The party was filled with people! Our small group stayed at the table we were assigned to. Supposedly we weren't just invited but there was work to do even here. There were two targets here tonight. Undertaker, Ronald and Grell were here for support, and William was here to supervise, but nobody sticks to plans, do they?
"Shit!" William whispered to us across the table. "At this rate, we will never be able to get them. One of us will have to do a distraction." He said looking at the four of us.
"What do they both have in common?" Ronald asked, it almost sounded like a stupid question, and Grell burst out laughing. Undertaker just smiled and giggled, I looked at all three and then back to William.
"Well," he began to blush, "They are very, how do I put this? Ehh, attracted to young females." He just couldn't stop blushing, I giggled at that one. Undertaker looked a little mad for some reason, and pulled me closer, while Ronald tried to hold back laughter.
"I see~! Then I shall-"
"Sutcliff, you will not be doing anything. I hate to say this but Miss Ankoku, this is in your department." He said looking down at me, I ever so slightly leaned further into Undertaker's grip, William's eyes were so scary!
"Right, I-"
"I refuse to let her go." Undertaker broke in.
"But I'll be fine! I can fight you know."
"Kimori is Right, she can fight~!" Grell said wiggling in his chair.
"Indeed." Said Ronald sipping his drink.
"Then it's settled." Will said encouragingly.
"Fineā¦" Undertaker growled letting me go. I stand up and smile.
"Don't worry, I have a perfect idea." And before they could ask I was out in the crowd of people. The song had just ended, so I walked up to the musicians and I ended up with a violin in hand. They all left except a cellist. I smile standing on the stage, and most of the people looked up to see what the hold up of the music was. As soon as I got most of the peoples' attention (especially the targets) and I began to play. I was an ok violinist; I had learned when I was little of course. As I play a nice interesting song the cellist tried his best to pitch in. I began to walk down the stairs of the stage, all the people cleared a large space for me, and sure enough the targets had pushed into the front row. Everyone was mesmerized by the song.
This particular song was somewhat short, but I didn't plan to do another. As soon as I finished I handed the violin to its owner, curtsied, and ran off into the crowd. The targets followed me, and I ran to the rose garden. William guessing my plan ran after as well. Grell, Ronald and Undertaker followed. Myself feeling prepared took out my scythe (it was folded up and attached to my upper right leg under my dress so it was hiding.) I had my back to a corner as the two approaching me I snap it open quickly. One of the two flinched and took a step back. The other just laughed. I feel the presence of my friends nearby. Now knowing that back up was there to catch me if I fail I could begin. I dart forward, slashing both easily. Their Cinematic Records began playing. I finish them with our usual order of what we do.
William came around the corner, the others following. Undertaker obviously had expected the worse stopped and stared then smiled. Grell had latched himself to Ronald and Ronald was staring at William. I just swayed slightly back and forth. "Miss Ankoku, I do believe you did have a good plan. Now that this is over lets go back to the library. I'll get a cleanup crew out here ASAP." William said nicely, he turned around and was about to leave.
"No, no Will," Undertaker said laughing. "I do believe I still need to have at least one dance before I leave." Everyone, even I looked at the giggling and swaying Undertaker.
"Fine, I know you know how to get back to the library, so come when you're done. Ankoku, Sutcliff, Knox, do come now I still have paper work for you all to fill out." Grell and Ronald started walking with worried faces, obviously not wanting to leave the fun for paper work. I started off, but someone grabbed my wrist, I look back and Undertaker was the one holding on to me.
"I choose this one." He said before Will and the rest of our group left. Grell began to squeal and dance about, while Ronald blushed. Will just looked slightly annoyed. He waved his hand and left, the others following. "Now come along, m' dear!" he said happily rushing back to the ball, still holding my hand. I was slightly stunned, and then the thought of dancing came into my head. I suck at dancing.
The next song was about to start when we made it to the ball room. He picked a spot for us to dance and the music started. He held on to my hips as he forced me to put my hands behind his neck. I felt slightly odd, perhaps it's because I was taller with high heels on? Well whatever the reason, it was a nice dance, really relaxed. We danced for a little while, when the 12:00 bell rang. I really didn't care the time, I was having fun, and nor did Undertaker. The song ended and a lot of people have left.
"Undertaker?"
"Hm?"
"Do you think it's late enough to get back?" I said lifting my head up from his shoulder.
"Well, perhaps so, but you are a night creature, I thought you would be able to stay up."
"I can if you want to, I'm not tired. But I'm worried about what Will needs to get done."
"He'll be fine. Just one more dance and then we will go home, alright?"
"Fine with me." I said putting my head against his shoulder. We danced one more song and went home.

A month has passed now and I have been working shifts at night and during the day. It usually is a night creature's nature to stay up after all, surprisingly we do not need sleep as often as humans and shinigami. But sadly most of this work keeps me away from visiting my loved one, and spending time with my friends.
"William what is it you wanted to see me about?" I said walking into his office after he bid me in.
"Perhaps you should take a holiday," he said taking off his glasses. "Away from the library."
"No, no! I can't possibly do that. In fact I'm very content with what I do."
"Fine, but I will be sending you on a mission were you will be away then." He said picking up some papers and neatly stacking them.
"What do you mean?"
"In London there has been an issue with day creatures. So perhaps you would like to take this job?"
"Yes, that sounds very appealing to me."
"Well I though because you were a night creature and all you would be able to get rid of them easier."
"Indeed. Now where is this?"
"Sector B 556." My heart stopped. Do you know who lived in that sector? My lover that is. Perhaps I shall stay there while I am doing my job. That thought made me smile.
"I will get right on it!" and I turned to leave.
"I want this completed after 15 days!" he shouted after me.

I really haven't seen much of Kimori-chan lately. She really has been busy. I wonder when I will have a chance to see her next-
I look up from my table surprised to hear the bell attached to the door. I smile; perhaps it is someone I can have fun with. I rush right into the front room and stop dead in my tracks, my smile intensified. And there she was standing in front of me teetering on her high heeled boots with a suit case in her hands. She looked happy to see me.
"Hi! Long time no see. It sure has been busy." She said smiling back at me.
"It has. What brings you to my little shop? I hope Will didn't fire you."
"Nope, he's the one who sent me here for business." She said placing her suit case down.
"Do enlighten me." I said sitting near to her.
"Ohh, he said there were day creatures causing issues down here and wanted me to take care of it." She said opening her suit case.
"I see, so you want to stay here?"
"If that's okay with you." She said looking up slightly worried.
I smile, this was going to be fun, "And how long are you staying, m' dear?"
"It has to be more than 15 days, or that's what Will said." She pulled out a stick of metal and shut the lid.
"Hm." I was now digesting the information, and thinking about plans for things as well.
"Well I hope you have a place for me still." She said batting her eyelashes and holding her suit case in one hand and the bar in another.
"Of course I do."
