Hey guys this is the next chapter to Who are We. I left a cliffy last chapter didn't I? Well now you get to see exactly what Sebastian's about to say. Okay so first off after I posted the chapter I saw that I made a lot of grammar mistakes, I don't exactly know why last chapter of all chapters did I have to do that. I even confused myself when I re-read it so sorry for that I'm thinking of re-posting it probably after this chapter to get the kinks out, but if I do I might change it a bit. We'll just have to see if I do. Anyways loved last chapters reactions so enough of the delay.

" Honored guests, It's a pleasure to be home here in Hell and it will be an honor to work with you all once more. For now though I have an announcement to make." Sebastian began. " As you all know and can very well see yourselves. I am finally home after two hundred years of absence. My absence has taken me many places through the years to exotic places with exotic animals and have had many contracts all varying from bland meals to great ones yet I haven't had the chance to have what could have been my best meal." He said making me smirk knowing it's me. " I'm afraid to say one thing though I must be leaving once again with my sister Desdemona to one of her newest mission. Before I go I would like to say one thing, to my beloved." He said making a pause. For some reason I felt a slight tightening in my chest, since when did he have a beloved?
I looked around to see everyone surprised to hear this new topic. I looked at one of the other tables to see Rowina sitting with a victorious smile on her face as if she's about the get a grand award. I look up towards Sebastian again and see his eyes are on the rest of the guest sweeping his eyes till they rest on Rowina's direction. I feel my chest constricting and tightening around my heart like thorns.
" I feel as if when I leave I'll be leaving something important to me unguarded and taken away from me. I want to stake my claim now to make sure that you know who exactly your messing with if you try to get anywhere near my kitten." He said in a calm yet threatening voice.
" Get on with it you over controlling freak." Axel hissed next to Sebastian.
" When I come back I plan on becoming mated to my kitten before my parents leave." He announced a collective gasp came form all sides of the dinning room. I looked up at him in shock as he stood there with that usual calm collective look on his stupid face. I looked over towards his parents who seem to have satisfied looks on their faces.
" I shall be announcing my bride when I return for now please all of you return to your meals." He said sitting back down. I swear he was suppose to announce who that was now, but apparently he had to back out. I leaned back on my chair and crossed my arms with an exasperated sigh giving up knowing it's really not my place. He looked at me with an arched brow.
" How are the people suppose to stay away from your " kitten" if you haven't announced who it is." I told him. He just chuckled as we both ate in relative silence.
When we got back to the apartment I was sitting down on the couch still thinking who was he talking about. "How come he's never told me about this? Is it because he' just came up with this now? Has he actually been planning this since the beginning? Who is he going to marry? Why hasn't he told me about this? What is he hiding from me." All these questions went through my head as I was reading my book. Sebastian came into the room changed into more comfortable clothes. He tries to talk to me but I just ignore him and go on reading my book. I feel a sort of heaviness in my chest as I look at him. He sighs as he grabs his own book and reads from across the room.
I sigh and head off to bed without telling him a thing. I know that this is suppose to be his last night here before he goes with Hanna to her latest job and comes back to marry. I lay in my bed just thinking what to do when he comes back and introduces his kitten to everyone. I toss and turn just thinking of what's going to happen and who the hell his Kitten is. That night just a little before four I hear someone enter my room as I'm faced away from the door yet ready to attack if that person tries to do anything with me.
The bed dips behind me as feel a warm hand run its fingers through my hair. I felt myself lean into the touch as I let out a sigh. The thumbs ran themselves over my cheek as I hear him speak.
" Please understand what I'm doing bocchan, hopefully by the time I come back your welcome to this plan. If not then I'm going to force you to. Only as a last resort will I do it though. I don't want you to finally fully hate me." I feel him caress my face before I feel something warm on top of my head. " I won't be gone long, and hopefully you haven't gotten yourself kidnapped. For their sake hopefully no one dares to take you away from me. Please be here when I get back. I want you to know who exactly is my Kitten. I want you to be there by my side when I finally announce my kitten to all of Hell. " He says in an excited and hopeful tone before leaving my room.
Later in the morning I wake up as usual and head down to the kitchen to fully make my own meal, usually Sebastian is there to help me cook but since he's gone I'm going to have to do it myself. For about an hour I struggled knowing when to flip the pancakes and how to cook an egg without fully cooking the yolk. I'm glad Sebastian let me practice cooking before since here I would definitely be hungry.
I heard running outside the door and did what Sebastian showed me and opened the door to hear Axel curse as he entered the room. " I hate you both so much right now." He huffed.
" Sebastian already left." I reminded him. He tsked and took a seat taking one of my pancakes and eating it.
" Well it doesn't matter if he left I still don't like you both right now." He hissed. Roxanne came in with a basket filled with muffins.
" Oh it looks like you already made breakfast." She stated putting the muffins on top of the table. " Well here's a basket of muffins either way since my brother isn't here to take care of you." She said. I nodded my head in thanks as I finished my meal.
We headed off to the office and went our separate ways. My mind was a bit off today still thinking what Sebastian's doing and what the heck he's planning right now. The paper work on my desk help me a bit as I drifted between that and Sebastian. Someone slammed my door open as I looked up about to scold Roxanne or Axel, but instead it was Rowina.
" Did you like what Sebby said last night?" She asked in a sing-song voice. I glared at her before I returned to my paperwork.
" Honestly Rowina I don't know what you're going on about." I huffed. " Now will you please leave my office, I still have work to do before I go out and practice with Ignatius and Jones." I informed her. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her make herself comfortable in one of my chairs.
" What, you jealous Cerulean?" she said in a mock tone. I looked up at her with an uninterested and sighed.
" What the hell are you talking about." I stated. She laughed histerically as if I just made the funniest joke in the world.
" Why, Sebastian's proclamation of our wedding." She said. I looked at her with wide eyes before I glared at her.
" As if, He would never marry the likes of you, twit." I tsked returning to my work.
" Oh but he will. You heard him Ciel loud and clear he is to marry after he comes home before Lilithe and Lucifer go on that little trip of their's." She smiled with glee. Sebastian already stated how he's uncomfortable he is with this woman to me, why is she telling me this? " Sebby and I made up right before the dinner. Just think when I marry him your out." She said. Of course her plans would start to unravel now.
" Leave you delusional fool." I said pulling my hand up and casting a spell towards her as she blocked.
" Sebastian would never actually marry something as stupid and delusional as you. He's to prefect for you and you don't deserve him." I yelled at her. I surprised her and myself for the sudden out burst. We glared at each other for a second before Roxanne came running into the room and slapped Rowina across the face.
" How dare you enter this room I thought, Benjamin already told you not to enter in here. This isn't even your post." She barked towards the girl.
" It's all that whore's fault!" She said pointing towards me as I threw another spell at her causing her to show scorch marks. I heard her skin hissing as she was still standing. It seemed that she was a fast healer which made me a bit pissed since she came in here just to give a delusional statement. That's only her opinion.
" Rowina your suppose to be with in the training arena right now training those fools. How are you a noble if you don't even do your job right. Not training those fools would spell disaster in hell since the angels are trying to find our doors in here. Would you really risk us just to you can rub it in Cerulean's face of an engagement that won't happen two weeks from now?" She growled towards her.
" He's mine you here me small fry mine!" She said as she retreated out as I threw another spell at her hitting her straight on the head. Roxanne looked at me with an apologetic look as she followed Rowina out the door to make sure that she actually did her job.
That's not true. Sebastian hates her guts there's no way she'll actually be the one married to Sebastian. He's to good for that hag. 'She doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as him.' I thought to myself for a second. " Yes but do you think he'll return the feelings?" I heard a voice in the back of my head say. I scowled for a minute. 'What feelings?' I told myself.
" Oh but don't you love him?"
Grr, now I'm mad I was on such a roll last month! I don't know why but this was a hard chapter to put together that and I had to make up a test that I bombed. I'm sorry if Ciel seems a little ooc right here, but there's a reason for that don't worry. I wonder what's gonna happen to Ciel while Sebastian's absent? You're just going to have to find out in the next chapter
