Missing Sky

Xanxus

He was intriguing, dangerous, deadly, but all the more captivating.

I remember when I first met him, at the beginning of the fight over the Vongola rings.

How his fiery and determined eyes held me in place as fear shook my entire being and left me spellbound…

It's been years since that, and I've inherited the title of Vongola. I've fought, gotten stronger, gained allies as well as enemies, gained the Varia's trust, all because I wanted to seem strong, for him.

I've said it to him, countless times, "I love you." I did not require any answer, I knew somewhere deep in my heart, that he cared for me, but I wanted to know, before I left…

I braced my heart and walked down the hall of the Varia mansion, heading for my destination, his office.

I knocked, not expecting an answer, and stepped in. Sure enough, he was there, sitting, his back facing me.

"X-Xanxus…" I managed to choke out

"Scum, why are you here?"

"…Xanxus, I love you." I said, managing to keep my voice steady and determined.

I screwed my eyes shut, waiting for an answer, hoping it was the one I've yearned to hear.

Please, please just say you love me back.

"Che, I don't love anyone."

Why?

I love you…so much….why won't you say you love me?

Please, just this once, please tell me you love me.

"You're the boss of the Vongola, ACT LIKE IT!" He shouted.

I could tell he was angry, but I had to do this.

I went around his chair and saw him, his eyes closed, head rested on one hand, wrapped my arms around his neck and I kissed him. Desperate, searching for any sign that told me how he felt.

"I love you." I whispered into his ear.

He opened his eyes and I leaned back, and smiled a grim smile, seeing his still fiery red eyes.

"Xanxus, I love you." I repeated.

"Che, just leave already." He replied.

He was staring intently at me, he sensed something was wrong…He was getting suspicious. I inwardly smiled at that, but kept a grim expression. Since that only shows to prove that he knew me so well, but I had to leave. Before he figured it out…

I flashed him another smile, one full of grief and sorrow, but not wanting him to find out, I hid all the ugly feelings of me wanting him to just hold me and tell me to stay with him. But…it was Xanxus, the man who was destined to have been Vongola Decimo, the one who was feared because of his wrath and power, but got the title stolen by me…He was supposed to hate me, want to kill me, but I knew that he loved me.

So I turned and started to walk out of his room, with steady, hurried steps, whispering a goodbye as a tear escaped and rolled down my cheek. Knowing I would regret leaving his side…Even if I told him where I was going, what would he say? Forbid me to go? If he had, I wouldn't find the courage nor the strength to deny him. Because all I wanted to do was spend the rest of my life with him.

I knew I wanted him to say that he loved me, that he cared, but it didn't matter, and there was no room for my selfishness, because even though it was unspoken, I knew that he loved me. Like how I loved him.

"Sayonara, and…gomenasai."

Three days later, Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo, was pronounced dead, shot by Byakuran.
