Questions from last chapter.
From: Fudgecakes
After reading this chapter, I want to ask you something.. PLEASE DON'T KILL SEBASTIAN PLEASE? And I really want to know what is the relationship between Sebastian and Leila/Loss. I wonder if Akuma is the daughter of Sebastian and Leila XD I hope my question would be answered because I LOVE THIS FAN-FIC :3
A:
Alright, alright! I won't kill him this chapter. The relationship between Sebastian and Leila is a bit complicated. For example, Sebastian thought Leila died over a decade ago. And Akuma is Leila's daughter. Confirmed in this chapter.

question! :D
Did Sebastian cause Loss to fall from grace?
A:
He was involved, but he's only part of the reason why she was cast down. Nice name by the way ^_^ I love that band.
Ciel paled and swallowed. "Sebastian?"
He reached out and gently shook Sebastian's shoulders. "Wake up." he said in a voice that struggled to hold steady, "That's an order, Sebastian."
The butler remained motionless, his eyes continuing to stare unseeingly ahead. No breath escaped the body. The lack of response from Sebastian sent Ciel into a panic. He kicked his butler so that he rolled onto his back, then stood over him to strike his hand across his face.
"Sebastian! I did not come all this way to find you, only to have watch you die!" he screamed, "NOW WAKE UP!"
He stopped when he felt Leila's hand on his wrist.
"Stop..." she whispered, "Please. Hitting him will achieve nothing."
Leila stared stone-faced at the ground. Ciel could see her trying to blink away tears, even though they were already sliding down her face. She cried silently, reaching out to touch Sebastian's blood-stained cheek.
"His injuries were beyond our help." she said in a strained voice, "There is nothing to be done."
Ciel watched in silence, ignoring the sting in his eyes. He refused to believe what Leila was telling him.
"No," he murmured. "No..."
Leila ignored him and stood, taking one last look at the fallen demon before turning to Ciel.
"We need to go," she said, "Lillium's pure souls..."
Ciel wasn't even listening. He was still kneeling at his butler's side, running a finger over a cross Lillium had carved over his heart. He knew very well that religious relics or symbols had little effect on the demon. Lillium had marked him out of arrogance.
"Ciel..." Leila whispered, shaking his shoulder.
"We're taking him with us." Ciel murmured, finally letting the tears fall.
She hesitated for a moment. "He'll only slow us down... he'd understand."
"I don't care," he said louder, "He's coming with us... he's not dead."
Leila sighed and bent over. After struggling for a bit, she had Sebastian slung over her shoulders in a fireman's lift.
"I never said he was dead, Ciel." Leila whispered.
Ciel nodded, but said nothing. Leila walked over to the open window, put her fingers to her lips, and let out a long, shrill whistle. Not long after, they both heard the whinny of a horse. She turned to Ciel.
"I'll drop him off on the ground, then climb back up to get you, okay?" she asked.
"Climb?" Ciel said. "Can't you fly?"
Leila couldn't help but laugh slightly. She fully spread her wings. They were huge and fragile. The feathers were black and ragged. There were patches of bare skin stretched over bone where the feathers fell out. the skin was torn in many places. There was a gaping hole left by Lillium's stolen blade. Every bone looked to be painfully broken, and Ciel could see one or two bones speared through the skin. Angel wings were said to be beautiful, but Leila's wings looked as if they were decomposing. They were disgusting.
"My kind do not fly. I'm lucky to still have wings. They are usually torn from our backs when we fall."
Ciel swallowed. Leila, thinking she had made her point, carefully tucked her damaged wings away. She slung one leg over the window.
"Scream if something happens." she said before allowing herself to drop.
Ciel sighed and turned around to take in the room. What had Los- Leila meant when she said he wasn't dead? Hadn't she said herself that his injuries are beyond help? Sebastian had certainly looked dead, but was there a chance that he wasn't?
His eyes drifted shut as he wondered what he would do without Sebastian. He could always summon another demon, right? But was he really that desperate for revenge?
No. It was more than that. He needed Sebastian. Ciel had foolishly chosen to completely and wholeheartedly rely on the demon. He was nothing without Sebastian, nothing but a pitiful, powerless earl. To Ciel, Sebastian was more of a savior to him than any god was. It was almost as if Ciel had gotten his father back in the form of Sebastian. Almost...
Ciel knew full and well that Sebastian saw him as nothing more than a bratty child. Less than that, Sebastian only saw him as a meal. A very satisfying one, more or less. One that will take a bit of time and trouble to prepare, if nothing else. In his heart of hearts, he knew that Sebastian would be the end of him. His trivial emotions would do nothing to change that fate.
But if that was the case, how come Sebastian seemed so concerned for him that night at the manor? He had turned into a complete maniac trying to make him flee. Yes, it stated in the contract that Sebastian had to defend Ciel's life above anything else, but if he was only concerned for him because of the contract, it would have been a bit obvious. The genuine concern, the fear in his face and voice gave it all away.
He opened his eyes as he heard someone trying the door handle. His eyes frantically searched the room, and he ducked behind a chest in a shadowy corner just as the door opened.
A young, black-haired girl around Ciel's age stepped inside, followed by two pure souls. Her gray-blue eyes scanned the room, and when they settled on Lillium, she screamed.
"Mother!?" The girl rushed to the angel's side in hysterics, shaking and pleading with her in an attempt to rouse her. She noticed the blade in Lillium's wing and pulled it out and dropped it on the ground next to her.
"Who did this!?" she screamed, "Tell me who did this, mom! I will make them pay!"
Lillium has beginning to come to. She groaned in pain and shuddered slightly. She said something in a slurred voice that no one could understand, before grasping the girls hand in an attempt to drag herself off the ground.
"A-Akuma!?"
No one had noticed Leila when she climbed back in. She had seen the entire thing, horrified with tears streaming down her face as she watched her own daughter call another woman her mother.
Ciel jumped in surprise. He nearly yelled in relief, but managed the keep quiet in interest of not being caught.
At the sound of her name, Akuma dropped Lillium's hand, stood up and turned. She narrowed her eyes in a cold stare at Leila.
"Who are you?" she hissed. "Are you the one who did this?"
Leila swallowed. "Akuma... don't you know who I am?"
Akuma continued to glare at her even as she reached down and picked up Azrael's blade.
"No." she said angrily. "Tell me what you did to my mother."
"Akuma..." Leila breathed
"How do you know my name?" Akuma spat.
"Akuma," Leila repeated. "Lillium is not your mother."
Akuma growled and raised the blade. "Bullshit," she snarled, "If you're not, then who is?"
Leila took a deep breath. "I am."
Awww, wasn't that the cutest family reunion scene you have ever read? Huh? Wait, No? Well fuck you then. Didn't I say a few chapters back that you would be surprised when Akuma came into the story? I bet no one expected has a pottymouf. Teehee.
So I recently posted yet another death-shot about Ciel. You might want to check that out.
I'm sorry for not updating in forever. For some reason I had a real bad case of writer's block with this chapter. I didn't do a grammar run either, so don't call me out on any mistakes. I keep getting slammed with schoolwork, So let me just tell you that I will try to put out two updates a week. (usually on the weekends.)
