I do not own Kuroshitsuji or D. Grayman. They both go to the respectful owners. This is my second yaoi-ish story because my friend asked me to do this and is slowly turning me into a yaoi fan girl. I am doing this out of impulse and I updating will vary from time to time. I have a Sebastian and Allen thing going on. It would make me happy to see more of this crossover pairing. This will be a slight rewrite of the Kuroshitsuji anime with Allen Walker in it. (Since I lost my manga version and my computer is mean when reading online scans)
WARNINGS- This crossover will contain: Slight AU, mild cursing, dark romance, yaoi, angst, gore, violence, adult situations
PAIRINGS: MAIN: Allen/Sebastian
MINOR: Ciel/Sebas, Brotherly!Allen/Ciel
NOTE: There will be not a slight hint of Yullen in this story. Sorry all you Yullen fan girls, I hate that pairing with a fiery passion.
Enjoy Lords and Ladies
CHAPTER 5: That Butler and Exorcist, Terminates
A woman rocked in her chair, a memorial to her late fiancé burned with the incense by her tea and the last picture they'd ever take together. Maria was to be Fred Abberline's wife, but due to the news that only a few days ago, maybe a week and a half, that her beloved who she was about to bear his children had died in the line of duty.
Maria stared at the picture as she rocked back in forth in a soothing manner, sewing baby socks for her child. He stomach plump and ripe with life. She was a lovely woman with brunette hair and passionate brown eyes. "Maria," an old woman's voice called out with her. "Maria, are you here?"
Maria opened the door to see the elderly owner of the tavern. "Auntie Louise?"
Louise held out a pot with a warm smile, "I made too much meat, so I've brought some over. Compared to that. What is this?" she stared down at tons of gifts and toys were piled on her stoop. Maria unwrapped a present, taking out a rattle in the shape of a rabbit. "Aren't those baby toys? Just who…" Maria looked into the package seeing an envelope with the seal of a certain toy making company's seal on it.
Maria could not hold back. She gasped, tears filling the rims of her eyes. The thought of the death of be beloved Fred. She read the letter crumpling it in her grip. Her heartbroken tears fell down her cheeks.
"Finnie, help me move this," Bard asked of the gardener.
"Yes, yes!" Finnie cheered. Inside Ciel's bedroom, the servants were busily packing all of Ciel's belonging for his trip to Paris.
"Uh…Young master's underwear." Maylene dashed, forgetting to pack those.
"Tanaka, Ciel said to his retainer. "About that…"
"Yes." Tanaka nodded. "Everything's been done as you ordered."
"Young master," Allen said. Ciel turned to see his white-haired butler standing in the doorway. "I've prepared accommodation over there."
"I see," Ciel said, staring out of his window. Allen stared at his master, a sad look in his gray eyes. Finnie was passing behind his master with some luggage, then saying, "Speaking of which, Young master. Where are you going?"
Bard bonked the gardener on the head, "You've been packing all these without knowing?"
"Paris," Ciel answered Finnie's question.
On the ship to Paris, a steam ship big and metal to transport people to other countries. "Her Majesty should have gone to Paris' exposition three days ago." Sebastian said to his master, as he and Allen stood by Ciel who was enjoying tea on the deck, staring at the ocean.
"There's heavy security at the hotel," Allen added. "This…" he stopped, looking to his silent master. "Young master."
Ciel looked up to Allen, "What's it?"
"Your heart is elsewhere," The teen had a soft, worried look in his eyes.
"Lau had said that," Ciel stated. "Her Majesty wants to involve Europe, no, involve the entire world in a war."
"Is that your reason for wanting to see Her Majesty?" Sebastian asked.
"No."
"Then…Are you moved by the death of the man named Abberline?" Sebastian asked.
"Sebastian! Too soon!" Allen scolded the demon man.
"No. It's alright Allen, compose yourself," Ciel said, Allen took a deep breath and nodded. Sebastian smirking confidently. "Because they're all my game pieces." He recalled when he warned Abberline if he ever came close to him, he'd die. Ciel furrowed his brow, "But…That game piece ignored my order and kept clinging to me. Lau was the same. If I can't secure the intentions of the game pieces, and my strategies, then I can't continue the game." Allen sighed, Sebastian never taking his eyes off him.
Finally the earl and his butlers arrived in France's capital, the city of love and arts, Paris. "In the vicinity of Eiffel Tower," Allen explained, "in the location of the exposition Champ de Mars, are many museums and expositions. Huge amounts of metal and glass were used. High level technology is showcased at the mechanical palace. At Palais de Chaillot is the exposition on farming. An expo on colonies is in Les Invalides at the second site. In there reappears the ruins of Angkor. The dance of culture. The zoo of humanity."
"What's taking place now is American Buffalo Bill's wild west cowboy show." Allen finished, reading the pamphlet he got from entering the country. They three stared out, looking over the exposition taking place near the Eiffel Tower. Thousands of people from all over came to experience this event and enjoy it. Allen clung to Sebastian arm, taking in the sight of culture.
"It's a rare exposition." Sebastian turned to his master, "Even if it's for the purpose of obtaining information for our new product research. Why don't you take a look around more?" Ciel sighed, shifting a bit.
"Really?" a man said in disbelief, he and his friend chatting together, passing the three.
"Yes," his companion said. "There seems to be a sample of an angel in the Education building."
"That's worth taking a look at."
"A sample of an angel?" Ciel echoed the man's little tidbit. The three looked at each other, they knew their next destination.
The Earl and his staff walked to the Education building. A crowd of people looked and admired a white monkey incased in glass. This monkey had angel wings growing from its back. "It's just a normal monkey," Allen said, slightly disappointed.
"This is boring. Let's head for the next area." Ciel said starting to walk off. As Allen was about to tail his master and the black butler, glanced back at the fierce still monkey, gasping slightly when he saw its eyes began to glow red.
A woman screamed as the monkey broke out of its glass case. Allen growled as he saw the monkey come after his master. "Bad monkey," he said coldly as he clawed down the crazed monkey with his activated arm. The monkey clawed at him, screeching, biting his Innocence's finger. Allen hissed in pain when the monkey soared away. It kept on destroying glass bulbs, burning darkness into the room.
"This is…"
Sebastian put a hand on Ciel's arm, "Young master, calm down please."
"But! Allen!"
Ciel felt Allen's hand on his shoulder, "I'm alright. To the you who has survived in darkness, this level of commotion should be nothing." Ciel gasped a bit, blinking. Allen smiled, "Leave this to me. That little bugger bit me, it's going to pay." Ciel shuddered at the wicked tone at it. "Young master, please evacuate to the outside."
Ciel ran out as the room began to panic. 'I don't feel pain, running in darkness. My soul's always been running in the dark. Always…' Ciel recalled the smiling faces of Finnie, Maylene, Bard, and Allen's smiling face at him. The dying face, the soft smile of Abberline. The soft, pained sad smile Lizzie wore when he rescued her from the clutched of Drocell. 'From that day on. Always…' Ciel remembered Allen joining his fate, how he smiled at him when he sealed his fate, all because of him. He could see the light from the outside coming up. 'In the darkness. The darkness.'
Ciel finally got out. He stared at the beyond beautiful sky, white clouds decorating the above. Birds flew across the Eiffel Tower. Ciel took a deep breath of fresh air, of light. 'This is bright. Is this really the world I live in?' Ciel wondered, the bright light hurting his eyes. He tried shielding it a bit. He looked to the bright, positive world, exact opposite of the world he knew and was used to.
Ciel saw, could it be, Angela? Yes it was Angela, standing by the fountain, admiring it. Ciel gasped, walking back away in shock and anxiousness. Ciel ran off when he heard a crash. He saw Allen gone airborne, flying out of a window of the center into an alley. "Allen!" He rushed to his butler's side.
"Damn thing caught be from behind and pushed me out," Allen grumbled, slighting tarnished and scratched. He wiped all the dirt and debris from his white hair and coat. Ciel pulled on his sleeve, "Come on. I saw her, we need to move." Ciel ordered him.
Allen gasped and blinked, she should've been dead! Allen got up and ran with his master into a closed off building that entered the Eiffel Tower. The two, earl and servant, made their way up the iron steps of the tower. Allen closed the door to a moving elevator to a rest spot, gasping and wheezing for breath. Ciel clanged to his butler's chest, he too was heaving for air, trembling a bit in his arms.
"My, running in such a panic…" a young girl's voice said. She was dressed in black, wearing a hat and veil that hid her face. Sitting beside in the seats was Yuu Kanda, whom the enigmatic girl was clinging to.
"Kanda!" Allen blinked.
"Hello Moyashi," Kanda nodded, smirking snidely.
"You're…" Ciel gasped, amazed who the person clinging to the captain of the guard was.
It was the Queen, Victoria, herself. "Ciel. It's been so long. And you must be Allen Walker; Kanda has told me all sorts of things about you. You don't look so weak and foolish as he described you." Allen glared deadly at the samurai.
"Your Majesty," Ciel and Allen exclaimed in shock. Suddenly the carriage began to move up. There was pregnant pause between the earl, his butler, and Queen of England and her bodyguard.
Victoria looked out the window, "Please look at the scenery from here." The two did as they were told. "Before the new era comes, Europe will change. But. Over there, the dirt…" she looked to see a smoggy part of Paris's suburbs. "Over there, the water…" she inferred the now smoggy ravine.
"And here," Kanda finished, pointing right at Allen and Ciel, "the unclean." Allen stared, he sounded just like that blasted angel and those occult members. Ciel gasped a bit, fearful.
"There's a need to exterminate everything." Victoria continued. "Without destruction, there won't be creation. So to receive the new and clean era, I've to purify the Phantomhive household that has embraced all the rot and depravity of my country."
Ciel gasped again, eye wide. Allen held Ciel close, "Why…Your Majesty?"
"It is the will of the Her purest Majesty." Kanda smirked as the Queen giggled and snuggled up to him. "The Phantomhives must me purified." A deadly serious look in eyes. Allen bit his lip, this wasn't the same Kanda he knew before.
Fireworks burst into the day sky. Many people ooh'd and ahh'd in awe at the lovely sight. Sebastian came out of the center, a dead flying monkey in his hands, taking it out like trash. "How tasteless," the demon criticized the still flightless ape. He saw a white feather fall from the sky. He stared at it as it fell gently down slowly, being led around by the breeze. He took the feather in his hand; "This is…" he looked to the Eiffel Tower.
"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down," the Queen sang as walked up the iron stairs of the tower. Ciel and Allen followed, Kanda behind them in case they tried to escape. "London Bridge is falling down."
'In here…'
"My fair lady."
'What I've been searching for…'
The four finally arrived at the top of the tower. "Ah Kanda, isn't this lovely?" The Queen swooned.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Kanda said, his expression soft. Allen looked at him, the samurai's expression quickly changed to a serious cold one again.
"Please tell me," Ciel piped up.
"What is it?" Victoria turned, looking to him.
"In addition to the slaughter, why did you make it into such a tragedy?" Ciel asked.
Kanda growled, going for his sword. Victoria halted him, putting her black gloves on his arm. "I'll ignore your rudeness, Ciel. That was an act of purification."
"Was mocking the dead what you mean by 'purification'?" Allen asked then, getting a bit braver.
Victoria tilted her head, "Mocking?"
"Yes." Ciel confirmed.
"Mocking…" Kanda wrapped his arms around the Queen's small frame, snarling at the boy who dare insulted his Queen. "I'm being insulted by the Phantomhive family, who has been loyal to me for so long…" she hid her face in the man's chest.
"What?"
A gust of wind blew against the royalty, noble, and servant. The queen's headdress veil blew off her head, revealing long silver graying hair. Victoria looked up from Kanda's chest, Allen and the dark earl gasped at her youthful pale skin. Tears running down from her blue-green eyes. The girl who called herself the Queen looked no older than Ciel, maybe a few years older.
An amused chuckle ran through the top. Allen turned, and saw Ash sitting on a post of the tower. "Are you surprised? It's the face of a young and springy girl."
"About time you got here Ash," Kanda said, sneering a bit.
Ash smirked and jumped down from the post, landing a few feet away from the Earl and butler, whom Allen was ready for anything. Ash continued to speak, strutting over to the Queen and bodyguard, "Her Majesty has lost her beloved husband in her happy days. Kanda lost his purpose and ability to fight during a horrid war. Her Majesty mourned for the death of her husband. Kanda bemoaned about the loss of his close ones and his uselessness."
The elderly Queen lay in her bed, shaking hands with a dagger up to her neck. Ash appeared before her, halting her actions.
Kanda sat in a teahouse in rural Japan. He sipped his tea quietly, glaring at a bunch of thugs who were pushing and harassing a waitress. He wanted to do something, yet his handicap stopped him. He held close a lotus encased within a glass, the petals wilting and falling. He held a dagger gloss to the glass, ready to stab it at any moment. Ash sat next to him sipping put a hand over Kanda's halting him in his suicide.
"They once wanted to commit suicide. She wanted to live forever with her beloved husband. He wanted to see his comrades again and be free of his handicap." Ash stood beside the smiling Queen and smirking Kanda. "I've connected her Majesty's body with the body of her husband. I have also connected Yuu Kanda's body with that of Lenalee Lee's and Alma Karma's."
Ciel and Allen gritted his teeth. Allen gritted his teeth, "Kanda, you…"
"I can do things I used to do, and lusted to do. All thanks to the love and immortality Lenalee and Alma have gifted me," Kanda smirked.
"Kanda you've been brainwashed!" Allen roared. "You're not the same person I knew before."
"That Kanda died a long time ago. I have been reborn anew," Kanda sneered. "By the kiss of an angel." Victoria giggled and pecked the Japanese samurai's cheek. "I have no need for any restraint, not even the end of my life is being dated by a damn lotus."
The earl and the butler recalled the horrid vision they saw of Angela holding up the slump, grotesque face of the sewed together Phantomhive parents and Mana Walker. 'The body…'
Victoria folded her hands as Kanda stepped behind her, hands on her shoulders. "I know my husband was happy because of my work." she pressed her hands over her heart. "This way, my husband's body…will thump with heartbeats. Just as Kanda's late friends, Lenalee and Alma's bodies shall thump with heartbeat as well. Thump. Thump." Her hands motioned with her heartbeat. "It's the sound of life leaping. In reality, joy is to be with one I love." She tilted her head, a soft smile on her lips. "If this joy is given to Phantomhive and Walker, then the deaths will not become something tragic. That's how I think of it."
Ciel stared at her, mouth agape. He gasped, moving closer to Allen. Ash then said, "Her Majesty and her husband have a strong will to lead England into a bright world without filth. This will has also cleaned her own dirt, as well as Kanda's. Turning her into a spotless girl and him into a spotless man."
"What a noble aim," Kanda shrugged.
Ash put his hand over his heart, in pure bliss praised her, "She fits perfectly as the master of an angel."
"An angel?" Allen cried. "Could you be…"
"Ash. Kanda. At least, use your blades to end Ciel and Allen's life." Victoria chimed lithely. The boys gasped in distress. "Ash and Kanda's blades are very beautiful. They are like rays of the sun rising in the new era.
Kanda put his hand on his katana as Ash went for his rapier, "Unsheathe the pride of my sword, wisdom." They unsheathed their bladed. "And point it at your beastly bodies." Kanda smirked as he recited darkly. "Let me the one to push you towards hell." Ash brought his rapier to his face as he got into his Western position, Kanda got into that of a spirited faithful samurai of ole's stance. Allen growled, activating his arm and standing in front of a spiteful Ciel. "To your next pure life." They pointed their blade, saying in unison, "Ciel Phantomhive and Allen Walker."
They charged forward, Allen getting ready to defend. Sebastian appeared and grabbed his master and pet, making them avoid the two swordsmen's attack safely. Kanda clucked his tongue and cursed softly as Sebastian said, "Even it's the swords you both take pride on. They're useless if they don't hit." Kanda glared dangerously as Ash did. "Young master, Allen. This could be the end." Allen bit his lip as Ciel exhale. Sebastian smirked evilly, "Then, the order…"
Ciel glared at the demon butler. He then glared at the three standing opposite of them. "Ciel," Victoria said in a hushed voice as another gust of wind blew.
"Kill…Ash and Kanda." Ciel ordered his butlers.
"Is…that all?" Allen nodded his head.
Ciel gripped his fists tightly, saying his order slowly, "Kill…The Queen."
"Ciel." Victoria cried breathlessly.
"As you command," the demon and exorcist nodded. Sebastian leapt in the air and threw his deadly silverware as the Queen. Allen charged from below, claw ready to slice and dice, a merciless sadistic grin on the white-haired teen's lips. Ash and Kanda stepped in front of their queen, Ash slashing away the silverware as Kanda parried Allen's strike.
Ash leapt after Sebastian as Kanda and Allen duked it out. "You don't know how long I've waited to be ordered by anyone to cut you down beansprout." Kanda grinned evilly as they both attacked on another. As silverware and rapier battled each other, a fight between old rivals as katana and tainted Innocence parried and strike each other.
The Queen gasped, unpleased with all this violence. "This is horrible. Please Ciel," the royal begged her guard dog. "Stop this. Ciel." The dog gritted his teeth, his eyes intense with hatred.
As Ash and Kanda followed dodging and avoiding Phantomhive butlers, steel bars that held up the tower were being slice on accident. The crowd screamed the iron fell from above, running away, wondering what was going on. Ciel gasped when he saw the chaos going on from below because of his order. "Stop it, Sebastian and Allen!" the two butler stepped back to their master's side, obeying.
"Looks like the Moyashi became a loyal mutt now," Kanda taunted licking his blade.
"Why?" Allen asked, scowling deeply.
"You both are standing out too much," Ciel replied, a bit rattled. "If this goes out, we'll just make the commotion bigger."
"They're just normal humans," Sebastian said carelessly. "There's no need to worry about them."
"No, we're retreating here." Sebastian gazed back at him, eyes wide in surprise. Allen copied, though a painful smile on his face. Ash chuckled, wing unfurled and he picked up the Queen bridal-style, Kanda riding on his back, and flew off. Ciel gazed as the trio escaped.
"The wings of an angel," Allen murmured. The flew out into Paris, disappearing from sight. Sebastian glared back at Ciel, a disappointed look on his face.
Back on the ground, local officers were trying to console the concerned crowd of locals and visitors. The carriage that held the Phantomhive and servants passed them. "Why did you stop us?" Sebastian asked his lord.
"I don't have anything else to say," Ciel shot back stubbornly. "The fight stood out too much. That's all."
"I see," Sebastian said blandly. Allen said nothing, rubbing his arm numbly. He had a bad feeling from this all.
"What do you want to say?" Ciel asked his demon.
"Your wish is to revenge against those who led you to hell," Sebastian informed. "Just what was that underground room on that day?" he asked.
Allen bit his lip, this was going into uncharted territory he did not trod whatsoever. The ex-exorcist knew they were recalling their first ever meeting.
"You've summoned me. That truth will never change. The sacrifice you make will not be returned. Then, choose."
"This is my order." A mark placed on his eye, like the mark he placed on his pet's brow. "Kill them."
He stepped over the dead corpses of his torturers. "I'll become your sword.The price to complete you revenge is…"
"Souls? I'll give you as many as you want."
"If there's no hesitation…"
"Shut up."
"On that day, there was no hesitation in you. The only time I saw that kind of unhesitating will was from Allen on that other day." Allen blushed a bit as he felt Sebastian touch his thigh. "Even though you now know the truth, will you remain loyal to the Queen?"
"I was never loyal to her from the beginning," Ciel said rest in chin on his hand. "As a Phantomhive, I was only moving along with partners."
"The the souls have become more precious," Sebastian spoke with a dark tone.
"There's no such thing as a soul," Ciel argued calmly. "This is annoying. What do you want to do?" he looked to his butler. He saw a deadly, dark, evil, look in those red eyes.
Sebastian looked ahead, Allen inching closer to him, "You are tired today," the black butler said, trying to change the subject. "Please return to the hotel and het a good rest." He glowered down at the boy. Ciel returned his glare full-heartedly.
Allen looked out of the carriage window, "What a hateful city," he commented.
That night at the hotel, Sebastian and Allen were getting Ciel ready for bed. "From that day on, it's your duty to button my shirt." Ciel said loftily.
"I thought then that it was only a demon imitating a butler." Allen said as he picked up the finished milk tea. You've put on a good show," he praised the poker-faced demon butler.
"As a butler of the Phantomhive household…" Sebastian started, he finished button Ciel's nightshirt. "Our talk ends here." He said. He bowed before the boy."It time to rest, Young master." After being tucked in goodnight, Allen and Sebastian left the boy alone.
Sebastian then said, "Forget everything. I wish you a good and happy dream." He bowed his head. Sebastian then smirked and kissed his pet's head. Ciel seemed a bit disturbed and puzzled by that odd smile on Sebastian's lips. The two left, the door closing. Thus left Ciel in the dark.
Ciel was floating in a grey void. "Ciel-kun," a voice called out to him. "Ciel-kun." The boy opened his arms. He saw Abberline, arms wide and open, a smile on his face floating with him. "You have a chance to obtain your future once more."
"Once more?"
Abberline nodded. "Forsake the title as the Queen's guard dog." The background behind the late constable suddenly illuminated with a blinding light. "Forsake the hatred you've been carrying with you. Once more" the light began to engulf the two.
Ciel awoke. He sat up, his silence of the morning disturbed by a blood-curdling shriek. "EYAAAAHHHH!" Ciel blinked when Allen ran into his room, his hair a mess and pulled up. He had tears on his eyes, putting his hands on his shoulder shaking him. "It's not glowing! It's not glowing! I can't find him anywhere, he's not anywhere! Look at me! It's gone dull!" He pointed to his left brow, where his contracted pentagram overlapping his cursed pentacle scar laid. It was dull and not glowing, not even a little bit. It lay there dense, like it was some sort of tattoo.
"What?" Ciel gasped a bit surprised. "Sebastian." He blinked, he did not come to wake him up on time. Ciel got up and searched his hotel room. "Sebastian! Sebastian where are you? It's morning…Can you not hear me?"
Allen sniffled, "He's gone. I searched everywhere," he tied his hair quickly into a ponytail. He followed his master about like a puppy. They came to the bathroom, Ciel looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He stared at his contract eye, it did not glow or shine like it one was. It was dull, just like Allen's pentagram on his forehead.
"Sebastian." Ciel yelled.
Ciel and Allen went down to the lobby after Allen dressed and groomed him. "I'm Phantomhive of room 702." Ciel told the manager at the front desk. "Do you know where my other butler's gone to?"
"Yes, please wait a moment." The manager looked through his book a bit.
After getting his answers, Allen and Ciel walked on the Paris streets. 'The seals haven't disappeared, but…' that smile of Sebastian's lips irked him to no end. Just what was he thinking about? 'That guy couldn't be thinking of my happiness. He even left Allen here to watch over me. And "Forget everything". That…' Ciel gritted his teeth. Allen had a sad look in his gray eyes as he stared into the cloudy sapphire sky. 'is a farewell.'
Ciel stopped, "We can return to London by ourselves." He stated to his only loyal butler.
"Yes," Allen agreed, nodding his head. He followed his master, as he would to the ends of the earth. Allen approached a trader loading up his goods, "Take us to Calais Harbor." He ordered the man.
"Huh?" the trader said rudely. "Kid, is that the attitude to have when asking for a favor?"
"I am not a kid," Allen growled. He lifted a bag of francs, "How much money do you want?" The man grinned greedily.
The trader man complied with the butler's request given by his master. Ciel clanged to Allen as they sat in the back of the cart when they went through the bucolic side of Paris. Allen had a protective and comforting arm around the boy, trying to ease his tension. Ciel obviously did not enjoy the rough ride from the cart, be shushed between barrels.
"We're here," they stopped at a fork in the road.
"What?" Ciel said.
Allen barked madly, "I said to go to Calais."
"My apologies. That's in the opposite direction to my home." He shrugged. Allen frowned as he took Ciel in his arms and leapt down.
"Hey, let go," Ciel struggled in the boy's grasp, breaking away.
"If it's Boulogne, you'll have to walk in the opposite direction." The trader told them as he went back into his cart. Allen tried to stop him. "Well, if you walk slowly, you'll eventually get there." The clouds started to spread and darken the skies.
"Wait up." Allen roared. "Damn you! Work off what I paid you for!" he was used to people like this. During his time travelling the world, he had to deal with people like him. Ciel looked less that happy, gritting his teeth and clenching his hands, frustrated.
The two walked side by side on the grass of the land. Both alone and abandoned, only to have each other as company. They walked on, on and on until the sun settled. Even then they walked on, Ciel huffing a bit, using Allen a crutch when he got tired. Allen wiped the sweat from his brow, shielding his eyes from the glare of the sun. The sun set into the night, the two trekked on. Nothing stopping or halting them. They would walk on, as taught by each other.
They finally reached a comely hotel. A dozing, drunken fat manager sat at the front desk. When the opened the door, it woke the man. Ciel stepped to the front desk with Allen behind him. "Let us stay for one night," Ciel demanded of the intoxicated manager.
He nodded, "Money?" he asked gruffly.
"Don't have any right now," Ciel replied. "I'll send it over from London later." The man picked up his paper and shooed them off. "Stop joking. Who do you think I am?" Ciel said, his voice getting a bit shaky. "I'm Ciel Phantomhive. Just what illegal business are you doing? Don't you know the Funtom company?" the man downed another sip of alcohol, Allen holding back his furious master. "Look at this ring." He showed his family diamond. "This is passed down in the family of Phantomhive…"
The man slammed the glass down, "Then that's good. In exchange for that ring, I'll let you stay. It's quite a good stone. Let me wear it too?"
"Sir! Please, let us stay." Allen went into his coat pocket and took out a silver gross emblem pin. "This cross is made with real silver. Take this instead of my master's ring."
"I'll take it in exchange for your stay." The drunken man sneered. Ciel ran out the hotel, Allen running after him.
"Stop joking," Ciel yowled at the man.
Allen put his old cross back into his coat."What cheap accommodation," Allen jeered. Ciel looked at his family ring. The one thing he refused to lose with all his heart. The two walked into a ally, Ciel wilting back onto the wall, sliding down and hugging his knees. Allen sat beside him, pulling him close to him.
"I'm hungry," Ciel moaned.
"I am too," Allen said resting his chin on the boy's ashy hair. He saw a black cat, something Sebastian would admire for hours on. Allen beckoned to the cat, "It's cold. Come over here." That cat walked close to the earl, who picked it up by it furry. The cat hissed and claw off him, making the younger boy drop the cat that scurried away.
Allen held him close, checking his face for any marks. "Hey, even you're making fun of me?" Ciel snarled at the cat. Ciel got up and chased after the cat. "Wait!"
"Young master!" Allen ran after the boy. "Wait, stop!" he ran into another alley after the feline. The black cat at seemingly led the duo to the port of the city. "There's actually a harbor this close," Allen gasped at the miracle.
"Even so, I…" Ciel mumbled, he scanned the empty boat ready to be used to escape. "Running without direction, we didn't find the harbor. It's actually so close." The salty breeze of the sea kissed the sealed boys' faces.
Back at the Phantomhive manor, Pluto in human form was sleeping outside like he always was. He woke up, his collar suddenly glowing. Pluto grabbed the collar, his body shimmering as he was forced into his demon form. Pluto gave a beastly howl.
Bard who was snoring loudly, awoke when a light poked into his eyes. He looked outside and saw all the trees on fire. Finnie and Tanaka too along with the cook stared in fear as they saw this inferno. The courtyard, the garden, everything outside was catching heat. The servants began to panic at the fire. "Water! Get some water!"
"Yes!" they stopped panicking when they heard a beastly, untamed roar. Pluto roared, breathing more fire on the plant life, riding on top of the Devil Dog was angel Ash, wings shown.
Ciel and Allen had fallen asleep together besides a box, Ciel leaning on Allen as they slept peacefully. The black cat looked at the pair its reddish-brown eyes focused on them, it then licked Allen cheek swiftly.
It mewled and walked off.
Two chapters left. This is it people the big stretch. I hope you like how I made this chapters possible. Many of you are worried how Sebby could just heartlessly abandoned his lovely pet. Don't worry. We all know how this is going to turn out. And I have a surprise at the end~ BTW, Kanda will not die for all you Yuu-chan fans. He is evil, just for this story though. Ok~ Still need sequel title ideas here~
