A King's Story 4: Fading Light

Clark got a questioning look on his face. "What's going on here?"

 

Rika smiled. "It's okay."

Grell stayed quiet, looking down and gazing into space.
Alois watched Grell. "Did I get it right? Peter is your human name, correc-"
Grell suddenly lashed forward, grabbing Alois by the neck and lifting him from the floor. "WAS my human name."
Alois held his neck, scrabbling at Grell's hand.
"I left that name in Hell after I died... Peter Sutcliffe, the man who killed 14 women before killing himself and going to Hell for it...." Grell looked up at Alois, his eyes black. "Do you WANT to know how serious it is to name a Shinigami? What has Claude been teaching you?" He mocked him.
Akuji stood up. "Put Alois down Grell!"
Grell didn't respond, ignoring her. "I wonder if I should start again? Instead of Anne, maybe Alois? Then your sister Belle. Claude. Your second sister Danielle. Eva, your housemaid. Franchesca, your mother. Grace, your cousin. Hannah. Isobell, your friend. JIM."
Alois' eyes widened, them loosing focus.

Clark did nothing but watch the situation at hand. Although he had never seen this side of Grell before and had no idea what he was capable of, he was still interested in the information that was leaking out for it.

 

Matsu smiled back and took another picture of her. "there now I have smiley one of you"

 

Rika smiled more at him. "Yep!"

Claude stood by watching them. He didn't raise a hand against Grell.
Grell smirked. "Yes, I know about Jim. Asleep inside your body for thousands of years."
Alois gritted his teeth. "Cl-Cla..." He couldn't finish.
Grell watched him patiently. "C'mon. Defend yourslf Jim McCain."
"My name is Alois!" Alois shouted, his voice changing.

 

Clark's eyes widened just slightly. This is getting really interesting. He turned his head a bit to Akuji, seeing what her reaction was.

 

He grinned and held out the camera. He hugged rika and took a picture of them both.

 

Rika turned and kissed his cheek just before the camera took the picture. She started to smile afterwards.

Akuji was unnaturally calm at this. She sat there watching them both.
Alois started struggling. "Le-Let.... me go!" He shouted.
Grell examined him up and down. "Where did you go? What part of your conciousness did you try to hide Jim from me?"
"I don't know who you're talking about." Alois glared at him.
Grell squeezed his neck more. "A human can't defend itself from a Shinigami. I supposed Jim could."
"My. Name. Is. ALOIS TRANCY!" Alois shouted, his voice changing again. Suddenly wires extended up Grell's body, thorns digging into his skin.
Grell didn't even flinch.

 

Clark walked over to Akuji and contined to stare at the two, now enjoying it quite a bit.

 

Matsu blushed a little bit before smiling himself.

 

Rika took the camera, looking at it. "So how does the picture box wor-" She pressed the button, getting a face-full of light from the flash.

Alois smirked. "Do you really think I'm stupid enough to be put down by a mere human or Shinigami? I learned a few things in Hell you know. I'm sure you're good friends with what surrounds you now."
Grell looked at the thorns. "And so must you, Ji-"
"ALOIS."
Grell paused, looking at him. "JIM." He looked at Clark. "Young Master, it appears not only did Ciel Phantomhive and Elizabeth Middleford come back, that Jim McCain a.k.a Alois Trancy rose from the dead to become a..."
Alois laughed. "You don't even know what species I am! Brilliant! And you can't move your arm to get your ledger." He grinned madly. "Shall I correct you all? Ciel Phantomhive, Demon upon awakening. Elizabeth Middleford, Demon upon mutation. Alois Trancy, Asura upon rebirth."
Grell's eyes widened. "How can you be...?"
"I was misled. Instead of to Heaven, I went to Hell. But someone helped me. Dysdamien helped me soon after, around the 1900's."
"That two-timing baastard."

 

Clark had a bad feeling now. He clenthed his fist tightly as he faced Grell. "Explain it all to me now! Asura and everything!"

 

Matsu chuckled and took the camera back. "you point it at the thing you want a picture Of then press the button and it saves for you"

 

Rika nodded, rubbing her eyes. "Magic light hurtie...."

"Asura is a higher spirtiual being then a demon but under a Shinigami. They're neither bad nor good but when rubbed in the right or wrong direction they can be a Saint or a complete and utter Hell biatch. Basically Dysdamien (Dark) has brought Jim-"
"ALOIS!"
"".... Has brought Jim back from the dead and turned into an Asura. Grell explained. "Like Lizzy and Ciel, only more strong."

 

"So that makes him the enemy then." Clark glared at Alois. "What is the best thing to do with him? Imprison him somehow? Or maybe even kill him if possible. I really don't know much in order to determine something."

 

Akuji suddenly started laughing.
Grell watched Clark. "It doesn't. Asura's can help more then harm."
"Alois can't hurt a fly!" Akuji giggled.

 

Clark turned his glare to Akuji. "Don't poke fun at me! I'm unaware of this all!"

 

Akuji stood up, hugging him gently. "I'm sorry. It was funny."
"Anyway..." Grell watched them before turning back to Alois. "Get out of his body before I make you."
Alois shook his head. "No."
"Jim..."
"Fire."
Grell raised an eyebrow before an enslaught of bullets came down on him. The thorns disappeared and Grell fell back to the floor, dead.
Alois landed, grinned. "He's dead. He's dead! Poor thing..."

 

Clark pushed Akuji away, looking at Grell. "Stop playing around and get up. We don't have time for this nonsense."

 

Matsu held her hands after shoving the camera in his pocket. "can you see?"
