Official Summary: (Horror, Romance, Tragedy, Angst, and Hurt/Comfort) Hibari Kyouya's lover, Rokudo Mukuro was said to have been tortured and killed during a solo mission. But if that is true, then how did he come back a year later and upon the same day as their anniversary? And why?

Prologue: His Death, Their Descent

'Rokudo Mukuro has deceased.'

'What?'

Crack…

'His remains were found in a box, we suspect it had been delivered by our enemies.'

'How do you even know it's him?'

'We found this along with the delivered items.'

Something opened, a bloodied eye revealed.

A cry resounded from somewhere behind.

Crack…

'Corpse is currently unrecognizable; we will start the reconstruction immediately.'

Crack…

'Autopsy discloses that he had been tortured for a long time before being killed.'

'When?'

'Since he went missing.'

Crack…

'Hibari Kyouya, this was addressed to you.'

A ring.

Crack…

No…

It's not true…

You're still here…

It's all a lie…

Crack…

Faints.

Someone gasps.

'Hibari-san!'

'Shit! He's going through seizure!'

'Quick, someone get the doctor!'

Panic ensues.

Crack…

'Take him to the ER!'

Why is it hard to breathe?

'Sir, his body's going into shock!'

Pulse becomes faint…

Falls to darkness

You said you'll be there…

You promised…

Where are you…?

A whisper...

'…Kyouya…'

His voice…

Craaaacks!

Shatters…


A/N: Was planning to do this with my partner, but was declined since horror isn't really Kawaii Tuna's forte. But anyway, still planning on the story's outcome, so review with criticisms, please.
