Chapter 5

That night Kyoya laid in his bed thinking over everything he had learned the night before. He then smiled as he remembered his kiss with Angel. He got up and was about to go over to her room when there was a knock on the front door.

He sighed and walked over to the door and opened it. He half expected it to be one of the reapers telling him that his time has come, but who it really was shocked the living daylights out of him. "Mr. Michaelis, what are you doing here?"

"I am here to see my daughters, I assume that you guys have already figured out our family secret."

Kyoya sighed and led him into the dining room. Once there, they found the host club and Sebastian's daughters eating breakfast and answering more questions.

Angel felt her father's presence behind them and smiled. "Hello father," she said, confusing the other's until they turned around. "What brings you here?"

"Your sketchbook," he said pulling it out. "I had to check and see if you were ok and if the boy was still alive." It was imperceptible to the human eyes, but Angel and Scarla could clearly see the quick glare he directed at Kyoya. "That plus from the premonitions in it, I figured out that they found out about our family secret."

"You're too late to prevent it if that was what you were trying to do," Angel said with a sigh. "So. You wanna help explain powers and stuff to them."

Sebastian sighed and face palmed himself. "I knew I shouldn't have waited." He then walked over and took the tea pot from Scarla and poured her a cup of tea. He knew he was no longer a butler, but old habits die hard. "What do you guys want to know?"

Honey was the first one to speak up. "Is your animal form a bunny?"

Angel and Scarla laughed. Sebastian took a couple seconds to regain his composure. "No. I'm a crow in my animal form. Next question."

"What are your powers," Haruhi asked.

"Fire manipulation, transformation, teleportation, and the ability to move faster than the human eye can perceive." He then waited for the next person to ask a question.

"What did you do to the last person to show interest in one of your daughters," Kyoya asked, partially afraid of the answer.

"You don't want to figure out," he said his eyes turning the same shade as Angel's when she's in her demonic form. Sebastian knew that the boy had kissed his daughter and it was taking all his strength not to tear him to shreds.

"Father. Be nice," Angel said as she stood up and lightly pushed him. "No one has showed interest in me while my father was in the room because they weren't the stupid ones." Angel stared over to Tamaki. "And he doesn't like it when people shoot water at me."

Tamaki thought for a second for a question that he truly wanted an answer for. "What do you look like in your demon form?"

Sebastian smiled as he let his human form slip. His shoes transformed into stiletto boots and his hands into black claws. The rest of him turned to black smoke and feathers. His eyes were a deep red and his teeth were razor sharp. Just as quick as he changed he went back to his human form.

Everyone was impressed, especially Mori. He thought for a few seconds before he came up with a question, but before he could ask there was a large crash before Scarla moaned. "SEBASTIAN," a voice called as a blur of red came tearing through the dining room at Sebastian.

Sebastian side stepped Grell. Causing the reaper to run head first into the wall. "What are you doing here Grell," he asked.

"I have a message for you from William," Grell answered with a pout. "He said for you 'demon scum' to not interfere with his business in this area."

"Interesting, considering his business concerns my daughters."

"You do know that considering Scarla is mostly reaper, her mother can claim custody over her and make sure you never see her again," Grell pointed out causing Sebastian to shoot over to him and grip him around the neck.

"You tell that bitch that I would allow her to see her children if she wanted to. She hasn't shown an ounce of interest in them for the past fifty years so I let her be. But she cannot threaten to take complete custody of Scarla all because she doesn't want her around demonic business."

"I was just pointing out the fact," Grell chocked out a second before Sebastian released him. "Anyways, back to the matter at hand. William wants you to not interfere with his business because he is trying to make it were everyone is happy in the end."

Haruhi stepped up with only one thought on her mind. "How can everyone be happy in the end if one of the host club members will be dead?"

Grell shuffled from one foot to the other nervously. "He is trying to convince the council to give him permission to turn the person into a grim reaper."

"People can be turned into grim reapers?" Kyoya asked, intrigued by this discovery.

"Yes. We usually pick the new reapers from the souls reaped that are the best fit for the job. The only exception to that bit will be Scarla once she decides to take on her reaper duties and start training." Grell sat down next to Scarla and started braiding her hair. "But it takes more than just intelligence or skill to become a full-fledged reaper. It takes both and discipline. So, for now, I think it best if you spend the rest of the break training to become reapers." With this, Grell got out and fired up his death scythe which caused the hosts to freak out and Sebastian and his daughters to laugh at the look on their faces.

"Grell, try not to scare them to death and get Will mad at you for interfering with his job," Angel said as she tried to regain her composure. "Now, let's go to a room or field big enough to train in." She started forward before stopping and turned back around. "And Grell, I think it best to train with a regular scythe instead of your customized one."

"Aww. You're no fun." He set down his death scythe and produced nine death scythes for them to use. Kyoya led them to a large green house that was filled with white, blue, black and red roses.

"This should work," Angel said as she and Scarla summoned their death scythes. "Go ahead and pick a death scythe and then Grell and I will give a demonstration on how it's done." As Grell picked up one of the death scythes Sebastian pulled Angel to the side.

"What are you thinking?" he asked as he looked her in the eyes.

"That I want Kyoya to be prepared for this if the council does make him a reaper."

He sighed as he pulled his daughter into a hug. "Just be careful. I don't want to see you hurt." He backed up and turned back to her friends. "Now, should we get this match started?"

Angel smiled as she and Grell faced each other. "No holding back," she said as she charged at him. He ducked the blow she had aimed at his head and took a swipe at her feet. She quickly did a back flip over his head and struck at his right side. Angel landed the blow with the back of her scythe. Grell hunched over, holding his side before striking back with the hilt of his weapon, getting her in the stomach. She quickly recovered in time to deflect another one of his attacks and disarm him. Then, using both of the scythes, she pinned him up against the wall before backing off and returning his scythe to him.

"That was how to defeat a reaper who did something stupid last time you saw him," Angel said as she sheathed her scythe. "Demons and angels are harder to defeat, especially if they are full-fledged."

Sebastian stepped forward. "The last time I had to defeat an angel was when Ciel Phantomhive, one of my previous masters, ordered me to get revenge on the person who killed his parents. In order to do so, I had to use a lot of my powers and I had to take my demonic form." He then stared at Angel and smiled. "The last time Angel and I spared, I easily got her by mentioning the time when we were in a shop in America and she almost-"

"FATHER," Angel shouted as she blushed, cutting him off. "You said you'll never bring that up outside of private conversations. Plus it was over seventy years ago when that happened." She cleared her throat and Sebastian, Grell, Angel and Scarla spent the next thirty minutes going over the specifics of reapers and their job.

Angel chuckled as she remembered something Grell had shared with her when she was younger. "What is it Angel," Sebastian asked, curious as to why his daughter was chuckling.

"I just remembered something Grell shared with me one night when I couldn't sleep." She laughed wickedly as she turned to Scarla and the others. "One night Grell had to reap some souls at the Phantomhive manor and he was so excited because he thought our father would be there." She laughed some more before continuing. "Well, Ciel and Sebastian had gone into town to investigate a circus that had arrived earlier that week. One of the people he had to reap was a woman in the circus who went by the name Beast." She turned to face her father and saw him glaring at Grell. "Let's just say what Grell saw made him extremely jealous." With a flash of fangs in her smile, Angel went over to where the Hikaru and Karou were laughing.

"What other things has Grell told you?" Hikaru asked as he stared at Sebastian.

"Not much. Most of the times that they encountered has been when Ciel was there, and he was no fun." Angel touched her face with her forefinger and looked up at the ceiling in thought. "Although, there was this time when Ciel had temporarily lost his mind and father prepared him some tea that the recipe used rock salt to add flavor to the drink. Father doubled the amount, then doubled that, then doubled it again."

"I remember that event like it was yesterday," Grell said as he inched closer to Sebastian.

"There really aren't that many funny moments between them when they first met, plus Grell has mellowed out some since we were born," Angel said as she thought of the reapers she knew and held dear as a part of her family. "Although, Undertaker might have some more stories on my father and Ciel, that plus Ciel is still around somewhere in his own contract."

"I thought Ciel was human," Hikaru and Karou said simultaneously.

"He WAS human," Angel said. "Due to a contract that Alois Trancy made with a demon, who went by the name Hannah Annafellows, Ciel became a demon and his last order to our father before was that Sebastian would be his butler until he ate the last drop of Ciel's soul."

"Since demons cannot eat each other's souls, father would have been Ciel's butler for eternity," Scarla said, taking up the explaining. "Luckily Ciel decided to recant his order and let him go because while it is possible for a human to be in two contracts with separate demons, it is not possible for a demon to have two masters."

Angel looked down at her watch and noticed that it was a little before three. "Tea time," she said with a smile and stared at Sebastian. "Father, can you please make some soul's temperature," she said sweetly causing him to smile.

"Anything for you, my daughter." Sebastian then went to the kitchen to and grabbed the things he would need. He quickly made chocolate cake and the tea before putting them on the cart and bringing them into the dining room. Angel was talking to Scarla about how she wanted to visit Undertaker one day during the winter break. "Tea's ready. Today we have Soul's Temperature, also known as New Moon Drop. As a dessert we have chocolate cake with cherries on top and a buttercream frosting." As everyone took their seat Sebastian cut and handed out the cake and tea.

"Thank you father," Angel said as she took a drink of the translucent tea. She sighed as she watched her friends enjoy her favorite pairing, especially Honey as he greedily ate three slices of cake. After a few minutes Angel thought of something that Ciel had told her once when he had tried to contact Sebastian. "Father, is it true you allowed a tiger to bit your head?"

Everyone who wasn't an immortal creature stared open mouthed at Sebastian who just smiled like a loon. "It was an affectionate nip and I was the one who trespassed into her territory." Sebastian stared off into space as he remembered the incident in which his daughter was referring to.

"When is Ciel coming over anyways? He said something about wanting to speak to you about but not over the phone," Scarla said as she ate another cherry.

"He is supposed to show up the day your trip ends." Sebastian stared up at the ceiling in thought. "Although I think it best that we reschedule the meeting to a later date."

Just as Sebastian was about to continue speaking there was a knock on the door before it opened and Ciel Phantomhive came into the room. "Sorry for the disturbance, but there is something I need to speak to Sebastian and his daughters about." He then turned to them and motioned for them to follow.

Kyoya got up and walked around the table to stand in front of him. "Excuse me, but they are my guests here and they will not be going anywhere with you until I see some identification." Kyoya looked down at the black haired boy who had an eyepatch over his right eye.

Angel stood up and went to lean close to his ear. "Be careful how you address a demon who is fairly new to his powers. Ciel might look like a pip squeak nobody but he has one hell of a bite."

This information took Kyoya off guard as the four of them left the room and Sebastian glared daggers at him. "So that boy was Ciel Phantomhive," Kyoya whispered loud enough for everyone in the room to stop what they were doing and stare after them.

"Sebastian, I thought we had an agreement. You are still, technically, my butler, but you could still take other contracts so that you and your demon daughter could eat," Ciel said coldly.

"Oh come on," Angel said in an agitated voice. "What my father does no longer concerns you. His mark has long since vanished from your eye and you just wear the eyepatch out of habit. You cannot demand that he follows your will now since your contract has been fulfilled and you recanted your final order from before you became a demon."

"Angel please, I can handle this myself," Sebastian said as he tried to calm down his daughter.

For the first time in forever, Angel hissed at him. "What will this chihuahua do? It's not like he took time to actually master his demonic powers. I bet he doesn't even know what they are." She hissed again as he tried to place a hand on his shoulder. "I will not allow him to call you back into his service just because he has yet to find a butler as competent as you are." Angel turned back to Ciel as he leaned on the walking stick that he has manage to preserve over the century. "You are not going to take him, and, if need be, I will fight you to the death."

Ciel smiled as he allowed his eyes to shine red. "I'll take you up on that offer. I win, Sebastian becomes my butler again. You win, and I die, permanently."

"NO," Sebastian said turning into his demonic form before grabbing Ciel around the throat and slamming him to the ground. "If you so much as lay a hand on Angel or Scarla, I will rip you to shreds so small that not even Pluto could identify you. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Ciel chocked out. Damn, Sebastian made one scary figure when challenged. "But I still need some help with this new deal and I was wondering if you would help me out since I have no clue where to start with this idiot."

"As Angel said, I am no longer under your control. You cannot make me help you, but I will help you find suitable servants once my work here is complete."

With that they went back into the dining room where Grell was showing off his personal death scythe.

"I will get you back Sebastian," Ciel muttered under his breath as he allowed his eyes to flash their demonic shade of red. "One way or another."
