A.N. This is my first Kuroshitsuji fic! Please review :) Thanks!

Ciel was not expecting to be attacked as he and his demon butler, Sebastian, walked down the streets of London. They were going to investigate a strange series of murders where the murderer claimed that they were forced to do it, their bodies moving of their own accords.

He was just telling Sabastian that it might be some occult ritual, when a certain red-headed shinigami flew towards them, a wicked grin on his face and his Death Scythe waving about wildly. "Ohhhhh Bassy~!" Grell cried as he swiped at Sebastian with his chainsaw. "I've missed you so much, my dear!"
Ciel watched with disgust as his butler stepped back and then launched his own attack. Sebastian kicked at Grell's face, causing the reaper to squeal and duck quickly. Ciel closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. He listened as a body was slammed against a nearby wall and Grell let out a high-pitched yelp. "Bassy, you're always so rough with me!" he whined.

"Sebastian, enough. We need to solve these murders so the Queen won't worry," Ciel said loudly.

"Of course, My Lord," Sebastian bowed as his master opened his eyes and glared at him. Grell jumped up and said "Oooooo! You're investigating the recent murder streak, aren't you~?"

He ran his fingers through his hair, flipping it over his shoulder, and followed the Earl and his butler. They arrived a few minutes later at a small, one-room apartment with a male's body lying on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding him. Grell sighed and stared at the beautiful red of the human's blood. How lovely someone can look after death.

The Yard was already there, talking to a woman who was sitting on one of the two chairs in the house and sobbing hysterically. Sebastian tilted his head slightly and listened in.
"I- I don't know wha-what happened!" The woman moaned. "A small girl, she l-looked to be-e around six, walked in to our house and- and said that I wo- would k-k-kill my poor James! We thought she wa-was crazy. Until my arm star-started moving and then Ja-James was-" her explanation was cut off as the woman disolved into tears, her words becoming unintelligable.

"Anything?" Ciel asked him.

"Yes, it appears that she is truely coonfused about how she killed her husband. All of the other women were the same way."

Grell grinned, baring his shark-like teeth. "Sounds like something fun~!"

"Don't you have a job to return to?" Ciel asked him, annoyed.

"Not today! William cut my hours ever since I got in trouble last. He said I was too much work to keep in line, so until I stopped slacking, I can't work!"

"That doesn't even make any sense," Ciel snapped. "How can you stop slacking when you don't have anything to do?"

Grell shrugged and smiled again. "Be quiet, brat. I don't need to explain my Will to you, now do i ?"

Sebastian rolled his eyes, and as he did so he noticed a small, child-like face peering through the door at them. He walked towards her, but she vanished.

"Young Master, I will be back in a moment, I believe I saw something. If you will excuse me." He bowed and left as soon as Ciel nodded.

He followed the small figure as she ran through the streets and down an alley. He was about to grab her arm when Grell threw himself on top of Sebastian. "Ooof~!" He yelled happily as they tumbled to the ground.

The girl giggled quietly as Sebastian threw the clumsy reaper off of him. "Sebas-chan! No need to be so mean~!"

"I am working, reaper. Go away."

"Noooo Sebas-chan~! I want you to hold me instead!" With that, Grell jumped at Sebastian again, getting knocked down again.

"Why would I want to touch such a vile creature as yourself?" Sebastian asked, smirking.

Grell's smile dropped and he tapped his chin with one black-gloved finger. "Because we are meant to be~! Do you really hate me, Bassy?" He added with a pout.

"Of course," Sebastian said with a smile.

The girl stepped forward then, a black dagger clasped in her left hand. She ran at them so quickly, even Sebastian didn't have enough time to stop her. Both the demon and the shinigami fell to the ground, blood pouring out of deep slashes across their chests.

"You shouldn't be so mean to him," the girl said, stepping on Sebastians arm.

He hissed in pain and then looked around in confusion. Why was her blade hurting him? How did she move so quickly?

"He loves you. You should love him back." The girl's voice was sweet in a sickening way, like like taking a shot of pure sugar. "I think I know the right way to treat this case of unrequited love."

She leaned forward and healed Sebastian with a light touch of her finger, but before he could attack, she waved her hand.

He felt himself get pulled into darkness, pain searing through his body again. Just as he was about to let the darkness take him, he heard a voice, his own voice, say loudly "Bassy? BASSY!"

Ciel had gotten tired of waiting. He left the small house, and followed the clear footsteps of his butler and the reaper when Sebastian didn't just show up after he called him. He found a thin trail of blood leading down into an alley, and his heart nearly stopped when he saw Sebastian's darker-than-normal blood all over the fresh snow. He knelt forward and noticed something in the blood: a long, bright red strand of hair.
