~Sebastian's POV~
Sebastian's eyes widened as he looked back at the remaining players. Hikaru and Saske were grinning on the left, while Kaoru was leaning over Ciel, who was lying limply on the ground. Eyes flashing, he ran over to his master.
The damage was worse than he thought. While the wall didn't get affected, Ciel definitely took the blow. He was limp on the tiled floor, blood pouring from his head as his breathing turned shallow. Sebastian felt an ache in his left hand, where his contract symbol is concealed by a white glove. How could he have let his master get a serious injury like this? It was unforgivable for a demon butler such as himself.
He glared at Kaoru. "What. Happened. Here." He snarled through gritted teeth, unable to contain his growing anger.
Kaoru had tears in his amber eyes. "I-it was Hikaru, he was aiming the ball at me and Ciel sacrificed himself. I'm sorry, Sensei, I should have took action—"
"It's not your fault, calm down," Sebastian reassured him, turning Ciel over so he was on his back. The damage was hidden well by his hair, but his body is limp, meaning that he was completely knocked out. At least he was somewhat breathing. Sebastian stood up, picking up Ciel bridal style, and placing him in Kaoru's arms. "Take him to the school nurse, immediately, he may have a concussion from this."
Kaoru nodded and walked out of the gym as quickly as he could, nearly running thanks to how light Ciel was.
Sebastian took a deep breath, and turned to look at Hikaru. His eyes were wide, as if he didn't mean for it to happen. He walked calmly to him, towering over the teen thanks to his monstrous height.
He grabbed Hikaru by the front of his shirt, leaning his mouth close to his ear.
"If you dare hurt that boy again," he snarled. "I will kill you, understood?"
"Why would you freaking care?" Hikaru chose the worst time to be sassy.
Sebastian pulled his face away, his ruby eyes shimmering harshly. Hikaru's eyes widened, and that was when the butler realized his gravest mistake: he revealed his true identity… as a devil.
Acting on pure impulse, Sebastian tossed Hikaru Hitachiin to the opposite side of the gymnasium, receiving gasps from the students and a low groan from Hikaru, who managed to remain conscious.
He strolled over to the student, eyes narrowed. "Come with me, we're going to have a safe, adult talk." He grabbed Hikaru's wrist, and marched out of the classroom, muttering "class dismissed" as he exited.
~Kaoru's POV~
Kaoru sat on a chair next to the table Ciel was laid at, watching as the younger one was being assessed by the doctors employed by the Ootori family, thanks to his friend Kyoya from the Host Club. While he was worried about the newest member, he was more worried about his older devilish brother, Hikaru.
He had been acting strange for the past few days, that's for sure. Being more independent, even demanding that he no longer slept in the same bed as Kaoru. Now the youngest was cold, numb, and alone. He hated this new persona that his brother put on. It was bad enough that he isolated himself like he did in middle school (that time, with Kaoru), now he was injuring students as well.
"Mister Fantomuhaivu will be just fine," one of the doctors declared. "We treated his cuts, and his bruises will fade over time. We gave the gash on his head stitches, he just needs to be more careful from now on."
"O-okay," Kaoru mumbled, breaking out of his daze as the doctors swarmed out.
Once they were gone Kyoya strolled in, glasses flashing and clipboard in hand. "So, will he be ready for his first time as a host?"
Kaoru fiddled with the hem of his shirt, nodding. "I believe so, tell Tamaki to make everything perfect for the noble, shadow king."
~Sebastian's POV~
Sebastian and Hikaru were now in the hallway, with the devil emotionless and the student trembling. This kid may have been a total psycho, but he was still young, just a few years older than Ciel.
"Why did you do that?" Sebastian asked, crossing his arms.
Hikaru took a deep breath through his nose. "That brat is going to cause trouble, don't you see, Sensei?"
"I can't seem to understand what you mean." Sebastian pressed the boy up against the lockers. "Listen here, that 'brat' is my master, and if you DARE to touch him again, I will kill you."
Hikaru's eyes widened. "It's you then."
"Wha-?"
"GRELLE!"
That was when Sebastian's vison dissolved into black.
