"Yamamoto!"

The Guardian of the Rain felt his feet dragging across the floor and the heavy breathing of a man against his neck. His sight was dark and his breathing was low.

"Yamamoto!"

He didn't make a sound as he felt his body collide with a hard metal chair, his back forced to be straight and his feet perfectly spread apart.

"Yamamoto!"

Something burned at his wrists and tightened in it's force to keep him still. There was that tone ringing in his ears and suddenly the cloth was torn away from his eyes.

"YAMAMOTO!"

He squinted up into the light as the man totally clad in black before him. The man had what looked like a metal rod in his hand and kept tapping it against his palm but he knew better to panic. It was better to be calm and relaxed. Collective as he was taught… but… Not The Same: Chapter 1

"Gokudera-kun! Please… you need to pull yourself together…" pleaded the Sky Guardian.

"I am pulled together as I can possibly be Tenth," the Storm Guardian replied as he angrily threw those sticks of dynamite to ease his tension. It was a fact of life that he would resort to violence in a time like this.

"I know but it seems you are losing sight…" Tsuna messed with the edges of his sweater. This whole mess was his fault anyway.

"Tenth…"

Tsuna turned his head in Gokudera's direction watched the silver hair fall to his knees and begin to shake. "Gokudera-kun!"

"I- I…" Gokudera gripped at the floor with no prevail. "I… can't be like this… I can't function knowing where he is… and I can't help him." He felt the hot tears flow down his face, threatening to break him just as he did on the walk back to base where Ryohei and Tsuna had to calm him down. It didn't work very well. It just seemed impossible for him to live while he knew his boyfriend was somewhere else… Somewhere without his help, his protection, his love…

"We'll find him soon as possible," said Tsuna in a serious manner. "They couldn't have gotten far and with your resolve, it will be a fast recovery." That was of course what he hoped.

"I know… I believe you… Boss…"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- One Month Later -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Gokudera couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that it took them a month. The current enemies to the Vongola family certainly had been greatly underestimated. Their base took a lot longer to recover and the silver haired drove himself forward with only pure anger.

Reborn had gotten a lead in France but he had suspect that it may be the main area of operations. Gokudera was all up for the challenge of course but in the end it all depended on the Vongola boss. Tsuna ordered an infiltration to hurry and retrieve back their dear Guardian of the Rain hoping to the heavens that Yamamoto was not dead.

A few hours after the order had been given, they arrived on French soil and hurried over to the suspected base of their enemies. With the team armed properly, they began their push through the base soon coming across a cross road of halls.

Tsuna smart enough to go let Gokudera do as he pleased, advised the Storm Guardian to go on ahead with Ryohei to go and search for where Yamamoto was kept as the rest of them moved to challenge the main boss of the family. The playing board had been set and Tsuna was sure to win.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Gokudera hurried down the stone halls, sinking deeper and deeper inside the massive base. He was sure that at some point he would feel the essence of his lover soon. They were linked after all or so that baseball idiot always told him. Even now he was already imagining that boys smiling face beaming up at him. He would say:

"Gokudera! What took you so long? I was bored sitting in here all by myself."

Yeah that's it. He couldn't wait. As he turned down a corner, he saw a group of men standing in a clutter waiting for their opponents. Guarding Yamamoto would be a good reason for them to be standing in that particular spot. He wasted no time as he ran forward, his dying will flame growing stronger then ever.

The battle didn't last too long and once Ryreoi looked up, Gokudera was already running once again. "Ah! Octopus head! You should wait to the extreme!"

Gokudera ignored the yelling turf top. It wasn't really important to pay him any attention anyway but as he turned that last corner, he saw it. The lone door at the end of the hallway without a single design on it. For all he knew it could have been a closet but some how…

Gokudera pulled at the door with little success and out of frustration, ended up blowing the handle off. He opened the door and as the light streamed into the black room, there he saw his lover, laying on the concrete floor with eyes half open.

"Yamamoto!" He gripped Takeshi's shoulders to turn the face to look at him. Dry blood caked his body and feeling the rising of Yamamoto's chest gave him great relief but his smile disappeared when he looked into those eyes. They weren't right. They didn't look at him, they didn't look at anything. It seemed like something was missing… Something was gone… "Yamamoto! Look at me! Look at me!" Tears streamed down his face. "LOOK AT ME!"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Gokudera!"

The Italian looked over his shoulder and smiled. "What is it idiot?"

"You know how much I just love saying your name. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it," Yamamoto grinned as he came to his lovers side.

"I think I might just get tired of your voice one day," Gokudera scoffed.

"Aw, don't be like that."

"It's just a fact of like. Better get used to it."

"But you don't want me to change." Yamamoto leaned closer to Gokudera's ear. "You love me just the way I am."

"Maybe I should change that policy." But he couldn't deny it. He wouldn't want the idiot anyway else. "Are you coming over?"

"Of course why wouldn't I be?"

"I thought you had a game this afternoon."

Yamamoto waved a hand in the air. "Yeah well they can last without me for one game. It's not going to be the end of the world after all. Besides, I didn't forget the fact that today's our two week anniversary."

Gokudera blushed insanely as he looked at the other. "You're keeping that much track? That's such a waste of time!"

"It's not a waste of time. I love you and I'm happy to count our days," he grinned.

Gokudera failed to keep a scowl and instead punched the Rain Guardian in the arm. "Yeah whatever."

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Tsuna was about charging up his X Burner when he heard the click in his ear. "We've found him," Kyoko-chan's brother said in his ear.

"Great is he doing okay?" he asked casually still focused on the enemy in front of him.

"I would be lying to the extreme if I said he was."

Tsuna didn't say a word but when the X Burner was finished, he order the full infiltration in a large scale retreat. They won but they didn't feel so good.

First Yaoi for KHR. I hope you liked it ^^ More to come
