A Spider's misery.
Disclaimer: Same as chapter 2. I don't own nor have I created Kuroshitsuji in any way, shape, or form.
It would be so cool if I did though. I would have made billions. XD
Thank you/wishes: I would like to thank everyone for the views. You guys are truly awesome. I would also like to say T.G.I.F to those who go to school that read my story!
Apologies: I am sorry that this chapter is soooooooo late. High school really kills my free time! I'm sorry for the titles. The titles of the chapters are wrong. Chapter 1 was supposed to be named "The misery of Claude." The 2nd chapter was supposed to be named "Claude's nightmare, A war at hand." I am going to try naming these correctly, I also am sorry for putting up the same chapter twice and for all the grammar errors. Warning: Just in case you forgot…
"My name is Vidgealz" = Speaking
'My name is Vidgealz' = Thoughts
My name is Vidgealz = Narrating
This will slightly change when a dream or flash back occurs.
"My name is Vidgealz" = Speaking

With that said, on with the show… or story.
The sun has risen in London. Everyone is out and about doing their daily routine. Kids in school learning new subjects while at the same time being bored to death. Women going shopping and gossiping amongst their friends about what their families did last night and comparing their husbands to one another. Men driving chariots throughout the leaf filled streets, doing business and what not. As the sun's rays glimmers off of the green beautiful grass and yellow, red, and orange leafs, it also begins to enter the window of a manor. A Phantomhive Manor to be exact.
Sebastian Michaelis began his daily routine at 5:30 in the morning. That is an insane time if you ask me. It's a good thing work isn't necessarily the reason for him to be up. He wasn't one to do work early, but the sun rise was such a beautiful thing to look at. With all the colors of the sky blending into one, it was truly a master piece. He just couldn't miss it. He didn't originally think that the sun rise was beautiful. He actually thought the night was the only beautiful part of a day. With the stars that shine in the dark blanket of the sky. The full moon was such a lovely touch to the darkness of the night. But it was his dead beloved that showed him that the night wasn't the only beautiful part of time. It was because of her that he began to love the sun rise as much as the night. Mey-rin always did make him think things twice. 'Mey-rin….' He thought sadly to himself as he closed his eyes to prevent any of his tears from escaping. But one of them fought their way through and trailed down the left side of his face.
Mey-rin was such a lovely, caring, beautiful person. Her gorgeous, silky, reddish purplish long hair that flows down her back when she doesn't have her hair in her usual maid style. Her skin a lovely type of white unlike his pail as death skin (No, I do not hate his skin. I believe it fits him nicely). Her eyes are of the color of the richest and finest chocolate one has ever seen. She was the most beautiful female human he has ever laid eyes on. He always thought she was cute when she has one of her clumsy moments, or when she blushes from him calling her beautiful or sexy, or when he gives her knowing smirks, or when he would kiss her in certain places that I will not mention unless I am creating a lemon in this or other chapters. He misses her so much. He doesn't miss one thing about her, he misses all of her. Her smile, her scent, her laughs, her hugs, her voice, her love, her care, her pouts, her clumsiness, her blushes, her eyes, her hair, her presence. He misses her dearly. It pains him to know that she is gone along with their unborn child. He longs for her to return back to his arms. For him to love and care for and say I love you a million times a day. He would do anything to have her back in his life. He would kill himself 100 times over just to see her. He would destroy this entire planet just to have her near him. He would fight Satan and all of the demons of Hell just to kiss her one last time. This list could go on for days and he would never run out of what he would do to just have her presence around him. The moments they had together will never be forgotten. The moments when they laughed, cried, argued, played around, slept, had sex, etc. Sebastian gritted his teeth in emotional pain as the sweet memories that haunted him many nights and many days invaded his mind. He misses her to the point where he would just about go find a way to turn into an angel to see her. 'It's my entire fault your dead, Mey-rin.'
Sebastian was snatched out of his memories and thoughts by the chirping of a few birds that sat on an open window's seal. He was somewhat dazed at what happened not 3 to 5 seconds ago. He shook his head to clear his mind and wiped the tear trail off of his face. He then noticed that he lost track of time and took out his pocket butler watch. 6:45 the clock read. Sebastian exhaled a breath he wasn't aware of holding. He prefers to stay on track of his schedule. He would have to awaken Ciel soon at 7:30. He has to go visit Elizabeth for the month with Bardroy and Finnian, which means he has the whole Manor to himself and Claude. "Claude…" he whispered to himself as he made his way up to the east wing where the said demon slumbers.
As Sebastian made his way up the stairs and down the hall of the East wing, he stopped 10 steps from Claude's room door and began to listen intently. No loud yelling, no screaming, no smashing sounds of a wall being destroyed when he could have simply went through the door, no shattering of glass sounds that didn't do anything to him, no parts of the ceiling caving in on Sebastian when he's on the first floor, no damaging sounds or natural disaster what's so ever. Sebastian doesn't know if he should be happy or worried. He would be happy because Claude finally slept peacefully since the death of Hannah and his children. He would be worried because Claude might be dead… somehow.
Sebastian finished the rest of the way towards Claude's door, hoping to find him in bed with his eyes closed peacefully…. and his body breathing. He doesn't know if he can stop or fight Claude after one of his random nightmares. Sebastian is still injured from his fight in trying to set Claude free from his imprisonment in the warehouse. He can't handle another fight today.
He opened the door to Claude's room to be greeted with a very peaceful sight. Claude was lying on his back under the covers with his eyes closed and breathing evenly in a peaceful slumber. The covers were pulled up to his neck to make sure he could regain some heat and to be protected from the cold autumn's breeze. Claude was rather below his usual body temperature when Sebastian went to go and get him from the ware house. It's not natural for a demon to be cold, so it must have been the blood loss. While Claude was in a deep sleeping state of unconsciousness, Sebastian took the liberty of cleaning, bandaging, and healing his wounds. It was the least he could do for giving them to him in the first place.
Sebastian pulled the covers back slowly so he wouldn't disturb him from his state of unconsciousness and looked over Claude's body to make sure that Claude didn't reopen any of his wounds if he shifted in his sleep. 'So far, the only blood on the bandages was the same blood that appeared on there when I first put them on Claude.' He thought. After making completely sure that the wounds were secured without mishap or reopen wounds, he raised the covers back up to Claude's neck.
He checked his watch and it read that it was 7:00. 'Almost time to wake up the young master.' He made his way over to the door, looked back at Claude to make sure he was sleeping peacefully. 'After The Young Master, Bardroy, Tanaka, and Finnian leave the house for the month, I will return to awaken Claude. It is now the 4th day. I do hope he slept well.' He thought as he opened the door, stepped out of the room, closed the door silently so as to not interrupt Claude's sleeping state, and started his work as the Phantomhive Manor butler.
Golden eyes flutter open as the effects from the syringe wore off. His mind is still in a cloud of sleepiness but not enough for him to return to his recent state of unconsciousness, just enough for him to be dazed. His eyes scanned the location he was in and noticed that he wasn't in the ware house anymore, but in a very nicely furnished room, in a very comfortable bed. 'Why aren't I in the ware house? Where am I?' he eternally questioned himself as he searched his brain for answers. Then it all came rushing back to him. Sebastian releasing him from his restraints, helping him stand and walk to the Manor he's in now, said they were going into war against Lucifer and his followers, and being forced to go to sleep against his will. He remembers everything now. But the only question is… 'Where is Sebastian?' Claude has a lot of questions to ask him. One minute Sebastian was torturing him, the next he's saving him. Claude is very confused and demanded answers. With that in mind, he decided to go search for the crimson eyed man. He began to sit up. "Ahhurg!" However, he was quickly reminded that his body was nowhere near completely healed from his tortures, which caused him to drop back down on the bed with his eyes closed shut and his teeth gritted in pain.
After the pain subsided, Claude decided to try it again; he's a very determined spider. This time, he'll do it slower with caution. He put his hands face down on the bed and pushed his torso up with the help of his arms that weren't too much in pain. He sat up with complete success and just in time to see Sebastian walk into the room.
"Well, I guess I didn't have to wake you up this time." Sebastian stated as he fully entered the room and closed the door behind him. His blood crimson eyes searching and scanning Claude's body for any sign of reopened or new wounds that may have occurred. To his relief, there was none to detect. "Are you in any pain?" he asked as he made eye contact with the golden eyed spider. Claude was looking at his body as well and noticed that he was covered in bandages. They were placed on his torso, shoulders, legs, fore arms, and left bicep. He lifted his hand to feel his forehead and felt bandages wrapped around it. 'Did he do this while I was asleep?' he thought to himself. "Claude?" He was pulled from his thoughts by Sebastian calling him. "Hm?" "I said are you in any pain?" "Yes, I'm very sore. Mostly in my stomach, chest, and back. My limbs also hurt but not as much." He replied. Sebastian took note of this and made a mental reminder to do something about it soon. But for now, Claude is awake. That, and he's about to be bombarded with questions.
"Sebastian, where am I?" Claude asked. 'Ah, first question.' Sebastian thought to himself. "You are in my master's Manor. I am recently in a contract with a boy named Ciel Phantomhive. My master is gone for the entire month, which means you have room to move around without being discovered or me getting into trouble. My master does not like intruders or unexpected guests." He explained. Claude nodded in understanding. "You mentioned a war against Lucifer?" he said. Since Sebastian was so willing to answer his questions, mind as well answer all of them right? "Yes, I and many others have been planning to go into battle against for some time now. Your assistance in this fight may increase our chances in defeating him. I would gratefully appreciate it if you would join us." he replied. With his help, there is a slight chance that they will win in the up coming war. However, Claude seemed a bit angry about this. Sebastian could tell because Claude's eye brows are in an angry expression than a confused one right now. "Wait, you were just torturing me a few weeks ago for yours and Lucifer idea for entertainment. Now, you want to go against him in a war and you want me on your side to help you after what you did?!" Sebastian winced unnoticeably by the tone and volume of Claude's voice. Well it's obvious now…
He's pissed, and Sebastian can't blame him for it. 'But if he could give me a second, I can explain my actions.'
"Claude, I'm sor…"he was interrupted by the getting even more pissed off by the second spider demon. "Your what, Sorry?!" Claude said as he stood, ignoring the pain that was yelling at him to sit down as his golden eyes turned into his demonic ones. "Claude, let me expl…" "Sorry for what? Damaging me?! For putting me into a deeper state of despair?!" Claude walked up to him with complete fury in his eyes. He grabbed the front of Sebastian's butler jacket; his fist balled up into the material, and slammed him against the wall that was behind Sebastian while his pale hands are still attached to his jacket. Cracks began to form in the wall as Sebastian let's Claude slam him into the wall over and over again (That sounded a little sexual XD) with each question that spewed from his mouth angrily. "FOR TORTURING YOUR OWN DAMN BROTHER?! FOR GOD'S SAKE I'M YOUR OWN BROTHER!" Claude yelled in complete anger. Sebastian tries to reason with him again. "Claude please, just let me-Ah!" he yelled in pain as he was slammed through the wall all the way to the other side. His back landing on a big sharp piece of what used to be a wall. Gritting his teeth in pain, he tries to stand up. Claude on the other hand has other Ideas.
He walks over the rubble of rock and debris, and goes straight to Sebastian, who was on his hands and knees trying to get up. Claude grabbed him by the throat with one hand, lifted him up to eye level, and threw him down the hall towards the stairs. Sebastian crashed into the wall, creating more rocks and debris. A rather large rock has stabbed him in the back to the point where it shows through his stomach. Blood began exit out of his wound from his back and stomach. He began to try to get up again, "arghh!" but the pain in his torso forbid it. Sebastian looked up and noticed that Claude was standing above him. He tries to reason with him again. "Claude, let me explain!" he said in pain. It's kind of hard to talk when you have a rock in your back and out your stomach. Said spider demon ignored his brother's plea and took a hold of the rock that was forced through Sebastian's stomach with both hands, and roughly snatched it out. Sebastian's crimson eyes widened in horrible pain as he yelled in physical agony. It was as if he was stabbed over 100 times in the stomach by the biggest sword known to demon kind. His vision blurred a little bit and then went back to normal. Just in time to see Claude smirk down at him. "So, brother. How does it feel to be harmed by your own family, hmm?" Claude asked with so much joy in his voice. Sebastian tortured him, and now its Claude's turn. 'I do not blame him for doing this to me. I would have done the same if I were in his place. But, he needs to listen to my explanation.' Sebastian thought as he gathered what little strength he had left to speak. "Claude, I did not have bad intentions… on harming you." He spoke. "Stop lying to me!" "Please just lis-Ahrg" Claude grabbed him by the throat again and this time tossed him over the stairs. Sebastian's back crash landed into a wooden table, destroying it into big and small pieces of wood. He didn't even move. His body was in more pain than it originally was. His battle with the other demons to free Claude was rather a tough one, but he made it through with a lot of injuries. Now he's being tortured by the person he saved.
Life just doesn't like Sebastian for some reason.
Sebastian lays there with a gaping hole in his already injured stomach, blood running down his head and mouth, and his vision was blurred again. "Claude…" Sebastian barely whispered. His eye lids felt rather heavy. Claude jumped over the stairs and land next to Sebastian gracefully on his feet. "Get up Sebastian, so I can knock you back down!" He tried to get up but his body refused to move an inch. Claude grew impatient. "Alright, have it your way." He straddled the Raven demon. A leg on either side of Sebastian. He bald up his fists, raised his left one, and slammed it against Sebastian's right cheek. Making his head snap to the left. Claude then did the same thing with his right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
Left fist.
Right fist.
After punching him about a billion times, he stood up and began to kick him in his side, stomp his chest and stomach, and once in a while kick his head. Claude finally stopped after about 40 minutes of torturing Sebastian. The Raven was in a terrible state. Bruises were everywhere on his body along with blood and deep stab wounds from when Claude had occasionally picked up a piece of the broken table and stabbed him in various places while he asked "How does it feel to be stabbed?". His jacket was completely destroyed along with a part of his once white shirt. His conscious was slipping away rapidly by the second.
He turned his head towards Claude slowly, trying to save as much energy as possible. "Cl..aude. I…" "Sebastian, just stop. You betrayed me. I got my revenge and your lucky that is all I did." "I didn't … betray you." "What?! Sebastian, you tortured me to the brink of madness." "I never… meant to harm you." "That is a lie." "No it's the truth." Claude was getting fed up with this verbal tug of war game with Sebastian. He decided to give Sebastian a chance to prove him wrong. "Alright, then explain the purpose of you torturing me." Claude said with his arms crossed over his chest. "The purpose… was… to get you away from Lucifer… alive." He struggled to respond as he fought against the sweet darkness that's closing in on his conscious with half lidded eyes.
Claude's eyes widened in shock as Sebastian words sunk in his head. 'He saved my life?' "I had to fight… Lucifer's strongest guards to… get you here. If you think I'm lying, just… look at my bandages." 'Bandages?' Claude unbuttoned Sebastian's stained red shirt and opened it to reveal his once white now stained crimson bandages wrapped around his torso. "Sebastian." He whispered. He began to rip the bandages off to see how bad his injuries were only to be shocked and horrified. Sebastian's chest and stomach was covered in scars, bruises, and stab wounds. Old and New. "Sebastian … what…?" He was too shocked to finish. 'He did save me.' He thought. Sebastian gathered up what remained of his consciousness and spoke. "Now you see… the lengths I will go. I can go this… far and more… for your…. freedom, brother. I never meant …to hurt you, but I… did. I'm sorry. Please… forgive me." Sebastian said as his crimson eyes closed and the darkness swept in and took him in their comforting arms of unconsciousness.
The last few words were so low, Claude almost didn't hear it. "Sebastian? Sebastian!" Claude tried to get his brother back from unconsciousness, but his mind was too far deep in it. Claude looked at his bloody hands. The blood of his brother, Sebastian. Immediately, Regret invaded his entire body. He just tortured his brother who went through everything to save him from Lucifer's grasp. 'What have I done? I was too blinded by my fury to notice that he was trying to explain his actions. He didn't betray me, I betrayed him.' he thought with sadness. He picked Sebastian up and tossed him across his shoulders while heading up the stairs. He needs to heal his brother. It's the least he could do after what he just did to him. Sebastian didn't even fight back, he just let Claude release his anger on him as if he was a punching bag. He made his way up to the East winged part of the manor, down the hall, and into the room where he woke up in. He gently laid his brother down on the bed and took off his shoes and shirt. He then exits the room to go find a rag, a bowl of hot water, and some more rolls of bandages. A few minutes later, he returned with the items needed and began to clean and wrap Sebastian's new wounds. After he wrapped the wounds, he picked his brother up again and placed him in the exact same spot where he woke up in. Sebastian's body lies on its back with his head comfortably rested on the soft pillow under it.
Claude then pulled the blankets up to his brother's neck and got rid of the items that were needed to help Sebastian heal. He came back into the room with a chair. He set it on the left side of the room near his brother's bed, and sat in it. He will look over his brother as he made a recovery from what happened.
A few moments later, he felt the presences of another being in the room right behind him. The smell of the being is familiar, for its kind is always interfering in their plans to find food. The race of this being is…
A shinigami.
Claude would have most likely attacked if the Shinigami didn't speak first. "If I were you, I would have just let him die Claude. He's already a terrible brother as it is." Said the shinigami with much distain in his voice. 'That voice. It can't be. Can it?' Claude thought in surprise. The spider demon's curiosity came over him and he stood up and turned around. He was shocked at who he was talking to. Someone he hasn't seen in ages. It was his other brother who looked almost like him and Sebastian. The only one out of the 3 of them that was a shinigami.
"…. William? William T. Spears?"
Wow, that took forever.
A thousand apologies for my tardiness. It's been like 3 weeks? Please don't throw anything at me for making Claude beat up Sebastian.
So, Sebastian Michaelis, Claude Faustus, and the demon hating William T. Spears are all brothers. Who would have thought? I'm just too mischievous sometimes. It turns out Sebastian saved Claude from the clutches of Lucifer and at his own risk. Sebastian plans on going to war, but will his brothers join him? Why does William have so much hatred towards Sebastian and not Claude? And once again, does Lucifer know about the war?! Well, many answers will occur along with hurt feelings and things that shouldn't have been said in the next chapter.
Chapter 4- William T. Spears? : Sebastian's hurt feelings. Coming soon. (Next Friday/Saturday/Sunday)
