Chapter 3

Grell awoke in a cold damp room. The smell was rather unpleasant. Trying to focus, he saw the demon in the corner opposite of him. Several wall candles illuminated the small four walled room.

"W-where am I?" Grell asked. He tried to shake off the fear as the demon stood up.

"Hnn?" he smiled and walked over to Grell removing his gloves. Tears welled up in the shinigami's eyes.

"D-d-don't come any closer" he shouted.

"You don't want me here?" Sebastian faked a sad voice and looked down at Grell, who was now crying. Suppressing his own wants and desires he reached down and grabbed a bit of Grell's shirt and pulled him off the ground.

"Seba-"

"You murdered those girls didn't you?"

"N-no! I didn't" grell grabbed Sebastian's arm and tried to move. "I was being detained for my actions! I had nothing to do with them." Tears streaked down Grells face.

Forgetting his own reasons, Sebastian tossed grell into the other corner of the room. He had looked like a small rag doll when he hit, sending a small un-noticeable shock through Sebastian.

"p-p-please!" he begged trying to fix himself; he knew William couldn't save him here.

"Ohh, I love it when you beg" Sebastian walked over to Grell and slid his fingers up his hest and across his chin. He let them rest on his lips

"Don't you understand?" Sebastian leaned in to whisper. "I don't believe you…" he smiled and stood up. Grell gasped and then covered his face with his hands.

"D-d-don't, please don't!"

"Prove it"

"What?"

"Its plain English shinigami, prove it!" he laughed for a moment "don't you understand?" Sebastian picked up a mocking voice and stared down at the death god.

"William took me and punished me, it's the first time I've been to earth in weeks!"

"How can I trust you?"

"He took my weapon, the only thing that can kill a shinigami"

"Hehe the angel of death pleading for its life…how amusing."

"Please believe me!"

"Then show me!"

"Show you what" Grell shouted in return.

"SHOW ME!" Sebastian pulled Grell off the floor again and demanded that the wounds be shown. The red head removed his shirt and dropped it to the floor.. Bruises, cuts and a set of stitches covered his body,

"What more do you want!" Grell stood there and cried more as he pleaded with the demon.

"Kill me and you will suffer!" he tried to threaten.

"I am a demon, master of pain, your threats mean nothing" outside the cellar footsteps came closer. Sebastian turned his head as the cellar door opened.

"Grell's innocent…so he says"

"probably guilty" Ciel commented.

"What do you want me to do with him?"

"Whatever you like, just don't bother me with him"

"yes my lord" his eyes shimmered and he turned back to Grell.

"let me nurture those wounds." He grabbed Grell's wrist and pulled him close, slowly sliding his finger over his chest and onto the stitches that adorned his collar bone. Gently Sebastian pulled them out listening to grell scream..

"You let me go!" he demanded.

"I wouldn't be very good at my job now would i?" he laughed and stared into Grell's eyes.

"I am a demon after all." Sebastian leaned into Grell's neck and licked off the blood slightly smearing it with his tongue.

"First time I've tasted a gods blood…I wonder how your flesh tastes." He played around with the blood a little before reopening a wound on his arm.

"Please, please stop it"

"I love my snack a little feisty."

"I don't want to die" Grell began to black out but Sebastian ignored this. He soon realized that a sick and dying snack was suitable.

"Let go!" Grell lost his footing and collapsed. Sebastian had caught him and gently placed him down on the ground.

"You really are pathetic."

"Maybe I should die"

"Why do you say that?" he questioned.

"Because I am going to die, you're going to kill me." He mumbled. The demon looked at him, showing no emotion to the dying shinigami.

"How exactly are you dying?" he was curious, so he knelt down to the red head.

"You reopened wounds made by a shinigami's weapon." Sebastian stood up and walked to the door as grell was about to pass out. He knew that with that motion the shinigami would think he'd leave him there to die and that would be his sleeping thoughts as he passed out.

When Grell woke up he didn't know where he was. He could hear the birds chirping and the soft rustling of leaves.

"Hello?" he called. Grell opened his eyes to see a room well decorated.

"How do you feel?" the voice stared. The shinigami quickly looked around and to his surprise he locked eyes with the devil, Sebastian.

"You bastard, you could have killed me"

"But I didn't, I saved your life"

"From you!" he grew angry. He dint know what to say or do.

"When you feel better ill let you run" Sebastian said and gave Grell a smile. He closed his eyes and turned around.

"Why"

"Why what," Sebastian replied.

"I…I loved you, why would I run." He said sadly. Sebastian walked over to the side of the bed.

"Well, if you don't run, I might be forced to kill you…" he added another demon smile. There had been a long silence, and grell became insistent on ignoring the demon.

The next day when Grell was supposed to leave was very quiet. The demon escorted the red head off the grounds.

"You could have"

"But I didn't" he whispered.

"Why?" Grell turned around at looked into Sebastian's cold eyes.

"Merely a whim"

"You can't lie to me demon…" Grell whimpered.

"You're right." A twisted grin ran across his face. "I lied." He leaned forward and kissed Grell… he was working hard to suppress his own needs. He broke the kiss and walked away leaving Grell standing silent, speechless.

"Yo-you bastard." He mumbled.

-….

"You reek." Ciel said. Sebastian felt embarrassed and left co clean himself up.

He let the shower run hot before stepping in. He pulled his wet hair back and stood there for minutes in solitude.

"Damn it!" he cursed. He remembered the dreams…the night in the cellar and the sweet departing kiss. "What have I done?"

He remembered his master, the needy child he "loved", the nights with him and the desire for his soul. He touched the contract on his left hand.

"Can I?" he would soon have his soul, but he didn't want the loss of his master. He finally saw what it meant to be human.

The end.
