Chapter 21 ~Decisions and Plans~

`"I've decided to become an honorary guest and have Grell as my butler," Chibi said, "Since we obviously already made a contract." "Then it's settled," Ciel said, "Miss Chibi shall live here with Grell as her butler." "Now just wait!" William yelled, "Grell still has duties as a Grim Reaper!" "You really care more about Grell's job than Chibi's safety?" Lexi asked. "You're heartless" William glared at Lexi. "Like you would know the meaning of heartless, loving that demon everyday" William said. Sebastian gave a dirty look at William. "Lexi has more heart than you'll ever have" he said to William.

"Now hold on," Ciel said, holding his hands in between William and his butler,"let's not start a fight. I'm sure that when the time is right, Grell can go on to his duties as a reaper." "If you really need me dear William, I can always bring Chibi with me," said Grell suggested. "she would be able to see what I do as a reaper,"

"I was always curious about how reapers collected souls" Chibi said. " It is called a cinematic record, not what you humans call a "soul," Will emphasized. He took the defensive route because it felt like she was mocking his entire existence.

"Alright, that seems good to me," said Ciel, "Chibi shall live here with Grell as a butler, but if Grell is needed from William, Chibi can go with Grell if he deems it safe enough." William let out a sigh. "I guess there is no other choice" he said,breathing deeply, moving up his glasses and re-fixing his non-messy hair to reflect his disagreement, "I shall go and have Ronald do your job for today." "Thank you William," Grell said hugging Will, "you're helping me a lot" Grell whispered into Will's ear. With that, William was gone.

Chibi then leaned towards Lexi to ask her something. "Lex, why did William call Sebastian a demon earlier?" she asked. Lexi gave a concerned look, then looked at Sebastian. "I think it's time we told her," Sebastian said. He then looked at Ciel.

"Now is the time to tell her," Ciel said. Sebastian then turned his attention to Chibi.

"Miss Chibi, there was a reason why William called me a demon," he said. "It's because I am one."

"Is that supposed to be like a dirty inside joke between all of you or something?" Chibi asked. Lexi giggled a little bit at her friend's comment.

"This is no joke however," Lexi answered, "he truly is a demon, and he's made a contract with the young master." "He is to be my butler until I achieve my revenge," Ciel said, "once I get it, Sebastian is no longer my butler"

"Which means, I get to eat his soul," Sebastian said. Chibi gulped.

"So does that mean Grell eats my soul as well?" Chibi asked.

"Not at all," Grell answered. "Reapers only collect cinematic records, or souls, from people on their list of souls to be collected. OUR contract only deals with your safety, and I would never want to eat your soul" "Which isn't a bad thing?" Chibi asked. Grell smiled. "It's not," he said. "Chibi, can I see the contracting mark Grell made?" Lexi asked. Chibi then untied a black ribbon off of her neck to showing her seal.

"Wow Grell," Lexi said, "that's actually pretty awesome!" "Why thank you!" Grell said.

"All jokes aside, can you promise to keep all of this a secret?" Ciel asked, "the only people in this manor who know of this are all of us. Mei Rin, Finny, Badroy, or even Tanaka know nothing of this, and we'd like to keep it that way" "Of course," Chibi answered,"I don't even know anyone to tell this to really," Just then, Grell noticed Lexi hiding her wrist.

"What on earth are you hiding?" he asked her. Lexi looked at Grell. "Nothing," Lexi said. Sebastian held her. "Love, there's no need to hide it," he told her. "I guess you have a point," she said. She then turned her attention to Chibi and Grell.

"Sebastian and I were talking, after we found out about your contract," she said. "And I talked to him about making one after his contract with Ciel ended. He said no, but then decided on something else," She then showed her wrist to Chibi and Grell, revealing the seal Sebastian had made on her wrist. "It's only for protection," Sebastian said. "So I know that if something were to happen to her, I would be the first to save her"

"But Bassy," Grell wined, "why on earth would you have to make a seal on Lexi?" "Because there is something odd going around the Trancy manor," Sebastian answered.

"With his harassments on Miss Chibi, we suspect something is going on," Ciel said, "I'm afraid that they may use her and Lexi as bait to get what they want." "I shall be investigating their manor tomorrow," Sebastian said. "Not without me," Lexi said. "Love, it's for yo-" Sebastian said. "You're still not going without me" Lexi interrupted.

"Well if dear Bassy is going, I might as well go as well," Grell said. "I want to know why Trancy is harassing MY Chibi," he then looked at her. "I'm guessing you want to come with as well?" he asked Chibi. "It would be for the best," Chibi sighed. "That would be ok for all of us to go," Ciel said, "Because I received an invitation earlier ago from the Trancy Manor to a costumed ball tomorrow night. He wants all of us to come anyway, which is the perfect moment for Sebastian to investigate."

"I see," Sebastian said. "Should the other servants come as well?" Lexi asked.

"As clumsy as they are, they can protect the manor from any intruders while we're away," Ciel said. "That is true," Sebastian said.

"Well then, everyone should find a costume and get ready. We have some investigating to do tomorrow, Grell I want you on your toes." "Oh of course, that dreary butler is always on the move," Grell said. "Otherwise, we all need to relax today," Lexi said, "so that we have enough energy for tomorrow" "Indeed," Ciel said, "I think this meeting is over with, so you all can do whatever you like." With that said, Grell carried Chibi back to Chibi's room, while Sebastian held on to Lexi's hand. "Let's go to my room this time," he said, "I need your help on a costume," "Alright," Lexi said as she blushed and walked with Sebastian to his room.
