Okay so, I need to write an extra long chapter to make up for being missing for so long, I needed to get away from Kuroshitsuji for a while as I was getting burnt out. I feel bad, I had starting promising all of you more chapters and everything same day and it never works out that way. Well I found a pretty great muse and I want to let everyone know that my book is going to be published. Yay, I got the publisher to sign off on it so fingers crossed. I love you all, sorry for taking so long.

I am not going to put any more warnings here or the disclaimer, we all know the truth live with it. ;)

There are things in life one longs to do, even though they are forbidden. There are also things one must do, even though he regrets.- Written by my Muse, Only for this story

The clashing and clanking sounds from the inside of the room, it sounded like metal on metal. Which is strange because I don't remember them bringing in anything metal. "Trancy do you hear that, it sounds like metal on metal; but they brought guns in."
"Shit, Phantomhive, the autopsy table in the back. The scalpels are back there, please tell me you reminded me to put them away earlier?" The terror ripped through me as I realized as a matter of fact I did not remind him to put them away, meaning both of us had forgotten and something similar to a zombie had hold of scalpels and was going after the special division with a vengeance.
"We need to help them, we just need to get in there and fast." My mind felt numb and my hands shook as the two of us burst through the door, locking it behind us. We had been correct to come in to help as the two men had become cornered by the contaminated woman and she looked like she planned to take a hunk out of their flesh.
Trancy and I aimed at the woman and shot with trained accuracy, once in the neck; twice in the forehead for good measure. She fell to the floor shudders raking her body, her head dangling off to the side; barely attached as I had managed to tear through her spine with my bullet instead of just getting skin. The two men looked at us in amazement, they apparently hadn't expected us to come back and help; good. I know this is a selfish thing to think at this moment, but I believe Trancy and I just scored major points with the higher division for our team. After all Trancy and I aren't really the highest rank in our own teams.
" Right well, that worked out; we were definitely in a pinch there. Where would you like her?" At least the other division is being understanding, I can't help but think as I look over at Trancy. I just realized something and fought the need to face palm, in all of the haste I forgot their names; I am so terrible with names. It is almost like I never know who anyone is, which can be fun sometimes; except for if you are dating them or in this case trying to.
"Sorry, I think that is one of the few times he has actually shot to kill. Put her on the autopsy table please and the two of us will take it from there, the gloves are on that table over there." I pointed so that they would know which table I was referring to, "there are several different sizes you should be able to find a pair that fits. I guess this is easier anyway, because now we will be able to check more thoroughly for contaminants and poisons, make sure not to make skin to skin contact with her as that seems to be what caused it before. If you could do us a favor and get a hold of anyone that came in physical contact with her so we can screen them, we could do it; but they would get suspicious. As much as I hate to say it, your team is much better at keeping the masses from panicking."
"Come on Claude let's go help the two of them by doing what they asked, by the way. You never gave us your names, we made it out alive; even if we had your help." I fought the blush, remembering the names of the two men again.
"My name is Ciel Phantomhive, you have probably heard of my name as it is pretty famous in the murder divisions; the famous Phantomhive murders." I bowed low forehead almost touching the ground, as I came up to stand straight I gave them a solemn look and stepped back letting my flamboyant friend step up to the plate.
"I am Alois Trancy, I am the genius that takes care of almost all of the deaths around here. I am the one with the famous iron stomach, though I admit even this is a bit extreme. I am also Phantomhive's childhood friend though he likes to disown me on bad days and act like we never knew each other. Now please get out, I have work to do." He curtsied instead of a bow and the turned to the body, I did not even notice him put on his gloves; they were on though as he pulled a mask over his face and started cutting off the womans clothes. "Phantomhive, please stay, the other two don't you have some work you should be doing?"
I always find it interesting when he starts doing this, he always looks like a mad scientist looking over one of his newer experiments. He is also very handsome, in many ways I understand how we could have make it work as lovers; I am grateful that we broke it off though we argued more as lovers than as friends.
I watched the two book it as the mad doctor side of Trancy came out, I don't think it is scary; though to someone who hasn't ever seen this side of him it is a little startling. "So Trancy what do you think it is?"
I would have thought he was ignoring me if not for the small 'hm' he used to humor me. Then he started to babble on dramatically, I felt like I am in a episode of sherlock; 'you see this is most interesting my dear watson'. "This is weird it looks like the person swallowed something and contracted the disease, but that doesn't really make any sense, the only thing I can think of is that this disease effect the throat and esophagus; looks like I am going to have to cut the body open."
At one time I wondered why he never called the body by it's name, he told me it makes it more personal and if it gets too personal he can't do his job right and that is not acceptable. Needless to say I mostly left him alone when he worked after that, unless of course he ever needs me to hand him something. I don't know about you, but a mad doctor holding a surgical knife is not usually my idea of a good time.
"I thought you were already cutting the body open," makes me shudder at the implications; I place the face mask he offered to me over my face nodding in thanks.
"I wasn't I was only making small incisions to see how much of the skins elasticity is left, surely you knew that; now I get to cut into the body. Thank you for taking the mask off of the counter and wearing it, I don't know what surprises we will find in this cadaver." I shuddered at the thought of finding out, I can handle most things; as my current career title shows for. Even the most strongest stomachs can find themselves heaving in Trancy's office, I am one of the strongest stomaches out of the men on our team and I am trying to fight my gag reflex at the stench as he cuts the late Paula open.
A deep grey mist rose from the body, making me snag Trancy and book it; Neither one of us are going back in there until we have haz-mat suits on."Okay Alois, what in the hell happened in there?" My voice came out shaky in between breaths, I couldn't tell if the shakiness is from the near death experience or from post-hyperventelating.
"I think that was meant to be a bomb to infect us, luckily it is contained and that room will sterilize the room before we go back in again; sadly we did not cover her up. Chances are all of the evidence will be gone." I shook my head at his exasperated sigh, he always seems to get upset over the weirdest things; at least we did not get infected and that room doesn't have any ventilation shafts going into it. The only thing it has is the sterilizing system and I could hear it turning on, it is reminiscent of a car wash in sound; I am just glad the two of us got out alive.
I felt a sudden crooked grin on my face as I noticed the two men approaching us, maybe today won't be too bad after all. " Sebastian and I were able to pull the rest of them off of your scent, we told all of the workers that Miss Paula here was caught messing up evidence and was released from duty; no one is allowed to contact her unless they too wish to be investigated and released."
Sebastian nodded at his partner," her absence will be sorely missed, I received a rather strong hit to the face by a young blonde woman; in fact Ciel she had similar features to you."
I sighed, "Lizzy." Her name came out in a growl, a rather impressive one that made both men raise their eyebrows in question.
"Ah yes, I do believe I was told that you had a sister working in dispatch. I know that this is bothering both Claude and I, but why are you outside of Trancy's office and not inside examining the body." He raised a single eyebrow at us, but when I looked up at him he had a very soft look in his eye that I couldn't really place, it looked to be somewhere between worry and fondness; I forced myself not to dwell too hard on it.
"When I opened the cadaver a haze came out of it's body, Phantomhive snagged me and we were out of there as quickly as possible; not soon after that the safety's kicked on and the sterilization process began. I did not have time to protect the body, so i don't know how much evidence will be left." I felt the need to comfort my friend as his appearance changed to a more downtrodden look, but Claude got to him first he patted his shoulder causing Trancy to look up at him.
"There is no weakness in wanting to live another day, afterall now we have something just as valuable; we know cutting them open directly is hazardous and that is is a poisonous toxin that is inside the body. Once the body is open it is airborne, but when the body is closed it seeps through the pores; similar to an open window. This is valuable information, of course it is just a theory; at least now we know enough to make educated guesses and strong supported theories. You have done your job well." Hell, I don't think I could have come up with anything nearly like that. He did calm Trancy down and ended up leaving him beaming.
"Okay, Claude now that we have this strongly supported theory we need to speak with our boss." They turned to leave, only to end up stopping abruptly; "well are you two coming."
This had to be one of the scariest experiences of my life, now we are working with the special division and it hasn't even been that long since we were promoted to our current titles; I wonder what will happen to us next.

Okay that's it for this chapter, sorry it took forever; I have a ton of stories going at once and I couldn't feel this story anymore. I even thought about deleting it, please let me know what you think; if it sounds good than I will continue it. If not I will delete it and move on.
Moving on, I wanted all of you to know my muse has offered her services to write quotes for others stories, let me know what you need and when you need it by and I can get it to you in that time limit. I am also taking story ideas from others, meaning if you want me to write about a different show you like (anime, movie, tv, book) let me know in a review or a message and I will get back to you. Thanks so much for reading, even though I am not sure if I like it or not.
