Hey what's up everybody! So there is two things I want to point out before I start the story. First, for those who I've comfuzzled with some of my stories... Or personality and way of doing things, I'm eccentric and sometimes don't plan out the whole story when I start writing. Second, I has a huge headache right now, which sucks, lol random, oh I also have a can of monster. Respond with your review or just review if you like monster! And do you know how hard it is to type how Kaede speaks? Yeah, really faking hard!
Warning: may(I said may) contain swearing I don't know yet, people out of character, annnnd you might be mad at me.
Disclaimer: I will unfortunately never own Kuroshitsuji, nor will I own Inuyasha.
Ciel's point of view.
"Sebastian, is this really necessary?" I asked holding the sheath of a sword, that had the sword in it, while my right hand loosely grasped the handle of the sword. Dressed in light and dark brown feudal era robes, kind of like Inuyasha's robes, I fortunately still had my eyepatch on my right eye.
"Yes, young master," Sebastian said calmly as he removed his tailcoat, folding it, and placing it in a bag before looking at me. "My lord, we are not in London anymore, if we walk around in clothes that are from London and not from this time, we would attract unnecessary attention. I doubt that would be of any help on our journey," He said as he untied his tie, continuing to undress.
"I guess you're right about that," I sighed, turning around so my back was facing him. "Gaining unwanted attention would be a problem, especially when we have to cross a good amount of villages to reach the mountains."
Flash back time!
"In order for ye to return home, ye need to go past at least seven villages with a vast amount of land separating them each before ye reach mount Dengen," Kaede said calmly, her way of talking started to get on my nerves. "There, ye will find a cave that used to rest a dragon. Now, water rests in the bottom of the cave and a water demon lives there, but ye need to remember. His younger sister is a fire demon and they tend to agree on everything together, but his sister lives in mount Kong(lol) the mountain that is to the east of mount Dengen. When ye persuade one they will give ye something to show the other sibling that they agreed on it, but it won't be easy."
"So what you're saying is just getting one of them to agree to help us, won't mean anything unless the other agrees as well?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. "How are we supposed to do that? Not everyone can be easily persuaded into agreements."
"Also ye need to remember there will be trials ye need to overcome along the way."
"That doesn't answer my question!"
"The answer to thy question is within this saying, (riddle maybe?)" She said.
Flash back end!
"Persuade one, yet not the other, fire and water complete opposites but alike in more ways than one. To get one, you need to get the other, only when one truly sees the problem in the puzzle can the answer be found. Two need to become one as you have faith in those closest to you, is what she said," I mumbled out loud to myself while Sebastian finished changing. "But I can't find what it means," Without me knowing, Sebastian walked up behind me, and bowed slightly.
"You will eventually, Ciel," Sebastian whispered in my ear making me jump slightly from surprise. Before I could turn around, Sebastian wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into is embrace. "You look rather... Tempting dressed like that, master," I started to blush, but before I could say anything, someone started to pound on the door.
"Are you guys ready yet, we don't have all day you know," Inuyasha yelled from the other side of the door, what a mood killer.
"Inuyasha! Stop being so impatient, give them some time," Kagome snapped at him suddenly.
"Hey, it's not my fault they're taking forever!" He yelled back as I shook my head.
"Let's go Sebastian," I sighed as he let go of me.
"Yes," Sebastian nodded his head once in agreement.
"All I'm saying is that you could at least give them more time to get dressed! I doubt they have ever worn anything from this time," She stated as I opened the door to the hut.
"Are you two always fighting like this? It's getting quite irritating to listen to all the time," I said harshly as I walked out the hut with Sebastian following behind me.
"We don't fight all the time, we actually get along rather well at times-" Kagome stopped talking when she looked at me. "Oh my god Ciel, you look adorable in that!" She squealed as Sango, Miroku, and Shippo walked up behind them.
"She's right you know," Sango said as Shippo jumped up on my shoulder. "You do look rather adorable in that, but the only thing that stands out a lot is your eye patch. It doesn't look like the ones we have here."
"Yeah you're right, Sango," Kagome agreed as Miroku walked up to me, leaning down, he got close to my face as if he was inspecting me.
"Wha-what are you doing?" I stuttered as I took a step backwards.
"Why does a boy your age wear an eye patch anyway, at the battle three days ago, you took it off and opened it. From what I saw, your eye was fine and you could see out of it perfectly, but it looked like it was a different color," Miroku said calmly as he stood up straight.
"Now that you mentioned it, I noticed that too, your eye was purple," Shippo commented jumping down from my shoulder.
"That's because... Um..." I was trying to find a way to tell them without telling them about our contract. "I... Um..." I continued to take a couple more steps backwards until I bumped into something and hands were placed on my shoulders. I looked behind me and up to see that I bumped into Sebastian. "Sebastian?"
"My lord," Sebastian said giving me a single nod. I turned my head back to the now confused group in front of me and sighed.
"Looks like I have no choice but to tell you the truth," I reached up and untied my eye patch, holding the eye patch in my hand I opened my eye, showing them the contract symbol on my eye.
"Woah!" Miroku stood there shocked as he stared at my eye as well as everyone else.
"How'd that happen?" Sango asked.
"After my parents died when my mansion burned down, I was taken by this cult that kidnaps children and murdered them. I was tortured and treated worst than you'd treat an animal, but when it was my time to to be killed, I summoned a demon. I made a contract with the said demon, in exchange for my soul, he would help me achieve my revenge on the people who killed my parents. This symbol marks that I have made this contract and that my soul is bound to the demon, meaning no matter how hard I try to run away, I can't ever hide. My soul is claimed by the demon, which means I am his until the contract is over and he devours my soul. In return, he will serve me and protect me until I have gained my revenge, also meaning I own him as well."
"But why would you make that kind of deal you can't get out of?" Sango asked sadly.
"And so young," Kagome added.
"At the time, I was willing to do anything, even sell my soul to the devil for anyone to escape from that hell. I didn't care what happened to me, the only thing I could hold onto was my hatred. It didn't matter that I would never have a happy childhood after I made the contract, but then again, I never had that kind of childhood being the son of the queens guard dog," I explained. "I made my decision, I do not regret making it nor have I wished I never made the contract. If it wasn't for Sebastian, I would never be where I am today."
"You made a contract with Sebastian?" Miroku said surprised.
"Yes, my master signed a contract with me in order to accomplish his revenge. Despite warning him about it, he agreed to it without hesitation. I have helped him do this without fail, but there was some... Complications along the way," Sebastian commented.
"But that's all behind us now, it's been a year since then and we've learned to accept each other again," I added stretching my arms above my head.
"What do you mean "accept each other again"?" Inuyasha suddenly asked.
"Well, I was turned into a demon against my will by another demon called Hannah after Alois ordered her to make it so no one could have my soul. After that... Well..." I looked up at Sebastian before continuing. "We didn't get along as well as we used to, it wasn't until Sebastian was about to die when I realized I how hard it is to protect something you can never have," I looked down at the ground as a sudden burst of sadness hit me. "I had helped him recover completely before I had freed him of our contract."
Flashback bananas!
"Master, you called me?" Sebastian said opening the door to my study as I faced the window, staring outside.
"Yes, I did," I sighed as I stood up from my chair and walked towards the window. "It has come to my attention that ever since I turned into a demon, you can't have my soul even though you've done your part of the contract and you've been... How do I put it... Angry that you can't have it. Believe me, if I could give you my soul right now, I'd give it to you without hesitation, but seeing as it is, I can't do that even though I want to..." I took a deep breath as I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall down my face. "The least I could do is give you your freedom, keeping you here despite that fact that you've done your part of the contract. Keeping you here against your will, isn't right since I'm a constant reminder of the soul you couldn't have for your next meal. There for, I shall give you your freedom..." I could hear my voice was about to crack as the tears I tried to hold back started to fall. Taking another breath, I decided to continue. "I here by free you from our contract, you don't have to serve me anymore, you're free to do what you please. I won't waste anymore of your time, Sebastian, but before you go, I'd like to say thank you for protecting me and putting up with a brat like me for these two years. That is all I wished to say, you may go now."
"Yes... My lord," I heard Sebastian say before I heard the door open and shut again. My legs gave way underneath me as I silently cried.
"It... It's done now... I won't ever see him again... Damn it! Why am I so weak?" I whispered to myself as I continued to cry. "I couldn't even tell him how I feel... Why must I let my pride get in my way? I'm so bloody weak, I didn't even notice how much he means to me until I bloody tell him off now I'll never see him or tell him how I feel... Good bye, Sebastian... I... I love...you," I sat there for a minute before I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. Getting back up on my feet, I sat back down in my chair, I took one last look outside before I turned my chair back around to face my desk, what I saw next surprised me. There in front of me stood Sebastian.
"My lord," Sebastian said calmly.
"Y-you're still here?... Why? I thought you'd love to leave this place, so why are you still here?" I said as I placed my hands on my desk while I stood up.
"I'm still here because I want to clear something up, something that you said."
"Alright," I sighed sitting back down in my chair.
"Young master, you were never wasting my time, nor were you a brat," Sebastian said as he walked closer to me, as he reached my desk he put his hands on top of it. "Also, my lord, don't ever believe yourself to be weak," My eyes widened, damn he heard me. "Most boys of your age are not as clever nor as strong will and determination, and certainly most of them would have never made a contract with a demon. Most men give in to vulnerability or pride, you don't give into either, and," He said walking around the side of the desk to me, leaning in close to my face as he placed his hand under my chin. "I would never leave my master, especially when I can spend eternity by my love's side," He leaned in closer and gently pressed his lips on mine. I was shocked, mostly at finding out he feels the same. He pulled back saying five words before getting back to his duties.
"I love you too, Ciel."
No more of this flashback for you!
"It turned out that Sebastian didn't want to go, and we get along better than before," I shrugged. "But enough of the past, we need to get going and-"
"Not until we find a substitute for your eye patch," Sango suddenly said. "Kagome, do you have some bandages in your bag we could use?"
"Yeah, I believe there is," Kagome said as she rummaged through her yellow bag. "Here you go Sango," She said taking the small roll of bandage out of her bag and handed it to Sango.
"Here," She said walking up to me. "We can use this as a substitute, just wrap it around your head over your right eye," She continued as she handed me the bandage. "It will look like you got an injury from battle."
"Allow me, master," Sebastian said as I nodded. He took the bandage out of my hands and started to wrap it around my head. When he finished, he tied the ends together before standing up straight again.
"Alright, let's go."
I hope you guys don't get mad at me for this chapter, I tried my best on it ya'know.
