AN: Hello everyone! First of all thanks for the favorites/follows/reviews, I'm pretty sure they doubled with the second chapter. This chapter is a little shorter than the other chapters but it's a turning point in the story. Pairings still undecided. And to answer a guest review:

To: Sah

First of all thanks for review, and giving me the benefit of doubt _. To answer why Tsuna doesn't escape or not crown the next king, it should be explained in around chapter 6 or so (not sure). As for the dark to funny thing, I personally have no clue. I was just in the 'mood', but I expect it's going to be mix at first. And Queue is like 'It's your Queue to say your lines' in a play or something.

Chapter 3: Stolen Crown

Tsuna loved greeting the kings when they came to be crowned, regardless of the situation and what they would do in the future. It was simply because it was hilarious to irritate them, and watch them struggle as they tried not to kill him. The way their faces turn red as their blood rushed to their heads...ok, maybe he was a sadist, but what else was he able to do in this stupid room?

In a way it was one of his only enjoyments of this twisted life of his, a life in which he was locked for eternity in this small dark room. Thought the enjoyment was rather twisted. Oh well, they deserved it.

Adjusting his kimono slightly, Tsuna pushed his long kimono up to his elbows and bowed mockingly. He then quickly pulled himself back to standing position. "Welcome to my lair and blah blah blah, who cares? My name's Tsunayoshi, Tsuna for short, also known as the Eternal Vessel of Gaia, the primordial goddess of the earth. And it's my unfortunate job to put a crown on your oversized pompous head, get the vongola rings to except you, and yada yada."

Taking a sip from a glass of blood-red wine, Xanxus raised an eyebrow at the introduction.

"Well trash? Are you going to do something or just stand there? I haven't come up five bloody flights of stairs to just hear that did I?"

A slight twitch of his eye was the only sign of Tsuna's irritation. Oh, how he hated this king already. And the earth hadn't even said a word yet.

Ignoring the man's verbal jab, Tsuna strolled over to the golden throne, carefully holding the edges of his robes slightly above his bare feet to avoid tripping, and to his chagrin, he just barely met Xanxus's red brown eyes even while the man was still sitting.

Uncomfortably aware of the multiple eyes on him, he brushed a lock of his dirt-brown hair away from his heart-shaped face with a slight frown. Reaching out with his left hand, he put two fingers on the man's forehead and closed his eyes. Mildly feeling Xanxus's piercing eyes on him, Tsuna concentrated and opened his mind's eye.

Looking into the darkness that contained the 'worlds' of his existence, Tsuna walked into the darkness. Existence was a complicated thing. There was many things that made up a person. One's memories, the people around them, their beliefs. Everything was different.

The things that made them up could be contradictions of every form. For example, for one friend you could be sarcastic, and for another you could be the kindest. Each person contain thousands of different personalities. They could be completely different, or there could be slight differences.

The different things were 'worlds' in the darkness. Memories, interactions, and the personality each person around them. Every direction he glanced he saw people that he had forgotten, moments of his childhood. He stopped when he came across a glowing ball of white light, his soul.

It was beautiful, much like a pearl excepting glowing impossibly bright. In the middle of the orb was a small flickering flame, looking as if it was close to burning out yet still pushing to live.

Reaching a hand up to the orb, his hand passes through it to the flame. Grabbing on to the flame, orange light bathed over him, blinding him for a minute. When he opened his eyes, he came upon a familiar sight.

He was inside what he called the heart of the earth; a cavern that glowed with unknown light and filled with thousands of gems and crystals of all sizes and shape. The sides and floor were littered with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, diamonds etc. It was truly beautiful and majestic, just like the earth itself.

In the middle of the cavern was a short, yet giant spire tipped with a open tulip bulb. And in that bulb was a woman, curled in the tulip with her legs hanging out in the open. Her hair was the color of ebony, decorated with strings of gold leaves, and her almond-shaped eyes were the color of honeyed gold. She was dressed in a long-sleeved dappled dress of gold,brown, and green colors that fit against her tan skin. The dress had a slit in the skirt, revealing a shapely leg. She was a beauty beyond beauties.

Watching him with tired yet loving eyes, the woman walked towards him, elegant and ladylike; not a hair out of place, and stopped at his feet. Kneeling down, the woman pulled him into a quiet comforting hug. He is not the one she whispered quietly into his ear. He will never be the king, he is not of the line.

Closing his lava colored eyes against the embrace, a single tear fell out of his eye, leaving a ghostly trail behind.

I know he whispered silently, Yet he is the only one left.

The woman nodded, her expression accepting yet sad. She closed her eyes and a flickering light appeared out her fingertips. Holding it out for Tsuna, she whispered a final shocking message before he was shot back to the room.

You will find your happiness soon, my little prince.

Then he was backed in the room murmuring words in the ancient tongue, even as his mind had been somewhere else. It was as if time itself had not passed. And it indeed had not.

"*Come la nave Eterna di Gaia, uno dei tre pilastri della pace, lo giuro sul mio sangue, la mia spada e la mia vita immortale" he chanted without pause, " **Al mio giuramento la vita di questo regno continuerà a vivere. Mi lego io stesso, come un figlio della terra, per voi. I corona-"

Suddenly he felt a dark, overwhelming presence. A man was suddenly there besides him. A flash of wind, and suddenly he was in the man's arms, being carried away bridal style. Black he thought as he gazed into the black fabric of the man's suit, Black as death. Distantly in his ears, he could he hear Xanxus's roar of rage while his men yelled in surprise at the newcomer.

Then they were gone, whirling past the startled men and out the door into the endless white hallways of the building that had trapped him for centuries upon centuries. Held against the man's chest, he heard the nearly silent yet fast panting breaths of the mysterious man.

As the man turn at a corner, his brain finally processed the situation. He let out a ear piercing shriek and started to struggle, trying to escape the kidnapper's arms. He squirmed and thrashed, trying to escape.

Yelping at the sudden struggle the man only managed a few words. "Oi-" the kidnapper snared, "Calm the fuck down-"

Yelling in outrage, Tsunayoshi slammed his elbow against the man's ribs drawing out a near unnoticeable choke. He bumped his head against the man's chin, drawing a hiss. Distantly aware of the strange yellow pacifier against the stranger's chest, he proceeded to bite the hand that tried to restrain him.

Cursing in a variety of languages, three of which he recognized, due to the pain, the man hurled them out a nearby window, in which the man seemed to have entered from as it was open, into a bright blue sky.

For a moment, Tsunayoshi was stunned. It had been over three centuries since he had seen the sky. As they hung in mid-air, time seemed to have slowed. And at that moment, Tsuna saw what he hadn't saw for over 300 years.

The sky was a beautiful blue, clear and bright. A yellow sun glowed while pure white clouds floated by, forming strange shapes. Then they dropped, and Tsunayoshi started screaming.

"What kind of kidnapper are you! You kidnap me and now we're going to die because you wouldn't go out the bloody door and chose the stupid freaking window instead!" he shrieked as they neared the ground.

"A hitman" the man said as he flipped himself to land on his feet. And without a word, he raced away into a nearby forest with the boy firmly in his arms, said boy still pale from fear.
