Me- Woo back to the story then! *fist pump*

Ciel- were you high on something?

Alois- Of course she was that's why it's called crack right Author? *smiles innocently*

Me-uh…yea I don't do drugs. *looks weirded out for some reason*

Ciel-yea anyway…never do that again.

Me- why? I had fun!

Ciel- you were in your bedroom the entire time! *eye twitch*

Me- he he he ENJOY!

"Can I tell him! Hu? Hu?" Alois asked wide eyed, bouncing around so much Ciel thought his tea was going to spill.

"That's up to you." Grell smiled back and Ciel and Sebastian watched the exchange with interest.

"Tell me what Trancy?" Ciel asked slowly looking into the Blue rimmed eyes.

"I'm not human anymore Ciel…"

"Pardon? Did you just say you were no longer…human?" Ciel asked slowly his hand clenched slightly around the tea filled beaker

"Ciel, I don't think I've ever been human, a lot less since I came back…" Alois whispered dangerously close to Ciel's face.

"Sebastian! Is what he says true?" Ciel yelled to his butler turning his head sharply away from the overly close for comfort Trancy boy. Sebastian looked Alois over as his eyes glowed softly.

"…I believe so Bocchan, the Trancy earl no longer has the sent or aura of a human." Ciel's one revealed blue eye widened slightly at the news but quickly reverted back to its usual somber gaze.

"In that case I don't believe we have any more reason to be here now that the Trancy earl is found." Ciel said getting up gracefully and setting down his untouched tea down on his previously occupied spot.

"Alois."

"What?" Ciel turned to the blond boy who had spoken and shot him a look of confusion.

"My name is Alois not Trancy, I'm not even sure if I am a Trancy anymore you'd have to ask Grell. Don't go yet, you just got here." Alois pleaded with big ringed eyes grabbing onto the blue haired boys arm.

"Let go of me!" Ciel growled pulling his hand from Alois's grasp and taking a step away from the smiling blonde boy.

"Bocchan…"

"What?" Ciel snapped whirling around to glare at his butler who was held fast by the Red haired reaper who was casually drinking his tea with the free hand that wasn't forcefully entwined with Sebastian's.

"Perhaps it would be in our best interest to remain here. There's another snow flurry scheduled within the next two hours and if we leave now we would surely be caught in it." Sebastian said with his usual smooth smile in response Ciel's low growl knowing he was probably right.

"Fine! You win we'll stay but only until it blows over and not a moment longer." Ciel snapped reclaiming his seat and still hot tea much to Alois's pleasure.

There was thick tension in the air as everyone quietly drank their tea. The only people oblivious to it however seemed to be Grell and Alois. The Undertaker having taken off to somewhere had left the four in his shop with nothing much of a laugh before his departure. No matter how slowly Ciel attempted to drink his tea he eventually came to the end of the surprisingly well brewed cup and had to set it down.

"So Ciel, I heard you were looking for me." Alois said seeing the Blue haired boy set his cup down and flashed a smile at him.

"It was out of curiosity and nothing more; hence now that the mystery is solved I wish to leave." Ciel answered hotly glaring at his butler who was engaging in quiet conversation with the usually hyperactive Reaper. Ciel was so set on watching his butler's movements and attempting to read their lips to see why they were talking so quietly he didn't notice the pale finger slip under the string of his eye patch. He was questioning why Sebastian was putting up with the annoyance when he felt the tug of said finger and the eye patch slip smoothly from his head.

"TRANCY!" Ciel yelled lunging viciously at the older boy who easily evaded his attack.

"I told you my name is Alois not Trancy. For a detective you don't listen very well." Alois teased twisting himself away from Ciel in a rather graceful and fast manor.

"Why are you wearing this anyway? Its not like we all don't know about your contract already." Alois smirked twirling the leather strings around his finger, holding it up to his glass covered eyes for better inspection.

"Give it back Trancy!" Ciel yelled looking to his butler for help and ignoring the contract free tongue Alois stuck out in his direction. Ciel groaned inwardly when he saw Sebastian had been ignoring him the entire time in favor of talking to the red and flamboyant nuisance. Ciel turned back to Alois seeing as Sebastian wouldn't be of any help to see the blonde boy dart past him and hop into the Death Gods lap who in turn gave him a motherly hug like it was a normal occurrence. Ciel would probably put money on it that it was.

"Sebastian..." Ciel said trying to hide his annoyance but could see from Sebastian's amused face it wasn't working.

"Bocchan." Sebastian smiled teasingly at the glaring younger boy.

"Do you need some help?" Ciel only growled lowly in response, eyes widening slightly when Grell huffed and held out a perfectly manicured hand and Alois deposited the eye patch into his hand without a single word of complaint. Grell in turn handed it to Sebastian who also looked quite surprised but unlike Ciel recovered quickly.

"Would you like me to put it back on for you Bocchan?" Sebastian asked dangling it in front of him like a string to a cat.

"No. its fine. I really don't need it right now as Tra- Alois pointed out." Ciel brushed it off with Alois name feeling foreign on his tongue. Ciel took a seat proudly on the table parallel to the three so he could watch all of them at once.

"So…Sebby. What have you and the Brat been up to lately?" Grell asked breaking the start of another awkward silence. Removing his hand from Sebastian's to get a better grip on the Blonde boy in his lap, wrapping him in what could only be described as a motherly hug. Sebastian and Ceil both exchanged confused looks at the two.

"I could as the same of you and Alois…you both seem rather…fond, of each other." Sebastian noted seeing the exchange between the two psychopaths.

"Well, I would hope so Sebby, considering Alois is my adopted after all. Oh! I forgot to mention that didn't I?" Grell took great please in seeing the immense wave of shock pass over the usual stoic butler and his young master.

"Excuse me you said Adopted?" Ciel choked out not believing anyone would want the perverted sadistic Trancy boy.

"The papers were made official about a week ago and Alois was logged into the Shinigami dispatch system officially a few days ago, I really have to get on that cake for Ronnie…" Grell trailed off grinning like the Cheshire cat he was as both Ciel and Sebastian quickly recovered.

"A Death God then? I would have never thought you fond of children." Sebastian mused smiling at the Red Reaper.

"There's a lot you don't know about me Sebby" Grell said giving the demon a flirtatious wink that made both Alois and Ciel visually grimace.

Alois opened his mouth to make a remark when his words were interrupted by the stores two front windows being flung open by a blast of icy wind blowing the snow flurries on the two odd parties who rushed to close them as quickly as possible.

"Honestly why are we still here? It's quite obvious were all cold and Undertaker won't be back anytime soon." Grell growled through his bared teeth throwing the latch down and securing one of the darkly tinted windows.

"Unless you have a way out of here that doesn't involve treading through the snow you might as well stop your pointless complaining." Ciel snapped helping Alois close and secure the second window. Not adding that he was currently chilled to the bone under his layered jacket.

Grell and Alois exchanged looks and a seemingly quiet conversation passed between the two.

"We could go somewhere…it would be warmer…" Grell trailed off wondering why he hadn't thought of it before.

"And you didn't bloody mention that before?" Ciel yelled glaring at the red reaper tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"I don't think Will would come looking for me today being I'm off with Alois and I could just have Ronnie finish up the death list for me being he's out already." Grell pondered ignoring the fuming blue boy who was currently being held down by the blonde one

"Hmm..."

Pleasee Grell I'm cold we can kill those people later right? Your boss won't find out." Alois pleaded with wide eyes hanging onto the reapers jacket and sure enough Alois's fingers were like ice

Fine! I'll just have to call dispatch and tell them we won't be able to make it because your training or something they'll send someone else down hopefully" Grell said making up his mind and moving to the back room to make the call.

"Grell's place? Are you kidding me? Ciel complained loudly but deep down he was happy he was getting someplace warm.

"I don't believe it will kill you bocchan, as they say grin and bare it" Sebastian offered helpfully smiling as Ciel scowled.

"They're not happy but they're gonna send someone over" Grell said, Coming back into the room sliding a black rectangle into his jacket (cellphone for anyone who cant figure it out :D)

"I'm cold lets go already!" Alois whined pulling on both Ciel's arm and Grell's.

"Hang on…" Grell said pulling from his jacket the glorious death scythe Alois had fallen in love with, even Ciel looked at it with something that could be confused with respect. Grell revved the engine and easily swung it through the air catching an unfortunate table in the process but no one really cared about the stupid table anyway.

"Come on Ciel!" Alois said eagerly dragging the startled blue haired boy into the swirling portal with Sebastian and Grell glued to his side following shortly after.

Alois felt his body reform and the startled younger boy stumble slightly when his feet touched the now solid ground.

"This is it?" Ciel asked in a unimpressed tone looking around the obviously red themed room, but Alois could tell he was truthfully happy to be somewhere that wasn't freezing his fingers. Speaking of fingers Alois smiled inwardly seeing Ciel still hadn't removed his frozen hand from his grip.

"Home sweet home…" Grell hummed walking into the kitchen leaving the silent demon and his young master with the hyper active blonde.

"So Ciel want to see my room?" Alois leered squeezing Ciel's hand in his hand causing him to sputter and pull his hand away.

"Wh-What?" Ciel said looking at Alois like he was going to jump him the second they were alone.

"Ohh! I know we could watch TV or play on the computer! There's a local park nearby Grell sometimes takes me too I could let you borrow my jacket and we could have a snowball fight or we could…" Alois rambled on clearly not seeing the dumbstruck look on Ciel's face as he listed off things, some of which Ciel had never heard about before in his life.

TV? Computer things? Converse? Was that a type of board game?

"Who wants tea?" Grell yelled from the kitchen and Ciel, thankful for the distraction rushed away from the rambling blonde much to his visible disappointment.

"Alois! Tea!" Grell yelled again seeing Alois was still standing in the living room where as everyone else was already seated at the dining table.

"I'm coming!" Alois yelled back lightening up as Grell whispered as he walked past they would go to the park later. Alois once again was grateful for the fact he had died in the first place, such an odd thing to be grateful for but as Alois sat down with the others at the table he knew at this moment he was happier than he had ever been with Claude.

To say Claude was unhappy was an understatement, he laid weakly spread out in many different pieces in the old worn shack in the middle of the woods that had surrounded the now burned to ruins Trancy estate. It was only a matter of time before he could become whole again and seek his revenge on the Red haired Reaper who had stolen his soul.
