Ciel awoke to the bed shaking violently. Stunned and confused he reached for his lover in the dark. He could tell it wasnt only the bed that was shaking... he could hear the furniture shifting and groaning against the hard wood floor.

"Sebastian! Where are you!" he cried out in panic. The shaking only continuously got worse... He could hear distant screams far off beyond the solitary confines of his room. "Sebastian I need you!" He felt gental arms around him.

"Shh Ciel Im here."

"Whats happening Sebastian?"

"I dont know.. It apears to be an earthquake."

"Actually its not an earthquake at all." The voice was oddly familiar.

"A-Ash?!"

"Its the earth being perged of the sins of humans."

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Its the end of the world Ciel" Sebastian murmered slightly in realization.

"Thats impossibal." Ciels words were unmoveable. That is untill his entire body was jolted by yet another earth tremor. He clutched Sebastians shirt. "No! It cant be the end of the world! I waited so long to be happy and now I finnaly am and its the end?! No Sebastian! I wont let anything take you away!" He clung to his older lover.

"A few will live.." Ash seemed perfectly content to taunt him. "Those who are mentaly fit enough at least. Youll have to find your own way to survive...Even so I doubt youll make it.. your chances are slim.." The angel smirked. "The only beings that will be ententionally spared would be angels and shinigami."

Ciel panicked he had never known such fear. His fear wasnt that of death. Hed welcomed that idea for as long as he could remember. His fear was that of the possibility that he would never see his demonic lover again.

"Sebastian... I dont want to loose you. Not now... Not ever.. Youre soley mine... No matter what happens.. I wont let anything take you away." Ciel could feel his heart going numb.. He prayed that he die first...Anything to save him the agony of waching Sebastian die... His head spun and he suddenly felt light.. Almost as if he were running out of air and he suddenly slipped from consiousness falling into his lovers arms.

Sebastian gasped and held Ciel tightly. He was breathing. That was a good sighn.. He seemed alright.. maby a bit pale, but alive. He had most likely panicked and fainted. He was still a young demon. He hadnt had much exitement in his short life... After all this was his first time whitnessing an appocolypse.

Sebastian had been around for thousands of years.. Millions even.. Hed been through the extinction of the dinosaurs, In fact.. though he was the oldest demon alive, he was not the oldest created. He had lived through countless appocolypses. Sebastian was clever. Sebastian could outsmart gods. Appocolypses were merely a suggestion to demons. Yes it typicly killed a few but really it barely put a dent in the demonic population.. The only real extinction was that of whatever race was around at the time... first with cave men then slowely working its way up to the present day. It stamped out the unnesescary. Survival of the fittest. The stupid were killed off along with the physicly dissabled. It left behind a more stable population.. That that was "weeded out" were those the world was better without. leaving behind a more cunning and evolved population.

This also entailed that the appocolypse be worse each time it happened...In order to make this test more challenging for each generation of humans it had to test there weaknesses.. those with less weaknesses had a better chance of surviving and producing a better generation... And indeed the HUMAN population was the one most affected..

But what Ash had said... The demon population had grown much larger in the more recent years... mainly because as humanity evolved the humans began to reach the same level of intellegents as the demons had... Therefore demons could converse with them better than ever before... and though demons themselves were beautifull, they had a distict desire for their own pray and many found themselves in love with their dinner... Humans were much more fertile the demons, thus the population increased dramaticly. Sebastian supposed this appocolypse may pose real threat to his kind... Mostly this didnt bother him... But the thought of it hurting Ciel.. His young lover was to small to know how to handle himself in a situation such as this.. He couldnt possibly survive without some kind of knowledge on the situation..

Sebastian tightened his arms around his lover and stood holding Ciels fragile body tightly to his own. He shot a wicked glance at Ash and took off running at lightning speed. His only possibal way of keeping them safe was to stay sharp...

First came the earthquake

Sebastian would let his true form show... Hed use this wings it provided to fly above the violently shaking earth... He cared not who saw him.. Most of the present humans would be dead by the time they world was safe enough to spread rumors again.. Those demons who were to afraid to show the humans their power would parish ~ weed out the cowards. for they are unwanted.

Then came the floods.

The quake would have knocked out all the dams and floodgates the world had to offer..towns flooded. those trapped or wounded by the quake were killed. then came the rain..endlessly for days. Ciel must have been exausted for he slept through all of these things. many of the cities flooded causing thousands of death tolls.. Those demons not fast enough to run atop water drowned. Those demons to slow to outrun lightning were killed as well.~ weed out the slow, for they are useless.

Then came desease and starvation

The humans fell into a spell of desease..those who had been infected were destined for death. Ciel HAD woken up for this...he burried his face into Sebastians chest.

"Im not going to catch it am I?"

"were demons we dont catch human illnesses."

"then why are other demons dying?"

There were two reasons really... those demons who had human lovers that had been killed were dying off due to their own broken heart.. More humans were being killed due to the fact that demons had been holding back on eating for the past week over fear.. Some were dying of starvation because they were too afraid to eat. There was a shortage of humans now... Plenty of demons were staving due to the shortage of human souls.~ weed out the weak, the unnesescary, for they are unneeded.

Then came the flames

There was horrid drought. Animals that the humans ate starved and died due to crops dying out.. the humans starved and died due to having nothing to eat... Then the world caught on fire... the drought was too much.. one spark and the flame was ignited... everything burned. Ciel looked at his withered lover.

"you look so tired"

"Im only hungry..."

"Sebastian there arent enough humans left for all of us."

"I know"

"You need to eat.. why not fight another demon for your food... before theres none left to eat?'

"I dont want you to see me like that."

"Sebastian ou have to."

Sebastian killed the demon he fought.

Starvation set demons against eachother.

Everything burned.

Everything died.

The world was left with 185 humans and 340 demons...
