You are the Poison that is Killing Me

Chapter 2: A Deal

Author's Note: Thank you for those of you decided to actually read my story let alone follow/favorite it! *bows* you made me so happy, and I can't thank you enough! I do hope you all stick through to the end. More Fanfiction will be on its way. And also if you peoples wouldn't mind if (only if you want to) possibly tell people about this fic, I personally am proud of it, but if you are like me and you are the only one in your group of friends that ships GrellxSebastian then, I feel you, and thanks for the sentiment! I Love you all now! And to reply to someone's review…comment…thingy…sorry I am new here… Grell and Sebastian are each other's poison. Sebastian was tortured by Grell's "abandonment" and just her/his very essence/ memory 'killing' him. The same thing goes for Grell he/she regrets leaving him and that alone is killing him/her. Thank you all so much! I will stop blabbering now and get on with the story!

Sebastian stood alone in the woods encompassing the estate. Every tree looked the same in the light. Everything was dull without that Grell Sutcliff. Clutching his arm (That was still bleeding profusely by the way), Sebastian sucked at the air coolly, not fearing, but excepting his fate, and the fact that this very breath could be his last, not only in the human world but in all possible realms. A demon is immune to all weaponry, but there are two exceptions. One being a blade crafted in the very fires of hell where demon's swarm and the other is the tool the reapers use to take souls… the death scythe.

Sebastian waited.

It is known that shinigami are the messengers between man and god that take the souls from corpses at their scheduled time of death. It is also know that demons do get in the way of that process happening smoothly. Demons, more often, swoop in and hunt for a human about to die and steal the soul before the reapers can get a chance to retrieve it. In some cases the two do meet and there is a fight for the soul. The victor may sometimes be the shinigami who actually had the right to the soul or the noxious beast, the thief that was looking for a quick meal. Grim Reapers over time had crafted their blades to not only be able to read and sever souls from mortal beings but also break the mortality of a demon with a single touch and slice them up causing one to be mortally wounded and depending on the blow left for dead. In short, Grim Reaper weapons are not a good thing for a hungry demon.

But as it seems even a demon in a formal contract is being hunted. Usually if a demon binds itself to a human through a contract the shinigami can do nothing to intervene. The human had given their consent to the demon and thus the mortal is no longer under the jurisdiction of the reapers and now belongs to the demon. Because of this if that person was destined to die the next day, if he made the contract with the demon his date of death would be put off until the goal was reached and then the demon would feast. But now due to the circumstances by William and his followers they are no longer respecting the one agreement that can be found between the two species.

"If you are going to run, I would recommend starting now." William said appearing from behind one from the myriad of trees. He lifted up his glasses using his beloved scythe. "Well?" His green eyes blazing through the darkness not leaving his prey. The demon.

"I am not one to give up easily," He said still keeping his voice eloquent "nor am I one to be weak enough to attempt escape." Sebastian turned to look at the dark haired reaper. "But possess I no reason to live longer…so kill me!"

"No Reason?"

Sebastian nodded and opened his arms wide in a state of ready for death.

"Heh." Will adjusted his glasses once more and lowered his scythe. "How about…we make a deal.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow "Deal?"

"Being a demon, you must know all about them "an air of sarcasm was laced in the reaper's words.

Sebastian blinked, he soaked in the contempt on the man's voice. "I'm listening…"

"Grell will choose. He will choose which one of us once and for all. Who he will spend his eternal life with.. If he chooses me you die." His voice was cold and the word die was said as if it were a normal topic, murder, well to reapers and demons it was commonplace.

"And…what if…Grell chooses me?"

" If he chooses you, then I will stop the hunt and let you live…for now. Though it is more than taboo for a reaper to love a demon I will allow this one commission… if he chooses you, that is."

Sebastian nodded. He took in every word the shinigami had said scanning the material over and over in his mind.

"Fair?" Will asked bringing the demon out of his thoughts. Sebastian looked at his face seeing all the cunning and deceit that was strewn across it. William T. Spears as of this moment did not have a poker face where it came to his passion of his hatred for demons, unlike the rest of his emotions. He usually hid them well. Will held out his scythe rather than his own hand to shake on the agreement. He was snobbish enough to not even want to be contaminated by the likes of Sebastian Michaelis.

"Fair." Sebastian concluded shaking the blade awkwardly fearing the reaper may have lied and was going to strike him down then and there. But to his relief, Will kept to the agreement. "I don't know where you'll find the red head…so you better start looking if you are going to try and black mail him" He turned to walk away but then came up with a snide comment "Oh and by the way Mr. Spears… If it weren't for all of you r contempt for up with a snide comment "Oh and by the way Mr. Spears… If it weren't for all of you r contempt for my disgraceful kind…you would have made a very good demon, indeed"

William gawked at the very thought, but could not come up with a better come back. He kept himself silent letting the demon have this one victory as he believed he himself would truly win the overall prize.

Sebastian snickered at the annoying reaper and continued to walk away with a demonic smirk spread widely across his lips. He continued forward into the line of trees going in to search for a second chance once more.

A/N: Again thank you for reading this far! I hope you have enjoyed it. Oooo Love triangles!
