EDIT: I am so glad I am finally editing this chapter. Out of every chapter I've written, I hate this one the most. Why? Because people wouldn't shut the hell up about it. Apparently I made a reference too obvious and got yelled at. A lot. So Marina (12Marina21) have been working on rewriting parts of this that I'm not satisfied with. I hope you enjoy.

I'm back! Did you miss me? I sure as hell missed all of this. But the good thing is, I thought up something on the last night of camp. I brought my notebook with ideas I get with me to camp so I jotted it down real quick. What is gonna happen in this chapter is quite interesting.A new character will be introduced.

But only for a short period of time. And no, it isn't one of the characters from Kuroshitsuji. It's a character I thought up. Someone from Sebastian's past, yeah we are going back down that road to hell. Isn't that exciting?

Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: Something for all of those that follow the manga, anyone else think Jeremy is Sebastian in disguise? Because I sure do.

Mating Season

Kidnapped

Sebastian's POV

Judging by the subtle noises coming from the master's bedroom, I assumed Ciel was having another nightmare. In a sense, I was relieved the boy was able to fall asleep. I didn't want to wake him because I wasn't sure if he would be able to go back to sleep afterwards. Something told me that he probably couldn't.

I left my nightly spot by Ciel's door for a moment as I noticed that it was nearing 3 am. It was around the time to pick what the meals for the day were going to be. I made my way to the kitchen and started looking through the cabinets full of food.

The master has recently found interest in strange cuisines that I hadn't seen before. Thankfully, as of a few days ago that seems to have stopped. I was nothing but grateful as I disliked fixing the abominations he normally asked for.

I grabbed a collection of ingredients and set them on the counter to be prepared in a few hours. I picked out a few more things to be made and set out everything according to the dish they would be used in. Admiring my work, I almost didn't hear the door to the kitchen creak open.

Without looking to see who it was, I chuckled, "Young master, you know you shouldn't be up snacking at such a late hour. Especially in the condition you are in. I request that you return to your bed at once."

I felt a hand on my waist, "My lord, I don't think this is a good time for something of that nature."

Another hand grasped onto my neck and I heard a whisper in my ear, "Lucifer…it's been quite a while."

Lucifer? So it's someone from back home, "Who are you and what do you want?"

"Well you should know who I am, Lucifer. There is only one other person besides Satan and your father who is stronger than you. Not to mention I know that you are rendered helpless if I grab onto your neck in a certain way." The ghastly person hissed.

Everything clicked into place as all the memories came flooding back into my mind, "Samuel Cain."

I was spun around to see the familiar face, "Very good. I thought your deductive skills were better than that."

"What are you doing here, Samuel?" I said annoyed. This nonsense was taking up more time than usual.

"Oh I apologize, Lucifer. Am I interfering with your snack time? Who is your master and meal at the moment?"

I frowned, "I believe that is none of your business."

Samuel rolled his eyes, "I suppose since you refuse to cooperate with me, I'll have to take you somewhere with me."

"Elaborate."

"Tsk tsk, so impatient. We are going back home for a little while. Don't you worry; your human won't miss you. After all, it's not like they are anything more than food. Their feelings mean nothing. You just have to make sure you eat them before they go stale!" He cackled as he began to drag me out.

As a way to tell Ciel what happened, I took a phoenix feather and threw it onto the counter. Hopefully he will receive the message it contains.

Ciel's POV

After that horrible dream I had, I woke up in a sweat. I looked around to make sure what I was seeing wasn't an illusion. But then the clock caught my eye. It read 7:19 am. I scowled. Sebastian was supposed to wake me up over an hour ago. Something isn't right.

Despite the earlier orders given to stay in bed, I got up and gradually made my way downstairs. Every room I looked in there was no trace of Sebastian. Even Soma and Agni hadn't seen him today. I just have this sinking feeling that he is in danger or something. There was only one place I hadn't checked, the kitchen. I rarely ever go in the kitchen because there is never a need for me to.

I push open the wooden door painted white that led me into the kitchen. I heard the door click shut behind me as I began to look around. Eyeing all the ingredients that were set out on the counter, it was obvious that Sebastian had been here. Then I noticed something out of the ordinary. There was a feather resting ever so gently on a small pile of ashes. I picked it up and twirled it in my fingers, gazing at it in curiosity and fascination.

Then suddenly a flash occurred before my eyes and the feather I was holding had disappeared. I turned around and saw a beautiful black phoenix spreading its wings. A purple glow surrounded the majestic bird. It glared at me for a few moments before extending its clawed foot. There was a note wrapped around the phoenix's foot. I unattached the note and opened it up to see what it said.

Ciel,

I give you my sincerest apologies for not being present at the moment. But I'm afraid a fellow demon, one stronger than I, appeared and managed to overpower me in a moment of vulnerability. I apologize for allowing this to happen. It is to my understanding that he is taking me back down to hell for the time being. I urge you to not follow me and let me handle this on my own.

You have to understand that the man that kidnapped me is extremely dangerous. His name is Samuel Cain. He is an archangel of Satan and is one of only 3 people that are more powerful than me. Under no circumstances may you attempt to come save me. As of yet, this man only knows that you are my master and nothing more. But if he finds out about you and your condition, he will kill you if he gets the chance. And I'm afraid that if you are put in such danger, I cannot protect you.

Stay where you are and wait patiently until I get myself out of this mess. I promise you I will be back soon. There is too much at risk for you to come. I care about you too much to let anything happen to you. Please do as I say.

Sebastian

The phoenix cried out and disappeared. I set the note down and made my way to the nearest phone. I was obviously going to go help Sebastian, no matter what the circumstances are. The problem is, how am I supposed to get down to hell? Are partial demons allowed to do that? If I remember correctly, Sebastian said something once about entering the gates of hell…

"The only way to enter hell is to either: Be a demon, have recently died and been rejected from Heaven, or have a special summons from Satan himself."

I think my best option is to get a special summons from Satan. To anyone else, it would seem foolish and sacrilegious. But to me, it was my only chance. I just hope that being a partial demon is enough to call upon Satan himself.

I closed my eyes and focused on what I was trying to do. After about five minutes passed, I was surrounded by a sea of darkness.

"Who are you?" A booming voice echoed.

I turned to see a large shadowy figure with bright flames surrounding him.

I stepped back in alarm, "A-Are you Satan?"

The figure nodded, "I am. Who are you?"

"Ciel Phantomhive. You probably don't know me but…"

"Oh yes, I know you. You are my grandson's mate, are you not? Lucifer Michaelis' mate." Satan spoke in a bit of a nicer tone.

I still didn't understand exactly why people called Sebastian 'Lucifer', "That's correct."

A smile bestowed on the dark man's face, "I have longed to meet you. The one who got Lucifer to come out of his shell. He had never shown true romantic interest in anyone before he met you."

I nodded, unsure of what I was getting myself into, "Um…thank you, sir."

"Now, what is it you wanted to see me about?"

"Well…" I began, "I was wondering if I could get perhaps a summons from you so that I can enter hell."

"It can be done." Satan confirmed, "But why do you want to get into hell? You are not ready to come into my realm yet."

I sighed, "Seb-I mean Lucifer, has been kidnapped and taken there. By a man called Samuel Cain. And I want to get him back."

I noticed the flames surrounding Satan get larger and fiercer, "Samuel Cain. Why am I not surprised? It is done. You have a summons from me."

"Thank you very much, sir." I said taking the blood red envelope that was given to me.

My eyes snapped back open and I saw I had the envelope still in my hand.

Sebastian's POV

When I came to, I noticed I was chained to the wall. My tailcoat had been disposed of and my dress shirt and vest were tattered. This all seemed way too familiar for my liking. I heard the clacking of footsteps coming towards me. I closed my eyes, refusing to look at whoever the person was.

"Come now, Lucifer. Don't you shield your eyes from me. For you know I am one who is most fond to look at." The person who entered the small dungeon spoke.

I chuckled lightly, "Of course you would say something like that. You were always full of yourself, Samuel."

My eyes opened to see Samuel standing before me with a whip in his hand.

He snapped it at the ground, "Enough nonsensical chatter. Do you know why you are here, Lucifer Michaelis?"

"I can't say that I do." I said letting my head sway back and forth.

The whip met my abdomen, "You are here because I have something I need to straighten out with you."

"Go on."

He grabbed hold of my face and got real close, "Tell me Lucifer, are you happy at the current time?"

I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, "Not at this moment because I am chained to a wall and someone is causing me pain."

Samuel dug his nails into my skin, getting angry, "What I mean is, are you happy with your life? Do you have a consensual mate, maybe a child or two, anything like that?"

Should I tell him the truth and risk Ciel's safety? Or should I lie and possibly make him angrier?

"As a matter of fact, I do have a consensual mate, and we have two children on the way." I said with a sense of pride. I couldn't help but smile a little.

The pride soon turned to pain as he drug his nails across my face and whipped me three more times. He grabbed my face again which was now bleeding due to the deep scratches.

"Then that is just more things that you have that I DON'T!" he yelled the last part, "Despite the fact I'm stronger than you, you get EVERYTHING THAT I CAN'T HAVE!"

I saw the tears of anger begin rolling down his cheeks. I could easily see that he was very upset about something.

Looking into his ruby red eyes I spoke clearly, "What happened?"

Samuel gritted his teeth and tightened his hold on my face, "I'll tell you what happened…THE WORST THING IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! THAT'S what happened!"

I stared at him as he began to tell his story.

"Three years ago, I had a wife, Lilith. She was a beautiful enchantress. Satan said that he was proud of me for finding such a good mate. We were both so happy with each other. And then, we began talking about wanting to start a family. Because it was around that time of year where mating season began. Well, soon enough she got pregnant. And we were so excited, we couldn't wait for the baby to arrive." More tears began to fall as he continued to talk, "So, finally the time came and we went to the hospital. We were in a human hospital because Lilith was half human and so it couldn't be done down here. The delivery began and I was sitting beside her holding her hand the whole time. But then there were some…complications. I knew something was wrong with her. She kept telling me she was in so much pain and…and…there was so much blood. I kept telling the doctor to do something but he would just say everything was gonna be okay and not to worry. And so…I just sat there as I held my wife's hand…and I watched her bleed to death! I put my faith in a human and look what happened! I lost my love and my son! Because of a STUPID HUMAN DOCTOR!"

Something about what he said struck a nerve deep inside me, as I suddenly felt a fear of the same thing happening to Ciel. What if something goes wrong and he's gone forever? These were the thoughts I've pushed in the back of my mind until now. With the time drawing so near, I have no time left to not think about something of dire importance. Especially when it concerns Ciel's life.

"So you just want everyone else to suffer how you suffered." I muttered.

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE SUFFERED!" he roared at me.

I looked down at the ground stained with my blood and then back at him, "No I don't. And I apologize that such a tragedy occurred but there is really nothing I can do about it."

"You just wait…" he mumbled almost inaudibly.

The words were crystal clear in my ears but I decided not to say anything further. I was in enough pain as it is.

Samuel looked at me for a few more seconds and then turned around and walked out of the room. I sighed and hung my head low. What was I going to do?

Oh my god, could this chapter have been any longer? I really spoil you guys, I really do. But I'm serious, over 3,200 words. That is like overtime for me. In case you all wanted to know, camp was awesome. I discovered that I fail at wakeboarding and I love it when someone french braids my hair. I hope you all enjoyed it because in the middle of typing this, my computer decided to crash on me when I was trying to convert a video. But thankfully it was saved. Let me know what you all thought of the new character, Samuel!

One last thing, have any of you played the Ace Attorney games? I just finished the first one and with heavy reliance on the walkthrough, I completed the game in two weeks. Granted, one of those weeks I was at camp but I digress.
