Your Hell of a Secret (Black Butler Fan-Fic)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Charlotte's P.O.V

"I'm quite disappointed in you, Lady Red."

Grelle looks at the bloodied Madam Red blankly as he shook off the blood from his scythe casually.

(I'm skipping the part with Madam Red's memories. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the Black Butler manga! Or if you don't remember it, her memories are in chapter 10, volume 3.)

"I don't have any interest in someone who lets their emotions get in the way of their tasks... Madam Red." Grelle whispered darkly. The grim reaper shook his head has he walked towards her body,"I helped you make an alibi, and even broke the rules for us reapers for you! And now that was all for nothing."

Grelle grabbed hold of Madam Red's jacket and slipped it off her corpse. He put it on himself as he took his final look at his former partner. "Adieu, Madam Red..." Grelle muttered, walking away.

At that moment, I felt Ciel's hands that were holding me back release. He walked in front of me towards his aunt, his feet splashing in the puddles of the seemingly never ending rain. He crouched down by her, staring quietly. After a while, he reaches towards her face and closes her eyes that seemed to stare towards the sky for eternity. Sebastian and I silently looked at Ciel.

Ciel then turned around facing his butler," What are you doing?" Sebastian gave him a puzzled look. Ciel sigh," I ordered you to hunt down Jack the Ripper." Ciel then stood up.

"You're not finished. There is still one more left." He looked at the wounded butler and said in a commanding voice," Now get the last on." Sebastian then smirked," As you wish, Young Master."

I heard Grelle giggled in the background. "I was gonna let you go.... but if you insist, I'll personally send you to the grave!" He shouted as he charged at Sebastian with his chainsaw. Sebastian swiftly dodged and jumped back towards some crates. Sebastian easily picked one up with his foot and launched it towards the reaper. Grelle, in turn, smashed it the smithereens with his scythe. As Grelle looked up, expecting to see the butler, he was surprised to see that Sebastian was gone. Suddenly Sebastian appeared from the air and lightly landed on the flat side of Grelle's chainsaw.

As I was watching the extraordinary, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at the wearily boy behind me. "Ciel..." I muttered sadly. His brows furrowed," Charlotte, what the hell are you doing here?" I avoided his gaze when something caught my eye. My eyes widen and I quickly pushed Ciel towards the ground as debris flew at us from the fight.

I gasped and looked at Ciel,"I-I'm sorry! Is your head OK?!" He let out a small chuckle and nodded his head. I sighed in relief and got up, grabbing hold of Ciel's hand and helping him up. I looked at him straight faced," Look, I promise I will tell you everything later, okay?" I then turned and ran towards Grelle and Sebastian.

I heard Ciel call at me," What the hell do you think you're doing?! You can't stand at a fighting level like them!" I stopped and looked back at Ciel's worried face. "I'll be fine." I said smiling, climbing up a ladder to one of the tenements. Grelle and Sebastian were still going at it.

Neither seemed to notice me yet, as they were too busy brawling. I watched as Sebastian stopped Grelle's scythe with his foot. Grelle looked up at Sebastian,"Oh how I wish the sun would never rise to end our hunting..."

Grelle's face got closer to Sebastian's," But, this is the end to our lovely experience." Suddenly Grelle headbutted Sebastian, catching the butler off guard. The reaper then lifts his death scythe over his shoulder. "Goodbye Sebastian darling!" He says as he swings the blade and carves it into Sebastian's chest.

"Sebastian!" I whisper in shock. His blood then forms into the cinematic records. But I'm too far to see them. But it seems that Grelle isn't satisfied in what they show, as he is having a hissy fit. I look as Sebastian stands up, with lots of strength still left. He then takes off his tail coat, complaining that it is ruined. Then they go at it again.

But I noticed, that with his wound, Sebastian is lagging a little. Suddenly Grelle appears behind Sebastian and prepares to strike.

Sebastian's P.O.V

I throw my ripped, blood stained coat to the ground. "Oh dear, my coat is in tatters. It's beyond repair." I sulk. Looking up I sprint towards the gay reaper, attempting a jump kick to his face. "Tsk-!" I sudden pain flares on my abdomen. Even us demons feel pain... So this large gash on my stomach is going to be a problem.

I go to throw a punch, but the man disappeared. I sense a presence behind me, and turn around. With the wound, I'm too slow as to catch the blade that is heading towards my face. I close my eyes as a natural reaction.

Clink!

I open my eyes to see a figure in front of me. "Oh Sebastian, you're a little off your game. Lemme take things from here." Charlotte says turning to wink at me. I grimace at her,"D-Don't be foolish! A mere human can take him on- let alone by herself!"

I watch as she keeps the death scythe at bay with her sword. Why isn't the sword breaking? "Just watch me. And if you're so worried, then get your act together and help me out!" She exclaims and she pushes the scythe away and suddenly appears behind Grelle. Then she spun around and kicked Grelle in the face. "YOU LIL BITCH! HOW DARE YOU HURT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL FACE SUCH AS MINE!!!" Grelle yelled angrily. "That's what you call beautiful? You reapers have poor taste." Charlotte says smartly as she swings her sword skillfully.

This is strange.

I haven't known Charlotte for long, but I know she is acting differently. And I never sensed any of this strange power coming from her before. Is she even human? The way she is fighting Grelle... I wouldn't think she is. But right now I have to complete my task. I'll have to ponder about this later on.

Forgetting about my wound, I rush at Grelle from behind and kicked him in the spine area. As he falls to the ground, I hear a giggle. "Aah!" I hear Charlotte yell.

Third Person P.O.V

Charlotte was in a fiery battle with Grelle. As she lifted her sword above her head, Grelle's expression turned surprised as he fell towards her. In the process of this, Grelle's chainsaw clumsily cut Charlotte's waist. "Aah!' She screamed in shock. So far she managed not to get a scrap as Grelle purposely lashed at her. Then Grelle suddenly trips and cuts her on accident. This didn't make any sense to Charlotte as she also fell.

"Ah Sebby, why would you hit a woman behind her back?" Grelle whined. Sebastian sighed," You are no woman."

Grelle then swung his loud saw at Sebastian when the saw suddenly fell silent. Grelle looked down to see some black fabric stuck in the tiny blades. "Whaat?!" Grelle exclaimed.

"I realized that your weapon works by revolving the tiny blades. So I had to stop it from revolving." Sebastian explained as he went over and helped Charlotte up. "Lady Charlotte are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, I just bleed for fun." She said sarcastically, glaring at the wounded butler. "I do apologize for being the cause of your wound, my lady. Let me just finish up and I shall treat your cut." Sebastian said as he made his way to Grelle who was struggling to get the coat out of the chainsaw.

"It's no use. That coat is top quality wool. With it's friction, I will be almost impossible to remove." Sebastian's expression darkened as he drew nearer to Grelle. "Now, shall we have a round with our fists?" He asks, cracking his gloved knuckles.

"N-no! No wait!" Grelle pleated. "GYAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charlotte looked at the beaten lump of a reaper on the rooftop. "Ooooh....." Grelle moaned. With a devilish smile, Sebastian kicked Grelle while he was down. Thus, causing Grelle to tumble down into the alleyway. Bam! "Ooof!"

Grelle groaned as Sebatsian picked up Charlotte and lightly leaped next to him. Sebastian set her down and then grabbed Grelle's scythe that was laying on the ground. Easily pulling his coat out, he approaches Grelle with a murderous look on his face. "W-wait! No, please stop!" Sebastian swung the saw overhead and swung down. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Grelle screamed in terror as the blades neared his throat.

Suddenly, a metal rod appeared out of nowhere, stopping the chainsaw. Surprised, everyone turned towards the place where the rod seemed to be coming from. On the rooftop, two figures stood. "Excuse us." Said a monotone voice coming from the figures.
