Hello again! Are you surprised I got it up so fast? You didn't have to wait a week or more for it. It's not because I got less lazy. It's because I wrote this one before I wrote the other one! I was so excited for this chapter and wanted to write it as soon as I could. I originally hand wrote this chapter out! It was five pages long.

I know that this chapter will bring some tears so be equipped with tissues!

Sebastian: Madam Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: I'm liking this "Madam" thing. For real. But no, I don't own them.

WARNING: SOMEWHAT OOC CIEL AND SEBASTIAN AHEAD!

I also now have links on my profile to my personal Facebook, DeviantART, Youtube, Twitter, and a couple other pages. Friend me if you want! :D

Mating Season

The future is dead

Sebastian's POV

Ciel insisted for me to rest. I didn't feel tired on the account that demons don't require sleep. I always felt a sense of laziness whenever I slept. The Phantomhive butler doesn't have time to sleep because of the busy schedule the job requires. And yet, he demands me to anyway. I walked into my room and sat down on my rarely used bed with a sigh. Even though I didn't want to, the young master made it an order; therefore I must do as he says.

I loosened my tie and laid down on my bed. I couldn't remember the last time I had slept. I sighed and closed my eyes. Soon enough, I drifted into unconsciousness.

After what seemed to be no more than 10 minutes, I awoke and sat up in my bed. I blinked a few times and wondered if sleep really went by that fast.

"Hey stranger." A voice called out.

I looked around and saw a familiar figure. The face was recognizable and the voice sounded familiar. It couldn't be…

"Ciel?" I asked unsurely.

The young man smiled before me, "It's good to see you again, Sebastian."

I was in disbelief at what I was seeing, "So it is you?"

Ciel chuckled, "Yes it is me. And I thought demons were smart."

He looked generally the same. Except he had a more toned body and face. His hair had gotten longer as I noticed it was resting on his shoulders. Much to my surprise, he looked as if he had grown a few inches. By what he was seeing, he could have been at least twenty.

"Am I dreaming?" I whispered.

"No." Ciel answered, "You are just having a vision. Demons don't have dreams or nightmares. If you hadn't already guessed, I am from the future."

So many things were racing through my mind. It was starting to make my head hurt, "So how far in the future are you from?"

"8 years into the future. 6 of those years were the best of my life. We had the twins. They were healthy, happy, and beautiful. They were like angels. You would never be able to tell that their father was a demon. The grandson of Satan himself. Anthony was timid as could be, but he would always help his sister with her schemes. I don't think he ever left my side for one moment. Then Cordelia, she was definitely your daughter. Getting into trouble every possible chance she could and was as flexible as a rubber band. But you were most definitely her favorite. We spoiled them so much but they were so precious and I loved them to death. I couldn't have done it without you Sebastian. You made a wonderful father. I could see that you truly loved me and the children more than anything. That's why when the time came for you to take my soul, you didn't take it for the sake of myself and the children. But still to this day, I wish you would have stayed. Because I couldn't do it on my own." Ciel began to tear a little.

I was practically speechless after hearing all this, "What happened when I left? The two other years."

He sighed deeply, "It isn't a pretty story. Soon enough, word got out by an unknown source that I had mated with a male demon and bore two demon children. Despite how completely absurd it sounded, the evidence was there and showed the rumor was true. So what did Scotland Yard do? They put all three of us into an asylum. I know the reason I was put in there. Sleeping with my own servant, male servant to be exact, and the fact that said male servant was a demon from the depths of hell. Just being intimate with a man is a felony on its own. Once you add being a demon butler as well, I was probably in the right place. That combination is so sinful in the eyes of others. But the children, they certainly didn't belong in that place. The only fault they had was not even theirs to blame. An asylum is no place for a child. The queen grew disgusted with me. I really am better off dead. I did her a favor by doing it myself."

My eyes widened, "You killed yourself? But why?"

Ciel shot me a look, "I'm getting to it. So the asylum wanted to test some new therapy techniques. And who else to use but the ones that committed the biggest sin in England? They used electricity to shock my brain several times a day. We all took drugs that were destroying our bodies from the inside out. To them it was an experiment. To us, it was a hell we couldn't escape. So many different kinds of medical tortures, they got me the worst. I died because of it. Clinically dead until they brought me back to life two minutes later. I couldn't get out that easy."

I felt terrible, knowing that I let my master, my lover, and my children suffer through so much pain, "All of this happened because I left?"

Ciel turned around, "It isn't all your fault."

When his back was facing mine, I saw the burn spots in the back of his head. I also noticed bruises and scars that would forever manifest itself on his skin.

"They killed the children." I heard him nearly sob out. My heart almost stopped.

"They were using a new chemical on us that day. I came back, they didn't. Both of them…gone. For reasons they didn't even understand!" Ciel became more upset as tears streamed down his face, "They would ask me every single day, 'Mommy, why are we here?' 'Why are they treating us like this?' 'It hurts mommy! Make them stop!'. Imagine hearing that every single day. From your children. And I couldn't answer them! I couldn't help them! I couldn't save them! I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Two nights later, I escaped the asylum. I ran to our house which was in ruins. After people heard of the 'impure things' that took place there, mobs burned it down and tore it apart. I was running out of options."

"But you didn't have to kill yourself." I remarked.

Ciel walked over and sat on my lap. He wrapped his arms around my neck and rested his head on my chest. I looked down at him as he looked up to me. I could see hints of sorrow in his eyes.

He chuckled numbly, "I had no choice. There was no alternative. There was no where for me to go. I had no family left. And nobody would have taken me in after what I had done. I probably would've resorted to living in the streets. Even then it was only a matter of time before they would find me and take me back to the asylum. And life there would just be more deadly experiments. That was all I could look forward to. I wanted to die on my terms, not theirs. I was tired of being used and being thought of as nothing more than a guinea pig. Plus I could see you and the children again. Besides, I am so much happier now. My soul is at peace."

"I'm sorry." was all I could say at this point.

Ciel leaned up and kissed my cheek, "So am I, Sebastian. So am I."

I began stroking Ciel's long satin hair, "So why are you here?"

He snuggled into the touch, "I got to see you again, didn't I? But more importantly," his tone got more serious, "I'm here to warn you. Sebastian, this future of pain, suffering, and torture can still be changed. When you take my soul, please don't leave me there and disappear forever. Don't be worried about me or the children. They are demons, they can go with you. And as for me, I go with you when you take my soul anyway."

"But I also…" I felt his warm hands cup my face. He shifted so that he was facing me and was…almost straddling me. He leaned in close and brushed his lips with mine, "…wanted to say goodbye." Ciel pressed his lips against mine in a deep kiss. There was something slightly different about it. It seemed more skilled and less amateur. I guessed he must have gotten better at it over the years. I kissed back with a bit more force. The kiss was filled with longing, lust, and sorrow. But it was also gentle and loving.

His lips left mine but he kept his face close, our noses still touching, "Goodbye Sebastian, my love." He captured my lips in one more kiss.

All too soon, I felt the warmth of his lips leave mine and when I opened my eyes, I was lying in my bed. The older Ciel that was once there was nowhere to be seen. I remembered everything he told me. The warning of the horrible future that was ahead of them. It troubled me to see Ciel in so much distress.

But one thing still remained unanswered in my mind. Who told everyone about Ciel and I? But what worried me more was…how did they know?

Well are you crying yet? If you aren't, then you have no heart. Nah I'm just joking. But this was a really sad chapter to write. Although I like it. Hope you enjoyed it and you didn't cry too much. So it might be a little while before I update again just because I will be busy with work and dance.

Rachel: REVIEW SO THAT THE TWINS WILL LIVE!

Spoiler for the next chapter: Ciel finally snaps. At EVERYONE.
