Hello there! Thanks for reading! I don't own any of Black Butler! Please let me know if you enjoy!

"Sebastian!" Ciel spat in irritation as the butler climbed back in the carriage.
"Forgive me, young master." Sebastian said softly, vaguely listening to Ciel, his mind on the chibi who whimpered in a troubled sleep, laying on his gloved palm.
"I see you recovered what was lost." Ciel said sarcastically, frowning down at the tiny piece of himself.
A piece he'd prefer to ignore but he had agreed to let Sebastian keep.
Unlike cats, Ciel wasn't allergic to the chibi.
The Earl squinted at the little, female piece of himself in Sebastian's palm. "What's wrong with it?" Ciel asked coldly.
His butler looked lovingly at the small chibi, stroking her chubby cheek with his thumb. "I am not sure, my lord. Alois Trancy gave her a drink of new moon drop tea. Hannah Annafellows would know more about this…..Regardless, the effects could be dramatic."
The softness in Sebastian's gaze made Ciel feel sick to his stomach.
"Wipe that look off your face, Sebastian. It disgusts me." Ciel scowled.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said, smiling slightly instead of showing concern. He looked up to grin at Ciel, "I am a bit concerned about the ramifications this could have on you, young master."
"On me?!" Ciel asked in shock. "What do you mean?!"
"She is a part of you….whatever affects her may have an implication on you as well…" Sebastian smirked.
"Nonsense!" Ciel huffed. "She may be a piece of me, but that's all she'll ever be. She's just a doll for you to play with, nothing more. What she does can't possibly interfere with my life. Anymore than her existence already does." Ciel said with a glare at his butler.
He really despised seeing Sebastian constantly carrying her around, cooing to her, catering to her every whim.
However, maybe there was some fact in Sebastian's idea.
Ciel's insides were gripped with fear as he wondered….what would happen to the chibi?
Would the same thing happen to him?
Not another word passed between master and butler as the carriage tumbled along to the Phantomhive manor.
Both were too worried.
Once they arrived, Sebastian helped Ciel out and tucked him in to bed, making sure the chibi was safely on a pillow.
After Ciel was settled, Sebastian brought the chibi to his room, just like every night, and sat her on his pillow.
Sadness touched the butler's eyes as he watched her tiny chest rise and fall rapidly.
Sebastian hoped his little lady would be alright.
He frowned as he pulled his gloves off with his teeth. Then he went on to remove his coat, vest, and shirt, sitting his pocket watch on the small nightstand in his room.
He would stay in his room all night.
Maybe it would comfort the chibi to know that Sebastian was there with her, beside her.
He laid down and covered the little chibi with a few strand of his raven-black hair, per their usual nightly routine, since she couldn't do it herself tonight.
"I'm here, my lady." Sebastian whispered softly to her.
Laying there in the darkness, listening to the soft sound of the little chibi breathing, the butler found himself dozing…..
His thoughts were with his little lady as he fell into a troubled sleep.

Sebastian did not realize how exhausted he was. It was still early, but not as early as he would have preferred when his eyes cracked open. A small, curious voice woke him, "Bas-tian?"
Still half-asleep, Sebastian immediately relaxed.
The chibi was alright, she was calling his name as she always did.
She placed an elegant, tapered hand over his bare chest and he pulled her into his arms.
Her bare hand on his chest and he pulled her into his arms?!
What happened to his little lady?!
Sebastian's eyes went wide with shock as he stumbled out of the bed.
"Bas-tian?" A very innocent, very full size, and very female Ciel sat staring at him from the bed. Her deep sapphire eyes confused and a little hurt as she watched Sebastian recoil from her.
Sebastian blinked in shock, eyes still wide.
He heard Hannah mention that soul fragments wanted to thrive…
The new moon drop tea….
This was his little lady now!
As the butler still reeled in shock, all of a sudden, someone was pounding at his door.
"Sebastian! Where is my breakfast?! Are you ill?! You've never been late! What's wrong!?" Ciel shouted from the other side.
Oh dear, this would never do. He couldn't possibly let Ciel see the chibi like this.
"Pardon me, my lord, there seems to have been an issue with your fragment that I've had to tend. Please accept my deepest apologies." Sebastian said as he quickly whirled his clothes on in a couple of seconds, slicked his hair back, and opened the door to address his master, slamming it shut behind him before Ciel could see.
He locked it behind his back to make sure the chibi stayed in the room.
Ciel frowned. "You're hiding something. Your nose is bleeding."
Sebastian's cheeks tinted just a hint of pink as he turned to briefly wipe at his nose.
Yes, it was bleeding just a bit.
He couldn't help it.
Sebastian smirked, in addition to being very innocent and very curious, his little lady was now also very naked.
"Never mind that, my lord. Please have a seat at the table and I will see to breakfast." Sebastian said as he ran off to the kitchen.
"Sebastian!" Ciel cried behind him.
He was already irritated with his butler and it wasn't even noon yet.
Sebastian scowled in thought as he made his way down the hall.
Once Sebastian arrived in the kitchen, Sebastian heard a familiar, irritating voice that made his skin crawl.
"Hello, Bassy~."
"Grell." Sebastian greeted the red-haired reaper with a fake smile. "You've come at a most opportune time."
The chibi couldn't stay like this.
How was he going to get his little lady back to her adorable, miniature size?
The shinigamis started this, Sebastian hoped they would know how to finish it.
