In an attempt to free himself, Ciel struggles, but it's useless. Dubar is just too strong for Ciel. It's apparent that his lack of physical strength is great since he's still physically only a child. Dubar is carrying him towards the front of the property, away from the under ground room, away from the ritual site, away from Sebastian. He can't stand for this. Sebastian was his! He made a contract with him first, a secondary contract shouldn't overlap the first one right? Struggling harder, Ciel makes an attempt to free himself by kicking backwards to try and hit Dubar in the shin. "Let go of me! Bastard! Let go!"
Dubar just keeps walking along, as if Ciels attempts were nothing more than a small puppy wanting to free itself from his arms to wreak havoc in the house."Give it up Earl Phantomhive. You've lost. The demon belongs to my master now. And there's nothing you can do to change that." Dubar mundanely states as if nothing mattered to him. Walking up to the front gate of the property, "Unlock the gate, we have a pest that needs to be dispursed from the property immediately." Dubar ordering the gatekeeper.
"Yes sir." The gate keeper replies, unlocking the gate in a slight hurried manner. Then opening the gate, holding it open just enough to allow a person to walk through.
Shoving Ciel through the opened gate, Dubar slams the gate shut, locking the chain around it before Ciel even has a chance to get off the ground. "We thank you for your patronage Earl Phantomhive. We will insist however that you keep yourself from trespassing in the future." Turning towards the Gatekeeper, "Remember his face, under no circumstances is he to be permitted access to the property." Dubar states to the gate keeper as he's walking towards the manor. Then in a sudden stop without turning, "Oh yes, and please make sure to block that side small door in the wall would you? We can't have anymore rodents roaming in."
"Yes Sir."
With rage apparent in his face, Ciel grabs the bars to the gate, shaking it as if he's trying to force his way in even though he knows it's futile. "This isn't over yet! You hear me! I'll find away to get Sebastian back! Then you'll regret this! I promise you this!" Ciel shouts with all his fury. He didn't even care if his true age was showing at that moment. Sebastian was his piece, his tool. And like any other game you can get the piece back one way or another. Releasing the gate Ciel walked over to his carriage. "Tanaka, take us home, i've some research to do." Ciel stated entering the carriage, not even glancing at the other servants.
"What happened young master?" Maylene says in fright. Fearful of Ciel's anger, but still very curious.
Ciel turns to face her with his angered expression. For a moment he's silent, but he decides they'd find out sooner or later, but he also knows he can't reveal that Sebastian is a demon. Taking a few breathes to clear his head he replys, "I've just found my suspicions were correct."
"Suspicions?" Bard, Maylene and Finni question in unison, confused by the unusual answer.
"Right. I was suspicious that there was something going on when Sebastian didn't appear from theater after Gregory and Baron Delmantes had left." Ciel states, still trying to think of a quick comeback to keep the others from finding out the real truth. Then an idea struck him, it was cliche, but it would probably keep them from finding out the real truth. "Sebastian's been kidnapped. The owner of that manor found out how great of a butler Sebastian was, and apparently he'd declined the offer to take a job with him. So the owner of the manor took him. He's being held hostage as we speak."
"Ah! Sebastian!" Finni shouts.
"We have to rescue him!" Bard exclaims as if he was ready to fight an army.
"What are we gonna do?" Maylene exclaims clasping her hands together as if trying to come up with a plan of her own.
"It's not that simple. We can't just go in and take him back. I'm sure he's got some sort of plan to claim Sebastian has been his butler the whole time."
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Bard questions with a worried expression on his face.
While thinking aloud, Ciel replies, "That's the problem, even though many of the other nobles know that Sebastian has been in my service this whole time, i'm sure some excuse that would come up would be that he sent Sebastian to me for my care."
"Ummm, but don't you have a signed contract showing how long Sebastians in service with you?" Finni questions meekly as if not wanting to sway Ciel's train of thought.
With growing wide eyes, shock could only be the thing on Ciel's face at that moment. 'Of course why didn't I think of that? If he could get some sort of documentation together showing Sebastian had been in his service the whole time, he could get him back, then try to remove that secondary demon contract somehow. But wait...Sebastian doesn't have a birth certificate or any other documentation proving this.' Frustration hitting him again, Ciel still tries to ponder what he could do to fix this problem. Not only would he have to get Sebastian physically back, but contract wise as well, which would probably be far more complicated in the long run. Even if he did get Sebastian back, with that secondary contract in place, Malavist would easily just order Sebastian to return to him. 'Think Ciel, you have to think, there's got to be someway to resolve this.'

The sun's rays are spilling through the cracks of the curtains from not being shut fully. The sun's rays pointing in the direction of a victorian canopy huge bed, as if trying to reach it, but not quiet able to. Within the bed is a form covered beneath the lavander silken comforter. The sleeping Sebastian within the covers, looking neutral in his sleep. Flincing his eyes, Sebastian slowly wakes, coming back from the world of sleep he'd been in for most of the night. 'Where am I?' Sebastian ponders. Shifting his head to try to look around the room he notices he's definately not at either of the Phantomhive residents. Sitting up with abit of effort, "Uhhg, why do I feel like I want to throw up?" Sebastian mutters. Lifting his left hand to his head, he notices a bandage on his left wrist. "Whats this?" Lightly touching his wrist. "Tsk! It hurts." While looking abit more around the room. "This doesn't seem to be any of the rooms in the acquaintances of the young master." Almost as if answering him, the cloak figure enters the room from the entrance.
"Ah I see your awake now. Sleep well?" The cloaked figure asks with a hint a joy in his voice.
"Who are you? And where is the young master?" Sebastian questions uncertain of what was going on.
"You don't have to worry about the Earl Phantomhive, I expect he's at home right now. Possibly asleep or having breakfast."
"If that's the case then why am I here?" Sebastian questions, not understanding why he was separate from Ciel. Had he been loaned out again by the young master? Sebastian pondered in his mind the possibilities.
"Hmph, your here because I own you now. I'm your new master." The cloaked figure snidely remarks.
"Pardon me, but my master is Ciel Phantomhive, i've a contract with him and no one else." Sebastian states confidently.
"Yes you do have a contract with Earl Phantomhive...Or atleast you have the payment portion of it in tack. Otherwise you belong to me."
'Does he know? Does he know everything? From his remark it sounds like he does.' Sebastian thought with a sceptical look on his face.
"I know what your thinking, and the answer is yes, I know your a demon who has a contract with Ciel Phatomhive..or should I say had? Such technicalities. Ah but I guess I should be more sad, I never got to name you myself. But I guess Sebastian will have to do. It is kind of a cute name if one were to think on it."
Becoming angered at the cloaked figures remark, Sebastian leaps out of the bed, grabbing the cloaked figure by the neck, ready to strangle some answers out of him if he had to, "Answer me! Who are you? Explain!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this won't do at all, aggressive behavior will not be tolerated if it's towards me who is your master." The cloak figure retorts as if Sebastian wasn't holding him by the neck at all.
And with that statement, Sebastian felt a sharp pain within his mind, making him release his grip, falling to the floor as if someone had hit him in the back of the head. Gripping his head in an attempt to make the pain stop, he curls into a ball on the floor, trying to ease the pain.
"My, my, my, who knew with such a simple thought it'd cause so much pain." Standing over Sebastian, "I hope this pain will be a reminder for you to behave yourself in my presence." Kneeling down while reaching out to Sebastian, he strokes his head. "There, there, I think you've learned your lesson."
Once that was said the pain stopped, and Sebastian lay panting on the floor, confused as to what just happened.
Lifting Sebastian up to bring him to eye level, "Like I said, i'm your master now, this..." gently touching the red gem. "Collar is proof that I own you. It holds both our blood, making a permanent contract between us. Overriding ownership of you from Ciel Phantomhive to me." Removing the hood from his cloak, golden tresses cascade down to his lower back. Revealing his face for the first time in Sebastian's presence. He was a beautiful man, with green eyes like emeralds, and not a single blemish on his face, with his bangs just above his eyes, parted in the middle. "See the face of your new master, Sebastian Michealis." Smiling as Sebastians eyes widened in surprise at his name being spoken by this man. "My name is Balas Cain Malavist, remember it well, since your going to be with me for a very long...long time."
Silence descending the room like a sudden bomb going off. Sebastian shocked at the unveiling of Malavist's face. Apart of him thought he'd had some abnormality to hide with the cloak, but it proved to not be so. And even when nothing was spoken, this man had caused him pain. Enough pain to bring him collasping to the floor. He didn't understand what happened, what was going on, or what had transpired to of caused all this. All he knew was that apart of him feared the man before him, and he couldn't even understand why. Did Ciel try to rid himself of the contract? No he couldn't of, Ciel had too much that needed to be done with his assistence. So why? Why was he here? With this strange person who'd caused him pain a moment ago without uttering so much as a word. As if to stop his train of thoughts running through his head...
"My look at the time, it's time for our own breakfast." Malavist says smiling as if nothing has ever even transpired. Lifting Sebastian to his feet, Sebastian is able to see he's a good foot shorter than Malavist. Almost as if Malavist didn't want to let go of his forearms, he reluctantly releases Sebastian, then walks over to a warddrobe, opening the doors. "Now what shall I have you wear today? The weather is nice and warm so nothing too heavy."
While Malavist is going through the closet, Sebastian is able to take a moment to glance around the room again, noticing bars on the windows, probably to keep him from leaving outside, they looked simple enough to break if he got the chance. Noticing a mirror near the bed, he sees his reflection. 'My goodness i'ma a mess, my shirt is ruined and wrinkled, and my hair is in dire need of a good combing.' Leaning forward to get a better look at the collar on his neck, he realizes it's not very thick, only about half an inch in width, around his neck like a choker, not tight enough to choke him though, with the red gem dangling like a dog tag. Tugging on the collar to see how sturdy it was, he feels that it's not an ordinary collar and probably won't come off with a simple tug. Quitting for now, he turns back to Malavist who's still going through the warddrobe, unable to decide on Sebastians outfit for the day.
"Oh this one would be cute! Ah! But maybe this color would be better for the weather today?" Malavist ranted as if he were a woman looking for a new outfit for their own child.
Shifting his eyes towards the door, Sebastian slowly creeps towards it, in an attempt to make an escape. He was pretty sure Ciel wouldn't be too pleased with him if he did bodily harm to Malavist at the current moment. So he figured escaping would be a top priority. Almost to the door, Sebastian reaches for the doorknob..
"Ah this one is perfect!"
Surprised from the sudden outburst Sebastian freezes from his motion. Feeling that eyes are on him, almost as if they were telling him to not even think about opening the door at that precise moment.
"Now, now, I know your hungry but you can't walk around in a ruined shirt, and those pants you wore since yesterday." Malavist says with a smile, holding some clothes in his arms.
Fingers twitching as if he doesn't know what to do, Sebastian's hand hovers just above the door knob, wanting to just move his hand to open the door, but feeling a tug in his mind telling him not to. He felt contradicted. He knew all he had to do was grab and turn the knob to open the door, he knew after it was open he could escape, that he could get to the Phantomhive manor quickly after he was out. But something else was telling him no. Don't open touch the knob, don't open the door. That if he were to open the door at that moment he'd regret it in the worst way possible that would even hurt a demon.
"Come here and try these on, we have to make sure the are the right size." Malavist's expression unchanging.
Almost as if he was being obedient, Sebastian turned awkwardly towards Malavists and shakingly walked toward him. Almost as if he was trying to fight his own body's movements, bare feet silently walking over the carpet, until he's finally in front of Malavist.
Cupping Sebastians chin in his hand, "I told you, i'm your master, I own you, whatever I will for you to do you can't help but do it. All I have to do is think a single thought and you'll do it if I so wish it." Malavist whispers.
As if he's unable to speak, Sebastian just stares into Malavist's eyes, almost like he's drowning in them while hyperventilating slightly.
"This is the part where you say, yes, my lord."
While still staring into Malavists' eyes, "Yes, my lord." Sebatian repeats, not realizing he'd said it without being ordered to mentally, possibly due to the shock of how far the control actually went with the power of the collar.
Rubbing his thumb on Sebastian's lower lip, "Good boy, Sebastian. Now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Releasing Sebastian's chin, Malavist takes a step back. "Now then, I believe you've got an outfit to try on." Holding the bundle in his arms out towards Sebastian like it was a gift.

"Damn it!" There had to be a way! There just had to. Even if it took him years he'd find a way to break that secondary contract on Sebastian and return him to the Phantomhive residence or he'd die trying. He'd read every book he could find about demon contracts, rituals, and anything else that might give him a clue as to how to validate the original contract again. Surrounded by books, Ciel was at a loss, frustrated, and very pissed off. "If only there was a way to find out what actually happened that night, then that'd atleast be a start." Ciel stated rubbing his temples. This was probably the most dedication he'd ever have when it came to studying. Though he doubted anything in these books held true, it still didn't stop him from trying.
"What a pain. Isn't there anything I could use?" Ciel muttered picking up another book on demon rituals. This was the fifteenth book he'd picked up on the subject, and he was about as far on the topic as when he began. Nowhere. Glaring at the book for being useless he places it atop a set of books to his right, leaning back sighing. And to think he'd even reduced himself to sitting on the floor of his room for this little study session of his. But it was to keep the others from finding out Sebastian's true nature after all. And it only took a simple order to keep the other servants out of his room, even if he wasn't there.
With a sigh, "What to do, what to do?" Ciel chanted over and over, trying to get the gears in his brain turning. Frustration growing on his face, until finally, Ciel falls back, spread out on the floor. Looking very much like the child he was. "Lets see, bright light, collar, dagger, symbol on floor..." Ciel muttered some more, trying to replay the event in his head. Until a knock comes from his door.
"Young master." Maylene called from the otherside of the door. "Theres a urgent letter for you."
Sighing again, Ciel lifts himself up to a sitting position on the floor, rubbing the back of his head much like Bard does on occastion when he's done something wrong. "Just slide it under the door." Ciel stated so she could hear him clearly.
"Yes young master!" Maylene sputtered, then with a rustling sound from the door, a envelope appears from the botton of the door. After which, Maylene's footsteps are heard leaving from the front of the door. Possibly to continue her duties. After making sure Maylene wasn't near the door, Ciel got up off the floor and picked up the envelope with a bored expression. "Tsk, looks like another invite to some party of some sort." Ciel stated looking at the fancy design that he'd never seen before. Checking the seal, he realizes he's not entirely sure who the sender is. Curiosity getting the better of him, Ciel breaks the seal on the letter, to read the contents. Within moments Ciels face is filled with such a horrid look of surprise, that if Sebastian had seen him, he was sure the demon would of bursted out laughing at his face. "A PARTY INVITATION FROM MALAVIST?" Ciel shouts while clutching the letter with wide eyes. Deciding to read the contents of the letter aloud to make sure he wasn't going crazy, Ciel sat on the edge of his bed.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE CONGRADULATORY CERMONY PARTY OF BALAS CAIN MALAVIST ON HIS ACHIEVEMENT TO THE CROWN FOR HIS CREATION OF MEDICINES TO CURE DEADLY SICKNESSES.
INVITATION GRANTED TO: EARL CIEL PHANTOMHIVE
WHEN: TONIGHT AT 7PM AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE IN LONDON
"Is he trying to mock me?" Ciel muttered strongly, but after reading it aloud, he could see that his name was indeed on the invite in gold lettering. "What a sorry excuse for an invitation, it looks like a kid wrote it. But in anycase this might be my chance to discover something about the ritual." Getting up off his bed, Ciel ran to his door, slamming it open. "Servants pack the luggage and ready the carriage immediately we're going to london within the hour!" Ciel shouted from his door, not caring that it seemed abit childish in the least. But with a cheer coming from random directions Ciel was satistfied and closed his door again. He had to get ready, he was still in his pajamas, and without Sebastian he'd have to do it himself since he couldn't very well let anyone in his room with the books laying around, and he wasn't going to waste precious time putting them away in hiding. Opening his closet, he pulls out random clothes to wear and pack at the same time, knowing very well that he'd have to place them in a trunk that he'll have to have brought to his door. "Now isn't the time to be picking out what matches for tonight. I'll just do it later." Ciel says in his rush. Awkwardly getting dressed, it was safe to say it looked like Ciel got into a fight after he was done, his tie was tied horribly, his shorts were wrinkled, and his shirt wasn't even fully tucked in. Atleast he'd put on clothes that matched. Brown shorts, white shirt, and green tie.
Grabbing the pile of clothes he'd thrown on his bed, Ciel races to his door, awkwardly opens it, steps out of his room, and awkwardly closes the door. "How do people do this on a daily basis?" Ciel shouts frustrated that his own clothes were preventing him from making proper time for departure. "Finni! Bring me a trunk immediately!" Ciel shouts, almost sounding like a five year old throwing a tantrum. But it wasn't long til Finni brought a trunk placing it on the floor near Ciel. "Did you need any help packing young master?" Finni sheepishly asked noticing Ciel holding a rather large amount of clothing. "Just open the trunk." Ciel aggitatiedly stateds, while Finni complies to his request. "Young master if your in a hurry I cou...ahhh!" Finni shockingly states. Ciel had just litterally dumped his clothes into the trunk, without folding them as Sebastain would of done had he been there, closed the lid and was currently trying to close the trunk. "Stupid thing! Close!" Ciel said with a huff, pushing down on the lid in an attempt to close it.
"Young master! You'll ruin your clothes like that!" Finni says with shock.
"No time to make it nice, we have to hurry to London!" Ciel says with a struggle, still trying to close the lid.
"What for?" Finni questions, unsure if he should help.
Throwing himself over the lid "There's a very.." while pushing more on the lid with his body weight, "Important." sitting on the lid now and bouncing to try to close it "Party that I." with a final bouce on the lid, "Must go!" lid is now shut, Ciel pushes the lock on the trunk closed, "to." Ciel finally completes his sentence with a huff. Getting off the trunk while panting Ciel states "Take this to the carriage immediately, i'll be down in a few, tell the others they'd better be ready in 10 minutes."
Saluting like a soldier, Finni excitedly states "Yes my lord!" Then dashes off with Ciel's trunk in tow.
Dashing back into his room, Ciel practically throws on his socks and a pair of shoes that did not require any form of tying shoe laces, finally grabbing his coat and the invite, Ciel was about to hurry out of the room when one of the books in the pile he'd yet to read caught his eye. Not bothering to read the title, Ciel grabs it, along with his cane, then dashes out of the room.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"Should I wear this one? Or this one?" Malavist questioned no one in particular holding two coats, one a royal blue, the other a type of moss green. He was currently in front of a mirror holding the two coats trying to decide between the two. Turning towards his bed, "Which do you think is better?" Malavist questions with a smile..
Currently sitting cross legged on Malavists' bed was Sebastian, wearing what seemed to be an adult version of the clothes he'd dress Ciel in. Except instead of shorts he was wearing pants, they were the darkest shade of purple, along with the coat, with a white button up shirt, and red tie, tied the way he would of done for Ciel, wearing his white gloves, and black socks, having discarded the shoes to the foot of the bed so's to not get the sheets dirty. Scoffing "What does it matter?" while hugging one of Malavists pillows in front of him as if he were trying to use it as a shield from Malavist.
"Aww don't be like that!" Malavist whinned loudly. "I really want your opinion, I can't have us wearing the same color, so I specifically choose these colors so we'd match." Malavist pouted.
"Are you really an adult?" Sebastian questioned, hugging the pillow tighter to himself, covering the lower part of his face, as if he were preparing for some sort of assault from Malavist.
In a very conceited fashion, "Of course, i'll have you know i'm way past my child years thank you very much." Malavist retorted with a hand to his hip.
Whispering while turning away. Sebastian retorted "Could of fooled me."
"What was that?" Malavist questioned with curiosity.
Turning back to Malavist with a smile "Nothing...Nothing." Sebastian replied. Obviously aggitated at his current situation, but unable to do anything about it.
"It's not nice to lie Sebastian." Malavist pouts.
'I lied?' Sebastian thought. 'Hmm human emotions must be getting the better of me. But I won't think much on it, in this case, it's probably a good thing.' "Forgive me...mas...ter." Sebastian states almost like he was gagging on the word master.
With a eerie smile, "That's better, and if you behave tonight, i'll give you a treat when we get back home." Malavist says cheerfully.
'What am I a dog? I hate dog references' Sebastian thought while glaring at Malavist. "I'll do my best...master." Sebastian mumbled.
"I think i'll go with the red one, to match your tie, i'll even put on a purple tie so we could be opposites." Malavist exclaims getting dressed while facing away from Sebastian.
'I'm not sure if my situation is good or not.' Sebastian thought trying to weigh his current master against Ciels qualities. 'On the one hand both houses had some sort of annoyance, on the other hand, I don't do any chores here, but at the young masters place, I can't say I was bored, but here it seems like there are more plans that I don't know about, the young master always let me in on his plans, but then again they usually didn't involve using me in eerie ways. Am I getting creeped out? That's a first, but it's logical considering Malavist is very creepy. Atleast with the young master I had some sort of freedom as well. It seems like here I don't have any. Even though I haven't done anything since i've been here.' Sebastian still in his thought, while taking a glance at Malavist who was almost done getting ready. 'I wonder what he's planning, I can't read him at all like I could the young master.'
"My my what a hard thinking look you have, Sebastian."
Surprised, "Ah!" Sebastian looks over at Malavist wide eyed.
"Tell me what are you thinking about so hard?" Malavist asks with a smile while holding the ends of his tie that was partitially around his neck still facing the mirror, which had Sebastians' reflection in it. Giving Malavist the perfect view to see his face as well as Sebastians.
Remaining silent, Sebastian stares at Malavist, clutching the pillow to himself tighter.
Turning around without doing his tie, "Ahh the silent treatment eh?" placing a hand on his hip in a curt manner, "No matter I know what your thinking anyway. What's he planning? I seem to have freedom yet actually do not. Those kinds of thoughts would be in anyone's mind. But I guess I could tell you some of my plans considering they do involve you after all. Though I unfortunately had to postpone them due to the ceremony." Placing a finger to his chin and crossing his other arm around him. "But I wonder if I should when I really think on it, it's not like you have a choice anyway."
Sebastian, keeping his eyes on Malavist the whole time. "What ceremony?"
"Oh that's right I didn't tell you did I. We're going to the Crystal Palace in London. Have you ever been? It's quite nice. Oh and I even had an invitation sent to the Earl Phantomhive. You can think of it as a little present from me. Sort of a last sighting if you will. Especially since we'll be moving soon anyway."
"Moving?" Sebastian said loudly.
"Yes, we're going to my country estate after the ceremony. But I won't tell you where it is. I can't have the Earl following me now can I? It will be our permanent residence as well. I hope you'll like it. So many flowers and trees. Perfect for privacy as well. Even experiments..among other things." Malavist says with a smile that seemed to have grown.
"So are you planning to do experiementations on me?" Sebastian questioned with a neutral expression on his face. 'Typical humans, always wanting to do the most obvious.' Sebastian thought after.
"Not much honestly, I have much more interesting things in mind. But I won't talk about it now. After all why spoil the party." Malavist snidely remarked.

AHHHHHHHH! CHAPTER 6 IS DONE! Good grief it seems I never get a break, Goverment assignment, then got called for jury duty (which got cancelled yay me!), a member of our group didn't even show up so that makes things worse, cause if he had shown up we could of gotten the project done very quickly! Then pretty much had nothing to do for the rest of the semester except tests, but noooooooooooooooooooo. Gahh! Why did this guy have to be in our group! I had him last semester in the first part of the class and he's such a slacker!
Chants: I will not kill classmate, I will not kill classmate.
Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I know it was probably abit boring, but not all chapters can have a flair after all. Without the boring chapters the little details would go unnoticed. Anyway i'm working on chapter 7, and I might have to raise the rating of the story, not that it'll stop any minors from reading it anyway, but hey atleast i'm warning you guys right?
Comments and critique go loved!
Extra rant: MAYLENES A SNIPER? OMG HOW RANDOM IS THAT? Apparently she's not near sighted, but far sighted. Go figure, that explains why she can't read things upclose, even with glasses. But can kill a person miles away without glasses. Ahhh Kuroshitsuji you have the most awesome minor characters! Bard and Finni's backgrounds were pretty much what I thought though. I guess they aren't as incompetant as Sebastian says. Now if only he'd think on that a little maybe they wouldn't explode the house by trying so hard to please him with the chores. Oh well, they still pwn! XD.
