Never Let That Person Go
Prologue
They always ended up this way. They knew it from the start. Their love was meant to end and it was inevitable. They had tried their best to escape their fate but they knew they couldn't really escape it. Their love was bound to end in some way.
A blonde woman fell on her knees, weeping, with a bloody man on her arms. The man had tried to protect the blonde from her attackers, yet he was shot by an arrow on his shoulder, and had been stabbed two times. She couldn't really do anything but weep. The man had glassy eyes, blood flowing from his body. He was cold, and he was weak. He looked into the emerald eyes of a beautiful woman, and he smiled, but it was too painful to smile.
"It's alright…" he croaked.
More tears flowed from the blonde's eyes. "It is not, it is not!"
The man held out his hand to touch the face of the woman. Her face was stained with blood, but she didn't care at all.
"Beth," the man muttered. "Everything's alright. We…knew this from the beginning, don't we?"
"Why do we always end up this way?" the woman said in a low voice.
Explaining was not needed. They both knew it. It had been this way for centuries – love that ended in a tragic way.
The couple had been together for years now, and when they thought they had finally reached the ultimate happiness, when they thought the cycle had come to its end, this happened. For hundreds – no, a thousand years – they had been reborn into different lifetimes and different stories and identities. It had been that way. They didn't even know if their first existence they were cursed into a suffering of a lifetime but there's only one thing they knew: they existed to be with each other, they vowed not to let each other go and so even death couldn't tear them apart .They would be reborn to a new life but the sad reality was…they only have one ending no matter how many identities they took. Death. It was their only ending. It had been for a thousand years.
"We will see each other again…" Beth whispered into the night air.
The man smiled sadly as he gripped the woman's hand. "We will. Might it be on the next century or the next to it. But no matter how long it takes, we will definitely meet again, as it is how the cycle works. No matter how much identities we take, or families we have, we will only have one purpose in life…"
His voice broke. He loosened his grip on the woman's hand – the indication of death. Tears flowed, and under the night sky she muttered those words that her lover had said awhile ago. "We will be together again. Might it be on the next century or the next to it. But no matter how long it takes, we will definitely meet again, as it is how the cycle works. No matter how much identities we take, or families we have, we will have only one purpose in life…"
She took a knife that lay beside the dead man she had loved so much through the years. She stabbed herself with it, and muttered her last words. "We will find each other and continue our love until the end befalls us again. We will never let each other go…no matter what!"
And with that, her eyes closed. She lay dead with the man she loved. Those words she muttered were always the last words they said before they died, it was a promise of eternal love…
And they wouldn't let go of it until they had found true happiness and contentment.
"Young Master, your schedule is vacant today."
The butler clad in black, Sebastian, bowed before the young Earl.
The young Phantomhive tapped his table with a hint of boredom. His schedule had been vacant for almost a week now, and he had nothing else to do but get headache for the failures of his pretty messed up servants.
"One more thing, Young Master…"
"What is it?"
The butler grinned. "Lady Elizabeth is coming today."
"Ah, so she will be here in a…" suddenly, it dawned on him. Elizabeth is coming today. "What?!"
Sebastian suppressed a smirk. "Isn't that great, Young Master? The manor would become lively and full of energy again. With your schedule vacant, you can now make time for your fiancée."
The Earl sighed. Besides, what could he do? It's not like he could tell Elizabeth to leave anyway. "Fine. But make sure she doesn't turn the mansion into a – ''
"YOUNG MASTER!"
The conversation of the two was interrupted when the servants rushed inside the study.
"What is it again?" Ciel asked, clearly annoyed.
"L-Lady Elizabeth…" Finny stuttered.
"Designed the whole mansion…" Mey-Rin continued.
"With ribbons and stuffed toys…." Bard finished.
Ciel's eyes widened. "She has arrived…ALREADY?!"
"Cieeeel~!"
A squeal was heard and the four servants stepped aside to give way to the hyper active lady who had just came inside the study. She gave Ciel her death hug again and he could only mutter a few words…
"T-too tight."
Lizzy untangled her arms around her fiancé but she swung him around while the others sweat dropped and Sebastian smirked.
"I missed you so much, Ciel!" the young lady beamed after she had stopped swinging Ciel around. "I wanted to dress you up again!"
"I'm not a doll for you to dress up." he mumbled.
"You're still cute as always, Ciel!"
Sebastian bowed before Lizzy. "We are…glad to see you again, Lady Elizabeth."
The lady clapped her hands in delight. "Me too, Sebastian! And you are looking good today!"
"Thank you. To say such things…I am deeply honored."
"It's nothing."
Ciel thought something was missing. Lizzy had decorated the mansion with girly stuff again, she gave him her death hug and death swing, she had greeted everyone with a sunny smile, but there was something wrong yet he couldn't figure it out.
"How about we dance ain, Ciel?" Lizzy suggested.
He groaned. His fiancée, Elizabeth Midford, was the only one who could defy Ciel and do what she wanted with him. As the Queen's Guard Dog, he had to follow the queen's orders, and as the Master of the Phantomhive Household, it was his duty to keep his fiancée happy at all times.
"Should I prepare the violin, My Lord?" asked Sebastian.
"Fine." Ciel replied.
Elizabeth smiled wider and gave Ciel a death hug again.

"We will never let each other go…no matter what!"
~Beth Mittvon
"I will never let this person go…"
~Ciel Phantomhive
No matter how many identities they take. Or how long the years it would take. They would meet again. Might it be on the next century or the next to it. They might have different stories and identities, but they will see each other again. That is how the cycle works. But the vow is this:
Never let each other go….
No matter what!
Done! I hope you enjoy it! I got this weird idea while listening to A Thousand Years. Tell me if it is worth continuing. Reviews are important to everyone! So this'll be a reincarnation thingy so I wish I don't mess up. This could get pretty complex. But please if you're going to criticize, go easy on me. I'm a first timer so don't be too harsh. Do give ideas and point out mistakes though…I would be grateful if you would. So again,
With hugs and kisses,
Shieru-Riji
