The Waves of Fate - Undertaker X Reader

09: First Work Day

A/N: HELLO!! Honestly, I was hoping to post this next chapter a bit sooner, but I got a bit busy... again. Plus, I wanted to write another chapter before posting another one online. I figured you guys deserve another chapter with Undertaker. So here we are!!

Now that Undertaker has finally been introduced, I'm probably going to start going back and forth between Lena's POV and Undertaker's POV. Sorry in advance that I don't put '____ POV' at the top of each scene, but personally I feel that it's unnecessary. A good writer should be able to show distinctions between different characters. Plus, I think I only jump between Lena and Undertaker's POV, so unless that changes in the future, just expect those two. Just a heads up. Not that I don't mind seeing that in other stories, but I personally don't like doing that in my own.

And yeah, the AMV I chose isn't really... related to the current chapter. I couldn't find a good one so I picked a rather random one, but an Undertaker AMV I enjoy listening to when I'm bored.

Anyways, ENJOY!!!

!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!

You don't know why, but you were excited for this new job of yours. Maybe because you were giving up on hope, but at the very last moment you got exactly what you wanted? Well... maybe not exactly, but close enough.

But something was confusing you as you slumped out of your bed, staring down at your Phantomhive ring that you slipped onto your finger for the night, and staring at the glistening blue gem as you pondered your thoughts. If this reaper seems to hang around your family in this time... why doesn't he later on? Does he do something that gets him shunned? Or maybe that butler is something to do with it?? Something didn't seem... right, here.

All you could really do is let out a disgruntled sigh as you stood to your feet, starting your morning routine once more, and internally glad you could technically arrive at any time you wanted, but you figured you should try to get to this new job of yours on time.

'Yes. Why would a reaper be so close to us, if we never see him in the future?' you heard Cyrus whispering in your head, and all you could do is shrug your shoulders in response. '... Lena, w-what if we're the ones who cause this mess?'

"What do you mean?" you decided to ask, wondering what his full explanation was as you sat down for breakfast, with a cup of freshly brewed, premium tea with a side of toast.

'Because we were thrown into the past everything loops around. Maybe we cause the creature's death.'

"That's a good theory, but... if that were true then why? Do you think that Sebastian isn't saying everything he's supposed to? Is he the one behind this??"

'No... I don't think so. Sure, he makes me nervous, but he was also surprised when we first arrived. No, it's something else that brought us here. Just... killing such a creature could condemn us for eternity.'

"Wouldn't killing anything be condemning?" you snorted as you munched on your bread, causing the voice in your head to huff in response.

'Of course, but grim reapers are neutral forces of nature. I just have this feeling, you know?'

"Okay... a feeling about this guy... Then we should get close to him," you decided to say and you could feel Cyrus shrugging in your mind, even if you couldn't see it. "At least figure out a reason why he wouldn't be around anymore."

'He may be close to dying –'

"Can you tell?" you had to ask and he sighed deeply in response.

'I-I... I don't know. Maybe I can. It's just a feeling.'

"Okay, fine. We'll look into it. Just don't be so noticeable, yet. With that demon always lurking about he may try to snatch you away from me."
