Hello~ Hello~! New story! This is called "Changed End". I don't know how I got this in my mind, but it happened. At first is was going to be different, but after hearing some things from my sister, I changed the story a bit and got this in mind instead. Also, Tsuna is I think slightly OOC in this Chapter, but that'll probably be explained in the next Chapter why. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Chapter!
Title: Changed End
Pairing: G27
Summary: A Keeper must never change a Story's End, that was the rule among them. If it were broken then they'd be trialed and possibly sent to Vindice Prison forever. However, in-spite of this Tsuna always changes the End to how he sees fit. But, when the counsel has had enough of his rebellious actions, will he risk changing another Story's End for someone dear? Detective!First Generation
Things to Know: A Story is an important event in a person's life, and the End is the end of said event in a person's life. Also a Keeper is a being who watches over someone's Story and makes sure that their Story keeps its destined End that was foretold in their books that they carry. If a Keeper changes a human's End then they are sent to the council of 8 and are trialed to whether they are guilty or not. If guilty then the Keeper is sent to Vindice.
Chapter 1: Keeper
Step, step, step.
The sound of footsteps resonated through the hallway as a brunet walked through. The brunet had a neutral expression on his face as he looked through the corridor, trying to find something new. He's been through this place many times and has come out of it many times after all.
He continued his way towards his destination which happened to be the always familiar pair of double doors. The boy reached out to open the doors, but a voice stopped him before its doorknobs where in his reach.
"Causing trouble again, Tsunayoshi?"
Tsunayoshi sighed, "You know the usual, Reborn. I don't follow orders." He said slightly irritated and looked at the man, who was leaning against the opposite wall, "Besides, what's with that name? We don't use it besides work."
Reborn stood up from the wall, "Hm… because it's a lot better than saying Keeper 27. Same thing goes for my name."
"Reborn isn't even a name…" Tsuna mumbled to himself, "So what did you want? I have a somewhere to be." He said while gesturing towards the door.
Reborn walked towards Tsuna, "The council has had enough of your disobedience. Why not try and follow the rules that are give?"
Tsuna glanced up at Reborn, eyes showing no lies, "Because if I did that I wouldn't be able to live with myself for the things that would have happened."
Reborn gave a nod of approval before giving Tsuna a small shove towards the door, "You better hurry up and get in there. If you don't then they might add tardiness to the list of problems."
'And whose fault do you think that would be if I am?' Tsuna thought, "Okay, I'll see you later then." He said and then opened the door and walked inside.
Once inside and the door clicked close, Tsuna looked up to the 8 other people in the room seated behind desks. Each of the 8 has a Roman Numeral above their heads, from II to IX.
"The trial is now in session, we will announce the offenses." The woman with a IIX above her said "Keeper 27, you were assigned to the human Yamamoto Takeshi, correct?"
"Yes, that's right Keeper Ottavo." Tsuna answered.
"Yamamoto Takeshi's End was supposed to be that he commits suicide from the top of his school's building, but that did not happen." Ottavo asked. "As Keepers, it is forbidden for us to change a Story's End. You knew that yet you changed the End."
That was right. A Keeper couldn't change an end, but…
"Hm... Yes as Keepers we must never change the Story's End, but nothing is said about the people in the Story being able to change their End." Tsuna claimed.
"It is impossible to change an End. Even by the Characters themselves." Ottavo stated, "So 27, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Tsuna remained quiet for a moment. Its true, Yamamoto was supposed to die that day, but he couldn't let that happen. Unlike other Keepers who follow the rules to their job, Tsuna actually gets to know his target, and Yamamoto Takeshi was probably the nicest person he's met.
As usual, Keepers had to be in sight range from their character to make sure everything is as planned. To do this he had to transfer into Yamamoto's school for a short time, which was rather annoying seeing that everyone for some reason liked to pick on the 'new student'.
Yamamoto, however, was the complete opposite. Instead of picking on him, he helped Tsuna.
He gave Tsuna tips in gym, helped him whenever he was left alone to do something, and even defended him when problems arose. On the day of his End, Tsuna didn't believe he deserved such a fate.
'You did so much for me, so I will help you to repay my debt.' Tsuna had thought on that day.
He confronted Yamamoto on the roof when he was about to jump and was able to convince him that even if he wasn't able to play baseball he shouldn't give up so easily and that he held much more potential than he thought. In the end, he was able to save Yamamoto, but because of his words he changed the End Yamamoto was supposed to take and now he's dealing with the consequences.
Tsuna took a deep breath before speaking, "I think you're wrong, Ottavo. I did not change his End, the Character Yamamoto Takeshi change his End."
Ottavo narrowed her eyes, "That is impossible, Characters can not change their destined End."
Tsuna smiled slightly, "Hm… If that were true then there wouldn't be a reason for us Keepers now would there."
There was a slam on the desk.
"Cut the crap, kid! You were the one who talked him out of his End! If you hadn't done that then his End would've been like it was written in your Goddamn book." The man with a II above him shouted.
"You're right, Secondo. I did give him advice, but I didn't force it on him. No, he had the decision to either take it or not. Yamamoto Takeshi chose for his End to change, not me." Tsuna calmly explained, but Secondo didn't take it well.
"Why you-!"
"Secondo." Another man with a V above his head said, "Calm down. The boy does give a fair point in his argument. Though, he did possibly initiate the change, the human was the one to decide."
"Tch, I don't see why this kid isn't in Vindice yet. He's cause already so many Ends to change!" Secondo shouted beyond annoyed.
"I agree with Secondo. Even after hiring Keeper R to be in charge of him, he still is able to cause trouble!" A third male with a VII said.
Tsuna slightly smiled at that. Yes, Reborn was supposed to keep him in check and discipline him, but it turned to have the opposite effect. In fact, he was able to learn more ways to prove his innocence in changing End rather than maintaining them instead, but...
Tsuna's smile then morphed into a small saddened frown.
… Reborn was a complete a merciless sadist when it came to learning ways around the rules.
"That's because every trial he's been able to prove him innocent, but that stops now." Ottavo said and then turned her attention to Tsuna, "27, in your past mission there had been numerous accounts of Ends being changed. Though, you are able to prove you did not change them personally, we can not have any of the Keepers disobeying the rules."
Tsuna put his complete attention towards Ottavo's words. He didn't like the sound of where this was going...
"With that said the council has decided to give you one last chance. If the Ending of a Story is different than from what you are given then you will be sent to Vindice Prison even if you can be proven innocent. We can not have disobedience, is that understood?"
"... Yes."
"Good. Now, return to your chambers. You'll be sent the new Story that you'll be Keeping soon." She said, "The trial is over, you are now dismissed."
With the given permission, Tsuna opened the doors behind him and left.
"Yo, Giotto." A red-haired man called when he entered a blonde's office.
"Yes, what is it now, G?" The blonde asked not even glancing away from his work. He was in the middle of signing some paperwork that needed to be done for the day. If he doesn't do it, the work will triple in size in a matter of seconds, and that thought sent shivers down his back.
G waved an envelope in the air, "There's a letter for you from Sir Boreen."
Giotto's hand suddenly stopped writing when he heard that name. He looked up from his work with a confused expression, "Boreen? Are you sure, G? Boreen doesn't even send us so much as a card on holidays."
G sighed, "Exactly why I interrupted you from your work. If he sends something to us it must be important." He said and tossed the envelope from across the room, which Giotto caught.
Giotto looked at the envelope questionably before opening it. He read through the contents of the envelope and then his expression turned to excitement, "Oh, this is new."
"What's it say?"
"Seems as though we're getting a new member." Giotto answered while reading over the last of the letter, "Its not everyday when there's a new addition to our team."
G sighed irritably, "Oh great… Another idiot to deal with." He said.
Giotto chuckled at his reaction and put away the letter, "Now now, G, not everyone is annoying. He may be a nice person."
"If you say so. Anyway, when's he coming?"
"It said some time tomorrow evening, which is good because by then we can arrange a big welcome for him." Giotto answered happily.
G rolled his eyes, "Do start thinking about that now, Giotto. You still have lots of work to do and papers to look over. So don't get carried away." G warned before leaving the room.
Giotto sighed tiredly, "I know, I know..." He mumbled and continued to read the papers on his desk.
A/N: Hahaha I'm very happy with my results, and I'm probably going to kill my brain with trying to do this story,my other story Shrine Wish, and school all together. I'm happy I get a week off next week! Oh yeah, for those readying Shrine Wish I'm almost done with the last Chapter, so it should be updated soon if everything goes smoothly. Anyway, that's all I have to say so bye bye~!
