So we were back in line. Trowa was mostly silent, and Relena made comments about the novel I had handed her. She said that it hadn't been that bad...
When we got to the front of the line, George wasn't there. His replacement shoved up her glasses and told us that he got promoted. So did she. Now she had to deal with the souls of the disbelieving dead.
"So..." asked Relena, "What's your name?"
"Lavender." Typical. She pushed back her hair, which was the same color as her name, and glanced at the paper in front of her. "Relena Peacecraft?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Hmm... You have a meeting right away... Triton Bloom?"
-Silence-.
"Triton Bloom?" And then, louder, "-Is there a Triton Bloom in this line?-"
And still silence.
She glanced back at the paper. "Oh..." she sounded mildly embarrassed. "Trowa Barton, then?"
"..............................."
"That would be the silent one, here, miss." I stated calmly.
Trowa nodded silently.
"Aaaaah... You also have an appointment... You will be going with Relena Peacecraft, Triton Bloom."
"Il mio nome?(1)" I have no clue what he said, but his voice sounded wondering. "Triton Bloom...?" He cleared his throat. "Uhm, Signora Lavender?"
"Nani?"
"Would Triton Bloom be of any relation to Catherine Bloom?"
The woman sighed, sounding very tired, "I'll look it up..."
-Five minutes later-
".........................."
"Saa, I found it."
"È?(2)"
"Hai."
"Come?(3)"
"She is your Oneesan."
"........................."
"Wow, Trowa," I said, with a grin, "You have family. Ain'tcha glad?"
"Sì, sono felice.(4)" He sure didn't sound glad... He sounded a little more depressed than usual, actually.
"I have no clue what you just said, but you don't sound very happy, Tro- man."
"Ah, but I am," he said, in that same sad tone.
Relena, who we had all forgotten, spoke up, "Aren't we holding up the line?"
"Huh? Eh... Oops..." Oooo.... I really wonder who said that! Not.
So... I ushered them on to their meeting -with Koenma-sama himself- and wandered off. Alone. With nothing to do. And since Heero was busy, I couldn't go bug him... Damn. /Is it bad to say "damn" if you're a god?/
*
So, the next thing I knew, I had run over Botan. Literally. I practically trampled her.
"Duo-sama, you shouldn't be running in the halls!"
Oops, my bad. I -had- been running. Actually, I had been running back and forth, trying to get rid of my "bored" energy.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm bored." And the halls became deserted. Even gods fear that phrase coming from my mouth.
"Write a letter. I did promise that I'd deliver them for you."
So, I wrote a letter. Actually, I wrote a half dozen of them. Two to Quatre, two to WuFei, one to Zechs /Even though I barely know the man.../ and one to Hilde. I still don't know whether or not she knows I'm dead.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
............................ (Oooo I wonder who's POV this is?)
This little figure... is the son of the most feared being in existence... Strange.
He was saying some thing... along the lines of having us apprenticed to some god or another. I wasn't surprised. After all, Duo had said something along the lines of us doing something important in the afterlife.
"Miss Relena, you would be best suited to be apprenticed to Peace."
"You really think so, Koenma-sama?"
"Yes, I do, and you..." He turned to me. "You are so out of it..." he paused for a moment. A long moment. No bother. I have plenty of time. It's not like I had anything important to do. And the quiet gives me time to think.
"Tranquility?" Relena suggested. She's so impatient.
"Actually," he says, looking me over, "that seems fitting, in a way."
Calma?(5) I'm flattered that they think so. I would think that I'm too on- the-go for that... I lift an eyebrow.
"Very fitting. You'll probably be disappointed with the present Tranquility though, young man." He sighed, "He's gotten a little... weird, lately." He lifted a phone from his desk. "Lav, hun? Could you send Peace and Tranquility here?"
-After about an hour, give or take ten minutes, because Trowa didn't bother to pay attention to the time...-
Peace showed up. I was shocked, but of course I didn't show it. She looked exactly like Relena, give or take a few gray hairs.
-About two hours later, give or take twenty minutes-
Tranquility showed up. He looked like a sleeze. Not a normal word for me, but... I would bet that this guy makes Duo cringe. And he walked directly up to Relena as Koenma-sama flinched.
"Hello young lady, how would you like to be treated to a good time?" Was that a proposition? I think that it was.
Koenma-sama coughed. "Eherm... Now that you're all here... Have a seat."
Peace had already sat down /Such impatient people.../, so Tranquility was the only one standing.
"Peace? I'd like to introduce you to Relena Peacecraft. She will be your new apprentice."
"New one? What happened to the old one?" Relena asked.
Peace answered, "He beat up War. So I decided that he wouldn't be suited to become Peace. He's War now."
Is she talking about Heero? That is very peculiar.
"Ahem. Tranquility, this young man here will be your apprentice."
The man (Tranquility) turned toward me with a gleam in his eyes that I definitely did -not- like.
"Since the young lady will be busy elsewhere..." I didn't wait for him to finish. I really didn't want to know what he was going to say, even though I already knew... He looked down, in shock, at the -very- dirty sock in his mouth. He spat it out. And looked at it. "Hey...! This is mine!" The lecherous gleam had left his eyes for now.
Koenma-sama stared at me. "How did you do that? I didn't even see you move!"
I blinked slowly at him. I hadn't moved that fast... I shrugged. Why bother trying to answer a question that you don't know the answer to?
**** Okay... no more deaths in this chapter...
(1)"My name?"
(2)"Is she?"
(3)"How?"
(4)"Yes, I am happy."
(5)Calm? (I'm using that for "Tranquility" in Italian *shrugs*)
Next chapter: Cameo appearance by... A guy named Tatsumi (If you don't recognize him, it's okay.). Quatre joins the others and is apprenticed by... And we find out who killed Relena *cheers on mysterious murderer*!
