Author's Notes: Hello again awesome readers! I'd like to say thanks for the reviews because that is ultimately what keeps me going on this story. Your comments and pleads for me to finish "His Butler, Sick" was what pushed me to write the first chapter of "The Sickly Butler", I just couldn't stand leaving you guys alone anymore. So here we are! This chapter is where the changes start to happen and where the stories really seem different. The same things will basically happen. But different characters will be added (Snake instead of Pluto. I can't quite stand the anime anymore because I've read the manga and got used to that.) and they may be in a different sequence. But anyway, here is chapter 2! Hope you like it!

(Sebastian's POV)

It was odd having to sleep. I never really needed to except to pass time when I was stuck in Hell. But that was a very long time ago. I am an ancient demon after all. I am "He who spread the Black Death into Europe."! But when I woke, I was taxed with an even weirder feeling. I felt as if the sun was beating immensely down on my skin. My face was covered in a very thin layer of sweat, and what shocked me the most, was I woke at about the time I always start to get ready. Now this doesn't seem shocking, but I never expected to sleep all night. I thought that at some point I would wake, and start to read like always.

I shook the questioning thoughts from my mind and got up to change into my uniform. But when I stood, my vision blurred and I became dizzy. I focused my vision and forced more thoughts to the back of my mind.

Must be from sleeping so long…

But as I stood beside my bed, the room started to spin, making me feel even dizzier. I grabbed the railing on my bed and again forced my vision to clear. I started to feel light headed, and the dizziness made me slightly motion sick, but the spell soon passed and I was able to get ready for my usual day of chores.

Odd...

As I got ready, I realized that I had a slight headache and a slightly sore throat. I changed into my uniform but almost immediately felt like taking it off. My body felt warmer than usual, which caused slight questioning of my health. I then gathered my thoughts and tried to come up with an explanation. "It couldn't be…no if it were that I would feel much worse." I whispered to myself. "It must be a slight cold, nothing to stay in bed about." I said. I finished dressing myself and I cleaned myself up as best I could, hoping no one would notice my aliments.

This is just a cold. It'll be gone before the next morning…

I then headed out of my room and down to the kitchen hallway where I met with the other servants and again gave them their orders for the day. I started to prepare the tea for the Earl, instructing Meyrin to pick out a tea set from the china cabinet. She complied and did what was told. But again, like always, as soon as I walked away to pick out the tea, she knocked the china cabinet over, and smashed every item stored there. The loud crash caused my headache to become slightly worse.

"I-I-I-I-I'm sorry, Mr. Sebastian!" She cried, fumbling to clean up the mess. I sighed and helped pick up the shattered teacups, plates, and bowls. The whole time we cleaned she mumbled to herself and apologized to me. I found the whole situation both familiar and frustrating. I ended up clenching my aching head, trying to get it to stop pounding. "M-Mr. Sebastian?" She called but I waved her away.

After the mess was cleaned, I instructed Meyrin to get the extra tea set from the basement. She nodded and ran off, but I yelled after her to be careful. "Don't break them again!" I yelled with a sigh. Sometimes the other servants were okay to deal with, but other days, I just can't seem to control them. It seems today they would be difficult.

I continued with my work, and went on to start breakfast preparations. I started to cook and for a while nothing happened. But soon very loud yelling rudely interrupted me. I instantly recognized the voice to be Finny's, which meant I would have to go outside to the garden to figure out was wrong. After I heard Finny's voice, several loud bangs followed. I knew Finny was throwing something heavy, but I couldn't tell what it was from just the noise. I hurried up the stairs and out the foyer door. I followed a path around to the garden and found both Finny and Snake in the middle of what looked kind of like a fight.

"Finny! Stop throwing boulders at me!...says Wordsworth." Snake cried in a deeper octave than his normal voice. As soon as I saw what was going on, I realized what was going on. One of Snake's snakes had gotten away from him and was now in the garden, scaring Finny. Because the child was frightened, he wasn't listening to Snake, and was reacting by throwing boulders at the snake, which was smashing and destroying everything that was planted there. I immediately acted and pulled Finny away from another boulder he was trying to throw. Snake ran over and collected the snake, thanking me in the process.

Why, of all days? Do they decide to act up?

"I-I'm sorry!" Finny yelled, realizing that he had destroys half of the garden.

"Just clean up the mess, and see if you can save some of the plants. Report to me when you are done…" I ordered, sounding rather annoyed. He saluted me and got to work, Snake helped him knowing it would help prevent any more problems, although knowing the servants, that wasn't likely.

Hopefully Bard doesn't cause trouble until after breakfast…

After that situation was taken care of, I headed back into the Manor and continued to prepare the Master's tea. When I arrived back in the kitchen, I found the tea set on the counter where I had asked Meyrin to place it. I continued with making the tea and soon placed it on my cart. It was then I realized how much my head and throat had deteriorated. Every step I took made my head hurt worse, and the constant frustration from the other servants was making my throat sorer. Not to mention my risen temperature was making me feel warmer.

I looked at the time and headed up to the Master's bedroom. When I arrived I again slowly opened the door and walked inside. Walking over to the window, I drew back the curtains and let light fill the room.

(Ciel's POV)

I heard Sebastian call out to me like usual. Upon hearing him I sat up and yawned, stretching as I did so.

"Young Master, it is time for you to wake." Sebastian called. He handed me my tea and headed over to the closet to pick out my outfit for the day. I watched him closely, feeling that something was wrong. Though he was acting completely normal so I didn't want to press the topic.

"Still feeling overworked, Sebastian?" I asked. He smiled his usual smile and claimed he was fine. I didn't believe him and felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. He came over with the clothes and started to dress me. I acted as always, silently drinking my tea as he dressed me in what he'd picked out.

"Today's schedule includes a Violin lesson, and a dance lesson with your usual instructor. After both appointments, I assume you will review the crime reports in your office?" Sebastian asked, I nodded and continued to drink my tea. He leaned forward and started to button the jacket he placed around my shoulders. I observed him and soon realized that heat was surfacing from his hands, even through his gloves.

Is he warm from cooking?

"Is breakfast finished?" I asked, as he finished clothing me. His usual smile turned into a slight frown as he explained why it wasn't.

"Not quite...I ran into some trouble with Finny, Meyrin, and Snake so I am running a little behind schedule. I'm sorry, Young Lord." He replied. I sighed and ordered he bring it to my study when it was finished. He nodded and bowed to me. Then he made his way out of the room and down to the kitchen where he continued with breakfast.

I should let the other servants go…

(Back to Sebastian's POV)

By now my headache had grown into a migraine and every little noise, even the click of my shoes, made my head throb. I was reluctant to even move because even that was painful.

"This can't be a cold…" I whispered with a small sigh. "But even so, I have work to do." I said to myself. I slowly started to walk back to the kitchen to continue with breakfast preparations, but right as I stepping in and started cooking, I felt a tickle form in my throat. This threw me into a coughing fit, which I muffled with my arm.

After the fit ended, I found myself feeling even more tired. But I gathered up all my strength and pushed on, cooking and finishing the preparations. When I finished, I placed the food on my cart. I leaned heavily on the handle as I rolled the cart up to the Master's study. I came up to the door and straightened my stance, knocking once to announce my arrival.

"Come in." I heard the Master call. I opened the door and pushed the breakfast over to the Earl's desk. I took the plates and placed it on the desk. Then I gracefully poured tea into a teacup I had again prepared. He started to eat and I stood behind him like usual. I again looked at my watch and realized that it was nearly 9:45, almost time for Master's violin lessons.

"If you'll excuse me, sir. I need to go prepare for your violin lesson that will start shortly." I said with a bow. I backed out of the room and did as I said, setting up and picking out new music for the Lord to learn.

X_X

"Crescendo, my Lord." I commanded. But he did not listen. "This is a simple piece, yet you still struggle with it." I sighed. "It is played to this tempo." I then tapped out the tempo and sang the part out loud, hoping it would help him learn the rhythms.

"I can't play it, Sebastian. It's for someone of your skill!" Ciel cried. "This sheet music is too hard!" He complained. I shook my head and took the violin from him, placing it to my neck and playing out the rhythms. After I finished, I had him try again, but it seemed to go nowhere.

I again tried to coach Ciel through the piece but a loud explosion coming from the kitchen soon interrupted us. I immediately knew what had happened and the though alone made me feel worse.

I feel horrible…

We both ran down stairs and to the kitchen, finding exactly what we thought. Bard stumbled out of the kitchen, covered in soot, and hair taking the form of some sort of Afro shape.

"Bard! What did I tell you about using dynamite to cook?" I asked, sounding overly aggravated. He looked very scared and sheepish, but he had a reason to.

"You told me not to. But, Mr. Sebastian it always seemed to work back when I was in battle… Why in the bloody hell, doesn't it work now? Have I forgotten how?" He said, the last half being to himself. I was getting fed up with the servants of this house, no matter how I taught them, they never learned and still did everything the same.

"J..Just go on. I'll clean up this mess." I said, trying my hardest not to yell again. I honestly just wanted the day to end. Maybe tomorrow I'd feel better? But probably not, considering what it probably was. I just kept getting worse, there was no way I would feel well again soon.

My head hurts…my throat is sore…and now I feel weak, like I'll collapse at any moment. It has to be that…

Suddenly, if that wasn't enough, I heard another loud noise. Now clenching my throbbing head, I looked to the hallway where the noise had come from. I found Meyrin fallen on the ground, a box of smashed plates a few feet in front of her. This only made me feel worse. Every little thing that went on around me was making everything worse. And as this wasn't bad enough, Finny and Snake came in fighting about the garden.

Now I had several servants crying in my ear, and a furious Master complaining about how I did not prevent any of this. Everything was too much; they were all being loud and I was feeling worse by the second. I was gradually getting worse and worse with everything that happened.

It was all too much…

"Enough!" I yelled. Everyone became quiet as they felt the atmosphere in the room change. The candles were blown out by my power and a slight breeze blew through the room. "Stop all of this…at once." I said, suddenly feeling all of my energy leave me.

"Sebastian?" Ciel called, hearing my change in voice. "What's wrong?" He asked. Before I could reply, I felt my legs give out and I collapsed to the ground. I could hear all of them calling my name, but they all sounded distant. That was when everything went black.

To Be Continued…

Author's Notes: How did you like chapter 2? As you can see there are some distinct differences but I honestly think I did a better job this time around. I am really enjoying writing this! Hopefully I can keep up these day-to-day updates but we'll see how that goes. Please tell me what you think! Thanks for reading!
