Prologue: The Missing Soul and the New Mission

The Shinigami Hakyen London Branch was busy with reapers coming and going. Some of the reapers were walking with giant stacks of paperwork that needed to be filled out and filed. While others had their death scythe in hand about to go out on assignments they were assigned to them. All in all, a typical day at the dispatch... The only thing missing was their boss yelling.

"SUTCLIFF!" A yell was heard though out the office.

And there it was. Every Reaper turned to one another wondering what Sutcliff had done this time.

A tall man dressed in an all-black suite, with matching tie and shoes, his dark brown hair was slicked back and he had black rimmed glasses framing his yellow and green ringed eyes, was walking down the hall from his office. In the man's hands were files, that seemed to have been recent and old, as he marched to the one reaper to get on the man's nerves, Grell Sutcliff.

The mentioned reaper was the only on in the branch that wore red. His coat was long and a blood red in color, the glasses on his face were red with skulls on the chains keeping the glasses around the man's neck, and his shoes were red and black heels. The only thing not red were the man's pants, vest and shirt. The reaper was just getting back from his night of bugging the Phantomhive's butler when he heard his boss screaming his name.

"Will darling~! What do I owe the favor of your wonderful visit?" Grell asked as he went to hug his boss.

Will, the man in charge of the London branch, took a step back allowing Grell to fall to the floor. "You should know exactly why I am here Sutcliff."

Grell fell face first on the floor with a groan. "I honestly have no clue why you are here Will." Grell went to pick himself off the floor and dust himself off. "You usually leave a note on my door with what you want and then leave."

"I want to discuss a case about the reaping you were assigned." Will handed the old file over for Grell to look at.

Grell reluctantly took the file from Will and gave it a quick scan. As he was reading it an eyebrow rose out of curiosity. "Tom Riddle? How is this relevant to what you want talk about. I reaped his soul years ago."

"I know but it seems that some of the recent deceased souls show him as a 'Lord Voldemort and is killing people again." Will said as he went to fix his glasses.

Grell looked at Will with wide eyes. "That can't be possible!? How is he alive?"

"That is what I want to know as well." Will said annoyed.

As the two reapers were talking the other workers at the Shinigami Hakyen were gathering around to listen in, curious about this new development.

Will turned to glare at the reapers gathered. "If I don't see you all working in the next 10 seconds, everyone's break time will be taken away."

The gathered reapers scattered at the threat since they liked their break time. As the reappears scattered three reapers stayed behind still wanting to know more about the case.

The first reaper was the youngest of the three gathered. He had on the standard Shingami Hakyen Uniform but left the jacket left open. His black rimmed glasses framed his yellow-green eyes. His hair was two-toned and was blonde on top and brown on the bottom. Black gloves covered the young man's hands.

The second reaper to stayed was a young and thin brunette with clear no rimmed glasses, he also wore the standard Shinigami uniform but with a bolo tie with a skull engraved onto the metal instead of a regular tie.

The last reaper was the oldest and had blonde hair like the first but had brown cornrows on the left side of his head. The reaper had on the uniform but kept it casual looking to be more comfortable. His glasses were also tinted blue to look like sunglasses.

"I thought I told everyone to get back to work?" Will said glaring at the three remaining males.

"Geez…Take a chill pill. We were on break and wanted to see what was going on." The reaper wearing the blue tinted glasses stated in a Scottish accent.

The thin brunette frowned at the Scotsmen and elbowed him in the side. "Behave, Eric-san."

"Ow, Alan. I was only making a point." The Scotsmen, Eric, said rubbing his side

The brunette, Alan, glared. "I do not care. Now Apologize."

Eric rolled his eyes at Alan before turning back to Will. "Sorry Spears for asking about the case."

Alan raised an eyebrow. "And?"

Eric sighed. "And for being a brat about it."

Alan nodded at Eric knowing that was the best he would get out of Eric for now.

"I understand you wanting to know more, but ease dropping is against policy regulation. If I catch you doing it again you will be partner less for a month." Will stated.

Eric pouted not wanting Alan to be on his own for a month. Alan on the other hand wanted some help from Will about a different case that Alan was having trouble on. While the three older reapers were talking the two-toned reaper went to talk to Grell.

"So what is going on with this case that William-senpai is so worried about, Grell-senpai." The two-toned male asked

Grell turned to his co-worker "Well Ronnie dear, it seems that a soul that was reaped years ago has come back to mortal and Magical Britain and is causing a riot."

"EH! Is that true William-senpai?" The man, Ronnie, said wide eyed

Will turned to Ronnie with a tick mark on his head. "Unfortunately, Ronald." Will then stepped so he can see all four reapers in one area. "And since you three seem to be interested in this case, you will be helping Sutcliff on figuring this case out."

"Eh? But I don't want too." Ronald moaned

"How the hell are we even supposed to help if we don't know where to start?" Eric asked getting a smack from Alan for swearing.

Will smirked before it dropped. "You will be getting information on this case by going to a school Tom Riddle went to when he was younger as a teacher and students."

Will took out his pocket watch and waited for the information to sink in for the group before they shouted. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!"

"William-san you can't be serious… How are we supposed to do that?" Alan asked looking slightly pale

"I am serious and by Scythe you are all going on this mission." William said with finality.

"But Will~! I don't want to go back to school!" Grell had tears of hopelessness in his eyes. "School was sooo~ boring last time. Plus, I won't be able to see my Sebas-chan!"

"Well you have two options, Sutcliff, either go on this mission or have your scythe taken away and be on desk work for eternity." William stated fixing his glasses again.

Grell went quiet for a few seconds before whining "Noooo~! I love my Scythe.!"

Eric, Alan, and Ronald flinched at the thought of doing nothing but paper work for the rest of their lives. William nodded satisfied with the others reaction.

"Good, not I am going to assign you roles to play while on this mission." William pointed to Eric, Alan, and Ronald. "The three of you will be going as transfer 5th year students. While Sutcliff." Will points to Grell. "Will be an assistant professor."

The four gathered reapers looked at William like he was nuts.

"You want Grell-senpai to be a professor's assistant?" Ron said voicing everyone's thoughts. "I can understand you or Alan-senpai being the professor, scythe even Eric-senpai would be a better choice than Grell-senpai."

"Well unlike you all, I have a dispatch to run smoothly." William looked at Alan and Eric before turning back to Ronald. "As for Slingby and Humphries, I doubt they want to be separated for the mission."

At hearing that Alan tried to fight off a blush that was forming and Eric turned away to see that the wall was very interesting.

"Then what about me?" Ronald asked curious

William rose an eyebrow. "Being a teacher involves grading all of the student's papers."

"Geh… No WAY!" Ronald sat down on the floor being done with the idea of paper work.

Eric rolled his eyes knowing Ronald would react that way. Alan shook his head at Ronald's behavior even though Alan had neutral feelings about paperwork. Grell knelt down and pat Ronald's back knowing how the young man felt about paperwork. Grell was not looking forward to his part of the mission.

William sees that all the reapers have accepted their mission and nods. "Now that everyone is briefed about this mission. I am going to write to the person in charge about letting you all to be transfers into the school." William then remembered something. "I will also ask for an advisor while you guys are there since this is a magic school. I will also need a way for all of you to be able to transform from teens to adults as you please." William turned on his heels and left the four reapers to do as they pleased.

Once William was out of sight the four reapers, Grell and Ronald flop to their backs groaning about the idea of homework and paperwork. Alan and Eric stayed silent.

Alan turned to Eric. "We might want to get our paperwork done now Eric-san, since we don't know how long we will be on the mission."

Eric sighed as he nodded. "Might as well. I don't want over time during a break of school work." Eric turned around and started walking over to His shared office with Alan.

Alan took one last look at Ronald and Grell before turning to follow Eric to their office.

"We are doomed aren't we Grell-senpai." Ronald groaned

"Yes, Ronnie, we indeed are doomed." Grell stated with a groan.

The four reapers were about to embark on their longest mission ever since the disappearing souls debacle.
