His Butler, playing game
Sebastian watches as his master, Ciel Phantomhive dancing with Lady Elizabeth and couldn't help but feel amused. His master can dance well enough, no one would realize he just learn how to dance few hours ago. But that's to be expected from his master, he might be seems fragile outside, yet so strong, smart and mature inside.
Ciel Phantomhive, at the age of 12, already becomes the head of Phantomhive family, the president of Phantom company and queen's watchdog. In the eyes of outsider, they see Ciel gain everything he has now because he was the only one Phantomhive alive. Stupid humans, Sebastian think, why can't they use their brain to actually think and not being fooled by appearance? Even it's true what his master has now is inheritance, can't they see what he really capable of? Ciel Phantomhive is able to have everything he has now because he was more than able to handle the burden that came along with Phantomhive's name.
Yes, his master is able to do all the work, even the dirty one, especially the dirty one, when he acts as the queen's watchdog. Ciel Phantomhive is 12 years old, the age when normal child playing around, smile, laugh and just not know the dark side of the world, but things is different for his master. When the other child is play outside, his master is taking care of company business. When the other child smiling innocently, childishly, his master smiling in wicked way, claiming to forget how to smile in happiness. When the other child is soaked in the rain, his master soaked in blood. Sebastian smile devilishly, oh yes, his master is soaked in blood, his own and other's blood. The very first time they meet, his master soaked in blood, even now he still is, and he was sure, until the end the blood will never wash away.
Sebastian has watched many human for so very long time, yet no one as interesting as his master now. Never before mere human, even the adult one is able to keep up with him in his games, he always had upper hand and it always so boring that make him end it quickly. But his master now is different, more than 2 years already they playing their game, yes, their, with Ciel Phantomhive, it's not his game anymore but theirs. And for all this time, his master always manage to surprise him in one way or another, sometime he win, the other time he lose. It was so much fun, thrill, to actually keep playing each other in their devious game. Sometime the game is simple, harmless, even ridiculous one, but most time, it's about live and death, wicked satisfaction, painful, dangerous, complicated mind game, in order to test each other limit.
There are no spoken rules in their game, they must figure it by their own, they never mention when one of their game start and when it finish, they know and understand. The funny thing is, in their game, they trust each other as much as they didn't trust. The one who let's his guard down is going to lose, and the one who too confident is going to lose too, the one who didn't trust each other is the loser and the one who trust too much is going regret it. A moment's hesitation is mistake, and mistake is not acceptable. In the game of chess, Ciel Phantomhive is the King, the King that'll manipulated the other pieces, Sebastian is the Knight, the Knight that can do the same but not like ordinary simple chess, this Knight is able to bring down his own King. The King and the Knight can use each other, can work together and more than able to destroy each other if the time come. In this chess game, the enemy is so many and most of them still remain invisible. Let's see which will come first, will the King able to defeat his enemy? Or will the enemy able to crumble his throne? Or will the Knight bring down his King? The game will not over until the winner said "checkmate".
No one beside them aware about their secret games, even though sometime it's plain to see if someone looking hard enough, it's a wonder why no one realize it until now. Sometimes an unexpected game is taking place, usually not started by them, at game like this, they more than willingly to work together but still search for a hole for them to play their own game by their own rule. But most of this kind of game is no where as interesting as theirs, so they just end it quickly so another game can be played.
The dance is over and Ciel glance at his direction. Their eyes meet and both know, Ciel is the winner in this dancing game, he actually manage to dance without making fool of himself. Sebastian bow a little and smirking in arrogance manner, as to say that his master can dance because he is the one who teach him, Ciel gave an glare and their next game already started. Really --- both of them love their game too much.

I fall in love in Kuroshitsuji since the very first time I watch the anime, it's so cool, deep and dark, my favorite kind! By the way, I always wondering, can Ciel see with both of his eyes? Or is the right one has turn blind since the contract was there?
