Let Us Say Goodbye.

How does it feel young master, to know your time has come to an end?

My little lord looks so beautiful sitting before me, his one visible eye looking so dead, awaiting what I have in store for him. He never did like to show fear or weakness, even when looking death in the face. The night is cool and the stars are bright over our heads. All around us is darkness, but the young master should be used to that.

He was in the dark long before I met him.

Your revenge is complete young master. How do you feel? Did it bring you peace?

It was a rather tough fight; I'd have to admit that. The fact that I lost an arm and had to shift into my true form speaks volumes. But in the end the young master won, using his knight, his sword, to complete the deed.

My master knew just how to move me into checkmate.

It was a rather fun game.

"Is this the last place?"

Your voice sounds so quiet in the secluded area, just abrely above a hushed whisper, and I feel I must congratulate you on sounding so calm young master. You always were a very intriguing human, even now as you wait to die. From the moment me met everything about you interested me. Why should that change as I wait to take your life.

Let us enter our checkmate Bocchan.

"Yes,"

You're so calm. You did know this was coming from the beginning after all. Have you been anticipating it? Or dreading the day? Personally I have been eagerly awaiting the day I would be able to consume the young master's dark soul. These pasts few years have certainly ripened you up quite nicely. Wouldn't you agree?

You always did interest me.

"Will it hurt?"

Ah, the standard human question. What is it about pain that makes humans so uncomfortable? What is it about pain that puts them at unease? I never did understand why humans hated pain so much, trying to avoid it at all cost. Feeling uncomfortable and skittish, like a small baby bird, when even the prospect of pain is mentioned to them.

I rather like pain, both receiving and giving.

"Yes, a little… I will try to make it as painless as possible."

And so do you, right Bocchan?

"No. Make it as painful as you can."

Such a brave little master.

"Carve the pain of my life, into my soul."

I'm impressed. Of all the humans I've come into contract with, you truly are the most fascinating.

I bow to you one last time, coming down onto my knee, my intact hand over my heart, and then I am advancing towards you, slipping my glove off on the way, listening to the way it meets the ground where it will stay for all eternity.

I can hear your breathing young master.

So calm.

Can you hear mine?

So prepared.

I brush my cool hand across your cheek, feeling how soft your skin is even now before removing your eye patch for the last time, our contract shinning brightly in that right eye of yours.

Such pretty eyes.

Lets us say goodbye young master.

I lean close and you look up at me, gazing into my eyes, a serene expression across your young face. You want this. This is your peace. You don't even flinch when you see my usually concealed fangs.

Are you scared Ciel?

"Then… young master…."

You should be.

I press my lips to yours one last time…

Checkmate.

And smirk when an agonized scream erupts around us, consuming the area in it's sound, all for my ears to hear. Crows scatter into the air, leaving just you and me. Just like it's always been since our meeting. Only fitting it should be that way in our parting.

Goodbye Ciel Phantomhive, my intriguing little master.

Our game is over.

ChibiKit- Well that's the end. I hope you guys enjoyed my first attempt at a Kuroshitsuji story. Please let me know what you think ok?
