A/N: Hello. This is my second attempt at writing fanfic. I believe I posted this one few years ago, but got easily distracted and stopped writing it after second chapter. The idea never died thought.

I also feel obligated to tell you that it's gonna be much darker than previously planned. ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. All right to that belong to Amano Akira.

The main character of this story thought is all my creation. ^^

Prologue

The sun was already setting, casting a long shadow over a forest and coloring it the darkest green. It was within that very forest that the base of the NWP was hidden. NWP stood for New World's Peace. They were the organization that kept protecting regular but also not so ordinary people against the tyranny of Millefiore Mafia Family .- The group of criminals that not so long ago had taken over the world through oppression and fear..
Slowly and steadily they destroyed governments of countries all over the world and took over. Those that fought for freedom were either killed or sought protection from NWP – the last standing opponent to that pointless dictatorship.
Yet their hideout got discovered… Having no time to move everything somewhere safe, someone had to be sacrificed so that the others could escape…

Two lone figures stood beside the window looking at the smoke coming between trees and out into the open sky. Enemy forces put everything on fire so that no one could escape. The view was indeed saddening. Smaller one out of the two turned from it and put some distance between herself and the windows. There was nothing else that could be done to change what was to come. He would come… that much was certain, for he would want to watch the fall of the last obstacle. NWP would never be the same having lost their Leader.
Much taller person came to stand in front of the smaller one.
"Ina-chan…"said the person.
"I'm afraid, Shou-chan." the girl said, stepping a little closer and wrapping her arms around the larger form of the man.
"We were planning this for last two years. You know it's the only way." He said trying to sound convincing – to himself or her, he did not know. "As our Leader you know best, that He would not come for anyone else. It had to be us." he added playing with girl's hair.
Ina looked up at him and caught his eyes. "I know. That's not what I meant… What if something goes wrong?" she asked and pulled away.
His eyes softened. "You need to have faith my friend." The man reached under his shirt and pulled out a pendant. "I want you to give it to him if he ever comes to deserve it." he said handing object to a lot younger girl. A lone tear escaped her eye.
They both knew the time has come when loud footsteps could be heard from outside the room.
With loud crashing sound the doors were destroyed.
A few squadrons burst into the room and took position around the pair.
"Hooo~~~ Look what we have here~~"sounded an overly cheery voice. Both Ina and her companion stood still not moving even an inch. They were scared... not of the enemy but simply scared. Just like when you find yourself in situation that puts everything you know in danger. It's very human to get scared.
Then they saw him as he came inside - the Leader of Millefiore Family – Byakuran –The man responsible for all the suffering and disruption in the world. His sick ambitions of world's domination ruined the current time. People without power were either killed or they starved to death on the streets while those few who had enough resolution to light their flames lived in luxury. That disgusted Ina the most. All of that was this man's fault. Where ever he appeared the death and destruction followed him.
When Ina was still a little girl she believed that maybe someday the good would win...but that never happened... And now NWP - the last standing righteous organization was going to fall for she had no doubt that he would track down her Family and kill them all and there was nothing she could do at the moment to protect them from Byakuran and his wrath.
Ina noticed Shouichi looking at her briefly. It was almost time.
"My dear Ina-chan~~~~ How does it feel to lose?~~" asked Byakuran.
"I have yet to experiance that feeling you fiend!" she sneered at the comment.
The white haired man opened his eyes at her hostile tone. His smile immediately dropped and as he waved his hand Millefiore forces seized Shouichi, knocking him to the ground. He fell with a thud.
"Don't test my patience little girl." he spit. "Now tell me where it is. Where did you hide it?"
Ina stiffened. Of course he would ask that. After all, when she escaped she took it with her.
After a moment Byakuran sighed. "My, my.~~~Don't you care what happens to Shou-chan?"
The girl looked up at him then and cristal blue met lavender.
Before anyone could react she raised her hand showing what rested on her wrist. It looked like some kind of device slightly resembling a watch. The numbers on the front were falling rapidly as if counting.
Byakuran's eyes widened immediately.
"I assume you figured out what it is." Ina said with a sad smile. She gave her friend a brief glance and looked back to Leader of the current world. "Mark my words, Byakuran... I am going to destroy you. That is a promise."
"Wait!"he shouted obviously afraid, but it was already too late.
With a bright light Ina disappeared.

Mafia Boss stalked over to Shouichi and grabbed him by his collar. Bringing him to his level he shouted "Where is she!?"
Red head only chuckled. "Somewhere you will never find her."
Byakuran gritted his teeth and showed his hand into his best friend's stomach, killing him instantly.

Somewhere far away in a distant past small girl landed harshly on the pavement. Her sight blurry, all she could see was someone kneeling in front of her, but before she could do anything she saw black.
