Kuroshitsuji: The soul of light

The solution

That morning I prepare myself, for an visit to the Queen. Sebastian is still lying in a ball on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. The sickness he has to go through is draining a lot of energy from him, it's one of the first times I've seen him sleep. I put on my light blue dress with Erica shaped flowers on the bottom. As I walk towards the bed I hear Sebastian breathing softly and groan a bit from the pain he has to endure, he's probably dreaming. I hope a good one. I gently put my lips on his and unconsciously he kisses back. When I break the kiss, he starts to groan again. "I'm gone for a little while, stay safe my dear butler."

When I arrive at Buckingham palace Charles Phipps awaits me I step of my horse and hold the reins in my hand. Charles bows "Looking beautiful as always milady." "Thank you Charles you to, can I bring my horse to the stables?" "I will take Shiro with me, you can go speak the Queen." I give him the reins and walk towards the doors which Charles Grey opens for me. He bows and once I enter he stays by my side till I reach the throne hall. Charles introduces me and I walk in. After a few steps I sit down on my knee and bow deep. "I've come to talk to you about the case my Queen." She nods in a sign for me to start talking.

"In the Archives of Scotland Yard I found three high rank mass murderers who had escaped a few months ago their names are: Kojiro Asakura, Christian Dornier and Thomas Hamilton. These man all had a past in drugs and they're murderers. Till today nobody has found them, they probably work in secret. My niece, who was murdered, left me some notations she made of this case. I stood in her testament, I picked them up yesterday after hearing from it. Please, take a look my Queen." I handed the papers over to Charles who brought them to her. After she had read them through her eyes widened. "So, Fye von Nort thought that the prince from japan has something to do with this?" I nodded in agreement "Yes, my Queen." "Aiko, my dear, please be careful this case is very dangerous. But I believe you can solve it." I bow. "Thank you, this is what I wanted to talk about with you my Queen. I'll be careful." After saying this I take my leave and head back towards the manor of Erai and his family.

When I walked through the halls of the manor I heard a voice coming from a chamber I hid behind the wall and stood there listening to the conversation. "Yes, I shall speak to you in five days at the harbor midnight. A few days after that I'm planning to go back to Japan, but before I can do that I have to set things right."

I listened to it and made up a smart plan, to attend this meeting. I quickly ran away and hoped that nobody saw me.

*Another person pov

What did she do here, more important what did she hear? I'll see, maybe I have to dispose of her. But that butler of her is gonna be a real pain. tch...

---- Time skip of five days ---

Sebastian was doing well and he helped me with the last pieces of the case. We killed the murderers that night at the harbor and and Sebastian burned their body's. Even in their last moments they wouldn't tell for who they worked even when Sebastian threatened to kill them, they didn't say a thing like they lost their voices. Their boss didn't come and we still didn't know who it was, though I had my own suspicions together with Sebastian.

Sebastian wrapped the sheets around me and gave me a kiss on my head "Good night, young mistress." I kissed him back on his cheek and smiled at him. Sebastian kept the same face as always, he bowed and walked out of the room. I closed my eyes and drifted of into a soundless sleep.

After an hour I heard the door of my room open and I thought it was Sebastian to come and say something. I couldn't see very well and almost screamed it out in pain when my left wrist with the seal on it was grabbed and I was roughly pulled out of bed. Someone lead me towards the bathroom and once I was in, someone turned on the lights. The one standing in front of me was Chi Hotaru. I was a little surprised. "You knew all along that it was me, didn't you little brat? Your always standing in everyone's way but after this you won't do that ever again." He hissed with a low voice. "You killed her and Claude only because they came to close to the truth, didn't you Hotaru? I hate you so much, you know!" He smiles at me "Yes I did because they came to knew my secret, but I didn't kill them myself. I had people who did it for me." I tried to punch him with my right hand but he quickly catched it and held it tight. "And Elias Goldstein, what about him?" "That jerk sold me impure drugs, I had to dispose of him and take my money back." He holds my wrists with one hand and he fills the washbasin with water. I became frightened. "But Shizukana those are not the only persons I had killed for me. Your father also did a little research and I think you could guess what happened next." I look at him as my eyes widen "How dare you, you monster!" I growl at him and hiss in pain "I know, I know. But you'll soon be freed of your grief, my dearest Aiko." He takes a hold of my nape and pushes me down in the water. I try to break free of his hold but Its useless and only costs me more air. When he pulls me up again I see his smile reflected in the mirror. As I gasp for air he opens his mouth. "You know Shizukana your the first one I kill myself but your worth it." He laughs, I try to get some words out of my mouth "S-Sebastian h-help m..." "You're still calling out for your butler, your such a weakling, aren't you?" He pushes me down once again. The more I struggle, the tighter his grip becomes. I slowly feel the air escaping my lungs and I start to panic. The last thing I hear is a door that smacks open and I feel the pressure on my nape fading while I slowly lose my consciousness.

When I wake up I see Sebastian sitting on the edge of the bed beside me. "Sebastian, you were the one who saved me, weren't you?" He nods as he softly strokes my cheek with his hand. "What happened, Sebastian?" "You called my name, I knocked down the door to the bathroom and I saw Chi holding you under water. I was scared something might happen to you, so I killed him that instant." I look up at him "What did you do with his body?" "I made it look like a car accident, Erai and his parents are downstairs grieving over the death of their son or brother." He looks at me with a worried expression. "I told them you were sick and were in no state to walk, it's quite true." I just silently nodded, before I knew it I had said the thing I was thinking about. "I have completed my revenge, Sebastian. The ones who killed my parents are dead." "I know young mistress I overheard a part of the conversation you and Chi were having. But I can't take your soul just yet, I want it to stay in the darkness for a little while longer, maybe it becomes even more delicious then." I stare at him and give him a look of agreement before I fall back into a deep slumber.

--- Le time skip---

"Young mistress, prince Hotaru wants to speak with you." I give Sebastian a sign that he can let him in. I'm sitting up against the headboard with a book on my lap as Erai walks in, he sits down on the edge of my bed. "I hope you feel better sweetheart, I want you to know that the preparations for our marriage next week are done. you get the most beautiful dress and we're gonna get married in the most beautiful church of Japan. After that I claim my rightful place on the throne with you beside me as my queen."

------------------------------- Bad Ending-------------------------------------

I nod yes, but actually I really look up to having to marry this man. The death of his brother meant nothing to him, the only thing that matters is that he can become king now with me by his side. Sebastian looks at Erai with disgust as he walks by and he returns the glance. "Oh and honey, this butler has to go once we're married. I don't like his attitude at all. Sebastian closes the door behind him "Sebastian take my soul, please. I will not marry this man. He takes you away from me, I can't stand that thought." He looks at me with a pained look "But I can't take your soul, young mistress." "Why not?" Sebastian grabs my hand and sits down "Because I love you." "I love you too, that's why I want you to end me. I can't stand living without you and knowing you have another master of mistress. Please Sebastian, it's the last thing I will ask from you. I kiss him on the lips in reassurance that I'm okay with this, he kisses back. I lie down on my bed "Will it hurt, Sebastian?" He looks at me with a puzzels expression "It will a bit, I'm sorry, but I will endeavour to be gentle though." "No, be as brutal as you want. Etch the pain of grief and loss deep in my soul, as prove that I have lived. He looks at me in shock but still gives me the appropriate answer "Yes, my dear Aiko." He strokes his hand down my cheek. My eyes widen in fear as his lips were closing in on mine and I roughly felt the life being sucked out of me. I smiled and I felt a tear from his eye streaming down over my cheek. So this is it for me then?

When I feel her soul glowing inside of me, I know she's dead. The one person I loved the most. Tears stream down my face of anger and pain, why did it have to end like this? A big light comes up from the depths of my heart and it breaks right through my chest. Suddenly I see Aiko in front of me, she dances through the room as a sign of her freedom. The only thing I could do was watch and see how beautiful she was as she spun around like that. She smiles, for the first time I see a real smile on her face. It's like nothing bothers her anymore. She gives me one last kiss on my lips and the last thing I hear before her soul tears me open is "Thank you for everything, goodbye Sebastian my love."In the end we died together, how I predicted it. A demon can't take a soul from a human they're in love with. It's an action of suicide. But I wouldn't want to die in another way because, in the end, I got the most beautiful death in the world. Torn by her soul of light.

--- A week later---

I sit by the grave of my most loyal watchdog. My butler Charles Grey stands behind me to protect me from anything that could happen. Her butler did exactly the same for her, but they're both gone now. "She was to young to die. It's going to be hard without her. She meant a lot to me" I lay the white flowers down on her grave and give one last look at it. I know she still watches over me from above. I look up to the sky as it starts raining, even the heaven weeps for her. "Rest in peace, my dear."

A/n: no worries I'm still going to write a good ending. But this was the original ending I had in mind, my mother and some friends tried to kill me for it (they didn't succeed!) I'm just not so good in good endings. But I hope you liked the end!! please review.
