Entry #35

It's been 13 days since I've been here X( This is the longest I've been in a place after being 'poof' somewhere, excluding my own home.

So I learned a few things while being here. The stranger who I first met is named Byakuran and he wants to take over the world! :D Sounds fun! XD

The first day I was here, they (as in those two girls that look alike) made me change into a white uniform, the same as theirs. Well, I only had one pair of clothes and a day without a shower sounds really horrible. And Byakuran told me to stick with him. When I protested, he said that I could wander off and be lost in the maze, so I followed him.

The second day I found out that he likes marshmallows. There was always a bag of those sugary white things with him, either on the table or in his hand. I'm surprised he doesn't have any cavities yet! XD If he did, then he must have a really brilliant dentist because his teeth are so nice! :3 If only Kyo- chan would smile, I could see his pearly white teeth! :D

The third day, I found out that the sweet scent I inhaled when I poof here was the marshmallows. Well, eating those little white devils was tiring…if only I had chocolate and graham crackers, I could make s'mores and share them with Kyo- chan! :D

Well, the fourth day came and went just like that. Byakuran was really kind in taking me out to the many places in Japan, most in which I should already know. The buildings look the same but…they changed. Am I losing my memory or what? It looks like ten years pasted since the buildings aged so much :P But I didn't see Kyo- chan around. Isn't he supposed to be patrolling the streets? :3

Starting from fifth day til now, I didn't have much to do. Heck, it was a bit boring since Byakuran didn't do much every day now. I told the girls that I wanted to wear my school uniform at least once but they didn't allow me and hid them somewhere. D: I wanted to wear my uniform! It reminds of Kyo- chan…

Well, you must be wondering how I'm writing this since I left Entry #1 Journal at Kyo- chan's nice and fancy house. Well, I asked Byakuran and he gave me a blank notebook that looked exactly like my old one! :D So that solved that mystery of where I'm writing this! A new place, a clean new slate! :D

So I was lounging on Byakuran's couch and he wasn't there. I couldn't find a comfortable position to sit in so in frustration, I turned to Byakuran's computer! :D He must have some games on there!

I turned it back on and there were already a bunch of files open. Well, I can't help but be curious and read a bit of it.

Wait, what's this? Vongola? Ten- year bazooka? Future and past? Rings and boxes…big white machine…Mukuro? Where have I heard that name before…All well! Don't want to get too nosey here! :D

I saved the files and proceeded to 'Skype' Irie! :D I found out that if you tease him even for a bit, his stomach starts hurting and he's on the floor in pain :D I 3 teasing him XD

"Hey Irie! Whatcha doing!"

"AHH!" The poor male fell off the comfort of his bed and onto the mess beneath it.

"[Name]! What did I tell you! I'm pretty busy around this time! Oh no, I have a meeting to attend to!"

I tilted my head slowly and knowingly blinked at the background. The glasses chap nervously frowned and turned the screen away from the mess.

"Heh, are you sure Irie? Because you don't look that busy!"

"Umm, [Name], just wait in my room until the meeting is done then! I'll hang out with you after, but I just have to attend this meeting!" He frantically exclaimed as he put on his white uniform. "I'm sure Byakuran could accept you as an excuse for a break…" he mumbled the last part; I think I saw his cheeks dusted with pink.

"Buuutttt…you can't take a break if we're so far away. Do you want me to come over there right now Irie?" I exclaimed.

"No, no, no, there's the meeting and we don't need you to be getting lost here AGAIN, and plus, I'm in JAPAN-" but I guess I had already left him without hearing the last part (or maybe I just ignored him and ran off :3).

"La la la la~!" I sang while skipping down an unknown hallway. Well, I think I know where I'm going but… :P

So I was skipping down there until I heard voices in the big conference room.

"I find that hard to believe right now."

"But, according to the report from the Aphelandra Squad, there is a high credibility…"

"In the first place, I wouldn't call this a meeting of all 17 squad captains if this was a joke, right?"

"But…"

"It's just…"

"This sounds completely outrageous…"

"The Vongola family of the past…"

"Well, it's possible because of Shou-chan's hard work. He spent an enormous amount of time researching the 10-Year Bazooka." Oh lookie, there's Irie! He did make it to his meeting after all

"!"

"10-Year Bazooka!"

"You mean the 10-Year Bazooka that's handed down in the reclusive Bovino Family!"

"Impossible! That's absolutely a fictional weapon—the talk of legends!"

"If that's the case, do you think that the Vongola Dying Will bullets are also a legend? Or these boxes. Until recently, weren't they also nothing but fantasy and fairy tales?" Hey lookie, even Byakuran is here! :D

"!"

"But, if we accept that as the truth for now, there is another point I find difficult to comprehend. Why then, boss, was a problem of such importance shared only with one of the squads, specifically one of the white spell squads, I wonder?"

"Isn't that obvious looking at the current situation? If I'd talked about something like time travel, would you all believe me? I simply thought that I would tell everyone only when I was able to prove it was an establish fact. I really did, Uni." Aww, is that the famous Uni I keep hearing about? :3 She looks depress

"There's still much we don't understand. Why is such technology in the hands of the Vongola…? And, they just happen to be the ones we're hunting down…" VongolaVongolawhere have I heard that from?

"Is killing them once not good enough for you? Boss?"

"You people just don't get it, do you?" Get what?

"What!" Yeah, I agree, what? What as in, what's happening right now? :3

"The targets of our plan are not the young Vongola family ducklings. Rather, it's the green onions that they're carrying."

"Green onions…!" Green onions:3 Sounds yummy! XD

"The rings. The rings. The Vongola rings."

"!"

"Vo-"

"Vongola Rings!"

"Sharp as always, Glo- kun. The rings are certainly first-class goods…"

"No, that's not right! If you mean the Vongola Rings!"

"Ahh!"

"Co-could it be, the boss is after …"

"Looks like you understand now. …Yes. The key to ultimate power. The 7^3 (tre-ni-sette)."

The people in the room started moving and leaving their seats.

Oh no, I'm going to be discover!

I ran down the hallway and back into Byakuran's room. Whoa, that was close! X3 Then I remembered…Irie was in Japan and I was in Italy! X3 How could I forget such a minor detail?

I looked around the room for a place to sit down, so I just sat down on the good ol' couch! XD And I can see how Byakuran likes to stay on this couch so much! He has the most comfortable sofa I ever laid down in! XD

So I laid there for a few minutes and my eyes were drooping off very quickly. I wonder why I always tired so quickly nowadays…is it because I'm getting old? XP

So I guess I fell asleep there, because when I woke up, I wasn't lying down on the couch seat but on someone's lap instead. O.0 I wonder who's? I didn't move, kept my breathing even, and my eyes closed. While trying to figure out who's lap I was lying on, I heard the door open.

"Excuse me."

"Oh, it's Leo- kun. Where have you been? I'd hoped you would be at the captain's meeting." Oh, Leo and Byakuran are in the same room! ^w^ But waitthat means I'm lying on Byakuran's lap=w=

"Wha-! No… I'm just a low-ranking member. We just received a transmission from the 11th Viola Squad. They reported that four of their B rank and above members were assassinated by unknown parties. They were killed under impossible circumstances, so an immediate investigation has been launched."

"So, the time has come for the moles to show themselves."

"Moles?"

"Have you heard of them? The Vongola's Special Assassination Squad, Varia."

"Varia!"

"Yes, there's no mistake. Well, it's a relief, isn't it?"

"Huh?"

"I was so very troubled about this. Which squad, the 8th squad or the 11th squad, should I send to Japan as reinforcements to collect the Vongola Rings? Which would you send, Leo-kun?"

"Gii! Y-you're asking me…? Even for the 11th, having engaged the Varia would mean they can't be dispatched immediately…Which means…"

"Can you send a message to the 8th Glicine Squad to head for Japan?"

"Yes, sir! Then, I'll let Mr. Irie Shouichi in Japan know as well."

"No, it's better not to tell Shou-chan anything for now. Because, the captain of the 8th Squad is the type Shou-chan really hates."

I heard the door closing and a sugary breathe near my ear.

"[Name] you know it's not nice to eavesdrops on people's conversation, especially during a meeting too~."

I shot stand up from his lap and waved my hands around.

"N-no, it's not what you think Byakuran! I was just…listening in?"

I shrugged my shoulders and watched as his grin became even grinnier (if that's a word -_-).

"Don't worry [Name]- chan, I know you won't betray me! It's not like you have any idea about what's happening right now."

Then a thought just came to me.

"Oh, Byakuran, can you do me a favor?"

"Hmm~? What is it?"

"Can I borrow a phone? I need to call Kyo- chan and everybody else to not worry-"

"I'm afraid I can't do that [Name]- chan~!"

"Why not? I just what them to know that-"

"I'm afraid I can't do that [Name]- chan."

The way he said it that time made me pause and I forced a smile.

"That's okay! I'll tell them later; it's not like a few more days could make a difference!"

And I lay back down on his lap and listen to his munch on his goodies. But the way he said it kept nagging me, as if there was something I didn't know, and don't want to know, about Byakuran.

I don't know, maybe all of this is getting to my head :3 So I guess I should end it here, since there's nothing else to write for now. Good bye! XD

[Name]- chan was here

and something is nagging her X3
