Chapter 25

Suspicions

A-N: Okay, an answer to my little annon... Yes Krisius does know Grell is somewhat demon. As I said in an earlier chapter that the pointed teeth is one thing that gives one away that has been tainted with demon blood. And now I know this will come up, so I will say it now out of saving time sake... Yes Yuuta has demon blood in him, he was also born with said blood, but helping Grell only intensified the blood, yet he has pointed canines a result. The only thing with Yuu' is that he becomes more screwy like a loon.

Okay, and to the other anon, well, about Micha knowing, I will go over that and try and settle things to ease your mind. Trust me..

So I hoped I cleared anything up in that brief explanation. Any more questions please, please, please ask me. I will NOT bite... Well, only if you let me. ^...^

November 2, 1190

William groaned lowly finally happy to have Grell in his arms again. His hands came up to his face tipping his head back slowly. He just stared into those too green and yellow eyes. His lips brushed over Grell's lips fingers stroking Grell's face softly.

"Oh I missed you," He uttered again. "Grell, tell me you missed me."

"So much Will. So much." Grell responded to his touch leaning forward more capturing his lips arms wrapping around his lover, as he felt William's knee go between his legs. "Oh Will, can we...play around?" Grell stroked one hand up and down his back slowly and then his hand rubbed against his chest his finger making small circles on William's chest. "I have thought about something and I want to show you..."

Grell pushed off the wall and walked his lover backwards and pushed him onto the bed. His hand went to his lovers hip and he growled playfully at William. William ran his hands into his hair and tugged him down into a deep kiss holding his head close. Grell lay himself comfortably on William's body and kissed his lips hungrily. He wanted more than ever to just strip the other and take him into his body.

William kissed him deeply his hands gripped in his hair. He soon flipped his underling over and tucked him beneath him, trapping him playfully. Grell gazed up at him not helping but grinning at his lover. "Will, your naughty, your having teacher student relations."

"I am not, I'm having Grell-relations," He quipped and began kissing him again lightly at first and then more deeply. Grell only wrapped his arms around his neck pulling him down as he felt his lovers knee push his legs apart and settle against his growing cock. He pressed against the knee.

Both boys missed the intimacy with each other and were happy to be in the others arms again. The two began to kiss heavily and Grell ran his hands down William's front and then his fingers ventured up the males shirt hem to feel his abs. William tilted his head deepening the kiss their jaws opening and closing perfectly together and their tongues playing into one another. Grell shivered as William's mouth slowly left his to kiss along his jaw. Grell ran his fingers along the sides of William's body.

Tipping his head back Grell offered himself to his lover. His real lover. "Please, Will."

William gave a swift lick and almost bit Grell, yet did not due to the already circulating rumors. He just kissed his neck passionately, Grell drew William's shirt up and then over his head his nose traced the perfect line that ran down his chest, stomach and down toward his groin. William leaned into the nose tracing down his body.

"God, Grell..." William grinned his hands wrapping into the red hair tightly. Grell's hands worked at William's button as he unfastened the button they both kick off his pants. Sitting up he Grabbed Grell's face kissing his lips longing and between each kiss he spoke one word. "Not tonight. I only want to see your beauty."

Grell kissed back every time and and nodded to him. His arms encircling his loves neck hand gripping his back nails barely digging into the flesh. The two seemed impossibly to break apart. William's hands grabbed Grell's ass and hiked him up to his lap pressing their chests together. Grell ground himself into him and moaned into his mouth.

William pulled away reluctantly. "You have school work to do, and I have school and office work."

"Office?" Grell tugged on strands of dark hair. "Hmm, how I that case coming?" He grinned and stared into the teens eyes.

"Hey, now careful, I might have to punish you." He realized his words and his voice became sexual. "Hm, you would enjoy that too much." Grell wiggled on him. "I know you would." He patted the other's ass. "Grell your addicting."

"I know." His mind going to what The Undertaker would say to that. He would say something about the Demon in him. He shrugged it off and kissed William's jaw listening to the little hitches to his breath giving the smallest of bites. He wanted to just stay in here all night with him and not have to worry until tomorrow. He heard William groan for more and that is when Grell bit near his collarbone and began to give him a fair-sized mark.

William grasped the smaller ass and tore his pants to his thighs not caring for his actions. Grell slid off him his lips and mouth still on him and he kicked off his slacks standing in front of his dark-haired man. He slipped back onto his lap he was still nipping and marking the spot. Grell's lips moved up and played with William's earlobe. William's head tipped back.

"God, Grell. We should not." He mearly whispered his mind working but his body and heart was rejecting the logic.

Both teens held tight to each other and fell back onto the bed Grell on top of the younger and ground his hips into him. He did not understand the why he wanted to be so intimate after ripping and tearing humans apart. It was just this animalistic urge to ravage his loved ones. Yet that was already done and over with, but yet he could just smell the death on William. He could smell he was near his work and had seen and examined it very closely.

Unlike Undertaker, Grell was very confident in having sex with Will. He loved it and would do it any chance he could get at. Grell slipped his hand between them and grabbed William in his hand. His hand worked him as their mouths met again. Grell liked when William was hot and heavy in his hands it was so arousing that he almost could not help himself. William grunted.

"Damn it. You shifty fox. So cunning and beautiful." His words quiet against Grell's lips.

Grell lifted just slightly his hand still working him. "Do you want me?"

"That is one sensless question. Of course." He still answered.

Being the tease he was Grell slipped off William giving one last kiss. "But we have work Will." winking at him as he went to grab his satchel. His hips swayed slowly and William watched him as he walked back over and plopped on the bed with their things and grinned. Leaning over one more time to plant a chaste buss on William's lips. "I love you, you know."

"Why don't you show me?"

"Don't play that game with me. I invented that game."

William shrugged as if to say he tried. He took the books he got from the library. He watched them closely and examined the vacant parts even closer. He was growing frustrated with watching the same thing over and over with all the cinematic records. His eyes were starting to droop around two in the morning. Long ago Grell had passed out at the foot of his bed stretched out and snoring now. William only smiled at how adorable he was.

His eyes drooped even more and that is when he saw it. The flash of a black coat. He sat up and gasped flipping back a few pages and watched it over again. He saw it again. He cursed. His eyes searching the page seeing that something was up with it. He sprung out of bed and grinned. "I can't believe it!"

He quickly dressed and grabbed the record and raced down the hall. This was too important to wait until morning. Hell it was morning. He ran bare foot out of the building and to Krisius's office on the other side of campus. Grell would be fine on his own. William made it to the door and pounded on it three times and waited for Krisius to open it.

Finally waiting over five minutes and more pounding Krisius opened the door his hair bed wrangled his torso bare with only stiff night pants on. He squinted at William with out his glasses on. He looked all too grumpy, William did not care he found something of importance.

"What!?" Krisius growled at him. Then he realized who it was. "Will, come on in... you seem to be on a mission. William nodded and waited for Krisius to sit at his table.

"It's corrupted." He threw the book on the table and opened it to the exact page.

"Yes, yes we all know that." He yawned and waved his hand back and forth.

"No, the corruption is corrupted. Look!"

"Go retrieve my glasses and make tea, then explain this to me. Since you had to wake me up to do so."

William did as he was told and made the two of them tea. As he was pouring Krisius his cup, the elder reached forward. "What is... oh." That is when he chuckled. "I see you had some fun tonight Will." His face was somewhat alight as he stared at the mark on William's collarbone. "I am sure I know exactly who did it."

William found himself blushing in front of his superior. "I apologize."

"No need! It happens!" He was awake and like his normal self now. He added sugar to his tea and drank it hot. "Hmm, this is good. Now, what is all this about?"

"The vacant part is like, hmm," He thought how to saw it. "It is like covered or something like that, I thought I did not see it at first since I was so tired. But it is there! Just barely but it is there, they grew careless, Kris!"

The two watched the empty record until Krisius saw the flash and gasped. "My, my, my, good work Will. I am proud of you. I will bring this to attention to the group and I will have this studied and give it to the scientist so they can crack whatever is on here." He grinned. "But that was all we needed was that little flash and you of all caught it. Now all we have to do is just wait for more bodies to show up and the person is careless once again." Krisius kept watching the empty record.

"Well, all I have to say is it has to be a Reaper. No one is able to mess with records unless it is a Reaper, and it has to be some sort of high ranked, because any one my age would or could not do anything like this." William explained.

"Yes. Yes. I suppose you are right." Krisius nodded. He felt with William on the team they would knock this back and out much more quickly. Although it has almost been a year since beginning this case. "So we have somewhat of a culprit, just need to find where and who he is." The culprit had to be a male, no feminine Reaper's were ever on the field only in the offices and it was rare that a female reaper was born or recruited.

William and Krisius went over the record looking at the vacant patch and discussed for a while. Both Reapers talked to early in the morning until William was getting to tired to talk, the tea had begun to stop working the caffeine had worn off. The younger stood up and stretched.

"Well Kris, I am going to try to catch a cat nap." William told him as Krisius as the elder walked him to the door.

The elder patted his shoulder a slight smile on his face. His free hand came up and brushed against the mark on William's collarbone. "Oh, and Will, you might want to hide that. I am hearing the rumors." He opened the door and nodded. "Have a nice night."

Nodding William made it back across the campus to his room and opened it quietly and Grell was sitting up and doing some homework. He was yawning and rubbing an eye when William shut the door. He looked up and saw who entered the room.

"Where were you? I was worried." Grell asked his face showing the worry. "You were gone for a while."

William smiled walking to the red-head. "I went to Kris to discuss the case. I found something worth needing to tell him in the middle of the night."

"And what is that?" Grell stood up and wrapped his arms around his lover reaching up on his toes just slightly and kissed his cheek.

"If I told you, I would have to kill you..." He paused. "Hm, maybe not kill. I would miss you too much." He folded the smaller against his body placing a kiss on his forehead. "But I will say that we are so much closer to finding this Mortal Mangler."

Grell stiffened and sucked in a quick breath.

"What's wrong?"

"J-just," His mind whirled quickly. "It is just so scary to think about that monster out there. I just do not want to run into him Will," He buried his face in his chest. "Will, don't let him get me."

William grabbed his face tilting his head to look at him. "Hey, please, don't be afraid. I will protect you." He swept hair out of his face. "I promise, I will protect you." He tilted his face up more pressing his lips against the other's. It was soft and meaningful when the taller pulled away he smiled. "Go to sleep, you look tired as hell."

Grell nodded. "Alright, will you lay with me? Can I stay in here?"

He cocked his head to the bed. "Lay down."

Grell fell on the bed looking up at William as the younger boy stripped his shirt and dropped it on the floor, he climbed over Grell and lay down next to him. He wrapped his arm around his waist pushing his nose against Grell's ear. The two fit together so easily and completely that one could not tell where one started and one ended. Grell let his legs stretched out and twined them with William's.

Turning over Grell grinned and touched his love bite on William's collarbone. "No more of those," William commented, he saw the slight pout on his lovers face. "Hey, and none of that. Kris saw it and he said something about it." Grell only nodded.

"Fine," He somewhat grumbled. "But it looks good on you."

"It would look better on you," and then he decided to close a small playful argument with: "get some more rest. Can not have you half asleep in classes." Nodding Grell settled his head onto William's chest his eyes closing as William stroked his hair.

The two students fell quiet and Grell fell asleep against William and the other just stayed awake staring at the ceiling and thinking about the case. Who had the motive? Who was dumb enough to do this? Above all, this was one of their own kind their own race doing this. They took vows and promises to protect the soul from any harm so they could be harvested and kept safe. He rolled his eyes down and to look at Grell see how peaceful he was as he slept.

So innocent. So beautiful. So calm. Not a care in the world except for the dreams he was currently in. William brushed his bangs away from his face. A cruel world would have prevented the innocents sleep. He had to keep Grell safe. He just had to. If that lunatic of a person would go after humans, maybe one day he would be crazy enough to go after Reapers as well, and when that time come... no William could not let it get that far. He would not.

…/

Hours later just before the sun poked over distant mountains William slipped out of his bed and got dressed in normal novice attire for his day. When ready he woke a still too sleepy Grell up. At first Grell grumbled and swatted William away, until the superior grabbed his wrists and climbed on top of him to keep the other from swatting and kicking.

"Wake up, we will have time for this later. This is still the first week of school."

"You would care about school and not sleeping in bed with me all day!" protesting Grell shoved at William so he could roll out of bed.

"We need to get to your room before everyone else decides to start the day."

"Fine!" with more grumbled complaints he rolled off the bed and put his clothes from last night on, he gathered his books and stood by the door. "Ready," William only shook his head and he eyed the male. "I have something to cover that mark to, come on."

Shaking his head William followed the red-head out of his room. They strolled along the halls all the way across the building to finally arrive at Grell's room. Grell unlocked the door slipping in with the other following him.

Micha sat up on his elbows and squinted through blurry eyes. He almost jumped out of bed in respect at the sight of a superior, but William lifted his hand to make him stay. Micha cocked his head wondering what was going on with Grell, so many visitors. First the Undertaker taking him away and returning him then William coming and going sometimes. Micha's eyes drifted along William's body seeing the lean build from his prior training then they stopped on that mark, he assumed Grell had made.

Lifting his eyebrows he knew for sure something had to be going on. He let his head hit the pillow as he watched the two mingle. He could see the chemistry between them. Micha knew it was normal enough for all of them to get into each other since there were rarely ever a female Shinigami around, it was only natural that the male's start to let out their sexual frustrations with one another, he was not worried about that. What did get him was, why was Grell pushing it with an almost teacher? His mind went to The Undertaker and thought that, that may just be a student teacher relationship, since everyone knew Grell and William trained most of their time together and under the watch of the legend himself. Micha would play it all off now and just wait and see what happens, since he now knew Grell and respected him he would not do anything to jeopardize Grell.

In all of Micha's reasoning he watched as Grell went to dig in one of his bags and came out with a small tin container. He grinned walking to William tipping his head and to the side. Grell leaned in and licked the bruised area. William flinched and stiffened as he saw Micha watching them, William did not see when Grell withdrew from his neck and blew powder onto the brownish bruise.

"A little trick that old coot taught me." The red-head told him as he reached up and tapped on it lightly as if to set the powder. He looked over his shoulder at Micha. "If you get one of these Micha, come to me." He winked at his roommate.

"Alright,"

Grell stepped back and looked at his hiding techniques with a smile he nodded, he put the small tin away. He sat on the bed next to William, jumping up and running to his little set of drawers he pulled out his clothes for the day. Both Micha's and William's eyes watched as Grell stripped his clothes and redressed himself. Grell caught the teens watching him.

"See something you like?" He asked buttoning up his shirt.

"Always," William whispered slipping and forgetting Micha was in the room. Micha only looked away a smirk on his lips. "Micha..." His voice slightly tense and nearly nervous. "it would be a great kindness to keep mine and Grell's, ah, relationship only between you and us. I will do the same kindness to you."

Micha nodded slowly. "I can do that. For you and Grell."

"Thank you, very much." William nodded to him.

Micha threw off the covers and stuck his hand out to William over the small area. William stuck his out as well and they shook on it. Like a nearly unspoken vow to keep quiet, although they just spoke of it, the two understood. Grell lunged and hugged Micha, at first Micha's hands went out and then ever so slowly they hugged the male back. William hid a spark of jealousy.

Grell pulled away and turned to William with a happy face. "You running today?" His face lit up even more when William nodded. "I'm coming, I cannot trust you with anyone."

William rolled his eyes. "Well hurry,"

…/

William and Grell finished their run and were stretching on the grass. Grell was laughing at something William had said, he was making a joke about something or other.

"And what is so funny?" A low deep voice asked. William's and Grell's heads whipped around and, there was The Undertaker standing tall his hands clasped behind his back. "Will, I need to speak to Grell, so please leave us. Now."

William narrowed his eyes first and looked at the face he was being given. Leaning over he planted a long smooth kiss to Grell's lips catching the red-head off guard. Grell gave it back quick as he watched his lover stood and grabbed his things walking away. Grell and Undertaker watched the tall male walk away, suddenly Undertaker spun to Grell and yanked him up bring the red-head getting in his face his face grim.

"U-Undertaker?"

"Shut up," He hissed and looked around and drug him closer to the water. They were so far away from all other students that now the legend could speak freely. "You know their getting closer. Very close." His fists balled up into Grell's hair pulling his head back. "Will has narrowed it down to Reapers, did you know that?"

"B-But how!?"

The Undertaker shook him a bit. "How do you think!? He's smart and thinks of things others don't. I was talking to Kris this morning and he said they were that much closer due to my student." He shook Grell making the younger squeak and groan. "We need to deter them, make them look some place else. The Reapers on this case are the best of the best we need to screw with their minds."

Grell reached up and grabbed the hands in his hair, one to stop the pulling and the other to sooth the old man. "Undertaker, we can do that. Just relax and we will find a way to send them running someplace else. We also have to not do what we just did," His voice was small and soothing.

"You are right, but I screwed up on that trance," he shook him. "I was so enthralled watching you rip them apart like that..." He trailed off and let his hips pop forward. "God..." He looked around against and pressed a longing kiss against Grell's mouth. It was hard and hungry making Grell squeak, then slowly, he began to return the kiss his eyes closing. Just as he closed his eyes and he started to open his mouth for the other, Undertaker pulled away. "Now, I want you to think of a way to throw them all off, especially Will, I am sure if anyone finds out first it will be him."

"Yes sir,"

"Now I hate to say this, but I want you to spend all of your free time with him,doing homework, watching him, being the sexy little thing you are. We will lay off the killing for now. And you get him as distracted as possible make him drown in you, use your Demon to your advantage, get him addicted and make him want you, all of you." Undertaker explained to Grell, his hands tightening in his hair even more so. "Then when I come for you again, we will have our fun with the bodies and we will have our fun again. Yes?"

Grell could only nod taking in all the information. He was betraying everything he was taught, everything he learned. He was growing evil being blindly lead into a storm by a fearless leader that had him in a promise that was not able to go back on. He was trapped. He could just not turn Undertaker in without turning himself in the process. His life is ruined not go out kicking? Why not go out with a bang.

"Yes Sir," Grell nodded.

Undertaker placed a long kiss to his forehead. "Good, now go to school. Have a good day, I will see you soon."

Grell was released and he scampered off quickly his head ready to burst. A double life. Two men pulling him each direction. William calling him forward to the light and love of what good and right. Undertaker at his back pulling him back into the dark and hatred tempting him with lust and fun that will forever hurt him. Trapped. He was trapped in a battle of good and evil with in himself.

Demon and Reaper fighting for the same body. It was chaos, pure and utter chaos. Grell's head was going to explode, all he could do is shut his mind off and be the puppet that everyone want him to be. Be a good boy in the Academy, and with Undertaker, be a complete and total mess and destroy the lives and records he was sworn to keep safe. Even unsworn Reapers wanted to make the oath and get out there. This was their life their job, their second chance on life.

'My second chance... I am already messing that up.'

Grell walked to his first class his feelings smothered and confused. He wanted to just start all over again. If he could go back to when he stumbled through that door and asked for help he wished that Undertaker had refused him. He would have died and he would not have to go through this at all. Yet he is thankful that he was saved so he could be with William just a little longer even if it was only a short time before he was locked up or killed for betraying his own race.

There was another option...

"No!" Grell growled out loud. "No! Not like that! Never like that, I would rather die that face that." He looked around noticing that he was talking out loud. He shut up and put his head down and kept walking to his first hour class.

Shaking his head he cleared his thoughts and threw on a happy face for the rest of the world while his head was in turmoil. If he could keep it together in front of everyone then he could let it out in the security of his own room with out Micha being there. He could do that, he could be calm. All he has to do is clear his head and bring in the emotions that count.

Only the ones that count...

…/

Later in the morning Grell found William before third hour. He walked up next to him his shoulder bumping into William's. The other spun like he was ready to punch him. William stopped and a wide smile crossed his face.

"Hey there. What did that old coot want?"

Grell shrugged and smiled. "He just wanted to see how I was doing in classes."

"He could have not asked that while I was there?" William narrowed his eyes.

Grell floundered for a split second. " He wanted to ask me if I had heard the rumors going on about you and I. Well of course we have they stare openly and just say what is on their mind when they see us. He wanted to ask if I can keep that in check." Grell smiled and thought it was a plausible lie, and it was, William smiled and bumped Grell back now.

"Hey, don't you worry about that, I have that covered. Besides, have you not heard? You are the most feared boy in our year."

"Why?"

"Because you beat me." William grinned. " I am glad you did, because I just... I do not want that, I do not want all of that praise. I am already on the committee to finding that sicko that is tearing all those poor humans apart, and I am partly a teacher and I am Undertaker's, well was his apprentice... my expectations are too high. Too damned high." William looked at the smooth floor as they walked toward Liam's classroom. "I just wanted to come in here, learn how to be a proper Reaper and graduate, after that I would work up the ranks. I did not want to cheat and just zip up the ranks and now Kris is talking about early promotion in this school, so I can be up to speed with the higher-ups." He shook his head.

"Why not? You will be able to stay away from Jonas." Grell told him.

"Yes, but I would be further away from you, I do not want that. I want to be as close to you as possible" William managed a wink before he oped the heavy door to Liam's classroom.

Walking in together they saw the new instructor scurrying around like his head was chopped off talking to himself. He looked up at the two. "Oh William! I am so glad it was you, do you know where I put my papers from the other day? Kris is yelling at me to get them in and I have been so, so busy."

William rolled his eyes. "Sir, they are in your desk bottom left."

"Life saver, that's what you are. A life saver. Are they filled out?" Liam asked hurrying over to the big desk.

"Of course."

"Good, good."

Liam went along his business and William leaned Grell against the back wall an arm against the wall. "I want you to study with me again tonight." His fingers caressed his face and was glad they got here too early. "Maybe we can finish what we started?"

Grell gave a blush and nodded. "I would love that." He watched William's fingers as they caught a loose bang. "Maybe you can teach me something new?" He winked. "Like some new moves?"

"I think I have a few. But you have to come to my room to learn them." William told Grell his voice low and raspy. "I will meet you at the central fountain when the day ends, we can go straight to my room." Grell nodded.

William's face snapped up when the door opened, he let his back slam against the wall as he stared forward. Grell sagged against the wall and gave a low sigh actually wanting to actually stay closer to his taller lover and just rid of the day. He just wanted it to be him and William and nothing else.

Grell wanted to be him with no orders of how to be Grell.
