Chapter 11
A.H.
Hm…what does that stand for? Ciel wondered, reading the half-torn up piece of paper he had just found on Grell's table. He was not sure if it had anything to do with him, maybe it was just a random business sheet that the shinigami had accidentally left behind. Right now he would have just put it down and head back to his room.
But 'claiming the boy's soul' was too much of a random thing that normal people would ever find on a working desk.
What did the writer mean when he, or she said 'and all will end'? As he recalled, Grell had also told him about something that was ending. Could it be that he was talking about this? Did he mean when Sebastian claims Ciel's soul, both of them would die? How did he know this, and why would he care?
Ciel jumped when he heard voices coming from the other side of the door. "Ah, Sebby~ C'mere, I'll show you my room, and you'd have no idea how passionate I am to you! Come come~"
Ciel stood grounded to the floor. What to do? He can't walk out by the same door, because Grell and Sebastian were on the other side. He could never possibly jump down from the window, either. Ciel looked around and scanned the room, finding a place to hide. He spotted the cupboard, quickly dashed to it, and tucked inside, closing the door as tightly as possible.
"Ta-da~ Surprised?" Grell came in just as Ciel settled himself inside.
"Let go, Sutcliff. I have to find my Master. Don't make me use force." Came Sebastian's voice.
"Oh come on! He's probably back in his room sleeping already. Just hold on a minute, I'll show you something really cool. It's my outfit that I borrowed from Ronnie's friend." Ciel heard footsteps coming towards his direction. He panicked, and held his breath. What would it be like if he's found out inside Grell's cupboard? He's so doomed. The handle began to budge, and it was being pulled out…
"There you are! Don't try to run away this time you troublemaker." Came Ronald's voice. Ciel was saved in a fraction of a second. He heard Grell being pulled away.
"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry…Ouch! I can walk on my own thank you very much. Geez, is it necessary to pull my newly-made hair like that?!" Grell mumbled and his voice became smaller and smaller, until they were gone, and Sebastian was left alone (with Ciel) inside Grell's room.
Ciel peeked outside, and saw the butler walking out of the room.
"Pssp! Oi, Sebastian!" He beckoned him over. Sebastian turned around, and spotted Ciel hiding in the cupboard. Ciel saw him smirked, and walked across the room. Sebastian opened the double-doors of the cupboard and raised his eyebrow.
"My my, what is our little Master doing in here? I did not expect you to be that curious, stalking me here…" He mocked.
Ciel flushed. "Shut up, I wasn't stalking you! I just don't want Grell to find me inside his room?!" He denied.
"Ooh, and what were you doing inside his room? You don't say that you're messing with other people's stuff? Tsk, tsk. How naughty you are. I must punish you." Sebastian grinned. He used both of his arms to lift Ciel up and hanged him onto his shoulder like a sack.
"Hey, put me down! What are you doing?" Ciel yelled, thumping onto Sebastian's back. "Let me down this instant! I tell you, this is an order, put me- agh!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was already lying on the bed inside his room.
"What a convenient to have his room across ours. Or else my back bones would have broken tragically." Sebastian teased Ciel, licking his lips sarcastically. Realizing the situation they were in, Ciel went scarlet. Sebastian bent down and suck his dick. Ciel winced and moaned, but he did not resist.
"Mmm…mmm…ahhh…Sebastian…" Sebastian sucked faster and faster, and pre-cum started to drip away. He unbuttoned Ciel's nightshirt and licked the nipples as well. "Hmm…no…that's…ah!" Sebastian used his hand to stroke the boy's foreskin, sucking and softly bit the tip of his nipple.
"Hm…you seem to be really sensitive here. Did you like it?" He continued licking around Ciel's chest, making the boy shivered in reaction. Ciel nodded silently, and clutched his mouth so that moans won't come out. Sebastian took his hand, and kissed him, using his tongue to explore Ciel's mouth. He let go, and saliva dripped along Ciel's chin.
"Mmm…you don't have to bite your lips like that. Just moan already, no one could hear us here." Sebastian said, taking his clothes off and threw them on the floor. Ciel sat up and took Sebastian's dick.
"Sebastian…mmm…" He started to suck the butler's foreskin. Sebastian looked surprised.
"Whoa…I never saw you being as aggressive like this, Master…mmm…" Sebastian also moaned in pleasure, he gripped onto Ciel's navy blue hair. When he had become hardened, he pinned Ciel back into bed and kissed the boy.
"You are so good at this, young Master. Look at how much erotic you are, I won't stop this time." Sebastian smirked, he whispered into Ciel's ear. He bent down to suck his dick again, making Ciel moaned louder with breaks of gasping.
"Ahnnn…nnn…Sebas…I'm…I'm coming…ahhh!" He gripped tightly onto the mattress. Sebastian grinned, and used his hands to wrap around Ciel's dick.
"Oh no…you won't. Unless you beg me to let you. I told you, I must punish you this time." Sebastian expressed a dangerous look.
"Ahnn…nnn…I can't hold it anymore…please, Sebastian! Mmm…! Do whatever you want with me… Ann…!" Ciel moaned, saliva dripped along his cheeks onto the mattress since he couldn't control himself anymore.
"That's it, young Master…moan louder for me…" Sebastian stroked Ciel's dick faster and faster, and finally hot sperm shot into the air. Ciel was left panting on the bed, sweating all over his body. Sebastian inhaled and exhaled excitedly, he began to put his fingers into Ciel's entrance.
"Ahhnn! No…it hurts! Nnnn… Se…nooo!" Ciel clenched his teeth. Sebastian's fingers swayed inside until Ciel's hole was exposed quite enough. The demon bit onto Ciel's nipples and use began to hold up his own dick.
"Nnnn…mmm…! Stop it Sebastian…ahnnn…mmph!" Ciel moaned. Sebastian was about to enter when they heard a loud explosion down below.
"Huh? What's happened?" Ciel tried to sit up, peering through the window. Sebastian gritted his teeth.
"Tsk. Why are we always interrupted?" He scowled, since they were in the middle of something.
Voices came shouting outside. "Intruders! Intruders!" The alarm went ringing, flashing red lights around. Ciel came hurrying to the window and looked down. It was dark so he could barely see anything. He saw a giant hole in the ground, destroying and crushing the ceramic tiles. Shinigami's were hushing around, carrying death scythes. He saw a dark figure climbing from the hole, it was dressed in black. It looked like…
A hand covered his eyes, and Ciel could see nothing. Sebastian whispered:
"This can't ruin my mood. Besides, it has nothing to do with us, my Lord. Shall we continue?" He smirked. Ciel turned around, looking more than scarlet. He was again, dragged towards the bed.
"No! Put me down, Sebastian, this is not the right t- nnn…!" Sebastian put his fingers into Ciel's mouth, making him suck them, and to be quiet.
"Hmmphh…! Nnn…!" Sebastian slowly put his member into Ciel's anal. He twitched.
"Ahnnn…Sebastian, it's too big! I…I can't…ahh!" Ciel yelled. Sebastian pushed harder and harder, as Ciel gripped onto the mattress, biting his lips. "Ahhhh…nnn…Sebastian…! I… I want more, ahnn!" He moaned. The urge of pleasure overcome his controlled mind. Sebastian thrust faster, rubbing onto Ciel's member and moaning with pleasure. He came inside Ciel.
Sebastian laid Ciel back and put the mattress over, covering his naked body. Ciel was so tired he fell asleep immediately, with traces of tears in the corner of his eyes. Sebastian grabbed a tissue, cleaned himself, and put on his butler clothes. He walked carefully outside, the rumbling noises from the ground had stopped, and there was only silence. He walked along the corridor, passing the library section and over to the East wing. There he found a telephone booth, so he set himself inside, dialed and waited.
The other side picked up. "Hello?"
Sebastian smirked. "It went well. I did it." He answered.
Ciel woke up in the morning, looking around. Where am I? Then he remembered everything. Recalling the scene from last night, he flushed. Tapping his hands on his cheeks to stop thinking about it, he stepped down and dressed himself with the clothes Sebastian had prepared on the bed. He was used to being dressed up by his butler, but now he was afraid Sebastian might take advantage and do lewd things to him. He put on his eye patch and looked through the mirror. Ciel was thinner than the last time he looked upon his reflection. His collarbones were showing up, and his face looked paler than usual. Ciel hadn't eaten much since yesterday, and he had overcome too much. He decided that he was going to rest here for a day.
Ciel went out to look for Sebastian. He didn't show up, and Ciel wondered where he could have been. He wanted to ask the shinigami's what happened with the explosion from yesterday. He heard chattering voices nearby, so he walked faster and tried to come across somebody. He turned a corner but the people were gone. Ciel found his stomach rumbling, so he decided to head for the dining hall instead.
His sense of direction was not working very well, so it took some time for him to find out the right path. Then things get more familiar so he headed forward. Ciel turned another corner and crashed into somebody, and before he fell that person caught his arm just in time. He looked up and saw Sebastian.
"Sebastian!" He exclaimed. "I was looking for you!"
"I am terribly sorry, my Lord. I was about to come and wake you up, but since you were already awaken, forgive me." He put his hand against his chest.
"I was heading for breakfast." Ciel explained.
"Well then, shall we go?" Sebastian raised his arm, offering the path. They went into the dining hall. Not many shinigami's were there, Ciel guessed because it was working time. But Grell was one of the unfortunate shinigami's who happened to be sitting on a table, his red cloak making him stood out as usual. Next to him was Alan.
"Ooh! Sebby-chan! Morning, darlin'!" He winked and jumped off the table, hushing towards them. "Hey, and by the way, have you heard of last night's invasion? I heard Willie caught hold of him and locked him up in the cell!" He said.
Ciel helped himself with some eggs and fried bacon, and hearing Grell continued. "I was sleeping on the desk when it made me jumped! Will burst in and he made me carry my chainsaw. Ugh, did you know how tiiiiiired I was? And now, look, there're dark shades under my eyes!" He swung his arms onto Sebastian's shoulders. Ciel felt rather annoyed, but he was used to it very often.
"Get off me, Sutcliff. And why are you here? I thought you were supposed to work." Sebastian inferred.
"Oh my shift starts at twelve. I got like an hour." Grell said. "And by the way, how come I didn't see you coming out last night? Everyone was like frantic and they came running around everywhere."
Ciel was about to stop Sebastian when he caught his gaze. The two of them looked at each other. Ciel went red, and buried his head into the plate. Grell switched looks from Sebastian to Ciel, he winced and pouted.
"Heyyyyy…don't tell me you were doing something! How dare youuuu…!" He came and shook Ciel's body.
"Get away! I didn't do anything, we just…just…!" He blabbered, struggling to find the right word. Grell pursed his lips.
"Then you're admitting everything! You DID do something, didn't you! Sebby, you're just sooo unfair!" He lunged forward to hug Sebastian. He ducked and Grell tripped. William banged the door loudly, and shouted:
"Grell, it's your shift. Hurry up!" He instructed.
"Whaaaaaat? I still got another hour!" Grell protested.
"You have to work overtime, remember? Now come or I'll cut your hair." He pointed his pruner towards Grell. Grell gasped and jumped backwards.
"Ow, don't touch my hair, I just washed them this morning! Fine I'll come." He dashed forward and made his way through the double doors. He looked back one last time to sneer at Ciel.
"Okay if that's the case I'll come too. Even though I'm on my daybreak." Alan said and he exited as well.
"Geez…why do I always have problems with him?" The boy complained.
"It's just his personality, my Lord. We all know how aggressive he is." Sebastian smiled. Ciel sighed and continued eating. It was deserted in the dining hall and there was only him and Sebastian. Wanting to break-out from the silence, Ciel ate fast and finished five minutes later. When Sebastian was done putting the dishes away, he spoke:
"By the way, I wanted to know who the intruder was. I haven't heard much from anyone." He asked.
"About this, I wasn't so sure, my Lord. For I was the same as you. But, this morning I went and ask the shinigami's and some of them said he was being locked up inside the cells down on the West wing." Sebastian answered.
"Well then, shall we pay a visit to that place?" Ciel insisted. Sebastian hesitated.
"…what? You don't want to?" Ciel raised an eyebrow.
"No, my Lord. It's just…I'm worried." He said.
Ciel chuckled. "What?" He crossed his arms. "You're worried I might get into trouble? You underestimate me, Sebastian. I'm not that coward."
Sebastian nodded. "Well then, Master."
The two of them strolled along the corridors in silence. Ciel was getting awkward, so he intended to talk to his butler. He remembered about the letter on Grell's desk.
"Say…Sebastian, when are you supposed to…you know, take my, um, soul?" He looked up. Sebastian looked surprised.
"Master, would you really want that to happen?" He inquired. Ciel staggered. "Of…of course not! I mean, who would want their soul to be taken away?" He blushed. "But, rules are rules, I cannot break them. I just…it's kind of…sad…when…" His voice got lower and lower and he stopped in mid-sentence. He looked down onto the floor, biting his lips.
Sebastian smiled, and walked closer. "Young Master, you love me, don't you? I guess it would have been sad to have the person you loved devour you." Then he did a weird gesture: he pinned his fingers onto the mid-region between his eyes. Ciel winced. "What are you doing?" Sebastian staggered a bit, then lowered his hand.
"It was nothing, Master. I was just scratching my nose." He answered. "But, my Lord, you are very special to me. I love you, and I wouldn't want to take your soul either. However, if I don't, you would already knew that Faustus would take it. Forgive me for my selfishness, but I do not like others than me to touch your soul, Master." He bent down, took Ciel's hand and kissed it.
Ciel blushed. His heart was beating loud. He had just heard Sebastian, confessed to him. Sebastian, a demon, loves me? It was incredible. Ciel loved Sebastian, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to save Sebastian's lifespan. If Sebastian made new contracts after Ciel, he didn't care. He knew that Sebastian loved him.
"Se…Sebastian, would…would you care for another Master, even if I died?" He asked trembling and had to lean on his walking cane to keep balance. Sebastian grinned and clutched Ciel's chin.
"Master, you are being silly. I have told you. I love no other than my young Master. You were the one who taught me to love weren't you? I thank you-" He kissed Ciel, making the boy stumbled and went red. Suddenly the alarm went ringing, casting red lights again.
"Attention. A prisoner had escaped! Attention. A prisoner had escaped!" It repeated.
"What?" Sebastian said with shock on his face. Ciel yelled so that Sebastian could hear through the alarm.
"Quick, Sebastian! To the cells!" He instructed. Sebastian lifted Ciel and rushed through incredible speed. After seconds they were already reaching the entrance. The door had been banged open, but Ciel did not see any traces of footprints. They ran inside, and Ciel was surprised.
The cells were better than he thought. There were separate booths, and each booth was about two yards in length, enough to hold a grown man. The lights were on, and Ciel could see a white ceiling with green windows, showing the views outside. In front of each cell was a glass door with a bronze padlock attached to it. The cells were designed in a straight-corridor style, so Ciel could clearly see the right side, the left side, and the far end, but he was surprised that almost every booth was empty, except for a door that had been destroyed, and glass scattered on the ground, possibly because of the criminal, Ciel thought. There was a single wooden desk placed beside the entrance, on it stood a lamp, some notebooks and working papers. The wooden chair was empty, and it seemed like a person was being knocked on the ground. There was a gag in his mouth. Ciel pulled off the gag.
"William T. Spears? What happened?" He asked frantically. William coughed, and said.
"Ughh! He escaped! The prisoner escaped! He knocked be from behind and tied me up and put this stupid gag in my mouth. Really…" He picked up his glasses from the ground and put it back on his face. Ciel opened his mouth, about to ask who the prisoner was, when Sebastian put up his arm and interrupted.
"Excuse me, Master, but before you could say or ask anything, how can we know if this shinigami is trustworthy? Maybe he was in league with the criminal, somehow…" He winced at the shinigami. William's eyes twitched, as if being offended by Sebastian's statement. He looked shocked.
"What? In league? Excuse me! I'm the person who was hit in the head! And why, for God's sake, should I tie myself up? What does it prove? But it was strange, though, for the glass was meant to be bulletproof, yet…he escaped so quickly…" William clutched his chin, thinking deeply.
"You call this a holding cell? Look at the windows and the design! What kind of cells they are, for criminals to look outside and enjoy the views? Yet this place was so neat…I really don't understand you shinigami's…" Ciel exclaimed.
"We shinigami's do not like untidiness, unlike others, whose cells were swollen in smoke and dark lights and rats. No offense, but we had used the modest technology to increase security, so we need not much guards. Besides, there aren't many criminals, either. Shinigami's follow strict rules, and therefore do not tend to break them. This cell was designed to hold off intruders only, which, we don't usually have." He winced at Sebastian. "And these cells were designed to block all forces coming from the inside booth, but…oh Lord…I haven't thought of this case before…"
Ciel got William immediately, he looked up to Sebastian, who also nodded.
"Demons." The three of them simultaneously said. There was a loud boom upstairs, and the ground shook. There was only one demon that Ciel could think about.
"Claude Faustus! Sebastian, quick!" He commanded. They rushed upstairs, just as the ceiling began to collide. Sebastian ran through the stairway, ducking collided pieces of the concrete building. They reached the library at the exact moment as the door exploded and was thrown away. Ronald and Eric laid face-down on the floor, unable to move. Gray fog came filling the air, and Ciel saw a figure, but it was not as tall as Faustus. The shadow was smaller, shorter, and there came a girl, walking out of the mess. She looked sixteen to Ciel, with orange hair tied in a ponytail and yellow eyes. She had a yellow bowler hat on her head, while she was wearing maid clothes and had guns in her hands. Ciel remembered seeing the face before, but he didn't recall. She cast a fierce look onto Ciel and Sebastian.
"Demon! Who are you?" Sebastian yelled. His eyes were glowing red.
"My sister. You filthy rat killed her. I am Annie Hunter, and I come here to seek vengeance. Now before it's too late…" As she said she dashed over the hall and rose her nineteen-millimeter glocks. Sebastian did not hesitate, he lunged forward and pulled out his personal weapons: butter knives.
Annie Hunter…wait a minute…Annie…A.H…THAT'S RIGHT! A.H! Ciel thought. This girl wrote a letter to Grell. Ciel was anxious to know, so he leapt forward, blocking Sebastian just as a bullet pierced him on his right chest.
"Young Master!" Sebastian cried in horror. Ciel groaned, clutching his injured wound.
"You…tell me...about the letter. Do you work for Claude Faustus?" Ciel gritted his teeth. The Hunter girl winced.
"So you are this rat's soul, then." She lifted her head in despise. "Yes, indeed, I am Claude's companion. He ordered Cecilia to steal your soul, brat. But you killed her." She looked at Sebastian with hatred. "Oh, how about I kill you instead?" She said, smirking devilishly, her feline eyes glowing with excitement. She jumped and rose her glocks again, aiming for Ciel. Sebastian lifted the boy, ducking the shots, and landed on the stair handrail. One or two bullets hit him, but he did not seem to bother.
"Ah, so you wanna play? Fine, I'll show you fair play!" The demon butler yelled, and he threw his knives. One of the knives knocked the hat off her head, but Hunter was able to duck, she leapt behind Sebastian and pointed her gun towards his head. Sebastian turned around just in time, he kicked the demon girl and knocked her onto the ground. Sebastian rose his knives.
"Noooooo! Sebastian! Don't kill her!" Ciel yelled, ignoring the pain he had. Sebastian staggered, apparently stunned by the order. He looked over to Ciel, sweating.
"…Master?" He asked.
"You there, tell me. What did you mean in the letter 'would take his soul soon, and all will end'? Are you referring to me? What do you mean? Speak!" Ciel commanded, shaking with pain and fury.
Hunter cast a sarcastic laugh, and she sat up. "What? You mean you didn't even have a clue? I thought Sutcliff told you everything." She approached Ciel. Sebastian pointed his knives at her neck.
"Do not move, or I'll kill you." He glared. Annie smiled.
"That's what it means, literally. What do you want to know?" She put her hands on her hips. Ciel swore in his head.
"Ah…so you admit that you worked with Grell? Then…tell me…what were you two planning to do? You know that, gah-! That…you…ah-can't-take-my-soul-GAH!" Ciel fell onto the ground. His wound was bleeding so hard that he almost faint. Annie cast a sarcastic laugh.
"Hah, says who?" She peeked at Sebastian, who was also clutching his wounds-which was strange-for a mighty demon like him. He gritted his teeth.
"You…" Sebastian winced, and dropped onto his knees, groaning. "How could-GAH!" He spilled blood. Both him and Ciel were both crawling on the ground.
"Ho ho…even though it's not in my plan to make you bleed like this, well, which is fine anyway. Now it works better. My bullets are drained in poison, you know. Venomous poisons. It should be able to kill both of you any moment now. I doubt the boy could survive in ten minutes' time… But as for you, demon…you know what to do." She smirked, satisfied. "You know you could gain your powers, by…drinking human blood…Of course you'd never want to die, especially under the hands of a female demon, don't you?"
Ciel could barely see anything, but he heard the whole conversation. For Sebastian to live, Ciel must sacrifice himself. Or else both of them would die. He loved Sebastian, and he would never, ever going to let his beloved die again. Not after being through all those times…the days after Ciel escaped from the human world, the days in hell, and in this place…It was just two months, but Ciel was able to realize his feelings for Sebastian. They were beautiful, and he wouldn't want to lose it. Maybe it was better if he would just die in the first place. No feelings, no adventures, no fights, ...everything would have been better. He had eight minutes.
"Se…bas…"He called out faintly, as Sebastian slowly approached him. Ciel removed his necktie, trembling.
"Take it…my blood…" He gasped. Black dots were flashing in the corner of his eye, and they stung. "Hurry…" He clutched onto Sebastian's leather tailcoat. Panic.
"Master! How could you? You'll die! No, I am NOT going to have your blood." And for the first time, he refused to obey his Master's order.
"No." Ciel shook his head. "I'll die anyway, it's…better that you live. This is my last order: take. My. Blood." He closed his eyes, he can hardly breathe now. Sebastian hesitated, and pulled him closer.
"Master, thank-" Sebastian was not done when another knife went charging and knocked him off. A few seconds until Ciel leave this world. Before he died, he looked over…and saw…Sebastian?! He looked over his shoulder and saw the person clutching onto him, who was…Claude?!
Ugh. Imagination before death. Ciel thought.
"I think you got the wrong person, Master." It was Sebastian's voice, and it was the last thing that Ciel could hear. He closed his eyes.
