Criss: Last one! **Sobs in the corner**

Kuro is Yana's!


We stood there and watched it burn. Sebastian had his arms wrapped around me, I knew it was to keep me from running back into the flaming school. I cried and dropped to my knees. "Lena..." Ciel's cold voice called from Sebastian's side. I wasn't sure if he was trying to comfort me or chide me. I assume the later.

"You-" I sobbed for the ash covered pavement. "You could have saved them!" I yelled at my standing demons.

"What good would that do?" A familiar voice came from behind. "You'd just be prolonging the inevitable. Excuse my callousness, but I don't see the sadness in death. It is everyone's destiny to eventually die, since it is our destiny, there is no need for sadness." Grell got to his knees and hugged me. "You will see that death is the only truth in our Hell of a world." He whispered in my ear.

I cried and hugged him. "They were so young... think of all the thinks they could have accomplished... of all the things they can never experiance or feel or witness..." I cried into his shoulder.

"Think of all the sadness and pain they've been spared, or of all the wonderful memories they'll have without corruption..." He ran his hand down my hair and his voice continued calmly. "If the were to have any real impact on this world, they either made it by now or they would have been spared that is the job of the reaper."

"Every life has a purpose!" I pulled away and yelled at him through the tears. "Who are you to decide who has value!"

"We are Grim Reapers, Gods of Death. We were born to do this. We've seen more pain then you will ever have to endure. It is our job to evaluate the lives of humans and collect their souls, stoicly." Mr. Spears stepped out of the flames, holding a gardening shear with a long handle. "I understand your pain, it is one we witness every day."

I stayed where I was and gritted my teeth. The tears stung my eyes and I don't think I've ever cried that much.

Sirens sounded and grew louder. "Mistress," It was the first time Sebastian had spoke. "I suggest that we take our leave." I nodded and he picked me up and took me home.

The End.


Criss: Yeah... it's a little short, but we hope you liked it!
