Authors note: I have kept this pretty true to Hamlet. Only changing minor details to make it fit better in the khr universe, that being said, some things said will be out of character, I did my best to match characters as close as I could to the khr characters. I thought it would be interesting to see Hamlet from a khr point of view. I hope it turns out interesting or amusing. Suggestions are appreciated! Thankyou for reading!

Act 1, Scene 1

Lussuria was on his way to switch with the current guard, to start his shift guarding the Vongola estate, when he saw someone, a tall man with spiked, slicked back hair and dark circles under his eyes.

"Who are you?" Lussuria asked.

"No, who are you! Stop and identify yourself!" He snapped back harshly.

"Long live the 11th!" Lussuria proclaimed.

"Lussuria?" He asked.

"Yes it's me." Lussuria confirmed, with a smile and a hand on his hip.

"You're come right on time." Said Lancia, calming at the familiar sight.

"It's midnight, go to bed Lancia." Lussuria ordered, his motherly instinct kicking in.

"Thanks for letting me go, it's bitterly cold outside and I'm feeling depressed." Lancia admitted.

"Has it been a quiet night?" Lussuria asked.

"I haven't even heard a mouse squeak," answered Lancia, leaning against a stone wall tiredly.

"Well, good night. If you happen to see Takeshi and Squalo, who are supposed to stand guard with me tonight, tell them to hurry up." Lussuria added.

Suddenly they both heard the sound of running footsteps on stone and looked up, eyes piercing the darkness to try and make out who was coming.

"I think I hear them. Stop! Who's there?" Lancia called.

"Friends of the Vongola," said Takeshi stepping into the light with squalo.

"Who work for the 11th," Added Squalo.

"Goodnight to both of you," Lancia said, sighing his relief, that it was allies and they weren't under attack.

"VOIIIIIIII, who's taking over watch for you?" Squalo demanded suddenly.

"Lussuria's taken my place, good night." And Lancia left the stone wall, with a small smile and a shake of his head.

Squalo walked up to Lussuria.

"Hello Lusseria," Squalo said.

"Hello Squalo, is Takeshi here with you too?" Lussuria asked.

"More or less." Takeshi said, smiling warmly.

"Welcome Squalo! Welcome Takeshi!" Lussuria spouted excitedly, throwing his hands in the air.

Squalo suddenly leaned in, eyes narrowed.

"So, tell us, did you see that thing again tonight?" Said squalo, surprisingly quietly.

Lussuria shook his head. "I haven't seen anything."

"Takeshi says we're imagining it, and won't let himself believe anything about this horrible thing we've seen twice now. That's why I demanded he come on our shift tonight, so if the ghost appears, he can see it too and speak to it." Squalo said, an evil glimmer in his eyes.

"Nothing's going to appear." Takeshi said, with a good laugh.

"Sit down, and we'll tell you again the story you don't want to believe, about what we've seen, two nights now." Lussuria insisted.

"Well, let's sit down and listen to Lussuria tell us." Said Takeshi good naturedly, sitting down with squalo on the chairs set up on the wall for the guards to rest on.

"Last night, around the time is now, about one a clock in the morning, Squalo and I-"

Lussuria was cut off mid sentence when a bright glow came from behind him, they all stared at what was the undeniable sight of Tsuna, drenched with dying will flames, with dark angry eyes, floating infront of them.

"VOI! Shut up, it's come again." Squalo snapped.

"It looks just like our dead boss." Lussuria whimpered.

Squalo turned to Takeshi quickly, "You're well spoken, you talk to it!" he snapped.

"Doesn't he look like the dead boss Takeshi?" Lussuria whimpered.

"Very much so, it's terrifying." Said Takeshi, wide eyed and frightened.

"It wants us to speak to it." Whimpered Lussuria.

"Ask it something, Takeshi!" Squalo hissed.

"What are you? Walking out here so late at night, looking like the dead boss with those dark eyes and covered in dying will flames like when he was in battles, by God I order you to speak!" Takeshi demanded.

Tsuna narrowed his eyes, and turned and floated away.

"It looks like you offended it," said squalo, visibly shaken.

"Look, it's going away," Lussuria added.

"Stay! Speak! Speak! I order you to speak!" Takeshi called after him desperately, but the ghost simply evaporated in the air.

"It's gone, it won't answer now." Squalo murmured annoyed.

"What's going on Takeshi? You're pale and trembling. You agree now that we're not imagining this, don't you? What do you think about it?" Lussuria asked, wringing his hands.

"I swear to God that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Takeshi said, wide eyed and shaking.

"Doesn't it look like the old boss?" Squalo asked.

"Yes, as much as you look like yourself. He was wearing the same outfit he wore when he fought Byakuran. And he frowned just like he did when he attacked him, it was weird." Takeshi explained.

"It happened like this twice before, always at this exact time. He stalks past us at our post like a warrior." Squalo said.

"I don't know exactly how to explain this, but I think this means bad news for the Vongola." Takeshi said worriedly.

"Alright, let's sit down and talk about a few of my questions. Why this strict schedule of guards around the base? Why are so many weapons being manufactured, and being bought from all over the world? Why are the ship builders so busy, they don't take a break any day of the week? Is something about to happen that needs this working night and day? Can either of you explain this to me?" Squalo asked.

"I can, or at least, I can explain the rumors. As you know, our former boss, who we saw just now as a ghost, was the rival of Byakuran, the boss of the Millefiore. Byakuran challenged him to a battle. In that battle, our courageous Tsuna killed Byakuran, who - on the basis of a valid legal document - surrendered all his property, along with his life, to the conqueror. If Tsuna had lost, he would have had to do the same. But now Byakuran's loyal commander Shoichi irie, is bold but unproven, has gathered a bunch of lawless thugs. For some food, they're eager to take on the tough battle of securing the lands that Byakuran had lost. As far as I understand, that's why we're posted here tonight and why there's such a commotion in the Vongola lately." Takeshi explained.

"I think that's exactly right. That explains why the ghost of the last boss would haunt us now, because he caused these wars." Lussuria added.

"The ghost is definetly something to worry about. In the high and mighty roman empire, just before Julius Caesar was assassinated, corpses rose out of their graves and ran through the streets of rome speaking gibberish. There were shooting stars, and blood in the morning dew, and threatening signs on the face of the sun. The moon, which controls the tides of the seas, was so eclipsed it almost went completely out. And we've had similar omens of terrible things to come, as if heaven and earth have joined together to warn us of terrible things that were about to happen." Takeshi said somberly.

Suddenly with a bright flash Tsuna appeared before them again, with dark eyes and dying will flames.

"Wait, look! It has come again! I'll meet it if it's the last thing I do - stay here, you hallucination!" Takeshi shouted.

Tsuna spread his arms.

"If you have a voice or can make sounds, speak to me!" Takeshi pleaded. "If there's any good deed I can do that will bring you peace and honor, speak to me. If you have some secret knowledge of the Vongola's sad fate - which might be avoided if we knew about it - then, please, speak! Or if you've got some buried treasure somewhere, which they say makes ghosts restless, then tell us about it. Stay and speak!"

They were startled by the shrill sound of a rooster calling, that pierced the air.

"Keep it from leaving Squalo!" Takeshi pleaded. Squalo glanced at him, notcing he was unarmed.

"Should I strike him with my sword?" Squalo asked.

"Yes, if it doesn't stay still!" Takeshi insisted.

"It's over here!" called lussuria.

"There it is!" shouted takeshi, pointing to their left, they all began to attack the wispy form of tsuna which soon evaporated away.

"It's gone, we were wrong to threaten it with violence, since it looked so much like the last boss. Besides, we can't hurt it anymore then we can hurt the air. Our attack was stupid, futile and wicked." Said squalo irritatedly.

"It was about to say something when the rooster crowed." Lussuria added.

"And then it acted startled, like a guilty person caught by the law. I've heard the Rooster awakens the God of day with it's trumpet like crowing, and makes all wandering ghosts, wherever they are, hurry back to their hiding places. We just saw proof of that." Takeshi said.

"Yes, it faded away when the rooster crowed. Some people say that just before Christmas the rooster crows all night long, so that no ghost dares go wandering, and the night is safe. The planets have no sway over us, the faeries spells don't work, and witches can't bewitch us, that's how holy that night is." Squalo said.

"Yes, I've heard the same thing and sort of believe it. But look, morning is breaking, turning the sky red. Let's interrupt our watch and go tell Gokudera what we saw tonight. I'm sure this ghost that is so silent with us will speak to him. Don't you agree we owe it to him to tell him, out of duty and love?" Asked Takeshi.

"Let's do it, I know where we'll find him this morning." Said Squalo.
