Chapter 35….
Tsuki no Ame Part 2
Alt: Baw now. Baw like you've never Bawed before. And please don't kill me in my sleep because it's not over yet.
"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven." Claude began counting down as the rain began, droplets fell upon the raven's skin, they felt so nice.
'Stay in this moment. Live a lifetime forever.' He repeated to himself. This was it, the insanity of his previous actions had brought him here…. 'Time is relative…stay in this perfect moment of peace…' He looked up
"SEBASTIAN, LIVE!" Ciel screamed, his voice echoed through the town and Sebastian suddenly turned towards it, it was faint, but he could hear it….
"3."
"I will…."
"2."
"I will live for you!" He screamed back with a smile on his face. 'Such a lie. I'm such a liar, always weaving tales and promise to that boy….that sweet hearted child…I'm so sorry.' He thought a mile a minute, silently scared of what would happen in the next few seconds. Angela respectfully bowed, as did Claude. William looked away.
"1."
Loud coughs and retching were heard by the three who were in early mourning of Sebastian, who grabbed his heart in aching pain and agony. His heart was beginning to detach itself from his body, blood was coming straight to his mouth and he was forced to vomit up ounce after ounce and gallon after gallon of blood.
"Even though I couldn't allow him to win….I do morning the loss of someone who can be called…a respectful demon. In some sense anyway." William whispered and looked away, Sebastian screams of pain and the sound of the splattering of his blood were sent through the area.
"That's what happens…when you forcefully extend your life.(1)" Angela whispered. Sebastian had forced himself to live on, forced his heart to keep beating in spite of the fact of the giant hole in the center of it and he knew it would have terrible consequences. Angela shut her eyes tightly as Sebastian gasped for breath. Madame Red watched in silence and slowly thought over the effects of what she just done…(2)
'Can't breathe…' Sebastian thought quietly. He did this for Bocchan, he wanted to save him, protect and keep him. 'It was reckless' he admitted to himself…'But worth it.' He tried. He tried hard. But in the end heavenly beings did always win. That was how things always worked out.
Shinigami came from the shadows, watching silently until Angela spoke.
"The man whom bested you all in all your attacks, lived for a time that far surpassed your own and sacrificed himself for his lover, though he was a demon, has fallen. Praise him." She bowed her head in a final parting.
'Goodbye Samael.'
'Eh…we didn't like you but this is respectable.'
'Banzai.' The shinigami in the background, those whom he had 'killed' gave their farewells, but soon became much more organized in a large circle around the demon's dying body saying in chorus.
'Farewell, Samael-Sama.' With a salute and a removal of glasses while bowed.
Sebastian faintly heard them, the black heart in his chest cutting itself off from all bodily organs and flesh. His lungs shutting down…the feeling of complete loss of life slowly came over him. But he didn't feel the agony any more once he was unable to breathe, pain was now a mystery to him as he leaned back slowly from his position, now lying in the middle of the circle.
'It's strange…' He could feel death creeping up on his slowly…'So this was the feeling I felt earlier….my death was coming.' His heart slowed down to a near stopped pace and he slipped into unconsciousness.
"So tell me William, now do you reap his soul?" Claude placed a replacement pair of glasses he had hidden in his back pocket on and returned to his human form, gracefully landing on both feet.
"What soul?" William asked, though already knowing what he was talking about. The shinigami slickly smiled as the demon walked away. 'This damned being actually is someone I might be able to tolerate.'
Madame Red stepped forward to check Sebastian's body, dealing with the light rain, to ensure that he was dead. She had no idea how demonic beings bodies worked but she checked his pulse and heartbeat. Nothing. Checked his eyes, no sign of life. She double checked and triple checked, and after she was done with her findings and discoveries she nodded and turned towards Angela with a small smile on her face.
"He's dead."
"Alright." Angela nodded. "We should dispose of the body and then deal with the London Police and British Army." She walked back into the house and picked up Alois, beginning to mend his wounds with her heavenly aura.
"I agree." Madame Red simply said and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry about disposal of the body, ladies. Me and the Shinigami will have to make sure of Sebastian's death only after we are sure will we dispose of the body ourselves." William said in a proud tone. Madame Red's eyes narrowed at him, but she left the topic alone…
'I can only hope.' She thought.
Back near the lake…
Ciel screamed and grabbed his eye, he could feel something slipping away from him. He couldn't tell what but it hurt like hell, he could only think about Sebastian over and over again while Grell watched from the sidelines, saddened.
"Sebastian…did something only an idiot would do." He shook his head in disappointment. "He forced himself to stay alive with increased strength and speed at the cost of his body betraying him twice as much as it would've after the cross hit him. The idiot…" He pulled out a red umbrella and didn't even realize he was talking to himself.
"He…he took that hit for me…." Ciel gasped and grabbed is heart, the feeling of loss hurt him so bad…the feeling of Sebastian's sweet voice and loving care slowly was torn away from him, the contract seal on his left eye was slowly fading away to reveal Ciel's normal eye. Ciel began to cry and whispered his lover's name over and over again in his mind, begging him to come back to him and stay by his side forever.
"He didn't even take fatal damage either…he could've lived through that." Grell complained, ignoring the pained and heartbroken Ciel who was truly trying his best to compose himself…but ending up vomiting and gasping for breath right next to the lake. He looked around, no police, no army. There weren't even any dead bodies around.
'It's relaxed….'He sighed and looked at his reflection in the lake, his previously marked eye now matched the opposite eye, a gorgeous light blue.
"Hello there." The Undertaker emerged from the shadows with a large grin on his face, but the happy mood turned it into a confused frown. "What's up?"
Ciel immediately got up and began hitting the Undertaker's chest, the highest point he could reach on the gray haired grim reaper. "You moron! Where did you go?"
"Hmm? Why does that matter?"
"Se-Sebastian's….he's…"
"Probably dead." Grell finished for him in a bored voice. His gloved fingers wrapped red hair around themselves as a half way fun little game for the red head.
"Oh? That's too bad." Undertaker said in a just as bored voice.
"You…it's your fault!" The young earl began punching the Undertakers chest in a fluffy of hits that did absolutely nothing, the Undertaker simply watching the boy's emotional reaction.
"Lemme see your eye." The Undertaker said with a bit of interest. Ciel looked up at hit, showing him his now normal eye that blazed in absolute anger. "Hmmm…okay. Well we've gotta go to a church service now."
"What? Are you kidding me now?" The child screamed at him, his angriest glare and voice directed at the gray haired man who took no responsibility after suddenly leaving him. "Didn't you promise to help us? Instead now Sebastian is dead!"
"Yup. He's dead. We've gotta go to church now." The Undertaker smiled to Grell who gave him a smile in return.
"Fuck that!" The boy screamed in anger and stomped off, rainwater splashing under his feet and slowly drenching him. 'I'm going to get my revenge on ALL of you for this.' He thought, rounding a corner huffing in rage and loss. He lost Sebastian….he resisted the urge to cry and took big deep breaths. 'Sebastian wouldn't want me to cry like this….I can tell.' He rounded another corner and realized something. 'Damn it….'
