Not gonna lie, it's a little disheartening to not really have much reviews on this story. ^^" Then again, I know what most people tend to be looking for when they look up Kuroshitsuji stories, and it's not usually things like this. ^^" Anyways, thank you to those who do read it and review, it really means the world to me! Now, on to the story.~

"So, tell me again why this is our 'super important' overtime?" I ask as I fill out some paperwork stuff while Will and Ronald were cleaning and putting away the coffins.

"He made it sound more important than this, and it was too late to deny his request." Will said with a sigh.

"Besides, overtime isn't supposed to be enjoyable." Knox put in from the other side of a casket he was currently polishing.

"Well, I know that, but honestly, doing his paperwork and fixing up these coffins for him? That just seems to be laziness on his part." I respond, flipping through the paperwork to see how much was left.

"Oh quit complaining, at least you get the easy part of this job." Knox said, pushing the coffin back where it was. I looked over at him and raise an eyebrow.

"Really now? Would you like to switch places then?" I ask, setting the papers down.

He blinks then quickly moves on to the next casket. I smirk slightly. "And that would be why I'm the one that ended up doing the paperwork."

"That's enough, you two. Stop messing with each other and focus on the tasks at hand so we may leave." Will said, giving us stern looks over the rim of his glasses. I instantly went back to filling out the paperwork while Ronald started cleaning again.

Once I was sure I had finished everything, I got up to go have it looked over while the other two finished their cleaning. I was looking down at the papers while walking out of the back.

"Undertaker-san, I do believe I've finishe-" I looked up and blinked, for there by the door stood Ciel and Sebastian. They seemed to be shocked speechless, not that I could really blame them.

"Ciel?"

"Isabelle?"

"What are you doing here?" We ask in unision, staring at each other.

"I'm here working on overtime since I woke up late today." I replied first, then shot a slight glare toward Sebastian. "You could have woken me up sooner, by the way."

"I merely assumed you were capable of waking up on your own, seeing as you are an adult now." Sebastian replied coolly, that stupid chesire-like smile on his face.

"I am here following up on something for the Queen." Ciel said, answering my own question while glancing up at Sebastian.

"Hm.. I see.." I said before walking over to the Undertaker and handing him the paperwork. "I've finished this, so all that is left now is to finish cleaning and organizing the coffins for you. We should be done in no more than 30 minutes." I say before turning and heading toward the back room to help the other two finish up.

"Thank you, my dear, heh heh heh.." He replied with that strange smile of his.

I glance over my shoulder at Ciel on my way to the back. "I'll probably be in late tonight, so don't worry waiting up for me or anything like that." I say before disappearing around the corner, ignoring the dark look Sebastian was giving me.

Once I return to the back to help, I freeze upon seeing another person in the back. Someone dressed in red and not helping at all. I sigh as I pick up some other cleaning things and pull out a coffin.

"Grell, if you're going to be here, why don't you actually help for once instead of just standing around being a nuisance?" I ask, pushing my glasses up with my free hand while continuing to wipe down the coffin with the other.

"Oh, you're always so cruel to me! Why don't you show some respect for your elders, little girl!?" He yells, causing me, and the other two, unsurprisingly, to sigh.

"One, respect is earned, not a given right, two, you're downright annoying, and three, you're the reason Madame Red is gone, along with many other girls, so don't you talk to me about being cruel and showing respect." I reply simply, not looking up from the coffin.

"Why you little-" Grell started but then was cut off by something hitting him. I glance up to see that he had gotten a book to the face and glance over towards the other two to see Ronald smirking, and I can't help but smirk slightly myself.

"That's enough out of you, Grell, and you two, as well, Isabelle, Knox. Now then, get back to work, Grell, or you will be working overtime tomorrow, as well as more overtime today." Will said whilst pushing up his glasses before returning to his coffin.

"B-but Will!" Grell said, sputtering like a fool.

"No buts. Now get out of here and back to work."

Grumbling, Grell picked up the book that had previously connected with his face and left. Not long after he left, me, Will, and Ronald were finished and checking out back at headquarters. I was on my way out the door with a few books I checked out from the library, the actual one, not the cinematic records one, wondering if I would ever be able to find what I am searching for.

"Hey, Isabelle!"

I stop and turn around, seeing Ronald running to catch up with me. "What is it, Knox?"

He stops in front of me and bends over to catch his breath. "I was wondering.. Why you were here.. In the library so late last night..?" He asks between breaths.

I blink and raise an eyebrow. "How did you even know I was in the library late last night? You were one of the first to leave once the shifts were over."

Seeming to regain his breath, he straightened up so he could look at me while talking. "I had forgotten to turn in my cinematic records for the day, so hurried back to do so and noticed the library light was on, when it's usually off, and you were in there with a pile of books in front of you."

I sigh. "If you must know, I'm researching some things for my own purposes, but I haven't been able to find much of anything that would be of help so far."

"Ya know, I could always help if you want! I did help you find that brother of your's you had been looking for, remember~?"

I hesitate. "I don't know about that.. It's not really the kind of thing that I want others to know.."

"My lips are sealed, I promise." He says, his face turning serious instead of cheerful. "What is it that you're researching?"

I study him for a moment before sighing and giving in. "I'm trying to find a way to break a contract between a demon and a human without having it result in the human dying." I tell him, looking away once I say it.

He doesn't seem too shocked about this. "I see. I'm guessing this human you want to break from the contract is your brother?"

I nod and look back over to him. "Yes, it is. I know the possible dangers of this task already, one of the smaller ones being that Will can't know, so if you end up finding something on it before me, but don't like what it entails, I ask for you to please not refrain from telling me, no matter how bad it may be. My brother is young and has a long like ahead of him if he will just see it, and I know he won't as long as that demon is around. I'm willing to do anything to save his future."

He nods, his face solemn. "I understand. I won't tell a soul and will not keep any information I may find from you, no matter how bad. You have my word."

I smile a bit. "Thanks, Ronald, that really means a lot to me." I give him a quick hug, being that we're off the clock and can do that now, before heading off back to the mansion.

Little did I know the chaos I would be walking into once I returned.
