Chapter 9

I'm so pleased that no one saw this coming! XD I do love to shock my readers! Even toonfangrl, who's read many of my fanfics, didn't see it coming. Mwahaha!

I don't own Black Butler.

Sebastian was, to say the least, shocked.

"My daughter?" he repeated. Iva nodded with a smile.

"Yep. Don't you know? Demons have a special power to see the spirit of their future child... Well, once they've met their... Let's say soulmate" she said, her eyes drifting to Ciel.

"Since Ciel's a human, though, he can only see me in his dreams" she added. Sebastian looked down at Ciel, blushing a bit, before looking back to Iva.

"Well, do you happen to know how Ciel became female?" he asked suspiciously. Iva nodded.

"Of course. I changed him. I wasn't sure if you loved him yet"

"Well, I do, so can you change him back?" Sebastian asked impatiently. Ciel shifted slightly, snuggling closer to the butler. Iva nodded, smiling slightly.

She pressed a palm to Ciel's forehead, not that he could feel it, and chanted something under her breath. Soon, Ciel's hair began to get shorter, back to its original length, his hands became more masculine, and Sebastian could feel the proof of his gender pressing against his leg.

"Thank you" Sebastian sighed. Iva smiled sweetly.

"You're welcome. Anything to help my future parents"


Ciel awoke the next morning to see that Sebastian had not moved from under him. In fact, he'd fallen asleep. Ciel smiled at Sebastian's sleeping face, reaching over to stroke his cheek...

When he saw how much more masculine they'd become.

Nervously, he reached up and touched his hair, and realized how much shorter it was.

"Sebastian" he spoke, tears coming to his eyes when he heard his normal, deep, male voice.

He hasn't even fallen for me yet! Sebastian... He won't love me now...

"My lord?" Sebastian spoke, not seeming shocked at Ciel's transformation back into his male body. He did, however, seem surprised when he saw Ciel crying.

"My lord, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" he asked, reaching up a hand to brush away his tears. Ciel unconsciously leaned into his touch, making the demonic butler smile a bit.

"I-I'm male" Ciel choked out, only confusing Sebastian further.

"Yes? Is that not good?"

"No!" Ciel screamed, causing Sebastian to jump slightly. Ciel sobbed, burying his face into his hands.

"You were supposed... You were supposed to fall in love with me! Before I changed back! Now... Now you'll never..." Ciel cut himself off with a sob.

Sebastian stared at Ciel in shock, before chuckling. He lifted Ciel's face up to look at him, and the young master gasped softly when he saw Sebastian's tender, loving gaze.

"I fell in love with you long before you were even female..." Sebastian whispered, leaning closer. Just before their lips touched, he uttered the one thing that made Ciel quiver in pure excitement, love and happiness.

"Ciel..."

I think an epilogue will be coming next, and then I'll be done. ;) You've been such great readers!
