A baby in a suit wearing a black fedora hat could be seen holding a green phone. Around him, lanky teenagers were gathered; A boy with raven hair concealing a pair of tonfas, another boy with black hair and teal, light brown eyes, a gray-haired boy who looked like a delinquent, a blue-haired girl holding a trident, and a certain aho-shi who was running around without noticing the tense atmosphere.

"Yeah, He disappeared. But he isn't somebody to run off without leaving a note or something." The baby talked into the phone.

"Kuso!" cursed the gray-haired boy, who was in fact the Vongola Famiglia's Arashi no Shugosha(Guardian of the Storm). The impatient boy turned to the baby, and said, "Reborn-san, shouldn't we search for Juudaime?"

"I think so too, Akambo(baby)." The teal-eyed teen, Yamamoto Takeshi, Vongola's Ame no Shugosha(Guardian of the Rain), joined in.

The baby's fedora shadowed his eyes. Even though he was hiding his feelings with an exellent poker face, he was quite worried about his student, Sawada Tsunayoshi, the Vongola X in training and the O-Sora no Shugosha(Guardian of the Great Sky). He's been missing from Namimori for three days now.

Everyone close to Tsuna has gathered in his house, including Dino of the Cavallone Famiglia, Ken and Chikusa, Irie Shoichi, Vongola 9th's representitive Xanxus(though he was grumbling and was saying (1)"Kasu" to everyone), Miura Haru, and Sasagawa Kyoko. Tsuna's mom, Nana became hysteric as soon as she heard her son was missing, and called Iemitsu, who brought a whole team of CEDEF cadets (including Colonello and Lal Mirch from COMSUBIN) over air in less than 3 hours – which is virtually impossible.

Sasagawa Ryohei returned, after running around that whole town and even through the Namimori Mountain.

"Sawada is EXTREMELY not here!" he shouted, even though he was right in front of everyone.

"Shut up, Shiba-hu-attama(Turf-head – Did I spell that right?)" said a more-pissed-than-normal Gokudera – which was saying a lot.

Chrome timidly asked Reborn, "Ano, Reborn-san, I think we should look for Boss."

"I EXTREMELY think so, too!"

"Then I guess it's about time we find the Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said.

"LET'S GO!"


Tsuna awoke with a start. How weird, he thought, Reborn didn't forcefully wake me up. He tried to get up, but when he tried to move his legs or arms, he realized he wasn't able to do so. Okashii...(Weird...) Is it Reborn? He thought.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps.

"Re-Reborn?" He called out. Suddenly, his eyes focused. A hostile presence! His super intuition screamed.

Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

Tsuna quickly turned his head, a projectile missing his head by a hair-width. It whistled past his ear.

Indignant and weary, Tsuna complained, "What was that for, Reborn! It nearly hit me!"

But as soon as he said that, he realized that it wasn't reborn who was standing in front of himself.

"It was supposed to hit, you know," A familiar voice spoke from the dark, its sound a clear ring in the air.

Tsuna froze, petrified by the voice. He managed to speak out,

"Omae(You), masaka(it can't be)-!"

"Bingo!" The shadow spoke gleefully. Even in the dark, Tsuna clearly recognized the person.

"Maa... I'm glad you recall me, O great Vongola Juudaime. Demo, I'm going to kill you later, but for now, O,YA,SU,MI(Good Night!)!

With no warning, a strong fist punched him in the guts. The sudden impact made Tsuna cough up blood. As Tsuna began to lose consciousness, he saw a marshmellow falling to the ground. "How..." He croaked, and his world became completely dark. A drop of blood fell on his Sky Ring.


Suddenly, all of the Shugoshas felt a strange chill. Huh? They thought, but a blunt impact that came afterwards knocked the breath out of them.

In Decimo Patrol 1, Yamamoto fell to the ground, Gokudera's eyes glazed over, and Chrome winced.

In Decimo Patrol 2, Ryohei crumpled, Lambo started crying, and Hibari grunted.

With their reciever ear-pieces, they could hear each other breathe heavily.

"What was that just now?" Yamamoto was the first to speak.

"Aho-Tsuna, where are you?" Lambo wailed.

"Ano, sorry to disturb all of you, but I think that force just came from the rings." Chrome spoke.

"Minna(Everyone), why don't we check?" said Yamamoto.

Everyone took out their Vongola rings, their eyes widening in shock. Every ring was tainted with the color of blood.

"Juu...dai...me...?" Gokudera stuttered, absolute fear taking over himself.

"Sawada?" said Ryohei in an uneasy tone.

The Guardians looked at the sky, also tainted red from the setting sun.


At the Sawada residence, Iemitsu and Dino jolted up. At the same time, Kyoko and Reborn took in a sharp breath, making a slight hissing sound.

"Did you-" started Iemitsu, before getting cut off by the Cavallone.

"Just feel that?" Dino breathed uneasily.

"It almost felt like a car smashing into me!" Iemitsu exclaimed.

Reborn gained his composure again and concentrated on the reciever, listening to the Guardians. He was standing at the windowsill. He shot a glance at Kyoko, who was sitting with her head bowed low. Half of her face was shadowed but Reborn's sharp, Hitman eyes could see newly formed tear trails on her face. Next to her Shoichi wa busy scanning the monitor of the built-in radar on his laptop.

"Dame-tsuna." Reborn muttered, looking up at the glistening night sky.
