Chapter four: An unexpected change.

A/N: Hey, it's me again! This chapter could be a little confusing, but everything has an explanation, the only detail is that it will be in next chapter. This was a little 'experiment' I wanted to try and as this is fanfiction I think it's okay to write it down. It have been a little complicated to stop writing where I wanted to and not making a too short chapter, but I think it had turned out good (at least I hope so). Don't throw tomatoes at me, please! It's hard also keep everyone in character and it's my first fic * frustration took control muahahaha! * xp

Anyway here's the story!

Minutes passed in silence and Grell was bored. He was lying inside a coffin, trying to relax, but he couldn't. The shinigami still recalled the recent events. The ball had been so perfect... He sighed and closed his eyes. Sebastian was again there, with him. He smiled softly.

The only sound that could be heard from there was two voices talking low. They were mere whispers. The reaper could tell they were enjoying the peace in the shop. They were saying tender things one to another and possibly kissing, Grell thought. He was happy for his friends for being so good together, but at the same time he felt sad. And somehow jealous. It was long since someone had love him that way. Bittersweet memories were now invading his head. Memories like when his human parents loved him, though when they discovered that their son was gay they kicked him from home. But at least they had loved him. And then...a little tear dropped from his eye. He didn't want to think about it. He had assumed his parent's thing but he hadn't forget him. The other person who had truly loved him. He took a deep breath. He couldn't be upset, not when Sebas-chan had come back.

He slipped out of the coffin and wiped his tears away. He was thirsty so he looked for something to drink.

"Hey Grell, where are you going?" The scarlet smiled. The two shinigamis in love had seen him moving and were wondering what were the motives.

"Don't you worry, I'm not going away without Knoxie! I'm just thirsty so I was searching for some drink" The two men nodded.

The redhead quickly disappeared from their sight to let them some privacy. He wanted them to spend some time together, close and happy because when they see William in the morning it wasn't going to be good. His boss was likely annoyed and they were going to have 'just a little bit more' of paperwork, less reaping and overtime. Oh Will was such an slave driver! He frowned. If he wasn't going to see his demon in a while he was going to make sure William 'paid' for it. He smiled mischievously. He knew how to make the man blush.

He walked to the kitchen (or at least he thought it was the kitchen). He looked for some drink but he didn't find anything. Where did the man keep the drinks? He knew there had to be at least water because he made tea the first time they met, when he was serving Madame Red. He smiled as he remembered how good actress he was, making everyone believe he was a shy and clumsy butler. While everybody thought he was helpless, Madame Red and him murdered those filthy prostitutes that depreciated the thing they both wanted the most. They did deserve to die. After killing them, Grell eliminated every evidence and they left. They understood each other, and after spending a while with her, he started to feel something for the beautiful lady in red who neither could have what she yearned for. But then, when they realized that Ciel and his butler were going to catch them, they planned her death. At first the red shinigami refused to kill her but, the day before they were caught, she convinced him. She told him she didn't want to live like that anymore and that she didn't want to lose the love of the last person of her beloved family. He then agreed, though he did not like the idea of killing the only woman who had made him feel happy for being a man. She was his exception. He sighed. That was the past. Now he had his beloved demon again. He smiled, feeling good.

Once he had searched for a damn glass of water all around the Undertaker's house he found a bottle on a table, in a dark room he had never been in before. He grinned. He FINALLY found a drink! He couldn't care less about the suspicious room or what had the bottle inside. He was too thirsty to care. He had been going around the house to find something for half an hour more or less. He desperately began drinking and in a few moments the mysterious bottle was empty. He happily laid down and close his eyes, now satisfied. And suddenly he fell asleep.


Ronald tried to remain calm. He approached his boss in a swift movement and at the same time the blue haired demon jumped in front of his butler. He ordered the taller man to go back to normal. Said demon took a deep breath and bowed. Okay, at least the demon was under control. He glanced William who was willing to destroy the butler with his death scythe. He took his usually stoic boss from the shoulders and led him outside while the others escaped from the ball.

"Spears-sempai, please calm down" he said lowly to avoid annoying more the dark reaper.

"I'm fine Knox" The angry man said a bit too loud.

"Sure" he said sarcastically, but then he regretted it and added "The little boy has ordered him to behave, and you know, he can't do otherwise" he smiled.

"Bastard, why have they had to return? It's not like we need two demons walking 'round" The dark shinigami sighed, trying to compose himself, but failing.

"Please William don't try to fool me, I have eyes and I saw you weren't like that just because they're demons" The younger told, confident.

"What are you saying? Of course it is because of that. We're mortal enemies, they steal the souls we judge and protect! Why anyone seems to notice that fact! We're supposed to eliminate those repugnant creatures! Why don't anyone realize!" The two-toned haired reaper was scared of his always calm and stoic boss who had never behaved that irresponsibly before.

"But that's not a good reason to start a massacre right there putting in danger at lot of defenseless humans" Ronald almost shouted at the unbelievable actions of his superior and friend.

But William didn't care. He then tried to come back inside, but Ronald stopped him. He was afraid of the fact that he was likely going to have to fight with the angry man to calm him down. He didn't want to do it because he didn't like the idea of hurting his friend, although it was more possible to happen in the other way around because his opponent was his boss who was surely stronger than him. He sighed. "For God's sake sempai, don't do anything you can later regret" The younger shinigami put his scythe down and looked at his superior seriously "I'm not going to fight, but please don't do anything stupid. I know you are the one that's always telling us to behave and not to mess up. You always tell us to be responsible and think before we screw things up. So, why don't you listen to your own words?" He took a step closer "Think about what are you going to do. Think about the lives of the innocent humans dancing there. Think about how would Grell feel if you kill that demon" Those words seemed to affect the older reaper. Slowly he dropped his death scythe on the floor and sat down. He covered his face with his hands. Ronald sat near him silently, waiting for the man's reaction.

"I cannot understand it" William shook his head "I just can't" Ronald's eyes were studying every move the dark man did. But his words told the younger he wasn't going to attack. "I'm sorry, Knox. It won't happen again" Will spoke defeated. Those word were like poison to him. He didn't understand why his Grell could be in love with that bastard. But he couldn't deny he was. He had seen it in his eyes when they were dancing. He felt good knowing that his perfect Grell was now happy. But he couldn't stand that the reason was that vermin who was only toying with his feelings. He wasn't in love with the redhead, but this one didn't seem to realize because he would jump in the arms of the filthy creature every time he could. That bastard. And then, him, who had fallen deep for the red shinigami didn't have any opportunity now. If he hadn't made that mistake so long ago... The older reaper rose his head to face the preoccupied man. "I'm really sorry" The cold man said not to the younger reaper in front of him, but he wouldn't admit it.

William T. Spears was again the distant and serious reaper who didn't show any hint of emotion on his face. Ronald sighed, not knowing if it was better for his boss to return to that frozen personality. Not always hiding your own feelings and trying to deny them in front of people was good. Well, at least it was better than the mad, psychopath Will. Okay, he hadn't behaved like a psychopath, he was just jealous and angry because of the demon... But he had scared the young reaper with those piercing, cold green eyes.

"I think it's better for everyone to go home and rest" The two-toned haired man stated smiling to his now normal supervisor "And don't worry, every since the plan was created we assumed we were going to do a huge quantity of paperwork" He winked and turned to leave.

"Knox" The cold man called him "Thanks" He was going to reply when the shinigami added "And don't forget the unpaid overtime" His smile widened. He waved his boss and disappeared.


The red reaper opened his eyes. Oh shit, he had fallen asleep! The feminine man jumped outside the coffin and rubbed his eyes. What time was? He went to the 'kitchen' and looked at the time. He had slept fifteen minutes. But, why would he sleep just fifteen minutes? Why had he fallen asleep after all? He shook his head confused. That was really weird. But then, he was weird so, that would make that normal, right? He grinned at his logic.

At that moment something hit him. If had slept in a coffin his hair had to be a mess! Horrified with the idea of not being absolutely flawless was killing him. He ran to the bathroom (that room was obviously recognizable) and closed the door behind him. He took a deep breath, or he tried it because his shirt was so tight against his chest. Wait, why was that? A while ago it was just fine... The redhead was starting to worry. Also his tight black jeans felt less... tight at some parts of his body... He closed his eyes. Maybe he was only hallucinating because of the strange drink. That wasn't water at all. He felt a bit dizzy after drinking. Was it some drug? It could also be a somnolent and that was the reason why he had suddenly felt so tired and decided to sleep. But why would Undertaker have that kind of thing in his house? Sure he was a bit mad and was a really strange shinigami, but he was either kinda weird and he didn't have anything like that at his place. Well, maybe it was just a coincidence falling asleep a little later of drinking from a suspicious bottle... No, not even him could believe that was a coincidence. But what had he drunk? He regretted it. He sighed and tried not to panic. Slowly he faced the little mirror. His face looked fine, just a little more feminine, and though his fake eyelashes weren't on the right place his true eyelashes looked larger, but that was it... Wait, WTF? Why did he looked more like a girl? Well, maybe that morning he had applied mascara on his eyelashes instead of on his fake ones. And his face..., it had to be the drink. He was definitely hallucinating. He looked now at his body to see if he was fine. But what he saw made him scream.


The two-toned haired man jumped from one rooftop to another. He went as fast as his legs allowed him to go. He had spent like half an hour with his boss till he had felt it was secure to let him go and he made sure that he went straight to bed when he got home. He stopped a second to catch his breath and then continued to the Undertaker's shop/house. He couldn't believe that the legendary shinigami slept inside a coffin. That was creepy.

The young reaper saw the shop a few roofs ahead. He felt bad for his waiting friends, they had to be desperate. At least Grell. He didn't even know why they had to abandon the party like that. He also felt guilty. His happy superior was enjoying the ball to no end. You could see in his eyes he didn't want to leave ever. Poor sempai, he probably was going crazy when they took him away all of a sudden. He hoped he would not be mad at them and that he wouldn't have the wonderful idea of using 'his love' against them. Though Grell always said his death scythe was perfectly fine, that huge chainsaw was terrifying. And heavy. When the Jack the Ripper accident occurred and they confiscated his death scythe, they had a few problems with the chainsaw. In spite of acting like a woman, the red reaper was the strongest shinigami he had seen before. Well, maybe Undertaker was as strong as him, but he was a legendary shinigami so... That didn't count. Also William could defeat him, but he suspected that it was after a while fighting or when the redhead let him win. He gulped. He begged that his flamboyant friend hadn't made a 'tiny and insignificant' mess.

He opened the door fearfully, thinking of the worst things the gender-confused shinigami could have done. But then, he didn't expect to see that. Instead of seeing the redhead running like psychopath after his frightened friends and Undertaker trying to protect them, he found Eric and Alan making out on a coffin. His shocked face changed for a mischievous smirk. "You're having fun without me, huh?" Ronald chuckled when the two shinigamis jumped in surprise and turned redder than his supervisor's hair.

"R-Ronald, hi, d-did ya had problems with boss?" Eric tried to compose himself and act like anything happened.

"No, it wasn't very complicated" He said grinning at them. The brunette glanced at the floor and the blond adjusted his suit. "So, where is our favorite redhead, love birds? I bet you had supervised him and stopped him from messing up, right?" Eric glared at him.

"Oh, stop man, you sound like Spears" The three shinigamis laughed at the comment. "And yes, we kept an eye on him sir" The reaper smiled.

"Great, so where's Grell?" Ronald inquired.

"He was thirsty, he is in the kitchen" Alan spoke, now relaxed.

"Fine, let's get him and go back to the shinigami realm, I'm tired" They nodded and walked to the kitchen when suddenly something made them froze. They heard a loud scream coming from the bathroom. They ran to the room and opened the door. They didn't saw that coming. Grell looked at them, eyes wide open, with shock upon his face. How the hell had that happened?


His phone rang loudly, waking the sleepy man. "William T. Spears, ngh, what the fuck do ya want, hum?" The tired man said, annoyed for the sudden interruption.

"Mmm, boss? Are you okay?" Ronald asked shocked with the strange response.

"What do ya want, Knox? Ya told me to go to sleep and now ya are wakin' me?" He replied willing to go back to sleep.

"Well, sorry boss, but... you know... w-we had an incident here" The afraid boy didn't want to annoy more his angry supervisor "T-The fact is that-" He cut the reaper.

"What have you done this time?" He heard the other gulp.

"It's about Grell..." The man's eyes widened.

"What has happened to Grell? Is he injured?" The worried reaper almost screamed at the phone.

"R-Relax, he's okay. Well, maybe a little shocked and feeling kinda weird but-" The poor shinigami again couldn't finish the sentence.

"Tell me what has happened, Knox!" He ordered now more preoccupied.

"I think it would be better if you come here and see it with your own eyes" Ronald said and then there was silence on the other side of the phone.

"Oh shit, he now hangs up!" The cold man cursed realizing the fact and put on his usual clothes. He ran to get there as quickly as possible. But William, where do you think you're going? You don't where they are. He cursed at his own idiocy. He had let his emotions take control and he hadn't asked the place where he had to go. Stupid love, it had made him commit the most stupid mistake ever. He, who was always so organized and acted coldly, who always thought before doing something wrong. If the damn redhead wasn't really bad he would punish those idiots of his subordinates.

"Knox" He said when the other picked up the phone "Where are you?" He tried to sound as calm as he could manage.

"Oh, sorry boss I forgot to tell you that" The stoic man could imagine the grin on the blond's face.

"Yes, you did. I warn you, this better be freaking important to wake me in the middle of the night, Knox" He said hiding how worried he really was.

"Yep, it is. We're at my apartment" He nodded and hung up.

The serious reaper made his way to the young reaper's house now regaining his cold facade. A few minutes later he was there so he knocked the door impatiently. Ronald opened the door and let him in. Eric and Alan were on the couch close to each other. They glanced at him, likely afraid of his reaction. The two-toned man also sat down. He nervously told him to do it too. He sighed. Grell wasn't there. What were they hiding from him? What was that big catastrophe? He met the man's eyes. "So, what's the problem?" Alan looked at the floor and Eric glanced at the window. So they were the responsible ones, huh? But Alan was the better one of them. That didn't looked good. Ronald closed his eyes, possibly thinking of how to tell him avoiding further punishment. He rolled his eyes. "Are you going to tell me or will I have to force it out of you" Ronald instantaneously opened his eyes.

"Okay, but promise not to be mad at us" He reluctantly nodded. "They were at Undertaker's shop when I got there. We were going to leave so we went to the place where Grell was supposed to be" The cold man raised an eyebrow.

"You left Sutcliff alone in Undertaker's house?" They nodded. He sighed, wondering if he should hit them now or tomorrow at work.

"But just some minutes" Eric replied quickly.

"How many?" Alan and Eric shared a confused look.

"W-We don't k-know, sir" Alan said ashamed with his behavior "He told us he was thirsty and he went to the kitchen, but we don't know how much time he spent there" Well, at least he was still sincere.

"Fine, continue telling me the facts" Ronald cleared his throat.

"We were heading towards the kitchen and then we heard a scream" The stoic reaper frowned. "It came from the bathroom" His worry grew stronger. "We ran there but when we arrived we found Grell like that".

"How did you find him?" He was going crazy when suddenly he heard something he didn't expect to.

"Guys! Look how beautiful I am in this dress~!" It was Grell's voice.

"Will raised an eyebrow. "Can you explain this" He glared at his subordinates "He didn't sound injured, shocked or any bad to me".

"Wait, he's not bad, he's only... different" If looks could kill, Will would be a murderer.

"That's not a reason to call me in the middle of the night! I already now he's different! " He screamed furious. They didn't have the time to stop him from going to see Grell. He walked angrily to the room where he assumed the redhead was. The other reapers tried to calm him before he opened the door without results. They stepped inside the room but didn't see anyone.

"Please let us explain it" They almost begged their boss. He was going to reply when they heard again the feminine shinigami's voice. They turned around to see him. Grell appeared from the room next to that one smiling, and expecting to see his three friends. He didn't know that behind them was William.

"So what do you think" He turned around to let them see the entire dress when Will walked from behind them. He saw him in a beautiful knee-length red dress that showed the shinigami's back. He was astonished, but he froze when the man turned completely and faced him. He was woman.


So, that's chapter four. I know, right now you're freaking out. But it's true, Grell became a woman! O.O I wondered how it would be like if Grell were a woman. But don't you worry, I'll explain everything on the next chapter, I know this was confusing. I want to know what would be William's reaction, I have to think about it... xp

Well review to let me know what do you think about making Grell's wish come true!

P.D.:And if you don't want that to happen (though Grell would be a bit disappointed) tell me and maybe we can find a way to change it or we can make it temporal.

Hugs! 3
