Oh sweet mother fucking jesus, I'm sorry you guys! Dx
I kept telling myself to get working on this but SO MANY DISTRACTIONS!
Between school, social life and all around being a lazy bum, my Writer's Block has gotten pretty bad.
So anyway, sorry but I know this chapter will be total and utter shit.
I'm not being a critic. I'm stating a fact.
I promise, I will really try to make the next one better.
So, go ahead and read this quickly written chapter
I own nothing except for Samuel Bishop
When the butler and noble left the little shop, I felt like I could breathe again. That demon…I already didn't like him. I shivered at the memory of how he looked at me. Damn demons…the lot of them.
"He is quite an odd one, isn't he? Kuku," I jumped and snapped my head around to the Undertaker who was previously breathing down my neck with his creepy smile in place. He thinks the demon is odd? Well, takes one to no one, right?
"Why is it that people find the need to invade my breathing space all the time?..." I grumbled and shot a glare to the chuckling human. Who knew humans could be so…creepy.
"You are certainly one to talk, Undertaker. Anyway, I should go and find my senpai and return home." I said, wanting desperately to go home and hide in my bed from all of the stress today. The shop bell rung, showing an exhausted, beaten and ruffled up Grell-senpai. His cheek was bruised and swelled from the blow I gave him. I don't feel the least bit of regret for it.
"Sa...Sammy…chan…" He huffed, looking about ready to collapse.
"Senpai, let's get back. You need some rest and finish that work Will-senpai expects you to finish." I said, pushing up my silver frames while the creep grinned. Grell only nodded and stepped outside, probably already gone back as soon as he stepped out. It was quite obvious I would be getting an earful from him after he gets some rest. I turned back to the Undertaker. As creepy as he was, I found him tolerable. More so than senpai but he still needed to work on the whole "invade Samuel Bishop's space 24-7 ordeal".
"I'm sorry for the intrusion and the…troubles my senpai caused." He made no word reply; only giving a small chuckle.
"I best be going before-" A crack of thunder cut me off. My shingami eyes shot over to the dusty window, seeing rain drops smacking the glass and roaming pedestrians seeking cover from the sudden storm. I could feel my eye twitch. Fuck my immortal shinigami life and the weather in this blasted world.
You see, traveling between the Human and Shinigami worlds only has one flaw; if you try going to either during an electric storm, you'll either cease to exist or be transported somewhere else…And I'd rather not disappear and end up being some place I don't even recognize, thank you very much.
"Dammit…" Senpai must have gone back before the storm had settled in. I didn't want to take any bets to see if I could make it back. Who knows what could happen! I'd rather take my chances with the corpse creep than end up in Hell.
"Ihihi, young one, I could never allow you to venture out in such unforgiving weather," He grinned while I flinched at his sudden closing in, "What kind of host would I be if I let you out into the rain, shivering to the bone and leave you exhausted and possibly ill from the bitter cold nipping at your flesh…"
He chuckled and I could only shiver; from what, I don't know. His laugh just gives me chills. I'd be damned if I heard that while trying to sleep. But, he did have a point…in a way. I couldn't head out with the weather in this condition and I surely didn't want to go through the trouble of finding another place to rest until the storm eases.
"I-I guess I could stay…until the storm passes," No, I did not stammer! "If you don't mind…"
"Ihihihi~ Not at all, young one, not at all." He grinned, "I'll warm up some more tea and start some dinner, for us, ne?" He disappeared into the next room, humming some odd tune to himself.
It was so eerie in this old little shop. I could hear the creaks in the wood whenever the wind whistled outside and the only sound I could capture was the pounding pitter-patter of the rain on the dirty windows. I shivered, the cold of the shop giving me goosebumps. It was a good thing tea was being made. I rubbed my arms a little, trying to ward off the shivers this place was giving me. Might as well get a little comfortable, right? I was going to be here for a short while. I took a seat on a coffin, still trying to get rid of the goosebumps invading my skin under my suit.
"Hihi~ Are you cold, young one?" Undertaker's voice caught me by surprise and I turned my head to him. He was standing at the doorway from the kitchen, holding a tray of beakers with invitingly warm looking Earl Grey tea. And from what I could tell, it smelled delightful to say the least.
"A little, yes. But I suppose you're used to it, right Undertaker?" I took the beaker offered to me and gratefully taking a sip, not bothered by how similar beakers held organs and other such things.
"You would be wrong about that, young one~." He sat atop of his desk, one leg over the other with a bone biscuit between his teeth, "But I'd be more than happy to warm you up, hihihi~." My face got a very red and I just threw a half-hearted glare and sipped my tea. The nerve and I'm in disguise as a man and I could only be so awkward before someone loses consciousness from my fury.
"Try it and see what happens." I growled although it didn't faze him and his creepy, cheerful nature. I sipped my tea, giving me a shiver from the inviting warmth it provided. Bloody storm, making me stay here in this place and with an odd human at that. I paused for a moment. Human…my mind clicked. When I had summoned my axe earlier, before the demon made his presence, he didn't seem very fazed. Like it was…normal. I shot a glance at the Undertaker, whom was casually munching away on his bone-biscuits.
"Now, young one, it's rude to stare~," I blinked and my cheeks went pink again. However, I kept my demeanor.
"Undertaker," I caught his attention, "Earlier when I had summoned my Death Scythe, you did not react like any other human would. Might I ask why?" This got his full undivided attention on me and he grinned that Cheshire smile of his.
"It's quite simple, young one," He chuckled, setting aside the urn of bone-shaped treats, "I'm an informant broker." I blinked, giving a silent questioning look. He smiled at my confusion and continued.
"You see, young one, as an informant broker, I need to know everything about everyone and everything. But most of my informant skills are either on local murder cases…or information based on the underworld and the occult." He chuckled at my bewildered expression, not saying a word, as if asking him to go on.
"I know much but I give information for a price~ and you had paid for the young Earl earlier."
"What do you mean? I had not given you anything." He giggled at that.
"hihi~ You see, young one, I give information…in exchange for a good laugh." Cue my facepalm and muttering 'freak' under my breath. I sat up again, setting aside my empty beaker.
"Undertaker, how much do you know?"
"I know enough; like I know you, my dear guest, are a Shinigami~." My bi-colored eyes narrowed and I stood up.
"What else?" Undertaker shook his head as I tried to get him to talk.
"I've already told you this much for free, young one~ So, no more you~!" A vein popped on my head, grumbling and itching for my Death Scythe. He hopped off his desk, and headed towards the kitchen, saying the food should be almost done.
"Young one," I turned to look at him, "I will tell you one more thing, free of charge." I turned fully, eager to hear. He stood up straight, his mouth curled into a smile and I could see a faint green glimmer behind his curtain of silver. Slowly, his long finger rested in front of his lips as if to say be quiet. And he muttered something that made my heart stop.
"Be wary of the butler...very wary." And with that, he left the room, leaving me quiet and my heart begging for answers.
Undertaker, I thought, What are you?
Like I said, UTTER. SHIT
So, R & R
Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes
I get very lazy with that
I will try next chappy
I'm going to make Undertaker a real creeper
...Even more so than he already is
Love ya~!
