I do not own Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters, I only own Rei and Kyle.
Rei's POV
I turn around quickly to see Lord Druitt, What happened? Wasn't Ciel supposed to take care of him?!
"O-oh good evening Lord Druitt..." I say smiling at him, my eye twitches a bit as I see that Ciel is no where to be found.
"Pardon me for asking you this but are you a maiden?" He asks me getting closer to my face to examine it.
I grow a tic mark, "N-no I'm afraid your mistaken... I'm 100% male... haha..."
Honestly... well at least he didn't just assume I was a crossdressing female.
"Oh my! To be blessed with such beauty and youth! I think you might just be my type too!" Lord Druitt says cupping my chin and putting his hand around my waist pulling me closer.
A shiver goes down my back, oh no... he's a pedophile... I shouldn't have looked him in the eyes...
"Come with me! I want to show you something!" Lord Druitt says pulling me into the ballroom. He then pulls me into a room, "W-wait! I have friends that are supposed to pick-" "Don't worry we're going to a very nice place!" Lord Druitt said as I start to get a tad light headed.
"Um... Lord Druitt I think there is something wrong... it smells really sweet in here..." Suddenly a wave of nausea hits me and my eye sight starts to get blurry.
"W-what...?" I mumble as I stumble, fall down, and hit the floor.

W-what? Where am I?
I hear someone next to me shuffling around. "Hello? Who else is hear?" I whisper.
"Rei?! What are you doing here!? Your supposed to be waiting for us on the balcony!" I hear Ciel's voice whisper back. "Uh... yah about that...." I start to say but I was cut off by Lord Druitts voice.
"And now, what you've all been waiting for: tonight's Crown Jewels." I hear a shuffle of fabric being lifted.
"On the left is the first jewel, you may enjoy her as a decoration, or make a pet of her. I imagine she'd even make an attractive part of a ceremony. Or if you want to sell her parts individually, that's up to you. Her eyes bear the contrasting colors of a deep forest and the sea reflecting a beautiful sky."
What a long introduction... I remember a book in Ciel's study saying that things like this are called 'black market auctions'... so that must mean we're being sold...
I hear footsteps walk up next to me and a cloth being lifted. "And on my right is the second jewel, this one is male but he is quite the beauty. His skin is soft and it glows in the moonlight, he too would make a fine decoration or pet. He has a voice like those of merfolk, luring in sailors to their doom. I too was drawn in by his beautiful voice! You can sell his parts or use him as ceremonial tool as well."
"I shall show you them now." Viscount says as I hear footsteps walk to the left of me and behind me.
Someone takes off the cloth blocking my view and I see a large mass of people.
"2000!"
"3500!"
"5000!"
I look over at Ciel and he looks back at me. "Here I am, Sebastian." Ciel says looking away as his right eye glows brightly with Sebastian's contract mark.
The candles go out and I can hear Lord Druitt mutter something like "What the?" As screams can be heard around us.
The candle lights it's self again and I see Sebastian standing in the middle of a large group of passed out people. "Good grief. You're truly good for nothing but getting yourself captured. And Rei I would have expected that at least YOU wouldn't get yourself captured." He says walking up the stage.
"As long as I have the contract, you'll follow me anywhere, with or without my summons."
"It's not my fault! I was caught off guard!" I huff slightly, I could have gotten out without your help... it's not like I'm weak... well I'm weak, but I'm fast and agile. I can do spells too! I'm just not good with heavy lifting....
"A contract is a mark demons place on their prey to keep track of it. The more noticeable a place you put it down, the more executable it is. In exchange..." Sebastian opens his mouth to continue but is cut off by a wall exploding and a very loud voice.
"REI!!!!! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!" A blue blur burst through the wall heading straight towards me. The blue blob breaks the cage bars like breaking a twig, and grabs me into a death hug.
(Yay Kyle!! 🤗)
"K-Kyle! C-ca-can't br-breath!" I say patting my best friends back.
He immediately let's go and starts to examine my body looking for injuries. He puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me up and down.
"What are you wearing?!"
"This realms clothing."
"Do you know how hard it was finding you?! You suddenly stopped singing so I had to guess your location!!!"
"Well I'm sorry I was dragged away against my will!"
Kyle sighs and pulls me into another hug, he buries his head into my neck and takes a deep breath. "I was super worried..."
I pat his back, back at home we were attached to the hip, we did everything together, I'm surprised he lasted this long...
I hear a cough and I look over to see Ciel and Sebastian looking at us questionably.
"Oh! Ciel, Sebastian, meet my best friend Kyle! Oh and Kyle, can you please untie me?"
"Oh right sorry! I forgot!" Kyle says as he takes one of his cards out and sliced the rope with it like butter.
"Rei, Kyle, you will explain what's going on when we get to the manor." Ciel looks over at the sleeping Viscount, "This solves the Jack the Ripler case. It was unexpectedly easy..."
That's because he's not the murder....
"I imagine the Scotland Yard will be here before long. We shouldn't stay here." Sebastian says picking up Ciel bridal style.
"Demon..." Kyle mutters distastefully while scowling a bit at Sebastian. Unlike me, Kyle isn't as..... trusting so I'll have to try to convince him that Sebastian isn't as bad as he seems. (Hint word: TRY)
"Well, shall we go?" Sebastian asks glancing back at us. "I'll explain later." I say to Kyle and I jump out the window after Sebastian, Kyle not to far behind me.
_______
"Explain. Now." Kyle says as we sit down in Ciel's study.
"Ummm.... I crashed through Ciel's ceiling and Sebastian the demon butler found me. I chatted with Ciel and we came to a agreement that I could stay here until someone takes me back to heaven. And on that note are you here to take me back?" I question Kyle.
Kyle scratches the back of his head, "Um well you see... I don't have the ability to take you back right now... I mainly came down here to protect you until the others can bring us home."
"Wait. Does that mean I will have another reckless angel running around the manor?!" Ciel asks choking on his tea at the thought of another Rei running around.
It's not like Rei ever got in the way or bothered him, quite the opposite, it's just that Kyle seemed more wild and noisy than Rei.
"Please take care of us!" Kyle says giving a goofy smile. Bowing while making Rei bow too by pushing his head down with his hand.
