He is the reaper of souls...
He is my moving shadow.
He is the darkness swelling inside me.
He is my black soul.
But he will save me.

Episode 44 - Murder on Edward Avenue
Yumi watched me curiously as I lightly brushed a small handkerchief along her face, wiping off the blood from that insolent "Claudia" girl.
Yumi's face was covered in red, and she was also injured, so I set her on a small bench to clean her face. It wouldn't be nice of me to leave her alone without cleaning her first, would it? I was her butler, after all. My master's health and safety took priority over battling another one of my kind to death.
"Almost done," I said gently, brushing away some blood left under her eye patch. "There. All gone."
She kept staring at me when I tossed the handkerchief away and stood, brushing off my clothes.
"Is it time?" she said then, gazing up at me curiously. "Are you going now?"
"Almost time," I said, adjusting my cufflinks. "A couple more minutes. Edward said at two o'clock, it is one-fifty-seven."
She then looked around to the other servants who were scattered among the room, leaning on benches and walls while immersed in a conversation neither me nor her cared about.
Grell left about ten minutes ago, Yumi scolded him for murdering Eileen and he just winked and said goodbye.
Honestly, I knew that Grell had to kill her.
It was his job as a reaper to collect souls on the "to-die" list and store them in archives before the soul transferred to someone new. And this thing that had been happening with Claudia making people live when they weren't supposed to... my guess was that his boss sent him to end this problem which was why he came with us.
He was always trying to get on his boss's good side. Especially after the "Jack the Ripper" incident.
Eileen was his target and so he ended her and went to do his job elsewhere.
Edward made it clear that at two o'clock this afternoon I was to meet him in the courtyard of this church, and then we battle to the death.
It was an honest game us demons played, setting a time and place for battles and fights. He was a newer demon, as well, so he was getting accustomed to our style.
