Amai Shi, My Sweet Death (An Undertaker Love story)

Chapter 5

I don't own Black Butler

Amai pov

"A shinigami." I was shocked. ~This man is a death god? B-but how?! He seems much too nice to be a grim reaper...~ "I know. I'm a monster." the Undertaker said quietly. He released my hand and stood up. "I understand if you don't want to stay here anymore. I don't blame you..." he said sadly. The mortician headed to the back of the shop. "No!" I called out. I quickly stood up and rushed to him. Before I could register what I was doing, I hugged him from behind, my face resting on his back. He froze. "I don't believe that you are a monster.. You've been nothing but kind to me and you've shown more care towards me than anyone else has before. The people out there are monsters. You aren't."

Undertaker pov

She was silent. I instantly regretted telling her my secret. I enjoyed her company and now I've ruined everything. "I know. I'm a monster." I released her hand and stood up. "I understand if you don't want to stay here anymore. I don't blame you..." I said quietly. My once still heart was aching. I couldn't handle her rejection. It was too much for me. I could feel tears beginning to form in my eyes. I headed for the back of the shop. I couldn't face Amai now. "No!" I felt a small pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist. I froze. "I don't believe that you are a monster.. You've been nothing but kind to me and you've shown more care towards me than anyone else has before. The people out there are monsters.. You aren't." ~She isn't afraid? She doesn't hate me?~ I held her small hands in mine. "You aren't afraid?" I asked her, my voice quiet and serious. I felt her shake her head. "Should I be? You haven't given me a reason to be..." I was taken back. I felt an unfamiliar warmth in my chest. ~Is this what happiness feels like? No. This is much stronger than that.. This feeling is unknown to me.. It feels... Nice.~

I turned around and faced Amai. She was smiling. I couldn't help it. I pulled her into my chest and embraced her. She instantly wraps her arms around me. I rested my head atop of hers. Amai was so small. I wish I could hold her like this forever. "Will you stay here? With me?" I asked her. My voice was almost a whisper, but I knew she had heard me. Her grip on me tightened. "Only if you want me to stay..." she replied. I chuckled, "I wouldn't have asked you if I didn't." Amai didn't say anything. I didn't mind her silence.

3rd pov

Over the next few days, Amai Shi and the Undertaker grew closer than ever before. The mortician felt more at ease now that Amai knew his secret. He told her that he used to be a demon slaying shinigami, but was now retired. Amai had asked about his age and he laughed at her facial expression when he told her how old he was. Never in his life had the Undertaker been so happy. He could get used to this.

*A few days later*

Never had the Undertaker's shop been so busy. There was a serial killer on the loose and people were being murdered left and right. Undertaker refused to let Amai out of the shop. He was afraid that she'd be harmed.

"Amai," the Undertaker called out, "could you bring me a wet cloth please?" The young girl hurried and acquired what the mortician had asked for. She handed him the cloth and the silver haired mortician wiped down the corpse that laid before him. Amai went to the back of the shop and brought the clothes for the body. Amai was used to this process and the Undertaker rarely had to tell her what to do.

The shop's bell rang signaling that a customer had entered the shop. The Undertaker looked up from his work and wiped his hands off. He grinned. "Why hello, my dear earl! Kehehe! And what might I do for you on this fine day?" the Undertaker exclaimed as he swayed with a grin on his face. The young Ciel Phantomhive shivered visibly. His butler smirked. "I'm sure you're aware of the recent murders that have been going about. We're here to look at the bodies." Ciel said in an annoyed tone. At that moment, Amai appeared at the Undertaker's side. She saw that they had guest and hid behind the mortician's arm. The Undertaker smiled, "Amai, my dear, we have guests. Why don't you say hello?" The young girl shook her head causing the mortician to giggle. "Undertaker, who is that?" Ciel asked. He wasn't used to seeing any living person in the shop with the mortician. Amai held onto the Undertaker's sleeve. The Undertaker laughed and patted the girl's arm, "This is Amai Shi. She's been staying with me for a few months now. Amai's been a wonderful help around the shop." "Hello Amai." Sebastian said gently as if not to scare the young girl before him.

"H-hello." Amai said quietly. The Undertaker gently pushed her forward so that the others could see her as well. At the sight of her, Ciel blushed, but quickly composed himself. "Amai, this is Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his butler, Sebastian." the Undertaker said. "How do you do?" Ciel said, giving her a small bow. The mortician laughed. Amai whispered something in the Undertaker's ear. He nodded, "Yes, you may go to your room, my dear." The young girl bowed and as she looked up, her eyes locked with Sebastian's. He smiled at her and she blushed. Amai hurried out of the room. The Undertaker saw this and tensed. Sebastian smirked at the mortician. Ciel coughed. (Uh, oh..)

*Later*

"Undertaker, can I ask you something?" Amai asked. The Undertaker looked up from his work, "Of course you can!" Amai poked her fingers together (much like Hinata from Naruto does) and spoke up, "That man, Sebastian.. He isn't human, is he?" The mortician tensed at the mention of the demon butler's name. "You're very observant. You're right, he isn't human." he said as he cleaned his tools. He obviously didn't like the demon. Not since he looked at Amai with those eyes. That demon wanted Amai. He wouldn't allow it.

"He isn't like you, is he?" Amai asked quietly, noticing the Undertakers anger. "Sebastian is a demon. He's the natural enemy of the shinigami." the Undertaker answered. Amai simply nodded. The two kept cleaning in silence. Amai stopped cleaning for a moment and glanced at the Undertaker.

Amai Shi pov

~That man, Sebastian, is a demon. He had such lovely eyes. I had such a handsome face... I wonder what the Undertaker's eyes look like. Are they like Sebastian's?~ "Amai... Amai.. Amai!" the Undertaker shouted as he waved his hands in front of my face. I blushed. I had no idea that I was staring at him!! >\\\< "S-sorry!" I squeaked. He began to laugh so hard that he fell down. I couldn't help but laugh with him. His laughter was so contagious!

After a while, I helped the Undertaker back up and he wiped the tears from his eyes. It made me happy to know that I made him laugh even though it was something embarrassing that made him laugh. "What's on your mind that has you so distracted?" the Undertaker asked once he calmed down. I blushed again and looked at my hands. "W-well, I was wondering what your eyes look like." I said not looking at the Undertaker. "My eyes?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. I nodded. I took a deep breath. "C-can I see your eyes?" I asked. The Undertaker didn't say anything. I walked up to him and my hands reached for his face. The Undertaker caught my hands before they could reach his bangs. He shook his head. "I don't want you to see my face." he said sadly. "Please? I want to see your eyes. Your appearance doesn't matter to me. I just want to see you." I said. He seemed to think about it for a moment. His grip on my hands loosened and he released my hands. I touched his face. He had such cool and soft skin. I felt the scar on his face. It looked lovely on his pale skin. I slowly moved my hands to his bangs and gently removed them from his eyes. His eyes were closed. "Please open your eyes. I want to see them.." I whispered. The Undertaker slowly opened his eyes. I felt my breath leave me. He had the most brilliant greenish yellow eyes I had ever seen. The Undertaker had a beautiful face. His scar just added to his beauty. Words could never do him any justice. I felt my face heat up. The Undertaker gave my a small smile. I leaned close to his face. The Undertaker hesitated a bit, but leaned in and pressed his lips onto mine.
