Stars

How did we ever go this far?

You touch my hand and start the car

And for the first time in my life

I'm crying.

Are we in space? Do we belong?

Someplace where no one calls it wrong?

And like the stars we burn away…

Grell and William sat in silence in William's office, going over outdated Magic Play books that hadn't been judged yet, some of the books dated back several century's. Grell closed his lasted book with a load and tired groan, turning his attention to William who didn't so much as look up from his own book.

"Hey, I have a question, its been bothering me for a while now." He said, he was talking normal for once instead of his usual girlish manner, this alone made Will look up at him and raise a curious brow.

"Alright, I'm listening." He said in his usual monotone, Grell's expression remained inquisitive and he went on to ask, "Remember in the library the other day? Y'know when Undertaker was here and you told me he was a shinigami, but that he had quite?" Will nodded in response, so Grell continued, "Why exactly did he quite? I mean, it wasn't just to be an undertaker…was it?" Grell tilted his head to the side slightly, his crimson red hair falling in that direction in a water fall of soft silky locks, Will did not answer at first.

The dark haired shinigami stood and approached a book shelf with glass doors on its front, the doors were locked with a glass lock too, reaching into his pocket he pulled forth a glass key and opened the case. Selecting a single book he handed it to Grell, saying in a quiet voice, "Because I took something very dear to him away."

Grell looked down at the Magic Play curiously, the cover read a single name Alyssin Snow, 'What a pretty name…' Grell thought, eyeing the cover and opening it, he watched as the Cinematic Data began to play out the person's life.

It was 1584, in London, a young girl, about the age of sixteen, was walking down the busy streets with a smile so lovely it could of melted even the snow in the dead of winter. She had the loveliest long white hair that cascaded down her back like freshly fallen snow, her eyes were a beautiful shade of blood red and her skin the most beautiful alabaster, she was a walking master piece over beauty and grace. She wore a simple pink dress made of fine velvet, a thin gold chain hung loosly around her tiny waist and its long end swung to and fro as she walked.

She ran into someone, a tall man with long gray hair and glasses that hid his eyes, he was wearing a dashing black suit and tie, The Undertaker? "I'm so sorry miss, I wasn't looking where I was going!" He said, his voice not the humorous tone Grell knew all to well, but the polite and kind one of a gentlemen.

She smiled up at him, tilting her head to the side a bit, "No, no, its quite all right! I was day dreaming again and was not looking!" Her voice was just as lovely as the rest of her, soft and sweet like honey or melted chocolate!

Undertaker laughed lightly at her comment, a very faint pink coloring his cheeks. "Well, I suppose we are both dreamers, then?" He grinned and bowed, tilting his head down just enough for his lime green eyes to be seen over the glass of his spectacles.

"A lady so lovely shouldn't be out alone, perhaps I could walk you to your destination?" He asked politely, smiling a wide happy grin, she blushed a deep red and smiled back with nod of her pale head. "I would like that very much!"

The data skipped ahead several months, the scene had changed to a lovely meadow full of small wild flowers, Undertaker sat on the ground while the pale girl danced about in the grass picking flowers and making little crowns out of them. She wore a lovely white dress, the sleeves were long and tight and clung to her hands and wrists, its skirt flowed down well past her delicate feet.

Undertaker grinned when she came over to him and offered him a crown of white flowers, "Why, thank you, my dear little Snowflake!" He smiled warmly and placed the crown on his head, she giggled at the cute pet name and sat in front of him on her knees, leaning slightly forward on her hands towards him.

"You make a very handsome Prince, Shi-kun!" She giggled again and he reached out a hand to touch her face, running his long fingers over her cheek, his head tilted to the side as he watched he reaction, she leaned into his touch and closed her crimson eyes contently.

He pulled her into his lap, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and burying his face in her soft hair, breathing her smell in. He shuddered suddenly and she turned her head toward him, "What's wrong?" She asked with obvious concern, he laid his forehead on her shoulder and nuzzled her, making her giggle softly.

"Will you promise me something, Snowflake?" He asked softly and she nodded waiting to hear what he would ask of her.

He clung to her tightly as he spoke his next sentence, his the sadness and fear in his voice very apparent. "Don't die. Stay by my side for eternity?" She smiled warmly and turned around in his embrace, wrapping her arms about his neck as she now stood on her knees and looked down at his sad and dessperate expression.

"I promise, we'll always be together and no one can tear us apart!" She whispered reassuringly as she leaned her forehead against his, he smiled softly and closed his eyes.

Again the data skipped ahead, this time it was the dark streets of London, it was raining and Alyssin was now wearing a long sleeved light blue dress, a simple gold rope belt hung loosely around her thin waist as she walked along under a black umbrella, she seemed unusually tense and nervous.

As she passed an ally a man reached out and dragged her down the dark corridor between the tall buildings, covering her mouth with his hand, she screamed and fought to no avail.

Her dragged her good ways to a small abandoned building on the edge of London's East End, once inside he threw her on the ground of a dirty little room and straddled her, pulling out a knife and holding it to her pale alabaster throat.

She whimpered in fright and he placed a hand over her mouth, pressing the knife edge delicately into her skin, drawing a fine line of blood to the surface. "Hush my dear, this will only hurt for a bit, then it will all be over." He whispered, grinning manically as he cut open the front of her dress with the knife, she whimpered once more in fear.

In the background, carefully hidden by the shadows, was William. He looked much the same as he did now, aside from the fact his face showed how he felt as he looked away from the sight before him with utter disgust. "I'm sorry…" He whispered under his breath as he glanced down at the girls frightened face, wondering why he had to kill one so young and why she had to go in such a gruesome manner.

The sound of a screaming and ripping flesh could be heard and Will's face paled considerably as he silently reaped the poor girls soul as she bled to death on the floor of the dirty little room, the man cackled happily as he held her bleeding heart in his hands.

Outside the room, in the hall, thundering foot falls could be heard racing to the room. In an instant the door was flung violently open, leaving a dent behind in the wall, and the Undertaker himself rushed in.

"Snowflake?" He froze, staring in wide eyed horror at the sight he be held, blood had flooded out onto the floor around the girl. A flash of lightning illuminated the room and even in death one could see she was beautiful, the light blue dress she wore was now soaked red and a gapping hole could be seen his her chest, her once brilliant red eyes stared blankly up at the ceiling and her soft pink lips were open ever so slightly as a small trail of blood flowed down her cheek and stained her white hair.

The man looked at him and grinned stupidly. "Aw, did you want her heart too?" He asked, Undertaker tilted his head down, his bangs covering all but the frown that marred his features. A second later, another flash of lightning, he raised his massive scythe into the air and it glinted menacingly in the light as he released a loud roar.

Lunging forward he sliced the man to bits, swinging the blade over and over till there was nothing left but a large puddle of blood, bones, and flesh.

Breathing hard shaky breathes, the Undertaker knelt down beside the girl, reaching out his long fingers to caress her face. He looked broken, totally and completely defeated, tears slowly ran down his face to fall like the rain onto her face.

"Why…?" He asked, turning to William, who stood stunned and frozen in fear in the corner, afraid for the first time for his immortal life. "I…I d-didn't have a ch-choice…She was on the list….I had my o-orders." William stuttered, fearing the other shinigami wrath, but the other merely looked back at his fallen love.

"Leave…" Undertaker whispered, Will did just that, not needing to be asked twice, he fled from the room as fast as he could.

Undertaker caressed the girls face once more, wiping the blood from her lips and closing her lifeless crimson eyes, "I'm so sorry, Snowflake…I couldn't protect you….All this power and I couldn't protect even your fragile life….I see now…I never deserved your love…" He pulled her into his arms, holding her close, he looked toward the ceiling and cried out in his anguish a sound so sad it could of made even the coldest demon heart sick.

Grell closed the book as the Data stopped playing, tears running down his own face, he looked up at Will who did not meet his eyes.

"After that, He request time and time again for her to be resurrected as a shinigami, but each time the council denied him. He quiet not too long after that, having given up on getting her back, he saw to it she had a burial worthy of a queen. And…well you've seen how he is now…He requires laughter as payment for his information…Because, like the Phantomhive boy, he no longer feels happiness in heart." William stated softly, his hands folded before him as his bangs hid his eyes, but his statement gave Grell a wonderful idea.

Ok so I wrote this for sevral reasons...one I've become addicted to Kuroshitsuji and two there are not enough Undertaker x OC stories, three...I couldn't get this out of my head! I might write a Grell X OC story later, im not sure yet XD And as for my other stories, I'll be updating soon, I'm having trouble writing them at the moment.
