HIS BUTLER: HIS HEART
KINGDOM HEARTS/BLACK BUTLER CROSSOVER
Summery: To many the heart is their essence... Their soul... To have it taken, makes the person into a husk... To have it darkened turns them into a creature like no other... But to have one give up their heart... It is a sin beyond comprehension... I OWN NOTHING! PLEASE REVIEW!
CIEL'S P.O.V.
"Vincent! Come quickly!" My mother yelled as she came in from the outside as it layered in snow and ice on the cold December evening.
A blizard had rolled in early that morning trapping us with the walls of the manor, which wasn't that bad... It was nice to have some time with my parents.
Mother had desided to go out for a little while since the storm had calmed. I looked at her and saw she was holding something large and wrapped in her winter coat in her arms.
My mother could barely lift her trunk for when we go to the London townhouse, what did she pick up and why was it wrapped in her best winter furs?
Father walked in and said, "Darling what is happening?! Why were you yelling?!"
I looked at her and asked, "What's in your coat Mother?"
She looked at us and gently pulled away the coat a bit to reveal... "A Child...? In this weather?" Father said in shock.
She nodded and said, "He was unconcoius and past out in this blizzard. When he awakens we can see about finding his family if he has one. Poor boy might have frozen to death if I hadn't spotted him."
I gingerly looked at the boy who laided in the warm grasp of my mother's coat and he arms. He has lightly tanned skin, like he stayed in the sun a lot, his hair was dark brown and went off in multiple spikes, in a messy way. He looked like a he was 4 or 5, meaning I am a bit older than him, since I am 8. He wore short sleeved clothes that looked like they had come from the East.
Mr. Lau always wore weird clothes, when Father had him over for meetings.
The boy began to stir from his slumber with a shiver, gasping for warmth.
Mother yelled, "Tanka, fetch the warmest quilt we have!"
The butler nodded and said, "Yes my Lady."
The boy's eyes slowly opened revealing a shimmering blue that could have been compared to my own.
He whispered in soft but shivered tone, "Wh-Where am I?"
Mother leaned down to him and said, "You're safe young one, we'll have more blankets in a moment... Can you tell us your name?"
He looked down and said, "S-S... It's starts with S... I really can't remember-ber..." He cried, "I can't remember anyth-thing..."
He began to cry and tried hiding in the large coat still shivering from the cold that had not left him.
Mother sat down next to him and said, "It's alright sweetie..."
She wrapped her arms around the boy and his crying stopped. She looked at him and began wiping away his tears. "There...That's better, now we can see those pretty blue eyes of yours..."
Father looked at him and said, "For now you'll need a name to go by... How about Skyler?"
The boy looked at him and said quietly, "I like th-that name...Th-Thank you-u..."
Mother smiled and said, "Skyler it is then. Now do you know how old you are?"
He shivered a bit more and said, "I-I'm 6..."
Six? He looks a lot younger...
"I have the blanket Madam." Tanka said bringing the heavy blanket. Mother took the blanket and wrapped it around the boy to the point his head was the only thing visible.
He tucked into the blankets deeper and said, "Th-Thank you-u..."
Father looked at him and said, "His clothes must be drenched from being in the snow... Tanka, go run a warm bath and fetch some dry garments from Ciel's old wardrobe he's outgrown. And have Raul prepare some soup for him as well."
The butler nodded and walked off.
I looked at the boy and said, "Hi Skyler... I'm Ciel...You warm enough now?"
He looked at me and said, "Hi Ciel... Thank you for being so nice... and yeah... my clothes are really cold though..."
Mother smiled and said, "It's no problem Skyler..."
He looked down and said, "I just wish I could remember... I don't even know who my Mommy and Daddy are... I wish I did..."
Mother looked at Father with her big blue eyes pratically begging him. My father sighed and said to her with a groan, "Fine..."
Mother smiled with joy and said, "Skyler, how would you like it if we adopted you into our family?"
Adopted...? As in I'd have a little brother?
I smiled and said, "Say yes! I've always wanted a brother! Say yes! Say yes! Say ye-"
"Ciel calm down so that Skyler can speak." Father said to me and my energetic bouncing.
The boy stared at us and said, "You mean it...?"
Mother nodded and said, "Of course we do. You can be our family if you so wish... I could be your mother, he your father, and Ciel would be your big brother... How does that sound?"
Skyler's eyes welled with tears of joy as he hugged on to mother and kept saying over and over, "Thank you... Thank you..."
And thats how the Phantomhive household found it's fourth member. My younger brother, Skyler James Phantomhive.
RIKU'S P.O.V.
"What do you mean he's missing?!" I yelled as the King called us over a video call.
We had just gotten back to the islands, from the seemingly endless trip we been on, and now it seems Sora made a detour and gotten himself lost.
"Sora was driving the Gummi Ship towards the Destiny Islands but a chrono vortex captured the ship sending it to an unknown world."
Kairi looked at the King and asked, "What's a chrono vortex?"
He replied, "A chrono vortex is a like the doorway in the hall of the cornerstone... It traverses time... But the chrono vortex is much more dangerous and even life threatening..."
He clicked a button and said, "The chrono vortex is one way meaning you have to wait the time out. Along with that, the portal adjust your age to meet the year you travel to, like if you traveled back 12 years and you're 16 now... You would be 4 years old when you arrived."
I looked at the screen and said, "So Sora is in the past, younger, and living on a different world with no way out?"
The king's face returned and said, "Yes. We have no idea how far back or which world he traveled to. He may not even know his real name."
I sighed and said, "Check in with every world we know and see if he's there... Donald, Goofy, Cid, Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, Kairi and I will go searching the unexplored worlds. This way we'll find him faster."
The King nodded and said, "Teams of two... Sounds good Riku. I'll inform the others of the situation... Good luck to the both of you."
The screen went black and Kairi was on the verge of tears.
She looked up and said, "Just as we all got back together again..."
I looked at her and said, "Don't worry... We'll find him. You know Sora, he's probably going nuts looking for us."
SKYLER'S P.O.V.
"B-Big brother-er..." I whispered as I looked up at him from the cage bars.
We had been locked in cages for what seemed like an eternaty, when they finally took brother away...
Brother had told me that these people are cultist... Devil worshipers... And they had intended on hurting us as much as possible... They did hurt us a lot compared to the other people...
They kicked and hit us, cut into us with knives, and stuck a branding iron onto us... Ciel's was on his hip while mine rested on the nape of my neck... It wasn't that visible due to my shaggy hair flowing behind it and covering it up... It still burned even though it happened near the very beggining of this nightmare...
My brother looked at me and said, "We're getting out of here Skyler."
I looked at him and asked in my weak voice, "How...? They killed Mommy and Daddy... How are we leaving Big Brother...?"
I began crying in terror. He stepped aside and said, "Sebastian, free my brother..."
Sebastian? Who is that? Is he our rescuer?
"Yes my Lord." A soft voice said.
My Lord? Was he a servant I never met?
The cage door was ripped off and a set of hands reached in picking me up bridal style.
When I was pulled out, I saw the man in the outfit of a butler with pale skin, black feather like hair, and rusty brown eyes.
Ciel looked at me and asked, "How bad do you hurt little brother?"
I replied softly, "My legs hurt really bad Ciel...I can't move them..."
"It must be from the cuts on his legs... They are rather deep, Young Master. Then there's the cut at the base of his spine... This may prove to be bad." The man said in his soft voice.
Ciel looked at him and said, "This is an order... You are to protect him as if he was me, understood Sebastian?!"
He nodded and said, "Yes my Master."
I looked at my brother and noticed his wounds were closed, he was clean but still dressed in wrags, and his right eyes now glowed a bright purple.
"Ciel... What happened to your eye? Why is it glowing?"
He placed his hand over it and said, "It's a long story Skyler...One that you will hear later..."
I felt my head get woozy and I said, "I'm tired Ciel... Can we go home?"
I felt his hand rub my head as he said, "Of course Skyler... Of course..."
CIEL'S P.O.V.
"Brother...What are you doing...?" I looked up and saw Skyler sat in the doorway, still bound to the wheelchair for his legs no longer worked.
It had been almost one year since we escape the cultist grasp...
One year where my brother couldn't walk because the dam cultist cut the bottom of his spinal cord, and he was now paralyzed from the waist down...
One year since I contracted Sebastain to serve me, until the day he swallows my soul...
The only other person who knows of our contract is Skyler...
In truth he wasn't too happy that, I'd sold my soul to a demon and that demon happened to be Sebastian, the supposed butler that had saved us, but then he adjusted to the idea once I explained what all I asked for... To find our parents' murderer and for him to guard Skyler like he was me, like his life was my own... Meaning the demon would protect him with his life...
And Sebastian wasn't a bad person, unless I wanted him to be. Like he said, the dark is not always evil and the light isn't always good... It what we choose that determines our allicances.
So Skyler learn to trust him, and even went as far as to calling him, Uncle Sebby... Sebastian hated being called Sebby by anyone, but him. Being called 'Uncle Sebby' by Skyler was a sign of his trust, and that wasn't something taken likely.
It had taken a few months for the manion to be rebuilt, with special ramps and ways to that brother could move around the manor with out constant assistance, and new servants to be hired.
I became the new Earl Phantomhive, and owner of the Funtom Toy company, along with Skyler owning a part as well, meaning we were the most sucessful toy makers in all of London and yet we still children ourselves.
I looked at my younger brother and said, "Skyler? What are you doing up so early? You usually sleep in longer."
The young boy wheeled up to my desk with a wrapped box on his blanket covered lap. He smiled and said, "Well I was too excited to sleep in today Ciel."
He placed the box on my desk and said, "After all it is your 12 birthday silly brother of mine."
I smirked and said, "Oh Skyler you do this every year. Even in the cages you did this."
He smiled and said, "Well you are my big brother and your birthday is special. Go on! Open it!"
I set down my pen and went to unwrapping the small box. Inside was a set of studs like I used to wear before the kidnapping, in a shade of dark blue.
Skyler smiled as parted his hair back a bit showing the same studs sitting in his ears.
"I know you lost your orginal ones, so I had Uncle Sebby pick up two sets from London when he went shopping. They're made from a stone called Night's Bond. It's suppose to bring luck and good fortune to siblings, by blood or not, if they wear them together."
I sighed and said, "You are such a goofball you know that?"
He smiled and said, "Yep! But hey it keeps you from being Mr. Serious all the time. If I wasn't here I think you'd never smile Ciel."
I gave out a small chuckle and pulled out the studs from the box, placing them into place.
"Masters?"
I looked to the door to see Sebastian coming in with a cart with tea and a large cake sitting on top of it.
He smiled and said, "For starters Happy Birthday Master Ciel. For this occasion I have made a double chocolate cake with fresh strawberries, and whipped topping. Along with that I have some Earl Grey tea with fresh rasberries on the side as a garnish."
I nodded and said, "Thank you Sebastian."
Skyler's smile grew wider and said, "Cake for breakfast! I love birthdays no matter who's it is! Thank you Uncle Sebby!"
I gave a small laugh as Sebastian held out a piece of cake to my brother. He's such a goofy little kid... But he knows the time for fun and the time to get serious... He'll make a fine Earl when Sebastian takes my soul...
Maybe he's right... He does keep me in check and makes sure I do enjoy the life I still have.
And I am truly greatful to have a younger brother as great as him.
KAIRI'S P.O.V.
"No luck in the worlds that are discovered. How goes it on your end?" The King asked.
Riku sighed and said, "Well, we checked out 12 different worlds... But no luck so far..."
One month we've been searching and they're still hundreds, no thousands of worlds we haven't checked.
The King sighed and said, "We'll keep seaching. What world are you two on course to after this?"
I replied after pulling out a list, "We're going to the alternate earths... Mostly in the London area. The Wizarding World, Camalot, Middle Earth, Flammel's world, and The Victorian Age. We should have them all checked out by the end of the month."
The King nodded and asked, "Can you tell me about these worlds from the reports you've gathered?"
Riku nodded and said, "The Wizarding World is baised around magic, wands, wizards, witches, broomsticks, the whole shabang. They even have a school to where they learn to use magic starting at age eleven."
I then said, "Then there's Camalot, which is very sucessful kingdom like Disney Castle your masjesty. Magic, knights, and dragons are common sights there, it's actually Merlin's home world."
Riku continued by saying, "Middle Earth on the other hand is at war with dark forces, but not the heartless, still contains a lot of magical creatures as well. While Flammel's World is more magic based using alchemy and immortals. And before you ask not the same alchemy they use in Amestris... Ed would be pissed if I compared his alchmey to that of Flammel's."
I sighed and said, "The last one has little to no magic, and what magic there is very dark. Centered around shinigami, demons, and angels... This one we have to be extremely careful around. Could easily have our souls stolen or killed."
The King nodded and said, "Alright, hopefully we'll find Sora soon and we maybe able to help these worlds a bit more, that are dealing with the dark forces."
The screen went black and I sat back in my chair...
"Namine..."
"Yes..." She replied telepathicly.
"Can you try calling out to Roxas again while we're in the worlds...?"
"Sure Kairi... I want to find them too."
I looked out the window of the Gummi Ship...
Hopefully, you're alright... Sora...
SKYLER'S P.O.V.
"Skyler you must act quickly! If I am to save your life, you must say yes..." Uncle Sebby's voice echoed through my mind.
Ciel had his soul stolen so the contract couldn't be completed... So the darkness festered inside of him, turning my brother into a demon about 2 years ago...
Honestly I didn't mind... Ciel is my brother, I did not want to see him die... Now he will never die...
Funny...
He will never die, but right now I am the one who is dying... Someone was holding a gudge against my brother and since he 'died' he had it out for me now, and to this moment I still had no clue who this man was but he knew about me...
The new 13 year old, wheelchair bound, Earl Phantomhive... The new Guard dog of the Queen...
Sebastian and Ciel always watched me from the shadows making sure I was alright, since I still couldn't walk. Those two guarded me, but I never saw them, not once during the time when Ciel supposedly died...
But the man who came after me... They didn't see the gun in time and I couldn't run...
I felt the bullet go though my chest, sending a horrible pain through my body, and finally my body grew weightless and all the pain stopped.
"Skyler!" I heard my brother scream.
I opened my eyes to see I was floating amoung a sea of feathers, draped in a red cloth... Within the sea was the raven form of Uncle Sebby and the wolf form of Brother... Ciel told me of this place...
"The relam between life and death..." I whispered.
Ciel nodded and said, "Yes... Now you are dying brother... Sebastian has offered the way out to you... I would have offered it to you, but you know the price as well as I do..."
I looked at him and said, "Yes... I do know the price Ciel..."
I looked at Uncle Sebby and said, "I will form a contract with you... Sebastian...Where you shall serve me until my wish comes true... Then you may devour my soul..."
For a formal contract like this... I needed to use his real name...
He looked at me and asked, "What is it that you desire?"
I looked up and said, "To have my family back home with me, I miss seeing you and Ciel... It's lonely without my Uncle Sebby and my big brother Ciel... And to stop those who I say that are evil that wander the streets and give them what they deserve. Eternal damnation... I want to stop those evils and have my family at my back all the way. This is my only wish Sebastian. Can you do this for me?"
The bird and wolf came over and Uncle Sebby said, "Very well it's a deal."
They transformed and Uncle Sebby placed his hand over my left eye and Ciel over my heart.
"The mark I place on you brother is one of protection... If you are in danger... I will be there to aid in protecting you... And it allows you to keep me in check as well." Ciel said with his blood red eyes looking into my icy blue.
He looked down and said in a hurried whisper, "I'm so sorry little brother... This will hurt..."
I felt the pain roll from my head to my chest finally forcing me to black out from the overwhelming pain.
"Skyler? Are you okay?" I opened my eyes to see Ciel and Uncle Sebby standing over me. Or at least I think it was Ciel... I really couldn't tell.
He looked older, than before and more sauve than before, he could easily pull off for Uncle Sebby's brother if he wanted to... I thought he was stuck in the form of a 13 year old.
Ciel smiled and said in his new smooth voice, "Good, you are awake brother... How do you feel?"
I sat up a bit feeling the pain through every part of my body and said, "Like crap...But..."
I was able to wiggle my toes and said, "My legs work again... I think I may be able to walk once I'm healed..."
Ciel petted my head and said, "All a part of the contract dear brother. You need your legs to reach your wish."
Uncle Sebby looked at me and said, "Your eye will need to be covered my Lord. Don't want every well wisher to know you've contracted a demon and have a demon protection seal as well."
He quickly tied the loose cloth around my eye nice and tight making sure nothing was visible through it, which also meant I couldn't see through it as well.
Uncle Sebby smirked and Ciel and said, "Your contract form is quite amusing Ciel. I never thought you would actually get to use it, considering the fact you swore you were never going to make a contract in the first place."
Brother rolled his eyes and said, "We'll this is an obivous exception, due to the fact my little brother was fucking dying! Let's just get him back to the manor. Hopefully they don't recoginze me anymore."
I smiled and said, "Well if they did it wouldn't be a problem... They are true friends of the Phantomhive house and shall never betray us. Even if one is a demon and the other is contracted to one."
Uncle Sebby picked me up and said, "That is true. They maybe nitwits, but they are trustworthy nitwits. Let's head home, shall we Master?"
I nodded as I slowly drifted into sleep once more in Uncle Sebby's arms.
My family is back where they belong...
My legs are beginning to work again...
All because I sold my soul to Sebastian...
And I couldn't be happier.
