In Chapter 54~

So she had no choice and so she stood in the exact spot... not moving...

'Undertaker got me well...,' Y/n thought as she smiled up at Ciel, his eyes widening.

Y/n let out a gasp as a weapon rampaged into her, she spat out blood... but she kept her balance even when the weapon was pulled out. Her body started to slump towards the ground falling dramatically... and hitting the ground with an inaudible thud...

"Y-Y/n...?" Ciel called out... his voice wavered. "This isn't funny... wake up... you can't die after that... you're a demon-angel... wake up!"

Y/n's body didn't move... not even a twitch of the hand...

Sebastian stood still... he could hardly hear his own... now ragged breathing... blood started to pour out of the wound... it pooled around her and soon enough films started pouring out of Y/n who laid on the ground... the films started to play... flashing through the eyes of four who stood still and the one who started upon Y/n, the scythe still in his hand.

Y/n's eyes were lifeless but they still reflected the light from the cinematic records... as if she was examining her life... her past...

Through the silence, Sebastian let out a choked gasp...

"Y-Y/n?"

___________________________________________________________________________

A long time ago... :))

Undertaker slashed through the human and they slumped to the ground... the films started pouring out of their body... he stared at them...

How long has it been since he had been a reaper... He was already classified as the best grim reaper in the Retrieval Division but something felt missing... he felt... his heart felt... lonely...

He didn't notice a pair of cautious eyes watching him until he saw two tiny feet standing on the concrete as it rained. He slightly tilted his head up to meet the person and rose an eyebrow... in front of him was a mere child. 

Her small but slightly chubby cheeks had a small dose of rosy redness in them as they glowed by the cinematic record light... and her large... but lifeless eyes stared into his slightly surprised chartreuse phosphorescent ones. 

"Who are you, Oni-san?" She had a gentle and quiet voice... it was unlike the childish voices of most children that he'd met... it sounded... mature... grown-up...

"You should be running little one...," Undertaker spoke as his hair whipped side to side by the wind, her h/c hair was also being whipped back and forth as it was being drenched. 

"Why?" She asked as she tilted her head. She looked no younger than eight... maybe nine?

"Are you not afraid?" Undertaker questioned. 

"Afraid of what?" She wondered. 

"This man is dead... because I killed him," Undertaker spoke. 

The girl replied with nothing except gave him a shrug. "What's your name oni-san?" 

"I don't feel obligated to answer," Undertaker sighed before he cut off the cinematic record. 

"Why does it say end...?" The girl asked, as her e/c eyes stared curiously at the film.

"It is to indicate the "end" of a person's life," Undertaker explained before he glanced at the girl. "What is your name?" 

"I don't feel ob-ob...obgated to answer that," the girl stumbled at the hard pronunciation.

Undertaker laughed softly... wait he never laughed... He gazed upon the child who stared at the dead man before poking it with her finger. 

"Don't touch it... it's dirty," 

The girl looked up at him... he was quite tall, her eyes studied the man in front.

The white/silver-haired man wore a pair of half-framed silver-square glasses, a black trench coat, a white dress shirt, a black tie and a pair of black gloves and shoes. As the wind whipped back his long hair she noticed that he had black ear piercings.

"Why does the "end" state if the person is dead or not...," The girl asked, after a moment of silence. 

"The end states that the person has no memories and so there is no continuation," Undertaker noted. 

"Does the person really have an end?" She mumbled.

"What...?" Undertaker asked slightly dazzled. He didn't know how to answer the question... he stared once more at the cinematic record as he thought. 

"Is there a real end in people... after you cut that film off... is that really the end...?" The girl carelessly asked. She spoke in a quiet tone of voice, her voice unwavering as she stared at the tall and imitating man.

Undertaker seemed lost for words as he looked at the child before he narrowed his eyes. 

"Who are you," He asked. 

"Just a child," She answered before she let out a smile.

That was the fateful encounter of the two...

As years past they grew closer... at first, Undertaker avoided the child who just followed him here and there as he went through his list. But he soon learned that the child's name was Y/n... and Y/n learned that the man's name was Undertaker... or Adrian Crevan. He learned that she was a demon-angel and she learned that he was a shinigami... and they told each other about themselves...

The small child showed more childish emotions that brought a smile on Undertaker's face... Her eyes were no longer lifeless... she showed him how to laugh... and she also laughed more... together they were like family... Together they consoled each other... and sometimes even fought... very severely... like until they were on the verge of death sometimes... though a young age her power matched evenly with Undertakers.

But Undertaker knew there was something more growing inside of him as she grew older and matured into a young lady. He couldn't stop thinking about her 24/7 and he couldn't help but want for that smile to be his... just his... even if for a while he wanted her to be his.

Y/n helped Undertaker destroy the headquarters of the shinigami realm, she wore a hood and had a big smirk plastered on her face. She had lots of fun with Undertaker that day... but soon... she drifted off... she wanted to explore... it was like a baby bird leaving the nest for the first time... Undertaker didn't want her to go but he held no power over her to stop her... 

A few months after destroying the headquarters~

"We'll meet again soon!!" Y/n chirped as she bounced around him in circles. 

"I know... we better," Undertaker smiled as he gently patted her head.

Y/n slowly turned around to leave...

Undertaker's POV

I watched her turn around... she looked like she was hesitating on something... she stopped for a moment before she started walking again...

I smiled softly... before my mind could comprehend what I was doing my hand already grasped her arm and swung her to my arms... embracing her warmly. 

I'm glad that you can't see what my face looks like...

My heart aches... 

So for just one last time... let me hug you

Let me express all my love through this hug...

Even if you won't understand...

Y/n's POV

I hesitated... is it really okay for me to leave like this...?

After all those years with him... can I leave like this?

I stopped for a moment hesitating if I should turn around... before I started walking away.

A large warm hand grasped my arm before my body was swung around towards someone's embrace. Undertaker wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly... his chin rested on my shoulders. 

It would have been a lie if my heart didn't pound fast like this before...

The warm I felt when he laughed... when he showed emotions for me...

What is this feeling...?

It's different from what I felt with my human family... 

I want to be with him but I feel as though I shouldn't...

I patted his back lightly before I finally walked away... from him.

Why does my heart feel so... heavy... as if it's sinking...?

Why does it hurt?

...

No one's POV~

The films kept playing after that but no one was paying attention to them...

The four turned towards Undertaker, his eyes reflected the light as he examined them... he now knows...

He knows that she had also loved him... Could it have been different if he had stopped her and confessed... if he taught her what love was...? 

Could she have been his?

Sebastian saw it... the way Undertaker looked at Y/n as she was younger... he had never noticed... sure he knew they somehow knew each other and were pretty close but he never had thought Undertaker loved... no still loves her... He gritted his teeth as he let out a menacing growl.

"Why... Why did you attack her?" Ciel asked, his eyes darkening as he still stared at Y/n's unmoving body.

"If I were to fight her face to face... it is no doubt that one of us dies... so it is better this way...," Undertaker said after a moment of silence, though his tone was strict the emotion in his eyes told otherwise...

'I didn't want to keep hurting her as I fought... she is not dead...,' Undertaker thought as he let out a sigh.

"I guess now that the strongest is eliminated... I should start the real hunt...," Undertaker murmured before he lifted his Death Scythe above his head... the green light enwrapped itself around the scythe drawing everyone's attention... nobody noticed as Y/n's finger twitched...
