Warning: Might be slightly gory…

His Butler, Human

Sebastian awoke to a light pounding in his skull. He wasn't sure what happened but he knew that he was in the manor. A though struck him as he sat up, albeit slowly. Why was he lying down? It looked like it was in the middle of the afternoon and he never used to indulge himself while on duty. He also could figure out where that insufferable headache had come from. With practices ease, Sebastian hoisted himself up off the bed. He stumbled a bit, regaining his balance and shaking off the cobwebs that seemed to be clouding his brain. What had he been doing? He assessed the situation. He had a headache and he was slightly nauseous, but how he couldn't remember consuming anything alcoholic. As a matter of fact, he couldn't quite remember anything in his foggy state. It was only when he realized this that he also noticed that he was in Ciel's room. He looked over at the plush bed in disbelief. Why couldn't he remember what happened yesterday, or the day before? The last thing he remembered was gathering things for Ciel's surprise. He decided that standing around that room wouldn't get him the answers he wanted so he turned on his heel and headed to the door. When he ascended the stairs he could hear what sounded like bickering he followed the sound the dining room and stopped dead in his tracts in shock.

"Old had…"

"Brat…"

Ciel scowled and glared daggers at the woman.

"All I want to know is what you did to Sebastian."

Sebastian started. He wondered why Ciel hadn't yet sensed that he was in the room; and why he was talking, more like arguing, with a human woman about him. He was going to clear his throat and alert them to his presence but the woman started to speak vehemently.

"I don't have to tell you anything, you brat. You have your precious butler back so now release me as you promised."

A sadistic chuckle left Ciel's lips and the woman had the decency to recoil.

"I never said that I would let you go," he said with complete cruelty in his voice as he glared at the woman.

"B-but I gave him back," the woman seemed to plead causing Ciel to laugh hard and cruel.

"Shut up," he said abruptly all laughter dying in his voice, "This is the last time I am going to ask you. What have you done to Sebastian?"

Sebastian was lost and he wanted answers. Surely Ciel must have been mistaken for he was right behind him. He decided that keeping quite wasn't getting him anywhere. He cleared his throat and, before anyone turned to look at him fully, stated…

"What in the world is going on here?"

Ciel's head whipped around and he stared at Sebastian. Disappointment seemed to emanate from him but he made no move show it.

"You're awake? How do you feel?"

Sebastian studied Ciel, taking in the horrid cloths he wore and checking him for injury for surely there had to be a fight for him to have been unconscious in the master's room.

"Other than the splitting headache, I feel fine, Young Master."

Surprise clearly crossed Ciel's face and he stared open mouthed at Sebastian.

"W-what did you call me?"

Sebastian looked surprised for the briefest of moments before he answered…

"Young Master? It is what I always call you is it not? Does it suddenly displease you?"

"N-no I j… I just didn't expect it to come from your mouth."

"Why ever not; it always comes from my mouth, Young Master,"Sebastian emphasized.

Sebastian looked on in shock as silent tears slowly poured down Ciel's cheeks and he adapted a smirk.

"…and you're now showing weakness in front of me too," Sebastian teased and Ciel's head shot to up.

They're eyes locked and Ciel glared into Sebastian's.

"Shut up," he managed to say full of the pride and arrogance of the earl he once was before his pride crumbled and he flung his arms around a very surprised Sebastian.

Sebastian looked down at Ciel and tried to judge what had caused this reaction in him before he hesitantly encircled Ciel with a hug of his own.

"This is unlike you my lord. Is there something wrong?"

Ciel seemed to stiffen and he gently pulled away from Sebastian to glare at the old woman tied up in the corner.

"Ah, this is what you did, how very disappointing. I thought that you might do something like this but I must say that I didn't think you had the guts. Not only did you take his memory of the last twenty years away you also kept him human. How very spiteful of you. Now, you shall return his true nature or things will get really ugly for you."

Sebastian stared in shock at Ciel, not only by his words but by the dark aura starting to surround the boy. Against his better judgment, Sebastian took a hesitant step back upon the way Ciel know looked. He knew that Ciel was a demon, but he remember Ciel as still being a fledgling. Never did he thing that Ciel could have power to rival his own. He smirked proudly 10 seconds. Ciel was no longer a child, no longer a fledgling, he was a full demon now and Sebastian was proud. A though struck him when he saw the old woman cowering in the corner and he boldly stepped in front of the angry young demon.

"Young Master if I may?"

The aura around Ciel shifted and he was once again how Sebastian remembered him. He looked at Sebastian for a moment before giving him consent to speak.

"What do you mean 'kept him human'?"

Ciel looked at Sebastian wonderingly.

"Have you not felt it yet?"

"Felt what master?"

"The human body you now possess?"

Sebastian looked at Ciel as if he lost him mind and knelt down to stare at the boy in the eye.

"I am a demon, Young Master."

Ciel looked at Sebastian, a pitying expression on his face before he stated…

"You are human Sebastian."

Sebastian didn't know what to make of his master's behavior.

"There is only one human in this room master," he stated and to prove his point he shot across the room with his inhuman speed.

Ciel stared at him in shock for a moment before turning angrily to the old woman.

"Explain," he bit out.

"T-The potion I gave him when I first started to house him is the cause of it. It used to be that it would wear off by the end of the day and he used to break a great deal of things because of it so I made it stronger. He was to get another dosage in three days, that is when the potion will wear off and you shall be able to sense his demonic presence."

Ciel seemed to consider this and decided to accept it though he still bit out…

"Is there any more surprises I should know about before you die?"

Sebastian stared at his master in shock. Surely Ciel wouldn't kill this pathetic old woman but when the woman snarled…

"You wouldn't dare…," Sebastian seemed to reconsider.

Ciel started to laugh evilly, his dark aura reforming with his menacing laughter. Sebastian stared for a moment before he spoke.

"What was it that she has done, master? What are you so intent on killing her?"

"She took you away, Sebastian," Ciel stated simply.

Sebastian was confused but he answered with…

"No, I believe I am right here."

Ciel snorted in anger but realized that his Sebastian, he marveled at that thought having expected to never to be able to say that again, didn't know what happened.

"Oh, I forgot. You do not remember that day. Not like I do."

Ciel sighed.

"To make a long story short; you gave me a present, you took me to a field of white flowers and we laid lazily in it for hours. It was your birthday present to me, Sebastian. Tell me you remember that."

Sebastian nodded.

"Yes, that was my plan for you for your birthday but I don't really remember going."

"Well we did do and I thanked you. We laid there together, I was truly happy. This woman," he spat as if it left a horrible taste in his mouth, "decided that just because she could she would ruin our happy time. I watched you blow up. I watched as the millions of tiny pieces that used to be your body floated down beside me and rested in a pile. I watched as the top half of the pile blew away in the wind. That was twenty years ago Sebastian, and I have been trying to avenge you ever since. She got away that night but she will not get away from me this time. I shall kill her and cover the walls with her blood. Though I'm debating on whether or not I want to make it painful."

Sebastian considered this and looked at Ciel. He strained to remember and just as he was about to give up his efforts a fragment of a memory flashed through his mind.

The woman with strawberry blond curls started chanting. He knew what the chant was and he tried to warn Ciel but it was too late, he felt his body get hot and he started too tingle. The last thing he saw was Ciel blank, shocked, expression before his world was shrouded in shadow.

Sebastian grunted; coming back to reality and clutched his head. His headache flared once again and he couldn't really thing straight. Before he could regain his composure memories flooded his mind and he could do nothing but clutch at his head in wonder. Ciel stared at him for a while; not sure how to react now that his demon Sebastian was now in pain. He finally decided that he should at least see if he was alright and he started to slowly walk to Sebastian. Sebastian was in the middle of a memory. It died down and when Ciel got close enough and before the young demon could react he found himself pressed into a warm body, equally warm lips pressed to his. For a moment Ciel was surprised and he was tense but gradually his body started to relax and he hugged the demon closer to him; wanting to feel more of him. The old woman blushed and looked away ashamed. It was clear that each cared for the other a great deal and only now did she feel guilty for splitting them up, but she would be damned if she told them that, or if she let Ciel take her life without a fight. She decided the best time to act had to be now while both demons were distracted and she started chant….

"Escucha mis palabras, escucha mi voz ..."1

Sebastian and Ciel ripped their lips apart and looked at the woman chanting on the floor. The woman's eyes had fallen closed and she continued to chant…

"Espíritus del otro lado ..."2

Sebastian stared at the woman in horror and didn't even realize when Ciel left his side. Before Sebastian or even the old woman could blink, she was perfectly gagged cutting off her chant. When she realized that she could no longer speak her eyes snapped open and she stared into glowing crimson eyes. She shuddered involuntarily. A scream died around the gag in her mouth as her arm was ripped none too gently from its socked and Ciel stared at her shaking body in satisfaction. He brought the severed limp up to his lips and licked some of the blood off. It tasted sweet with just a bit of corruption form the pain she no doubt was experiencing on her right side. Tears slowly ran down her cheeks and she stared wide eyed at the demon. Ciel smirked at her and turned to Sebastian.

"It appears that she still had some fight in her. She tastes sweet but when I am done with her she will taste like torture. Want to have at her," he asked and took another sample of her blood before throwing the useless limb at the wall behind him carelessly.

Sebastian's eyes flashed red for a moment before he was across the room holding onto the old woman's severed left leg. The woman screamed, not from pain but from surprise at the sight of another one of her useless limbs. For a moment she thought it was someone else's until the pain crept up her waist and assaulted her. Sebastian took a sample of his own of the woman's blood and cringed.

"That was not what one would expect from a sorcerer."

The woman shook her head in denial and Sebastian's eyes widened.

"…A Wicca, then?"

The woman nodded and Sebastian let out a hearty chuckle before he turned to Sebastian.

"Well, I guess my assumption that day had been wrong," He said turning to Ciel and watching as the boy's eyes widened in realization.

"You remember?"

"I do," Sebastian stated with a genuine smile on his face.

The woman made a gurgling noise and broke the trance that the two seemed to be in. Ciel frowned at the woman, who unconsciously ruined something else that was precious and tore at her ear. It peeled off slowly, like dry glue on a person's hands, before Ciel held it up triumphantly. The woman screeched and her body went limp. Ciel tsked, tossing the right ear to the side and heading to the kitchen muttering…

"Passing out, we can't have that now can we?"

Sebastian chuckled before turning to the woman and watching as her blood painted the carpet red. He laughed sadistically when Ciel returned with a picture of water and snorted when the water was dumped over the unconscious woman's head. The woman awoke sputtering and gasping for breath. For a moment she thought that she was drowning and sighed in relief when she realized that it was only water. He vision was still a bit hazy but it was gradually clearing. When it cleared she suddenly wished that she actually was drowning.

"Mph," the old woman chocked out and watched as the two demons laughed giddily at her.

"I surely hope that you are not pleading for your life," Ciel stated eyes flaring with an intense red.

"That would be unsightly for a Wicca," Sebastian chimed.

Tears rolled down the old ladies cheeks and she stared at her tormentors.

"What should go next Sebastian her eye or her tongue?"

The old woman's eyes widened.

"Hmm, I think her tongue would be great."

"…and why is that?"

"Well for one you could imagine that it is Alois Tracy. His contract was on his tongue if I am not mistaken."

Ciel hummed his approval before flashing the woman a sadistic smile.

"…and what do you think," he asked as if he was in a conference.

The woman shock her head frantically, not caring that her head was beginning to pound from the exertion; or that she was beginning to get rather woozy from the blood loss.

"You don't think I should take anything else?"

Again the woman shook her head and Ciel turned to Sebastian.

"Do you hear that? She doesn't want anything else to go."

Both men laughed and the woman frowned, aggravated by their humor. There was nothing to laugh at.

"Pity, this shall be so much fun then. I don't think I shall remove you gag to rip out your tongue though; I don't want to give you the chance to get away. I think your eye would be better. Sebastian," He said turning to the older demon, "Would you like to do the honors?"

A smile curled at the corners of his lips before he bowed, bringing his fist to rest over his heart and gave Ciel one of his trade mark bows.

"My pleasure, my lord…"

Sebastian knelt in front of the woman and she instinctively shut her eyes.

Sebastian mock pouted.

"Aw, you're no fun," he chuckled at himself before he went completely serious; "I would open those eyes if I were you. I wouldn't want to take your lid too."

When the woman appeared that she wasn't going to open her eyes Sebastian tsked and drove his thumb nail straight through the lid and pierced the old woman's eye. The woman screamed and made to pull away. Sebastian let her when he was sure that her eye would come off if she pulled back to hard. The woman did just that, she pulled back too hard and her eye popped free of its socket, the lid coming with it. A scream tore through the woman's throat; muffled by the gag and she slumped, passing out yet again.

Ciel tsked and Sebastian chuckled.

"What shall we do master?"

Ciel seemed to contemplate before walking over to the woman and slapping her harder than he intended. When the woman didn't budge Ciel laughed. He reached out, a hand on either side of her head. He grasped her head in his hands, lifted her slightly, and twisted. A cracking sound was heard before Ciel dropped the woman unceremoniously to the ground. He walked away from the now lifeless body. He smirked at the thought of her laying there; head twisted the entire way to the corner wall.

"How gruesome master, you broke her neck."

"Yes, well I though in death she shall feel no pain. The wasn't really a use for waking her and it would have been great to hear her scream while I pilled that slick tongue from its hold, but I know how fast her chants can get and I don't want a repeat of that night."

A thought seemed to strike him and he turned fully to Sebastian.

"Do you really remember the last twenty years?"

"I remember what is important," Sebastian stated and grabbed his master by the chin, "My favorite memory is where you tell me you never really got to tell me how much you cared for me.

A cherry red blush crept up Ciel's cheeks and he looked at Sebastian. Said demon was looking at him expectantly and Ciel swallowed thickly. He moved closer to Sebastian, a war in his head. Did he really want Sebastian to know what he truly felt for him? Was it worth it after all this time? The war in his head died down when he meat Sebastian gaze. A fleeting thought of 'should I tell him' passed through Ciel's mind as he pulled his renewed butler down and their lips locked in a searing kiss. When they pulled apart Ciel breathed out…

"I love you, Sebastian."

Said demon smiled a happy smile and pulled Ciel closer. He stated…

"I love you too, Ciel with conviction before pulling the demon in for another searing kiss. The last fleeting thought on Ciel's behalf was…

'I'm so glad to have him back.'
