Chapter 7

I walked down the hall quickly into the Young Master's study, where he was enjoying his afternoon Earl Gray tea.

"Young master," I stepped in front of his desk, "Please excuse me, but I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"What?" Ciel inquired, emotionless as ever.

I cleared my throat and spoke in a hurried fashion. "It seems that I cannot consume the reapers' soul. Although I separated his soul from his body, it will not be truly separated from him until I kill him and cut out his heart."

"Then kill the stupid thing. What is the hold up?" He jumped out of his chair and glared at me. "Do I look like I want to give my soul to you, Sebastian? You are a disgrace of a demon. Can't even kill a death god to eat his soul and replace the contract."

"I apologize, young master. But, you see that if I kill a death god, there are consequences on both personal and work terms. By killing him, I will have stained my hands of killing an immortal being, and even as demons, there is a truce amongst the three types of immortal creatures. By breaking that, I am to face consequences once I reach hell again. For you, killing a grim reaper does not affect you on a personal way. But, the death gods will not be happy with this, and most likely attack us. They do not have any regrets on killing immortal creatures that declared war on them first. It could ruin both me and you. The death gods will have to find a new reaper to replace Grell, and although as insane as he might be, Grell is a good reaper, and the higher ups in the Shinigami office may have a word or two with us. Lastly, the souls that the grim reaper does not manage to collect from the time he gets assigned the souls to the time of death will either be eaten by a demon or purified by an angel."

He frowned and thought. "I don't care. My soul is more important. Kill the red – hair flirt."

"Of course. By the way, young master, he isn't a flirt anymore. I have been keeping an eye on him. He is the most powerful, dark reaper I have seen since the Undertaker retired from his reaping. He is a threat to us. Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes."

"As you wish, my lord."

I left Ciel, thinking of how I would kill him. This would take some thought. Grell has gotten more serious and more dangerous than ever before. It would be extremely life threatening for even me to go after him. Well, I should let him get settled into his normal routine. After all, I would be on alert if I woke up with all my memories gone and scars down my body.

If the Grim Reaper dies, there will consequences for both me and my young master. But, his word is law. At least, until I change the contract.

I really hate writing this short of a chapter, but it included all I wanted. I wanted to explain the soul exchange better because it seemed confusing. I wasn't going to include this, but it seemed necessary. I was in Sebastian's point of view. Thank you for reading, reviewing, favoriting and following! I promise, this will be better. I have things envisioned for this next chapter. Hehehe...
