A demon roamed down the dark streets of London. It was the year 1568, December. The season was winter, snow flakes falling down like rain, leaving white soft blankets of frozen water particles.
This demon has just finished a recent contract. A contract with a woman who wanted nothing more than to have revenge against her ex-fiancee who had cheated on her. The contract only lasted in less than a week, typical. Usually, people wanted nothing more than pathetic things. The demon snorted in amusement. Human's are all the same.
Dark shoes crunched against the snow as he walked down the snowy sidewalk, red crimson eyes focused ahead of him. His inky black hair swayed against the winter breeze, his body clad in a tailcoat. Yet, he didn't mind the chilling temperature. He sighed as he thought of what to do next. He could always make another contract and-
"Mew..."
The demon froze as he passed an alley. His demonic hearing caught in the small, frail sound. Walked towards the alley, his eyes scanned the area and landed on a pile of cardboard boxes. Kneeling, he peeked inside the make-shift house.
"Mew..."
Those cold eyes softened uncharacteristically as he stared at the tiny kitten. From the looks of it, the kitten was a Russian blue with white paws and the chest and stomach was also white. But its fur was dirty and messy. The demon could clearly see that the poor kitten was malnourished and shivering from the winter night. He sighed, feeling a petty human emotion he should not feel. But who can blame him? The kitten was also rather adorable, aside from its dirty appearance.
Gently, he scooped the shivering kitten in his arms and stood up. The kitten's eyes opened when he felt warmth radiate from its body. It mewed and big blue and purple eyes stared up at crimson ones. The demon smiled and scratched the kitten's head, earning a purr and a nuzzle.
"You are quite adorable, for an animal."
"Mew."
The demon chuckled. "Why don't I take you with me?"
"Mew."
"Alright. Once we find shelter, I will provide you some milk."
The demon, after paying the landlord of a local Inn, he opened the door and scanned the room. It was quite cozy and had a homey feel to it. The black-haired demon sat down on the bed with his new kitten on his lap. He laid the kitten on its back and lithely scratched its chest.
"So it seems you are a male... My name is Sebastian." The demon felt stupid for introducing his name to an animal.
"Mew." The kitten grabbed the hand with its white paws and began to nibble on it. Sebastian chuckled.
"Why not name you something unique? Tyer... Roman... Sky... Ciel? Why not Ciel?"
"Mew." The kitten approved as it licked the finger and nibbled on it again. Sebastian, in all his demonic life, never felt so much joy. It seems he has found the animal he preferred. Well, he pretty much didn't liked the creatures in Hell where the higher demons keep as pets.
"Alright. Ciel it is. Why don't we go get you that milk?"
"Mew!" Sebastian set the kitten down and walked towards the small kitchen area where he dug through the cabinets, the kitten trotting towards him.
The demon found a bottle of milk, opened it, and checked to see if it wasn't expired. The smell was fine and he grabbed a bowl to pour the milk into it. After that, he set the bowl down and watched the kitten lap the milk hungrily. Sebastian smiled sadly as he knelt beside his new friend, petting its fur as the kitten drank happily.
"It is a shame... For you will soon wither away whilst I continue to live. But nonetheless, I will make our time together worthwhile."
Just a small drabble. Should I continue this plot line in the future chapters?
