HEY ARISA, I FINALLY UPDATED! YOU HAPPY NOW, YOU LOVABLE BITCH!?

Questions from last chapter:

From: DanelleSephton
Q: This is really gr8. I have a question too; Will you be going more into the OC character relationships more, or will there be any thing canon? You hint at what will happen to the OC's but really only that. I ask this because I luv me a good friendship, hurt/comfort, but no one ever really writes them, let alone w/ poor sebby being the victim.
A: I plan on sticking to Ciel/Lizzie. There are going to be hints of a one-sided Ciel/Akuma, though. As with Sebastian and Loss, well, I'll get back to you about that later ;)

The angel gave a sweet, false grin. "Loss!" she said, "That is the name you still go by, correct? Or did you give yourself another?"

With one arm still shielding Ciel, Loss retrieved the dagger she concealed in her other sleeve.

"My name is Loss, and that is what you are to call me."

Lillium shook her head, causing her heavy brown curls to bounce slightly. Her slightly tanned skin was stained with black blood. She fixed her emerald eyes on Loss in a piercing stare.

"Your name isn't Loss," The angel said simply, "Do you not want that child to know? I would be more than happy to tell him."

Loss pushed Ciel behind her, "He has nothing to do with this." she hissed.

"Protective are we?" Lillium taunted, "What ever happened to your darling daughter?"

Loss stared at her with no attempt to hide the hatred in her face.

"I think we both know," she said.

The angel shrugged. "Either way the boy was everything to do with this. His soul belongs to a demon! A demon slated for death, in fact!"

Loss tilted her head. "Only archangels can order demons killed, and they typically kill them in person." she said calmly, "And last I checked, you are not a archangel."

Lillium gave a cold smile. "Sebastian Michaelis was supposed to be killed over a century ago. Your brother ordered the killing himself!"

"Wait," Ciel interrupted, "What the hell are you talking about!?"

They both ignored him

Loss smirked. "Azrael is not one to leave things undone. If he ordered Sebastian dead a century ago, Sebastian would have been killed a century ago."

"The demon has been difficult to track up to this point..." Lillium said quietly.

"If a lowly angel such as yourself can manage to track him down, I believe Azrael wouldn't have any trouble." Loss said

"How dare you!?" Lillium yelled, "I'm a Dominion! I rank above the Powers!"

"That is irrelevant," Loss stated calmly, "A Dominion's job is simply to regulate the duties of other angels, not to do their jobs for them. It is nearly unheard of for a Dominion to make themselves physically known to this world."

Lillium remain silent.

"What a pity," Loss said, "I've been outcast from the heavens, yet I still seem to make a better angel than you."

Lillium spread her wings. "How dare you!?" she shrieked. "you have no right, no right, to say that!"

She reached over her shoulder for the sword she kept sheathed in a scabbard tied to her back. She raised the blade to eye level, then rushed Loss.

"Loss, get out of the way!" Ciel yelled.

there was the sound of air moving, and then Loss was wrapped in a pair of black, ragged wings. She hissed in pain when the sword plunged into the tip of her left wing, but was still grateful that it hadn't been through her heart. Before Lillium had the chance to pull the blade out, Loss rapidly spread her wings and sent the blade clattering before her.

"L-Loss!?" from behind she could hear Ciel yelling in a frightened voice.

"Just stay down and help Sebastian," she hissed.

Loss stepped in between the now disarmed Lillium and Sebastian. Ciel crawled over to his fallen butler and began to check his vitals.

Loss kicked the blade towards the angel. and loosely tucked her wings in

"Pick up the sword Lillium." Loss said steadily, "If you wish to fight me then so be it, but it will be a fair fight."

Lillium smiled slightly and picked up the blade. Loss raised her daggers and crossed them over her chest. They stared at each other; the Graceful and the Graceless. Loss charged.

Ciel was completely oblivious to what was going on behind him. His only concern was for Sebastian. He knelt down in front of Sebastian's face and brushed the hair out of his face, trying his best to ignore the blood soaking through his clothes. The butler gave no response. If it hadn't been for the irregular, shallow breaths the demon was drawing, Ciel would have thought him dead.

"Hey," he whispered, "Sebastian. Sebastian, can you hear me?"

Sebastian's eyes flicked up to look at Ciel. They were unfocused, glassy, and completely devoid of any and all light. Ciel had seen those eyes before. Back in the occult. Those eyes belonged to the kids who had given up all hope. The ones who just let go of life and slowly started wasting away. The ones who had been trapped and abused for so long that they were just shells of the people they once were.

Breaking a human was easy, but a demon? Ciel shook his head, trying to fight back tears.

"Sebastian," he said, "get up. That's an order."

Sebastian did nothing but stare at his master and blink.

Silence.

"Sebastian, you are my butler. Say something."

The demon let out a shaky breath. "Y-yes, my l-lord." he rasped.

Relief crashed over Ciel, and he found himself grinning in response.

That's when he registered Loss screaming.

Loss was a skilled fighter, but her two daggers were simply not enough to take on Lillium and her Heavenly Sword. She was constantly having to defend herself, and was never able to launch an attack of her own. Eventually, Lillium had backed Loss against the wall. The latter was weakened, with a multitude of slashes and stab wounds covering most of her exposed skin, along with a few rips in her dress.

Lillium smiled victoriously, and sent the sword flying towards her heart. Loss shifted at the last second, and the sword plunged into her upper chest instead, narrowly missing her lungs and heart. Loss screamed. The sword literally impaled her, going all the way through he chest with the tip peeking out through her back. She began to writhe beneath the angel that had her pinned to the wall.

Lillium let out a small chuckle, "You remind me so much of Sebastian right now. How he would plead and cry and scream."

The comment infuriated Loss, and taking a deep breath to muster all of her strength, she kicked Lillium squarely in the chest. The angel flew back a foot or two, and landed harshly on her back.

Loss stood straight up, panting and shivering. She dropped her daggers and reached for the hilt of the sword, and with a sharp groan of pain pulled it from her chest. She walked on unsteady feet to where Lillium lay struggling to breathe. Loss planted her foot firmly on Lillium's chest, effectively pinning her down. The angel's winged beat uselessly against the ground.

"This is the blade of my once-brother Azrael, the Archangel of Death." Loss said. "Tell me why you have it in your possession!"

"A-Azrael ordered the death of-"

"LIAR!" Loss yelled, "If Azrael ordered this death, he would have carried it out himself! He would never, ever, allow another to wield his blade! Tell me the truth!"

The foot on Lillium's chest pressed down harder, demanding an answer.

"A-aah!" the angel gasped in pain, "F-fine! I stole the damn s-sword!"

"WHY!?"

"Th-that demon interrupted a r-ritual! He s-stole the sacrifice and killed th-the templars! He deserve to die!"

Loss looked down coldly at the angel. "I think you are the one who needs to die."

She raised the blade.

"S-stop!" Lillium shrieked. "I CAN GET YOUR DAUGHTER BACK!"

Loss hesitated. "Akuma is dead..."

"N-no!" Lillium yelled, "Akuma is alive! She is in this tower, locked in the room beneath this one."

Loss's face contorted in fury. "You locked my daughter away in some room!?"

She plunged the blade down into one of her wings. It drove deeply through the center, going all the way through and pinning the wing to the ground below. Lillium screamed in agony.

"L-Leila," the angel whispered, "spare me."

Loss smiled sadistically "I told you not to call me that name. Death would be a mercy compared to what I'm about to do now."

"Leila, I can get your rank back." Lillium rasped, "I can return you to grace, to the full power you once had as the Night's Archangel. You can see your brother again, you can be loved. All you have to do is kill the demon."

Leila leaned down to stare at Lillium. "Not interested." She said simply.

She twisted the sword, causing the wing to rip and tear beneath her and Lillium to scream out.

"You claim to be a Dominions angel? You say you can restore my power?" Leila asked, "Even if I don't kill you, I'm sure Azrael will when he finds out what you've done."

Lillium closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. She stopped moving completely. Leila would have thought her dead, except for the fact that she was still breathing.

"L-Le...ila,"

The fallen angel turned at the sound of Sebastian's weak voice. The demon was staring up at her with eyes full of disbelief. He had the smallest hints of a genuine smile playing at the edges of his lips.

"Y-you're... alive..."

She ruffled her wings slightly and smiled, "Yeah. I still am, aren't I?"

She clutched at the wound on her chest, swaying slightly as her eyes filled with pain. Sebastian grinned at her for the briefest moment. He let out a long breath as his eyes rolled up into his head.

The demon went limp.

HAI GUYS!

Wait, before you shoot me, let me just tell you that Sebastian IS NOT DEAD! Not yet anyways... Aw c'mon! Don't look at me like that. I warned you last chapter there was gonna be a near-death experience, didn't I?

Lillium means 'lilly' in latin. I thought it would be a good name for an angel... yeah I know it sucks don't judge me.

Leila means 'night' in hebrew. She used to be called the Night's Archangel.

Most angels have either Greek, Latin, or Hebrew names... Just saying because most people think that character with unusual names are Mary-Sues. Yes, Loss was a very unusual name, but you have to remember that it wasn't her actual name.

I'd like to thank Arisa, Abby, Blackcat, and Promocat for all of their continued support and constant reviews. You guys are fucking amazing and I hereby dedicate this chapter to the four of you.

I don't know when I can update this puppy again, but I do hope it can be soon.
