Summary: Kanda knows that he can't die yet. That's when he first unleashes his dying will. Now although he's alive, how does he get back from this place?

Kanda gripped Alma tightly as they fell through the gate. Something wasn't right. They were going way too fast. No! He couldn't die yet! Clenching Mugen even tighter, he repeated in his head, I wont die!

The sword began to glow. Not really glowing, more of an aura. A black flame was engulfing the sword, along with his hand. With this flame, Kanda felt power and strength beginning to heal him. Was not his Lotus almost gone?

Not grasping the true importance of the situation, Kanda decided to focus on the problem at hand. So swiftly, he lashed out Mugen, hoping to catch on to one of the gates. Doing so, however, dragged him into the wrong one. As he fell through gate number 100, he knew that he had made a mistake.

When he came to, he was in a room. A room that looked quite like his dojo, as a matter of fact. Where was he? His skin, earlier cracked and crumbling, had smoothed over, albeit some scars around his torso. Then he heard a voice.

"Where is the intruder?"

Footsteps echoed down a hall, most likely leading to the door behind him.

"W-Well, Hibari-sama, he was last seen in your training room...,"

"... I'll bite him to death."

Somehow, Kanda knew that he was unwelcome here. His eyes narrowed, and he held onto Mugen.

"T-That won't be needed, Hibari-sama. We've called Reborn. He says that he'll take care of it,"

"... Who cares what Reborn says?"

The door opened. A man, most likely in his late teens (although Kanda was never the best at judging people – that was the Rabbit's job) strode in. He had black hair, a bit darker than Kanda's own, that stopped at the nape of his neck. A long coat, also like Kanda's exorcist uniform, was draped across his shoulders. On one arm was an armband reading 'Discipline' in kanji.

Feeling a bit challenged for his identity, Kanda stood up. He shot a glare at the other man, who must have been 'Hibari'. Another person behind this 'Hibari' was wearing similar clothing, however he was sporting a worried look on his face,unlike 'Hibari', whose face mirrored his own.

Hibari, after returning the other man's glare, gave a tiny, almost imperceptible nod. This man looks like a weakling, I wont need any big weapons. And then he began his attack.

He leapt forward, and using his tonfa he made to smash Kanda's face. With quick reflexes, Kanda used the blunt edge of his sword to meet Hibari's arm. Unnoticed by either, Reborn slipped in and stood by Kusakabe.

"Reborn-san! You have to stop them! Hibari will kill him!" Kusakabe cried.

"... Are you sure about that? It seems to me that they are quite evenly matched. In fact, the newcomer seems a bit more skilled…"

In front of them, sword and tonfa clashed again and again. Hibari's tonfa were beginning to dent while the other man's sword was still in rather good condition. The outsider was gaining the upper hand, albeit slowly. However, he didn't currently seem to be trying his hardest, since he was only using the dull side of his sword. A scheming look began to appear on the baby's face. He would need to stop the fight before Hibari lost.

"However, you are right. We will have to stop him in order to question the intruder," And with that, Reborn whipped out his gun and aimed.

Kanda saw the bullet cutting through the air a second before it hit him. With lots of practice from fighting akuma, he usually managed to notice these things right away. The fact that he'd only noticed it so late meant that this bullet was extremely fast. He lurched back, and the bullet only managed to graze him. Even so, that meant that it had cut through a bit of his skin. And then, Kanda fell.

The world faded to black.

"Will he be alright?"

"Who is he?"

A grunt, somewhere.

"Don't worry, there was only enough to knock out an elephant."

"Hieee! That's too much, Reborn!"

"Idiot Tsuna, he could be an enemy for all we know."

A click, and then a thud was heard.

Kanda was pissed. Couldn't they let him rest in peace? His hold on Mugen tightened, but then he realized that his sword wasn't in his hands. Angered, he opened his eyes. Above him was a baby wearing a strange looking hat and staring into his eyes.

"Ah, he's awake…" The child commented.

"Eh? So he's okay?" A brownhaired boy was lying upside down against a wall. Kanda, not caring about small fry, stood up.

"Where's Mugen?" He snarled.

"Mugen? Would you be talking about your sword?" The baby asked, smiling. Kanda merely narrowed his eyes. That question didn't deserve a response.

He felt a nervous aura coming from his left. The boy from earlier was worriedly flicking his eyes toward the door next to himself. Kanda, realizing the implications, walked up to the door and opened it. In there lay the sword, along with many strange looking devices.

Looks like something Komui would make.

Angry that the people would try to hide his weapon from him, he furiously picked up his sword, preparing to whirl around and cut them in two(or four, as there were two people). But as he held Mugen, the sword flared up, a dark something surrounding it. It's the same thing from earlier. What is it?

While pondering this, he noticed something else. He could see the flowers. The flowers that had disappeared earlier had materialised with the darkness, all of them in full bloom. What was going on?

"R-Reborn! What's that?" Tsuna cried. "It looks like a flame, but aren't there only seven?"

"Correct, Tsuna. I myself am not sure what this is, only that it should be stopped while I find out," And with that, Reborn whipped out his gun, planning to shoot Kanda in his confusion.

He missed. Or rather Kanda dodged. Although Kanda was confused, survival always came first, and now that he had experienced that bullet before, he managed to dodge it quite faster than the first time. And with that, he began his attack.

"Kaichu: Ichi-" Before he could complete the line, a hand appeared behind him and cover his mouth. In the hand was a piece of cloth, soaked in what must have been chloroform. He had fallen for the oldest trick in the book.

The world faded into black. Again.

End chapter.

Not that good, but I'll try to update often :/ I'm finally trying to write something! :D R&R please?
