Ciel sat down in his room. How will I be able to take Claude's soul back? Shinigami don't ever trust demons, and I don't even know any. Except for Ronald, but he's pretty serious about his job.
Ciel stood up to stretch. He couldn't recall when he began to do this since his muscles never felt sore. I'm probably imitating Sebastian without realizing. Having a brain similar to a human would take some getting used to.
Despite being about 10x stronger than humans, demons still had their limits, especially in human form.
I could just talk to Ronald, but if that doesn't work then the reapers will be expecting me, so they will prepare. But I have never been in the reaper palace or whatever you call it, since I don't know where they keep their souls.
He sighed and continued reading The Night Circus. No matter how silly humans could be, they always wrote better poetry and literature than demons, and sometimes reading gave him interesting ideas.
He read a couple chapters and then a sudden realization hit Ciel, Wait, reaped souls either go to Heaven or Hell! If he went to Hell I could go fetch him, but he's probably in Heaven which is a problem.

Later that day, Sebastian invited Ciel to watch his band, Ivaylo practice. He had to refrain from laughing, it's as if he sees me as his father.
"Hey, my friend wanted to watch us play, so be nice to him," Sebastian announced.
Ciel smiled to hide the fact that Sebastian made him look like some clingy loser. Why couldn't he just tell the truth?
Some girl with long red hair leaned toward Sebastian,"Is he your boyfriend?"
"No, he's just rooming with me," He said.
She giggled,"That's what they all say."
The redhead walked over towards Ciel,"Hey, are you his boyfriend?"
"No," Ciel said sternly.
"Then why did he invite you here. I mean I'm not trying to say that you're not welcome. I just wanna know why you're here," She said.
"We are roommates and he just wants to show me his talents," Ciel answered.
"I see, well he's very good. He actually wrote the song that we're gonna play. Anyway my name's Grell."
Ciel reached his hand out to shake Grell's,"I'm Ciel, Sebastian's butler."
Grell laughed,"Do you think Sebastian didn't tell me your name? Anyway you look too young to be a butler."
"I'm older than I look," he explained.
"I see, well you better not treat him badly," She warned.
Ciel nodded, this girl was strange.
Smells like reaper. Could she be of use to get Claude's soul back? Hopefully she doesn't sense that I'm a demon.
Two Chinese people walked through the door,"We're here!" A man wearing green announced.
"Okay Ciel, you should sit in that chair we prepared especially for you," Grell said pointing at a tall, red chair with fake roses on it.
Ass Sebastian's butler, Ciel didn't want to embarrass him in front of his friends for demanding another chair, so he just sat in it. He leaned back and put on a smile.

The band played their song. Grell sang the song beautifully in a low voice. Her gestures were overly dramatic though. Sebastian played the lead guitar with minimal unnecessary movement, and the Chinese guy played the bass guitar. The other redhead with shorter hair played the drums in the back. While the girl who was with that late guy played the keyboard. The song was upbeat, and had just enough dissonances for Ciel to enjoy it. It could almost convince a demon that humans were actually strong.
Almost.
Ciel stood up once the song finished, "That was actually pretty good."
"Thank you," Grell said.
"What are the other three member's name?" Ciel asked, motioning to them.
"Oh, The bass guitar is Lau, the drum player is Angelina, and the keyboard is Ran Mao," She answered.
"Well, I think it's time for me to go, I look forward to seeing you play live," Ciel said as he walked out the door.

I plan to update this every week, but I have school so we'll see how that goes
The Night Circus is a real and one of my favorite books. I recommend that you read it once you finish this.
Also please review if you love my work or if you think my writing is awkward or confusing or something like that.
