Chapter Two

Their Butler, Basics(Naruto)


Ciel sighed as he entered his little master's apartment. He cringed at every damn sound the rotten floorboards made. He scowled as his eyes found every piece of mold in the apartment. It grew in every damn corner and crevice that the shitty apartment held. Ciel mentally vowed that he would kill whoever rented the apartment to his little master. No kid deserved this kind of place.

Ciel made his way into his master's bedroom, laying him gently on the bed. His nose crinkled at the mere sight of the blond's ratty sheets. He sighed yet again, it seemed like he would have a thousand and one things to do tomorrow. Ciel opened his master's single dresser pulling out a large orange t-shirt. As he undressed Naruto he felt like pulling out his hair. His little master was literally all skin and bones.

He really shouldn't be that surprised; he had carried the blond in his arms after all. Maybe he didn't notice because he assumed the seven year old was the correct weight, BUT Naruto was disgustedly underweight. Frankly, Ciel was surprised that the blond wasn't dead or in some sort of coma from the lack of nutrition.

He slid the orange t-shirt onto the blond's frail body, afterwards tucking him into bed. Ciel watched as Naruto moved several times on the bed before settling in one area. "You're my angel, Ciel." Naruto murmured, and Ciel felt his lips quirk upwards.

"You don't know how wrong you are."

Naruto opened his mouth to answer, but all that came out was a sleepy yawn, "Thank...zzz...you...for...saving...me." His azure eyes fluttered open for a brief second before closing. The young blond had fallen into a deep sleep, snoring softly. Ciel eyed Naruto for a few more seconds, making sure the blond was safe and comfortable. He decided that he would take Naruto to the hospital tomorrow to get a check-up. He didn't trust that his little master was completely okay.

Ciel's thoughts about the blond were broken when he heard a loud crash. The sound of laughter accompanied it. Ciel growled lowly. He stalked into living room where the crash had come from.

Ciel walked into the living area to see several large rocks lying on the floor with broken glass surrounding them. He went over to the window, glaring down into the darkened alleyway. His eyes found a group of civilians consisting of three boys with fiery red hair, and a brunette woman with blue eyes. They appeared to be around sixteen to twenty years old. Ciel snarled, jumping from the window to land in front of the group.

"Hello, may I inquire what you all are doing here?" Ciel greeted, folding his arms. The civilians jumped at the appearance of him, the hair on the back of their necks raised. Killer Intent seemed to leak off of Ciel reminding the villages of the horrible Kyuubi attack. However, they held their composure opting to hide their fear behind confidence. Ciel rolled his eyes. Mortals were utterly stupid. If they weren't going to listen to their instincts it would be their funeral.

"W-w—we're here to finally to rid the world of this demon. Would you like to take part?" The brunette woman said. She inwardly cursed at herself. Her voice sounded so weak.

"Why, would I want to harm a child?" Ciel questioned, confused. He had seen his little master's soul. It was so light and warm with the barest hint of darkness. He had thought that mortals were naturally attracted to a soul like his master's. To kill something so pure was heinous. The group of mortals stared at him oddly.

"You're not from around here around you?" The brunette questioned, miffed. "If you were from around here you wouldn't be calling the demon a child."

"I am not from around here," Ciel admitted, however, he pressed, "that doesn't excuse your behavior when it comes to him."

The brunette sneered, "That "boy" is a fucking demon. It is the Kyuubi no Yoko in disguise. It's only a matter time before it kills the entire village. The Sandaime should've drowned the thing when it was most vulnerable." She finished, panting.

Ciel stared at the group for a long time. He could see the approval on the boys' faces when the woman's little speech was over. He couldn't believe that they thought that his little master was a demon. The very thought was laughable. Ciel had come to the conclusion that mortals became dumber as time went on. "No one would miss them," He thought sizing up the group, it would be better if he got rid of them.

"Do you people honestly believe the shit she spews? A demon? Ha! You don't know the meaning of the word. I can show you a real demon." Ciel said.

The group took a step back. Fear written all over their faces. Ciel took a playful step forward, adopting a look of an innocent child. "You know, there are people that are worse than demons out there, like rapists, serial killers, and Gods. Yet, you simple people think a child is worthy of the title you've bestowed upon him? I'm disgusted."

Ciel took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I didn't come out here to preach, I came out here to play a game." The group shivered involuntarily at his chilled tone, "All of you have a full minute to run and hide. Let's see which one of you will last the longest? Which one of you will survive?"

Ciel carefully turned on his heel; the group could only see the back of his dark blue shirt. "You guys should start running now. It's no use, but humans like to try and invade the inevitable." He chuckled loudly. He could hear their hearts pounding frantically against their chest and furious scrapping as they tried to hide in small and unseen places in the alleyways.

Ciel whistled a small tune as he began walking. He knew where each and every one of them was. Their fear wafted off of them in thick waves easily pinpointing their location to him. He figured that he should kill the brunette first, though. His newly acquired master was his, and to insult his little master was to insult him.

He strolled a couple of paces to the left, and then he crouched to the ground. A rather large hole that would've gone unnoticed to any human at night was at the base of an old building; Ciel grinned as he peered in to the darkness. "I've found you." He taunted.

The woman screamed shrilly! The blood-curdling sound ripped through the air, but no one came to her aid. Ciel closed in on the girl, his left eye glowing red. "It's been a long time since I've had a soul like yours." He snickered, " Bon appétit to me then."


Uzumaki Naruto's blue eyes flickered open, and his pink lips formed a small "o" as he yawned. He sat up, stretching. The boy scratched his bright, blond locks staring at his bedroom in amazement. Everything was so clean. There was no more yucky stuff growing at the corners of the room. The smell of dust no longer made his nose twitch. He wondered who had done this. Perhaps the old lady that lived a few doors for him had finally decided to take care of him like Jiji said she would do.

The young blond leapt off his bed, careful not to make any noise. He was momentarily distracted by how shiny the wooden floors were, but he got over it when he suddenly smelled bacon and eggs. His eyes widened to saucers. He ran into the kitchen where he saw an unfamiliar person making breakfast. For a while he could only stare, he wasn't exactly sure what to do. If this person was a threat he should run away and hide until Jiji came (Most of the time he knew when he was in trouble.), or if this person was nice he should sit at the table with his best manners. It was a hard choice, and he didn't want to scare this new person away.

Naruto resolved to walk to his simple dining room table. He would sit down and wait to gauge this new person's reaction to him. Naruto mentally prepared himself for the usual fear and rejection from the new person. "He always repulsed them", Naruto thought sadly. He hadn't had a single clue as to why.

He only had to wait a couple more minutes until the new person had shut the stove off. Naruto kept his blue eyes locked to the table while the person shuffled to the table and placed a plate full of food in front of him, and a glass of orange juice along with a silver fork next to him. He didn't dare look up until the chair across from screeched back and he heard the person settle down.

"Pretty," Naruto whispered, his tanned cheeks stained red. He studied the boy across from him. He had milky skin with luscious black hair that had a tinge of blue. He wore an eye patch across his right eye, while the visible eye was a deep sapphire. He appeared to be about fourteen years old yet he carried himself as if he was older. Years older. "Who are you?" Naruto finally asked when he broke out of his reverie.

"I'm hurt, sukoshi masutā. You don't remember your savior." The boy teased, taking a delicate bite out of his bacon.

Naruto gasped. The chessboard, the villagers, blood, pain, and then his angel—all of it came together. His beautiful angel Ciel. The person that saved his life when nobody else would. "My angel." Naruto said with gratitude laced in his words. He wanted to hug his angel, but he had a feeling that his angel wouldn't like it so much.

"I'm no servant of God that was sent here to protect you. I'm no angel." His angel disagreed.

"I don't believe you!" Naruto exclaimed, folding his arms. Ciel could only sigh; there was no use in fighting with a seven year old. He knew from experience that they were notoriously stubborn when protecting their ideals.

"Fine, don't believe me. However, you need to eat. I won't have my little master looking so thin and scrawny. Furthermore, we need to get groceries, enroll you in Shinobi School, and take you to the hospital. Not exactly in that order."

Naruto nodded excitedly, gladly complying with Ciel's request. He shoveled as much food as he could in his mouth. He hadn't tasted anything like this in his life. It was nice not to eat ramen for breakfast, although the food was still his favorite. It was a welcome change. When he was done, he stretched out patting his stomach with content smile. "Thank you, angel."

"You're really persistent with the name." Ciel groused, his eyebrow twitching.

Naruto just gave him a sunny smile. It dropped off his face within seconds; he slid off his seat returning to his room in a blur. Ciel was left wondering about the radical personality change. He slowly got up from his seat following the same path as Naruto.

He watched in confused amusement as Naruto whirled around the room grabbing things, and throwing random articles of clothing on the floor. He abruptly stopped in the middle of the room now wearing orange shorts and a black t-shirt with a weird red-swirl on the back. Ciel as noted the blond wore green goggles on his head, and was clutching a white piece of paper with glee.

"Iruka-sensei going to be so happy when he saw I did my homework. Today, I'm sure he won't glare at me like all of those villagers. I'm sure of it!" He continued to babble on and on, now walking out his bedroom. Ciel continued to follow him.

Naruto gave his apartment a once over only stopping to place minor items in different places, inconspicuous places. "I'll see you later, angel. I gotta go to school now!" Naruto waved to Ciel who was standing at the center of his living room. He exited his apartment leaving Ciel alone. He stayed; rooted in the spot honestly surprised his little master had been going to school. It was one less thing to worry about when it came to his master.

"Now what," he thought. His eyes traveled the dwelling. It was cleaner than it had been when he had originally came here; there were still major changes to be made. He could do that or follow his little master around the village. There were still so many things that he didn't know about the blond, and he still needed to make that appointment with the doctor. Not to mention that he had to somehow re-enter society, so he could protect his master. All of the stuff needed to do almost made Ciel want to summon Sebastian to do this for him. However, he knew what would come out of it if he admitted he needed his butler's help.

With a sullen expression he exited the apartment via window. He stayed close to the shadows, scowling when a figure unexpectedly dropped to his side. "Sebastian," He hissed, "what are you doing here?"

Sebastian shrugged, that annoying smirk that Ciel hated so much was pasted on his face. "Seeing my soul to school. By the way bocchan there was a considerable amount of food missing from his pantry. Do you know where it went?"

"Shut up, my soul has only ramen in his cupboards."

Ciel glared at Sebastian, "Don't say anything."

"I wouldn't dream of it, bocchan."

If glares could kill Sebastian would be dead several times over, each more gruesome than the last. Sebastian took Ciel's glares with a smile. A thousand years plus years with the boy, his glares were ineffective. "I need you to find out as much information as possible on Uzumaki Naruto and the Kyuubi no Yoko."

Sebastian bowed, "As you wish."

Ciel waved him off, his attention already back on the task on hand. He needed to be extremely careful. There was shinobi swarming throughout this whole village. He couldn't afford to be caught, and draw unnecessary attention.
