"H-hello?" Tsuna's voice stuttered and threatened to break as he whispered into the phone. The instant the words had slipped from his mouth, the brunette slapped a hand over his mouth. Mentally cursing himself for doing something so stupid, what was he thinking? Kyoya was gone, and however much he hoped and begged he wasn't going to come back. As if in agreement, the other end of the call remained silent.

"What's wrong with me?" Tsuna muttered to himself, and was about to end the call when a low, irritated voice called out to him through the other end.
"You'd better be answering my calls from now herbivore." Tsuna dropped his phone in disbelief. The black mobile hit the floor with a dull thump and rolled slightly, the illuminated screen facing upwards so that Tsuna could see that the call was indeed still going. The phone had been automatically set to speaker mode. All he could do was gape at his phone while tears continued to run down his face.

"Herbivore, did you drop your phone?" The cool voice echoed unnaturally loud around the room, tinged with slight amusement as the other imagined the stupid expression that must have been etched onto the features of his startled Tsunayoshi.

"Sawada… you can pick up the phone now." Tsuna's heart fluttered weakly against his ribcage. Thousands of emotions swirled within the brunette, and the more he thought about them, the more they threatened to overflow. Grief, relief, shock and even a hint of anger, he felt as if he was drowning in a whirlpool of sensations.

Tsuna leaned forwards a little and reached down to grasp the small mobile in his hands and spoke the first words that came to mind. "Why didn't you call me sooner?" He whispered into the empty air, not caring if they made sense or not. "Why did you have to make me wait?" Tsuna's voice started to rise as he shouted into the phone, not even caring if he was indeed speaking to a ghost. All this time, all the pain… and the first thing he asked wasn't even an 'are you ok' or a soft hello. "Why did you have to go?"

-x-

Of course, you all know who I am by now. If you don't herbivore, then you haven't been reading the story carefully, actually you wouldn't have read the story at all. But since we've met now anyways, why don't I give you a little bit of the story from my point of view? It would make quite a change wouldn't it, and if you don't want to listen? Leave, or I'll bite you to death.

My name is Hibari Kyoya and I'm dead.

The last thing I remember before I closed my eyes was: the screeching of metal, a glaring white light, the burning sensation in my chest and finally, the warm sticky feeling of blood trickling down my face as it blurred my vision. Then, when I did close my eyes, it felt as if flames had washed over my vision.

When I woke up though, everything I had felt previous had melted away. No more sounds, it was just stiff silence. No more pain, actually I couldn't quite feel anything. No more light, this aspect I noticed immediately, there was no more light, not even the slightest bit, just darkness. I growled and ran my hands through my hair, tousling the already messy raven locks. Then, being the impatient person I am, I immediately took action to uncovering where I was and to find the nearest exit out of the place. That proved pretty simple, it didn't take long before I hit a wall and when I turned, it didn't take me long to hit another. Blind and furious, I whipped out my tonfas and decided to try and fight my way out; violence normally got me what I wanted.

I swiped my tonfas at the invisible barrier in front of me. Cool metal struck the hard surface with a pang and the impact was strong enough to send me staggering backwards a couple of steps. I growled again and continued my assault; the results were identical each time. I continued even though I knew I wasn't making any difference, I wasn't the one to give up that easily. However, after what seemed like hours of no success, agitated and slightly flustered I walked around the confined area and finally plopped down on the ground. What a time to not have Hibird with me.

The next thing that I did was probably due to my lack to patience, or maybe because I was getting kind of creeped out. Yes, I was slightly creeped out; I don't usually find myself in a dark confined place in which I can't beat my way out using my loyal pair of tonfas. I stood up again and banged my fist against the wall. "Let me out you herbivores!" I shouted at nobody at particular, when I got no response I narrowed my eyes and tried again. "Let me out before I bite you to death." No answer. I slashed out with my tonfas, trying to cause as much damage as possible.

Soon, I was panting and still, no visible damage had been done to the ghostly walls around me. Then I heard a small gasp, followed by small sniffs right behind me. Whipping around I peered into the darkness behind me, and that was when I saw him. Sitting in front of me, crouched on the ground with his face buried in his knees was Sawada Tsunayoshi, my boyfriend.

I warily took a step towards him, why on earth was he doing in here? How does the herbivore have a knack of getting into any kind of trouble possible. Then I noticed that something was off with Sawada. He was transparent, clear enough so that I could see right through him but still see that he was indeed sitting here in the middle of who knows where.

I was now standing directly above my younger lover, I could hear his silent sobs as he continued to bury his face into his knees. I didn't know what to do; I wasn't exactly the comforting type.

I leaned down slightly and tried to ruffle his fluffy brown hair. Tried, was the right word because the moment my hand came in contact with my boyfriend, it passed right through him.

I recoiled instantly, sharply drawing my hand out of his head. It was the most frightening thing I had ever experience. It was as if a cold bucket of water had been poured upon my, drenching me in freezing water.

Just where was I?

Then all the memories started rushing back. How my car had been speeding down that strangely dim road. Then the screeching, the blinding lights then the intense pain. As it started to sink in, everything started to make so much more sense.

I was dead.

-x-

At first, I didn't want to accept the truth. I didn't want to be dead, there was so much left for me to do. If I had died, who would be left to protect Namimori from the cruelties of the world? Who would be left in charge of Namimori middle? Who was there to feed Hibird? Even now, I still miss that cute little ball of yellow fluff; it was as if he knew exactly the way to comfort me at all the right times. But the one thought that sent chills down my spine was of the herbivore. What would happen to my cute little Tusnayoshi if I left?

Never mind that, you'll know the truth sooner or later. But for now, back to my story…

I just sat there, cross-legged in the dark. How long has it been? Mere minutes or long hours, endless days even. I've tried everything. The walls were indestructible, I've tried everything, and there was still no light in this cruel little world. As people have always said: You can't escape death.

The only thing I could see, except my own hands, was the faint outline of the sobbing herbivore. I had also tried everything I could with him. After many futile attempts I had found out that he couldn't see me, he couldn't hear or feel me either. I also found out that I couldn't touch him, no matter how I tried to come at him, my hands always slipped through his ghostly figure. I couldn't do anything but stare as he continued to cry. It broke my heart to watch him suffer, even if I was supposed to be the cold-hearted carnivore, it was my boyfriend I was watching suffer.

Well, when I had been attempting my failed escape plans I surprisingly stumbled upon a cell phone. Even I had to admit that it was quite random, to find a cell phone, my own at that, just sitting on the ground. It probably wasn't the most sensible thing to do, but I picked up the cell phone and called someone.

I called the someone who had been sitting in front of me the whole time. I called Tsunayoshi Sawada and I the last thing I expected him to do was to pick up.

Tsuna trudged over to his bed and flopped down. This had got to be the most eventfully day in his poor poor life. He had started by listen to Gokudera explain his way through emotional therapy. Then he had gotten a call from his deceased boyfriend, talked with him and then acted as if it was all according to plan.

Tsuna cursed his life.

"Kyoya? Can I ask you something?" Tsuna lay in bed, hugging his pillow close to his small body and staring up at the ceiling. "Since you already have," a sigh was heard from his phone "then you may as well ask."

"Kyoya, what's heaven like?"

A pause. "Kyoya?" The short pause lengthened into slightly awkward silence as no answer followed. "Kyoya?" Tsuna turned on his side, brow furrowed and chocolate colored eyes glittering with worry as he stared at his phone. A little cough echoed from the black device and Tsuna let out an almost incoherent sigh of relief.

"And what, herbivore, made you think that I would be in heaven."
