Chapter One: Reborn Anew

The next time Ciel woke it was because of the shouts and murmurings. Groaning, he tried to move his limbs. He felt like an old man with a weak and fragile body. The room was silenced from his quiet noise and movements. He opened his left eye and quickly shut it. The brightly light room that he was in was the kind you definitely didn't want to wake up in. A deep voice spoke up from the crowd around him. It was a surprisingly soothing voice for one so deep.

"Don't move yet. You are still recovering."

"He wouldn't have to be recovering if it wasn't for that DEMON of yours!" Another voice screamed at the other. This voice was feminine and had an otherworldly quality to it. Shouts immediately rose up from two sides of the room, one in defense the other for the offense.

It seemed this arguing had been going on for awhile. How long had he been out? Also, who were these people? How did they know about demons? Where was he? And where was Sebastian?! He couldn't feel his presence around him.

Ciel struggled to open his eyes with the realization that he was in a strange place that could possibly hold enemies and Sebastian was nowhere to be found. His dizziness faded away and his energy returned. He pried open his eyes and looked around. It seems he was in a gigantic room that was so white it was blinding. He was situated in the middle of the room on the floor and around him were three desks. One person sat at each desk. There were groups behind each of them. The group on his right was where the deep voice came from. He was sitting with his arms crossed and leaning back in his chair. He was observing Ciel calmly while the others argued amongst themselves.

The man had a dark beauty to him, alike to that of Sebastian's. He towered over his followers, even when sitting down, and he had long wavy black hair. He had a cloak that almost seemed like it was made of shadows and a helmet with a hooked beak and curved horns. From behind, inky black wings spread out and the tips curled unto the floor. His followers all had wings; however, they were in different shades of black and grays. They all appeared to be demons; it was a little unnerving for Ciel. He had never seen another demon except Sebastian.

The next group was to his left, which is where the feminine voice had come from. The woman appeared to be the leader. She and her followers were arguing with the demon's followers. She was wearing a white dress like those of the Greek goddesses. She had long blonde hair that shined like the sun at noon. It flowed around her body to her thighs. Gold bracelets wrapped around her wrists and clinked whenever she moved them. Pure white wings preached and flowed off her back to the floor. Her face was twisted in a sneer; it was the only thing that made her look hideous and ugly. Ciel didn't like angels, not after what happened.

The group in the middle and right in front of him was the last. They were the only ones without wings; there was only a few of them though. Someone stood out to Ciel, William T. Spears. William Spears belonged to the group called shinigami. He was from the Dispatch management Division; however, it seemed that the job of leader of this group had been assigned to him. Sitting stiffly and uptight, he wore black; black gloves, black pants, black shoes, and a black tuxedo top with black glasses to match. He had ebony colored hair and his expression was totally blank. Ciel didn't really know what to think about him. He didn't particularly dislike or like him.

"Why am I here?" Ciel's quiet voice was heard only by the demon king. The demon king gracefully got up and advanced to Ciel. He crouched next to him, his shadowy cape pooling around him. Holding a hand out, he helped Ciel to his feet and took a step back.

"My name is Malphas. I'm known as the demon king and lord of the underworld. You are here because of the one you call Sebastian." His voice rumbled. The arguing quieted down until it was no more. "He has broken the most important code of the demon world. We are deciding what we are going to do about it."

Ciels heartbeat picked up. Thoughts ran rampant around in his head. What has Sebastian done? Why hadn't he taken his soul and completed the contract? Where was he?

"Where is he?"

"That filthy demon has been knocked out; I admit he was putting up quite a fight." The leader angel jeered. She and her angels laughed. She had stood up and moved towards them. She smoothly continued, "Maybe he will die from his injuries and…"

"Shut up." Ciel interrupted her, "I wasn't talking to you. You didn't even correctly answer my question." Someone snickered from the demon group. She glared daggers towards them. Just as she was about to talk again, Ciel continued calmly. "I want to see him. Now." Grins spread across the demons faces. How amusing.

"Who are you to demand such things?! You are in no position to! That demon of yours broke the law and soul bonded with you! It's forbidden to soul bond with a human, much less one with a contract! You are in as much trouble as…." A shinigami was abruptly cut off by a weapon almost taking his head off. He screamed and ducked out of the way.

"Be quiet. We are only here to observe. This is between the angels, demons, that demon Sebastian and Ciel Phantomhive." William Spears reduced the length of his double-sided clippers. He brought it up and adjusted his glasses with it.

"Sorry" The shinigami grumbled, "that law about the soul bond applies to us all though…" William glared at him and was silenced.

"A soul bond?" Ciel whispered. A tingling feeling occurred on the side of his neck. He slowly brought up a hand to his neck. Sebastian had bitten him, hadn't he? It was coming together, though he couldn't figure out why his demon would do such a thing. Emotions were swelling up inside him, threatening to burst out. He beat them back down, now was neither the time nor place for them. He had to keep thinking calmly about all this. Emotions made you appear weak. He wasn't going to present himself like that with so many unknowns around.

"Yes, I am sure with your intelligence you can guess what that means. You and he have obtained a bonded soul. Whatever questions you have, you can ask the one you know as Sebastian." Malphas told him. "Come. I will take you to him." Malphas turned around and strides towards the doorway that led out.

"What are you doing?" Ciel and Malphas ignored her. "Hey! Where do you think you're going, we haven't come to a decision yet!" The angel leader yelled after him.

"I have." Malphas stopped and answered without turning around. "I approve and will allow this. He is a demon, which means he is under my authority. That is all." Silent, once again, he continued out the door. Ciel proceeded out through the doorway and out into the hallway, he had to see Sebastian. They had a lot to talk about after all.

The door closed with a bang.
