Chapter 2: Hunger
"Sebastian..." Ciel mumbled, tumbling down the lone London's streets by himself. His butler had left him to his own devices a while ago, claiming that a demon as young as Ciel needed to learn to fend for himself rather than depend on their elders for all eternity. To Ciel, it was just an excuse to go and hunt for himself without a master turned demon annoyance following him around. Because that was all he was to Sebastian. An annoyance. Frowning, Ciel kept walking, searching for any souls that may be floating around. Sebastian had told him that he was not allowed to hunt fresh human souls without a contract but those that float around after a human's death were fair game unless a Shinigami found it first. Grumbling, Ciel nearly jumped in happiness when he saw a soul floating in front of him. It didn't particulary look tasty to him but a soul was a soul and Ciel would prove to his one hell of a butler that he was not a hopeless case. Annoying? Maybe. Hopeless? Not.
"Come here little soul. Come to your papa..." muttered Ciel, watching it with greedy eyes as he slowly but surely inched towards it, his senses on high alert, ready to feel danger or someone trying to steal his pray. Sadly for the young Phantomhive, just about as he was to devour the soul, a shadow danced over his vision and he found his butler standing beside him, eating his soul.
"Sebastian!" he growled out and jumped the older demon, frustrated that he couldn't tople him over. "Give me that!"
"No can do bocchan." Sebastian's voice was amused. "You see. I forgot to mention this. The faster hunter always gets his pray."
"You are naturally faster than me!" Ciel found himself complaining, still hanging off his butler's front.
"I presume you will need to learn how to be faster than me eh?" Sebastian spoke cheerfully and hugged his little bocchan when the child-demon pouted.
"Do not worry. We will sate your hunger somehow."
"You better..." Ciel grumbled, falling asleep in Sebastian's warm arms.
