Thank you all for the views and reviews! For now, this is the last chapter. The bonus chapters and the one shot will be coming soon. I'll definitely write more Black Butler fanfics like these. But this story is completed after this chapter. Slight SebastianxCiel in this chapter, you have been warned. Enjoy!

Sebastian Michaelis

Chapter 8

Sebastian had asked for a pair of crutches, but his master had ordered Sebastian to stay put for at least two days after the incident. Now, five days after the fight, Sebastian was hobbling through the house on his brand new crutches, doing what he could, which wasn't that much, since he had to hold his crutches, and so he couldn't dress the Young Master or bring food upstairs. All he did was his duty in the butler's room, and anything else he could do sitting. He did cook, with the help of Bard, who was supporting him if there was no countertop to lean on. Apart from that, Tanaka had to do the rest of his job, which also included cleaning up the mess the other servants left. Sebastian felt extremely bad for Tanaka, and he was extremely eager to get back to work again. It was incredibly annoying for him to be that limited, he felt as if he was in a cage, and even though his leg would be completely healed within one to two weeks, for Sebastian it felt as if it was taking an entire century. Although he couldn't deny that he needed to rest. Everyone in the household insisted that he rested a lot and worked as little as possible, and Sebastian couldn't deny that it was a relief to let his painful leg rest after another day of work.

Sebastian was reading a book on his bed. It was around 00.30 AM and he needed some way of entertaining himself while those humans were asleep. He could sleep and feel tired, but he simply chose not to. It was pretty chilly in the room, but it didn't really bother Sebastian that much. He was very intrigued by the book he was reading. He really liked the way it was written, although he still found the plot a little dull.

Someone knocked three times. Sebastian quickly put the bookmark between the pages of the book and said: 'Come in!' The person opened the door. It was his Young Master, in his pyjamas. Sebastian grinned at the sight of the little boy in his white night shirt, one hand on the doorknob. It was a moment like this he could really see why he had chosen to serve Ciel. His soul was so dark, so drenched with pure hatred and fury, so cold and yet warm, but it were moments like this when you could see his softer side. The sweet boy from the past had disappeared. But that didn't mean his master didn't know love or kindness. He simply lacked innocence. That was what made him so special for such a young soul.

'My lord, is something wrong?' Sebastian asked.

'Sebastian,' Ciel said, walking towards his bed. 'I've been thinking about what happened a lot. There are some parts about this whole case that are bothering me a little. I need some answers. From a demon.' Ciel sat down in the chair next to his bed.

'Well, I was wondering,' the Earl started, 'why did Amymone die? I mean, you survived a similar blow from Grell.'

'Ah,' Sebastian sighed. He could have seen this question coming. 'She said she didn't want to live in this world, didn't she? Well, she probably just chose not to heal herself in that case. It's as easy as that, and it's the only way I can answer your question until further investigation. A reason for a demon for not wanting to live any longer is being attached to something or someone and then losing it, just like humans. Maybe she was very attached to mister Doubleday. Or it could have been the exact opposite. She hated him so much that she didn't want to see any humans if she could avoid it. I guess we'll never know.' It was quiet once again. Ciel appeared to be debating with himself whether he should ask another question or not. Eventually he decided to interrogate Sebastian a bit more.

'She was stronger…because of the souls she ate,' Ciel said. 'If you would eat souls, would you get stronger?'

'Ah,' Sebastian sighed. 'I wish it was as simple as that. No, let me explain. Some demons drain energy from their souls before eating them. I don't find it very appetizing, it's like sucking your food, spitting it out just to eat it again, and it decreases the taste of the soul. Miss Kerrigan had apparently drained energy from her victims. But it is a temporarily boost and afterwards the energy you used wishes to "recharge" itself and drains your own energy until it's full again. So, in fact, you only borrow the strength and energy of your future self.'

'Ah,' Ciel seemed to understand. 'I didn't know you could do that.'

'I don't wish to, my lord. I find it disgusting.'

'So you don't have to eat souls between now and…the end?' Sebastian realized this was probably a question that had been bothering Ciel ever since the incident, if not earlier.. Sebastian smiled at his master, thinking how incredibly complex his soul was. For someone like him, to care about such a subject…humans could never understand it properly.

Sebastian saw his master shiver. It was getting very cold in the room, and Ciel was only in his thin nightwear. Fast as the one hell of a butler he was, he grabbed Ciel from the chair. Within a second, the cold boy was on his warm chest, in the embrace of the Akuma. Ciel didn't struggle, on the contrary; he crawled closer to his butler, enjoying the warmth.

'No, Bocchan,' Sebastian responded. 'No, I don't.' Ciel exhaled and Sebastian could feel his warm breath against his chest. His Young Master closed his eyes, and fell asleep in his embrace.

I hope this was a good chapter. I'm not sure. I think I did a pretty well job at describing how bored Sebastian must've been, and how limited he felt (cause that's how I'd feel, hyperactive me, mwuhaha).

I'd like to thank all of you for reading and reviewing. Please tell me what you did and what you didn't like about this whole story. I really enjoyed writing it, but your kind reviews made me want to write more and upload more. I'm glad that I make people happy with my stories, apart from myself (because writing is more or less my drug).

There will be more coming up very very soon, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm brainstorming so much lately! Definitely expect more. Oh, and the sickfic is coming along pretty well, just have a little writer's block, but that will most likely disappear in a couple of hours. Thank you all for reading and please give me your opinion! Love you all and so long!
