Please remember to review! :D
Ciel: W..What is the meaning of this story!?

Me:*Gasp* You're so mean!
Sebastian: Hmhm, what were my lines? Oh yes..No more orders today Ciel..*evil snicker*
Ciel: *death glare*
~Truth~
Sebastian let Ciel walk outside, Finny ran up to him and gasped.
"S..Sebastian?! What are you doing with the young master?! Why does he have a collar and leash?" The young destructive gardener shouted with a slight flail.
"The young lord is now my pet, you will do well to respect him however, he is still your master, and temporarily still head of the estate."
"Uh...but..uh..." He stuttered but received a slight glare from the butler so he just accepted for now, feeling uneasy. When he backed down Sebastian gave a sweet grin and turned to take the boy back into the manor.
Ciel followed the butler with an angry glare, but he didn't fight him. It would be useless. Instead, he needed to come up with a plan to regain his authority over himself and the manor. To help remind the man of his place. He was the Master of the estate and the Master of the demon, which he summoned and held contract to.
"What are you scheming my lord." Sebastian asked, and Ciel realized that the butler had been looking down at him for the last few minutes. Just watching him.
"Tsk. Wouldn't you like to know."The boy retorted with a deadly glare. "You have forgotten your place you incompetent fool." He snapped as he stood his ground, straight and bold. To try and give the more dominant expression. However, because of his lack of height compared to the butler, it came off to Sebastian as simply rather cute.
"Hmhm, now now, we wouldn't want you getting into any trouble. How about we don't speak to me in that tone." He said with a deadly grin, which of course, only added to the boys anger.
"Damn it! What is wrong with you?! Have you completely lost your sense of sanity?! I summond y-" Ciel froze when Sebastian placed his hand painfully tight over his mouth and Mayrin walked by with Bard.
"Uh, master! What's go'n on here?!" The veteran shouted at Sebastian.
" This is a request from the queen herself. The young master isn't feeling quite himself, I have been given authority over the house hold and am to care for Ciel and act in his best interest." Sebastian said as Ciel squirmed in his grasp. " All of you, back to work. Make dinner, and make something sweet as a treat for the young lord while I go tend to his bath." He said and had a slight warning glint in his eyes.
Once in the bedroom again, Sebastian let go. Ciel ran away from him immediately and turned to face him, grabbing a book off of his desk and chucking it at the butler, who simply caught it before it could smash into the lamp beside him. He set the book down on the night stand.
"My lord, I'm being quite patient with you, but your making it difficult." He started. " You belong to me now, you are my Neko. Now be good and come here, so we can head to the baths." He finished with a slight bite to his words. Ciel glared but did as he asked and went over to the crimson eyed man and followed him to the baths. He supposed maybe he could come up with a plan while he soaked in the water. Hopefully it wouldn't be as hard for him to get into the water this time.
Sebastian opened the door and walked in behind the boy. Ciel felt the steam from the water and enjoyed it. He relaxed and walked over to the waters edge and began walking in, but as soon as his tail touched the water he jumped back out.
"My lord, don't do this again, it's only water. You've never had a problem with it before. The water will feel quite different when it touches your tail and ears, as you know. However, I cannot allow you to not bathe because of something as trivial as that." Sebastian said as he pulled out a tiny device from his waste coat pocket. Ciel couldn't quite see what it was.
"I don't want to." Ciel said quietly.
"I understand Master. Please get into the water." He said as he approached on the tile floor.
Ciel shot a glare and looked back at the water. "I'm giving you another chance, please, enter the water my lord. You will feel better once you're clean. Do not disobey me."
With that the boy gritted his teeth and slapped the water, sending a large splash to cover Sebastian. The demon butler sighed and closed his eyes to wipe away the water from his face. He then held up his hand, and with a stern expression, clicked a button on the device he held. Immediately Ciel gasped and whimpered as he covered his large cat ears.
"W...What is that noise?!" He begged as he held his ears down and winced.
"Noise?" Sebastian taunted. "I don't hear anything. Hmhm...now, how about you get into the water." The loud high pitched tone stopped. Ciel sighed and shook his head to try to erase what had happened. He looked at the water and then sunk his foot into it but then jumped out and took off, he bolted past Sebastian but was captured with a strong arm, that held him tightly. Ciel struggled against the butlers strength but it was no use.
"No! I don't like it! Put me down this instant you pathetic demon!" The phantomhive boy demanded with cruel detest.
"Sorry my lord, but you must bathe."
"That's an order!"
Sebastian smirked and his eyes glowed slightly as he set the boy on his feet by the waters edge and looked him sternly in the eye. Ciel felt a bubble of fear rise in his gut as he looked into the demonic magenta eyes of his demon butler.
"Master, I am obligated to care for you to the best of my ability, as well as proceed with the terms of our contract. However, if caring for you properly gets in the way of a simple order you give me, the order is negated." He answered calmly but with hidden mischief. He set the boy in the water and Ciel nearly screamed. "Relax my lord, after a few moments your body will get used to the water."
The young Earl Phantomhive simply fought hard against his butler who held him in the water.
"No! No! No!" He repeated as he tried to flea away from the warm liquid around him. Sebastian sighed and clicked the button again, and this time it was worse, a higher pitch. He squirmed and covered his poor ears and whimpered. " Okay! Okay! Make it stop!"
"You will get into the water without causing trouble?" Sebastian questioned with a gentle devious smile.
"Yes! Yes! Just make it stop! I order you!" The boy screamed and at once the tone stopped and he panted and pouted as he looked up at the butler.
"Into the water the rest of the way Ciel.." Sebastian said coolly, slipping the device into his pocket again.
Ciel hesitated for a time, the butler gave him some time to gain his confidence. Then the boy strode out into the water. He wasn't about to be made a fool of because of some stupid bath. He made his way out into the deeper area and folded his arms and pouted, his cheeks a rosey red and his ears lopsided. Sebastian smiled and covered his mouth to hide it. His young lord was so adorable this way.
"I admire your courage, however, I can't wash your hair if you're all the way over there my lord."The demon said humorously with a slight chuckle, Ciel came over to him quickly, not minding the good excuse to leave the deeper region. Sebastian dumped some water on the boys head and instantly he panicked shaking is head and trying to empty his ears of the water.
"My, my..such a feisty kitten you are.." Sebastian said softly. " You don't want that horrid sound to come back do you?"
Ciel froze and shook his head frantically.
"No.." He whined.
Sebastian smiled.
"Then let me wash your hair.."He said and gently lathered some of the shampoo he had bought at the vet's office into the childs hair and over his ears. The fragrance was red rose. Ciel sat as still as physically possible so that the butler could do his job.
"Close your eyes my lord." He said and Ciel did. With that he dumped water over the young lords head, rinsing all of the soap out carefully. Next was the conditioner, which the boy also sat still for until it was rinsed out. Washing his body was easy as well, Ciel found that he felt he could fall asleep at any moment and began nodding off, finally relaxed in the warm water and used to its strange feel on his feline appendages. Sebastian helped the boy out of the water and into a towel, walking him slowly back to his bedroom where he helped him dry off and get into his dinner clothes.
"Sebastian.."
The demon almost didn't hear the child, he looked up curiously at him as he buttoned his shirt.
"Sebastian...I don't want this. I don't want to be this way. I don't want to be your pet. I am Ciel Earl of Phantomhive, head of Funtom Toys. How could I possibly submit to this.."He said solemnly not allowing tears to fill his eyes. Sebastian looked serious but kind and helped put the eye patch on his young master.
"My lord, this is simply how things will be, eventually it wont be so hard to accept. We will be going to see lady Elizabeth tomorrow and explaining everything, and then off to the Trancy manor to see Claude and Alois."
Ciel looked up at him with a begging expression.
"Don't take me back there. I refuse to go. I don't want to see that stupid blonde fool. Nor do I want to see the man that did this to me." He looked up at him again, this time with a slight anger in his eyes. " Speaking of which, that man should be dead by now, I should not have had to ask you to kill him..you should have done it anyways, and any other time you would have.."
Sebastian finished dressing him and looked down at the boy with a calm blank expression.
"So why was it different this time.." The Phantomhive child asked in a harsh tone. Sebastian stood there for a moment without any emotion then smirked and leaned down to his masters ear.
"Because my lord, I asked Claude to do this to you." He said darkly as he licked his lips and stood back up.
"W...what...?"Ciel whispered to himself, unable to get the word to surface any louder.
"Hmhm, its true my lord. I asked Claude to change you, after he was successful with Alois I knew he would be successful with you. Now you can have even more revenge and hatred to feed your soul. Hmhm..." The demon said, eyes glowing and a slightly darker aura around him. "Now, it's time for your dinner.." Sebastian said as he guided the stunned Ciel out of the room and down the hall. He couldn't get himself to snap out of it, all he could hear were those words. 'Because my lord, I asked Claude to do this to you.'
Sebastian held a calm victorious smile as he pulled up a chair beside the young lord, and began feeding him. Ciel didn't protest at all, when Sebastian told him to open his mouth, he did.
"Tonights dinner my lord is Murugi Curry, and soft chicken boiled with spices, and onions seasoned with coriander and yogurt, and for desert there will two of your favorites, white chocolate raspberry cheesecake as well as white chocolate souffle. I hope it is to your liking." He said simply with hidden deviousness as he gave the young lord another bite of the chicken.
