A.N- Your all going to think I'm mean. Once you read this your going to hate me. The reason is is I'm going torture poor Bassy. Not literally, but you'll get what I mean once you read this. I'd also like to point out that this takes place before Bassy fought Ash/Angela. Hope you like it!


"Young Master…" Tanaka started walking into Sebastian's room where Ciel could be found. "Yes Tanaka?" Ciel asked turning to face the other butler. "A letter just arrived for you." Tanaka replied.

Tanaka walked over to where Ciel was sitting and handed him the letter. It had the Queen's stamp on it.

The room was to dark to read a letter so Ciel decided to step out.

"Sebastian I'll be back in a moment. Do you need anything?" Ciel asked. 'Can't believe I'm serving my butler…' He thought with a sigh.

"No, my Lord…" Sebastian replied as he sipped on a glass of water.

Ciel stepped out of the room and opened the letter.

The letter read-

'Dear Lord Phantomhive,

The Queen is very upset about a string of murders that are currently happening in a town near London. She's requested your help. We hope to hear a reply soon enough. Also upon reply, you will receive information on the murders.

-The Queen's loyal servant, Ash.'

Ciel sighed. This would be a problem.

Because Ciel is still only a child he would have to take Tanaka with him. But then that would mean leaving Sebastian with the three idiot servants. They would surely kill the poor butler. But then he couldn't turn down the Queen's request either.

There was only one solution. Taking Sebastian with them!

This way Tanaka and Ciel both would be there to take care of him, and Finnian, Meyrin, and Bard all wouldn't be there to mess things up.

The only problem, getting Sebastian there. That would be hard on the poor servant because he's in no condition to travel. But Ciel wasn't about to leave him here.

No matter what Sebastian said he would force him to come. Sebastian didn't have a choice anyway, if he refused Ciel would just order him to come, as Master order's were always absolute.

Ciel spoke with Tanaka telling him his plan and instructing him to send a reply.

The next thing he'd need to do is tell Sebastian about the trip. Which was something he really didn't want to do. No matter how much he hated Sebastian, he still dreaded telling him as he knew he'd protest.

X_X

"What? A trip?" Sebastian asked. Ciel nodded. "I'm sorry to say Sebastian but I'm taking you with me." He claimed. "What? No!" Sebastian refused. "My Lord, I'm not feeling up to travel…" Sebastian protested.

"I know Sebastian, but what would you rather have? Me and Tanaka taking care of you or the three idiots?" Ciel asked. Sebastian sighed. "You and Tanaka…" He sighed sounding annoyed.

(The next day.)

Ciel sat in his study reading crime reports in London.

As he did, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Tanaka stepped in holding another letter.

"A reply has just come in Young Earl." Tanaka claimed handing Ciel a letter.

Ciel opened the letter and found information on the murder's.

'Murder's of Drug Dealer's eh?' Ciel thought. 'Why would the Queen be worried about that?' He asked himself.

Ciel sighed. "We leave today Tanaka. Pack my things, oh and Sebastian's also." Ciel instructed. "Yes, Young Lord." Tanaka said with a bow.

Ciel stepped down from his chair and our of his study. He walked down the hallway and to the door of Sebastian's room.

He opened it to find the butler again getting sick into his wastebasket.

Ciel waited for him to finish before telling Sebastian about leaving the mansion.

Soon Sebastian finished and set the wastebasket aside.

"D-Did you need something Young Lord?" Sebastian asked pain clear in his voice.

"I came to tell you we're leaving for the trip I told you about yesterday." Ciel replied. He heard Sebastian moan. "Very well…" He whispered.

X_X

Soon enough Tanaka had everything packed and loaded onto the manor's wagon.

He also took the liberty of preparing Sebastian a place in the wagon where he could rest on the way there.

Once Tanaka finished preparing the wagon, Ciel had Bard and Finny help Sebastian outside to the wagon.

Sebastian was reluctant the entire time. He complained about not feeling up to travel, how he felt, and other problems. But he did this mainly to aggravate Ciel as he wanted nothing but revenge on the child at the moment.

But once they got him settled, Sebastian fell asleep almost immediately and the complaining stopped.

Right before Ciel too got in the wagon he told Tanaka a request.

"Tanaka, try and drive a smoothly as you can. I don't want Sebastian to be to uncomfortable." Which Tanaka gladly agreed and they were off.

X_X

A couple of hours pass. Ciel too had nodded off like Sebastian. But that was soon disturbed by Sebastian's loud coughing. (Sebastian had woke up, and started coughing.)

Ciel, at first got mad, but upon looking at the poor butler his aggravation quickly disappeared.

Sebastian looked pale, weak, tired, and just miserable. At that moment Ciel started to feel bad for dragging Sebastian with them.

"How are you feeling Sebastian?" Ciel asked softly, carful not to hurt his butler's headache.

"Horrid…" Sebastian replied.

Ciel moved closer to the demon and crouched beside him. He brought a hand up and again felt Sebastian's forehead.

His temperature was the highest it had ever been. Probably from traveling.

"Sorry…" Ciel apologized taking his hand from the butler's head. "What?" Sebastian asked. "Sorry about taking you along." Ciel replied, averting his eyes. "I knew this would be hard on you. But still I didn't listen." Ciel replied. He barely sounded himself.

"Are you going soft Master?" Sebastian asked suddenly. Ciel looked confused. "What happened to all your hatred Young Lord?" Sebastian asked. "This is still part of finding your parent's murderer's. Don't loose sight of that. Even if I'm sick." Sebastian said coldly. "If you loose sight of that I'll be forced to break the contract." Sebastian stated.

The feel of the wagon changed.

The two fell into silence once again.

'Are you going soft Master?' Sebastian's voice was glued into Ciel's mind. 'Of course not! All I want is to catch the people who took my family away!' Ciel thought. What Sebastian had said angered him. Surely he would pay.

The wagon stopped suddenly. They came upon a small village.

"Master, I'm going to go buy supplies. Do you need anything?" Tanaka asked. "No!" Ciel said sounding angry.

He kept thinking of how he could make Sebastian pay for what he had said. But there wasn't much he could do to the sick butler. Finally he thought of something.

Ciel pulled out something from his pocket. It was a small paper, a map.

The map contained different marked paths. One of which was a short cut to their destination but they chose not to take it because it was a back road and thus very bumpy.

Ciel grinned to himself as he waited for Tanaka to arrive.

X_X

Soon Tanaka returned and Ciel got out of the wagon.

"Tanaka, I have a request. We are to take this route." Ciel instructed pointing to the path. "But Lord…" Tanaka tried to protest but Ciel cut him off.

"I'm feeling restless, so this shorter route would be better to take that the one we selected." Ciel explained. Tanaka nodded in reply as Ciel got back into the wagon.

X_X

The roads were indeed bumpy, very bumpy! And that left Sebastian feeling very nauseous. Which was Ciel's intention; his revenge on the butler for saying what he did.

Well, when Tanaka had set up the area for Sebastian he included a wastebasket for incase Sebastian felt nauseous on the way there.

Which now Sebastian was holding as he got sick once again.

While Sebastian emptied his stomach, Ciel sat with a smug look on his face. Which made Sebastian realize this was his doing.

But Sebastian took this as answer to his previous question which was 'Are you going soft Master?' As Ciel made it clear that he had not gone soft and that his hatred was still there and didn't disappear. Which just made Sebastian want Ciel's soul even more.

To Be Continued…


A.N- Your all going to hate me now! I'm so mean. And you know the part Ciel made Tanaka change the route? I hadn't even intended for that. It just kinda happened after a moment if thought. Please don't be mad…. Please Review!
