I felt a tight grip wrapping around my small delicate hand, "Elena!" A male shouted, sounding very familiar. His hand kept on pulling mine, trying to lift me up out of the water, but I wasn't coming up. I knew that the male could tell that there was something wrong.

It was getting harder to breath now since the oxygen I held was slowly escaping, leaving me to struggle as I tried to stay alive under water. SPLASH. A body jumped inside the water to save me. I tried to focus and recognize the person who jumped in the water. As I squinted at the figure, I finally knew who it was, "Se-" My lips parted to scream out his name but his lips were sealed against mine as he was giving me oxygen in this perfect kiss. I heard the chains breaking as he used his supernatural strength to break me free.

Sebastian wrapped his arm around my waist, swimming up to the surface. I gasped for air as my head plopped up and out of the water, coughing a bit for staying underwater for too long and swallowing little water by accident. "S-Sebastian," I whispered to him, pushing back my wet hair from my face. He didn't look or answer me until I realized that he looked like he was in pain. My eyes grew wide, knowing what was happening. The water is obviously hurting him!

I extended my arms out to the edge of the pool and lifted myself up, then turning to Sebastian having a hand out to him as he grabbed it weakly, pulling him up with all my strength I've got and out of the pool, he toppled over me. His body was heavy on me, but I don't mind. I just wanted to feel him as I felt stupid that my emotion got me carried away in Paris. "I'm sorry, Sebastian. I let my emotion carry me away." I wrapped my arms around to hug him tightly, scared to be apart from him.

I heard him cough for a bit before he said, "I should be the one who should be apologizing. I made you run away in the first place. I'd blame myself not you. You did nothing to deserve pain and suff-" He was cut off by his own suffering as he cough out blood from the Holy Water.

"S-Sebastian!" I rolled myself over to position him onto the wet tiles as he was violently coughing. "It's hurting you!" I was panicking, not knowing what to do. I was at lost of how to help him. His skin was turning red from the irritation from the sacred water from the god's. I didn't want to see him die because of me. "Sebastian, you're not going to die because of me! I miss your damn talking, retorts, words, face, and just everything about you! Your demon-self isn't going to die today!" I saw a smile curling on his lips as I had the courage to strip him from this toxic clothes. I threw off his tailcoat, gloves, and shoes including the socks to the side, and proceeded to unbutton his vest, button down shirt, and pants.

"Shy even though you're so determined to save me…" He chuckled, staring at my redden face. "You hated me with your guts, almost killed yourself because you couldn't handle me."

"Shut up, Sebastian. The reason why you never killed me because of Ciel; even if Ciel wasn't around with us, you wouldn't have killed me either way. Remember how I jumped off the window, wanting to die but you caught me in your arms? You didn't let me die because you really wanted the baby to live and survive. I know while I was staying in the castle with Ash, I knew you were watching. I felt it and knew it was you. So no matter if we're apart, you'll always be there for me because you do care for me and the child." I ripped off the last article off his body as he was fully nude. I felt the heat getting to me as I turned my head away from him, not wanting to look down at his lower region.

"Why look away if we had sex before?" He snickered even in his poor condition he's in.

"C-Come on! Let's find you a shower!"

Luckily there was a cleaning area in the building, as he was in the water, pouring clean water over him while I was stripping off my dress to clean myself as well. I walked to the women's section to find out that their water did not work even though I turned the faucet handle. "Damn…" I had no other choice but to go to the men's section where Sebastian was at.

I made my way to the men's side in my towel as I was getting nervous with each step I took. "Come in already. I can smell your fear all the way over here." Sebastian announced.

I was at the entrance, still scared to take a step in but I mustered my fear and stepped a foot in, without a doubt I walked inside with nothing to fear about since it's only me and Sebastian. My eyes flickered side to side as I was trying to see where Sebastian was located so I can avoid being near him as I clean myself. I made my way to the dimmed large bathroom and then, "Darling, you don't have to go to the end to clean yourself. I'm already done cleaning and I might as well clean you since you're in a weak state." Sebastian came out of nowhere as I thought he was busy cleaning. He held my hand as led me to a big bath where he took to clean himself. "Go and step in." He helped me inside the bath, taking off the towel that was wrapped around me.

"Sebastian…!" I yelped, covering myself with my hands.

"It's okay. I washed you before when Ash had his scent on you, don't worry." He smiled gently, settling me down into the water, washing me down from head to toe. "Close your eyes." I did what he said and closed them as he poured water over my head, then I heard him squeeze a bottle in his hand.

"What are you doing?" I asked, eyes still closed.

"I'm going to shampoo your hair and clean you good. I don't want no fallen angel lingering onto your skin." He said, massaging his fingers onto my scalp. His fingers were gentle on my scalp, trying not to press too hard to hurt my head. Then his fingers threaded through the strands of my hair, lightly pulling it back as he twisted it around before washing it down.

Now that he mentioned about Ash, I wondered what happened to him. "Sebastian, what happened to the city and Ash?"

"Well Elena, Ash is dead because I killed him before collecting important information about your whereabouts and he was going to cleanse the world by burning everyone alive to purify what was unpurified. The world right now is in a big mess I can tell you that, but it'll be better within a few months. The young master is under the cares of our servants at this very moment while I went to save you after slaying Ash." He briefly explained.

Then there was silence between us once again until he spoke up, "At the moment of separation, I knew I deeply cared about because I didn't feel satisfied around the Manor without having to yell at you," when hearing that coming out from him, it made my mood a bit bitter. "But nonetheless, I missed you." He leaned down, having his hair brushing over my cheek as he kissed me! His warm devilish lips lapped over my lips multiple times, making me moan from the pleasure he was giving me.

He pulled back, caressing my face. "We'll continue this later because we need to get back as soon as possible since I don't want you to starve and the young master is waiting for me."

We walked out of the place in fresh pairs of clothes. The city was ruined and dark from the smoke of fire. "I'll take you home by carrying you." He scooped me in his arms and took me back to the manor.

"The manor is burned down…" I looked at the destroyed manor.

"I'm going to rebuild it since the young master and servants aren't here." He placed me down and started to repair the manor.

I was in awe as I saw him building the manor right before my eyes. "Amazing you are, Sebastian." I smiled, but then my stomach started to turn as it was hurting again.

He quickly appeared in front of me, holding onto me. "I need to get you souls. I'll need you to wait. I'll be quick about it." He jumped out from my sight and I was left alone with the unfinished manor. "Elena," I turned around to see Sebastian in a quick second.

"Very speedy." I comments.

"Close your eyes," I closed them as Sebastian's hand covered it to be very secure. I was waiting for something to happen, and then I felt his hot breath as he leaned in closer to my lips. I didn't know what I was waiting for so I opened my mouth, parting my lips open and wait. I felt the covers of my mouth's being touched but it wasn't a kiss that he was giving me. He quickly pulled back his hand and told me to open my eyes. "You thought I'd kiss you? No. I was only transferring your meal to you." He chuckled, brushing his bangs back.

"You're such a tease."

He came and closed the gap between us with his hands entangled in my hair. "Welcome home." He planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
