Mahiru died.
He died of the disease called the 'Hanahaki' disease, which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from a one-sided love,and they cough up petals until they die.
And who did Mahiru love?
Kuro.
Kuro always said that love between a Human and an immortal Vampire will never happen,and the vampire could never reciprocate the human's feelings,so Mahiru didn't tell him.
He refused surgical removal,which made him suffer, but he didn't tell anyone,and so,it resulted into his demise.
Kuro grieved,regretting telling him that,and he regretted his actions of going against his own feelings that he actually loved Mahiru.
And that was when the Gods took notice of their situations.
They became interested,and told Mahiru's soul that he had a chance to become 'Alive' again.
To be alive,in the form of a dream.
This 'gift',or 'curse',would draw people to his dream, where he would take the form of the Wolf in the story of Red Riding Hood,and the people drawn would become the 'Red Riding Hood'.
He had a chance that if people reciprocated feelings of love for him,he would be broken out of that curse, and he could come back alive again.
Mahiru agreed.
However,he was sad that he couldn't love Kuro once he loved that person who came into,or got drawn into that dream,but it was still a chance to be alive once again.
But it didn't matter,as the Gods removed his memories of his past before he died when he was 'revived' in the form of the wolf in the Red Riding Hood.
It doesn't seem all bad,with him following the original story if he didn't go well with that person..
..Until a taller and muscular Azure-Haired male that seemed older than him with Crimson Eyes,popped up.

"WHY IS RED RIDING HOOD TALLER AND MORE MUSCULAR THAN THE WOLF THIS TIME?!"
"...maybe the whole world is one big, confusing unfair mystery that doesn't make sense and never will.
But hey, maybe that's the beauty of it all: the not knowing."

This is the story of Brenna Wolfe, an Irish Catholic who loses her family to a virulent outbreak of a deadly disease, and lives through it herself. She is saved by a demon named Felix, who allows her to live out her wildest dreams for the ultimate price: her eternal soul.
However, that might not be what her dreams are worth after all. At least, that's what Felix reveals right before he proposes a different deal entirely. It's one Brenna accepts without hesitation, only to discover later on how unhinged his offer truly was.
Past ignorance is replaced with sacred knowledge, and following the ultimate test of faith, Brenna finally comes to know the value of what she was seeking all along.
☆ Interesting facts ☆
1. This is based on Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. It's largely an OC thing, but includes several canon characters. Thus, I've named it honoring the anime, and it's full name is "Kuroshitsuji: Seventh Sin."
2. It's one of the first things I wrote on here so it's bound to have a few issues.
3. The structure of the chapters is based on Dante's Inferno/The Devine Comedy. I started this around the same time I drafted "Letters From Iroh," when I was in my first year of college/university. I was reading the book for a Humanities course at the time and writing this helped me to better remember the order of all the layers of Hell and the corresponding sins/punishments/etc.
Look at that, anime helped my grade! Haha. Alllllright. Alright? Alright. That's about it.
Enjoy! (*^^)v
