Answer to Neverchange 5986 Review: How did Kumajirou died?
Well, after Mathiew died, Kumajirou went to look for him since he was worried for his owner, ignoring Mathiew's warning that if somebody saw him they may shoot him, he found Mathiew's body laying on the ground, no signs of harm but no longer breathing, a hunter saw him and killed him. Reason: not Mathiew, his beautiful fur was the reason he got killed.
Mathiew's POV
I awoke to some banging on my door, we were already on vacation and by Arthur's orders we were preparing for Christmas… which is today.
"Mattieeee get up!" The voice of Mei sounded muffled by the door.
I groaned and pulled my pillow to my ears "Five minutes more!"
"It's 11:45 am, don't be lazy" Suddenly my door was thrown out of its hinges and in there stood Mei with a big smile on her face, I remember that the first time I met her, I thought she was peaceful…
"Do you know that that's the fifth door I have to repair, right?" I said as I massaged my temples and slowly stood up
"Well the other doors weren't my fault" Mei replied and placed her hand on her hips in a scolding manner "Get ready, there's lots of thing to do"
She left and I only felt the breeze coming from where the door used to be, I took a robe and left for the bathroom. Hopefully no one will blow up my bathroom door…
I towards the cafeteria and ordered some pancakes with a glass of milk
"Like, pancakes again?" Feliks appeared beside me, or maybe I just didn't notice him
"Yes, I'm quite fond of them" I said taking my tray "Where are the others?"
"Well, Raivis is on the garden along with Mei, Ivan is trying to befriend some of Liz's guinea pigs, poor thing I heard he got turned down by a hamster, Berwald is with Tino preparing something for tonight, Daniel, Diana and Liz are planning something with fireworks and I heard them talking about a 'Broma' wherever that is, Emil is with Lukas who is also fond of him, Leon is getting the fireworks for the Hispanic trio and Oliver is nowhere to be seen" Feliks said in one big breath "And I came to get you to help me choose the decorations for the event"
And so Feliks dragged me to who knows where…
Arthur's POV
Christmas morning….my head hurt at the very thought.
I like Christmas, don't get me wrong, but it's just so much bloody work. If Christmas gets you busy when you're alive, imagine how it is when you're dead. His Holy Lord says that the Christmas spirit on Earth comes directly from heaven, so in heaven there must be much more joy and happiness so it can arrive. But arranging joy ain't easy twits.
Yes, yes, everybody has fun and they are happy and they share and smile and live like they've never lived before, yes….but who do you think has to do all the bloody hard work? Of course, us seraphs.
And this year we had lots, lots of newcomers to organize and they just kept arriving. Lately, on Christmas Eve is when we have more saturation at the gates that at any other time of the year.
I sighed and went through the pile of papers in front of me. That morning I had gone to The Hall to receive the instructions for the day. Sure, we'd been preparing for months, but even all that work seemed too little when the big day arrived. The first thing me and my partners had to do was check the archives and classify the angels by rank, compound, skills, age, etc.
I'd been assigned both my compound and compound's K archives. I opened a folder and saw Matthew's picture. His report had a few more spaces filled, like the time he had death until that day and the skill he had. I tensed when I read the battle skill. Archery, how ironic. I shook my head and tossed the folder aside, putting it on the pile it was to be.
When I was done I gave the piles to one of my partners and he put them with the rest.
"Now" he called "We'll do this by luck, we all have one hell of work anyway" everybody nodded and smiled slightly. From a bag he took out several papers whit our names and started reading them one by one. And one by one they went to pick some random piles of folders and exited the room to go to the compound they were assigned. When he called my name I approached and he handed me two oddly familiar bunches of folders. I searched the first ones and they read 'Compound K'.
"Oh, this has to be a joke" I thought. But there was nothing I could do about it, so I just nodded and flew to Compound K's school.
While flying I checked some of the folders. I had guys that excelled at cooking, plastic arts and organization.
Every school was organizing its own event, but they all had to help with the general preparations as well. And I had to go and coordinate them, assigning everyone a task and just checking they fulfilled it. As easy as it sounds it is not. Newcomers and minor rank angels were kind of difficult to deal with. Since they were mainly young and restless and they thought that because they were dead they were now 'amazing' they tended to ignore orders. And Compound K was mainly composed by newcomers.
When on the school's garden I found Bob.
"Hey" he greeted, whit his usual smile.
I sighed. "How can you be so happy having to do this?" I asked.
"I just deal with it" he said "What have you got?"
"Kitchen, crafts and organizers" I answered "And you?"
"Music, stagehands and some organizers as well" he said, walking towards the door. When I didn't move he turned to look at me. "Oh come on already! Let's just be freakin' done with this. The sooner the better!" he pushed the door open.
I could just rub my temples one last time before following him though the doors…..
Mathiew's POV
Feliks kept running until we crashed on something, or rather someone on the entrance. It was Bob and Arthur, Arthur was on the floor and the folders he had been carrying were all sprawled across the floor.
"You bloody wankers! Watch where you're going" Arthur said angrily and began picking up the folders; he turned and looked at us, well more exactly, me.
"Good, I needed to find you, come, you're going to help in the kitchen" and so Arthur dragged me for half hallway until he stooped and looked straight through a half closed door, I was about to take a peak when he resumed dragging me.
"Do you happen to know why is Leon carrying gunpowder or where did he got it?" His piercing green yes looked at me
"Not really" I answered
"Well it doesn't matter, for now" he opened the door to the cafeteria, it wasn't fully decorated, there were still ornaments on the tables, but even so it looked amazing.
Huge colored spheres were hanging from the ceiling; also colorful lights were around, and of course the infamous mistletoes were scattered around waiting for helpless victims, along many other things that I couldn't name.
On the corner of the place, there was a huge tree decorated with angels, bells, ribbons, lights, flags (?),etc. what caught my attention were some goats under the tree, over their heads there were some candles (1).
"Should I ask?" I said nervously
"No, let's get to the kitchen" Arthur opened the back door of the cafeteria
As he opened the door, we could see the chaos going on the cafeteria; Lovino was making huge bowls of pasta but with his demon's tail he kept hitting stuff and throwing it down, Natalya was making some Ukrainian dish, her robe keeping her demon wings at bay.
"My brother is coming… more pasta…" Lovino muttered under his breath
"STOP MAKING A RUCKUS!" Arthur yelled "That's what I get for dealing with demons" he murmured under his breath
"Mathiew here is going to help you" He pushed me and left. Natalya and Lovino looked at me a mischievous glint on their eyes.
Oh sweet mother of Maple, what has Arthur gotten me into…
Arthur's POV
"One less, one hundred to go" I muttered to myself as I flew through the hallways. While dragging Mathew away I heard Bob telling Felix to call everyone to the auditorium. I opened the doors and found all the students gathered. Most of them were sitting calmly, but they were talking and laughing so loud that the whole place was noisy.
I made my way to the stage. Bob was trying vainly to get their attention. I sighed and took out the cornet Mr. Clousier had given me. 'Maybe you'll need it' he'd said. I sounded it and soon enough everybody went silent and looked at us.
"Thank you" I said "Good morning. As you know, today mortals celebrate Christmas and so do we, reason why we have to prepare the correspondent celebration. Here" I taped the folders over a table "we have your names and information. We will call you one by one and you'll be assigned a task according to some of your most prominent skills" I explained. Everyone looked around muttering things. I handed Bob a pile.
"Thanks" he said.
"You just have to deal with it" I smiled. He laughed and took the folders.
"Okay, we begin" he said "To help in the kitchen…" he began calling names and asking them to stand up and gather in a corner. We did so until everybody had an assigned task and they were starting to get noisy again.
"That's all!" I spoke up. "Organizers, please help me here. Everybody get to work!"
Still between laughter and chattering, they exited the auditorium in groups and headed to their respective workplaces. Bob said he'd go to help some stagehands and I wanted to return to The Hall for some papers I'd forgotten. I was about to open the doors and go out when something grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"What the-" a hand covered my mouth and everything went black.
When I opened my eyes I was in a dark room. I rubbed my head and tried to stood, but I was secured to a chair with…duct tape?
"Ah, Arthur cher" I recognized the insufferable voice tone. From the shadows emerged the figure of Francis.
"Bloody frog" I said "What are you doing with…" I looked down at myself and gasped. Apart from the bloody tape all around my body, I was dressed in a reindeer costume!
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I demanded. He looked at me and smirked.
"Arthur mon amie, I so needed to do this" he said.
"And you had to kidnap me for that?"
"You wouldn't have accepted other way."
"You're right, I wouldn't. And I don't. Let me go!" I struggled to get free from the tape, but it was useless.
"Take it easy mon amie" he said, his back upon me, as he searched for something in a box "This won't hurt one bit" he turned to see me and he was holding a round red thing in his hands.
"What's that?"
"Just a little something" another voice said. Next to Francis another figure appeared.
"Oliver" I almost growled. Of course, the two people who enjoy the most making my life miserable.
He smiled.
"Oh Artie, look at your face, a reindeer is not that grumpy" he said, placing something over my head, which looked oddly like a diadem.
"Can I know why in the bloody hell did you dress me like a reindeer?" I asked, annoyed to no end, but knowing it was useless to argue with those two.
"Let's just say it's a favor I owed to a certain someone…and it seemed like lots of fun so, why not?" Francis answered, putting the red thing over my nose. As soon as he did it he and Oliver burst out laughing and pointing at my face. I started fuming.
"SHUT UP AND LET ME GO!" They laughed harder.
"Don't think so mon amie" Francis said.
"Oh no poppet" Oliver agreed, holding a red sac "You ain't going anywhere" he said with a creepy smile. I gulped.
"W-what the bloody hell is that?" I asked.
They looked at each other with a complicity smile and approached to me. Oh dear God…
Third person POV
After long hours of work (except Heracles, he had been sleeping all day) the decorations and the food was done.
Mathiew went to change for something more 'merrier' (something not white) and came back to find … a happy Lovino?
"Lovino, why are you so happy?" Mathiew got close and place his hand on the other's shoulder
"Veee~ I'm not Lovi, I am his twin Feliciano" Feliciano said happily and shook Mathiew's hand, now Mathiew noticed that this guy had a halo.
"Hello Feli-" Mathiew was cut off by Lovino calling Feliciano "You're not supposed to be here yet!"
"Waah, in hell they gave me permission to come sooner, Katty is also here" Feliciano began blabbering quickly panicking more as each word came out
Mathiew walked away from the pair but he was quickly run over by a woman with a huge chest "Oh, I'm sorry" the person said and extended her hand towards Mathiew
Mathiew took it and slowly stood up "It's fine, I am Mathiew by the way"
"I'm Katryushka but you can call me Katty" She smiled "Have you seen Natalya?"
"No I haven't" Mathiew answered and Katty left
"Are you ready? Do you know your lines? Who is going to dress him? That's Francis job…" Mathiew heard the Hispanic trio muttering
"What are you going to do?" Mathiew asked, the trio at first looked scared but then they relaxed
"I thought you were a teacher" Liz said "Just wait and see"
Leon came walking towards them and gave them a black bag "I got what you ordered"
"Thanks… almost complete" Daniel smirked and took out a lighter
"Not yet rosa" Diana took away the lighter and placed it on her robe's pocket
"What's that on the bag?" Mathiew said now more interested because of the way they were acting
"Some fireworks, bolitas, cebollitas, buscapies, palomas, G15, silbadores, huevo de toro, luces (2) among others which the names I can't seem to remember" Liz said and showed me her merchandise "What's a celebration without fireworks? Besides we are already dead so it won't really matter"
Liz gave to Mathiew a small pack of 'luces' and she left with the others
"Mathiew!" Mathiew looked around in search for the voice's source; he looked down and saw Raivis smiling at him
"Hello Raivis, how's your day been so far?" Mathiew smiled and petted Raivis' hair
"Good, I helped Mr. Ivan with decorating the sled, also the guinea pigs…" Raivis pulled Mathiew's hand and led him to some chairs in front of the tree "The show is about to start"
"Show?" Mathiew said confused "Why I know nothing of this?"
Raivis just smiled and went back on admiring the tree, Mathiew looked around and saw the others arriving ans sitting around.
Tino arrived with Berwald and Hanatamago smiling brightly and chanting something that sounded like "Moi Moi"
Lovino was sitting between Feliciano and Antonio, Antonio speaking with him and Feliciano speaking with Ludwig about random topics, Lovino looked ready to bolt out of the place but stayed.
Mei sat with Yao and Kiku, happily chatting with Yao and Kiku just sat there quietly, Mei suddenly hugged Kiku and he blushed a dark shade of red before stuttering that it was indecent.
Natalya was sitting with Katty who seemed a little nervous, Natalya keep looking around as if trying to find something before she settled and began talking to Katty.
Heracles was sleeping surrounded by cats and Gupta was at his side petting one, he looked at his wrist and woke Heracles.
Juan was with Vlad and Lukas, they kept talking about mythical creatures and to thin air "Alebrijes are best" "No, Strigoi" "No, Troll is the best"
Leon and Jett were sitting together, Jett kept poking at Leon until he finally got annoyed and kicked him out of his place.
Edward, Abel, Toris and the Hispanic trio were nowhere to be seen
Lieng and Lily were sitting together, both of them smiling and laughing behind them stood Vash with a neutral expression.
"Mathiew, Raivis, Mind if we sit with you?" Feliks said smiling and behind him was an annoyed Emil
"No, we got the best place" Raivis said smiling and looked at his wristwatch
"For what?" Feliks said confused not noticing Emil smiling slightly
"You'll see… you'll see…" Emil said quietly
Francis entered the room with an aura of victory and sat behind them
"Why so happy? Like, Arthur kissed you?" Feliks turned around and faced Francis
"Unfortunately no, but I got to do something rather funny to him…" He smirked and pointed at the door "look"
The door was suddenly thrown open, Ivan came from it dressed up as Santa (minus the beard) on top of a sled, been pulled by guinea pigs dressed as reindeers, poking out of the bright red bag was Arthur, behind them the Hispanic trio were throwing cebollitas and buscapies scaring most of the angels out of the way.
"Let me go in this bloody instant!" Arthur struggled on the sac as Ivan placed him on the floor
The Hispanic trio turned on some luces and began singing
"Arthur the homo reindeer
Had a very bushy brow
And if you ever saw it
You would ask yourself 'Just HOW?'
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Arthur
Join any reindeer games
Then one foggy U.N day
Big boss came to say
Arthur, you're not a bloody reindeer, why are you dressing yourself as one, get back to work
'Yes… my Lord…'"
The busted out laughing as they took Arthur out of the sac, he was dressed as a reindeer, a diadem with horns and the ears was placed on top of his head, he was wearing a motley that imitated a real reindeer's colors and the shoes looked like hooves.
"Wait 'till I get my hands on you!" Arthur stood but tumbled down with his hooves "when I take this off!" The cafeteria was filled with laugher at poor Arthur
The trio got close to Francis and Diana high-five him as she said "Good job, nice costume"
"Frog! You helped them" Arthur looked at them with a poisonous glare and hopped towards them "Stupid hooves"
"Arthur, its Christmas! Don't be such a downer" Diana said as she pulled his cheek
Mathiew looked amazed at the exchange of friendship "I didn't know Diana was a close friend of yours…"
Arthur stopped arguing with Francis and looked at him "I met them when I was alive"
"Ya hay que prenderlos" Daniel said and jumped up and down in a childish manner
"Agarralos" Liz extended the bag towards Daniel; he smiled brightly and went outside
"Let's go Diana, we're going to put a show today" Liz said and dragged her not before telling Francis "Get everyone outside"
Francis somehow managed to get the attention of around one hundred angels and led them outside, the lights from the compound went out, making some of the angels jump, and lights began to appear randomly whether it was on the sky (higher) or on the floor.
Loud explosions were present on the air and whistles, before colorful explosions filled the sky, they lasted for a while before it was dark again, the lights on the compound returned.
"It was a nice show" Raivis said startling Mathiew who hadn't seen him
"So this is what you kept talking about…" Mathiew followed Raivis inside
By now the cafeteria was filled with empty plates and delicious looking food, making most angel's mouth water
The group sat down together, many congratulating Ivan and his guinea pig ridding and the Hispanic trio on the show.
It all came to a moment of peace between the group before Diana and Liz began singing
"On the first day of Christmas a nation gave to me: A big cake, colored brightly
On the second day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 2 Italian brothers
On the third day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 3 French kisses
On the fourth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 4 Forgetting bears
On the fifth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 5 MEEEETERRSSSS LOOONGGG!~
On the sixth day of Christmas a nation gave to me:6 Buff shinattys
On the seventh day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 7 ripe tomatoes
On the eighth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 8 Mint bunnies flying
On the ninth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 9 Ahoges dancing
On the tenth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 10 Mochis eating
On the eleventh day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 11 Ponies neighing
On the twelfth day of Christmas a nation gave to me: 12 scones a-smoking"
"What are they singing?" Mathiew asked quietly at Daniel
"Honestly I have no idea, just let them be" Daniel replied as he filled his plate for the fifth time
Mathiew just eyed him and looked at Arthur (dressed normally), he was sipping his tea and looked at the clock. It stroke twelve and made a loud noise of a cuckoo.
Arthur stood and looked at the group "Well, Merry Christmas everyone" Francis was beside him and began honing "What is it you bloody frog" Arthur snapped at him
Francis pointed up between him and Arthur "Mistletoe" he smirked
Arthur paled before he turned to the others on the table, some, where ignoring his situation others watched with amusement but nobody seemed that they were going to help him.
"His Holy Lord needs me" And Arthur dashed out of the cafeteria
Francis watched with amusement as the Brit left "That was certainly entertaining"
