As Grell was reaping Gregory Sonja sat in the corner thinking about what Grell said about William. Should Sonja kiss William? …..Hmmmm she thought then she felt a shadow looming over her she looked up and saw Grell grinning at her.

"Mommy is all done here! Shall we go back?" he sighed as he put his scythe's back in his pocket.

"Yes!" Sonja smiled as she grabbed Grell's hand.

Once they got to the dispatch office Sonja was very anxious to see William because she was really considering Grell's idea. Once they got into the office and Sonja saw him writing she smiled at him.

'William!" she grinned then his head shot up and he glared at her.

"Would you please be quite….." he sighed as he continued working.

"Oh…um Sonja is sorry…" Sonja frowned as she took a seat by his desk then Grell burst threw the door.

"Geez Sonja! You didn't need to run! She was so excited to see you William!" Grell laughed as he put the paper work on his desk.

"Thank you, you make leave Mr. Sutcliff…" William muttered ignoring his statement about Sonja.

"Oh your so rude! You don't just tell a lady to leave like that!" Grell growled.

"Leave Grell…..you are testing my patients…."

"Oh your so demanding Will! I love it!" Grell blushed then he walked over to Sonja and placed a small kiss on her cheek which caught William's attention.

Why am I worried about him giving her a small peck?…I don't care he can do what he pleases with her…but he did say they share a 'mother' daughter relationship…..wait William! Stop worrying about that vermin! he thought as he tried to concentrate back on his work. Then Grell pulled Sonja into a long hug which tested William's patients as well.

"Remember Sonja….kiss" Grell whispered in her ear as he gave her one last squeeze.

Then William couldn't take it anymore so he stood from his desk and grabbed his death scythe and hit Grell over the head.

"Mr. Sutcliff I said leave did I not?" William growled.

"Ow Will! don't be so ruff with a lady!" Grell pouted.

"You are no lady and a man should not hug a lady for that long! It's not proper!" William scolded as he adjusted his glasses.

"OOOO is Will jealous? Don't worry she's my daughter William! Nothing to be jealous about!" Grell laughed.

"I am not jealous! You can do whatever you want with that demon! I don't care!" William sneered.

"Uh huh….Farwell William darling!" Grell sighed as he blew him a kiss then he turned to Sonja and smiled. "Good bye Sonja! Mommy loves you!"

"Um…Goodbye mother….I…l-love you too…" Sonja muttered as she stumbled on the foreign word 'love'. No one has every told Sonja they loved her before…..I never even used that word….but it made Sonja feel happy and warm inside! Someone loves Sonja! she thought happily.

Then she notice William sigh and sit down at his desk and continue working. Then Sonja quietly walked over to him and smiled.

"William works too much…" she muttered.

"I like to work." William said not even looking up at her.

"I know, that's what Sonja likes about William!" she grinned.

William nodded and kept quite for a moment then he let out a big sigh.

"I am almost finished, and when I'm done you may help me make dinner if you wish…." he muttered What are you saying William? Do you want that disgusting demon touching your food? he mind screamed.

"Oh! You mean it? Sonja can help William cook!" Sonja grinned.

"Yes….if you wish…"

"Oh yes!" Sonja smiled. Is William 'warming up' to Sonja just like Grell said! she thought excitedly.

Then after a few minutes passed William finished his work and stood from his desk. Then he gathered his things and Sonja watched him intently.

"Come Demon….pardon me…I mean Sonja…." William corrected himself.

Sonja smiled and grabbed William's hand William didn't grip her hand back he just started at her confused and kept walking. Once they got to his apartment Sonja quickly pulled him into the kitchen, she was practically jumping up and down with excitement.

"Do you….like to cook?" William asked curiously as he got the ingredients.

"I don't know! Sonja never cooked before!" Sonja giggled.

"I see…" William muttered.

"What are we making?" Sonja asked curiously.

"Vegetable stew…" William muttered.

"It sounds yummy!" Sonja grinned. "What dose William want Sonja to do?"

"Um…please cut the vegetables…." he said as he handed her the knife carefully. What are you doing William? his mind scream but he ignored it.

Sonja took the knife and looked at him curiously then at the leek in front of her.

"So I just cut this all up?"

"Yes"

Sonja nodded and started to cut the leek then a smiled spread across her and she started humming as she was doing this. William would occasionally stare at her as he was cooking. For a demon….she is actually very cute…..William thought as his eyes narrowed then he gasped and looked away from her. Don't think such foul things! She's a demon! Just like that Sebastian Michaelis! Don't fall under her spell! his mind scream. Then Sonja smiled and pushed the chopped up vegetables toward him.

"I'm finished! Did Sonja do good?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes…very good.." William muttered as he added them to the stew.

"What now?"

"We wait…" he muttered as he walked over to the sofa and sat.

Sonja smiled and followed him once she sat the room filled with an awkward silence. Then Sonja scooted closer to him and smiled at him. Then she grabbed his sleeve causing him to look at her.

"Thank you….for all you did…..it means a lot!" Sonja blushed as she kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Once she kissed him William sad nothing and started at her then his face grew red and his eyebrow twitched. Oh no! I made his eyebrow twitch! He's angry with me! And his face is all red! That mustn't be good! That must mean he's extremely angry! Sonja thought then she cupped his face nervously.

"William? Sonja is sorry! I was just trying to thank you! I didn't mean to make your eyebrow twitch! Please don't be angry with me!" Sonja blurted out but William still didn't move he didn't even blink. "OH NO SONJA BROKE WILLIAM!" she cried but still no response from William. Is this what Grell meant by 'flustered'? she thought.

Then she tried shaking him a bit but all that did was make his glasses to slide down to the bridge of his nose.

"William….please don't break! If you break Sonja will be sad!" she frowned as her ears drooped down.

Then William finally blinked and looked down at the frowning demon. Then Sonja's ears perked up and she got closer to William, his face was now normal color and she smiled.

"William isn't broken?"

"Er….no I'm fine…" William muttered as he pushed up his glasses.

"What happened to William? He turned red!" Sonja gasped.

William said nothing and straightened his tie then he looked over to the kitchen and stood.

"I better go check on the stew…excuse me.." he muttered as he quickly walked over to the kitchen once he got there he let out a big sigh. Why did I freeze up like that? …..It was a simple peck….Grell has done that to me many of times….but I never acted like this….am I …no I cant be! Remember William she's a demon! he thought.

Once dinner was finished they ate in awkward silence and occasionally William would stare at her for a moment then look away quickly. After dinner Sonja happily helped William with the dishes and got her night shirt on. After she came out of the bathroom she saw William looking over a book while sitting on his sofa she smiled and sat next to him but he didn't look up from his book.

"What is William reading?" she curiously as she tilted her head.

"I'm looking over the list of the dead…." William muttered.

"List…of the dead?" she asked as she tried reading it over his shoulder.

"Sonja….will you please refrain form reading over my shoulder?" William said with an irritated sigh.

"Oh….Sonja is sorry…" she frowned as she sat back with her hands in her lap then William looked over the book at her.

"Perhaps you should get some rest…..I will finish reading in my room…." William sat as he stood by Sonja quickly grabbed his shirt and he looked back at her.

"What?"

Sonja said nothing and started at him intently for a moment her blue eyes flashing red slightly.

"I will not know what you want…until you tell me…" William said annoyed.

"Will you stay with Sonja….until I fall asleep?…I'm afraid of the dark.." she frowned.

William said nothing and stared down at the pleading eyes of the young demon girl. Then he adjusted his glasses causing the light to glare off of them and sat down next to her.

"Thank you…." she smiled as she laid her head in his lap which caused his face to turn red slightly but he tried his best to ignore her.

Stupid demon…..devilish fend…..vermin….disgusting leech….beautiful demon….no! William remember this woman is your enemy! She is a demon you can not fall in love with this thing! She dose not love you back! She is a demon she doesn't know the concept of love! You don't love her! His mind bellowed as he started at the small girl. Then she started to snore softly which was his chance to leave since she was asleep but he couldn't bring himself to leave just yet and with out thinking he caressed her long soft white tail and her cute white cat ears causing her to purr in her sleep. Then William blushed and he quickly pulled his hand away. No! No William! You are William T. Spears a Shinigami! Shinigami's and demons do not mix! You don't mix those two breeds together! Demons are disgusting and improper, Shinigami's are refined and good …Why is this so hard for me? He thought as he looked at her sleeping frame once more. If Grell never found you….and brought you to me….I would never be in this mess…..even if he did find you I could have just told him no…what I fine mess you got yourself into William…..He thought as he gently lifted her head off his lap and placed it on a pillow. As he walked over to his room he heard her whimper in her sleep.

"N-no…..please….d-don't…..t-touch me!" her voice cried.

William quickly ran to her side and started at her curiously. Could this be part of her memory returning? he thought then he noticed a few tears escaping her eyes he sighed and scooped her up into his arms and carried her into his room. He tucked her in and laid next to her trying to keep a great distance between them but it simply didn't work because she cuddle up against him for warmth. William sighed and put his glasses as side and slowly fell asleep.
