Chapter One: The First Memory
"He's adorable!" she exclaimed as she held the tiny black and white kitten in her arms.
"He's for you."
A smile spread across the young woman's face as she pulled the kitten closer to her chest as she approached him. He held his breath as she moved closer to him. Was she finally going to give him a chance to kiss her, just as he had wanted for so long?
His soft brown eyes locked with her vivid blue ones as she stood directly in front of him. Her soft smile was still spread across her face. Without a second thought, he placed a hand against her cheek as he pulled her closer until their lips met in a gentle first kiss…
A crashing of glass against the floor brought him out of the trance like state that he had been in, along with his name being yelled at him by his lord.
"Sebastian!"
The demon butler whipped his head around from the window he had been staring out of to his young master, Ciel Phantomhive, who was standing next to him glaring at him. What had just happened?
"What is wrong with you?" Ciel hissed at him. "We were looking at a new tea set since Mey-Rin broke my favorite one. Then you become clumsy and break one in the shop!"
Sebastian glanced at his feet where a teapot lay in a shattered pile against the floor of the shop. What had come over him? All that he could remember was glancing up from looking at tea sets with his master at an odd feeling. That was when he had seen a young woman standing in the window of the shop, looking in at him.
The next thing he remembered was seeing a vision of some sort.
No…not a vision.
A memory.
A memory of his life before becoming a servant of darkness.
Yet there was no way that he could tell his young master that. "I am sorry my lord, it will not happen again," Sebastian said, kneeling down to pick up the shattered shards of glass from the floor.
"See to it that it does not."
As he quickly cleaned up the shattered teapot, Sebastian began to think about what had just occurred. Demons were not supposed to retain memories of their lives once they had traded their souls to Satan. All of that was purged from them.
Yet how could he explain what he had just seen - why had the memory of his first kiss with his beloved presented itself to him?
AN: So this is my first attempt at a Kuroshitsuji fanfic. Please let me know what you think! Thanks!
