I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for the long delays! My exams were tough and my new classes are a lot of work. I'm off of my hiatus! Hurry! I've finally pulled myself together and got back in front of a computer. Oh how I've messed this. I'm sorry to keep all of you waiting! Shout to all who reviewed, alerted, and favorited the story. I really appreciate it. On another note, I have a Kuroshitsuji fanfiction in my mind right now. I'm starting to type out ideas onto a word document. I'm going to try something new and if you want to check out the details, go to my profile and I'll give you the details.

Now, ON WARD!

Arthur's POV

Arthur heard the ticking and felt the beating of the pulse where at the same pace. Arthur watched as Alfred's hand fell limp and the clock fell onto his lap. That's not a clock! Damn it, what was the name of those things? It's probably going to be so stupid that I'll want to headdesk myself when I figure out the name. Arthur panicked since Alfred wasn't waking. He knew he can't heal such a wound…but that won't ever stop a gentleman from trying.

Arthur raised his hands over the chest wound and murmured a healing spell. His emerald eyes glowed and he shut his eyes as he felt magic tingle every part of his body. A green light circled the wound and Arthur watched the wound stitch itself together. Arthur opened his eyes and watched as Alfred took deep breaths to get air through to his lungs. Arthur then remembered the hand, but no way in hell was he going to mess that nasty thing. The chest wound was enough to make Arthur completely weak. He hung his head and looked up at the assassin. Arthur slowly got to his feet and looked at the guards.

"Take that monster to the prison. I'll take Alfred here to the infirmary in the castle." Arthur ordered. The guards nodded and dragged Gilbert's limp body away. Arthur then picked up Alfred (Bloody hell he heavier than he looks!) and walked him over to the castle. H then walked straight to the infirmary. Nurses came forward right away. "Your majesty, what are your orders on this one?" One of them asked the Queen. "Just heal him so he'll wake up! And do something about that hand." Arthur ordered. The nurses bowed and went to work.

About a week and a half later

Alfred's POV

Alfred's chest hurts like hell. That is the only thing he could figure out. His vision was blurry…wait, where was Texas? His beloved glasses were gone? Alfred looked left and right and looked a table he didn't remember was in his room. Alfred then decided now wasn't the time to put Texas on.. He rested his head back onto the pillow and reached for Texas anyways. He shut his eyes and placed Texas onto his face and recalled his wild dream. He was talking to the Queen, then that joker, Gilbert, attacked him and destroyed his heart. Alfred laughed and winced at the pain in his chest. He seriously slept on it wrong!

Alfred then opened his eyes again and looked up at low rise ceiling. Alfred noticed the ceiling was white instead of a sage green. He noticed the mattress was harder than normal and there were only sheets. The dark green comforter was missing and the sheets weren't sage green, but white. His pillow also felt like it was stuffed with newspaper. Now Alfred sat up and took in his true surroundings. Well first, his bed was like a hospital bed. Metal frame, metal backrest, and a curtain was pulled around the bed. The curtain was decorated with black spades. Alfred remembered the hospital and the curtains were just plain white, like everything else in there. Alfred shivered and then noticed his shirt was gone. "What the hell is this?" Alfred whispered to himself. He then stared at his chest and saw a scary looking scar was on it. He looked to his left and saw his heart clock was stained with dried on blood. Alfred lifted his right hand and saw it decorated with bandages. It wasn't a dream?

"I hope he is awake, the Queen is a little worried, aru." Alfred heard someone say.

"Someone named Matthew Williams keeps coming and asking for him. I swear he is a clone of this man, aru." Alfred then figured it was the Jack of Spades, Yao. "I understand, sir. Let's check his heart rate and…" The curtain was pulled and Alfred pulled the sheets over his bare chest.

"What happened to pushing on the curtains?" Alfred screamed. Both jumped back at his sudden reaction to Alfred being awake. They both looked very, very surprised. A nurse was holding a cloth and was wearing all white (figures as much) while Yao was the only color in the room dressed in blues and violets.

"You're awake!" Yao exclaimed.

"Yes now can someone please throw me a bone and explain to me why the hell I'm not home?" Alfred then fumed.

"About that, you've been in a coma for almost two weeks." Yao started. Alfred then froze. Coma? He was in a coma? Holy shit, and for two weeks? What was going on in Matthew's mind right now? His brother has never returned home from the tea shop. Alfred then placed a hand over his heart. It wasn't beating. Alfred then turned to his Spades Clock. It was ticking very fast. Alfred then checked his pulse, beating…Gilbert destroyed his real heart! Alfred groaned and sank into the sheets.

"What is wrong, aru?" Yao asked.

"My real heart stopped beating! That is what is wrong!" Alfred screamed. "Impossible!" Yao shot back with the nurse. "Very possible. If you have a Heart Clock that is."

Yao was at a loss of words. Alfred then started to think he should probably explain himself.

"Well, you all know a Heart Clock isn't possible to make without Royal Magic and a Royal Bond, right? Now I got a small bond from our dear queen when I was younger. It was an accident but I've always been glad to have it, but what is the point? The only advantage is that if either heart is destroyed, I continue to live until the other one is destroyed or it stops ticking or beating," Alfred sighed, "I hate being powerful but if I were to be stabbed in the chest, I'll suffer blood loss and be in a coma for a while but I'll live. I'm basically immortal and I can stay alive if I do a magical seal to keep the clock ticking for forever and lock me in the form I'm currently in. So that means if I performed the seal now, I'll look like this forever. Now that I've explained myself, can I go home now?"

"No, in fact, I'd prefer it if you were to stay in the castle for a while longer." Came a new voice. Alfred took the pillow he was leaning on and began to smack his face with it. His royal majesty himself has decided to enlighten the hero's life with his presence. Alfred was not enlightened at all and he decided to show his disapproval with a good head bang to a pillow. Arthur growled at the man and walked forward the Alfred who glared up at the queen.

"This is how you treat the man who saved your life?" Arthur asked. Alfred gave a grunt with Yao.

"Sorry, Artie, but it wasn't you that saved me." Alfred laughed. Arthur looked shocked and Alfred was glad his eyes didn't show emotion once again. He was a little intimated by Arthur right now. His eyes would show his uncertainty. But his angry face with the expressionless eyes was enough to show Arthur's uncertainty in his eyes. Alfred saw Yao smirk.

"Wh-what?" Arthur stammered. Alfred laughed.

"Easy, it is called Royal Magic." Alfred said. Yao then put on the "Oh god" face as Arthur's face and eyes lit up the room with a burning fire.

"How dare you question the magic of my parents! How dare you speak of it as a joke! You want to die for real this time?" Arthur challenged. Alfred blinked a few times but his smirk returned. "A hero will let you try his best." Alfred offered as if doing him a favor. Arthur growled and pulled out and sword and then there was a clatter of metal and Alfred laughed at Arthur's surprised face. "Are you serious, aru?" Yao hissed as he held off Arthur. Arthur growled and took his sword away causing Yao to faceplant. "Ouch…" Alfred murmured. Yao got up and saw Arthur sheath his sword and walk to Alfred's bedside and pick up his Spade Clock. Alfred widened his eyes.

"So, Mr. Jones," Arthur rose the clock. Arthur's face was expressionless suddenly. His eyes had a dark aura in them, "what would happen," He rose the clock above his head, "if I were to smash this?" Alfred paled and hopped out of the bed, not caring at all about the fact his shirt was missing. Alfred then raised his hand to grab the clock. Alfred then grabbed Arthur's fingers and pressed them to the clock.

Alfred looked down onto Arthur and saw he turned a few shades of red. "Please don't smash that clock." Alfred then begged. "Arthur, stand down. If you smash that clock, then he dies, aru." Yao said with his voice shaking a bit. Arthur lowered the clock and stared up at Alfred's eyes and saw his face was full of pain and panic. Arthur lowered his hand and Alfred's hand was still on the clock. Arthur looked bewildered. "My chambers now." Arthur said.

Alfred then had possession of the clock but was then dragged by Arthur. Alfred's chest began to burn and he was struggling to breathe as he ran. "Arthur…my chest…it burns like hell!" Alfred moaned. The two ran up a flight of stairs then made a left. They ran down a hallway where there was a door on the left, right, and at the end of the hall. Arthur opened the door to the left and stepped into a dim lit room with a king sized bed on it and it was decorated with dark blue and violets. Spades were everywhere as well. Alfred then stopped and stared while catching his breath.

Arthur then yanked him onto the bed and Arthur went to the front of the bed and leaned on the frame of it. "You're immortal?" He asked. Alfred held up a hand. "I decline." Alfred said right away and swung his legs off of the bed. Alfred then blinked several times as a shirt was thrown to his face. Alfred stared at the cotton dark blue cotton shirt covering his view then put it on. It was a little large but he realized it was probably something the queen wears at night. Alfred then got up only to meet Arthur staring disapprovingly at him.

"I didn't even explain what my plans were!" Arthur protested. Alfred gave a sigh.

"Arthur, with all due respect, I haven't been home for almost two weeks. My brother is probably worried sick. Can you imagine going home and not seeing your brother home? Also, going to everywhere from the police to the hospital and them not having a clue where Alfred F. Jones has been?" Alfred said. He looked down and gave an upset sigh. "I wish he knew I was here." Alfred whispered. Alfred noticed Arthur giving a guilty look. Alfred then narrowed his eyes and his expression became dangerous.

"Um…Is your brother named Matthew Williams?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"I kind of told him he was a bloody wanker and a filthy peasant and that you were in the hospital. When he fought back, I threatened to kill you if he didn't leave. He still comes according to Yao but I never notice and just think Yao is insane." Arthur said nonchalantly. Arthur then shrugged as if it wasn't a bother to him at all. Alfred felt his hands tighten into balls of fists.

"YOU DID WHAT TO MY BROTHER?" Alfred shouted. Arthur took a step back. Alfred took a step forward then back, stared at the ceiling and threw his hands into the air and then let them fall to his side. He then stared at his Heart Clock, picked it up, and stuffed it into his pant pocket. Alfred shook his head.

"This is how my queen runs his castle? Threatening people's lives to get peace and quiet? Unbelievable." Alfred hissed. He stormed out of the room and retraced his steps so he could find his way to the main hall. Alfred pulled open the main castle doors to find Matthew about to knock on them. "Al-Alfred! I was just gonna…" Matthew then gave a small yelp as Alfred grabbed his wrist with his good and marched down the courtyard and past the castle walls down to his apartment.

"I-I'm glad your o-okay." Alfred heard Matthew stammer. Alfred put on a smile but kept his eyes narrowed. Alfred then stopped in front of the apartment and looked down at his shoes.

"Sorry about that, Matthew. I would've called you if I could, but…I was attacked by the joker and was put into a coma." Alfred said solemnly. Matthew then put on a shy smile.

"Alfred, all that counts is that you came back and you are alive. Besides, I completely hate it there. Arthur really isn't fit for queen." Matthew said. Alfred smiled since Matthew dropped his stuttering. Alfred put on his heroic smile and unlocked the apartment and walked to his side of the apartment and shut his eyes. He was home. The small smell of rosemary and mint came from the shirt. Alfred's smile widened.

Yao's POV

Yao was still blinking at the bed that once had Alfred in it. Yao shook his head and the nurse next to him sighed and walked to the back of the infirmary. Yao then thought it was appropriate to go and visit the two.

Yao made his way down the main hall then he walked up the giant staircase. He made a left and headed towards the chambers. Yao walked straight into Arthur's room and found the queen at his desk writing. Yao blinked several times in confusion. "Arthur?" He called. Arthur jumped and turned to look at Yao, the hopeful expression leaving his face right away.

Yao narrowed his eyes at the queen.

"Where is Alfred?" Yao asked. Arthur put on a guilty smile. Yao then stomped his foot.

"Jesus, Arthur! I turn my back on you for ten minutes and I notice that most powerful man in the world just left Spades Castle!" Yao hissed. Yao then paced back and forth putting on a thinking face. He rubbed his chin as he thought.

"Are you thinking of a plan to bring back a man you thought wouldn't be able to do anything?" Arthur then asked.

"Yes." Yao said as he continued to pace. Arthur put on a smirk.

"So what are you thinking?" Arthur sounded more persistent. Yao then stopped. What was he thinking about? Well, first was Arthur's behavior. The second was an immortal man that fell into Arthur and Yao's hand by some miracle and walked out on him. This is what Spades needs on the throne!

"That's it!" Yao then exclaimed throwing a finger in the air. Arthur turned around in his chair and watched Yao.

"Alright, first off, I'm sorry. I didn't think Alfred was this powerful. Second of all, this man is, basically, immortal. So if we get Alfred back here, get him used to palace life, we can arrange a political marriage, have him sit on the throne, and Spades won't be looked down as a minority! Just think of it, Arthur! Spades will be considered powerful kingdom since a man with a Heart Clock has been living in our kingdom finally decides to step forward and take his place on the throne. We will be power! We can take on the Heartzis! We can be so powerful we'd stop a full-fledged Suite War! He seems to have the brains of a great king would need! Arthur what do you think…Arthur?" Yao stopped to see him blushing. Yao gave a smirk.

"Well, first off, we have to get him back. No matter what, we have to get him back." Yao thoughtfully added. Arthur looked like he was up for the challenge.

"Nuh-uh, buddy, you've done enough damage, aru," Yao went back into his normal "aru-ing" self. "I'll go into the kingdom. I've got to get Alfred back before the Hearts Kingdom figures out that whoever Gilbert wanted to kill isn't dead." Yao said. Arthur reluctantly agreed and Yao grabbed a coat and walked out of the room. Yao stopped for a moment took in a small scent that he now realized filled the room. Yao turned on his heel and looked at Arthur.

"What's with the mint and rosemary, aru?" Yao asked. Arthur winked and a small green flame came from the closed eyelid. Yao sighed and left the room. Why mint and rosemary? Yao then remembered. Bridget, Arthur's mother, loved those two greens. Yao gave a solemn sigh. Arthur obviously was feeling alone again.

Yao also failed to notice the spy that listened to the whole conversation.

Alfred's POV

Alfred felt his shoulders being shook. "Alfred, Alfred!" He heard. Alfred sighed and sat up and rubbed the back of his head. He saw Matthew put on a small smile.

"I have to go back to work. They are expecting me back anytime now and if I'm late, I'll lose the job. Now I'll be back at the normal time, okay?" Matthew told him. Alfred nodded at his brother and then lied back down onto the couch. He then heard the door shut and he heard silence. A nice silence. He then felt something jump onto the couch and he gasped. He sat up right away and stared into America's eyes. Alfred put on a small smile and let the cat curl up onto his belly and the two fell asleep. There was a knock…Alfred thought he was dreaming.

There was again. Pound, pound, pound "Who is it? It is open!" Alfred called. America gave an annoyed meow and jumped off of his stomach causing Alfred to cough. Pound, pound, pound "I'M COMING!" Alfred yelled annoyed. Alfred looked down and noticed he was still wearing the dress pants from a week ago. Alfred then quickly changed into a pair of jeans and ran to the door. He opened the door and came face to face with Yao.

"Mr. Jones. I'm glad you are home. May I come in, aru?" Asked the Jack of Spades. Alfred blinked a few times. Canada and America were both trying to take a look at the visitor but Alfred quickly shooed the two away when he invited Yao in. Yao thanked the confused man and he stepped into the kitchen Matthew and Alfred shared and Alfred right away pulled out some cold tea and gave it to Yao.

"Thank you Mr. Jones. Now I have a small question for you," Yao started carefully and Alfred noticed Yao was watching him as his face twisted a bit, "Will you please come back to the castle?" Yao finished. Alfred sighed and pulled out a chair to sit in. Alfred looked down at the wooden context of the table that was in front of him.

"I really don't, Yao." Alfred deadpanned. Now his facial expression matched his blank eyes. Alfred could feel Yao gazing at him as he looked down. Alfred heard Yao bring a chair up next to him and take a seat. Alfred turned his head away from the jack and furrowed his brows together.

"Alfred, would you care to tell me why you wouldn't want to come back?" He asked slowly. Alfred finally looked forward and stared at Yao dead in the eyes.

"I don't want to leave my brother alone. I've already done it! I've been in that palace for a week and no one bothered to find Matthew and tell him what happened. I thought you people in the palace were better than this. Just the thought of leaving him out in the dark isn't fair. Arthur also doesn't have any respect for people outside of the castle."

"Arthur is under a lot of stress. It is hard for him to handle a few situations on his own. It seems as if…" The door to the apartment knocked again and Yao stood to open the door. There the two found a royal guard that was holding a very crumpled up piece of paper. "Queen Arthur told me to give this to you." The guard said. Yao took the letter and uncrumpled the piece of paper and turned to Alfred and began to read aloud the note:

Bonjour Arthur and Yao!

First off, how are you? I don't remember the last time I've written a letter to you two. Diamonds is recovering slowly from the invasion but I think we will be fine.

Second of off, Monsieur Hothead is tomber en amour? How romantic! I'll remember the roses and wine. Alfred is a nice name, no? Yes, you two found quite a powerful man indeed. I'm most intrigued. I'm surprised Arthur hasn't –The text is unreadable- but he isn't fun in the end. But I have a request. For his safety, all of Spades included, I request an alliance to be formed. All of Diamonds knows about Monsieur Heart Clock and are gonna try there hardest to capture him for my own purpose. Mes amis, I request that this marriage be quick and the new king makes this alliance as quick as possible. As punishment for not doing so, I'll start with Jones and his twin, and ally with the Clubs and Hearts. It is your choice, mon royaume voisin.

Bonne journée!

King Francis of Diamonds

Alfred watched Yao personally crumpled the letter even more. Alfred knew Arthur's seen the note. Alfred then drummed his fingers even more.

"Alfred, Spades and your safety have been threatened. A three on one war is not ideal for me and nor is it for you. I know it must be hard for you to leave your brother in such a rush considering the fact you just came home from a coma, but right now, Spades needs you, I need you, and Arthur needs you. We can't rule this kingdom on our own. A king on a throne is needed, and without one, we are going to be the first wiped off of the map. You are perfect for the role and it might be hard to except, but right now, you need to come back and face a new future in the Spades Palace. Please come. Please." Yao practically begged. Alfred looked down at his feet.

He then pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down a simple note. He folded it so it would stand up and printed the name "Matthew" in big, clear letters and stood up. He put on a black hoodie and whistled for America. The cat came and Alfred scooped her up and looked at Yao and gave a solemn sigh. "Alright let's go." He whispered sadly.

Kiku's POV

The sun began to rise in the Hearts Kingdom and Kiku knew he would have to ride in No Man's Land to reach Spades. Kiku put on a white uniform and placed his katana onto his back and walked out of the palace. He walked over to his armored horse and saddled it up for the journey.

"Ve~ you really want to go this morning, Kiku? I'm tired." Feliciano complained. Kiku looked up at the sky which was painted with oranges and pinks.

"Yes Feli. We were told to check daily if Gilbert is waiting. I'm not sure if he managed to escape but I sure hope I don't have to travel often. I wish Ludwig would stop his Heartzi promotions. They are truly a terrifying group of people. Unfortunately, I cannot question his motives," Kiku then mounted the horse, "all I can do is the orders Ludwig gives to me as queen. I sure hope Arthur is in a better place." Kiku then watched Feliciano mount his horse and Kiku kicked the horse's side for it to move forward.

They soon crossed the border into the desert. The two rode quietly through the dried land and watched for any of the mythical creatures that lived in it.

No Man's Land was a scary place for Kiku. Half of the Spades Independence War (or SIW) happened in No Man's Land after the Suite Ocean dried up mysteriously. Kiku was taught, after Hearts and Diamonds got involved in the SIW, that Hellhounds and Vampire Bats rule the land with giant spiders and scorpions. They say snakes will come and kill a man with a single bite and be dead in a half hour. Hellhounds will appear and kill a man and makes sure that all blood is left to stain the dried up ground. They say quicksand is also found in different parts of the dried up ocean. Kiku has never seen a Hellhound or Vampire Bat, but he's seen the spiders. They are about the size of his palm! Still Kiku rode on.

"Ve~ do you th-think a Hellhound will find us, Kiku?" Feliciano asked. Kiku shrugged but that same question hung in his mind. Would one find them? As the sun sank the further from Hearts the two got, No Man's Land seemed to get creepier. Kiku yanked on the strings of his horse which caused it to neigh in annoyance. Kiku then dismounted and stood on the hot sand.

"No matter where you are in No Man's Land, the sand seems hotter here." Kiku sighed sadly. The two were probably in the middle of the land. Kiku learned in school that the bloodiest battle was here. Kiku kneeled and brushed away the sand a bit. He felt something hard and jumped back. A bone was found there. It was stained with blood and a small club could be seen on it. The mark of murder. Someone from Spades killed that Clubs knight. Kiku looked around with what light he had and saw all the lumps of sand. Then the ones coated with something brown and crusty. Dried blood. Hellhounds would come here with Vampire Bats and maybe vultures! Kiku took a step back in horror as he saw history stare him straight in the face. Kiku could see the dreadful scene in front of him.

Kiku could hear the battle cries of fight men, the screams of dying knights; the sound of clattering swords…Kiku could feel Death as it constricted all of the happiness he felt inside of him. Kiku felt hands grip his wrists and arms, his ankles and feet. Forces tugged at his clothes and they begged for release of the world. Kiku stood motionless as he heard pleas of death or life. Death then wrapped its arms around Kiku and tugged at his katana. Yellow eyes surrounded Kiku and Feliciano as Death listened to Kiku's breathing slow as he saw the hounds stalking him. The whispers turned to screams of help. Help…Kiku did nothing…he just stood and listened as his ears rang. Death tugged harder and harder onto the katana. 'Take us from this place, Queen Kiku!' 'Why did we enter this impossible war?' 'You were a coward, Kiku!' All shouts encircled Kiku as Death grabbed the katana's handle and pulled it from its holding spot. Kiku stepped backward and gripped the handle of the horse. He could hear Feli screaming as the hooded figure of Death rose the katana into the air. He then brought it down and it vaporized into black smoke before it could pierce Kiku's head. The noises stopped, the screaming subsided, and the hounds ran. Kiku stood with the katana now on the ground giving off a black smoke.

"Wherever you go, Death will follow, wherever you hide, Death will search forever, whatever choice you make, Death shall claim another. Death follows you, Kiku, more death comes with the simplest of orders. Death will never pity you Kiku, just laugh at your faults and laugh at a now unavoidable future." Kiku heard in the wind. Kiku has had enough. He grabbed his katana then mounted his horse and turned it towards his kingdom.

"Let's get home, now." Kiku said and kicked the horse's side harshly so it could burst into a sprint. Feli wasn't far behind the queen.

"He's following, he's following…" Kiku heard the voice of Death follow him.

"Hearts has made a mistake…Hearts shall pay one day…" Death whispered. Kiku looked behind him and saw the black smoke following him. Kiku kicked his horse's sides again. He felt sweat drip down his forehead as he was desperate to find the sun again. Kiku heard Feli gasp as the shadows swallowed the ground to make it look as if they were running on the dark voids of space.

"And Hearts and Spades blood will be solid again all on Kiku and Ludwig's account. The Hearts army falls by the order of the king…the world won't be the same. Another form of darkness will come to punish you, Kiku. Another shall suffer the same…but no matter where you go in Spades, I shall follow." Death's rasp voice made Kiku shiver as he rode. The sun was suddenly visible and was half way up the sky.

"A Second Heart and a Dark Queen shall come to power and the Second Heart shall bring peace while the Dark Queen attempts to bring chaos." Death then spoke. Kiku then knew he wouldn't forget those words…a Second Heart and Dark Queen.

"Across the desert you shall see, a two sided kingdom of light and dark, and the choice of the other three shall determine the fate of the Second Heart." Death then flew off of the two and Kiku watched as it raced towards the other side of the desert. Now Spades was in trouble. What the hell was a Second Heart…then it clicked…a Heart Clock…someone over there has one. It is a prophecy Death has given Kiku. A warning. Kiku shock his head as he crossed into Hearts Kingdom. He stopped his horse and stepped onto the border. Kiku doesn't want to believe the prophecy, it was Death that gave such a dark warning…but what point was that? It was a prophecy he shouldn't ignore. Kiku knew what he must do.

He must double cross his own king.

Wow, Kiku and Death don't get along very well, do they? The Kiku and Death scene basically reminds Kiku that when he was a child during the SIW, he was convinced to ally with Spades and sent many men to their death. Now Death, not always being a bad guy, wants to warn Kiku of an upcoming tragedy that he should try and stop. Now this chapter will probably be explained further in Inside the Minds of Those around Me since it basically explains Kiku's role now. Kiku will start off the next chapter with him thinking about the prophecy then the spotlight will go back to Alfred. Then the Awesome Joker will come and make an appearance and we get some Heart Clock action once again! Also, a Suite War(Basically a World War)? It looks possible and Francis is introduced! He will be seen later on in the story but right now, he is scene through a letter given to Arthur and Yao. Kiku has more encounters with Death just so you know and Death, in my mind, is a little scary, even trying to help Kiku! Now I understand this chapter is EVERYWHERE but we get to see some dark stuff next chapter so be warned…
