Note: Not much to say... Crap chapter; I was really just trying to wrap this up as best as I could. If you have any questions be sure to ask.

PLEASE READ NOTE AT BOTTOM.

By the time Ciel had eaten and was caught up with everything that happened while he was asleep it was dark out, and Sebastian sent the servants away once again. Ciel lied in his bed and watched as Sebastian settled Rose to sleep, impatiently waiting for him to finish so they could discuss what had happened.

When she was finally sleeping Sebastian came and hovered over Ciel, kissing his neck and whispering to him.

"Sebastian… wait," Ciel murmured. "You have to tell me what happened."

Sebastian sat up, looking down at Ciel. "Must I really get into that now?"

"Yes, Sebastian. There's still much that we need to clear up."

"Ask me anything."

"I'd rather you just explain it all to me."

Sebastian nodded. "Yes, my lord." He moved off of Ciel and sat to the side. "You see, from the very beginning I knew there was no possible way I could let you go, Ciel. If I could find another form of payment, however, then I wouldn't have to.

"You recall what I said a while ago about Lady Elizabeth? I knew if she was around then my efforts would be in vain, so I worked everything around her death. She was simply a pawn in my own game, you see. As I believe the Undertaker told you, her soul was nearly as desirable as yours. However, if I were to just ask for her soul as your extra charge then I would still have to find a way to make up for the original contract. When I thought it through, I realized that if I were to ask for the child of you and Elizabeth then it would serve both purposes. That's why I decided to try and hide up the murder I intended to commit by killing the expecting mothers.

"After Elizabeth died and the child was born, I had to somehow acquire the soul. But I couldn't bring myself to take another thing from you. That's why I created the dream you were trapped in for so long, so that my feral side could be free without having an effect on your life."

"But I thought that the two are connected?"

"They are, to an extent. The candle was just a trick to make you think that so you would believe that the dream state it was real so you would be desperate to find a way out and offer me Rose; I couldn't take her soul without your direct permission. That's also why I instigated the 'alterations' to the contract, so that I could lie to you about it without consequence. I revoke all changes, now, though. I will never lie to you again." He smirked. "In the dream state my demon form rules over nothing, satisfied with you as his pet and having consumed the souls of not only every human in that dream world but also the soul of the child of Elizabeth and Ciel Phantomhive."

"I'm confused," Ciel said. "How are you and the demon in the dream so different?"

"That's a completely separate matter, but if you insist… You see, I much prefer this form over that one since you do and all I wish is for you to be happy. I've tricked the part of me that is the true demon that the dream is real, and since Sebastian is mostly human he doesn't care whether he receives the souls or not as long as he is with you. It's sort of as if I've split myself into two different beings. Almost." He brushed Ciel's cheek with a gloved hand, his touch feather soft. "I've done all of this to stay with you, my lord – Ciel. I love you."

Ciel reached up and held Sebastian's face between his hands. A demon... I have a demon in the palm in my hand, willing to throw away his demonic side in order to stay with me… His fingers knotted in Sebastian's hair and he whimpered softly when Sebastian pressed their mouths together forcefully. "We need to hire a nursemaid," Ciel whispered.

"Why the sudden change of heart?"

"You can't be a butler, a mother, a nursemaid, and a wife at the same time," Ciel said, enjoying the feelings of Sebastian's hair, soft as silk between his fingers.

Sebastian laughed softly. "I'm sure Rose won't mind," he whispered.

And, as far as they could tell, she didn't.

Note: THE END. /dies

ABOUT CHAPTER THIRTY: I will post chapter thirty NEXT SUNDAY. All voting will close on Friday (so I have two days to work on it.) I will not post any sort of announcement when voting closes to say what the winner is. You'll just have to wait until Sunday.

ABOUT PART THREE: I am very skeptical as to whether or not to write this. It's just that no one seems interested and I'm really just not able to get back into writing anything Kuro right now. If you want to read a part three then SAY SOMETHING. PLEASE. Otherwise I will have no idea whether or not I should even bother trying. Until I decide, this story will be marked Complete. It may take a week or three months but who knows? I could very well pick this up and keep writing at any time /shrugs

ABOUT MY NEXT FIC: The next fic I am posting WILL NOT BE SEBACIEL. Or even Kuro. I will either continue Nothin' on Your Eyes or start posting a RitSoubi mpreg I have actually been wanting to write since before I started posting this. Either way it will probably be Loveless; I'm sorry. And even that I'm not to sure about. Anyway, expect me to be fairly inactive for the next few weeks at the least.

Thank you all so much for your continued loyalty 3 I look forward to seeing you in Chapter Thirty!

[IMPORTANT] ONE MORE CHAPTER! I have everything written through chapter 29. Chapter thirty will be reader's choice! Feel free to send in suggestions, and those that I like will be added to this list:

Current Options:

Alternate Ending (14) (I still think)
