Moonlight: Hi again! It's Moonlight, once again. I'm here to say the disclaim-
Ciel: Actually Moonlight, I would like to do them today.
Moonlight: Oh, ok!
Ciel: Ahem, Moonlight does not own anything except Moonlight, Kuroro, the wolf pups, and the plot.
Moonlight: Thank you, Ciel! Please review!
Chapter 4: The Undertaker
Moonlight's POV
I wake up in the sunlight once again. I sit up and stretch, then started looking around for the pups. They were nowhere to be seen. "Minuit? Ombre?" I call out, thinking that they were on the floor. None of them came. I get up and morph into a purple dress with long sleeves and put on my locket, morphing the stone to black. I leave my room, and began searching for the pups. I see Finny down a hallway, so I ran up to him up to him. "Finny! Have you seen the pups?" I ask, panting. "The pups? Yea, they're outside. I just put them out there." Finny answers. "Oh, thank goodness…" I breathe. "Why?" Finny asks. "I thought Sebastian did something with them." I explain. "Oh, I see." Finny says. I take another sigh of relief, then ran outside. I end seeing the pups with Pluto. "Puppies!" I yell. They look up and run up to me, knocking me over. I laugh and started running around with them. Pluto got excited and started chasing me too, causing me to fly up in the air every time he took a running step. I eventually end up falling over. I get up and wipe myself like I'm covered in dust, then started getting bored, when I saw that Ciel was getting into a carriage. "Hey Ciel!" I call out. "Call me Master Ciel, if you don't mind." Ciel says, causing his vein to pop out. "Ok, Master Ciel!" I try again. "What is it, Moonlight?" Ciel asks, replying to me this time. "Where are you going?" I ask, curious. "To town to figure out another killing spree mystery." Ciel answers. "Oh, may I come with you?" I ask. "No. This is my business." Ciel says, then dismisses Sebastian to close the door. He does then gets in with Ciel, and leaves, leaving me in the dust. 'Hmph, I'll just go to town myself!' I think. 'After all, I'm not coming with him, I'm going by myself.' I think, then had my wing come out, only two wings came out instead of one. 'Whoa I have a black and a white wing! Cool, it'll make it easier to fly!' I thought. I was about to fly up in the air when the pups started whining. "No, you must stay. I can't bring all of you!" I say, petting all of them. I whistle for Pluto to come over, and he stands over the pups, making sure they don't follow. I wave good-bye to them, then leap into the air. Kuroro pops over my shoulder, I yelp. "Kuroro! My, you're really good at scaring me!" I say, scratching his ear. He mews.
I fly for a while till I find the undertaker's place. 'This is the spot Ciel will check first.' I thought. I put my wings away before anybody could see, then fell in front of the store. My legs snap like toothpicks, and a lady nearby screams. "No, no! I'm alright!" I yell, trying to reassure everybody nearby. People begin to surround me. "Are you alright?" A man yells. "Yes, I-"Are you hurt?" "Are your legs broken?" "What were you doing so high?" "I'M FINE!" I scream. Everybody went silent. "Thank you for worrying about me, but I'm fine, honestly." I say, reassuring them. I bend my legs all around, causing them to crack multiple times really loud, then stood up. "Are you a witch?" One lady says, backing up. "Of course not! It's a curse that a witch put on me, but I'm not a witch." I lie. "Now if you excuse me, I need to go into this shop." I say, pushing past people. People begin whispering about me and Kuroro and saying things like 'I'm lying' and 'theres proof on her shoulders' and blah blah blah.
I walk into the store to see nobody in here. "Hmm, I guess no one's here…" I say, before a coffin right next to me opens up, revealing a man with long grey hair, a long black top hat, and a black robe and a grey scarf around his shoulder and waist. He giggles while he opens it, and I just stand there, unaffected by the event. "Oh, you're no fun!" he grumbles. "Were you trying to scare me? I'm sorry, but there's only one thing that scares me." I say, trembling. "And what would that be, my dear?" He asks, putting his hands on my shoulders. "When... I expect you know Ciel Phantomhive, correct?" I ask, making sure he does. "Correct, he's been coming here lately and he's one of my acquaintances." He answers. "Well, his butler, Sebastian, scares me when he's angry." I say, trembling at the thought. "Ah, yes. Sebastian Michaelis. I suspect you know them pretty well to see Sebastian's angry side, then." The man said. "Yes, I live with them." I add. "Oh, really now?" the man says, now interested. "Indeed. Anyways, Ciel is on his way over here for another killing spree mystery. I wanted to come along with him, but of course, Ciel said no. So, I came on my own." I say, smiling up at the man. "Interesting. Well if you want any information out of me, you must make me laugh." The man says. "Before I make you laugh, may I ask you your name?" I ask politely. "Just call me Undertaker." The Undertaker says, waving his hand up and down. "Ok, it is a pleasure to meet you, Undertaker! I would expect that you would like to know my name?" I suggest. "Yes, I would." The Undertaker says. "Alright, my name is Moonlight." I say, sticking out my hand. He takes it and we shake. I stand back, trying to think of a way to make him laugh. 'I don't know any jokes that he would get… ah maybe this plan will work!' I think, smiling. "Be prepare to laugh!" I say, preparing the Undertaker. "Hit me with your best shot!" the Undertaker taunts.
I grin evilly, then appear behind him, and started tickling him. Turns out, he's really REALLY ticklish. He begins to cackle loudly, and I continue tickling him. He falls to the ground, still laughing. I continue to tickle him, and he was laughing so hard, I heard his sign fall off outside. I continue to tickle him till I see tears streaming down his face. I stop, get up, and laugh, having a good time. The Undertaker finally stops laughing and gets up. "Ah… I wasn't expecting that! Very clever, no one has ever done that! Very clever thinking!" the Undertaker congratulates me. "Why, thank you! After all 'how sad would it be if laughter should disappear?'" I say. The Undertaker looks at me directly and if his bangs weren't in the way, he would be looking me directly in the eye. He smiles a huge smile and sits his hand on my head.
"Indeed, how sad would it be?" He continues grinning. Suddenly, the door to the shop opens, revealing Ciel and Sebastian. "M-Moonlight, what are you doing here? I thought I said you couldn't come along!" Ciel states. "I didn't come along, I came on my own." I say. "Hmph!" Is all Ciel does before asking the Undertaker if he could have information about the killings. "Yes, every victim is a young maiden and their female organs have been cut out and a killer slice on the neck." The Undertaker said. "Hmm… Sebastian…" Ciel continued saying something but I was no longer listening. Instead, I was looking around, bored. After a while, I looked back to where Ciel was supposed to be standing, to find him not there. "Uh…" I began, but the Undertaker interrupted me. "Ciel told me to leave you here with me, so you wouldn't get hurt." The Undertaker said. "That little bastard…" I say, shaking my fist, my vein popped out. "Now, now, why don't you help me with the bodies?" the Undertaker suggested. I sigh and say "Fine…" and I follow him into a back room.
It was a couple of hours when it got dark out. "I'll… be right back!" I say, running out of the shop, finding Ciel. I run, and I begin to smell blood. I run faster until I see Sebastian and a red headed man fighting. "Hmm, I think I'll call you Bassy! What do you say, Bassy?" the man says. I don't pay attention to their conversation because I spotted Ciel being held down by a red headed lady with a knife in her hand. I sprint and kick her in the head. "How dare you!" I yell. She was surprised that I was here, not even knowing who I was. The red headed man, or I think it was a man, shouted "Oh, no you don't!" and lunges his chainsaw into my chest. I puke out blood and fall over, dead.
Ciel's POV
I was still processing what happened when Moonlight fell over dead, in front of me. "What's going on! Why can't I see her life!" Grell shouted. Moonlight began to glow blue, then she started coughing. Grell was taken aback by this, then he said "An immortal? This must be taken care of!" He continue sawing Moonlight and she kept on dying. After a while with Moonlight dying multiple times, I finally said "Just what are you doing, Grell?" He stops and looks at me. "Normally, an immortal can only die so many times, and they aren't allowed to live because of their immortality. But it seems she really is immortal. It looked like Grell finally got on Moonlight's nerve because she was standing up and had an evil glint in her eyes, and you can see her blackish bloody red aura. She grabbed Grell's chainsaw, and bent it in half! "AH, MY DEATHSCYTHE!" Grell shouted. Moonlight then turned and just walked away. "Hey, come back here!" Grell shouted, but Sebastian interfered. "Now we can concentrate on our battle….
Moonlight's POV
I continue walking, leaving a bloody trail behind me, not really caring. 'That jerk! He was so close on breaking my necklace!' I thought, looking over my necklace. I walk up to the Undertaker's shop once again and go in. The Undertaker was nowhere to be seen. "Undertaker?" I call out. No answer. I begin checking coffins. I still didn't find him. "Yes, what is it?" the Undertaker says, walking out of the backroom. 'Why didn't I think of checking the backroom?' I thought. "I'm just saying I'm ba-"Oh, my! Look at those wounds! You must let me fix them up!" The Undertaker begged. "Of course, but first, what do you like more, cleaning wounds or laughing?" I question. "Hmm…. Laughing. Now can I clean your wounds?" The Undertaker continues to beg. "Here, you can clean my wounds instead of making you laugh, deal?" I suggest. "Hmm, so you're just going to cut yourself open for me to clean them?" The Undertaker questions. "Yes, cause I'm sure you love cleaning wounds." I say. "Oh, of course! You have a deal then!" The Undertaker exclaims, now pushing me into the backroom.
It was an hour later when the Undertaker finally finished my wounds. I look them over, and it looks like nothing ever happened. "Thank you!" I say, bowing. "No, thank you! I haven't had a customer with such bad wounds as yours for a long time. Also, you're immortal, aren't you?" The Undertaker questions me. I hesitate, then say "Yes, I think a man name Grell tried to kill me, to destroy me, because immortals don't deserve to live." I say, thinking about it. "You aren't, and that man is Grell Sutcliff, a grim reaper. It would seem that the Underworld will begin looking for you. I, myself, was once a grim reaper, but of course, I am retired, and now work here." The Undertaker says. "Oh, I see… What does the Underworld want to do with me, after they get me?" I question. "They will try to destroy you, of course." The Undertaker says, looking down at me. "But they can't, the only way to destroy me is destroying the jewel inside of me, here let me show you." I explain, sticking out hand, flames engulfing it, leaving behind my dagger. I thrust it into my chest, and blood shoots out, causing my knees to buckle. I reach into my chest and pull out the jewel.
"My, is that the Jigoku Hikari jewel? I've only heard of it in stories." The Undertaker says, examining it. "Yes it is. It's what keeps me alive. If this were to be destroyed, all of hell would break out." I say. "Yes indeed. And there's only one thing that can break it, and that is unknown." The Undertaker adds. I put the jewel back inside, and the Undertaker sewed up the hole back up. "Thank you." I bow, then my curiosity started bothering me. I really wanted to know what was under those bangs…. I stood there staring at him, then he started staring at me. We stood there for a while, staring at each other, till I moved his bangs. I stared deep into his eyes, and I'm pretty sure I was blushing. "That is why I have bangs…" the undertaker says, removing my arm from his head. I was too stunned to move. I end up falling into his arms, my eyes wide open. After a couple of minutes, I regain my poster. I bow low, saying "I'm so sorry… my curiosity got the better of me…" The undertaker waves his hand up and down. "It's alright! I'm fine with it, but now you know why I have bangs." The Undertaker says. Suddenly the door opens and Ciel comes in with the red headed lady in Sebastian's arms. "What happen?" I ask, confused that Ciel would have the lady be brought in here. "Madam Red was killed by Grell." Sebastian says. "Oh, but why are you helping her?" I ask once again. "This is Ciel's aunt; Madam Red." Sebastian explains. "Oh…" I mumble, embarrassed that I attacked her. They chat for a bit with the Undertaker, but I wasn't listening anymore. I was too ashamed for attacking Madam Red. I walk to the door. "I'm going back to the mansion if you want me." I say, bow, then leave.
I jump into the air and fly to the mansion. After a while, I get there, then I go into the mansion, the pups following. I realize that it's dark. "Guys? Anybody here?" I call out. Kuroro jumps off of my shoulders, sniffing the air. I continue walking into the darkness. I continue to walk, then I realize I'm alone. "Hello?" I call out, beginning to panic. 'Take deep breaths, Moonlight. It's just the darkness. You're used to it.' I listen to myself and take deep breaths. I continue to walk, until something hit me hard on the neck, making me pass out.
Moonlight: You like? Well I hope you did. Anyways, please review!
