Not going to lie I did this during a lecture, and like always it has not been revised. Hope you enjoy, and before I go, Dialogue why art thou so hard?!~River

Takeshi had taken to following (floating) after him now that in itself was not a bad thing, in fact, Tsuna liked having Takeshi around, he was a bubbling ball of happiness a complete 360 of the week before. The problem with his shadowing was he tried to talk to him during class and Tsuna received countless dubious looks after he had tried -and failed- whispering for 'Takeshi stop! I am in class!' needless to say, it didn't bring results.

"Tsuna, I just want to talk. No harm in that, is there?" Takeshi laughed freely arms, finding their way to wrap around his shoulders to rest the urge to scream was getting much harder to contain.

Hissing under his breathe Tsuna not so subtly shrugged the offending appendages away no wonder people thought he was crazy they couldn't see Takeshi. "If you do not stop now I will end you!" later he remembered Takeshi was already dead and his threat was meaningless; yes this was his life now.

The class period went on in all its strangeness Takeshi's insistent prodding, and Tsuna wanting to slam his head on the desk for it to just end.

He had never received such bewildered looks in his life. They were actually quite amusing. Nezu-sensei's face was particularly amusing mouth hung open and he had to resist the urge to say,'close your mouth or you'll catch flies' that morning had indeed been enjoyable compared to the majority.

As soon as the bell rang Tsuna was up and stumbling out the door sting laughter resounding in his ears when he nearly face-planted over a foot his tormentors would never give him a free day...

His sanctuary was not an option today Hibari-san had decided to roost there for the day and that meant Tsuna had to traverse the thing (read: Hell) that was the school for a new safe haven Takeshi loyally drifting behind him.

"The school really is interesting huh? Everything is so different from when I was alive." Takeshi whispered behind him tone sombre. Tsuna wanted to ask how, why was it different, but he refrained now was not the time.

Tsuna hummed eyes peering at his surrounding for a place to hide in silence there was nothing in sight. "Hey, Takeshi?"

"Yes, Tsuna?"

He bit his lip teasing the skin between his teeth, "Why don't you explore. See if anything's the same?" he offered lightly still wary of another possible outbreak.

The ghost's arms were suddenly around him cold, unnatural, but there and Takeshi was smiling lips pulled wide and genuine Tsuna liked that smile it was free. Then the cold was gone his companion flickering away. That was something that was different between Byakuran and Takeshi other than the obvious Takeshi could flicker out of existence and go wherever he wanted the menace could not.

Tsuna settled for a little crevice overlooking the gate small and hardly noticeable he was quite sure he had passed it more than once in his search.

Settling in a comfortable, position Tsuna set on to do nothing, he was safe in his hideaway and he wanted to sleep. That's not too much to ask right...?

His peace was shattered so quickly he wondered if it had started at all. "Today is an EXTREMELY good day to run!" Please don't be another ghost, please don't be another ghost was probably going to be his new motto.

This one was brighter (and louder) close-cut white hair as he punched the air ecstatic grin on his face. That was promptly when the spirit noticed him the wind whipped around him his already crazy hair, slapping him in the face with the wind from the man's mad dash over to him. "You should Extremely join the boxing club!"

Tsuna twitched an uneasy smile hands twitching in front of him. "No thank you I have no interest." The scream was strong with this one.

The ghost wasn't detoured latching onto his arms with a vice grip and yelling. "I insist you must join the boxing club!"

He still wasn't sure how that would work.

He was quickly dragged away feet nowhere near the ground. "HIEEE!" there was the scream that so desperately wanted to be free.

The so called 'boxing club' was nothing more than a busted ring and very few working lights."Um, Ghost-san I really can't-" his refusal was interrupted.

"My name is Ryohei, but you can Extremely call me Onii-san!"

Was he supposed to call a ghost Onii-san? Well, it wasn't the weirdest thing to happen.

"Uh, O-onii-san why is it that you're the only member?" Tsuna was honestly curious all the clubs in Namimori had at least one member, but this place was just plain deserted. That apparently was not a good question to ask he realized soon after a shadow coming over Ryohei's face and form tensing. From anger or something else, Tsuna wasn't sure.

"I died," Was the answer.

Tsuna could see that, but he refrained from voicing it. "But weren't their other members?"

"No, it was just my sister and me- well more me, she was my support." A nostalgic smile ghosted over his features, shoulders shaking, and eyes downturn. Guilt was already flooding him in waves Tsuna apologized.

"No, no, it's alright, it was my fault anyway," Ryohei laughed it of small and tight. "I was Extremely careless in a match and I died of a concussion. Coma first, then I just slipped." Silence followed after Ryohei twiddling the bandages wrapped around his hands. "I saw her crying," he started crumpling against the busted ring. "She screamed and yelled grasping at my bed sheets." Tsuna wanted to do something, but he didn't know what so he just leaned close the rope of the ring digging into his back.

"I never thought I would regret anything in life, but that made me want to start everything over just so I could see her face again." Ryohei was shaking eyes wide in remembrance Tsuna held him as he shook, petting and whispering that he was alright that things would get better. He didn't know if that was true if things could be better in the afterlife.

He swallowed hand petting the hair of the spirit next to him the standard cold shocking him to the bones."I don't think it was completely Onii-san's fault. You enjoyed it, didn't you?" He received a hesitant nod in return that pushed him on."Then if it was something Onii-san enjoyed then there's nothing wrong, you enjoyed with all your heart until the end and sometimes things happen but it's not your fault."

Ryohei looked like he was going to protest, but Tsuna stopped him with a look. "Your sister must have been a wonderful person cheering you on despite everything. I understand you feel guilty for leaving her so early, but that is fine, it gives them time to grow. She loved and I'm sure wouldn't want to see you like this over her."Tsuna finished Ryohei tucked close to him. The dingy room all but forgotten.

"You're right, she Extremely wouldn't like to see me like this. I'll go on just for her, just to see her smile."

This was alright, it was progress and Tsuna was helping.

The boxer trailed after him claiming that as his new Onii-san he would protect Tsuna. Today had been a good day, hopefully, Byakuran wouldn't flip it to the universe and back.

He was starting to come to terms with this being his life.
