Hello! I'm going to try really hard to make this chapter better than the last couple ones! Hopefully it works :)

I don't own Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters but I do own characters, events, and other stuff that did not happen in the anime/manga. Enjoy!


My eyes widened impossibly as his face came closer and closer. When I thought he couldn't get any closer, he paused. I shifted my eyes to my left and glanced down at the side of his face that was visible at this angle and saw that his eyes were still blazing. Sebastian smirked and pressed his lips on my jawline right below my ear. He stayed there for a few seconds before grazing his lips upwards and he breathed into my ear.

"Whenever I do this, you seem to get exceptionally excited, Miss Dusk."

"What are you talking about?" I tried to brush off his comments but he chuckled before bringing his soft lips down the side of my neck.

"Whenever I do this, your soul becomes infinitely more...appealing..."

He paused just above my collarbone and I felt a sudden pressure.

He's done this before! I don't want another hickey.

I grabbed his head with my arms and pushed with all my strength but not before I felt the sharp pain.

"Ugh, really? Why do you keep doing this? I can't just hide it with makeup you know. I mean, if you're going to do this, at least make it so that it hurts less..," my voice trailed off as I rubbed the hickey with my finger. Sebastian was just watching me silently and I looked up as I continued rubbing the area.

"I need to make sure others know that you are my property and make sure no one touches you."

"Now you're being all caring and possessive? What the heck, Sebastian? Where were you when that son of a bitch was attacking me? And why did you even bring me to the Midford house? What are you planning? Why d-"

Before I finished speaking, Sebastian placed his index finger over my lips.

"Shhh. I said I would answer any questions you might have so there's no need to rush."

I still didn't believe he would answer all my questions but I shut my mouth and looked at him defiantly.

"Yes. That's the expression I enjoy. You're rebellious...although I can break you in an instance."

I sighed and softened my gaze.

"Alright, I get it. I'll be good. Now, just answer my questions..." I glanced up at him and widened my eyes," please?"

This was the first time I tried to pleaded with him in this manner and he was taken aback. Sebastian seemed surprised before he chuckled.

"My, my, Miss Dusk. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were purposefully trying to seduce me."

I looked at him in annoyance and he finally dropped his act. His smirk loosened and he looked at me seriously.

"As I promised, I am willing to answer any questions you might have."

"Really? For some reason I don't think you'll answer all my questions."

"You'll just have to ask to know."

Sebastian's eyes were twinkling with amusement and I decided to just go with it. I settled into the bed more and leaned my head and shoulders against the back of the bed. Slouching down a bit, I crossed my legs and thought about the questions I wanted to ask him.

"How old are you?"

"Older than you might think...maybe a few thousands years?"

"Wow, you're old."

Although I knew Sebastian wasn't human, I was still surprised at his age. But then again, I don't know what I was expecting. I nodded my head and scrunched my eyebrows as I thought about what else I wanted to ask him. Sebastian was still sitting on the bed but he had swung his long legs over the edge of the bed and looked at me with his torso twisted. He patiently waited as I gathered my thoughts.

"What's your contract with Ciel?"

"Getting straight to the point, Miss Dusk?" Sebastian chuckled as he looked into my eyes. "However, that is a trade secret so I won't tell you."

"What?! You told me you were willing to answer any questions I had!"

"I said I am willing to answer your questions not that I will answer every single question."

I puffed out my cheeks and mumbled.

"I knew this was too good to be true..."

"Is that all you want to ask me? I thought you'd be asking me more interesting questions..or at least, you wouldn't give up this easily."

I shook my head and felt determined.

"I'm going to get my answers!"

"Ah yes. That's the spirit."

"Uhh...Why did you bring me to the Midford mansion?"

"I thought it would be entertaining."

"That's it?"

"Why? Is there a problem, Miss Dusk?"

"Tch no. So, was that entertaining? Watching me struggle?"

"Very much so."

"Wow. I see."

I chewed on the inside of my mouth as my mind raced.

I should probably just throw away my sense of pride so I can ask him all the questions I have. This way even if he doesn't answer all my questions, at least I tried and might get some answers.

Having made up my mind, I took a deep breath to calm myself before opening my mouth.

"So...Let's go back to the verrrry beginning."

"Yes?"

"Why did you bring me back to the mansion? You knew I was too scared to go against you or tell others about you."

Sebastian brought his fingers up to his chin and pretended to be in deep thought.

"Like I said before, I had originally planned to keep you for a bit as a toy then discarding you."

I recoiled a little at the heartless comment but ignored it.

"But...?"

"Now I see you have more value than I originally thought."

"How so?"

He put up his gloved hand, signaling the end of this line of questioning. I sighed and cursed under my breath.

So close!

"Alright. Since you won't answer that...how about you tell me about everything you know about my past and my family?"

"That's not a question, Miss Dusk."

I threw up my hands in frustration.

"You know what I mean! Don't play word games with me."

"I'm merely pointing the fact that you're not following the guidelines I set for this question session."

"Alright, fine! Do you know if what was said during conversation between Marie and Brody we eavesdropped on was true?"

"I cannot answer that."

"Why? Because you don't want to?"

"No, because I do not know the answer to that. Quite frankly, I know about as much as you do when it comes to your...complicated lineage."

I narrowed my eyes and stared at Sebastian for a good minute or two.

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"You'll have to decide that for yourself."

"Ugh, you're impossible."

"Why, thank you."

"That wasn't a compliment."

Sebastian ignored my comments and raised his eyebrows.

"Any more questions?"

"Let's see. I can't ask you why you're keeping me around, I can't ask you about my family, and I can't ask you about the contract with Ciel?"

He gave me a closed eye smile.

"Precisely."

"Well then there's nothing else I want to know about..."

Sebastian began to stand up and unconsciously, I reached out and grabbed his sleeve. He paused and looked down at me with an unreadable expression.

"Yes, Miss Dusk?"

"Ah..it's nothing. I don't know why I did that."

"Very well then. Good night."

He gave me a bow and left the room. I could still feel his presence in the room and I began talking to myself.

"I grabbed him because I thought I had more questions for him but my mind blanked when I actually touched his sleeve...Gah! Dusk, you're so useless!"

I chided myself as I slipped under the covers.

I'll just have to take it one day at a time. Oh! I finally have something I can ask him...why does this happen? I always come up with what I want to say long after the opportunity has passed...Ugh...

As I settled into the mattress and relaxed, I recited what I wanted to ask Sebastian over and over in my head so I wouldn't forget it the next day.


Welllllll here ya go! A little dialogue between these two. Hopefully Sebastian was IC :/ I started writing this chapter on Wednesday and I'm going to try to do that more. It makes it easier for me to develop my ideas without being stressed out about the deadline. I hope you liked this chapter!

BlackDragon2016: Thank you!

darkangelynn5: You'll figure out the answers to your questions either in this chapter or the future! Sorry for being all cryptic but you know, I don't want to spoil anything :)
