After school was over, the 4 kids all gathered at the front yard.
"Guys, I gotta go. My mom said I need to get home immediately 'cause she said we're going to a party." Sam shivered as she pictured her mother holding up a bright colored dress for her to wear.
"Me too 'cause its Meatloaf Night!" Tucker cheered, pumping his fist in the air with a grin.
"Well, I guess we'll see you tomorrow then." Said Cez with a smile on his face. "It was really nice to meet you all."
"You bet!" Added Ceza as she shared a high-five with Sam. "See ya later, you guys!" She waved good-bye as the goth dragged her twin by the shoulder. They disappeared within the crowds as Danny and his friends shared one last goodbye before parting their own ways.
Danny sighed as he clutched his backpack tighter and gazed up at the setting sun. Suddenly, a light blue puff of smoke escaped his lips. The child grinned before running down towards an empty alleyway. Checking if he was alone, he quietly said out his catch phrase.
"I'm going ghost!"
His clothes and appearance transformed and his backpack disappeared after saying those 3 words. Grasping the thermos clipped on his belt, he flew up and went off to find the ghost. But unknown to him, 2 red eyes watched his every move within the shadows.
Danny, now as Phantom, searched the perimeter for any signs of evil fiends. He humphed and flew a bit lower and glided past the streets. He yelped as he was shot on the chest and landed on the grassy area of the park. He glared up at the white and green snake with dark green bat wings and some weird tattoos on it's back. It's bright crimson eyes glowing with rage and hissed at the seemingly albino-but not really- child.
"Eat ecto, ya slithering snake!" He yelled out, firing a ray of green ecto-energy. The snake dodge and the blast hit a tree, the crowd of civillians running away, knowing it was dangerous to stay and watch the fight. The snake hissed out loudly and the black tattoos literally jumped out of it's skin and began to form black scorpions with the same red eyes. Danny groaned as they began to approach him.
"You gotta be kidding me."
The scorpions attack on Danny's sides while the snake attacked at the front. Danny flew back to avoid them, but was stopped when the snake used its long tail to trip Danny. The Halfa rolled to his side to avoid the twin scorpion's poisonous tail. The ghost snake opened its mouth and fired green fire at the ghostly hero while the scorpions fired green ecto-beams from their tail. Danny dodge the snake's attack, but he was hit by the scorpion's ray. He tumbled back and hit his head on a tree. The snake raised it's tail and repeatedly slammed it against Danny. The ghost child, not having any strength left, slowly and tiredly reached for the thermos. But then it was caught by the scorpions, their claws grasping the thermos, denting it sligthly.
The last thing he saw was 2 black blurs hitting the snake on the head.
"Is he gonna be okay? Ya think he's fully dead?"
"Don't be silly. He's just drained out from the fighting."
"You sure, Cyclops? He sure looks beat."
"Dear sister, all he needs is some rest and he'll be back on his feet in no time. Besides, I had read once that ghosts have healing abilities."
"Your brother's right, Ceza. Its best to let him rest. Why not the two of you go do something in the living room?"
"OFW."
"What?"
"She means 'Okay, Fine, Whatever'. Although, it also means 'Overseas Filipino Worker." (1)
Then, he heard footsteps, the door creaking open then closing, and then a sigh. He felt a hand softly running through his hair in a soft, calming manner. Then, he heard a familiar voice start talking.
"Oh Danny, you always get into trouble."
Having enough and wanting to learn where he is, he slowly cracked his eyes open. Blinking to remove the sleepiness, he gasped when he saw the boy he met at the park; Ciel. He had a small calm smile on his pail face.
"Are you alright?"
Danny gulped and slowly nodded. "Wh-where am I? What... happened?"
"First, you need to drink some water. Your throat must be sore." Ciel handed him a clear glass of water and the younger dark haired boy eagerly drank it all up. He gave a small 'thank you' and handed the glass back to it's owner.
"So... How was the ghost fight, Danny Phantom?" Danny stared at the smirking Ciel, baffled. He quickly looked at his hands and saw that instead of sligthly tan, it was the human pale. He began to sweat nervously, but Ciel put a reassuring hand on his shoulder to calm him.
"To answer your question, your in my room. The twins saw you unconscious after the ghost knocked you out. And as to why how I knew who you are, it is because we all have our secrets, Danny."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, have you researched the name 'Phantomhive' yet?"
Danny nodded, "Yeah but... the kid, he looked a lot like me and the other looked a lot like you."
"Go on."
"And they appeared in my dream... I don't understand. What does that have to do with me!?" Danny asked frantically.
Ciel sighed, "I'm also surprised. But the truth is... Danny, at London when Queen Victoria reigned the country, you were a Phantomhive."
"Rock paper scissors?"
"Don't you think that game is a bit overused?"
"I care, why?"
"...you're right. Fine."
"I'm gonna win this shit."
2 Seconds Later
"FUCK YOU, CEZ!"
The male twin laughed as his sister grumbled angrily. Then, he consumed the last cupcake their uncle made just before he went to work.
"Don't be a sore loser, dear sibling."
"Shut, le fuck up, ya dick-bitch."
"You curse a lot. Maybe that's a sign of you not accepting your lose."
"FFFFFF-!"
"So does that mean..."
"Yes, I too was a Phantomhive and yes, you were, and still are, my brother."
"But mom-"
"Do you know who your father is?"
"...no. Mom said she found me on the doorstep. But who-where-what... Where did I came from?"
"I do not know either. It's either you were reincarnated or something else..."
"Something like what?"
"That story will be save for another time. You should contact your mother and let her know you're alright and tell here that you'll be sleeping here for the night."
"Oka-wait, why would I be staying here?"
Ciel raised an eyebrow and tilted his head a bit. "Don't you want to know more about your past life?"
"...yes. Will you tell me?"
"Of course. Well you see, the Phantomhives work for the Queen as her Majesty's Watchdog. Meaning, we try and stop the Queen's worries. For example, a drug dealing group. Just one letter from her Majesty stating that the Phantomhive must deal with them, we have no choice but to do so. For the Queen and the country's sake. But even though the Queen was special, even she has dark secrets."
Danny tilted his head in curiosity. In which Ciel found adorable-and didn't want to admit it to himself. "What kind of dark secrets?"
"She was in league with an angel who... 'purified' our parents."
"What did you do?"
"The angel was bored of her and killed her. Soon, the angel was killed by a certain demon."
"Demon? What demon? Who?"
Ciel sighed, "Well, you see, a fire started in the mansion where we used to live. Killing you, mother, and father. Leaving me to get captured and sent to a cult for sacrifice. I had enough of calling for help from God or the angels. So instead, I made a pact with a demon. Him serving me and aid me to get my revenge on those who had killed my family in exchange... for my soul."
"Then where is he? Why are you still here? Did you get your revenge yet?"
"Yes. I did. The demon, he became my legal guardian. And how did I became a demon? Well, you see, a few months after the angel incident, I encountered another noble who made a contract with a demon. It seems that after we killed the angel, the demon stole my soul just before my demon consumed it. After finding my soul, the demon I contracted with gave me another chance to kill the noble. But then, when I was close to killing him, the other demon kidnapped me and brought me to the dead-noble's mansion. It seems that the noble's soul is still intact, making the other demon manipulate it to it's every whim. So he combined his soul with mine. Then, another demoness, made a contract with the noble. The noble ordered her to turn me into a demon. Making it impossible for the two demons to take my soul. And that is why I'm still here, trying to find my reincarnated brother."
"That's me, huh?"
Ciel nodded and smiled sadly. "Yes."
"...you know..." Danny smiled shyly. "I always wanted an older brother."
"Ciel, twins, I'm home," Sebastian called out. He set his coat on the coat rack, as usual, and approached the twins who were lazily propped on the couch watching a movie. He raised an eyebrow when Ciel was nowhere to be seen.
"Ceza, Cez, where is Ciel?"
"Room." They replied in unison.
"By the way," Ceza added.
"There's a visitor in his room," finished Cez.
"A visitor?" Sebastian questioned. But the twins paid no mind since they were in trance by the movie. A movie about a gigantic monsters. It seems they call it 'Godzilla'. (2) So, he decided to go there and find out for himself.
Once reaching his destination, he softly knocked on the door. "Ciel?" When he received no answer, he carefully opened the door to reveal a heart-warming sight that warmed his black heart.
His student, his fledgling, his 'son', was sleeping on the bed. Sleeping on top of him was his long lost little brother. The eye-patch boy having an arm wrapped protectively over the small doppelganger. He smiled a little and closed the door.
"Ah, what an exciting move this has been."
I lied... Ah well! Only reached 1,790 words. But this chapter actually excited me up!
1) OFW... Bananasplit is a funny late-night show :3
2) Godzilla... Awzumazing.
Sebby is so much more amazing when he has a parental bond with Ciel~
Q&A Time
Ninuhuju
Cez- I agree with you... One things for sure though. Sam+Ceza+Lizzy= DISASTER.
kittyrsocute
Danny- Yeah! Glomps are scary! I'm just glad I can pass through them with my powers! That and its a great way to prank Tucker. Do you have any idea on how I can prank him?
Ninuhuju
Ceza- You said it! Humans should perish! DIE DIE DIE! Also, I heard the author sometimes hates everyone around her and wants to kill them. But she doesn't show it. She's usually a hyperactive, childish lunatic on the outside. But inside... *grins*
niyuu
Alois- 'Course she's still continuing! This is so awesome I just want to hug Ciel! She just said she needed a rest or two, that's all! :3
Well, I've been wanting to play DC Universe Online. But the loading takes SO LONG! So yeah...
