'Blinks and stands there awkwardly' Hi... I hope you remember me... PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! I've been super busy with SAT studying like twice a week for two hours each session, prom came up and I was forced to go because this guy just had to ask me in front of my whole class and I couldn't say no and then I had to go shopping for a dress (luckily that's over and I don't like the guy) and then I had AP tests and my teachers like placed review after review after review to help us study for it! And then karate and... other shit. Oh and then my grandparents and other family came to my house one weekend for my bro's college graduation (so proud of him, he's a civil engineer now!) and now finals are in two weeks but... eh, not really gonna study. Oh I also had ACTs and one SAT in may and I get results from those soon and god, may and april was horrible for me.
BUT... I am fully back now and ready to finish this story and I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

Ciel thought of all those children he killed after forcing Sebastian to set that mansion on fire. He never heard their screams or cries of pain. If he let Kaoru stay here to never be found… Hikaru would scream and cry in pain. And Ciel would probably be there to witness it since Hikaru blamed him for Kaoru being missing.
Yet he wasn't supposed to be this sympathetic to everyone, he was supposed to be a cold-heartless demon. A demon… that was once a human… Is that why he still felt something towards saving Kaoru? He might have lost his human heart, but his mind still wouldn't let go of his human side, fully.
A giggle turned Ciel around to stare at Lizzie. She was smirking this time, pieces of her hair falling in front of her face. She didn't look innocent like she did in the park, she didn't look confused, she looked… evil. "What's wrong, Ciel?" She asked, rolling her tongue, emphasizing his name.
He stood there, deciding not to answer her, satisfy her. Instead, his hand reached slowly behind his back, suddenly remembering one thing that he always kept with him in case of emergencies. He just had to make sure Lizzie didn't notice, so he turned his body to the side slightly to hide his arm.
"Aw, is the mighty Ciel Phantomhive angry that he was tricked?" She teased, crossing her thin arms over her chest, mocking Ciel, her eyes narrowed slightly, similar to a cat. His fingers wrapped around the object behind him. Now he just had to wait for the perfect timing.
"Your butler is getting beat up," she said, eyes looked over Ciel's head to stare at the fighting demon and wraith. She was lying. Ciel ordered Sebastian to kill the wraith, and he will do just that. That's how Ciel knew Sebastian wasn't loosing, it's because he can't.
Still, Ciel said not a word. There was a grunt from behind him, and an object dragging on the ground. Taking a small peek behind his shoulder, Makai was trying to get up, but his wound was still heavily bleeding. A look of pain flashed across his face, nearly every inch of skin that showed was covered in a bright red color glistening under the lights.
He wasn't going to make it, Makai lost too much blood, but why was he trying to get up? Lizzie giggled again. "He'll survive," she said, reading Ciel's mind, contradicting him. But she had no proof. The girl walked forward, closer to her father. She stared down at him, a flash of pity crawling on her face. "Dad?"
Makai looked up from his crawling position. "Don't worry, Liz, dear," he told her.
Black shadows circled the room, crawling around everything they touched. The wraith was swinging his scythe around, trying to hit Sebastian with every chance he got. Or Ciel assumed it was a he. Sebastian was using a simple knife to block, but when he attacked with the utensil, the wraith flinched back in pain. The knife was blessed.
How Sebastian came about it was a mystery, but still, even after all of these years, Sebastian holding a blessed knife was still a surprise to Ciel. He shouldn't be astonished though, Sebastian has held other holy items before, and has been in churches.
No, Ciel couldn't focus on Sebastian right now, he had to perform this certain task first. Lizzie's back was to Ciel, and the demon boy walked closer, taking the object out from behind his back and pointing it at the girl. She only turned around when Ciel clicked the gun back, ready to shoot.
Her confident smirk was wiped off her face immediately as her eyes latched onto Ciel's gun. He forgot that before he left to search for the necromancer, that he grabbed it off of his desk. He should have used it much earlier, it would have been much help.
"Liz," Ciel heard Makai hesitantly say, "What's wrong?" He couldn't see what was going on. Good, this was going to be a great surprise to Makai.
"Where is the Lich?" Ciel questioned, moving the gun closer to Lizzie's body. She breathed heavily, her shoulders moving up and down. "Where is he?"
It was Lizzie's turn to stay silent. But not her father's. He was behind Lizzie and couldn't see the gun. "Lizzie, I need you to do something for me," he told her.
"What, Dad?" She asked, trying to act like normal. Ciel held a lot of power over Elizabeth at this moment, holding a gun near her chest. She was basically under her whim. It was human intuition to live, to follow directions when their lives are on the line.
It was quite interesting really, how a human will cling to life. Ciel never understood it at first when he, himself was a human. But now that he was a demon, Ciel was able to observe humans at a different view, a different level. It was amazing how much he has learned about humans from his many years living as an immortal being.
"Go home," he heard Makai whisper to his daughter, "Go and see Grandpa." Makai didn't know that Ciel had better hearing than a human. Makai didn't know Ciel could hear every word.
The moment Lizzie opened her mouth to protest most likely; Ciel pressed his finger on the trigger. A loud bang echoed in the room, but it didn't pause Sebastian in his fight. To Lizzie, the sound was a different story. She opened her mouth in both surprise and pain. Her eyes widened, pupils becoming huge. She looked down, a large spot of red staining her outfit. On instinct, her hands moved to cover the wound as she stepped back slightly.
"What the fuck?!" Makai yelled as he watched his daughter fall to the side. He paused in mid-word, staring at his daughter as she curled up on herself in a fetal position, gasping for air.
Ciel stared triumphantly as her dying body lowering the gun so it was pointed at the ground. The only one not totally affected by the gun shot was Kaoru who continued to type away on the keyboard.
"Bochaan," Ciel heard Sebastian call out, swiping the knife down one more time in a clean cut on the wraith. It withered, falling back slightly and dropping the scythe on the ground where it disappeared in a pool of shadows.
"I know where to go, Sebastian," Ciel informed his butler. "So hurry up." Sebastian needn't say anymore as he pounced, stabbing the wraith where it's heart should be. It didn't kill the creature, merely immobilized it as Sebastian left the knife inside the demon to keep it from moving.
Makai stared up at Ciel. He was accepting defeat, but he never realized that he told Ciel where the Lich was hiding. Ciel lifted the gun up once again, pointing it right at the necromancer. "When I do this, all of your spells will fall apart and become nothing. Whatever creature you command will gain their independence again. I'll let you live if you tell me where your partner is," Ciel offered.
The Necromancer just shook his head, keeping his lips closed shut. Ciel shrugged, it was going to be a win-win situation for him, anyways. So, Ciel cocked the gun, and shot all within a matter of seconds. A slight, unknown breeze surrounded the room. The Wraith in the room let out a deep sound that resembled a groan before it completely disappeared in its shadows, the knife that was stuck in its body clattering to the ground.
Anything else that the necromancer summoned followed the wraith. The only thing that the necromancer casted a spell on that didn't disappear was the only other person in the room: Kaoru. The boy blinked himself out of the trance. He looked extremely confused, his eyes darting around the room before locking on the two demons.
"Ciel, Sensei Michaelis?" He asked, trying to figure out where he was and what exactly was going on. His eyes left the demons again, landing on the two dead humans. "Wha-?!" He sounded more alarmed this time, jumping out of his seat and nearly tripping over.
"Let's go," Ciel ordered, looking over at Sebastian. The order though was for both the older demon and the human. The only problem was that the human wouldn't move from his spot, still staring at the two bodies. "Let's just leave him."
"Yes, My Lord," Sebastian replied, hand over heart as the two started to move closer to the door.
Kaoru seemed to snap out of his trance, shaking his head as he ran after Ciel and Sebastian. "W-wait for me! Please, Ciel!" Kaoru yelled for Ciel. The young demon stopped, looking at Kaoru. The boy was wobbly on his legs, his hands catching himself from falling by using the desk he was sitting at for a long time.
Ciel sighed. He was very annoyed, but for some reason, a voice in the back of his head told him to help Kaoru out. His demon heart told Ciel to leave the human behind, but his mind again, his mind that kept some human instinct, told Ciel to help the human. And for some reason, his mind was stronger than his heart.
"Sebastian, help the boy," Ciel commanded, turning away from Kaoru to not look at the carrot-haired boy.
"Yes, Bochaan," Sebastian replied like usual. His lips were turned up in a smirk, his pale face showing Ciel that the butler looked interested in why Ciel was forcing him to help out Kaoru. But the butler listened to his eternal master. He walked over to the boy and picked him up bridal style. Kaoru looked a little thankful though.
With a nod of his head, Ciel left the room officially. Sebastian followed behind, a tired Kaoru in his arms. Now all Ciel had to do was ignore the other children in the building, drop Kaoru off with his brother, find out where Lizzie used to live and quickly, defeat the Lich, and he would be done with Japan. Ciel was so close to going back home to England, so close he felt like he could reach out and touch it. Sadly though, it only felt that close, it never was that close.
