Ciel took off the over coat that Sebastian had put on him and placed it on top off Madam Red's lifeless body. "She shall now rest in eternal peace, no tears are shed in heaven my lord." Scarlett said as she stood over the kneeling Ciel. "I suppose so." He said as he stood up from his bloody aunt. "Young master, look at them. They almost seem equally matched." Scarlett commented as she watched Grell and Sebastian land on the high rooftops above. "Come now Bassy, I really don't know what you see in those two. We could be happy together if you just defy thy master, and forget all about that Irish harlot." Grell said as Sebastian smirked back at him and said, "I am bound in an eternal contract to both of them until I have preformed what I promised to both of them. All three of us bear a marking that binds us to one another, and until we all have been released from the contract that binds us, we all are one another's. I swear it by yonder moon." Scarlett looked on with her arms crossed, and anger in her eyes, and mumbled to herself, "I may be many things, but a harlot is not one of them. I am a pure hearted virgin, blessed by an angel himself. My purity is not something to be doubted." Grell then spun around, like a feather falling to the ground and said, "To swear by something as inconstant as the moon, how can I believe your words. Yet I see your eyes and know what your lips and hands long to do. You caress my softly with your deviant gaze. It's too much Bassy; I would bare your children if only you would let me." Grell then held his stomach. "Yes, and what a beautiful brood you both would have. You two make the most perfect pair. Oh Grell, I can only dream of having such a perfect mate as Sebastian, how you make me jealous by having him all to yourself." Scarlett shouted to the both of them. Sebastian turned around to face her and let out a bit of a growl while he said, "If you make another remark even remotely alike to that one ever again, I swear you will be truly sorry." Scarlett only smiled and waved. Scarlett and Ciel watched Sebastian and Grell fight and fight as if time was no matter and the battle would be eternal. Finally there was a break in the never ending cycle of fighting. Grell had caught Sebastian off his guard and cut a deep wound into his chest. Film then escaped his chest, it was his cinematic record. "Come now dearest, the master is tired, my clothes are soaked with my blood and your coat is ruined, will you please try to hurry this affair up." Scarlett yelled. "Yes, I assure you this will be done and over within only few minutes." Sebastian answered. He then removed his wool tail coat and put it into the gears of the chainsaw. "Look at him; I didn't know he could fight so well using only his fists." Scarlett commented as she watched Sebastian kick and punch Grell endlessly. He then delivered a punch to the face that sent Grell flying off the rooftops and overhead of Scarlett and Ciel. Grell was then falling to the ground, right overhead Ciel. Scarlett then jumped up and kicked Grell so that Ciel was not to be harmed. "It seems you miscalculated." Scarlett commented as Sebastian murmured, "Indeed." Grell gave a moan, signaling that he was still alive. "It looks as though you cannot kill a soul reaper with only fists, I will just use his very special scythe to end this mess then." Sebastian said as he tore his wool coat out of the gears of the chainsaw. Sebastian stood over Grell, chainsaw raised above his head, ready to have the chainsaw come crashing down on the reaper beneath him. "No, please don't, I can tell you who killed the boy's parents!" Grell exclaimed. Sebastian only gave a wicked smile as the chainsaw came crashing down. The chainsaw was met by the long pole with sharp shears on the end. "Look what you've done. We will now face the consequences for our actions towards the reaper." Scarlett said as she raised a bloody palm to her fore head. "I apologize for interrupting, let me introduce myself, I am William T. Spears. I work with the grim reaper's staffing association. I have come to retrieve that reaper there." William said as he retracted the pole and jumped down from the rooftop, landing on Grell's face. "Attention reaper Grell Sutcliff, you have violated several regulations. First, you have killed several people who are not on the to die list. Second, you have modified your death scythe without authorization. Third, you have threatened to kill divine being, and finally you offered strictly classified information to someone about their relative's deaths. I apologize for all the trouble this reaper has caused you." William said as he bowed his head. Scarlett got up and walked over to them and stood a few feet away from Sebastian, analyzing the situation. "Honestly, I thought the day would never come when I would see a divine being working with a demon." William said as he began to walk past them both with Grell's hair in hand. William then in a flash took hold of Scarlett's arm and turned her to face him and said, "I advise you to do as I am about to do and distance yourself from this demon scum." William then let go of Scarlett and left with Grell in his follow. Scarlett was a bit surprised by what William had just said, but she was too tired to be too surprised. She then stumbled back over to Ciel, Sebastian in her follow. She then bent over and placed her hand on Ciel's cheek and said, "Well it seems both of us are chilled to the bone, shall we take our leave of this place." Scarlett then raised herself with Ciel. He then fell into her and she instinctively placed her arm around him, but Ciel only slapped it away. This action left Scarlett a bit surprised by her master's actions towards her. "Stay back, I do not need you to help me to walk, you are the only one that needs to help to walk." Ciel said. "I suppose you are right young master…" Scarlett said as she felt Sebastian's arms wrap around her and pick her up. "What in christ's name do you think you are doing?" Scarlett asked with a hint of anger in her voice. "I am just carrying you, you seemed in need of some help." Sebastian answered as he began to follow his master out of the alley. "Put me down please, you know I have the worst of balance." Scarlett said, for she feared she would fall out of Sebastian's grasp. "Well hold fast to me." Sebastian said as he walked forward with Scarlett in his arms. "Yes, but you are terribly bloody." Scarlett said as she tried to put her arms around Sebastian's neck without touching him too terribly much. "You are bloody as well." Sebastian stated. "I know, but still…" Sebastian then jumped forward, making Scarlett hold fast to Sebastian. Her eyes were clenched and her body seemed to almost be wrapped around Sebastian's body. Sebastian only looked down at Scarlett and smiled, for he liked the way the crimson blood was painted on her clenched features.
"Beautiful crimson always suited Madam Red, for she was so passionate that it led to her demise. Crimson blood and petals." Scarlett said as she examined a soft rose petal with her fingertips. Sebastian and Scarlett stood by the carriage filled with rose petals and let them flow out and be carried into the church. They stood solemnly and silently, watching Ciel say his final goodbyes to Madam Red. A beautiful sight it was, scarlet petals filled the dreary air and added life and movement to the black, dead church. All the figures in black stood, amazed as the petals spread through the air.
"Apparently she immigrated here, therefore she had no family, and no one to claim her body." Ciel said solemnly as he looked the grave over. "Yes, the kind hearted earl here had me pretty her up and give her a proper burial. Quite a noble act I'd have to say." The undertaker said as he let one of his black nails brush against Ciel's cheek. "No, the noble thing to do would have been to save her, but I did not care about her, I only cared about catching Jack the ripper, and for that she paid the price." Ciel answered. "You regret what you did my lord?" the undertaker asked as he bent down closer to Ciel. "No, I do not regret what I did, Jack the ripper is gone forever and I have done exactly as my majesty has ordered." The undertaker then said, "Victoria eh, I don't much care for her. She just sits back and watches you do all her dirty work for her. Doesn't seem fair to me." Ciel then answered, "That is what the Phantomhives do, it's our duty. It's been passed down through generations, just like this ring." "That ring reminds me of a collar a master puts on a dog. You're forever tied to the queen by the leash of duty." The undertaker then closed in on Ciel. "I chose this life!" Ciel exclaimed as he tried to push the undertaker away. The undertaker then took Ciel by his neck tie and told him, "Lord Phantomhive, be weary of the path that which duty will take you, that collar may choke you yet." The undertaker then pushed Ciel away and into Scarlett's arms and walked away.
"It was noble." Sebastian said as Ciel placed the flowers on the newly dug grave. "Do not make me repeat myself, what I did was not noble." Ciel answered solemnly. "Well I thought it was, but if you think not, maybe it was weakness." Ciel then turned to face Sebastian. "What?" Ciel asked. "Tell me, why didn't you kill her. I know Scarlett is relatively weak, but still she could of killed a feeble human. She only let herself get wounded because you did not order her to kill Madam Red, she was only ordered to protect you. Why did you not defend yourself master?" Sebastian said. "I held back because I was testing you both. Testing to see what lengths you both would go to protect me, it is after all your job to keep me safe and do as I order." Sebastian then said, "Well you stopped me from killing her as well." Ciel answered, "When she moved to kill me she hesitated, I didn't think she would be able to kill me, her kin, her sister's son. One wrong move can cost you your life, just like chess. She hesitated, and lost site of her next move, that's all there is to it. That's why I don't hesitate." Sebastian gave a devilish smile to that and answered, "That's what I expect to hear, always skillfully manipulating your pieces, that's how you survive. Use me, use us, any piece with in your reach, even if the bodies of your pawns begin to pile up at the feet of your thrown, because if the king falls, the whole game will be lost." "I wont hesitate, I wont regret the moves I've made. Sebastian, Scarlett, you both are the only people that can never betray me, and you can never leave my side, that's an order." "Yes my young lord." They both said simultaneously.
