Now I'll stop my rambling so you can read

"STELLA!" Tsuki ran straight for her cousin and the men turned around. When she reached her, she froze at the amount of blood her cousin was loosing. If nothing stopped the bleeding Stella could die in just a matter of minutes.

"Tsu… you came," Stella whispered and managed to pull a small smile. "GUH!" She coughed up more blood. "I'm… sorry," Stella coughed again, closed her eyes and stopped moving.

Tsuki quickly lifted the small girl into her arms and examined the wound. Within a matter of seconds, the Moon Guardian ripped the bottom half of her shirt off and wrapped in around Stella's stomach wound. Tsuki had no medical expertise and didn't know if the wound hit a vital point, all she knew was that she could hopefully keep Stella alive a little longer until help arrived, if it arrived.

While this was happening the two men were slowly walking towards Tsuki. "We've found her. Now to bring her boss," one of the men whispered.

Tsuki gently placed Stella safely on the floor and slowly stood up. A black aura was surrounding her with a huge killing intent. The men froze while Tsuki walked towards them, "You killed my family, friends, destroyed my home, hurt Stella," the aura grew bigger but she still calmly walked towards the men. "As the head of my family," Tsuki's flames were larger than ever when she lit her Vongola ring. "To preserve their honor," she inserted it into her box and grabbed a hold of her scythe as it smothered itself in Moon flames. Kurai jumped out next to her and hissed. "I will kill you," Tsuki stated, still staying calm.

The men were now starting to back away from the calm but dangerous looking girl inching towards them, 'A moon,' they thought to themselves, 'a light and dark side'. She wasn't the young girl following her father's orders anymore. She was the head of the Uchu family, taking revenge for their death. Tsuki shot out one of the orbs that turned into a web to block the exit. It happened to be a New Moon that night and Tsuki muttered, "Kurai, Cambia Forma."

Kurai jumped on Tsuki and for a moment, they were covered in grey, Moon Flames. When they calmed down, you could see that Tsuki's Scythe had become longer and sharper. Also, that Kurai had disappeared. Tsuki ran straight for the two men who had no choice but to fight. The man closest to her took out a gun and was about to fire until Tsuki suddenly vanished. "WHA-" He was cut off by a slash to the back by Tsuki and fell to the ground.

The second culprit froze for a split second to take in the event of Tsuki disappearing, his comrade attacked and then Tsuki reappearing. When he looked up, he saw Tsuki still staring at his now almost dead comrade. This was his chance. He pulled his gun to Tsuki's head, "surrender, your coming with me."

The Moon Guardian slowly turned her head to face the man, "not happening," she whispered. Tsuki's scythe became engulfed in grey flames as the blade switched to the other end. She moved her back arm to bring the scythe up and the blade went right through his neck. He died instantly.

Meanwhile:

Reborn walked into Tsuna's bedroom. Tsuna looked up from his homework (that he was forced to do) and towards the baby standing by his doorframe. Reborn's eyes were shaded by his black fedora as he spoke, "follow me. I have a bad feeling about something."

Back at the Uchu's Main House:

It was now pitch black at night and you could just see the slight glow from the New Moon. The enormous old Japanese styled house was set ablaze and the scent of burning flesh and blood was in the air.

Tsuki stood up straight as she heard the sound of more men coming. She was covered in Stella and the men's blood, you could see her stomach from how she ripped her shirt earlier but she was waiting there patiently. The sooner she dealt with the enemies, the sooner she could safely escape with Stella. Tsuki couldn't risk be caught in a fight with Stella in her arms. *Cough* Tsuki looked down at the first man she hit. "If you survive this… boss will find you… and kill you himself." With his last words the man died from blood loss.

In that instant all the other attackers appeared in front of Tsuki and froze. She estimated there were about twenty of them. Now, Tsuki might be patient, but she was also very tense right now and needed to get Stella to safety. She decided to finish them all in one blow.

Tsuki closed her eyes and the Scythe's blade began glowing. There was a cat's meow and greyish glow became even brighter than before. Tsuki gripped the hilt tightly and pulled her Scythe back. In one quick move, she slashed the empty air in front of her and a huge ball of Moon Flames was thrown at the men. They were set ablaze and fell to the ground screaming until there was nothing but ashes. "Universo Botto."

With that, Tsuki walked over to the motionless Stella, fell to the ground and dropped her scythe. It disappeared into the Vongola Box and Kurai appeared next to the two. He began licking Stella's wound slowly.

Suddenly, Tsuna appeared behind them with Reborn. "I knew something happened…" the Arcobaleno mumbled to himself.

Tsuna stood there for a moment to take in his surroundings. His new Moon Guardian was covered in blood, she was holding a small unconscious girl in her arms, there were two brutally killed bodies on the ground and a pile of ashes. Not to mention the smell of blood, burning flesh and wood. It looked like a scene out of a horror movie.

"They all disappeared on the Moon's dark side," Reborn stated.

Tsuki looked up and the two prepared to fight more enemies but a wave of relief hit her when she recognized Reborn and Tsuna. "Please help my cousin, she's dying," she whispered. In that second, men in suits rushed into the room and picked Stella up out of Tsuki's arms.

"These men will take her to Namimori hospital where she will be taken care of. They won't let her die," Reborn told Tsuki. "They're also looking for any survivors from your family while collecting the deceased so you can have a funeral."

The men asked Tsuki is she was hurt but she shooed them away, saying that she was fine.

Tsuna walked over to Tsuki and stretched out his arm, "let's go."

Later at Namimori Hospital:

It was about 9:30pm. Tsuki was sitting next to her cousin still lying unconscious in the bed. She was unconscious but stable and alive.

"I'm sorry Stella," Tsuki was holding the girl's hand (the one not hooked up) with both of hers. "I promised I'd protect you and I didn't. You're hurt again because I wasn't there soon enough. I'm so sorry."

-FLASHBACK THREE YEARS AGO-

Eleven-year-old Tsuki was taking her five year old cousin, Stella to the park right next to the house. She had permission to go and promised to be back in an hour.

It was a hot day and Tsuki left Stella on the playground to buy a bottle of water for them. It was a safe area and no one was around anyway. She told Stella to not leave the playground and that she'd be back in five minutes.

While Tsuki was gone just a few blocks down in a convenience store Stella did as she was told and stayed on the playground. The young girl sat on the dirt and began drawing pictures with a stick.

Some boys Tsuki's age walked up to the little girl drawing in the dirt. "Ha! What's that? A person?"

"No, it looks more like a pig," another boy stated.

A third boy insulted Stella, "YOUR DRAWINGS SUCK!" All three boys started laughing as Stella dropped her stick and buried her face in her hands.

"Aw is the little girl crying?" The first boy asked sarcastically.

"This will make her stop," the second one kicked Stella in the gut.

"GUH!"

The three boys laughed as she fell on her face and began crying louder. "Hey, wait, stop crying so much or we might get caught." The boys began to punch and kick Stella.

"S-stop… please…" Her pleads were only responded by more kicking. Eventually, Stella gave up as she was too bruised and it felt like she broke an arm.

Suddenly, the boys stopped and ran away when they saw Tsuki running their direction. When she saw Stella crippled on the ground clutching her now broken arm she dropped everything, picked the small girl up and ran straight home.

'I'm so sorry Stella. I wasn't back in time. I could have protected you. I promise to never be late to save you again,' Tsuki vowed in her head.

-FLASHBACK END-

Tsuki buried her face in the bed sheets ashamed of herself.

Reborn walked into the room and paused, "would you like me to tell you the news later?"

Tsuki lifted her head, turned her head to Reborn and whispered, "no now."

"There are no survivors other than your cousin, Stella. I'm sorry. Your father and Stella's parents were the only bodies they could find. The rest were ashes by the time we got there. All of the others from the branches of your family were informed and are heading here for a funeral and your official inheritance. They will arrive next week."

Tsuki paused and then nodded her head, "thank you."

"I'll leave you alone," Reborn left the room.

'I have to tell them later that someone could be coming to Namimori to kill me,' Tsuki thought and then fell asleep from exhaustion with Kurai in her lap.

Hibari walked into the hospital room that Stella and Tsuki were in. He heard what happened.

Tsuki was sleeping in a chair next to the bed and Kurai had moved to sleeping on the floor. Hibari had a blanket in his hands and placed it around Tsuki's shoulders. "Herbivore. Causing so much commotion. You better not disturb Namimori again."

Hibari walked out of the room.
