Lau stared at the silver mortician. "...who are you?"

"That's Undertaker, remember? From Jack the Ripper? !" Ciel exclaimed.

"...ah, him. The one that kidnapped you?"

"No, the freak!"

"But from that case there were so many of them...which-"

"Just get out of my damn house..."

The exchange between the two made Undertaker roar with laughter, he sidled by, tipping his hair respectively at Ran-Mao, and left the room like the shadow he was to society. He heard more yells from Ciel as he traveled down the empty hallway, his steps having a slight springy bounce to them. He peered into every room on the floor and then made his way downstairs where he had set all of his coffins and customers near the entrance hall of the Manor. He skipped in between them and made his way towards the servants quarters.

Though the Manor was a replica of the old one, he still remembered its many features from every crack in the ceiling to the very wood used for its banisters. He was surprised that Sebastian had managed to rebuild an entire property in a short amount of time. Speaking of Sebastian, he stumbled upon his room. He opened the door slowly, its hinges creaking like a rocking chair. The occupant looked up at him from his papers in surprise.

"Undertaker?" William asked curiously, the latter shared the same curiosity, head tipping to the side when he opened it completely.

"...ah...hello."

They exchanged a very tame, calming, and yet an awkward exchange.

"I go exploring the Earl's house and I find you in a demon's room. Is Grell not satisfying? She tells me of you-"

"Just get me home," William spoke quickly, sitting up even more and making his papers disappear,"I'm not tolerating the demon any more and- what are you doing? !" The silver reaper had approached him with such speed that it surprised even William. Long black nails glazed his temples when Undertaker sat next to him, hands at his cheeks and caressing him. "As much as I respect you, why are you so close to me? !" Undertaker smirked, his hand left William's face to touch the bandages around his head. "Ah! That hurts!"

Undertaker snickered,"You complain more than Grell, eh-heh...you gotten yourself a head injury. Don't you think it would be wise to stay here until it heals? Sebastian is taking good care of you, it seems, so I instruct you to stay here. Being swamped with work is a bit unhealthy for a healing mind, whether it be physical or emotional. I will be here as well but only to a certain limit if anything happens, I have a job and hunting demons is not involved in it you know."

He was always one for creeping anyone out, especially former students, but William was a hard one to scare. All in all, Undertaker would always, and successfully, annoy William unintentionally with his demented persona. That flaw was one of the many things that simply pissed Undertaker off. Therefore, now was the perfect opportunity to both humiliate him and creep him out. What more could Undertaker want than to find William with a head injury in a demon's bed, on top of it, the man was doing work! Honestly, but the idea he thought of was dastardly hilarious, guaranteed to earn him a few laughs to last a century.

He got up, leaving William to gawk at him. Undertaker read his expression and laughed quietly,"Learn a bit from this demon, he's on a leash and won't bite...I think. Heh...eheh..." He staggered over to the door. "For the meantime, no more work for you, just sit there and do what Eric does...read." He fumbled through his coat and pulled out a book, he tossed it to William's lap. "Very entertaining, I say." He roared with laughter once more and slammed the door close. He figured that he wanted to explore some more, a smile plastered to his face as he entered the kitchen to see a maid and chef setting up the silverware for the guests.

"...ahn, lovelies~!" Undertaker swooned. "Care to tell a joke to me~? Or would you like a coffin? Hnm~?"

Their expressions was enough to set him off once more. If he played his cards right, he would probably earn a thousand years worth of laughter from just about everyone in the Manor.

Alan was the first to see books flying across and out of Grell's office. The young reaper was making his way for his own office with a fresh cup of coffee until a book flew into his path. He stopped to look inside and saw Grell literally tearing apart his office. Alan dared not wonder what would happen to the entire building if he used his chainsaw. Placing the cup down, he left it near the door as he entered, barely ducking from a lamp being thrown at him.

"Grell!" Alan shouted to him, swerving to the left to avoid a stapler. Grell suddenly ceased, a few papers fluttered here and there when he had a tray of papers out and over his head. Grell's eyebrow twitched and he whirled around, ready to hit whoever interrupted his raging fit. Alan saw that mascara smudged Grell's face from tears, but it gave the red reaper an very intimidating appearance when it was mixed with his sharp teeth. "Ah...um...Grell!"

The redhead slowly but the tray down, his breaths ragged and labored, he was shaking out of anger. Alan slowly advanced towards him, hands at his shoulder. "Grell," he repeated softly,"what's wrong?"

"...wuh...wuh...what's wrong?" Grell whispered back to him Alan nodded. "...Will, that's what's wrong...I...I don't know what to do!"

He heard the pain behind the feminine reaper's voice, Alan's brows creased as Grell wrapped his arms around his head to hold him as if he were a doll. Alan awkwardly hugged him back, patting him on the back as he heard sobs from the top of his head. Grell was a fairly tall man, or woman, so he craned his neck to rest his head atop Alan's since he was shorter. "Um...Grell, want to go get coffee? Someone fixed it now now it works..." From between the sobs, Grell nodded and sniffled. "Just..um...we need to let go if we can go get it..." The redhead clutched Alan even tighter.

He had a feeling it would take longer for Grell to calm down. "...uh, just take your tine, no rush..."
