AN: Hello there everyone, here we are with an update to this story. I apologize this hasn't been updated very much, but the next color was green and you all should know what flame that is, and I was having some trouble figuring out what exactly I would do with this chapter, because this OC was kind of hard to figure out at first, but after taking a few steps back, I think I finally got it figured out. But, I am actually working on a little side project that has to do with strings and plots. I will actually start out my story with this, and if you want to know about it, then feel free to ask, but I'll just refer you to another official, known as plot twist. But, I've kept you waiting for this, so how about we get started on this chapter. So here we go.

Chapter 1 pt. 4

*Third POV, Outside city limits*

Clouds clear to reveal a bloody scene. There were 7 people scattered about, all dressed in blood stained, black clothing and their faces and hands were covered by white bandages, also covered with blood. The dead people were known as Vindice, a group of people known for keeping the peace in the mafia world. They were supposed to be the most powerful people in the world.

"Lero. I don't think this was a good idea, Lero," a folded pink umbrella with a pumpkin at the top said while floating around, looking slightly worried. "Lord Millennium, did you have to incur the wrath of people like this?" The umbrella said turning to a man. He had short, grey-ish black hair, slightly tan skin, and 1 green eye and a bronze eye. He was slightly muscular but more towards the skinny side. He wore a long-sleeved black shirt that was tucked into a pair of jeans, a brown belt and black shoes.

"Don't worry too much about it Lero," he said as dark smoke started to form around his left hand. "Besides, that was the point to begin with." He grabbed the handle and twirled the umbrella around in his left hand as the smoke surrounded Lero and he began to cough. "And have I told you not to call me that?" He stopped swinging and pointed the end point at a wall as the black smoke formed at the end. "Yggdrasil is my name now." A black line shot out from the end and destroyed the wall as soon as it made contact. He let go of Lero and let him float towards the wall and just stared in front of him.

"L-Lero?" The umbrella exclaimed as he stared ahead of him. The wall was gone and there was no debris anywhere to be seen. Instead there was a sphere surrounded by black flames with a white outline. "Nothing is left, Lero," the umbrella muttered as he suddenly popped open. "That's just a little frightening."

"You're surprised?" The man asked as he walked by the umbrella and reached for the sphere. He was about to touch it when a stray flame hit his hand and began to engulf his entire arm. "It seems that this flame is what I've been looking for." He shook his arm and the flames disappeared. A white liquid began to cover his arm as it began to harden into a shape similar to his arm but with claws at the end. "My powers have no limitation."

"L-Lero?" The umbrella began to sweat a lot and felt very uncomfortable around his owner. He watched as the other person grabbed the flame without being engulfed by the flame. "Y-you never mentioned you could do that." The man just turned around and scoffed at the umbrella.

"There's a lot you don't know Lero. This is just one of many." He began to walk away while still holding the sphere. "You just need patience, like he did." Yggdrasil looked up at the sky and let out a little sigh as he saw a white blur passed across the sky. "Even after these thousands of years, he still won't surrender." He grabbed the umbrella with his right hand as the same white liquid from before began to surround his entire body. "Let's go now Lero. And we'll go quickly." The liquid formed over his body completely but he disappeared from sight.

A few seconds later a figure wearing a white cape and silver mask appeared. His cape covered both of his arms and reached all the way to the ground. It could be told, however, that he was wearing a black jacket, black Capri-like pants and white, heavy duty boots. He also had neck-length red hair and a scar on the left side of his face that started as a pentagram on his forehead, trailed down in a line that severs his eyebrow and mars his eyelid, and hooks slightly at his cheekbone and follows his cheek down close to his chin. "Damn it all, missed him again." He looked in the direction he was facing. "Just what do you have planned?" He looked at the bloody people of Vindice and took a little pity on them. "If it has something to do with the families of this generation, there's no way I can allow you to continue these crimes. You may have the soul, but the body won't rest until you're dead." In a white flash the figure was gone, leaving the bodies of the Vindice behind.

There was a slight coughing noise as one of the Vindice tried to move towards where the two had gone. "No, the fool. He's released the Moon. Now no one is safe." He coughed more as blood trickled down his bandages. "Now nothing will stop it's reincarnation from fighting on. He'll become Hell's Messenger and destroy us all." He reached out to nothing, but soon went limp. With his final breath he said his final words. "And shall begin this cycle anew. Never ending." He soon died after that.

*Ken POV*

There was the sound of an alarm blaring and I hit it to turn it off. I yawned and sat up as my head began pounding. Whatever happened I was sure I didn't want to know. I looked around and saw my entire room was a mess, not unlike regular days. I got out of the bed and saw that I was only in a pair of boxers. That was just strange. I was even more sure this time that I didn't want to know what went on last night.

I grabbed a dark blue shirt long sleeves, blue jeans and black shoes and quickly changed into them. I ran to the bathroom, realizing that my alarm was set for 7:40 instead of 7:00. I was going to be late at this rate. First day on the job and I was going to be late. They would probably fire me then and there as soon as I showed up.

My brown eyes stared back at me as I looked at myself in the mirror. My brown hair was a little messy but that was OK, it was like that anyway. My light skin was still as light as ever, and I was still as tall as ever. I did notice that my tools and explosives weren't in the special pockets in my shirt sleeves. I looked around and couldn't see them anywhere in my bathroom. I also looked in my room, as much as I cared to, and couldn't find them anywhere. I just couldn't leave without them in case something happened at the school.

I finally found them, after searching a bit longer, next to my answering machine. I saw I had a message and played it. "Ciaos Ken-kun," it started out. I already could tell that it was Reborn. "I'm calling because you have a mission to fulfill from the Decimo. He wants you to find someone who has attacked Vindice." I looked at the answering machine, knowing that it would have been important if Reborn was discussing the generalization of the mission on an answering machine. "Meet me on your way to the school today and I'll tell you more." The message cut off there.

Though I had retired from my original line of work of helping out the Vongola with whatever assignments they had for me, Reborn wouldn't have been asking if anyone else could. I looked at the time again and noticed that it was now only 7:47. I would have a little bit of time, but not a whole lot. I decided to go anyway. He knew where I'd be so there wouldn't be a problem finding him. I grabbed my tools and explosives and put them into their respective pockets as well as the bag I'd need for my class and started running towards the school. Thankfully it wouldn't be too far if I ran.

I saw an individual with black hair and wearing a suit begin running after me. He also had a hat with a chameleon on it staring at me. He caught up to me rather easily and began running alongside me. "Took you long enough to get on your way," the individual said, not breaking pace at all.

"Well hello to you too Reborn-san," I replied, bluntly. "So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" I said as we continued running, trying our best not to run anyone over.

He took out a few photos and handed them to me. "Last night, Vindice was attacked by an individual calling himself Yggdrasil. Though there were some unnatural occurrences, such as a talking umbrella, the man could change a part of his body, and with that change he could touch something they called the Defiler of Hell. I'm not sure what it is but they sounded like that shouldn't have been possible." We continued to run as I looked at the photos of the scene. Multiple members of Vindice were on the ground in a pool of their own blood. This person was able to take down 7 of the Vindice? Just what was he?

"So you want me to track him down?" I asked looking at Reborn-san, who just shook his head.

"No, Decimo wants you to look after the Unidecimo candidate." I looked at Reborn-san confused.

"What does that have to do with anything? And why me? Couldn't he have asked someone who still works for him like Takeshi or Hayato?" I was pretty sure either of them would be better for the task, especially Takeshi. He'd be great with a kid. Reborn-san looked at me like it should have been obvious.

"One of Vindice was barely alive when we went there, though he wasn't alive for long. He told us another man came soon after and wondered aloud if the other man was after the families of this generation. From that we can assume the man who attacked them is after the mafia families. Decimo'll be in safe hands with the Arcobaleno, the Guardians, and of course himself. That leaves the candidate, who'll be left in your care because they're in your class." I just stared at him a bit. By they does he mean not to tell me the gender or is it that I have multiple candidates? But he said candidate so that would have to mean one. But it was Reborn-san I was talking about. "Hey, you still with me Ken-kun?" He asked.

"Yeah, just going through everything. So I'm supposed to babysit him?" I asked as he just nodded. "How am I supposed to get that by him?"

"You don't. You just keep watch from afar." I nodded, accepting his explanation. "Looks like your stop." He said as we both stopped.

I turned and began walking away. "Well it was nice to see you Reborn-san. Especially in that form." I turned around for a brief second and pointed with my left index finger. "How did you ever stay like that for so long? Wasn't your curse lifted when Tsunayoshi-san took his seat as the head?" He seemed to scoff a bit at that.

"Yes, but I won't reveal my secrets to someone like you." He turned around and began walking away. "Don't mess up. Ciaos." A person walked into the line of sight for just a brief second, but when they were gone, he wasn't there. That Reborn-san was full of surprises.

I was about to turn around and head to the front desk to check in, when I realized that I hadn't asked Reborn who the candidate was. If he hadn't disappeared I would have then and there, but he had. He was crafty, but it was really annoying when he used it against you. I guess I'll have to talk to him later about it. For now, I had a class to get to.

After what was probably the weirdest non-mafia related incidents in my life (the people at the front didn't have an ID badge for me and didn't have a class scheduled in my name), I finally made it to class. I opened the door and everyone was quiet, which surprised me a bit, but I made sure not to let it show. I saw that 3 people were eyeing me and probably saw the bumps in my sleeves from my tools and explosives. I picked up a clip board and began reading the names and counting them. There were a total of 42 in this class. Not to large but not small either. "Alright students, welcome to your first day of class. I'll be your teacher for the year." I pretended to look over the list, even though I already had. After that I turned around and began to write my preferred name on the chalk board. "You may call me Hayashi-sensei if you want, but I'd prefer to just be called Ken-sensei." I turned around with a serious look on his face. "It seems everyone's in their assigned seats, so I'll begin class now." *AN: We've been over this a few times, and despite it being in Ken's POV, I'm going to skip to lunch*

The lunch bell rang and everyone began to leave for lunch. I sat down at my desk and pulled out my box. I opened it and saw that I had forgotten to bring any sake. I wasn't supposed to have it on school grounds, but I didn't care too much for that rule. But without my sake I risked destroying stuff. And there were still a few students in the room, so I couldn't do that. Guess the only thing that I could have done was hack.

I turned towards the computer and went to Google. I decided to click "I'm Feeling Lucky" and see what I got. When I clicked it I was searching for tonfa. Not sure how I got stuck with that but oh well. Guess it was better than nothing. I began messing right away with the website, making it seem like the description was just to throw people off. I put up all sorts of stuff not related to the weapon, links to several anime that had nothing to do with tonfa's or martial arts in anyway, pictures of random crap, such as explosions, dogs, cats, and oranges, random letters put together to try to make coherent words, and to top it off, I made the background a tile pattern of multi color polka dots and purple stripes.

When I was satisfied with my work I got off of it and began eating my lunch, since I had spent almost half of my time doing that. I didn't eat quickly, but I didn't need to since I didn't have much. I looked back at the website and clicked 'Refresh' only to have the website unchanged. I looked at the properties and saw that it was modified only a few minutes before I had finished. Someone was currently working on the site and had noticed my hacking. Normally I would be worried they'd trace it, but because it was the school's computer there was no way to tell who exactly it was that had messed with it.

I just did what I did all over again, only to see that the same result had come; the website had been modified back to its original form. This guy was pretty good, but not as good as me. I began tracing where his signal was coming from and saw that it was coming from a computer on the roof. I dug a little more into that very computer, and saw that the IP address was registered to a Hikari Watori. That last name sounded a bit familiar so I looked on my roster. Sure enough, there was a Kazuma Watori on it. He probably had the laptop and it probably belonged to either his dad or his mom (I know a lot of males and females named Hikari).

The lunch bell rang soon after and I tried to exit from the website, but the screen was frozen. I tried whacking it to make it unfreeze, but instead I got the 'Blue Screen of Death', but something was different. Words were beginning to form in white text. I thought I was seeing things until I read what it said. 'Hayashi-sensei, you're going to pay for that after school. -Kazuma.' I wasn't scared, but I did take it seriously. If he could track down the exact IP address as well as send me a message while hacking into the computer itself, he was, in no way, joking around. *Again with skips, so let's go to after school*

The bell rang and everyone left, but there was one person still sitting in their seats, putting everything away. It was a kid no older than 12 with black spiky hair, purple eyes, and the school uniform. I deduced this was Kazuma mostly because he was putting up a laptop. I began walking out the door and kept going until I got to a little nook between the school and the gym. I went in, not trying to hide because I was scared but to think out a strategy beforehand. His name sounded familiar but I wasn't sure from where.

As I thought I saw a bottle of sake laying on the ground as well as a cup. That was weird to be lying there and I had half a mind to find the person who had brought it into the school. But it is after my class is over, I thought as I picked them both up and poured me a cup of sake, downing it in one gulp. The stuff wasn't that strong, so I just poured another and downed another, repeating the cycle until Kazuma showed up.

He was glaring at me the entire time, but I just let it slide. He yelled in a slightly high pitched voice, "Here you are, you hacking son of a-" He left his sentence hanging. I just stayed where I was, not really caring about him right now.

I just took a swig of the sake and just ignored him, hoping he'd just leave me alone. Unfortunately I was wrong since he had slammed the cup out of my hand and onto the ground. I just looked up at him unamused and lazily stood up. "You shouldn't have done that Kazuma," I said. Before he could react, a few small explosives left my sleeves and exploded around him.

The smoke cleared and only a crater remained from where Kazuma had been. "Look around before making a move," Kazuma said as he appeared out of nowhere and smashed a tonfa into my back. I just rolled away and looked at the kid.

"I must say I'm impressed, who ever taught you is immensely skilled." I said as a few more bombs appeared out of my sleeves. "But you can't dodge this." All the bombs that had come out were thrown at Kazuma, who simply ran as fast as he could to dodge them all and appear in front of me. He had no idea he had just gotten into the perfect position. He was about to deliver a blow with the wide end the tonfa when multiple explosions hit him in the back.

Kazuma wasn't really hurt, but wasn't moving. "While you know a lot about explosives, you don't know enough. That was my Reverse Rocket Bomb: Double Style Stunner." Kazuma didn't seem to be able to move as I just walked away. I saw that another person in my class had been watching. He had black, spiky hair (more spiky than Kazuma's), palish tan skin and green eyes. He was wearing the school uniform, which I'm not sure why I realized that but I did. I just walked by and saw him run towards the gym, only to hear the scream of another in my class. "YOU'RE LATE!" And I could hear concrete crack from the force that she had used.

"Well, can't say that it's too bad. I get to meet nice people like these." I started on my trek home, noticing a stray piece of paper stuck to the gate. I grabbed it and saw that there was one word written on it. 'Witness.' I pondered what that meant, as well as who left it. But from the writing style, it was close to assume Reborn-san, but I've seen people with handwriting so close that it's impossible to tell whose is whose. I turned it over to see that there was one more word written. 'Candidate.' So, that person was the Unidecimo candidate?

I just scoffed a bit and stuffed the paper into my pocket. What could Decimo see in a runt like that? I threw the thought away and remembered it wasn't a soldier's job to question. It was to be brave and follow orders. But for some reason, deep in my gut I could tell that this was going to be interesting. That this was the beginning to something much larger than we could ever dream of.

AN: Well I hope it wasn't too long. I wanted to give you guys an apology for not updating as well as a great work. I really hope you guys enjoyed it. So, so far we have red, orange, yellow and green done. But that leaves blue, purple, and indigo. But do after staring at it for a bit, I'm beginning to wonder something. Is indigo a shade of blue? I've never noticed it before and it looks a lot like a blue. If that's the case, do you want indigo before purple? I know I'm being slightly mean to the person who gave me the OC for purple, but I really am wanting (on purpose) this to be in some sort of sensical order. But maybe the order now is good. Eh, never mind. Forgot I even asked that. Well, I'm going to work on the other stuff now and I hope you guys enjoyed. Please remember to leave a review, even anonymous. As every writer knows, every review is like a diamond, glittering with hope. I promise that the thing at the beginning won't happen next time. It took about a quarter, so I do apologize for that, but for something I have planned, it's needed. Well, again I say please review and if you're new please follow. I don't want any flames though, unless I deem them cousins to constructive criticism. So until next time my readers, ciaossu.
