The letters arrived a few days later. Undertaker signed all the papers, while I returned to my old work. Back in my mortician uniform, I stared at myself in the mirror. Every since I made a runner, Sebastian didn't show up, assuming that he finally gave up on me.

"N\A?"

Seeing Undertaker at the door, I grinned back at him, "What do you think?"

"Beautiful, but there is one thing missing."

Staring down my clothes, I shrugged, "My hat?"

He grabbed my hand, only to put a ring on my finger, "That is more like it."

At this moment I should be happy, but something was bugging my mind, "Is it actually possible?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you remember when we were married before? You said we cannot marry again. Is that true?" Undertaker nodded, knowing this. He pulled me close, "I lied to you that day. It wasn't what you said back then. That man knew that I didn't use my real name on the form. But this time, I won't make the same mistake."

"Speaking of that man, won't he get between us again?"

Shaking his head, he pulled me along to the kitchen, "If he ever comes between us again, he will regret it. Anyway, why don't we talk about something else? I make some tea and you can get the newspaper from the shop."

The paperboy was already there, the papers were pushed underneath the door. On my way back, I checked through the articles. Shocked of the news, I ran back to Undertaker.

"An entire town was destroyed over night!"

The reaper knew who that was, but rather not tell me the truth. He find out about this, as he left me alone another night. As a reaper, he had to create his existence on paper and sneak it into the town hall. The last time, he just used a name of a dead man. If it wasn't for this guy, it would have worked. Standing on the roof of the town hall, he could see that very town in flames. He seen it before...on that faithful day. So he lost control, he thought. Seeing my irritated face, he shrugged.

"How did this happen?"

"No one knows the cause of it yet."

Undertaker handed me the glass of tea, "See it from the bright side, that man won't get in your way again." True, his mansion was there as well. I had a bad feeling about this, "Do you know something I should know?"

"I didn't do anything, if that is what you are implying."

Checking through the papers, another article caught my eye, "Someone broke into the town hall on the same day. What is going on in this place?"

"This is London, there is always something going on."

Indeed, he was right.

Even at the Phantomhive manor was it chaotic. Ciel was furious about his butlers actions. Not only didn't he get me back, but also a divorce...it was a disgrace for the Phantomhive staff. The reputation of the household will be at stake and still, it wasn't the young Earl's main problem. Sebastian didn't come home last night, so there was no one waking him up. With a grumpy face and a foul mood, he went downstairs. Bard had to make him breakfast and tea. As expected, he got full English 'burned' breakfast with a strong Earl Grey.
This morning was an utter disaster for the Earl. It got worse with the rest of the staff. Mey Rin messed up his clothes and burned the newspaper, Finny broke Ciel's desk, by dropping the books. Only the Gardner can manage something that no one else can. He really needed me back at the mansion...and that demon to take care of his duties.

Sebastian was not himself lately.

Being divorced shouldn't bother a demon, but I seem to have hit something inside him. The hatred and anger he has was hitting innocent people. To get back to the mansion, he has to pass that very town. Seeing couples and their happy faces was the last thing he needed, burning their happiness to the ground. Hearing them scream instead of laughter was music to his ears. Others who tried to escape the inferno, were butchered by the demon. However, this didn't help him at all. There was no way to get me back now...damage is done and all because of that reaper.

The young Earl was not interested in his butler's business. All he wants, is his servant back. With dirty clothes, messy hair and bare foot, he got on his coach. Bard had to drive him to London. If anyone can help him out besides Sebastian, it was me. Unlike his butler, Ciel knew were I was.

Undertaker and I couldn't believe our eyes, as the Earl appeared before us.

"Bad hair day eh?" I joked. Ciel was not in the mood for laughter, his frown deepened. I raised a brow, as Bard carried a box towards me. Waiting for an explanation, the Earl just went inside the shop, with the cook following him. Undertaker didn't understand this either. Confused I asked the young boy about his unexpected visit. His reply, was his stomach rumbling. Embarrassed, he looked away.

"...I need your help."

Ahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaa!!!!

"There is no laughing matter Undertaker!!!!!" I agreed with the Earl, but the mortician finds it extremely funny.

"You really can't do anything on your own...ahaahahahaahahah"

Ciel's face changed into a darker red, this was really humiliating for him. I pinched Undertaker's arm to stop him. Like that would work! I just let him roll on the floor, holding his stomach from laughing too hard. Grabbing the Earl, we went upstairs. It felt like being back at the mansion, taking over Sebastian's duties. Ciel provided enough money to get some decent food and everything else he needed at the moment. He didn't like it to be washed by a woman, but asking Undertaker was no option. With a red face, he let me do my job.

"My Lord, may I ask you a question?"
