Disclaimer: You know how it works -_- I don't own Kuroshitsuji… sadly…

Thanks to I-hate-everyone-Friday and Sutcliff23 for their reviews… because I compulsively have the need to thank others….

On a side-note, whoever is reading this… lucky you! Because of all the stories I have, I am putting this on the update-a-lot priority list…

Sorry for not up-dating, as stated above I have other stories… and it's hard coming up with plots…

POV still in 3rd person

William is walking through the store, holding Xavier. He didn't want to walk with a stroller, because he felt like an idiot when he walked with them. Besides, those things are a death wish. It can just roll out onto the street, or something…. Will contemplates to himself, thinking of strollers.

Xavier stares up at him, wonderment in his eyes. The hybrid grew faster than normal, and was now at the approximate age of 3 months. Not that William minded at this point. He loved holding the kid, and enjoyed the way the kid looked up at him. He looked down at him and smiled.

"Let's find some baby food, shall we?" He walks around, thinking some more to himself. The kid ate normal, baby food. What would happen if that changed? At some point, would he need to feed on something more? And if he did, would William help him?

I'll deal with that when it comes to it… Will thinks as he picks out jars and fruit. When he was done, he headed to pay for them, then left.

Babble babble babble, goes Xavier. He was hungry, and was trying to chew on Will's tie, getting slobber all over the place. Will attempted to take it away, but Xavier only pouted and whispered, then moved to chew on his jacket. So Will gave up.

Damn, this kid is a handful… William continues to drone to himself as he goes back into the apartment, placing Xavier in a baby-seat type of thing Will chose to call it (because he is not familiar with the things that are made for babies), and goes to get the food prepared. He opens it, sits in front of Xavier, and attempts to feed him.

~Five minutes later~

"Damn it… this better not stain…." William is attempting to get the red-like baby food off the counter with a wet cloth. Xavier merely stares at him babbling, then turns to the jar and tries to grab it.

"You, kid, have to be one of my worst nightmares…." William says irritated as he continues wiping, then going to throw the ruby-red cloth out. He gets another, attempting to clean the floor.

Xavier makes grabby hands for the food, his baby-mind wanting nothing but it. But the pauses at Will's words, a slightly understanding look on his face and pouts… before crying.

"Aw, what is it now?" Will looks up at him from the floor. Xavier motions to the rest of the food, but Will only sighs in reply. "Right, because you won't just toss more food again…." he goes back to cleaning, and Xavier stops crying to stare at him with tear-filled eyes. Will looks up.

"Aww, don't look at me like that."

"…"

Will looks down, and continues cleaning. "Okay, almost got it all…. Aughhh!" He yelps as something hard hits him, and stuff suddenly gets over his face, neck and clothes. He wipes his eyes, then opens them… to a bright-red mess. "Oh… Xavier…" Will mumbles as he looks at himself. Xavier merely smiles and giggles cheerfully, his hands red with stuff from the jar.

"Willy darling, I'm back! There was a hold-up…" Grell pauses in the doorway before shrieking girlishly. "Oh, Willy, red is SOOO pretty on you! You have to be the sexiest man alive!"

"What?" Will glares at Grell, and Xavier bobs in his seat, holding out his arms to Grell. Grell picks him up.

"Oh, did you do this my child? My, you are a natural!" Grell coddles the baby, and he smiles merrily at her. "Will, isn't he adorable?"

"Sure, adorable…. not the word I would've picked…." Will gets up and goes to clean his shirt. "And now… my suit is ruined…."

"You can always take it off…"

"Grell…" Will growls.

"Fine, fine, whatever. Play hard to get all you want." Grell cleans Xavier, putting fresh clothes on him. "But you'll need to change into fresher clothes. There is a pressing matter…."

"And that is?" Rinsing his hands, William narrows his eyes at Grell, then goes to re-clean the mess.

"Well, Will…. I was at the dispatch, and apparently some people were talking…"

"What were they saying?"

"Why, that you and me were raising a child together of course!"

William whirls around. "What? How have they heard? And since when is there a 'you and me'?"

Grell pouts. "There's always been a 'we'! You just haven't realized it yet."

"There is no 'we'. How do they know?"

"Well, from what I've heard, some people just seen us and the kid…. You know how it goes. And they asked me… so I told them about it!"

"Damn it Grell…."

"That's not the most pressing part. The most pressing part is that… well, because the kid is half-demon, some demons… are claiming the kid as their own…." Grell stands there, wondering how William will take it.

"What? That's ridiculous!" Will furrows his brow, and Grell sighs, thinking that went rather well.

"I know Will, but I … well, I mean, they are demons."

"They just want to eat him, it's what they do."

"Well, yes, but… what do we do? And I'm not sure… would Xavier even have the same soul as a human?"

Will thinks. " We will protect him. But only because he's what he is. And no, obviously he wouldn't have the same type of soul"

"Right…. And what do you mean 'what he is'?"

"Think about is… he's a hybrid. Are they rare? Dangerous? Of high-value to supernatural beings? Are there even any other hybrids?" Will stands and runs a hand through his hair. "We need answers…"

"Oh, I know! He's not exactly the most polite in certain situations….but he always has answers! He's bound to know!"

"Who on Earth are you talking about?" Will watches Grell, and Grell gives him a devious smiles. William only looks more confused… until realization dawns on his face.

"No."

"Yes!"

"I will not! And he won't help us anyways…"

"Well, if you do stuff like take him off our wanted list, he might…."

"He's a psychopath! A deranges psychopath who likes to play god, and sleeps with dead people! Hell, he probably even feeds them those creepy dog biscuits…"

"Do we have any other choice? You and I need answer FAST. And he is one of the few people who may actually know something." Grell crosses his arms and continues to pout at Will. "Don't you care about Xavier?"

"I do. I just don't want THAT guy's help…."

"Will….." Grell continues to stare, and they stand there for about a minute before Xavier starts to fuss.

"…Fine…."

"REALLY?"

"Yes. But only for Xavier."

"Great! We need to go soon though….what with everything happening. I'm scared someone will try to get our little guy…"

"There is no 'us' or 'our' or 'we. There's you, me and a kid."

Grell giggles. "You have any idea how that sounded?"

"….. Shut up… Now, I'm going to change… we can leave after I've had my shower, and then we can go and locate that…. creepy old man…."

"He doesn't look like an old man…. But I see your point." With that, Grell turns back to the baby to feed him something different, and Will takes off to his shower. They wouldn't try anything…. Will thinks to himself about the demons. No, wait… of course their kind would… William stops his train of thought, not wanting to think of anything that may bring harm to Xavier.

Right… and to do that, I must go and find these answers to my questions…. Will gets in the shower, hoping that the man they can find will have their much needed answers.
