Chapter 4:
The Phantomhive manor, home to the earl Phantomhive and his forever faithful butler had two extra guests this day. These guests are not necessarily invited. One of the unwanted guests was one Alois Trancy, last heir of the Trancy family and also a used-to-be enemy of Ciel. Along with him was his little brother Luka.
Ciel sighed in annoyance, never had he thought that he would meet the annoying blonde brat ever again. "Hey hey, Ciel what does this thing do?" Alois questioned said blunette while examining the computer screen. It seems he had overcame the discomfort of being in the presence of the two demons. Staring at the screen curiously Alois felt about the sides of the screen and pulled out the wires. "Oh dear, how am I suppose to fix this back again?" the blonde sneaked a glance at the master of the house and his servant who were occupied with healing his little brother. Making up his mind, Alois blindly plugged the wires into the numerous sockets. "No…" Ciel noticed the blonde brat's actions a second too late. A blinding light followed by a loud booming noise shook the mansion, that was the second explosion of the day.
The butler clad in black slowly turned around, he was barely holding in his irritation and anger. "How dare this little brat ruin all my hard work the moment he stepped into the house, how dare he!" Sebastian muttered angrily, as much as he wanted to just grab the blonde brat by his ankles and smack his arse, he had to refrain from doing so. If word got out that the butler of the Phantomhive family had abused a child, the reputation his young master had worked so hard to gain will be ruined in a single moment. The older demon rolled up his sleeves and prepared to clean up the mess. It seems that Claude Faustus that useless butler had not educated the children under his care about the advancing technology in this century. Curse that problematic demon, causing trouble for me even after your death.
Ciel watched in amusement as his butler tried to clean up the mess left by the explosion. He was not worried about having to replace any of the broken items, if his butler could not even do such a simple task of cleaning up, he would not be fit to be the Phantomhive butler. However, he was still pretty pissed about the blonde messing up his place. Turning his head to face the troublemaker, Ciel glared at him out of his single visible eye. Alois blushed in embarrassment under the blue-haired boy's hard gaze. Alois stuck his tongue out and looked at Ciel challengingly. The Earl turned away, refusing to take up the blonde's childish challenge. A brown blur flashed past the demon boy startling him. He had forgotten about the younger boy. "Big brother! Are you alright?" Luka ran towards Alois, brows creased with worry. After making sure that his brother was fine, Luka's eyes started watering and he let out a sigh of relief. "T…Thank goodness you're okay. If you were not, I…I…" the little boy started sobbing into Alois' shirt. The blonde was surprised by the sudden change in Luka, regret washed over him for making his little brother worried. He enveloped Luka in an embrace and held him that way for a long time.
Luka felt comforted in his brother's embrace. Knowing that his only friend and family had not been taken away from him gave him a deep sense of relief. The little boy had only ever felt love from his brother, losing him would devastate Luka. The brown hair boy in oversized suspenders wish that he could stay like this with Alois forever, with this thought in mind, his lashes fluttered and he shut his eyes.
Alois hugged his little brother and tried to comfort his shaking form. Seeing his brother like this broke Alois' heart. As time slowly passed by, Luka's breathing slowed to a steady pace. The blonde lifted his brother up and carried him in his arms. Ciel noticing the movements of the duo, had ordered Sebastian to bring them to a guest room. The butler made a move to relieve Alois from his burden but was swiftly rejected by the blonde who held the bundle even closer to him. Humans had always interest the demon, this little action of the blonde had intrigued the older demon. Why carry the burden yourself if others offer to help you with it? Alas, Sebastian thought, this is the way the human mind works and a demon like him may never be able to comprehend it. The butler got cut short of his musings by an abrupt "ahem" from his young master. With a slight nod, the butler clad in black led the two guests to their (hopefully temporary) rooms. After ensuring that the duo were settled down, Sebastian headed back to his master to receive his next orders.
Surprisingly, the earl had no orders for his butler. Skipping school and not having plans for the rest of the day could do that to you I supposed. The black butler stood beside his master watching over him as he rest. "My lord, perhaps you were affected by the two troublesome brats. Would you like some hot milk to calm your nerves?" Sebastian asked Ciel, sarcasm evident in his words. "Sebastian! I am not a kid anymore, who would be affected by those two brats!" Ciel replied, affronted. "Ah, then what would I do with the milk I prepared for you?" the butler replied sighing. "How should I know? You're the butler. Go feed it to your beloved cats or something." Ciel half-yelled at the man. "Yes my lord," Sebastian bowed to his young master and walked out of the room. Glad to be rid of the demon, Ciel closed his eyes to rest for a while. After a moment or two, his eyes shot opened and he bolted from his chair. "Sebastian! You kept cats in the house?!"
