Young (y/n) was sitting against the wall, only wearing her under clothes as her dress was laying in her lap as she carefully hand sews the bottom. She was beginning to regret ripping the dress, for winter is just around the corner and she has no other clothing.

When she finished fixing the jagged bottom, she puts the dress back on and goes outside.

"Shoto?! Come on now! I have to wash your clothing!" (Y/n) yells out into the forest around her. Shoto had became much better with just a cough to deal with. He was finally able to get out of his bed and go outside, something he hasn't done in months.

A few minutes after she called out to her younger brother, he comes running out from the trees and ran straight into her. He wraps his small hand around her stomach as he burries his face into her (f/c) dress.

(Y/n) smiles down at him and kisses the top of his head. "I love you, Shoto. Now, arms up!" Her younger brother lets go of her and raises his arms. She grabs the bottom of his shirt and pulls it over his head. She then takes off his pants and puts his clothing into a large basket filled with soapy water. (Y/n) rolls up her sleeves and starts to wash Shoto's clothing. Shoto was laying the the soft green grass and admiring a small blue butterfly with black spots, waiting for his clothes to be ready.

After washing out his clothing, (y/n) puts the clothes on the line that is in between two trees in front of the small hut. (Y/n) wipes her hands on her dress.

"(Y/n)?" Shoto was now off the ground and behind his older sibling.

She turns around and couches down to be his height, "Yes?"

"Are we gonna be here forever?"

Her smile went down slightly but quickly came back larger. She giggles and roffles his hair. "Don't be silly! Just you watch! I'm gonna earn enough money to buy the biggest house in the entire world! I'll be able to buy you anything!" (Y/n) says winking at him.

A grin appears on Shoto's face,"Anything?! Even a dog!?"

She nods, "Even a dog."

Shoto grins ear to ear as he runs around squealing in delight. (Y/n) stands up and wipes the dirt off the bottom of her dress. Placing her hands on her hips, she looks over the small patch of grass surrounded by trees. Her younger brother rolling in the grass and the small hut sitting in the middle of it, as if waiting for something to happen. These were the days that she will treasure,the days where nothing bad happens and her brother is healthy.

(Y/n) sits back down on her knees, enjoying the calming winds. When she starts to hear a muffled sound, as if something was sizzling. Quickly standing up, she looked down at the patch of grass she was once sitting on. The once bright green grass had withered away and left a purplish goop in its place. (Y/n) looks down and sighs, 'I can never escape.' She thinks to her self.

"Sister?" Shoto runs up behind her and grips her dress skirt, looking around her. He sees the patch of strange liquid, "What's that?" He asks innocently as he walks to it and reaches out to touch it.

"Don't!" (Y/n) strictly says and grabs his wrist. Shoto looks up at her with big (e/c) eyes, causing she to smile apologetic, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to sound to harsh." She hugs him tightly.

He wraps his small thin arms around her as well, while they were hugging, (y/n) sadly looked over her brothers shoulder and at the patch of dead grass.

"Well isn't this just lovely~ so touching!" Says a slight feminine voice.

(Y/n)'s POV
Quickly pulling away from Shoto, I stand protectively with my arms out in front of him. A couple meters stands a man with long blood red hair, red rimed glasses, a long red coat laying on his shoulders, and, well, basically he was covered in red. "Who are you." I say through clinched teeth.

"That's a rude way to greet a guest~ but my name is Grell, sweethear, Grell Sutcliffe!" he says walking toward me, dragging a chainsaw at his side. "Aren't you a pretty one!~" he says in a sing-song voice. Then he takes out a leatherback book and flips through some of the pages before stopping in the middle of the book.

Shoto was clinging to me and whispers, "I-I-Im scared..."

Hearing his small voice frightened, it made me clinch my fists. "Don't worry," I say, "I won't let him touch you."

Grell looks up, "Well.... I'm here for a young boy named Shoto (l/n), and that clearly isn't you." He then notices the small figure behind me, he jumps up and lands behind me in a slip second.

'What the... Who- No, WHAT is this man??!!'

"Would this young boy be Shoto (l/n)?~" Grell lends down looking straight at my brother.

Before I could push him away, Shoto grins ear to ear, "YEP! That's me!!" He says gleefully. I bite my lip nervously, what does he want with Shoto?

A couple of slow seconds go by when Grell suddenly lifts up his chainsaw, turning it on. A shadow gets cast over my younger brother and for some reason I'm unable to move my legs.

"Well deary~ I'm afraid you're on the death list!"

~At the phantomhive manor~
"You called young master?" Sebastian asks, bowing in front of his master's large desk.

Ciel yawns as he rests his head onto his hand, "Yes, the letter I got from the queen this morning is apparently about that killing we saw a couples days back. Do you remember, Sebastian?"

Sebastian stands up straight and looks at ciel, "The one when the man was half gone?"

"Dissolved. Yes, that's the one. I believe you saw the killer before they-" Ciel was then interrupted by Mei-Rin running in with her glasses almost falling off her face.

"Sebastian! There's someone at the door looking for you, yes there is!"

Ciel sighs, "Sebastian, you're dismissed, but come back as soon as you're done."

He nods and walks to the main room with Mei-Rin, there he finds William standing in the door frame with his arms crossed. Upon seeing the grim reaper, Sebastian smirks.

"Reaper."

"Demon."

"What brings you here?"

William pushes up this glasses and mentally sighs, "We have apparently lost Grell, once again."

Sebastian raises his eyebrow then smirks, "Oh? So you need my help?"

"Never in a million years would I ask you, you disgusting creature. I just wanted to see if he was here. And clearly he is not, so I must be going."

Sebastian was about to tell him to go but an idea popped into his head, "Wait, my master might want to speak with you about Grell's whereabouts."





"SHOTO! NOO!!"
