Chapter 2

Their journey back to the manor was silent, Sebastian walking ahead of Ciel, sighing quietly to himself, he thought this job was going to be easy, to serve the bratty Earl and get his soul. But no, that girl had to turn up and cause memories to resurface.

Ciel kept an eye on his butler from where he walked, he had never seen Sebastian like this, he wondered what his life was like before he was summoned to his call. Nevertheless, he knew that he was going to find out about Sebastian's past, it was an order and Sebastian cannot disobey an order.

Sebastian continued to walk trying to rack his memory for some sort of recollection of the girl.

Leica? That's what she called herself, and that guy? Her father? Why does his voice seem very, very similar?Sebastian continued walking until the pair got back to the manor, where he held the door open for his young master. "I shall prepare some tea for you, sir," he said with a small bow. Ciel only nodded in response. He knew that he would get what he wanted soon enough. So he went to his study, where he waited.

Sebastian went to make Ciel the cup of tea, like he said, all the while racking his brain, wondering where he knew her from. The voice of her father... now where have I heard that before? Sebastian continued to muse, he would hate to admit it but it bugged him slightly. He wouldn't let her call him father, she had to call him sir. I know someone who is like that. But what's his name. Her name was Leica, Leica why does that ring a bell? Sebastian was all for giving up on this chain of thought, hopefully, Ciel will have started to fall asleep so he wouldn't have to tell him what it was that he wanted to know.

Thanks to that girl he was going to have to talk about something that he wasn't quite at ease with talking about. Now Sebastian was not infallible, he wasn't this 'perfect' butler that everyone thought he was, well he was if they viewed him as a human, which they did, and in that sense they all knew he was ridiculously capable at his job, and most put it down to having to work for Ciel. But for the demon that Sebastian was, being this perfect butler was just something to distract him from the truth. As a demon Sebastian had made a fair few mistakes, one of which arguably had led to the upcoming events. Not that he was the one to call it a mistake, no the one to call his action a mistake was Leica's father.

As Sebastian was wheeling the service trolley along to where his master was he continued to think, his mind hopelessly churning, trying to find that blasted demons name. It was when he was knocking on the door of the study when realization hit him. Leviathan... That's his name. Sebastian let out a small sigh. Not only did that cause him trouble, it caused him twice as much trouble and a headache as everything seemed to slip into place. He now knew how he knew the girl, what relation she was to him, and what had happened for them to lose contact. It pained him, if pained him to know that this girl was someone he cared about.

The demon quietly entered the room, not looking at Ciel, after he had realized that Ciel wasn't asleep, no he didn't want to face that question, and it was bad enough that he was showing mortal emotions, he did not want to any emotions in front of his master. He quietly poured a cup of tea for Ciel before stepping back.

"Take a seat," Ciel said taking a sip of his tea. Sebastian shook his head.

"No, master" Sebastian replied "it isn't my place."

"I don't care if it's your place or not, I'm telling you to sit, so sit." Ciel replied. Sebastian couldn't do anything except do as Ciel said, going and sitting in the chair, well not sitting, more like falling into the chair. Ciel just looked at him quietly, trying to read his butlers posture and expressions.

Sebastian's expressions, well Ciel's interpretations anyway, was that Sebastian was pained and guilty.

"Well then." Ciel said setting his cup of tea down. "Why don't you start explaining things from the start, it's usually easier that way." Though Sebastian stayed stubbornly quiet, he didn't look at Ciel, his eyes their fiery demonic glow, fixed on a spot on the desk in front of him.

"Did you forget my order?" Ciel reminded him sharply, causing Sebastian's eyes to snap to his master's attention.

"No." He said quietly, submissively. "I-I just don't want to talk about it."

"I don't care." Ciel replied, "Meeting that girls changed your attitude and now I want to know why."

"It doesn't matter" Sebastian replied, couldn't Ciel see that he didn't want to talk about it. But then again Ciel was a stubborn brat at the best of times.

"It does." Ciel replied, taking a slightly softer tone with him, "you know almost everything there is to know about me, and I want to understand you a bit more." He said before adding, "please"

Sebastian sat quietly for about 5 minutes, "alright." He said caving into his master's wish, "but forgive me if it takes a while." Ciel nodded and waited for Sebastian to recount his tale.
