Me: Hello again! Sorry for not being able to update yesterday :3 I had to make a report for our AP class tomorrow xD It's sort of a...class to understand the continent 'Asia' better :3 anyways...on with the story :D
I do not own Kuroshitsuji or any of it's characters.
You left your office and went to report to William. Though it was hard to forget what had happened earlier, you brought yourself to continue your duty as a death god, the decision you ended up hating.
I would rather live as a death god he'd hate profusely...a being that has slain...seen the deaths of many...What good would it bring if I mulled over the past?
You stopped in front of the door, breathing deeply before knocking.
"Come in." A voice called out from the other side. You turned the knob of the door, the bright white walls greeted you. It's cheerfulness mocking you.
"Hmm?" The man looked up from his papers. You closed the door behind you and bowed.
"Oh, _ your back. You could take the rest of the day off, we're not at all short handed at the moment." He looked back down at his papers, reading between the lines.
"I-I see. Then..." You reached for the knob.
"You're eyes are sore...were you crying?" William said in monotone, you turned in surprise, the man still had his eyes on the papers, not looking at you for even a second.
"And why does that even matter to you, Sir?" You looked down, making another grab for the knob.
"Just as I'd expect from a senior reaper, but you should know that though you are a death reaper, you are still the same as that of a human. You're cinematic record still lies within you." William stopped reading for a moment, looking up at you from a corner of his glasses.
"If you'll excuse me." You opened the door and head outside, planning on taking a breather.
The cinematic record within me...the one I planned to protect until the very end...the only thing that keeps a part of humanity within me...
Your mind drifts back to the time William found you, bleeding in front of the burning Phantomhive mansion.
Flashback...
"What are you?" You asked him, it was a mere whisper but he heard it and turned around.
"A death reaper."
"And what do you mean my death was...delayed?" You were extremely puzzled, the blood still pooled beneath you even still.
"The head of the death reapers seem to have taken interest in you."
The man had picked you up, it was not much of a challenge really, your pale body clung onto the man's coat. The pain slowly disappearing.
"Hold tight." You clutched at the man tighter. Holding onto him as if he was a lifeline, which in fact...is true.
He jumped from roof to roof, gliding through the night sky. Beneath you, you could hear the roaring of an engine. The man, who had called himself William dropped safely into a dark alley.
"Grell Sutcliffe, what have I told you from using that unauthorized death scythe?" He lifted his eyeglass, the light reflecting on it for a moment.
"Ah! Will!" The man, Grell, looked like he was just about to glomp the man. Your eyes fell to the corpse of a young boy, his clothes were ragged and dirty, he was pale and thin. For a moment you swore you could see films, like the ones where your pictures were taken.
"What...is that?" You asked, pointing a weak finger at the films. The slight argument stopped and the red head looked at you.
"Hmm? Will, y-you're two-timing me? Ah! The pain!" The red head gripped his chest. It sounded funny, rather than the cries of a lover.
"Those are cinematic records, reapers collect the souls of people who are scheduled to die, the person's death could either be cancelled, delayed, or carried out." You nodded, motioning him to continue with his explanation.
"Hey! Don't you ignore me!" Grell continued to rant.
"Which reminds me...you'll need to have yours taken too." William unsheathed his death scythe, pointing it to your chest.
"You'll live a new life, create new memories, leaving behind the you, that you have been before."
"No...don't..."
"There has never been a death reaper with a soul intact." His glasses glistened in the light.
"No!" You covered yourself with your arms, tears starting to fall.
"Tell me...why..." His eyes were of menacing yellow, as if he looks deep within your soul.
"Ciel...I don't want to forget Ciel...Right now, I'm sure he's scared, alone...I don't want him to feel alone in the world!" You cried, sobbing into the man's shoulders. William removed his death scythe and sighed.
"It can't be helped, I will talk to 'The father' about this." William supported your body with another hand.
"You really are soft when it comes to children aren't you Will?" The red head smiled evilly. Sets of pointy teeth revealed.
"Shut up, let's go." Will took off, jumping through the darkness.
"Hey, wait for me!" You heard Grell's voice, before closing your eyes. Giving in to the temptation of sleep.
End of flashback...
"This cinematic record of mine...the one I held dear...isn't it ironic that the one I held dear led me to such a state?" A breeze blew by, the roses outside swaying gently in the breeze.
Meanwhile...
The fire stopped, the trees have lost it's life, the demon dog now lost.
"Sebastian..."
"Yes, my lord?" Sebastian lost his usual smirk.
"Go and find her..." Ciel ordered, looking down at the parched ground.
"There are things that are impossible. Our contract may be important, yet the impossible cannot be done, even if I am a demon. She has entered the domain of the death gods, and only death gods hold the key." Sebastian had brought Ciel to his feet.
"I don't care...find a way, find 'her'" Ciel gave the butler a menacing look.
"And this was the person who had called her a liar? and told her to keep away? and after all that risk to save your life?" Sebastian's eyes glowed, a menacing smile tugging at his lips.
"Tch," Ciel put a hand to his forehead, letting the rain fall to his face.
"Young Master?"
"Find that red head. No matter what the cost. Find him, and bring him to me. That's an order." Ciel's eye glowed.
"Yes, my Lord."
I think it's a bit cliche :\ I don't know...tell me what you think :D I need your opinions, and thank you to khfan12 for giving me a marvelous idea for next chap :D
