So heres chapter 6! Sorry if it seemed a while but I didn't have as much free time as I usually do.
After the leaving the dining room that evening, Grell rushed upstairs in order to get to bed and out of everyone's sight before the potion wore off. She couldn't bear her darling Sebby finding out the truth of who she really was, the butler to die for Grell Sutcliff. The dinner that night had been fairly silent, the earl hand't even bothered to ask 'Grace' anything about herself. He obviously didn't care and the sooner she was out of his mansion the better. Nothing much had happened between Grell and Sebastian after their kiss. After noticing it had almost been 7 1/2 hours since she had last drunk the potion, Grell told the earl she felt tired and would like to go to bed. Ciel allowed it and the demon had escorted the red head back to the guest room. Just before entering the room, Grace gave the demon a small peck on the lips followed by a wave and a 'goodnight Sebastian'
The red head woke up that morning and sat up in the crimson bed of the guest room. Just by looking down, he knew that he was once again male. He sighed in dissapointment, knowing that he'd have to take another dose of the disgusting liquid. He was caught by suprise when he heard a knock on the door. It suprised him so much that he jumped into the air and landed on the floor in a heap on the oppisite side of the bed. He poked his head over the bed towards the door. There was another knock, then there was a familiar deep voice that could be heard.
"Miss Carter" Sebastian called. "May I come in?" Grell's eyes widened. He couldn't let him in, not when he was like this. He jumped to his feet and grabbed hold of his jacket, pulling out the green bottle of potion.
"Uh...just a second.." He called out, trying to make his voice sound as feminine as possible. "I'm not decent!" He exclaimed. "Don't come in!"
"Very well m'lady" Sebastian answered from behind the door. "But I would just like to inform you that the young master's fiance will be visiting so he will not be requiring as much of my assistance. So he has asked me to tend to your needs for the day." Grell jumped in suprise and ran to the door to lean up against it.
"Really?" He squealed happily.
"Yes Miss Carter" He answered, a light chuckle could be hear as he spoke. "I shall await for you in the hall"
"Very well Sebastian" Grell said, trying his best not to squeal in delight. A whole day with my Sebas-chan! Once he heard the footsteps of Sebastian, telling him that the demon had left, Grell rushed into the bathroom and drunk a dose of the potion, coughing and spluttering at the awful taste.
"Bleeegh!" He choked. "I forgot how horrible that stuff was." After changing back into her womanly form, Grell rushed to the wardrobe, knowing that Madam Red had kept a few dresses there. She opened the wardrobe to see an aray of gorgeous dresses. All in the same wonderful colour...red. Grell beamed happily at the choice she had to pick from. They all looked equally lovely but one caught her eye. It was a red corset style dress with black lace and a long black bow that trailed over the back. She smiled and pulled it out of the wardrobe before slowly slipping into it. She looked at herself in the mirror and clapped happily at what she saw.
"Perfect!" She squealed, swishing it back and forth. The red head then rushed to the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup.
Sebastian was waiting in the hall for the red head to appear. He was glad that the young master had allowed her to stay as he'd never felt this way about a woman before. Although Sebastian began to doubt whether she was a human like he first thought, that's what made him so interested. Her scent seemed to be familiar to him, like he knew what it was. It definately wasn't a human, he began to think perhaps she was some kind of demon, but the words that kept popping into his head were...Shinigami. He doubted that she was a reaper since she didn't have a death scythe and a Shinigami wouldn't accept an offer from a demon, their enemy. Sebastian was cut off from his thought when he heard the clacking of heels from the top of the stairs. He looked up to see the red headed female stood at the top of the stairs.
"So.." She giggled flirtaciously. "How do I look?" Sebastian smiled softly.
"You look wonderful" He answered. "Like a beautiful red rose." Grell blushed and giggled.
"Thank you Sebastian" She said as she made her way down the stairs. "But I must ask..." Sebastian said with a confused tone. "Where did you get the dress?" Grell frowned.
"Oh I'm sorry!" She said guiltilly. "I just saw it in the wardrobe... and it looked so pretty... I just-"
"Please do not apoligise" Sebastian said calmly, taking hold of her hand to calm her. "Just do not let the Young Master see you in it." He warned her. "It belonged to his deceased aunt."
"I will." Grell assured him. "Anyway, Sebastian..." She said fluttering her eyes. "What are the plans for today?"
"Well it is completely up to you my lady." He answered. Grell giggled and flicked her hand.
"Oh Sebastian! Call me Grace..."
"Very well, Grace" Sebastian said, a crooked smile on his face. "Now what shall we be doing?" Grell placed a finger to her chin in thought.
"Hmmmn..." She pondered for a moment before she gasped, an idea popping into her head. "I know! How about we go for a picnic?" Sebastian blinked in suprise.
"A picnic?" Grell nodded and clapped her hands happily.
"Yes Sebas-chan! It will be so romantic!" She squealed. Sebastian thought to himself...Sebas-chan? Where have I heard that before? "So what do you think?" Grell asked. The demon looked at the red head and smiled politely.
"If you wish to have a picnic my darling Grace, then I will prepare a picnic fit for a queen." Grell giggled.
"Oh how wo~nderful!" She sang happily. "You really know how to treat a lady."
"Unacontrary my beautiful lady. I am just one hell of a butler" Grell smiled flirtaciously.
"I'll say." She said winking at the black clad butler.

Ronald dragged his feet down the halls of the dispatch, a hangover making him miserable, his head pounding. Perhaps the drink wasn't the best thing to do. Even though he would go out drinking most days, he never usually felt this bad after a drinking session. He doubted he would make it into work, but the thought of overtime caused him to drag himself in. He suddenly heard a familiar gritty voice call out.
"Hey Ronno!" Ronald looked around, rubbing his head to notice it was Eric. The blonde Shinigami had a smug grin on his face, telling Ronald that he knew something.
"What is it Eric?" He muttered.
"You didn't half say some wierd stuff last night buddy!" Ronald's eyes widened. He didn't think he had said anything bad, but come to think of it, he couldn't remember anything. He didn't even remember getting home.
"L-like what?" He asked. Eric chuckled and folded his arms.
"Well first you went babbling on about some random shit to do with Sutcliff..."
"What did I say about Sutcliff?" Eric shrugged.
"Dunno..couldn't understand half of it" He said. "Then you said about having an arguement with Will-Sempai and telling him that you knew more than he thought" Eric burst out laughing. "It was hilarious!" Ronald scowled.
"I'm glad you find it funny Eric...Because my head is killing me!" Eric guffawed.
"That would be from falling over and knocking yourself out the pavement." Ronald blushed in embarrassment. "Me and Alan had to take you home."
"Sorry..." Ronald said in embarrasment.
"Ah don't worry about it Ronno!" Eric chuckled. "You would have done the same for me or Alan right?" Ronald nodded.
"I guess so..." He shrugged.
"Anyway," Eric said. "I better go find Alan" The blonde man began to walk the other way down the hall. "See you round Ronno" Ronald continued walking towards his office. How much did I tell Eric? Is he keeping some stuff from me? He will never let me live this down!
As he walked down the halls, another thought popped into his head.
"Where's Grell?" He asked himself. The two toned Shinigami looked in the red heads office and couldn't find him, so he decided that perhaps he would turn up later. Giving his head another rub from the headache, he made his way down to his office.

Sebastian had prepared a picnic for the red head and was now sat in the gardens with her, enjoying the time to himself for a change. Grell was happily chatting muching away at a ham sandwich. The red head looked at the demon and smiled appreciatingly.
"This is very kind of you Sebastian." She said softly. "Nobody has ever doen something this nice for me before."
"I find that hard to believe my lady" Sebastian said, smiling. "A lady like you should always be treated in this kind manner." Grell blushed and kissed the demon on the cheek. Sebastian watched as the the red headed female
"Grace.." Grell looked at the demon.
"Yes Sebastian?"
"I have been wondering ever since you came to the mansion...the first time I looked at your eyes...I knew you weren't human." Grell's eyes widened.
"W-what do you mean?" She said nervously. "Ofcourse I'm human" She scoffed nervously. Sebastian shook his head.
"You have no need to hide it." Sebastian said calmly. "I can tell by your scent" He explained, leaning in closer, making Grell slightly uncomfortable. At this point, the demon would have attacked 'Grell'..what would he do to 'Grace'? "But I couldn't detect what scent it was... but now that I have seen your eyes I know...Shinigami." Grell jumped up onto her feet at the sound of the word 'Shinigami'.
"I ...uh..."
"Well that explains everything.." Sebastian chuckled. Grell scowled slightly.
"What do you mean?" Sebastian chuckled and stood on his feet.
"I mean that your reaction just explained everything...You are indeed what I thought you were Shinigami." Grell's eyes widened. "I shall tell you just in case you haven't noticed yet that I am a demon...contract demon to be exact" Grell knew that already but tried to look as shocked as possible. "Now I have been honest with you, Grace..." He looked at the red head with an innocent look. "Now are you going to be honest with me?" The demon asked with a soft tone. Grells stared at the demon stood before her and sighed defeatedly. She felt like this was it. If knew she was a Shinigami, he would get rid of her...and worse if he found out she was indeed Grell the Shinigami. The demon's gaze at her was too much, she crossed her arms nervously and gave in.
"It's true..." She whimpered. "I'm a Shinigami..." Sebastian grinned.
"I knew it" He said in a soft but smug tone. Grell looked into the demon's eyes, feeling as if it would be the last time she would see them.
"I guess your going to throw me out now, huh?" She mumbled, looking down at her feet. Sebastian blinked in confusion.
"Why would I do that?" He asked, making the red head turn to him with a confused look on her face.
"But...I'm a Shinigami.." She whined. "Shinigami and Demon are enemies...We should not be together."Grell felt slightly stupid at saying that...'Grell' would have never cared about something like that. Why was 'Grace' worried about it? Sebastian sighed and took the red heads hands in his.
"Incase you have not noticed." Sebastian said softly. "I do not take orders from anyone apart from my young master. Unless he forbids me from seeing you, you will still be here with me." Grell blushed.
"Really?" She squeaked. "But what if the board fin-" She was cut off by Sebastian's lips meeting hers. The contact made her forget what she was saying, causing her to just kiss him back. Ah it couldn't have been that important... The red head wrapped her arms around the demons kneck, deepening the kiss. This was like heaven! She had been waiting for what seemed like centuries for this moment and now it was happening, and she couldn't be happier. She slightly pulled away and looked at the demon with an innocent look.
"Soo.." She mumbled. "I'm not leaving?" Sebastian chuckled.
"Not unless you want to leave" Grell shook her head almost instantly.
"No! I want to stay here!" She hugged the demon tightly and rested her head on his chest. "With you my darling Sebby..." She mumbled so quietly that Sebastian didn't hear.
