AN: I actually didn't want to post this before I finished my other fic but I am getting rather stuck on what happens next :/ so think of this as a one shot until further updates ;) Also I normally don't like OCs in stories but I needed this one since it helps the plot so please forgive me :)

Chapter 1

"Juudaime!"

Gokudera rushed over to where his boss and the rest of the guardians were trapped.

"Gokudera-kun!" cried Tsuna, happy that the storm guardian came to save him. But then a man walked in front of the cage the group was held in.

The man was very tall and looked like Zakuro with blonde hair and gold eyes. He wore a formal white suit with a black undershirt.

"Well, look who's come to play."

Gokudera glared at the man with intense hatred. He begins to ready himself and pulls out the dynamite.

Gokudera throws dynamite at the man who quickly dodges it and chuckled, amused. The man quickly sticks sky flame coated slips of paper on the storm guardian.

Gokudera struggled against the paper restraints and found himself unable to move.

"Tsk tsk, what a rude boy, attacking me with a second thought," the man mockingly scolded the storm guardian.

"How dare you kidnap Juudaime!" Gokudera growled, "I don't need any more reason than that to attack people like you!"

"Oh, but I really need your precious Vongola Decimo. You see, I was going to be paid very well to capture the young Vongola boss," the man explained.

"Che, the Vongola can easily beat the price they have given you!"

"Oh really?" said the man, seemingly amused by it all, "They promised me the souls of all seven wives and all twenty-six children."

Gokudera was shocked and brought a cautious look on his face before questioning, "Who are you?"

The man smiled slyly and said, "You mean what are you.

I am the demon mercenary, Gorudo. I can execute my jobs perfectly against simple humans like you," another chuckle from the man put Gokudera even more on edge as Gorudo continued, "Of course, I can decide whether or not I finish it, depending on the price. The more precious it is to the contractor, the more value it is worth to me."

"So," said Gokudera as he lowered his head, "anything precious to me?"

"Yes, any single thing."

"Then," the storm guardian whispers quietly so that only Gorudo could hear, "my existance?"

"Hahahaha!" cackles Gorudo, "It's not that much to you but I'll make an exception since it's worth sooooo much to your friends over there!"

"Just keep them safe," his eyes harden, "Please."

"Very well, at the toll of your existance, I will let your famiglia go and as a bonus I'll keep em safe!" flames surround Gorudo and went wild as it started consuming everything in the room, "That is our contract!"

"Gokudera-kun!"

"Gokudera..."

"Tako-hedo..."

"Waaah! Bakadera!"

The rest were silent as the events unfolded.

"I'm sorry Juudaime, I've failed you," he says as his eyes grew sad.

He falls into darkness, his vision fading.

"I'm so sorry."
