Chapter 2

Xanxus P.O.V

In front of Tsuki's bedroom,

Finally, I can meet her again. Finally, the worries that had long resided in my heart will be replaced by her warm and kind smile. Finally, I will be with the one who accepted me whole-heartedly. And finally, I will meet my beloved sister again. It had been years.

I put my hand on the door knob when suddenly; I heard a familiar scream coming from the room. I entered the room and saw the doctor was calming Tsuki while Tsuki had her terrified face, her pale white skin arms were on her head, knees to her chest and she was seating at the corner of the bed. I slowly walked towards the doctor with my calm face and asked, "What's wrong, trash?"

The doctor replied, "Ah, Xanxus-sama, I was treating Lady Tsuki. When I was preparing the medicine that had to be shot into her body, she screamed and became scared. I don't know what's wrong so I tried to calm her down but…"

"She became more terrified…" I cut the doctor off. He just nodded. Then, I looked at the table besides the bed and saw a syringe. I sighed, knowing what was she afraid of.

"Leave it to me, now, get lost and leave the medicine behind." I told him. "H-hai, Xanxus-sama!" then, the doctor storm off. Slowly, I went towards, Tsuki and sat beside her. I looked into her eyes and saw tears formed at the corner of her eyes and she was trembling. Her hair was the same black except for slightly blond at the end of her long hair. I started a conversation to comfort her.

"Tsuki." I called with my calmed voice. She slowly looked at me. I smiled at her.

Me: Tsuki, what were you afraid of?

Tsuki: T-th-the s-scientist *hiccup* w-w-were going to i-i-inject s-s-something into m-me…

Me: Tuki, the one with the white coat isn't the scientist, he was a doctor. And he was going to inject a medicine, not something.

Tsuki: D-d-doctor? M-medicine?

Me: Yes, Tsuki, a doctor is a person who cures diseases and helps someone to get better. The medicine is a drug that helps our body to recover. It's not going to hurt but you would feel dizzy and sleepy.

Tsuki: I-it's that right?

Me: Yes.

Tsuki: B-But I was afraid. Whenever I saw a person with lab coat, my fear comes.

I sighed. Really, what had the trashes did to Tsuki? Then, I brought her to my arms and hugged her. I felt her body had relaxed and her crying was now turned into sniffling.

Me: It's alright. I was here and I will help the doctor to inject the medicine. Besides, you need more rest to get well. Your body was still weak.

Tsuki: *closed eyes;snuggling closer* Thank you, Xanxus-nii…

Me: Looks like you remembered. You know how much I longing want to hear your sweet voice calling my name, sister. *broke the hug* Now, lay down, I will make it faster.

She nodded and laid back. I put the soft blanket on her, picked her right arm and injected the medicine. She flinched and I rubbed slowly at the spot.

Tsuki: You know, you've matured, both in physically and mentally, Xanxus-nii.

Me: That goes without saying, trash.

Tsuki: *laughing* I take back what I was complimenting.

I opened my box and a liger appeared. "Bester."

Tsuki: What's that?

Me: My partner, half lion, half tiger. His name is Bester. He will be with you while I was away.

Then, Bester hopped on the bed and curled besides Tsuki.

'Warm…' Tsuki thought before drifted to sleep.

Me: Oi, Tsuki, I wanted to ask about the wi-. Ahh… She's asleep already. Oh well….

And then, I left my sister and Bester while smiling and walked towards the study room.

End of Xanxus's P.O.V

In the study room,

The rest of Varia members and the 10th gen were still in shocked state until Xanxus burst the door opened and startled everyone in the room.

Nono: So Xanxus, how was she doing?

Xanxus: Hmph, scum. She remembered me the moment I touched her.

Nono: Is that so… Any other changes?

Xanxus: She traumatized.

Nono: Is that so…

Xanxus sat on a sofa with his arms and legs crossed and his eyes closed. Tsuna was the first one to talk.

Tsuna: Nono, c-co-could you please tell us the details?

Nono: Oh, pardon me. As you all know that I have 4 sons including Xanxus.

Xanxus: Hmph...

Nono: But truthfully, I have a lovely daughter but she was kidnapped the day my wife was killed. Even I didn't know what had happened and my daughter…

Gokudera: 9th….

Tsuna: Y-you don't have to tell me if it hurts you!

Nono: *chuckling* You were right Tsunayoshi. As for her identity, I will tell you. Her real name was Diana but my wife preferred Shinatsuki because my wife was Japanese. My daughter was kind, cheerful and strong. Even though her mother was killed in front of her, she still showed her warmest and brightest smile so that no one would be sad and concerned. She never had cried in front of people and she also had never been in pain. Just seeing her cry or hurt, my heart feels like it going to break. To lose her brightest and warmest smile, our world had gone dimmed.

Everyone listened to the story attentively. This Diana or Shinatsuki was an interesting person, they thought.

Reborn: 9th, what about the wings?

Lambo: That's right! The wings were truly beautiful when they were lit with flames!

Nono: I…don't know. I just know it. When she was a child, she was a normal child. Xanxus, do you know something?

Xanxus: No.

Reborn: Must be from the experiments.

Nono: Perhaps we could ask her…

Yamamoto: But won't it hurt her?

Gokudera: After what she had been through…

Tsuna: T-that's right. W-Why don't we give her some times and when she was ready, we could ask her.

Reborn: That's a good idea. Dame-Tsuna, for once in a while, you give a very good idea.

Tsuna: U-urusai!

And then, the meeting ended.

Night time…

( Tsuki's Dream )

Crimson red liquids were all over the place. A young Tsuki stood there, watching as her mother falls. The liquids were all over her body. Some of them were coming out of her mouth too. When her mother hits the ground, her breath stopped and so is her body. Tsuki ran and kneeled besides her mother's cold body. She couldn't stop the tears that fall down. She cried. She screamed but no one comes. Then, the people who were attacking Tsuki and her mother stood in front of them. She was scared but before she could scream, the men took her and they left. Tsuki was struggling to get free and be besides her mother but the men's grips were too strong to break free.

Scene changed…

The men took Tsuki to a lab. When they arrived there, they tossed her to a cell. The cell smells blood and flesh that were rotting. She could also hear bloody screams and it's scared her. She wanted to go back. She wanted her family. Then, the men came back with some materials, syringes and strange objects.

One of the men grabbed her arms and chained them. Same goes for her legs. She couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly, she felt a pain struck one of her arms. She looked and saw a man was injecting the syringe. Her vision became black and she fainted.

When she woke up, her arms and legs were chained and she was in a different room. This room had some many weapons in it. Then, her gaze changed to the two men in front of her. One of them was holding a whip, and one of them was standing there. Both of them were smirking evilly. Then, shivers ran down her spine. The man with the whip proceeded to her and began whipping at her thigh. A scream escaped from her mouth. She was being tortured for the rest of the day.

The next day, she was released and put into the room that she was tossed yesterday. Her eyes looked hopeless and lifeless. Her body was covered with crimson red liquids.

The next day was even worse. Her body had yet to recover but the men didn't care, they injected some tubes and chained her in a container. She flinched as her wounded body touched the water. They put a mask on her face which contained oxygen and sleeping gas. Slowly, her eyes began to close and then, she was deep into a long slumber.

( Dream ends…)

Tsuki snapped her eyes open and painting heavily. She was scared. Everytime she was asleep, the memory kept replayed in her dreams. She sat up, brought her knees to her chest and began crying.

Tsuna couldn't asleep. So, he walked around the mansion for a while. Suddenly, he heard crying voices coming from a room on his left. 'It's Shinatsuki's room.' He went to the door and opened it slightly. He peeked and saw Tsuki. He knocked and nearing her.

Tsuki quickly wiped her tears and smiled a fake smile. Of course, Tsuna noticed this. He sat on a chair besides the bed and started a conversation with Tsuki.

Tsuna: Y-you know, you shouldn't smile if you don't want to.

Tsuki: Huh? W-what you were-

Tsuna: It's alright. I'm not going to tell anyone.

Tsuki looked down at her hands, squeezing it.

Tsuki: What you were doing here, late at night?

Tsuna: Huh? A-ah. I-I-I can't asleep so I thought that I could wonder around the mansion and feel the night breeze. Ahaha….

Tsuki: I-I-if y-you d-don't mind, c-c-could you p-p-please s-stay with me for a while, Tsunayoshi-san?

Tsuna: O-o-of course and you could call me Tsuna.

Tsuki: Then, call me Tsuki.

Tsuna: O-ok. So, you were having nightmares?

Tsuki: Yes.

Tsuna: Y-you should lie down! Your body didn't fully recover yet…

Then, Tsuna help Tsuki to lie down.

Tsuki: I'm scared…

Tsuna: Huh?

Tsuki: That painful memory kept coming back. And it scared me.

Then, a tear slid down her cheek and she closed her eyes. Tsuna held one of her hands. Tsuki stared at him curiously.

Tsuna: Don't worry, I'll be here with you.

Tsuki's eyes went wide and closed again.

Tsuki: Thank you, Tsuna…

Tsuna: You're welcome, Tsuki.

Tsuki fall asleep and Tsuna followed suit. The two were asleep while holding hands. 'Tomorrow will be a long day.' One last thought past Tsuna's mind before went to sleep.

To be continued….

Shina: Wow! That's a new record.

Yuki: Good job, my kitty!

1598: 3 chapters a day, huh?

Tsuna/Tsuki: *blushed madly*

1598: Why you two were blushing?

Tsuna: We-we were holding hands…*blushed*

Shina: Why? You two didn't like it? But sorry for you two, the story's pairing will be Tsuna and Tsuki after all.

1598: Leave them be, they liked it.

Tsuki/Tsuna's blush became darker.

Yuki: The disclaimers please!

Tsuki: We?

Yuki: Yes, my dear, if you won't do it, I guess not bad for a sad ending, right, Shina?

Shina: Yup~

Tsuna/Tsuki: We get it already! The sadistic author didn't own anything except for the OCs.

Everyone: CIAO CIAO!
