Simplest Mistake

Watch it blow my mind

It's something I am ill-prepared to remedy

But let it slow the time

It takes to die and close your eyes to your enemy

Defy!

Alyssin woke the next morning in her own bed, still clothed in the outfit she had worn the day before, a little confused she sat up. The dream she had had and the nights before events rushing back to her at full force, she blushed scarlet, up till now she had no clue as to her and the Undertaker's previous relationship.

Aside from being 'very close' and knowing each other well enough that, according to Grell, 'He had mourned your death immensely enough to quiet his job as a death god and see to it that your funeral was fit for a queen'.

Looking at the clock she realized she was late for work, with a loud shriek, she leapt from her bed and ran to her closet. Finding an outfit, a simple men's white dress shirt, black slacks, and boots, she rushed to the bathroom and showered.

Once finished, she dressed and added a blue ribbon around her neck as a tie, and slipped on her glasses, before rushing out of the room and into the living room. To her surprise Drocell was already there and seated neatly on her couch, tilting his head to the side he smiled slightly, "Good morning, my fair lady."

She smiled warmly, "Good Morning, Drocell! And good bye, I'm late fore work!" She rushed out the door and off to the office buildings.

Alyssin slumped down in her desk, her dispatcher, Oliver White, had lectured her on punctuality for more than an hour straight. Sighing, Alyss picked up her 'To Die' list and skimmed through it, when suddenly someone slammed their hands on her desk, causing her to jump and nearly drop her papers.

"We have to go shopping!" Alyss looked up into Grell's golden green eyes and frowned, "Why?" She asked curiously, the red head grinned and leaned forward, "Its Valentine's day tomorrow and that brat, Phantomhive, promised me Sebastian for a day!" He gushed, nearly bouncing with excitement.

"Heh, ok, we have an assignment together today anyway. We can go shopping after." The pale reaper smiled warmly, before her dream rushed to her mind and she blushed fiercely, Grell cheered, before noticing the blush.

"What's wrong?" He asked, raising a brow, she looked at him surprised and laughed nervously. "Eheh, what makes you think something's wrong?" Grell rolled his eyes, "Womanly instinct is telling me something is up, your blush like a tomato."

Alyss scratched her head, looking away from her friends intense eyes, "I remembered something last night…after you guys left…Undertaker and I were alone…and I…" He leaned closer, narrowing his eyes and grinning, "And what?" He giggled, Alyss blushed, guessing what the red head was thinking. "N-not anything like that! I just…talked him into letting me see his eyes and then I fainted and started dreaming about my past."

Grell giggled again, "Tell me everything while were out!" He said grabbing her hand and pulling her along with him through a portal into the London streets.

Undertaker stood in William's office, having stopped by Alyss's apartment and office to find she had gone already, Drocell sat in a window seat to the right humming 'My Fair Lay' as he usually did. "My agreement to even come back was for her and I to work together…NOT apart!" The silver haired legend paced to and fro angrily, not at all happy with the situation, William sighed. "There isn't much I can do about it…Besides, she's with Grell and he's quite capable of protecting her."

The gray funeral director glared at William from behind his glasses, this morning he had gone out of his way to part his hair out of his eyes, just for Alyssin and now she was not there to appreciate it.

"He kissed you?" Alyssin clamped a hand over her friends mouth, blushing, "Shhh! Not so loud!" She hissed, Grell grinned as she moved her hand, "Sigh, at least now I know a little more…I mean…I don't know…" Grell leaned his head to the side, still grinning, "Well?" She looked at him questioningly, "Well what?"

"Well? Do you like him?" He asked, she blushed harder looking toward the cobblestone ground beneath her feet, she nodded a little. The red reaper grabbed her hands, making the white reaper look up at him, "I know just what to do! We should both get something for our special men for Valentines day!"

Alyss smiled, "Ok, then lets go shopping."

Not long later the two reapers found themselves exploring a local candy shop, this being Alyss's idea because the two of them had enough clothes at home and would certainly be able to pick out something for the occasion later.

[Alyss's POV]

I stood next to Grell, looking in the case at the counter full of freshly made chocolates and other such sweets, fiddling with the ring on my finger, a terrible habit I had developed over the last few months. Grell was closely examining the various chocolate dipped fruits, such as apple slices, strawberries, and pomegranates. "I think I'll get a box with a little of each! I'm not sure what Sebby would like more!" Grell giggled, speaking to the clerk, I glanced around the case, unable to decide on what to get.

"Do you have anything…a mortician could appreciate?" I asked uncertainly, the clerk looked at me oddly, before smiling a little. "Well actually…There was a local mortician that used to come in here frequently and order peanut butter and ginger bone snaps…I haven't seen him in sometime come to think of it."

Alyss stifled a laugh, "I think I'll order a dozen." The clerk smiled and nodded, making both my own and Grell's orders, once finished the tow of us paid and left. Walking along the darkening streets, Grell gushed on and on about what he want to do tomorrow with Sebastian. I giggled softly.

We passed and ally, something white caught my eye and I stopped to look, just in time to see the end of a tail coat. Without thinking better of it I turned and followed whomever it was, thinking perhaps it was the strange shopkeeper who had given the ring, I could her Grell shouting after me.

The figure started to run and so do I, they were fast too, almost faster than me and I was using my reaper speed. They turned corner after corner, seemingly trying to either lose or confuse me, but I held strong, determined to have a word with the stranger. Finally they stopped, finding themselves in a dead end, I stopped some feet away and Grell stopped next to me, looking between the stranger and myself questioningly.

"Hehehe~ I knew you'd follow me, you even kept the ring…Such a foolish girl…foolish now just as you were then…" The figure chuckled, turning the head to look at me over their shoulder, red eyes gleaming, sinister smile spread across their face in a sadistic mask.

I felt myself freeze, my blood running cold, my breath caught.

Alyss took a step back, eyes wide in terror, the dark figure turned fully. Grell knew almost immediately that he recognized this man, but found it inconceivable that he was standing before him, he had seen this man chopped to bits! In Alyss's Magic Play, her memories, this was the man that had killed her in her human life! And been torn to tiny shreds by the Undertaker!

A blue glow caught Alyss's eyes and she tore her gaze down to her ring, it glowed brightly, casting eerie shadows. "Hehe~" She looked back at the man as he slowly approached, "You've been marked to die, again! Ahahaaa! Pitiful little reaper, you should of known-" His voice suddenly turned female and his body with it, his hair becoming short and whitish violet and his eyes turning to a sort of golden amber, "You couldn't hide your sins forever!"

Grell growled, pulling out his chainsaw, "Angela? You creep crappy angel! What do you want?" He asked, glaring at the angel who stood before them, she simply smiled and threw her arms wide. A blinding light filled the ally, both Grell and Alyss shielded their eyes, after a moment if became dark once more…But Grell found himself alone. "Alyssin?"
