She was floating. It was rather warm but not hot. Ciel could gradually feel her senses return to her. She could hear a baby screaming in room 302, the moans of a couple in room 501 and the birds chirping all the way to the other side of the island. The feeling came back in her limbs and she flexed her fingers experimentally.
Her eyes blinked opened and she squinted through the incredibly bright light. The lights dimmed and she opened her eyes normally. She was dressed in sleep shorts and a tank top. She kicked the covers off and stood up.
"Sebastian?" Ciel looked around and then spotted his shadow on the curtains.
She walked out to the docks and then stopped. Sebastian was standing with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in jeans and a tank top. His hair blew with the strong breeze and Ciel took a tentative step forward. Sebastian turned and then smiled.
"Did you...do it?" Ciel asked quietly.
"Yes"
Ciel smiled and then ran towards him. He caught her easily but they both tumbled into the water. Ciel eyes flashed red as she kissed Sebastian with a deep hunger she didn't realise she had. Sebastian kissed her back while tearing her shorts and tank top off her. Ciel fought out in the water but then soon realized that she didn't need to breath. Sebastian thrust into her and she gasped out in pleasure.
"Ciel!" "Sebastian!"
She held onto him tightly as they sank to the bottom in a haze of pleasure and weakness. Then Sebastian caught onto his senses and swam back up to the surface. He ran back into their room with his demonic speed and then laid Ciel down on the bed.
"Are you alright? I don't know what came over me. We shouldn't have done that just yet. You still need to get used to your senses and hunger" Sebastian dressed her in a robe and tied in securely.
"I'm fine, just a little weak" Ciel replied.
"You need to feed. Come" Sebastian urged her up and then dragged her to the room where the three men stayed.
"I can't just take their souls" Ciel said as Sebastian picked the lock.
"If you don't, I will" He pushed open the door and they crept inside. The only light came from a desk lap where the first man was slumped over, asleep.
"Follow your instincts. Breathe and then just eat" Sebastian said.
Ciel closed her eyes and then took deep breaths. She scented something tasty and licked her lips. She took a step forward; her eyes still shut and reached out her hand. There was a sickening crack and blood poured down the man's front. Ciel breathed out as she licked the blood away from her lips.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Sebastian gestured to the other two.
Ciel quickly finished them off and they went back to their room. She sat down on the bed and then wiped her bloody lips.
"You're mastering control pretty well. Many humans reborn as demons usually have horrible temper problems" Sebastian said.
"The first one's soul was lovely. The second's was okay but the last one was nasty" Ciel said.
"Depends on how much pain a person goes through, love. You ancestor's soul was simply delicious. He held so much hatred in his heart but his soul remained white and pure. It was like eating the sweetest thing on earth with a twinge of sourness" Sebastian replied.
"It's strange but not so different. The heightened senses are definitely a plus" Ciel commented.
"Claude and Alois called while you were asleep. They're enjoying themselves in Caledonia. Apparently when Alois heard that you were now becoming a demon, he began whining to Claude to change him. I don't know how that will turn out" Sebastian said.
"Did Luke call?" Ciel asked.
"No. I think he'll call tomorrow. He enjoys his time at the temple" Sebastian replied.
"Come here, love" Ciel held her arms out.
Sebastian sat down next to her and she wrapped her arms around him. Sebastian kissed the curve of her neck and then closed his eyes. Ciel chuckled as his long bangs tickled her neck like they always did.
"So we can't sleep. What should we do now?" Sebastian asked.
"How about we go check out that night club tomorrow night?" Ciel suggested.
"Oh of course. Dress decently. I don't want to fight perverts off all night" Sebastian replied.
"I'll fight them off myself" Ciel said.
Back in UK, Luke sat in a clearing at Seishun Gardens painting. He had taken the opportunity of everyone being asleep to sketch the trees with the light of the moon. He hummed quietly as he sketched and then heard a twig snap. He sat up straight and looked around.
"Do not worry, Luke, it is I" Yukimura sensei appeared from the trees.
"You scared me, sensei" Luke said standing up.
"You should be in bed by now. Choi came to me a few minutes ago saying you weren't in bed" Yukimura said.
"I'm not used to going to bed at ten. I usually fall asleep after midnight. The night was so beautiful so I decided to sketch" Luke replied.
"It is already three in the morning. Come, to bed with you"
Luke nodded and then went to Arran's room. Arran's room was farther away from the temple than everyone else's. Luke slid back the door and was immediately hugged by Arran.
"Kunimitsu, what-?" "I thought someone took you away. I was so worried, I even interrupted Yukimura sensei's nightly meditation" Arran said holding onto Luke tightly.
"Kunimitsu, I'm fine. I just went out to sketch the trees. I'm sorry I worried you" Luke said.
"Just don't do that again, okay?"
"Okay"
Luke lied down on the futon and then let his blush overtake his cheeks. He heard Arran snore quietly and then turned over. He smiled when he saw Arran's peaceful face and then reached out to trace his cheek. This was Luke's nightly routine. When Arran would fall asleep, Luke would usually trace his nose or touch his lips. There was this overwhelming pull that would overtake him.
Luke knew this feeling well but he had never felt it so strong for anyone before. The only person he had ever liked was a girl who was in the same class as he was. She had shaggy brown hair and deep brown eyes. She never bothered to do her hair and she was more a tomboy than the other girls who did their makeup or dressed in pink girly clothes. Luke had attempted to confess to her but she hadn't even given him the time of the day.
"Kunimitsu, I think I love you" Luke said and then he turned over with a bright red blush.
Arran smiled, his eyes still shut when he heard Luke's admission. He let out another snore and then turned over, the silly smile overtaking his face.
