A Nᴇᴡ Iɴғᴇʀɴᴏ [A KHR 1x1]

[Naegi 149]

 When the slide evened out Azumi let out a sigh of relief. When she noticed Alphonse's blue face she giggled, "Al you don't look so good." The ride wasn't over as the slide led right over to the edge of the ship giving you the view of the beautiful afternoon sun shining upon the Earth. Underneath the plastic see-through slide, the ocean could be seen below them. "Wow." Azumi's eyes glistened. 

 

_______________

 

 "11th! There are some sharp turns coming up, please hold on tightly." Takushi reported over the roar of the water. Clutching tightly onto the tube, the storm guardian body-blocked most of the water spraying in their faces as the tube turned sharply. That's when they saw the downward slope the other 3 guardians had encountered. Takushi's face fell. "It's going down!" 

 

_________________

 

 Nodding, Hiro hopped right into the spot in front of Usami and this time the lifeguard pushed them finally remembering his job. "Hang on Usami!" He yelled as they went down the slide. 

[Junko 2,815]

Junpei let go of Alphonse's scarf when the slide and water calmed down. "Woooah!" he breathed as Alphonse tried to catch his breath before looking out into the scenery. He heard roaring water again and looked to see that the slide opened up, a lot. Junpei leaned over Alphonse, the palm of his hand digging into his skull. "Is that a...funnel?" he asked before their tube slid right into it. The tube was being pushed around and around in the water before dumping down into a small dark tunnel through a hole. All that could be heard from the inside was screaming. Lot of it. Finally, they came to the end of the ride. "That was awesome! Let's go again." He cheered as he kicked himself off on Alphonse and Azumi. Alphonse stumbled out of the tube, his head feeling heavy. "I'm done for today.." 

Meanwhile

Claude's upper body jerked backwards from the drop, almost losing his grip on the tube. The tube literally made a huge splash into the water before evening out and sliding over to the edge of the cruise ship. The three others were not too far ahead of them. Lifting his head up, feeling worn out from the rough water slide, Claude opened an eye to see the clear sky and glanced down to see the ocean right below them. "Woah, the view looks gre-" There went the sound of raging waters again. Claude glanced over to see that the slide opened up a lot. "..Eh?!" Takushi and Claude's tube was rushed into the funnel like drain, the water raging like before. Like Azumi, Alphone and Junpei, their tube was dumped into a hole and down a dark tunnel. Minutes passed by before they reappeared again at the end of the slide. Claude's face white as his body slipped into the water. A shadow appeared over him and his eyes looked up to see that it was Reborn but in swimwear; his hat was off also, revealing his somewhat spiky hair. "What kind of Vongola boss an't handle something like this?" "I-I told you, I'm not becoming the next boss!" Reborn seemed to disregard that when Hiro and Usami flew out of the end of the tunnel. Usami landed on top of Claude and he grunted from her weight on him. She was dizzy and was muttering a few things that were barely audible. 

 

 

[Naegi 149]

 Azumi frowned when Junpei metioned a funnel. "What's a funnel?" Before he could answer, the three found themselves at a typhoon-like ride that dropped them into a hole. Shouting with glee, they reached the end of the slide. Hearing Junpei wanting to go again she nodded excitedly agreeing with Junpei for once. "Yes we should!" "I think that's enough for the day, we're all wiped out from that slide." Hiro laughed as he jumped off the tube. "11th! Get off of him!" Takushi yelled as he lifted Usami off of Claude and setting her lying on a beach chair. Looking up from Claude's comment about not wanting to become the next boss the rain guardian smiled. "But being the boss sounds fun Claude!" The sun guardian hopped over, hearing their conversation, "If we could do something like this most of the time, ya know playing around then it's worth it right?" The storm guardian crossed his arms, "Tch, mafia is not all about playing around. It could get damn serious." 

[Junko 2,815]

"But still..." Claude muttered as he glanced down. He wasn't adapting to the whole mafia idea so quickly like everybody else was. Reborn stared down at him before karate shopping his head.  "But nothing. Now why don't we head back to the rooms for a bit. Some of your friends are already worn out." Claude raised his eyebrows and looked past Reborn to see that Alphonse looked tired and Usami was still dizzy. Sonya moved off of her chair and picked Usami up onto her back. "Agreed." "But you didn't do anything" He was ignored and she started making her way down the side of the pool and too the inside of the boat. While she was walking, that same shady kid from early was sitting nearby with some headphones in. They were both making eye contact as Sonya passed by; she glared at him before turning her head forward and walking off. Claude eventually got out of the pool and Alphonse managed to get up and the rest of them made their way back to their rooms

[Naegi 149]

======Several Days Later======

 

 Takushi found himself running in complete darkness. Why is he running? The voices of his parents echoed in his head as they never seem to leave him no matter how far he ran. "Become the guardian for one of the 11th's Vongola Boss candidates. Get close to him and make sure he succeeds to become the next boss." His dad's rough voice showed amusement. "Of course if you can." There was a chuckle, it was from his mom. "Shut up," Takushi growled silently. 'How far do I have to go?' He thought. "Oh and one last thing before you go," Takushi's father said. The storm guardian felt his body tense, he remembered that he was about to leave when his father told him about one last mission. "If you do manage to accomplish all this then you have to...." Suddenly a horn blared in his ear drums and Takushi blinked. "Huh?" 

 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

 

 The sound of the horn from the ship shattered the storm guardian's dream as Takushi slowly opened his eyes letting the sunlight seep in. "Good morning passengers! We have just arrived at Mafia Land with a beautiful weather today! We will be staying here all week so take your time and enjoy the sites!" When the intercom hanged up, the tired Takushi jumped off the bed and started heading to the bathroom. 'Damn another nightmare.' He rubbed his eyes as he entered the living room. Then to the storm guardian's surprise, he found Hiro already fully dressed drinking a water bottle. "How did you get ready so fast?" Takushi stuttered. Hiro widened his eyes noticing his presence, "Oh good morning Takushi! I woke up early for a jog with Azumi." His eyebrow twitched, "Of course..." Takushi shook his head, "Whatever, we all need to get ready anyway." Pushing pass Hiro Takushi entered the bathroom slamming the door shut.

 "Mafiaaa Lannnddd!" Azumi shouted as she kicked opened the door. She hopped over to the curtains and pushed them aside staring at the island. "Oi lets goo!" She clapped.

A loud door slam woke the brunette from his slumber. He opened one eye and glanced towards the circle window to see that there was land in sight. He lifted his head up and rubbed his eyes. (We're here already? Augh, my head hurts.) Claude leaned over his bed to see that Junpei fell off and was snoozing on the floor, although he didn't bother to try and wake him up. He looked up and to the door to see that Alphonse was already done and dressed up. "How are you done so soon?" "I woke up earlier. Besides, Takushi in in the bathroom so you're gonna have to wait for a bit." Claude simply nodded. It was so strange to him talking to Alphonse. He sounded so blunt about everything that it just sounded, weird now.

Meanwhile

Sonya threw a pillow hard at Azumi's face. She placed another on over her head. She muttered something under her breath before moving off of the bed and into the bathroom. Sonya was not a morning person. Usami sat at one of the tables, eating away at some churros and donuts. She looked at the bathroom floor before looking to Azumi. "You should be getting really as well..." 

[Naegi 149]

 "Morning Claude and Alphonse." Hiro greeted. Inside the bathroom Takushi quickly washed his face, brushed his teeth, and steped out of the bathroom. Noticing Claude was waiting for him to use the bathroom Takushi started bowing. "Ah, I'm sorry 11th! I should've let you used the bathroom first!" 

 

________________ 

 

 Azumi was thrown back by the impact and fell on the floor despite the object being a pillow. When she removed the pillow there was a red mark on where she was hit in her face. "Ow that hurt!" She got up from the floor to see Usami eatting churros and donuts. "Well I already am," Gesturing to her outfit, she picked up a donut and took a bite. "I went jogging with Hiro earlier. Mmm this donut is really good." 

[Junko 2,815]

Claude rubbed the back of his head as he nervously laughed. "Hehe, no it's okay, really." he said as he slipped into the bathroom. In the meantime, Alphonse stared down at Junpei, still passed out on the ground. How could he be knocked out so badly like that? Perhaps he always slept that way. Alphonse inched his foot to the sleeping boy's face before Junpei immediately shot up from the floor. "WHAT TIME IS IT?!" Alphonse stared at him funny. The fact that he shouted that in English was even a bit more confusing for him but he pretty much understood what he said. "A little after 9. We're going to leave in a bit." "Is that soo...." He said as he lazily rubbed his eyes. He stood up from the floor, dry drool sitting on the side of his mouth and his curly blonde hair looked like a bit of a mess. Junpei yawned as he walked into the closet where he threw his clothes earlier. He stayed in there for a few minutes before walking out in some dark jeans and a dark turquoise t-shirt. "Ah...what are you idiots standing around here for let's....g-" He collasped back on the ground, asleep again.

Meanwhile

Usami's eyes flared up at the sight of Azumi grabbing one of her donuts, but she didn't say anything. She drew out a long sigh before taking a bite out of the churro in her hand. Sonya slammed the bathroom door open, leaving a bit of a dent in the wall. There was a rage look on her face before it quickly faded away. "Let's get off this boat shall we?" she said calmly before walking out of the room door. Usami stopped mid bite, her face purple from being nearly scared to death. 

[Naegi 149]

 Takushi walked over Junpei who was asleep and headed to the closet putting on his regular clothes. Meanwhile Hiro decided to check to see if the girls were ready. Walking out the door he nearly bumped right into Sonya backing off immediately feeling the deadly aura. "Oh looks like you're already ready to go." Hiro smiled sheepishly. Azumi, biting into the donut nodded and muffely said. "Are the boys still getting ready?" "Yea, they'll be here in a bit." He answered, 

[Junko 2,815]

A few minutes later, Claude emerged out of of the bathroom, dressed in dark pants and a baggyish dark green jacket with a white shirt under it. He nodded and the rest of them that were in the room proceeded to walk outside the room and into the hall. Alphonse was the last to walk out of the door, dragging Junpei by his legs, not bothering to try and wake him up. Sonya looked past Hiro and at the ground towards Junpei. She hummed a bit before walking over to his body. She raised her foot over his stomach before landing her foot hard on it. He let out a hard grunt before his eyes sprung open, a tear coming to his eye. "Sonya, you seem in a good mood this morning." Claude looked to see that was Reborn coming up from behind him. He placed a hand on the brunette's shoulder. She looked over at Reborn before moving her foot off of Junpei's stomach, him winching in pain as he climbed to his feet. "Never been better!" She tipped her hat on her head with her finger before walking past everyone and towards Reborn. There was a quick frown on her face before she walked off, motioning everyone to follow. Usami and Azumi emerged out from their room, hearing all the commotion before they witnessed Sonya walk off. Claude turned back as he watched her travel further and further down the hall. (Where is that guy...from a few days ago. He has to be part of that other mafia family) She gave out an annoyed sigh before walking further down the hall. 

[Naegi 149]

 The rain guardian sweatdropped. "She's pretty scary." He whispered. "A complete monster," Takushi muttered. Literally shaking in excitement, Azumi pointed at the door where passengers were exiting. "To Mafia Land!" When they arrived, everyone excluding Sonya and Reborn, felt their jaws drop at the amusement park before them. Screams could already be heard from the rollercoasters roaring by. "Amazing!" Hiro said. "Mafia Land, one of the best amusement parks in the mafia." The storm guardian stated. Azumi turned to Takushi with a confused look, "Wait, there's more amusement parks in the Mafia?" "Apparently so." He answered. Walking through the gates they began to get in line for a ride with Takushi making a way for them to cut in everyone by talking about the Vongola. After several rollarcoasters and barfing up, everyone was completely dizzy.

[Junko 2,815]

Claude felt worn out. His body all shaky from the jerking of the rides and his head was spinning. They had all went on the multiple rides at Maifa land, minusing Alphonse who just stayed put under the shade at a small table near a restaurant. He was done with rides after getting on with Azumi and Junpei on the water slide on the cruise. "..Come on you lazy bastards! A few more~!" Sonya cheered, her arm slung over Reborn's shoulder, who looked pretty fine even from going on most of the rides with them. Sonya looked as if she was about to fall over any minute now. How the hell did she want to continue? "..A-aga-in..!" Junpei was also dizzy but that didn't kill his mood to go on some more rides

Usami dragged her fingers through her curly brown hair from exhaustion before a scent caught her noise. She immediately looked up to see a small takoyaki shop sitting nearby. Without saying anything, she made her way over to the shop. When she reached the counter, she started scrambling in the pockets of her skirt for money. She pulled out a few dollar bills and frowned. "....not enough." She was about to put her money away when a hand appeared next to her with another bill in its hand. Usami looked up to see that it was from a guy with a slim figure, eating a few takoyakis on a skewer. She stared at him for a moment before taking the money. "..Thank you..." The male simply nodded before walking back to where he was sitting on a bench. There were bags stuffed with different kinds of snacks in there. Usami blinked before turning to the cashier to buy from him.

[Naegi 149]

 Azumi hobbled over to the table using it to steady herself. "We ne-ed to ride that Monstro ride a-again...it's sooo fun." Head pounding. Takushi crossed his arms. "Oh hell no we're not going to ride another rollar coaster." His stomach turned and the storm guardian nearly collasped. Surprisely, Hiro doesn't seem affected at all looking perfectly fine with no signs of dizziness. "Then how about we go to a ride that doesn't involve rollar coasters?" Takushi looked up at Hiro. "Like what?" Hiro checked his surroundings and spotted a House of Mirrors with a line not too long. He pointed at the house. "Like that." Azumi blinked as she read the sign for the ride. "What's a House of Mirrors?" "It's a house and inside there's alot of mirrors so it's kinda difficult to walk around but it's pretty fun." Hiro explained. The boxer shook her head, "I'll pass, I'd rather ride more rollar coasters." Takushi sighed, "Better than getting sick from rollar coasters so I guess I'll go." Hiro turned to Usami who was at a takoyaki shop. Calling out, Hiro said. "Oi Usami! You wanna come to the House of Mirrors with us?" 

[Junko 2,815]

"Ahaha screw that. Let's go young ones. They are waiting for our presence." Sonya hummed before looping her arms with Junpei's and Azumi's before nearly skipping off to another roller coaster that they have not touched yet. "Do you think that they'll be alright?" Claude asked only to get Alphonse shaking his head as a mere response. The young brunette looked over to Reborn to see that he was staring off somewhere, a bit uneasy. He was curious though as to what the hitman was thinking about. "Reborn?" It took a second before he could get a  response out of him. "Hmm?" He seemed to be better now so Claude dropped it all together. "Ah, forget about it." Reborn raised an eyebrow at him before noticing that Usami was coming back from the takoyaki with a few takoyakis on skewers, her teeth sinking into one of them. She was looking for the guy that lent her money earlier but it was like he just disappeared or something. How odd. Usami finished her takoyaki before speaking. "I guess I'll go..." "And Alphonse is mostly a neutral party unless stated otherwise so we're going now." Not too much upset about all of this, Alphonse simply shrugged his shoulder's at Reborn's verdict and the rest of them walked about the area for a while before a decorated building with many kinds of effects that simply screamed 'halloween' or ' haunted mansion'. Claude looked up at the building in front of him. It just reminded him of his embarrassing childhood that he would not like to discuss with anyone. Although, this one seemed less scary than the one that he went to when he was younger. He paused for a few minutes before giving a deep breath of relief and walking right inside. 

In there, where many different webby like things that passed for spider webs hanging from the ceilings and other types of designs having to revolve around this particular theme. "It's not that bad in here." he commented with a smile on his face. Usami ate the last of her takoyaki before looking to see that they were walking behind the small group. Well she was still with Alphonse, who was also walking slow, but they still haven't formed much of a conversation between one another. Maybe silence was the best way on bonding for them. The lighting in the area got dimmer and dimmer as they ventured in farther until they reached a part in the hallway of the building was opening up a bit. Reborn raised an eyebrows as his eyes darted around. He doesn't remember anything like this happening the last time he was here, so the the hell was going on?

There was a loud yawn from the ceiling and everyone looked back to see a red headed male sitting idly behind them from out of nowhere."...Hm? Aren't you people too old for a place like this? Oh that's right! The slow processing speeds of your brains may not even know where the hell you are right now." Another figure stepped out from the shadows in a hoodie. The stranger's eyes darted from each person present. When he was done, he gave out an annoyed sighed before taking a step back and placing a hand on the first stranger's shoulder. "How about you just take care of them on your own.." "Ehehe, you don't have to tell me twice." The first stranger pulled out something from the case he was carrying on his back, about the size of an instrument, only for it to ending being a sword of some sort and a big one. This was bad. Claude felt around for his pistols, only for him to remember that he left it in his room on the cruise. Same went for Usami and Alphonse.  The male with the sword gave a sly smirk before preparing to swing his blade down. 

[Naegi 149]

 "Stay back 11th!" Takushi yelled as he took out his crossbows from his backpack. Blocking the blade with one of his crossbows, he shot an arrow from his other bow. The stranger easily dodged it and began to press down even harder on the crossbow as beads of sweat started to come down on Takushi's forehead. 'He's strong.' "Who are you, and why are you attacking us?" The storm guardian jumped away allowing some distance from his oppoment. Hiro stared at the two strangers quite curious about what was going on too, thankfully he also brought his katana, just in case something crazy happens like right now.

[Junko 2,815]

The stranger raised an eyebrow as he placed his sword on his shoulder. "Huh? So you idiots really don't know what might occur in the next few days?" Confused faces crossed everyone's faces, except for Reborn who immediately spoke up. "Wait, you don't mean-" The stranger simply nodded as a grin crossed his face. "Mhmm. But it's not like I can wait any longer so I might as well make things a bit more easier for my boss and for me as well." "W-what do you mean by that? And what's going to happen a few days from now?" Usami said with a quiver in her voice. Her eyes were sitting on that sword the male was holding. It looked just about sharp to cut somebody's limb off. That probably could have happened to Takushi if he didn't get away. "That is none of your goddamn business. Well it won't be for long that is." His sword moved off of his shoulder so quickly. Within a second, the very tip of the blade touching the middle of Claude's neck. A small amount of blood started trickling down from where the blade made contact with his skin. Nobody moved, fearing the worse might happen if they did. His face was pale the whole time these two men showed up and he couldn't say a word. The stranger narrowed his eyebrows. "So you really are the pathetic excuse for a boss candidate. Were you really going to let yourself die by my hands?" He couldn't respond. His throat was coarse and dry. Beads of sweat began to make their way down the side of his face. The stranger gave out a chuckle before his blade moved off of Claude's throat and into the air a few inches from his neck. "It really wasn't nice knowing ya." The male said with a hint of madness in his voice before his sword moved fast towards Claude's neck.  Before it could make contact, a  shadow rushed past Claude's group and the blade was blocked with a shield prop that was sitting somewhere in the small building. Whatever amusement the stranger's face held suddenly slipped away. "What the hell..." Claude was just as surprised. Shakily, he turned his head to see that there was a woman with pink hair and dark skin blocking from the sword was going to hit him and possibly end his life right there. He couldn't even say thank you at this point. Death almost flashed before his eyes and he couldn't do anything. He was still scared of his mind now. He could hear Takushi try to shout something but Reborn probably stopped him now. The woman dropped the shield and revealed her face, which was covered with a black eye mask. The stranger's accomplice who was just sitting in the shadows with his hoodie up suddenly stepped up, surprised. "Just who the hell are you." he said with a growl in his voice. The woman's face, however remained unchanged from her neutral expression. "I am from the Cerevello organization and currently under the Vongola Familiga. Such motives are not allowed before the Ring Conflict is to take place." "R-ring....conflict...?" "What is that exactly?" "More details having to do with the Ring Conflict will be explained later." The woman turned to the other two, who appeared to be pissed now from her sudden presence. "Storm Guardian, Lukas Forze and Rain Guardian Danet Jean from Riviello, leave immediately or else you will be disqualified." A snicker escaped Lukas's lips as he his back to them, his sword slipping back into its sheathe that was sitting on his back. "Hmph, the damn bastard was a waste of my time trying to kill anyways. Danet, let's go." The man in the hoodie, Danet, gave one last look at them before turning and walking off behind Lukas. The soon disappeared and tension seemed lighten up. The woman was the first to speak. "You said that you were not aware of the Ring Conflict, am I correct?" Claude simply nodded. The woman looked over to Reborn. "From data that has been gather about you, you have been through this before with Vongola Decimo. If it isn't any trouble, you shall be giving Vongola Undicesimo and his guardians the basics on the Ring Conflict. More information will be given as the battle comes near." And with that, she turned on her heels and walked out in the direction Lukas and Dane took. Alphonse slipped his hands into his pocket. He was looking a little bit out of ease for once. "Perhaps we should go meet up with the other three to tell them about this." Nobody objected. They all made their way out of the House of Mirrors and soon saw Azumi, Junpei and Sonya on a bench. They all looked worn out. Sonya looked up and gave a tried smile. "Back already? That's great because Junpei and Azumi we-" The sight of blood on Claude's throat immediately got Sonya into full on alert mode and she shot up from the bench. She walked up to him and looked closer to see that there was a small dash cut on his throat. "W-what's wrong? Oh this? It's nothing really. I just-" "Don't try to play that bullshit with me Claude. You guys were confronted weren't you?" They were all silent. "Eh? What's wrong? Cloud was probably being weird again and his skin busted open or something...." Junpei said, which he then received weird looks for. "I thought this would happen much later on from now but I guess they were tired of waiting. A new battle is approaching. It's time I told you about the Ring Conflict."

 Azumi did a light punch at Junpei's head for his stupidity and stared at the group, "Confronted?" The rain guardian scratched his head with a nervous tone, "We kinda got attacked but this pink haired girl stopped it and said something about this ring conflict." Takushi's face was dark as his fists tightened. "Those firetrucking bastards, trying to kill 11th.  I swear they'll pay." The sun guardian cocked her head as she turned to the depressed storm guardian. "Whoa they tried to kill Claude?" He pointed at Claude's neck where Sonya was checking furiously. When Reborn mentioned about talking to them about the ring conflict, everyone's interest was caught. "The Ring Conflict?" 

 

[Junko 2,815]

"...Or perhaps we should discuss this in a more private place." Reborn muttered at he glanced around at the various people roaming about. He gestured for the rest of them to follow him. They arrived at an empty cafe shop and they were sitting at round table big enough for all of them to fit in. Claude's small cut on his throat was tied up with a white bandage going around his neck. All eyes were on Reborn, except for Junpei who had his head sitting on the table and staring out of the window, not grasping the kind of situation that they were in. Reborn placed his hat on the table, revealing his spiky hair. "Being the future Vongola boss and its guardians, something called the Vongola Rings are passed down to you. Although you will only be getting half of the rings." He reached down to pull something out of his pocket and set it on the table. It was a small box. He opened it to reveal the half Vongola rings. "Why are they.....split up like that?" "The boss candidate and his guardians of Riviello has the other half of the rings. The point of the Ring Conflict is to battle it out to win the other half of the ring for it to be complete. For now you can hold on to your ring attribute." Each one of them reached out to the box and picked out their ring. Suddenly catching a bit of interest, Junpei looked over to see one ring left sitting in the box. A small grin crossed his face as he reached for it. "Lose that ring and you'll be hospitalized for life." Sonya said with an innocent grin which made Junpei die a little inside. He took his ring and slipped it onto his finger as he weakly nodded towards her. Claude stared at the half ring in his hand before fiddling in his shirt to find the small chain that he wears often but has nothing on it. He took it off and slipped his ring onto it before placing it back on his neck. Usami stared at the ring on her finger, as did Alphonse.

[Naegi 149]

 "A battle huh?" Hiro twirled the ring on his finger. "Sounds like fun." "Fun?! Those guys are obviously strong, and the fact there's more people like them," Takushi gritted his teeth. "How are we going to win?" His hand clutched his attribute ring feeling the cold smooth metal. 'I knew it, becoming an official guardian is not easy.' Azumi slipped the ring on her ring finger before roaring out, "We win by training like crazy before the battle!" She paused, "How many days do we have before the battle?" Takushi crossed his arms as he grunted. "If we train by ourselves it's never going to work. Claude can be trained by Reborn but he can't train all of us." "I got my dad who can train me. I'm pretty sure I could get some online face cam so we can communicate." Hiro said. "That solves you but what about the rest of us?" 

[Junko 2,815]

"I'll be working with you . Oh, we're going to have so much fun together!" Sonya said to Takushi. "Azumi you will be partnered up with a certain someone that I know. he's on this island but we'll see him soon." Reborn turned his attention over to Usami and she immediately sat up straight. "Kaede will come to help you Usami." "...W-what?!" Reborn simply nodded 'yes'. "But of all people, why the hell would you invite him back to see us, nevertheless, train us?" "You didn't noticed that Claude actually managed to talk some sense into him? He's probably a different person now." "Probably?"  Reborn waved him off. "She'll be fine. As for Alphonse and Junpei, you twp are training together." "I dont mind any of the others by why am  stuck with the joker?" "Hey! I'll have you know that I can kick ass." "Hmph, anyways.training will only last for a few days before the actual Ring Conflict. After that, the cerevello will explain themselves.The order in which you fight is randomized but who you're fighting up against is already predetermine. It all goes by your attribute. Like Takushi for example. He will be fighitng that guy Lukas since he's a storm attribute."  "Any questions then?"

[Naegi 149]

 "W-what? You?!" Takushi backed away from Sonya knowing how fierce she is. 'She's gonna teach me?!' He thought. When Reborn told them about Takushi going up against the guy he fought earler his anger boiled wanting to aveage Claude for trying to kill him. Azumi shaked in curiousity. "Who is it?" Suddenly the door opened and in walked a blonde man with an open green jacket, soldier pants, a handkercheif around his forheard with a 01 pin, and an anti-tank rifle strapped to his back. "Oi Reborn! Who's this person you want me to train, korra!" While this was going on, Usami began to see ghosts that she haven't seen a while dance around in her visions. She started to freak out when the ghosts uruptly vanished and Kaede took their place. It seems Usami was the only one who could see or hear him as he spoke, "Hello Usami, Reborn is right about me training you. After all." He looked away. "I owe Vongola." Twirling his scythe he walked closer to Usami. "It's a good thing I had a creature that could link minds so I could communicate with them all the way from Vendince Prison."

"Of course. I'll be sure to toughen you up in order to take that other storm guardian candidate down." A n eerie aura came to her eyes. "There's nothing to worry about." Junpei frowned at this. "Why don't  get my own special personal trainer, huh? Am I too good enough for that that you're sticking me with him?" He complained as he pointed a finger to Alphonse, who looked over to him at the sound of his name, before slouching back and crossing his arms. "Colonello." Reborn said as the man came in and walked towards the table that they sitting at. Claude turned his head at the sound of his voice and felt a bit intimidated. The fact that the guy had a rifle with him was enough to scare anyone. Claude turned around and sunk down into his seat a little bit. "You will be taking on Azumi as your student to get her prepared for the upcoming battle against Riviello." He gave a small smirk. "Although I haven't seen you in a long time since that incident involving Vongola Decimo and Vindice." Claude cocked his head to the side in curiosity. (Those two are that close or something?) While everyone was conversating, Usami couldn't focus much on the discussion, just what was staring her in the face. (Kaede....) The bad bite wound that she received from one of his illusion animals caused a tinge of pain to surface up. Her fists tightened up in her lap. She didn't really know where to start. (...How exactly are you going to help me in the state that you're in?) Was the only question she could think to him. Alphonse looked over at Azumi to see she was staring into space, her eyes semi wide and mouth slightly open, as if in shock. He lifted a hand and waved it over her face but got no response. Reborn noticed this from the corner of his eye and looked towards the two. "So it seems that Kaede has arrived." "What are you talking about? I don't see anyone else around here...." "Kaede is speaking to Usami from her mind since he is still currently locked up in the Vendicare prison." Claude eyes filled with surprised as he leaned over the table to look at Usami to see that her eyes looked a bit empty again like before when she was seeing things that nobody else could. "Might as well leave those two to their conversation."

Takushi blinked looking at this whole new scary Sonya. "Err that's good...I guess." Staring at the scene between Sonya and Takushi, Hiro chuckled with his hands behind his head. "You're really lucky Takushi to have a personal trainer." The storm guardian turned to Hiro with a 'shut up' face. Colonello grinned, "Man it's been years, korra!" He turned to Azumi who was looking up at him with a bright face. "So you're the sun guardian?" She nodded rapidly, "Yes sirr I'm Azumi, I like meat especiually chicken, I excercise daily, beaten up a couple guys, and I'm a boxer!" She saluted. Colonello let out an amused smirk. "You're almost like an old student of mine. He's also a sun guardian." He gestured to the door. "You know there's a training room at the bottom of Mafia Land? It'll be the perfect place to train, korra." Meanwhile Kaede continued to talk to Usami. "Don't fear, there's a reason why you can see my ghosts so easily," He smiled. "It's because you too can communicate with other dimensions."

Sonya planted her hands on her hips, a determined look crossed her face. "Alright, enough idle chit chat and let's get to work Tasushi. Be sure to go to your room on the boat and get your crossbows. I'll be waiting at the training room. Reborn or Colonello should show you where it is if you don't know." The small wordplay on words with his name probably pissed him off but Sonya just turned on her foot and walked towards the door. "Good luck on your training guys~!" She cheered before walking out of the door. Alphonse sat back in his seat and closed his eyes. "I guess Junpei and I will follow you guys to this training room since I don't know my way around mafia land." He opened one eyes and looked at Reborn. "How do you intend to train Claude?" He gave a slight smirk. "I have my own methods of course so don't worry about that." Hearing that made Claude's heart sink a little bit. Meanwhile, Usami was still staring ahead at Kaede. (Communicate with other dimensions? I ...don't understand. And where are we going to train?) Her head kept flooding with questions but she wasn't sure if Kaede was going to be able to answer all of them for her. Reborn finally stood up from the table.  "So, shall we get going then?"

 When Sonya walked out of the door Takushi gritted his teeth. "Damn her, I highly doubt I'll learn anything from her." Already having his weapons in his backpack, he headed out the door after Sonya. While Kaede gave out an amused smile, he said. "You will understand when I train you. As for where," He gestured at Claude's group. "It seems they already have that covered. I will wait for you there Usami." And like that, Kaede disappeared like mist. "Alright, lets go, korra!" Colonello said as he too went out the door as everyone got up and followed him. Noticing Usami back into attention Hiro called out to her, "Come on Usami!" When they left the cafe, Colonello headed down a path behind a couple of brushes and walked up to a small building that looked like a plain shelter. "What's the point of hiding it when everyone here is part of the mafia?" Takushi scoffed. Colonello scratched his head, "Children gets really excited and try to sneak in. Causes alot of lost kids, korra." Taking off a loose brink hanging on the wall, it revealed a panel with numbers. The blonde quickly pressed numbers too quick for anyone to keep up as the door to the building opened up showing a glass elevator big enough to fit everyone. When everyone got into the elevator, the door closed and the elevator started moving down.
