Yeeeees chapter 20. We've come so far from the days of 'You people are lucky to get a release this year.' We're now at 'omgsh no release today, THAT'S RARE!' Lol.

'So much for that.' Sebastian as he opened his mouth. "Well….tell me did you see that portrait downstairs?" Sebastian said, somewhat wishing the young lord would say 'what portrait?' so he wouldn't have to say anything.

"Yes, the one with you dressed as a master?"

'Shit.' Sebastian sighed. "Well…that is really quite old…and it's not me."

"Really?"

"Really….well saying it's not SUPPOSED to be would be closer to the truth."

Ciel was suddenly quite interested and he turned his chair towards Sebastian.

"Please, continue."

"The portrait is something…not quite what it seems you see…it's really honestly not even supposed to be here."

"What is it?"

"It's…well I should first tell you about…my first."

"Was it male or female?" The question bombardment then came upon Sebastian. "Was it a demon, or a human."

"Slower please."

"MALE OR FEMALE!" Ciel yelled in impatience. He had waited far too long for answers.

Sebastian sighed. "Male."

"Was it a demon…"

"Ehhhhhhh….It's hard to explain."

"Yes or no."

"Technically no…but god that mother fucker was out of his mind." Sebastian squeezed the bridge of his nose.

"If it's really hard to talk about then…"

"It's not hard to talk about….it's just…that was back when I was young and stupid and looking back now it's…embarrassing."(1) Sebastian ended with a chuckle.

"Alright then. Please continue…" Ciel began getting his papers in order, picking than up and intending to place them someplace else, he got up and-

"Well he was…to put it simply an angel."

Ciel dropped his papers in surprise and had a stuck impression of shock on his face.

'Sebastian with an angel. Sebastian with an angel…..SEBASTIAN WITH A-' Ciel suddenly turned to Sebastian and stared up at him.

"Like I said, it's embarrassing."

"I'm more surprised."

"You didn't expect me to like the innocent jackass types?" Sebastian looked down at him with a smile smirk on his face.

"Is that supposed to be some kind out joke?" Ciel asked, arms folded.

Sebastian shook his head and resisted giggling.

"Anyway, what was this angel's name?"

"His name was…Ash." Sebastian said with a pregnant pause.

"Do you still love him?"

"I never said that love was part of our relationship."

"I see….explain pleas-" Ciel's head suddenly turned towards the window where a six eyed raven gently pecked against the window in a plea to be let in. Sebastian quickly walked past and opened the window and took the raven on his arm, presenting it to Ciel.

"There's no message, no-"

"Oh shut up." The raven finally said.

"IT SPOKE." Ciel nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Yeah I spoke, I'm sick of hearing you humanoid bitches whine and be unable to tell what's about to happen."

"Huh?"

"Sebastian is going to DIEEEEEE."

Sebastian suddenly looked up in surprise.

"LIKE I TRIED TO PORTRAY AROUND 80 TIMES with spontaneously COMBUSTING DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR."

Sebastian bit his lip. He couldn't understand anything….and now a death prophecy?

Another pause went through the room until…

"Just jokin." The undertakers normal voice went through the room and the 'humanoids' let out a sigh of relief. "But you know something really reeeeeeeallly bigs about to go down. I'm getting almost too many dead bodies and have you been to town recently?"

"No, why?"

"You can almost FEEL the apocalypse coming."

"Apocalypse? EXPLAIN THIS TO ME." Ciel yelled.

"You know have you to been too busy getting all cozy and cute to look outside the estate? Some serious shit been going dooooown. People committing suicide left and right, drug trades being held practically in front of the cops, the world might really be about to end…well that's what they're PLANNING anyway…"

Ciel felt slightly guilty and whispered. "If this is true is it because of my relationship to Sebastian?"

There was a loud laugh and Sebastian was slightly worried for a moment.

"Even if it was your fault nothing's going to stop the course of loooooooove." He shrieked and flew off of Sebastian flying in circles. "Ciel and Sebastian sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!"

Ciel's left eye and twitched and Sebastian snatched the raven out of the air.

"Please just explain."

"The shinigami are the ones cause this insanity not you guys….and Sebastian the black plague wasn't your fault."

"Hmm?"

"You were being possessed you know that right?"

"Why are yo-"

"Because some serious shit is going down. I'm coming over soon to give Sebastian some drugs and remember Sebastian, taking that bullet for Ciel was possibly the most amazing thing you've ever done. Keep it in your right hand…and get your asses down to my shop NOW."

"This can wait until later." Ciel said immediately and the raven exploded, Sebastian shook his arm lightly in shock and surprisingly discovered that the purple flames didn't feel normal…they felt ice cold. He looked down at his arm and felt it with the tips of his fingers and looked back up.

Ciel was practically already at the door when Sebastian looked, his coat and hat were put on quickly but neatly and Sebastian felt that feeling that Ciel might just not need him soon…

"We should hurry up and-" Ciel reached back and pulled the fake cat tail off of the pants with a small grunt and threw it aside. "You can continue if you want to later."

Sebastian nodded.

A half hour later…

Ciel entered the shop to discovered the Undertaker sitting in on top of a barrel, legs crossed with him scythe right by him. He was dressed in a striped black and white suit with a black rose sticking out of the pocket on the left side of his chest. On his face were a pair of sliver square framed glasses. He was also wearing three ear piercings on each ear, one with a small black rose indent, another with a black diamond and the last one, a large hoop going through the non cartilage part of his ears, a large skull. By his side was a silver scythe, head down and handle up.

"About time…I was getting bored." The Undertaker's voice was deeper than usual…Ciel stuck close to Sebastian. "I apologize for Madame Red."

"Huh?"

"She's dead."

Ciel's face was stuck in an expression of shock from the sudden and blunt news coming from the Undertaker and then whispered quietly.

"How did she die?"

"That's what I would like to know." The Undertaker got up and took about a large book with 'Angelina Durless'(2) written in red script down the side. "This is her book." He whispered and opened it up with a page, covered in words made in black ink, that ended in a paragraph, dotted with a red skull. The next page was written completely in red ink, and all the pages after that. Ciel looked at the book from beside him while Sebastian stood next to Ciel, observing the boy's facial expressions. "It would seem that the Madame isn't alive but she is and if you look here-" He went back to the page with a red skull ending, "The way she died is scrambled up, It could be anything, same thing goes with the red pages."

Ciel glanced at it and agreed, the letters were all jumbled up and it was unreadable, Sebastian glanced at it and smiled.

"The red page across from it is written in Latin not gibberish." He pointed out, his finger passed over a line. "She rose from her bloody bed, a new power overtaking her." He read aloud. "It would seem that she was killed-"

"We can't assume here." Ciel interrupted. "So far nothing has been what we would assume it was."

"No…it hasn't…" Undertaker said with a sigh and closed the book. "Nene Sebastian~"(3)

With a shiver Sebastian responded, "Yes?"

"I'm gonna kill ur ex-thing okay?"

"Ex-thing?" Ciel and Sebastian both asked.

"You'll see soon enough…if ur as lucky as I think you are." Undertaker closed the book and looked up. "We gotz company."

"Hu-"

Grell came crashing through the door with a scream and tackled Sebastian who could only hiss in disgust at the thing touching him.

Oh Sebastian don't be meeeean~ He's gonna tell you something.

1: Don't you just look back on the crazy crap you did when you were younger or even the stuff you did yesterday and SHUDDER with embarassment and thank god you didn't die?

2:Madame Red's official name to my knowledge.

3: He's saying it like hes a little kid instead of saying 'Hey', but Undertaker always sounds like a pedophile mixed with a weirdo so its creepy
