Now, the man was not his biological older brother but he had saved Lambo from his family when the small child had gotten lost in a foreign mafia family's manor. Ever since then Lambo adored the older boy and always went to see him in order to escape from his own family.

When Mukuro Rokudo was young he had a savior.

Mukuro was given away to the Estraneo family when he was an infant and had forgotten what the outside world looked like. He even forgot if there was a world outside the research facility. The testing, painful surgeries, and the battles the Estraneo family created between the children they 'modified' in order to weed out the weak. As the years passed and Mukuro became older and realized there was more to the world than this he planned to escape with the few companions he had here. The only factor that worked against him was timing. He could easily take out a few guards at a time, he knew this for a fact. However he had never tried using his illusions on more than a small group of people at a time. If he were to escape he would be facing a mob and he was unsure if his body was capable of handling this.

The day he resigned to his fate and decided to wait another two years so that he would be fifteen and undoubtedly strong enough to face down all of the minions without breaking a sweat someone new entered the facility. Mukuro had been in the training room with other children as the newest child walked in being led by other scientists. Each scientist looked ecstatic for the first time Mukuro could remember however the looks soon changed as the child they were leading suddenly grew hostile and brilliant orange flames circled around him attacking the scientists nearest to him. At that moment all of the scientists and guards flooded the area while Mukuro watched the scene enraptured with the other children.

As soon as the Estraneo family members were close enough they were engulfed in the same violent flames as before. In the middle of all the carnage stood the one boy who was grinning as though he didn't have a care in the world. The boy walked over to the master control panel that was connected to the outside of the training room and in a second a loud horn sounded in the area as every door in the area opened as the children tentatively walked out. Once they all had gathered around the boy who had set him free all he did was grin at all of the children, both younger and older than him, and led them to the exit. He never told them what to do, he never told them where to go, he just set them free to do what they wished. To this day Mukuro couldn't forget the person who freed him and was still searching for him but after he had infiltrated a mafia family he learned a very interesting fact that would help him find his unknown savior.

The boy was one of the three people alive to have sky flames.


When Ryohei Sasagawa was young he had an hero.

Growing up as an older brother with parents who were always away Ryohei made it his duty to protect his younger sister with his life. However one day when he was returning home with Kyoko there were several older men in front of them that Ryohei had beaten earlier on separate occasions. Now Ryohei was strong for a thirteen year old but nowhere near strong enough to fight of the mob of older teens and keep his sister safe. Instead of trying Ryohei allowed them to attack him with the promise his sister would remain safe.

Just when the older boys were about to begin their attack two figures shot into the mob and all of the older teens quickly fell to their knees due to the strength of the two newest additions. Ever since that day Ryohei had been searching high and low for the two boys that had saved not only him but his sister as well. He had managed to find one boy who was much colder than he had originally thought but even if he had found one he had yet to find the other.

He was now a young adult but even as seasons passed he still searched for the other boy with the cold boy who was searching for the missing boy as well. However whenever Ryohei saw his searching partner one thought kept coming up no matter how hard he tried to repress it.

This black haired boy's silver gray eyes matched the other's golden orange ones perfectly.


When Kyoya Hibari was young he had a rival.

Being feared by everyone in his home town from a young age ensured that each day new people would bring new challenges for him. However each and every person that tried to fight him was taken down in mere seconds. There was no challenge and once Hibari realized this he grew more and more frustrated with how weak all of those herbivores were.

One day he was going on his usual patrol of Namimori when he found a boy he had only seen a handful of times at his school. The boy was always classified as a herbivore to Hibari, he was clumsy, weak, and at the bottom of his class in terms of grades. Despite all of this the boy was fighting against several grown men and appeared to be winning. Normally Hibari would've bitten all of the herbivores to death for disrupting the peace but just seeing the younger boy fight was as if he were looking at a new person entirely. After the herbivore finished his fight Hibari was right in front of the boy and prepared to fight him.

In response the herbivore ran off to where he heard the sound of a young girl crying out for help. Frustrated by the blatant ignorance the boy had shown, Hibari ran after the boy only to find him fighting against older teens this time. Without a second thought Hibari jumped in and destroyed the herbivores who had dared to interfere with his fight. Once everything had settled down the herbivore was helping the boxing herbivore, who Hibari had also seen at school, up while a younger girl was fussing over the older boy. After that day Hibari sought out the herbivore again to get his fight but try as hard as he might he never managed to find the other boy. Even with the help of the boxing herbivore they had yet to find the boy, but even as the years passed and the image began to fade Hibari knew one thing.

He would find Sawada Tsunayoshi and fight him, no matter what.


AN:

This is more of an experimental fic. I'll be honest I tried to write the final chapter of The Day The World Crumbled but once I got half way through it my computer had a heart attack and erased everything I had.

(_ _|||)

Yup... I'm sad too and as such I really really really am not willing to rewrite everything I have already written.

I may be rewilling to write it if my lazy-ass flat mate decides to make me something to eat. I mean seriously he's majoring in culinary arts and he won't even make me dinner. =m= Where's the justice in that?

Oh right rambling.

Anyways If I actually manage to get my inspiration back soon I will be able to write the next chapter by next week at the earliest. Until then I shall be off doing what ever it is I do.
