Note: Pretty long but I don't think I did well on explaining her past :/ Ah well, I may or may not go back to add more to it...
In just a couple of days, the battle would begin. Kyouko was still worried about that Shinigami, Will. If it weren't for him, this battle would be much easier and she wouldn't be worrying as much. At least since the future had changed, she hadn't blanked out though whenever Sebastian wasn't around, she would constantly sigh.
"Are you still bothered by the change in the future?" Sebastian asked as Kyouko had just finished placing the last book on the shelf. Once again, the library was clean.
"Bothered? Not at all," She lied, though she knew he wouldn't give up it was still fun to mess with him a bit.
"That's not what I hear. It seems the others have noticed your constant sighing and dreary atmosphere," He said.
"I'm just overworked, you see? I have…no time to prepare."
"You could simply ask the young master for some time off. He'll let you."
"And you worry over me because?" She asked as she walked up to him.
"You're the best partner in this household," Sebastian answered. There seemed to be more then that, but he didn't know what it was that made him so attracted to her.
"Really? Nothing more then that?" Kyouko asked, stepping right in front of Sebastian. She looked up at him, waiting for his response.
"As you would say, maybe or maybe not," He answered, using her own riddles against her. Kyouko rolled her eyes. It seemed the demon was beginning to be a bit playful.
"If you'll excuse me," Kyouko said. "I have to go…visit someone. So, if Ciel asks, just tell him I've gone to get bread."
"May I ask where are you going?" Sebastian asked.
"You may ask, but you won't get an answer today," She smiled and headed out of his sight.
"Madam Red?" Kyouko called out her name within the darkness. The place was an endless abyss of total darkness. She had gone to the place where all souls were reaped by Shinigamis to find the one she had made a contract with.
"Kyouko? Is that you?" A familiar voice asked. Madam Red appeared from out of nowhere.
"Madam! I have important news for you!" Kyouko said and went up to her. She told her what had happened a few days ago. About the change in the future and asked if she still wanted to keep the contract with her.
"Of course I do!" Madam Red said as she whipped out her fan. "I want Ciel safe…"
"I know…but, the problem-"
"Yes I know, that other Shinigami. He basically looks over Grell and holds a higher position then him."
Kyouko stood silent.
"I trust in you that you will take care of Ciel…even after what happens to me?"
"You have been the kindest soul I have met since I became a fallen angel," Kyouko said.
"I take that as a yes…besides, what was this different ending all about? You seemed a bit etchy on the details."
"Well…I was hoping for my death afterwards to atone for my sins…I've been running for far to long, but now…it seems to be that I will continue to live."
"Don't tell me that demon has fallen for you," Madam Red joked as she laughed. Kyouko looked away, a hint of red showed on her face.
"What? He has? You lucky girl!"
"It wasn't supposed to be like this…" She commented to Madam's shock.
"So, you were actually hoping for your death?" Madam asked and Kyouko nodded.
"Mind telling me why?"
"I guess…I could tell you about my past…It would explain everything," Kyouko answered and began her story.
Kyouko's POV (When she was an angel)
"Hey! Kyouko!" Henry called out to me. I turned to see him, my golden hair getting in the way. It was a bother to have it so long, but I never really did have the time to cut it.
"What is it, Henry?" I asked, standing up in my white dress. "Come to play with me?"
"No, not today," He said catching his breath.
"Well then, what do you want with me?"
"Michael wishes to assign us a mission."
"Really? What could be so important that he has to send two angels to do the job?" I wondered.
"He said your power would come in handy."
"I don't have total control of my power though…at least, not yet."
"Just come on! Let's go!" Henry said excitedly as he took my hand and led me to Michael.
He explained that our mission was simple. Go save a soul that was to be devoured by a demon. Using my powers, I found out that if we didn't save him today, the demon would eat his soul tomorrow.
We headed down to the human world and landed on what seemed like a huge mansion. The demon and the man appeared onto the scene, as if they had been expecting us.
"Be careful," Henry warned.
"This doesn't seem right…" I said. Something was off. I saw into the future, we were victorious against the demon, but then…it began to turn a bit fuzzy.
"No…" I said. This was strange. The future was beginning to change! This had never happened before. What could be the cause of this?
"Henry, we can't win this one," I said to him, but he ignored me and went up to the demon. He slashed at the demon with his dagger, while his contractor just stood there, in a daze.
"Henry!" I called out his name as I rushed to join in the fight. We battled for a while, until all of us ran out of breath.
"Wait! I think I know how to kill him!" Henry said.
"What? You can't! I-"
"Trust me, Kyouko. I can finish him off," He said. Why wouldn't he listen to me?
"Raaaagggghhhh!" He yelled as he charged after the demon. The demon's eyes began to glow red, brighter then before.
"No!" I shouted. He was about to turn into his true form and going to kill Henry. I flew to Henry's side and knocked him out of his path. We both managed to hit the ground, going away from the demon, but since we did that, the demon was able to devout the male contractor.
"No!" Henry shouted as he saw the male disappear. The demon laughed and came at us. I chanted a spell that angels use to protect from demons. A barrier had appeared around us and the demon could not get through. Eventually, it gave up and left.
"You…" Henry said. I turned to him.
"I saved your life," I told him.
"Why? Why didn't you trust me? I could have killed that thing!" He shouted at me. "This is unlike you…you always trust me…"
"I do trust you…it's just that-"
"What? You trust your power more then your friends? You know, the future is always changing," He said angrily. "Now we just lost a soul! This wouldn't have happened if only…"
He didn't finish the sentence, instead he flew back, angry with me. Why did he have to get so upset? Was it because it was the first time we lost a soul? Or because I didn't trust him? Sure my power wasn't that great, but I know what I saw. I saw Henry's death.
"Henry!" I shouted his name as tears rolled down my eyes. I couldn't stop the demon as it sliced Henry open. Blood splattered everywhere, even on me.
"You're next girl," It said. It approached me and it was about to slice me open that is until it was stopped by something else.
"What? Another demon?" It cried out as some type of claws slashed it.
"If your going to kill her, then I'm going to have to kill you," The other demon said. He appeared in his human form, unlike the other one who was in his demon form. He had flaming red hair and red eyes. He wore nothing but black.
"Why are you trying to save me?" I asked.
"Simple. You're dying," He answered. At first I was confused by what he said. I watched as this kind demon murdered the other and walked up to me.
"Would you like to make a contract?" He offered.
"With you?" I asked skeptical.
"I did save you from the other demon, if we make a contract you'll live and I won't kill you," He said smiling.
"What makes you think I will make a contract with you?" I asked.
"I'll finish off your little friend there if you don't and then you…besides, I'm curious to how an angel's soul tastes like."
I thought about my options and the fact that I couldn't see into the future frightened me. Was I really to die if I didn't take his offer? What about Henry? Was this my only chance to continue living?
If I do give into him…I'll become a fallen angel. The only way to die would to fall into a Shinigami's hands. But…I have to save Henry! I close my eyes.
"Fine…I'll give into your contract," I say.
"Your soul in exchange for your life," He said. "If I would have known getting an angel's soul was this easy, I would have gotten tons earlier."
He smirked as he stabbed me through the heart. I heard him say something, though I'm not sure what. The pain went away quickly and I opened my eyes to see the demon gone.
I stood up, my body perfectly fine. No scratches or injuries at all. I went over to Henry and picked him up.
"You've…become..." He muttered. "A…monster…"
"You gave into a demon. You are hereby banished from heaven!" The archangel told me.
"But, I did to save another angel!" I protested.
"You know the rules…never come back," He ordered. I was about to protest again, but then angels appeared around me.
"All I did was help a fellow angel," I muttered as I opened my black wings. The other angels gasped in fear. It's as if they feared the darkness of my wings. I flew away from this place and went into the world of the humans.
"Be gone, you filthy excuse of an angel," I heard the archangel say.
For years I was alone, traveling while seeing the future of others. I found it was easier to control my powers now. Maybe it was the demonic power now inside of me that made it easier? I'm not sure…but either way, I enjoyed this new strength. I became stronger then ever.
Of course, one day, Henry and Michael passed by me on one of their missions. I was hoping they didn't notice me. I had finally cut my hair and it also changed from gold to a dark black. My eyes had stayed the same purple though.
"Kyouko? Is that you?" I heard Henry ask as I walked by them. I stopped in my tracks. I'm sure he was told what happened to me, but I wasn't sure if he ever wanted to see me again.
"Yes, Henry?" I ask looking towards him. He seemed speechless. I saw him tighten his fists.
"Monster…" Michael muttered.
"I'm not a monster!" I shouted at him. "I haven't done anything wrong! I just wanted to save his life!" I pointed to Henry.
"You shouldn't have…" Henry said.
"What?"
"You just can't trust me anymore…can you?"
"What? Are you saying you wanted to die?" I ask angrily
"I would have been happy to die!" He shouted. "Look at what you've become! You're not one of us anymore!"
"You are no longer one of us," Michael said. He was commenting just to piss me off. "You now have a demonic nature within you. You shouldn't even be considered an angel."
"You want demonic? I'll show you demonic…" I say angrily. "I know the future. It won't change now. I'm sure of it. Your deaths are for certain!"
I blanked out after yelling that. When I came to, I found both of their bodies covered in blood. I had become the monster they said I was. I checked my eyes for tears, but none fell.
"I'm so sorry…" I whispered. I let my rage control me. After that event, I swore I'd never let my emotions control me. I had enough time to become indifferent, though bored whenever I would meet someone I tended to play with them a bit. It kept them from getting close to me and it wasn't like they'd miss me anyway.
I decided to use my powers to warn humans of certain demise in their lives, though few rarely believed me. They thought I was insane, but I couldn't tell them what I really was. That's when I saw Ciel's disaster.
