Yay! Two chapters in two days :D

Before I start the story, I would like to clear some misunderstandings.

KatoKimeka-chan: Thanks for reviewing (^^) you were right about everything except the part that Mukuro finds him as a child. Hibari didn't turn into a child, I just wrote him small 'cause of his height and body, that's all. He seems to be shorter than the others and from Mukuro's POV, I want Mukuro to think that Hibari's little and fragile. Sorry for not explaining it clearly.

Maruki Shitoichi: Don't worry. I'm still not sure if I'll make this a 1896 fic, but even if it does become one, I wouldn't forget about the main plot (^^)

And for everyone who ask me if I like yaoi: Yes, yes I do C:

I still haven't make up my mind on which pairing (or maybe even no pairing) I want in this story. Like KatoKimeka-chan said, ALL18 would suit this story better. The only problem is I suck at writing yaoi :C So maybe I won't write one, but give some hints inside. What do ya' think? :D Anyway, I'm fine with it not becoming 1896. As much as I'm a fan of that pairing, I go with what you all think C: So if no one likes 1896, I won't write them in this story, but even if you all like yaoi and want me to write one, I'm not sure if I can fulfill your request (^^;)

Okay, so the nonsense stops here. On to the story!

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or any of the characters in here.


Lost

Chapter 4: Lost, & Now Found

-Lost, & Now Found-

It's so dark, I can't see anything.

Hn, of course I can't see anything. I didn't even open my eyes.

But why bother?

You're just going to end up seeing the same thing you see every day, which is something you don't want to see.

So why bother?

It's better to just close your eyes and let them do whatever they're doing to you.

They beat you up by fist, then metal pipes, chains, and now they cut off your arm using a saw. By the way, where did my arm go?

It was my favorite arm. It had something I treasured a lot on it, it had my pride.

And now it's gone.

Not only did they cut off your arm, they break your legs too. There goes my only chance for escaping.

It's been 2 weeks now; guess they're tired of me. They haven't been visiting a lot lately and now I'm lonely.

Haha…I must have gone crazy…The hell am I thinking, I don't need such herbivorous thoughts.

Light? Is that light I'm seeing? Wao. How long has it been since I last saw that?

Oh wait, it wasn't really long. Just 2 weeks.

…I'm surprised I'm actually keeping track of the time. Normally, people would just forget about it and start to kill themselves, kill themselves to end this suffering.

Why didn't I?

Oh right, why didn't I? I could just kill myself here and end all of this. All the pain will be gone, all the hatred and fear people have towards me will be gone, and all those damn paperwork I have to sign will be gone…

So why didn't I do that? Why didn't I kill myself?

I was afraid.

I was afraid of leaving Namimori. I was afraid of not being able to protect the things I treasured anymore. I was afraid of Hibird dying 'cause of starvation…But Hibird's a clever bird to start with, so I doubt I'll have to worry about that.

What I'm afraid the most, is dying.

"Hibari! Hibari Kyoya! Oi, Hibari Kyoya!"

Hibari? What's that?

Oh that's right, my name.

Why would someone be calling my name now?

The lights are brighter than usual…Is it just my imagination?

"Hibari Kyoya! Wake up!"

-Lost, & Now Found-

The raven haired boy slowly opens his eyes, but immediately shutting it back due to the strong ray of light reflecting on his eyes.

He felt his body being shaken violently. Whose doing that?

"Mukuro-sama, he's alive."

"Thank god. Ken, Chikusa, go inform the others about this. Tell them to get a stretcher while you're at it." Ken and Chikusa both nodded after hearing Mukuro's order. They quickly run out from the warehouse to look for help.

"…Rokudo…Mukuro?"

Chrome and Mukuro turn their gaze onto the now weaker man. Said man was struggling to get up but immediately regrets it.

"Nngh-"

He was coughing blood, red substances slowly pouring out from his mouth.

"Don't do anything, just lie in the position you are now. We're here to save you, calm down."

Save him?

He couldn't believe what he just heard. Save him? Someone was actually coming to save him? He's not dreaming, is he?

But of course, his pride just had to come first.

"Rokudo Mukuro…What are you doing here?" It took like every last energy he had to say out that short sentence.

"…Is that how you respond when someone says they're here to save you? How rude."

"I don't need to be save by the likes of you."

Mukuro was obviously mad at that statement. He knew that Hibari's pride always comes first but what he didn't get is why he's still so stubborn when he clearly needs help from someone.

"Don't get me wrong, Kyoya. I didn't save you because I pitied you or anything; I just save you because Sawada Tsunayoshi was worried about you. And if he continues like this, my dear Chrome would be worried too. I just don't want to see her sad or anything, that's all…Kyoya? Hibari Kyoya? Kyoya! Don't you dare die on me, you hear that! Kyoya!"

"Don't worry Mukuro-sama, he's still alive, though if you keep shaking him like that he won't be long." Chrome said, looking at Mukuro.

"…I'm sorry. When are the others going to arrive?"

"I'm not sure. I hope soon. Should we carry him out?"

"…I guess it would be better like that." Mukuro carefully lift Hibari up and carry him, bridal style. Don't get him wrong though. He's carrying him like that because it would hurt him if he's being carried other ways. Chrome was really sure if the others see him do this it would be news to everyone, she wanted to laugh but of course, the heavy atmosphere kept her from doing so.

After they walk out from the warehouse, Mukuro not wanting to hurt him, he places the boy on the floor as gently as he could.

"Mukuro-sama, they're here."

"Just in time, if it takes any longer than that he'll be dead by now."

"…Mukuro-sama, giving out cold comments was supposed to be Varia's job. Did it switch to us now?"

"Mukuro-san! Chrome-san!" They were interrupt by a face all red and currently panting heavily Tsuna.

"W-What is this?"


The end~ for now C: This chapter's quite long, but maybe it's because of the author notes (==") First, I'm not sure how Mukuro calls Hibari, but I know that Chrome calls him as 'cloud person'. Second, yeah, obviously, they all went OOC. Guess I wasn't able to prevent that, I'm a failure as a writer (TT^TT)

Oh yeah, today's hint pairing is…6918! XD I'm sorry if any of you guys hate 6918 :C It's one of my fav pairings and of course, I want them to be in it. Next chapter will have another hint pairing! Maybe some you could guess it but for those who can't, please look forward to the next chapter~ XD

Once again, so sorry for the grammar errors and the OOC-ness :C I will improve myself. And as for the crappy chapter title, please ignore it.

Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, I love you all~ ;D
