Chapter 3: His Butler, Anger

Lailah followed Zachariah who followed Sebastian to their master. She was happy to introduce herself to the little boy. Although she would not tell him truly who she was, she still wanted Ciel to know that she existed. That she was there for him. When they reached the door to the room of Ciel Phantomhive, Sebastian turned around and ordered the two to stay outside the door. Lailah and Zachariah nodded and patiently waited for Sebastian to go in and inform the Young Master of their presence.

"I wonder if he will like us." Zachariah stated nervously. Lailah looked down at the young boy and smiled.

"He will." As soon as she said this, screams emitted from inside the room.

"What do you mean you decided not to?" It was clearly the voice of the young head of the Phantomhive household. "This means that I have not found my revenge! Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Your condition is complete, however I was very satiated from my previous repast so I decided not to feast yet." Lailah could sense Sebastian's chilling smile from the room. "Now young master, I have decided to add two more guests to the household. May I introduce them to you?"

"What are you talking about Sebastian?" Ciel seethed. "For what?"

"These two are purely for housekeeping purposes my lord." Lailah was getting impatient; she wanted to get to Ciel as soon as possible. Still, she had to wait. "A young boy by the name of Zachariah and a young woman by the name of Lailah have been added to our household. Zachariah will be useful as the messenger boy."

"We need a messenger boy?" Ciel fumed. "What for? It's not like we need him to send messages to anyone we know, people just show up!"

"He could also be useful as an errand boy, a helping hand to Finnian, Maylene, Bard, and Mr. Tanaka."

"Fine." Ciel grumbled. "And what is the girl for?"

"She will be useful in assisting Lady Elizabeth and Paula when they come to our newly built mansion. And for the future, she will be trained as a handmaid to Lady Elizabeth."

"You are going to make Lizzy suffer by killing me after we marry?" Ciel demanded, angered. "I will not demand that. I order you to take my soul right now Sebastian." The command was haunting. Lailah's eyes widened as she realized what he had just said. Ciel wanted to give his soul away.

"What are they talking about Lailah?" Zachariah asked, wondering what the conversation between the demon and human was.

"Nothing, do not worry. Why don't you go play over there?" She pointed to the end of the hallway. "I will call you when Sebastian calls us." The boy nodded and ran over to the corner. Lailah started to listen to the conversation again. To her surprise, she heard Sebastian laughing.

"I have already completed what you asked me to do. Help you seek revenge in return for your soul. Your revenge has already been completed. I am just delaying the repossession of your soul. Do you know what this means?" There was a long pause. "It means that you do not own me. However, I will keep up the charade of butler and assist you in any way you command. However, I will take your soul when I feel like it. Do you understand, my lord?"

"So now the contract has extended to you serving me as long as you can have my soul any time you wish?" Ciel asked, confused.

"Yes, it means that you own me until I want to eat your precious little soul."

"What is truly stopping you from talking my soul Sebastian?"

A chuckle emitted from the room. "Call it curiosity."

"Curiosity killed the cat Sebastian." Ciel sighed.

"Then it is a good thing that I am not a cat. Now, let me introduce you to Zachariah and Lailah." Lailah looked over to the young boy and called him over. The door slowly creaked open "Miss Lailah, Zachariah, please come in." Lailah let Zachariah step in first and then she followed. Ciel sat with one of his eyes closed, the other open in anger. "Zachariah, this is our young master. Any errands or messages he has, you will be the one to complete them. How well do you know the streets of London."

"F-ffa-iirly w-w-well." Zachariah stuttered in front of his new master.
"Good, you shall make 2 pounds a week plus room and board." The boy's eyes widened at his salary.

"Train him to be the chauffer." Ciel commanded. "And for that, make his salary 3 pounds."

Sebastian nodded. "We will train you as well to become a chauffeur." The young boy nodded "If you need anything else, please feel free to ask me." Sebastian spoke. Zachariah shook his head. "Good, you are excused. When you are not on an errand, please help Finnian with his work." Zachariah nodded.

"You are dismissed." Ciel grumbled. Zachariah bowed and then ran out the door. "And you must be Lailah."

"Yes young master." Lailah bowed and then picked herself up.

"She will assist Maylene and I in cleaning. However, when Lady Elizabeth is here, she shall serve her as a handmaiden, fetching whatever the Lady needs."

Lailah smiled as she looked at her new master. Ciel Phantomhive stared at the woman as she beamed down at him. A surge of hope filled him as he looked at her olive face. His heart filled with hope and his head with dreams. An aura around her made him feel comfortable, made him feel loved. It made him feel...alive.

"Thank you very much young master for letting me stay." She smiled.

"Your salary shall be 5 pounds a week plus room and board." The Phantomhive Demon destroyed the feeling of sanctity in the room. Lailah looked over at him and nodded. Sebastian turned to Ciel. "Young master, may I take the new maid to go get her fittings for her outfit as the handmaiden."

"Fine, be back by noon." Ciel walked over to his desk. "And bring me something sweet to eat."

"Of course, young master." Sebastian smirked. He then turned to Lailah, let us go madam." Sebastian turned around and walked out the door. Lailah walked over to Ciel and then bowed.

"Thank you very much." She stood up, smiled. "May I be excused?" Ciel looked at the woman, surprised that she asked for his approval. Nodding, he gave her the signal to let her go. As she walked out the door, she heard Sebastian sighing.

"If you were any slower, you'd be going backwards Fallen."

"Is that the worst you can come up with Demon?" She smiled and walked past. "Now, let us go...we are going out aren't we?" She smiled. "Our first little date. How jealous will Greil be? Let me call him right up!" She smirked.

"Sebastian!" The demon turned his head to see Maylene running up to him.

"What is it Maylene?"

"There is a man out front, he wishes to speak to you."

"Yes. Thank you." Maylene left as soon as Sebastian excused her. He then turned to Lailah. "Our trip shall be delayed, please, go do something."

"I think I will follow you...Lady Elizabeth seems to be taken care of." Sebastian sensed that Elizabeth had already had her breakfast and she was now going to go bother Ciel into doing something with her. "Young girls, so vicarious and vivacious." She smiled. Sebastian nodded and then started to walk towards the door.

"I wonder who it could be." Sebastian walked down the stairs to find a man sitting on the couch. His head filled with similar looking hair. As Sebastian walked down, the man lifted himself up and turned around.

"Sebastian Michaelis." The man spoke, smiling. Sebastian couldn't believe his eyes. "It takes more than demon magic to kill an angel."

"You!" Lailah screamed as she looked at the man. "What are you doing here?"

"Lailah, stay back." Sebastian ordered. He then looked over at the angel. "So the contract is valid after all."

"May I welcome you to a new game?" The man smiled. "And this time, you even have yourself a fallen."

"How dare you! I out to kill you." Lailah screamed. She started to run towards the man but Sebastian stopped her by forcing her aside. "You! Because of you I was banished!"

"It is not my fault you were weak at the heart love." The guest walked up to Lailah. "It was you who fell for me dear, lusted after me" He smirked. "It was your own actions that led you sin against God. Us Angels, the reason we are not given a definite form is because we become prone to sin. It was your fault that you attached yourself to a gender and it changed you. You became an angel with human traits. How was I to know that you wanted me?"

"You came to me in that form." She seethed. "You came to me so you could push me out of the way and have my power. You wanted my position."

"What is going on?" Sebastian asked, curiously.

"Regardless, you are not my concern." The guest spoke. "Sebastian Michaelis, let your unclean master know that the Angel is back, and that I am ready for another game of chess.

Gomenasi! School got me locked up! I will try to update more often.
