That Shinigami, Heart Thief
Chapter XXIX: That Shinigami, Unconcious
So, here they are again. Grell is sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed that Alex is currently occupying as she lays unconcious. Instead of the maid-like uniform or the hospital gown, Alex is wearing a clean white dress shirt. The red reaper stood up from his chair and stretched his arms and legs followed by yawning, Grell has been sitting in the chair ever since the nurses put Alex in the hospital bed.
After he came back into the shinigami realm with Alex in his arms, he quickly headed towards the infirmary wing of the building. Once they got to the infirmary, nurses placed Alex on a hospital bed and rushed her to the surgery room while pressing on her gash to prevent anymore blood from seeping out. Grell was going to go after them to make sure that Alex was alright but two nurses blocked his way. The two nurses told him that everything will be fine and that he should relax.
Grell sighed, this is what he meant in the red card when Alex first got into the infirmary from the demon attack. He sat back in his chair with his legs crossed. The red reaper then remembered something, it was when Alex and him almost shared a passionate kiss 'What made me do that...?' Grell questioned himself. Sure, he likes Alex but is it really what it's coming to? Is Grell Sutcliff, the crimson reaper, falling for a fragile girl like Alexandria Blackwood?
Grell was brought back to reality when several footsteps sounded, he looked at the door to see William come into the room followed by Ronald, Eric, and Alan "I see you boys got wind of little Alex coming back~" Grell grinned, sitting up straight in his chair.
The red reaper watched as William walked over to the otherside of the bed, he looked down at Alex "Sutcliff, where did you find Ms. Blackwood?" Grell's ears perked up at the somewhat concern in his voice.
"I'll tell you but it won't be pretty." Grell replied as he took off one of his black gloves and examined his red colored nails, he grinned, not a single scratch nor crack on his nails "While I was searching for her, I heard several humans conversing about an auction. I also heard that the people who run the auction recently obtained a new attraction- the same amount of days that little Alex went missing." He put his black glove back on.
"An auction?" Eric asked incrediously, Grell nodded "What happened next?"
Grell continued with the story, "Once the auction started, they revealed Alex who was bound in ropes and sitting in a cage. The amounts instantly shot up. Of course, I had to bet as well if I wanted to get little Alex back. Unfortunately, that didn't happen because one of the humans bet 650,000 and so, the auction ended and that human got her."
William then spoke up, "Skip the extra details, Sutcliff."
Grell pouted, "Fine. The human dressed little Alex up in a maid-like outfit and made her sit on his lap like a pet." said Grell as he said the last word with much distaste "That perverted human would trail his fingers up and down Alex's back and her thigh, I wanted to kill him on the spot for doing that. After a while of sitting in a tree, the estate got attacked blah blah blah little Alex almost got raped blah blah blah then that's when I came in and rescued her from getting raped. I beat the crap of the human who was about to rape her, we came back here to the infirmary, and here she is~!" Grell grinned as he finished the story.
"I can't believe the words that I'm about to say right now but..." William's voice trailed off, he glanced at Alex then back to Grell "...Thank you for saving Ms. Blackwood."
Grell stared at William with a bewildered look, he suddenly launched himself at the shinigami supervisior "Oh~! Will~ darling~!" Like always, William side-stepped thus making Grell land on the floor "Hey! I had my sights on that kiss!" He whined.
William sighed as he pushed up his glasses, "The only thing you have your sights set on is my student, Sutcliff."
The red reaper jumped back on his feet with a blush rising on his cheeks, "What are talking about!" He exclaimed "The only people I have my sights set on is you and Sebby!"
"Now that you'd brought it up, Mr. Spears," Eric spoke up, he looked at Grell with a slight grin "It might not be obvious but you tend to sneak glances here and there at Alex whenever she's nearby." Grell opened his mouth to say something but Eric cut him off, "I saw you from a distance."
"I would have to agree with Eric," Alan got into the conversation "I noticed several times."
Grell opened his mouth to say something but no words came out, he sighed "Meow,"
Everyone looked at the doorway of the room to see a black cat sitting there, staring at them "It's a cat..." Grell muttered "What's a cat doing here?" The cat hissed at the red reaper and Grell slightly jumped. He watched as the black cat walk into the room and jump onto the hospital bed where Alex laid. The cat went around in a circle and sat down, facing the group of reapers.
Everyone stared at the black cat and the cat stared back at them.
"It's the same cat that I saw in the hallway." Ronald pointed out, "The cat was following us while on our way here."
Grell huffed, "Well, where ever this cat came from it's going back to the human world." He walked over to the side of the hospital bed and reached out for the black feline but the cat hissed at him and the red reaper retracted his hand "Why you damn feline!" The cat hissed, showing its fangs.
Ronald laughed, "The cat doesn't like you, senpai." Grell pouted at Ronald's comment. The cat moved from where it was sitting and laid down on Alex's stomach.
William decided to get rid of the cat, he walked over to the bed and easily grabbed the feline by the scruff of its neck. The cat hissed and lashed out its clawed paws but didn't land a scratch on him "It seems you can't do anything, Sutcliff." William turned to the red reaper "But you can when it comes to Ms. Blackwood." He then tossed the fussy cat at Grell.
"AAAHHH!" Grell screamed as the cat began scratching his face, the red reaper grabbed the black cat by the neck and glared daggers at it "You feline! How dare you scratch up my beautiful face!"
"Meow." The cat scratched Grell's nose with its claws which made him yelp. The black cat landed on its paws and quickly jumped back onto the hospital bed "Meow." The black cat sat back down next to Alex's left hand. The cat kept its eyes locked on the reapers but mainy on Grell "Meow,"
Eric stiffled a laugh, "It seems like Grell has a competition for Alex," Ronald laughed as well "Though I have to admit, the cat looks cuter with Alex." Eric teased and Grell glared at Eric and Ronald as they continued to laugh. Alan shook his disbelief and William sighed.
The cat yawned as it arched its back, it walked around in a circle and laid down.
"Damn cat," Grell muttered under his breath as he glared at the sleeping feline.
