Chapter 6: Let there be blood

I am soooo sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was really sick and I could even managed to update. I'm planning on making this chapter really really good to make it up to you guys.

I had one reviewer figure out my plan to fast. Good job, I guess. *sighs*

Anyways, I don't own Kuroshitsuji/ Black Butler.

Catherine's POV

I unfolded to letter as I drank my tea. I slowly spit the drink back into the cup due to its odd flavour. I folded the letter back up an stood from my seat.

"I'm going to visit the Phantomhive residences. I have a few things to discuss with them. I need you to stay here and watch over the mansion." I said tucking the letter into my blazer pocket. A growl escaped his lips as he bowed and disappeared out the door.

I jumped onto Winter Thorpe and rode to the Phantomhive Estate. When I arrived, I didn't hesitate to barge in.

"Oh, who is that?" a young lady with blonde curled hair dressed in a poofy pink dress asked Ciel.

"What are you doing in here? Don't you know how to knock?" Ciel shouted at me.

"Perhaps, but I felt the need to barge in with such shocking information as this." I said walked to them as I pushed my hair back up into the pins.

"Aren't you supposed to be banished?"

"Oh, Ciel, I thought you actually cared for me for a moment."

"Please, you wish that's what you thought."

"Ouch, that stung."

"What do you want?" I unfolded the letter and dangled it in front of his face. He jerked it from my index and thumb. "NO, I refuse to be paired with such a... fiend as yourself."

"Must you be so rude as to call me a fiend! Oi, where are my manners? MY dear, I am Casper Demetrio the third. It is quite a pleasure to meet you." I took her hand in mine and pecked a simple kiss upon it.

A giggle seeped from her lips as she spoke, " I am Elizabeth. Oh, Ciel, he has such manners. Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from this fine young man."

"Manners! Fine? I beg your pardon, but this thing has no manners, nor is it fine." Ciel whined. "Hey, since when have you been engaged?" He motioned to the ring on my finger.

"Just recently. I have met a fine young... lady. She is quite accustomed to my home land." I spoke playing with the engagement ring on my finger. I caught a glimpse of Sebastian throwing a saddened look.

"I...see. Lady Elizabeth, won't you join Sebastian to the main hall. I have to tend to this issue first."

"Okay, it was nice to meet you too, sir Casper." She smiled and trailed after Sebastian. After they left out the doors, I quickly took my hair down and sighed.

"I can't stand this anymore! I want to end the feud between my father and I!"

"Lucky that you get to. According to what this letter says, you have to or you and Edward will be sentenced to death by the queen, and I need to supervise you." Ciel said rolling his eyes at the last part.

"When should we leave?"

"We will leave tomorrow."

xXx

I managed to tell Edward to stay at the mansion while I worked with Ciel here in London. I don't really know how I did it, but I did. I wandered the streets aimlessly. I had asked all the people here if they had seen the 'Bloody Artist' around, but all they said is that they'd seen his work, but not him.

I turned a corner, and a figure jumped down in front of me.

" 'Ello, luv."

"Elijah," I said faking a dark smile. Elijah was one of the few werecats still alive. But, he was one of the many left that took souls when they pleased. I, on the other hand, was one of two that never has taken a soul. Elijah has been my friend for a while. He's always the best at fake identities, accents, and well anything that's forged; forged signatures, art, documents, you name it.

"Please, call me my nickname, luv." He spoke with a British- no maybe Australian accent.

"Cut that act, Elijah, what do you have this time?"

"Fine, but you aren't any fun anymore. I got you a big deal tonight. I hear that his next move might be the butcher shop tonight. He passed be recently dressed oddly and asked someone where the butcher shop was. He walked there, but he never went in."

"If you've been following him, why not stop him?" I shouted kicking him in the shin.

"Oi, no fair. I didn't finish! He's got a weapon. A good weapon; so much power..." He spoke full of amazement. "I've actually seen it as a sword and a gun. It could just be that he has matching weapons, but the colour, strength and speed are all the same. He's even killed a reaper with it."

"Nah, this can't be a coincidence. But if the reapers are getting involved, then this means- He can't possibly have..."

"The demon slayer?"

"Yeah."

"But, if he has that then, that means there's no stopping him."

"I need to warn the others. You keep an eye on him without getting killed." I shouted and ran off.

xXx

"No, no, no, no, you can't possibly go after him with the demon slayer. If it can kill you two, an unkillable reaper, and any other demonic thing, as you say, than you two can't possibly go after him." Ciel groaned at me.

"I don't really have a choice. He is getting the reapers involved, and that's more than enough to say that I need to stop him from killing anyone else." I said softly.

"I don't understand your motives. You will die if you try to stop him. Why go anyways?"

"Because... I'll die doing something amazing. I'll be trying help those who need me the most."

"That is the lamest motive I've heard."

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't go."

"Because he has the demon slayer."

"And?" I asked getting angry that he thought he could actually stop me.

"You are a demon, he'll kill you in a heart beat."

"Alright, Ciel! I get that you think it's a bad plan, but don't ever call me a demon!" I stood up. My eyes were not the red-pink colour I was known for. Sebastian pulled Ciel away, catching on that I was mad. "Sorry, I'm trying not to break under this!" I say and run from the room.

TPOV

Ciel and Sebastian argued for a moment, then finally agreed that Sebastian could help Catherine.

Sebastian walked down the streets finally stopping to see not Catherine, but a cat-like Catherine.

"Jonathan, this is not your fight; move!" Catherine shouted at the other werecat standing in her way.

"Catherine, please take it easy! I know this seems bad but you have to understand." Jonathan said firmly.

"Why should I take it easy?"

"Because... The Bloody Artist didn't kill him! I did. He was tricking you into thinking to go to the butcher shop so you would die. He tricked a few others as well, and they are all dead now!"

"You... did this? Why would you take away my only family?"

"He deserved to die."

"No, the only one that deserves to die... is you, Jonathan!" Catherine dug her sharp nails into the concrete and held her breath. She quickly changed to her human form and began to cry. Jonathan formed back as well and walked to her side.

"Why didn't you attack me?" He asked weakly.

"I will not be the one to kill you. I know that when I prove you wrong, the others will kill you for me. We all loved and trusted him. He didn't deserve to die, even if he did trick us."

"Catherine!" Sebastian said running to her. Catherine turned and slowly smiled.

"Sebastian, I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"Don't worry, my love. I explained to the young master."

"Hmm, thanks. Sebastian?"

"Yes?"

"Help me prove him wrong. Help me prove that Elijah died as a trustworthy and loved person." She glared at Jonathan and smiled to Sebastian. Sebastian nodded and grabbed my hand. He pulled me against his chest and jumped onto a nearby roof.

Catherin's POV

We wandered the streets at night. Rain was slowly falling on us, making the night seem all the more eerie. My hands shook slowly. A rat ran across the alley making me jump. I heard Sebastian chuckle and I growled quietly.

Not quiet enough "I think it's cute how you jump like that." Sebastian teased.

A scream pierced the night and we quickly dashed around each alley until we came upon the butcher's shop. Sebastian pulled me against his chest hiding my face in his clothes.

"Aw, no fair, I wanted to have some fun with you, Catherine." I knew that voice anywhere. "Please look at the beautiful artwork I have displayed for you." I slowly turned around letting out a small whimper as I saw what he had down. Who in the world could possibly have a stomach this strong to do such a thing?

Blood painted the walls, windows, and ground. A large dress and a small dress flapped in the wind like flags on flagpoles. In the window hung by their necks were a young girl and her mother; naked.

"Oh, don't you love it? I was inspired by a war ground. A bold flag. the marks of the brave soldiers, and of course, the soldiers who gave their lived to... entertain me." My father, or in this case, The Bloody Artist, laughed and jumped from the roof of the butcher's shop.

"You sick bastard!" (A/N: excuse my/her language :p) I spat at him.

"Ooh, such vile language. You've grown up!" He lifted his gun to me "Too bad it will have to end here."

"Wait, at least let me ask a question."

"well, ok, I suppose you deserve to know before you die. What do you ask?"

"Why these innocent people? Why not those who have done wrong, like perhaps, me?"

"I chose innocent people to make you suffer. To make you regret being the reason I'm alive! I wanted you- all of those bad people, to live to see what these people don't deserve but get because of their crimes."

"So, you have been doing good this whole time, just in a crude way."

"So, you're smart too? Oh goody, now I'll really have something to enjoy!" He pulled the trigger. I pulled a sword from under my blazer and blocked the bullet. "yay, a fight! Just what I wanted!" He changed the gun to a sword and fought me with his.

I blocked every swipe he tried, but I slipped, and allowed a second of vulnerability. He swiped my leg cutting deep into the skin. I yelp escaped my lips. Sebastian ran to my side and took the sword from my hands pushing me back gently. Now he began to fight for me.

Sebastian dodged many, but a swipe on his shoulder caused a single slip up. I pulled a second sword out and blocked the quick but unsuccessful attack my father tried to lay. I blocked each swipe again. He's just playing with us!

"Are you gonna fight for real, or are you gonna keep playing with your food?" I asked while my eyes forced themselves to changed to the crimson red.

"Fine, but I must warn you, I chew fast!" He smirked and fought for real. He managed to land several blows on my weakening me greatly. I've... got to... finish this!

I did a quick upper cut and pulled back quickly, trying to recover.

"You have so much strength you refuse to use. I'll just have to take that for me then." A chuckle escaped his lips as his teeth turned to razor sharp daggers. His eyes became engulfed in crimson. His form got taller and thinner.

"Sebastian, any way to get out of this one?" I asked slowly stepping backwards towards him.

"We must run!" He said scooping me up in his arms and turned to run.

"We have to kill him!"

"I know I'm not usually the one to say this, but how are we supposed to kill a demon ghoul in possession of the demon slayer?"

"You just said the answer! If we can wound his bad enough with his sword to slow him down, I can kill him."

"Alright, I'll distract him." He set me down and dashed up to a nearby roof. I did the same following slowly behind.

I reached for the sword he dropped. "Let only the good stop me, let only the healthy wound me, and let only love hurt me. I am strong, so that I will stay!" I chanted, jumped and stabbed his chest.

His demonic features disintegrated. He weakly gasped for air as I got closer to his ear.

"Let there be blood..." I whispered, and turned the sword in his chest then ripped it free. I stood and tucked the sword into one of my sheaths on my belt under my blazer.

"Let's go home so we can report this the queen tomorrow." I said shyly. Sebastian nodded and led me back to the motel.

Yay, it's finished, finally. I actually wanted there to be more to it, but I was so tired that I was worried that I'm make it weird. I'll put more SebastianxCatherine again soon, because actually seeing them fighting together like that makes me smile.

Again, any questions, requests, comments, or criticism can be mentioned in a review or PM me any time, and I'll answer/reply as soon as I can.

Oh, I won't be able to post any time next Wednesday- Friday because I'm going to Florida then(Unless I don't get to go). I will however, be trying to update every story(maybe not this one though-this one would be updated last) tomorrow to make it up to you.

Anyways, please R&R and Fav&follow! Thanks!
