Ah yes….this chapter will be fighting if you couldn't tell from the chapter before, along with a surprise in a few chapters. Hope you enjoy.
"Don't worry Ciel, I'll be fine. Really." Sebastian lied. "I just need you to leave the area for a while." He wiped the tears that began with one hand to leave his crying lover's eyes and kissed his on the lips, slowly and gently, but never allowing his hand to leave the young child's. "Now, remember, don't look back and run as fast as you can! Alright? If you do good I promise I'll do something especially nice for you later."
Ciel bit his lip to stop his sobs from leaving him and nodded in response. He didn't mind Sebastian speaking to him as though he was a little child, this once he would let him get by with it.
'I'll make him pay for it later… I will.' Ciel thought, staying positive. 'I'll make him walk Pluto and then invite Grell over as punishment.'
Ciel gave Sebastian a small signal of a smile to signify that he was ready and as soon as Sebastian let go, Ciel ran and ran. He ran as fast as he could, faster than when he had to run away from Alois and he didn't look back. This was an order, a begging order, given to him by Sebastian. 'I'll get him for this. I will!' He began crying as he ran, soon he was in a whole other area, the small area where the undertaker's shop was and behind him was a familiar darkness. Sebastian's total darkness.
He really wasn't used to this, surprisingly. It was like the feeling of being naked. He moved swiftly, wings high in the air and covering himself, watching every enemy around him as they stared in awed of his strength. He spread his darkness wide and far, and began his battle.
"There is no sun for you…the light you worship shall never shine upon you again." He whispered breathily. He could see some growing scared and some looking around in shock, still not realizing what happened. His voice echoed through the area, he could feel some shivering with fear and striking out at the shadows.
It brought a smirk to his lips to see them foolishly trying to resist him.
Sebastian flew to the top of his little dark barrier, he had set it around this part of town around both him and shinigami. He couldn't feel Ciel's presence though, thankfully. He pointed to the ground and shadows began to rise, he could hear screams and slashes as the souls he collected over thousands of years rose up and fought against the shinigami.
"Drop dead!" Someone far below him screamed, slicing multiple figures in half with a single slice. "Don't be alarmed, it's simple shadows with souls." He screamed out and Sebastian recognized the voice.
"WILLIAM!" Sebastian screamed with the voice of Satan himself, shocking many and gaining the black haired shinigami's attention. His glowing red eyes stared through the darkness, down at William in anger mixed with a strange happiness. 'Yes….yeeesss….this is perfect. I get to kill you here.'
"Ahh so this is your doing, Samael. For a moment I almost thought it was someone worth fearing." He said, his death scythe propped against his shoulder as he leaned against it.
Sebastian was unfazed, he could only focus on one thing, finishing this fight and returning to Ciel's side. 'I promise I'll come back to be with you…' He focused himself and touched the inner shell of the barrier. In that moment black and red spikes began rising from the ground and falling from the top of the large black sphere he had created and they burst into acidic puffs of red smoke when they hit the ground or were cut, as many shinigami found out the hard way.
William winced as he saw a new shinigami, a prodigy, slice into one of the stalagmites with the intention of jumping off of it to get to Sebastian but it blew up into purple acid mist that melted the skin and flesh off his bones and he screamed for god along with many others foolish enough to try.
"The Undertaker was right. You are poorly trained…might as well kill you myself if this is-" A large 'CLINK' went through the dome and Sebastian nearly slammed into the opposite site. William had jumped up and stabbed at the spot where Sebastian was not a moment ago…Sebastian had to almost struggle to escape that.
"How quick the devil ceases to speak after being bested." William said, slowly falling to the ground, carefully not to step on the spikes. Sebastian hissed in searing anger and slowly flew around.
"So tell me 'Shinigami'" Sebastian hissed the word as it passed his lips. "How are you able to see through my yami?"
"I'm not afraid of you, that's why. I know I'm better, sexier and all around more perfect then you." William looked up at Sebastian, who was now lower in the dome. He had grown to at least seven feet within the past few hundred years and his hard black nails had lengthened to near claw length. They were accented by the long thick black silk gloves he wore that extended from right below his shoulders, intricate patterns embroidered into them. His hair grew longer and his outfit was different, thigh high heels topped with black lace garter and black garter straps that tied to his skin tight black and gold one piece. His skin was slightly gray and his eyes has taken on a slightly cat like shape. "However, I must say you look like less and less of what you are the more I see of you."
"Do not speak of my status or rank. You're unworthy." Sebastian said with a small giggle, he began effortlessly floating. He crossed his legs and held one of his cheeks in his hand, his arm resting on one of his legs. "Hey, Let's play a game." He increased the darkness of the dome, thinking of every sin and terrible curse he could think of and pouring it into the air. He could feel someone's morale hitting rock bottom, and wishing to die.
William followed the voice, tracking it. 'He's near the top or course but where?' He could see through the darkness of the dome still, but not that far. If he could catch even a glimpse of Sebastian it would be just that, only a glimpse. "I haven o time for your games demon. Show yourself."
"Hmmmm…nah…" Sebastian leaned back in mid air and began floating back in a lying position. At this point he was really bored compared to how he was when he had to let go of Ciel. He stuck one of his legs up in the air and examined it with a small pout. "Am I gaining weight?" he putting his hands on his hips and sighed in frustration. "William, remind me how much I weighed before the black death." He called out
"How the hell would I know!" He screamed, sick of Sebastian's games. Only that moment did the screaming of howling shinigamis, foolishly touching the spikes stopped. William looked out and saw many figures still standing. 'Good. They aren't as badly trained-'
"WOW, you retards aren't as terribly trained as I thought!" Sebastian let out a baritone giggle. "Maybe I can actually push myself this time." He flew down to a part of the dome that was free of living grim reapers and picked up one of their dead bodies, the prodigy that William had seen died. Sebastian laid him against one wall of the barrier and opened his mouth, about to kiss the lips of one of the corpses…
At that moment a blue ghostly breathe left Sebastian and went into the corpse, it immediately jumped to life. It shook and bended, contorting with multiple cracks going through the air as its bones broke and finally after a shriek of excruciating pain left its throat, the body exploded into black feathers. The black feathers floated in mid air.
"Hmmm….I wonder what to do…Pixies? Land Sirens? Succubae? Undead?"(1) Sebastian smirked and grabbed one of the feathers, it released a purple glow. "There's so much I can choose…."
William heard his voice, it wasn't an echo. He was close. He focused himself and looked around and immediately noticed black blood creeping out towards him…he shoot out his death scythe towards the source and Sebastian swiftly dodged that, bending over backwards.
"Close…so so close. Well not really." He said and put the feather to his lips, blowing on it gently. A blush reached his cheeks and his body felt warm for a moment as he voiced his command. "Hmmm…I want…imps. Lots and lots of imps." He blew the feather towards William, who stared at it. It was right in front of its face when it exploded into hundreds of little tiny demons. They had horns and demonic, vein filled wings. They wore different clothing but it all shared one trait, it was ripped and torn be it dresses or shoes. They had hot pokers and small tridents and daggers and flew around like bats, preying upon the once again screamy, wimpy, pathetic grim reapers who were dying by the twos and threes.
Sebastian couldn't hold it back at that moment. The rush of summoning evil creatures and the sickeningly sweet scent of blood, gave him that sweet all over warm feeling he'd get whenever he could kill a demon foolish enough to challenge him back in hell. It was gorgeous, amazing and mind blowing…so he laughed. He laughed and laughed and the feeling that came back to him, the amazing feeling of causing discord and chaos among a group he hated.
He glanced over the dome and a wide grin came to his face, the imps were feasting on the shinigami, ripping them to pieces in mid air and eating them. Cutting them to ribbons from the sky and picking them apart on the ground. The last few living had made a ragtag group straight in the center of the dome, back to back, to fight off the imps. Sebastian smirked, he was just moments from winning, and then he would kill William.
'Oh yes..I'll take my time with William….' Sebastian evilly thought. 'I'll skin him alive and summon lesser vampires to feast on his insides and ill slowly rip out his heart. I won't kill him quick at all…A day, at least.' He twiddled his fingers in anticipation, he crossed his legs once more and floated with a happy grin upon his face. However, Sebastian had forgotten one thing.
"Sebastian." Ash came out of nowhere, floating right outside the barrier. His voice came through muffled. "Do you love me?"
"Ash, I'm busy right now." He said, suddenly irate with Ash. He didn't even know why the Angel was asking. 'Hundreds of years of separation, me doing exactly what you hate on purpose, me voicing my hate for you. Of course I hate you.'
"Answer now!" Ash wanted to know. He needed to. Over the past few hundred years he had been missing Sebastian so fiercely that he lusted after the man's body like a hunger…
"I'm with someone, so no." He shrugged the young angel off and continued his torturing of the shinigami by getting once again another feather and blowing on it. This time Sebastian said nothing and let it float gently down.
William grunted with difficulty, many of his allies were dying nearby but they were dying so many at a time now. They stay close together, watching each other's backs and attacking the imps. Slowly and surely the amount of imps decreased and decreased until there were very few left…and those few flew to the top of the dome in an attempt to escape and as soon as they slammed into the inner circle of it, burst into green flames and disappeared.
"Demon." William called out heroically. "We are DONE with your games, come down here and fight us like a man!" He pointed his death scythe to the top of the dome in anger. He was tired of this bullshit. He wanted to end this fight HERE and NOW!
"Are you really in a position to speak to me like that Willie-kins?" The demonic winged being said in a mocking voice.
"Why you…."
"I mean really, look around you. I have single handedly obliterated your entire….third grade class." He giggled as William's eyes practically glowed with rage. "No really, how young were these kids? 120? 100 years of age? Baka. Sending people so young and inexperienced-"
Sebastian suddenly stopped and saw the horror that was heavenly regeneration…There stood Ashe in the very center of the dome, wings outstretched and eyes closed. Light shone off his being and the people around him were being healed, growing back limbs and skin, eyeballs and organs.
'Of course. Of course.' Sebastian thought with a sigh. "How immature."
"At least I'm not an abusive demon hooker." Ashe looked up with his tongue stuck out at Sebastian as if to say. 'yeah, and what are you gonna do about it?'
Ahhhh jealous exes getting in the way of everything. Darn them!
1: I believe Succubae is the correct plural to use…
