I walk back into the studio after a year of disappearance. " Guess who's back!" All characters look towards me with murderous glares. " The fuck did you go?" Axel growls. Sweat starts to drop as I look towards everyone's disapproving faces. " I'm sorry guys I-" I started off. I get snapped at by Ciel as I get mobbed by characters. " No, no there is no excuse for what you have done child!" Ciel growls. Sebastian comes out with a chest of sorts. " W-what is that?" I question as I feel myself start sweating in fear. " Oh nothing..." Roxanne answers vaguely. " Just something to keep you here and finish an actual chapter after a long ass year!" I cringe from the tone of her voice and the guilt within my bones. " You've even missed the second year anniversary of this damn story! I swear with the way you procrastinate...ugh! I don't even want to think about it!" Ciel yells. Sebastian comes to soothe his bride-to-be. " There, there young master why don't we just continue with what we're about to do." Sebastian says with a sinister smirk. All approach as they begin their evil deed. Ignatius and Jones guards the gruesome scene from the readers. " Now, now Poppets I don't think any of you would like to see what my fellow demons are about to do to Lady Roxelle." Jones cuts in. " Yeah why don't you guys just enjoy this looong awaited chapter!" He says.

" And remember Poppets, Roxelle doesn't own any...well most of us, and all things that you recognize from any show, manga, or literary work don't belong to her." Ignatius reminds.

" Alright on to the chapter!" Jones announces as it all fades to black.

Ciel's POV

With the little bitch out of our way, Sebastian and I can continue on with our engagement party meeting with the rest of the guest inside of the room. I could tell with most of the guest had plastered fake smiles on their faces congratulating the two of us on our upcoming nuptials. Of course they can't say a thing considering my earlier show with the woman not to mention Sebastian's family backing our union there is nothing to worry about...for now.

" My oh my~! How simply del~icious!" I hear an all to familiar voice pur as Sebastian and I were finished talking to the Banshees. We turned around to see Grell accompanied with William behind him. Unsurprisingly he was wearing a *black fitted gown that fell to the floor to the back, the front has a red flower on his left hip that holds up part of his skirt making an opening that starts on his hip bordered with black frills along with his deep v-neckline the inside of the dress was a vibrant red while on his shoulders held two silk black bows. Being a bit more tasteful he wore long black gloves that went up to his upper arms and black stockings ending mid-thigh of course in normal Grell fashion he wore red high heels.

"Grell please don't start flirting with an almost married man." William warned coming up behind Grell. He dressed for the occasion as well dressed more formally then what I've seen him in last time assuming that's his normal wear. Being the type of man that I've come to know he wore a three piece suit with coat tails with, surprisingly, a red dress shirt, black duvet, black silk gloves, and black dress shoes.

Grell looked at William with an accused look on his face as he pressed a hand to his chest. William just rolled his eyes from the dramatic red headed shinigami and his antics.

" How could you even say such a thing. Especially to a committed woman!" Grell accused flashing a silver ring in William's face. I saw William's face soften at the sight of the ring making me suspicious of the two. Grell snapped his hand back to himself as he wrapped both of his arms around himself as he snubbed the man next to him. " Humph, I don't even want to talk to you right now." He sneered. Grell turned back to me and smiled that sharp smile of his.

" Why don't we talk, a little girl's chat what do you say?" he asked. I looked up towards Sebastian with a questioning look. " Oh fantastic! Come along now." He said dragging me out of Sebastian's arms linking our's together as he started leading me in a different direction. He tilted his head back a bit towards the two confused ravenettes smiling. " Don't worry, Bassy I'll give you your little Ciel back into your adoring~ arms~." He said teasingly. Though when his attention went back to William it wasn't so amused." And YOU, I'll see you later." He said with a bored tone. Turning back around he dragged me somewhere away from the two.

"Ciel! It's been so long since I've last seen you! How have you been little Runt." Grell asked as soon as we were from hearing distance from the two. I adjusted my arm a bit from his hold as we continued to walk together. It's been two years since I've seen he red head and since then, Grell and I have formed a sort of friendship with one another. " Well you know other than getting engaged to that Hunk of a Man of your's." He specified.

" Whatever Tranny it's only been two years." I told him as I took a different drink from another waiter. "Well as you can see we've finally finished that ridiculous mission of ours and I have become a full fledged demon." I told him bluntly. He sighed as he took two flutes expertly off of whatever drinks they were serving tonight. He handed me one of the glasses and I took a little sip of the thing.

" Come on now I at least want a little more details. As you said it's been two years and two years is quite a lot from what you're used to Ciel." He reminded. I rolled my eyes. " Well? What did you go to another continent? Collected something peculiar? Meet some interesting people? What? What!?" He pestered shaking my arm. Hearing his words I felt something come over me as I felt my head lighten a bit I faintly heard children laughing in my head when I felt myself falter in my step. Grell took a firm grip on the arm looped around his steadying me and to make sure I didn't take a spill.

" Woah there dearie I don't want you to spill anything on this dress." He said taking the flute out of my hand tipping it back as he drank both glasses and handed it to another waiter. Grabbing onto my other arm he held me upright he looked at my face in concern. " Are you alright Ciel?" He asked. I saw Rox and Axel come towards us with worried looks. I held up my hand as straightened up when they came towards us.

" Yes, I was just a bit light headed there for a moment. Don't worry about me though I'm fine... I'm fine." I straightened up my posture as I stood and gave them a small smile. " Just what the Hell was in that drink?" I asked them. Roxanne and Grell shook their head as Axel just shrugged.

" I don't know Ciel, but since this is a party full of demons there are things that are bound to be in the drinks. They should be relatively harmless, but to be on the safe side don't drink anything unless one of us hands it to you, and by us I mean the family." Axel advised. Grell made an offended noise making Axel look at him with a slightly apologetic look. " Not that I don't think that your friend is trustworthy but he's not able to just get a regular drink straight from the kitchens, so who knows what things inside the drinks that the waiters serve to him." Axel explained a bit more. Roxanne rolled her eyes as she latched onto her husband's arm.

" I think it's time for us to go, when he starts explaining like this it just spells trouble." Roxanne says as she tugs on Axel's arms. " And please do take my husband's words Ciel. I'll tell the family just to be safe, considering you're prime meat at this event there's no telling what could happen to you. Infact, Grell just take him back to my brother please. There's no telling what his over protective fiancee will say if he hears about this." She says as her last words as she walks away.

"Anyways why don't we just continue where we left off while before I hand you back to your fiancee? Where were we anyways?" Grell asked.

" Very well then. We were talking about what has happened to me over the past two years and you wanted to hear more details. As you can see I've come to be quite close to the Crown Prince and Princess through my time here. I've also gained control of my demon powers as you saw and I've worked with Ignatius and Jones for my training." I informed him. He looked at me with a dull look on his face.

" Oh honey I already knew that just by watching your little display with the two and no one accelerates in training unless you train with those two. Infact I know up in heaven the counterpart of the duo are also quite skilled in their craft one of the higher ups within their legion." Grell said in a dull tone. " Why don't you tell me about before you came down here." He said. I tried to think back to those times but for some odd reason I couldn't really think of my last month in the human world only bits and pieces.

" Well the last month is a little hazy, but I do remember that the collection before our last. Sebastian was acting strange when we came back that night, but then again so was I. " I said with a small smile on my lips remembering that night. " Then the next day when we collected an old acquaintance of his, Bellatrix, she said something that probably triggered our feelings for one another." I told him. Grell just smiled and shivered in his place.

" Ah how adorable! DEATH~!" Grell squealed. " You both are just so dense I swear it would've taken you probably another century together before you finally figured it out. I wonder how possessive is your man?" He bemused. I smirked towards him.

" Oh he's very possessive, especially with the other demons. When my powers awoke he was out getting my engagement ring and during that time an entire hoard of demons came to our home trying to kidnap me and make me their own. The family was holding them back for a while, but when Sebastian came he took care off all the demons in one go." I informed him. Grell had a huge smirk on his face as he laughed a bit.

" Of course, even as your butler I remember how protective he was of you. Now that he'll become your husband, oh my~" He purred. I elbowed him in the side making him curl in to himself.

" What about you Grell what have you been up to?" I asked him as we rounded the ballroom to the dessert table. None of them took my interest as I looked towards Grell for his story.

" Well when you two were working with us to get that demon you wanted remember how I am when I see a handsome man my dear. I just can't help myself but try to get their attention. " He began. I nodded my head and sighed at the thoughts." Well when I was hung all over Sebastian and seemed just taken in by his words and when I wasn't with Sebastian I was with you talking the entire night through since you didn't need to sleep anymore. A month we stayed together and a month I ignored William's presence. When we finished the job, we took the human soul and you took the demon, we departed. The experience left a sour taste in his mouth and Oh, was William mad~. " Grell purred.

I looked up at him with a bewildered look, I don't think I ever really thought of this but this man is an absolute masochist. " After we turned in our completed case and was done for the day I followed William home as is my habit since I just love to mess with him. Once in his home he pinned me to the door and looked at me with such cold eyes. He was so enraged about my attention towards you two as I ignored him he became enraged..." I stopped him before he began on that part of the story.

" Alright, skip that part Grell I don't need to know your activities." I told him. He gave me such a lecherous grin as he licked his lips before he began again.

" That next morning, I felt the after effects of that night." I rolled my eyes as he sighed. " He kissed up my spine and moved towards my left shoulder bringing up my left hand as he kissed my hand. I was bewildered why he did such a thing till there on my ring finger was the brightest red ring on my finger. 'You don't have any other option by to say yes Grell Sutcliffe.' he told me. With that we planned a marvelous wedding! I was going to make you my maid of honor but we couldn't find you during that time." He told me. I looked up at him with a weird look as he smiled. " Yes, my maid of honor, for some odd reason you were the only one I could think of to take that position. When we couldn't find you so I just used Alan. Oh what a lavishing event that turned out to be, and that my dear is the most exciting thing that happened to me." He sighed contently as he finished the rant.

" And what pray tell are you telling the Young Demon, Darling?" We heard a voice asked. Grell turned around and squealed. " Oh William~!" There I saw Sebastian coming towards me as he wrapped an arm around my waist.

" You've become quiet talkative tonight Ciel..." He comments teasingly. I scrunched up my nose and looked up towards him forming a glare.

" What are you talking about Sebastian?" I asked. " I am completely fine!" I assured him as I slightly pouted. He looked down towards me placing his forehead on mine as looking into my eyes.

" Nothing young master you've just been more talkative then usual not to mention that you actually listened to Grell rant. Usually you wouldn't want to hear such tales." He explained. I looked at him a bit offended by his words when I heard laughing come from the side. I turned a bit to see Salem and Dante come towards us. Dante seemed to be exasperated as he held onto his little twin.

" You better watch what you say to him Sebastian next thing you know you're kicked out of the bedroom." Salem teased. Dante sighed as he wrapped an arm around Salem's waist as he tried to come towards me with a hug.

" It seems that *Knight and Cyril have recently come home from their travels and have decided to add a little something to the punch." Dante informed us. Grell smiled as he nudged me with his elbow. Axel must have had part of this since it Cyril and Knight haven't been here for the entire Change ordeal.

" See Ciel, what did I tell you! Prince Astorot was right about such shenanigans that would happen during these events. See Sebastian darling, Ciel is fine just not used to what he we drank." Grell explained.

" Or what we 'mericans like to call spikin' the punch." Benjamin said popping out of nowhere speaking in such a ridiculous and over bearing accent. Sebastian just looked at him in disdain. I don't understand why must he speak so, couldn't he just talk regularly?

" Please don't start Vladimir I would hate to spill your blood on Mother's new flooring." Sebastian sighed. Benjamin just shrugged his shoulders as he leaned an arm on one of Dante's shoulders.

" Speaking of K and Ril where are those two anyways?" Benjamin asked. We all looked around finding no other red heads, ravenettes or Sebastian type hair.

" I don't know why don't you bug someone else Benjamin." Dante advised. Benjamin just jumped at his brother making Dante catch the fake american with one hand behind the knees and the other around the shoulders.

" I don't know Dan I like teasing you!" Benjamin said snuggling into his brother's chest. Salem rolled his eyes towards the two as he looked back towards me smirking. He looked me up and down with analytical eyes as he smirked wider.

" I don't kno-ow Grell. Who knows it might be for some...~other reason~." He said giddily eying me one last time before he turned towards the other two ridiculous siblings and jumped high before he axed kick Benjamin out of Dante's arms with little to no mercy. Happy that he didn't get his lover Salem jumped into Dante's arms and snuggled into the larger demon.

" Perfect." He commented as he looked down towards Benjamin, and back towards us with approval." It's time for me to retire for the night. This body can't take functioning without rest so I must bid you all a good-night." Salem said. Taking that as a cue Dante sighed in relief as he and Salem disappeared in a puff of smoke.

" We must say good-bye as well Demon. Grell and I must head back to headquarters and tell the higher ups of your upcoming nuptials." William said as he took Grell by the arm. " Till the next time..."

" Oh and Ciel don't bother looking for a reception party dress. I'll bring one over that is to DIE~ for." Grell said winking as he followed his husband out of the place.

All around us it seems that all sorts of demons were falling into the effects of the drink getting rowdier and rowdier. Sebastian tightened his grip as he saw more unwanted stares come my way in the ballroom. He looked down at me and I nodded understanding the need to get away. We walked towards one of the attendants of the party and told them that we were going to be retiring for the night and to put Cyril and Knight to be the one to close the party.

Once gone we sighed a breath of relief and went back to our home knowing that the next morning would be bombarded with unwanted family.

* Grell's dress in The Most Beautiful Death In The World

Sebastian's other brother and sister who I don't mention as much.

Alright so as you can see I'm back! I'll try to make up what I missed, but no promises, again I hate breaking those. I don't know why but last year I just lost my entire anime/fangirl groove. I don't know how but I regained it again and restarted what I liked doing from before, which was quite a lot of things actually. You guys probably don't know this but I was actually checking up on this story every now and again especially with the comments and I felt so happy when I saw you guys review even if it's been a year since I last updated. I made myself write this thing because I just love you guys and I want to move on to the next chapters. I've actually been writing this chapter and the next so don't worry I'm not discouraged or bored of it I just had a long lapse of writer's block. So please keep reviewing because if I'm gone for a long period of time I still check on this and when I see reviews it motivates me to go on.

Remember: Reviews=Motivation, Motivation=Updates
