I finally got round to uploading this chapter! This is one of my favourites, the best uploaded until I get to chapter 11 :D

Enjoy!

C4 - Shi POV

(The following takes place during the events chapter 3)

Undertaker was starting to get excited (if you could call it that). Well, at least he was more alive than usual. He said he was expecting someone 'veeerry important' later on in the day. I actually dread to think of who it might be. Since I had nothing better to do, I went upstairs to 'My Room'.

It was a dark room,with no windows and grey walls, that contained a chair. Miserable, that's what it was. I loved it. All that it contained was an armchair I could sit in, and a cupboard with my very few personal belongings in. I walked over and checked everything, in case Undertaker had been looking through it (again).

A Dark Blue silk kimono was the first thing I saw. It was the first, and last thing I bought with my wages, it took years to save up and import it from Japan. I've not bought anything since, and I've not gotten paid in a while...

The next thing I saw was my blue-handled knife, with vines engraved from the deadly-sharp tip, to the sturdy handle. My horseshoe necklace was laid down at the bottom next to it.

Last, I checked the most important thing the long, dark box hidden at the corner of my cupboard. My Death Scythe. It had a long, black handle that curved in certain areas, leading up to the uniquely shaped top. It was the colour of the bright blue sky on the last good day I went outside. The blade glowed upon my touch. This was given to me by my mother, who was killed by my father.

That brutal bastard.

He had mistreated her beforehand, as had she he, but they had countless arguments day in and day out, until one day he took his silver-tipped scythe and stabbed her through the heart, in front of me. The next day I was taken away by my brother and sent to live with Undertaker. He'd found me a 'job'. To quote his last words to me

'This is the most important thing you will probably ever do. Don't let the guy know what you are. In his eyes, you are just a human, that has been raised by a small, undertaking family in Cambridge'


It's the same old day, with the same old Undertaker and the same old deaths. The only light I could see by as an old candle, so I used it for reading 'Alice in Wonderland'. As soon as I got into the book, someone knocked on the door, (probably that 'veeeeery important guest.')

I'll bet it's the earl again, I thought I peered through the small window in the door. Undertaker was in his coffin still. The young earl was there, along with his butler, a woman dressed in extravagant red, and a figure hunched behind the black-clad butler. Oh look, it's that Chinese man I see walking by occasionally. 'Just a minute!' I shouted, as I ran into the back room to grab something.

The Young Earl is an impatient thing though, so he barged in anyway. The Chinese man opened his mouth to speak, but I interrupted him, playing 'Chinese Chopsticks' on my miniature keyboard. The guy looked confused. 'Sorry, but you don't know how much I've ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THA-'

I stopped in mid-sentence as a maid with long black hair stepped out from behind the tall butler. 'SHI!' She shouted, her eyes lighting up I start playing really dramatic music on the keyboard, then drop it and shout 'Jinsei, I've not seen you in years! Gosh, the things we used to get up to. Hey, remember that time we got really drunk and bought that gir-' She hushed me,

'Shi!' She hissed, 'My employers are right there!'

'Ooooh, sorry'

As me and Jinsei were talking, Undertaker slid out of his coffin. I felt compelled to play the Jaws theme. So I did. 'I bid ye welllllllcome, young Earl... Has your lordship finally decided to step into the coffin I made especially for you?'

'I think not. Today I am-'

'You don't need to put it into words. I understand very well what Milord wishes to say. She wasn't a "Client" in the "Ordinary folk" sense of the word. See, I cleaned her up riiight nice and pretty.'

'... I want to hear about that.' 'Then let's have a chat, shall we? Take a seat.'

They looked around and looked confused. They still didn't understand where to sit, so I ushered them to sit on a coffin that I knew (thought, at least) was empty. Undertaker began 'So, you want to hear about Jack th-'

'My Milkshake brings all the boys to the yard!' Jinsei and I shouted in unison, then promptly had a giggle fit.

Ciel said 'Well, they seem to be friends. Let's hear what you know, Undertaker.'

'Aaaah, not so fast! What about my payment?' Undertaker grinned.

Lau stepped in. 'I have money with me, how much would that be?' I looked over and saw that Ciel had the keyboard and was playing Chinese chopsticks. Undertaker said 'Oh, I don't require the Queens money. Bestoow upon me the choicest laughter!'

The woman in red pushed through and boldly announced 'I Madam Red, star of social skills, shall WOW you with one of my epic tales!'

'Oooh?'

Half an hour later:

'And his **** was in his ****, and then he ***** all around the ****!'

Undertaker was not amused. Lau stepped up to the challenge. 'Don't worry, they don't call me the SHANGHAI TIGER FOR NOTHING!'

He cleared his throat: 'A fool on the futon'

We all stared at him is confusion. Ciel sighed 'Fine, I suppose I'll have to do this.' The butler in black rose (Sebastian, I think it was) and said, 'No young master, I shall do this. But I would like to ask that you all step outside.'

Jinsei reluctantly left my side, but Undertaker insisted on my presence. About 5 minutes later, Undertaker was laughing all over the place, and the rest of them came back in. 'Ooh, that was veerrry funny *hehehe* but it was HER you had to impress!' He pointed at me and my bored looking face; as such trivial amusements do not bother me.

Sebastian sighed. 'Fine then.' Jinsei stood in front of him and stopped him from continuing. 'I've known her for years. I got this.' I smiled and Shi.

'Grell, Scissors'

A sound close to laughter, but much, much louder escaped my mouth, and I was left crying with laughter. 'She wins, she wins! Tell them what they want to know!'

'Very well then. Back down to business! *gyagaha*' Undertaker spluttered with laughter. 'For a while now, I've occasionally had clients who were, how do I put this, lacking, you see?'

Sebastian asked 'Lacking? How so?'

'Well...' Undertaker began 'Lacking their innards, that is.'

'So they were missing a kidney or some such?' Lau interjected 'then it's probably a loan shark or the like.' Undertaker grimaced 'Chinese cellar rats think up the most disturbing things.' I decided it was time enough for me to join in the conversation.

'What he means is, the victims were lacking something that only someone female would possess. The Uterus' I walked slowly, menacingly towards Ciel, avoiding discarded coffins. 'But if I were to do this, let's see. First I'd take something sharp and slash the throat. Then, I'd slash just here.' I ran my sharp, black nail just below his belly-button. 'And steal away the Uterus.'

Jinsei stepped in. 'The skill involves in this endeavour not only points towards a professional, but also the lack of hesitation, and the fact the Undertaker got involved proves that it was the work of the Underworld.'
