Hello! This series is actually a continuation of " Darkness that Illuminates " so some parts may not be clear but I'll try to clarify it. If you have read it, thank you so much! XD After re-reading this, I didn't feel very satisfied but I do hope you will give it a shot! These few chapters may not make sense with the title yet it will soon! Thanks for reading on! :D

Okay erm... Let's make things clearer shall we?

Tsukiyo is an OC, ( I'm sorry if you don't like OC's or if you feel that she's too mary-sue and stuff. If it's really that bad, do tell me what's wrong so I can tweak some details~ ) and a member of the Varia. The other three OC's are the remaining guardians of the previous family Tsuna and the others fought in the first series.

Oh yes, one more thing, there are no pairings ( unless you want any of course. )

I guess that's about it so... Enjoy and review!

Ah! I almost forgot, disclaimer!

DISCLAIMER: I don't mind not owning KHR but can I have the seiyuus instead?

" Aahhh... Back in Italy! " Tsukiyo stretched her arms and strolled out of the airport. " Huh?... " She squinted in the sunlight and saw a familiar person. " Squalo?... " He was leaning against a white sports car, arms folded and had his usual irritated look on his face.

" Voooi! The boss asked me to fetch you so hurry up and get in! " Tsukiyo complied and got into the front seat as the other people stared in awe.

" So how's everything? " Tsukiyo asked, breaking the silence.

" Normal as usual, with Xanxus and Bel pissing me off. Bel is supposed to be training or helping; whatever you call it, Fran but I think you're better off with him. "

" Huh? Why? "

" Hmph. You'll see what that idiot Bel does. "

The car soon approached the Varia mansion and Tsukiyo stared blankly out of the window. " Did you renovate the exterior? "

" Those scums destroyed a part of it! " Squalo huffed. They were spending more money on renovation than anything else. Even more than Lussuria's clothes.

As Squalo opened the large doors, a knife came whizzing past them, hitting a tree behind the loud swordsman.

" VOOOOI! What the hell, Bel! " Squalo shouted, waving his sword around.

" Ushishishi...Hey froggy, the peasants are back! " Bel threw a few more knives behind him.

" Ouch, that hurt, Bel-sempai. " came a monotonous voice. Fran walked up to them, pulling out the knives lodged on his large hat. " Hi Squalo. Hi Tsukiyo. Long time no see, how is my pineapple master? "

" Pfft... He's fine... He'll... Be out soon I guess... Pffft... Ahahahaha!... " Tsukiyo could not hold back and started laughing. " What is with that hat? A frog? I didn't know you had such a fetish! Ahahahahaa... "

" ... They made me wear it because Mammon is not here. " Fran said, pointing at Bel.

" Shut up, froggy. You look good in that anyway! Ushishishi... "

" Sigh. " Fran smacked his forehead. " What did I do to deserve this. " He turned and walked away, with Tsukiyo following him.

" I didn't know that the peasant knew the frog. " Bel mumbled.

" Tch, me neither. "

~~~~~~~.

" How are your illusions now? " Fran asked as they walked down the hallway.

" I haven't been using them! It's not like I can become an illusionist anyway. " Tsukiyo protested.

" Why not? Pineapple master said you could make some good ones if you actually bothered to. "

" Whatever. Please stop calling Mukuro pineapple master. You're putting a wrong image in my head! " she could see the image slowly forming in her head and doing a samba dance. Hah, if Mukuro ever saw that image, he would hunt her down for sure.

" Have you heard about Lorenzo Benigno? " Fran lowered his voice.

" What about it? " she whispered, looking around.

" He's alive. "

" How is that possible? He would be at least a hundred years old now. "

" He's probably still experimenting things I guess. "

" Well, that got his granddaughter killed. " Tsukiyo scoffed, rolling her eyeballs.

" Tsukiyo-chaaaan!~ Welcome baaack!~ " Lussuria dashed towards her from the kitchen, arms wide open and Tsukiyo accepted the hug for once.

" Yo, Lussuria. "

" My, my, you and Fran are getting along~ "

" Shut up! We've known each other for a while now. "

" Ah~ Unrequited lo- " BAM. Tsukiyo kicked him in the stomach.

" You read too much sappy romance stuff. Come on Fran. " Tsukiyo quickly led Fran away.

" We'll talk about it another time, " she whispered. " I have to go see... Sigh... Xanxus. "

" Good luck. I think I hear Bel-sempai. "

Making her way to Xanxus' office, she could hear shouting and expletives flying through the air.

" Useless trash! I said I wanted beef! Not lamb! " Xanxus threw the plate at the chef who was cowering in fear.

" I... I'm so... Sorry but we... Ran out of... Beef... " he stammered, clearing up the mess.

" Then get it! " grumbled Xanxus. A hungry Xanxus is a very angry Xanxus.

" Y... Yes sir!... " he said, running away and almost knocking into Tsukiyo. " Sorry miss! "

" Yo Xanxus. I'm back! " she smiled, knocking on the door.

" Like I care, trash. " he glared.

" Ahaha I know you do~ So what did you want to see me for? "

" The famiglia that you and those Vongola guardians fought. There's more to it than just a simple revenge. "

" It's that ex-Vongola inventor right? That Lorenzo guy. "

Xanxus grunted. " How did you know? This was supposed to be classified information. You better keep it to yourself, trash. Or else. "

" Yea yea. So details? "

" Call Mammon. I can't be bothered to explain now. " Xanxus said with a frown and went back to his work.

" Tch. Fine. " Tsukiyo returned to her room and fell onto her bed. " Why can't this situation be less complicated? " she said to herself, punching her pillow. Suddenly her phone rang, jolting Tsukiyo from her thoughts. " Hello? "

" Oi. When are you coming back? We have nothing to do here. "

" Huh? Deimos? I won't be back so soon... And go find something to do then. "

" Aaron found a job at a cafe, Neko has gone to elementary school, I'm at home doing nothing. "

" Then go to school! "

" What? High school ? Where? "

" Nanimori dammit! There's a high school section there. "

" Keep dreaming. I'll wait till you come back. Or, I could just go and find you. "

" What? No! The Varia will kill you!... "

" Yeah right. See ya. " Deimos hung up, leaving Tsukiyo aghast. It took her a few minutes to completely process the information before punching her pillow and looking for a wall to smash her head against.

~~~~~~~.

" Tsukiyo-chaaan~ How's the breakfast? " Lussuria chirped, bright as usual in the mornings where everyone was still half asleep.

" Yeah, good. " Suddenly the doorbell rang. " I'll get it. " Tsukiyo jumped off her chair and trudged towards the door. The moment she opened it she gasped. " DEIMOS? "

" Yo. Oh, so you don't wear your contacts here huh? "

Lowering her voice to a whisper, " What. Are. You. Doing. Here? I told- "

" Ooohh my~ Tsukiyo-chaaan! You have a boy- "

" Shut up! " she kicked him in the stomach again.

" Ushishishishi... What do we have here? Another peasant at our doorstep. " Bel snickered.

" VOOOOOI! Who the hell is that? "

" This is Deimos, he was from the Girasole- "

" I don't have any of their powers, I only joined for the sake of joining. " he explained.

" Hmph. Get that trash in and make him tell us about that famiglia. " Xanxus said from behind.

~~~~~~.

" What's he doing here? " Deimos pointed at Fran.

" Mukuro, Fran and I are doing some secret work on Lorenzo Benigno, Aoi's grandfather. "

" Why? "

" Something big is going to happen and it's not pleasant so please tell us everything you know about him. "

" Look, I'm not too familiar with the Girasole but one thing I know is that Aoi was being controlled by someone and probably not her grandfather. "

" Oh yeah, she did mention a master that time. "

" Top priority now is to get Pineapple master out. " Fran said.

"Pineapple master? " Deimos asked inquisitively.

" Mukuro. " Tsukiyo deadpanned.

" ... I don't see any link. "

" Don't worry, you will soon. It was pretty dark that time. "

~~~~~~~.

" Everything is back to normal, no more fighting for now... " Tsuna reassured himself, continuing with his homework.

" Not going to happen, dame-Tsuna. " Reborn appeared from nowhere and banged a Leon-hammer on his head. " Where's your Vongola boss spirit? "

" Reborn! That seriously hurt! What do you mean it's not going to happen? "

" Like you said, something is going happen. "

" But I just said that as a thought!- Wait, you mean something is really happening? " Tsuna groaned and smacked his forehead.

" Training will resume tomorrow. Don't be late. " Reborn ordered, ignoring his student's complains. He jumped off the table and left the room.

" What happened to my normal life...? " Tsuna whined when Reborn was out of earshot. Okay, maybe he didn't really hate being in the mafia that much anymore. If he wasn't in the mafia, he would never have met Gokudera, never met Lambo, never made friends with Yamamoto and Ryohei, much less Mukuro though he still got chills whenever the illusionist was near, never understood Hibari and might never have gotten Kyoko's attention. Ah, Kyoko... She knows that we're involved with the mafia now... Despite that, Kyoko accepted that fact easily. Tsuna felt that he wasn't as dame as before anymore. Being in the mafia meant enemies and enemies meant that his family would be in danger all the time.
I will protect them! He stood up, punching his fist in the air. For the sake of protecting them, I will... Endure Reborn's training tomorrow... Tsuna cringed at the thought of it and sat on his bed. I'll think about that tomorrow...

~~~~~~~.

So tired... Tsukiyo walked down the empty hallways, the sound of her shoes shuffling. Deimos followed behind her, yawning.

" Fran? " she said, entering the kitchen. " Where are the others? "

" Mission. " Fran answered, chewing on his sandwich. " We're going to get Mukuro today. "

" Hm... Okay. " turning to Deimos, " What do you want to eat? "

" Anything. "

" Ah yes, Squalo told me to tell you that your new uniform is in his room and you have to get it yourself. "

" Tch. Can't that idiot just put it in my room? " Tsukiyo turned and walked out. As her footsteps became softer, Deimos turned to Fran. " You close to her? "

" Not as close as master Mukuro. They met when they were kids. Destroyed mafias together. Ah, what wonderful memories. " Fran said expressionlessly.

- Flashback –

Huff, huff, huff...

A girl ran through the corridors, using her metallic claws to slash anyone that was in her way, spraying blood everywhere.

" There she is! Get her! Hurry! " a group of men in suits started firing at her. She dodged most of them skillfully but one had managed to lodge itself in her arm.

" Damn you, " she cursed, turning around. With a flick of her wrist, the shadows from her claws crept out and dived towards her attackers. The shadows shrouded them, infecting them. Hellish thoughts started to invade their pitiful minds and they screamed a scream no one would ever imagine one could. Their eyes bled, the blood flowing from them turning from crimson red to black, and after a while, they exploded, splattering their body parts all over the hall. Patches of red and black were a sight to see, as the girl smirked arrogantly at her wonderful masterpiece. " Serves you right. " she said, coldly. Suddenly, she felt another presence appear. Pivoting round swiftly, she jumped at a figure that was about her age. With claws to his neck, she hissed, " Who are you? How long have you been watching? "

" Kufufufu... Just a while. I am Rokudo Mukuro, a pleasure to meet you. "

" ... Kageru Tsukiyo. " There was a moment of silence before Mukuro said, " Could you get off me? "

Tsukiyo withdrew her claws and stood up, getting a better look at the boy below her. His right eye was red with a kanji character of six and his left eye was blue. " You are from the Estraneo Famiglia? "

" Hmph, yes. How did you know? "

" Those bastards are doing experiments on kids! I'll kill them for what they're doing. "

" Are you like us? " pointing to Tsukiyo's discoloured eyes.

" No... This was done by some dude from another famiglia. " she said,clenching her fist. " But I already got rid of them. "

" Oya? So did I. " the boy smirked.

" What?... " He drew out a bloodstained trident from behind and threw it on the ground with a clank. " Oh. "

" I'm going to destroy the entire mafia world and bring them down to hell. "

" I just want to kill the famiglias that I think are bad. "

" You think? " Mukuro raised his eyebrow.

" Killing is such a thrilling experience, the first time was horrible and I had such a sick feeling but subsequently, it just got better. So, I don't really care who's good or bad anyway. "

" Kufufu, then shall we join alliances? "

" Where are your friends? " Mukuro frowned at the question and answered gingerly, " They are not friends. They are merely tools for me. Anyway, I will meet up with them another time since we got separated. "

Tsukiyo surveyed him, thinking back about how he hid his presence so well before. " You are an illusionist? "

" Yes I am. " That explains it... His illusions are shaky yet powerful... Maybe I'll stick with him for a while.

Meanwhile, Mukuro was observing Tsukiyo, thinking how did she find out about the illusions he made. Those illusions could fool people three times his age and yet this girl was able to detect him so easily. Maybe she has some mist elements as well... Hm... This should be interesting...

~~~~~~~.

" Hmph, another successful destruction, " Tsukiyo said as they looked back at the burning building. " Riagano Famiglia destroyed. "

The pair had destroyed a total of five families in a week and their skill had increased tremendously. Mukuro could create better illusions and taught Tsukiyo how to make simple ones.

" Hey look! She shouted excitedly after creating an illusion of a dog.

" Oya? So you do have mist attributes... "

" Oh? "

" By the way, I will be meeting up with the people that I escaped with- "

" Your friends? "
" I have said it before, they are just toys, not friends. As I was saying, I will be meeting them so would you like to come along? "

" No thanks, I have some unfinished business to take care of. " she said, solemnly.

" In that case, I shall leave now, goodbye, till we meet again. " he waved, giving his usually smirk.

" See you next time then... "

~~~~~~~.

" How did you know so much about them? " Deimos asked.

" Trade secret. " Fran deadpanned.

Deimos in turn, rolled his eyes. " You know, that frog hat is ridiculous. "

" They made me wear it… "

" I'm back, hey, the new uniform is pretty cool! " Tsukiyo exclaimed. Her unbuttoned uniform length was to her knees, where her high boots were. The sleeves were folded just above the elbow.

" It's time. We'll go to the Vongola HQ first then to Vindice. " Fran stood up and threw a set of keys at Tsukiyo. " You drive. "

" Yes! " She shouted, running out to the garage.

She hopped into the sleek black sports car and revved up the engine. " Come on! "

" Are you sure you can drive? " Deimos asked warily as he got in.

" Of course! I've done plenty of car-jacking so I learn as I go. "

" Why not use your shadows, it's easier right? "

" Look, the shadows just provide an instant secret path. It's not some teleportation skill! " she grumbled, pausing for a while. " It's possible to use it from here to the HQ but since your here, enjoy the view! " Stepping on the accelerator, they sped off, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

" Tsu... Aren't you going a little too fast? " Fran asked, staring at the dial which was pointing at 170 miles per hour.

" Agreed. " Deimos said, holding on to the seat very tightly.

" Really? Oh, but there's no one on the road anyway and we're almost there. " they caught sight of a building, almost castle-like, standing majestically. The ride soon came to a screeching halt, and Tsukiyo got out and brisked walked to the large door. " Oh yea, we're going to be parking you here, Deimos. "

" What? Why can't I come along? "

" Hurry up, we don't have much time. " Tsukiyo dragged him by the hand and went towards the lounge. " I've told Nono and Dino about you and the others. " Pushing him into the room, she quickly went off.

" Che. "

" Are you Deimos? " A blonde man asked, entering the room.

" Yeah. "

" Hi I'm Dino, boss of the Cavallone family and this is Romario! "

" Erm... Hi. " Dino sat down on the leather sofa opposite Deimos and leaned closer. " What do you think of Tsukiyo? "

" Huh? "

" Don't hurt her feelings okay? "

" What? "

" She's nice once you get to know her but she's a little heartless at times. "

" What in the world are you talking about?... " After pausing for a few moments, he suddenly blushed. " No... No! We're not... Involved like that! "

" Now, now. She's like a little sister to me, like Tsuna is as a brother, so if you hurt her... You're dead. Understand? "

" Like I said, we're not involved- "

" Understand? " Dino said in a menacing tone.

Slightly intimidated, he had no choice but to answer, " Yes... "

" Good! " Dino stood up and walked out. " It was nice meeting you! "

Deimos rolled his eyes. " What the hell is with him? "

~~~~~~~.

" Well, we're here. " Fran got out of the car and looked up at the enormous prison which had a rather suffocating aura surrounding it. " It's bigger than I thought. "

" Are you sure you want to do this Fran? " Even though Fran was part of the Varia and also a relatively strong illusionist, he hadn't been exposed much to the outside world, making Tsukiyo a tiny bit worried.

Keeping a straight face, he replied, " Don't worry, I'll be fine. Let's go."

As they entered the prison, the smell of death hung in the air and wailing could be heard in the distance. They stepped into sticky puddles of blood and even a finger or a hand could be found detached from it's owner. Bruised hands reached out, desperately trying to grab them but they managed to avoid it.

" Here... " Fran mumbled. They stood in front of a blood-stained door with skull patterns. The whole place felt eerie but they had to endure. The door creaked opened and they stepped in hesitantly.

" Welcome... How may I help you?... "

How was the first chapter? I hope it wasn't that bad... Do drop a review! I practically live off them XD!
