He watched the reaper’s fear turn to concern for him. He must have looked worn down, never stopping to rest since the loss of his desired meal. It had been months and there was nothing but death to whatever he came into contact with. But Grell... There was no reason to attack the crimson reaper.

When Grell came over and wiped the blood from his face he reached up and placed his hand over hers. “Such a kind beauty to want to help a beast...” The demon said and quickly looked away when he sensed the other reapers already getting close.

The demon glanced to Grell for a moment then hurrying off back to the shadows. Down the street, the third left to the apartment building. He would hide here until Grell came for him. Though in the back of his mind he wondered if this was a trap. Sebastian had his guard up if that was the case. Grell was still a shinigami, the enemy. It was against everything they were for a god of death to care for a demon.

Sebastian wasnt surprised by how startled the reaper got with his current state. In this hideous form he took when he had no master. For a moment he stared over at Grell figure, remembering their fights with each other and alongside each other. He had nothing against the reaper, he was only following orders at the time.

At the question the demon heaved a sigh and held his head in his hand. “Quite possibly. In more ways than one.” He stated to Grell. “I had to kill Ciel... I lost the soul I’ve been after for years...” There was a low growl to his tone and he raked his claws down the brick wall, causing sparks and leaving deep gashes in the bricks. “I was so hungry.” Sebastian gritted his teeth in frustration. He felt at war with himself.

He turned his gaze back to the redhead, Grell wouldnt hurt him. He hoped that the reaper was still on his side even after all the time had passed. “I’m sorry for how I treated you in the past, I couldnt get close to you like you wanted with my master in the way.” Sebastian apologized softly.

Okay, this was getting ridiculous.

Grell leaned forward, elbows touching her desk and chin on her palms. There were murmurs all over dispatch about this whole demon hunt thing and she- a senior officer- had not been approached with a single task concerning it. This was William’s doing no doubt, how unfair! She sighed, picking up her pen again and put it to paper before pausing as someone approached her desk.

“Er- Reaper Sutcliff?” A new face, must be one of the new kids that just joined London Dispatch.

“Mnhm?”

“R-Reaper Claxton is ill. One of the other reapers said you would be able to pick up his shift?” Grell nodded, took the paper handed to her and watched the newbie scuttle away. Oh well, anything was better than sitting here. Wait, investigation shift? Well well, nice try, William!

Three Reapers in one place was truly an ominous sight, though Grell’s flamboyant coloring did brake up the somber look of the other two. “There are a few locations where unscheduled deaths took place, we could cover more ground if I and Reaper Burton took a few to the north and you checked around some of the ones east from here.” The sober-looking brunette reaper suggested to Grell who was more than happy to agree to a plan that let her shake off Will 2.0 and his trainee for a little while. Grell produced a notebook from her coat and checked it,

“Alright, we meet back here in a hour.”

“And if anything should go wrong?” Reaper Burton added quickly, the idea of looking for a demon obviously did not sit well with him. Grell giggled, perhaps not the most comforting sound in the world.

“If anything goes wrong, you have Reaper Clark with you. Otherwise we regroup and report in an hour from now.”

Grell walked along a smaller street in a now darkening london humming to herself as she approached the scene of one of the deaths. The sight was more spectacular than she had expected, the stone floor of the alley and side of the buildings were still darkened from where blood had kissed them with its crimson splatters. She looked all around, unsure how the scene of the crime was going to help her catch the demon right now. She sighed loudly, adjusting her scythe where it rested on her shoulder and headed further down the darkened alley. Maybe if she got ‘lost’ enough the demon would mistake her for a snack and come to her?
