"It smells a lot worse to me. My senses have been stronger then all death gods sense birth. The only pretty part will be when that demon's blood runs red in the gutters." Soon enough Xander showed up in the alley way with them with a dark sinister smirk on his face. His short black hair was on either side of his face in the form of fangs, and he had a long ponytail in the back, and his eyes were a glowing blood red.
"Hello Grell Sutcliffe. My name is Xander, and I'm the First In Command Demon in Satan's Army from Hell. I have a message to you from him. He wants you to be a part of his army as well. Come on let's go. Don't really see why he wants a death god, but he asked me to come and get you."
Grell smirked and pointed his chainsaw at him. "Not a chance in Hell. I'm a member of the Shinigami Dispatch Society, and I've been assigned your murder. Now shut up and die for me..."
Xander started to laugh. "As if you could. You can possibly beat me the way that you are now. A death god can't kill a demon as powerful as me!" Grell revved up his chainsaw and suddenly Grell's own eyes turned a glowing red like a demon's before he was surrounded with a glowing red demonic aura. His hair lashed about before his clothes turned into a red and golden dragon yukata, his heels became long red leather heeled boots, his gloves came off because his nails grew into sharp points, two of his sharp teeth grew out more to form a set of fangs, his ears pointed upwards like an elves, two dragon wings magnificent in size spanned out from his back, and on each side of his head were a pair of double horns. The chainsaw turned into a dragon katana with a red and gold handle, dragon imprinted hilt, and a clear shiny blade with red dragon designs all over it.
By this point Xander had his mouth wide open in shock. He felt like he was going to s**t his pants because he wasn't really expecting that at all. "What the hell are you!?!"
"I'm half death god, and I'm half demon, but my demon blood is stronger then yours because it's dragon demon blood. I guess Satan never told you what you were really up against hm? Too bad for you because it's time to die!"
Xander was starting to run away because he knew he didn't stand a chance, but Grell lifted up the katana which was also surrounded in the demonic red aura before a Chinese Dragon formed out of the designs on the blade and chased after him faster then the human eye could see before it's fangs bit into his side, and pulled him backwards, right into the blade like a shish-ka-bob, killing him right then and there before Grell kicked him off the blade. No one innocent got hurt that night.
"Go..take care of the human soul William. It's time for their soul to be collected..." Grell was so turned on right now from the sight of the demon's blood running down the alley way gutters, and he just wanted to smirk and bask in it's beauty for a little while longer.

William gulped as he watched his partner transform into his demon form. Grell certainly was more menacing then before. He backed up out of the way when Grell took care of the demon, Shocked on how easily Grell killed him. He never told me that he was this powerful. He never let on....
He was starting to get apprehensive about the whole thing when Grell brought him out of his stunned state. "Yes." He pushed his glasses up and walked down another dark allyway where a drunk was drowning in his own vomit. Out of Grell's sight, William allowed himself to shiver. It had been frightening, to see his power unleashed like that.
As William was about to cut the cinematic record from the dying man. A hand gently touched his shoulder and a voice spoke softly into his ear. "Did you see him? The one who will one day lead my army against Heaven?" William frowned. "Satan...." He dropped his voice lower too. "I have no wish to speak with you." "But you will listen. I know you William T Spears and I know that you've been getting quiet 'friendly' with him. Mmm..." the hand on his shoulder caressed his cheek. "...I never thought that a man of such impeccable character like yourself would ever fall for the temptations of the flesh. " "Stop it." William's hand clenched tighter around his death scythe. "But it's understandable, As long as you only keep it to just sex, There is no harm in it. " The hand with drew but not the warm breath or the voice of the devil. "Just don't fall in love with the creature, It would only end in tragedy for you William T Spears." William turned around, but there was no one there, "What do you mean by that?"
Lucifer whispered from behind him again. "He doesn't have a heart to give to you. Grell may be acting like a Reaper, but in the end, he's a Demon. Oh, He may have tricked you into thinking that he loves you, but he really is such a fabulous actress, good enough to die for isn't he William?" William felt a chill go through him. It was true, from the very beginning, Grell was absorbed into theatrics and dramatic flare. So much so that he annoyed everyone around him.
The reaper was beginning to tremble with anger and denial. Lucifer smiled. ".....Or am I too late? Have you fallen for him William? Does he have your heart in his hand already?" "Stop it!" William yelled, spinning around, his death-scythe swinging out blindly. He looked around. The alleyway was empty save for him and the dead man.
William scowled and quickly retrieved the dead man's soul before re-joining Grell back on the street. "Grell, Let's go back. The clean up crew will take care of all this." He said, referring the all the blood on the street. William was as ever coolly impassive and professionally distant as he was on any mission. He would never tell Grell what Lucifer had told him. To do so would be an admission that he was right.

While he was gone Grell got it out of his system before transforming back into his reaper form, his sword once again becoming his chainsaw. He waited for William to get finished before he smiled and followed after him. He did care for William deeply, so in a way Satan was wrong, but he didn't have a heart, so in that he was right at the same time. "I'm so proud of myself William. I did a really great job as a death god, and Xavier is going to be proud of me too!" He was skipping along, really feeling happy with how things went.

William slipped the traveling Key into a door and they walked back into the Shinigami realm. He was still bothered by what he'd seen and heard but didn't show it outwards, putting what Satan said out of his mind, he encountered Xavier in the reception room of his office. "Sir, the Demon had been successfully eliminated. I shall send you my full written report as soon as possible." He said, bowing. As Always, the perfect employee.

Xavier smiled and nodded. "Good job Grell and William. Grell you've earned yourself a promotion. You're now at William's rank. You two are dismissed now." Grell smiled and walked off with William. "William aren't you proud of me? I did a good job getting rid of that demon for our realm! I'll become a death god legend one day...and just wait and see!"

William gave him a smile. "Congratulations, I hope that you are up to par with the work your new rank brings to you." He said humorlessly. then looked at his watch. "I think.....that we have enough time to go to that restaurant to celebrate."

Grell smiled happily when William said that he was proud of him. "Yay! Let's go eat, I'm starving for some really good food!" Grell quickly put his chainsaw away before following William to get something to eat.

The news had spread like wildfire. Grell had become an overnight celebrity Everyone who passed by him the hallways would look at him in awe, surprise as well as curiosity. Anyone who was associated closely with Grell was grilled with questions about what happened that night. William answered honestly enough. Grell had killed the demon with one blow. Aden sudden;y became the most popular boy in middle school, often bringing to William's apartment other young reapers who wanted to meet Grell.
William had just finished signing the papers that would give him permission to take Aden as a trainee until his graduation. Which also meant that the would have to move to a bigger apartment since Aden had asked if he could stay with him in the interim. Will had been avoiding Grell for the past several days, at first letting Grell bask in the glow of the acceptance of the other Shinigamis. Then just finding other work that did not involve working the Red-head.

At first Grell didn't mind being ignored by William because he was getting all that attention finally from all the other shinigami who were treating him like an equal. They admired what he had done and a lot of them called him their idol and inspiration. After awhile Grell thought their idolizing was stupid. Grell might have killed that demon with one blow, but that was only because he used his own demon powers. He didn't do it as a Death God. He did it as a demon, as one of them. Was it all a lie then? This worried Grell, and when he needed comfort from William on these matters he was never around, said he had other things to do.
That was when he noticed that William had been ignoring him since they day of their mission together. Was seeing his demon form really that much for him to handle? He decided to be happy with his fame for now, thinking that William would come around and talk to him again eventually.

William had been thinking deeply about what Lucifer had said that day. The day after he had moved to his new apartment was he weekly day off. As soon as Grell and Aden left to go do some grocery shopping. William pulled on his coat and used a Key to go the human world. It took him just outside of London, He started to walk down the road that led to the Phantomhive manner.
Claude sat by the window in their apartment, it was late summer by now and the cooler weather of autumn was just starting. Ciel had given him and Sabastian the rare day off. Since Ciel and Isabella where invited to Lady Elizabeth's birthday party. They would be there all day and most likely overnight. Since they shouldn't be without protection, Sammael had gone with them. While he did enjoy his job, respite from the daily work allowed him to relax and just be with Sebastian all day. He smiled over his teacup at his lover. "Do you have anything you want to do today Sebastian? We could go to the theater and see what's showing."

Sebastian smirked before he looked over at his lover, and he was about to answer him when he spotted someone outside the window. "I think we should entertain our guest no matter who they may be." He got up and looked out the window and saw that it was William T. Spears. "William is here? What could he want with me? I haven't been consuming human souls, so I don't think it's to kill me." When he got to the door he opened it up and looked at him. "Can I help you William?"

William was just about to knock on the door when it opened. He lowered his hand. " I was wondering if you would answer a few questions." He said. Claude looked over and raised an eyebrow, the reaper hadn't brought his death scythe with him today, so it probably didn't have to do with his job.

Sebastian was easily able to tell that he wasn't here on death god duties because he didn't have his scythe with him, so he smiled warmly at him before he opened the door of the mansion for him to enter it. "You may enter and ask as many questions as you would like William T. Spears. Bochan and Lady Isabella have gone out for the day, and perhaps the night, so we've got the time to spare to you." Sebastian was always the formal one.

"Thank you." William said as Claude poured him a cup of tea as he sat down. The spider butler was curious on why they would receive a visitor. "This is an unexpected surprise Mr Spears. I thought that reapers hated demons, and here you are." William sipped from the teacup. "I'm not here on a social call. I came on my day off to ask you about your current condition." He began, then paused. Both of them it seemed where also on their day off. They didn't wear the black tail coats, ties and vests today. but they still wore the gloves to cover their black fingernails and contract marks. If Ceil or anyone else from the manor would see them , it would have been a little jarring. To William however it was a sign that they stared to appreciate simple human comforts. He lowered his tea cup. "About how you are adjusting to life with human hearts."

Sebastian smiled a bit, having a good feeling where this conversation was going. He's trying to save Grell from Satan...He doesn't want him to go. "We're both living quite well with human hearts. Guess news travels fast in the Shinigami Realm. I protect Ciel Phantomhive because I love him like a son, and of course I'm in love with Claude deeply as well. The angels during the meeting have offered us both spots in Heaven if we agree to never consume a human soul ever again, and on Satan's end he's trying to bribe us to stay with him by giving us higher ranks in exchange for our human hearts. I'd much rather stay neutral in the whole thing. Ciel might really like Heaven. Maybe I should just side with the angels and let you guys take his soul to Heaven when his time comes, and protect his linage like Sammael does."
"A demon can only gain a human heart by taking the guise of a human for a long period of time while being around someone he/she could possibly love. That affection grows inside of them, and they become emotional like an actual human, and they no longer feel the need to feed on human souls. Only Sammael and Claude have done that, and my human heart was given to me as punishment for allowing Claude to love me when I had no heart. Anything else you'd like to ask?" Sebastian smirked knowingly that he might have just answered everything right then and there.
If Grell wanted to be a human he had to take on the guise of one once again in order to gain it. He would have to grow an attachment to a mortal as a mortal.
