PROLOGUE

"Why...why did you go..." a man cried while laying on the muddy ground, clothes torn, face covered in dirt, rainsoaked clothes clutching to his skin.
A half-empty bottle clenched tightly in his fist that was shaking against his chest as he pulled himself into a cradled position.
"...why did you leave me here..." he sobbed quietly, not knowing anymore which streakes on his cheeks were because of the rain and which were his tears.
Truth to be told, he didn't care, he had long ago given up on caring.

"Tsuna! I see him!" Suddenly the tranquility of the rainfall was broken by hastened footsteps and shouts.

The lump on the ground did not move nor react to them, instead he just stared deep into the forest, almost as if waiting for something.

"Gokudera!" The tenth generation mafia boss cried out to his friend while making his way down the hill side, yamamoto running some distance behind him.

*Oh, why do they keep finding me, why wont they just let me go..*

"Gokudera!" Tsuna haistily shaked the shoulder of his storm guardian while kneeling next to him."Hey, Gokudera, asnwer me..." He said softly, grasping the hand that was holding the bottle so thightly his knuckles were white. The moment his hand made contact with Gokudera's, his eyes flew open and he hastily lifted his other hand to touch Gokuderas' cheek.
"You're ice cold...oh..Gokudera.." He turned to Yamamoto who now stood beside him.
"Yamoto, he..we need to get him warm and out of this rain..." He saw that neither of them had remembered to wear a jacket in their haste to head out, they both were wearing mere jeans and t-shirts, nothing to keep the cold body that had laid on the ground, for god know's how long, warm.

He then heard light shuffling of clothes and felt something warm cover his hand that still hovered on top of Gokudera's

"What are you two standing around for? Can't you see he's already starting to turn blue?"

Hibari stated calmly and crouched down to pick Gokudera off the ground, Tsuna looked carefully at his face and saw indeed, that he was very,very cold, probably near hypothermia.
"Hibari-san, thanks..." He quietly said, still shocked by the evenings events.

"Let's just get him into the warm, I'm going ahead, I'll meet you inside."

"Yosh, see you there" Yamamoto said smiling weakly and watching the retreating back of Hibari.

"How did it come to this..." Tsuna mumbled from his position on the ground and noticed something glimmering on the ground, lifting up, he realized it was a ring
*isn't there anything we can do for you?...*
A hand was laid on his shoulder in a comforting manner, he turned to looked at Yamamoto and smiled lightly, he knew that being gloomy wouldn't help.

"We..we should head after Hibari and Gokudera... I think I have to discuss this with Reborn, the situation is too much for me to handle..." Tsuna rose to his feet and slipped the ring into his pocket, Yamamoto noticed this,but didn't ask any questions,he was thinking too, that they needed a solution to this, and quick..

Both of them were silent while making their way to the mansion, amongst the path the lead there they could see Hibari's footprints that stayed at equal distance the whole time, which meant that he had been running with the same speed altrough the way.
*We are all equally worried...I just wonder how we could get it trough to him...* Tsuna wondered deep in thoughts, he had been at a loss before, but now he knew that he had to do something, even if it meant letting someone else take care of the cituation.

"Don't worry, I'm sure this will turn out alright at the end" Yamamoto said smiling kindly and patting Tsuna on the shoulder.
Sighing deep, Tsuna climbed up the stairs to the front door
"I sure hope so..." he answered as he grabbed the metallic handle and pulled the door open,
the warm air clashing against the cool air outside as they stepped inside.

Ok. This is just a prologue,so excuse it for it's shortness, I am not sure how long this is going to get,but I can warn already that due to the themes this fic is going to be handling, it's rating will go up. There'll be no lemon,...yes no lemon, no matter what.
Obviously,there's going to be some softer scenes but... There is and will be character death, mental problems and some other so..
As for the pairings, this is mainly 6959, there is some 3380 and that's about it.. (altough Hibari seems way too comfortable around Tsuna...)
I'll be updating the next chapter soon, as soon as I figure out where to cut the text : ].
Thanks for reading and hopefully i'll see you in the next chapter :3
