DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN AND GUILTY CROWN. I DO NOT EVEN OWN ITS CHARACTERS which is such a shame...

A/N: Hello there! I'm so back~ anyways, I know many of you has seen my unforgivable mistake from the Prologue, right? Instead of Yuzuriha, I accidentally typed Yuzuhira. I'm really sorry; I've noticed it myself too... I'll repost it once I've edited that.

Also, I want to warn you that this may also contain some OOC-ness. And another thing, I might focus more on Inori's POV. Thanks, have fun!

EDIT: All right, the correction has been made~


Chapter 1

Funeral Parlor


"Inori, welcome back." a man with blonde hair which extends to his shoulders and grey eyes greeted her as she entered the apartment.

He's Tsutsugami Gai, the man who saved Inori's life and the one who also took care of her. Inori held a lot of respect for him too.

He was sitting in a sofa holding some documents. An envelope and a number of papers were scattered over the table. "We have another job." he declared. In return, she nodded without saying anything.

Gai stood up and arranged the papers. He then put them neatly back in the envelope and right after that, they moved out.

=/=

Night fell as they arrived at their headquarters, which was made of almost metal and steel. A woman in the wheelchair with brown eyes and reddish hair tied in a ponytail, and another girl with long purple hair which extends to her waist and possessed purple eyes, met them.

They were Ayase (in the wheelchair) and Tsugumi (purple-haired girl), supporting members of their group.

"We heard the news. Let's get going." the woman in the wheelchair said.

They then proceeded to a room where members gathered. As soon as they arrived, everyone greeted them. It seemed they had really high respects with them, especially with Gai.

He then moved forward and announced their mission. Having laid down all the details and necessary pieces of information, Gai divided them into groups and instructed them about their roles. After a short briefing of the plan, they reassured victory. As soon as they heard, they swiftly went to their designated workplaces and started organizing a plan. And then, they finally went to perform their duties, and some members, including him and Inori, also moved out.

Their mission was to catch a group of bandits which posed as a threat to their client and to retrieve something that he lost to them.

=/=

Since it was night-time, the streets were totally deserted. This just made it easier for them to move about, though they still had to be careful since they can't afford underestimating their opponents. After Tsugumi gave the signal—sending a detailed map of the whole town affected, and pointing out the exact location of the enemy hideout to Gai's device, they moved out. They went smoothly with the plan, which secured their inevitable victory.

Finally, after a quick fight and struggle, they cornered their targets. It seemed they were much weaker than they thought, but it was a good thing, since the payment for their job this time was really big. Pointing their weapons as a sign of threat, they demanded for the item which was to be retrieved by them. The accused denied and struggled to fight back, but their actions were futile.

"You should know we're trying to put up with you just so we could keep you alive." Gai spoke in a dangerous tone. The men gasped as they looked into Gai's grey eyes.

"B-but... You shouldn't have been able to fight us! This is insane!" the man clasping a small black bag exclaimed in disbelief. He seemed to be their leader too, since he was the only man who at least put up a nice fight with them, though he wasn't strong enough to become victorious. "We don't even know you guys! From what family are you anyway?" he continued.

"Family?" Gai asked in a derisive tone. He glared at the man. "We're not the kind of family you're thinking of." he continued. He then moved his gun closer to the man's throat. "Now tell me, where is it?" his voice was cold, and his finger seemed about to pull the trigger any second.

The man shivered in fear. He sensed that this man in front of him would seriously take his life.

No. This man kills.

He handed over the bag he was clutching with his hands shaking violently. "S-s-spare us..." he stammered. Gai smirked as he seized the bag. "Okay, now everything's settled." he secured the item and gestured at Inori and the others. They nodded and lowered their weapons.

The man, relieved, let out a sigh. He seemed too exhausted and stressed out, but abruptly, Gai tied them up. "Our client said to catch you guys, so we still got business." he declared as they took them away.

=/=

The next day, at a certain place, Gai and Inori waited for their client to come. They brought along the gang of bandits and the black bag.

Inori was wearing her white leotard outfit with black camisoles. It's the dress she usually wore when she's not on stage, and/or when she's out on a mission. If not the white outfit, she might wear the red one. And her hair is still tied in pigtails. Gai, on the other hand, wore white formal clothes. He even had a white fedora on, and his hair was tied in a ponytail. He still wore his white gloves on, too.

Finally, after about an hour or so, they spotted a black limo coming. It parked just right in front of them. A man came out from the driver's seat. He was wearing black suit and black shades, and he was also bald. Then, he proceeded to open the door at the passenger side, and a teenage boy with tousled silver hair and turquoise eyes came out. He was wearing a white tuxedo, but the ribbon of his shirt was loosened and the upper two buttons were unfastened.

No doubt, it's their client. From what they know, he's a Mafia Boss too, but leads a small family, or so what the boy told them. That's the main reason why he had to hire some random mercenaries, or so what he said. He seemed to be insulting them that time, since he said they were new and he never heard of/about and so on, but as he saw them with the group of bandits tied down beside them and a small black bag that the cherry-haired woman carried, his face clearly showed his disbelief.

"Oh... You did just as I said." he said in a rather mocking tone for his age. Quickly, his men took out a big black suitcase, as large as a mini television. "Here's your payment, though I wasn't expecting you to finish the job." he continued.

Inori gave the bag away, and she also gave the tip of the rope tying the bandits. As Gai received their payment, he arrogantly declared, "This is Funeral Parlor at your service. I hope we get another job from you soon."

The boy grinned which revealed his sparkly teeth. He was obviously pleased with Gai's attitude. But without saying a word, he climbed on the car. They then took off, taking away the bandits and the item.

=/=

It was already noon when they reached the apartment. Gai and Inori lived together there, while other members either lived somewhere else or stayed at their headquarters.

=/=

Actually, Inori still had class that day, but because of their mission, she just had to skip it. Going to school wasn't really important, since it was only for cover and for her to observe the town freely, without the suspicions of others. Their jobs were frequently situated in Namimori Town. It was a hassle, so they decided to move. Also, the town seemed to be more convenient to move about, since only a handful knew about Inori—the voice behind the famous internet artist Egoist. And since they were strangers, they needed someone as a lookout to examine their new surroundings and environment. It's one of those survival rules.

Anyways, since they had money and they just finished a job, obviously they should rest. They considered it a free day with nothing to do.


To be continued...


A/N: So there you have it folks! Once again this is Pure at your service! So, yeah, Funeral Parlor remained, but not as a group of guerrillas but as Undertakers (who takes job from clients). And I want to tell you that from Guilty Crown (GC), only the Funeral Parlor members (excluding Ouma Shu) would remain in my story. Even Mana is not included here. (I apologize beforehand, especially for their fans)

I guess it bored you, since I didn't give any specific and thrilling details about their fights and all but you see, those men they fought and their client are just some extra, supporting, or minor OCs I've created in order to point out that I still included the Funeral Parlor here. I know, it's uninteresting too, since Inori and Kyoya haven't had an interaction but I just have to do this to make it clear! And about the teenage boss, he'd be an important OC so look forward to him! I hope you'll continue reading though I do assume you were disappointed with this chapter...

Please feel free to suggest or anything, I do need some help too~
