HI minna! Sorry I haven't posted recently! I had been busy this week. Yana owns Kuro!
A few months had gone by and Lea was fairing ok. She never spoke to anyone but Sebastian and Pluto. She also went on midnight walks around the manor.
One night she walked in a different part of the estate. She traveled through the bushes and grass. She sat down in a little gather of hedges and looked at the bright moon. Pluto howled from a distance, and Lea sung an old song she remembered from somewhere.
Let me shine like the moon,
Brightly glow light so soon,
Lullaby when I leave,
Give you my soul to reap...
"I love that part!" A voice said behind her.
Lea turned around.
There, stood a tall man with silver hair cascading to his knees. He wore a black cloak and a black top hat, and his silvery bangs fell in front of his face.
"I'm past my reaping days anyhow!" He said.
"Who are you?" Lea said backing away.
"You don't remember me?" He said. "You were almost my last reap!"
He pouted and looked at her, then he started laughing until he hit the ground.
"Why are you here!?" She asked alarmed.
She knew just who he was now.
"I just wanted to say hi to the young lord, and then I saw you!" He replied sitting down with her.
"Coming to call this late at night?" She inquired, still quite alarmed.
"A piece of information for Sebastian," he repeated.
"Oh, then hullo my name is Lea Tanaka," she replied calming down.
"Undertaker is my name dearie!" He said.
"Care to join me for a little bit then? I'm awfully lonely," she said quietly.
"Why not hehehe!" The tall one said.
"So, what did you mean by collect my soul?" She asked.
"Well, you see, I come from a funny lot, you could say," he started, plopping down next to her. "They have a big library of deceased people's memories, souls."
"Really?" She was curious. "So you were collecting mine? It isn't much, really."
"I came out of retirement for your soul because they begged me for some reason, but I ended up with the large buffoon's soul hehehehe," he continued.
"So are you similar to a shinigami?"Lea asked.
"I am one, well a retired one," he said solemnly, looking at the moon.
"Fascinating! A real shinigami!" She exclaimed. "Tell me more!"
"We collect the souls of the dying and store them in large record holders," he continued.
"What do souls look like?" She asked.
"Like, well, a collection of pictures in a strip of film," He replied, slightly taken aback by her rabid curiosity.
"Hmmm," she looked at the moon.
Her deep violet eyes glowed in the moonlight like a gleaming garnets. She unraveled her hair and fell back on the grass.
"Better," she said.
" Do you know any jokes? I love jokes!" He randomly asked.
"Yes, quite a few," she replied, sitting up.
She whispered a joke in his ear.
"AHHHHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" he cackled, curling up. "I can't breath!"
Lea chuckled.
" Am I truly that humorous?" She asked.
" Yes my dear, you are quite a jem!" He wiped a tear from under his bangs.
Then he looked strait into could faintly see a glow of green behind his thick bangs.
A hand suddenly fell upon Lea's shoulder.
"I suggest you head back to the house, this man is quite dangerous," Sebastian said.
Lea jumped.
"Yes, sir,"she curtsied. " Good day sir, Undertaker."
"Bye dearie! I hope I hear another one of your delicious jokes soon!" Undertaker said.
"Run along now, Lea! And fix your hair!" Sebastian said, venom growing in his voice.
Lea trotted off into the mansion. She ran into an old man on her way.
"Hello sir," Lea greeted politely.
"ho ho!" The tiny man replied.
"And your name?" Lea persisted.
The man suddenly grew larger.
"Excuse that milady, my name is Tanaka," he replied.
"Tanaka!?" She exclaimed.
