After that, Sebastian took a leave of absence from the force.

Not many people saw him, he was a hermit, living in his shell of a home.

He only rarely made trips to the local market for food, and drink, of course he had to do that at least.

And Ripper's activity seemed to die down.

Until one night.

Sebastian was getting ready for bed, slipping into his evening wear, when he heard a small scraping noise at the window.

"What the blazes could that be?"

As Sebastian walked toward the window, he tripped, hitting his head on the stone slab of a floor, and simultaneously, all the power and light in his house vanished.

The scraping stopped, as Sebastian lied there in darkness, his pupils darting back and forth, trying to see if anyone was inside.

Suddenly, the doorknob to his house began to jiggle and shake violently, as if someone was trying to break in.

Sebastian became startled, as his arms began to shake from the fear of who it might be.

"Who's there!?"

Sebastian's tone wasn't a very convincingly to sound brave, more of a frightened kitten's, looking for its mother.

The doorknob continued to violently shake, and twist, but to no effect.

And then, everything went dead quiet.

Sebastian's breath was sharp and panting, as the fear and adrenaline flowed through his body.

Suddenly, multiple large crashes and slams pulsated throughout the house, coming from the door.

"Sebaaaassstian~! I know you're in there. Stop hiding, and let me in!"

And then, the door gave way.

Huge clumps of wood flying at Sebastian and everything else, as he dodged them fluently.

A small hooded figure stumbled through the wreckage, as the unknown person stared at Sebastian, offering a hand up.

Sebastian gingerly took the small, wounded hand and was lifted up by some sheer strength.

"S-So you're…"

The small cloaked boy removed the charcoal hood to reveal a young bandaged-eye boy, with a sad smile across his lips, and many bruises, cuts and wounds.

"Yes, Sebastian, I am ripper~!"
