I don't own Kuroshitsuji I Swear!

Jade: Fuck you!

Under-taker: *chuckles* just hurry up and get this all done now

IGL :….. lets just start.

'It's so cold, snow is everywhere. It hurts to breath then I see him, the man in grey' "JADE!" the undertaker exclaimed and I jumped out of my nap. "Yes!...I'm awake" I said with half lidded eyes. "Oh you are hmm?..Then you wont mind making some deliveries today" he chuckled and I wanted to hit him so bad! "It's not my fault this counter is so damn comfy you old lunatic!" she complained. "Oh that was hurtful, now I took care of you when you were little and sick don't be rude now" he waved a finger at me. "Took care of! That's what you call working me like a dog to keep your shop in order!" I growled "Well you certainly act like one growling like a mutt" he laughed as if it was a joke. "Now go freshen up we mustn't have you running about the town looking like your homeless" he motioned to the stairs that led to my room. "What's your excuse?" I muttered walking off.

Getting to the room looking into the mirror and god I looked horrid! My short black spiky hair was messy and all over the place. I had to fix it usually the bangs fell over my right eye as always. The light that shown through the crack of the curtain made my white as snow skin look almost ghostly and my eyes the reason for my name the most perfect and deep shade of green jade. It took me some time to get dressed in some pants and a red shirt. Most women would wear dresses and fancy things such as but me I was fine with basics.

When I finally found my way down to the shop again he just pointed to a door and geez I wanted to yell at him for making me work all the time but I smiled a little I did owe him for saving my life when I was four. I was so sick too I remember lying in bed coughing so hard I thought my lungs would pop out, and there was blood to from how hard I was coughing. He made me soup sure it wasn't the best but it was nice for him to try and take care of me. Most would have just left me in the snow to die. "Anyone there?" he waved his hand in front of me and snapped me out of the thoughts. "Yeah sorry where are the flowers?" I asked and he shook his head with a small laugh. "No flowers today" and opened the door. There was a huge black coffin with a rope tied around it. "You need to take this to 'hounds well' they said it's most important" I slammed my face into my hand "that's over twenty miles from here! Can't I take the horse?" he shook his head "now, now you're a big girl you can do it can't you?" he giggled looking at me "lets see it was thirteen years ago in two weeks wont it?" I nodded but I still couldn't remember why I was out there in the first place why I was laying there freezing to death slowly, or why I was there enduring it all.

FLASHBACK

I ran as fast as I could from something but I don't remember the blank spot still is in my head on this. There is a smell of iron in the air blood? Yes but from who? I don't have shoes the sting of the clod rushes through my feet and up my body. It hurts every time I breathe in like my lungs are freezing into icicles. The snow falling from the sky sticks to me like glue my eyelashes are covered making me need to wipe my eyes over and over again. I feel the need to scream but I'm scared of something. The trees are all around me the dark sky confuses me to no end. I trip on something and slide a few feet I feel a warm liquid dripping down my leg blood. I've distorted me knee when I fell and it hurt. "Ah!" a small weak hearted cry is all I can manage from all the pain I feel right now. I feel hot tears making their way from my face into the snow. My breath looks like smoke clouding my vision with each exhale. I feel my body numbing and I hear a voice in my head saying 'give up just give in and go to sleep' and feel it all taking over the cold hands of fate dragging me down into the dark waters of death. Just as I begin to give up I see something a blurred figure of a man in grey. "well, well what's this?" he kneels down and sliver hair follows "you don't want to die do you?" and I nod he picks me up and I feel warmth suddenly and that voice says 'safety now sleep' and the curtain of my eyes falls and dreams takes over.

I awoke I don't how much later but it was warm and comfortable when my eyes finally opened I was in a large bed with a sea of pillows and a huge fluffy blanket over me. It was soft and comforting like a mother's hug. I heard footstep and closed my eyes tightly pretending to sleep and the door opened with a soft 'swoosh' sound. The steps were rhythmic almost timed and in tone to a beat that was wired into the heart but no one could not hear but feel, like the beating of a heart. The rhythm of life, I was half tempted to jump up and see who the person was but I didn't I was scared that it would be a monster or someone that was going to hurt me. The steps stopped somewhere on the other side of the room and the voice came "I know you're awake sweetheart you don't have to fake it" there was a chuckle that followed making me rather uneasy. However I forced myself to sit up and open my eyes it took a moment for them to begin to see everything around me but it all started to take shape.

The man in grey now had a face his eyes mostly covered by his bangs and it was long very long past his shoulders. He knelt down next to the bed looking at me, he moved the bangs from over my eyes "My, my what pretty eyes you have what is your name hmm?" I shrugged "I don't remember" I whimpered looking back at him like a beaten dog. "Well until you remember I'll call you Jade how does that sound?" he asked and all I could do is nod is touch was oddly comforting and welcoming. I rested my head there for a moment closing them opening my eyes. Then it hit me I was alone my family (if I had any still can't recall) was dead and I was all alone. I couldn't hold anything back anymore and I cried deep hearted sobs. He stared for a moment not knowing what to do and wrapped his arms around me "Now don't cry it will all be fine trust me"

'Trust me' those words still echo in my head as the tears suddenly come to s stop. So odd this man is yet I feel so oddly safe. The fire cracked and I finally noticed the fire place and the pot above the fire. "Ah it should be done now" he walked over to it letting go of me and I wanted to grab him and beg him not to let go as if he did I would be alone. Then I coughed and it was odd I didn't remember coughing before but my chest was sore like they were ripped or stabbed my no wounds were there, just pale skin that I have always remembered. "You're sick you poor thing but I have an old family recipe that will cure you right up" he walked over with a bowl for steaming liquid. I looked and it was a nasty purple color "I'm not sure I should eat th-" I was stopped but a coughing fit. "Just say aw" he instructed. What could I do? I opened my mouth and he put a spoon full of it in my mouth and I almost vomited.

"That is the most disgusting thing in the whole world!" I yelled wiping my tongue off on my shirt. He chuckled "well if you want to get better you need to drink it" he said with a soft sigh. I took a deep breath grabbing the bowl from him and swallowed it all in seconds trying to ignore the flavor. I heard him just laughing and looked at him "You only had to drink half" he said I stared at him for a good thirty seconds then managed to ask "What was in there?" he fell silent. I thought I had asked something wrong then he spoke "Well there is lizard blood, frog tail, mushroom roots, pig's feet, two week old bread, sheep entrails, goat eyes, bird's nest, four beetles, one wasp, and a rat" he smiled cheerful I dry heaved "I think the other half is coming up!" I shoved my head out the window and vomited luckily not on anyone. I felt the soft, warm hands pat my back until I stopped. When I did he pulled me in and held me gently wiping the bile from my lips "Feeling better now?" he asked looking down at me and I nodded.

He patted my head "You're a strong one I can tell just by how you fought from your life out there in the snow when I found you" I looked confused. 'I was fighting some one?' I thought to myself "I mean most would have just laid there and died but not you nope you hung on till I got you here safe and warm" he put me in the bed and covered my little body. That when I relived I was not wearing the outfit I had been wearing just a long shirt that fit me like a nightgown. "Did you dress me?" I asked and he shook his head "No I had a lady friend of mine do it for me" he looked at me with such a kind smile I just had to believe him.

"Now then you should rest so you don't get to sick" he said in a soft voice "But!" I protested "No buts its best if you rest you went through a lot tonight and you're still in a bit of shock by the looks of it" his tone was kind and not loud he sounded like he cared for me. Me the child he just randomly found lying in the middle of nowhere. He brought his face close to mine and I felt myself blush and my little heart race a bit. He smiled more and kissed my forehead and with that my eyes closed and I drifted off into sleep and into my dreams.
