The sun and the shadow [Black Butler]

Levy's P.O.V

"Natsu! Lucy! Happy! It's good to see you again!" I greeted my friends. "It's a pity it had to be under such circumstances. How is little Sting?" I smiled gently at the blond bundle in the Celestial Witch's arms.

"He started teething and is driving us nuts! But still as adorable as always," Lucy replied. "Want to hold him?" She offered me. I only nodded and handed Raois to Juvia, so I could take the Light Dragon Demon. "So, this is the infamous Ciel Phantomhive?"

"A pleasure to meet you all. The Phantomhives will never forget the help you are given us in this difficult situation," my little brother said, politely.

Sebastian right behind him. I was glad that they had made up, but I still noticed that Ciel hasn't given Sebastian an answer yet.

"He is so cute!!!" Lucy exclaimed, giggling like a mad fangirl.

"Eh?!" Ciel looked at her shocked and took a step backward.

Smart boy, I praised him in my head.

"Let's stop talking and let's start kicking some angelic ass!" Natsu shouted, pumped up.

"Ay!" Happy said in concordance.

The rest of us just sweatdropped, as if we were in an anime.

"Why don't you follow me towards your chambers first?" Sebastian offered, politely.

By the way, he was looking at Happy he wanted to grab the kitten and play with him until poor Happy couldn't breathe anymore. Ciel's warning glare was the only thing stopping him from doing it.

"But I want to fight!" Natsu pouted. "You are a strong demon, FIGHT ME!"

"Shut up idiot!" Lucy scolded him, punching him on the head. "Please guide us," she turned to the crow demon, clearly embarrassed by her mate.

"You have... curious friends," Ciel commented, once they were out of sight. "I don't know how they'll fit in this society. It might take a while until the archangel comes to get us."

Ciel has taken my keeping this secret quite well, for that, I was very grateful, and was getting ready for war if necessary.

"With so many powerful demons here, I'm sure it will come sooner than later," I told him, completely sure of it. "Like a moth to a flame."

I couldn't have been more wrong. Months passed and nothing, not even a whisper of an archangel in the demon line. The good thing was that we had enough time to prepare the mansion and come up with various plans of attack. But, on the other hand, we became restless, paranoid. We were cracking under the pressure and the what-if. We just wanted the archangel to come, to get all of this over with. It didn't matter anymore who lived and who died, we just wanted all of this to end.

At the moment, we were in the Phantomhive's library, simply trying to spend some time in quiet harmony. I looked at Ciel and asked myself why he didn't notice it yet. He paused his thirst for revenge to make sure Sebastian was guarded and safe against the archangel. Why doesn't he just admit that he loves his demon enough to give up everything for him? All of us would be happier if Ciel just lets Sebastian eat his soul and brand him as his mate.

My train of thoughts was interrupted when the wall of the library exploded and a white-haired man entered, I soon had my guard demons and Lily (in his fighting form) in front of me and Raios.

It seems that Natsu was finally going to have the fight he has been desiring so much.
