God i ma sooo sorry everyone, i cant believe this has taken me so long! well once i got int writing this chapter i really enjoyed it so i hope its good! enjoy a massively late chapter everyone!

The pain emanated from him like a disease in this horrid town. It spread throughout him; there was not one part that did not hurt with each step he took down the dark and dingy alley ways. The clouds covered the sky, blocking out all the stars and the peaceful watch of the moon, nothing could break its impenetrable barrier and even Sebastian had trouble finding where he was going as he stumbled towards the mansion, in his weakened state his eyes could no longer make out all the pin sharp details they normally could and it was all he could do to make out the vague outlines of the walls as he carefully, painfully slowly made his way back to his master and to continue his duty.

His duty? Wasn't that why he had originally gone to the undertakers? He was ordered? Ordered to do what? His mind could not compute it, he could make no sense of anything and yet he knew he had to before he could face his master, he only hoped he had in deed gleaned the information he needed during his excruciating time in the undertaker's lair.

He trudged slowly back to the mansion walking at a pace that even humans would call slow. He was vaguely aware of the limp as he walked but he couldn't have cared less he still had time before he arrived back to walk and wallow in his pain, he did not feel sorry for himself, merely annoyed, annoyed at how he had allowed the whole situation to spiral so badly out of control and annoyed that he had not just taken the simple option when he knew he was in a temperamental state and he shouldn't have risked losing as he did. He shouldn't have done anything that he actually did. But it was in the past now and there was nothing he could do about it for even a demon could not change the past!

He arrive back far too soon for his own liking but he was here now and he could feel the waves of impatience emanating from his master even from this distance. God what did Ciel want this time, why was he so mad, it can't possibly still be that "thing" from before. Could it? Slowly Sebastian straitened himself and brushed down his jacket, his finger caught in a rip and he looked down for the first time properly taking in his appearance, he looked dreadful. His previously pristine white shirt was un-tucked, ripped and bloodied while his tailcoat carried a long rip down the edge where a boot had caught on it and mud was crisping around its edges and in one spot on the side opposite the rip. His trousers he noticed were mainly ok apart from the blood stains and as he looked closer he noticed that they had splotches of white covering them and his flies were undone, he reached down and tried to pull them up but to no avail, undertaker had obviously broken the zip when he ripped them off the despicable man!

Sebastian considered going round the back of the house and climbing up to his window but quickly dismissed the idea when he arm reminded him of its condition as it suddenly spasmed causing untold pain to Sebastian. He knew there was no way he could get to his room through the house without someone noticing so he might as well just go straight to Ciel's study.

He mentally prepared himself and slowly opened the door. It swung open on silent hinges and for once he was grateful he kept the house in such perfect condition. Steeping into the entrance way Sebastian groaned as he noticed how muddy his shoes were, he had two options, he could keep them on, however it would make an awful mess, or of course he could remove them and enter his masters study without shoes an action that he was sure to these strange humans would be considered awfully rude and would result in him being punished something he defiantly did not want tonight of all nights!

Sebastian looked at his shoes, then at his coat and back to his shoes, in a moment he decided, he whipped of one shoe and deftly brushed the mud off it and onto his already ruined tail coat, it was covered in mud already after all so what harm will a little more mud do? After he was completely satisfied that he would not spread mud about the pristine house, he placed his shoe back onto his foot and repeated the process with his other one. As he looked over his now filthy coat he realised that maybe that hadn't been the best idea for he now looked as if he had been rolling in the mud rather than it simply being there. But no matter it was better than the other options after all.

It was dark, it must have been very early morning, maybe 2 am, if so then why on earth was the young lord still up and moving about, what had those idiotic servants been up to? Surly they couldn't have been neglecting their duties to this extent? Yes. Yes they could have. God, Sebastian thought he had no idea how he could have not anticipated this!

Suddenly forgetting everything Sebastian ran up the stairs two at a time worried that the stupid servants he had hired may have managed to void his contract with his master, a fact he kept very carefully hidden should Ciel find out and initiate the process of voiding it. He burst into his master's room and stood stock still, frozen to the spot as he beheld the sight before him.

Bard stood in front of a flustered Ciel, mouth latched firmly on his mouth and his hand up the boy's shirt rubbing his obvious covered erection against Ciel. Sebastian could not believe what he was seeing in front of him, he had known for a long time that Bard was indeed gay…but this, this was too far. Sebastian crossed the room in a flash and picked bard up with one strong arm flinging him across the room. Bard crashed against the wall with an almighty crash. Luckily Sebastian had not intended to kill him and the servant collapsed limply in a heap on the floor unconscious. The anger inside Sebastian boiled to the brink of overflow and Ciel backed away as he saw his butlers eyes flash crimson and his hair grow, layering as it did so his eyes were nearly covered with the fringe which only helped accentuate his glowing eyes. The back grew to just above his shoulders into waves very unlike his usual hair. Ciel watched as Sebastian ripped off his gloves with teeth that were also sharper than normal. On the back off his hand he revealed the contract tattoo that glowed purple like the clouds before a thunderstorm.

Ciel cowered on the far corner of the bed trying to get as far away from his butler as he could as he turned into what he could only resume was his true demon form. The man before him growled and leapt towards the bed jumping gracefully upon Ciel pinning him to the bed. He ripped of the eye patch that covered the contract seal and placed his hand upon the now exposed eye. The pressure was enough to prevent Ciel from closing his eye and he soon felt water well up in it trying to stop it from drying out, it hurt.

Suddenly the pain dissipated and Ciel opened his other eye to stare into those of his demon butlers, The eyes glowed scarily and Ciel could see his chest rising quickly as he panted and sweat rolled of his forehead and he furrowed his brow as the effort of what he was trying to do took its toll and the exertions from earlier in the day started to wax his strength. Out of the corner of his eye Ciel thought he saw back feathered wings begin to protrude from the back off Sebastian and unfold.

Ciel started into Sebastian's eyes as he watched the man do whatever exceedingly taxing thing he was up to. As he stared up into Sebastian's tortured face something inside him switched and he suddenly felt huge empathy for the man before him. The man who had to endure so much in order to gain a single measly soul…his measly soul!

He reached his single free arm around the back of Sebastian's neck and smoothly pulled him towards himself. He slowly shut his free eye and gently pressed his lips to Sebastian's, he could taste the sweat as it dripped down his forehead dripping from the man's drenched hair. Ciel deepened the kiss and allowing his tough to slip nimbly through Sebastian's defences.

Sebastian's eyes widened as he tried to dislocate himself from his master's embrace, but Ciel only deepened the kiss further and Sebastian felt the connection he was trying so desperately to maintain slipping away, he felt his energy drop and his resolve did and he was swept further into the kiss. He felt his wing disappear back into him and his eyes dim as his demonic aura lessoned by the second. Little of his brain was still left enough un-intoxicated to try and get out of the situation and he soon fund that the symbol he bore upon his hand was returning to its original inky black, he felt Ciel shut his contract eye under his hand and knew he had lost. Gone.

Sebastian finally fully gave up and kissed Ciel back. He felt his arm shudder under the strain, the place where his own blade had hit him burned red hot. A tremor ran through him and he collapsed upon Ciel the energy he had exerted over the past days finally depleted to nothing as he lay unconscious and bleeding, his cuts having reopened.

Ciel looked down as the man he was kissing collapsed. He felt something warm and wet start to flow onto him; he rolled Sebastian of himself to see the extreme extent of the wounds he had endured. Ciel's eyes widened and he yelled for May-Rinn as he tried to move Sebastian into a more comfortable position on the bed. As he did he picked up the man's right hand to move it from the beds edge and place it by his side. He froze. The symbol. The Contract Symbol. Slowly it was fading into pure, pristine skin.
