When Harry eventually stood up after his rather high fall from the gates of heaven, he found himself in front of a mansion. A big white mansion filled with lights and people in their finery. He was standing near the road just in front of the mansion when he saw a carriage stop by and an odd combination of passengers get out of the said carriage. There was a Chinese guy with a girl that has got to be feeling the cold with her lack of clothing, an older looking woman with red hair brighter than any Weasley hair in a big red statement gown, and a young man in a black tux escorting a young lady in pink. Harry was about to dismiss the group to start looking for his charge when he heard the lady in red murmur not to quietly: "Ciel dear, you will be my niece tonight." So the girl in pink was his first assignment, Ciel Phantomhive. Harry attempted to get a closer look when the young man beside her, the one in black, stared at the angel and gave him a smile.
"Move along, this one's mine little angel." Harry gave the man a glare in return, he was not little! And neither would he 'move along' just because he said so. Harry walked towards the group with the full intent of introducing himself to Ciel when he noticed that no one else seemed to be paying him any attention except for the man in black. Speaking of, the aforementioned man held in an uncharacteristic snort when Harry noticed that he cannot be seen by anyone else. "Fly away now little angel." Apparently being an angel does not exempt one from unholy thoughts because at that moment Harry swore he could have sent a stunner on the man if not for his assignment speaking for the first time.
"Sebastian, who the hell are you talking to? The air?!" Harry's annoyance suddenly faded, it seemed like Ciel is not as lady-like as she appears to be. Maybe that's why she needed an angel.
The man in black, Sebastian if Harry heard right, did a complete change of aura and tilted his head towards Ciel: "Forgive me young mistress." He then led the group inside the mansion but not before flashing Harry one last smile as he guided Ciel's arm.
Harry has been observing Ciel all throughout the party. After the encounter outside, he opted to scout his assignment so to speak. So far it seemed like Ciel was somewhat off tonight, not that he had any idea on how Ciel would normally act. But she kept on avoiding a young girl with the big blonde pigtails, an unwanted friend perhaps? Then there was Sebastian who was currently dancing with Ciel. It was unclear what Sebastian is to Ciel. He was acting like a tutor, a friend, a servant, and a shadow all rolled in to one. Then there was that unexplainable tugging that Harry was feeling whenever Sebastian was near. Like something in him was being pulled while something in him resisted. It was not entirely painful or anything but it was uncomfortable and felt like an itch he could not scratch.
So far Harry thought that Ciel would be an easy assignment. Besides the somewhat bratty attitude, Ciel seems to like any other girl born into money. Teach her to be more giving, make friends, be less snobbish, and she could probably get a spot into heaven. Harry was expecting the rest of the night to be a boring society party and he was contemplating if he would attempt eating just to see if he still could when he felt a shock of fear. The sensation felt as if someone suddenly poured a bucket of ice water on his head. "Ciel!" He did not know how he knew but Harry knew that something was wrong with Ciel and he tried to locate him, only to see that Ciel was no longer inside the ballroom.
When Harry finally located Ciel, he found her inside a cage and what seemed to be the middle of an occult session of all things. "Bloody Hell! The girl's a trouble magnet like me!" Harry was about to interfere when he noticed Ciel taking of his headdress and eye patch exposing an amethyst eye with some kind of rune.
"Sebastian, I order you to kill those who shame the Phantomhive name and to free me!" Harry felt Sebastian before he saw him on the opposite side of the room with red glowing eyes and a hand with a rune, similar to what was on Ciel's eye.
"Yes, my lord." Wind started to pick up inside the room and Harry become aware of the sudden expression on Sebastian's face. He had witnessed that expression more than enough to know that it was the expression of a determined killer. Afraid for Ciel, Harry opened the cage that held Ciel and placed a protective ward around them. Focused on keeping anything out, Harry failed to note down the confused look on Ciel's face when he went near him. Harry failed to notice the tilt of Ciel's head and the sudden disappearance of his tense posture. Harry was focussed on keeping the spell and watching the massacre in front of him. He watched Sebastian kill what seem to be lackeys and the Viscount he saw Ciel dance with using eating utensils as deadly weapons. Sebastian's speed and strength was unexplainable and Harry could not see any evidence of magic. At that moment Harry knew that Sebastian was not human. Harry wanted to prevent the fight and stop Sebastian but somehow he knew it was not for him to meddle with. His hero complex could not butt in at the moment.
As soon as all the other inhabitants of the room were killed, Sebastian headed towards their direction. He looked as impeccable as he did when Harry first saw him outside the mansion. No signs of blood or the massacre he just did. Harry would latter on blame it on shock, but he dropped the protection wards around them and stepped away from Ciel. Sebastian gave him a brief look in acknowledgement before he picked Ciel up. "Young master, it seems like we have overstayed our welcome." It was after Sebastian had jumped off the window and was sprinting through the roof that Harry realized what he has done.
"I just left Ciel with a mass murderer." Harry fell on his knees, his mind was telling him to follow them and take Ciel as far away as he could from the killer but something in him also felt that Ciel would be safe. At least until he figured things out. "Only I would get a first assignment this confusing, an assignment with more complications than my life as Harry Potter. It looks like there's more to this than what I currently know. " With a sigh, Harry went around the blood-filled room and started closing the eyes of the people Sebastian killed, wishing them a good luck with St. Peter.
Before Harry left using the same window Sebastian jumped from earlier something struck Harry. "Wait, I swear Sebastian addressed Ciel as a boy twice...Ciel's a boy?!"
Technically, the whole story was intended as a long one-shot but I really do not have the patience to sit down and write the whole thing down so I'll be taking baby steps on the story instead :)) And as you may have probably noticed, I will not be following the episodes in Kuroshitsuji and the results of certain events...I will be doing a lot of skipping and altering as to what will happen in the storyline.
