Ciel stared at his ceiling until morning came. Con of being a demon-you don't need sleep. Unless of course he's trying to work then it's a Pro. He sighed. "Sebastian?"

His butler was just coming into the room. "I don't know why you insisted on going to bed. You don't nee..."

"Yes I know." Ciel sat up. "So what's for breakfast?"

Sebastian looked at him. "You don't need to eat real food."

Ciel put another mental tally. Pro-can't die of hunger, or can he? Scratch that. Con-eating delicious food doesn't satisfy him. "Of course. So what do I have planned for today?"

None of Sebastian's features changed. "Nothing. Everybody thinks we're still gone forever. However, with your permission I'd like to take a walk around town."

Ciel sighed. "Yeah, yeah whatever. I'll stay home and think of a way to break the news to people. Or maybe I'll practice dancing."

Sebastian smiled. "Even with a demon's grace, you still don't have the rhythm."

Ciel frowned. "I thought you were leaving."

Sebastian was headed towards the front door when he met Mey-Rin on the stairs. "You're using WAX right?"

Mey-Rin picked up the container sitting next to her. "Yeah I'm using wax. What kind of maid do you think I am?"

There wasn't a response until she motioned for him to talk. He didn't catch on at first. "Oh I'm sorry, I thought that was a rhetorical question." Then he knelt next to her, and ran his thumb on an edge of her glasses. "There was something on the very top of the glass, but it's gone now." He left his fingers on her cheek.

For a moment or two there wasn't a sound, just the two of them on the stairs. Then Mey-Rin finally blushed as red as her hair. "Excuse me, but weren't you going somewhere?"

Sebastian stood up. "Right, I was headed to town. I'll be back later." Then he walked out of the Phantomhive manor.

The first stop he made was the Phantomhive house where Prince Soma and Agni were still residing. He didn't have to wait outside long before the door was flung open by the prince. "Who are you and what do you...Mr. Sebastian?! AGNI! Mr. Sebastian is here!"

Agni was there in a flash. "Oh Mr. Sebastian! Thank the Gods!" They then procceded to hug him tightly, almost in tears.

Prince Soma pulled away for a second. "Is Ciel okay?"

Sebastian tried to pry off Agni. "Yes, he's back at the manor, safe and sound."

Prince Soma grabbed Agni's arm. "Quickly we must go and see Ciel!"

Sebastian stopped them. "No you can't, not yet. He doesn't know that I'm telling people, so it's a surprise."

Prince Soma winked. "Okay, I gotcha, just tell me as soon as I can visit." Then he shut the door and you could hear him and Agni yelling excitedly in another language.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and headed to his next destination. This was going to stink.

He smelled the stench of opium before he even opened the door. He found Lau lounging on some pillows smoking with Ran Mao and some other scantily clad girls. "Hello Lau."

Lau gave a little wave. "Ah why hello. Now why are you here? Are you looking to buy something to take your mind of your duties, or just to visit?"

Sebastian saw one of the girls slowly let out smoke and look at him with big eyes. He cleared his throat. "Uh, just stopping by to tell you that Ciel is back and at the mansion. However you can't come over right away."

Lau shrugged. "And why would I want to go see Ciel so he can nag about my habits, when I can stay here with my lovely Ran Mao?"

Sebastian nodded. "Of course that would make sense. Well goodbye then."

Lau smiled. "Goodbye, and come back soon. My girls miss you terribly. Bye."

Sebastian was exscorted out by one of them. Where to next? Elizabeth? Sure why not. It was a lot like telling Prince Soma only there were tears, and it took awhile to get her to agree not to see Ciel until further notice. Then he continued to inform people.

The inside of the shop was dead quiet, and he didn't see anybody. Anybody living anyway. "Undertaker?"

A coffin right next to him popped open. "Who dares disturb my slumber? Sebastian? Hello there. You should have knocked."

"You should get a bell."

Undertaker pulled out a catalog. "I do have bells on some headstones. You know in case someone gets buried alive...on accident.

Sebastian nodded. "Yeah. I knew that. What I was coming to do was to tell you that Ciel is back, but you can't visit him right away."

Undertaker layed back down. "Wasn't planning on it. Now are you going to buy something, or ask for help?"

"Well no, not really I just..."

"Then leave me alone, I don't really care about what Ciel does. I hardly knew he was gone. Now let me sleep." The coffin lid almost shut.

Sebastian opened it again. "Wait, I do need help from you."

Undertaker smiled. "First you have to pay."

Sebastian followed the adress the Undertaker had given him. It lead to a small little apartment building tucked away in the older part of the city. He got the correct room number, which happened to be on the top floor. He knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Nothing. So he pulled out a hairpin he always kept in his pocket for things like this and unlocked the door that way. Inside it was how he expected it. The walls, the furniture, the appliances were all...red. He looked around, but found no one. Then he glanced out the window. Running across the rooftops with long red hair flowing in the wind was the person he was searching for. Grell Sutcliff. Sebastian smiled. Now he could walk outside and wait, or he could be really cruel and mess around with the reaper's already messed up head. I think you know the answer. Grell walked into his room and turned on his red stereo, something you had to earn from completing a certain amount of work. It started playing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj. So _that's_ what he left it on. Only when he took off his coat did he notice the intruder on his couch. Sitting with his arms resting on the top of the couch Sebastian had a small smile. "Hi."

Grell blinked behind his glasses. "Is this a dream?"

"Come here and find out." Sebastian moved his forefinger.

Grell smiled and ran across the room, stopping right before Sebastian. "Oh Sebby I'm so happy to see you!"

Sebastian tilted his head to the side. "Come closer and make me happy."

Grell leaned in with his lips puckered. Then the side of his face was met with a hard punch.

Sebastian laughed. "Ha! Oh man you really fell for that! Ha! You did make my day however."

Grell rubbed his cheek. "Know what? We're over! You just left me and now you come back and punch me?! What kind of lover are you?"

Sebastian flipped his bangs. "I'm simply one hell of a lover. Just not to you. So I was stopping by to tell you that Ciel's back, and you can't come over to the mansion until I tell you."

Grell jumped to his feet. "Oh I wouldn't come to see Ciel anyway, and you can tell me to do whatever."

Sebastian smiled. "Can you close your eyes?"

Grell had a little smile, and obeyed. "Just don't hit me again...or kick me."

Sebastian almost started laughing again as he tiptoed out the door and left Grell standing there looking like an idiot.
