====Undertaker====

I dont know what could possibly ruin this moment right now. Then theres a light knock on the front parlor door. I give a little growl. Mikki giggles a little at my agrivated growl and she gets down off the chair and i follow her into the front room (the parlor room). She is just about to open the door, when she looks through the window and sees William T. Spears. Mikki turns back to me. "Ill stay out of sight." she says, then walks out of the parlor room. I sigh and open the front door. "Ahhh! hello there, Willy!" i say, acting like i didnt know it was him at the door. I move aside to so he can walk in. "Hello there, Undertaker. My apologies, but did i wake you?" the reaper asks in his lifeless, monotone voice. "Not at all. why do you think that?" i ask, confused. "Well your hair doesnt appear to be the same as it usually is. It looks messed up, like you just got out of bed or something." he says. I then remember Mikki playing with my hair as we kissed. "Oh, yes! no, i didnt just get out bed. I was...working...and it got a little crazy." i say. Will nods and i gesture for him to sit down on a coffin. I go into the kitchen and get 2 beakers and fill them with water, setting a teabag in each one. I bring them back into the parlor room and hand one to Will before sitting down on a coffin across from him. "Thank you. I came to talk to you about the dispatch and matters of the such." Will says. "Im all ears. heheheheh." i say and chuckle. "As you know, just last month we had gotten new recruits, and even a random one today. We for some reason have a larger than normal amount of new recruits, and still have the same amount of staff, except for the reapestry instructor, who had just left. With you being the legend, i figured i should try to see if you could come in a couple days of the week to fill that role." Will explains. "Sounds great! im fine with having it 2-3 days of the week, since i do have my job here. I understand why i'd be one to go to since how I am an old reaper and know more than enough about reaper history. Heheheheheh." i say and chuckle again. "Very good. You may come in first thing Friday morning." Will says, adjusting his spectacles with his scythe. Suddenly, there is a loud thud in another room and Will slightly turns on the coffin to look back. "What was that?" he asks. I then remember Mikki and the people after her. I stand up very quickly, causing Will to turn back to me. "Uhhh...ILL GO CHECK!!" i yell and run into the other rooms. I burst into her room to see her on the ground. I run and kneel beside her. As i lift her head up to rest on my legs, i look over Mikki's body to see if there were any wounds. I dont see anything and look back up at Mikki's face to see a small smile on it. "What the hell happened?" i ask, helping her up and looking around her body to see if she could be hurt. "I was trying to reach the paper up there, but somehow lost my balance and fell off the casket." She explains. I sigh in relief that she wasnt attacked by one of those people who are for some reason after her. I sigh and look at her. Mikki smiles and gives me those adorable, innocent looking eyes. They still held the same look on her face, even though they were new eyes. "William is still here. Go talk with him or else he might suspect something." Mikki whispers, pulling away, but i catch her arm. I spin her back to face me and crash my lips onto hers. I pull away and get the paper from the shelf. Mikki just stands there, breathless. I smirk and leave the room.

I return to the parlor room and see Will just where i had left him. "What was it?" he asks, actually curious for once. I am actually shocked that he is curious, but i dont show it. I didnt know i still "looked" like i had literally just taken Mikki's breath away until the reaper says something. "Well, whatever it had been, it seemed to have amused you, due to your facial expression." Will says, monotonely, and adjusts his glasses with his scythe. I snap out of it. "Hmm? oh! nothing more than a beautiful piece of work being her clumsy self." I say, smiling to myself. I see a confused look on Will's face and i clear my throat and try to change the subject. "So 3 days?" i ask, knowing, but just trying to change the subject. "Hm? oh, yes. Friday you are to come in and we will instruct you on what is to be done." Will explains. "Now if youll excuse me, i must see what damage has been done by Reaper Sutcliff." he says, standing up. I stand up too and open the door for the dark haired shinigami. Once he finaly leaves, i go back to Mikki's room to find her laying on the floor on her belly, kicking her feet and drawing.

Mikki isnt facing me, so i decide to just stand and lean against the door frame, watching her. I realize she had changed back into one of my cloaks and sashes. She is wearing her hat and i cant help but smile at how adorable she looks. Mikki turns the paper slightly to get a better angle with her drawing, and i see what it is. Its a "chibi" drawing of me in a large and im wearing my normal stuff and i have a big smile on my face with a bone shaped treat hanging out and my hair is covering my face. In one hand i am holding my scythe and the other is holding a jar of bone treats. The whole picture is amazingly drawn. I realize i hadnt stopped smiling since i saw her on the ground, drawing. I decide against telling her about me instructing reapestry on some days because i want to surprise her on Friday. I walk into her room and she looks back and up at me. Mikki was startled when she heard me come in, but when she realized it was me, she smiled. I walk in front of her and crouch down. She quickly covers up the paper, and the movement causes he bangs to fall over her eyes a little. I reach a hand out and stroke the hair away before resting my palm on her cheek. She smiles softly and leans her cheek into my touch. "May i please see?" i ask, breaking the silence. Mikki sighs, debating whether to show me or not. She finally sits up, crossing her legs, and handing me the paper. I smile and take it in my hands. The picture was far more amazing up close than from where i was standing further back in the door frame. One thing i didnt see when i was standing in the doorway, were words that seem to belong to a song. I read the lyrics and smile. I sit on the ground and gesture for Mikki to sit next to me. She crawls over to where i lean up against a coffin on the floor. Mikki gets really close and i put my arm around her to keep her to me. She rests her head on me and i look the paper over again and rest my head on hers. I start slowly rubbing her arms and she lets out a long sigh of relaxation. It feels so nice just to sit with her. Nothing but the slight soothing sound of soft breathing. I read over the lyrics and see at the bottom the title of the song "dont let me be lonely". I would love to hear how it goes, but i wouldnt dare break this bliss. Nothing can ruin this. This beautiful blissful moment with my dear Mikki.
