Chapter 5

[Ciel's POV]

When walking through the school courtyard Haruhi runs to my side suddenly and says "Hey can we talk?" I reply "Sure." in confusion, I hope this doesn't have to do with what everyone wants to know; my past. "So I just wanted to say I'm sorry about being so rough over the fact about your eye, I didn't mean to startle you or anything. I just want you to know we all care about you and we don't mean to hurt you in any way, we are here to help not to hurt." Haruhi says. Well it's sort of the subject I want to avoid but she's just apologizing nothing more. I reply "Oh it's nothing you don't have to apologize; I understand you saw it and curiosity took over." She smiles and says "I'm glad I didn't make you to mad because I really don't want to be your foe or anything." Foe really I'm not going to want to kill her just because she tore off my eye patch the lady is just fine! We walk in silence to the main building the rest of the way until out of nowhere we are both snatched up by none other than the devil twins. I yell "What the hell guys what do you want?" They ignore me and say "Target captured!" and they drag us away from the building up to a limo. The window rolls down to reveal Tamaki and he says "Great now take them with you." and at that we are once again dragged off."

We arrive at some sort of enclosed water park and the twins grab Haruhi and I again pulling us in until we come to a stop at some sort of restroom area. "Take care of them and do what you have to do." I look up to see two sets of maids staring down on us with devious grins and they all say in unison, talk about creepy, "Of course we'll do what we can, if you could just follow me Fujioka, Phantomhive." I look at the maids in confusion and I'm thrown at them and they pull me into a dressing room locking the door and looking over me. "If you would just choose a swimsuit we'll help you into it, so which one?" I look around the room in horror and say "I don't want a bathing suit it's not like I'm going to swim!" One of the maids holds up a pair and says "How about this one I'd think it would look good on you." I frown and say "Whatever." and at that the maids practically attack me pulling at my shirt and saying "Come on you need to cooperate!" I smile when Sebastian says "Ladies I can take over from here you don't need to struggle." They reply "But the Hitachiin brothers ordered us to do it." Sebastian says "You girls don't need to lift a finger I'll take it over." They say "W-well o…ok we'll leave him t-to y...you."

Sebastian slips on a summer style shirt on me and says "We don't need that host club seeing anything more then what they've already seen." he also puts on my other eye-patch and says "You're ready to go; I'll be around here just in case." I nod and say "Thank you Sebastian." and walk out of the room to find the club spread out around the small area near the water. I go up to Tamaki and ask "Where exactly am I?" He replies "You're at the new Otori water park; we are the only ones here thanks to Kyoya. Isn't it lovely; a nice break from the constant working go enjoy it!" I could be doing better stuff then this, I'd much rather be working so I can get back to London. I sigh and say "Do I really have to be here. Besides I thought the Otori group only worked on the medical field, guess I was wrong they must be widening their choices." I walk away before being 'attacked' by Honey who says "Hey Ciel-chan want to have some coconut juice with me, or maybe some cake, or we could go swimming in the current pool!" I shrug and say "Sure." Honey grabs me by the arms and drags me over to the current pool and says "Come on Ciel, you can't swim with that shirt on!"

I can't take off this shirt without them seeing the brand great this is just great but he isn't going to leave me alone until I go swimming with him. Might as well get it over with it, I take off my shirt and slowly step in the water saying "Oh its cold, come on Honey." He is staring at me with a look of shock; I was hoping he wouldn't react like this it's only a mark. "What is that thing on your chest?" Honey asks in a confused tone. I reply "It's nothing really, just ignore it." Honey shrugs and says "Okay if you say so." and he jumps in the pool giggling. Mori also joins us putting Honey on his back and swimming against the current making Honey laugh. After a lot of swimming I felt exhausted so I got out of the pool walking towards Haruhi, she was the one with some water so I'd like to ask her where I could get some. "Whoa Ciel what is that on your chest, it looks like that thing they mark farm animals with. What is it called... a brand I think?" Haruhi says in surprise. Crossing my arms across my chest I say "It's nothing just ignore it." Her eyes widen and she says "It has to do with your past right!"

At that almost the whole host club is surrounding us and Tamaki says "What was that something about Ciel's past, what are you hiding Ciel?" Haruhi says "Ciel has some sort of tattoo thing on his chest, take a look at it!" The twins grab both of my arms revealing my brand and I yell "What the heck guys, you could be a little gentler!" Tamaki says "What is that on his chest, that is what you were talking about Haruhi?" She nods looking at the club, I'm pretty sure she is as freaked out by them as I am. Kyoya says "This looks like a brand that most farmers but on any animals that graze on land such as Horses or Cows." Hikaoru says "Maybe he is a cow, why else would he have it?" I yell "I am not a cow! Why in the world would you think I am a cow, I don't look anything like an animal at all what brought you to that stupid decision?" Kyoya continues "I don't know why someone would put it on a human unless wanting to show that this person that they own him as if like a slave." Like a slave, I was a traded in the underworld for quite some time as a slave and branded as a noble beast. "You were a slave! But you are a noble why would you ever do such work, or it's like your eye that could be the mark of him being owned by a demon!"

My eyes widen at the statement in surprise, how in the world do they know anything about demons; I guess it has to do with them seeing the contract eye. "Look at his reaction to that he has to know something about demons or he might have to do something with it." Kaoru says. I scowl at the club, it turns out this investigation has got more from me. This is supposed to be just another job from the Queen, but I'm coming out with more then just information; I'm coming out with scars. "It's not exactly the mark of a demon, but your pretty close Kyoya." I felt all eyes on me, but I can't reveal everything to them; if they want to know they can figure it out there selves. "I'll tell you this I was traded through the slave market through that month." I feel arms wrap around me tightly and I see Tamaki and the twins cuddling me and saying "Aw you poor thing, that month must have been horrible." I frown and say "Whatever, could you please let me go." Honey says "Look at that guys you got him depressed, that's not ok!" I reply "No I'm fine, let's forget that even happened. Want to go back in the current pool Honey?" He giggles and says "Yeah, let's do it Ciel-chan." While just playing around in the water with Honey I see Tamaki knock into some sort of totem pole and the eyes of each creature go red. It starts making a bunch of weird noises that can't be good; when I look back I'm shocked to see a huge wave coming our way. I brace myself for the wave and gasp when I feel the impact of the huge wave. My eyes slowly close as I give in.

When I wake up I start coughing up water, when I calm down I see I'm in Sebastian's arms and we're in a forest. I ask "Where are we?" Sebastian replies "Still in the water park, it has a wild life area." I say "I need to get back to the host club; they are probably looking for me. Where is Honey! Oh god poor kid he probably is so lost and confused." Sebastian says "You mean that kid who is in a family full of karate masters and him; himself is one of the more deadly ones." Oh yeah this is Mitskuni he should be fine, at least I hope." Sebastian says "Now tell me this why do your little friends know anything about demons?" I reply "I don't know how exactly but I can tell you this, the other day there was this guy who was apparently in a black magic club and he somehow could detect the contract." Before either of us could say a thing we were surrounded by police, one says "We found one of the targets he seems to be captured by a strange man, drop the child at once or we'll do it forcefully." Sebastian smirks and says "I'm sorry but my master told me to protect him at all times." his eyes turn demonic red before he attacks them all. When he is done I say "Are they dead?" Sebastian says "Most likely, we better start moving I don't want to run into a reaper that would just be more trouble." We start walking again until we reach a little gazebo where the host club is, I say "Just stay in the shadows just in case." I walk away before being knocked to the ground by Tamaki and the twins, Tamaki says "Are you alright Ciel! How did you find us?" I reply getting them off of me "Yeah I'm fine, getting here was just luck."

While walking through the park to find Honey, Mori, and Haruhi, Kyoya says "Huh I forgot to tell them that there are other people here, oh well." I felt like yelling 'Oh well, my butler and I got attacked by your freaking army; you should be lucky Sebastian is a demon!' but I couldn't say that. They may know a lot but they still don't know it all and they won't be figuring out the full true story. Soon enough we reach Haruhi and find her in the arms of Mori and Honey with them, and lets not forget the unconscious troops. Hikaoru and Kaoru go over to the unconscious men and Hikaoru says "I'm surprised this is the work of Honey he must've really been holding back." Kaoru says "Well I guess it's good they aren't dead." I say "What do you mean he held back!" Haruhi says "Yeah really what do you mean he was holding back?" What kind of human is he if this is holding back, maybe he is like Agni; but he doesn't have some sort of godly hand."So then you mean you don't know about Sempai?" the twins say. "The Haninozuka's are famous for their martial arts, not only have they trained the police and SDF forces but also they worked with many overseas militaries." Kyoya says "Honey in particular has been called the dreadnaught of the Haninozuka family, by the time he was in middle school he had become the national champion of both karate and judo." He sure does have skills to master both of those fighting skills at such a young age, Tamaki says "Mori-sempai is no slouch either he won the national championship of kendo when he was just in middle school." So I guess both of them have some pretty good skills with fighting, I'd hate to be on their bad sides at any times; but I have Sebastian so it wouldn't matter.

I'm surprised when all of the police recover instantly and are on their knees bowing and then one of them say "We humbly apologize; I am a second generation student of the Ishizuka Dojo!" Another one says "I am a student of the Todorki Dojo!" One more finally says "I'm from the Otake Dojo; we are in your debt!" Honey asks "And why is that?" One of the soldiers says "We were unaware that we were looking for the phenomenal Mitskuni Haninozuka and we have committed a terrible offense. But my dojo will be happy to know I came face to face with the legendary Haninozuka for generations to come!" Wow who is this kid getting praise from a bunch of men who are in the army; I guess I shouldn't underestimate anyone anymore. Honey goes up to Mori and takes his arm pulling him down to his height and pats him on the head saying "You did a great job protecting Haru-chan! I bet you got lonesome without me, I hope you didn't." Mori looks Haruhi's way and says "I wouldn't say that."

While walking back to the gates Hikaoru says "I think we should go to the beach next." Kaoru says "Yeah that'd be fun, we should go." Tamaki says "You idiots Haruhi wouldn't be interested in anything like that." Haruhi says "Well I may not like these silly water parks or anything but going to the beach would be ok, it would be really pretty." Tamaki says "Yeah, so it's official that's where we'll go next time!" Honey replies "We are all going to go to the beach next time, that'll be fun right Takashi!" Mori smiles up at Honey and says "Yeah." I guess a trip to the beach wouldn't be so bad even if it was with the host club. I agree with Haruhi the beach can be really beautiful, I wonder when we'll go?

~Back at the Manor~

Ever since I started going to school I really haven't had time to do my normal paperwork causing it all to pile up. While just sitting at my desk and doing some paperwork I'm surprised when Charles Grey,[one of the queen's butlers in manga], walks in and says "Hello Ciel Phantomhive we need to discuss things." I look up to him setting my work aside and say "Sure what would you like to discuss?" Charles says "Your job that the queen gave you it hasn't progressed at all, why don't you get it moving along before it becomes to much of a problem. We don't care how long you stay in Japan but we need some progress with the investigation, so please get working on finding out something." I ask "Is that all you came here for? I mean it must've been a long trip so why just come to get onto me, are you here for anything else?" Charles sighs and says "Well there was one more thing little earl," I scowled at him when he calls me little earl; some people just know how to get on my nerves. He takes me by the chin surprising me and with a knife he pulls off my eye patch and says "And maybe that demon butler of yours can help you out, but just in case here is some protection." He stabs the knife into the desk winking and says "Good bye young earl!"

How does he know anything about Sebastian being a demon, the jerk is just messing with my head but he does know to much. In anger I remove the knife from my desk and look over it, why did he leave it anyways? A knock erupts from the door and I say "Come in." still observing the dagger that just barely missed my arm. "My lord why exactly do you have a dagger, where did you even get it I thought you used guns." I reply "Charles left if for me, I'm just curious why he states he knows you're a demon then purposely missing my arm with this then prancing away as if nothing happened. Please keep an eye out for him Sebastian and make sure he doesn't cause to much trouble." Sebastian says "And how exactly did he learn of demon's existence?" I shrug and say "He just said he knows when taking off my eye patch with a knife. He didn't say anything more that gave any evidence as to why he is here or how he knows more than he should." Sebastian smirks and says "Well try to keep it more of a secret please my lord, it seems that just about everyone is learning lately." Sighing I say "You can leave if that is all Sebastian," shoeing him off with my hand not looking his direction.

~~~Time Skip~~~~

"Cieeeeeel!" Elizabeth yells when bursting through the study door causing me to jump slightly, I say "Have you ever heard of knocking?" Lizzie giggles and says "I don't have to knock silly I am your fiancé why would I do that?" I scoff "So why are you here anyways?" She says "I am here to visit my dear Ciel why else? But sadly I don't have the materials to do a ball; if we were back in London we might could have a fun party." She says sadly but in my mind I'm thinking thank you so much no dance! "It's a bit late for you to be visiting, do you need a room for the night, besides who is with you?" Lizzie replies "Well I'm here with my maid and yes if it isn't a trouble darling we could use a room for the night." Sighing I say "Of course, but I do have school tomorrow and I don't do home schooling so I can't mess around all day tomorrow." Lizzie squeals "Oh really which school are you going to cause I'm starting at Ouran Academy tomorrow!" I flinch at her words and say "Oh what a coincidence I go to Ouran Academy too. Just one question how did you get in I thought they were just about full of spots." She replies "I don't know my mother signed me up because she thought I could use some socializing and school time." Sighing I say "Well why don't I get Sebastian to show you to a room for the night so you can retire." Right at my words Sebastian knocked on the door and says "My lord, may I come in?"

Sebastian shows Lizzie to a room and now I'm back in my own staring at the ceiling in bed, those memories invading my mind thanks to all these events. The host club is unraveling my past revealing just about everything I've tried so hard to keep a secret, how they do it I don't know but they've all seemed to reveal something about me I haven't told. Scowling I roll on my side trying to ignore the thoughts that are running through my mind. I can't sleep even if it is probably past midnight it doesn't matter for some reason I'm wide awake.

[Dream]

I'm lying here in bed staring at the ceiling why can't I fall asleep, at least I think I'm awake I can't exactly remember. Sighing I stand up from bed and go to my restroom looking at myself in the mirror gasping at the sight of my right eye, my contract symbol is missing. Confused I yell "Sebastian?" but I don't get an answer not from anyone. I walk out of my room to see the pitch black manor; no one is awake at such a time of course. "Sebastian?" I call again looking around squinting into the darkness. I'm surprised when I feel unfamiliar hands on my shoulder; I look up to see my mother looking down on me with an apolgic smile. "What are you doing up so late darling Ciel, and why are you calling for the dog when he is outdoors?" No I'm calling for Sebastian he is my butler and...and your dead mother. I slap away her hand and say "But...but you're supposed to be dead, you and father both perished in a fire. And those months that are why I made the contract so how are you here!" I bring my hand up to my eye and say "But, where is the contract?" Suddenly my mother's body starts disappearing and she says before disappearing "He left you the contract was broken Ciel, your all alone; all alone..." She was repeating those words over and over and I scream his name refusing to look her way.

Her words become whispers in the wind as she repeats "He left you the contract was broken," as I am up against the wall my hand to my right eye as the memories I thought I had flash through my mind. "This is all a dream it must be; it's all a dream, it's all a dream." I repeat to myself while sitting in the same position not moving a muscle. Where are you Sebastian are you even real Sebastian, did the contract ever become something real. "I can make the contract real Ciel Phantomhive, would you like that?" Frightened I look around for the source of his voice until I see a black shadow not far from me. My eyes widen as the silhouette comes closer. "I want revenge for all the humiliation and the deaths of my family!" The creature shows a smirk and says "Well I would love to help you child but the true cause of all this leads up to one person, it's simple you. You are the sin that has caused all these strange twists for everyone around you; you are the sin that caused the change of events. You were a mistake never meant to be born." I look at the silhouette in shock and say "But...but they loved me I thought my parents loved me. Was I really never meant to bean born?" The demon shows a devious grin and says "Ciel Phantomhive, you were fated for death from the very start. Your body is already unclean. I must get rid of the unclean,unnecessary,unfruitful." I remember that day when I saved Lizzie from Drossel...or did I? Pain suddenly errupts in my right eye causing me to scream in pain.

[End of Dream]

When I wake up I hear screaming and I see most of the servants around my bed with worried expression, then I realize that I am the one screaming. Sitting up in sweat I say "Everyone but Sebastian please leave." they nod looking at me with apolgic expressions...just like my mom in the dream. When everyone left the room I say "Sebastian we still have to contract right? You aren't going to leave my side right?" Sebastian and says "Yes my lord the contract is still between us, it hasn't been broken and I don't plan on breaking it any time soon. Do you doubt yourself over your revenge young master?" Scowling I ignore his question and say "What time is it Sebastian, is it even morning yet?" Sebastian sighs and says "Yes my lord it is six am, would you like to start getting ready?" I nod and get out of bed, looks like the start of another day.
