Ai-Chan: I'm back! Buuuuuut, not with what you guys expected. Hee hee!

Grell: What? Why? This is torture! I wanna know what happens next! Plus, you have to make it better! You had me get my butt handed to me.

Ai-Chan: Aww! No worries, Grell. It's William to the rescue!

William P.O.V.

I had just started on one of two piles of papers on my desk, when Ronald Knoxx came barging through my door. The sheer force almost ripped my door off its hinges, startling me.

"Sir, come quick."
"What is it, Knoxx? It better be important for you to come barging into my office like that."
"It's Grell, sir. I believe he may be in need of assistance. I heard shouting and a loud thud coming from his office."

"He's probably yelling at another intern and slammed a book."
"But sir, Grell wasn't the one yelling, and the thud sounded much heavier than a book being slammed. It sounded as if Grell and the other party were fighting."

That got my attention. Grell has never been one to get into physical fights. Verbal? Yes, with a book or two thrown for good measure. Despite his skills as a fighter, he doesn't fight others unless absolutely necessary. That only being if his life were in danger. He and I are probably the only two besides the professors who know just how strong, and skilled, Grell is. He was a AAA student in the academy.

Not knowing whether to be worried for Grell, or the other party, I quickly made my way down the hall to Grell's office. There was a small group of people huddled near the door trying to catch a hint of what was going on in the room. I cleared my throat, causing them to disperse like flies. The shinigami in this division sure like gossip.

Standing in front of the door I could hear Knoxx's reason for worry. There was indeed yelling coming from the room, and it certainly was not Grell's. In fact, Grell was surprisingly silent. He wasn't trying to fight back. Why?

"I was there for you when he flat out rejected you the first time. You were a fool for thinking he would accept you the second time," was the other party talking about me? I know I rejected Grell twice back in middle school, but how did he know that?

"How did you repay me, Grell? Huh? You tried to drown me! Did you think you could away with it? Did you?!" Grell was pushed that far by this person? What exactly did he do to Grell for him to try to drown him?

"I was prepared to accept my punishment for killing you! I may not have achieved that, but at least I got rid of you long enough to recover," recover? Recover from what exactly?

"I was lucky my friend's father is an important diplomat, otherwise I would be rotting in a prison cell," Missy knew about this? This is too odd.

I threw open the door not caring about throwing myself into the middle of their squabble. Grell is my subordinate, although recently it seems to stem further than just caring if he got into trouble. I care for him more than I should as his boss.

"William."

Ai-Chan: Fooled ya!

Grell: No fair!

Ai-Chan: It wouldn't have been fair if the readers didn't know what was going on in William's mind. Plus, I'm using his vacation as an opportunity to get him all sappy and mushy and shtuff. Anyway...

Don't forget to review, and in the last chapter I made a pretty dark and twisted reference to an all time classic romance movie about two star crossed lovers based on events that happened where they just so happened to be situated in the middle of a giant ice cube filled sea. If that didn't stir up your minds, just remember Jaques is the French equivalent to JACK. And the color of Grell's hair is ROSE red.

So PM your answers or just comment, and first to do so gets a oneshot of their choice.
