Julia's POV

"Looks like we have more deaths scheduled for reaping than normal" I told Will as I finished reading the "To Die List"

"Indeed" my colleague agreed. "However within a few days those numbers will rise due to a sniper"

"I hate snipers" Grell complained.

"The queen will no doubt send for her guard dog to investigate" I added referring to Ciel Phantomhive.

"Which means I can see Bassy or Catherine!" my mate squealed.

I rolled my eyes and Will scoffed.

"On another note I'm sure your aware we have an important guest visiting the reaper realm and the human world"

Every once in awhile some divine being would visit the reaper realm. The way Will spoke meant whoever this being was meant he or she was important. There was a knock on the door and Will called for whoever it was to come inside.

"Pardon the interruption"

A woman dressed in all black stood before us. Immediately I knew she was a dragon shifter like me.

She's a hybrid my dragon corrected. She's half phoenix too

My eyes widened at that revelation. Dragons and phoenixes were considered enemies so hearing this woman was a hybrid of the two surprised me. She had to be at least twenty or twenty-one years old. Her hair was the same hue as Catherine's only it had blue highlights in it. Her eyes were dark blue and they reminded me of the Lapis lazuli gemstone.

"Lady Rayne I'm glad to see you arrived" Will greeted.

Both me and Grell's jaws dropped literally. The reason was because the woman before us was none other than the Queen of the Underworld and the Goddess of Resurrection. I've heard many stories of this goddess and being in front of her was a huge honor.

The next thing I knew Grell was holding both of Lady Rayne's hands. Will growled and I face palmed.

Rayne's POV

"My lady you have no idea how much I wanted to meet you" Grell Sutcliff told me.

I never really watched much anime but I did like Black Butler. And Grell was on my favorite character list I just had no idea I would be a fan of his. The red haired reaper was absolutely adorable. Grell suddenly realized what he was doing and he quickly apologized before removing his hands away from mine.

I chuckled and gave him a reassuring smile.

"I'm glad to meet another fan, I myself am one of yours Grell"

"Really?!" Grell asked getting hearts in his eyes.

My smile became a smirk and that made the red haired reaper very happy. Then a book was thrown at Grell's head and the amusing reaper whined before falling face first to the floor.

"My apologies for my idiot mate Lady Rayne"

The dragon shifter I sensed from before stopped in front of me and bowed briefly.

"He's your mate?" I asked in surprise.

I hadn't been expecting to hear that.

"Yes" Julia sighed before giving Grell a disapproving look. "We've been mate bound for almost a century and though he's an idiot I do love him"

"Then your lucky" I told her. "When I first met Hades I wasn't expecting him to be my true mate but it was worth it"

Speaking of my husband Hades never liked it when I was gone from the Underworld for a good period of time. I was going to be between the reaper realm and the Black Butler world for several weeks. Thankfully Nyssa would keep her father company.

Grell got back to his feet and introduced Julia to me. I could see the red haired reaper loved his mate deeply. He called Julia his "Juliette" which actually made me get hearts in my eyes. I definitely was going to enjoy this business trip for sure.

Catherine's POV

A month passed since our last trip to London. Life at Phantomhive Manor resumed and nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Esme was seven months old now and she was teething. This was a painful experience and it was no exception for my daughter. Some days Esme was fine but others she could be cranky.

Her sleep was slightly off base so Sebastian and I took turns easing her when she was awake at night. Now that she was seven months old Esme could do a variety of things. She could sit up without being supported along with bloody crawling. Oh god don't even get me started on that. There had been several times when Sebastian or I had to get Esme from getting into something she shouldn't be in.

I mean just yesterday Sebastian managed to get her away from the kitchen door before the entire room was in flames thanks to Bard being an idiot. In fact I had been sleeping when the sound of another explosion woke me up.

Sebastian no doubt let me sleep in again. I opened my eyes displeased my precious sleep was disrupted. I got out of bed and went to Esme's crib. She wasn't in there so Sebastian probably had her or she was with Ciel.

Ciel was one hell of an uncle that was for sure. And Esme adored her uncle which was damn cute. The door to the bedroom opened and Sebastian came in.

"I see Bard's idiocy woke you" my husband greeted me.

"Meh it's time for me to get up anyway" I reassured the demon. "Where's Esme?"

"The young master is with her"

I saw mischief in my mate's eyes.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Sebastian" I reprimanded him.

Sometimes I wish my mate wasn't a demon because demons loved sex and right now the butler was thinking about it.

"We have a few minutes Little Dhampir"

Damn him!

The next thing I knew I was back in bed and at the mercy of my husband.

Ciel's POV

"Sebastian I would advise the next time you wish to please my sister do it when it's appropriate"

I didn't mind watching Esme but my sweet niece had fallen asleep and when I tried to summon my brother-in-law he was obviously delayed. Catherine was blushing red and she was glaring daggers at her husband.

"As you wish my lord" Sebastian agreed doing his signature bow.

He then excused himself so he could Esme down for her nap.

"Sorry kid" Catherine apologized to me taking a seat in front of the desk.

I gave my sister a reassuring smirk. I would never be angry with her for something on Sebastian's behalf. I pushed a plate of scones towards Catherine and she took two.

"Any word from Sadie?" she asked after taking a few bites from her first scone.

"You'll be glad to hear she plans on visiting next week"

It has been some time since I last saw my beloved mate. At the moment she was busy with her studies.

"It's about time she visited no offense little brother but you've been sulking a bit"

"I do not sulk" I corrected Catherine. "But your are right I do miss her"

Sebastian returned with the mail and I saw a letter from her majesty. I opened it first figuring it was a summons to a case but it wasn't. I knew it would be a matter of time when I would be summoned for another case. Frankly I hoped one happened soon things around the manor were boring as of late.

A Little Later.

I was enjoying a simple walk around the grounds with Esme when I heard a familiar voice.

"Catherine!"

I sweat dropped as Grell was hurrying towards me with his arms opened out for a hug. I got out of the way and Grell ended up slamming into a nearby tree.

"Idiot" I mumbled.

"Oh wow this is quite a home"

A woman I was unfamiliar with was looking at the manor. I felt a strong aura coming from her and I knew whoever this woman was she had power.

"Oh sorry I didn't see you there" the woman stated finally seeing me.

She wore all black and it was hard not to stare at her unique hair coloring. Her eyes were pretty too.

"Lady Rayne I see you met Catherine" Grell said coming over to us.

"That's a pretty name" I complimented the woman.

From her accent she was no doubt American.

"Aw! You have Esme may I please hold her?" Grell begged.

Esme laughed before holding her arms out to Grell. Knowing the red haired reaper wouldn't hurt my daughter I put Esme into his arms.

"Your daughter is precious" Rayne suddenly told me. "I never met a child with demon blood before"

"Wait you know what bloodline she carries?"

But before Rayne could answer Sebastian arrived with Ciel following.

"Hi Bassy" Grell greeted the butler.

"Hello again Grell I see you decided to visit again"

"Actually he wanted to show me the place" Rayne corrected.

Sebastian looked to Rayne and immediately his eyes widened. Then I watched as my husband went to one knee and bowed before Rayne.

"Uh what the hell is going on here? Because I'm confused" I asked.

"I'll explain my love" Sebastian answered before getting back to his feet.

Rayne's POV

I hadn't been expecting for Sebastian Michaelis to bow to me. But he was a demon and demons knew who I was.

"Catherine darling this woman is the Queen of the Underworld, the mate and wife to Hades" the demon butler explained to his wife.

Ciel Phantomhive's left eye widened and Catherine's did too.

A few minutes later Catherine resumed speaking.

"So your really from the Underworld?"

I flashed the Dhampir a grin.

"Yes and I am also the Goddess of Resurrection, I'm in the human world to assist the grim reapers in this part of the world on who lives or dies"

"Well my lady I hope you enjoy your time here on this plane" Sebastian told me with another polite bow.

"Bassy be careful because Lord Hades does not approve of other males flirting with his wife" Grell warned the demon butler.

"I am not flirting at all with her grace" Sebastian corrected the red haired reaper.

"Don't worry Grell he's just being polite" I reassured my friend.

My attention went to Ciel.

"Lord Phantomhive your home is very beautiful"

"Thank you my lady" the young earl told me. "Your are very welcome here whenever you wish to stop by"

I couldn't help but smile because Ciel was just as adorable as Grell was.

"Uh oh Lady Rayne we should go that soul we have to examine will be occurring soon" Grell interrupted.

I nodded and Grell returned Esme to her mother. I bid farewell to Sebastian, Catherine, and Ciel before Grell and I took our leave to attend to business. I definitely was going to enjoy my stay on this plane for sure.
