"Ciel, if we do not leave soon we will miss our train." Sebastion's smooth voice rang out from across the room.

Ciel sat up slowly and tried to remember what was going on around him. As he woke up more he recognized what Sebastion had said and started to get out of bed and prepare for the day.

As Ciel got dressed he took his time to recall the details of the situation.

After all of the drama that had taken place with Alois, Ciel had gone back to a similar life to the one he had lived before. The only difference being the change in relationship between Sebastion and him. As things had settled and Ciel began to age, he and Sebastion had begun a romantic life together as demonic mates. The process had taken time, but now that they were tied together in a permanent matter they both felt more secure in their feelings for one another. Even with that feeling though, they both recognized that something was missing and with this feeling came the revelation that they had a third mate somewhere waiting to be found. Ciel wondered to himself how this third person would affect the relationship between him and Sebastion. Would this person be more dominant then he was? More dominant than Sebastion? Or would he be another submissive such as Ciel was?

Ciel remembered back when he had been changed into a demon. Sebastion had explained to him the difference between a dominant demon and a submissive demon.

"Now, when a demon is first created he or she will either be a dominant or a submissive. A dominant demon will grow in both size and strength during their transformation, where as a submissive demon will gain a more feminine appearance as well as a more visible sign of their inner demon. In your case, you are a submissive cat demon. Therefor you are smaller in size and have your cat ears and tail visible at all times. Another difference being that all submissives can bear children regardless of their gender."

Back then, Ciel had fainted, but over the years he had grown to accept who he was and enjoy the attentions of his dominant mate and at 20 years old he was ready to take the next step and begin his search with Sebastion for their third and final mate.

Before he could begin to think about looking for their third mate though, he had a mission to complete. Her majesty had contacted him a few days ago with worries over what was occurring in England. From the ever increasing amount of Akuma to the issues occurring at the European branch of the Black Order, an exorcist group that was founded to fight the Akuma.

Which brought him to his current situation. Trying to make it to the train that would take then to the Vatican where the Black Order was located. He was under orders to gather information on the performance and possible corruption of the Black Order.

Sighing, Ciel quickly finished getting ready and followed Sebastion to the waiting carriage that would take them to the train station. The train ride would take a few hours, it would be late in the afternoon before they made it to the Vatican. Ciel looked out the carriage window and accepted that today would be a very long day.

Little did Ciel know, today was going to change everything.
