CHAPTER 10

~Tsunayoshi…

He wakes to the bustling noise of a busy division. He opens his eyes to see bright white light that his eyes are not accustomed to yet. He's starting to feel a headache and a stomach pain that oddly enough is familiar. Then he remembers the reason why he's lying there looking at the ceiling with no reason. He remembers his encounter with one of his guardians that can somehow still give his shivers, even now.

A quick look around confirms that he is in the fourth division being taken care of. Soon, one of the fourth division shinigami came to him. Checking him, fussing around, even though he's clearly fine. No injury can be worse than the injuries he had sustained when he was alive. That was just impossible! Right at that moment as if on cue, as certain sadistic tutor came to mind, and that is one scary picture indeed. Which is why in the mind of one Sawada Tsunayoshi, any hollow attack is better than the wrath of a certain tutor.

The fourth division officer doesn't seem to accept his claims of being alright, and forced him into bed rest to get a sufficient amount of sleep. Oh, how much he hated being confined, but then, being confined into a bed is much better than being confined into a room full of paperwork. So, being someone that appreciates a good rest, especially after an encounter with a certain blood thirsty carnivore, he decided to listen to the fourth division officer and just sleep. Anything else can wait until every part of his body is fully functioning and himself, fully rested.

~Gokudera…

To say that Gokudera is restless would be an understatement. His head is working faster than any machine and his body just can't seem to stop moving. The best thing he could do now is only try and find as much work to do as possible, which is a lot.

What brought this on might not seem to be something worth worrying about, but as the honorary and loyal right hand man of Vongola Decimo, it is partly in his job description to worry. He worries about the Familigia, the other guardians, though he would rather blow up a whole town rather than admitting that, and of course, he worries for his boss' safety.

It seems that he had heard the fact that one Sawada Tsunayoshi aka. Vongola Decimo had been severely injured by a hollow attack. But as the ninth division's fuku-taichou, he, in fact has other duties to fulfill. So, since the time he knows about the dreaded news, he has been trying his best to keep himself busy and not barge into the fourth division with no apparent reason and scare most of the shinigamis there half to death.

~Yamamoto

By every means Yamamoto is a kind and easy going man. He'll help anybody that needs help, as long as that person is not anyone evil. He also loves to laugh, and if you don't really know him, you'll really think of him as a harmless man, but if you do know him, you'll see him as a very scary man indeed. It doesn't really help that his great-great-great-great-great grandfather is the mighty and powerful, not to mention discriminating man we all love to call the sou-taichou of the gotei 13.

Once every few days, Yamamoto will go to his ojii-chan, as he likes to call him, to drink some tea. Today is one of those days and of course the older of the yamamotos is happy to have company, and being such an easy going person, Yamamoto is quite the company. They talked a lot. The older will tell the younger about his experience, stories of when he was younger and about soul society and most of all, swordsmanship. The younger would listen intently and in exchange, tell the older a few things about the modern times.

It was a nice and beautiful day for the Yamamotos, despite all the things that are happening. It seems that the Yamamotos like to save time for family no matter how busy they are. Cause no matter what, family always comes first.

~Hibari…

The afterlife has been awfully boring for a certain carnivore. Nothing seem to be able to achieve his standards in strength and every battle he had had been completely unsatisfactory. Of course, he had patrolled around the area every single day, to find any soul who is disturbing the peace, but even a large number of hollows doesn't seem to be able to give him that satisfaction.

That day, when he saw the omnivore getting beaten up by the hollow is a disappointing day. The hollows were only a little more challenging than the usual ones and the omnivore was unable to defeat them, that is by first glance. After a little observation, he sees that the omnivore is a shinigami, who might be holding back in case the others might find out about his strength. That is something he'd like to believe since he would be seeking the omnivore for a match, and he won't be happy to learn that said omnivore is back to being a weak herbivore, and if by any chance it is true, he'll certainly bite that herbivore to death for the disappointment.

Lucky for Hibari, Tsuna is holding back his flames for the sake of keeping a low profile…

~Lambo…

His first instinct when he woke up was to run. It was a good idea at the time. He was still disoriented and he didn't know where he was and he didn't have the time to get his horns out, so, yes, running was a good idea. Unfortunately running was not much of a possibility since he was surrounded by huge skeletal monsters and said skeletal monsters were getting closer and closer. That was not good. His second instinct was to reach for his horns; luckily for him they're in reach. Even though he still had a massive headache, his survival instincts are number one in the world and when running was not an option, he would fight. Right then with his horns on their rightful place on his head he was ready to call forth some lightning.

Just as his horns were charging up, an energy blast of some sort hit one of them leaving it lying there on its face. Thankfully with that distraction, he had more time to accumulate the lightning, and thus create a more lethal attack, unfortunately with that one strike the monsters seemed to have acquired a new target and being a good man he is, he would not let the monsters hit the man who saved him. So, without further thought he let out the electricity and effectively incapacitated the monsters, only to find that the monsters had disappeared to thin air.

~Ryohei…

When he first got into the soul society or at least that's what the extreme priest said this place was, he felt an extreme amount of extreme in his veins and he loves it. Of course, his mind still wonders to worry about Kyoko, what kind of extreme big brother is he if he doesn't worry about his beautiful baby sister?

Because one is an extreme boxer called Sasagawa Ryohei, normal is definitely not in the menu. Normal as it seems is definitely NOT extreme.

It was a beautiful sight, a wonderful time, and the sun is shining brighter than it ever was. Our resident boxer was smiling from ear to ear just standing there, besides a priest that might look like his twin. For the boxer and the priest, life was extreme, and afterlife? Even more so! Though you can never forget the extremely loud voices that yell 'TO THE EXTREME' every time of the day, people grow accustomed to it. Fond smiles were given from the more easygoing of people and mean looks were inevitable from the older citizens.

~Chrome and Mukuro…

The first thing he did when he wakes up was to find his darling Chrome. And since he was so amazing, he undoubtedly found her without much trouble. He is after all that amazing. Though he is quite disappointed that the afterlife is not as interesting as he thought it would be.

The people in the afterlife are weak, and easily scared, one would think that being dead will make you braver, but no, you just have to be like you used to. Which in his mind falls into two categories…

More people to see the beauty and wonder of his illusions ( more people to scare and mentally scar for life, or in this case for an eternity )

BORING! ( nothing that will be enough entertainment… nothing that would be fun to torture…)

But, all in all it is safe to say that Mukuro is quite interested to see what this world would have in store, after all you can't judge a book by its cover.

Chrome, however, has different thoughts, being the sweet and innocent girl she is. She finds the place amazing and thinks that it is so much better than the afterlife she imagined. As an illusionist, an active imagination is something of a must have, and being the good and innocent girl she is, she thinks that being in the mafia and assisting Mukuro-sama would be a sure pass to hell, but luckily for her, the afterlife that she has to face is peaceful and nice, and not to forget that her Mukuro-sama is here with her. Though that does makes her wonder if she would meet the boss someday in this strange land…

There you have it, the Vongola Decimo and his guardians. The boss wishing to get out o the stupid bed he was confined into, a worrying and distressed right hand man, a calm and happy rain guardian, an awfully bored cloud guardian, which was never a good thing, a lightning guardian that has just escaped and ordeal, an extremely happy sun guardian, he is probably radiating by now, and a pair of mist guardians who are amused to find that the afterlife is not at all like what they imagined.

Somewhere far away though, someone's watching with a glint in his eyes…

It's not much, but that's the best I can do...

I've been experiencing a writer's block for a while...

Not only that! I've had no time to write...

so, I apologize for that...

and if any of you have any idea how you'd like the story to progress... PLEASE TELL MEEEE!
