Chapter 3: Start Over
"Owww…" Tsuna groaned as he sat up rubbing his head. 'Back in the alley' he thought. He looked around and saw the hooded figure, Jack, staring at him. Jack lowered his hood and Tsuna could see he was young, perhaps 17, had chin length blonde hair and an apathetic expression. The only color that seemed to be in his face came from his startlingly red eyes.
"Here are the rules." Jack began, not bothering to wait for Tsuna to adjust to his surroundings. "You are now a poltergeist, meaning normal people on Earth can no longer see or hear you. However, you are able to move objects around, but only objects that you could already move. For example, you can't lift a car or whatever, but you could knock over a chair. Then again, you can still go into your Hyper Dying Will Mode and demolish a wall or something, but to people here it would just look like the wall was blasted inward with no outward force acting upon it. You get me so far?"
Tsuna nodded to show he understood. "Good. Now this will be the case for six days. On the seventh, something special happens. You will be visible and audible to people on Earth, but you can't move things around. In simpler terms if, on the seventh day, you decided to punch through a wall, your fist would go through it and the wall would remain intact. Still with me?"
Tsuna nodded again, processing the overwhelming amount of information he was receiving. "There are also some basic guidelines you need to follow. Number One: you can't hurt anyone here whether directly or indirectly. And by can't, I mean you are physically incapable of doing it. For example, if you were going to knock over a bookcase and someone was in the way, you wouldn't be able to knock over that bookcase. Number Two: You can tell people you are dead, but you can't tell them about anything in the afterlife. We're trying to maintain the mystery and all that jazz. Don't know why. It's just a lobby with crappy music, well unless you go to heaven or hell that is. Anyways. Number Three: You cannot save people from death. If they're going to get hit by a bus, it's predetermined that they will get hit by a bus. Messing with the strings of fate is a lot of paperwork. Well, actually there is a way you can save someone from death… If they are going to die and it's not predetermined…ah, but that probably won't happen. And finally, Number Four: There are no extensions or outrunning the time limit. In exactly seven days you will be instantaneously transported back to the lobby for the rest of eternity. Any questions?" Jack finished.
"Um, what are you here for then?" Tsuna asked hesitantly.
"I will transport you to different locations if, for instance, a relative lives in a country other than the one you are in and I'm also here to make sure you don't screw up the boundaries that separate those on Earth and those who stay in the hotel lobby." Jack stated.
"Oh, and how would I be able to contact you if I need to go somewhere?"
"…Uh…Yell really loudly?" Tsuna sweatdropped.
"Er…thanks I guess." Tsuna said.
"Anyways," Jack scratched the back of his neck sheepishly when a thought dawned on him. "Oh right!" he yelled. He rummaged through his pockets before producing a blue pill which he proudly handed to Tsuna. "This is for emergencies only. That means emergencies as in 'Omigosh this person's death wasn't predetermined and he's about to get eaten by rabid wolves' level bad. This pill will make you alive in all senses of the word for exactly five minutes. However, after those five minutes, you'll be taken back to the lobby for eternity immediately afterwards, regardless of how many days you have left."
"That's pretty confusing…" Tsuna stated.
"Ah, don't worry about it. You probably won't need the pill." Jack said. Then he snapped his fingers and Tsuna's world turned upside down once more. Once Tsuna managed to clear his head, he saw that he was in front of... his house? He looked around, but Jack was nowhere to be seen. "Alright." Came Jack's voice, startling Tsuna. "Your seven days begins…now!" And Jack's voice faded away. His intuition told him that he was alone and, with a trembling hand, Tsuna slowly reached for the doorknob.
A/N: Another chapter?! Are they insane?! No... I just had no homework tonight. (*gasp* that's impossible!) So I worked on my fanfic... I might update again this weekend too. Y'all are just so lucky this week... Anyways, was that confusing for anyone? I'll try and explain it again here.
Days 1-6: Tsuna can move things around, but no one can see/hear him
Day 7: People can see/hear him, but he can't move things around
Blue Pill: Gives him life for five minutes but then he is immediately transported back to the lobby.
That better? I stink at explanations... Sorry that this is mainly an informatory chapter. I'll try and work in the guardians on the next one, so please hang in there! Anyways. I have no idea how long this story is going to be. Hopefully it won't go over 10 chapters cuz I'm already writing two other stories, but who knows? *shrugs* What will really decide this is if you all REVIEW! It motivates me to write more! :D
