Sebastian and Ciel sped through London at a flying pace in the light of predawn. Shrouded in shadows, they avoided any pedestrians that were awake in the city of London. They had run for about an hour before the younger demon caught the scent of his prey. He sped up causing his butler to raise his eyebrows in surprise. While the earl searched with his nose, the older demon searched for the culprit with his mind. The streets turned gold with the morning rays of the sun piercing through the clouds.

What a nice way to start a hunt, Ciel thought to Sebastian. The demon butler smirked with pride as he narrowed his eyes to focus on the hunt at hand. They finally found the merchant in a place they would never have expected. He was scrunched into a ball, sleeping without a care in the world. The soul master grimaced in disgust as he tapped the merchant lightly on the shoulder. When the demon woke up, he was in for a nasty shock. The demon's eyes shot wide open when he saw Ciel and Sebastian and he tried to flee, as he should have in that situation. The taller demon halted the criminal in his tracks, as he held it up by the collar in front of his master.

"Hello again. You played a rather nasty trick on my friend here and I would like to repay you for it," the younger demon said with a malicious smile. The butler smirked, as he shivered inwardly at how his master looked just then. The merchant knew he was in for a world of hurt right then and there.

"P-please, I-I-I'll d-do anyth-thing! Just PLEASE SPARE ME!" the demon pleaded with the earl. The blue eyed male continued to smile as he shook his head, and appraised the merchant like he would a soul.

"I will give you three options. One, you come work for my friend, in my house, with a slave collar placed around your neck so you can never leave his service until he wishes it. Two, we take you to the slave market where you will be sold, and treated as nothing more than the slaves you traffic in. Final option. You pay with your life. Take your time. We're not in a particular rush this morning, and we have all the time in the world," Ciel said with a sweet smile that caused the demon to shiver in fear.

"May I decide for him Ciel-sama?" Sebastian asked with a sweet smile of his own. The merchant gulped visibly, and rightfully so. The earl pondered it for a moment, before nodding his head in approval.

"Then you shall be my slave at my master's house. How does that sound?"

You could tell the demon would've been happier with death just by his grimace of pain. The younger demon then transported the three of them to his mansion in the Underworld, and conjured up a slave collar that would only obey his butler's commands. The taller demon forcefully put the collar on the merchant while smirking like a very pleased cat.

"That should do it. Now, you will keep this entire house clean until our return from the human world. And if I see so much as one speck of dirt, there will be consequences," the older demon said with an evil smile. With that, the forever master and butler left the mansion to go back and spend time in the human world collecting souls. They'd had a very productive morning, before they returned to the human manor for breakfast.

The house was now fully awake and the purple eyes of Alyssa looked at everything with a whole new perspective. The child was viewing the souls within the servant's bodies with awe, and a little bit of sorrow at every unhappy soul. Ciel smiled and placed a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder, before greeting Elizabeth and her husband as they came down the stairs. Elizabeth smiled at her cousin. But when she looked past him at her daughter, she stopped. Her smile fell into a face of horror at her daughter's new eye color.

"Mama it's o.k. I'm still me even though my eyes have changed color. Uncle Ciel told me it was nothing to worry about, seeing as he's a doctor. I actually like it. This shade of purple really suits me, don't you think?" the girl asked innocently with a gentle smile on her face.

"I was just as shocked as you Elizabeth when I saw it, but I can reassure you that she hasn't changed at all," The soul master said calmly. The blonde composed her features as she walked over to her daughter, before smiling at her gently. Edward, however, appeared uncaring of his daughter's change, and continued on with his daily schedule. The younger demon couldn't help but smirk at what the man felt on the inside. Shock, confusion and fear were written all over his soul. Alyssa frowned in sorrow at her parent's reactions.

She then walked away from her mother, and into the dinning room where breakfast awaited the four nobles. Ciel took her lead, as he followed her into the room to take his seat. Elizabeth and Edward soon followed. The entire meal was fraught with sorrow from Alyssa, an understanding from the earl and shock from the parents of the little girl. The dark haired man and the blonde girl got up first, and walked out hand in hand to conduct business. The spirits that the demon and his butler had caught this morning, instantly cheered the young soul piper up. She played her flute as the souls danced around her with joy, and a profound peace came over them. With the souls calmed down and ready to die, they thanked the young soul piper, and returned to Ciel for judgment.

The younger demon was very pleased with how they had turned out, and invited them all back into the bag of souls he carried with him at his waist. Alyssa sighed in contentment and again played her flute. She played a relaxing tune that even a hard-hearted demon would find lovely. Ciel and Sebastian sat back and listened to the child as she played. The three companions didn't even notice when the girl's parents walked into the room. When she finished, the two demons were smiling like fools and the young blonde's parents registered still further shock on their faces.

"Well played Alyssa. You're a regular prodigy. Thank you so much for playing for us," the blue eyed man said with a warm smile at the girl-child who smiled in return. It was then that a creaky floorboard alerted the three to Elizabeth's and Edward's presences. The earl's eyes widened, and the girl stood up suddenly as the flute fell from her grasp. Sebastian thought quickly, and caught the flute before it could become damaged.

"What is the meaning of this Alyssa?" the girl's father asked in a stern tone.

"Well I_ah..."

"I asked her to play the flute for me. Once I showed her the basics, she naturally played her own tune. As you can see it has quite a soothing affect on the soul," Ciel interjected for the child.

"Is this true Alyssa?" Elizabeth asked.

The girl just nodded her head seeing as the demon had, in fact, shown her how to play the metal instrument on their walk back to the manor after the ceremony was completed. The blonde sighed in relief and smiled brightly at her daughter, before engulfing her in a hug. Alyssa smiled in her mother's arms and looked at her father for approval. Edward just smiled at his daughter, before going back to work. The soul piper's smile faltered a little, until she saw her relative pull a present out from behind his back.

Once she opened it, she was surprised and pleased to see the rarest of all of Funtom's stuffed rabbits. She thanked Ciel by hugging him hard, and ran out of the room to play with her new friend. The man smiled and turned towards his butler to speak with him of a different matter, before a tap on his shoulder brought his attention back to his former fiance.

"There's really nothing wrong with her?" the soul master smiled in reassurance and led Elizabeth out of the room, and into the hallway.

"She'll be just fine. The only thing you should watch for is floating lights dancing around her. If they come, call me by saying my name, and I will appear before you in a matter of days. Trust me," the blue eyed man said with a kind smile and gentle eyes. The woman nodded her head, and went off to continue her work as the Lady of the House. The younger demon closed the door behind him as he re-entered his room and asked,"Were my actions agreeable as a human doctor Sebastian?"

"Quite so Goshujin-sama. I think she will definitely contact you soon after we leave," Sebastian replied with a bow. Ciel nodded and left to see as much of London as he could, before they left that evening.


"Thank you for having us," Ciel said as he shook Edward's hand in farewell.

"It was a pleasure having you. Do you think you'll come back anytime soon?" Elizabeth asked.

"Only when you call me," the man said with a wink. He was then embraced by a blond haired, purple eyed Alyssa. The earl smiled and whispered something to the young soul piper, before getting into the carriage and driving home to the Underworld.

"That went well,"the younger demon said as he leaned back into the seat.

"Yes, very well. There's no doubt that we'll be called back soon. Have you ever thought of coming and living in this world until the girl is old enough to be on her own Ciel-sama?" Sebastian asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Yes, I've thought about it. Here's the thing though. To make a reappearance in this world is to take on our old staff, or to let someone other than Elizabeth know about our presence. Unless we silence them with some sort of spell, there will be consequences," the soul master said with a serious face.

"Then there shouldn't be a problem as our existence will be forgotten by all who see us. Unless, of course, you wish to see the others again?" the butler asked with a smirk.

The shorter demon thought for a bit before saying,"Yes. I wish to see everyone again, and to see how they're doing."

The older demon was shocked that his master had actually admitted to his suggestion for once. Sebastian was at a loss for words until, "Then I shall make the preparations. Give me some time and keep an eye on our new slave."

Then the demon butler disappeared into the night. Ciel's mouth dropped in shock as he thought, Is Sebastian alright? He would never do something like this on a normal day. Is he unwell?

The demon then entered his mansion as he tried to put those thoughts out of his mind, and fell into the warm embrace of sleep.


Well there you have it. There's still more to come however, so stay tuned and please review.
