Chapter Four: Conundrum
Part One
OoOoOoO
As he have entered and surveyed the whole house, the butler knitted his brows. The wooden walls are misty and greasy, the post is too fragile that no one dares to touch it, or else, it will break down momentarily. The ceilings even have holes in it and you can see the wooden roof top and the sun rays that went through. It looks like this house can't stand if some heavy and stormy days will wipe out the whole street.
The butler nodded his head in incredulity for he can't bear to imagine that his Young Master had lived in this kind of place. And he can't forgive himself for bringing him again in this residence. But that leaves him no choice, it's because this house is the nearest one. Plus, he had promised his master -to give this whole day- for him to think it over.
Ciel Phanthomhive is currently lying on his bed, unconscious and weak. His master fainted a moment ago along the street, for Ciel can't bear the rays and the heat of the sun. He is vulnerable and physically weak if he's exposing too much under the heat and warm sun. He knows it from the very beginning yet he had let his master to roam around, this was his fault to be exact. It leaves him no choice, again…for he is not allowed to pursue his master if he's not capable of doing it. He sighed. Just see and after this one-day bargain, he will do everything for his master's safeties.
He's a butler and is obliged to follow orders, yes, but if it'll cause danger to his master, then, he won't allow it - even he has to oppose his orders.
"Hey man in a black suit, why had he fainted? Is Ciel okay or he's sick?" Souma asked in bewilderment. He was inside the room too, sitting in the chair beside the door, looking worriedly at Ciel in bed. Is he really worried or he's face is just like that?
"It's natural for him to faint, it's not new to me. Anyhow, if you are to talk to me then address me in my proper name – not man in a black suit." Sebastian retorted in his calm tone - though he was pissed, not even glancing at Souma. He almost forgot the existence of this man; actually, he is not that important to even acknowledge his inadequate presence. He's there, standing beside his Young Master's bed - waiting any signs for his sudden arousal from sleep.
"Oh~. But, what is your name again?" Souma questioned, but it's true, he hasn't remembered the butler's name. Or rather say, he doesn't know it at all. By that, the butler puckered his brows as he clenched his fist. Humans like Souma annoyed him so much; he does lose his temper easily if that's the case. But he has to restrain himself, or else, he might do something not totally good. Ah, if only his master didn't say not to hurt this young man…
"Sebastian," the butler answered in hard tone of voice. If Souma won't realize that he's pissed by the way his voice timbres, then, it proves one thing. A Total Idiot. And a dummy one, you may add.
"Sebasuchan! I wouldn't think that someone besides my pet has a name that is Sebasuchan. That's cool!" Souma exclaimed, clapping his hands in the air. His eyes were sparkling in amusement, vibrantly staring at Sebastian -who- in the contrary wore a disgusted, sour face.
The butler was about to say something, maybe edict Souma to shut his earsplitting mouth, but was distracted by a sudden gesture in bed. Just then, both of them sighted the man who is now taking a sitting position. Clear azure eyes are now blatantly glaring at them and with such confusion and bewilderment.
OoOoOoO
Ciel is now awake. And behold, for I have now my senses and conscious back. Not my memory, darn it. I know I fainted in the street and that I'm in bed, lying unconscious and am totally asleep and weak. However, though I am unconscious I still could hear muttering of words, exchanging phrases and voice, and now that I had my eyes open – I realized it were Souma and yet the stranger one, Sebastian. They were talking about something, perhaps, for their mouths are now half open…amused eyes looking at me. As I stared at those crimson orbs my head in a sudden ached, damn. When would this headache matter stop attacking me?!
"Perchance I'll be glad knowing you are now awake, Young Master." The butler said, and I could see an evil grin engraved on his lips, but somehow I feel that grin was faked. What's that for anyway? Perchance he said, I couldn't think of any reason why he would say such word. Does it mean he is having doubts if he is to be glad or not, knowing that I'm awake? How unpredictable he is…
"Ciel! Are you now okay? How happy I should be seeing that you're awake!" Souma exclaimed momentarily, jumping out from his chair and abandoned his seat, now going towards…me. Ah, I forgot…I'm still on his house I presume.
I choke and cough as Souma hug me abruptly (I haven't realized that he was now in bed.) That shocked me a bit. It's not a big deal for I am used to his unpleasant behaviors, the deal now is that I feel weird again. His arms tightly wrap around my back, I could almost feel my ribs creak inside. I had then smelled his shampoo that flavored….strawberry? How's that?
My eyes are now moving on their own down to his exposed neck…and just then I pushed him forward, forcibly. I saw Sebastian's worrying face, as if, he was to do or to say something -to me or to Souma, that I couldn't determine. I pushed him too much, conceivably, because he fell off down to bed and it even made a loud sound of bogzzz. I as well was shocked by my sudden action.
"Ouch! Ciel what's wrong?" he said questionably, confused eyes are staring at me. I saw his one hand massaging his pained butt; I feel bit guilt because of that.
"I'm thirsty," I say. In fact I say the truth, I feel really thirsty. I'd seen Souma widen his coal eyes, and then…it sparks. I didn't give a damn to look at Sebastian beside me, well, I just don't feel like it.
"Uwah you should have told me, you don't need to push me Ciel." Souma roared, his voice echoed the whole room. He's not mad, he do sometimes make that kind of sound, so it didn't startled me. I never replied but he added, "Wait here, I'll get some cold water." After that, he vanished out of the room, leaving me and the butler alone.
"Young Master, I must say that your life is in danger if we won't go home…immediately." Sebastian utter, breaking the great tension and silence inside the room. Subsequently, I stared at him - only for me to see his crimson eyes that were envelope with worries. I must admit that I'm starting to believe his intention and objective is pure hearted and true, that he isn't fooling me.
"How could you say that, I have this one day remember? And I told you, I've to think it over." I answered, face lit up to match his glares.
"At your current state, I'm to say that you need your own bed. Rather than that, at this moment, all places and people I may mark are threatening - to you." He retorted, and what he was saying just confuses me more. Dangerous he says? Fah.
"Are you saying I'm in danger," I confirmed.
"That is what I'm trying to say here," he said sarcastically. He added, "Even that Souma."
The last part he said made me scowled. Souma saved my life, I never see him as an enemy or a threat to me.
"If someone here is a threat to me, then, I rather conclude it has to be you." I notified. Just then, I had crossed my arms and gave him a sinister look.
"Perhaps that is how you see me Young Master; you lost your memory so it's just natural. However, as I've said before, after this one-day agreement the decision is still mine. Even I have to drag you by force." he said. He is persistent, isn't he? I feel like he's one of those kinds that no matter what, what they want they will get. In any case, that also comprises me, aren't I?
Since I was wondering ever since I lost memory, I admit, somehow I want to know some part of me in my past. Rather say, I want to know what kind of person I am when I still have my memories. And since Sebastian claimed I am his master, presumably, he knows all about me. So I guess nothing's wrong if I ask and dig some info about me, yeah.
"Say Sebastian, what kind of person is I?" finally, I had come to asked.
"An excellent one," he said, his eyes somehow seems like…darn it, okay….melting me.
"That isn't actually what I want to know," I clarified.
"Perhaps you wanna know that you are a Phanthomhive." He said.
"And what's with Phanthomhive?" I said in query. Can't he just say it directly to the point? All he did is confusing me.
"That's your family name, of course. You are a noble, an earl to be exact. Ciel Phanthomhive, a known Earl in England…a very prudent aristocrat. I must say Young Master that you are an arrogant man, you fear nothing at all, what you want you get, what you dislike you eradicate, what you praise you mean it; however, you rarely appreciate things. You are keen every move and decisions you made, above all, you always crave to win - losing is not your line. You are an exemplar of the best authoritarian Earl, Young Master."
"Wow, I would have never thought I'm such a cruel man." I comprehend; and I nodded my head in disbelief.
'And I never thought that I'm an earl, a well known earl.'
"I bet cruel isn't the right word Young Master. Perfectionist just I am," his wistful smile ago was then replaced by a grin. This time, that grin is for real…
I don't know but I just couldn't utter a word, seems that my tongue is twisted. It's because of that damn grin, it seems hypnotizing me. Darn it.
I didn't notice when but there was a solid silence in the room, the butler didn't speak again, and so am I. At that juncture I realized that Souma had gone for too long. Is that too hard just to get water? I feel so thirsty right this time and so where was he? Speaking of that man, the door opened and it showed him – holding a glass of water. Cold water, precisely.
"Here's your water, Ciel." Souma handed me the glass, when and how he did got near me, actually I don't know.
I grab the glass from him and I stare at the clear liquid inside, I feel thirsty but…
Canceling doubts inside me I then take a sip and gulp the water, however, it didn't satisfy me. I felt throbbing inside, my heart seems pumping too much and I feel like lightning had strike it. My blood's circulation I could feel like burning every nerve they pass, my hands as if electrified and I never notice that I was holding the glass too much. What is this weird feeling I felt? Just then my head aches and unconsciously I throw the empty glass down to the floor, shocking Souma and Sebastian horribly.
"Ciel you'd broke it! That's the only glass I have!!!" I heard Souma shouted, his face is really horrible. Certainly, what have I done? He bought that glass just earlier in the town and now I've… what have I done?
My brain is like swelling and twisting inside and it pained too much that I have to massage my temples. Argh! Damn it! It hurt so much I have to shout, just then…I screamed in pain. For real. Echoing the whole room. Surprising Souma and Sebastian.
"Young Master! Get a hold of yourself!" Sebastian emitted. I felt his hand placed above my shoulder, the other at my back. I could see vaguely, the sweats blurring my vision and it appeared to be that I am now bathing in my own secretion. I'd saw something I shouldn't have seen. Blood. It's not real for sure, for I have seen that only in my mind, an illusion perhaps.
"Sebasuchan, what's happening to Ciel?" Souma asked in bewilderment, I heard him.
I was clutching my chest but then the pain is totally dominating me. 'Who am I? I damn want my memories back! Ciel Phanthomhive, who's really Ciel Phanthomhive? It is I, isn't it? But who really am I????!'
Just then I shout in horror, I scream head side to side, I was now going to push Sebastian away. But he dodged and he had now my hand, I saw his red eyes…it glow horribly. Afterward, I felt his hand caressed my forehead, his mouth seems muttering something to himself, and then I felt dizzy. I am to say, I fallen asleep after that. My conscious was taken away from me. Perhaps.
"Sleep for now, Young Master."
OoOoOoO
"Target sighted, Ciel Phanthomhive is inside the house."
"Good," the man with a ginger hair answered. And then he added, "How about the residents?"
"I've taken care of them; they are now secured in a place far from this place Lord Aberline." Agni replied, wiping his rifle with his cloak. He was Aberline's partner. Agni addresses him as Lord; after all, Aberline is in a higher position than him. Rather than that, he is Aberline's personal assistant in the very first place. Just then he added, "Are we now to attack?"
"Perhaps it is better to wait till the sun sets," Aberline retorted.
"Perhaps it is better not to wait till the sun sets," Agni conflicted. They are actually standing in a roof top, one of the tallest houses in that street and placed in front of Souma's house. He saw Aberline wore a sour face. Then he smiled scratching his hair, "Haha yeah. Perhaps it is better to follow orders."
"Tomorrow is his birthday; we must succeed before it's too late Agni."
"Perhaps," Agni tediously answered. By that, Aberline glared at him…sinisterly.
OoOoOoO
As I once open my eyes, no figures have welcomed me. I slip and dispatch the comforter that covers my body, it's annoying. Slowly, I slide down from bed and headed towards the windows. The moon is up and it shine so bright, the stars are twinkling and the night clouds are flying miraculously. It's night already? That fast, I couldn't even notice it. Oh well, how should I anyway? I was asleep, rather say, that bastard Sebastian done something on me that I'd fallen asleep. I'll make him pay for that.
At the midst of my wondering mind, the door slightly opened. I heard the floor creaks. Just then, Sebastian and Souma came in. I never knew that they are getting along with each other now.
"It's good to know you're awake, Young Master."
"If you haven't done something on me perhaps I won't fallen asleep." I answered, glaring at him with such irritation. I was then startled when he compete glares at me, the only difference is that…his eyes were as if intentionally melting me. Stupid Sebastian.
""Ciel look, Sebasuchan bought me glasses. And guess what? They are a dozen and are made from crystals!!" Souma exclaimed. The way his voice timbres, it appeared that he had won a lottery. His hands are embracing the glass, as if, that thing is a treasure to him.
"Young Master, your day has ended. It is time for us to leave," Sebastian said. And what's with his voice, is he really that serious?
"If you can drag me forcibly, that is." I retorted, I sounded like I'm challenging him. Well, actually I am challenging him.
"Of course I can, if that's what you want Young Master." He says, now going towards me. My, what a persistent guy. But hey, I have a feeling that I have dig my own graveyard. I don't like the feeling every time he comes near me. Too late for regretting, he's now facing an inch away from me. Darn it.
He was about to grab my hand when he suddenly stopped. What the hell! What is he up to this time? Saying he'll force me but now he'll stop! What kind of sick joke is this! Just then I heard a click and….damn,
"Young Master!" he loudly exclaimed and had wrapped his arms around me, as if protecting, and then we fell off down to the filthy floor – he above me but his arms protected me from banging too hard on the floor. I heard a loud burst of energy, more likely a shot of gun, and then I heard Souma's crazy scream.
Close. So close. 'Darn it Sebastian get off your face away from me!'
As if he had read my mind, he slowly stood up and had helped me to stand, and saying…. "Are you not hurt Young Master?"
"Crap, that bullet isn't supposed to hit you, demon." I heard someone say, I sighted ahead of Sebastian and I saw the owner of that voice. A ginger hair man dress in an auburn cloak and beside him another man in a black cloak. Other total strangers. What the hell is happening here?!
Sebastian landed his eyes up and down to me, then, he said "I assume you aren't hurt,"
Of course I'm not hurt! He had protected me right? And darn it, his right shoulder is bleeding. Seriously, he was hit by the bullet that is supposed to hit me? He covered me up? Why? Just then he turned his back at me and faced the intruders, I hear him say angrily, "Hunters."
If I am to see his current face, maybe it is painted with such annoyance and antagonism. Darn it, I want to heal his bleeding shoulder. It was supposed to be mine and I felt guilty because of that. Momentarily, Sebastian said, "What were you doing here? You aren't supposed to kill him…yet. And you aren't supposed to know about his identity!"
'Kill he say? What's that all about! Darn it.'
"We received an order, of course. Ciel Phanthomhive is rank number one in our list. He is a threat to humankind; we are here to eradicate him." The ginger hair man said, showing a long paper to us. A list of names as he had said I presume. But wait, I rank number one…a threat to humankind? Must die? Why the hell is that?!
"That I can not allow," Sebastian then retorted. He turned his sight at Souma who is currently hiding under a chair (How the hell he fitted there?). "Souma, don't be a coward. Come here and cover Young Master as I am to teach these guys a lesson."
"EhhhhH?" he roared. He seems not to move but as he sighted me, I saw his eyes were sparkling…or something like that. "O-ok! Don't worry Ciel I'll sacrifice my life just for you!" He said, now abandoning his hiding place and hurried towards us, replacing Sebastian in front of me.
Right after that, and without us expecting it, Sebastian pushed us through the window. Souma above me and I fell off the ground outside. What the?! Although I don't know but seems that I landed in a soft mattress. However, I don't know why but Souma landed in a hard land, I even heard him scream in pain. How strange.
"Ouch! Sebasuchan is so cruel, by the way, are you just okay Ciel?" Souma said, massaging his pained body. I just nodded my head for assurance that I'm not hurt and he smile after that. I headed my sight above and sighted the window, why did Sebastian pushed us? That confuses me much more.
OoOoOoO
"So tell me, how the hell you knew about Young Master's identity? No one knows about their true nature except them and us," Sebastian said in a hard tone.
"Hmn, who knows? We're just hunters and we do receive orders from above. But we don't give a damn to meddle on how they gather information. But I must say, the person who revealed Ciel's identity surely is one of their kinds." Aberline explained, glaring sarcastically at Sebastian.
"Are you saying someone in the society is betraying the Phanthomhives?" Sebastian said, totally pissed as he clenched his fist
"Perhaps, it might be that Ciel knew that person…so much." Aberline comprehend and then added, "However, as I've said I totally don't know. I'm just receiving and doing orders meant for us. Now, if you won't mind – I am now to continue our motive."
"Kill me first, that is. However…I'm not capable of dying." Sebastian warned and there was a malevolent grin on his lips. He's now facing Aberline, their nose almost meet, their eyes competing madly glares. Just then Aberline clutch his gun and pointed its mouth centered at Sebastian's demon heart.
"That can be done. Spite of that, one out of two, surely, who do you think is the loser?." Aberline said, grinning at Sebastian - who in the contrary was then startled. Aberline just then added, "Agni, follow that Earl outside. Kill him the moment you saw him. Don't miss."
"Yes and of course," Agni replied as he saluted. He reloaded his rifle, a kind of weapon that is designed only for…vampires.
Sebastian gritted his teeth as he saw the man named Agni exited, jumping off out the windows. He was about to stop him but Aberline grabbed his arms, no, both arms and then twisted it. Darn, he only utters. But he grin, an evil, sarcastic one. He can annihilate even a platoon of enemies just by him alone, so what's the difference now if he had a two of them?
These vampire hunters are so stupid in regards with demons; all they know is how to kill vampires. Idiots. However his master's not yet awaken; his vampiric side isn't yet fully completed. Phanthomhives and other vampires in the Vampire Society are ordinary humans by birth, however, during their 18th birthday they will start to crave for bloods; their vampire nature will then awaken.
Phanthomhives are known family in England and they are very keen hiding their true natures, besides, hunters won't kill vampires if those vampires haven't broken rules. Even if their identities as vampires are widespread among hunters, vampire hunters won't kill them unless they won't break rules.
And a Phanthomhive never broke a rule.
They never suck blood from innocent people….
Honestly, Phanthomhives never do sucking. They drink blood, yes, but artificial blood…that is. Blood wines. Tablets.
And now he wonders… why the hell his Young Master is in the list? His master is not yet a vampire (a complete vampire) and how the hell did hunters knew about him? And why is that Ciel Phanthomhive rank number one being a threat to humankind?
That is a puzzle he is yet to solve. But one thing he surely realized, someone revealed his master's identity. Someone in the Vampire Society betrayed the Phanthomhives, and that someone is planning to kill his Young Master. That he can not allow.
Just then, Sebastian eyed Aberline, his red eyes are burning like hell. Aberline moaned, his eyes were as if burned. But he can't easily be defeated, he's a vampire hunter and his job is not yet done.
He held his gun and pointed it once again at Sebastian, just then he shot, blowing Sebastian forward and he was bang on the wall. The demon laughed evilly as he slowly stood up, hands grasping his chest that bleeds his blood, then he licks it.
"Ah, maybe I'll tell the council about this. They must provide weapons that are designed for demons, as well. Don't you think?" Aberline said after awhile.
"Perhaps," Sebastian seconded, an evil grin is on his lips.
OoOoOoO
Chapter Four: Conundrum
Part Two
OoOoOoO
"Ciel, let's go!" Souma said, his eyes were field of horror and worries. And then he grabs my hand but I slip them off form his. Sebastian was still there - dealing with some strange yet risky guys. There's no way I am to leave without doing anything.
"I am not running without doing anything, Sebastian is still there and he might need my help. I'll go back." I answered, and I don't understand myself this time. Maybe after all, I am just worried of Sebastian being there alone. He can't fight them by himself, the opponents have dangerous weapons. They have guns and daggers along them and I can't leave Sebastian because of that. Honestly speaking, I am actually worried about him. Perhaps… or maybe…. well I don't know why actually.
"But Ciel Sebastian handed me the responsibility to protect you, up there is dangerous - they have weapons." Souma retorted and what he had said makes me mad.
"Of course they have weapons! That's why I'm going to help, if you don't want to fight then leave." I somehow…roared. Souma was then encouraged, maybe because his eyes were sparkling, again. I wonder why he wore such kind of expressions. I mean, from cheerful to sad, then concern to stupid behavior, being a happy-go-lucky and then in a sudden he'll become dummy, he always has different mood swap at any time.
Just then and before Souma could even answer, I heard a low click behind my back and before that thing landed on me, I had caught it swiftly in my right hand. I squeeze it inside my palm and I feel like my hand was burning, at that moment in time I turn and faced the new intruder. No, it was the other guy's companion. A man in a black cloak.
"Bonjour Ciel Phanthomhive. You had caught my bullet; surely Lord Aberline will get mad at me," that man in black cloak yelled, facing me now not a few distances away.
"Ciel your hand is bleeding!" I heard my ex-boss shouted and I know there was terror on his voice – for I don't know what reason it may be. I haven't realized that my right hand which I used catching the bullet was burnt. And I wouldn't realize that if it wasn't because of the pain it caused, plus, I wouldn't notice it if it wasn't because of Souma.
"It's nothing." I answered but in truth I lied. I'm not an idiot not to feel pain, yes, I feel pain in my right hand and it hurt. I mean, it hurts…darn it. That shocked me because I know and I'll bet my pride that the bullet didn't hit me. I had caught it and certainly it didn't pierce through. And by that appalling situation, I then loosen my grip and let the bullet fall off from my hand and just then I feel relief…
Additionally, I just now realized that Souma is now in front of me, rather say, his back facing me – covering me from the intruder's sight.
"Hey you back off!" emitted the man in front and he was pointing his damned gun at Souma. He had swayed it in air and points at the other side, as if indicating Souma to go there. Fah, if only he doesn't possess such weapons, then unquestionably I already had ripped his bones a moment ago.
"I won't, idiot! If you dare to hurt Ciel I'll bite your ass!" Souma warned furiously. Whoa, that's very unusual of him. This is the first time I heard him say such foul words, even idiot he never say. If I am to see my own face this time, assuredly, it's painted with astonishment and shocked.
"You don't know what you're saying, lad. That man behind you is dangerous." He stated and what is it he says again? I'm dangerous – kind of what?! Is he making fun out of me, what the hell! How dare this man insult me, I can not allow anyone to slur I personally. Fah, if only he doesn't retain such gun and if only Souma isn't with me, certainly, I can move freely and without hesitations. ………………. Unfortunately, I can't.
"Man, get away from him,"
"No way, run now Ciel!"
"Are you stupid?"
I answered back. I directed my sight in front and stared at the man; he was still holding his gun and pointing it on us. But I know and I can see it on his eyes – he can't pull the trigger. His vision for uncertain reasons was focused on Souma, and I wonder why. Just then I was going to push Souma because I hate the idea that someone's protecting me (I can defend myself) but then a sudden commotion, or rather say, another unexpected uproar commotion startled me… No, us.
Five, six, seven….exactly twelve strangers appeared and they're covered, I mean – their bodies are covered with black cloaks with hooks attached, covering their faces. What now? Lots of strangers keep appearing in front of me and I don't have any idea on what's going on. Darn it.
And just in a blink of an eye, we are now surrounded….
"Ciel, who are they?"
"Why are you asking me?!"
"Uh, maybe that guy knew them. His back-up rather?" he whispered on me. Just then both of us sighted the man in front, but only to find him nowhere.
"….???????"
'What the hell is happening here?????! Where is that guy? He'd vanished without us noticing and left us with this bunch of cloaked people!'
"I wonder where he'd go…" Souma added.
"It's unsightly to see - you with that human, Sir Ciel." Said the other, and guess what? I haven't notice he's in front of us now. There are twelve of them which surrounds us, plus this one, so there are thirteen of them?
"Show your face, who are you?" I ask and my right brow went up. These people are weird and the way they dressed seem like they're some kind of dark magicians – sorcerers rather? Oh well, it's not to worry about. It's not a big deal but for me I find it disgusting, creepy, - I won't never wear such.
"How sad ~ I can' introduce myself," she answered, no, I mean he or whatever! Darn it, even gender I can't determine (Did my amnesia caused it too?) Well, actually - how should I anyway? The voice was intentionally cracked and just then that entity added, "Get him."
"Do you mean, me?" I confirmed as I tilted my head and added,
"Fah! Lots of strange beings want to get rid of me. However, I am not a willing victim." Just then I pour an evil smirk on them. I fixed my bangs that covered my left eye – how troublesome, my hair is all mess! I step forward and now Souma being behind my back - and that will do well this time…
"Ciel…"
OoOoOoO
Sebastian scoured his black pants and fixed his tie that was disheveled. His white gloves were tinted with his own blood and his chest where he was shot is no longer bleeding, but still crimson painted on that part of him. He grinned at the man in front but was replaced immediately by a grit of his teeth…he must hurry. Surprisingly, his opponent's companion appeared.
"Lord Aberline,"
"Agni, oh is he dead? That fast?!" The demon was then stunned. His Young Master is dead, ah no, he can still smell him and his blood. Subsequently, he saw the other whispered something on that hunter named Aberline – if he had heard it right that is.
"He summoned back-ups, we are surrounded with vampires." Agni whispered. Aberline widened his eyes not due to shocked but fury instead. "You should have killed him! You can and you must even with his back-ups Agni."
"I can't. He's with a human and that person is on the way."
"Oh crap,"
"Told you it's not better to wait for the sun sets,"
"Stupid, let's go before things go worst." Aberline stated as he had shaken his head. He glance back at Sebastian and said, "Your master is lucky this day, however, I'll come and kill that vampire the next time. If you're too loyal of him then protect him well and don't let your guard down, demon." Aberline grinned at Sebastian and then they've vanished, leaving the demon that burst a deep sigh of relief.
"Young Master…" he utters and jumped out through the windows.
OoOoOoO
"You're just wasting your strength, Ciel Phanthomhive. You can't break my rope," I hear him (or maybe her) say and I cursed.
I've never expected this kind of situation would happen, why the hell I end being tied up???? Oh crap! I can't accept this, they are using dirty tricks – where does this rope came from anyway? Darn it! I can't get closer to them and in a sudden this stupid rope appeared and had wrapped tightly around me. It was too fast I couldn't even determine where the rope came from.
I gave him a sinister look and perhaps he was alarmed. Thenceforth he said, "Time to leave."
This is too much! Crazy things are happening and I don't know what's going on. More importantly, what do they want from me -------- darn it! Someone must see us and free me from this rope – this is kidnap! A crime! They must be punished after this, I'll sue them remember that! Damn, this. rope. is. too. tight! Cursed them, they've even hit Souma on the head and fell off. (I hope he won't be having amnesia just like I)
'Bastard criminals!' if only I could speak I'll shout that loud and split their ears. But how could I? They've taped my mouth, darn it! 'What…whoa it's not that I'm floating, or am I? What have they done to me!'
"Young Master!" someone shouted and though I can't' see where it came from, I know it was Sebastian. Young Master, he's the only one who call me that.
"Shit, his demon!" that entity emitted, maybe he's the leader. Ouch, how dare they fall me on the ground! But good grief, Sebastian is here. And good gods, he wasn't h ---- crap! Was that blood on his suit? He's wounded! I knew he would, they have guns on them!
Wait, why I'm acting as if…I'm concerned about him? I must worry for myself and not for him, seriously…what's happening to me? At the midst of my crazy thoughts, Sebastian for unexplained reasons is now in front of…of me. Just then, he'd cut the rope wrapped around my body and pulled the tape that covered my mouth. I stared at him and met his red eyes, it's….awkward. No words I could utter as he unwrapped me, I don't know but somehow…he looks scary. Is he mad at me or is he mad at someone else? Momentarily, he turned around and just then I stretched my arms – haha it's payback time!
". . .?????"
But what the hell?! As I've readied my fist and glance ahead -I found those bastards not there anymore. Fah! Just because I've been freed from their dirty tricks, they'll now escape? Cowards… cowards. Don't they ever show their faces again! (Well, I've never seen their faces in the very first place) Silence went through and I saw Sebastian picked up something on the ground, its round and is shining. A ring?
"Angeru…." I hear him utters something and maybe it's a name of a certain person. Yeah it must be. That shiny material, I saw he put it on his pocket and turns to face me this time. Whoa, don't he ever come closer to me again. "Young Master, show me your hand."
"It's nothing. It's none of your damned business." I answered. 'I'm sure you're the most injured one here and not me.'
"It is my business. Don't be a hard-headed this time Young Master; I've warned you before that your life is in danger. If only you'd come home with me earlier then this wouldn't happen." He stated and for certain I know there was anger on his voice. Anger? If there's someone who must be angry then it's not him, but me.
"I'm in danger? Fah, have you noticed it since when? It's you; since I had ever met you people keep appearing and guess what, they want me dead. Who's the one who puts me into danger here!!!!!!? Certainly not me." I roared and it's all true. How dare this man put the blame on me, he's just one of those strangers who appeared in a sudden. Ever since I lost my memory, people and situation around me has become more enigmatic. Firstly, Souma. The next morning I wake up with a butler tailing me, and then there are two inscrutable people who appeared and want to eradicate me. Plus, strange beings dressed in cloaks emerged in a sudden and were trying to kidnap me, this is bizarre.
"Enough. We're going home now Young Master." He said in a calmer tone. But I know that he was just restraining himself not to explode his anger. He grabbed my left hand (Not the injured one of course) persuasively and was dragging me in to -I don't know where exactly -.
Cursed this man, what is he up to this time? I'm not going with him, stupid! Certainly not! Just then I forcibly slipped off my hand from his, and both of us stopped from walking. I said while competing glares at him,
"I'm not going with you, why would I anyway? If I know you're just one of those who want my head cut off, stupid."
Darn, what I've said makes him mad…Definitely for his eyes were now obviously glistening with fury, as if, shocked mixed with ire. Crap, his glares are killing me.
"The final decision is still mine, Young Master." He said and now he is apparently mad. Wow, I would have never thought he have such kind of expressions. But, poor him because there's no way I'll come with him.
"No one can force me to do something I do not want, and that comprises you." He seems shocked but what he did afterward shocked me most.
I was startled when I found myself imprisoned on his arms, I startled cry as his one hand wrapped around my waist and it's tight, the other on my chin – locking his ominous glares on me. Apparently he does it on purpose, so I couldn't avoid his eyes and damn, he succeeded. Scowling for the sudden actions he just pressed himself forcibly more on me, earning a short groan of response. It's awkward; I feel really awkward and damn him – why is he doing this to me?
"You are coming with me, at any costs." He says and almost whispering. This time he never put Young Master anymore. Perceptibly mad at me, no, certainly. Or, is he really mad? What the hell.
I shivered as I felt his hands tightening his grip on me.
"And what if I won't? You'll kill me?" I answer, voice barely audible.
I annoyed him more and I could see the obvious evidence on his eyes. Darn it, I don't want to see his eyes this close – its redder than I've thought. And though he is mad, still, his stares and glares are melting me, making me feel numb all over. Darn.
I was then petrified as I've felt his lips above mine – what the hell! It's not like we're kissing, he is just forcing his lips on mine. It's…not a kiss it's rape! I've moved my hand but couldn't, his body pressed closely and tightly against mine, his one hand is on my chin – not wanting me to move aside my head. His lips are soft and….damn it…okay I admit – tastes sweet. Crap, what's happening to me?! Having such thoughts like this is outrageous! My body seems like frozen, but deep inside I was shuddering.
I groan as I've felt his thighs pressed against mine, I hardly breathe as his lips continues kissing – not even stopping a single second. He…he…he is burning me, I mean he's hot. No it's me, darn it!
100 times of darn it, why I am kissing him back??????????!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how to kiss but what the hell; I am doing what he is doing to me!
Can't. Stop. Mahself.
I feel my knees were totally numb, if it wasn't because of Sebastian, perhaps I'd collapse for my knees can't bear standing anymore. Why is he kissing me in the very first place???! This man is an idiot, does he forgot I'm a man? Or does he mistake me for a girl?! Perhaps he is outrageously mad at me and kisses me as the punishment? What exactly is it?! Darn it.
Later just then, if it wasn't because of the growling of dogs then I wouldn't notice that Sebastian had parted his lips. His lips just hovering now inches above mine, arms still wrapped on me, "Do you still not want to come with me?"
Anger on his eyes was perished and was replaced with such daring emotions that I couldn't determine what exactly is. The thing is that, no matter what kind of stares he showers on me still…it is melting me wholly. I'm aware of it; my face now is flushed (Darn it)… I turn my head in the right side, trying to avoid his soppy glares (again). Just then, he grabs my chin and forced me to face him back. He's strong, no doubts about it. Even stronger than I, I admit. Has he forgotten he has wounds? Doesn't he feel any pain at all or he's just restraining himself?
When I stare at his eyes right now I couldn't distinguish any pain, there wasn't any but only focusing his sight on me. I flushed because of that and so I decided to avoid those red orbs for once again. My heart is beating so fast, but my mind is storming with immense disgust and fury. I'm disgusted with myself.
"Answer me," he says while he's pressing his body against mine. Give me some distance, will you? I heard him but no words could come out from my mouth; I just don't feel like saying anything. I'm afraid that I'll say something I shouldn't have.
When he got no response from me, he wrapped his arms tightly (again), face that is now just an inch away from me. His lips soaring above mine, and don't he ever dare to kiss me again! In a hard tone, (though my face is flushing like tomato) I say, "Get away from me,"
"Only if you answer me," he retorted and there was urgency on his voice. I glared at him sinisterly, as if I'm throwing sharp daggers on him and with ire I say, "You know what," I started and he was waiting for the next words I'll say.
"I hate you," I say and I mean it. This man in front of me, this man who dare wrapped his arms around me, who had forcibly touch my face, he who dare kissed me and the reason of this unimaginable feelings, - I hate him.
"Perhaps you do," he answered and he was damn calmer now. How could he ignore my blatant confession that I hate him?
"Anyhow, I bet I'm still not hearing an answer I surely want to have," he emitted.
I hate him more. However, I must distant my self from him or else, I'll explode. In order to stop this embarrassing position and in order to stop these weird feelings I felt, I then surrendered.
"I'll come with you." I say, voice barely audible.
I thought it was the answer he needed to hear and he'll free me, but his face is now closer even more. Momentarily, he say and now with passion yet caution, "Say it again and this time - look into my eyes,"
There was silence for awhile. He's damn persistent, isn't he?
"I'll come with you Sebastian." I obeyed, almost stuttering. Damn him.
"Say it again, like you mean it."
"I said I'll come with you darn it Sebastian!" I growled.
Being satisfied with my answer, he then unwrap his arms. I saw him grinning, and damn I found it cute this time. "Good, now you're mad, looks like you really meant it." he says.
That's all? He is insane.
He steps forward and added, "Please get inside now," he paused for awhile and he bowed (Why the hell he's bowing??! I'm not a god!), "…Young Master."
"…"
'Hey, when and how this high-class carriage appeared in front????'
"In the carriage?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Of course, Young Master." He answered and I shake my head; I can't believe that this is happening. But I bet its better to obey, or else he'll kiss me again if I won't. Besides, I want to bring back my memories and I want to know what kind of person is Ciel Phanthomhive. Who is Ciel Phanthomhive? Perhaps Sebastian is the only key in order for me to know that part of me. Perhaps.
Before I step in inside the carriage, I glance at the person lying unconsciously on the ground. I nearly forgot him, Souma.
"Can I bring him?" I say.
OoOoOoO
END of Chapter
I must admit, this fanfic and plot was inspired by an anime which I love so much – VAMPIRE KNIGHT! Te-hee! I was just thinking if I could make Ciel as a vampire, and I found it interesting. I don't know what you think about this, but I hope you won't mind if I am to make Ciel a vampire, ne? The thing is that, I am not sure if my plot makes sense. What do you think? Does it? Ah, whatever it may be.
