Hi hi!

Look at that, it's the end. It only took, what, half the year? Like damn.

Amy: My story took longer.

Erin: One word for that. Hiatus.

Amy: My story had more chapters.

Erin: More crap for people to deal with.

Amy:...You know what, fuck it. I don't care anymore. After this, I won't have to deal with you. Your stories over, you're out of the picture, so after this, I'll never see you again.

Lilith: That's what you believed about a lot of us; and look. We're still here.

Tamaki: not to mention me!

Amy: Okay, I know for sure that, after this, unless Crimson goes back to Ouran, I won't be seeing anymore of you.

Lilith: I don't know about you, but I'd like to move on.

Me: Agreed. My finger is itching to click that "Complete" button.

ONWARDS!

"Well, aren't you an interesting case?"

Erin's eyes whipped opened, only to close them again, as the intense bright lights invaded her eyes. Too bright, it was much too bright.

"Ha, and a half demon at that. Your records aren't looking too good."

She hissed at the voice, before forcing her eyes open again. Before her, a girl sat on what looked like a…scythe?

Her defenses rose, as she eyed this odd-looking girl. As if the dark red dress shirt and black dress-pants suspenders weren't odd enough, she also had heels. She just sat on the handle of her scythe, which seemed to float, as she looking into Erin's soul, leaning forth with her palm, her knee holding up her elbow. In her other hand, she held out a book, "So…Birth name…Anastasia Anna Charlotte Ashford. Such a mouthful."

"You didn't have to say it all." Erin spat right back out, giving her a look. Scythe, cold red dead eyes, she didn't like her, "Now then, you wanna explain?"

"Explain what?"

"Oh, I don't know; where the hell I am would be nice!" Erin scoffed, looking around. Nothing but white.

"Some people call this place Purgatory," The girl said, before pulling out a pair of reading glasses from her shirt pocket, looking over the book she was holding, before an amused eyebrow rose, "Others refer to it as limbo. Both are correct, in a way; this is a place between life and death. Closer to death, but between none the less."

"…Huh." Erin sighed, as she spun around, "I kinda expected…More?"

The girl only shrugged, before folding the ear of her book, closing it before looking Erin in the eye, "You've had an…interesting life, Erin. I've seen many lives, but by far, yours is like a captivating story, one that keeps someone on their toes all through to the end. Believe it or not; you should have died many times over now, but every time, you've had someone to save you."

Erin nodded, "…So?"

"So I don't know what to do." The girl sighed, as she read on, "For once in a very long time, I'm…thinking it over."

"…Okay?" Erin muttered, still not entirely understanding.

"The only reason I have yet to decide what to do with you is because you, unlike so many of these people, are…interesting."

"I'm sure that there are others like me." Erin grinned, only to later shake her head. She wasn't…Whatever this chick thought she was, but she was sure that she must have seen other people that were either similar or better then Erin could ever be.

"Believe it or not, I've yet to see a person avoid death on so many occasions." Those cold red eyes conveyed nothing as she spoke, before nodding, "So, with that said, I am willing to strike a bargain. Let's make a deal."

Erin couldn't help but be suddenly interested, "I'm listening."

"I'm not suppose to bend the rules, especially when you are fated to die, but I will admit; I'd like to see you back here, when your book is finished." The girl smirked, before extending her hand, "I'll give you more time, and who knows? With that demon blood, we might not ever cross paths again. But, all I ask is that you do not say anything about this. My…superior is already breathing down my neck, but it's not like I abide by anyone's rules."

Erin gave her outstretched hand a look, "I'm not too sure that I like this. What's the catch?"

"On your end? Little to nothing." The girl insisted, her hand still out, "I will have to do a bit of work, too make sure that you live on without my…operator knowing, but still, I'm willing to put a spin on reality. And with the way your book goes, you don't mind it much either; do you?"

Erin couldn't help but grin, as she shook her hand, "You've got yourself a deal."

The girl nodded, as she faded into white, "Good luck with recovery."

Erin gave her a look, "Hold up, what-?"

When Miu opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was her hand. Well, it wasn't exactly her hand she watched, rather, it was the hand that was holding hers.

Looking to her side, she smiled slightly, when she spotted Kyoya sitting in a chair next to her, his lead on her cot, as he slept soundlessly.

More then a little confused, she racked her brain for memories, or on how she'd managed to show up in a place like this, only to then notice the dull throb in her leg.

Confused, she pulled herself up, only to freeze, as her grip on her hand tightened. Before she could do much else, she watched as Kyoya's eyes snapped open, only to stare up at her lovingly, "Good morning, darling."

"H-h-hi." Miu murmured, still confused with the pain in her leg.

Following her gaze, Kyoya's eye narrowed, "How much do you remember, Miu?"

Miu shook her head, drawing a blank. She was about to say it too, when she noticed it.

Next to the bed, on the nightstand, many bloody red bandages laid there. It triggered something in her head, as the hospital room went from sterling white to concrete grey. Instead of a bed, she sat on the floor, hands shackled to the wall behind her.

Miu shook her head, blinking her eyes until the white boring walls came back. Better then a concrete floor stained with red, "I…I remember when they…had me."

Kyoya nodded, before sitting down next to her, holding her in a side hug, "You're safe now."

"I was so s-s-scared." Miu whimpered, curling up into his side, eyes wide. She could still feel what they did just by thinking of what happened.

"It won't happen again, ever." Kyoya insisted, allowing Miu to crawl into his chest, as he leaned back onto the cot to make it easier on her, "I promise that."

Miu could only nod, trying to make herself comfortable, only to have the pain pulse in her leg. When she whimpered, Kyoya looked up, confused, before nodding, "What do you remember…after that?"

Miu nodded, "I…I remember them t-taking me t-to t-t-t-the dorms, then…Then Erin m-made us l-leave when things g-got bad…the r-r-rest of it i-is f-fuzzy."

Kyoya nodded, before sighing. He couldn't help but feel a bit thankful that she forgot. But, in a way, how do you explain that your beloved killed someone?

"Kyoya?"

"Hmm?"

"W-what's wrong with m-m-my leg?"

"It…took a lot of damage." Kyoya sighed, averting what had happened. But, for as hard as he tried, he couldn't avoid telling her what had happened to her leg, "You were shot."

Miu's eyes widened, as she stared at her leg from under the blanket, "…R-really?"

"I wouldn't lie to you."

Miu nodded, before trying to move her legs. Just as she had expected, one leg jolted up her spine with pain, "Oww."

Kyoya scowled, lightly slapping her arm, "Don't do that; the nurses say that it'll take a while for you to walk again."

Miu sighed, only to lay back down, sighing. It could have been worse, right?

"Mr. Ootori?"

Kyoya sighed, gently pushing Miu off of him, as he rose, "What do you need, doctor Chinatsu?"

"It's the…special patient."

To this, Kyoya's eyes widened, as he walked out of the room, out of Miu's hearing range, "What about her?" He asked, before following the doctor to a secluded area.

"Well, doctor Kimyouna just did a scan on her."

"Yes, the new neuro surgeon. He did the brain scan I asked for?"

"Yes, he did, and what he found was amazing. After the body was pronounced dead, it would appear as if her brain is still working."

Kyoya's eyebrow rose, "Really?"

"Yes, it's extraordinary! Truly a work of God, a miracle!"

"I wouldn't say that so soon, if I were you." Kyoya insisted, before looking around, "In fact, I would like it if you reported the body as dead."

Doctor Chinatsu's eyes widened, "B-but, Mr. Ootori-."

"Did I say to question me?" Kyoya asked, as the doctor shook her head, "No? Good. Now, I want the paperwork done; the body of the girl was pronounced dead. I will deal with the rest."

Not wanting to be fired, the doctor nodded, before walking off. Kyoya sighed, only to rub his forehead. A good half hour they got Miu here, they had rushed in a girl, with wisteria hair, ripped clothes and skin, along with a lot of blood.

And now, to follow through with the deal.

He gave the shifting shadow behind him a look, "She is free for you to do as you please. Will you keep your side of the bargain up?"

The shadow nodded, before vanishing into the ground, leaving Kyoya feeling alone. He sighed, pushing up his glasses, before heading back to Miu's room.

Erin groaned, her head pulsing, as she opened her eyes.

She nearly panicked when everything was white, but calmed down when she noticed the cot under her, as well as the bandages over the right side of her face, as fell as her neck, arms, legs; basically everywhere but the left side of her face.

She could barely move with how tight the bandages were, but other then that, she felt…fine?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, pain jolted up her spine, as she attempted to move. Not only did it get her no where, now she had an itch she couldn't reach.

Great.

"Someone looks like they're living it up."

While Erin's heart fluttered, a scowl crossed her face, as she looked over to where the voice came from "I wouldn't be here if SOMEONE had listened when I said 'hurry the fuck up and cut the lines'."

"Forgive me for not wanting to kill you." Sebastian chuckled, before sitting down next to her. Judging from the warm encasing her hand, he was holding her hand within his own, "…You were pronounced dead. I thought that I didn't get you here fast enough."

"Well, obviously I did." Erin grinned, noticing how much he seemed to deflate, "…Umm, Sebs?"

"…Do you ever wonder why I brought you back as a demon?" Sebastian questioned quietly.

"Because the world wasn't ready to let go of me." Erin snickered.

"Because I wasn't ready to let go of you." Sebastian murmured, staring at her hand, "As a demon, you never really notice time fly by, simply because you don't affect the world and the world doesn't affect you. But, when you find something to actually live for…You do all you can to make the moment last."

"I had the idea in my head for a while, to make you a demon. To have you stand at my side, till the end of time; but when you first…died, I wasn't ready to accept that you were gone. I wasn't ready then, and I am not ready now."

"Aww, does Sebs worry about me?" Erin teased.

"…Do not tell the young master, but I do have the ability to be terrified." Sebastian muttered, before chuckling, "Your hands are so small."

"Your hands might just be freakishly big." Erin snapped right back.

Sebastian hummed, "Tell me, with such small hands, how were you able to make such an impact in life?"

"Cause death is not a fate I'll ever get accepted by." Erin grinned, before looking around, "…Sebs?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you help me get this stuff off? At least the crap on my face?"

Sebastian winced at the request, "I don't think your body is fully healed yet, darling."

"Come on, at least the ones on my face?" Erin asked, "I need to make sure those damn sins didn't fuck up my face too much."

Last time he saw it, those seven red lines that went from her heart up to her hair line were still there, but now there was also a slit across her throat. Regardless, he nodded, "Stay still, I'll take them off."

"Thanks babe." Erin giggled, raising her head so Sebastian could unwrap the white bandages. Once they were off, Erin opened her right eye, finding little to no resistance, "Not as bad as I thought it would be."

Sebastian, on the other hand, cringed just a bit. The red lines on her face had faded, but were still there. As for her neck, a red irritated line was cut, right across her neck, making her look like she'd jumped out of a Halloween magazine.

Erin noticed his expression and frowned, "Is it that bad?"

"It…is a change." Sebastian admitted, as he recovered from his shock, before a small smile crossed his face, "Sure does give you a 'bad girl' look."

"Great. So, when I get back, I'll have even more street cred." Erin grinned, before laying back down on the cot, "…Sebs?"

"Hmm?"

"What's going to happen now?"

"I'll have to ask the young lord, after we can remove you from this dreadful place. There is too much false hope in a place of death."

"…With that said…Where is Ciel?"

"…I'll be right back, Erin…"

"My Queen!"

Seated at a table in her garden, Queen Victoria looked up, "Yes, Matilda?"

"A letter just came in, from the Earl Phantomhive!"

The queen nodded, retrieving the letter from the maid, before giving her a look, "Matilda, a bit of privacy, if you'd please?"

Matilda nodded, bowing, before skipping off. Once she was gone, the queen opened up the letter:

To her royal highness, Queen Victoria,

The issue of Ouran academy has been resolved. The killer was a young girl by the name of Zonami Kiken Kikimano, with other outside help. The case happens to have started years ago, the first victim being female Eranepi Himura. While no bodies other then the ones you know of and the recent ones, of which I have sent names, there are no other carcasses to speak of that are from London.

It would seem as if, to cover her tracks, she also went after other Japanese students. The body count has come to a rather towering number of 17, which increases to 38 if you are to include the bodies of the Japanese students, and 42 if you include staff members and teachers.

Truly this is a horrific event, so I do recommend that we send what we can to console the people and the families of the incident. As for myself, I will be returning to London as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Ciel Phantomhive

Queen Victoria sighed, before placing the letter to the side. She then looked out to the garden, before picking up a pure white rose, "…The young Earl Phantomhive." Queen Victoria sighed, before tossing the flower to the wind, watching as the air caught it, before flying it off.

"He's still only such a fragile little boy." She sighed, as she leaned back into the chair, "He tries to be so strong, stern, formal; but in the end…Well, it is not my right to say."

The last week had been rough. Erin, Ciel and Sebastian spent most of their time hiding out in the sewer pipes as they waited out the storm and flurry of news coverage.

Lucy, who had vanished during the time in the hospital, would come in at least three times a day, relaying messages, the latest updates the media has come to, and food.

The first time Lucy came by, she nearly had a heart attack, when she first laid eyes on Erin's face. In anything, after the time spend in the hospital (as a dead body, before Sebastian managed to get her out thanks to a certain Ootori)

"Some people think it was aliens." Lucy giggled as she sat at the table, pouring herself a cup of tea, as she looked over the cards she had.

"How the hell does that explain anything?" Erin muttered, only to give Ciel a confused look, "What we playing again?"

"For the thousandth time, we're playing Blackjack." Ciel sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"But we don't have the checker pieces."

Ciel fumed where he sat, as Erin cackled, "You know I'm just screwing with ya, right, Seal? I'm not that much of an idiot!"

Ciel blinked, "…You know how to play Blackjack?"

"What have we been playing for the last half hour?" Erin grinned, before looking around the table, "I don't have the three of hearts you wanted, but I don't see the Go Fish pile either-."

With one last irritated growl, Ciel threw his cards to the table, "I'll be back later." He growled, before standing up, walking out of the are.

Once he was gone, Erin cackled, "Works every time."

"You think he'd realize it by now." Lucy couldn't help but giggle, before sighing, "Do you think that London will be the same?"

"When we go back?" Erin asked, rubbing the back of her head, "Well, I doubt that much changed; it'll be the little things that get to us first. Like, I don't know, a civil war."

"That is NOT a small thing." Lucy chided, only to sigh, "I'll have to find a job if I want to ever think about affording a ticket back to London."

Erin's eyebrow rose, only to chuckle, "Seal didn't tell you? He bought you a ticket too!"

"Really?" Lucy asked, only to cringe, "How much to I owe him?"

"Let me rephrase; he took the money out of what would be my 'paycheck' to buy your ticket."

"…How much do I owe you?"

"Don't sweat it." Erin grinned, only to stop, looking at her with a dead serious expression, "Unless you're good at smuggling opium."

Lucy's eyes widened, only for her to nod, catching onto the joke, "They didn't call me 'the Frenzy Master' for no reason."

"Well, in that case, we could use that too." Erin dragged on, before sighing, leaning back into her chair, "Honestly, I can't wait to leave. Don't get me wrong, Japan is a real nice place, but I miss my bed. I'd like to go back to a place where I know I wont wake up in a sewer, or be on the run."

Lucy gave her a look, "Says the gang lord."

"Being on the run in London is one thing, being on the run in Japan is a whole other story." Erin reasoned, "In London, I understand the system. I know the loopholes, who to talk to, who to avoid. Here, I can barely understand the language!"

"You're not wrong." Lucy grinned, "I wouldn't mind knowing what the locals were saying behind my back."

"Agreed." Erin grinned, before picking her cap up from the table, throwing it on her head with a wide grin, "I can't wait to go."

"Why do you have to go!?"

Erin huffed, throwing her arms to the side. She'd been trying to pry off Miu's cousin for a good ten minutes now, and he's yet to let go.

They stood at the peer, waiting for the ship to London to come in. But, till then, she could manage to be trapped in Tamaki's embrace for a little while longer.

Off to the side, Kyoya had a gentle yet firm grip on Miu's hand, as she walked/wobbled up to Erin, a weak and tired smile on her face, "We w-will m-m-miss y-you."

"I won't." Kyoya grumbled, only to be elbowed by Miu, "I'm only telling the truth."

"Don't worry, I wasn't to fond of you either." Ciel sighed, before looking around, "…Odd."

"What is it, young lord?" Sebastian asked.

"I'd assume that we'd be followed once we left. It's odd; we are technically on the run." Ciel murmured.

"One can do a lot when they are the son of the man who owns Japan's police force." Kyoya winked knowingly.

"You're just one hell of an Ouran student." Erin grinned, Tamaki finally letting go, before ruffling Kyoya's hair, "I might miss you just a bit, glasses."

"Y-you will w-write, right?" Miu asked, as she mainly leaned on Kyoya, trying to keep pressure off of her messed up leg.

"It'll be tough, but I'll try." Erin insisted, watching Tamaki dash off to woo another lady, before holding her finger up. She shoved her hand into her jacket pocket, searching them for a bit, before pulling out a piece of paper, "Here's my gang's phone's number. Do me a favor and don't give this out; it's already going to be hell to deal with when all the boys use the same phone. SO, if you would please keep the number out of the official's hands; that would help a lot."

Miu smiled, taking the number, before shoving it into her pocket, "I w-won't."

Ciel scowled slightly, holding the commoner's cap (as Tamaki called it) over his face, "I do wish this boat would hurry up."

"I'm going to miss Japan." Lucy sighed, as she looked up to the tall buildings, "This place is like a second home to me."

"It's like a second cell to me." Erin grinned, only to have Ciel hit her in the back of the head, "Why?"

"Don't say stuff like that in another country. We'll get arrested before we can leave; not to mention you're technically wanted." Ciel pointed out, sighing.

"How do you know that they want me?" Erin asked.

"they found your blood samples

"I can't wait to go back to see London's Buckingham Palace." Lucy sighed.

"I can't wait to go back to swindling, stealing, killing and hustling!"

All of them gave her a look, even Sebastian managed to give her that deadpanned expression, to which Erin grinned, "Just kidding! Or am I? You'll never know!"

"…Ciel, p-please do me a f-favor?"

"What?"

"Make sure you take care of Erin."

"That's Sebastian's problem."

"For as long as I'm alive, I'm the world's problem." Erin chuckled, only to have Sebastian's arm wrap around her waist, "…I guess I don't mind being your problem."

Miu cooed from where she stood, only for Erin to go from soft to scoffing, "Oh please, stop acting like I've got a soul."

"But y-you're being c-cute!" Miu giggled, hiding from Erin's glare behind Kyoya, while Sebastian lightly tapped her on the head.

"She isn't lying." Sebastian chuckled, as Erin pouted.

"I'm use to the whole me-against-the-world stuff, but why my soul mate does the same? Not cool." Erin half pouted half grinned, as she put emphasis into two main words.

"…I know you mean well by calling me that, but it has the same effect as calling a bunny ugly."

"You called me cute." Erin shrugged, "Same effect."

"You'll be the death of me."

"I plan to be."

"Will you two stop flirting?" Ciel moaned, as a loud horn filled the sky, "The boat is here."

"Oh yay; ocean travel." Erin gagged, "I so do love the feeling of sea sickness."

Miu grinned, before pushing off of Kyoya. Erin barely had the time to brace herself, as Miu half tackled half hugged Erin, "…Thank you."

"I didn't give you anything, unless you're talking about my number." Erin beamed, "And last I checked, I'm not famous in that way."

"I'm not t-talking about that." Miu said, before pulling back slightly, just enough for Erin to see the shorter girl's grin, "Thank you for making me your friend."

"Thank you for putting put with my shit." Erin shot right back.

Miu shook her head, "No, I mean it. I…don't have a l-lot of people t-that are friends with me because of…well, me. I'd like to thank you f-for that; giving me a c-chance."

"Aww, stop it; you're gonna make me cry." Erin mumbled, before playfully pushing Miu away, right back into Kyoya's arms.

She then pointed at Kyoya, "Now, you take good care of her; or I WILL find you, Ootori."

"I'd expect nothing less from you." He murmured, watching as Ciel and Sebastian got onto the boat, "But, believe me when I say that I will keep her safe."

Erin nodded, as she slowly walked backwards to the boat, "Remember, if you learn anything from me; God must love stupid people since he made so damn much."

"Erin, stop trying to stall and get onto the boat."

"Damn." Erin muttered, before turning around. One step, once she moved forward, she'd be on her way home, right back to where everything made decent sense. She won't lie, she'd miss the people and the sights, and it wasn't like she'd be able to pop in and out when she wants.

Erin shook her head, as she took the step forth, preparing herself for both London and the sea sickness that was sure to follow.

And with that said, we're done!

Erin: I can't be the only one that let out a huge sigh of relief, right?

Amy: Now you have no reason to act like you're cool tough shit.

Lilith: I now have a reason to stop listening to you two.

Azazel: I'm honestly not too big of an OC compared to all of you, so I don't need to deal with much either way.

Miu: I'm r-really tired. C-can I go home?

Me: Go right ahead.

Miu: *leaves*

Lilith: I'd like to leave as well.

Me: Can't really stop you now, can I?

Lilith: *melts into her shadows*

Azazel: I'll do the same. Arceus isn't going to like me hanging out here when I should be dealing with this whole new region.

Me: Just go.

Azazel: *Leaves*

Erin: That just leaves you and me.

Amy: Oh joy, I love being stuck with you.

Erin: I love being stuck with your ego.

Amy: The only thing bigger then my ego is yours, I don't know where to begin with that shit.

Erin: If I may ask; does your ass get jealous of the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth?

Amy: It would be, but knowing that a shout like you came from somewhere, I think we'll be fine.

Erin: You know what, I don't need to deal with this. I'm done here, at least for now. I can move on to Broadway, become a real actor.

Amy: Yes; fire-proof actors are pretty hard to come by.

Erin: Ever tried to drown yourself?

Amy: Ever tried to light yourself at the stake, you witch?

Erin: I'm done here; I've got a gang to check on, a tiger to feed, and a spoiled brat to take care of.

Ciel: What did you just call me?

Erin: Umm, I said a "loyal cat"! You know, like the ones that Sebs likes!

Ciel: You're bad at lying on the spot.

Erin: And you're bad at tying your shoe laces. We all have our faults, yes?

Ciel:...Whatever. Sebastian will only be willing to wait so long for you.

Erin: He's told me before; and I don't think that you're willing to wait for the same amount of time he is.

Ciel:...Just get to the carriage.

Erin: I'll follow you out.

Ciel: *Leaves*

Erin: Right before I go; I'd like to say one last thing.

Me: Go right ahead.

Erin:...CHIPS OUT FOR HARAMBE, CHIPS OUT FOR HARAMBE!

Amy: Get the fuck out.

Erin: *Leaves*

Me:...Well...that's it.

Yep, this fic is done, finished, ended, set, complete, spent, you get the point.

I hope you guys have enjoyed the ride, but this is where you get the hell off. After half of a year, this story has finally come to a close that I hope you guys are more then happy with.

Honestly, I feel like I could have done better with this story. Like a lot of my other stores, they start out okay, and then it kinda loses its flare on the ride down, but hey, I'm not you guys.

So, if you could for this last review, I'd like you guys to tell me how I did. What was the best? What was the worse? Should I think about picking up Ouran and Black butler again in the future, and if so, should I do a sort of add on extra of a whole new different plot with a whole new different cast?

Amy: Please ask Crimson for my sequel. I'm still waiting for the second story I was promised a while ago!

Me: I'm getting to it. But, with that said, it's been a great ride, and I'll see you next story.

Till then, bai bai!
