Sebastian turned around to come face-to-face with Claude.

"Claude, what are you doing here?"

Claude didn't respond to the query, he instead knocked Sebastian on the side of his head, causing the demon to fall to the floor, dizzy and losing consciousness.

"Now where is the little brat?"

He walked off into the other room leaving Sebastian struggling to get up. In the distance, he could hear things crashing on the floor, and Ciel's voice.

"What the devil are you doing here?"

"You should know better than to run away from me, Ciel…"

Then Sebastian felt his eyes closing and everything going black, he could barely hear himself say, "Ciel…"

And suddenly everything went black…

"Sebastian! Sebastian wake up!"

'Ciel?'

"Bassy, Bassy please wake up!"

'G-Grell?'

Slowly Sebastian's eyes started to open. He lifted his throbbing head up and looked around at their surroundings. They were in a basement that much is true; if they were anywhere else it wouldn't look like this. It was empty with the exception of shelves and a table of some sort, and it was dimly lit. He slowly sat up, to the excitement of everyone else. There was Grell sitting next to Ciel, and Undertaker in the corner watching the three of them with a grin on his face. Ciel was the first to dash over to Sebastian.

"You're okay."

"Are you okay?"

Ciel nodded.

"If anything he gave me a bruise on my cheek."

Sebastian tilted the boy's head and saw the blue-green patch on his cheek. Not knowing what else to do he pulled Ciel into a hug, and to his surprise, Ciel didn't pull away. While he held his son in his embrace he looked over at Grell, who was staring at him with some type of longing in his eyes.

"What are you doing here, Grell?"

"I don't know. I was leaving my office for the day when that oaf Claude knocked me out. I have a killer headache now."

Sebastian shifted his gaze over to Undertaker.

"Claude got to you the same way, I'm assuming?"

Undertaker nodded.

"Clocked me on the head right good, he did!"

Sebastian looked down to the boy that was in his arms and started to rub his back.

"I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, none of you would be in this situation."

"That's not true Sebastian, I'm sure that Claude would've kidnapped all of us anyway. It comes with being crazy."

Sebastian gave a faint smile.

"We have to find a way out of here."

Ciel nodded.

"Do you know any way out?"

"He never let me down here."

Sebastian looked around, searching for a way out. The door was already crossed off; Claude would hear the door opening, and the window. Maybe if Ciel could manage his body out of the window and get help…

His thoughts were interrupted as they heard footsteps near the basement door, everyone was deathly quiet and all of the adults shot each other looks. Sebastian looked down at Ciel and whispered in his ear, "Okay Ciel, when he opens the door we'll distract him so you can get out. Do you understand?"

Ciel nodded and separated himself from Sebastian. Ciel just got out of Claude's line of sight when he got down the stairs. Claude dashed right past the reapers and grabbed Sebastian by the neck. He snarled in Sebastian's face and growled, "WHERE IS HE?"

Sebastian smiled.

"If I told you that would be cheating."

Claude growled again and threw Sebastian into the wall, hard enough that the wall cracked. Sebastian's body was racked with pain but he still stood back up.

"Now now, do you think beating me up is going to get me to tell you anything? What happened to manners?"

Claude just got angrier and punched Sebastian in the stomach and dropped him on the floor.

"I almost wish there was a child in you, so it could hurt you twice as bad."

Sebastian shot an evil glance at Claude. Grell knew that Sebastian hated it whenever somebody brought up the accident, no matter how long ago it was, it's still sensitive for him. Grell shot up and called out, "Hey, Claude!"

Claude turned around and saw Grell charging at him with his scythe, he knicked Claude in the shoulder.

"How in the world did you get your scythe?"

Grell smiled.

"Reapers can summon their scythes whenever they need to. You could throw it at the bottom of the Thames and I will still have it by the end of the day. "

"So then that means that the both of you…"

Undertaker nodded and stood up.

"You didn't think I would be kidnapped without my scythe handy, would you?"

Claude's eyes widened and he watched as they both approached him. Sebastian also found the willpower to stand up and Claude could tell that he was going to go into his demon form soon. Claude just laughed and stood there as the three neared him.

"Do you think you all scare me?"

He looked at Sebastian.

"You have got to be the most pathetic excuse for a demon ever. I mean honestly, all I have to do is threaten Ciel and you'll back down."

"You don't even know where he is!"

"Oh don't I?"

Claude smirked as he walked over to the door and closed it, to reveal Ciel standing there, staring at Claude with his eye wide. Before he could run away, the spider grabbed him by the collar and held him up like a kitten.

"I could snap the child's neck in one fell swoon."

"You care for Ciel, you wouldn't do that."

"Care?! You honestly think that I care for this brat?! I only took him to spite you, and trained him to hate you for my benefit. I could care less about him."

Ciel snapped his head up at Claude, eyes glassy. Sebastian didn't want Ciel to hear that, he didn't want Ciel to be upset over something like that. Sebastian mauled Claude, causing him to drop Ciel. Ciel crawled out of the way and watched them fight. Grell, Undertaker, and Ciel heard the sounds of clothes tearing, and skin being broken. Claude kicked Sebastian off of him and sent him crashing to the floor, hitting his head on concrete.

"Sebastian!"

Ciel ran over to the unconscious form. Grell and Undertaker had at him. There were Chainsaws swinging and missing and hitting the target, Undertaker swiping away, hitting with slightly more accuracy.

"You lot are quite skilled I'll give you that much."

He caught the chainsaw in his hands and threw it to the other side, with Grell still holding on to it. Ciel was trying to wake Sebastian up.

"Sebastian wake up!"

Then he found himself doing something he thought he never would.

"Please Sebastian; I need you to wake up! Claude is winning!"

At that Sebastian's eyes opened and he shot up. He grabbed Ciel by the shoulders and told him to go to Grell.

"Close your eyes Ciel, and count to ten and whatever you do, DO NOT open your eyes. Do you understand me?"

Ciel nodded and ran off. Grell pulled him in a hug and they both closed their eyes. Sebastian repeated the sentence for Undertaker, who obliged happily.

"This should be good…"

When Sebastian was sure that they were safe, he looked back at Claude.

"What is this Sebastian, a new type of fighting you want us to try?" Claude jests.

Sebastian smirked.

"Yes, I prefer to fight this way, I have more of an advantage you see."

Claude raised an eyebrow.

"Is this a challenge, Sebastian?"

"Yes, I believe it is."

"You don't know what strength I possess…" Claude warned.

"I don't? Well then, it seems we should test it out…"

Claude laughed.

"Ready when you are…"

Just like that, the aura of the room darkened immensely. Claude could see Sebastian's eyes glowing and his fangs as well as his nails glowing. He also saw the dark feathers surround the both of them. Claude was also getting in touch with his inner demon. Though his golden eyes intensified and he grew fangs like that of a spider. His nails grew to great lengths as well. They both shared one more look before they started their showdown.

Ciel heard Sebastian count down.

"One…

A scream was heard.

"Two…

Something was ripped off.

"Three…

What sounded like glass broke. It was probably Claude's spectacles.

"Four…

Teeth chomped down into skin.

"Five….

A loud growl was heard.

"Six…bear with me I'm almost done….

Was Claude getting any hits in?

"Seven….

Something else was torn off.

"Eight…

Someone was thrown into the side of the wall with great force.

"Nine…almost done….

Something was being horribly broken.

"Ten…

A loud shriek was heard before silence erupted.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now!" Sebastian chirped.

Everyone opened them to find Claude, missing limbs, horribly mangled and bloody and gasping for life. Sebastian was smiling like there was absolutely nothing wrong.

"Come on Ciel, I don't want you to see this."

Ciel couldn't do anything but nod as he scurried out of the basement. Grell and Undertaker followed after. Sebastian looked down at the body with an even wider smile.

"The next time you lay a FINGER on Ciel, I won't let you live."

He turned to leave, only stopping in the doorway to say, "You might want to clean yourself up, rotting flesh leaves a nasty smell."

And he closed the door.

Ciel and Sebastian were opening the door to his house when he heard Grell.

"Bassy! Bassy wait!"

Sebastian rolled his eyes and told Ciel to go inside. He waited at the door for Grell.

"What do you want?"

Grell paused where he was standing.

"What you did down there…it was…amazing…"

Sebastian stared before he replied, "Thank you. Now you should return home before William gets angry."

"I'm not with William anymore. "

Sebastian's eyes widened.

"What happened?"

Grell looked down at his feet.

"He hit me one too many times…"

"That's what you get for cheating on me."

"Sebastian…"

"What Grell?"

Grell bit his lip and sighed.

"I was hoping…would you…like to go out for dinner sometime?"

Sebastian laughed.

"You're joking."

The look he got from the reaper said anything but. He really wanted to get back with Sebastian! Sebastian couldn't deny that he missed Grell sometimes but he wasn't just going to let him back in like that. Not after what he did. Was he? Well he took too long to answer because Grell just gave a sad smile and laugh.

"Never mind, it was dumb of me to ask. I'll leave you alone…"

Grell started walking away, only to hear Sebastian's voice.

"Grell wait!"

Grell turned around with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Sebastian sighed.

"Grell you know that what you did to me was inexcusable. And I'm going to tell you that I'm willing to forgive you but I will never forget what you did. Do you understand?"

Grell nodded happily.

"So does this mean?"

Sebastian smiled.

"See you on Friday, Grell."

He heard the excited reaper dance away. He figured that Grell learned his lesson, and even then they weren't actually together…if Grell does do it again, then there is no second chance. He walked into his house and closed the door, only to be met by Ciel. None of them said anything, he watched as the boy awkwardly threw his arms around him, to attempt a hug. He then released himself and muttered, "Thank you" under his breath and then went upstairs to his room. Sebastian felt his heart jump. Ciel voluntarily hugged him. Maybe this meant that things are getting better….
