Declaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Chapter 1

Run As Fast As You Can

Listen to the resonated sound of silence. Your eyes are closed and your breathing is slow. Open them. Open your eyes to the endless pit of darkness that surrounds you and swallows you. Engulfed in a never ended blanket of pure emptiness. Infinitive.

That's what I saw when I looked up the night sky. The sun had completed its tour for the day, and had now been replaced by no stars, they seemed to not want appear on this day. A low, waning gibbous moon hovered tenuously in the twilight firmament, bestowing a very dim light upon the land. It was a cool, windy night; the swaying of trees and rustling of leaves could be heard but not seen, as the encompassing darkness had blotted out all but the faintest light. Briefly, a dark, wispy cloud eclipsed the crescent moon. For a few shadowy moments, it looked like there was a halo around the cloud, a dull aura of lunar luminescence.

The vast expanse of inky blackness darkened as the night went on. There was a light breeze that rustled the leaves as I looked up though the tree branches it was easy to believe it was endless, that it went on forever. In the distance, a small unknown town could be seen, the windows of light could mimic the stars if they were there, and a church bell tolling the witching hours melancholic start.

Though this didn't seem to last long as I heard metallic clinking somewhere behind me and turned when a chain shot out of nowhere and made its way at me.

I jumped on another branch as my survival instinct took over by grabbing the nearest three branches and moved before the chain made its way at me again. I thought I had masked my flames (aura) but it seemed they were still being able to find me...

I gave a blank stare at the ones in front of my appeared when I landed on the ground. They were wrapped in bandages all over their bodies and wear black torn cloaks, all varying differently, and black hat. There were seven of them, as always they were together, she remember for as long as she could they were always together but apart whenever they were other jobs. There latest one... to bring me back to their boss... Bermuda von Veckenschtein.

Me... well I guess I had another relation to that man, who raised me since I was young but for other reasons I found out not long ago, the one who I actually called oii-san.

My name is Yoru... Yoru Veckenschtein. Well... it was but now I don't know, all I am for now is Yoru... just Yoru...

I was human... I think, before I meet that man, I knew I had a family of some kind but they were long forgotten when I was taken to some other Familinga, that's what it's called in the mafia, and I don't really remember much. There was a few boys I seem to remember, not their names, but others things. Like a yellow dog, a pineapple, and a pair of glasses with a bar code of some kind. I tried to remember whatever I could but nothing else came up but those are the only things I was able to come up with.

Let me get back to where I am now, if you don't mind.

You will be coming back with us...

They say that, they'll complete their mission they were given, no matter the cost. I jumped when two dashed at me, their cloaks bellowing behind them. I gave the one on the left a kick in the head while they turned, pushing the one into the others and jumped backwards.

I won't go with them... I won't go back... Not after what I knew what they wanted to with me... So I ran when I had the chance and have been for the last few days, I think, I couldn't tell the time except that it was night time. The time when they would come after me. It seemed that during the day other humans were out and they didn't want to get caught or for whatever other reason.

I felt a chain wrap around my wrist and yank me forward by the head of the group, he was the one I didn't like the most but it was sad that my heat said otherwise for that. I yanked back at them, using my flames, the same ones as all of them- the ones I was born, that seemed to be main reason for them to keep there, at their hideout or prison for the ones who broke their rules. That's what they were the ones who protect the laws of the Mafia world. The ones who have been around for as long as the Mafia has existed. The Vindice.

Those who defy their laws are said to be arrested without hesitation and are doomed to spend the rest of their lives in an inescapable prison known as the Vendicare Prison. That's the place I called home for as long as I remember; even with the jails filled with the lawbreakers I see every now and then when my curiosity got the best of me. So many of them I have met, of all different sizes and colors as well.

I felt the flames build up around me as I got of the chain's grip and fired at them. That was when I made it out of there, my escape as it was. Not much of a fight, I guess it was that they were as tired as I was. I took a hold of the chain around my neck, the only thing that he gave to me, but... there was something to it when he gave me this not long ago, it was the Clear Pacifier, the pacifier of the Flame of Night. That's the flame I had with me for my life. I asked why I was given to it and why I never changed forms as he was small, like a baby.

He said, "It's not technically yours right now, that is why it won't glow and you won't change form until my time is up. But I am giving you this because I know you will be ready soon, so hold on to it until then."

That's all he said before he left to do whatever he else had to do. I opened my eyes as I felt myself shift through my flames of a portal I was able to create, from all the training I received from the time before hand. I fell to the ground; well it was more like the trees caught me with the help of some of my chains. It seemed that I was in an old, run-down amusement park of some sort. Where was I?

But I was so tired right now. It seemed that everything was not starting to come to me. I could feel my chains slipping from the hold they had on the tree branches and I feel to the ground a few under me with a thud. I closed my eyes slowly as the chains disappeared as well as my flames. I moaned out when I felt something touch me and only saw a blurry image of two figures that seemed so distantly familiar until I slipped into the endless pit of darkness that surrounded me and swallowed me up.
