Matchmaker: The Beginning
By Azure R
Zeus, captain of Gods and Goddesses, was sitting on
his throne on Olympus Mountain.
A long time ago, people did many bad things to the
Earth. Gods and Goddesses who were involved with nature were angered by people
more and more. They complained to Zeus and asked his permission to destroy
the entire human race, but some of Gods and Goddesses argued that there still
were some people who loved the world and protected it with their powers. It
was unfair to annihilate them.
The quarrel began to get serious gradually. Zeus decided
that he must to do something before it ended up with a battle between all
of the Gods and Goddesses. So he demanded Clotho, the Fates who spun the thread
to weave the fates for the Dragons of Heaven and Dragons of Earth and bind
with them to battle. Then he ordered Gods and Goddesses to incarnate into
the World to learn about the human's feeling and then decided themselves what
they really wanted to do. Protect or Destroy human.
Finally, the Promised Day was finished with blood.
Half of people had died and the other half still alive.
Most of the Seals and Angels had died. The remaining
Seals were Kamui, Subaru and Yuzuriha. The remaining Angels were Kusanagi
and Nataku who changed their mind to help the Seals in that day. However,
they had to remain in the hospital for two months in order to recover.
"What are you doing, dear?" A Feminine voice
that he heard a long time ago asked behind.
Zeus turned around and pulled his beautiful queen to
sit on his lap.
"I'm thinking about that day,"
Hera married Zeus a long time and knew him very well.
So she understood immediately what he meant.
"Promised Day? It had passed nearly a year and
half ago. The humans had learned their mistake and improved themselves very
much. All the Gods and Goddesses aren't angry with them anymore. So, why do
you still think about it?" The Goddess of Marriage asked with confused.
"Yeah, the human are okay now, but the rest of
the Seals and Angels aren't happy enough," Zeus said and embraced her
waist lightly.
"I don't think so," Hera said and looked
directed to Japan.
At a park Yuzuriha laid the blanket and placed the
picnic basket on it while Nataku and Kusanagi went to the auto machine to
buy some juice. They seem to have a happy time together.
Yuzuriha had returned to live with her grandmother
and always went on a date with Kusanagi when he has a break. Nataku is working
with Kusanagi and it satisfied to live in nature.
"See, Nataku, Yuzuriha and Kusanagi are fine,"
Hera said in support.
"O.K. But you can't say that with Subaru and Kamui,"
Zeus said.
"No. I'm sure the two are fine too," Hera
disputed and changed her eyes towards a house that was established on a Suburb
of Tokyo where Subaru and Kamui lived together.
In the living room the two seals were arguing seriously.
The man said something to the boy. Hera didn't hear those words, but she assumed
that it would cruel or cold because it made the boy's face pale and his violet
eyes fill of tears, though they didn't fall.
The head of the Seals retorted something to Subaru
before walking out of the room. So he didn't notice that his friend had the
same reaction like him too.
"Oh!" Hera sighed. "You true. I don't
understand them. Why they are doing this?" Hera whispered with mentally
fatigue.
Zeus knew that his wife cheered the pair. He patted
on her soft hand to comfort her.
"Because Kamui doesn't dare tell Subaru how he
really feels while the man always think that Kamui would find someone better,
though he loves the boy," He explained.
"But if they still keep going on like this, it
would hurt them together at the end."
"Yes. I think to summon the Gods and Goddesses
to discuss what to do with them," Zeus said.
"That's good," Hera said and smiled brightly.
She got out of his lap.
"I will called Iris to send the messages to the
Gods and Goddesses." She said and walked out the room.

Hebe was busy because the Highest of Gods had demanded
her to organize a party at the garden. She ordered the servants to prepare
foods, fruit and wines. She sighed in relief that everything set in time for
the Gods and Goddesses to come to Olympus Mountain.
The Gods and Goddesses went into the big garden one
by one and chatted joyfully until they saw Zeus walk towards them and the
meeting began.
"Thank you for coming. I summoned you to discuss
the problem of Kamui and Subaru," Zeus said and paused a little to see
the reactions from the Gods, but he didn't see anything and continued.
"Like you know, the Promised Day ended a year
and half and we are satisfied for the change of humanity and the world. However,
I feel guilty for the Seals and the Angels that had a hard battle and I want
them to happy for the rest of their life. The people who look like they have
more problems than anyone else are Kamui and Subaru. They avoided admitting
their feelings to each other. I think you all may have some idea on how to
help the pair," Zeus explained.
"If you don't mind, I wish not to get involved
because it's over my ability to do. I love to fight more than matchmaking,"
Ares said and zipped his wine.
"That's okay," Zeus said. He knew that Ares
didn't like Athena who was born for Kamui. The reason he went into the world
to become Fuuma was he wanted to fight and win Athena. And if he offered to
help, Zeus was sure that he would complicate the problems even further.
"I wondering why you don't do it yourself, Athena?
You can control Kamui." Ares asked the Goddess of Wisdom, the Arts, and
Warfare.
"It's him I was born into, but I'm not him. It
is his life to do what he wants. I can only watch him and persuaded him sometime.
I'm not like you who controls Fuuma completely." Athena retorted the
God of Wars.
"So, does anyone have any ideas?" Zeus asked,
trying to pretend he didn't hear the quarrel.
There was a long silence before a feminine voice broke
it.
"I think the problem is Subaru. If he admit his
love, the problem would clear," Hestia, the Goddess of Hearth said. She
was Karen and watched the pair enough to know their characters.
"I have an idea. We should arrange a situation,
which would force them to show their feeling," Apollo said.
"I agree with you," Hera supported the God
of Sun's idea.
"Does anyone have any other ideas?" The Captain
of Gods and Goddesses asked, but no one spoke.
"So, we will go along this idea." Zeus ended
the discussion. "Who is the first volunteer?"
"Me."
End.
