The sun and the shadow [Black Butler]

Epilogue

Sebastian's P.O.V:

When the archangel Raphael appeared out of nowhere things became blurry. I don't really know how I ended up being thrown around like a rag doll, smashing tree over tree. But when I finally snapped out of it, I noticed that the mansion was on fire. I could smell the blood of the Phantomhive servants: Mey-Rin, Finnian, Takana, Snake, and Baldroy. Their loss was no big deal to me, if anything it was a relief. They were much more trouble than their worth. However, when I noticed that the fire had strayed towards the library I began worrying- my boochan was there!

Luckily it seems that Lily and Happy had gotten them all out of there. The two witches had cast a shield spell around them, the feline beasts pacing around them and ready to attack if necessary. Ciel was in the center, with the babies in his arms. Once I knew that he was safe, I joined the fight with Natsu and the weather demons.

Things were hard, very hard. At first, we couldn't get close at all and when we could, it was only to have him throw us against the fire or more trees. When we noticed that we couldn't get to Raphael on our own, we combined forces and hit him with all we've got.

It didn't work.

The last thing I heard was my mate's screams as I lost consciousness, after being stabbed with Rapahel's sword.

The only thing able to really kill a demon...

"It seems like the sleepyhead is finally waking up," the annoying, mocking, voice of the blue-haired witch said, as I started to wake up. I think that's the only time I've ever been happy to be in her presence, it meant that I was alive. "You took quite a fall, we almost lost you there."

"What happened?" I demanded to know, incorporating myself on the bed- laying down left me feeling quite defenseless.

"When the sword ran through you, Ciel jumped out of the protecting shield and rushed towards you. He got it out of you and put pressure on the wound, he then dragged you towards us and demanded that we saved you. He was furious... he made a very foolish thing. He took advantage that Natsu, Juvia, and Gray were distracting Raphael, and jumped at him from behind. The Archangel might have had a sensor or some kind of angelic shield against demons and witches, but humans- being God's favorite creations- have quite a few leeways. Raphael never saw it coming, Ciel ran him through with his own damned sword... finishing him in a swift move." I was stunned at her revelation, shocked, to say the least.

When I mate with boochan we would turn into legends. I thought proudly. Not only I would be the only demon prince of hell with a mate, but my mate would have been one of the few creatures in existence that had killed an Archangel!

"I'll leave now," she told me. "Ciel is dying to see you," she smiled kindly at me.

I think it was the first time she had ever smiled at me. What a smile! It was as if the sun was inside the room. No wonder boochan was so attached to her, she was like the sunshine to our shadows.

"Sebastian! How dare you try to die on me?! You are supposed to protect me, not the other way!" He snapped at me, but no matter how high and mighty he acted I could see through the facade- he was very scared and upset. When he opened his mouth to continue bitching, I cut him off with my lips and tongue. If I hadn't been such a professional butler I would have frozen in shock at the words once we had to break apart, for him to breathe: "Mate with me, Sebastian. Eat my soul, I order you!"

Who was I to disobey my boochan?

Levy's P.O.V:

I look down, from the heel I was on, as they began filling Ciel's tomb with dirt. All the most important nobles in Britain were there. Even the queen, was there to say goodbye to her watchful dog. Elizabeth's heartbreaking sobs tortured my heart. But at least now she could end up marrying a man who liked... her body type and could grow to love her as a wife.

"My lady, it's time," Juvia told me.

That's right. I was finally leaving Europe and leaving all the pain and suffering behind. I was traveling to America, for a new life.

With one last look at my little brother's tomb, I turned on my heels and marched towards my carriage... towards my future.

Ciel's P.O.V (You didn't think I would truly kill him, did you?):

The twenty-first century is nice, I like it. I still miss the way nobels were treated back in the day and how important manners were back then, but the society of nowadays has its own pros. Like the fact that I can go back to Britain without having to hide, afraid of being recognized as a Phantomhive.

After mating with Sebastian, the whole group decided to leave Europe for a while and make a base in America. Lucy created two dolls that were disguised as the corpses of Sebastian and me- those were the ones that were buried in the Phantomhive cemetery. My name and reputation became a legend, they still teach about my family and my duty to the queen during history in schools in the United Kingdom.

In the demon society, Sebastian and I became legends of our own right. It didn't take much for us to have a herd of demons pledging themselves to us and offering their services. We soon created an enterprise, who gained more power and money than the Phantomhives ever did. Till nowadays it's still on its feet, as strong as the first day of work.

The group we formed during our times of waiting and of planning how to kill the damn archangel, stuck together. We all lived in the same big mansion, which Sebastian had built for us as soon as we reached the States. Juvia and Gray had two beautiful daughters, who later mated with Raios and Sting. Who were now expecting their first child each.

The best part is that Levy had found her mate: a Lightning Dragon Demon, named Laxus. The only reason why I could stand that annoying, arrogant, asshole; was because thanks to him I didn't have to part ways with my big sister centuries ago. Also, the fact that he is the father of my cute niece Wendy, gave him some points.

Life was good, we were strong and powerful. We survived, we lived, we thrived... because that is what Phantomhives do.
