A/N: a small story i thhought up while thinking of the next chapter of 'something new' please tell me what you think!

As the Millennium Earl walked gaily through the misty night towards his the graveyard just at the end of this path absently humming to himself swinging his pink umbrella as he skipped towards his destined location.

When he finally reached the graveyard he could hear soft sobbing, knowing instinctively where the said sobbing was coming from he immediately set off towards the location.

At the end of the graveyard sat a woman leaning over a newly dug grave, her brown hair clung to her face in the dim night, her eyes red from crying herself almost senseless.

The earl approached her and sat a comforting hand on her shoulder "there, there my child, what seems to be the problem?" he asked with fake sympathy.

The girl hesitantly looked up, her blank eyes blinked trying to focus on the person standing above her.

" W-who are you?" she asked with a broken voice, struggling to stand up.

"Oh you sweet girl, at the moment I'm not the important one" the Earl replied waving his hand dismissively "The important one at this moment is 'YOU'" he emphasized the word you by poking the woman with a white gloved hand.

"M-me?" she asked with a shaky voice and stared at the Earl with large tear filled eyes.

The Earl simply nodded with his ever present grin on his face "yes, you~" he almost sang while rocking back and forth on his heels.

"If I may ask" he said once again putting a hand on the girls shoulder "Who is it that god has taken away from you?" he asked in an indifferent tone.

"M-my h-husband" she said while breaking out in tears once again.

"Oh my sweet child!" he broke out in what sounded like grief while not ever breaking the grin on his face. He seemed to think for a while but soon snapped his fingers and bent down by the grieving woman "say, what would you give to have your husband by your side once again?" he asked her.

A sudden hope lit inside the woman's gray eyes tear streaked eyes but soon dulled once again.

"That's impossible" she stated simply.

The Earl just kept grinning at the woman knowing that he had caught her.

"Why nothing is completely impossible" he said turning his back to her seeming to walk away.

"W-wait!" she yelled after her which made the Earl grin even larger. "I-is it true?" she asked hope filling her voice.

"Well…" he drew the word out seeming to think about it for a short moment and then turned back to her "I would need your help" he finally said.

"I'll do anything in my power!" she agreed quickly but then faltered a bit "but I don't know of how much help I could possibly be" she whispered mostly to herself.

"Oh don't worry about that" the Millennium Earl said jumping back a few paces "all I need is your voice you see" he said grinning at her "all you have to do is sign this" he held up a parchment and pointed at a line at the bottom of the paper "If you'll just sign here" he said gaily.

After signing the paper she stood up a bit more steadily on her feet walking towards the Earl who stood beside what seemed to be a skeleton man out of steal.

"I-is this it?" she asked wearily looking at the earl.

"Yes~" he said meekly taking a few steps back "now all you have to do is call your loved ones name and he'll come back to you"

The Earl watched like always from the shadows as the scene took place, he had seen it so many timed that it didn't even face him anymore, when it was all over he walked over to the new akuma and sent it off to find and destroy the Exorcists and they're cursed innocence. Just when he was about to walk away to his next offers location a movement caught his eye and he walked over to the tombstone where the grieving woman once had knelt.

At his feet lay what looked like a wrapped piece of clothing; a moving piece of clothing.

He bent down and moved a piece of the cloth and gasped.

Two pare of gray eyes bored into his making the Earl's face heat up a bit.

The baby was beautiful probably the most beautiful baby he had ever seen; pale skin, big gray-blue eyes, and white feather looking hair.

The baby started cooing and giggling while reaching out his hand towards the Earl which made his eyes grow even bigger and his face even hotter.

He looked down where the baby had lain and then at the baby itself, he had robbed this poor innocent soul of his mother making him all alone in this world.

He held the baby at eye length and starred at it, the baby oblivious to what had occurred not that long ago simply giggled and reached out and pulled the Millennium Earls nose.

"Well aren't we cute!" he squealed "would you like to come with me little one?" he cooed at the child, as he walked down the road with the child in a steady grip.

Just down the road he saw a figure appear from the thick mist, a figure he had seen far too many times mistake who it was.

As the figure came closer and the figures features became more instinct; broad hat, red shoulder length hair, long black gold cape with a mask covering half of his face.

"Why look at it is" he said while looking at the Millennium Earl.

The newcomer's eyes soon widened when he saw the baby the Earl held in his arms. The Earl followed his eyes and began to laugh quietly so he did not wake the now sleeping baby.

"Isn't he cute" he said while stroking the boys chin lightly "would you believe me if I told you that this sweet innocent child was abandoned?" he asked.

"No" the masked man said simply.

"Didn't think so" the Earl chuckled "Well enough with the chit chat, to what do I own this honor, Cross Marian?"

"The baby" he said while raising his had now holding a gun "give me the baby"
