Chapter 2- A new transferred student, missing children and a new and unexpected daemon

(Tsuna's pov)

Hello. My name is Hakurei Tsunayoshi—a shaman in training. A couple of weeks ago I finally got out from my home schooling and got to go to Namimori middle school, that way I could learn how to be around with 'normal' people. But unfortunately my first day didn't go how I expected. An Akagami-Aogami; A malicious spirit who haunts bathrooms had killed a second year student. But thanks to Takeshi-kun's help, I was able to deal with the youkai and I sealed him for good.

I was surprised and yet happy when I learned that Takeshi-kun can see things that normal people can't see. Tenma is happy too since she will have another person beside of me and Hinoto oba-chan to talk to. Something is telling me Takeshi-kun will be not the only one with spiritual sight that I will hang out with.

(End of pov)

Tsuna and Takeshi were in Tsuna's room at Namimori's shrine. Takeshi was amazed with the number of spirits that lives in the shrine; from colorful hitodamas to animal spirits.

"Wow, I did not notice how much cheerful the shrine is than the last time I came here," Takeshi commented as he and Tsuna were doing their homework. Tenma was sleeping on Tsuna's bed.

"That's reminds me, Takeshi-kun. Since when did you start seeing spirits?" Tsuna asked out of curiosity.

"Hum…. I think since I was 9 years old, after my mother died from leukemia." Takeshi said.

Takeshi started to explain about how much he was in grief when his mother died and how much he missed her. But he got out from his grief when he saw a beautiful blue fireball around him and a woman that looked like his mother. At first he thought it was his mother, but the woman said that she was not; she was only using the image of his mother since she was born from her emotions. But the woman had no ill intentions, and she told Takeshi never to stop smiling, that way his mother could always live on in his smile.

"Since that day, I never stopped smiling. I do it for my mother's sake."

"Ah, I see." Tsuna smiled. "I think you saw a Mu-onna, and the blue flame might have been your mother's hitoma."

"What's a Mu-onna?" Takeshi asked, curious.

"Mu-onna is a faceless female spirit. She's a spirit created from a mother's tender feelings, protecting and confronting children. She always takes the shape of the deceased mother's child. They are not evil. Sometimes deceased mothers ask a Mu-onna or even create one with their feelings and emotions to give messages to their children. Your mother must have created this Mu-onna to comfort you and ask you never to stopping smiling."

Takeshi smiled after hearing this. He always remembered his mother being a very cheerful and beautiful woman. And he would never stop for his mother's sake.

Tsuna smiled. He remembered he saw a mu-onna once, when he was playing at the shrine's garden when he was little. The spirit was faceless when he met her, but he wasn't scared of her as she played with him like a mother would do with her child. Sadly, she could not take the shape of his birth mother like he had expected since he had no memories of his birth parents. The Mu-onna only took the shape of a young Hinoto since she was the only mother figure he had.

"Someday, I will find my birth parents," Tsuna thought to himself.

In Nanimori, it was night time. In the middle of the dark street, there was a lone and walking figure of a monk, playing softly a bamboo flute. While playing a beautiful melody, the monk was being followed by 8 children, children that supposed to be sleeping in their warm beds.

XXX

Tsuna was lying inside of his bed with his left arm hanging out to the side with Tenma was sleeping beside him. He slightly snored and muttered to himself about his dream.

"Who-who are you?"

*Dream sequence *

Tsuna found himself in a dark place. In there he could find see several children lying down with a monk sitting on a rock, while playing a bamboo flute. The scene vanished like smoke being taken by the wind. Then Tsuna sees another figure. He could not see his face but he knew it was a young boy, about his age, having beautiful silver hair and a red dragon behind him.

*end of the dream sequence*

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The doorknob turned, and a huge and old white tiger came walking in to find the boy still asleep. He shook his head in shame as he walks over towards the boy's bed and started shaking him to wake the boy up.

"Oi Tsuna. Wake up! It's 7:45," the tiger said. "You're going to be late."

As Tsuna shook his head, he opened his eyes and saw his grandmother's daemon standing over him. He wondered what was going on and turned towards his clock. The alarm clock was supposed to have gone off an hour ago. That is until Tsuna realized what happened. He had slept through the morning alarm. He quickly jumped out of his bed and gasped out.

"OH CRAP! 7:45!" Tsuna shouted out.

This sudden outburst caused Tenma to jump away from the side of the bed.

"Hey Tsu-kun * Yawn*, what's the big deal?" Tenma moaned. She was still sleepy.

"OH MY—! I can't believe I slept through my alarm! Byakko, why didn't you come and wake me up earlier?" Tsuna exclaimed and jumped out of his bed. "Holy crap, I don't want being bitten to death by Hibari-san."

"Hinoto and I have tried to wake you early but you sleep like a rock. Better you two be ready in 2 minutes before going to school," the tiger said before leaving the room.

Tsuna ran down the steps and quickly into the kitchen. He passed by and saw his grandmother Hinoto sitting at the table drinking her green tea. Hinoto was an old lady around of her early 70's. She was dressed in traditional miko robes and had a long white hair and shining green eyes . Byakko, her daemon tiger, laid beside her. The boy pulled out a bento with his lunch and placed it in his backpack.

"I don't have time to eat breakfast! I'll just eat something on my way to class!" Tsuna said as he closed the cabinets.

"You're going to be late, Tsu-kun," Hinoto pointed out.

"I know, Baa-chan. I will see ya later!" Tsuna said, kissing his grandmother's check. "C'mon, Tenma! Let's get moving!"

"I'm right behind ya, Tsu-kun! See you guys later!" Tenma waved to Hinoto and Byakko.

With the duo dashing out of the kitchen, Hinoto waved out and continued to drink her green tea.

"Poor Tsu-kun. I hope he manages to get to school on time."

"Something I doubt, very much, Hinoto," the old tiger said. "The usagi will be just like that usagi from Alice in wonderland."

Hinoto could not help but chuckle.

"Don't be so mean to him, Byakko-kun."

Tsuna and Tenma were running on their way to the school as he noticed several police cars talking to desperate women. If he remembered correctly, a few days ago, children started going missing. He was concerned that might be a youkai's doing. He would check this later after school.

Unbeknownst to Tsuna, the police was talking to a woman around her early 30's with short brown hair and brown eyes. She looked very desperate to the police officer.

"Calm down, Sawada-san."

"How can I be calm down? My children are missing since yesterday!" shouted the woman in tears.

XXX

Tsuna was sitting on his seat, panting for air. He had to run faster than normal to be in time. Luckily he arrived at Namimori middle school just in time, but he still had to run away from Hibari because Tsuna was running too fast for the prefect's rules.

"Were you bitten to death by Hibari-sempai?" Takeshi asked, smiling.

"I was…. almost …bitten, Takeshi-kun." Tsuna said, gasping for air.

Takeshi looked around and noticed something. Tenma was not in the class.

"Hey, Tsuna, where's Tenma?"

Tsuna just pointed towards the window. Takeshi looked to the direction of the window and saw Tenma, just like Tsuna gasping for air, while lying down in the tree's branch near of their class window. Then, the teacher came into the classroom.

"Listen up class, we have a new transfer student." the sensei said walking in class with a silver haired boy with green eyes walking right behind. The sensei gestured to the boy. "This is Gokudera Hayato who was studying overseas in Italy."

Gokudera looked like a delinquent, since he didn't wear a tie and his uniform shirt was unbuttoned showing a red undershirt. He wore necklaces around his neck and lots of bracelets and rings.

Tsuna blinked. He looked very familiar. He was sure he had seen him somewhere. Then he remembers the image of a silver haired boy with a red dragon. Could it be him? But he didn't feel anything from him, not even the presence of a daemon. He noticed that the transfer student was glaring at him.

'Hiee but his glare sure does remind me a dragon!' Tsuna thought, scared out of his mind.

XXX

On the roof, Tsuna and Yamamoto were eating their lunch together. They were discussing about the dreams that Tsuna had seen during the night.

"So you dreamed about a silver haired guy with a red dragon?" Takeshi asked, curious.

"Yeah, and then, I dream about sleeping children with a guy playing a bamboo flute to them. But I feel something wrong with the part of the children and the flutist," Tsuna commented as he ate a piece of his riceball before continuing. "I think it has to do with the missing children that have happening lately."

Takeshi frowned when he heard this. What kind of youkai wants to kidnap children? Tenma looked at Takeshi and started to explain to him there are several types of youkais that want to kidnap human for several reasons, like mating, killing, and even eating them. Rarely would youkais kidnap a human for the human's wellbeing.

"I am worried about the children. I feel the children are still alive, but yet I do not feel their presence." Tsuna frowned. His instincts were saying the children were alive but yet he still can't feel their presence, like if they were trapped in some kind of barrier.

"So, when do we act?" Takeshi asked, smiling.

At night, Gokudera was sitting on a branch at the part, smoking. He still wondered why he was in the Japan in the first place. Oh yeah, it's because of that woman, the one with a bright orange pacifier. He still remembered her smiling face and telling him to go to the Japan and find a kirin. Only the kirin would lead him to find a place where he would finally feel like he belonged.

"Agh! How the heck I will find a creature that does not even exist outside of book stories?" Gokudera shouted in frustration. "I should never have listened to that woman!"

Then, he heard voices. He turned around and he saw Takeshi and Tsuna in the park. He wondered why they were there so late in the night? Gokudera blinked confused when he saw something shiny walking with them. Then, his eyes widen in shock when saw the shiny thing was a kirin.

"It can't be…,"Gokudera muttered.

Meanwhile Tsuna, Tenma and Takeshi were in the park, looking for clues of the children's whereabouts. Tsuna could feel a small presence of the children, but he was still not where exactly they are.

"Hum… that's very odd," muttered Tsuna.

"What's up, Tsuna?" Takeshi asked.

"I feel the presence of the missing children, but it's very faint," Tsuna explained. "I think there's some kind of barrier around here."

"So, that means we're dealing with a youkai with a higher level than that Akagami-Aogami," commented Tenma, frowning. "Only high level youkai can make barriers."

"That will be troublesome," commented Takeshi. He might not have spiritual energy like Tsuna has, but he could feel there's something odd in that place. Something which is making him to want to go away from that place.

Suddenly, Tenma yelped as something lifted her. Takeshi and Tsuna turned around, and they saw Gokudera holding Tenma up. They were shocked, especially Tsuna since he didn't expect the transfer student to be able to see Tenma, much less touch her.

"I knew it! It's a real kirin!"Gokudera exclaimed, totally shocked and surprised with the small kirin in his hands.

Tenma didn't like the way Gokudera was looking at her. It was really scaring her. Especially when he's looking like he wants to eat her. She gave to the silver haired boy a headbutt. Gokudera hissed in pain as he placed his hand on his sore forehead as Tenma ran towards Tsuna.

"Hiiee! Tsu-kun!" she cried, hiding behind Tsuna.

Gokudera glared at Tsuna, as he grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"Hey, teme. Where did you find this kirin?"

"G-Gokudera-san, calm down, I dunno why you want a kirin, but Tenma is not even a real one. She's my daemon," Tsuna said, a little frightened.

"Hey hey, you shouldn't treat people like that." Takeshi said, trying to cool off the situation.

"You stay out of this!" Gokudera snapped.

Tsuna stepped back but he lost his balance. He grabbed Gokudera to avoid falling to the ground, but Gokudera also lost his balance and started to fall. Takeshi and Tenma tried to grab them, but they also fell.

Tsuna groaned as he felt Gokudera, Takeshi and Tenma landing on him. This was not one of his best nights.

"Would you get off me, please?" Tsuna groaned in pain.

"Sorry Tsu-kun," Tenma said she floated.

"Ma ma, my bad," Apologized Takeshi as he got up.

"What is this place?" Gokudera asked in his deep voice, a fine silver eyebrow raising in question as his eyes scanned the general area around them, once he had gotten to his feet. "Were we not in the park a second ago?"

Tsuna frowned, also pushing himself to his feet as he looked at their surroundings. They were in some kind of forest.

"Could it be…," He breathed out. Tsuna had this odd sense that he knew this place from somewhere. Then he looked at the trees around them, and he could see ropes with some paper seals.

"Paper seals?" Tsuna wondered. He knew he was sensing some kind of barrier, but he never imagined they would cross over the barrier in Namimori's park.

Tenma tried to cross the barrier of seals but she only could feel a small charge of electricity on her hooves, making her stepping back.

"Yep, that's a barrier for sure," Tenma commented.

Gokudera was confused; one minute, he was in Namimori Park, and now he was in a very odd forest. He wanted explanations, and he wanted them now. Before he could protest, Takeshi silenced them.

"Shh… did you hear that?" Takeshi asked, making a silent sign.

"Hear what?" Gokudera frowned.

"I am hearing something too," Tenma said.

Everyone was quiet, focusing on nothing but the odd sound they were hearing. It was a sound of a flute. They followed where the sound was coming from. When they arrived, they saw several children lying down in the ground, sleeping. In the center of the field, a strange figure wearing in monk robes was playing a bamboo flute. Tsuna and the others hid their presence behind the trees.

"What's happening there?" wondered Takeshi, not liking what he was seeing.

Tsuna's eyes widen in shock when he noticed the life energy being taken away from the children and going to the monk. Tsuna growled.

"So, it's a Aobozu the responsible for the children going missing."

"Aobozu?" asked Gokudera confused.

"It's an evil youkai monk spirit who kidnaps children," Tenma growled. "He sucks the life energy of 100 children, so he can live more 100 years longer before repeating the same ritual."

"But I do not understand. Aobozu do not have the ability of making children go to sleep." Tsuna frowned, confused. "He can hypnotize children with his flute, but he can never make them to sleep. He usually cages children to absorb their life force."

Then, the youkai know was Aobozu stopped playing his flue. He smirked. Soon he will absorb all the life energy of the children and live 100 years longer. And it was much easier taking their life force when they were sleeping.

"Such delicious life force," the Aobozu said, darkly. "I would never be able to absorb the life force of those children so easily without your help."

Then, the humans and the deamon saw there a strange giant crystal sphere floating beside of the youkai. There was someone inside of the sphere. It was a woman, around of her middle 20's years, with emerald eyes and beautiful long silver hair. The color of her hair reminded Tsuna of the moonlight that baths the night. Gokudera's eyes widen in shock; he recognized who was inside of the crystal sphere.

"M-Mom?" he whispered in shock.

Tsuna, Tenma, and Takeshi looked at Gokudera in shock. The woman inside of the sphere was his mother?

"You will not get away from this, you bastard!" Gokudera's mother shouted at Aobozu, angrily. "Let those children go!"

"Sweet heart, I can't do it, they are my food." Aobozu chuckled, darkly. "Thanks to your ability to put children to sleep and have sweet and pleased dreams about their mothers, I can absorb their life force much easier. Don't worry, beauty, they will die in peace since they are all dreaming about their beloved mothers."

Tsuna and Tenma frowned after what Aobozu said. They suspected the woman trapped inside of the crystal sphere was much more than Gokudera's mother. Gokudera growled. He didn't know what was happening but he knew that man, Aobozu or whoever he was, was making his mother suffer. Gokudera took out from his pocket some of his dynamites. Tsuna, Takeshi, and Tenma saw Gokudera with the dynamites.

"Gokudera-san, what are you…"

Before Tsuna could complete his question, Gokudera lights the dynamites with his cigarette before throwing them at Aobozu.

*KABOOM*

Needless to say the boys and the kirin freaked out when Gokudera's dynamites exploded.

"What the…," Aobozu growled as he saw the group.

Gokudera got out from his hiding place and glared furiously at Aobozu.

"Let my mother go, you bastard!" Gokudera shouted angrily at Aobozu.

"H-Hayato?" Gokudera's mother whispered in shock. "Hayato get out here now! He's not someone you should fight with!" she shouted in panic.

"Oh, I get it, so it's from this boy's mother you were born from," Aobozu chuckled. "Now watch how I kill this boy die by my power."

Aobozu fired a powerful blast from his flute in Gokudera's direction. Gokudera's mother shouted in panic as the blast came closer to her son. Gokudera closed his eyes and made his arms protecting his face, expecting to be hit by the blast. Before the blast could hit him, a fire wall made of orange flames protected him.

"What?" Aobozu shouted angrily.

When the flames were gone, they saw Tsuna standing before Gokudera. Tsuna had 4 golden rings with magatama around his wrists and ankles.

"Are you ok, Gokudera-san?"

Gokudera's eyes widen in shock. He saw Tsuna was now a completely different person. His eyes were orange ember and his hair was glowing. Not only that, but on his forehead there was also an orange flame, which Gokudera recognized very well. The Sky flame.

"Takeshi-kun, you'll help Gokudera-san to protect the woman and the children. Tenma and I will deal with Aobozu."

Takeshi nodded as the 4 rings around of Tsuna's wrists and ankles start to spin fast, so fast that were creating new sky flames. Tsuna flew fast towards Aobozu, taking him high to the sky and making sure he will not hurt the woman and the children. Gokudera looked at Tsuna. For some reason, he could see a kirin in the boy.

In the sky, Tsuna were battling with Aobozu in a very fast speed. The rings in his wrists and ankles were spinning so fast that were creating fire on them.

"Are you ok, Tenma?" Tsuna asked, through the telepathy. "It's the first time we use the weapon mode in a fight."

The rings were actually Tenma. That's one of the main abilities of a daemon. They can become a type of spiritual weapon, depending of the master's personality. In Tsuna's case, Tenma can become powerful rings that can products sky flames.

"I know. But I am ok for now," Tenma replied. "Let's finish this bastard and returning those kids home!."

"Right!" shouted Tsuna as he attacked Aobozu with his sky flames.

On the ground, Takeshi was checking the children. From what he could see, they were still alive but weak due to Aobozu absorbing their life force. Then, he saw Gokudera using a big rock, trying to break the woman's prison. But even with full force, he couldn't even make a small scratch on the crystal sphere. Then, Takeshi remembered the seal Tsuna had used on that youkai who haunted the school.

"Maybe…" Takeshi quickly took a paper and a red pen and star to draw a torii seal.

Meanwhile this, Gokudera was still trying to break the sphere but it was useless. The sphere didn't have any scratch.

"Hayato, this is useless." His mother said to him. "Only Aobozu can undo this prison."

"I lost you once Mom. I will not lose you again!" Gokudera shouted, still beating the sphere.

"Hayato, I…"

But she was interrupted by Takeshi.

"May I try?" Takeshi asked, holding up the torii seal he just made. Takeshi smiled as he placed the seal in the sphere. Then, he formed the same hand sign that Tsuna made in that day, when he sealed the Akagami-Aogami.

"Evil darkness, be gone."

Suddenly, several cracks were forming around the sphere. Then, the crystal sphere sharded in several pieces; Gokudera's mother was free from her prison. Before Gokudera's mother could even thank the boy for freeing her, Gokudera hugged her, tightly, with tears rolling down on his face.

"Mom, I am so sorry," Gokudera said, crying. "I had no idea who you were before …. before that awful accident. I never released anything!"

Gokudera was crying on her shoulder. He could feel everything. She had the same aura, the same smell and the same spirit. She was his mother. Gokudera's mother hugged him back but guilty was shown on her face. She bit her lips before speaking the true.

"Hayato, I am not actually your mother," she said, painfully.

Gokudera pushed gently her back as he looked at the woman confusing. What she was saying?

"Wait. What are you talking about? You're Lavina, aren't you?" Gokudera asked, in denial. "After hearing the maids talking about you, that bastard Shamal had confirmed the truth about you to me! You're my mother!"

"Hayato, I actually born from her feelings and love for you." Gokudera's mother said, making Gokudera even more confused.

Then, Takeshi remembered Tsuna talking about the Mu-onna and how they were born.

Then Takeshi had to interfere. He was sure the woman before them was a Mu-onna.

"Excuse me, miss. Are you by any chance a Mu-onna?" he asked.

Gokudera's mother nodded. Gokudera was completely confused about her mother being a Mu-onna. What was a Mu-onna anyway? Takeshi explained to him about what a Mu-onna was. Gokudera could not believe what he was hearing.

"Yes, I am a Mu-onna. I was born from Lavina's feelings and love for you, Hayato. I would have come to you sooner, but because of the crash of the accident, your mother's memories about your whereabouts were fuzzy. Took me a while to find you. But when I finally did, you already hated your mother after learning the truth about her. A mu-onna can't reach to the child when this child is angered or hates his or her mother." The Mu-onna explained her situation to them. "So the best I could do is to wait until you feel less anger and hate towards your mother, while I was watching you in a far distance."

Gokudera was quiet. He could not believe what she was saying. Then, he now understood why he felt a weird presence around him when he couldn't see anything. He always thought that the presence was some kind of UMA stalking him.

"Then that woman named Aria came to you a couple of weeks ago. She told you to come to Japan and find a kirin because a kirin would lead you to the place where you would finally feel belonged. I thought it was a great opportunity for you to finally be able to see me, and I came here early. But when I came here, I was captured by that Aobozu and using my abilities to make the children to sleep while he steals their life force."

Takeshi now understood the case of the children's kidnapping that has been happening in Namimori for a few days. Gokudera was in silent. He couldn't believe at first but now he could finally understand everything about the weird presence around him, and the lullaby that someone sang for him every night. Then, the Mu-onna touch his hands.

"Your hands are soft and good for playing the piano."

Gokudera's eyes widen in shock. It was the same thing his mother told him once, encouraging him to play the piano.

"Hayato, you may have stopped playing the piano after you learned the truth, but I know in the depth of your heart, you still want to play the piano. Your mother will always live in you, and in the sound of the piano. Never forget the melody of the piano."

Gokudera smiled. He had forgotten a long time ago, but now he remembered. The melody of the piano. It always made her to smile. He felt like a fool for forgetting something so important to him. Tears rolled down on his face and fall in his chest. Suddenly a red aura covered Gokudera, startling Takeshi and Mu-oona.

Tsuna and Aobozu also stopped to fight when they saw the glow of Gokudera's red aura. Tsuna looked totally surprised by this event. He felt this sensation before and he knew what was happening.

"Could be …" Tsuna started

"…the delinquent is summoning his daemon?" finished Tenma for Tsuna

Then, something was being formed through the red scarlet flames. Gokudera blinked confused but his instincts told him to hold the flame thing. When he did it, the flames vanished, and in his hands there was a very weird creature; it had a long snake like body, small talons, two small horns on the top of his head. It had shiny scarlet scales and pink mane covering the top of its body. On its nuzzle had two long whiskers. Takeshi blinked confused.

"Is that a dragon?"

When the small dragon opened its eyes, it showed they were green, just like Gokudera's. It gave a big smile before it quickly warped its body around of Gokudera's neck and started to rub its face in his.

"Finally, finally! You summoned me, Haya-chan!" the dragon shouted in pure happiness. From its voice, they knew it was a female.

"Argh, stop trying to suffocate me, you stupid lizard!" Gokudera shouted, as he tried to take the dragon off from his neck. Takeshi and Mu-onna sweat-dropped at the scene.

The dragon noted her warp was a bit tight for Gokudera's neck. She unwrapped herself from Gokudera's neck and floated in the front of him. She scratched behind of her head, with a very embarrassed expression on her face.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to harm you. I was just happy you finally were able to summon me. I am your daemon."

"Daemon?" Gokudera asked, confused. What was a daemon? He remembered the Tsuna boy mentioning the kirin was his daemon.

"Daemon is a person's soul that resides outside their body in an animal-like form. That means I am your soul that resides outside your body in a dragon-like form," she explained, smiling to Gokudera. "I meant to come out sooner but I couldn't because your sister's poison cooking not only messed with your body but it also messed up pretty bad your chakra system and spiritual sense." the dragon muttered darkly, as she remembered every poison food Gokudera was forced to eat by his sister. Since she was Gokudera's soul, she could feel all the poison while she was still inside of Gokudera's body.

Gokudera growled as he shivered when the little dragon mentioned his sister. He still could taste all the poisoned food he was forced to eat. It was a torture.

Aobozu growled angrily. He didn't expect the silver haired boy could summon his daemon. That means he will be trouble not to him but to the other youkai as well. He dives quickly, in hopes to kill the boy.

"Damn it!" Tsuna cursed as he dove after the youkai.

Gokudera growled as he saw Aobozu coming towards him at high speed. Mu-onna shouted Gokudera's first name. Gokudera's little dragon spun around and saw the youkai. She growled. Before the youkai could get any closer, she blows intense scarlet flames at him. Aobozu yelled in pain as he felt the scarlet flames burning him, turning a part of his body into stone. Tsuna took the opportunity to finish the youkai off for good.

"Finish Strike! Sky Kirin kick!" Tsuna shouted as his feet was covered by sky flames and diving at a incredible speed. The youkai turned to ashes with the impact of his kick.

Tsuna landed where the group is. The rings around of his wrists and ankles vanished as Tenma reappeared at Tsuna's side. Takeshi went to Tsuna, commenting he did an awesome rider kick. Tsuna wondered what he meant by having a rider kick.

Tenma looked at the dragon very curious. It was the first time she saw a very unique daemon like her. She admitted the red scales on the dragon's body were beautiful.

"Hello, little dragon. I am Tenma, the sky kirin and Tsu-kun's daemon. Nice to me you."

Gokudera's dragon flew over to Tenma. She smiled at the kirin.

"Hello! Nice to meet ya! I am Haya-chan's daemon! I am a Storm dragon! And my name is… my name is…" she blinked. She remembered she still was not named yet. She looked at Gokudera with watery eyes. "Haya-chan! You still have not named me yet!" She whined.

Gokudera sweatdropped. The dragon was really his soul? Tsuna chuckled as he explained sometimes daemons come out with a completely different personality of the owner. Gokudera sighted as he looked at the little dragon with folded arms. Since his soul was a dragon, so he will name it with a dragon name.

"Ryuki ( dragon spirit). Since you're a dragon, I will name you Ryuki."

Now the newly named dragon Ryuki was quiet. Then, she smiled and warped her snake-like body around Gokudera's neck, happily.

"I love the name, Haya-chan!" Ryuki shouted very happy as she rubbed her face into Gokudera's.

"Arght! You're suffocating me again!"

Everybody sweatdropped. From what they could see, Gokudera's daemon was very hyper and full of energy.

"Err… I think it's better we deal with the barrier," Tsuna commented to Takeshi as he nodded to him.

It was already late. The stars were all around the black skies and the moon shone brightly upon the small little town. Everything was quiet in the park but two women on the bench. A blond woman was trying to comfort the brunet one.

"Calm down, Nana-chan," the blond woman said. "I know the police will find your children."

"I already lost my baby son in the past, Kisa-chan." the brunet sobbed. "I don't want to lose my adopted children too!"

The woman, startled, let out a gasp of surprise before turning to look behind them as they saw an intense light before it vanished. They went to the direction of where the light was. They gasped in surprise when they saw all the missing children unconscious on the ground. The woman named Nana spotted two unconscious boys, one of them had a dirty blond hair while the other one had a red-brown hair. She rushed to them.

"Kouga! Fuuta!"She shouted, before she hugged them and crying. The blood woman quickly took out her cellphone to call the police, telling them they found all the missing children.

At Namimori's Shrine, Hinoto and Byakko welcomed the group back. The elder congratulated Tsuna not only for defeating a youkai in combat, but also rescuing the children inside of a barrier. Tsuna thanked his grandmother but he mentioned he wouldn't have been able to save the children in time if it wasn't for Gokudera when he appeared so suddenly and took them inside of Aobozu's barrier. Even Takeshi commented that the dragon was funny.

At the shirne's guarden, Gokudera ( with Ryuki warped around of his neck) was talking to Mu-oona. He was a bit upset because the lady who was born from his mother's feelings was leaving.

"Are you sure you have to go?" Gokudera asked, softly.

The Mu-onna smiled to him.

"Yes, my role with you is over for now." She said to him. "There's several children out there, in the same situation as you in the mafia that need me."

Gokudera was quieted. In the depth of his heart, he understood the role that the Mu-onna had but he still didn't want her go. She was all that left of his mother. Then, the Mu-onna kissed Gokudera's forehead.

"One day, I will be back for you, Hayato." The Mu-onna said, smiling to Gokudera, "I promise."

Then, the Mu-onna glowed as she floated to the direction of the sky. She looked at one last time, before returning to her real form of a faceless spirit woman. Gokudera smiled, finally feeling his heart much lighter and happier.

"Haya-chan. Mom was awesome, wasn't she?" Ryuki said to Gokudera.

"Yeah, she was." He whispered to her.

To be continue.

That was the second chapter. I hope you really enjoyed it. It was not easy, especially fitting the youkai for this story. Please, do not forget to leave your review. They are important and make me work faster in the next chapters.

I wanna thanks to KuraiArcoiris for helping me in this chapter.

Next chapter: Haunted stadium, Shiisa and a captain's feelings

Cyclopedia

Mu-onna: The nothing woman. She is a vengeful spirit of a mother who lost her child to famine or war. She protects children in danger, but may also try to merge or absorb them. They can look into the child's soul to find information while merging with them. To gather the information, or to merge with them, the Mu-onna must cast a spell to put the child's soul to sleep.

Since the Mu-onna is made from a mother's tender feelings, she may be willing to allow herself to be destroyed for the sake of the child. In this story, I made the Mu-onna being kind and good spirits that protects the children from any type of danger.

Aobozu: The green monk who kidnaps children. Nothing much about this Youkai at wikipedia. I made him kidnapping children to absorb their life force.
