This is a bit of a rewrite of the familiar scene in D and F, but with a different animal. If you don't know what I'm talking about; go read The Duke and The Fledgling. And if anyone has any particular animals they want to see, I can probably do a chapter for it. Yes, I can see the title now: Phantomhive Familiars. That was almost the name of this chapter, but I saw a little clever wordplay that I could make better use of.

Ciel closed his eyes. He honestly didn't know what traits made him up, so he just waited, and thought of varying memories. It didn't take too long for his body to change. He began with feeling his new body parts. He had for legs, but they were kind of short. He had a large nose, and he sniffed a bit and found that it moved around. He could feel something protruding from is bottom, he figured it was a tail. He opened his eyes to see that he was much lower to the ground than he was used to, as though he were on his hands and knees. He tried frowning, which didn't quite work as his new face wasn't made for that. He sat down and, instead of the huff he was intending, he squealed.

"OH GOD, AM I A PIG?!" he tried to shout, but another squeal was all he could manage. That was when he realized the strange silence. It was like a sound was trying to escape, but someone was holding it back. He looked around the room and made eye contact with Alois. He could feel the silence break as the blonde burst into laughter.

"Ha, ha, I guess, hee hee, your, heh, pigheadedness got, hahaha, the best of you!" The boy managed to gasp out.

~Oh shut up~ Ciel squealed, ~You sound like the Undertaker.~ The blunette turned to glare at Malphas, only to see that the elder was visibly holding back chuckles of his own.

~Really? Really, Malphas?~

The duke laughed, not as explosively as Alois, but the gentle laughter seemed to irritate Ciel even more. The pig looked over at Leviatha, Because, why not?, and she too began to laugh. The young demon simply sat in the middle of the room, staring -_- faced as the laughter played itself out.

Malphas was the first to come down, "Ah~ You can't blame us for laughing. Alois made a perfectly valid point. But, I suppose this means I was wrong."

~What did you think I was going to be, then?~

"Oh, I was sure you were going to be a cat."

~Oh, of course YOU would, you cat obsessed idiot!~

"Now, now, there's no need to throw around insults. Besides, it's your fault you're like this."

~What do you mean?~

"I completely attribute this to your eating habits."

~Go bugger yourself, Malphas.~

The elder simply chuckled.

If they just kept going as demons...

"No, no, my lord. Not like that." He frowned at the boy's pink face. Ciel looked as though he was concentrating so hard he might pop.

The young demon sighed and opened his eyes. Their blood red color still unsettled Sebastian, but he was getting used to it, "Then what do you suppose I do?"

"You must relax."

Ciel groaned, "You keep saying that! Ugh! Bring me something sweet."

"My lord, this is no time to be snacking." Sebastian said sternly.

"You want me to relax, don't you?" The blunette snapped.

The raven sighed and headed to the sweets cupboard. His young lord had no intention of making contracts himself, or hunting like a lower class demon, so Sebastian managed to lure those eager for death, and collected a nice store of souls. Souls that would have otherwise been wasted, as these dead became Shinigami. He plucked a young soul, his young lord liked the sweetness of depressed youths, and made a cup of New Moon Drop. He brought to snack to the little devil, and the child happily gobbled it up.

"Now, again." Sebastian instructed.

Ciel sighed and stretched. His belly was full, the sweetness of a soul rested on his tongue, and he felt calm, if not a tad drowsy. He closed his eyes and felt his energy align. A gentle light filled the room, and when it faded away, Sebastian could only stare. And the large, pearly pink pig in the place Ciel had been standing stared back.

The young creature looked at himself. His face contorted into a frown, a very strange sight to see on a pig, "I'm a bloody pig?"

"I told you it wasn't the time for snacking."

"Oh bugger off, this isn't because I just ate."

"No, it's because you never stopped eating. I knew it would catch up to you."

"Well, jokes on you. I don't mind this form. In fact," the pig dropped to his side and closed his eyes, "I'm going to enjoy it."

"My lord, you still have your Latin and violin lessons."

But the boy who was a demon who was a pig, was already snoring.

Ciel's had a nightmare, and Sebastian is keeping him company. Random thoughts from a tired child...

"Sebastian, you remember how you came to me as a raven?"

The demon looked up from his knitting. His young lord was sitting in bed, eating a cookie. He'd needed something to eat after his nightmare, so the demon had whipped up a batch of sugar cookies. He knew the warmth and sweetness would eventually draw his young master back into sleep.

"Yes, I do recall that particular detail."

"What do you think I would be? If I was a demon?"

The demon laid his knitting in his lap and put his glasses on the nightstand beside him. He looked Ciel over. The small child was very gentle and precious, but he was very greedy. And with the cookie in his hand, Sebastian could think of nothing more fitting than, "A piglet."

The boy blinked slowly, the gentle candle light illuminating the sapphire and violet of his eyes, "Oh."

There was no more talking then, as the child finished his cookie and the butler finished his knitting. When Ciel was done, Sebastian rose and tucked him in once more. As he began to close the door, his young master's voice rung out once more.

"Sebastian?"

The demon turned towards his little lord, "My lord?"

"Oink." With that the boy turned over and Sebastian closed the door, shaking his head and chuckling softly. He would never figure that child out.
