Authors Note: Hello! I came up with the concept of this story by of course watching Black Butler and my favourite character being Undertaker! There needs to be more Undertaker x Reader fanfics, whether romantic or friendship base! I intend to give my readers a little bit of both! Also this is set during the modern days and I am mixing both the manga and anime universe! So many surprises await you! Forgive me if any of the characters seem slightly out of character. I hope you enjoy!

Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji characters belong to Yana Toboso and you belong to you silly!

The Beginning

_ looked at her map with the information on it, directing her to where she needed to go. She had just graduated from college with a degree in mortuary science and the career office said that this place may offer an apprenticeship that will entitle her to get her own funeral business later in life. As she navigated the streets of London, she started to think about how she came to enjoy the thought of death.

Years ago she went to the funeral of her grandmother who died of natural causes. But _ had always wondered how the mortician was able to keep her looking as if she was still alive and would wake up any second and give her one of her warm and welcoming hugs she used to give her. Granted it was make up that was hiding the unnatural paleness the skin gets when one is dead, and if she wanted to she could have gotten a normal job in cosmetology, that way when she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she wouldn't be an outcast.

That was one problem she had, never having friends because people always thought she had an extremely weird and nasty obsession with the dead. Even all through her college career, she never went to social events and when she was seen walking to the college's well known cadaver lab, she heard people whispering in the halls saying how she loves dissecting the body and how she would dissect you if she heard you. Those cruel comments would have brought tears to her eyes in high school, as they once did, but over time she got used to it and learned to ignore it.

_ sighed as she shook her head to clear the thoughts of her lonely past as she came to a stop in front of a darkened storefront with a large sign with a skull adorning it that says Undertaker. She double checked the directions on her map and confirmed that this was the place.

She walked inside and found it to be dark and dusty, as if this place had been abandoned. Only a few candles were lit, the wax running down the old white candles. Various sized coffins were lining the walls, with a few on the floor.

"Geeze, this place can use an upgrade." _ said to no one particular. "Hello? Is anyone here?" she called out.

At that moment she heard creaking behind her. She may have been working with dead bodies and stuff hands on for a couple years now but still the hairs on the back of her neck stood up as she jumped out of her skin when she turned around and saw shining yellow/green eyes staring back out at her from inside a coffin that was leaning against the wall.

The man walked out of the coffin and started laughing as _ recovered from her momentary fright.

"Oh that was hysterical! You should have seen the look on your face!" he said while still giggling. "So what brings you to my shop?" the man asked her.

_ stared at him for a second. He was dressed in all black, including a weird looking hat that adorned his head, with a gray sash like fabric draping over his tall frame with equally long silver hair that _ was tempted to touch, his bangs covered half his face so she didn't know how to read his emotions. She then saw a glimmer of silver hanging near his hips. Lastly, she saw the odd scar crossing his face, another one on his thin neck and a small one on his pinky. She wondered how he got those. Maybe if she was lucky, she would find out someday.

"Oh yes, my name is _ and I came here asking if you are interested in taking on an apprentice? I have just graduated from college with a bachelor degree in mortuary science and I need to be an apprentice to a full fledge mortician to become a full fledge mortician myself. It has been my dream to be what you are for a long time." She explained to him.

He put his finger to his lips and thought for a moment. "Hmm I guess I could use a bit of help. I have been getting quite a bit of clients lately, you know, with the huge amount of deaths. Yeah I guess I can take on an apprentice." He said with a smile adorning his hidden face. "Be back here at 7am sharp, I have some things I want to cover before putting you to work." He said with a now slightly serious tone of voice.

_ nodded her head in understanding, shook his hand, thanked him and headed out the door. As she walked back to her apartment that she had bought with her savings, she smiled. Already she had found a job in her field. Everything seemed to be going her way.

When _ came home, she ate dinner, showered and got ready for bed. She giggled as she got excited again for what the next day will bring. She fell asleep soon after, her dreams containing the very person she just met.
