Me: heh heh, sorry for the mixed up chapters again, my computer's just having a bad day *strokes screen* aren't you my wittle baby...

Ciel: *sweat drop* what in gods name are you doing?

Me: I'm hoping that if I act nicer to this instead of abusing it verbally and mentally, maybe it will be nicer to me.

Ciel: ...

Me: Well I'm running out of options here! whenever someone insults it, then it dies!

Ciel: but it's just a piece of lifeless junk isn't it...?

Me: YOU FOOL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOOOOOOOOO!

*all watch as computer explodes*

(several nerve racking hours later)

Me: ...and that's why the chapters got all messed up!

Ciel: *sweat drop* anyway... girl, have you seen Sebastian anywhere?

Me: *shrugs* Idk, just call him using your awesome purple eye thingy!

(and I'll just pretend you didn't just refer to me as "girl")

Ciel: ha! I refuse to let him think that I rely on him for everything. I just wanted to know if you had seen him around...

Me: No, I haven't, damn it all! I was going to make him say the disclaimer thingy...

Ciel: Ahhhhhhh... I see, now it all makes sense...

Me: Hey! don't blame this one on me! He probably's just sick of tending to your every whim. That poor guy needs a day off anyway...

Ciel: ...

Me: What?

Ciel: you do know he's a daemon right?

Me: ...so? daemon are people too!

Ciel: ... *face palm*

Me: ...

Ciel: Sometimes I really am concerned for your sanity, or rather the lack of...

Me: Hey! You meanie! I'm hurt! now you have to do the disclaimer thingy in compensation!

Ciel: ...

Me: Pretty please?

Ciel: *sigh* Will you shut up then?

Me: *nods enthusiastically* Yah huh!

Ciel: Very well then... *ahem* This is a 'fanfic' so this person doesn't own any of the original characters, plot ect. of black butler/kuroshitsuji ect. blah blah blah am I done now?

Me: Yup! Your free to go off and do your thing, I think we've tested the reader's patience long enough!

Ciel: Ha! "We"? In case you haven't noticed, everybody loves me! Your the annoying one that they all tolerate because they all are just vaguely curious to see what your mediocre writing will go next. They are fascinated by your truly lazy and uncreative mind. It is a new thing for these people.

Me: Alright then... I'll just go cry in the corner over there for the rest of my life...

(Sebastian, if you can hear me, COME BACK! Ciel is reallymean now without you...)

and on that heart breaking note,

Enjoy the next chapter!

For the first time back, I really looked around me. Obviously I was back in Ciel and Sebastian's time or world or dimension or whatever. a second thing that was blatantly obvious was that this Claude guy needed help and fast. one would think that a young girl would probably see this as her chance to run away 'cause the guy did kinda kidnape me and all. Also, anyone else probable wouldn't bother trying to save someone who wasn't breathing and who had no pulse. I can't for the life of me really explain the reasoning behind it, it could be the fever, but to be honest, I've dealt with worse then this and it never seemed to impair my judgment any other time. No, it can't be that, I guess maybe it was just was that I felt guilty. Claude didn't have his weird seizure thingy until I looked him straight in the eye. Although in my defense, the ridiculous carriage road chase could've helped too. But regardless, this guy was strong enough to wound Sebastian (oh right! forgot about that... remind me why i'm helping him again? oh yeah... stupid guilt...) anyway, the point being, if this guy could hurt Sebastian, then maybe he would be as strong as Sebastian? Sebastian survived through worse, so maybe this guy will too. I looked at the mean looking one eyed dirty cat that was glaring at me as i tried to think of what to do.

I mentally made a list of what I could do to save him.

I could leave this guy to search for someone to help (but that would mean abandoning him, and this area didn't look that nice... we we're in a dark dingy alley for heaven's sake!)

I could look around for a telephone and call Ciel's manor. (then I thought to myself, back to the time when i mentioned Claude's name to Sebastian. I was still terrified of that look of that overwhelming hatred.)

I could try to knock on one of the nearby buildings to ask for help. (I was about to knock on a grimy door when the one-eyed cat hissed in a way that reminded me morbidly of laughter. I took that as a sign that it was probably a horrible and possibly fatal idea.)

I...could...? Carry him to safety? Never mind...bad idea...

Hell if I know what to do, I had just starting looking around for a way to make a stretcher or a makeshift sling from some of the rubble of the shattered carriage when I heard a light voice from behind me say in a heavy Indian accent,

"Hello lovely lady! do you or your friend need any help?"

I spun around to see two well dressed indian men. one was a (naturally?) purple headed teenager dressed in robes fit for a king. the other one was a tall white headed man wearing, simple, but high quality, traditional clothes and a turban. He stood silently next to the bubbly youth and looked at Claude with both suspicion and worry. The purple haired one gave me he hand, and I took it after only a moments hesitation. He look hurt at this, I felt bad. Something about his carefree smile and willingness to help touched my heart and brought a smile to my own face. I said

"Yes, I really could use a hand. Our carriage got out of control and crashed, my friend seems to be hurt."

The quiet man politely interrupted and said "My Prince, I do not like the look of this man. Is he not that butler from the Trancy estate?"

The 'prince' (...apparently?) looked crestfallen about this and I hated the man for taking the smile away from his face. The prince finished helping me up and looked wistfully into my eyes, then he looked at the now slightly twitching form of Claude, his eyes widened in slight surprise a bit a fear, his friend narrowed in contempt. Seriously? WTFH? what did this guy do to make so many enemies? he's not that much different then Sebastian after all, and everybody loves him! I shuddered when the memory of Sebastian's furious eyes gleaming demoniacally... the prince looked away bashfully and said with a sorry, but determined voice

"I'm sorry lovely lady, but I can not find it in me to help this man. whatever happened to him, he deserved it times ten..."

I looked up into his large golden eyes and felt no pity for him, would someone explain why I should hate this man! ("um duh! the guy kidnaped you, threatened your life and even strangers on the street hate his guts enough to not help him while he is DIEING! maybe you should be worried dummy!" shut up stupid inner voice of reason! nobody likes you!)

I clutched my fists in cold anger, i shoved his (comforting...?) hand away from me and said (without to much angry trembling hopefully)

"fine. I should have known better, it's my fault that this man is probably dead already. I was stupid to think that someone off the streets would help a little girl and a dyeing man. I guess my only choice will be to call Ciel and just have to suffer through Sebastian's wrath..."

"Wait!" The prince said (his friend also perked up at the name "Sebastian" too) "you know my little english brother Ciel and his amazing Butler?"

"I just met Ciel, but I've known Sebastian for years."

"Agni! This girl is a friend! We will help her anyway we can! Despite her poor company..."

Agninodded and walked passed me to effortlessly picked up Claude. the image was kinda funny actually, you know, if there wasn't a possible corpse involved. The prince said, back to his cheery self,

"My name is Prince Soma Asman Kadar, do you know where the nearest hospital is?"

"No, I am foreign to this area."

"So are we, hem... do you have any other friends you live in the city then?"

I thought back, the only one I really knew was Sebastian, but there might be someone from the ball who could help. the Viscount lives too far away, and i think Grell might still be with Ciel. Then I remembered the funny man I danced with the night of the ball. He gave me his card. I dived into the shattered carriage to see if i had brought my backpack with me or not. I felt the lumpy denim and dug through a half a foot of splintered wood to unearth it. I looked in my wallet in the outside pocket and saw the card. I took it out triumphantly and showed the name and address to Prince Soma. He looked at it, and shook his head sadly,

"Sorry, I don't recognize it. Do you where this place is, Agni?"

I handed it to Agni,

(who was still holding Claude like a baby or a bride... YIKES! Scary mental images! go away! )

He slung Claude over his shoulder effortlessly and read the strange business card thoughtfully, while I tried to shake the images of Claude wearing a diaper or wedding dress. He gave it back to me and said

"I haven't had the pleasure of visiting that establishment yet, but I do recognize the name of the street. We can depart immediately if you wish"

I nodded absently while putting the card back in my backpack and began to sling it over my shoulder, but Prince Soma gently stopped me and said "with your permission" and swung the bag on his own back. As the three of us (four counting the unconscious Claude, whose head was bobbing slightly in time with Agni's footsteps, his dark eyes open and blank) walked out of the alley and down the street toward the orange setting sun, Soma whistled merrily, our arms linked. The two of us were laughing and singing the whole way to the Undertaker's. The golden sun glistened on the prince magnificently, he seemed to radiate a wondrous light of his own. I was happy to find a new friend, and it also made me happy to feel that he was enjoying my company as well. I smiled as we walked down the shining golden street with my shining golden Prince.

000000(Ciel)0000000

"Finny, come with me, you will carry Sebastian and accompany me to the nearest hospital. My Aunt's one will do fine." I looked over to the other two trembling servants and said

"Merin and Bard, clean up the mess."

Bard smiled weakly, giving me a thumbs up and said "Yes, young master" in a accent like Sebastian. Merin looked up, sniffled, and said "what kind of Phantom servants would we be..."

I left before she could finish, I know they were only trying to help, but hearing this was only twisting the knife and pouring salt on the wound.

I walked out the door, closely followed by a silently crying Finny who was carrying Sebastian in his arms like he had seen him carry me so many times. I wasn't going to let my feelings show. I refuse to cry. This is Sebastian here, he'll be fine. But I wouldn't admit it to myself, above anyone, that something deep inside me was being twisted painfully when I saw how small and helpless Sebastian looked in the child gardener's arms. No matter what happened to me, Sebastian was the only constant one. Yeah, evil, cruel, sadistic, and lecherous most of the time, but he was always there, he could never leave me, could never lie, had to protect me with his own life, even though I knew that it was only for selfish purposes and I understand what I had given up, but it was still comforting to have someone like that around in a odd way. I looked at the carriage waiting for us, and I couldn't help but wince slightly as the normally energetic gardener accidentally hit Sebastian's head on the side of the doorway of the carriage. He set Sebastian rather roughly down on the velvet seats, and 'helped'/ tossed me inside after him, then leaped into the coachman's seat, and whipped the horses into a gallop from a standstill. I sadly watched at Sebastian's motionless form and thought how worked up Finny must be to use an actual whip on the horses. He can't stand any living being getting hurt, but I was thankful to him for understanding how desperate the situation was. The carriage went over a particularly large bump, and I saw Sebastian's limp form slip further down the seat into what must've been an awkward and painful position. I stood up in the swaying carriage and stumbled over to Sebastian. With a little effort, I was able to sit him up comfortably and have him lean his head on the wall of the carriage. I was about to get up and walk back over to my side, when we went over another larger bump and Sebastian leaned over on me. Pinning me down. I blushed as his head slid from the top of mine to my neck, his soft lips hanging slightly open and touching the bare skin of my neck. 'damn you!' I thought, 'even when your on the brink of death and not even conscious you still manage to enjoy making me squirm'. But I didn't move him. I just looked out of the window, trying to keep the blush that was warming my face and trying to ignore how comfortable I was in this otherwise somewhat awkward position.

000000(Bard)000000

Merin and I had been frozen for a minute or so after the young master left. Tanaka had brought a mop, bucket of water and the other cleaning materials when we weren't looking, for once he wasn't laughing. Merin took the mop and dumped it in the water and head it over the large bloodstain on the floor, and froze for several seconds, then broke down completely, sobbing hysterically. Tanaka comforted her as best as he could while I took the mop from her hand and began the wipe up my coworker's blood. watching as the soapy water in the old bucket slowly began to turn red as I continued to dipped the bloody mop in the water. the entire manor was deathly silent, except for the stifled tears and hiccups from merin.

00000(Alois)00000

Claude and he still hadn't come, I called for a taxi to take me to London. My thoughts were firmly fixed on the girl. Somehow it was all her fault. It had to be. I would kill her personally if Claude is hurt. And I had a good feeling where she would be. The taxi pulled up the drive. I had grinned to the coachmen and said

"take me to the Phamtomhive manor!"

000000(Finny)000000

'Poor Sebastian! poor Ciel! Poor little horsies!' how could this have happened?' I thought to myself, while I drove down the streets of London. I couldn't help but feel like I should feel mad at Sebastian. It's his job to keep stuff like this from happening, right? but know that that I thought about it, this is the first time I hadn't seen Sebastian awake. he always was up before us, he always stayed up after. It made me feel kinda bad that we cause him so much trouble all the time. When Sebastian comes back from the hospital, we'll have to be extra good so that...'

"Finny!" I heard Ciel's voice say from behind me. "Stop the carriage! You just passed the hospital!"

"Right'o sir!" I stopped the horses, the whinnied in complaint and I hopped down to open the door for the master and Sebastian. I was surprised to find that sebastian was practically cuddling with Ciel. he looked at me and blushed, then ordered roughly for m to 'get him off'. I picked up Sebastian and helped Ciel out of the carriage. He started walking toward the hospital, ( I kinda didn't stop the carriage until we had driven about half a block past it... whoops!) he motioned for me to follow him and I repositioned Sebastian on my shoulders and started after him. After a few steps I felt something hard hit me in the head. I felt Sebastian's weight being lifted from my shoulders as I fell to the cold ground. The pain was Blinding and I felt myself blackout. I struggled to stay conscious and warn Ciel, but the only thing that came out was a strangled

"y-young...l-l-lor..." and i felt the blackness take me.

000000(Ciel)00000

I had entered the hospital, and asked the blonde woman sitting at the desk "

My butler has been injured, may you tell my where my Aunt is? Madame Red?"

She smiled and said "Of course I know Angelia! Your lucky to have such a nice and talented aunt. Are you Ciel then? She has told me so much about you! You look just like..."

"Excuse me, but if you would fetch her please, again, my butler has been hurt and he needs immediate attention."

I said coldly, normally I would be nicer, but this woman was wasting time that neither Sebastian or I had. She nodded and ran off, leaving me alone for only minute. My aunt hugged me as soon as she entered the room and gushed out

"Oh my Ciel! what's wrong? Where are you hurt? come, i must help you immed..."

I slapped her hand away and said "I'm fine, it's my butler, he needs some medical attention and you know as well as I that not much could hurt him. You can understand my worry."

I thought I might have seen a quick excited gleam in her eyes at the thought of 'examining' Sebastian. He seemed to have that effect on most people, and my aunt was no exception. But I was thankful when I saw that she quickly reverted to her 'no nonsense, there's someone hurt' mode. She then said

"I see, where is the patient now?"

"I brought one of my servants to carry him in, he should have gotten here by now, he was following me moments ago..."

Something is wrong, and Madame Red knew it too. We both ran outside without a word. The carriage was gone. I looked around for my two servants. I found Finny near to where the carriage was parked before. He was knocked out and the back of his head was bleeding heavily. madame Red sat down beside him and gave him a drink from her brandy flask (for the patents) Finny coughed several times and i somewhat roughly shoved my aunt aside and demanded

"where is Sebastian? tell me what happened!"

finny's words were a bit slurred and he cried,

"s-s-sebast...ian-isssssssgooooooooone" he wailed and my Aunt said,

"Go back Ciel and get one of the nurses to come and bring a stretcher for the boy. He has a concussion. We'll find Sebastian later"

I ran back into the hospital and it took several moments for what Finny said to sink in.

Sebastian was gone.

Now that the sun had fully set, I was starting to get pretty cold. We had been walking for about thirty minutes or so and we hadn't gotten to Undertaker's yet. I was feeling very tired with trying to keep up with Agni's and Soma's fast pace. Soma and I were walking arm in arm, and I hadn't realized how much Soma had been slowing down for me until I looked ahead to see that Agni was far ahead of us, and he was carrying another full grown man! Is this place just crawling with super humans or something? I could not walk another step. I had not eaten yet today (...again, heh heh, man I have got to start remembering to do that!) and also I don't remember the last time I had slept for more then two hours at a time... Soma looked at me in worry and said

"Maybe we should rest a bit."

"No! I mean... Thank you for offering, but it's more important that we get Claude..." He caught me as I almost fell for the fifth time within 10 minutes. the kind prince smiled and said,

"Do not worry! Agni can go ahead of us and we'll catch up with him later. we can rest if you want."

I smiled and nodded in relief. Soma called out his orders to Agni. From what i could see he didn't look too happy with the idea of leaving his Prince behind with a strange girl all alone, but he nodded and continued on. Soma lead me to the curb of the sidewalk and we both sat down. I leaned up against him and he comfortingly wrapped his arms around me. We sat in peaceful silence for a minute or two. Until I heard that damn haunting song, except this time it wasn't inside my head, I could hear it coming from right behind me, and Soma had heard it too. A man had approached us from the shadows, the same man from my dream. he had an odd music box looking instrument slung around his neck that he was cranking. It eerily played the tune of London bridges. he was wearing the same carnival suit and hat, his hair was spiky and orange and his purple eyes were blank. i heard his voice in my head say

"so then i thought to myself, what is the use of waiting? I think to myself how pleased my new master will be to see you"

He walked toward us in a jerky robot fashion and my Prince stood up, and glared at the man, he hadn't heard the voice in my head, but he still knew that this man obvious;y wasn't here for a good reason. the creepy man tilted his head in an unnatural way and said out loud,

"My you too are a pretty one, pity i have no need for dolls. though i think to myself, maybe there is still a use for you..." the music box changed to a slightly higher pitch, Soma winced, then stiffened, he then began to walk away from me, his limbs moving against his will, like some ghostly puppeteer was controlling him he 'yiped' in fear and called for Agni, only to remember he was no longer there.

Then the Damned song came into my head

"Will you risk the hell and fire?

Hell and fire?

Hell and fire?

Will you run away for good?

my fair lady."

My Prince then turned away from the creepy man to look at me, except his smiling golden eyes were now blank and empty. Soma stumbled toward me and tried to say something, but the words were strangled and unintelligible. He fell to the ground at my feet and was still.

0000000000000

Sebastian woke up in a strange room. He was chained down to something, but it was too dark to say exactly what it was. Even his cat-like eyes failed to see anything but vague forms in the stiffing darkness. He waited patiently for something to happen, when he saw a small form in the corner rise up weakly and stumble toward him. His heart rose as he recognized Kitten. She found a candle and lit it and she walked to Sebastian's side. She laid down beside him and he sighed in content as they sat together in silence. After several minutes however, Kitten started to laugh horridly and mockingly and clung to Sebastian bound arm. He flinched slightly in pain at her touch. she said in a raspy and seductive voice

"Your new human form is quite handsome, your new name Sebastian is fitting as well. But you know I'll always think of you as my precious Philip."

"ah. Pardon my, but since your obviously not Kitten, would you do me the pleasure of not having your horrid eyes looking out of her head, it's very disconcerting."

"whatever you want, my dearest Phillip."

'Kitten' turned into astrange lady. Her form contorted and stretched with my horrible cracks and "squishy" sounds. when she was done, Sebastian looked at the lady who was about his height now, her hair was a blue black curtain. She had vicious looking fangs and her very attractive body was frigid with all dangerous energy pouring from her electric blue eyes, crazed with passion and lust. Sebastian smiled weakly,

"Ah, it appears you have survived after all this time Sylvia."

"No thanks to you, daemon, because of you, I no longer have a soul, you didn't even have the decency to consume it! now because of you, i am denied from Heaven, have been regretted from hell, and even daemons won't eat what's left of me."

"I fulfilled our contract, but your soul is disgusting and corrupt, it's repulsive scent is overpowering."

"You know I still love you right? i won't mind making another contract with you. i'll promise you what you want."

"The only thing of value you humans possess is a soul, I have no desire for yours, so you have nothing to offer me."

Sebastian had been emotionless through out this entire time. Sylvia came closer to him, her yellow fangs less then and inch from his face. Her hot musty breath formed droplets on Sebastian's cheek. it took every inch of willpower for him not to betray his disgust. She whispered in his ear

"oh really, I have you don't I? You must be wondering how I was able to capture you, me a soulless shell of a human, have you, an all powerful daemon?"

"to be honest, I am more curious to know how you can live without a soul."

she winked at him, her sickly pale skin framed her flickering eyes in the candlelight and she said

"It's a trade secret."

she laughed manically again, but was annoyed that Sebastian showed no emotion whatsoever at her power. She pouted sappily an said in a baby voice

"I could give you a wittle hint if you want..."

She then grinned and skipped toward to shelf up against the shadowed wall and took down a jar. Then walked over to Sebastian she sloshed the liquid contents of the jar playfully and showed it to the daemon. she asked him

"Do you recognize this here?" she laughed when Sebastian closed his dark eyes in defeat after reading the label. She took off the lid of the jar and forcefully opened the daemon's mouth and pored a singe drop down his throat. His eyes rolled back in his head after flashing pink. His back arched against his bounds and and the room rang with the echoes of his inhuman screams of agony and sadistic laughter.

Ciel: woooooow this is getting kinda dark...

Me: Yup! I'm used to writing scary and horror stuff so it's hard for me to write happy endings, plus cliff hangers are sooooooo much fun to write!

*avoids glares of angry readers*
