Author's Note: Konnichiwa, minna-san! It's me again, antitype_blackblood! And now I'm bringing to you a fan fic about my second fave anime, Kuroshitsuji! I wrote this fic after being inspired by countless Kuroshitsuji works of Maiden of the Moon, especially Gratitude! I know it isn't as good as those by Maiden of the Moon-sempai, but I wish that you'll like it, too!

Disclaimer: ALL of Kuroshitsuji belong to Yana Toboso-sama, not at all mine^-^

Chapter 1: It Started with A Kiss...

Then, young master...

Ciel Phantomnhive closed his eyes as his demon butler's face descended upon his own, his crimson eyes glowing eyes glowing eerily.

The end has come...

Sebastian's lips brushed against his own, and Ciel stiffened, waiting for the excruciating pain to follow

Any moment now...

But nothing happened.

Sebastian is now licking Ciel's lips, seeming to ask for entrance.

Maybe, it's all part of the process...

Ciel responded to the gentle prodding of Sebastian's tongue, finally allowing his butler access to the warm crevice of his small mouth. He gasped as he felt Sebastian momentarily entwine his tongue with his, before slipping it down his throat.

That was when he felt the pain.

A pain so immense, so intense, that it drenched his world in blinding white light.

And Ciel welcomed it, embracing it as punishment for all his evil deeds.

But acceptance didn't prevent him from screaming in agony. Not a vocal scream, which was rendered impossible with Sebastian's tongue deep down his throat, but a silent scream that echoed endlessly in his mind, bemoaning all his hardships and the cruel fate that was bestowed upon him.

Sebastian smirked and withdrew his tongue from the boy's mouth, licking his chops appreciatively.

The pain instantly ceased.

Ciel was stunned motionless at the sudden turn of events. He slowly opened his eyes, and blinked a few times in a daze. And then he was glaring at Sebastian, furiously rubbing his lips with his coat sleeve.

"What the hell was that about?" Ciel demanded, still wiping his lips. "Why did you stop what you're doing?"

"Why, did the young master like my kiss, then?" Sebastian asked teasingly. "We can do it again, if you want..."

Ciel turned several shades of scarlet before stubbornly turning away, more intent now on removing the taste of Sebastian's lips from his own. It was slightly sweet and spicy, like cinnamon, one of his favourite flavours. But the young earl refused to be intoxicated by it.

"Will you please stop doing that, young master?" Sebastian said with mild irritation, stopping the movements of Ciel's arm with a glove-encased hand. "Rubbing your lips too hard might damage them. And besides, the action only serves to make your lips more swollen, creating quite an alluring picture for me."

"Or..." Sebastian tilted Ciel's chin so that his ruby gaze bore deeply into the young earl's sapphire orbs. "Are you trying to tempt me into kissing you again, young master?"

"I-Idiot!" Ciel stammered, blushing hotly as he wrenched his chin free from Sebastian's fingers. "That's not what I meant! What I'm trying to ask is that why didn't you devour my soul? I felt the pain, which meant you were going about it earlier. But then you stop! Why?"

"Why? I just had a taste, young master." Sebastian said, smiling quite pleasantly at the young boy. "Can't I even have a taste?"

"Stop playing with me, you fool!" Ciel yelled exasperatedly. "Why have just a taste when you can consume the whole confection? If you're going to eat my soul, then get on with it! Fulfil your part of the contract!"

"Oh, but I'm already fulfilling it, young master." Sebastian said coolly, enjoying the young boy's frustration. "Your soul now belongs to me, so I can do with it as I please. And since all I want is a taste, then a taste is all you can get from me. No more, no less."

"Why you...you're toying with me, aren't you?" Ciel asked in annoyance. "I know that you are very hungry by now. Is this just one of your games? A game to serve as an appetizer, perhaps? "

Sebastian just looked at the boy, his red eyes blazing cryptically.

"Oh yes, I'm very hungry right now, young master. In fact, I'm so hungry that I almost lost control when I tasted your soul earlier. And what a treat it was..."

The butler's expression turned dreamy.

"It would have been the best meal I've ever had if I had allowed myself to feast. And no, there will be no need for an appetizer. But..."

Sebastian touched Ciel's face with his remaining hand, trailing it down his cheek in a caress. Ciel shivered involuntarily.

"I now have a different "hunger" that needs to be satisfied, my lord."

Ciel felt his face flush at his butler's words.

"Wh-What are you planning to do to me, Sebastian?"

"Oh, this and that..." Sebastian replied, smiling slyly.

Ciel felt his blush intensify to a shade ten times more vivid than the one before.

"Ah, what could the young master be thinking about? Your face is so pink...well, more like magenta now-"

"Shut up!" Ciel yelled, trying in vain to force his blush down.

"Öh, could it be that the young master is thinking of indecent things? My, my, how unbecoming of a gentleman, and a Phantomhive at that!"

Leaning closer, Sebastian whispered to the young earl.

"But I could do those indecent things to you too, if you wish..."

"Stop it Sebastian! That's an order!" Ciel shouted, very much embarrassed.

Sebastian just cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Have the young master forgotten something? Our situations have reversed now. I am no longer under your control, while you, on the other hand, will be obeying me from now on. Understood...Ciel?"

Ciel felt his heart jump at hearing his name from Sebastian's lips. He then shot his butler a startled look. The demon butler just smiled.

"It feels strange, isn't it? Being called by your given name instead of the usual "young master"? Even I find it strange, so I prefer calling you by your title. But expect to be called in your given name every now and then, especially if you're being impertinent, as you were just now."

"Does this mean that I will also be calling you "Master", then?" Ciel retorted mockingly.

"Oh, "Sebastian" would be fine, we're both accustomed to this name anyway. And besides, I think it would be awkward for you to call your former servant "Master", wouldn't it? " Sebastian replied quite cheerfully.

"So, what will you have me do? And do be serious this time." Ciel muttered sulkily.

Sebastian seemed to think for a moment.

"Well, to tell you the truth, of all the masters that I have served, it is with you that I had the most fun..."

"Oh, thank you for telling me that I'm your favourite plaything." Ciel commented, his words oozing with sarcasm.

"Why, you're welcome." Sebastian replied nonchalantly, earning a glare from the young earl. "Now, where were we? Oh yes, since I enjoyed our adventures together, I've decided to prolong your life and have more of them, thus, I abstained from eating your soul. You don't know how bored a demon can get after thousands of years of existence, a bit of entertainment is always welcome."

Ciel scoffed at his butler's words.

"Ah, a bit of entertainment, huh? But let me remind you Sebastian, I am now the prime suspect for killing Queen Victoria. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't return to my former life, much less resume my duty as the queen's watchdog. It appears that you have no choice but to eat my soul, after all. That seems to be the only use I could be to you."

"Who said that it's your duty as the queen's watch dog that got me interested, young master?" Sebastian replied, another of his enigmatic smiles plastered on his face. "It was your very being that caught my attention; the skill in which you move your pieces in this chessboard called life. I would really love to see you play again, even if it would mean that I'll have to be your knight once more..."

"Very well then," Ciel said, giving Sebastian a piercing stare. "It seems that I have no choice, since you now own my soul. You did your part of the contract, and it's time that I do mine. But the problem is, how can we go back to society? Ciel Phantomhive is now a criminal hunted by the law, and to play my game, I need as much power as possible, a power that can only be provided by those who belong to the highest echelons of society. In short, I need a titled identity."

"Oh, but you do have another titled identity asides from being Earl Phantomhive, young master." Sebastian replied mysteriously.

"What are you-" The young earl's questioning gaze came in contact with his butler's amused stare...and understanding dawned. "You can't possibly think-!"

Sebastian knelt before Ciel, his knowing smirk once again gracing his lips.

"Well, why don't we start reviewing our etiquette lessons..." Sebastian looked up and met his master's indignant stare with a laughing one

"...my lady?"
