CHAPTER 8: Neah's P.O.V.
'I am absolutely and completely PISSED!', Neah roared in his mind.
I was currently glaring at the emotionless jackass on top of the building.
"William! Oh, William.", Grell shouted with joy and relief. The said person jumped down from the building.
"Have you come to rescue m-", he was about to say before his face met the dirt, causing Grell to drop his scythe. The guy had just landed on Grell's head.
'HOW DARE HE STOP ME FROM KILLING THIS LITTLE BASTARD! WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS!', I thought, seething.
"Attention Reaper Grell Sutcliffe.", he began, opening a large journal. "You have violated several regulations. First you-,"
I blocked out his voice as he rattled off a series of violations the bastard had done. My attention was drawn back to Allen. He was in pretty bad shape.
'And right when I was about to claim vengeance for Allen too.', disappointed, I walked over to where Allen was laying.
I bent down to look at him, brushing white strands of hair from his face. Timcanpy flew from a lamp post and landed beside Allen's head. He nuzzled the side of Allen's face worriedly.
It looked like he had passed out from all the pain and the trauma of watching his memories. His face was pale and looked so sickly. He had bruises under his eyes, most likely from the blood loss and fatigue. Not to mention he was still recovering from our separation.
His hair clung to his face from sweat and tears. The wound on his chest was deep and still bleeding a little. It looked to be sealing up on its own, though. However, to sum it up.
He looked absolutely horrible.
'Good thing we're basically immortal.', I thought, slightly relieved at that fact.
I glanced up at. . . Sebastian was it? He was looking down at Allen from the corner of his eyes, they were glowing slightly. His gaze looked. . . . how should i say it?
He looked hungry. Very hungry.
I glared at him, daring him to try anything with Allen. He caught the glare, his eyes widening slightly as he realized that he was looking at Allen like a cat would a mouse. His eyes went back to Amber and he quickly looked away.
My eyes narrowed at the Butler. 'I'm going to have to keep an eye on him.', I thought cautiously.
°Yeah, I would if I were you.°, Jester said, agreeing. °Try to keep him away from Allen as much as possible. I don't like that look in his eyes.°
'Me neither. If he so much as touches a hair on Allen's head, he's going straight back to hell, where he belongs!', I growled menacingly.
"-and you are in even more trouble for attacking the new recruits.", he heard the jackass-, I mean William, finish with a stomp to Grell's head, causing him to whimper in pain.
I grinned widely. 'Maybe he's not so bad.', I thought. Then I frowned. 'But I still dislike him for stopping me when he did.'
He hopped off of Grell's head and bowed slightly to Sebastian.
"I apologize for all of the trouble this wretch has caused.", he said, not sounding very sorry. "Here, please except me card." He gave a small card with information to Sebastian.
He peered up at Sebastian saying something about bowing to a demon being a disgrace to all Grim Reapers. Sebastian fired back with, actually some pretty good advice.
After that little interaction was done he turned back to Grell. He grabbed a handful of Grell's red hair, and proceeded to drag him across the stone pavement, complaining about even more over time.
He glanced back at me. "Are you and the other coming or not? We haven't got all night.", he said in a monotone voice.
I kind of jumped, surprised. That was the first time he had addressed me since he arrived.
'Its about damn time', I thought angrily.
I turned around, about to pick up Allen, when Sebastian appeared at my side. He was about to reach for Allen's arm to help lift him onto my back. I quickly smacked his hand away before he could touch Allen.
He looked at me bewildered at my reaction. I glare at him.
"Like hell I'm letting you touch him!", I hissed at him. "Don't think I didn't see the way you were looking at him a few moments ago! I'm not letting you anywhere near him!"
I hurriedly lifted Allen onto my back as gently as possible and quickly stepped away from the demon.
I was about to turn to follow William when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around quickly to hiss an insult an insult at the demon. However, when I fully turned around I was instead met with the face of Madame Red, Ciel right by her side.
She looked at me then at Allen's slumped form on my back worriedly.
"W-Will he be alright?", she asked hesitantly, concern etched on her small face.
I smiled kindly to her. "Don't worry Madame. He'll be up and about again before you know it."
She looked relieved to hear my response but still a little nervous.
"Well, I might not have told you this already, but I'm a doctor. So if either of you ever have any wounds, feel free to come to me.", she said softly, with a motherly tone.
"Will do, Madame.", I replied. I looked down at Ciel. He looked as if he wanted to ask something.
"Yes, Ciel?", I asked.
He looked up at me. "Tell me,", he started, "are you related to an Earl. Earl Campbell that is.", he asked.
I looked at him surprised. I thought on his question, thinking about how myself and Mana used to be the original Millennium Earl. His original surname being Campbell.
I looked at him curiously. "You could say that. I suppose he was mine and Allen's father.", I half lied.
Mana was like a father to Allen. And I suppose you could say the original Millennium Earl was Mana and l's father. Technically speaking.
"Why do you ask?"
He looked at me confused. "The whole family just up and disappeared years ago. With you having the same surname, I thought you might have an idea as to what happened to them. My father knew the head of the house quite well.", he explained.
I blinked. 'How could this kid's father have known the Millennium Earl?', I thought.
I shook my head rapidly and focused back on the question he had asked.
"The rest of the family is fine. However, we don't know where any of them are. And the head of the house died recently along with mother.", I said, thinking about my mother. But mostly about the rest of the Noah family, wondering where they were.
'Weren't they supposed to have found us after the Order fell to ruin? Where are they?', he asked himself.
I looked back down to see Ciel with a disappointed look on his face. Then Madame Red stepped closer suddenly.
"You've lost your family?", she asked figuratively and literally.
"Yes. They should have come looking for us a long time ago, but something must have happened when the family went into hiding.", I said.
Ciel's eyes lit with realization, figuring out who he was talking about.
Madame Red owned her mouth to say something then looked down hesitantly.
"Is something wrong Madame?", I asked her.
Her head jerked up to meet my questioning gaze. She blinked for a moment, then her gaze hardened with determination.
"Since you boys have lost your parents and can't find your other family members, how would it suit you if I acted as your guardian until you find them?", she said quickly.
I looked at her surprised. "Are you saying you want to adopt Allen and I?", I asked, not believing what I was hearing.
She nodded. "I've always wanted to be a mother but I will never get the chance to be one because of certain circumstances.", she explained sadly.
Somehow I understood what she meant, my eyes softened. I smiled at her.
"We would be delighted if you became our mother.", I said warmly. "I know Allen would.", thinking about how he never knew his mother.
She brightened up at my answer, a glowing smile on her face. I felt like I just made her the happiest woman in the world.
"Splendid. I'll get everything sorted out for it to happen, but I think your new boss is anxious to leave.", she said, peering over my shoulder.
I blinked and turned around. William was standing a few feet away still holding Grell by the hair, tapping his foot irritably.
I had forgotten he was even here.
I turned back around and smiled at Madame Red. "I guess I'll be on my way"
Then I turned to Ciel and put my hand on his head and ruffled his hair. I smirked. "I looks to me that were going to be cousins here soon."
He looked irritated with me messing up his hair and treating him like a child, even thought he was one.
I turned around and headed over to William before Ciel could retort, waving behind me as I walked away.
"See you both soon~", I sang, then halted. I turned around slowly with a creepy smile on my face.
"Oh, and Ciel?", he looked at me questioningly, a little unnerved at my smile.
"Be sure to keep that demon of yours on a short leash and away from Allen. Or else I just might sent him back where he came from. In pieces.", I said sickeningly sweet.
Ciel nodded his head rapidly in response. I turned around satisfied, sending a warning glare at said demon to let him know I mean business.
He gulped and tilted his head in a small nod. I smile and skipped away towards the still waiting William. He resumed dragging Grell on the stone street with me walking beside him this time, still carrying Allen on my back.
We had gotten a couple of yards until I felt a sudden movement behind us and jumped away, William catching whatever it was between two of his fingers. I looked to see what it was.
The chainsaw. 'Is he trying to kill us!', I shouted in my head. I whipped my head around to glare at the demon.
"I assume you'll want that, yes?", he said, tilting his head as if he hadn't done anything, ignoring my glare.
'SMART ASS!'
"Yes, thank you.", William replied. He let the chainsaw fall and hit Grell in the chest, causing the red head to gasp.
I smirked down at the bastard.
'Surves you right!', I thought.
We continued walking until William decided to take to the roofs, me following closely. I peered at Allen's tired, sleeping face, resting on my shoulder.
I smiled softly. 'Everything will be fine now, Allen. You'll see.'
I looked back in front of me following mine and Allen's new boss, following him to gain our new lives as official Grim Reapers.
I smirked. 'This is going to be fun~', I thought as I ran seeing the sun peak over the horizon.
It was a new day as well as a new life.
