I do not own KHR and Soul eater.
There is some Iemitsu bashing in this chapter. I might redeem him in the future but know he is an idiot.
Chapter 2
Tsunami could not keep the tears from falling from her face. It has been a week since she woke up in the hospital and was told that what she saw was not a bad dream. Her mother was really gone. After she was released from the hospital she could not help but wonder what was going to happen to her. She had only vague memories of her father and no one to watch out for her. The answer actually came from the man that was in the room when she woke up.
"We will take care of you till we can contact your relatives," said the man that she later learned was named Sid.
They brought her to her home where she broke into tears again seeing the empty kitchen and the fridge empty. The reminder of why they were outside to begin with. Mira had helped her to the room while Sid asked if she knew how to contact her father.
"No I have not seen or heard from him since I was five," she said. "I know mama," she stopped for a moment control herself, "would receive post cards phone calls from him but he never sent me anything." Sid went to the mother's room and searched for an hour till he found some contact info for one Iemitsu Sawada. He took out his phone and tried to call him throughout the week but never got an answer.
With Iemitsu at the times of the calls
Iemitsu's phone was ringing again and it was really getting on Lal Mirch's nerves. "Sawada that is the tenth time they are trying to call you I think it is important."
Iemitsu looked at the phone and said, "Don't recognize the number they can wait."
"Fine but don't blame me if it bites you in the ass," She said. "And if I hear it one more time I'm taking out my shot gun and shooting you with it."
Gulping in fear that his second in command would follow through with the threat Iemitsu shut his phone off and placed it on the edge of his desk. Later that day when he was getting frustrated with his paperwork he accidentally knocked his phone into the trash bin and wouldn't notice it was missing for two months and would fail recall the mysterious caller forgetting about them.
Back to tsunami
Tsunami was trying her hardest to not break into tears again during the wake or running away. The 'guest' that showed up mainly arrived to insult her and wished she was dead as well to save the world from her Dame-ness. Only about five people outside of Sid and Mira actually came to offer their sympathies and leave a Koden. Kyoko Sasagawa arrived with her friend Hana she mentioned her brother would have come as well but he was out of town for a boxing tournament. Another group to arrive and offer their condolences was the Baseball star Takashi and his father. They also brought over a large amount of sushi that she placed in the fridge for later. The last one really surprised her was Hibari Kyoya Namimori demon prefect. He offered his sympathies and then started to mumble about how a pathetic fake carnivore dare hunt in his territory. He also swore nothing like this would ever happen again in Namimori. No one knew it at the time but Hibari would keep that promise with in the fifty years twenty seven Kishin souls would be sent to DWMA from Namimori with the message saying that a fake carnivore was hunting in the wrong territory.
About halfway through Tsunami was trying her hardest not to run away. The insults had only gotten worse and some of Tsunami school teachers were joining in saying that it would have been nice if tsunami was killed to so they would not have to waste their time on her. Before she was about to run she heard Hibari saying, "For disturbing a time of mourning I shall bite you to death." He then took out a pair of tonfas and managed to beat them till they either left or were unconscious. Sid would deny it but he had to resist the urge to either help the kid or going to get popcorn while he watched.
The next day was the funeral which was very similar to the wake just with those who had chosen to attend staying silent this time. She was not sure if they just respected this part or the fact that Hibari was sitting behind them with his tonfas out. Sid saw the same thing and would like to believe it was respect for the dead, but he was pretty sure it was the kid.
Sid stayed with the girl the whole time and helped her during the bone collection process. He had never experienced a funeral in japan and found the whole process interesting. After the body was brought to the crematorium and the ashes are collected the family members would then collect the bones and place them in the urn starting with the legs and moving on up to the head so the dead are buried properly. After the process was done the family would wait thirty five days till the urn was brought to the family grave. To be placed with the other members of the family. They had to do a bit of research till they managed to find where Nana's parents were buried since they could not find any record of a Sawada family grave.
During that time Sid was hoping to hear back from Iemitsu. He had sent a letter to the man with his phone number and telling him what happened. He hoped to here from the man since it should not take to long for the letter to reach Italy where the address he had found pointed to.
When Iemitsu receives the letter
"I don't recognize the name or hand writing get rid of it," Iemitsu said looking at the name on the envelope.
"Are you sure the address says it's from Namimori isn't that where your wife and kid are maybe it is her school," Said Lal Mirch.
"Nah if it was something like that my lovely adorable wife would be able to take care of it and give me a call so we can talk about how lovely the other is," He said.
"If you are sure," Lal said bringing the letter to the incinerator. Her instincts were telling her that the letter was important but unlike a certain Arcobaleno, Reborn, she actually respect others privacy and is not opening others mail.
Thirty five days later
Tsunami could not help but look around as she placed her mother's urn with that of her grandparents. She had seen Sid call and send a letter to her father and even then he did not show up. After a moment to realize this she was filled with a large amount of anger. Fine if he didn't care enough to show up for the funeral then it was clear he never loved them to begin with as far as she is concerned he is dead to her and she never had a father. After they got done with the final part of the funeral Sid brought her back home to discuss somethings with her.
"I know we were hoping your father would show up or at least return my phone calls. Unfortunately their seemed to be a delay in his answer," Said Sid.
"Or he just doesn't care," Tsunami said with a hint of bitterness.
"That is a possibility," Sid said. He had started to consider that after the phone calls but didn't want to say that out loud. "Have you considered my offer?"
"I have," she said. Two weeks ago when Sid was having sever doubt about the father appearing he had offered to bring her to death city to get a new start and to try to be a Miester. After spending a month in this town Sid had no intention of leaving the girl by herself. He was afraid that without any form of support something bad would happen. She had tried going to school for the last week and Sid had seen how bad the bulling was with only those who actually looked sad at the funeral were the only ones trying to help her. This kept the bulling down to only rumors and damaging her desk in class. Unfortunately someone had overheard Sid's conversation with lord death when he mentioned that he thought Tsuna might be a witch so they would leave broom sticks and point hats by her desk and when she was in hearing range bring up the witch trials. "Do you think I could really be a miester?"
"Yes," said Sid. "I may not be the best at soul perception but I can still tell you have a strong soul and a great heart. I never lie when I talk about peoples abilities. It's just not the type of man I am."
Tsunami was quiet for a minute before she said, "Okay let's do this. How long till we can leave?"
"It will be about a week since there is some paper work that is going to have to be filed. After that we can leave to the US," Sid answered. "Why don't you start to try and figure out what you want to bring with you. What you can't fit in a suitcase we can mail there." Normally it would have taken more than a week for the paper work to be filed but the Hibari family had contacted him earlier and told him that the paper work will be done in a week. How they knew about his offer or how tsunami would answer he had no idea and not sure he wants to know.
A week later Tsunami was leaving her house. She made sure to lock all the doors and windows and throw away all the food that was inside. It would be a long time till someone stayed in that house again. Before they left Sid placed an envelope on the table with a letter talking about what happened and contact info. It would be four years before the letter was phone by a toddler size hitman that then started to develop a long list of all the different ways he was going to kill Iemitsu.
Merry late Christmas I wanted this posted yesterday but had some difficulty getting the chapter on my doc manager with it constantly telling me there was error.
Well there is chapter two of flames of the soul. I know I may turn people away from my bashing on Iemitsu but the man was an idiot for about 95% of the series and I could list his good moments on one hand:
His fight with reborn in the curse of the rainbow arc Him sacrificing the boss watch to save Nana in the curse of the rainbow arc His talk to Gokudera during the training period before the ring battles.
That's it those are the only good moments I can remember or find throughout the series both manga and anime. He didn't even show up for the inheritance ceremony. A moment that could have turned into one of the biggest moments of Tsuna's life and he didn't show up. Also if it wasn't clear Hibari will not be a guardian in this story instead he shall be the cloud of Namimori keeping it safe. I'm not sure Mukurou if he will still be the mist guardian since I'm not sure who I would choose to replace him. I did some research into Japanese funerals and hope I described some of the steps accurately. So please read and review so I know what you think.
