Kudoki Monku Ja Nakute: It's Not a Pickup Line!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler or this song and lyrics.

This is my first fanfiction, so hope you like it! The words from the song was also used in the dialogue. I had to rewrite this and delete my old one, it had too many grammatical mistakes… And it still does, the wording is super awkward and choppy -_-

Song used: Kudoki Monku Ja Nakute

Sung by: Ronald Knox (Ken'ichiro Ohashi)


Chotto, soko no kimi

(Yo, the pretty gal over there!)

Zutto mitemasu ga

(I've been watching you for quite a while now,)

Kekkou kitemasu ne

(And you seem quite popular)

On a seemingly regular day, _ was with her friends hanging out at the park when a voice called out to out to the group. "Yo! The pretty gal over there!" the voice said. _ turned around and she immediately spotted a good-looking man with peculiar orange and black hair looking and pointing at her. Said man then motioned for _ to come over and she obeyed, while ignoring the giggles, nudges and looks of her friends. He grinned at her as she reached him, "I've been watching you for quite awhile now, and you seem quite popular." He pointed out. _ blushed, ignoring the remark about being watched. "My name is _. " _ said and she held out her hand for him to shake. His chesire grin widened. "Name's Ronald Knox." He said, and instead of taking her hand and shaking it, he lightly kissed it. If the crimson colour on _'s cheeks weren't noticeable before, they sure were now.

Sotto oshiemasu ne,

(I'll secretly let you in on something.)

Otto, naisshona no de,

(Ah, but since it's a secret,)

Satto kikinagashite,

(Just quickly lend your ears,)

Wasurete shimaimashou?

(And then forget about it completely, okay?)

All of a sudden, the atmosphere around _ and Ronald tensed and his expression became serious. Leaning in closer to _, she had tried backed up, but his hands had -unbeknownst to you- found their place on her shoulder and held onto the girl tightly, rendering her to be unable to move backwards. "I'll secretly let you in something, do you want to hear it?" he asked. Hesitantly, _ thought about it for a moment and nodded. There's no harm in listening to a stranger's secret. But as he began to spoke, Ronald stopped, "Ah, but since it's a secret, just quickly lend your ears and then forget about it completely, okay?" he said. _ nodded, sure to take in what he was about to tell her.

Ato wazuka nanoka de, taimu rimitto desu

(You only have 7 days left.)

"You only have 7 days left." He softly said. _ drew back, and looked at him, confusion clouding over her expression and eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?" She asked. He shook his head. "Nope. I'm a grim reaper." He quickly explained himself. Strangely, _ found herself believing him. "Why are you telling me this?" She asked. The next words that spouted from his mouth made _'s mind and heart whirl.

"Because, it seems like I've fallen for you."

Donna ni agakou tomo,

(No matter how hard you fight,)

Mou sadame wa kaerarenai.

(You can't change your fate anymore.)

"It's says right here, _(f/n)_, _(l/n)_, due to die in a week at 12:23 PM. Cause: traffic accident." He cheerfully proclaimed, although, on the inside, his heart was ripping. "Is there any way to change this?" _ asked. Ronald shook his head. "No matter how hard you fight, you can't change your fate anymore." He said.

Tada shizuka ni toki wo machi tamashii no shinsa wo suru.

(I'll wait here quietly and then judge your soul.)

"I'll wait here quietly and judge your soul, okay?" The peculiar colour-haired boy said and jumped off somewhere. Still shocked by the news and sudden absence, _ regained her composure and fake-smiled as she made her way back to her friends, brushing off their excited questions about the topic of the conversation the two had. If what the man said was true, then _ had a list of thing to do before she left the world.

Kitto sono yousu ja…

(From the way you look right now,)

Shokko na no deshou?

(Are you in a state of shock?)

Motto yaritai koto

(There must be a lot of unfinished business,)

Nokotteiru no deshou?

(That you still want to finish, right?)

Two days have passed ever since _ first saw Ronald Knox and here he was, standing in her doorway when she answered the door. "From the way you look right now, are you still in a state of shock?" He asked. You nodded and he judged your face. "There must be a lot of unfinished business you want to finish, right?" You nodded again. "You better hurry up, because there's 4 days left." Usually, _ would have beaten the life out of the person that tried to do any touchy-feely things with her, but as Ronald wrapped his arms around the girl, she found it comforting. All emotions that she tried desperately to keep captive in her own heart broke loose and tears streamed out from her eyes.

Kagiri aru jikan wo douka taisetsu ni.

(Please use your limited time wisely.)

As Ronald left _'s house, he looked up into the night sky and thought: "Please use your limited time, wisely, _." The clock chimed 12 times. 4 days left.

Haederu zassou no you ni,

(I reap the worthless souls,)

Kachi no nai mono karitoru.

(As if they are newly sprung weeds.)

"I reap the worthless souls, as if they are newly sprung weeds." That was his motto, before he met _. Sure, if other grim reapers were given you as their assignment, they would think of you as worthless, watching you desperately trying to complete goals after goals, but he didn't think you were worthless. He loved you and he would watch you from afar, silently cheering you on from the background. Night after night, Ronald would go back to the head office and plead for you to live longer. "No, her death was decided right from the start. You can't do anything to change it." His superior would say over and over, until he finally accepted that he couldn't change your death. 2 days left.

Donna ni agakou tomo,

(No matter how hard you fight,)

Mou sadame wa kaerarenai.

(You can't change your fate anymore.)

"As I said before, no matter how hard you fight, you can't change your fate anymore." Ronald said. _ had asked him again for an extension of your life. The pair was sitting on the bench of the very park where they had first met, talking about _'s death as if it was the weather. His hand gently grasped _'s and gave it a light squeeze, as if she'd easily break, even if he exerted a tiny bit of force. _ squeeze back gently and gazed at the sun as it went down. 1 day left.

Dou yara akiramemashita ne.

(It seems like you've given up.)

Daijoubu goanshin.

(That's okay, feel at ease.)

It was the day. _ were with Ronald, on your first and last date of her life. It was the last thing on her to-do list before she died. He squeezed _'s hand gently. "You've done what you've needed to do, right? It seems like you have given up. That's okay, feel at ease." He whispered into her ear. 15 minutes left.

Karei ni suikoushimasu yo,

(I will execute my duty magnificently,)

Akuma no torarenai you ni…

(Without giving the demon a chance to steal from me.)

The two arrived at the corner where _ was destined to die in 5 minutes. Ronald turned to look at the girl. "I will execute my duty magnificently, without giving the demon a chance to steal from me. Without giving a demon a chance to steal YOU from me." He said. She smiled. "You better… I trust you. _ stared at the street sadly. "I'll miss you, you know?" She said, tears starting to gather in the corner of her eye. He smiled sadly. "I know. I'll miss you, too." 1 minute left. It was time. _ tiptoed up and gently pressed her lips to his. His eyes widened, then fluttered shut and he kissed back softly. Her true last and final thing to do: Her first and last kiss. _ pulled apart, walked to the edge of the curb and looked back. She mouthed something at him and his eyes widened. Then he gave her his signature cheeky grin and she smiled back contently and turned away. As tears streamed down her face she walked across the street. 5…4…3…2…1…0.


R & R. It'll make my day. XD
