Demon with a growing Heart

by PotatoChanMB

This is an OOC AU and my first Kuroshitsuji fanfic. 'The fact that I am a demon will never change but is it possible for the demon to change? To grow something human as a caring heart' 'As always my lord, I will stay by your side until the end, but the end may not be the one we expected.'

Prologue 2,

The Dark Hallway

Hellish Soul Diary 7

Year 2

Although it can happen, it's still rare that my contracts are still not fulfilled after a year. I try to finish my contracts as fast as I can because, while I can starve for a while just to get that perfect soul, my shadows can not and they will get restless if starving for too long.

My shadows can become so restless that they will even go so far as to instead patiently waiting for the soul, they will just devour it themselves.

The shadows are not affected by the contract, I am their master and the one that controls them but I don't mind when they control themselves to faster end the contract, they always share the soul energy with me. Well, I usually don't mind….

Apparently my young master had a nightmare and he decided to come to me for comfort. Rather foolish to believe that I could do comfort, especially after something as a nightmare when I AM a living nightmare.

Anyway, the young earl got lost in the darkness in his own mansion, how is it possible to get lost in your own home is a big mystery to me but I suppose he was just scared, and not just because of the nightmare.

I was just calmly reading my previous 6 Soul Diaries when I got interrupted by a loud scream that I thought I recognized from other times and I felt that weird feeling in my chest but it was more stronger than before. When I arrived to where my young master was, huddled in a corner of the dark hallway with his eyes closed, I thought that the soul has already perished into him, my most powerful shadow.

But turns out he only fainted and so I instinctively picked him up and put my young master into bed.

Why I did not let my young master perish and why I have this feeling in my chest when he's in danger is still something that I do not understand BUT I refuse to believe that I'm actually feeling a heart.

I just followed the contract and did what was expected from me, even if my master has fainted I am to protect him from any harm.

Taking care of such a young master is just tiring me out and not letting me think clearly.

Next time he or anyone else wants to have that soul I will let them have it because I AM a demon and that fact will never change.
