Snippet #1853487

(Sorry for the wait)

Ciel only had a moment to gasp as The Pumpkin King appeared in front of them and grasping both demon's necks. A low hiss gathered at his throat. The heat from his palms was like hell itself, but the demon lord gave all his effort not to show any emotion. His eyes frantically looked over at Shi, his skin would boil at any minute. No, Jack couldn't hurt Shi, Ciel wouldn't allow it. He streached his hand out, grasping at the wrist that held Shi. "This battle is between and me," He muttered as he gasped slightly for air. "leave Shi be,"

At the corner of his eye he could see the shadows gathering before them. A hiss escaped his lips as he took hold of both wrists. He will not be sent to the underworld, he refuses to be embarrassed for a second time. His eyes locked onto the demon hunter's, his pupil slowly changed from a purple hue to a shade of ice blue. He let out his final gasp of air, ice cold snow slipped from his lips. His body temperature began to drop until his skin felt colder than winter. A freezing chill ran down the male demon's arms and made its way to his palms. Ice formed at Jack's wrist which slowly crept up to his fingers freezing his hand. Knowing that it would only take a matter of seconds for the ice to thaw--Ciel quickly took Jacks right thumb and bent it backwards for Shi to slip out of his grasp. He then took hold of the four fingers that surrounded his neck and bent them in the wrong way almost chipping one finger off.

Once he was of the ground he ran over to Shi pulling him away from the shadows. "No Jack," Ciel grunted never letting go of Shi's arm. "this time...we leave for now. But I won't give much mercy when I come back." His eyes darted to the pink wall clock above the shop's entrance. "3:30 am...I will return."

He then made his way to the broken window, flipping over the glass table that got in his way. He turned over to the maids--his face suddenly soft as before. "I'm still willing to make that business proposal with all honesty." He then turned and climbed out of the window holding onto his minions wrist. "Rima!" He screamed knowing that the female demon would instantly catch up to them.

They walked in the streets in silence for a while. They have gone far enough that the shop was nothing more but an ant in the distance. An annoying ant that crawled over his precious sweets. He had to destroy it... "Tell me," He spoke softly but his harsh tone can still be heard. "Do you two...love me by any chance?" He looked over to his minions, mostly at Shi.
