*Elijah's POV*

I knew by the time I was eleven years old that I would never go somewhere like heaven, or a fiery place of hell. Sure I've killed people, I've destroyed companies, and hacked the government data base on my day off. But not once have I ever thought that I would go anywhere else other than a dark void where I'll drift along forever. And I got exactly what I had thought I would, as my eyes roamed around the darkness I was floating in... It felt different.. I felt different I felt numb. Not just my body or what was my body but my emotions, my soul felt numb and in a way cold. I've never like the cold. As I curled in on myself to try and find some warmth closing my eyes, still seeing nothing but the darkness that surrounded me.

I don't know how long I stayed like that minutes? Hours? Maybe even years. But as I floated in that nothingness I felt a shift. My eyes cracked open, and for the first time since I've been here I saw a light, or were those lights? I felt the air shift around me again as I started to be drawn towards the lights. As I got closer and closer to the lights I had to shield my eyes as they adjusted to the sudden light. When I was on a ground level with the lights I was surprised when my feet touched a cool solid ground. I looked at the 'lights' just a few feat in front of me and was surprised when I saw they weren't lights, no they were flames each one being a different color from the others. My feet moved on their own as I stepped closer to the flames, when I was standing in front of the light blue flame I looked at the others and saw there were a total of seven of the colored flames.

"... Dying will... Flames.." I swirled around at the sudden sound of a voice, but besides me and the flames behind me there was nothing there. I shook my head lightly and turned back to the flames, maybe since I'm dead now maybe hearing voices is normal.

"dying will flames, huh." the words rolling off my tongue with such familiarity, but I don't know why.

"You have... To choose...only three.. Choose." the once again creepy voice called out, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

"Choose? But why?" Me being me I just had too question the voice.

"...Choose."

"yeah I get that, but-"

"Choose." I couldn't tell but I think I was starting to irritate the voice.

"Fine, Fine I'll choose." I grumbled under my breath before I turned my attention back to the crackling flames. I looked down at the light blue one in front of me noting it was about the size of a basketball. I lifted my left hand(I'm a lefty.) and let it ghost over the top of the flame, the flames barely grazing my hand but instead of a searing heat only a cool and calm feeling flooded throughout my body. I think I understood what the voice meant, if each and everyone of these flames represent something different then maybe I have to choose the three that represent me. And if I knew myself I don't have a calming effect on people, if anything I think it's more accurate to say I freak people out. I took my hand away from the light blue flame and watched as it faded away leaving only me and the other six flames.

"The Calming rain... That washes away... Everything.. Settling conflict."

"I get it I don't have a calming effect on people." I snapped at the voice before I moved on to the next flame, this one was a flickering violet flame. since the last flame didn't burn me this time I actually touched the flame instead of grazing the top of it. The feeling it brought me was completely different feeling, a feeling of indifference and aloofness completely replaced the calm feeling. And without realizing it I had grabbed the flame instead of pulling away, the flame immediately reacted as it swirled around my hand, before it snacked itself up my arm, dissapearing into the skin. I took a small step back in surprise as I felt the hum of the violet flame hum under my skin.

"The aloof cloud... Protects the family...from a independent standpoint... Cannot ever be bound." as the voice went on and on about these flames, I could swear I already knew about it.

I shook off the feeling of nostalgia and moved on to a misty indigo flame, and as my hand touch the flame a feeling of elusive, deceit, and in a way creativity. This time it was my own choice to grab this flame because I would not deny that was who I was, I tricked people, I deceived others by leading other lifes, and in my line of work creativity was something that came to me naturally. And I was right to choose because just like the violet flame it swirled around my arm, disappearing into my skin.

" The elusive Mist... Creating something from nothing... And nothing from everything...Deceitful as it hides the..true form of... Its family." I was really starting to get tired of the voice just popping up everytime I touched one of the flames. I stored all of what the voice had been saying in the back of my mind, never knowing if it was important or not before I moved on to the next flame. Which happened to be a very bright yellow flame that practically blinded me with it's brightness.

"Nope, Nope, Nope moving on." I didn't even touch the flame, because just by the way it looked and just the feeling it gave off, I could tell this flame just wasn't for me. And it seemed I made the right choice because it slowly dimmed out before disappearing.

"The sun that...strengthens others... And shines brightly... Upon the family."

Seeing as I made another right choice I moved on to a dark red flame that burned in place in a violently. Seeing as this one wasn't anything like the last flame I gave this one a chance, and as my hand barely touched the flame it Immediately reacted as it swirled around more violently filling me with the feeling of such a destructive and unrestrained feeling. I actually had to hold myself back from trying lash out, as the feeling started to lessen when the flame swirled around my arm disappearing into my skin, leaving just a small hum underneath my skin.

"The raging Storm... A continuous attack...That never rests.. And with that you have chosen your three dying will flames. Your choice has been made, use your gifts wisely and protect those closest to your heart." the last two remaining flames vanished from existence as the voice got louder. I felt the ground I was standing on start to shift, before it completely disappeared letting my body fall into the abyss.

"Only you can choose the path to follow, find who you want to protect, with trials ahead of you I wonder what will you do in this world Ink bearer? With your knowledge of this world will you fight? Or will you run?" my arms and legs frailed about as I descended further and further into the abyss the voice getting quieter and quite before all I heard was silence. As my fall started to slow down it felt like my body was being squeezed through a small tube, the breath was caught in my lunges as I was barely able to breath. As I felt like it would last forever I saw a small light in the distance, as I got closer and closer I started to hear gargled voices. As my body passed through the light I felt large hands grab my cold and wet body..

...wait! What?! I could hear a shrill screaming with my very sensitive ears, as I opened my eyes almost going blinded from the light above me. As I was passed around by the hands I felt a soft material wrap around my cold body before a was set down in a warm embrace.

"Congratulations! Sawada-San it's a healthy baby boy." a loud voice from my left said in japanese, although I've learned the language my translation was a little rough from not practicing the language. As my eyes adjusted to the light I was able to see the person who was holding me had long brown hair, and big warm honey eyes.

"Aww look at him Nana, He looks just like his old man!" my eyes shifted to the right, where the loud and obnoxious voice was coming from and saw a buff guy with spiky blonde hair, kinda narrow blue eyes, and a idiotic smile.

"Iemitsu can you hand me our other child I want to hold them both." at the sound of the mans name alarm bells started to go off in my head. Ever since I saw those flames in that dark place I kept getting the feeling like I already known what those flames were, and who these people are. As the man came back over he had a small bundle in his arms, which he gently handed to the woman holding me. With great difficultly I lifted up my head, my eyes landing on a little pudgy face with wide honey brown eyes, little tuffs of brown hair on his little head.

"Dear, what should we name them? If you want we can both name one of them." The woman said, smiling brightly at her husband, which for some reason I had a instant dislike for.

"Great idea sweetheart! Hmm... I got it! this little guy will be Tsuna, Tsunayoshi Sawada! My little tuna fish!" The man said making disturbing faces at the little bundle, now named Tsuna... I really do feel like a idiot now, those flames should have been a dead giveaway! And now the main character is not even a foot away from me, which only made the situation I was in that much more impossible.

"That's a wonderful name! Our little Tsuna. Now lets see Hmm... I got it! You'll be Tsuki, Tsukishiro Sawada." if it wasn't for the fact she was smiling down at me, I would have completely ignored her as my mind was in total chaos.

'This can't be happening! I shouldn't be here! Here shouldn't even EXIST! I died! And why did this woman call me Tsukishiro!? Last I heard I was Elijah!'

"Oh! Calm down Tsuki it's okay Mama's here." said the woman as she tried to calm down my wails.

But I couldn't stop myself, I cried. I cried because I wasn't me, I cried because I was so confused, I cried because I knew I didn't belong here.

Even as she tried to calm me down, it had no effect. In fact as I continued to cry the little bundle known as Tsuna soon joined in.

I cried because I was Tsukishiro Sawada a character in Katekyo Hitman Reborn who shouldn't exist.
