A/N: The last one was really short, sorry about that ): Oh well, I'll just write more in this one. This may be a little boring but, people have seemed eager to read the backstory, so here it is. Hopefully after this one the main plot will start. I may also do little omakes at random intervatals cuz this will be a long WIP. Anyway, I'm not gonna keep ya long cuz I know your excited. * His middle name is never mentioned so I made one up. Since his first name is French I kept with the theme. Ambroise is a boy's name and means immortal. I think... Oh and according to the website which I found that from Ciel is a girl's name XD
Thanks to:

Paxloria-thanks again :3
He was cold. He was hungry. He was lost. Ciel had spent God knows how long searching for Sebastian in Hell and he hadn't eaten a single soul. He had never been in so much pain and he was rather surprised how he hadn't collapsed yet. Oh, yeah that was right. He was a demon now and he could endure more pain for much longer but, this was just something else! He had never felt this way ever! At first it had started as a gnawing hunger that had just got stronger and stronger until it had reached this. He felt like his insides were eating themselves. He felt like he was going to be sick but, he had once asked Sebastian about this and he had said that demons didn't vomit unless they were pregnant. At the time he had reasoned that it was just how things went but, now he really felt like he just needed to be sick. A new wave of pain overtook his body and he collapsed to his knees. He felt...defeated. He had never felt like that before either. That was when Ciel had decided to curl himself up into a ball and wish to vanish. He just wanted to die because at that point he didn't see a reason to keep living.
"Is this what you want? To lay down in the filth and die like a pig?" Somebody asked leaning over him, "Seeing somebody who was so strong and still could be, just give up is pathetic!"
"I'm not giving up! I'm just resting and don't call me pathetic!" He snapped looking up at the person who had offended him.
The demon had light purple wavy hair that stopped at his waist and deep red eyes that were framed by his full fringe and two neat curls that stopped at his shoulders either side of his face. He wore a tight fitting purple leather catsuit with no sleeves and the legs stopped halfway down his thighs. He had a pair of black ankle boots on showing off all of his legs and he wore a pair of long light purple gloves that matched his hair.
"Well, then. If your not dying from starvation and giving up without trying then I'll just leave you to what your doing. Have a nice day." The demon chuckled beginning to walk away.
Ciel knew that this was his only chance at survival. He was not just going to let it go to waste. None of the other demons had given a damn if he was dying or not, to them he had just been another pathetic lost child. He knew that he wasn't like that but, he was in no state to argue considering his clothes were in tatters and he was covered in filth. This was not him. He was not like this. In that moment he decided something, he would not just let himself be treated like dirt. He would be strong!
"You don't know anything about me!" He yelled after the other slowly scrambling to his feet, "I'm not going to let myself be insulted by a stranger because if I do, I'll be nothing more than a dog licking the dirt off your feet! I refuse to lay down and die!"
Quickly after that a new wave of pain hit him again and this time, he could feel himself losing consciousness. His legs buckled under his weight and he felt himself drop to the floor. Before all of his senses left his body he felt somebody lifting him and carrying him away.
"It' okay little one."The purple demon cooed affectionately, "Your not alone anymore..."
The next thing he knew, he was in a large plush bed in a room he didn't recognize. It wasn't completely different to what he was used to. The entire room was all decorated in shades of blue and green. He had to admit, it was quite lovely and very much to his tastes.
"You are awake, that's good. I was beginning to think that you had died." A vice said.
Ciel was so surprised that he nearly fell off the bed in shock. He hadn't noticed that the other demon had been sat there all along.
"I'm okay. Thank you for helping me."He yawned, "How long have I been asleep?"
"One year. You were nearly dead of exhaustion. Because you were human until your a 'full grown' you will still need sleep and food to some extent." He explained ruffling the younger s hair like an affectionate older brother.
"One year!" Ciel exclaimed, "I've got to leave! Thanks for everythin-"
"Nobody's going to miss you. If somebody still cared about you, would you of been on the streets starving?" He asked, "Stay here with us. We can give you everything you want and need. Sounds good, right?"
"...Yes, it does I suppose but, I don't know who you are or where I am." He sighed.
"Your in the Plane of Solitude, in the Grande Palace. This is where I live with my mate, Echo. My name is Harold, simple known as the 'Smiling Assassin'. I'm a soldier and hunter but, that doesn't mean I'm heartless. Now, tell me, what is your name little one?" Harold explained.
"I'm Ciel. Ciel Ambroise* Phantomhive." He said introducing himself offering his hand.
Harold shook it roughly with a huge smile decorating his face. Ciel's first impression of him that he was the one who looked after everyone and would be like the father figure around the area to the younger demons. Since he said that he lived in some sort of Palace, he suspected that he was some form of royalty. He also assumed that he would be high in the military ranks.
Years passed and eventually Ciel was old enough to start his own life. He wanted to stay with Harold in all truth but, they both thought it best to split up after one hundred year. It was quite abrupt really. Harold had been the one to leave, saying he had to go see somebody and for Ciel to take as much time as he wanted to leave. He left a few hours after he had.
About a year later while exploring Earth in search for a meal he had met Yuki. Their meeting hadn't been the most civilized. Yuki had been on a 'hunt' when they had met and Ciel had walked down the alley he was in with his 'prey' while 'feeding'. It was probably one of the most awkward and embarrassing moments in his life. He was wearing his battle suit (which Harold had made for him. It took the demon forty years to get Ciel to agree to wear it) and Yuki had been extracting the poor man's soul by his own special methods. Ciel had just been walking down the alley and turned the corner at the end when he had seen the pink haired demon with is legs wrapped around some man. He was just going to turn around and go back the way he came when the guy called out to him.
"Yo, who's that scanky bitch?" He yelled sounding extremely drunk as he pulled away from the pink haired demon.
"Excuse me?" Ciel snapped insulted.
"Just ignore em' and carry on!" the pink demon cooed.
"Naw, let me just teach this bitch a lesson for sneaking up on me!" The drunk slurred stumbling towards Ciel pulling out a pocket knife.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that..." He growled slinking into the darkness.
The man stopped not seeing where he had vanished. He looked around for a moment before taking a few steps forward. Ciel saw this as a perfect opportunity to scare the hell out of him. This was going to be fun.
"Where are you you little slut?"He yelled, "Come out bitch. I just wanna have some fun!"
Ciel's eyes flashed red at the insult and the man visibly paled. All the poor drunk could see in the darkness was two shining red lights.
"Wh-what the HELL!" He yelled stumbling backwards.
"How very accurate."Ciel mocked, "What the Hell indeed."
He stepped out into the light of the streetlamps showing off his full body two his two victims. The man who had fallen on his backside turned bright red as he looked up and down his body.
"Damn Missy, you've got a fine body."He cooed wiggling his eyebrows.
"I'm a man." He replied.
"Oh... well I'm not really bothered what gender you are, sweetie. I just want a good one. The pink haired idiot over there isn't really satisfying my needs if you know what I mean."
"You disgust me to no end. They fact you think it's okay to proposition young boys in alleyways is sick. Even as a demon I'm disgusted beyond words. And the fact you pulled a knife on me has not lightened my mood. So, , how do you want to die tonight? Short and painless or long and agonizing?" Ciel spat.
"Heh, you like that whole occult thing don't cha? So, how much are you charging?" The man asked.
Ciel was fed up with his antics and decided that he was having none of it. He roughly kicked the drunk bastard in the head, impaling him with his heel. The poor man didn't know what had hit. He was dead on impact. Both Ciel and Yuki watched as a wispy dark substance slowly made it's way out of the man's mouth and slithered in their direction.
"What is that?" The pink demon gasped.
"That is a soul. You haven't seen one before?" Ciel asked skeptically.
" N-no. I'm an incubus. The soul is transferred straight into our bodies during well...you know!" He explained turning bright red.
Ciel smirked as he grabbed the soul that was idly floating by his face at that moment.
"Here."He said offering the younger demon, "This is yours. You were hunting him down and I ruined that for my own amusement."
"Thanks."The pink haired one said gladly accepting the soul, "I'm not very good at this whole hunting thing..."
"I can see that."
They both stood there for a moment watching the soul squirm in Yuki's grasp. To Ciel that wasn't worth the trouble of killing that worthless scumbag but, the poor incubus must have thought so. Their tastes were probably very different.
"Hey, who are you anyway? Your obviously a demon but..." He asked.
"I'm Ciel." He said offering a friendly smile.
"I'm Yuki. Nice to meet you!" He said cheerfully offering his hand.
After that, Yuki had followed Ciel everywhere including when he made a contact. They soon came across Le Gatou who had been living off what he could scavenge which pretty much was just homeless people and newly dead corpses. They had been together for ten years when Harold came back. His mate had been killed in the Angel/Demon war that had just suddenly erupted from nowhere. The Reapers had got involved as well but, somehow the Demon's had won and taken over the reach which was a small plane between Hell, Earth and Heaven meaning that they could shut off the angel's access to heaven if they wanted, which they did so now earth was a playground for demons. When Harold returned, he was no longer that kind helpful leader. He was a cold heartless bastard who demanded too much of everyone. Of course, he asked everyone who he had helped to repay him. Ciel had tried but, had ended up nearly dying from starvation again. Harold had been there to pick up the pieces again and give him time to repay him for this help. That was how their viscous circle had started. He knew that Harold wasn't a bad person, he was just empty now he had lost Echo. He had wanted to help but, every time he tried he was shot down. Now, the friend he had known was so far away from the person he had been there was no telling if he would ever come back.
"So, now you know. I did omit some information because well, you really don't want to know how me and Yuki used to lure in our 'meals'." Ciel sighed as he finished off his tenth cup of tea, "I suppose the rest is just normal for a demon. Making contracts, eating souls, annoying reapers."
"Hmm, I see. So, I take it Grell would be constantly bugging you about me?" Sebastian asked fixing Ciel with a hopeful gaze.
"Yes, he did." Ciel replied as causing Sebastian's look of hope to be replaced with one of terror, "I also sold him some of your body parts. Hope you don't mind."
"No that's fin- wait. What! You sold him pieces of me!?" Sebastian exclaimed.
Ciel chuckled at the butler's out burst. This was going to be fun.
