"Madam Red," Kyouko called to her when she entered the realm where the reaped souls were kept.
"Ahh, there you are Kyouko," Madam Red appeared in front of her.
"The task has been completed."
"And now you're here to collect your reward?" Kyouko nodded. "I have one last request, if you don't mind."
"What is it?" Kyouko asked curious at what it could be.
"Well…"
"You wish not to be seen, Madam?" Kyouko asked as she led the ghostly figure of Madam Red through the Phantomhive household.
"Of course! Though it doesn't really matter if you think about it…" Madam Red said with a sad sigh. Kyouko looked at her. Was she really going to miss Ciel? Was Ciel going to miss her? Maybe…just maybe, she could find a loophole for her…
"You know, I've never done this before," Kyouko said as she led Madam up to Ciel's study. "I've always just taken the soul without a second thought."
The two females peered through an open window from the balcony, watching as Ciel was reading a book. Madam Red looked longingly at the young boy. She regretted what she had done as Jack the Ripper.
"It's nice to know he's safe in both yours and Sebastian's hands," Madam said with a sad sigh. "If I only I could speak to him…"
Kyouko bit her lower lip. Fallen angels were already known for breaking rules, so why not break a few more? Besides, they didn't have an organization like the Shinigamis. The rules set for them were only meant to not cause chaos in the world; so breaking these one or two rules wouldn't hurt…would it?
"Madam, I can grant you that wish," Kyouko says as she heads to the door of Ciel's study, Madam following.
"What?" She asked surprised, but was unable to say more as Kyouko opened the door.
"Ciel, I have someone who wants to see you," She said politely.
"Who would want to see me at this…time?" Ciel said angrily, but his voice dropping as he saw a ghostly figure of Madam Red.
"Kyouko! What are you doing?" Madam yelled at the girl. "I thought you weren't allowed to do such a thing?"
"Didn't you want to talk to him? Now's your chance," She said smiling to the both of them. "I'll be outside."
Kyouko walked out, leaving the two alone. There was an awkward silence between the two.
"So, my little Ciel, how have you been?" Madam finally asked.
"Fine," He answered. Ciel didn't know what to say to her. Madam huffed at his comment.
"I see you haven't changed one bit! Still rude as ever! I should ask Kyouko to do something about it," Madam said to him.
"I don't need a personality change."
"You're right…you don't," She said as she walked over to him. You're perfect the way you are, she thought to herself. You don't need to change one bit.
"What are you-"
Ciel is cut off as Madam brings the young boy into a hug. She feels tears in her eyes as this will be the last time she'll ever be able to see Ciel. He won't have any more memories of her and won't be able to recall a thing.
Meanwhile, outside of the study, Sebastian confronted Kyouko. He gave her a questioning look.
"What?" Kyouko asked him.
"I never knew you could be so…kind," Sebastian answered. She grinned at his comment.
"I do have my moments," She said, but gave a sad look.
"What's the matter? Aren't you happy that everything is over?"
"I am, but it would be a shame for everyone to forget about Madam…"
"If I know you, then you probably already have something planned, don't you?"
"You know me to well, Sebastian. If only you could see the future as well, but then it wouldn't be fun to tease you."
Before they could continue their conversation, Madam Red burst open through the door, using her hat to hide her eyes.
"I am ready, Kyouko dear," She said. "But…can we do it away from here?"
Kyouko could hear the trembling in her voice and nodded. They headed outside the mansion and went to her grave.
"I guess…this is good-bye," Kyouko tells her. She was actually sad that this day would come, but she knew that she could never avoid the future.
"You will take care of Ciel, won't you?" Madam asked and Kyouko nodded. "Good. Well, do what you have to do."
Kyouko turned towards her, and pushed her hand through her chest, reaching for her heart. Madam was amazed at how there was no pain; she was expecting it to hurt as much as when Grell killed her. When Kyouko pulled out her hand, she was holding a red ball, which was Madam's soul. Her ghostly figure faded away.
"Madam…I was happy to serve you. Because of you, I met a certain demon who will…or shall I say, already has changed my life," Kyouko gave a sad smile to the red soul in her hands. "By giving up some of my time, Ciel will remember you. He will be the only one while everyone else will not know who you are."
Kyouko then put her hands to her mouth, swallowing the soul. Nothing seemed to have change, but the memories of Madam Red were gone from the world.
A Few Weeks Later
"If you create a toy that has changeable features, it will really boom in the market," Kyouko told Ciel. He was having some problems thinking of what toy to create, so he had his latest maid use her powers to see what would keep the company going.
"Changeable features…" Ciel muttered. He was waiting for her to continue and add something, but since she didn't he figured the idea would eventually come to him.
"May I leave now, Ciel?" Kyouko asked politely. She never did call him young master like everyone else in the household. Amazingly, Ciel never scolded her about it, but found it annoying at times.
"Yes, you may," Ciel said. He noticed a small smile play on her face before she turned around to leave. She must be planning something with Sebastian, he thought. Ciel noticed that the two had grown very close after the incident. Everytime Sebastian would tease him; he would tease Sebastian about Kyouko, which to his surprise shut him up quickly.
Ciel had to admit, he was a bit jealous of their relationship, but found it was all right since they both took care of everything and still managed to protect him. He smirked at the fact that he could use Sebastian to do anything just by mentioning Kyouko's name and vice versa.
Sebastian was at their usually meeting spot, waiting for Kyouko to appear. This was not the first time she would be late, but she knew it didn't really matter since Sebastian would always forgive her. Sebastian was lost in his thoughts as he petted his little cat.
It was strange for him to now be in a relationship, especially with someone who wasn't even part of his species. Though, this girl was different, odd, annoying, and many other negative things he could think of, he was attracted to her. Her teasing had grown on him and couldn't stand to see her disappear. No matter how many times she reassured the demon, he still fretted about her safety and the fact that she could probably go on a killing spree if she was ever pissed off.
He sighed to himself. He wondered how a girl like her could ever affect him so much. Sebastian was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed a shadow appear over him.
"I know, late again," Kyouko said nonchalantly. "Blame Ciel."
"He is the young master, I cannot put the blame on him."
"Then who will you blame?"
"You."
"I was simply doing his task. Is it my fault he made me stay a bit longer?"
"You have some kind of excuse for everything."
Kyouko was silent after that and turned her attention to the cat. It still never purred whenever she held it, but she didn't mind that.
"Sebastian," She said. "The future isn't as clear as I thought it would be."
More future talk? This just means confusion for me, Sebastian thought.
"What do you mean?" He asked with concern.
"We're going to have to deal with those Shinigamis again," She said with a sigh. "But, I can't wait to see the look on Grell's face when I kiss you in front of him."
"Do you want to be on the death list?" He asked. She hesitated before answering.
"I used to…but that changed when I fell for you," She said giving him a rare true smile.
"I never knew I could have such an impact on your life," Sebastian said smiling to her.
"In a way…you saved my life. So, you could say I am indebt to you," She said as he looked into his demon eyes.
"Are you saying that you are mine to command?"
"Wouldn't you like to be the master for once? Though I don't plan to do everything you dirty demon." Kyouko noticed a tint of pink appear on Sebastian's cheeks. Demons would be demons.
"You do know that I cannot have you perform such dangerous tasks now," Sebastian said as his face got closer to hers.
"I know, but only I know the outcome of such things. So, you'd better be prepared."
They both leaned in for a romantic kiss. It may have not been a 'romantic' moment, but it was filled with passion and maybe a little bit of lust?
Kyouko could feel Sebastian bite her tongue, and that was when she pulled away.
"Why must demons be so naughty?" She questioned.
"We are not naughty, you just seem to captivate me and I cannot control myself," He answered. Kyouko did her famous grin.
"I know how naughty you can be."
Note: O.O A little perverted at the end, but I managed to finish this fanfic! I'm glad people actually liked this...Though I had to admit I have a few problems with this, but (eventually) I'll go back and clean it up. I can't believe this all came from a freakin dream I had! (I can't recall it now though...)
I was meaning to update this yesterday, but was unable to. I hope I got Madam's character, but since I only read the manga (and she dies so early!) I didn't know if I got her character right. I hope Sebastian's was okay to...
Well thank you my readers! :D Especially Hope Diamond since you gave the most reviews.
