AN: This is where you will have to read my previous Kuroshitsuji fic, otherwise it might get confusing. :) This chapter is again pretty mild as we set the scene for the main brunt. As for pairing, well, it’s Ciel/Sebastian as the background pairing but it will have others in there as well…Please enjoy and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. :)
Chapter One: Kitsune
My Lord stares at the creature with wide eyes, of course, as far as Demons go he has only ever encountered myself so it must have been surprising to see such a creature first hand.
“What on earth is it? Where is our guest?”
“This, My Lord, is a Demon Fox.” I declare, unable to hide the note of distaste in my voice. The fox hangs limply in my grip, unwilling to fight due to the presence of Pluto. “They are renowned tricksters and can impersonate human form as easily as I, it takes a trained eye to spot them.”
“Good grief…” Ciel moves forward curiously as the fox wriggles a little and eyes him with a yellow eye. “It looks like any normal fox.”
“Indeed, but when in human form they cannot seem to hide their shadows…I shall dispose of it immediately.” I moved towards the door but the fox suddenly twisted in my grip, it disappeared with a loud pop only to reappear again sitting atop the table.
“Iie!” The Fox said and in a rather spectacular puff of smoke transformed into human form again, upon the desk sat, not a girl but a rather pretty boy of an age with my young Lord. He wore a crimson and gold Kimono, the Obi tied at the front. I am unable to quite fathom the meaning behind this new change of appearance, so I move to stand within easy reach of my young Lord. I will not suffer another demon to steal away what is rightfully mine. After all these years of hard work in ensuring his soul remains perfect, what a waste it would be to see it gobbled up by a pathetic lowly creature such as this. The Fox-child smiled, that infuriating smile that makes my blood boil. “I need help, Ciel-Sama.” He spoke in that same liquid tone, my master glanced at me and raised a questioning eyebrow.
“Master, if I may so bold as to offer some advice?” I said softly.
“Go ahead.”
“I would recommend that you expel this…thing from the mansion, it does not wish us good will.”
The Fox gazed at me with bright, inquisitive eyes. His smile stretched until it revealed some inhumanly sharp teeth, beneath its Kimono a red tail appeared to drape itself casually over the desk like a woman’s stole. And what a fine stole this creature would make for Lady Elizabeth, the finest fox fur, the colour would set off any fine winter coat. At that thought I cannot help my own smile from appearing. “My Lord?”
“I am considering your proposal, Sebastian.” Ciel’s eyes flicked from the fox to me and back again before that dark, teasing smirk appeared and I suddenly knew he would not allow me to remove our guest. I sighed softly. “Our guest will not be harmed; do you understand me, Sebastian?”
I bow low, one hand covering my heart. “As you wish, My Lord.” The fox slid from its perch and bowed low in the Japanese style.
“I thank you, Ciel-sama. I travel far and need rest, you are kind to allow me to stay.” It lifted its head and smiled brilliantly at my young master, I really do believe that it would have looked better around the shoulders of Lady Elizabeth.

I am fully aware that the only reason my Earl Phantomhive allowed the irritating fox-child to stay is purely because I find its presence so repugnant. Unfortunately I am bound by my contract to obey all commands and so I found myself setting up a room especially for the guest, I placed futons upon the floor to make it feel at home, as I would for any distinguished guest of the Phantomhive household…if I could not do even that, what kind of Butler would I be?
The fox watches me work, I try to ignore it but really, the thing is truly abominable! Why we could not have received a visit from a cat demon I will never have any idea, I have always got along rather well with their type. When my tasks are complete I turn to face the fox, it watches me through yellow eyes set into the angelic face of a young boy. The room is dark, candles flicker in their sconces as I take a few steps closer. “You will not come near my master, do you hear me, fox?” I hiss, my eyes glowing brightly in the gloom as the shadow of my wings stretch from wall to wall. My attempts to scare the creature fail, it simply cocks its head to one side and smiles at me.
“It is not Ciel-Sama I am searching for, Kuroshitsuji-Sama.” He says in that rather exquisite voice. I pause, this is a rather unexpected turn of events.
“Then why have you come?”
“For you.” He points his blue silk fan at me, I find myself frozen with surprise. “You know Okasan, you met her once…many, many years ago. Akito remembers, even if he was a cub.” His eyes darkened, turning from yellow to a dark amber, the trees outside are blown by the wind, casting shadows across the wall. Moonlight being chased by darkness. I smile in response, I remember now. It had been so very long ago, I had almost forgotten.
“Your mother was that rather impressive nine-tails?” I ask, already knowing the answer.
The boy nods and slips down from where it had seated itself upon the side board, such terribly rude habits! I must remember to polish that as soon as may be. “You injured Okasama, I will injure you. I will take what you desire most.” He smiled again; I really do despise Canine’s.
“It will be an interesting few days.” I reply, my smile widening. Well, if I allowed a fox-child to steal away my young master, I wouldn’t be much of a Butler at all now, would I?

Japan, fourteen sixty eight, I was wondering the world searching for something to fill the void left by the light of God. I found myself, quite accidentally in the midst of a war. I was attempting to avoid all contact with foreign demons, I had absolutely no wish to get myself embroiled in pointless battles, I was merely in mourning for my previous life. My time in Japan was relatively short, I did not linger due to the excessive amount of supernatural beings that were flourishing on these private shores. However, whilst there I did encounter a strange creature, one that took the form of a beautiful woman, she captured my attentions even knowing that she was not human. I followed her one night, through a deep forest before finding a small cave. If I had known she had cubs I would have left well enough alone, but I was a curious creature back then and I allowed it to get the better of me. I peered inside and spotted them, five little fox cubs all curled up together I was about to move in for a closer look when I was attacked.
I fought my attacker, she was strong but I couldn’t help but notice the wounds on her body and it did not take much to defeat her. She lay at the entrance of her cave, growling at me and bleeding rather heavily. I am afraid that I had no wish to continue the battle, I myself had sustained a few wounds and wished to find a soul to sate my ravening hunger for a while and so I walked away. I left the fox to her cubs and never once looked back.

I explained my minimal involvement with the fox’s mother, but the child held up that curious stone once again. I felt a chill resonate deep inside me, it made my hackles rise and I hissed unconsciously. What was my seal doing on a stone in a place I had visited once, a long, long time ago? Try as I might I was unable to explain the stones appearance. I knew the fox was convinced that it had been me that had killed his mother, or kidnapped her, but surely he had noticed my distaste of dogs and all canine-like creatures? I admit, I am as baffled as I ever have been.
That night I walked the corridors, patrolling outside my masters quarters when I heard a tapping at the window. It came from my Lord’s bedroom; I opened the door holding a candelabra in one hand whilst gazing towards the sheer curtains. There, on the window sill was a familiar sight. “Keaira…!” I glanced at my sleeping master before creeping across the room and flinging open the window, the giant raven flew inside in a whirlwind of black feathers. “What are you doing here?!” He hissed and gazed at my familiar, her great black eye turned to me and she croaked loudly.
I was sent as a messenger, my heart. You have been warned to stay away from this Fox Demon that is haunting this manse. Kill the fox, it will bring destruction down upon you.
My eyes moved automatically to my master, he lay asleep with one hand resting loosely by the side of his head. Keaira hopped from my arm and fluttered gently down to rest upon the white pillow by my young Lord’s head. “Keaira…” He warned in a soft voice, the raven cocked it’s head to the side and blinked at me.
This is the soul? This is the one that has you so obsessed?
“Obsessed?” I smiled, she was always so blunt. “I would say rather intrigued. Is not the most exquisite thing you have ever felt?” Slowly I crawled onto the bed, leaning over the still form of my master and gazing down upon him. Shadows darkened the room, feathers falling to brush his sweet face. “Such a beautiful thing…such a wondrous doll, do you think?”
It is a human and smells of it, Azriel, I grow tired of this game…when will it end?
I lift my hand, allowing my bare fingers to graze a soft cheek as I stare into that angelic face. “It will end when I have what I want.” I hiss softly into the darkness.
And what is it you want, my heart? I can see you are torn. You must choose, in the end, we must all choose…only I hope your choice will not end with your destruction. I have delivered my message, be warned, Azriel, you are being watched.
I feel my familiar leave but it is merely background noise, I am consumed by my own dark desires. My mind filled with his face, his innocence…ah what I would give to feel him under me, to hear him cry out my name in ecstasy! Kissing those lips must be like tasting the sweetest wine, to run my tongue across one of those dainty hip bones would surely be as divine a pleasure as any I have ever experienced. “My Lord…My Ciel…” I breathe softly as I stare down at him, my touches lighter than the dark feathers falling slowly across the pristine sheets. I want him. I want him so badly it drives me to distraction but I know I must reign in my desires, his soul will be worth the wait. Even if I had to wait a thousand years I will, I would wait an eternity for a single sip of the glorious wine that is his soul. Yes, yes and yes! I am shivering with need, excitement and anticipation makes my mouth water. Soon, my love, soon we will be as one and I will have my prize…No other shall taste as sweet, no other shall ever compare…Ciel…
No one shall lay hands upon him. No one shall sully that purity, no one. I will ensure that he remains untainted by filth like that vile creature residing just three doors away, I will ensure that Ciel Phantomhive forever belongs to me.
END NOTE: Ok, just to clear one thing up; The Japanese in this is merely there to show a difference in the languages, It also lends a little more authenticity to it if they're not all speaking perfect English. :)
