A Nᴇᴡ Iɴғᴇʀɴᴏ [A KHR 1x1]

[Junko 2,815]

"...Uh." Claude drew a blank . He didn't really know how to respond to this. He was silent for a few moments before saying "I don't think we need all of that...are you feeling okay?" Sonya scoffed. "He's just worried about your safety, that's all." (But what did I do to get him like that?!)  Usami silently giggled behind Hiro at them. She heard footsteps coming in their direction and looked over to see that it was Azumi, Alphonse and Junpei. Junpei suddenly became wide awake when he saw Usami and got out of Azumi's grip and went over to her. When he reached her, Junpei stuck out his palm and Usami looked down at it, confused. Junpei grumbled. "You owe me money from last night, rememeber?!" "....Oh right." Usami said as she reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a dollar. She placed it in Junpei's palm and he frowned. "I believe it was more than that." Usami raised an eyebrow at him before turning to walk away from Junpei. 'H-he you get back here. Al, do something!" "What. You can't handle a girl that can't fight like Azumi. How sad." Junpei frowned as he felt his eyebrow twitch. He felt his pride getting crushed fast. 

[Naegi 149]

 Takushi smiled, "If you say so and I'm feeling perfectly fine, thanks for asking 11th!" The storm guardian began throwing most of the suitcases away somewhere over someone's fence. Azumi glared and pointed at Takushi, "Was he like this yesterday?" Hiro shrugged, "He said something about becoming Claude's right hand man," The boxer blinked, "I don't get it." Getting tired of explaining it Takushi answered, "I'm gonna be his most trusted guardian." Azumi started nodding slowly putting the puzzles together, "...Ahhh." "You didn't have to think about it was pretty straight forward!" Takushi yelled. As the two began to argue, Hiro turned to Usami who went some distances away from Junpei. "Do you owe him something?" He asked. Azumi just finishing her little quarrel with Takushi teased. "Cmon Junpei I thought you were better than that!" 

[Junko 2,815]

Sonya sighed, getting bored of their little bickering and placed one hand on her hip and the other on Claude's head. "If you all are done, I would like to get a move on now. Reborn is waiting for us at the docks." "H-hey! Get yo-" Her grip on his head only got tighter and Claude feeling the pain now. Ignoring his attempts to release her hand, Sonya gave a grin before letting go and walking on ahead. Claude rubbed his head before saying "We should probably get going...." and hurried off to catch up to her. The rest of the group have seemed to calm down and followed after. After what felt like a while, the scent of sea water filled the air. There was a sort of cruise line now visible next to a docking area. Waiting on the docks was a familiar figure. "Reborn?" Reborn turned around to see that everyone has arrive. He seemed please. Junpei cocked his head to the side and pointed at his head. "What's with the lizard on your hat?" "Lizard...?" He placed his hand to his hat for the small animal to crawl down onto his fingers. "He's a chameleon. And the name's Leon." "He was never on your hat before so why is he there now?" Reborn gave a small smirk and Leon stated glowing before changing into a gun. Claude immediately jumped backwards, almost stumbling on his butt. "Leon has been in this form ever since we've met. He's also the one responsible for creating your weapons Claude." "So...you mean that green ball of light was..?" "Yes." Leon changed back into his animal form and crawled his way up Reborn's shoulder and to the top of his hat where he once was before. 

[Naegi 149]

 Hiro laughed, "Leon huh? Where can you get one of those?" Meanwhile at the dock Azumi's curiousity began to shine. "Wow the cruise is so hugeee!" She squealed as she had to crane her neck in order to see the top. Turning to the group she pointed at the ship. "I never knew cruise ships were this big!" Hopping over to one of the staffs she yelled right in their ears, "What do you do in such gigantic ship?" The staff blinked trying to get their hearing back and plastered a fake smile, "Well you could do multiple things like swimming in the pool, eatting our delicious gourment food, or take in the salty breeze!" Her eyes sparkled and rushed back to her mafia family. "Hey did you hear what he said? We can do alot of things." "Tch, you're way too excited for this." Takushi folded his arms. His eyes were scanning the deck for any suspicious people as citizens piled onto the ship. "11th, no one looks like they're planning to assasinate you so I think we're safe." The storm guardian reported. "Assasinate? Are we playing a game now?" The rain guardian questioned.  

[Junko 2,815]

Reborn sighed. "Leon is not something you can simply buy." Claude felt nervousness fill into his head. "A-Assassinate?!" "Yeah, you know like when people are trying to kill you." "D-don't say it so casually!" The sound of a horn went off, coming from the boat. Sonya slipped her shades on her eyes. "Time to go~!" She turned to Reborn, tilting her shades down a bit. "Just so you know, I am not  helping you babysit." "Don't worry about it. I have it all under control here." Sonya gave him one last glare before walking up the stairs and onto the boat, the rest following after. When they got up, it looked somewhat like a resort. The boat started moving and Junpei's face went purple. "Oh no..it's back again.." he muttered as he leaned on Alphonse. Usami looked up at him. "Are you hungry?" "No goddamit!" Alphonse sighed. "Sea sickness. Why didn't you mention that before coming here?" "I..thought....it went....awa-" He couldn't finish his sentence. Junpei slapped his hand over his mouth as he broke out at a run for the nearest bathroom. 

[Naegi 149]

 Azumi stared at Junpei as he ran toward the bathroom not effected by the ship moving at all. She turned to Alphonse, "Is he gonna be like that throughout the trip?" Takushi facepalmed at the fact the lightning guardian didn't mention his sea sickness. 'What a dumbass, he's going to be sick the whole time on this ship.' The group continued to chat and play around until a bell boy walked up to them in a fancy fashion. "Welcome to our lovely cruise ship! I am Lorenzo and I will be showing you your rooms." Lorenzo looked at Reborn and his eyes widen obviously knowing him. "Ah the famous hitman Reborn!" Then his eyes went down and rested on Claude. "And you must be one of the candidates for being the next Vongola boss, Claude Sato." He bowed extremely low. "It's an honor to have you aboard on our ship," Lorenzo glanced at the group, "And your guardians." Takushi grinned liking the attention the bell boy is giving them. "This ship is owned by the mafia correct?" The bell boy nodded, "Yes, the people in this ship are from hundreds of different mafia families" 

[Junko 2,815]

Alphonse shrugged and shook his head. "Maybe." Claude's eyes widened a bit at the bellboy. "How do you know my name??" "You're one of the boss candidates for the Vongola family." Usami looked up at Reborn, confused. "There's other people trying to become the next Vongola boss?" "Of course." "Then how will we know that Claude will become the next boss?" "You'll find that out soon enough." The group, minus Junpei and Sonya, who ran off somewhere, were leaded inside and into a hallway where all of the rooms where. Claude stopped in his tracks and looked at who was present. How were they going to group everyone? Usami and Azumi were the only two girls with Sonya and the rest of us were guys. Plus seeing how reckless Junpei was.... Claude's eyebrow twitched in nervousness. (T-this is going to be a long trip.) 

Meanwhile

Junpei was hanging onto Sonya's beach chair, slouched over, his face a shade of purple. Sonya removed the ice pop hat she had sitting in her mouth. "Aw, your sea sickness is that bad that you can't even stand~" "S-shut U-up!" he managed to say before staggering up to his feet. A small jerk of the boat that most people would not notice suddenly happened and Junpei staggered backwards, holding his mouth before bumping into somebody from behind. Junpei turned around, his hand still covered over his mouth and looked like a mess. The guy he bumped into turned around and raised an eyebrow. For a moment he didn't say anything. A cunning smirk came across the guy's face and he swung his arm over Junpei's shoulder, causing him to shake Junpei. "Ahaha, my bad! I didn't see where I was going. You don't look so good buddy. What's your name?" "J-j-jun-" "Junpei Onnea, right?" Junpei nodded his head slightly. Sonya, viewing all of this from a distance, narrowed her eyebrows. Something about that guy seemed off to her. "You and your wanna-be Vongola family isn't going to last that long..." he said at a whisper and got off Junpei, appearing cheerful again. "Well, nice meeting you Junpei. See you later okay?" He flashed another ominous look at Junpei before smiling and walking away. Junpei was too ill to comprehend what just happened. All he could do was watch as the boy walked away.

[Naegi 149]

 Lorenzo stopped in front of a door with the room number labeled: 149. "This will be where the ladies are staying." He handed Usami and Azumi a key card and an extra one for Sonya to Azumi. Unable to contain her excitment, the sun guardian smashed the key card right into the lock causing the bell boy to wince a bit as Azumi managed to open the door. "Whoaaaaaaaaaa!" She shouted as she went inside. Hiro also looked inside quite curious what the room looks like. Room wasn't really the proper way to say it, more like a rich apartment. There were multiple rooms 3 in total with 2 full bathrooms which were the size of master bathrooms. The kitchen was also big with a small counter and shiny granite counter tops. "Is this what it feels like to be rich?" Azumi asked herself. "Oy knuckle head! You can go back to your room later, you have to make sure you know where our rooms are!" Takushi yelled from outside. 

 Even though she didn't want to leave the room, she did what Takushi commanded and sulked back outside. Lorenzo who was waiting patiently the whole time cleared his throat. "Anyway, I shall now show where the men willl be staying." It didn't really take long since all their rooms are in the same hallway as they only walked 5 doors down to the right, making their stop at the door number: 154. He bowed as he handed the key cards to the boys. "I hope you will all enjoy your rooms." Hiro raised his eyebrow noticing Reborn not getting one. "Is Reborn not staying with us?" Lorenzo smiled, "No, Reborn has his own room just 3 rooms away and it's actually one of the biggest ones." Takushi sweatdropped, 'He gets the biggest room even though it's just one person?!' 

 Hiro turned to the door gripping his key card in his hand. "Can we go in?" "Yes but let the 11th go in first." Takushi scoffed. Nodding, the rain guardian calmly slided the key card right into the lock and the light beeped as it flashed green. The storm guardian grabbed the door knob and opened the door moving out of the way. "You first 11th." 

[Junko 2,815]

Usami stood there for a moment before walking into the room behind the hyper Azumi. She dropped her bag next to one of the beds. "Azumi..I think you should calm down..." Claude watched as the door to the girls' closed and he turned back to where he would be rooming. He gave Takushi a small smile before walking inside, the rest of the guys walking in after him. It was just as Azumi said, or rather yelled, the room did look very luxurious. He placed his bag down and walked deeper into the room. All he could do was stare. Alphonse walked in after Takushi and Hiro, and glanced around. He was impressed with the room but he didn't really seem to show it through his face expression. Reborn tipped his hat, still standing outside the door. "You guys have fun settling in. Be sure to come out when you're ready." He said before closing the door. Sonya and Junpei came down the hall, with Sonya holding Junpei with his arm slung over her shoulder. Reborn looked to see that they were coming towards him and slipped his hands into his pockets. "I thought you weren't going to do any baby sitting like you said." Sonya glared at him before leading Junpei to his room he was staying at with the others and Junpei stumbled in with his bag. Sonya closed the door and looked towards Reborn. "It appears that the other boss candidate is on the cruise along with us." Reborn raised an eyebrow, interested in her sudden news. "One of the boss candidate's guardians came in contact with Junpei. He seems shady to me." "Just keep your eyes out for anything. You're rooming with Usami and Azumi." Reborn said and gestured over to the door on his right. Sonya frowned. "The sweet tooth I can deal with but Azumi?" "Have fun." Reborn said as he walked down the hall. Sonya gave one last glare before disappearing into the room.

[Naegi 149]

 "B-but I can't, I've never been to a room this huge." Azumi dropped her heavy looking suitcase on the floor with a thud and jumped headfirst into the bed sighing at the feel of the soft blankets. Then noticing a circled window, she peered out to see the sea crashing below them with the smell of salt hitting her nose. Suddenly the door opened and Sonya walked in. "Hey Sonya! This place is beautiful isn't it?" Azumi tugged on her wrist as she gave her a quick tour of their room. 'When I grow up I'm going to buy a cruise ship!' She thought. 

 

 Hiro turned to see Junpei stumble into their room, "Oh you feeling better Junpei?" He was comepletly ignoring the fact that the lightning guardian's face was still green. Ignoring the two idiots, Takushi began to unpack his bag putting his things in a neat organization into the drawers. "11th, I'll unpack your bag." Before Claude could protest, he unzipped his bag taking things out one by one. He didn't even flinch when he folded Claude's boxers and put it into a seperate drawer. Meanwhile Hiro dumped all the clothes from his bag and stuffed it into a closet. "What are you doing you baseball idiot?" Takushi growled. The rain guardian shrugged, "Folding takes a lot of time," 

[Junko 2,815]

Usami sat there on the bed as she watched Azumi dragging Sonya around the room. All she could really do was watch really. She looked out towards where the circle window was sitting. It was her first time on a cruise. She wanted to go exploring around a bit. "Hey, Azumi...Sonya. Shouldn't we, uh, go hang out..or something " She sounded a bit awkward. Sonya finally got her arm out of Azumi's tight grip and looked towards Usami. "Heh, well if you want then sure. Azumi, are you going to stop fangirling over our room and come along with us? Where do you guys want to go?" 

"U-uh..UH Takushi?!" Claude said as Takushi was casually rummaging though his belonging. His face went a bit red in embarrassment.  Junpei laid down on one of the bed, laying upwards, his face still green. Alphonse stared down at him from the other side of the bed before reaching into his bag and pulled out a pill and bottled water. He gestured it to him and Junpei stared at it before popping the pill in his mouth and drinking some of the water. It took a minute for the color of his face to change back to normal and he shot up. "I'm all better..? Al you're a life saver!" he said as he jumped to glomp the other male only for Alphonse to suddenly stick his hand up, pushing Junpei back by his face. Junpei moaned a bit before giving up and turning to look at the others. He crossed his arms with a smirk. "Heh, I never knew Cloud has a maid.." 

 

[Naegi 149]

 "Ermm yep I'm done fangirling." Azumi pondered for a bit on where she wanted to go. She thought back to the staff she talked to at the docks, and remembered the staff talking about a pool. "Ooo! We should go swimming at the pool!" Jogging over to her suitcase, Azumi took out a yellow bikini with white polka dots. "I brought my bikini and we could also invite the guys too if you want." 

 

______________
 

 Takushi's eyebrow twitched as his face grew dark, "Did you just call me a maid?" Suddenly he got up getting ready to kick the hell out of Junpei, but Hiro walked in front of him. "Calm down Takushi, he's only joking." "Like hell he's joking! Look at him making that smug face!" The storm guardian yelled. Just as Takushi was taking out his crossbows, a knock on the door interuppted the fight. Hiro opened the door to see Azumi wearing sunglasses on top of her head with a beach bag hanging on her shoulder. "Heyy we're about to go swimming in the pool, wanna come?" Hiro grinned and turned to the boys. "Lets go!" Takushi folded his arms, "If 11th wants to."

[Junko 2,815]

Sonya crossed her arms with a smug. "Heh, one step ahead of you. My bathing suit is already under my clothes. Usami you should go change." Usami wasn't really one for swimming but since they were on vacation, it didn't hurt to go. Luckly, she brought a two piece striped bathing suit just in case she needed it.

Junpei stood there as Takushi was about ready to attack him, chuckling to himself. Claude was about to speak up and say something when there was a knock on the door. Hiro opened the door to see that it was Azumi in a bikini. Claude couldn't help but stare. She's never seen her wearing an outfit like that before, hell he has never seen a girl dressed like that before. The sad life of Claude Sato... Usami peeked her head from behind Azumi, appearing to be somewhat embarrassed wearing her swim suit. "Ha! Azumi you look like a total dork! But I'm coming along." Junpei went to grab his bathing suit and change into them. Alphonse moved off the bed and went to change as well. When he came back, he was in black swimming pants and his scarf was still around his neck. Junpei came back as well and looked over at Alphonse. "Um, aren't you forgetting something?" he said, pointing at his neck. Alphonse shook his head and Junpei shrugged. "O-okay...I might as well come." Claude said and would have gone to go change as well if he only knew where Takushi placed all of his stuff.

[Naegi 149]

 Takushi and Hiro didn't seem surprise at Azumi to be wearing a bikini as she glared at Junpei, her eyes throwing daggers. "Heyyy! I don't look like a dork!" She tried to approach him but Usami and Sonya pulled her back and closed the door allowing the guys to change. "Its been awhile since I've last swim in a pool." Hiro commented as he stepped out from the room wearing dark blue swimming trunks. When he saw Alphonse still wearing the scarf he cocked his head, "Isn't that scarf going to get wet though?" Meanwhile Takushi walked up to a drawer and opened it gesturing Claude to come over. "11th, your swimming pants is in here." As Claude changed, the storm guardian also undressed and put on red swimming pants. 

 The sun guardian banged on the door, "Oyyyyyy are you guys done?" 

[Junko 2,815]

Alphonse pulled his scarf down a bit from above his mouth, glancing away from Hiro. "It's not like I'm planing to go in the water." He probably confused Hiro but at the same time, he didn't really care. Claude was standing in his swimwear next to Takushi. Claude's trying his hardest to get used to Takushi's new behavior but it's taking a bit to sink in. "We're ready..." he said, obviously not used to wearing these kind of clothes in front of other people or just in general. Alphonse nodded and opened up the door to see that Azumi was still struggling to get out of Sonya and Usami's grip. "Argh...stop being so damn restless!" Sonya complained. Usami couldn't hold onto her any longer and had to let go. Azumi was just too strong for her. "So, you had to restrain the beast huh?" he said to Sonya and Azumi was going to try and lash at him again before Sonya picked her up and over her shoulder. She sighed. "Alright, let's get going before she ends up hurting somebody." And with that, Soya proceeded down the hall with Azumi kicking to get out of Sonya's hold on her. Claude stood there for a moment, staring at what he just witnessed before walking down the hall, everyone following

[Naegi 149]

 "Put me down Sonya!" Azumi kicked and punched but she didn't do it that hard, she doesn't want to end up knocking Sonya unconsious. They arrived outside where the pool was located and Takushi whistled at the beauty. The pool was extremely large about half a size of a soccer field. The water was clear and it was obviously clean. However the best part was a huge waterslide in the middle that runs all around the ship while riding a tube. Mafia familes sunbathed on the seats while others splashed or swam in the pools. When Sonya put Azumi down she almosted fainted at the size. "All right, we're going to have so much freaking fun!" She roared as she pumped her fist in the air. "That waterslide looks really amazing. Anyone interested?" Hiro asked. The sun guardian turned to Hiro. "No, the waterslide is the finale but for now..." She faced the pool. "WE SWIM!" After she said that, Azumi jumped right into the pool with a cannonball. Takushi looked away, "I'm not that interested in swimming right now." He took out his sunglasses and put them on. "Just going to be relaxing on this chair and keep guard for any suspious people." Hiro shrugged, "All right then I'll be swimming too." He dashed toward the pool and dived right into the water. 

[Junko 2,815]

Claude looked up at the scenery of the pool area. It was nothing like he's seen before. He was going to say something to Sonya when his body was suddenly thrust into the water. He felt the cold blue water rush into his face and he motioned his arms to reach his head back into the surface. His head bobbed out of the water, coughing out some water that made its way into his mouth. Claude looked to see that Junpei was standing where Claude was just a second ago. He appeared to be glancing the other way from the poor, as if he did nothing wrong. Sonya gripped Junpei's shoulders from behind. "Don't you want to join Claude and the others in the pool as well." Before he could respond, Sonya already threw him into the pool. Junpei splashed into the water right next to Claude. Karma was terrible wasn't it. Sonya clapped her hands together, as if her job was done, and went to go sit down in the shade under one of the beach chairs. Alphonse sat on the edge of the pool, his feet sitting in the water and watched as Junpei emerged from the water and yelling at Sonya, who was just ignoring him completely. Usami came walking back with a box of donuts and sat down crisscrossed next to Alphonse, pulled one out and began eating one. They were both silent for a moment. And those moments  turned into minutes. Claude looked over to the two of them from where he was. (A-re they not going to speak to each other?) 

[Naegi 149]

 The sun guardian burst out in laughter as Claude got pushed into the pool by Junpei and soon joined him thanks to Sonya. "Nice one Sonya!" Hiro swam over to Azumi and smiled, "Oi Azumi, since we're both althletic, do you wanna have a swimming contest?" She smirked devilishly. "Swim how far?" Pointing at the other side he said, "All the way over there and back." Takushi frowned, that's extremely far considering it's half the size of a soccer field and they have to swim back. Azumi didn't seem to mind as her eyes were blazing with determination. "You're on, lets do it! Sushi, do the countdown!" The storm guardian twitched, "Don't call me sushi damn it!" "Aw Takushi I'm sure she didn't mean it. Just count down for us ok?" Hiro chuckled. As the competiters got into their starting postions, Takushi sighed before counting down with a dull tone. "5...4...3...2...1...go."

Azumi roared as she kicked off the wall with all her might gliding in the water. The rain guardian did the same except slowed down behind Azumi. Moving her arms and legs, Azumi swam down the pool as children quickly ran not wanting to end up being knocked away. The boxer increased in the lead as Hiro calmly taking his time swimming went after her. Soon Azumi reached the other side of the pool, did a front flip underwater, and came up with her back to the water as she began to backstroke. It took 10 seconds after Azumi for Hiro to do the same. 'No way, Azumi is beating Hiro?!' Takushi thought. Suddenly Azumi started to slow down as her arms and legs didn't move as fast in the beginning. Hiro was now 3 meters away from the sun guardian keeping his pace. Then to everyone's shock, Azumi was barely moving her arms as it was obvious she was entirely steamed. "S-she used up all her energy." The storm guardian sweatdropped. Finally Hiro caught up and swam by her with a playful tease, "See ya~" And reached the finish line. "God dang it!" Azumi panted. Hiro laughed, "You shouldn't have wasted all of your energy in the beginning, just take your time." She gritted her teeth, "I know, just go too excited." 

[Junko 2,815]

Claude and Junpei swam over to Hiro and Azumi. "Wow, you two were so fast!" he said as Junpei crossed his arms and looked away, appearing to be unamused. "Hmph, I probably could have beaten both of you in half the time." "Really?" Claude said as he turned to look at him and Junpei glanced at Claude. "Of course I can!" he said, jabbing a thumb to his chest. "That's because I'm the all mighty Junpei!" he pointed a finger to Hiro and Azumi. " And I can take those two on anytime."

Alphonse shook his head from where he was sitting. "Of course you can't..." he muttered to himself at Junpei's comment. Usami looked over at the four in the water before looking at Alphonse, removing the jelly doughnut from her mouth. "Don't you want to join them?" Alphonse shook his head while sliding some of his face into his scarf. "I'm really much of a swimmer." Usami nodded and held out her last doughnut to him. "Then...you can have this." she wasn't one to give out her food to anyone but she was in a good mood today. Alphonse stared at it for a moment before taking it out of her hand, thanking her. 

[Naegi 149]

 "Lets do a swimming contest right now then!" Azumi yelled. Putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down Hiro laughed, "You're obviously tired Azumi, I highly doubt you'll be able to swim even in the kiddie pool," Then the rain guardian turned to Junpei with challenging eyes, "Also I would like to do a swimming contest with you," He stretched his arms. "But I'm beat right now." Arms and legs feeling numb, the sun guardian floated with her back to the water. Takushi yawned as he laid back on the beach chair. 'Man is this all I gotta do to become a storm guardian? It's too easy.' He looked at the other guardians, 'Of course, there's other canditdates trying to be the next Vongola boss.' The storm guardian let out a sigh. Suddenly Azumi got up her already regained back her energy. "Hey! Can we go ride that waterslide?" Hiro cocked his head, "I thought it was gonna be the finale." "But I'm still exhausted from swimming so might as well go now." Azumi's eyes sparkled. "Can we all go together?" Takushi grunted. "Ask 11th," She turned to Claude with the best puppy face she could come up with. "Please?" 

[Junko 2,815]

Claude really couldn't say no to her. He looked up at the waterside, standing a bit too tall in the air, before looking back at Azumi. "O-okay.." she said at a slight stutter before Azumi immediately cheered in happiness soon after. "If that's the case, then I'll race you down." Junpei said as he pointed towards the slide. He looked over to Alphonse and Usami. "You two are coming along, right?" Usami appeared slightly surprised at him suddenly calling her out. "Eh?! I..I don't kno-" Junpei already made his way over to her and picked her up by her waist. Usami let out a small yelp before struggling to get out of his hold. Alphonse sighed before making his way into the water and following after Junpei before the regrouped with the others in the pool. "The slide looked interesting....so I thought I might join you guys." he muttered as he pulled his scarf a little bit over his mouth more. "Takushi, do you wanna join us?"

[Naegi 149]

 Takushi got up from his beach chair with a cheerful tone, "If you say so 11th!" 

 

 Everyone went up the stairs leading to the gigantic slide, however a huge line greeted them about half-way up. "The line's too long, it's gonna take forever to get up there." Azumi grumbled totally depressed. Gritting his teeth, Takushi made his way in front of the group approaching the line. "Oi! We want to ride this god damn slide!" A tall leaning man standing near the storm guardian looked at him, "And so do we, however you all have to wait in line just like the rest of us." Takushi walked right up to the man and due to the man's height he had to look up with a deadly glare. "Do you know who we are?" The man laughed with an amusing smirk. "No clue, just a bunch of kids thinking they could do whatever they want." The storm guardian grinned. "We're the Vongola Family!" When Takushi mentioned Vongola the man's face fell as sweat beated down his forehead. "T-t-the Vongola?!" He looked at the group trying to recongize any faces. Losing patientce, Takushi grabbed Claude's arm and brought him over to the man. "This is one of the 11th's Vongola Boss candidate!" The man studied Claude's face, "His face is almost like Decimo..." He mumbled silently to himself. Bowing, the man moved to one side for them to pass. Apparentely the people in the line heard the commotion and too moved like the Red Sea splitting apart. Hiro blinked. "Wow Takushi!" "Yay! Sushi's the best!" Azumi pumped her fist in the air.

Everyone went up the stairs passing through the line as people looked at them in awe. "The rumors are true, he looks just like 10th Vongola." "Will he also succeed?" Finally they reached the top and a life guard had tubes laid out to the side. "There's tubes that can hold 1 person or multiple people up to 4." Hiro scratched his head, "So who wants to go alone or with multiple people?" "Alone please!" Azumi called out grabbing a singe-person tube. She sat down on the tube and before the life guard gave her permission to move, she paddled forward with her arms. However the next thing Azumi knew was Alphonse and Junpei was standing near the entrance of the slide. "Watch out!" Hiro cried. Too late, Junpei and Alphonse didn't have time to dodge as the tube knocked both of them off their feet and landed on the tube Azumi was in barely fitting. With a scream from Azumi the 3 went down the slide. Takushi face-palmed. "That idiot girl." 

[Junko 2,815]

Alphonse felt the water rushing into his face as he was sitting uncomfortably on the tube, sandwiched between Junpei and Azumi. "S-someone stop this t-" Junpei's foot whacked him in the back of his head, jerking Alphonse's head forward. More water rushed into his face. He was enjoying himself more than he should be, waving his arms in the air. "Rough turns straight ahead!" Weakly, Alphonse lifted his head up to see that the slide was starting to bend oddly before them. He slightly gritted his teeth, regretting his decision to join them on this, and held onto the tube, his now drenched scarf sticking to his skin.

Usami squinted as she saw the three of them made their way quickly down the side. She looked back to Hiro, Takushi and Claude. "Do you think they'll be okay?" Claude's eyebrow twitched out of nervousness. The water slide looked more intimidating now. "I don't know..but I don't think this is a good idea anymore..." Usami puffed her cheeks. "We didn't skip all of those people for nothing. The only way you're getting off this thing is sliding down here." She walked over to grab a tube for a two person ride. "Ah, maybe Takushi can go down with you since he got us up here faster." She said, looking over to him

 "Ya hooo!" Azumi yelled as she held onto the tube. The slide suddenly turned to the right as the tube jerked toward that direction almost tipping the three of them off the tube. Feeling her heart skip a beat she moved to the left squishing Alphonse and Junpei until the tube turned to the left causing the guys to move right squishing Azumi. "God you guys are heavy." Azumi choked out. Then her eyes widen when she saw the horrid path ahead of them. "The slide is going downwards, it's a downward slope!" She clinged to Alphonse who was the nearest person next to her.

 Takushi smiled cheerfully, "All right, we gotta make sure those idiots are ok anyway." Taking a two-person tube, he set it in the water and motioned Claude to sit in the back. "As your right hand man, I'll be up front and block the water that tries to splash you." He said as he sat down. The lifeguard didn't even bother telling them when to go, already confused with the situation happening. Moving forward with his arms, Takushi and Claude went down the slide. Hiro turned to Usami looking at the two person ride she was holding. "I guess it's just you and me, do you wanna sit in the front or back?" He smiled.

"H-" He couldn't respond fast enough. The tube had already made a steep downward. Feeling his body starting to shift backward from the force, Junpei held onto the end of Alphonse's scarf to keep him from falling off the tube. Alphonse's face slowly began to change into a shade of blue. Seconds passed by as they rushed down before there was a hard splash into the water.

Claude hung on tightly to any part of the tube as he an as the two of them rushed down the slide. He had his eyez squeezed shut to avoid any water from splashing into them. Usami hopped into the back seat of the tube. "let's go." she said as she patted the seat on the tube in front of her.
