Sorry, I tried to fill out the paperwork for it,
Thank yous:
Relwarc... Sorry, but Trowa had to go first, because I'm going by number *v.v'*. Don't worry too much about Quatre... and WuFei... He'll live a fair amount longer than the others... but hella not to 90! He's not the type to live that long...
wufeilover... Oh, he'll stay that way... I think... He's got a job to do now...
Disclaimer: I tried filling out the paperwork for it, but it turned out to be a job application for taking over George's job. (George is Koenma- sama's secretary.)
Warnings: Attempted humor, OOC... all that kind of stuff... minor bad language... yadda yadda...
Oh! If anybody wonders, thoughts are in between these "//". This "( )" is me interrupting. A computer's voice will be between these, " ' ' ". A change of POV will be "*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*". Scene changes will be "*". Okay? ****
I had told Quatre, before I left, that I would send letters. After some convincing, /Not that it took much, considering that I'm her boss now,/ Botan agreed to carry mail for me, on occasion. She even said that she'd put it directly in his mailbox, if I wanted her too. /You know? I think she likes me./
Imagine my surprise, though, when she told me what my next job was. You see, Death only personally goes after those who either 1. Refuse to die, or 2. Are going to be important in the Afterlife. I was going after Relena. That is the scariest creature that I know of... and I'm supposed to bring her to the Makkai? That hella sucks... So... I went after her.
Imagine her surprise when she got assassinated. She actually believed that everyone loved her. There were about six things that annoyed me about this particular job though, 1. I had to deal with Relena, 2. I was informed late, 3. I have to deal with Relena, 4. Heero's gonna kill me, 5. I have to deal with Relena, and 6. Heero's really gonna kill me. Oh, and did I mention that I have to deal with Relena?
When she saw me, she shrieked... Sad to say, I had to hear it... everyone else was lucky, they didn't have to deal with the screeching of a dead girl. Funny thing though... she actually survived to the age of twenty. And she had kids. Two. And I sincerely hope that they don't take after her.
Of course, as I tried to drag her to the Makkai, she babbled about Heero. She also said that she had been surprised when she found out that I was dead. /Somehow she had found Heero's memorial, and saw mine next to it./ She actually said that she had been sad to find out. Something about me livening up the parties, which had been getting really boring lately. I wasn't sure whether I should feel flattered or not.
"What have you and Heero been doing with yourselves, you know, since you died?"
"Well... Heero's War... I'm Death... and Treize is..." I snickered, "Beauty."
"Trieze? Beauty? I can understand that, I suppose. Heero War and you Death... those are also fairly understandable..." she actually seems to show a little insight.
"Yeah? You might be surprised with Heero, though." Maybe I was wrong about her...
"How's that?"
"His position on war... He beat the crap out of the previous War... and in doing so took over for him..."
"Yeah?"
"He works to prevent them, now. He doesn't want more kids like us to be caught up."
"........."
"He's advocating Peace. And he's doing it well."
"Anything he does, he does well. Surely you noticed that."
"Do you know what's going to happen to me?"
"I don't know." I pulled her towards the "customs". "You'll end up doing something important though. That's all I know. Oh, and I gotta warn you... The big ones tend to trample smaller people... and there's the 'customs'..." I point at the large sign that I had seen the first time here. "Get settled in for a long wait..."
"You won't stay with me?"
"...................."
"Please? This place is......."
"Disturbing? Chaotic? Sorry, but I can't stay, you know..."
"Why not?"
"I have an appointment."
"?"
"Trowa's going to be in line not far behind you."
"What?"
"If you want, you can wait here, and I'll be back with Trowa, and we can all stand in line together. How does that sound?"
"Okay... How long?"
"Couple of hours, maybe." I dug in my pockets. After finally finding what I was looking for, I handed it to her.
"What's this?"
"A book. At least you'll have something to do."
She stared at the cover and then looked back up at me. "A romance?"
I shrugged. "I've been -really- bored lately."
"I prefer thrillers... but I don't expect you to have one. Those pockets can't be big enough to hold two books this size."
I shrugged again. "You'd be surprised... but you're right. I don't tend to carry more than one book at a time..." My watch beeped at me. "Ah, freaking hell! I'm gonna be late!!" I dashed off, not bothering to say "bye"... After all, I'd be back in a couple of hours...
*
On the scene with /glance at watch/ two minutes to spare! Now... all I have to do... is attract Trowa's attention to the assassin. Or else Quatre would die... and it isn't his time yet. Not for another few days.
Okay... Now...
I nudge Trowa's attention to the balconies. Why do assassins always hide in balconies?
He gasped softly and ran to Quatre. And... Gun shot, now.
His eyes blanked as the bullet tore through him. "Sono molto spiacente, Quatre... Spiacente...(1)" And he dropped.
I winced as Quatre started crying. And his body, to the living eye, disappeared. Trowa blinked at his surroundings.
"Shouldn't I be dead?"
"You are dead. Can't you hear Quatre crying?" That's me. Yup, Mr. Tact.
"....................."
"Quatre," I called. "Quatre!"
Quatre sniffled and blinked. "Huh?"
"He's okay. Oh... and WuFei grabbed the assassin." Sure enough, up on the balcony, WuFei was beating the living sh*t out of the assassin. "Well, Trowa, off to Never-Never Land we go. Oh... and Relena's gonna be waiting for us when we get there.
"........................"
"Yeah... There's been a sudden rise in assassinations lately. Hmmm... I wonder what you'll be doing....?"
**** Weird stuff. I know. Maz is mad at me again... I guess she likes Trowa too.
Oh yeah... The (1) up above... That was "I'm very sorry, Quatre... Sorry..." Pretty simple, ne?
This is the kind of stuff I come up with when I've been listening, non- stop, to Metallica for *looks at clock*... over five hours. Am I forgetting anything?
Next chapter... (When I get around to it...) A special cameo appearance by... me! Relena gets propositioned. So does Trowa. By the same guy. Botan delivers several letters... Duo gets very bored. *shudders convulsively*
