A/N: EDIITTTTTTTTT::::: (1/3/12)

IMPORTANTTTTTTTT

NAH. I'M SERIOUS PLEASE READ.

So, you guys remember the time I said that I was going to rewrite this? I JUST DIDDDDD WHOOOOO. Okay… so. There. I strongly advise reading the whole thing from the very start. I made modifications that MIGHT affect the story as a whole. So please.. just do J

It's better ( I think) actually. It focuses less on my OC. Which I hope makes her less mary-sue. Which I think would do good for OC haters out there.

I'm putting up this notice on every chapter just to make sure…

Tsuna woke from a nudging sensation from where he'd been lying on hard land and someone poking him on the side. "Five more minutes," he grumbled. Then, confusion hit. Why is it where he's lying is hard? Didn't he make sure to get to bed before sleeping? And didn't he get assurance from everybody that they won't bother him while he's sleeping?

This time though realization is what hit Tsuna. He doesn't even need to open his eyes to know where he was. Tsuna was once again, in limbo. So as soon as he let his eyes flicker open, Tsuna asked immediately,"Mukuro, do you happen to know why I'm dead?"

Though what Tsuna saw was far from what he had expected. Sitting beside him was instead of the ever-present Mukuro, it was... a girl who looked to be in her 20's.

Tsuna blinked a number of times before finally acknowledging the person. The girl has long light blue hair that always seemed to follow the shape of her body. She has gray eyes that has lips to compensate for it's seemingly out of place dullness… and if you would not think too much of that fact, you could honestly say she's perfect.

What bothers Tsuna though was that he seemed to have taken a liking to the girl. Not because of her physical appearance but there was something inside him that seemed to be charmed to the girl. Simply, there was just this aura about her that seemed to be a mixture of things, nostalgia, caring and something; something... mysterious. It felt like he knew her but his intuition wasn't giving recognition either. She was simply.. there. Like she is something he really wanted and was just a couple of inches away but couldn't claim it because it doesn't feel right. Maybe it was the weird robes she was wearing? Nah. He might be getting old but he's not really in favor of old style. Maybe it was the 11-inch polished stick she was carrying in one hand? Nah. Since when had he taken a liking to sticks anyway?

Wait. A stick? What was she doing with a stick? And moreover, why did someone like her bother to wake him up anyway? She could've just gone her own way so why bother? After Tsuna had settled his mind from these bothering questions, he interrogated the stranger, "Excuse me, but do I know you?" Tsuna himself knew and felt that this was a stupid question to ask when a person had just been called "Mukuro." But instead of giving him an expression wondering if she'd just wasted her valuable time to someone stupid, she smiled; or was it a smirk? What surprised him though was the sad and apologetic look she gave him after that when the girl did nothing to upset him.

"Look, if you're going to say sorry for waking me up, you don't have to. You may go on your way," Tsuna said hurriedly in effort to ease the sad face of the stranger. Apparently, this wasn't needed because after that, she smiled so brightly it brought up memories of Kyoko when Tsuna was younger. It hurt. It hurts to remember the memories he had put walls up so that he won't break. It hurts to remember that Kyoko had been screaming at him for help and he haven't done anything about it but weep. It hurts to remember that Kyoko had sta—

"If you're gonna weep all day about what's passed, you just can't deny it, you're still a loser baka-tsuna," the girl suddenly spoke up. Tsuna froze. Did the girl just call him by his tag from long ago?

"Yes I did," came the unsuspected reply. Just what the hell is going on? Was Mukuro making fun of him again? "He's not. Actually, he's rejoicing because he thought you're already are dead and is guessing what path you'd take next. The fool. He's too happy to even check if you're even still here," she said bluntly.

"Are you some kind of mind reader?" Tsuna found himself blurting. The girl looked at him. The weird thing is, her face was all screwed up, as if trying hard not to laugh. What's wrong? he thought. "Well, I always find it hard to stifle a laugh whenever someone your kind calls me a mind-reader," she stated.

"Well if you're not, how come you know what's going on in my mind and what do you mean by my kind?" Tsuna asked, interested to know more.

"Whoa! Slow down, one at time please," she chuckled seeing the eager expression that was on Tsuna's face. "First things first. I'm NOT a mind reader. Second, I don't even have to read your mind to know what you're thinking, it's written all over your face, and just so you know, people's faces are very readable here in limbo. And third, of course I'm human too—but! If you compare my blood status to yours, I'm completely different. But different as I am, your ancestor, Primo raised me when no one else would and that's why I'm drawn to the mafia. Even though Vongola kills many, I understand the purpose, they do it to protect the family.. the entire family. Young and old. Weak and strong. Fresh meat and the professionals . They save who they can save. It's very touching."

"Primo..?" Tsuna repeated in suspicion as he slowly sat up to think better, "Who are you anyway? And what's this thing about my ancestors? Is there going to be another day of re—". The girl gave him a the-fuck-you-think-what's-the-hurry look doubled with an exasperated sigh, "Nice try on having things one at a time." Tsuna had the grace to blush, "Well, you can't blame me… it isn't everyday you end up in limbo and you get faced with something new…" he said slowly earning another laugh from the other, "and oh! You still haven't answered my question"

"All in time, Tsunayoshi… you'd know later on," the girl said with an amused gleam in her eye. But before he could ask how she knew her name, Tsuna's flame spiked up in warning that someone was coming over to them. And surely there was someone.

"Oya? My dear Tsunayoshi is already having his funeral and you're still holding him up, Neonina, you should know that Promethia is getting tired too," Mukuro scolded. The girl jumped in surprise. Then when she got over it she asked, "Fine, I know I'm holding him up. One question though Mu, how many days have passed? And who showed up?"

Mukuro bristled at the pet name but answered anyway, "A week. And lots of people showed up. And I believe I don't have to enumerate them."

"Aw fuck," Neonina smiled ironically. "Well, gotta go, and Tsunayoshi, can I count on you to go back to the remains of the estate and look for a safe somewhere near where the Vongola crypt had once been? No matter how much it hurts to remember, it's my only chance to go back so… please?" Mukuro looked at Neonina with a tilt of his head. "You mean, you're going back?"

"oh no, I'm not. You see, I was just planning on hanging out and some other shit…" Neonina said sarcastically while Mukuro rolled his eyes.

Then before Mukuro could say anything, she vanished into thin air. "She must've been a special part of you huh?"Tsuna mumbled feeling a little jealous. "Oya? Is our little Tsunayoshi-kun feeling really jealous?" Mukuro smirked. Tsuna blushed furiously as it hit the mark, "Hell no. I was just.. hmm.. curious…"

"Kufufu… actually, that girl is so much more of a headache than she actually seems. First time I saw her was she almost made the lake dwellers go deaf by screaming quite loudly when they were near, and I don't think that they would be too elated to go near her despite the fact that more than a century had passed and she had all they asked for"

But as Tsuna opened his mouth to say something, Mukuro held up a hand and told him, "You need to come back now, you can make the scene less messier if you go now instead of waking up facing the earth." Tsuna's mouth formed a perfect "O" in realization then told Mukuro, "I guess, thanks Mukuro. But I forgot how to go back," Mukuro looked at him then said, "I guess it can't be helped, rest well, my love,"

That was all tsuna remembered before he opened his eyes to see Autumn leaning down on him to kiss his forehead and catch her saying "I love you, Laz don't go" repeatedly with a teary-eyed expression.

Tsuna froze, so did Autumn. Tsuna froze because he never thought Autumn really had feelings for him. Autumn froze because Tsuna had just become a zombie. She would've knocked him out with her bag if he hadn't been quick enough to yelp and jump out of his coffin. "RESPECT THE DEAD WOULD YOU?" Tsuna roared, "AND JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

Tsuna could almost hear everybody's jaws drop. That's when he looked around and saw father Robert holding up holy water and everybody's jaws hit the floor. Haru, Autumn, his children, Gigi, Danny, Leo, Marty, his guardians, Matsu and everybody else with tears in their eyes (except Hibari who only let out a "wao" of surprisement)had their jaws glued to the floor. The one who broke the ice was Ryohei who shouted, "EXTREME, LITTLE BRO! How did you do that?"

"I knew you've been lazing in limbo all this time, I've been the one who suggested your mist guardian to tell you to get your ass moving and wake up before we fucking bury you alive," Xanxus growled from the crowd.

Tsuna blinked owlishly then looked at himself, "So you really are burying me huh? Since the crypt is gone already, I mean." Tsuna said as he shivered despite himself.

"LAZ!" someone shouted from the back of the chapel, "I thought you'd never come back! You almost gave papa Paolo a heart attack!" as Gigi came marching to the front with tears running down her face. "Your mascara is running," Tsuna commented. "It's waterproof," came the expected reply. "And what do you mean by my mascara? We have unfinished business here Papa! Do you think you can get away easily—"

"Gigi," Tsuna groaned as he put a hand on his forehead, "Can we do this some other day?" but Gigi looks like she just swallowed a bottle of nitric acid and was in no mood of listening to pleases, "DON'T YOU GIGI ME! It's time you show some concern to others! Do you have any idea how many times you died already?" she screeched.

"uhhh, over 20 times not including when Reborn kept hitting me with the dying will bullet and near death experiences?" Tsuna stated cautiously seeing the rage on Gigi's face. Unfortunately, what Tsuna should have done was shut up and just listen to hours of lecturing because answering her question proved to not even help one bit. But before Gigi could say anything more, Xanxus roared with laughter and was echoed by many who had gotten over their shock.

"Well, he was named Lazarus for a reason!"

"B-but he just woke from the dead. How can you laugh like that?" Gigi stuttered with a dumb-stricken look.

"Well, that's just how hard my little bro's will to live is," answered a blond man who Gigi recognized as the Cavallone boss, Dino. "Oh, and yeah. Papa, what took you so long in limbo?"

''What happened in limbo?'' Tsuna wondered. "Oh, SHIT!" Tsuna exclaimed. "I've got to go back to the Vongola estate!"

"What the fuck do you mean? That place had been shit since—" Xanxus objected. But Tsuna had cut him off by grabbing him in the arm and saying, "I expect we'll be back by two hours, at the least," Tsuna hurriedly said.

"How about me?" Hotaru asked. "You can't fly either," was the reply of his father. At this, Hotaru looked very confused, "Papa, what do you mean, I can't fly? There's SK, right?"

"SK is big. He'll be very noticeable,"

"But how about your flame? It's big too!"

"At least my X gloves are small. SK is already big and his flame is too,"

"How about Xanxus, then—"

"His guns are not as big as SK,"

"B-but—"

"Aargh! Fine! You could come,"

"How about Chin?"

"He can't fly,"

"He can ride with me on SK,"

"No,"

"Please?"

But that was the final straw as Tsuna's temper snapped. He began stomping out the door with a very amused Xanxus following him out the door together with Tsuna's defeated daughter that was glaring at her mentally laughing husband.

"Looks like thee will be having a hard time in thy's new life once again," commented Badru with a chuckle. "Right, Poe?"

But Poe could only shake his head in wonder.
