Night fell down on the city of london and the moon was the only light made in the darkness that was at that moment. The Phantomheive residence was silent. The only sound that could be heard was the footsteps of Sebastian who was preparing for the mornings rituals. Sebastian for some reason could sense something strange was going to happen, he didnt know what and he didnt know when this strange thing was going to happen. He decided he would just wait until it did happen, besides he could handle almost anything that went on in this strange town. After all, hes one hell of a butler.
Meanwhile in the alleys of London a sound of familiar voice humming could be heard on the roof of one of the large buildings. Red boots were tapping in time with the humming. Long strands of red hair were circled around long bony fingers in boredom. The rather bored figure sighed. "hmmf... why are there no interesting men in this city ?" The creature grinned with his shark like teeth "Apart from my rather handsome Sebby ofcourse" He giggled at the thought of his dark demon Sebastien. He then sighed with dissapointment again. He knew he would never get anywhere with Sebastien, but he still hoped. He cupped his head in his hands and frowned. Suddenly he heard a scream of a woman coming from below in the alleys.
"hmmmn.." he thought. " Thats strange. There arent supposed to be any other Shinigami's here tonight.." He said to himself while checking his book for any notice of another Shinigami arriving in London to reap souls. "Nothing..." He thought to himself. So what could it be? He decided he would go and check it out. Grell stood up from the chimney he was sat on and leaped down from the roof where he then landed in front of a body a young woman surrounded with blood , her cinematic record circling before him. He turned around to see a dark figure in the darkness of a corner. All that could be seen was a death scythe made of a Samurai sword collecting the cinematic record and a pair of shimmering green eyes. Grell paused and stared at the eyes of the mystery figure.
"So you're the one who made all this racket..." He said grinning, baring his shark like teeth once again. "Youre a Shinigami right? You must be ..." He asked "Otherwise how would you have a death scythe, and how would you know how to reap a soul?"
The dark figure chuckled at the red reapers questioning. As the dark figure finished collecting the soul, it replied with a voice that didnt really seem to have an obvious male or female orientation to it.
"Yeah, im a Shinigami." It replied. "And since you know what this thing is.." The dark figure raised her death scythe and pointed to it. "You must be one too, or a demon..." Grell Scowled.
"IM A SHINIGAMI! NOT A DEMON!" He snapped. The other Shinigami chuckled.
"Easy red... your face is starting to go the colour of your hair..." Grell's face was indeed turning red with anger. He clenched his fists and stomped one of his feet in temper.
"Then if your a Shinigami...why arent you in the the Shinigami book?" Grell demanded "Your not scheduled to be here miss..sir...whatever you are." The dark figure giggled.
"Lets just say i dont play by the rules" Grell could see what looked like the reaper had winked. Grell calmed down a little. This mystery reaper had an attitude like him...not wanting to take orders.
" I dont want to be taking orders from that annoying Will" She said coldly. "He-" She was interrupted by Grell.
"DONT YOU DARE CRITICISE WILLIAM!" He hissed. He hated people speaking ill of William, even though he did from time to time.
"Oh, have I hit a nerve red?" The reaper asked teasingly. "got a soft spot for the loser huh?" Grell blushed in embarrasment.
"I...uh...I just-"
"Dont worry red" The reaper said kindly. "Ill stop if you care that much..." Grell looked up again into the eyes and asked
"Why are you hiding your face? Come out of that corner..." The reaper stepped to forward to reveal a womaly figure. So it was a woman, a quite pretty woman to be exact. She had long black hair, almost as long as Grells and a fringe which now covered one of her eyes. Her shimmering green eyes were coated with black liner and red makeup smudged on the outside. She didnt have lipstick on but it wasnt as if she needed it at all. She wore a pair of skin tight black trousers with a chain on one of the pockets. Like grell, she wore a white shirt with a waistcoat which was a dark red. She also had a green cape with a large hood. It had a purple border around it. She had black gloves on the hands. She had a pair of black heeled boots which were knee high and laced up the the top. Unlike other Shinigami's, she didnt wear her glasses. They dangled from her pocket. As she exited the corner, she looked at Grell who was taken back by how attractive she was. He wasnt normally attracted to women, not since madam red. The dark reaper spoke.
"Happy now red?" Grell didnt say anything for a while, he gulped and finally asked
"Who are you?" The reaper folded her arms and grinned.
"The name's Robyn" She answered " Robyn Blackmore, Shinigami extrodinaire" She flipped hair back with her hand. Grell looked as she flipped her raven hair back. "So red, you know who i am...who are you?" She asked looking at her right glove noticing a rip in it.
"Grell..." He gulped since he had suddenly forgotten his last name "Sutcliff!" he blurted giggling nervously.
"Well Grell Sutcliff..." Robyn said walking slowly past him then stopping to turn to him. "Coming to find another soul to retrieve?"
"But..." He said rather tempted by the offer." You werent supposed to retrieve that one were you?" He pointed at the body. Robyn rolled her eyes.
"Oh cmon ...what are they gonna do?"
"Well, i was thought like that, like they couldnt punish me..."Grell said "Until they took my scythe away..." Robyns eyes widened.
"C..Can Will do that?...He cant do that..." She asked gripping her scythe. "Can he?" Grell nodded.
"Yes he can..and he will" Robyn looked down nervously then scowled and looked up again at the red reaper.
"Not if he cant find me" With that, she raised her hood which hid her eyes in shadow. Grell rolled his eyes.
"He'll find you...he can track any Shinigami down if he needs to." Robyn's scowl turned to a look of worry. Grell could see she was worried even though he couldnt see the emotion in her eyes. Before he could say anything to console her, William T Spears leaped down before them. He had been looking for the female Shinigami and had watched as Grell was telling her that Will would search for her. Grell jumped in fright and landed on the cold hard ground and was now looking up at William. Robyn stepped back nervously and pulled her hood down to have a closer look at the Shinigami looking at her with anger in his eyes. She gulped. Will adjusted his glasses with his death scythe and began to read from a black book.
"Robyn Blackmore, You had commited the offence of retrieving souls that you were not assigned to." He continued reading from the book " For this offence i am obligated to retrieve you and bring you back to headquarters for your punishment." Robyns eyes widened.
"P..Punishment?"
"Yes" William answered. "You thought there was no consequences for your actions miss Blackmore?" Robyn looked down in shame.
"I-"
"I havent got time for excuses Miss Blackmore" Will snapped "We must leave immediatly if im going to get any paperwork done today." Grell leapt to his feet and looked at William.
"Will!" He exclaimed. William turned to the red Shinigami and rolled his eyes.
"Grell Sutcliff, please tell me your not involved in this." He asked sternly "Your on a short thread now, this will get you in even MORE trouble than you already are!" He continued. "You never learn do you? No matter how many times i save your skin, you still dissapoint me by-"
"Red didnt do anything wrong!" Exclaimed Robyn. Both men turned to her. "He just came to see what was going on...he didnt have anything to do with it Mr Spears..."Robyn looked down at the floor. William scowled at her and adjusted his glasses again.
"Very well." He said while turning back to Grell "Grell Sutcliff, just make sure you dont do anything you shouldnt be!"
"Yes Will" Grell replied, he didnt want to upset Will any more than he was at that moment.
"Come along Miss Blackmore." Called William sharply. After some hesitation Robyn reluctantly followed the Shinigami down the alleys. Grell watched as the two slowly dissapeared in the shadows. What just happened? He thought to himself. That girl who was so beautiful and reckless...he let her get away?...With William? If that was Sebastien, he would be following them. It hit him!
"Wait for me!" He shouted while chasing after them.
