I didn't have comfortable computer access for a while, so sorry for the wait. But here it is! Thanks for sticking with me so long.

"Undertaker, you said he'd be here!" Ciel shouted, the impatience boiling within him. The dank prison area was empty, save for several painful looking objects and broken bottles of holy water.

"Ciel, maybe he's back here!"

Elizabeth led the boy over to a large cage, both children faltering slightly at the blood stains lining the bars and walls. I should hope not. Ciel nearly jumped when the Undertaker placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hmmm, someone beat us to it, young Phantomhive."

"Where else could he be?"

"I don't know."

"Undertaker!"

"HA HA! Fine, fine- follow me. Like master, like butler; there's only one place he can go to recruit."

"Did you just compare us?"

"Nooo."

William leapt backwards, the spider's legs crashing into the ground as Grell prepared his scythe. Beside them, Sebastian felt the female not-so-subtlely shove him in the line of fire, not that he wasn't already in it before.

The spider's eyes fell on him. "You," it growled.

"Your social skills are terrible, crow."

"Shut up, five eyes."

"I'm going to kill you!" The spider lunged and Sebastian felt himself knocked backward (like he didn't have enough experience with that over the past few hours). He flipped and "accidentally" used the slime demons as a meat shield before the spider kicked them all aside.

"You're part of the horde, aren't you?" Sebastian held back a groan when the other demon smashed into his ribs.

"It wasn't my choice. Now just shut up and let me crush you."

Sebastian struggled to piece the words into his quickly forming plan. It was a bit hard, seeing as the spider was literally crushing his form- he could feel several ribs already floating around his body in unsavory places. And for the first time in his life, he felt very lucky that he was a demon- otherwise, the ripped lungs would never heal.

He looked past the spider's large form, only to see his so-called companions huddled a safe distance away. I'm sure it would be too much trouble to offer a little help right about now.

Something else cracked. "I hope that hurt!" "It did!"

It was a bit ironic that everything seemed to breaking within him except the sling that Ciel Phantomhive fashioned. Ah, his master was quite talented.

"Sebby, if you just ignore him, maybe he'll go away!"

"Demon, stay right there so I can slay you both!"

The death gods' advice didn't really help. "We can.. h- ah- help each other," he managed to wheeze, "we get rid of the horde... more food for you, do you understand?"

The massive (most definitely massive) weight rolled off of his body. Sebastian nearly sighed in relief, before the spider's limbs pounded on his aching form again. "And how do you propose we do that?"

"Get off me first."

Growling lowly, the spider crept away. Panting, Sebastian sat up; there wasn't a single movement (because obviously, it would be far too difficult for anyone unscathed to assist his ploy).

"Grell," he called, "it wants to help."

"See, Sebby? I told you if you ignored it, it would come around!" Shut up.

"And why should we believe you?" William asked, pushing his glasses up. Sebastian felt his eyes flare- could these reapers bother him any more than they already did?

Standing up shakily, he walked over to the slick-haired reaper. Young master, if you dare fire me after this-

"What are you-!" the death god shouted as Sebastian yanked the scythe from his hands.

And proceeded to stab himself with it. A thick reel of blood-stained records flew out, one of which showed a noticeable number of demons in the volcanoes.

"Are you a masochist, crow?"

"I didn't know you were this kinky, Sebast!"

Ciel's classmates trembled behind them, but according to them, they were just cold. Considering the fact that it wasn't even near fall, let along winter, the boy wasn't too keen on believing them. Regardless, the group made their way into the training dome.

"And what did I tell you, young Phantomhive?" Undertaker giggled to himself, ushering the class in.

"I don't see anything!" Alois complained, dragging Ciel in, apparently not noticing that he had not only taken Doll's position, but Elizabeth's as well. That was quickly remedied when the curly blonde immediately tripped and shoved the boy away.

"Sorry!" she called.

"The spider's here, says Oscar."

Spider? Right, the spider. The one that had tried to kill him earlier. Ciel sighed, taking his place as the group leader and marching onwards. "Everyone- we're going to the training rack. Grab a scythe or something."

"Spiders? Where? Where?" Alois jumped eagerly, still keeping a safe distance behind Ciel.

A familiar voice was muttering something. When the group got closer, Ciel realized it was shouting- quite angrily, too.

"Professor Spears!"

"What is this! No- No No No No!" the death god roared, shaking Grell by the shoulders.

"It's not my fault, Will!"

Furiously throwing the redhead aside, William's blazing glare fell on the group of demons. For the spider now stood before him, in the shape of a bare man who bore a near exact likeness to himself.

Of all the low, blasphemous, vile, horrible, disgusting, terrible things a demon could do, to see one wearing his likeness- and worst of all-

"Hey, Will- it looks like you and Sebby had a love child!"

William's speech was reduced to incoherent screams of rage.

"Uh, professor?" someone asked.

Startled, the entire group turned around to see the Spears class lined up behind Ciel Phantomhive, Elizabeth Middleford at his side, and the Undertaker grinning beside them.

The girls immediately averted their gaze upon seeing the spider demon's new form.

"Ooohhh, that's a bit indecent, professor," the Undertaker chuckled.

"It is a bit inappropriate for children, Will," Grell commented, "you two are the same size- maybe you could-"

William threw his jacket off, face red with rage, and flung it at the nude demon. "Sebastian," he spat, "cover it up."

The demon finished the task quickly, before breaking into a smile upon seeing-

Ciel rushed forward.

"Sebastian!"

The boy stopped for breath. The demon was alive, alive and moving. He looked up at his smiling servant, the same hint of relief on the demon's face. He put a hand on Sebastian's side, the palm coming back stained with blood.

Alive and well, for the most part, sort of. Kind of. A little. Well, he wasn't dead.

"Young master?"

Ciel was trying to take in how battered his demon was, how much blood there was, how disheveled and dirty he was.

"Damn it, Sebastian," he hissed, "what did they bloody do to you?"

"Not important. Young master- are you alright?"

"I'm fine! Not important? Don't ignore my question- what happened?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Now answer me!"

"A lot."

Ciel resisted the impulse to slap him. That's not specific at all, you idiot!

"Your guts are falling out," the boy pointed out for emphasis.

"I know."

Before Ciel could actually slap him this time, he was distracted by a blur of shedding slime. Apparently, the slime demons felt left out by the sudden influx of "humans." Three young men stood in their place, bodies covered in a thin film of dark slime.

"Do they need covering up, Will?" "No."

Behind them, a certain Alois Trancy was poking the stoic spider/man. Golden eyes glared at the boy and the poking increased.

The dome's front doors barged open, revealing a panting, armored Vincent Phantomhive, a trail of reapers behind him. Ciel almost fell backward, and probably would have had Sebastian not been so close by.

Well, it appears that I'm grounded for life... twice.

The Earl's eyes fell on him. "Ciel-"

"Earl, I believe I can offer an explanation," William started, to Ciel's fortune.

"Where's your jacket?"

"On that man- spider, spiderman. They can all change their shape; also, I suggest you let my-"

"Our," Grell coughed.

"My dispatch go up to the cliffs. That demon horde is not a lie. And according to Mr. Sutcliffe, your son's demon seduced him or it was the other way around. Either way (honestly, I don't want to think too much about it), that's why they're all here now."

Ciel gagged. He hoped that wasn't true, but judging by the look on Sebastian's face... "a lot" was quite accurate.

"I've checked the demon's records. There is indeed a horde up there."

"What are you proposing, professor- we take the demons with us? And this bunch- your pathetic excuses for students?"

"... Yes."

Vincent's intense gaze fell on the group of demons. His eyes narrowed.

"And how do I know they're to be trusted?"

"Ya could put them in a cage or somethin'," Beast suggested suddenly.

"The demons or the students?" the Undertaker asked with a grin.

The Excaliber jabbed at Sebastian's chest, right above Ciel's head. "Spears, prepare a cage- you, demon, are going in first."

And there you go! Please review and I hope you liked that.

Next time: everyone sets out, a new creature appears, Vincent might just have to work with Sebastian, and Alois finds himself in the middle of a "demon love triangle"
