His Butler, Mysterious

Hell is Empty and all the Devils are here – William Shakespeare

“Oh my! Isn’t that just darling?!”

“This would look simply lovely on you dear.”

“Good ol’ English Apples! Come an’ get your English Apples!”

“We need some meat for the pie!”

“Out the way! Make way!”

“Oh I say isn’t that…”

“…Excellent quality…”

“Very good, sir…”

“..Proceed…the…”

“CIEL!”

“My Lord, I do believe that is Lady Elizabeth…” The street was busy, we were surrounded by people as they went about their daily business. I gazed down at my young lord and master, Earl Ciel Phantomhive and could plainly see his distaste.

“Get me out of here, Sebastian.”

“As you wish, young Lord.” I easily lifted the tiny Lord into my arms and slipped into the bustle of London, the stench of humanity surrounded me, clogging my nose and making me sick…but I persevere. Why? I hear you ask. Because I am bound to the arrogant little Lordling in my arms, our fates entwined so intricately it is like strands of thread woven together. I joined myself to him with a powerful seal, a contract. We shall never part until the contract has been fulfilled and our roles are complete and then both Sebastian Michaelis, extraordinary Butler and Ciel Phantomhive shall perish and in their place shall stand my true self, for I am one hell of a butler.

After navigating the sea of stinking flesh I discover a seemingly empty alley way, I take my charge into the shadows and place him upon his feet. Ciel peers cautiously around the corner, searching for his intended bride I am about to speak when something tugs at my preternatural senses. With a small frown I turn, using my body to shield my Master from any potential harm. It is then that I spot a small girl, very pretty for a mere street rat but there is something very odd about her that I take a moment to put my finger upon. “Sebastian…?” My master spots this unnatural child and suddenly she smiles, surely those teeth are much too sharp for a human being? Ciel merely dismisses the street urchin but I cannot. I see it, it’s not exactly hard to spot even beneath the layers of fabric in the little girls dress.

“My my…” I say softly and the creatures smile widens into something Canine-like. “You are a long way from home.”

“What are you talking about, Sebastian?” Ciel turned to me with a curious expression and once again he sees the child. “The girl? Why, surely she is Asian?”

“Indeed sir.” I eye the creature warily, to find something of this calibre so far from the distant shores of Japan is almost unheard of. I have travelled to the far reaches of the world and have seen one only once before, and she was a very ancient and powerful one at that. This…this was but a child.

“A sex slave, do you think?”

“I do not think so, sir…Shall we continue on our way?” I turn back to my master, I will not allow him near this creature. It could pose a threat to all of the human’s at Phantomhive Manor. Ciel draws his eyes from the child and nods, I follow him from the alley and back to our original course.

It is a little while after we have retrieved the new clothes for my Master that I realise we are once again being followed, but not, this time, by a human girl. The carriage is moving quickly, speeding down the road and swaying with the movement. I can see the shadow of the creature on the side of our transport and it is not long before I realise our driver is not the man we set out to London with. I sigh, preparing myself for a fight. I would hate to ruin yet another tail coat, high quality ones are so very difficult to come by.

“My lord, we are home.” I say and step down from the carriage, I do not expect our new footman to draw down the small set of stairs for my Lord so I bend to the task myself. Ciel is obviously confused as to why the footman has not done the task himself, I have no wish to alarm him to the fact that we are being haunted so I merely distract him. “What would My Lord wish for this evenings supper?”

“Oh…” Ciel considers as he steps from the carriage. “The ham…” He answered as I guided him back towards the Manor, I was momentarily distracted by the large shadow following us, this was not an oddly shaped cloud. I sigh and risk a glance upwards, yes, there it was watching us from on high. All human imitation abandoned as it floated above us. I tried to send it a warning glare, my eyes lighting up like little red lanterns but it simply grinned at me. I have decided to expand my hatred of Dogs to include all canine-like creatures.

As I step into the shadow of the Manor the creature ceases to pursue us, I sigh with relief as I was not looking forward to having to deal with a mange ridden beast from the Far East at this time.

Later, as the master is making his slow way through his second helping of Strawberry Short cake I hear the door bell ring. “Who on earth is calling at such a late hour?” My master asks with a frown.

“Perhaps it is important, I shall go and receive the guest.” I bow and leave my lord to his sweet. The Manor servants are watching me curiously, they too must be wandering who is calling. I reach the large doors and pull them open to reveal a rather stunning young woman. She stands, bathed in moonlight, an almost unearthly glow surrounds her as she smiles. Her hair falls down her back in an ebony wave, her eyes were large and rather innocent looking. Her Kimono of the prettiest blue with silver and gold thread woven into patterns of birds, yet unfortunately for her I am immune to such charms. “Dear me, it appears our stray cub has found its way here.” I say and stare at the creature, it smiles with that irritatingly canine grin, there is no way it cannot know what I am yet it stands there taunting me! “We do not feed beggars and vagrants at this house, you must leave.” She continues to stand there, grinning as if I have all the time in the world. “I said, leave! This is my territory and I do not suffer any other to come near. Do you understand?” For added affect I add a smile of my own, revealing my pointed, vampiric canines and the bloody glow of my eyes…but once again it seems this creature is too stupid to know when to back off. “Ridiculous!” I say in a low growl. “Do you know who I am?!”

“Everyone knows.”

Her voice takes me aback, I pause mid-step. It is like the sweetest music, like a river gurgling over stones in mountain passes…but no, I cannot be fooled by this creature’s wily ways. “Then why do you dare disturb me?”

“My name will be…A-Ki-O…” The creature speaks with the musical accent of the Japanese, a lovely sound but not coming from the jaws of such a thing as the one stood before me. “I come many, many leagues to meet you and the human child.” The girl put both hands in her lap and bowed low. “I come for help.”

“Why ever would you come for help from me?” I am more shocked than I should have been, the creature could perhaps slip past my guard.

“Akio has lost his mother.” A sadness entered the creatures eyes. “We not know where she has gone, we try to find her…we search whole of Japan but found no sign…we only find this…” She lifted a small, palm sized stone and showed me the front. My hand itches, the hand that holds the Pentacle, the one that holds the symbol of my contract. It matches the image carved into the stone perfectly. “We find this in Den, it not our making…Please, I beg you help us find our mother.” Once again she bowed low.

Call me callous but I cannot bear begging, it sickens me. “Leave.” I turn and make to close the door but then I see the young master standing at the top of the stairs. “My Lord, I assumed you would be resting…”

“I wished to greet our late caller…why would you dismiss her?”

I glance over my shoulder, the shadow is clear as the moonlight highlights the thing at the door. “My Lord, with all due respect I would not recommend….”

“Let her in, offer refreshments…where are your manners, Sebastian?” The smirk on my Master’s face is almost enough begin the slow embers of anger within me, but I push it all away…after all, what kind of Butler would I be if I could not hold my temper?

“As you wish, My Lord.” I bow, one hand upon my heart before returning to our guest. “You may enter, Akito-san.” My Lord wished for manners, I would be remiss in my duties as a Phantomhive Butler if I could not greet a guest using their favoured honorifics.

“I thank you Kuroshitsuji-sama…”

That title, it is certainly pleasing to hear it. I turn to see the little Lord surrounded by the staff I appointed for him, the previous Butler Tanaka looks as if he has found some energy to become…’real’ again. He is staring rather intently at the girls rather suspicious shadow, I smile, it is good to know that someone else in this mansion is aware of what the Master has invited into the house. “Please, follow me to the drawing room.” I begin guiding the girl through the house, she is fascinated by it all as she gazes around with wide eyes, occasionally she fans herself with a rather exquisite fan. She smiles that horrible smile again and I cannot help the shudders that creep up my spine, she is going to more trouble than she is worth. Once I have settled our guest in the room I leave and find my Master awaiting me, that little smirk on his lips that makes me wish I could slap it right off of his pretty little face…but I won’t. I would not stoop to such crass actions, let alone risk endangering our contract. “My Lord, we really must speak of this…guest.” I say softly.

“What is there to speak of? She is a girl who is far away from home and is searching for her mother.”

Ah, Ciel, the hard, cold hearted little boy is not quite so cold as he would portray. He is still a child. “There is more to it than that, but we must speak away from the others.”

Ciel sighs petulantly. “Very well Sebastian, but be quick.”

The servants all moved off, talking softly about our guest. The only one who remains is Tanaka who once again sits in the corner sipping Green tea and laughing to himself. “My Lord, the girl is not all she appears to be.”

“What is she?”

“The girl is a-” Unfortunately, before I am able to complete my sentence there is a loud crash and rather dog-like yelp from the drawing room. I sigh to myself, this episode is becoming an ever increasing irritation. The door opens as I push it inwards to reveal the elegant silver tray on which I set my Master’s favourite cakes has been over turned and the cakes scattered. A pot of tea lies upon its side spilling its contents all over the carpet. I had cleaned only that morning, it seems a Butler’s work is never at an end. At the window is the hulking form of our resident Hell Hound Pluto in his dog form. My eyes scanned the room, searching for our guest I found her curled up under a wing back chair and quivering. I smile, unable to help myself as I step lightly into the room and walk towards the quivering thing, without permeable I reach in and drag out a rather reluctant fox. “So, you decide to show us your true form, Akito-San? Anyone up for a spot of hunting?”

END NOTE: Ok, hope you enjoyed this short opening chappy. Firstly I know Akito is a man’s name…all will be explained later do not fear. :D I would dearly love to hear what you think of it so far, I will attempt to get chapters out as regularly as possible but I have many other projects on at this moment in time, please forgive me. (Oh yes, and smut will come later, bear with me please.)
