*Crossovers in ()*

Of time and space

A harmonica whistled the blues across the moonlight. A red aircraft flew to that lonely tempo. He descended the Swordfish II(Cowboy Bebop) in a melancholic landing on the roof of a building. He walked out of it and it reverted back into his boxweapon. The sleek design reflected the night with a smooth polish.

It dangled around his belt as he walked along the highway of Port Town in Namimori. The flooded ghetto of the metropolis.

What are we doing here Chuuta?

"Um... I think these are the coordinates Ninotchka gave me."

His headphones replied this time. Her polite voice answering him. "You asked for me Chuuta?" His operator greeted.

"N-No. I was talking to- Hahaha I mean yes! I wanted ask if I'm at the correct place." 'Damn it Drew.'

But Chuuta that didn't answer my question. Why are we here?

He gritted his teeth, Ninotchka was saying something but because of drew he didn't pay attention.

"-Because of the rain."

He cringed at her last words. 'What? I have no idea what she talking about.'

Until he heard many thunders, booming. Lighting cracking on the lightning rods of roofs. "Nevermind, it's the right place."

"Good, you have confirmed it. I was also saying, it will be more difficult to apprehend him because of the rain."

'Oh, that's what she ment. The rain is picking up.' He walked on a makeshift bridge crawling over a window of a submerged building. He ran his varia gloves through his damp raven hair.

He was in the signature assassin suit, for he led them. Unlike the former leader, Xanxus, Chuuta wore his fit and poper, buttoned up, accordingly. An example to follow.

His first assignment as leader. He sighed. The toughest ever handed down to him.

Chuuta! Someone is on the roof! Is that why we're here. Is Chuuta gonna do that again?

Chuuta muted his headphones. "Yea, Lady Vongola personally requested it." He walked up some crumbling stairs, his hands in his pockets, mumbling with the other voice in his head. He nonchalantly glanced at the skipping ruble caused by the shaking thunder.

Chuuta ever since you joined the Vongola your self-confidence has been growing, your not standing infront of yourself anymore. You became a leader!

Chuuta paused before he would open the roof door. He glanced down at one of his palms, pulling it out of his pocket. He made a fist and released it. "You noticed all that drew?"

Drew mentally nodded. Chuuta gulped. It was time to assassinate his target. He ignited the black jeweled skyring that Ruby passed down to him. He sparked the lightning Vongola ring in his left hand. A skyflame appeared on his forehead, but his eyes were emerald glimmering with electricity.

The leader of Varia and Lightning Guardian for the Tenth generation


Squish, squash. Chuuta's boots splashed on puddles to the pelting rain. "He has been hiding out here as a bum, ever since the end of sin."

Chuuta stopped in the center of the skyscraper roof. The four corners had lighting rods. Fences on all four sides, an AC ventilation system and fans off to the sides. "Anything drew?"

Ninotchika was right! The rain is masking his presence Chuuta!

"Ah, he wouldn't been able to stay on the run for so long if he wasn't this good."

Crackle.

"A-ah." He leapt to the side.

Boom. A thundering flame appeared in the middle.

"That was close." Chuuta had his arms crossed over his face, blocking the smoke.

"You, who wears my former outfit, state your business." He stood on a fence opposite him. He was in a ragged oversized coat, a beanie, and bagging pants. An umbrella in each hand. With four more floating in the sky around the roof.

"Leviathan-san..." The smoke began to clear. "I have been ordered to take you down, and the ones remaining from your generation."

Levi frowned. "I see. Prepare yourself, young Chuuta!" He dived off the fence, aiming to stab with his lightning umbrella.

Chuuta's left hand ignited with a lightning arua. He took one powerful step forward and caught his weapon in a stalemate.

The weather around them became unstable to the lightning flames conducting around their clash. "You should know, the more thunder, the more powerful my attacks!" Levi jumped back and threw his two umbrellas in the air. He aimed all six of the floating ones at him.

"Drew!"

Sympathy!

The massive energy conducted from the lightning umbrellas unleashed in the center. Chuuta bent, with a leaping stance as the attack came.

A yellow thread fellow out Chuuta's heart and enveloped the air above him. It absorbed and whipped away the blast.

"Nani!"

"He's wide open!" Chuuta pushed up his knees and jumped to him.

Levi was descending as Chuuta arrowed towards him. Chuuta used his lightning hand and thrusted it into Levi's chest, unleashing all the flames.

Leviathan held intense eyes. "Don't forget who trained you in brutal combat!" Levi decked him the gut with his broad knuckles. It broke his own attack as he tried to catch his breath. Another fist, across the jaw rocked Chuuta.

Levi grabbed his neck and slammed him back down to the roof as they fell.

Chuuta's eyes were shadowed and his jaw hung loose. Levi grabbed him by the skull and lifted him with one hand.

"For you to allie with his family and attempt to hunt us down. You failed Xanxus-sama."

Chuuta's left eye peirced through a gap of Levi's grip. It's green lightning resolve angered him.

He rose the limb body high. An umbrella flew to his free hand.

"I have no mercy for your decision Kokonose!" He aimed at his heart with a ruthless stab. Both of Chuuta's eyes sparked. His whole body conducted a lightning arua. It twitched Levi's grip and freed Chuuta.

Sympathy!

He did a vertical corkscrew. He twisted horizontally dodging the lightning umbrella. The same golden thread shot out of his heart.

In an instant, it weaved around Levi's neck. The tension built up as Chuuta spun to a landing. He clawed at his neck, gasping for air.

Chuuta landed in a viper split. He grabbed his Sph string and yanked it down harshly.

The pelting rain beat down on the two assassin's. The lightning finally drowned out into the shadows. Only the heavy splashing drops of guilt hitting him.

The struggling stopped at the snap of his neck and airways. He dropped to his knees in front of Chuuta as he rose.

Chuuta swayed to the fence. His legs were drunk with nausea. He wobbled holding the fence. His resolve broke his posture. He slumped to his knees. The rain covering his weak eyes. The skyflame on his forehead evaporated, distraught.

His breath was shaky, but he manged to pull his wallet out of his jacket. He hesitated with unwanted nostalgia. He opened the leather plain wallet Xanxus had actually given him.

"Scum, atleast have pocket change!" He threw it at a young Chuuta's head and knocked him out.

He wiped his sniffling nose and opened it. He pulled out a photo when he was training with them. His old family.

He pulled out a red marker of death and crossed out Levi.

In the photo, they were all outside of their Hq, standing at the front garden entrance. Levi was actually smiling in that picture, they all were. It was Chuuta's first completed assassination. He was the center focus. Xanxus didn't smile, put he didn't frown either. He had his hand over Chuuta's hair in the only loving jester he ever showed on camera.

Nobody saw the few tears that slipped on to the old photo.

He clicked on his headphones. "Ninotchika, Levi, former member of Varia, has been eliminated. I'm heading to the safe house in Namimori to rendezvous with you."

"Yes, sir! I'll began preparing the report for Lady Vongola." She already heard the Swordfish II taking of in the night sky.

It flew past the gloomy rain clouds once again, and was guided by the moon.


The Swordfish II blasted past the school, headed for Mimi's bakery.

It docked on the roof.

He left it stationary with the wings folded up. Chuuta yawned as he walked towards the fire escape.

You tired Chuuta? You haven't slept since we came to Namimori. Unless it's in the Swordfish, but only for a few hours. Why Chuuta?

He cringed with a lewd blush. "I don't want Ninotchka waking me up and seeing my morning wood like last time." He mumbled nonchalantly. He face palmed. He recalled waking up to her blush as she tried to avert her gaze and explain the duties of the day.

He entered the small home above the muffin store. Varia's safe house in Namimori.

"Well aren't you a little pervert. You should just disappear without a trace." A rude voice politely asked. The second he walked down the fire escape and through a window.

She was casually sipping tea with Ninotchka and Fuu.(Samurai Champloo) They all heard his embarrassment of a mumble.

She was sitting on a leather chair properly, but was giving him an unwelcomed glare. The moon hairclip she wore cancelled out her glare out of cuteness. She didn't care for the Varia much.

He gritted his teeth. 'Doesn't she realize this is my safe house.' Him and Sonokata didn't see eye to eye often, but worked together, and he hated how well they did. She was the leader of CEDEF.

The three balances of the Vongola. The guardians, Varia, and CEDEF. Having these three factions work individually, yet stand together, created the structure of the family.

He did not like it.

He preferred to work alone. Only with the small amount of members he trusted.

She was not on that list.

He took off his combat jacket, draping it on the leather head of the chair she sat upon . A white vest and black dress shirt under. Maintaining a Mafia flare. He stretched. She was slightly miffed at his uncaring attitude. "Ninotchka, have you confirmed the kill with Dokuro-san."

Sonokata narrowed her eyes at that name. She let it go and sipped on her tea. "Pardon, but who did you kill this time, Kokonose?"

Chuuta ignored her patronising tone. "Why are you here? If I recall, we have no business together Sonokata."

She placed her tea and plate down. "Unfortunately, we do." She glared at herself. To have to ask the leader of Varia for assistance. "Please investigate these coordinates." She transferred the information from her purple watch over to his golden starshined one.

He clicked on his watch's screen. The coordinates outside of earth. "Space? So many targets? Even all the way to Pluto?"

"A few spaceships to be precise."

Chuuta! It sounds fun! Let's go, let's go!

"Be quiet for a sec." Chuuta scolded Drew, trying to understand her request.

Sonokata paused at the rude words. She stood, marching up to him. "I'm only asking cause you pilot the Swordfish. It's the fastest way." If he didn't, she wouldn't of bothered to ask the leader of Varia.

Xanxus's successor.

Chuuta inwardly beat himself up. 'I didn't direct them at you. Why can't Dolugh hear me mentally?!' "I-I didn't mean-"

"Will you take me? Yes or no?" Sonokata glared up at him with lunar purple orbs. Her intense gaze making him mentally squirm.

'Because of Dolugh, I've never been good socially. He always interrupts their words unintentionally. Damn! Sonokata has a really nasty personality and I can barely stand it.'

Her luna orbs squirmed.

"Yes Sonokata, if it's for the Vongola."

Her determined eyes sighed in relief. He never saw the leader of CEDEF act joyful. It wasn't bad.

He nodded. "Not now though. I have business in Namimori."

Sonokata begrudgingly agreed. "Then I will stay here, till you are ready to depart." She sat back down and began to sip on her tea. "I have already unpacked in the spare room."

He squinted. 'She's walking over the Varia with out a care. We're fucking killers.'

"We helped!" Fuu added. Ninotchka gave a warm giggle and a radiant smile.

'They helped?' He was in disbelief.

"Huuh?" Fuu asked. "What's with the look Chuuta, this is still my store."

"My Aunty gave it to the both of us."

She nodded turning her head to the side and crossing her arms. "Yea." Her superior voice cutely coming out. She began to shake her index finger. "But I agreed to your mafia hide out."

Before he could argue with her, Ninotchka interrupted. To answer his initial question. "Chuuta, Lady Vongola wants to meet with you personally. I agreed, and will let her know when we are in route."

He sighed, ignoring the dispute for his old friend, Chrome. "You're a life savior Ninotchka. Let's head to her immediately. Decimo's wife is not one I like to keep waiting."

Misuzu sipped her tea.

Ninotchka stood from the couch holding a brown leather bag. Both her and Chuuta walked out of the small up stairs home.

Fuu sighed recalling the day Mimi-san gave up the store.

That brutal shoot out.

"She knew he wasn't going to come back. She was crying and inconsolable. I glanced at him once, but didn't know him at all. You did, didn't you Misuzu?"


Chuuta was walking down the stairs to the bakery with Ninotchka.

Chuuta, why do you call Chrome such weird names now? Before you guys were really close.

"We still are, but her title deserves respect." He mumbled back. Ninotchka was talking to him. He didn't realize he ignored her.

"Talking to yourself again?" She smiled. Her eyes glittering with warmth.

He squinted with cringed realization. "S-Sorry, you were saying, Ninotchka?"

"Yes," As they entered the bakery. "Sonokata's venture towards space could also help Lady Vongola. She urged to meet with you after communicating with Sonokata."

Chuuta's emerald eyes thought until Mimi Kokonose surprised him. "Chuuta!" Hugging the life out of him. "I've missed you so much!"

Ninotchka giggled next to the counter. A cute sight, to see the leader of an assassin syndicate in loving arms.

"Mimi, what are you doing here?"

"Is that really how you treat me, Chuuta?" She twiddled her fingers, sadly.

Chuuta is feeling guilty!

"Fuu and me have been taking good care of the store since you gave it to us."

"You think I would visit only for that? You're dense, like your father." She gasped after spilling that out.

"Chuuta, I didn't mean?"

"I know. It's fine, really."

Ninotchka glanced at Mimi for an asnwer. She only sighed and ignored her question. Ninotchka realized it was a touchy subject. She bowed as Chuuta made the bell ring, exiting. "Thank you for all the help." And followed him.


Nagi, Lady Vongola, was sitting on a bench. Her and Gokudera-kun were on the tallest skyscraper in the city of Namimori. It had a garden that she took care of surrounding the peaceful area. They gazed at the passing clouds. She made this building her HQ for Vongola. The mansion was still in Italy, but mostly for appearances or events.

"Lady-Tenth, Ninotchka has confirmed, they are already in the elevator." Gokudera, her right hand informed.

She nodded. "Thank you."

His eyes remained hard. If this was the Tenth's wife then he would be as loyal as he was to him.

"Our conversation will be quite personal. Please don't inform anyone else of the words we share." She asked, as a friend. She was scared that his guardians would cast her out, but they didn't, they cared for her.

She had a family... What she would give to have him apart of it.

Tsunayoshi wasn't with her. That was the missing piece in her. The missing piece that would complete her puzzle. Her life.

The elevator rang.

Gokudera faced away from a constant view of her missing remembrance of him. She knew the Tenth better and far longer than anyone could imagine.


Chuuta and Ninotchka were in the elevator headed up the building towards the roof.

"Chuuta, may I ask?"

He sighed already knowing her concern.

"Yea if you want to." He glanced at a wall away from her caring eyes.

"Nevermind. I don't need to know." She smiled with a titled giggle. Chuuta was Chuuta.

Ding the elevator opened. Chuuta held back a casual grin. It was his bestfriend after all. Chrome! He coughed. He was the leader of Varia, for barely a week. He has to be professional.

Gokudera the storm guardian did not glare at them. Chrome was next him, her hands clasped proper.

Ninotchka and Chuuta walked to them. They took a seat on the opposite bench. A table for picnics never occurring, in between them.

"Hello Chuuta, it's been far too long, don't you think?" Chrome asked a treasured family member. "As well as you, Ninotchka. How has Kokonose treated you in the Varia?"

Gokudera was amazed at her ability to hide how she truly felt. He was amazed, because he had seen her do this for so long now. He felt, that at any moment, the Tenth's looking glass would break. Yet she remained transparent and intact.

"L-Lady Vongola, why would you assume otherwise?" Ninotchka was blushing.

'She's thinking of when she walked in on me with a hard on!' Chuuta cringed. 'It wasn't my fault!'

But Chuuta, you were dreaming about her!

"What? Now, you hear my thoughts." Chuuta's lips absentmindedly finished a sentence from his mental conversation.

"Still talking to yourself I see. Do you need to rest your head?" Chrome sincerely asked.

He blushed. 'If Ninotchka saw me rest my head on her lap, she would get the wrong idea.' He scratched his cheek. "It's fine. Ninotchka keeps me on track most of the time."

Ninotchka fidgeted at his compliment. Chrome could see the obvious infatuation she had with Chuuta. "How good to hear. Now, I believe you will be accompanying Sonokata on a voyage through the solar system."

He internally glared. 'Everyone already agreed to it with out my consent.'

Gokudera gave Kokonose a look of pity. Ever since the Varia betrayed the Vongola they have been on shaky terms. Sonokata had her reasons. So did other high list members, like Hana and Reborn.

Chuuta sighed hiding a smile. 'At least I get to pilot the Swordfish II more!' "Yes, it will take some planning before we depart."

Chrome pulled out a folder from her work bag. "What do you think, Chuuta?"

He grinned at her. He didn't even bother to look at it. He slid the files to Ninotchka.

She quickly scanned them taking notes for him. "Before we leave we should aquire a ship for the long journey. Chuuta, the Swordfish II is pretty amazing, but it's powered by your flame output, and I don't know how we will all fit."

Chrome nodded to Ninotchka words. "I believe Sonokata already has that covered. No need to worry." She glanced at Gokudera. Her eye signaling that she would begin speaking of private matters. He nodded. He removed and turned off a bluetooth bud in his ear. He ordered Ninotchka and Chuuta to do the same.

Chrome faced Chuuta, who was in front of him. Chuuta and Ninotchka felt the shift in theme. Chrome had both her hands out foward, her palms open.

"Space." An illusion of the universe elegantly swirled over her palm. She nodded to her other hand.

"And time." A pocket watch, with the minute hand moving faster than the hour hand, ticked away at an unrealistic rythem.

Chuuta, Ninotchka, and Gokudera were awed by her ability to easily display such complex visuals without her flame.

'Truly worthy to be the Tenth's wife,' Gokudera thought to himself.

"These two truths are often manipulated by our senses. Yet it is because of these two fundamental laws that our lives can carry weight and purpose in the abyss. Without space giving us an external existence, time would not give us the ability to find meaning."

She stared directly into his emerald timeless orbs. She fused both her hands and the illusion merged into a time induced universe revolving at a minute pace.

"What are you trying to say Chrome." Chuuta's words confused by her riddle.

"Your existence itself was created outside of these laws. No time for birth, and matter created from nothing, two impossibilities. You have no reason to be, Chuuta Kokonose..."

Ninotchka grew orbs at her declaration. "L-Lady Vongola, that's a little harsh, ne? Kokonose has been working really hard. To say he wasn't meant to exist..." is just cruel. She couldn't finish her sentence because of the storm guardian's warning glare.

Chrome acknowledge her words yet remained silent. Chuuta gulped. His eyes wide.

"D-Does th-that... Chrome! Does that mean you found something!" Chuuta shot to his feet. His hands slammed on the table excited.

'Can I finally find the truth of Dolugh and how I came to be?!'


So what you guys think? I know it's just the two chapters of Welcome to the future with only Chuuta's scenes and one more added, but I'm going to remove those scenes in the khr story soon. So yeah I hope you guys fav follow or leave a review. Mostly because this is such a small fandom, that any support or knowing you're reading will greatly help, review or P.M. you guys don't know how much they motivate me, knowing someone is reading and taking something from it is an emotion I can't explain, so please take care of me and I will do my best for this considerably small fandom! I will write the best khrXeldlive story I can!

Um I'm glad I'm finally really writing this. I've been itching to write a khrXeldlive story. Sad that not many others are.

Most of you might know already that this is a sequel, but its more of its own story! And the great thing about this being such a small fandom is that I can write this story as I see fit. Trust me it's gonna get sexual and bloody. M rating will be stamped on soon. Oh the great thing about this story is that it will be the only one that will intertwine with the Silver Lion, Welcome to the future, and Welcome to Namimori Academia! This story is gonna be grand but idk how it will be received considering it has crossover elements already. The Swordfish II from Cowboy Bebop is very significant to the story and I hope that's not a turn down. Eldlive and Cowboy Bebop fit well together. Oh and most of the planets they go to will have a mix of eldlive and bebop. Idk how many crossover characters will be here. But Fuu is obviously a given. Um sorry for the ramble, just info I feel you should know. Till next time!
