Kitana: Just a warning beforehand, I cried while writing this and I didn't have the heart to edit it, so if you see any typos or anything like that, let me know. Major character death and quite frankly the possible death of your feels. Do read at your own risk. I may or may not continue this. It depends on people's reactions.

Grell: Lunara doesn't own any Kuroshitsuji characters no matter how much she wishes she did.

Pairing: Claude/Sebastian

EDIT: BTW I edited this...if you read it before, then most of the changes were just added detailing and Hannah lasted more than 1milisecond. If you haven't read it then do continue on and forget you read this. ;D

Sebastian let out a strangled scream as the blade ran through him, effectively pinning him to the ground. Cold realization hit as he lay there, his killer landing a few feet away from him. How could he have lost? He looked up at Claude as the other stood before him. How? Why? What would happen to his master? He was stunned that the one demon he'd trusted his heart to was now the one to end him, but as his blood streamed from the open would and his mouth he found he couldn't possibly feel any anger or hatred for the golden eyed demon. It was hatred as much as confusion. He had so many questions, none of which would be answered to him.

"C-Claude..." He gasped out, trying to smile as he watched the spider demon approach.

Claude took a moment to look at Sebastian, the confusion and pain in the others eyes. The blood that streaked across him and around him. It hit him like a slap to the face. The sword holding the other down wouldn't let the wounds heal. He wouldn't be getting up from this and it was his fault. He looked to hands, seeing them stained in the blood of the one on the ground.

"W-What have I done?" Claude asked, falling to his knees beside the dying crow demon. A soft hand reached up and rested against his cheek causing golden eyes to shoot up and meet crimson in surprise as the satin covered thumb brushed the tears that had started to fall away in a slightly clumsy manner. The other was obviously trying to mask the pain.

"Shh...Claude...don't cry," Sebastian said softly.

"Don't speak, please..." Claude begged, drawing the sword from his lover so he could cradle him in his arms, wincing himself at the small cry of pain that was brought out from the other. He pressed his hand against the wound, hoping to stop the blood somehow even though he knew it'd be useless. The spider held the crow until he felt him reach up and grip his hand, whining in pain as his entire body convulsed. Claude knew what was happening and all he could do was cling to Sebastian as he cried out in pain, tears streaming freely from his eyes. His hand over the stab wound left that in favor of holding the other's hand. There was nothing more he could do for the wound at this point anyway.

"I-It hurts... " Sebastian gasped, shaking as Claude held him, tears streaking his face. A demon's death was never a peaceful thing. Shinigami had to quite literally rip their dark souls from them, but since none cared the dying demon was forced to wait out their soul simply ripping itself away as it was dragged back to Hell where they might one day be reborn, but it was a rare occurrence and hadn't happened in their lifetime.

"I-I'm scarred...I don't...I don't want to die..." The crow choked, fear ebbing into his expression as he gripped the spider. Sebastian wasn't sure when he started to fear death, but now that it was happening. Now that he could feel his soul being ripped, he was scarred. What would happen to him? He didn't know what it was like to die. He'd never been human in the first place. A sense of panic flooded him as his grip on Claude tightened. He didn't want to leave the other. He couldn't...could he?

"Shhh, I know...I know...you'll be ok...shhh...don't be scarred..." Claude tried to sooth him, wincing at each cry that was ripped from his lover's throat as he tried to comfort him. Give him some form of solace away from his fears. All the while he couldn't help but wonder why. Why had he given up the crow for a soul that wouldn't even last him longer than another human lifetime? Why when he could have spent the rest of his eternity with the one he loved? What was so important over that one soul?

"I-I love you...don't...forget that..." Sebastian gasped out at some point between the attacks of pain, the fear still there, but it was being replaced by a sudden acceptance. He was going to die and there was nothing he could do, but at least tell the spider he loved him one last time and give him one last kiss goodbye. Claude knew what he was trying to do when the other tried to lift and arm and he helped him link the others arms over his neck as he pressed his lips to Sebastian's. He put everything he wanted to say to the other in their last kiss. All too soon he felt the other's body tense before it became limp, grip around his neck loosening before it released him entirely.

"S-Sebastian?" Claude asked, pulling back from lips that had stopped responding. As if testing to see if he was gone, he called again. "M-Malacine?"

The spider demon froze as his words caught in his throat. He tried many more times, calling, asking pleading the other to stop messing around. Begging him to wake up. It wasn't until he felt the smaller demon's warmth start to ebb away that he knew he was truly dead. Rig would set in soon, freezing the body of his crow up for eternity. The disbelief that clouded his judgement ebbed away and he threw his head back in a demonic cry of frustration, pain and loss. Shoulders fell and tears dripped down onto the cold face of his love.

He tried to smile, knowing Sebastian always loved it most when the golden eyed butler would smile for him. Brushing the crow's bangs away from his face as he closed those crimson eyes one last time. Not willing to see the glassy look they'd taken on. He simply couldn't.

"I will love you forever...I will bring you back...That I promise you." His voice was quite as he wiped away his tears and lifted the dead weight that was the others body. The demon sword was tucked under his arm as he jumped up to the top of the canyon. His expression stoic as he laid Sebastian on the bench that had somehow survived the fight. With one final kiss to Sebastian's forehead, he turned around and glared at the demonness. He wanted to blame her for Sebastian's death, but he'd done that. Instead, he blamed her for claiming it should come down to a fight. She knew that he and the crow were together.

"Ciel Phantomhive is yours. Claude." Hannah said, stepping aside to reveal the newly born demon that was the tantalizing human known as Ciel Phantomhive. The boy had no eyes for Claude though, he ran straight to his butler.

"This is your fault. You arranged this." Claude growled, gripping her throat in his hand as he raised the sword above him. His hatred and fury startled both the her fear to memory, he ran the blade through her chest and tossed both her and the sword over the edge of the canyon. He ignored the woman's scream as she fell and instead turned to the shocked boy that was gripping Sebastian's shoulders, ordering him to wake up and calling to him similarly to how Claude had moments before.

"Ciel..." Claude interrupted, putting his hand on the young demon's shoulder.

"Is he...Is he dead?" The boy asked, turning a heartshattered look to the spider and effectively catching him off guard. He hadn't expected the attachment between Sebastian and his master to go both ways. The heartbreak turned to fury as his eyes became a demonic color, pupils slitting. "Did you kill him?!"

"Yes...he's dead...by my hands..." Claude's head hung as he prepared to face the newborn's wrath, but he at least wanted Ciel to understand something before the possible fight ensued. "But I made him a promise and if you try to kill me now neither of us will ever see him again."

He watched the younger take this in and he could tell the boy wanted to kill him and for a moment he thought he would. Then, Ciel did the unexpected and simply turned to Sebastian. His hand rested affectionately on the others cheek before he knelt, resting his head on the dead demon's shoulder and silently cried. Claude approached cautiously, pausing at the warning growl Ciel gave him. He stepped up slowly to the other side of Sebastian and knelt there, laying his head over the now still heart. Both of them kept a silent vigil over him, having their own private funeral with the crow demon.

At sunrise they rose and Claude picked up Sebastian again as easily as he could since the other was now frozen stiff. They returned and for once, the Undertaker didn't smile as he prepared a body for burial. The actual funeral was held and Elizabeth didn't have to cry Ciel's tears for him that time. Nothing but sobs were heard and, despite better judgement, they put him in a safety coffin. The four servants waited and refused to leave until they were forced to. They couldn't believe that the bell hadn't rung like it had before. All of them were heartbroken.

A black stone marked his grave, picked out by the servants and suggested by Undertaker. White, curled letters in an elegant script read:

"Sebastian Michaelis.
_ - 1888

Simply One Hell of a Butler."
