Oh and thanks for all the reviews and alerts I've been getting! Sorry if I haven't responded to you yet! Will as soon as possible!

Ciel's POV

I couldn't help the grin that escaped my lips when I felt Sebastian's hand running through my hair, even more so when I felt his lips on my forehead. It was an odd feeling that was growing inside me, like some forbidden thing was trying to leave my body. It was something I had never experienced before, and it sent chills through me to think about it. But whenever Sebastian was near me, or touched me it would come back again with 10 times as much force as it did the last. I felt it even when we were in the human world, but since we arrived here it has taken on a new level. Something I was by all means necessary not prepared for. But it was irrelevant trying to push it back down, it was too persistent. I was too persistent. Well not in the open anyways. No, when ever in contact with my ex-butler I would just blush embarrassingly, not at all helping with my situation that I was currently in.

But Sebastian…

I thought as I felt the demon's presence leave my side and for a moment hearing him pause at the door until walking out.

"I think I may be in love with you." I whispered before falling into a deep sleep.

I curtain was drawn open in the bedroom, causing bright lights to come in a hit my un-expecting eyes lids. I groaned and rolled in the bed so I was face down.

"Ciel, there is to be a lot of planning today. Quite a few people in this town will not accept you besides my mother. When we go out today be prepared for the worst." Sebastian spoke with a somewhat tired voice.

"You really know how to brighten someone's day up, you know? My first day in Hell and you already condemmed it to be... Well, Hell!" I shouted into my pillow, just making me sound muffled and lost its original effect.

"Ha, well I apologize. But it is true when I say today will not be easy on you. So, come on, let's get changed. You're still in what you died in." He said with a laugh.

I stiffened. Oh, right I died the night before. I still feel alive. My hand went for my wrist to feel a pulse, but alas there was none. It wasn't like my body was cold though; if just felt like the same temperature that it was around me. And it was rather hot, but I was getting use to it.

Sebastian watched with humour as I checked to see what he was saying was true. My brow furrowed

"It isn't funny, I just forgot okay!" A small pout formed on my face.

"I know it must still be a confusing concept, but even so we must continue on, no?" He questioned me. What else was I going to do anyways? I might as well just get use to it.

I nodded in response, "Well then before I get changed, is there any possibility I can get a bath. I can still feel ashes on me." And death. And death wasn't at all comforting.

Sebastian's face looked like he was trying to remember something. "Ah right, I forgot, we have a small bath hole in the back room. It may be a little dirty though." He spoke with realization.

We made our way to the farthest room in the house, it had been very dark and cob-web full. But finally we reached a door that opened up to an even dark room. Sebastian stuck the candelabra into the room light it up with many candles.

The space was virtually empty except for a hole in the floor that seemed to go down for about 4 feet. It was easy to tell in hadn't been used in many years. Dust and water stains abundant in the tub. If you looked in the hole you could see there were to seats built in.

The entire scene made my hopes of a nice bath decrease. My face falling slightly.

"Eh, Sebastian-" I started before he interrupted me.

"Yes, I know, right away." A within a blink of an eye the entire room was lighted by all the candles, they bath tub glistening with just being freshly scrubbed. Water already beginning to fill the hole from holes in the side of it.

"Wow." Is all I could let out.

He smirked, "Well it is to only be expected of… I mean, I do my best." He corrected himself quickly.

I began to undress myself, unbuttoning my dress shirt which went well. But by the time I tried to pull it off my arms I somehow got tangled so that my arms were crossing over my head, my face squished in-between my forearms. How did this happen?

"Uhm…" Silently requesting for help from the demon by my side. His hands were just above my armpits when we started run them up my arms slowly removing the shirt, blatantly making my shiver under his touch until the shirt was removed. My pale skin hitting the air.

I had better luck with removing my pants, I would most probably die of embarrassment if he had to help me with that. The moment my underwear left my body I jumped into the now high water, not wanting to be seen by Sebastian. Though it was sort of irrelevant since he had already seen me naked countless times, and had quick eyes so he would of have seen my anyways despite my efforts.

I relaxed into the water that was pleasantly cool against the hot air. I let my body sink father down into the comfortable water, until I was completely submerged. My hair floated around my face as I held my breath. I thought. I thought about everything.

I forgot how long I just stayed like that, when I felt Sebastian tugged me back up to the surface.

"Even though you don't technically require air anymore, I think I would prefer if you stayed above the water." He had a worried look on his face. Like he actually thought I was drowning. Just like I had when I died. Well, really it was the force of the impact when I hit the river that would have killed me, but I remember being able to think in my last moments of life when I fell deeper and deeper into the water.

"You would save me though, wouldn't you? If I was drowning, I mean." I asked, I was already pretty sure of the answer but it was reassuring to hear him say it.

"I would never let you leave me, Ciel. If that is indeed what you are implying." He paused to get in closer by my ear. "You belong to me, forever." I let my wet back slump against his clothed chest. I didn't respond, letting him take the act as he would.

He ran his hands through my wet hair, washing out the ashes and clumps of dirt that were tangled in. He was gentle, as always, making me rest onto him even more.

For a moment I forgot my senses and turned around so I was facing him. I didn't know what overcame me when I leaned in and pressed my lips to his soft ones. I let myself linger there for a second before realizing what I was doing when my hands reached his chest.

My eyes grew large and I pulled back, my hand covering my mouth in shock of my own actions.

Sebastian was no more composed than I was. His eyebrows were raised high, and his jaw was slack.

"I-I was just thanking you! For the bath you know! It w-wasn't like I wanted to kiss you b-bea-becus…" I trailed off, not sure where I was going with the excuse. I was sure my face was already a bright red.

"The heat here must be getting to me." I said quietly, I ducked my head so my hair covered my eyes from his still amazed look.

"Ciel, I-" He was cut off by a sharp knock at the front door. I could hardly hear it from all the way in the back room, but for Sebastian it was probably ten times louder. Which is why his head whipped around to quickly at the sound's direction. I could see his face and the frustration at whoever was at the door.

"Stay here, wrap yourself in this towel and don't come out unless I tell you too, do you understand?" He handed me the large cloth, staring at me until I gave him an answer.

"Yes, I understand." Not seeing what else to say. He dashed out the door to answer whoever was waiting. I could clearly tell he already knew who it was.

When I heard the door slam open, Sebastian began to talk rushed and in hush tones, "What are you doing here?" I could hardly hear him whisper. I moved closer to the door so I would be able to hear what was going on.

"I should be the one asking YOU that, Antony!" A shrill voice shouted. Antony? Who is that?

"Don't call me by that name, Mother." He spoke in a calm voice, though clearly restraining any anger.

"AHA, I suppose you are correct, you don't deserve be called by that name anymore, not that you ever did in the first place. But tell me, how do you think a mother is to feel when she hears from neighbours that her long-lost-son had suddenly returned, with a human no-less!" The other voice spoke loudly.

Disobeying what Sebastian told me to do, I began to creep out of the room and down the long hall until I was watching the unfolding seen from behind a wall. The women he was speaking too looked only a few years older than him, but that was probably hundreds of years for them. She had straight black hair that reached to her lower back Her height was fairly shorter than Sebastian, but still towering. All in all she was beautiful, but her face was harsh, mean. I could see his back stiffening at her words.

"I understand that you must be in some shock bu-" He was cut off when she started to scream again.

"SHOCK? SHOCK! YOU THINK I'M IN SHOCK?! TRY UTTER EMBARESSMENT! My only son, who disappears for 3 years to come back with some rotten meal. It is true that 3 years isn't long for us, but imagine what other demons have been saying, the rumours. Some to the extent that you went to heaven to try and get wings! Imagine, what I had to go through to protect our family's image! You disgraced us all!" She ranted.

Sebastian merely twitched at the speech. His face was still stoic, but there was something behind there, that I was sure not even his mother would notice. And I didn't like the fact that I was being referred to as "rotten food".

I was about to run away before I could get caught, but just as I began to move my foot got caught in a loose floor board causing me to shout and fall right on my face.

2 pairs of red eyes turned to stare at me.

Shit.

So, I'm not entirely pleased with how this chapter came out. But I like it none-the-less. Sebby's real name! Antony, it means praiseworthy. And yeah, Sebastian and Ciel's first kiss! Went well, could of gone better if Sebastians stupid mother didn't have to come into play. Ah well she is part of the story line so I can't rid of her. Yet, MUHAHAHAHA.

Oh shit I got Light's evil laugh, that means it's time for me to head out!

See you next chapter!

Love,
