Junko

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?"

...really? there are 22,000+ members on this site.

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.

Learning Japanese at school

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?)

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

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.

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.."

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.

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.

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.

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.

"...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.

"Good Morning Azumi." The girl turned to see that the neutral greeting came from Alphonse. He waved a hand to her, his other one carrying a duffle bag. There was a dragging yawn from behind him and Junpei walked up from behind him. "Al....why the hell do you have to walk so fast??" he said, sounding a bit drowsy. Alphonse simply raised an eyebrow at him. "What? That stinkin rabbit girl kept me all night while she stuffed her face away." "Usami?" He simply nodded in response. Alphonse shook his head and pointed over to the left. "You do know Claude's house is in direction, right?" Junpei shook his head tiredly. "I don't know man. I was following you." Meanwhile Usami walked down the street with her small duffle bag sitting on her side. She was eating a croissant. She looked up to see that she saw Hiro and Takushi waiting at a house. She was probably at the right one then. She slowly walked up to them, only to hear that Takushi was causing some type of commotion. (What's up with him..?) She thought before removing her mouth from her croissant. "Good morning." she managed to utter as she came behind Hiro. She peeked past Hiro to look at Takushi, giving him a blank stare. ".." Meanwhile Claude moved off of his bed and got dressed into a white shirt with some circle abstract art on it, a dark red jacket and jeans. He threw a few clothes and other things he might need into a small bag before slinging it over his shoulder and started to head out the door. He paused and looked back at his pistols. (I really shouldn't leave those lying around like that before mom finds those and starts getting weird ideas about me..) Claude sighed before walking over to his nightstand and putting each pistol in to each pocket. He then left his room to meet Sonya downstairs. She pulled the shades off her face and tucked them on her head. Claude signaled that he was ready to go and the two of them stepped outside, to find Takushi, Hiro and Usami already at his home. "Uh..good morning..." he said before noticing that Takushi looked....not angry today. (Was..was he actually wanting to go to this?)

Junpei stared down at his empty wallet and the long receipt that he got back from the cashier. He could feel a tear about to come rolling down his cheek any minute now. "D-damn...rabbit...." Usami looked up, a doughnut sticking out of her mouth. She slightly raised her eyebrows. Junpei stood up and and slammed his hands on the table. "Why did you have to buy everything on the goddamn menu?!" Usami's eyes glanced around to see that mostly her side of the table was covered with a bunch of pastries and sweets, half of which were already eaten. "You didn't even bother to change out of your hospital dress!" Usami said nothing and consumed the rest of the doughnut that was in her mouth. Junpei grumbled and reached a hand out. "At least let me have so-" "No." "But-?!" "No." Junpei sat back down before putting his forehead to the table in shame. He might as well wait for her to finish and hope that she changes her mind and be a little merciful to the blonde. Meanwhile Claude blinked before nervously rubbing the back of his head. "You don't have to be formal. Claude is fine." It was weird. Takushi is all respectful to him now. That wasn't something he was used to. Claude and Takushi both changed out of their hostpital gowns and into thei regular clothes that they were wearing the day before before following Sonya out of the door. The three of them made their way home, Claude saying goodbye to Takushi when they were passing by his dwelling. Claude collapsed straight into bed, not bothering to eat dinner since he already ate at the hospital. Plus he wasn't ready to trust Sonya with whatever cooking skills she had. The night went by calmly. Just when Claude's alarm clock was about to go off, something hard landed on his stomach. He felt the air immediately being knocked out of him as he opened on eye. "W-what the heck Sonya?" Sonya was sitting on top of him with a plain tee shirt on and short pants. "What? Did you not want me to wake you like this?" Claude quickly shook his head 'yes'. "Well too bad~ Now get your ass out of bed. We're going somewhere, remember?" She said as she moved off of him. Claude looked to his nightstand to see that his pistols were lying there. That's right, the cruise. Claude groaned and moved his pillow over his head. "I said...GET UP DAMMIT!" Sonya landed a hard kick to Claude's side, causing him to fall off on the floor on the other side of his bed. "Be down in 30 minutes, kay?" Sonya said as she left the room. Claude could feel his head throbbing in pain.

ehehe..fights....

Usami watched as Azumi and Hiro left the room. There was a faint thud against the wall, as if someone was trying to catch something. The nurse outside probably almost dropped something. The whole mention of pastries made Usami start craving some. Even after her whole illusionary vision was gone now, she hadn't had anything sweet to eat in a while. She began to clutch the the braids that hung at the sides of her face. "Um....Usami?" Claude began to ask as he noticed that Usami wasn't acting her usual quiet self. Ignoring him, she looked over to Junpei, who seemed a bit surprised. "The bakery..." Junpei raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Wha-?" He was immediately cut off when Usami started clutching to his arm with a hard grip. "Take me...to the bakery." "Wait wait wait. Why should I take you? What about Cloud or Tak-" "Do you..have money?" Junpei paused and glanced down in his pocket. "Well yeah bu-" That was enough for Usami. She proceeded to drag Junpei towards the door. She winched a bit at her shoulder. Claude started to climb out of his bed. "Wait Usami. You really shouldn't be moving around too much." He said in a worried tone before Usami looked at him for a second, narrowing her eyes, as if completely disagreeing, before leaving the room with Junpei as he tried to get out of her grip. He quickly let out a small plead for help before disappearing though the door. Sonya watched the two leave before turning back to Takushi and Claude. "Strange one, isn't she? It's possible that she could end up being violent if people tries to get between her and her sweets." Claude frowned and was somewhat frightened by that. Who knew that small Usami could be potentially vicious. "W-wait...how do you know that?" Sonya gave him a sarcastic smile. "Did you suddenly get sort term memory? Takushi's past isn't the only one I know about. I know about all of you." "You've been stalking them?!" "Nah. More like analyzing. It wasn't a mistake when Reborn and I chose you guys." "But this is crazy. We're just kids." She let out a sigh in annoyance. "And yet you all managed to defeat Kaede and his men. It's only going to get harder. Staying in that mindset will only get you killed." Claude's eyebrow twitched and the room went silent. Sonya yawned and crossed her arms. "We can always walk over to Claude's house, ya know. It would be nice seeing mom again....anyways, Takushi if you want to accompany us you're more than welcomed to. You do have a certain mission you needed to accomplish, am I right?" She struck a nerve and Claude looked over to Takushi, a bit confused as to what Sonya was talking about. "But you can always tell him later when you guys are more close~". She stood up out of her chair. "Whenever you two are ready."

Claude nodded his head at Takushi's comment and Sonya suddenly let go of him causing him to fall, catching himself on Takushi's shoulder. "Alright then, it's decided. We'll leave tomorrow so you guys can chill at home before we go." "B-but I already told you. I don't want to go!" Claude caught Usami's gaze at him. Was she really silently pouting. Except it was more like a deadly pouting that scared him a bit. "Usami, Alphonse, Takushi and Claude. You guys should be able to leave now since I've got the all clear with the doctor." Reborn then stood up from his chair and walked towards the door. "Well I'm off. We meet at Claude's house tomorrow." He turned back to stare at Claude. "Oh and don't forget to bring your pistols." Claude raised an eyebrow and watched as Reborn left before looking down at his guns sitting on his bed. Alphonse inched off of his bed and walked towards the door, picking up his scarf on his way and slinging it around his neck. "W-wait, where are you going?! You're still in bad condition." "Home. It's a pain to stay here any longer." He said, his tone of voice sounding a bit darker than usual, before walking out the door. (I guess he hates hospitals.....) he thought and sighed.

Junpei staggered a bit at Azumi suddenly jumping him before getting out of her grasp and pointing a finger at her. "Don't give me that crap! You must have been the one to knock me out in the first place!" Claude turned to Hiro at his question and shrugged. "I..I think so.." he said aas he began to inch out of his bed and set his feet onto the floor. Success. "My body feels great ag--" "Alrighty then!" Sonya said, hugging Claude from behind, her grip appearing to be too tight on his body. "Since you guys are all here, Reborn has a destination in mind for us~" Reborn, who appeared to have been silent for a bit spoke up. "A cruise to Mafia Land." "W-what?!" Sonya hug on Claude got tighter. "Oh don't be a wet blanket. It'll be fun." Claude could hardly believe that. The fact that it had 'mafia' in the name was enough to scare him into not going. "No..I'm not going..." ​"Will there be...pastries there?" Claude looked over to see that that came from Usami. From her small figure, it would have been hard to guess that she even had a sweet tooth. Sonya smiled and nodded, causing Usami's eyes to sparkle bit. She suddenly seemed overly excited for this trip now. "A cruise? You mean boats? What if it sinks?!" "We're not going on the Titanic..." Alphonse commented before Junpei went over and shook him by the shoulders. "What are you an esper now!? It can happen! I've got so much to live for..." Claude just stared at him funny. (What is...he even talking about...?) "Geez, lighten up Claude. It's just going to be a day of relaxation. What's the worse that can happen." "Basically anything!" Claude said frantically.

Nope nope nOPE Going through pregnancy (well i can adopt too but MEH), a year or so of many hours of sleep lost, trying to discipline them, etc. too much. not to mention i have little patience with people Besides, it's not like I'm going to be miserable without kids (or even a husband)

Usami sat up to a sitting position in her bed and watched as Azumi and Hiro left the room. She was surprised to see that they were in such a good mood to go and exercise even after what happened last night. She moved off of her bed and walked over to Junpei before crouching down and poking his face. For a few minutes there was no response before Junpei's head moved to Usami's head. "Heh, so the mist rabbit is awake?" "E-eh?" Junpei slowly picked himself off of the ground before clutching his stomach. "Ack..." Claude looked over to Takushi. "Heh, don't worry about it. They should be fine." He lifted his body up, feeling less numb, and flexed his fingers. (Great..it's wearing off quickly.) "Alright! How about when Claude is all better, we go out somewhere~" Alphonse rubbed the back of his head. "Where exactly?" Sonya paused for a moment and tapped her finger to her chin. "Hmmm, how about out we discuss the details when the other two gets back, kay?"

As Azumi suddenly clutched at her waist, Usami laid there, motionless next to her, not wanting to wake the girl up or cause her to squeeze tighter. Claude looked away, somewhat disappointed that the Vindice didn't bother to listen to him. Alphonse finally sat up, a hint of dark circles under his eyes, as he clutched his side that was damaged. "So Kaede and the others with him were taken away?" he said slowly and Claude nodded the best he could from the position he was sitting in. Alphonse looked over the side of his bed to see Junpei passed out on the floor. He narrowed his eyes in slight confusion but didn't pay much attention to him much since the next instant, two flying objects flew across the room from the door and hit Claude right in the face, causing him to fall off his bed. Everyone looked in shocked before Reborn walked through the door, in a better mood than he was yesterday. "You forgot these while we over at the abandoned church so I brought them for you. You shouldn't be leaving your weapons lying around like that , you know." Claude's pistols slipped off of his face, revealing a red mark at the center of his face. "T-Then why did you have to throw them at me?!" "Life is full of choices." "What does that have to do with anything?!" Sonya moved out of her seat to help Claude back into his bed, him feeling the pain of his muscles as she picked him up. Reborn parked himself on a chair. "Well then. Did you sleep well Claude?" "Um...more or less I guess. Why does my body ache all over?" "The hyper drive bullet put more strain on your body than intended during your fight with Kaede, not to mention that you were oushing your limits as well. The more you use the hyper drive mode, you'll become more used to it."

The next few hours consisted on Takushi's continuous bickering with Azumi and Hiro trying to calm them down. Junpei was still knocked out cold on the ground and Usami and Alphonse were still sound asleep. Reborn left for the night, leaving Sonya to look after the other, which, of course, left her enraged. When nightfall came, everyone was knocked out and things finally calmed down in the small hospital room. At the crack of dawn, a small amount of sunlight started coming into the window. Claude slowly opened his eyes and glanced around the room. Hiro and Sonya were passed out in a chair, Azumi was sleeping next to Usami on her hospital bed, Takushi and Alphonse sleeping on their own beds and Junpei still knocked out on the floor. (Huh...when did we get back...?) Claude motioned himself to sit up when... "OWOWOWOWOWOW!" he felt his entire body stiff in pain as he tried to move and he felt his muscles tingling. His sudden outburst was loud enough to wake everyone up in the room. Usami slowly opened her eyes and looked over to see that Azumi was sleeping next to her. Out of shock, she scooted away from her before sitting up to see that Claude was awake. She felt a sharp pain and looked down at her shoulder to see that it was patched up but there was still slight pain present. Alphonse rolled over to his side and grumbled something. It appears that he's not really much of a morning person. "Quit moving around so much you idiot." Sonya muttered as she lifted her head up. "Take it easy. Your body is still recovering." Claude turned his head over to her before something hit him. "K-Kaede..where is he?!" She sighed in annoyance. "Gone...."

"Vindice probably took the other two along with Daisuke and Kaede." A siren was heard in the distance and got louder before a vehicle was coming clearer into view. It was one Vongola ambulance vehicle. "So they finally came. Thank goodness." Sonya sighed as the vehicle came to a slow stop near the group. Two paramedics emerged from the vehicle and took Usami from Reborn's arms and on to a gurney before putting her into the ambulance. Another paramedic offered to help get Takushi in, which he flat out denied at first before the pain struck him in his stomach, causing him to cringe forward. The paramedic helped him into the ambulance anyways. The others followed into the vehicle and they were all taken to the Vongola hospital. Within an hour, Usami, Takushi and Claude were placed in the same room with Alphonse, who was still knocked out. Junpei crept by his side before inching a black sharpie marker over the sleeping boy's face. Before he could write anything on Alphonse's face, Junpei was struck in the head with one of the night stands that was sitting in the room. He laid knocked out cold and Sonya gritted her teeth in annoyance before crossing her arms, apparently being the one to throw the hard object at him. "Annoying brat..." She muttered and turned to Reborn. They were both sitting next to Claude's bed, one on each side. "So from what I've heard, Usami and Takushi are going to make a full recovery within due time. And Claude is still going to be out cold for a while...." Reborn was silent. The while encounter with Vindice was still bothering him Sonya sighed and looked over to Claude sleeping face.

Reborn gritted his teeth. "Vindice. All of them were once an Arcobaleno like I used to be. They protect the laws of the mafia world. Since Kaede and the rest of his men were out to eliminate the Vongola family, they're are going to be taken to the Venicare Prison. Honestly, I thought I would never have to see them again..." "W-wait a second. How long are they going to be locked up in there?" There was a small pause before Reborn said anything. "Who knows. They could be there for the rest of their lives for all we know." Junpei's eyes widened a bit in shocked as he looked back to Daisuke, Kaede and the Vindice. "Hold on a second. They can't possibly stay there forever, can they?!" Sonya protested. "There's nothing we can do about it. They broke a rule. They have to be punished for it..." Sonya gritted her teeth. She wanted to shout at the Vindice in protest but the fear of getting locked up for the rest of her life along with them sunk in. "Wait a second. What's going to happen to the other two that were with Kaede?" she asked. Just when those words came out of her mouth. Claude stirred a bit on Hiro's back before lifting his head up slightly, enough for him to see Vindice. His vision was a bit blurry but he could make out the new figures.
