Sorry it's a little later than normal. I have a temp job for the next 8 weeks (Now 7 weeks) working 9 - 6pm so I may not have time til the weekends to write.

Plus…I didn't know how to write this chapter. ^^" I haven't even looked at this for nearly two weeks, I had to re-read the whole thing to remember what I was writing. Which now that I think about it instead of a cardboard tent, I think Sebastian would probably make an actual small house for the kitten. xD


Chapter 7

Ciel sat by the ledge of the window looking out into the streets of London, watching as the happy people passes by going about their normal lives. It was now morning, the carriage had return to the police department where he now sat, his paw was wrapped up after he was given a bath though it took longer than the man expected seeing as Ciel didn't exactly agree to the idea of being touched by just anyone, even as a cat. Poor Aberline must have several scratches by the time he finished, not that Ciel cared, though there has always been something about that man that made him feel different.

Interrupting his thoughts, the doors opened, revealing the said detective who took his coat off the coat hanger, getting ready to leave but not before leaving food and water for the 'stray cat' he treated.

"There you go, I'm just going to head out, I'll be back later, okay?" Aberline spoke as he stroke the soft grey fur behind his ears. All Ciel could do was sit there looking out of the window lazily as he couldn't be bothered to react. Not long after, he was alone, yet again. Sebastian has yet to find him, though it has only been one night, it had made him think whether things will be back to normal again, or at least as normal as it will ever be. Being like this made him feel weak.

'No.' He thought.

He had been weak all along, the only thing he had that kept him going was hatred and revenge but even then he still had Sebastian with him. Everything had always been relied on Sebastian, never once did he ever acknowledge him in any way.

He had never been kind to anyone after that incident, he just didn't trust anyone. Did that include Sebastian too? Afterall he is a demon; full of murder, deceits and lies, all which covered with a blanket red as blood. No, he trusted Sebastian; the person who can't be trusted the most…was himself. He lies to his heart, deceiving so many people around him and even involved in murderous crimes, he was no better that a demon himself. If he had been more open about his feelings and stopped trying to hide it, maybe things wouldn't have gotten out of hand. He liked Sebastian, more so than he should. If he had acknowledged this sooner, would it have gotten to this state? Would that have been best? To go against all society and his family's name just for some irrational emotion? He didn't know. Right now, all he knew was that he is tired as his eyes closed drifting into a world where dreams will only stay as dreams.


Sebastian had been all around town but not once did he even had a glimpsed of Ciel, his thoughts went back to what Undertaker had told him.

His search had concluded that Undertaker had something to do with this; entering the shop full of coffins, he looked around into the cluttered store to find the one he was looking for.

"Undertaker." A lid from one of the coffin opened, revealing a bony hand reaching out with its long black nails.

"Uhehehheh. It's nice to see you here. Oh…Alone, are we? That is a surprise." Undertaker stated through his grin. Sebastian ignored him as he took out the vial.

"I believe this was yours." He claimed, holding it out towards the other.

"My. My. What makes you say that?"

"Please…I don't have time to play games."

"Oh? Well that's too bad…You know the drill, first show me a 'first rate laugh'." Sebastian slowly let out a breath as he stared.

"Well then, I will just have to find Ciel on my own." He turned to leave only to be stopped by the dark cloaked male.

"I wonder, if the butler isn't there, is the earl just a child who can't do anything?" Undertaker uttered. "Hmmm…Why are you so interested in the boy?" Undertaker asked wearing a bigger grin than normal.

"He and I are bounded by a contract." Ignoring him, Undertaker took on a different approach.

"Are you perhaps…in LOVE with him? Uhehehheh.

"Demons…do not feel love the same way humans do."

"So you admit you still have some…shall we say strong feelings for him?" Sebastian stayed quiet.

"Uheheheheh hahahahHaHAHAH! My. My. Never did I expect that such a…being could actually feel. Uhehehheh." Undertaker leant limbless over the side of the coffin shaking from laughter.

"Now if you would excuse me. I have business to attend to." Sebastian interrupted and headed out towards the streets.

"Don't worry. He's alive." Undertaker called out making Sebastian stop to glance at the dark figure. "I'm sure everything will turn out better than any of you expect." That was all he gotten after that visit.


That had happened yesterday, it had been almost a day since Ciel went missing; Sebastian still had no clue to his whereabouts. It had been a long night as he spent the night searching and avoiding a certain clingy shinigami who seemed to be in a more annoying mood than normal. He hadn't return to the manor since last night and wonders whether he should head back just to check on whether Ciel had return. It was odd that he wasn't called upon by his 'master'. Perhaps he really wasn't in any danger? Should he just let him be and wait?

'There must be something I'm missing. How is it that I cannot find him anywhere?' Sebastian thought taking out the vial once again, holding it up into the light as he continued to walk past the row of houses. If only he had been paying attention, he may have notice something familiar in one of the window that he had just past. He decided to head back to the manor before deciding what to do next not before he was noticed by a pair of blue eyes.


Sebastian is a little OOC again ^^"…And I think….I need to watch the episodes with Aberline and Undertaker again….Especially Undertaker. xD

Anyway. R&R

Also Review if you would like any other characters to be in it? (Although depending on whether I can think of anything to write they MAY only appear for a minute. =P
