"When did it happen?"

The inspector sighed. "We believe about three o'clock this morning…but we won't know for sure..." He trailed off.

"Due to the lack of the body?" Ceil asked squatting down to look at the blood.

The inspector nodded and looked at the butler, who was looking to his left, anxiously. "Mr. Michaelis?"

Sebastian looked at the man and smiled. "Yes, my apologies Mr. Abberline." Ciel narrowed his eyes at the butler, but soon returned to the pool. Sebastian glanced to his right and finally saw what he had been expecting since they arrive at the scene. A flash of red raced around a corner.

"Go."

Sebastian looked down at Ciel who was blankly staring up at him. Obviously he had seen it too. Sebastian nodded and headed for the alleyway. He buttoned his overcoat higher and sighed. A rosy sent drifted into his nose, filling his mind with annoying faces and voices.

"Why are you here?" A small chuckle echoed behind Sebastian followed by footsteps. He did not turn around as the person approached him, the sent becoming overpowering. Sebastian sighed. "You wear far to much, perfume Grell…it's unattractive." He stated unemotionally as he turned around.

The reaper gasped shocked and gripped his heart. "Oh Bassy, you hurt me so!" He smirked, his fags shining in the sunlight. "You're lucky you're good looking." He stated going in for a kiss.

Sebastian sighed and swiftly dodged the red head, letting Grell fall forward and kiss the ground instead. "What did you see last night?"

Grell groaned. "I assume you're referring to the woman on the street?" He grumbled, face still in the ground. "Or the woman that should be there."

The butler rolled Grell over with his foot, now getting slightly annoyed. "Grell…"

The reaper sighed and propped himself up on his elbows. "Of course I saw it, the poor woman was not on the to die list." He sighed. "In fact, she was supposed to live to the age of seventy five."

"What happened Grell?"

Grell sighed, slowly standing up and dusting himself off. "I'm not sure, I didn't see the whole thing play out…though I did see her body when I left…" Grell trailed off and set a finger on his chin. "Odd…"

Sebastian lifted an eyebrow. "You saw the body?"

Grell nodded, leaning against the brick alley wall. "Yes, in fact, she looked as if she had tripped." He sighed. "All sprawled on the ground and screaming for her life." He shook his head. "Pity."

Sebastian folded his arms. "You saw this as no reason to help?"

The reaper chuckled. ""Oh Bassy, you know the rules. I'm not allowed to get involved with humans unless its necessary to my job."

"An unexpected early death is not necessary to your job?"

Grell shrugged. "At the moment, it didn't look like she was going to die." He sighed. "So I finished the collection I came for and left."

Sebastian nodded. "Did you happen to get anything about her?"

Grell smiled mischievously and help up file in a tan folder. "What do I get in return?"

Sebastian's eyebrow ticked in annoyance. "You'll get to live."

Grell chuckled. "Oh Bassy that's not enough, I was promised a kiss from you by your master himself-."

The butler kicked the reaper in the stomach sending him back into the wall and cutting him off. The file floated down to the ground. Sebastian picked it up and smiled at the broken reaper. "Thank you for your cooperation Grell."

"He's been gone a while, hasn't be Mr. Phantomhive?"

Ciel shrugged. "He'll be fine; he's dealing with a witness." The inspector lifted an eyebrow but said nothing more. Ciel removed his gloves and sighed, whipping his forehead, while pondering the pool of blood before him. "How could a body just disappear, with no one realizing?"

"My lord."

Ciel turned around as the butler stopped next to the inspector. He was holding a tan file in his right hand. "Did you get anything?"

Sebastian nodded handing Ciel the file. "Yes, the woman who was lying there was Sydney Ferris. A well known…entertainer." Sebastian said slowly getting his point across.

Ciel closed the file. "I believe we are done here." Ciel nodded at the inspector. "Thank you for your time Mr. Abberline"

The inspector looked at the boy and them the butler in confusion. "But how did you-."

Ciel walked, off ignoring the confused inspector. Sebastian caught up with Ciel, slowing down to the boy's stride. "What did he say?"

Sebastian sighed. "We'll he saw the woman screaming for help in an alley way when he left. He has no idea how the body could have disappeared." His eyebrow ticked.

Ciel smiled. "But you do?"

Sebastian pursed his lips and opened the carriage door for the boy. "I have guess…" The butler climbed in after the boy and sat down across from him.

The carriage jerked forward and Ciel crossed his arms across his chest. "How then?"

"This…murderer defiantly was not human." He sighed. "It…consumed her."

The way Sebastian hissed the words made Ciel slightly uncomfortable. "A demon?"

Sebastian shook his head. "No. Demons, don't consume whole bodies…" He paused. "The normal ones at least…"

"It could be a rouge one. I mean, we have encountered rouge angels and reapers before." Ciel waved his hand.

Sebastian set a finger on his chin. "Possibly..."

The carriage stopped. Sebastian stood and got out of the carriage, holding the door for the boy. They both walked into the mansion and Ciel turned around to face Sebastian so he could remove his coat.

"My Lord…" Both turned around to find Mey-Rin on the stairs, looking completely disoriented.

Sebastian stood up straight and furrowed his brows. "Mey-Rin, are you all right?"

A small sob escaped her lips as she shook her head. Sebastian narrowed his eyes, focusing on the small maid more. He studied her appearance. Her dress was dirty and spotted with blood. Is it hers? Her glasses were broken and her hair was ruffled. Blood dribbled down her chin from a broken lip and nose.

Ciel stepped forward. "Mey-Rin what happened?" He shouted. Obviously he had seen her appearance too. Without another word, the maid's eyes rolled back and she limply began to fall forward, down the stairs. "Sebastian." Ciel commanded.

The butler darted forward, swiftly catching the maid in his arms before she could hit the marble stairs. He sat her down on the ground as a small groan leaked from her lips. Sebastian glanced at Ciel who was staring at the top of the stairs with narrowed eyes.

"Sebastian…" The butler followed the master's gaze to see a black figure looming at the top of the stairs. "I see we have a guest."

Sebastian stood up and sized the figure. A smirk spread across its pale face. He studied the figure thoroughly. Its outfit was similar to his own, though it was a bit tattered and glinted more purple than black. The figures sliver hair was long and fell in long smooth waves to its thighs with bangs that covered the eyes in a shadow. The shadow turned and began walking down the hallway, towards the study. Sebastian glanced at Ciel who was still glaring at the stairs.

"Take Mey-Rin to her room and tend to her." He straightened his coat and headed for the stairs. "Then make your way to the study."

Sebastian nodded and picked up the maid as Ciel began to make his way up at stairs.

Her wounds weren't extensive, besides the broken nose and a few scratches on her legs and stomach. He left Mey-Rin's room and headed for the study. The door was closed and no noise came from the room. Sebastian turned the knob and walked into the quiet, tense room. Ciel was seated at his desk with the figure on a couch to the side of the room, still smiling at Sebastian.

Sebastian looked at Ciel curiously. "My Lord?" Ciel remained silent and stared blankly at him. Sebastian tensed and looked at the creature to his side. "What are you?"

The figure smiled and waved its long hair behind them. "Same as you." The figure answered with a silky and surprisingly feminine voice. It chuckled. "Not a demon of course, but close."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll ask again, what are you?"

The figure smiled and moved its bangs, revealing vibrant gold eyes covered by long lashes. Sebastian tensed. The eyes brought back unwanted memories. The creature smiled, showing off a pair of bleached white fangs where the K9's would usually be on a human. It stood up and glided up to Sebastian. "I want something from you." It hissed.

Sebastian glared. "I can't grantee I can give it to you."

The creature laughed a girly chuckle. "You can though." It looked at Ciel with possessive eyes, making Sebastian clench his fists. Sensing this, it smirked. "Not him, demon." It turned around to face Sebastian, pressing its body close to his own.

Sebastian gave it an amused smile. "Sorry, I already have one psychopath chasing me-." The creature brought it's knee up into Sebastian's stomach, catching him by surprise and knocking the wind out of him. He flew across the room and hit a wall, hard. "Don't be a smart ass with me. I came here to get something, and I intend to leave with it." It snarled, it's voice becoming raspy and low. A foot pressed down onto Sebastian's chest, holding him down with a surprising amount of strength. "I don't want you or your master." It smiled. "Oh no, I want something far more important to both of you."

Sebastian brought his foot up in an attempt to kick the creature in the face. It jumped back and landed behind the master. "You're getting nothing from me or the master."

It growled. "Oh well, can't say I tried." Wrapping its snake-like arms around Ciel it smirked. "Maybe I can persuade you then..."

Realization smashed into Sebastian like a train. The butler sprinted forward towards Ciel and the creature but it was all in vain. At his first step they were both gone. Sebastian froze, his fists clenched and he growled. He had no idea what he was dealing with here, therefore finding Ciel would be a difficult task. He had to find him though; he had no idea what this thing was after either, but whatever it was, apparently was very important to Ciel. That meant it was a priority to keep it from this, thing. Frantic footsteps sounded behind Sebastian, they suddenly stopped behind him.

"Sebastian, what was all that noise?"

The butler turned around to face Bard and Finny, both looking at him in confusion and fear. The butler sighed. "Get your things gentlemen. We are going to rescues the master."

Bard cocked an eyebrow. "Things?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "Oh…those things." Bard looked at Finny. "Come on Fin."

The servants left the room leaving Sebastian alone with his thoughts. His blood was boiling from being left in the dark. Not knowing what was going on, was a new feeling for him. He knew his shadow was showing and probably leaking his true form but he didn't care.

Find me Sebastian…

"Yes, my Lord."
