta go now." He raised a hand as a greeting. "See ya!"

"See ya " kite waved as the man left to give the report to his captain. Kite sighed and then made his way back home,sneaking in his room. the first thing he did when he got back was change his clothes. Then suddenly there were knocks on the door that sounded like they were produced be tens of hands and the yelps were rising the noise. Kite groaned "what now can't i get a freaking break?" Steps were heard as sign that someone was approaching the front door.

Once the door was opened, a bang followed by louder yelps and weak barks echoed in every corner of the manor.

"Ho ho ho" Tanaka said instead of 'Here we go'

Kite ran outside itching for a fight.

"A cat!" Sebastian yelled from under the puppies once he felt Kite's presence. The little dogs stopped barking for a moment and looked blankly at the neko.

Kite huffed "cat freak "

The puppies stared for another moment, then ran straight to Kite, reaching for his tail. Their instinct was turned on."Step away from the tail " The puppies seemed to enjoy their little game. Kite couldn't help but smile, moving his puppy was more dynamic and it tried jumping to catch the tail "That's a good look for you Sebastian " kite laughed "If you enjoy spending time with them, I don't intend on ruining your fun."He answered, not as calm as he had been before the puppies' appearance."What's your problem their adorable " kite said as he picked one was fine, he got used, one puppy was acceptable, 2 were bad, 3 were worse, but 12 were a nightmare."They are dogs and so their still cute? " "How can you like them? You're neko and they chase are so... Loyal. Too good and innocent for my liking."

"They are man best friend's or so I heard "
"oh, and once you accept one, you can never get away of a ."
"Like how your obsessed with cats? " kite grinned

"They swing their tails like nobles, the paws are soft and their eyes cute, but despite of that, they are sly."

"...I can't say any of these qualities about you, though."

"What is that suppose to mean?!" he hissed at the elder "Never-mind" he sighed. "Just keep those dogs away until I talk with Young Master about them."

"Hmph why should I help you?" He said, folding his arms"Because if we don't get rid of them, they will come even in night to 'play' with your tail. Is that what you wish?" Kite rolled his eyes "fine whatever" Sebastian returned five minutes later carrying a plate and removing some chocolate cream from his hair.

Kite chuckled "what happened to you? "

"The dessert was not sweet enough for the b- Young Master." He looked at the puppies running around the hall. "To your entertainment, they will stay here for a while." He walked towards the kitchen, mumbling something about moving the cats. Kite laughed, holding his sides, Amused at how the young master just loved to annoy the butler.

Mey-Rin walked down the stairs with some classic glasses and, as if that she didn't see right wasn't enough, the puppies started running around her feet. She shout in surprise but ended up falling. The glasses flew high in the air.

Kite caught all the glasses with ease "careful "

"Ah, amazing~!" She appreciated bringing her hand at her chest and blushing slightly. " don't mention it he waved then went to be. The next morning he went to go wake up Ciel, sometimes he and Sebastian switch up between waking the younger though he mostly had to do it when Sebastian was busy with doing something else. five minutes after he woke the young early up he had him dressed and ready to start the day. the young demon walked with ciel to his office as he told him his Schedule for the day "My lord has the waltz scheduled for today too" Ciel groaned "Schedule it for another day."
Kite nodded "as you wish" he said then looked at the door when someone suddenly knocked on the office door "young master? you have two letters" kite opened the door the brought the letters over to ciel.

Ciel opened the first letter, the one from Her Majesty but didn't say anything. He looked at the second, but the seal was new. He red it and remained still."The army..." He whispered making the younger demon blink and tilt his head "the army?"

Sebastian walked over and red the letter as well. "Oh, my. These are bad news."

"What wrong? "

the war has started" Sebastian answered "...and Young Master is called to join the army, seeing as his achievements lead him to a higher level than his age does."

He turned to Ciel. "What will you do?"

"Your not really gonna join are you?" He gulped. "To shatter Her Majesty sorrow, seeing as the war saddened her, I shall join." Kite sighed "figures..." Sebastian sighed and brought a hand to his face. "Here we go again..."

"I still don't think you should be apart of it " Ciel rose on his feet. "Prepare at once! You will both come with me." Kite frowned "as you wish "

"Yes, My Lord !"

"As you wish " After they left the room, Ciel fell on his chair. "Who will take care of the manor...?" Kite frowned "are you alright, you paled when you heard about the army" Sebastian said staring at kite. "y-yeah i'm fine" He looked suspicious at Kite, but then shrugged. It was little time left to pack all needed. A frown was glue on his face again.

Everything was ready just in time. In front of the manor, Finny was crying, Pluto howling sadly, Mey-Rin consoled a crying Lizzy - who apparently didn't leave, but overslept - and Bard greeted like an officer.

Almost everything."Am I going alone...?" Ciel looked around - his demons no where to be seen.

"Look behind you " he said "Finally! Let's- where's Sebastian?" He raised an eyebrow amused. "Or did he grew fond of the puppies?"

"I wouldn't count on it "

"I appreciate your care, but a gift wasn't necessary." The butler said, removing the lipstick marks. "Puppies, Grell, what will be next? I'd rather not know." He thought, sighing.

Kite snickered. Seeing as Grell was still there acting like a girlfriend, he shivered and couldn't be more happy about joining the army."Are you sure you wanna leave your girl behind? " he teased

"She- He will survive." Then added in a lower voice "Or hopefully not." He laughed "so cruel "

"You're right. I should lovely with him." Kite smiled "that would be fun "

"He would go away then." He waved and smiled warmly at Grell. "It harder than I thought." Kite burst out laughing

Sebastian pushed him with his elbow. "It's not funny." But he kept his fake smile on.

"Your right it's hilarious " he said as he continued to laugh "Rather annoying." Kite hummed happily, not having a care in the world "And they say I'm the kid here..." Ciel commented over the butlers' acting. Kite laughed again before they all got in the carriage. on the way there Kite sighed, slouching back "I'm bored "

"We agree on something for once" Sebastian replied then the car suddenly stopped harshly, taking by surprise. Kite growled, rubbing his head "ouch what the hell " An officer came to the car with a list in his hand. "Name?" He asked bored. Kite stayed silent "Ciel Phantomhive." The man checked the list then looked at the soon to be soldiers. "Now look who's here." Kite folded his arms but kept quiet "I wasn't expected you to return." Kite looked bored as he ignored him"Good luck." Naoki said and stepped away from the car, letting them enter the fortress. The driver drove a few more minutes, with minimum speed, them stopped harshly again."The end of the road, guys!"
Kite was starting to get really annoyed finally someone came over to help them when they got there. one of the generals showed them to their tents, ciel had his own tent while Sebastian and Kite had to share a room. The two demons walked to the canteen together as they walked.

There were hundreds of people and a long row to the food."Too crowded "
"Yeah..." He agreed paying attention in another direction."Whatcha looking at? "
"Grell would love this place." He said mindlessly.
"Especially the uniforms."
"Don't tell me your crushing on him now " he smirked "Hell no ! It has the same possibility as me becoming a saint." Kite laughed "sure you sound real convincing "It's just that the uniforms remind me of him." The uniforms were black with red.
"Sure your totally daydreaming about him "
"If you miss him so much, why don't you call him? So you can confess to him." Ciel complained bored from behind while playing with his food. In contrast with what he was used to eat, this was an insult to say at least. "He would be here in ten seconds."
Kite laughed again "he got you "
"What's wrong with you two?!" His shadow began to change its form.
"Calm down we're only joking "
"Then know it's not funny!"
"Only to you anyway "
"I wasn't joking..." He was still playing with the food, not daring to taste it.
Kite laughed again "what's up with you? "
"If the 'love freak' as you call him was chasing you, you wouldn't find it funny either."
"I'm bored." He answered blankly. "Besides, it was true."
"Alright I'm done...for now " kite said with a grin "It will be a long night." He sighed, going to get his uniform. Kite smiled "Maybe Maybe not "
