Anime: Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Pairings: CielxSebastian... Still deciding for others...
Summary: Just read the ~Prologue~
Warnings: This contains YAOI which means boyxboy ( In future Chapters )... Ciel here is about decades or maybe a century old however, he still appears like a child. So to some people it might feel uncomfortable if he and Sebastian have a relationship so I'm just warning you people! This fic may or may not also contain lemon ( I'm still having second thoughts though... )
Has OCs... and maybe a bit OoC for Ciel and Sebastian cause, it's been years since they both had their former lives as Master and Servant so, surely there'd be changes...
Disclaimer: I do not own this anime nor do I profit in anyway while writing this fanfiction... It is a FANfiction... I only own Hellene and Collette...
Note: This fic is set about a century or maybe just a few decades after season 2 so people like Elizabeth, Ciel servants and other humans showcased in the original anime would be dead by the time the story starts. Of course character like Grell, Undertaker and other non-human beings will still be alive so I might put them in later chapters... There'd be OCs but I really didn't mean to put them there into a spot light positions since I'm not really a fan of them myself but since I needed them to make sense of the story here they are...
Oh guyz (Xx~~~xX) means the start and end of a flashback...
And also (...) means a times skip... Don't forget!
~Chapter 5~
"When the game has started this time… I'll be the one to say checkmate…"
~XxX~
Humans are very interesting. I often find myself attach to one like reading a book in which many people may get hooked. Of course this was my past time other than just forming contracts that is – when you have all time in the world what else could you do? Unfortunately, there came a time when humans became predictable and boring. Signing contracts were not the same anymore. People lust for money, power, knowledge, and title… it was all the same, over and over again. Humans getting greedier every second.
And then… there came Ciel Phantomhive.
Ah, yes. Ciel Phantomhive a boy with the opportunity to be given with a title, money, a successful company and knowledge all waiting for them to be claimed by him. Yes, he was indeed lucky. He was born contented and loved by his family. But when one is on top there is no going anywhere but rock bottom. The day came.
That faithful day came…
Everything crumbled into dust and ashes. He was stripped of his dignity, pride, innocence, and happiness. His own kingdom was burned and destroyed. His family murdered and he was kidnapped and was taken advantage of. He was full of hatred and rage. Eyes dulled after seeing horrors a child like him shouldn't have known of, but underneath this dull and beautiful eyes is a flame of hunger… hunger for revenge. All of these turned his innocent soul into something pure…
Pure black…
It was a soul any demon would die for. A soul full of spice and ingredients… the perfect meal. A soul which was offered to me. The boy accidentally summoned me –not that I mind- and formed a contract with me which states that I shall aid him in his journey to find revenge in exchange for his soul. Sealed by a mark in his left eye and my right hand, I must say it was the most interesting contract I have signed.
Being a butler wasn't all bad, albeit taking care of such an arrogant brat, I found myself somehow enjoying the brats company. I must say the despite his young age he was able to prove himself a formidable opponent in our little game of dominance. His pride and cruelty was enough to make a demon like me proud. However he still was human… and with a human comes conscience and heart, thus he showed weakness and care to the ones he loved. I myself don't understand such things for I am but a beast in true, nature I do not have time and space for such a thing that would weaken my senses. We had many times together and I could literally say he was the longest person I had a contract with.
In there lies the problem…
The worst of the worst happened. My young master turned into a demon out of some other silly brat's cursed wish. The feeling of working so hard for something and then it quickly slipped from your intense grip. It was frustrating and unfair… then again everything in life was unfair. I was devastated. As a demon he no longer has his soul, his soul that he so willingly offered to me was eternally out of reach.
Without his soul he was better off dead to me. I had no use of such burden any more. I felt so betrayed at the time I realized that I had to serve him for my entire life – and I assure you it is no joke to be in eternal servitude in exchange for nothing. And it was for those feelings of hatred that I never seemed to notice what was really important, I never noticed the other emotions and feelings I had for that boy. I never noticed his feelings… at least not until that crucial moment in my entire demon life.
~XxX~
With a calm and defeated sigh the butler gave in to the child's request. He steadily made his way to the opposite side of the king sized bed a silently stood next to the boy's limp figure. He carefully took of his gloves from his right hand and slowly revealed a mark on top of his palm. The mark was consisted with a pentacle in the middle with a circle outline. He affectionately caressed the boy's porcelain cheeks. A warm smile crept their way to Sebastian's handsome face.
"His name is Ciel Phantomhive. He is my master and I am his loyal servant."
Hellene skeptically arches one of her thin eyebrows. She herself is getting more and more curious of their relationship together it truly was intriguing. 'A demon working for a demon?' Nevertheless she remained quiet, waiting for the butler to continue.
"I was summoned by him and we made a contract, a contract that chained his soul to me."
Hellene was baffled. A soul? What is he talking about? Demons don't have souls, do they? That's ludicrous! There is no way… unless… it can't be!
"Yes, he was a human back then." he chuckled mournfully.
"Tell me, demon, can you read people's mind?" she grunted visibly pouting like the child she is.
"No, no I cannot read minds. However you just too easy to read with you expressions My Lady." he sniggered like the demon he was. It amused the demon how much Hellene's expressions and attitude reminded him of his master but, of course, no one would replace his beloved young master that's for sure.
From that point on the demon continued relaying his story to the girl containing details that he thought was not appropriate or is a personal piece of information.
…
"He turned into a demon?" she blurted out.
"Yes. After that I served him but treated him like a pebble in my shoe and thus I failed to realize that he too was pained by the way I acted so stubbornly. I blindly blamed him for everything and he took the burden and guilt. It… it wasn't his fault. Heh, It's all just sick irony."
Xx~~~xX
"It's all my fault isn't it… Sebastian." a dull sapphire eye turned to face his butler's cold carnelian eyes as he spoke.
It was a cold winter night. Two figures stand unmoving and still atop a snow covered balcony. Tonight was peaceful calm and quiet, there were no blizzards, nothing but soft and gentle chilling breezes. The boy slowly lifted his petite hand to caress the soft silk eye patch he was wearing on his other eye. He then turned his head and decided to look on the forest surrounding his newly built manor instead of looking into those dark, hate filled blood red eyes. He sighed heavily knowing that this discussion was going nowhere and was only one sided but he continued.
"It's been a year Sebastian and yet the only words you spoke to me were 'Yes, My Lord'. I know you hate me. I bet that just the thought of my existence repulses you. Sebastian you are the only person who knows me the most, you know that I am very prideful and arrogant. It is because of pride that the next thing I'm going to say to you would be quiet difficult to say." Ciel sighed for the umpteenth time.
The elder demon remained quiet although that did not stop his curiosity to peek out. The boy was indeed prideful. What is he planning to say that would be enough to hurt his pride. An uncomfortable silence enveloped the two demons.
It was harder then he thought it was. Ciel was now struggling to deliver his message. His heart was racing and he was trembling. He was afraid of rejection. He dealt with this all his life but being rejected by the only person who relies to not to mention the only person –demon- that he had, was another story. He had been already rejected for a year getting nothing but cold and dark glances and nothing more, it was making him crazy. He couldn't take it anymore…
"I'm sorry."
Ohh~! Cliffe! . You all can't wait to know what's Sebastian's reply right? Will he accept it? Or will he continue to deny his master? Only God knows what's gonna happen next... And of course me~! Stay tuned!
