So…I'm gonna be releasing a bunch of chapters for this story! At least four! I'll be condensing the jack the ripper case arc into one chapter because it's not entirely important to the story, only one part is. So enjoy!

Jack the Ripper

Celeste stood beside Ciel as she waited for Sebastian to open the doors to Ciel's study. They were in his town house in London, and though she'd always wanted to visit it, she thought it would've been better if she had stayed back at the main house, just to make sure everything went smoothly.

As Sebastian opened the door, everyone froze.

Their stood a women and two men, standing in the middle of a messy office, complaining about not being able to find tea.

"Madam Red?! Lau?! Why are you here?!" Ciel exclaimed after he had gotten over his shock.

Madam Red glanced over at Ciel and was about to say something but stopped when she caught sight of Celeste.

"Oh, aren't you just the cutest thing!" she squealed, rushing up to the blushing girl, squishing the poor girls face with her hands. "Ciel, wherever did you find such an adorable creature!?" Madam Red gushed, glancing back at her nephew.

Ciel stared at her in surprise, watching as his maid was cuddled to death.

"Oh~ you are just the cutest little thing! What's your name sweetie? Where did Ciel find you?" she shot out questions, one after the other.

"Madam Red!" Ciel interrupted, stopping her from suffocating the poor girl with hugs and questions.

Madam Red blushed sheepishly.

"Ah-ha…I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself! She's just too adorable!"

"Um…I…I…my name is Celeste Diamante! I-it's nice to meet you ma'am!" Celeste bowed.

Ciel and Sebastian looked at her in surprise.

It was the first time she had ever said her last name.

Ciel filed this little tidbit of information for later, his interest in the girl peeked, while Sebastian's eyes narrowed.

'Diamante…? Why does that name sound so familiar…?' he thought, before he was ripped out of his thoughts by Lau.

"Oh…but I must agree with Madam Red…you certainly picked a beautiful girl as a maid…" Lau said, walking closer to Celeste.

The girl, in turn, backed up.

"O-o-oh…uh-um…th-th-thank y-y-you…" she stuttered out. For some reason this man scared her.

"Lau! Get away from her! You're scaring her!" Madam Red yelled, thwacking him.

"But I was only stating a fact!" he said, easily dodging another blow to his head.

"Stay away from her!" Ciel snapped, a piercing, rage filled glare directed at the Chinese man.

He held up his hands, backing away from the frazzled girl and angered Earl.

"Now, now, no need to get upset." Ciel growled at him and Madam Red eyed her nephew curiously.

Ciel huffed, ordered Sebastian to get tea, and turned to walk back into the room, leaving everyone else to follow after him.

As Celeste stood and listened to what they were discussing, she felt her stomach squeeze at what this 'Jack the Ripper' did to these poor women.

Soon enough, she found herself outside of a shop called 'Undertaker'. They walked into the shop and out of a coffin came a man with white-grey hair, with a scar running from one side of his face to the other. He was also wearing all black.

"Hi, hi….I knew that you would come. Welcome Earl…" the man stated in a creepy voice.

Grell, Madam Red, and Lau all backed up with fear evident on their faces, while Sebastian and Ciel remained unaffected, but Celeste felt her breath catch.

There was something oddly familiar about this man…she felt as if she knew him.

He seemed as if he was about to go on, but when he caught sight of her, nothing came out.

The longer they stared at each other, the feeling of recognition grew, until finally, Ciel stepped in between them, effectively blocking their view of each other.

Ciel levied a glare on the Undertaker, not exactly enjoying the way the man kept staring at her.

"I see you've gotten a new maid, Earl," he said, a smile gracing his lips.

Ciel's glare turned fiercer.

"I didn't come here to play games, or for formalities Undertaker."

The Undertaker chuckled.

"Yes…I know…"

Celeste shook her head and let out a sigh. She really just wanted to leave already.

.

Celeste stared in shock at her master. Ciel looked as if he was about to have a panic attack.

Ciel was dressed in a pink dress with lots of bows and frills, a pink top hap, and he had two pigtails attached to his hair.

Celeste blinked.

"You…you look nice master," she finally got out, shuffling away from him slowly. "I…I hope you have fun at…where…where ever it is you are going," with that, she turned on her heels and fled.

Ciel reached out his hand, his mouth open in surprise.

"Ah…ah…"

"Come, young master, we must get to the party." Sebastian said, a bemused smile on his face.

Ciel dropped his head in shame.

'Out of all the people who could've seen me like this…why did it have to be her?' he thought glumly as he was led out by Sebastian.

.

Celeste watched in silence as Ciel and his aunt played chess.

She noticed that Ciel had been in a sourer mood than usual, and it all had to do with the newspaper that he had been reading earlier.

Grell ran past her as Madam Red yelled at him because he had made the herbal tea salty.

She felt bad for him, he kept getting yelled at because he kept messing up.

Sighing, Celeste left to complete her work.

.

Celeste slipped on her nightgown and let her hair out of its bun, brushing through it.

A knock sounded from the door and she stared quizzically at it, wondering who it could be.

"Yes…?" she asked, peeking out the door. "Eh? Madam Red?! Mr. Grell? Wh-what brings you here?" she asked, surprise coloring her tone and face.

She wasn't given an answer as a second later, she was knocked out and the last thing she saw were shark like teeth.

.

As Ciel and Sebastian were talking, they were interrupted by the sound of a scream.

"Wha-?! But no one went inside!" Ciel exclaimed.

"Let's go." Sebastian said, rounding the corner with Ciel.

Ciel slammed the buildings door open, his eye going wide as he took in the scene before him.

"Don't look!" Sebastian yelled, covering the boy's eye.

Ciel shook for a bit, before finally throwing up.

"That was rather over the top. It's all over the floor…"Jack the Ripper"…no, Grell Sutcliff." Sebastian said, watching as a blood covered Grell came into view.

"N-no, this is…I heard the scream and when I got here, it was already…" Grell started but was cut off by Sebastian.

"Already what? We were always right outside the only route. Just how did you manage to get into the same room as the deceased?" Sebastian asked. "Do you still plan on pretending in the state you're in? Isn't it enough? Mr. Grell…no…even 'Grell Sutcliff' must be fake, right?'" Grell took a step forward. "Please stop the act, Mr. Grell. Though I must say, it's the first time I've encountered a 'human like you'. Didn't you act so convincingly?"

Grell lowered his head for a minute before looking back up, a crazed look and smile on his face.

"Heh. Is that so? That's correct! I am an actress! And a top rate one at that." As he said this, he began to change his appearance. "But aren't you the same, Sebastian?"

"This is the name the young master has given me. I am Sebastian at the present."

"Oh, the role of a faithful dog! Even though a handsome man or a loyal dog is also nice~" he pushed up his glasses. "Then allow me to reintroduce myself, Sebastian…no…Sebas-chan! I am the butler of the Barnett family, Grell Sutcliff! We're both butlers, so hello!" he blew Sebastian a kiss and Sebastian prickled in disgust.

"Ah~ I can finally appear before you in my real form! Because isn't it embarrassing to appear before a handsome man with no makeup?! It was my first time seeing a demon as a butler, so I was very surprised at first!" Grell continued.

"This…aren't you the same?" Sebastian questioned. "I've lived long enough. I've never heard of 'that kind of person' becoming a butler. You, who should have stayed neutral between God and humans…Death God." Grell never lost his smile. "On the other hand, you are more or less a 'god'. Why did you choose to become a butler?"

"Don't say it like that!" Grell said. "Though I guess you can say I was captivated by a woman…" Ciel perked up at this.

"That woman is…?" Sebastian questioned.

"You don't really have to ask, do you? Sebastian." Out of the darkness came Madam Red and she stood in the doorway of the apartment.

"Madam Red…" Ciel said, moving Sebastian's hand away from his face.

"My calculations were wrong…who would've thought the person to uncover Grell's identity would be someone by your side, Ciel…" she said.

"From the very beginning, your name was on the lists of suspects. However, Madam Red, your alibi was perfect." Ciel stated.

"How terrible, Ciel. You would suspect one of your own?"

"As long as there is a possibility, I don't care whether the person is blood related or a friend." Ciel told his aunt. "In the list of suspects, any 'human' could not have done it. The same applied to you, of course. But if the co-criminal is not human, then that is a different matter." Ciel continued. "To be able to access Maria's room without us noticing, you should have the ability to go to the murder scene from the Viscount's place, right? And then, to disappear from the party for a few minutes, is something people would not notice…the ones able to be 'Jack the Ripper', would be the both of you…Madam Red, Grell Sutcliff!" Ciel kept talking, telling them how he figured it all out.

"How unfortunate…my cute nephew…my sister's son…if you hadn't discovered this, we could have still played chess together…however, I'm not going easy on you anymore!" Madam Red yelled.

Grell suddenly pulled out his death scythe and charged at Ciel, only to have it blocked by Sebastian.

"Wha…what is that?!" Ciel asked.

"In order to capture souls, all death gods have their own tool. Its name is 'Death Gods Scythe'." Sebastian explained. "This is my first time seeing this sort of thing…it truly is a troublesome thing…" he muttered.

"A regular scythe is so old fashioned, don't you think? The one I'm using was especially made to order," Grell started. "This 'death god's scythe' I'm using will play a duet with the soul's last moments! Of course I guarantee it's first rate!" Sebastian stood protectively in front of Ciel as Grell continued his rant.

"Death Gods should quietly capture the souls that are about to depart from this world. Butlers are supposed to follow their master like a shadow. To violate these two principles like you have, makes me want to throw up." Sebastian deadpanned.

"Hey! I really tried my best as a butler to serve my master! I even worked without my makeup or dressing up!" Grell whined.

"How shocking…and you still call yourself a butler?"

Grell smiled widely.

"Even if I'm like this, I'm still a butler of Death!" he declared.

"In the name of her majesty, and my own wretched name, I command you!" Ciel took off his eye patch. "Capture them!"

"Alright." Sebastian answered, taking off his coat and placing it on Ciel, shocking the boy.

"Are you sure you want to attack us?" Madam Red asked, a small smirk making its way to her face.

Ciel glared at her. "Why wouldn't I?"

Madam Red's smirk grew as she stepped back into the building a bit, reached down, and yanked something up.

Ciel's eye widened, as well as Sebastian's eyes.

In Madam Red's arms was an unconscious Celeste, with a knife pressed to her throat.

Ciel took in her form.

She was in her night dress and her hair was out of its usual bun and he noticed that her hair cascaded all the way down to her feet, a fact which surprised him and he resolved to ask her about why she kept her hair that long later.

"Celeste!" Ciel yelled, and the girl began to stir slightly. "Let her go! She has nothing to do with this!"

"On the contrary, she has a lot to do with this." Grell said, turning to the side. "Since you took and have something the Madam and I want, how about we take away something you want?"

Madam Red dropped the girl to the floor and backed up. Grell quickly took off and Sebastian followed him.

Celeste groggily looked up and let her eyes widen in horror.

There above her was Grell, his Death Scythe blade poised, ready to strike down at her.

Thump. Her bottom lip began to quiver. Thump thump thump thump. His blade swung down. BA-THUMP.

"NO!" she creamed, covering her head with her hands.

Grell stopped moving, his eyes wide with shock. He collapsed onto the ground, his body shaking and twitching as if he had been paralyzed.

Everyone watched in shock and Sebastian felt his own eyes narrow.

'That energy…could it be…?' deciding to dwell on it later, Sebastian quickly grabbed the now, again, unconscious Celeste and jumped back to where his master was.

"Grell…are you okay?" Madam Red asked.

Grell nodded as he slowly got up, his eyes narrowing in on the unconscious girl.

'I'll have to look up her records later.' He thought.

"That's quiet an interesting maid you've got there, but enough of that. Shall we get back to our little fight?" Grell said, smirking.

Sebastian frowned and placed Celeste onto the ground and Ciel immediately knelt down next to her.

Sebastian got into a fighting position just as Grell be can to charge.

-Somewhere Else-

"Oh dear…I would've hoped that she would be around here but I guess not…" Esmeralda muttered as she took in the decaying house.

"Oh where are you child? Why must you make finding you so difficult! Honestly!" the woman huffed, placing her hands on her hips.

A gasp escaped her lips as a shudder tore through her body. After a few seconds, she relaxed.

Narrowing her eyes, and turning on her heels, she rushed out of the house and into the direction that she felt the energy.

'I hope I'm not too late!' she thought, gritting her teeth. 'Do not worry Celeste, I am coming for you!'

And that's it for this arc! It wasn't extremely important, that's why I skimmed through it. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
