Chapter 10

"What exactly are you doing, Lady Jaynne?" a warm familiar hand that saved her turned out to be one of the reasons causing her to jump.

"Sebastian? You saved me? What?" Jaynne looked up at the taller man who she thought of as her enemy. She turned disappointed, thinking that it would've been Ciel to save her but it never came to her that Ciel might not like her.

"So…" she laughed half-heartedly, trying to lighten up the situation, "Does this mean maybe you don't want to have a showdown and decided to give up Ciel to me forever?" She smiled up at him hopefully. Jaynne wanted to cover up what she was doing before but Sebastian wouldn't buy it.

"No, you see, I am not just a butler, but a gentleman," he looked down at her and placed her gently on the floor, "It would not be a fair showdown if my love rival forfeited. So I will not allow you to jump off this roof, nor damage yourself in any way. I'm leaving Lady Jaynne. But I will be watching." Sebastian snickered as he pushed her back into the room, then jumped off the roof himself, landing silently.

Jaynne looked down at her hands. She decided that if she was going to participate in this competition, she was going to win. Ciel would be hers.

"Grelly Beans," squealed Rebekka as she waved their interlocked hands up in the air, "He he. You know, like Jelly Beans?" She looked at Grell who was smiling and showing all of his spiky teeth. The air was calm as the sun hid behind the clouds. This day couldn't get any better.

"Aw, that's cute," Grell giggled, "I love nicknames."

"Oh, how about Reru? Grelly Beans or Reru-chan. You know… Like Gureru…. Reru?" Rebekka was not making sense but Grell thought it was funny. Rebekka's tongue almost twisted while saying Gureru too many times. They continued to walk down the street on the way to Ciel's house. They wanted to talk with him about the showdown, Sebastian, and Jaynne.

"Hmm… I'm still thinking up a unique nickname for you," Grell blushed as she put her arm around his shoulders. Rebekka wore heels today so she could be the same height as Grell. The citizens stared at them a bit strangely but she didn't care what people thought.

"It's okay, take your time… I don't like nicknames that much," she thought of how last year her friend had nicknamed her "Ahi" meaning "tuna" in Hawaiian. She gazed at his hair and noticed that it looked like he spent a lot of time on it this morning.

"Grell," she drawled as she brought him closer and kissed him. She couldn't feel happier now as she shared a kiss with the one she loves.

"Mmm," sis cheeks turned bright pink, "Wait." He pushed her away gently but with enough for to break apart their kiss.

"What, you don't want to kiss?" she said questioningly. It was queer to her. Lovers kiss, right, Rebekka pondered and paused to watch what Grell wanted to say.

"No, I do, but this is the Victorian era, and we're not married. Girls have reputations you know," he looked around to see if anybody on the street saw them. Rebekka thought Grell didn't mind it like her but she though wrong.

"You care too much about what other people think," Rebekka flipped her red hair, throwing all her attention at Grell instead of the pedestrians.

"No I don't! I know that I'm better than all of them," Grell smirked, thinking he'd won as he licked his lips.

"Diva," Rebekka taunted and poked his nose.

"What?" Grell, not liking to be called diva, stuttered with shock.

"Just teasing, Grelly Beans," she stuck out her tongue while twirling some of his hair, "You're so sensitive. Man up."

"Ha ha, very funny," Grell voice had a sarcastic tone and brought up his courage and looked at her, "You are such a weird girlfriend."

"Thank you, sir!" she saluting him, "You're quite freaky as well, sir!" Out of the corner of her eye, Rebekka spotted something ahead, "Oh, there it is! Phantomhive manor up ahead!" She grabbed his hand and dragged him inside and laughed on the way.

"Rebekka? Grell? What are you doing here?" A scowling Ciel looked at them and he really wanted to call in a certain butler to dispose of them.

"Oh please, I'm not here for your butler anymore," Grell scoffed, waving him off and put his arm around Rebekka's waist, "We're just here to talk to you."

"Talk to you," chimed Rebekka in a repeat. She gave Ciel a smile but Ciel couldn't tell if it was an evil smile or not.

"About what?" Ciel continued to scowl, suspicious about their moves. The last thing he really wanted was these two in his own home. A destructive chainsaw-wielding grim reaper and the other crazy red head partner who was always trying to kill Sebastian. He's was too busy worrying about what Jaynne was doing locked in her room.

"Wow, you are very good at scowling," Rebekka stared at Ciel's face, wondering if Jaynne thought it was hot when he scowled. She had tried scowling before but it was never as good as Ciel's.

"Ahem. Back to what we were going to say," Grell glared at Rebekka, who laugh nervously and couldn't help herself when it came to insulting Ciel, "We're here about the showdown. Sebastian. Jaynne."

"Reru-chan," Rebekka appeared behind Grell and hugged him tightly, making him gasp for air, "I don't want to talk to this scowl-face." She tried to kiss him but Grell covered her lips.

"Bad girl," hissed Grell, turning around. He was actually trying to be serious as he reached and took the nearest object off the table next to him. "Here. Play with this."

"YAAAY, DUCT TAPE!" Rebekka screamed as she sat down and began to examine the sticky gray tape, "Has this even been invented yet?" Rebekka tried to think back but she was way too distracted by duct tape.

"So anyway, Ciel," Grell turned back to his main objective, ignoring Rebekka who was on the floor duct taping her mouth closed as she hugged his leg, then beginning to duct tape herself TO his leg. "Jaynne… She's going to fight in this showdown for you. Against Sebastian. She probably won't win, even if Rebekka and I help her. You know that because she is doing this to win you, she likes you." Grell raised his eyebrow, awaiting for his answer.

"So what if she likes me?" the boy who repeatedly said he could not love replied coldly. He had decided to shut off his heart but there was something tugging on that lock. Ciel walked around Grell and Rebekka, trying to get to his own business.

"Don't you like her back?" Grell's smile turned into a frown as he watch Ciel stop in his tracks. Ciel felt his heart begin to race in his chest. The Shinigami was right… She did make him feel… Different. But as he had metioned multiple times, he could not love. He did not know what he felt toward her. Not love, but – something like it.

"Ugh. Fine, Grell. I'll tell you how I feel about Jaynne. Come closer," Ciel smirked and pulled his collar close to his face.

"Okay, last one," Grell cut the final piece of tape off his leg with his scissors, "There." He sighed, making a note to himself – never give Rebekka anything that's… Well… Never give Rebekka anything that she can use destructively at all. Which excludes almost everything. Rebekka and Grell found Sebastian in the garden, crouched behind a bush.

"I wonder what challenge he is going to suggest. Remember, Jaynne gets to pick a challenge, Sebastian gets to pick the second, and Ciel gets to pick the third. Best two out of three will win. And it can be anything from a fighting to cards to chess to a whack-a-mole contest," Rebekka whispered quietly to Grell.

"Whack-A-Mole?" Grell inquired, he never heard of whack-a-mole before but he was sure it was Rebekka's idea. Rebekka remembered that it really wasn't invented yet and shrugged.

"Oh Reru-Chan. So much humor is lost on you," she sighed, putting her head on his shoulder.

"It looks like he's practicing karate or something," muttered Grell, "Maybe his challenge will be a fight." They examined Sebastian throwing punches and kicks in the air at a tree but not damaging its trunk for some reason.

"Hmm, yes. I'm going to guess that Jaynne's is going to be a chess tournament or something," she whispered to his ear. Jaynne was going to use her special two move trick that had beaten Ciel but it was also a disadvantage because Sebastian watched each of her chess games.

"Yes, I do presume that Lady Jaynne is going to try to use a childish game in our showdown," Sebastian leaned over the fence and looked at the two who were spying on him. He had an extremely scarring smile plastered on his face while uncovering what his favorite red-head were doing behind his back.

"Oh, hi Sebastian… Didn't see you there..." Rebekka twiddled with her sleeve, looking up nervously. Grell clutched her close to him and glared daggers at Sebastian for the first time.

"Sebastian," He growled through his clenched teeth, "You don't deserve Ciel. Jaynne does."

"Oh, yes, that's what you think. But I think differently," he smirked, "You see, Jaynne has no hope in winning my challenge. And even if she wins her own, I doubt she will be able to beat whatever sick game my bocchan stirs up. You see, he is very good at making up games." Sebastian gave a cruel and taunting smile.

"And there's nothing you could do to stop me, if I win. Which… I will."
