A Second Chance

by half-breed vampire

"Are you sure though? You don't have to start a new life at the place you were dropped in." Sebastian told me. I gave a half hearted smirk as I stared at the ground, "A life as a servant? It might not be so bad... SebasXOc. Warning: Yaoi.

Chapter 26

~ASC~

Morning rose, the sun shined on the red sea, making it glitter like liquid rubies that came from the blood of the undead. Sebastian panted, all his energy was gone, he could barely move, "Is it...over?" Ciel asked as he came out of his hiding place. Sebastian dropped the oar and fell to his knees clutching his side, "Sebastian!" The demon had a pain-filled face as he said, "A death scythe blow is quite tough even on someone like me." Ciel looked at the wound; he doubted it was just that which was hurting him. Ciel sighed, knowing that Sebastian wouldn't say it, and he looked down at the chain that held the lockets, "Undertaker...what is his goal? I cannot comprehend, but..."

"As long as you hold those funeral lockets, I am sure we will meet him again one day." Sebastian said, "He did not seem to want to cause you any harm, but I'd rather not run into him again." Sebastian breathed in and out then he suddenly lurched forward, covering his mouth as he coughed up blood. "I've never seen you like this before." Ciel said.

Sebastian placed a hand over his heart, "I am deeply sorry for my unseemly state...I have failed as the Phantomhive family butler." Ciel stayed silent and he looked down at the boat. "He promised me..." Ciel said silently. Sebastian looked at Ciel, blood dripped down his lip, "I-" Sebastian froze, his eyes widen and he grabbed the oar, "Something's coming!" He stood up and looked around.

All he could see was dead bodies floating around. One of the bodies moved and it was pulled down in the water. A few more moved and were pulled down, Sebastian tightened his grip on the oar, threatening to break it and he saw fins peeking out of the water. "What the..." He walked over to the edge of the boat and brought his face closer to the water and he saw a large fish tail.

Hands shot out of the water, going at the demon butler. "Sebastian!" Ciel screamed as Sebastian was grabbed and almost pulled off. The butler struggled for a bit, and then remained still and Ciel wondered why he wasn't moving. Hands appeared on the boat and women with large colorful eyes came out, they had webbed hands, and scales decorated on their bodies all different colors like if they came from a rainbow. "Sebastian. What are they?" Ciel went to him and he gasped as he saw Sebastian being kissed by one of them curly blonde hair up to the base of its shoulders and Ciel immediately realized what it was, It's a siren!

"Sebastian!" Ciel grabbed the oar and raised it over his head to kill the creature. Sebastian was suddenly released from the kiss, he seemed dazed, as if he was dreaming, and Ciel dropped the oar as he fell to his knees. "Ma...tthew."

The women circled around the blonde, scales were on his face, his eyes were different now, they were almost like the Aurora Borealis, small shades of colors came through, but immediately disappeared into the hazy green mist, and it seemed like they were even moving, with white dotting in the eyes, as if they were a constellation. He looked at Ciel, tilting his head to the side, the feather from the earring dripped water as it pointed to the ocean, and his blonde hair swept to the side as well, it was longer for sure, most likely permanent changes and it seemed even brighter than ever, his average yet attractive looks have now been enhanced to almost angelic like murals one would see on stain glass windows or statues, his body was more lithe than before, muscle more defined and skin such a healthy glow compared to before, and he smiled with those same lips of his that seemed to be one of very little things left unchanged, "C...iel." He muttered softly, his voice still the same soothing voice as before.

Ciel held his hand out, it was shaking, he was unsure if Matthew was real or not. Matthew brought his own hand forward, they were webbed too, with a fin coming out of both forearms, and he touched the tip of Ciel's hand with his own. "Matthew!" Ciel grabbed his hand and held it tightly to his body. Sebastian's own hand went to Matthew, and he touched his face. "You're...alive." Matthew nodded and he looked to the women, he spoke in a strange language and they disappeared.

"You're a demon!" Sebastian stared at Matthew finally realizing the strange appearance of his mate, and the blonde looked at him, and just nodded once more, a sweet smile on his lips, and his eyes showed utter happiness, which was impossible to see on the old Matthew. "A...demon." Ciel repeated as he too looked at Matthew. Matthew smiled softly at them and he pulled himself onto the boat. His body hit the bottom of the wood and Ciel and Sebastian's eyes bulged out of their skull when they saw the flesh tone fish tail that replaced Matthew's legs. "You...you became a Merman?" Matthew laughed softly and he shook his head. The tail moved slightly and Sebastian placed his hand on it, touching the scales, his hand went up and he gingerly touched the mark below Matthew's waistline, just an inch or two under the bellybutton. It was an eight point star with two rings, an inner one touching the tips of the star, and an outer ring with twin coils crisscrossing on it, creating smaller circles around the outer ring, "How did this happened?" Sebastian asked.

"Buh-buh..."Matthew gripped his head as he tried to speak in English, "B-ook!" He finally spat out, and his tail fin started to split, and disappeared, becoming into legs. Sebastian slapped Ciel's eyes shut when he realized Matthew wasn't wearing any clothes, "How did you get naked!" He demanded as he removed the coat off Ciel and Matthew took it, a soft blush on his cheeks. He said something and Sebastian shook his head, "You couldn't swim with them on, that's your excuse." Matthew nodded to him as he buttoned the coat up. "My, oh my. You will have much to explain after this."

"O...ok." Matthew said.

Sebastian removed his hand from Ciel's eyes and Ciel looked at Matthew, "I'm glad...that you're alive." He said as a cold wind brushed passed them. Ciel started to shiver again and Matthew wrapped his arms around the freezing boy, "We must look pathetic to you, huh Matthew?" Ciel said as he held Matthew tightly. Sebastian smirked and looked at his wounds, "Yes...not to mention that I'm now useless." Sebastian collapsed into the seat beside Matthew and he laid his head on the blonde's shoulder.

Matthew mumbled something as he held them both and Ciel looked to Sebastian, "What did he say?"

Sebastian smiled at Ciel, "He said that when we get home, he will take care of us both for once." Ciel hm'ed at that, a small smile of content, "I'd like that a lot."

A loud fog horn was heard and they turned their head to see a ship going towards the lifeboats.

"It's a rescue ship." Ciel muttered, "Sebastian..." Sebastian looked at his master, "I can't have the Phantomhive family butler staying like this. Take a good rest once we get back to the manor. You did well today." Sebastian stared at Ciel, shook by his words, "Young master...please stop. For you to say such a thing..." He chuckled softly as Matthew rubbed his back, "I don't wish to see a storm after all this." Matthew laughed and Ciel glared at Sebastian, but he too could not help but laugh as well.

Matthew grabbed an oar and placed the paddle on the water, "Home?" He asked. Ciel nodded, "Yeah, home."

~ASC~

When they all arrive home, to say that the servants of Phantomhive were shock, was an understatement. They could not believe what they saw when Sebastian came home injured, Ciel sick, Snake having a small cold, and Matthew unable to speak English, and looking totally different than before. Ciel had ordered everyone to leave so he and Sebastian could recuperate, and to follow Matthew's orders.

Matthew tried his best to tell them what to do in broken English, and they at least understood him to do as their told.

Matthew went straight to Ciel's room and he bathed the child with warm water, and dressed him. He then brought him soup that he, himself, made and Ciel ate it all. "Now, sleep." Matthew said as he took the empty bowl from Ciel's hands. "Matthew..." Ciel called to him. Matthew stopped and turned his head to Ciel, "Can you...stay with me...till I fall asleep?" He looked away, a light blush on his cheeks and Matthew smiled and nodded as he waited next to the bed. "I meant next to me...please." Matthew oh'ed and sat on the head of the bed, "Not that far silly." Ciel chuckled and Matthew chuckled softly as well when he realized his mistake.

Matthew moved closer to the bed and Ciel wrapped his arms around his waist and buried his head into his stomach, "I thought...you left us." Ciel's body started to tremble as his hands gripped Matthew's shirt tightly. Matthew smiled sadly at Ciel as he ran his fingers through the dark blue hair. "Sorry." He whispered. Ciel tried hard not to cry, as Matthew softly hummed and held him, till the boy fell asleep by his side.

Matthew laid a kiss on Ciel's forehead and he gently laid the boy on the bed, and drew the covers up to his shoulders. He grabbed the bowl and left the room. He passed Maylene almost falling off the stairs that she was cleaning, Snake using his snakes to catch the mice, Finny who was trying to fix a bust he broke, and Bard who almost set fire to the kitchen once more. He left the dish in the sink and went straight to Sebastian's room.

"Sebastian." He knocked on the door and heard painful grunts. He opened the door and saw that Sebastian was trying to go back into bed, "Sebastian!" Matthew frowned at him and closed the door shut. "Will you believe me if I said that there was a mouse?" Sebastian smiled weakly at Matthew. Matthew just gave him an incredulous look and forced him to go back into the bed.

"Have you remembered how to speak correctly yet?" Sebastian asked as Matthew pressed his hands on Sebastian's wound, trying to stop it from bleeding again. Matthew shook his head; a melancholy aura seemed to surround him. "It's alright; I can guarantee if you just read a few books on the language, you'll be able to speak it with ease. Here," Sebastian moved Matthew's hands off of him and he pointed to his desk, where there was a stack of books. "That is why I was out of bed, thought you might want to practice for a bit." Matthew smiled at him and gave him a light kiss on the lips.

"Remember this Matthew, a few hours of practice, is equivalent to 5 months. For a demon though." Matthew nodded to him and set to work on the books. It wasn't until it was 3 in the afternoon that Matthew closed the books and looked back at Sebastian who was playing with Midnight. The cat had snuck in through the window, her tummy bulging and showing that she was pregnant. "You think if we ask, he'll let us keep the kittens." Matthew shook his head, "No, he would not. You know that."

"Meow~" They both stopped and looked at the open window; a large orange and white cat with a black spot on his face was on the window sill. "Oh, we have a visitor." Sebastian said. The cat meow again and hopped into the room. Matthew went over to the cat and lifted it up gently, "It's a male. And he's quite big." The cat meow at Matthew and lightly swatted at the feather, "How cute!" He softly laughed as he scratched the cat's ear. Midnight meowed and leapt from Sebastian's hands, to the floor. The male cat did the same from Matthew and both cats rubbed against each other, obviously mates. "So this is the one." Matthew whispered as he bent down to them, and petted them. They purred and Sebastian stared down at them, "Can we at least keep that one?" Matthew laughs and shook his head, "You really love cats, don't you Sebastian?"

"That's not all I love." Matthew blushed, a small smile on his face and he touched one of the black spots on the male cat's fur, "We'll call you Mr. Dots. Is that fine with you?" He asked the feline. The cat just purred loudly like a lion, and just hopped out the window, Midnight following after.

Sebastian smirked at this and looked at Matthew, "Your English is good as new, but now comes the hard part."

"What do you mean?" Matthew asked as he sat on Sebastian's bed. "Your eyes, hair, nails, teeth, and even your body will show that you are different from others." Matthew touched the parts that Sebastian said, even looked at his image in a mirror, and he noticed that his eyes could never be human like, his nails were black, his hair had grown up to his shoulders, and his teeth held sharp fangs, not only that his height had improved by slightly, before he was two inches less than Sebastian, now he was an inch away from the other's height. "All you have to do is will it, Matthew." Sebastian told him.

Matthew closed his eyes and did as Sebastian said, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was still the same. "Come here." Sebastian held out his hand and Matthew took it. He pulled the blonde down to him, one arm wrapped around his waist, and with his other hand laid it over Matthew's forehead and he closed his eyes. The shadows seemed to move towards them, and it surrounded Matthew, and when they disappeared, the Matthew of-before, was in Sebastian's arms. "There."

"Thank you, now...let me help you." Matthew twisted around Sebastian's arms, until he was sitting on the injured demon's lap. "My oh my Matthew, I love how eager you are, but as you see, I'm out of commission for a while, though I appreciate the thought." Matthew blushed and took off Sebastian's upper clothing, "I'm going to heal you."

"How?"

"I told you before; I'm the book...kind of like Soma Cruz from the Castlevania game." Matthew nipped his thumb and held his hand over Sebastian's wound. The blood moved and made a large red plus with a thin circle around it, and it started to heal Sebastian. "Then, if you're the book...are you also Matthew?" He didn't look up to him, his eyes seemed to be staring at nothing, but the wound till he finally spoke, "My soul...it is so small, like a snowflake. That was all that remained of me, so I'm a little bit of me, and even a little bit of you, and a whole lot of the book." Sebastian froze at his words and his arms wrapped around Matthew's neck and he whispered to the blonde's ear, "I'm so sorry, I-I...if I had known." The wound closed and Matthew wrapped his arms around Sebastian's back, "No...You saved me."

"What?" He asked.

Matthew smiled and he said, "The small bit that was left... it was the piece that you held with your own soul, which you cared for when we were bonded before, it was what had brought me back."

"Then how? Your soul is incomplete; your body wouldn't be able to last."

"That's where the book came in. It had to merge with me, the book had fallen into the water, the seals were being destroyed, if they wanted to live, they had to merge with me."

"But souls cannot merge together without a second party."

"T-that's a secret Sebastian."

"I see. Then, you are fine?"

"I'm far from fine, but I'm glad to be back with you." Sebastian smiled softly at him and Matthew gave one back, "Now flip over."

"Huh?"

"I said flip." Matthew grabbed Sebastian by the shoulders and he flipped the demon on to his stomach, "What are you doing?" Sebastian winced as Matthew touched the wound on his back. "I could only heal the front part; I still need to heal the back." Matthew inspected the wound, in case the spine might have been damaged. "You're so rough; I thought you were supposed to take care of me." Sebastian chuckled, but Matthew didn't respond. "Matthew?"

Matthew stared at the blood, the scent was surrounding him, instead of it being like iron, it was a strange scent, like spice cinnamon, and it made his mouth water. He felt his fangs growing and he licked his lips. "Matthew." Sebastian turned his head to see him and saw as Matthew dipped his tongue into the wound, "Gah, Matthew! What are you doing?" Sebastian grunted as Matthew opened his mouth wide, his eyes narrowed like a predator that's found its prey. "Matthew stop!" The blonde froze at Sebastian's words and he covered his mouth with his hands, "I-I don't know what came over me! You just smelled so..." He bit his hand and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'll control myself. Sorry." He held his hands over the wound and he healed it completely. Sebastian twisted under Matthew and looked up at him, "You were trying to eat me." Matthew turned his head away, not wanting to see Sebastian, "Are you hungry?"

"Y-yes." He touched his stomach, "It feels like I've haven't eaten for months."

"Were you hungry, when you were surrounded by the dead bodies?" Sebastian asked. Matthew nodded, "I...I even took a few bites out of them. But it didn't fill me up, and then you...you smell so good." Matthew bit back a moan as he tried to rub the blood off his mouth. "What about the others here? Did you react to them?"

Matthew again nodded, "Though, they don't smell as good as you, except...perhaps Ciel. He also smells good, but I was able to control myself with him!"

"You're an omnivore."

"Huh?"

"You're able to eat both humans and demons, flesh-wise though."

"Is-is that bad?"

Sebastian shook his head, "It's alright. Don't worry about your hunger, I'll find you some food that you'll like to eat." Matthew nodded and he lay down beside Sebastian and placed his head over Sebastian's heart, "Am I...a freak?"

"No. You're not. It's understandable, right now, you are like a newborn. You have much to learn Matthew, and I will guide you, if you'll let me." Matthew kissed Sebastian's hand and he said, "Only on one condition."

"Anything."

"Restore our bond, please~"

Sebastian didn't even wait a second, as he rolled Matthew under him. His nails grew and with his index finger he slowly sliced the buttons off and pulled the shirt away from Matthew's body. He touched Matthew's left breast where the mark was faintly seen on the soft skin and muscle. He brought his hand up to his mouth and he bit into the palm of his hand, the blood pooled in it and he let it fall on Matthew's chest, "We shall do this right, as it should have been." He traced his star over Matthew's heart, and he pressed his palm on it. Sebastian pressed his lips to Matthew, and led a trial of kisses down the blonde's neck, to the marking under his belly button. Matthew gasped softly as Sebastian bit it, and he used Matthew's blood to create the mark over his own heart. "We are one...and we will remain together, through this bond I will go through the ends of the earth to piece our souls back if they should ever break again, and god and the devil forbid this will happen by my words alone." Sebastian said softly, his fingers softly rubbed the small wound and he pressed his lips to Matthew's, the kiss pulled at their souls ripping them in half, and finally merging together.

Matthew sighed happily; he was finally able to feel Sebastian within his heart again the other's very presence calming his slightly chaotic mind. "Sebastian," Matthew said softly. Sebastian looked at him and Matthew wrapped his arms around his neck. "My body is feeling strange now. I…" He blushed and he shyly looked up at Sebastian, "I want you badly." A smirk came to Sebastian's lips and he tucked a lock of yellow hair behind Matthew's ear, "Then. I won't make you wait any longer." His hand went down Matthew's chest, lightly skimming the soft belly, and his fingers hooked onto Matthew's pants, and he slowly removed them. Matthew's blushed increased, but his eyes watched Sebastian's every move.

Sebastian chuckled deeply as he stroked Matthew's thigh, "You're not worried about the pain after?" Matthew shook his head, and he touched Sebastian's bare chest. "I'm more worried about you?" He trailed his hands down Sebastian's abs and unbuttoned the pants. "Me?" Matthew nodded and he slipped the pants off of Sebastian. "It still hurts right? Will this affect you?" He looked up at him, his hands pressing on where the wound use to be, and Sebastian scoffed, "Well. We will never know unless we try. Right?"

A corner of Matthew's lips turned upward and he wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck. "Right." Sebastian pressed himself against Matthew and slowly grinded against him. He nipped Matthew's neck, and the Blonde gave off small moans as he moved his hips against Sebastian's, both their hard lengths rubbing against each other. Sebastian left butterfly kisses on Matthew's jaw line and he whispered into his ear, "Do me a favor," Sebastian touched Matthew's lips, "Lick these for me." Matthew nodded, and licked the digits, he wrapped his mouth around them, sliding his tongue between them, and lightly sucked on the fingers. Sebastian smirked as he watched, and he grasped Matthew's manhood and gave it a small squeeze.

"Mm!" Matthew groaned and he bucked in Sebastian's hand. "You look ravishing Matthew." Sebastian roughly rubbed the tip of Matthew's member, and he pulled his fingers away, "Ah. You left my fingers so wet." He chuckled and he released Matthew, the Blonde moaned in disappointment, "Sebastian, please." He begged.

"Patience, patience Matthew." He slipped one moist finger into Matthew's hole, and received a small groan approval. He smirked at this and slipped another finger in, slowly massaging and scissoring the small hole. Matthew's back arched and he let out a loud groan, "Sebastian~" Sebastian smirk grew bigger as he pressed on the small muscle, causing Matthew to pant and squirm, "You like that?" Sebastian said.

"Y-yes!" Matthew breathed out.

"Seeing you squirm like this is making me feel neglected." Sebastian pulled the fingers out and he grasped Matthew's hips and hoisted them up, "I'm not holding back. Just so you know?"

"Sebastian, hurry up or I'll force you on your back and take you myself~" Matthew growled softly, his eyes turning into slits as he licked his lips, his inner demon slowly taking over. Sebastian grinned madly, taking Matthew's words as a challenge, and he thrusted himself in. Matthew gasped and threw his head back, his fangs growing, "Se...bast...ian." Sebastian groaned at this and started moving in and out. Matthew gripped Sebastian's shoulders, his claws digging in, "Faster." He panted as he rocked his hips with Sebastian.

Sebastian obliged and he picked up the speed. His hand grasped Matthew's erection and pumped him in the same rhythm of his thrust. Matthew's legs tightened around Sebastian's waist, as his climax came nearer and nearer. "Sebastian~" Matthew mewled, "I'm so close~" He whispered. Sebastian grinned and placed a kiss on the five star seal over Matthew's chest, "Come for me Matthew~" He bit the seal and Matthew threw his head back in pure ecstasy, his claws dragged on Sebastian's back, and he screamed, "Sebastian!"

Sebastian gasp as the walls of Matthew's tightened around him, and he spilled his essence in to Matthew's hot cavern. The black hair demon stared at Matthew, his bruised pink lips were parted, a light pant coming from them, his eyes were hooded as they stared straight at Sebastian, and his marble skin was flushed. "You look so~ beautiful Matthew, though it was short I am glad we don't have to hold back anymore~" Sebastian said as he lay down next to Matthew.

"...ore..." Matthew moaned inaudibly, the pleasure still coursing through his body.

"What was that?"

Matthew crawled on top of Sebastian and started placing love bites on Sebastian's lightly tanned skin, "I want more~"

"More?" Sebastian wanted to slap his forehead for the stupid question; he forgot that Matthew was now a demonic being, so his stamina is much longer than before. Matthew's kisses trailed up Sebastian's neck and he started to aggressively grind himself on Sebastian. "Ah, Matthew!" Sebastian gasped and looked at his mate. His eyes remained their demonic way, and a soft growl was emitting from the Blonde's lips, "I want you to fuck me again Sebastian." Sebastian blinked in surprised, Matthew never being one to say such things, and he sharply hissed in pleasure as Matthew slipped himself onto Sebastian's semi erection. "Matthew, you're losing control of yourself." Sebastian groaned as Matthew started to ride him, the blonde panting his name through his fanged mouth. Sebastian's own control was slipping and he rolled Matthew underneath him and rammed into him.

"I will always top! Remember that!" Sebastian growled as he pulled out to his tip, and thrusted into Matthew.

~ASC~

Maylene's fist was hanging in the air, as her face was painted red. She was in front of Sebastian's room, and could hear everything that was going on inside. Bard came over to her side, and he said, rather loudly, "Oi Maylene, did you ask Seba-"

"Ssh!" Maylene hissed as she pressed her hands over Bard's mouth, "Not now! He's uh...uhm...just go!" Maylene pushed Bard out of the hallway, "Ok! But can we at least ask Matthew if we can make dinner!"

"No! He's busy also!" Maylene shouted, her face turning even redder.

"Huh?" Bard raised an eyebrow, not understand anything she was saying. But the red-head just shook her head and forced him far away from the hall, all she could think was, Really Sebastian, aren't you injured!

~ASC~

The new crescent moon shined down on the two lovers, their bodies on the ground, with the sheets messily strewn across the floor, they were exhausted, and in each other's arms. "We over did it by a bit." Sebastian said as he stared at his broken bed, his pillow ripped to pieces, even the wood was clawed apart. Matthew blushed and buried his face into Sebastian's chest, "What has gotten over me!" He winced in pain; his backside was hurting, though Sebastian's was probably worse than him, seeing as Matthew used his back for a scratching post. "You still haven't quite gain control over your other side... Though, I really didn't mind." Sebastian snickered, a perverted grin on his face.

Matthew slapped his hand on Sebastian's stomach, causing the older demon to groan in pain and he shouted, "You idiot!" He tried to stand up to leave, but ended up falling on Sebastian, "It hurts so much!" He cried. Sebastian rubbed Matthew's back and whispered, "I'm sorry I was so rough. Let me fix it."

"You can fix this?" Matthew asked as he looked at him.

"It's not something I really want to do, but yes I can. Hold still." Sebastian wrapped one arm around Matthew, and with his other hand he touched Matthew's forehead with two fingers, he touched his own forehead, and repeated this till the pain was gone from Matthew. "I feel so much better!" Matthew sat up and smiled, "Wow, no pain at all." He looked down at Sebastian and stopped, "Sebastian?"

The look on Sebastian's face was pain filled. He gave Matthew a fake smile and just stayed stiff as a board on the ground. "Sebastian, are you fine?"

"Just. Peachy." He said through his gritted teeth, the smile still plastered on. Matthew frowned and he pushed Sebastian, "Oh shit!" Sebastian grunted in pain and he flipped over to his stomach, "This is the pain you felt!" He said his eyes wide and staring at Matthew, "Yeah. Why do you think I wanted to avoid sex after the first time?" Matthew chuckled then stopped as he stared at Sebastian, the scent of his lover was getting to him again, and he felt his fangs grow, "Sebastian, I might end up eating you if I don't get any food in me."

Sebastian gave a weak laugh and he said, "The thought of you eating me actually turns me on, but the pain is too much for me to even do anything for it." Sebastian lifted himself off the ground and he grunted in pain, "Sebastian don't move if it hurts so much!" Matthew said. Sebastian shook his head and stood up completely; the shadows circled around him, and covered his body. They disperse in just seconds and he was fully clothed. "I'll bring you some food. Just wait here for me." Matthew nodded, smiling at Sebastian, and he said, "You don't have to prove anything to me."

"I'm not! I want to feed you!" Sebastian went to the window and left off into the night. Matthew smiled and laid on the ground, "I really can't believe we did it twenty times." He blushed and covered his face, "How embarrassing." A delicious aroma filled the room and Matthew looked towards the window.

Sebastian was holding a bloody unknown limb in his hand, and his fangs were peeking out from the ruby stained lips. "What is that?" Matthew asked, amazed that Sebastian found food so quickly.

"An arm or a leg...don't worry about where it came from." Sebastian went to him and placed the limb in front of Matthew. "Is it the right kind?" He asked. Matthew gulped and hesitantly licked some of the blood, it tasted divine, "It's perfect." He said as he grabbed the arm and he bit into it. I'm eating a limb, whether it's human or a demon's, I don't know, but I'm so hungry that I don't care. He thought.

Then eat, my mate, eat as much as you want. Sebastian brushed the hair away from Matthew's face and he pulled the blonde onto his lap, and watched Matthew rip the muscles off of the bone. After a few minutes, Matthew threw the meatless bones away and looked at Sebastian, blood caked his mouth, and he twisted around Sebastian's hold, his legs wrapping around Sebastian's waist, "Are you still hungry?" Sebastian asked as he rubbed his cheek against Matthew's, the blood smearing on both faces. "No, I just wanted to be held by you." Matthew whispered.

Sebastian smiled and pulled Matthew into a deep kiss. I love you. They both whispered as their bodies intertwined once more.

~ASC~

I stared at the night sky, in a matter of minutes the sun will rise up. Today was Easter Sunday; I was told that today was going to be a surprise. Arms wrapped around my waist and Sebastian laid a kiss on my neck, "Come, we have much to do." I smile and followed him inside. We both worked swiftly, he made breakfast, and I placed the decorations around the house. There was a knock on the door and I went over and opened it. Lady Elizabeth rushed in and I escorted her inside. "Is Ciel ready?" She asked me.

"No, not yet. But I'll go tell him."

"Wait!" She took out three bunny ears and handed them to me, "Ones for you and the other two are for Sebastian and Ciel. Make sure they wear it!"

"Yes, my Lady." I bowed to her and went straight to Ciel's room. The young lord was currently reading the paper, I've already read it before him and he frowned and his hands clenched on the newspaper, "Still the same news?"

"Don't be mad because that man is still alive." By that man I meant the Viscount of Druitt. He was found on a small make-shift boat hanging on a cross, probably the only good news on the paper, was that they found Johan's father on one of the rescue boats. Ciel frowned deeper and Sebastian just smirks as he poured the tea, "It was a rather terrible maiden voyage wasn't it?" I slipped the ears onto his head, he gave it a brief look and just smiled as I slipped my own on, "As I feared, by the time we returned to the mansion you were quite ill. It was rather tough, but it seems that life has returned to normal." Sebastian placed the tea in front of Ciel, and he just glared at Sebastian.

He picked up the teacup and took a small sip, "Normal, huh...now that you mention it, Sebastian. Exactly what about that is normal to you?" He pointed to the bunny ears on him and I laughed, I suppose they could have been black to match him, but then he wouldn't look cute. Sebastian raised an eyebrow as the smirk grew into a smile, he heard my thought it seems. "Since today is Easter we were all ordered to wear these by Lady Elizabeth."

"It's rather disturbing to look at..." Ciel murmured. I hid my laughter behind my hand and went to Ciel's side, "I see...indeed, she's been noisy since morning, but what exactly does she expect us to do today..."

"Well then, if you have finished breakfast, I was told to take you to the second floor. Let's go." Sebastian said.

"Wait, Lady Elizabeth told me to make you wear these." I took out his pair of ears and he glared at them as if they were the root of all evil. "Ciel, come on, be a good boy now." I stalked over to him and he backed up, a nervous look on his face, "If you put those on me, I'll send you to the Americas far away from Sebastian and you can't be together at all."

"Like that's going to-"

"Stop!" Sebastian snatched the ears away from me, and crushed them, "Sebastian, aren't you being a little to ridi-Ah!" Sebastian wrapped his arms around me, and refused to let me go, "That's better." Ciel smirked and he started walking out the door, "Come." He ordered.

"Sebastian, let me go." Sebastian just threw me over his shoulders and started walking after Ciel, "I will not let people see me like this!" Sebastian smirked at my words and squeezed my butt, and I blushed candy apple red, "Sebastian!" I shouted. He was laughing inside his head and I slapped his back, quite hard, since he flinched.

"Sebastian, if anyone sees me like this, I swear to god I won't ever stay with you at night, ever again!" Sebastian paused and he sighed, "Fine." He let me down and I straightened my clothing, "Good." We followed after Ciel. We opened the doors for him and his eyes grew wide at the people in the room.

"Ah! Finally!" Lizzie shouted, her brother glaring at Ciel from behind his sister. "You're late, Ciel." Soma said, with Agni by his side. Behind those two was Maylene, who was trying to get out of Ms. Nina's arms, and Tanaka, who was sitting down, Snake was behind the two girls, curious on what was going on, Finny behind Edward, and Bard on the side, smoking another cigarette.

"Why are they here!?" Ciel stuttered. Elizabeth rushed over and shoved an extra pair of ears on him, "I thought we could celebrate Easter together! Though big brother came of his own accord." The brother shouted at this, but he was ignored.

"We have a different faith, but we can celebrate with you." Agni said.

"So? What is this Easter Holiday?" Soma asked.

"It's a holiday-" I covered Sebastian's mouth, the now-it-all needed to let other's speak, and I said, "It's a holiday were we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after he was crucified." He licked my hand and I yelped in embarrassment and released him. He cleared his throat and continued talking, "On this day we line the tables with food made with plenty of eggs, milk and butter. We also play games with colored Easter eggs such as the egg hunt and egg tapping. It's also become popular to exchange cards that have Easter bunnies on them."

"And, and!" Lizzie shouted, "Easter is also a time when everyone gets dressed up in new clothes and hats!"

"What!" Soma shouted as he looked at his own clothing, "I had no idea, so I came in my regular clothes..."

"Fufufu. That must be my cue?" Nina smirked and she shouted, "Let's unveil the new spring collection... of Nina Hopkins the tailor that makes the season!" She forced all the men to change, even me for some reason, and we all came out. Ciel looked like a little master should, Edward, hilariously enough, looked like a 'cute' sailor, Agni looked like a coach men (Well to me), and Soma looked like, surprisingly, an English gentleman. I looked down at my own clothing, it was a pure white outfit, only the pockets having checker black on them, with black buttons, and a tie also checkered, with a red rose in the breast pocket, she told me it was because I always wear white clothing and the ruby earing with Sebastian's black feather that she got this idea.

You still look dashing. I blushed from Sebastian's compliment and I touched the feather gingerly.

"Wah! Everyone's so cute!" Lizzie clapped her hands as she bounced up and down happily.

"Excellent! Gentlemen really should be extravagant as well! The world's gentlemen shouldn't be plain looking!" Nina shouted. Lizzie went to Ciel and plopped the bunny ears back onto his head, "Then let's start the egg hunt right away!" She took out a basket of eggs and I whistled, they were amazingly done, compared to the few that I made, "Today I brought Father's special Easter eggs!" She grabbed one and showed it to Ciel, "Look Ciel! Isn't this flower pattern nostalgic?"

"Huh?" Ciel said.

"Huh?" Lizzie mimicked.

"Ah...indeed it is." Ciel turned away from her and looked to us, "Well, I'll tell the servants to go and hide those." She stayed silent, shock look on her face, she shook her head and clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention, "That's right! I thought of something great!" She took out another egg; this one looked really pretty with white, gold, and pink, but didn't match the style of the other eggs, "I made this one! Isn't it cute? Let's have the person who finds this egg, hidden among all the others in the mansion, be the winner!"

"Ooh! So this egg hunt works like that?" Soma asked.

"Well, it wasn't meant to be a competition or anything..." Ciel muttered.

Lizzie suddenly glomped Ciel and rubbed her cheek against his, "You would always find my Easter egg first, wouldn't you Ciel?" She released him and looked at him sternly, "So you have to make sure to be first this year too!"

"G...got it." Ciel smiled nervously and Sebastian stared at me, and he cleared his throat. "Lady Elizabeth, may I ask, can we allow other eggs into the competition?"

"Other eggs?"

I straightened up and shook my hands from side to side, 'Don't!' I screamed in my mind.

"Yes, Matthew made some the other day. In fact, they're right there." He went to a seat and took out six eggs, 'Damn you!'

"Wow!" Lizzie went over to them and picked them up one by one, each egg was a representation of the people in Phantomhive, except for one. Lizzie picked up the last egg, it was painted black except for a red eight pointed star on the tip and a large five pointed red star on the bottom, a red chain with diamonds lining the way, went all around the middle of the egg. To anyone it would just seem like nothing, but it was actually Sebastian's and mine bond, the red dot was just the ruby on my ear. "Matthew especially made this one with care; in fact he didn't want to show it to anyone because it makes him feel embarrassed." He looked to me, in fact everyone, and I blushed red as I tried to cover my face.

Actually, I made the eggs as practice. My strength was sometimes too much without my being aware of it, and so Sebastian made me practice with hollow eggs to not crush them.

"Then, we'll have Matthew's eggs in the game as well! If it's ok with you?" Lizzie asked me. I just nodded and Sebastian smirked, I'm going to get that egg before anyone. He whispered in my mind. I ignored him and went to Ciel, "Good luck at getting Ms. Elizabeth's egg, Ciel." He glared at me and I chuckled.

"Wait a minute!" I and Ciel jumped and stared at Edward, who looked seriously angry. "I definitely won't let you have my sister's Easter egg! It's on Ciel!"

"Well, I'm not the one who decides..." Ciel muttered.

"Hmm? Doesn't that look interesting?" A loud annoying voice shouted. Ciel gasped and I pulled him out of the way as Charles Grey smashed through the window. "Earl Grey!" Charles Phipps entered the window and he waved to everyone, "Long time no see."

"Even Master Phipps!?" Ciel shouted, make it more obvious, seriously Ciel. "What are Queen Victoria's butlers doing here?"

"A delivery from her majesty." Phipps handed a basket to me and I looked at the contents, they were Easter eggs. "Wah how cute! As expected of the Queen!" Lizzie squealed.

"No, I painted these." Phipps said his voice was a little too monotonous. Both Lizzie and Phipps went together and started talking about the eggs. Grey walked over to Ciel and gave him a fake smile, "Ah, I overheard that you have to get your fiancé's Easter egg first, don't you, Earl?" Ciel nodded and the Earl smirked, "Great! I'm participating too, then!"

"Whoa wait, only Ciel will-" Grey raised a hand to stop me and he pointed to Lizzie's egg, "There's no rules other than 'the one who gets that egg first wins' right? This'll be fun!" He licked his lips, and I did not like the way he was staring at her. Sebastian reading my mind raised a hand and said, "Please wait a second." Grey turned to look at Sebastian and he blinked in surprised, "Wow...I'd heard the rumors but... you're really alive, huh."

"Thank you again for that time." Sebastian said sarcastically. I glared at Grey and stood by Sebastian's side, I felt slightly over protective of him, and wanted nothing more to rip Grey's head off and hand it to Sebastian as a trophy of my kill. Dark thoughts are unbefitting of you, but I like it. Sebastian thought, a smirk coming to his lips. I held down a blush, my change to human to demon has made my mood different than usual.

"So? What does the butler who cheated death have to say?" Grey said, noticing my glare.

"I'd expect there would be injuries if we didn't have any rules between these members." Sebastian opened his coat and pulled something out, "That is why..." He held up an egg and said, "Why don't we establish some more rules involving these?"

Here's how Sebastian wants the game to go as. We'll divide everyone up into teams of two, and have one of them carry a raw egg in a ladle during the egg hunt. One can freely exchange the egg through use of the ladles. A team is disqualified if, for whatever reason, the raw egg breaks.

Wow...two man teams really? I thought you said you were my mate. I thought to Sebastian.

I am who said I wasn't teaming up with you?

... I kept my mind silent on that.

"I see, you added rules like those in egg tapping to the egg hunt." Grey said.

"But to make it easier to decide the game, we'll be using raw eggs." I pointed out, "Though, why is it like egg tapping?"

"Because egg tapping is also a traditional Easter game."

"Tch. Boring!" Grey pouted.

Sebastian turned his back to Grey and said, "Let's decide the teams!"

It didn't go as Sebastian planned, I knew it. He and Ciel were together, the Charles as well, Agni and Soma, Bard and Maylene, Snake and Finny, and Nina with Edward. Who was I with? Tanaka, though I think I had a better advantage than the others, considering that Tanaka is more than what he seems.

"We'll definitely find it first." Ciel ordered Sebastian.

"Yes, my lord."

"Well, whose egg will we break first?" Grey said.

"I would like that Easter egg as a model." Phipps stated.

"Agni! Let's win in the name of the goddess, Kali!" Soma shouted.

"Jo agya!"

"I'm a pro at finding foodstuffs!" Bard declared as he held up his ladle.

"I know many places that could have been hidden in!" Maylene said with pride.

"Let's do our best!" Finny said, he and the snakes the only one excited this much.

"It'll be an easy victory with our sense of smell! Says Wordsworth."

"Why am I with a man?" Nina shouted and Edward just stared at her.

I looked down at Tanaka and smiled, "Let's do our best."

"Ho ho ho."

"As a general rule, you are not allowed to aim for something other than the raw eggs. To win you must find Lady Elizabeth's Easter egg and take it to her!" Sebastian repeated.

"Let's get started!" Lizzie said excitedly, "Ready? ...Bang!" She shouted.

Everyone rushed forward and I and Tanaka stayed our grounds.

"Let's go! We shouldn't be delayed!" Edward said.

"There's no helping it then..." She removed her cape and Edward screamed as he saw her revealing outfit, "Wah, w-what are you wearing?! Know some shame as a woman!" Nina pouted at him and she bent over, revealing her cleavage to him, "Your basically saying that girls have to follow stereotypes, that's inexcusable!"

"Wah! Don't come any closer!"

"As a future Marquis, don't you think you should be a bit more open-minded?"

He closed his eyes, his face red in embarrassment, "Fine already! Just cover your legs!" He fell to the ground as she came closer and she bent down to glare at him. Edward looked away and a small splat was heard. They stopped and looked down at Edward's ladle, the egg was destroyed, "Ah...aahhhhh!" They both screamed.

I shook my head and both Tanaka and I snuck passed Maylene, holding a slingshot, and Bard. "Hehe, you lose if you let your guard down once the starting sign's been given!"

I could hear both Nina and Edward screaming. Nina shouting, "And here I was, thinking I'd make her wear this and that when I'd have won!"

"Elizabeth!" Edward cried.

Tanaka and I looked around the manor for eggs, we have found several eggs, mostly from Phipps', and I stopped when I saw something sticking out from a potted plant. "I found one!" Tanaka came over with the raw egg and I grabbed the hidden egg. It was Lady Elizabeth's egg, "Uh oh. Tanaka, please don't tell anyone we found this. Quick, let's hide the egg." We ran around and finally found a good place to hide it. "Phew, that was close. I don't want to steal Ciel's thunder. Let's stop playing and go prepare the table." He nodded and we both took the table outside, and the food that Sebastian made.

I stretched and looked around; it seemed that everyone was still playing. "Why don't you go rest?" Tanaka said.

"Hm? Oh, you sure?" I didn't need to rest since I'm a demon now, but I did feel tired. He nodded and I bowed to him, "Thanks." I left and decided to visit my children. I placed fresh flowers for them, and dusted some of the dirt away, "It was good seeing all three of you again." I smiled, remembering them, and I went to the gardens. I can see everyone running around and I lay down under a tree, and heard the bushes rustling. "Hm?" I looked towards them and a small brown bunny hopped out, "Hello there." I held out my hand, and it hopped over to me, its little nose twitching against my fingers. I chuckled and closed my eyes as it played around me.

Have you found it yet? I asked Sebastian.

Not yet, but if you tell me, I can get it.

Nope. You have to find it.

I shut the mind connection again and just relaxed as a few rays of the sun went through the cracks of the leaves and landed on me.

Such a nice day...

~ASC~

"Easy win!" Bard said as he and Maylene rushed down the hall.

"Ah." She spotted a hallway chest and they rushed to it, "There's an Easter egg hidden under that chest!"

"Ooh! Let's see."

They opened the drawer and Bard reached in and grabbed the egg.

Sebastian and Ciel jumped when they heard an explosion and they ran to the hallway. They saw Bard and Maylene covered in soot, with their hair frizzed out, "I forgot I also hid some specially made Easter eggs." Bard said.

"I'm not sure I want to know, but I'll ask anyway. Why did you make them so they would explode?" Sebastian asked.

Outside the mansion Snake's snake pointed forward and he said, "The smell of eggs is coming from over there! Says Wilde."

"Okay, I'll go get them!" Finny shouted.

Snake waited for him and Wilde stood erect and hissed, "Who is it! Says Wilde."

"So you found me." Grey stepped from the side of the mansion and smirked, holding the egg up, "I thought it'd be more efficient if I just stole the eggs others already found."

Snake glared at him and he pointed at him, "I won't give you the eggs. Says Wilde." Hordes of snakes slithered out of holes and cracks and they rushed straight at Grey. "Eek! What is this! Gross!" Grey shrieked.

"Since you picked a fight with us, we'll have your egg! Says Wilde."

Grey shrieked again and started running, "I'm not so good with these!"

A high pitched note rang through the yard and Snake and Grey looked up, "What...what is this sound!?" They saw Phipps on the roof playing a snake flute. He jumped down and landed in front of Snake, "That...that flute! Says Oscar."

"A first-rate butler should be able to play a snake-manipulating flute!" He said as he started blowing into it again, this time moving it side to side.

"Uhh, ugghh!" Snake covered his ears, but the sound was hypnotic to him.

Finny rushed over, hair frizzed, and clothes covered with soot, with a bunch of eggs in his hands, 3 of them were Matthew's and he said, "Mr. Snake I found a lot! Though for some reason one blew up on me." He looked down and saw Snake passed out, and the egg broken, "Wah! Mr. Snake!"

~ASC~

"Find some over there. I'll search over here." Grey ordered as he looked at some of the hedges. Phipps nodded and went past the bushes near the tree. He stopped though and his eyes widen as he looked at the sight before him.

Matthew was lying under the tree, a small bunny pressing its nose against the blonde's cheek, and another bunny, this one white with black spots curled up by Matthew's side. Sun beams went straight through the lining of the leaves and casted a soft glow to him. He blushed and backed away, "C-cute."

"What was that?" Grey said as he started walking over. Phipps jumped and rushed over to Grey, pulling him away from the tree, "Nothing there to find."

"Why's your face red?" Grey asked.

~ASC~

Sebastian went to one of the drawers and opened it, inside was an egg, but it wasn't the one he wanted. "How is it?" Ciel called out.

"It's not the right one." Sebastian glared at the egg, not happy at it, "By the way, Young master." He turned his head and looked at Ciel, who was hiding outside of the room, "Why are you so far away?"

"What if it was one of Bard's eggs? I don't want to be caught up in that."

"I was severely hurt just a couple of days ago though...well, no matter."

If I received any injuries, I'm sure Matthew would be kind enough to care for me again. Sebastian smirked at the thought and Ciel walked out of his hiding place, "Then, let's go." A black blur was behind Ciel and Sebastian rushed over and blocked Agni's ladle with his own.

"For you to notice my presence when I'm completely focused...impressive." Agni complimented.

"To think you'd be able to hide your presence to such an extent. Well done." Sebastian complimented back.

"Hahaha! You fell for it!" Soma appeared from behind them and started running straight at Ciel. "I'll be taking that egg!"

"Kuh..." Ciel went on his knees, "Ugh..." He covered his mouth and started coughing in his hand. Everyone reacted to this and Soma kneeled down and looked at Ciel, "Ciel, are you ok! Are you having another attack?" Ciel looked up at him and swatted the egg off of Soma's ladle. The egg went splat and everyone stood in silence at the sudden attack.

"Aaah!" Soma shouted as he looked at his cracked egg.

"Fuahahahaha, what idiot would fall for that!?" Ciel mocked the Indian prince as he cried. "Cieeelll!" He sniffled out, his bunny ears drooping. "Hahaha, I'll take any measure to win." Ciel chuckled darkly. Soma and Agni suddenly tackled Ciel and they cried, "That's great! I thought you were sick again for real!"

"Master Ciel! You're okay!"

Sebastian chuckled, but then stopped as he realized that they were wasting time. The two idiots waved good bye at them, wishing them luck and Sebastian opened a double door, "Young master, how do you feel after such a reaction to your sneaky act?"

"Shut up!"

They stepped into the ballroom and Ciel turned around, "It's Lizzy we're talking about here, she wouldn't have put it in a very challenging place..." Sebastian looked up at the chandelier, elbow perched on his other hand, and index finger curled around his chin, "...Young master. It seems you're wrong about that..."

Ciel turned his head, "Huh?" He looked up and his mouth fell opened in shock, "What!? How did she get it over there?" Sure enough the egg was on one of the candle holders of the chandelier. Sebastian looked at the egg and he said, "Well, thinking of the lady..." He remembered the amazing reflexes and speed that Elizabeth had.

"Ah, a-anyway, go get it!"

"Are you sure? Wouldn't it mean more if you got it yourself?" Sebastian asked as he looked down at Ciel.

Ciel grumbled, "That's...tch. Go get a step-ladder."

"Of course."

Sebastian brought the ladder and Ciel climbed it, "Keep it straight." He said.

"Yes."

The step-ladder wobbled underneath Ciel as he reached for the egg, "It's unsteady. Just a bit more..."

A ladle went flying towards Ciel's back, and Sebastian caught it, and accidentally shook Ciel. He fell forward, only to grab the chandelier, and the egg fell off. "Ah!" Ciel caught the egg and the step-ladder fell from under him. Sebastian landed on the ground and he glared and shouted, "So it's you after all. Double Charles!" Sebastian flung the ladle back at Grey, who caught it and his other hand went to his sword. "Sorry, but we're taking the victory!" Grey rushed at Sebastian and both ladles clashed together. "I thought I'd killed you for sure. How did you do it?" Grey whispered through clench teeth.

"How? I don't know what you're talking about." Sebastian lied. A white blur rushed at him and Sebastian twisted backwards as a flute almost stabbed his kidney out. He looked at Phipps and saw that he was holding the raw egg.

"A mere servant wouldn't be thinking about attacking us nobles now, would they?" Grey threatened, "You can't!" Grey slashed at him and Ciel winced as his hand was starting to slip, "In a game your status isn't worth anything! I'll allow it! Break that egg!"

"I can't!" Sebastian shouted as he dodged Grey's foot. "That would shame the name of House Phantomhive!" A white and yellow blur passed Sebastian and his eyes widen. He stood up, holding both ladles and he said, "Please wait another 10 seconds."

"It doesn't matter if it's a game or not. I just hate losing!" Grey shouted.

Both ladles clashed and Grey smiled, "And besides..."

"I love toying with an opponent who can't resist." Grey licked his lips and charged again.

Phipps went behind Sebastian and they both swiped at Sebastian. The butler flipped backwards, dodging their attacks.

"M...my arm..." Ciel groaned.

"It ends here!" Grey aimed at Sebastian's egg.

The egg cracked and everyone stopped as they looked at Phipps ladle. The shell broke more and more and a small baby chick came out crying. "Ah! What is this?" Grey shouted.

"Oh my, it seems there was a fertilized egg mixed in." Sebastian mocked as his egg was safe.

"What!" Grey shouted again, unable to believe what was happening.

"I'm very sorry, but the rule for this game was 'no matter what the reason, if the egg breaks, you are disqualified.' This means." Sebastian said, trying hard not to laugh.

"We lost." Phipps said as he looked down at the baby chick.

"No...Way..." The look on Grey's face was priceless as he was down-casted. Sebastian helped Ciel down and the boy waved his hand side to side, trying to stop the stinging, "Phew, sheesh." He said as his other hand held Lizzie's egg.

"Good work as well, Young master."

"You set this up at the start didn't you?"

Sebastian winked at Ciel and whispered, "I can't have my master be embarrassed in front of his future wife now can I?" Ciel stared at him and turned his back to Sebastian, "Tell Matthew, thanks."

Seems he figured it out. Matthew laughed as he walked past the window. Sebastian smirked and nodded, Yes. Though, that was rather quick thinking of you. Good job.

But of course, a servant of Phantomhive house should only be able to do as expected. Come, we are all waiting.

Sebastian led the three outside and they saw the feast before them. Everyone was at the table and Lizzie walked over to them, "Here you go." Ciel said as he held out the egg. "You did it!' Lizzie glomped Ciel and held him tightly, "You got it first after all!"

Ciel smiled at her, "Yes. As always."

"Fufufu! May this Easter egg bring you lots of happiness?" Lizzie said as she handed the egg back to Ciel. "Thank you, Lizzie."

Grey's eyebrow twitched in annoyance and he shouted, "I'm sick of this! I'm hungry!" No one put attention to him and Soma threw his arm around Ciel's shoulder, "Of course my best friend would win!"

"I'll kill you if you break that egg!" Edward shouted.

Lizzie looked at everyone as she removed her ears, her smile fading as she thought, Hey Ciel...We've celebrated Easter together so many times. However. She looked at Ciel, his back to her; This year was the first time that I...made my own Easter egg. She looked down, her eyes closed as tears threatened to fall, Ciel. Just what happened to you in that one month? Something patted her back and she looked up. Matthew smiled down at her and he removed his own ears, "Whatever is troubling you...please remember that, Ciel does care greatly for you, so please. Keep smiling, even if it hurts; keep smiling, because he needs someone who can." She stared at him, surprised at his words, and she saw the sadness in his eyes as he stared at Ciel.

"Matthew." Sebastian called out.

Matthew's frown turned into a small smile and he walked over, "Coming, coming." Matthew went to Sebastian's side and Sebastian smiled down at him, "Young master wants you to play a song for us all."

"Eh, but I'm not ready!"

Sebastian pushed him forward and led him to the piano, "Any song will do."

Matthew looked at the piano and looked at everyone, then a smile came on his face as he stared humming and played on the piano, it was a song his father created for his mother. Everyone smiled as they listened and Grey took plates full of food and started shoving it down his throat, "Oh right," He said between some bites to Ciel, "We didn't come just to play games." He dug into his coat and pulled out a letter, "Here you go. A love letter."

Sebastian and Ciel stared at the letter; the crest of the Queen's on the red wax was staring back at them...

~ASC~

Matthew looked around, it was already night time, and everyone had already left after the party. Sebastian opened the windows of the music room and Matthew picked up the piano and kicked off of the ground and landed on the window sill, the piano threatening to tip him over, "Come on, use your abilities." Sebastian said as he softly touched the Easter egg of Matthew's. He had finally found it in the one place no one look, the egg was balancing on the tip of the roof, if he didn't found it in time it would have fallen down and cracked.

Matthew took a deep breath and he grunted as he felt his spine extending, a large dragon tail coming out. The tail grabbed the piano and Matthew immediately gripped the sides of the window so he wouldn't fall. "Good, it seems that you can gain attributes from the others, and even summon them as well."

"Yeah, but you don't have a dragon's tail coming out of your spine, it really itches!" Matthew stepped into the room and he gently brought the piano inside, placing it back where it belongs. "Yes, well I heard dragon skin is really dry, it's no wonder they are easily agitated." The tail retreated back, and again Matthew winced in pain, "I just realized, if I have the time, it will come out slowly, the changes I mean, but I bet when I'm fighting, or something, it's gonna hurt like hell when it has to just pretty much tear through my skin or something."

"Well, then don't pick something that will strain your body. I was expecting Kali's four arm ability, or superior strength, not Uroboros tail." Sebastian frowned at Matthew, looking down at him like a teacher would a genius, but incompetent student. Matthew chuckled nervously and scratches the back of his neck, "Guess I didn't think that through. Anyways, Ciel wanted to talk with us. So let's not keep him waiting!" Matthew backed up a few steps and ran out the room, not wanting to be scolded any more.

"This conversation isn't over!" Sebastian declared as he rushed after him, pocketing the egg into his coat carefully.

Ciel tapped his fingers on his desk as he looked at the letter, Sebastian and Matthew entered the room silently. "Matthew...when did you go see the Queen?" Ciel glared at Matthew and the blonde stepped backwards, "Oh...so she mentioned me...Well it was for your own good!"

"You demanded vacation time for me, saying that I am still a child." Ciel grounded out.

"Uh...I didn't really demand, I asked. And I didn't call you a child. I called you boy. BUT! It's true, you need a break. After all the crap that you go through, every freaking time she gives you a mission. I just think you need to relax, I mean after the circus, you have to hold a party where you had to prove your innocence, then after that you had to go on a ship of death, WHERE I DIED! Seriously, you need a break." Matthew stopped his rant and looked at Ciel carefully. The boy was pinching the bridge of his nose and he sighed, "Fine. But she said that I have to be out of the mansion. And she means out."

Matthew scratched the back of his neck and tried to think of something, "Why not go visit somewhere. Like a place you've always wanted to see."

"Like your world."

"Like my world- WHAT!" Matthew shouted. "No, hell no. No no no no no. JUST NOOO!"

"Actually, I've been curious to see your hometown."

"No."

"Matthew, are you really telling me what to do, and where I can or can't go." Ciel threatened.

"Yes...no...Gah!" Matthew pulled at his hair and he pointed at the two, "No way in hell am I going to take you guys over there!"
