The crew aboard the sky den

Tsuna struggled but opened his eyes. He grunted but sat up on the bed he was on. "What happened?" He was in a small brown room of a airship. He knew it was one because he could feel the subtle turbulence.

"You passed out." His uncle, Madigan, was sitting in front of his work table. He was cleaning and polishing his old, but trusty rifle. He was playing his favorite song in his headphones. An old habbit of his.

"Uncle Madigan?" Tsuna sat up on the bed, he clutched his right eye and forehead, trying to massage it. His head was pounding. That empty white dream of his was always there before he woke up. "I did?"

"Yeah for a week straight. That hussie I hired turned out to be decent. She hauled your ass here."

"Why? I felt fine. I don't even remember fainting."

"It's was the pill. Your body isn't conditioned to it."

Tsuna's stomach growled. Madigan dropped his headphones around his neck. "There's food somewhere around the ship." He pointed at the door of his room with the detached barrel of his rifle. "Get out and introduce yourself to the crew. After, meet me in the shooting range."

'H-He's kicking me out.' Tsuna needed nourishment. The meeting other people part, would be a bit tough, especially with out his uncle their to atleast help. 'How would he!'

Tsuna gazed out a window passing a hallway. "We really are flying." If anything he was trying to find the common areas for a kitchen or a fridge. He was probably just in the captains quarter. The hallway out of his room, directly led to two stairways. Two arrows were on the ceiling, hanging. One pointed up, the other down.

The stairway, "To heaven." Tsuna mumbled at the words painted on the arrow pointing up. He never understood his uncle's habbits.

The one aimed down, "Everyone else. Screw you guys, leave me alone." Eeh, his uncle actually wrote that. 'Probably a message for anyone who comes to his private quarters. Wait the means me too!'

Tsuna held on to the railing as he walked down the stairs. He could most likely find someone. He swayed a little from fatigue and turbulence. He held onto the railing making it to the last step.

"Oh, look who it is. The so called no good kid of Namimori." M.M. was in his face again. "How dare you fall asleep and make me drag you the rest of the way."

"Hiiee!" Tsuna stumbled back in shock at her outburst. He lost his grip on the railing and his footing. He tumbled foward. M.M. easily side stepped out of the way. He fell face first. M.M. took that opportunity to sit on his back with her legs crossed.

"Now, how do you plan to pay?" She was demanding a fee for her rescue service.

"I'm flat broke..." Tsuna grumbled in pain. He struggled for air and help.

"M.M. come on, get off him." A simple kind voice asked.

Tsuna glanced around the area he was in. It was like a small studio apartment. 'Amazing.' A pool table, a L shaped couch in front of a wall. 'No that's a flat screen!' It also had a small kitchen in the corner. In between the kitchen and what could be called the living room, was a hallway with many doors.

M.M. scowled but agreed. She blew air up at her hair. "Fine. I was only bored anyways. I'll be back for a payment. Da-me-Tsu-na." Sounding out every silybal of his uselss name. Tsuna didn't think it sounded cute at all.

The man who helped him out offered his hand. Tsuna took it whole heartedly. "You hungry? Ren made some pancakes for breakfast. Oh sorry he is another one of our teammates. Well mine, you have your own, but I say as long as we are all working together, who cares right." He scratched his cheek. "Sorry you're confused, huh? Come on." The blonde teen led him to the kitchen where three other people were. One was actually cooking the other two where sitting in the small table.

"Oh I'm Jaune by the way. Jaune Arc. (Rwby)" He introduced the rest of his team in the kitchen. Ren (Rwby) was cooking. Nora(rwby) drooling. Pyrrha (Rwby) was humming peaceful along to nothing.

"Hey you wanna have breakfast with us! Ren is just about done and his pancakes are to die for!" Nora invited Tsuna.

His mouth drooled out the same as her. "Can I really?" They all nodded. His eyes filled with joy. "Thank you so much!"

"I think it's about time you get to know your team?" Pyrrha encouraged Tsuna.

"But you guys are the best." Tsuna wanted them as a team instead.

"Hey come on, you should give them a chance, it's not like they're murders or thieves..." Nora slowed down realizing they all were exactly that. "I mean don't judge a book by its cover right?" An uneasy chuckle that both Juane and Pyrrha supported. Ren simply ate his pancakes in peace for once.

"I guess so." Tsuna mumbled not really enthusiastic about it.

Juane helped him to his team's living quarters. It was a double door next to the stairs that M.M. walked through.

"Hey guys, this here is Tsuna, the replacement for your team." Juane introduced him to three people playing poker in a shady lit room. The feeling of this room was the opposite of team JNPR's. A small TV on a stand with only white noise. Smoke lingering in the air and bottles over the counter in the kitchen.

M.M. had a grin, currently winning the hand. One of the other two sighed and reshuffled the deck. He didn't dare let M.M. deal. He shifted to the door, Juane and the new guy. He rose his fingers in acknowledging gesture. "Glock(Eldlive) Hey."

The red haired loser who was Tsuna's parallel, and also lost the round, rose his defeated eyes to Tsuna. "H-Hello, Enma. Enma Kozart. Nice to meet you by the way."

Tsuna timidly nodded back the same. "Nice to meet you too."

M.M. smirked. "Want to play a round. Oh we have one more teammate, his name's King. (Eldlive) He usually naps in his room. I don't recommend waking him up. He almost broke this idiot's wrist." She nodded to Enma. I'm turn, he dropped his head with more defeat.

Tsuna nodded at her offer to play. He took a seat across her, Glock on his right, Enma on his left. Juane took his leave. "Oh I got something for you at the armory, come around after you meet with Madigan." Juane added. "It was nice meeting you Tsuna." He waved as he left. Tsuna smiled back. These guys were all pretty nice. His uncle was scary so he assumed they would be too.

'It wasn't the people that were scary. It was the world I unknowingly decided to step in, that was the true monster.'
