Summary: AU. Tsuna was accidently killed by a silver-haired boy in a fight. A black-suited shinigami with a fedora told him he has 10 days in the living world before he has to go to where all the souls gathered to go to his afterlife. So he followed his killer. Oh?

Warning: Character deaths.


Why?

Why was it me?

Why did I have to die so young?

A brown-haired boy looks down at the destroyed building now only rubbles remained. His eyes widen at the tattered body on the debris. His body.

There was so much blood. His face was blown unrecognizable and so is his torso. The sight looks so horrible, yet he was too shocked to look away. Not far from the crime scene, a silver-haired teen stands tall, behind him are men in black lying on the ground, nasty burns and wounds on them. The teen was looking in his body's direction with unreadable expression. He click his tongue, then flees the scene.

Polices appeared not long after to investigate. The boy was still there, hovering above them. Or rather, his soul is. He had just witnessed his own death. Tears streamed down from his almost transparent face when his dead body was being examined by people there.

He feels shocked, scared, sad and regretted. He was too young to die, yet here he is… dead. He still has many regrets. His wishes, his dreams haven't been fulfilled yet. He didn't want to die yet!

"Not ready to left the living world yet?"

The boy turned back to see a grown man in suit with a fedora on his head. He was also hovering on mid air like him. He smirked and plays with his curly sideburns, pulling on them softly then let them bounce back to their place.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, or Dame-Tsuna, fourteen year old, born October 14th, blood type A, Japanese, father is Sawada Itemitsu, mother is Sawada Nana. You died on September 9th, 2012. Cause of death: got caught in a gang fight and blown off by a missed dynamite."

The brunet, Tsuna, still looks at the man next to him in silent, pain visible in his eyes.

"My name is Reborn. I am a shinigami whose mission is to guide your soul to the after life after 10 days." He motions Tsuna to come with him. Tsuna still hesitated at fist, but then followed him. The shinigami leads him to a roof and sat down. Tsuna chose not to and instead stands beside him.

"So aren't you gonna do anything?" The brunet speaks. "What am I still doing here in 10 days?"

"Don't get cocky just because you think you are dead you can do whatever you want." Reborn half smirked half glared at him. "According to the Dead law, you have 10 to a month to visit your love ones and just stay here in places you like, kind of like haunting, for the time being before I guide you to where all the souls gathered. The time one can stay in the living world depends on how good they were while living or how strong was their will to live. In your case, you have two and a half month but I don't feel like following you that long. Get it?"

The brunet slowly nods. He remains silent for a minute thinking of what the shinigami said. He looks back at where he died to see his body is being collected and put in some kind of a large bag, blood still dripping down despite how much was absorbed in the dirty ground. The defeated men, some are dead, some are in critical conditions, are being transport in ambulances. Restricted bands were all over the place to prevent curious by-passers from coming close.

"Why me?" The boy sobbed. "Why did I have to die like this? I don't want to die!" He covers his face with his hands. "Why? WHY? WHY!?"

Reborn remains silent. He's used to this.

"Why…? Why do I have to die like this? Mother… Father… who are going to look after them now? W-what will happen when I'm gone?"

"Dame-Tsuna, if you are so curious, why don't you just go back to your house and check things out?" Reborn suggested.

"… I… I don't want to see them in pain… because of my death…" Tsuna clutches his chest with his hand. "I can't bear the sadness comes when looking at their pained faces. It breaks my heart. Theirs too…"

"Idiot. You can't break a heart that has stopped beating." Said Reborn. "Not to mention your heart was blown to pieces."

"…That was cruel, Reborn…"

"So? You still need to go back there right, since the fist thing you regret involves them."

Another silent moment.

"O-okay…"

And with that, the brunet boy floats on the air to a direction, Reborn the shinigami right behind him.

At least… the person with silver hair is okay…

The shinigami noticed.

End prologue.


I'm sorry for writing a new fanfic despite not done with other projects of mine! I was reading a 1827 doujinshi called And He Closed His Eyes when this idea pop up in my head and I just had to write it out before I forgot. As you can see, I killed Tsuna… *dodge objects thrown this way* But I will make a somewhat happy ending! Please just wait!

Ah, review please! ^^
