Narrator's POV

Astre's mismatched eyes widened as he looked at the Baron he had killed nearly eight months previously.

The once obese man's face was covered in stitches, the most prominent one being the row of stitches along the Baron's forehead.

"Oh, how wonderful, I was worried you would not remember me, Astre Phantomhive." The Baron began, a blush on his deformed face, "It was so very wonderful to die by your hands, and now Undertaker kindly brought me back to die by the true Ciel Phantomhive's hands. It is like a dream to be able to be killed by you both over and over again."

Astre just blinked at the insanity of this man.

Kelvin did not notice as he continued to speak, "After you killed me, I woke up in Undertaker's shop with you, but it was not you you but rather your brother. He told me that he remembered me from when I met you both on that wonderful night with your father and that he desired me! Well, as one of his servants but desired me nevertheless! He rechristened me 'Polaris' and I have been his faithful slave ever since!"

Ciel rolled his sapphire eyes a bit at the spiel, "Go away now, Polaris, chain the prince up in a guest room and go get a transfusion."

"Yes, Master Ciel." The man said, quickly obeying

With him gone, the twins laid back down in bed and fell asleep.

Soma groaned as he woke up, his head still pounding from when that cloaked man had hit it.

His golden eyes widened, trying to move with no success.

He looked around and saw each of his limbs were chained to one of the four bedposts.

Try as he might to pull at the chains, they did not budge.

Though, he continued to do so anyways.

After awhile, the door to the bedroom he was in opened.

His eyes widened yet again and his lips parted as he saw something that absolutely shocked him.

There were two Ciels.

"Good morning, Soma, I suppose this is our first proper conversation." The slightly taller Ciel that did not have an eyepatch smugly said, "Though, last time we saw each other I did not have a lot to say before I had a bit of fun."

Soma glanced at his own wounded hand, feeling the ache of the bullet hole beneath the bandages.

"Y-You killed Agni?" Soma mumbled

"Duh, my precious little brother would not have done that. I cannot believe you thought I was him, I know we are identical but I did not even bother wearing an eyepatch and I still fooled you!" The taller blunette laughed

Soma's eyes welled with tears as he realized he had been played and he had hurt his best friend as a result, "W-Why would you do that?! I slapped Ciel because of you!"

"First of all, dummy, I am Earl Ciel Phantomhive and my baby brother is Astre." Ciel began, pulling a small knife from his pocket and dragging the blade against the older boy's chest, "Second of all, Astre does not need fake brothers like you now that I have returned home and will never be leaving again."

The undead twin turned back to face the living one, "Right, Astre?"

"Yes, big brother." The younger twin agreed, knowing the term of address would improve Ciel's mood

Astre accepted the fact that Soma would be dying today, he did not like it but he also did not want to deal with his brother's jealousy.

Even when they were little, Ciel would get aggressive with people he thought had too much of Astre's attention.

Servants, animals, other noble children, no one —well, no one with less power than the older boy— was spared from Ciel's jealousy —besides Astre himself and Lizzy, but that was besides the point.

Astre did not yet fully understand how deeply his brother was obsessed with him.

Ciel laughed as he dragged the knife along Soma's torso, making a comment on how similar it was to playing 'darts' on Agni's back.

Soma screamed in a mixture of pain and rage, his bandages hand yanking so hard the chain shattered.

Panicking, Ciel stabbed at the seemingly godly hand and backed away.

It seemed the prince was beyond it, unchaining himself as Ciel ran out of the room with Astre.

The twins were very scared now, neither of them expecting Soma to get the upper-hand in the seemingly rigged situation.

"He got Agni's strength." Astre panted as they ran

Sensing his twin was nearing an asthma attack whilst also beginning to feel weak himself, Ciel pulled Astre into the nearest room and yelled, "Undertaker!"

When the reaper did not immediately appear like Ciel wanted, he yelled again, "Undertaker!"

Still being impatient, the undead boy screamed out, "GRANDFATHER!"

The door opened and the reaper walked in, "What is the matter, little lord?"

"The brat broke free and nearly hurt us!" Ciel complained, "Chain him back up!"

"I suggest cutting off his wounded hand, he seems to have inherited his butler's godly hand." Astre added

The white haired man nodded and left to do as asked.

"Why did you call him 'grandfather'?" Astre asked

They had called Tanaka 'grandpa' when they had been younger because he had been the main servant to take care of them but why had Ciel given Undertaker a similar title?

Ciel sighed, "It is a long, mostly boring story but he is our grandfather. To make it short, he and grandmother had a decades long affair and he fathered father and Aunt Frances. He does not like talking about it, it makes him very sad."

Well, that explained a lot about the reaper's odd behavior around their family...
