Obviously I do not own black butler, also excuse me for such a short introduction chapter.
Chapter 01 You must be joking….
Blood, it was delightful, my favorite shade, dripping from the table to the dirt covered ground below. It always matched my hair, and my desire for my wonderful Bassie. I was almost spinning in delight, but that would have to wait….even a girl like me knows how to clean up, much as I detest doing so. Oh well, as long as I kept my fun unnoticed by William I was happy. That control freak threatened to make me one of the instructors and keep me off the field forever. It would bore me too much to think about doing that, although, I would love terrifying the new students, but that wouldn't give me enough of a thrill.
"Grell, I'm retiring you from the field." I cringed; William finally spoke in this 'meeting' of ours.
"But, William, I've followed all the regulations to the letter, I even put up with the demotion you gave me. Why are you doing this?"
He moved out from under his desk with a large stack of papers. I felt trepidation come over me in a swarm this was no mere threat. He was moving me to another department, although why I couldn't understand.
"Our superiors are concerned about you, your obsession with the demon Sebastian is distracting you from your work. You're making a mess and are attraction to much attention, even the top floor has started to notice you." His slow explanation almost brought me to tears.
So, that's what this was really about, the top floor, "Heaven" was angry at me for being in love with a demon.
"If it were not for me Grell, the board would have fired you. I pleaded with them to let you teach at the academy. I know it's not what you would prefer, however, you will get to keep your pension."
I'd heard enough, I was too angry at that point to let him finish his little speech on why I could kiss his shoes in gratitude over 'saving' my job.
"What class am I being assigned too?" I asked.
William stopped his tirade and smiled slowly, "Historical and philosophical beginning of soul collection."
I turned my head sharply to glare at him, "A thought class, you're giving me a thought class?! If you were going to do that, why not just make me teach English for Heaven's sake Will. Why?! You know the only reason that class is passible is because everyone cheats!"
I couldn't take it anymore, my pride and accomplishment as a woman had been shattered, my entire career as a Reaper had just been thrown in the garbage for a desk job that makes brats memorize useless facts that are no use in application. At that I turned on my heel and left his office, grinning as the sudden movement knocked the mahogany desk into William's right knee.
My life was over, my dream was just shattered. As an instructor I couldn't go back to the mortal realm, couldn't see my beloved Sebastian again. I would be landed with a hellish flat next to the school. The only thing worse would be ending up in a dorm again; I didn't even think I could teach the class. I'd forgotten almost everything about it. Damn, not only was I transferred to the worst possible assignment; I'D have to study just to start it, so much for the hundred years of not opening a textbook.
I slowly moved towards the human resources office, the thought of the paperwork I'd be doing for the next three days sickened me. I was going to have to stay up late tonight, I hate staying up late. I'll admit it I'm a very lazy person especially when it comes to desk work and filing papers.
"At least you get to keep your pension." I sneered. If Will thought that he was doing me any type of favor he was sorely mistaken.
