Grell didn't understand, what did she do that made Sebastian so enraged? Unless-...Yes, he definitely knew, just by looking at the anger in his eyes, she could tell that the demon knew her secret. A pang of guilt swept through her all of sudden, afterall, she did play with his emotions. Well I suppose he has a reason to be upset. She thought to herself, biting her bottom lip. The red head took a deep breath before speaking calmly, trying to get him to listen to her.

"S-Sebastian..." She stuttered, pulling away from Ronald's arms slightly, much to the disapproval of the blond reaper who kept hold of her hand just incase. "I-I didn't mean to-"

"You disgusting reaper!" He bellowed, his voice seemingly twinned with a tone that was much darker and much more demonic than usual. Ofcourse, this made her jump back a little and also made the other reapers to step a little closer to her. This was bad. They were in the Demon Realm surrounded by starving demons who would do anything for a soul, even if it was the tainted soul of a Grim Reaper. The demon butler glared straight at the red head as he continued to explode with anger. "Just when I thought you couldn't stoop any lower, you disguise yourself as an innocent female! Yes, you have disguised yourself before as a useless butler but this is ten times worse!" Now that hurt, she had never thought of it that way. Now that she thought of it, she really did stoop low. She made a man who she had real feelings for fall for a woman who didn't even exist, but she couldn't help it. All she wanted was to get close to the man who she, at the time, was head over heels for and now here she was in the arms of another man right in front of him and had completely abandoned the demon.

"I know that..." She said shakily, looking down at the ground. "And i'm sorry for that. I never meant for you to get hurt" Ronald could see how guilty she looked and sighed deeply, stepping closer behind William to speak to the demon.

"Give her a break, Sebastian..." Ronald said slowly, glaring slightly at the demon butler. "She's been through a lot, and it's not like she did that to hurt you" The red head nodded in agreement, looking over Ronald's shoulder and towards Sebastian.

"Ronnie's right" She mumbled softly, biting her bottom lip. "I had real feelings for you, seeing you leave with that Phantombrat really hurt" She admitted, but that only made the demon roll his eyes with annoyance.

"Myself leaving with that Phantombrat, was your fault to begin with!" He snapped, folding his arms as he stepped back slightly away from the scythe. "If I wasn't so infatuated with y-...No not you, Grace, I wouldn't have had lost my concentration and I wouldn't have had to leave for the Demon Realm with him!"

"I had no idea..." Grell almost whispered, looking down at the ground once more. Just seeing the hurt in Sebastian's eyes made her feel worse by the second. "And again, i'm sorry, Sebastian" The group went silent for a few moments, demon and reaper eyes glancing back at each other every so often while nobody else knew what to say.

"Honestly, can we just get to the point at hand?" William piped up with a groan, using his free hand to adjust his glasses. He had been so concentrated on defending Grell, he hadn't even noticed they had slipped down his nose. "All this apologizing is giving me a headache"

"Agreed, Spears" Undertaker chimed, lifting a long slender finger up to get Sebastian's attention. "We need your help, Mr Butler..."

"My help?!" The butler repeated, looking at the retired reaper in both confusion and disbelief. They were asking him for help? Why would he ever help them? Especially Grell? "With what?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm in a lot of trouble, Sebastian..." The red head whimpered, stepping in front of William who glared at her with a face that literally said 'He's going to rip you apart'. Meanwhile, Ronald's stomach churned at the thought. "Th-the witch who made me a woman wants to take my babies...A-And someone is framing me! They are continuing Jack the Ripper's killing spree and the Higher Ups are pointing the blame towards me..." By this point, there we tears running down her cheeks. Un-phased by the tears and sniffling coming from the red head, he simply huffed in annoyance.

"Why on earth would I help you?!" He asked, staring straight at her teary face. Grell didn't know what to say, he had no reason to help her. What was she supposed to say? She thought perhaps mentioning the fact he loved her once would be an excuse, but in these circumstances, it would probably make the situation worse.

"Because in return, I can help you" Undertaker said calmly with a small grin tugging at this lips. Now that caught Sebastian's attention, he blinked a few times before moving to look at him in surprise.

"How...?" He asked, a little skeptical as he raised an eyebrow at the other. Ronald looked just as baffled, staring at the Undertaker in confusion.

"Yeah, how?!" He repeated eagerly, Undertaker on the other hand just ignored his question and continued to talk with the demon.

"I can help you free yourself from your little Demonic Young Master" He explained slowly and calmly, but even Grell could tell that there was a slight teasing tone to his voice. "Do you really want to be stuck here with him for eternity? You will spend his endless life starving and unsatisfied, with no chance of ever devouring his soul. Quite a sad end for such a brilliant Butler, don't you agree?" He let out a chuckle at the last sentence, obviosuly finding the thought of it amusing. The demon butler glanced over at the other demons nearby and the door surrounded by red fog before sighing in defeat and facing the group again.

"What would I have to do?" He asked reluctantly.

"You would just have to help us investigate who is committing these murders." The Undertaker replied as if it was nothing, glancing at the red head for a moment. "And also help us get rid of this Witch" He added. Sebastian went silent, thinking it over, was he really going to do what a Reaper told him? And especially this reaper? He really didn't have a choice in the matter but he just couldn't seem to let the words out. Soon, the other grew impatient and chuckled lightly, extending his hand out to him for him to shake. "So what do you say, Mr Butler? Do we have a deal?"

~X~X~X~

"We're here, My Lord" Sebastian chimed in his usual tone, stepping down from the carriage and opening the door outside the Phantomhive Manor. Ciel stepped out the carriage, cane in hand as he looked up at the huge building with a sigh.

"I don't see why I had to come back here, Sebastian" He mumbled in an irritated tone, glancing at the taller male. "You mentioned a letter from the Queen?"

"Yes, I did" He replied, reaching into his inside pocket and showing him the envelope, closed with the Royal seal. "I haven't opened it as I thought you would disapprove" The young Earl nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I will open it when i get insi-"

"Welcome home, Young Master!" Chimed the three servants, running down the steps and towards the pair with bright smiles on their faces.

"It's so nice to have you back! Both of you!" Mey-rin said in her usual excited tone. Bard let out an awkward chuckle, scratching behind his head.

"Yeah, there's a few things we need you for, Sebastian..." He said, his voice edgy and nervous. "Finny broke the Garden sculptures" He quickly said, pointing to the smaller male.

"Eh?!" Finny squeaked out, looking up at him in shock before looking towards Sebastian. "Bard blew up the kitchen!"

"Mey-rin used bleach to clean the carpet and there are white patches everywhere!" Bard yelled quickly, not even hesitating.

"Bard!" Mey-rin cried, glaring up at him. Soon enough, the three were arguing and squabbling amongst themselves while Ciel rolled his eyes.

"Now do you wish we had stayed in the Demon Realm?" He asked, looking up at the demon butler. Sebastian sighed deeply, rubbing the bridge of his nose before straightening himself up.

"Bard! Finny! Mey-rin!" He called sternly to get their attention. It worked a treat as all three quickly turned to him and gulped.

"Y-Yes, Sebastian?"

"I am going to give you some instructions, so stop arguing in front of the Young Master and listen carefully" He said slowly while giving them a warning stare. "Mey-rin, make sure the Young Master's bed is made and his room is clean"

"Y-Yes, sir" She said quickly, adjusting her glasses.

"Bard, clean up any rubble in the kitchen and wait for me before preparing dinner"

"Alright" He muttered, shrugging his shoulders.

"And Finny, help Bard carry any heavy rubble out of the kitchen, and don't break anything else"

"U-Understood, Sebastian" The smaller blond stuttered.

"Good, now go!"

"Yes, sir~!" Came their reply as they all saluted before hurrying back into the building. Sebastian couldn't help but grin at watching them all hurry inside. He then adressed Ciel and gave him a small bow.

"Now shall we go inside, My Lord?" He asked, extending a hand towards the doorway.

"Yes, let's" Ciel replied, making his way up the stairs towards the door. "It looks like it is going to rain"
