I met Sebastian outside a Bar on Langley Street. He wore a black double-breasted wool coat with a black cashmere turtleneck sweater, a pair of black wool trousers, black leather boots, and a pair of black leather gloves, lined with rabbit fur.

I was bundled up to the point of feeling like Stay Puft Marshmallow Man! Sebastian laughed, when he saw me! "You are not seriously going to go out with me, looking like that!" He stripped the extra layers off me, and threw them in a trash bin. I was freezing my ass off! Dressed in a single layer of clothing with only my coat to keep me warm. Then, he pulled me into a deep kiss! I started to feel warm all over. He smirked, "You're not the best kisser, but you're actually pretty damn good! With a little more practice you could be better... Would you like to practice a bit more, with me?"

I laughed, "I think we should get going. I can't be out all night. I still have classes to attend, and then there's my internship in the evening!"

He smiled and said, "Then let us paint the town black, my dear!" As we walked to the park talking. We didn't notice the two Shinigami that were tailing us.

First we played a twisted version of tag on the Ice, both of us being skilled skaters, added a degree of difficulty to catching each other. I was glad to be playing with him and not fighting. Although, I admit that it makes for good high-speed intensive training! We had to react faster than if we were off the ice. We were both out of breath by the end of it.

Then, we headed to the docks. Where we found some drunk sailors who were raping a common whore. I smiled at Sebastian, "You want to have some fun?" He showed his demon fangs as he laughed. I too began to laugh. We both laughed together. It was an evil, terrifying laugh. The sailors began to shake in fear. The youngest sailor pissed himself, when he heard us approaching.

Sebastian came from the right, and I came from the left. We deliberately made double clicks as we walked, sliding the ball of our feet, click one, then the heel, click two. In perfect time with each other, we walked. They could not tell which direction we were coming from. They went stark white when they saw Sebastian! A couple of them laughed when they saw me, I guess they thought I would be easy to overtake!

Their mistake! I wasn't a demon, but because of my training with Rovahnyon, I am able to summon my Spectral Scythe at will. It materialized as an eerie green and blue scythe. It was one of the large old world styles, much like the one the Undertaker uses, just not as fancy. They started to trip over themselves to get away from me. They fell with one swipe.

Grell and Ronald watched in shock of what they were witnessing! Ronald has never seen anything like it. A reaper who didn't need a scythe to kill, and reap souls? Ronald chuckled at the thought of William trying to confiscate my scythe. How would he be able to? I guess she got one over us with that one!

Grell gritted his teeth. "How come she gets to summon a Spectral Scythe? It's not fair!" Ronald looked at him in surprise, "You know what that is?" Grell looked at his companion, he just realized that Ronnie was still so young, compared to him. Then he said, as a mother speaks to her child, who had just asked a very meaningful question, "Yes, I do. Once, when I was not older than you. I met a reaper who could summon a Spectral Scythe. He was a very handsome man, with the most beautiful eyes!"

Ronald could see that he had just lost Grell to a memory of another man. Why can't I keep myself out of trouble and avoid working with him all together? He also realized in that moment, Grell was referring to the Undertaker?! "You mean to say that the Undertaker can do this?!" Grell just nodded. Ronald was exasperated, "If he can summon a Scythe? Why was he given one?" Grell looked at him, and blinked a few times. Honestly, I don't understand why William thinks this kid is so smart? "Because, every reaper's issued one!" Ronald shook his head, "It just seems like a waste to me. That's all!" Grell looked at him from over his glasses, "You still have so much to learn!" Then, they turned their attention back to us.

Sebastian had finished killing his half as well. His eyes were wide with wonder, and perhaps distaste, at the sight of my scythe. I couldn't blame him, after all it was, with this blade that I very nearly ended his life! I let it go, and it disapparated! It was then, that he stood at my side. We stood over the dying and dead men. I looked at my friend, "I've never seen a demon devour a soul before. I know that you want to savor Ciel's soul. I don't want to be presumptuous in my asking this, but would you devour one of these souls so I could see?" He was surprised with my request. He also looked a little annoyed. I added, "I understand, if you don't want to do it. I know that being a demon doesn't mean that you lack honor. I also understand that I won't know, if I don't ask."

He sighed, "I suppose that you will need to be able to recognize which demons are the more immediate threats. It is important to remember that we can't fight off an attack if we are eating. Please do not try to kill me?" I nodded.

He stood over one of the last two men gasping for air. He knelt, and tilted the man's head toward his face. He put his mouth close to his and gave him what could be called a demon's kiss of death. His lips didn't touch the man's lips, they didn't have to touch for him to take his soul. The man's soul didn't come out in the form of a cinematic record. It looked more like an eerie florescent colored smoke, this man's soul was a grey with a touch of green. Sebastian went as slowly as he could, so I could watch and remember it. Then, in the blink of an eye he inhaled the man's soul and it was gone!

I smiled at him, "You make devouring souls look romantic. I'm almost tempted to let you have mine. Just so I could know how it feels." His eyes danced with a lust, not the sexual kind. He was seduced by the idea of devouring a Shinigami's soul. I chuckled at the expression in his eyes, and poked him in his ribs, "I said I was almost tempted." I added, in a childish tone, "Silly demon, souls are for reaping, not eating!" He gave me a warning look.

I laughed and apologized, "I'm sorry. It's a bad twist to an old cereal catch phrase." Now, this had him curious. I could tell from the look on his face, that he wanted me to elaborate. I smiled, "As a kid , there was a breakfast cereal that had a rabbit for its mascot. In the advertisements, the rabbit would try to get this cereal from the kids eating it. The kids would always get their breakfast back before he could eat it, and say, "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"

He had that 'Ah, ha!' moment, then smiled. "You are a curious woman! I don't understand how I could have missed that? I know who your friends were, your past teachers, your first love, favorite color, flower, food. Yet, I seemed to miss that?" He was absolutely baffled, he thought that he shuffled through everything. I laughed, he was absolutely adorable, when he got hung up on trivial details. He stated, "I fail to see the humor in this." I couldn't help it, I laughed even more.

I didn't dare let on that he was reminding me of William, and his uncanny knack for remembering minute details too. Those two don't like each other, but they are similar in many ways. I honestly understand why Grell's torn between the two of them! I simply said, "Now, I understand why Grell is so smitten with you!" He stiffened his posture, and gave me another warning look, that said 'You will not speak of him!' I swear that the way he looked right then... I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath.

I started to feel the cold again, the warmth of his kiss was fading fast. Sebastian noticed that I was starting to shiver, badly. "We need to get you inside quickly." I nodded, I was barely able to move, my muscles were constricted. He picked me up and carried me to the Phantomhive's London home. Once inside he sat me in a chair by the fire. "I'll bring some tea." As he turned to leave, he had placed a warm blanket over me. I was already asleep, when he returned with the tea.

He smiled, as he set the tray on the table. He stood for a moment contemplating. Then he did something, that he did not expect to do... He sat on the floor at my feet, and laid his head in my lap.

The two reapers watching from outside decided that there was nothing more to see. Grell turned to Ronald and said, "There is no need to report this to William." Ronald nodded in agreement. He was already stuck working the night shift with Grell, because he pissed William off. He certainly didn't want to get overtime too.

When I awoke early the next morning, I realized that I was running my fingers through his hair in my sleep. I wasn't at home! Damn! I'm going to be late for class with Rovahnyon! I had to get to class, but I didn't want to disturb Sebastian. I know that demons don't need sleep, but he looked so peaceful sleeping. Wait! Why is his head in my lap?

Sebastian started to stir, I gently stroked his cheek and followed down to his chin. He nuzzled his face into my lap, and then snapped awake! I smiled, "Good morning sleepy head." He yawned and stretched. "I hadn't realized that I fell asleep." He said as he stood up.

He helped me out of the chair. I thanked him for last night. He smiled and said, "Perhaps we could do it again sometime?" I nodded an agreement, and let him know that I had to leave. I was already ten minutes late for class. He smiled, "Tell Rovahnyon that it was I who kept you!" I laughed, "Not a chance!" And I was gone!
