The boy squeezed his eyes shut, bracing himself for what was coming.

"Why are your eyes closed my lord?" the butler asked curiously.

"This is going to hurt, isn't it Sebastian..." he muttered.

The butler smiled. "Of course not. Maybe you'll feel a burning sensation but that's about it. You have nothing to be afraid of."

The boy opened his eyes, "Alright then, Sebastian. Let's get this over with."

"Are you sure young master? After this procedure, you won't be the same boy."

"Just get on with it."

"Yes, my lord."

"Please, for now, call me Ciel."

The butler looked a tiny bit shocked but nodded.

"As you wish, Ciel."

The butler removed his glove swiftly with his teeth and placed the contracted hand on the boy's eye. With his other hand, he removed the glove with his teeth also, biting his finger allowing a couple of drops of blood to form.

"Open your mouth, Ciel." he commanded softly.

The boy opened his mouth slowly, the drops of demon blood dripping into his mouth.

"Swallow."

He did as instructed, a sudden tiredness overcoming his small body.

"See you in a two weeks, young master."

The boy fell into a dreamless sleep.
