The red reaper leapt from rooftop to rooftop still reeling from the adrenaline of her last kill. Though it was technically her job to "kill" and reap souls, Grell still managed to feel excitement from the rush of painting the streets of London a beautiful crimson red with the victim's blood. She knelt atop one rooftop taking in the sight of a beautiful milky full moon. In the strangest of ways, she felt truly at peace on these missions and for one moment could escape the doubtful feelings she had for herself lately.
You see, Grell was no ordinary reaper. While she was biologically male, she felt like a beautiful, feisty woman. And she wanted what any woman wanted: a husband to love, ravage, and support her and the pitter patter of little feet (though the latter seemed much less likely). But Grell constantly went for cold, cruel men who would reject her in the worst of ways. Yet Grell tried her damndest to find love and never give up. One of those cruel men was seen walking down the streets with food he had purchased at a local Asian market. The red reaper grinned showing her array of sharp, pointy teeth and prepared herself to leap at her star-crossed love.
Grell backed up and leaped off of the building aiming right at her sexy demon butler. However, the raven-haired demon new better and swiftly stepped to the side causing Grell to fall face down into the gravel road.
"Predatory mutts are usually careful not to get caught by prey," said Sebastian nonchalantly.
"Oh such cruel words," said Grell, "But I suppose I can forgive my naughty Romeo!" The reaper then leaped onto the butler's back. "So then, has the brat finally let you out on your own for a while?"
"Young master has sent me out to prepare a meal for a potential business collaborator from Hong Kong. I have no time for these little games."
"But Bassy!" the desperate reaper said melodramatically as she held on, her feet dragging while Sebastian walked, "We never spend any quality time together! Besides you owe me 24 hours of your time and I have chosen to use my token now!" she brushed his fingers over the demon's perfect features. "And you are ripe for the picking!"
The demon smirked, fuming inside himself with disgust at the retched creature that held onto him now. "I will have no part in this silly fantasy. First of all Sutcliff, it is biologically impossible for you to bare any children…let alone would it be with me. Secondly, I must tend to my master if you would please excuse me…"
"Please!" Grell cried, "I need my fill of Bassy! Please I'll do anything! Just a simple kiss!"
"Anything?" The tricky demon said turning to face the young reaper.
"Anything at all!"
"Well then," Sebastian smirked, "It would help if you would…" He faked as if he was about to say something, but all of a sudden he kicked Grell, literally, in the butt sending her flying through the air. Grell closed her eyes preparing for impact when she felt nothing at all. As a matter of fact, she felt arms around him.
"That will not be necessary foul demon." Grell recognized the voice of her superior, William T. Spears. "Oh Will!" the red reaper squealed in delight, "You've come to save me!"
Will ignored the excited glees of his former partner (plus the assaults of kisses attacking his face) and roughly set her down on her butt (Grell was sure going to be sore…and not in the way she wanted. "What are doing demon? Come scavenging for another soul?"
"Not at all reaper," Sebastian said with his usual fake smile, "I was just on my way home to tend to my young lord."
"It better stay that way," said Will, wielding his long extendable scythe inches away from the demons foot, "I won't have you meddling with Shinigami affairs or rough handling my workers." Sebastian simply shrugged and carried the groceries to the Phantomhive manor.
"Oh Will!" Grell cried hugging her boss, "You saved me! You really do care!" The brunette Shinigami pushed her off. "We have much to discuss considering your punishment. You know you should not be socializing with such filthy soul bandits! They cause havoc to our very being as soul reapers!"
"Oooo is someone jealous that young Grelly is having some fun with another man?" Grell said smiling, "You know you don't have to beat around the bush! Mmm! Two men fighting over me just makes me…" Before she could finish her gushing, Will smacked Grell so hard across her face she made a little yelp and fell onto the ground.
"Would you quit being so careless?!" yelled Will. Grell has never heard him talk this harsh and loud before and to be honest, it quite scared her (and not in a good way). "It's careless reapers like you that are the reason we are so behind! I am this close to demoting you but you still won't learn your lesson! You will now have to stay until 3 in the morning each day for a month catching up on all the chaos you created!"
"W…Will it honestly isn't that bad…I…I…I'm sure we can catch up…we always have…it's not my fault!"
"Shut up you disgusting whore! Another thing! Your loose reputation is giving us a bad name! Your unprofessionalism makes me ashamed that I once served side by side with you! I have been way too lenient with you! You start your overtime today!" He held up Grell by her long red hair and dragged her back to the dispatch, the poor reaper crying silent tears as they left…
Sorry this was a bit short, but I wanted some leeway to lead us into the story. I really don't enjoy Grell being in pain as I love her soooo much! Note: I am going back and changing all references I, as the outside narrator, made referring to Grell with male pronouns. Yana did not really go into whether Grell actually identifies as female or that is just for fun. But because I believe she does, I will refer to her correctly as any transgender should be referred to. Please feel free to comment and review :)
