Chapter 2: Different Life and Name

I do not own Kuroshitsuji!


During the coldest night of that winter of December 25, 1873 nobody dared to step outside at all, under any normal circumstances.

The snow fell heavily from the pitch black abyss called the night sky; decorating the dirty and deserted cobblestones streets of London with a fresh new white carpet. The beautiful Victorian buildings on both sides had the soft glow of light from the windows in most households for those celebrating Christmas night.

The only oddity was that a Japanese woman wearing a kimono crafted from the finest of silks strolled down the middle of the street in wooden shoes.

Anybody that saw her right that second would have said that she looked like a dark haired angel gliding over the snow of a foreign land.

In a sense, they would have been half way right with that statement.

If this woman would have been a human, she probably would have missed the sound of soft breathing and the scent of rich vanilla coming from the steps of an orphanage. With a slight interest, she detoured off into the direction of the only source of life out in the cold night.

The oriental woman had already predicted what the creature was the instant she smelt it, but its appearance was enough to make a gasp of surprise escape her mouth.

At first glance, what would have caught your eye first would be the beautiful face of a sleeping baby girl with a slight blush on her chubby cheeks from the cold. Next would be the wild and untamed brunette hair on top of a small head covered mainly by a warm blanket that was also wrapped securely around her small frame.

The sight of such a beautiful baby made the demon pause momentarily. It wasn't only her appearance that made her stop, but really the power she felt inside the child's body.

"Impossible! Your kind was supposed to be extinct centuries ago."

A burst of amusement, surprise, and an extreme interest all at once blossomed inside the Japanese demon. She knelt down beside the young child and picked her up into her arms as she stood back up to have a closer look.

The moonlight illuminating her face enhanced her beauty even more if possible, almost like a mystical snow fairy.

The child began to stir, and the eyelids slowly lifted from her eyes finally revealing the eye color, but it wasn't just one color; it was two.

Her right eye was the rarest and deepest color of violet the demon has ever seen in this world, and her left eye had the melting color of gold when about to be molded into gold coins.

"Well, what an interesting human you are."

The demon gave the child an amusing smirk the baby giggled in delight.

Lifting the baby high in the air made the child squeal with joy because of the higher view. The demon was also caught in the moment and was making decisions right there and then.

"As of today, you are to be known as Yukiko Sakurakuji, my adopted daughter."

Smiling slyly at Yukiko, the demon brought her down to eye level and said,

"Do you like your name Yukiko?"

Little Yukiko intensely stared into the demon's red eyes then suddenly slapped her on the forehead hard enough to leave a little hand print.

In deep shock the demon stared wide-eyed at the child and Yukiko continued to stared back at her.

The atmosphere was tense and almost suffocating until they both began to laugh out loud.

"You're the most intriguing human I have ever encountered in all of my life span. I wonder how long you will last living with me."

Yukiko sent another slap to the face of the demon as if to said 'I'm not afraid of you, just get me some milk.'

A smirk was slithered onto the demon's face as she said,

"You've already inherited my abusive trait; I can only hope that you would have some of my humor."

Another loud slap filled the chilly cold night as the odd pair of a baby and Japanese demon walked the empty streets of London.

"I guess you're going to be the serious and abusive type of girl, huh?"

A chuckle escaped the demon's lips as she thought of what's to come in the future.

"What a very amusing night."


Sorry I'll make it longer next time! You'll figure out how the Japanese demon looks like and her name probably next chapter. Thanks and review please!
