Eric's Alan: I am VERY VERY VERY sorry for the mix up in chapters one and two.

Kimiko: We promise it will never ever happen again

Ronald: *looks and Eric's Alan* This is what you get for being careless

Eric's Alan: I said sorry!

Kimiko: Ignore them and read.

~X~

It had been two days since Kimiko had gone on the assignment with Ronald and she was now beginning to understand why they were all so tired. They were all working non stop with almost no breaks! The small group of shinigami gathered in the lounge once more after breakfast in order to get the assignments for the day.

"There was a demon reported by the Watchers and they want us to go investigate." William started. His body ached at the thought of fighting another damn demon. "We will break into pairs in order to cover more ground but if you find the demon you are to let the others know immediately. It was spotted in Zone A by Mr. Adams." to Kimiko he added "Charles Adams is the head of his division."

"As I am aware." she said coldly,still not forgiving the poor man for his actions against Ronald.

"Sir, Zone A is Phantomhive territory-" Eric started but was cut off by William

"As I am aware and before any of you suggest the cursed pet of that child we have already confirmed it is not him."

"But can't we just leave it to them to deal with it?" Grell asked not really caring about seeing his "Sebby" today.

"I'm afraid not. Now Alan and Eric you will be assigned Zones 4,5,and 6. Ronald and Kimiko will cover Zones 7,8,and 9. Bret and Bart will take 10,11,and 12. Grell and I will handle Zones 1,2,and 3. This should cover the ares around the sightings now be on your way." he stood and,along with Grell, he left through a portal.

Eric and Alan sighed and followed through the portal with Bret and Bart following them.

"Why did it have to be another demon?" groaned Ronald

"Don't know but we should go and get this over with." Kimiko said and the pair stepped through the portal.

(A/N: In this next bit it will be switching which characters are being followed. It will be displayed like so. (EX: -William and Grell- or -Eric and Alan- etc.)

-KIMIKO AND RONALD-

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop the two shinigami searched for any sign of the foul beast they were after. The pair did not speak but simply ran on.

All the while Ronald was thinking'He gave us three Zones to work in! He must have lost it.. No one could cover three Zone in one day while in our condition.'

'I hope their Zones are not as big as ours...' "Ronald?"

"Yeah? What's up?"

"How big are your Zones?" she asked and prayed for the answer she was hoping to get.

One mile each. That is normally nothing for us but in this state I will be shocked if anyone makes it back tonight unless someone finds that thing."

"Why do you have such large Zones? Our Zones are half a mile each."

"You guys have more reapers than us."

"Oh yeah..." Kimiko mumbled. How could she forget that?

-ERIC AND ALAN-

Alan fell to his knees panting and Eric was by his side in an instant "Are you alright?" he asked forcing Alan onto his back and his head onto Eric's lap.

"Yeah...just give me a minute." Alan's reply was rough from fatigue.

"Let's take a quick break." Eric murmured as he ran his hand through Alan's hair.

"We don't have time for that,Eric. We need to keep looking for the demon." Alan tried to stand but his legs would not hold him and he was helped back down by Eric.

"Please rest,my love." Eric pleaded with the stubborn brunette.

Seeing as Eric was not going to give in Alan reluctantly agreed and let his body relax against Eric as the blonde continued to play with his hair.

-WILLIAM AND GRELL-

Grell was lagging behind William "Come on Grell." the black clad shinigami sighed.

"But Will can't we rest for a moment?" Grell whined

"In a bit we can take a br-" he was cut off my knifes flying from the roof. He grabbed the exhausted reaper and jumped onto the opposite roof "I had hoped we would not find you here and yet here you are. Hello Sebastian."

"I must admit I am surprised to find you here as well. There are no souls missing. So do tell? I believe you said anything other then a soul related issued was ours, am I correct?" the black clad demon butler replied.

"Normally yes,but in this case we will be taking jurisdiction over it so please step aside. We have no wish to fight not today at least."

"Sebby please do as he says we are very busy." Grell stepped up next to his lover and pointed his death scythe at the demon.

"Can you stall?" William whispered in Grell's ear.

Grell grinned "You bet! Now go,dear."

William raced away.

"If you want to fight I can accommodate you. Master please step back." Sebastian smiled his devilish grin and lunged for the red haired reaper who,at the last minute jumped into the air and brought his scythe down on the demon,catching his arm and causing a deep wound

-BRET AND BART-

"Bart,my dear brother,did you hear that"

"Brother Bret that I did and I do believe a demon is near. Though,sadly,it is not that collared Phantomhive beast."

"Shall we go after it?" Bret asked while grinning

"We shall." Bart replied with an equally big grin."But first we should let the others know." he raised his scythe and a red flare shot out,this is something only another shinigami can see.

"Off we go!" the two brothers followed the sound they had heard on moments before.

A red flare appeared in the sky above Zone 11 'Bret and Bart.' thought William as he turned and raced in the direction of the flare. He quickly caught up with the brothers.

"That didn't take you long,Mr. Spears." commented Bart "Where's Grell?"

"I was not far and he is entertaining the Phantomhive pet. How far are we from the demon?"

"Not far." Bret answered

-ERIC AND ALAN-

Alan's breathing had become normal again and the pair were now continuing theit search for the demon. Alan paused and pointed to the sky "Looks like they found it."

"Well we should go then." Eric replied and rushed off. Meeting up with Ronald and Kimiko in the process. A roar blasted through the sky and the four reapers quickened their pace. They new that kind of roar. It mean a high level demon was calling to it's minions. The others were in danger!

Eric's Alan: Duh duh duh ddduuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Kimiko: Please review and comment.

Ronald: Any ideas are welcome
