Dom: *on Tamaki's corner growing some mushrooms*
Aly-chan: *kicks me gently* Dude, you okay?
Dom: Do I look like I'm okay!?
Aly-chan: *bluntly* No
Dom: Then stop asking stupid questions!
Sango: Is it because of what you typed at the ending credits of I don't want to be your nii-san?
Dom: *pouts* Yes, Kyo-nii and Kago-nee is still mad at me for it…They almost killed me too, it's a good thing I hid. Besides I'm just saying the truth though! KH&KH! What's so bad about that? Just because I typed that doesn't mean they are together or something
Aly-chan: Maybe it's because you put "Kyoya Hibari + Kagome Higurashi = KH&KH"
Dom: I still don't see the problem
Aly-chan: *facepalms* And you're supposed to be the smart one out of the two of us

"Naraku, I'm asking you again. What the fuck are you doing here?" Kagome demanded forcefully, "I thought you were in Hell," he hissed.
The others were surprised at how hostile the assassin is being. Never had they seen or heard him like this before.
"The Devil kicked me out and the shinigami took me back in the human realm 'cause apparently it's not my time yet," Naraku mocked the teen. "And what else am I doing here for? Destroy Vongola and to take my last item for my collection, of course," he laughed. "Don't ask stupid question, my little Bird."
Kagome clenched his fists in anger and his foxes bristled further more and snarled at the red-eyed man, "There is no way in Hell I'm gonna let you take me or to take down the Vongola just like how did with the Sventratori Family," he snarled.
Some people's eyes widened in disbelief at the name. The Sventratori Famiglia?
"I thought the Sventratori Famiglia are just public figures in Mafia. Mere myths," Dino stated and turned to Kagome, "Kagome-kun, are you part of the family?" he asked in a disbelieving voice.
Kagome averted his head away and nodded, "Was. I WAS part of the family until that bastard betrayed our trust by seducing someone of our own for information!" Kagome yelled in anger while a huge amount of killer intent was released into the air suffocating the others in near vicinity.
"Kagome calm down!" Reborn told the younger teen barely concealed worry showing in his eyes.
Kagome released more of his killer intent at what he was being told, "CALM DOWN? YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I IF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME SLAUGHTERED MY WHOLE FAMIGLIA THREE YEARS AGO!?" Kagome exploded.
His friends looked at him in surprise and in worry. They have never seen him this mad before. He was always the calm-headed one besides Yamamoto out of all them. They saw his aura flickering wildly in the air and they were sure that if Kagome's doesn't calm down any moment soon he'll go out of control and will annihilate anyone whether it be a friend or foe.
Chrome, worried for her friend, stepped closer shakily towards him since Kagome was still releasing his killer intent in large amounts, "K-kagome-san, please calm down. If you don't your friends are going to end up hurt," Chrome hugged the older and taller teen from behind.
Those words snapped Kagome out of his killing daze and slowly by slowly they felt the air getting thinner and easier to breathe in.
"Remind me not to get Kagome-kun angry," Byakuran muttered.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Kagome whispered as Chrome tightened her grip on him in comfort.
"What's the Sventratori Famiglia? And which Family are you from?" Tsuna asked.
"Kukukuku, I'm Naraku the boss from the Ragno Famiglia and let me explain to you who exactly are the Sventratori," he chuckled.
"The Sventratori Famiglia held the most skilled and most powerful assassins in the Mafia world. They were perfectionist, was trained at a young age, and almost all of them have possessed a strong will at the art of assassination which makes them almost undefeatable," Naraku started.
"They worked alone in the shadows so not many knew them and believed them as myths. They are a detached Family. Neutral. Refusing to be part of any Famiglias at all. While Mafia bosses begged on their knees for an alliance with the promise of money, popularity and everything you could offer, they still refused. They were sought after and the Famiglia who can get them would be untouchable and powerful and lucky," Naraku continued. "However, no one knows that the Sventratori had already sworn loyalty to one Family."
The four Arcobalenos and the Sventratori member knew which Family. The Arcobalenos because of their high ranks within the Vongola and Kagome knows because she is part of the Family.
"Who?" Xanxus asked as they all waited at the answer anxiously.
"Vongola," Naraku said through gritted teeth, "Apparently the Founder of the Sventratori Famiglia was good friends with Primo and his Guardians and ever since then he has sworn loyalty to them and the Family. Of course not many people outside of Sventratori knew of this, only the higher ranks like the Head CEDEF, the boss and his/her guardians, and some other trusted people within the Vongola."
"If you're wondering how I knew of this, you can say I had some inside scoop," Naraku drawled out.
Kagome's anger resumed and Chrome has tightened her grip even more to prevent him from attacking Naraku, "Shut the hell up, you fucking spider!"
Naraku turned giddy, "Now, why would I stop? I'm just getting to the good part of the story," Naraku sounded sad as if his favorite toy has been taken away. "Don't you think your friends would like to know the real reason why Sventratori has fallen?"
Kagome tried to contain his anger as well as his foxes, but little by little his aura flared dangerously and murderously making the people slightly behind him stare worriedly at him even Belphegor and Gokudera stared at him.
Tsuna joined Chrome in restraining the bloodthirsty assassin before he started attacking everybody and might put his sister in harm as well as the others.
Naraku fixed Hime's position careful not to wake her up, "Where was I? Oh right, the inside scoop. The one who gave me the information was Kagome-kun's elder sister, Kikyo."
Kagome's control finally snapped and it took all the Vongola Guardians to restrain him and his foxes, "SHUT UP, YOU CONNIVING BASTARD! MY SISTER WOULD NEVER BETRAY THE SVENTRATORI! YOU TORTURED HER. YOU THREATHENED HER TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU NEEDED! AND ALL SHE DID WAS LOVE YOU AND YOU FUCKING KILLED HER!" he roared as he struggled within the hold of the Guardians.
"Ah, yes how could I forget such a detail," Naraku tsk'ed. "You forgot to mention how I killed her. I certainly enjoyed the screams she gave off after I cut off her fingers, then her limbs, and finally when I slit her throat," Naraku said sadistically enjoying the disgust and anger that was shown on the face of the people present.
Kagome stopped moving and the Guardians thought he finally calm down so they let him go. It was a big mistake because the next thing they knew he disappeared from their sights and reappeared in front of the slightly shocked Naraku.
"Go to hell, Naraku," Kagome whispered coldly and slashed his katana at Naraku's neck as bit of blood went on his face and tainted his weapon with the dark red liquid.
Kagome caught Hime before the headless body fell down in a heap and walked back to the shell-shocked group of people.
"Ka-kagome?" Tsuna looked at him in horror and looked at the headless body.
All of them were shocked at how quickly Kagome moved and made his kill. He ignored the blood as if he was used to it even the Varia and the Arcobalenos had trouble comprehending it. They never thought the dark haired Storm could be so cruel and merciless.
"It's what I do, Tsuna," Kagome suddenly spoke bringing them out of their reveries, "I was born into this dark world. The situation is always kill-or-be-killed and I choose to kill for the sake of others. It's what we Sventratori do best. Protecting people we care about," he said softly. He handed Hime to Tsuna.
He wiped his face, smearing the red liquid over his face, and called out, "Don't be such a coward and show your true self, Naraku!"
They were surprised yet again. 'You mean he's not dead?'
"Kukukuku, you're getting better at sensing people who conceals their presence," the real Naraku showed up in Mist Flames.
"No, I just know that that body was a puppet. It's way too forward with it's comments and basically asking to be killed. Besides it' you," Kagome sneered.
"Ohh, you've gotten a sharper tongue over the years, Kagome-kun," Naraku commented.
Kagome scoffed and unsheathed his katana once again, "I've got to learn something new from the Vongola over the years."
Naraku chuckled and activated his barrier, "I'm sorry Vongola and allies, but this battle is strictly between Kagome and me. Although I let out some of my…" Naraku paused seeming to find the right word, "subordinates to play with you while we finished our business."
They looked around for those so-called subordinates and they didn't spot any until Lambo screamed.
"AHHHH! MONSTERS!" Lambo jumped to Chrome for support when one of them tried to grab him.
And they do look like monsters. Their faces were stitched together; some of them lost one of their eyes or both it also applies with ears. Their mouth was sewed loose so they can still open their mouth and when they do they can sharp, jagged, yellow, teeth. The more observant people noticed their missing some of their fingers as well and walking in a limp.
"W-what are th-those things?" Enma stuttered looking a bit green.
"Even the Prince didn't see this level of grotesque before," Bel chuckled weakly while twirling his knives while others agreed with him as well.
"So you're still doing that sick game of yours, aren't you Naraku?" Reborn growled cocking his gun at the barrier and fired, but was deflected by the barrier.
Colonnello and Lal did the same thing as Reborn and failed as well.
"So the Arcobalenos still remember me? Oh, I'm honored," Naraku said sarcastically.
"How can we forget such a vile man like you?" Lal retorted with Colonnello agreeing, "Yeah, kora!" and Mammon saying, "Yare yare. You're more horrible than the Estraneo."
"Am I really that horrible that the Arcobalenos remember me and my deeds?" Naraku rhetorically asked, "I'm so proud of myself!"
"What the hell are those?" Tsuna panicked.
Kagome briefly turned to them and the monsters that are surrounding them, "They're your failed experiments, weren't they?"
Naraku made a thoughtful face, "They are not completely failed per se. They are partly successful too. They are stronger, faster, and better than regular mafiaso so it's highly unlikely for your friends to beat them."
"Tch, so all I'm hearing is that we can beat them," Gokudera took out his dynamites and threw at a couple monsters.
"Are we starting the new game?" Yamamoto readied his sword, "Oi, Gokudera don't kill all of them. I want to join the game too," Yamamoto said as he slashed at one.
Hibari attacked, "Herbivores."
"This is not—you know what, I give up," Gokudera shook his head then went back getting rid of the monsters.
"Chrome, can you…" Tsuna let his question trailed off when Chrome finished his favor.
"Put a barrier around Hime-chan so she won't get hurt while we're fighting? Of course, boss," she put created a barrier and put Lambo in as well. She was then covered in mist flames and she was replaced by our favorite blue-haired pineapple with hetochromatic eyes teen.
"Kufufufu, what happen here? And what hell are those things?" Mukuro's face was scrunched up in disgust.
"Experiments," Tsuna—in HDWM—grunted and dodged an oncoming Wrath of Flames to his head, "Watch where you fire your guns, Xanxus!"
Xanxus grunted and went back to killing.
"Even the Estraneo weren't this cruel. Ragno, I presume," Mukuro said as he stabbed one in the body.
"Yes," Dino said as he swings his whip.
"Hey, it's nice that you guys are talking in friendly terms and all, but," Gokudera glanced at them, "WOULD YOU STOP AND HELP US KILL THESE MONSTERS OR EXPERIMENTS OR SOMETHING!" he yelled at them then muttered, "These monsters are probably artificial UMAs,"
"Where are they all coming from to the extreme?!" Ryohei asked a very important question that everyone is wondering after a few minutes of fighting.
"So now that they're busy. Let's get back on our fight," Naraku clapped his hands, "Wait, I wanna do something first," Naraku jumped up and down like a kid trying to show something to their parents.
Naraku had a fistful of Mist flames and threw it up the air and it went through the barrier and the ceiling. The next thing that happened was incredible. The scene changed into a familiar place to Kagome and the Arcobalenos.
"Do you remember this place, Little Bird? Silly me, of course you do," Naraku laughed, "How could you forget the training grounds of Sventratori? I know you always go to the forest to train if you need to cool down just like the time you and your best friend fought. What's his name? Oh yeah, Miroku,"
Kagome clenched his fist, "His name doesn't deserve to pass your lips."
"Do you remember your last fight with him? Coincidentally, it was also the day we attacked," Naraku continued. "I remember. I was there of course. Remember, when your best friend kissed the girl you like, Sango was it? Yes, that's the name. You saw them kissing and you got mad. You punched him across the face too."
Kagome shook his head to rid of memories that's coming up, but failing.
~O*~O*~O*
Kagome was walking to the gardens when he heard a familiar voice giggle. He popped out his head to take a peek and jealousy, anger, and betrayal gripped his heart. There kissing Sango was his best friend who promised to not make a move on the girl he likes. Before he even registered what he was doing, his fist connected to Miroku's face.
Sango gasped in shock and horror while Miroku whirled around holding his bruised cheek and turned to look at his offender.
"Ka-kagome."
"Yeah, remember me? You probably didn't since I just saw you and Sango inhaling each others faces!"
"It's not what it looks like."
"Really? It was from where I was standing!"
"I'm really sorry—"
"Sorry means nothing these days and it has no meaning at all if you're not sincere," Kagome said angrily, "I just want to know one thing. Why? Why did you do it?"
Miroku looked ashamed, "I-I don't know what came over me. Besides I've liked her for a long time too and I couldn't stop myself."
"Then why? Why the hell didn't you tell me? Dude, I thought I was your friend?!"
"I am!"
"Then why did you kiss, Sango! You promise me that you won't make a move on her and you did. Friends don't do that—"
"I like her, Kagome!"
"So do I, Miroku! I like her just like you do! But you promised me you will back off! If our situation was reversed, you know I wouldn't do that to you!" Kagome yelled.
"You know what I had enough of this shit! I'm done. I'm done with you and Sango. You can have her. You can now start a relationship, thanks to me for getting out of the way! You can get all lovey-dovey with each other now that I'm done with this love triangle shit," he ran away from the both off them ignoring their calls.
~O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome shook his head again.
"Were you thinking about something?" Naraku stared at him curiously then his face lit up, "I know. I should show the others what you're thinking about from now on."
"Small chance to rile me up!"
"That may be true, but I know the right words to trigger old wounds. Especially yours," Naraku laughed.
"Enough of this stupid mind games of yours. Youko, Kiba sic 'em!" His silver foxes with their ears, paws, and tails coated with Storm Flames obeyed their master's orders and attack.
"Uh, uh, uh," Naraku wagged his pointer finger, "you shouldn't be so reckless, Little Raven. But what do I expect. You're a Storm."
"Oi!" Gokudera said from where he was fighting.
"That's an insult to the Prince, shishishi," Bel twirled his knives dangerously.
"What about you? You're a sadistic, manipulating bastard! So you must be a Mist! What do you know, you are one!" Kagome rebutted.
"Kufufufu, that hurts Kagome-kun," Mukuro casted an illusion to a nearby enemy, "Do you really think so lowly of me?"
"I'm going to charge you for that accusation, Kagome," a certain Mist Arcobaleno said.
"You know that's not fair that you already have your Box Animal out," Naraku spoke as he dodged the foxes' attack, "I should show you mine. I'm sure you'll love it very much."
He activated his flames and put his ring in his box and out came a…
"Out of all the animals or insects in the world it has to be an arachnid!" Reborn almost gripped his spiky hair in frustration, "Why does it have to be fucking spider?! A huge one at that?!"
"What's wrong with spiders?" Byakuran stared at him curiously.
Tsuna looking at the enormous spider in disgust, "Spiders are creepy and all, but I'm agreeing with Byakuran here. What's wrong with that?"
Colonnello fired some shots, "Because Kagome is deathly afraid of spiders."
"He can't stand them. When he sees one, he kills them and bashed it repeatedly especially if it's a big hairy one like a tarantula, but if it's just like that," Mammon pointed at the box weapon, "he's going to end up petrified. Troublesome kid."
"He's scared of a spider?" Gokudera incredulously asked.
The three male Arcobalenos nodded to which he laughed which was cut short when one of the mutated humans rushed to him.
"You don't understand. It involves something about the massacre of his Family," Lal defended the assassin.
"What happened to him?" Takeshi asked.
When one of the Arcobalenos were about to open their mouth to answer, they were interrupted by a scream from Kagome.
"AHHHHH! GET THEM OFF ME! GET THEM OF ME! GET THEM OFF ME! GET! THEM! OFF! ME!" Kagome was wiping and slapping himself with nothing on him and true fear was written all over his face.
"What is he doing?" Enma asked bewildered.
Mammon and Reborn groaned while Colonnello and Lal looked at the young male worriedly, "He's under the illusion of Naraku," the formers said simultaneously.
"Kagome calm down. It's just an illusion, kora," the blond Arcobaleno called out.
Kagome continued to shake the imaginary spiders off of him which triggered a traumatic event when the spiders started crawling on his body.
The others saw the barrier ripple and then a video played out.
"Wha? What's going?" Yamamoto asked the question everyone is wondering.
The Arcobalenos grimaced at the same time, "The reason why Kagome started fearing spiders," Lal explained and they all watched.
~O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome was kicked to the stomach and went flying across the room and his back collided with the wall. He slid down and landed on his knees with his sword supporting his weight then he covered his mouth with his free hand and coughed.
Blood splattered on the floor like it was some sort of art.
Kagome tried to stand, but his body was too weak and bruised, he fell on his face facing sideways and staring at his sword within his hands.
Footsteps came towards him and stopped before his weakened body. The body paused then grabbed his hair and pulled him to eye level.
Blood red eyes and sapphire blue eyes clashed. One pair twinkling in amusement while the other glaring hatefully.
"Why don't you just be a good boy and join me? If you do, you won't end up like the others."
Kagome laughed weakly and darkly as his eyes stared in defiance, "I rather die than join you," he spat blood on his face.
Naraku chuckled and raised his other hand and slammed the 12-year-old boy on the wall by his neck, "Such defiance in such a small boy," Naraku said as he tightened his hold on his neck and raised him higher than his head level, "You know, Sventratori would never have been attacked if your Head agreed to our alliance."
Kagome coughed and tried to talk and he succeeded though his voice came out raspy, "Father would never agree to your demands. Sventratori works alone. We are the lone wolves in the underworld. We are like the aloof Cloud of Vongola. We are an independent standpoint that protects the Sky, but even then nothing can ever bind us."
"Foolish fools," Naraku gritted his teeth, "if you serve under the Ragno Famiglia instead of Vongola you—"
"Will what? Be used as tools? Showcased as valued prizes? Have the riches in the world?" Kagome listed, he felt his feet dangle in the air, but could do nothing about it, "No, thank you besides our loyalty lies with Vongola and nothing could change it."
Naraku dropped the boy carelessly on the ground where the boy proceeded to cough blood violently and for being restricted by his throat, "Foolish boy, but you're right. Nothing could change your minds."
Kagome laughed weakly as he was leaning on the wall and his hands even the one where he holds his sword lay limp by sides, "That's the thing in the mafia. Loyalty is hard to break."
Naraku hummed, "Hmmm, I know. Nothing good came out of this attack except that your friends and family are all dead," Naraku noticed the boy's eyes dimmed and saddened a bit and let his lips curl in a cruel smile, "There are only few dozens members left and I am certain that they will be eliminated by my subordinates."
"I guess that's end of Sventratori," Kagome chuckled dryly, "why don't you kill me now?"
"No, that would be too easy," Naraku shook his head, "I want to hear your screams and do something to you that you will never forget," Naraku conjured up a closet-like coffin and carried the boy's body.
"What are you doing?" Kagome was too weak to struggle.
"You'll like it I promise," Naraku dumped the body and his weapon inside and locked it.
"Let me out!" Kagome pounded the door weakly, "Let me out! Let me out Naraku!"
"I'll be back, but here," Naraku snapped his fingers, "I've given you some friends to keep you company while I check outside. Have fun!" with that he disappeared.
Kagome saw nothing, but he felt something hairy by his hands then more crawled on his feet and hands, "Let me out! Naraku, let me out!"
A big hairy thing landed on his hair and he panicked, "Help! Please help me! Anyone! Anyone please help me!" Kagome screamed again when they started crawling all over his body, "Would someone please open the door! Please!" he knew they were multiplying, but didn't know how.
He didn't know how long he was inside that thing, but he knew he spent most of the time shaking those things off of him and screaming for help; when he was about to lose hope he heard voices and footsteps he started screaming again, "I'm here! Please, help me! A-anyone!"
The door opened and all the creepy crawlies—which he found out were spiders—all scuttled out and saw 6 babies, one woman with a clover birthmark by her eyes, two blonde men with one tanned skin and the other pale.
"Thank God," he whispered before he felt the fatigue washed over him and fell forward.
"Oh dear," the woman said worriedly as she caught him, "you've been beat up pretty badly," she put the boy down on her lap gently and turned to Reborn, but was shocked he was doing it before she asked.
Kagome opened his eyes and squinted, "Re-reborn, is that you?" he asked at the blurring person who's healing him with their sun flames.
Reborn glanced at him for a moment before focusing back on his task, "Sleep. We'll take care of everything."
"Senile old bastard, this is the only time I'm letting you boss me around," he said before letting his eyes close while Aria combs through his hair lulling him to sleep.
~O*~O*~O*~O*
The barrier went to black then went back to normal.
The others were watching the memory while fighting and were speechless. The Varia, Vongola, Byakuran, Dino, and Enma stared unbelievingly at the assassin who was still panicking. They felt sorry for him. Now they understood why he would be terrified of spiders. Being stuck in a small space with those things will develop a phobia about it.
The four Arcobalenos looked at their former charge. The Arcobalenos took care of him when he woke up. He refused to eat or do anything at all for many months and usually Aria or Reborn could only force him to do it. Kagome didn't speak or trusted anyone in Vongola only speaking with the Arcobalenos, Iemitsu, and Gamma; even then it was rare.
Mad was an understatement to Hibari. He was downright pissed. For once deciding to act out of character, he yelled, "Omnivore, I want you to snap out of that illusion. Your foxes are scared and you are acting like a herbivore. Snap out of it!"
With those words reaching Kagome, he lifts his sword and sliced a gash on his left arm. He snaps out of the illusion and called his foxes back, "Youko, Kiba! C-come back," he pants.
His foxes ran to him and curled their tails around his legs.
"Mou, you got out of my illusion. That's no fun," Naraku pouted, "Oh well, do you like my pet? His name is Onigumo," he petted the eight-legged creature.
Kagome shivered in disgust and gripped his sword tighter.
"Why don't we take a trip down to memory lane," Naraku mused, "Do you remember your best friend's face when he died?"
~O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome ran. They were under attack and he needs to check up on his friends if they are okay or not. However, he tripped on something. Kagome groaned and got up from the ground and turned to look and was horrified.
Because Miroku's, his best friend, corpse is lying there with his mouth agape and his eyes opened, lifeless and hollow. His body was split into half and his guts were next to the two body parts and his body as well as everything around the body was bloody.
"Miroku!"
~O*~*O~*O*~O*~O*
"How about your cousins, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru? And your Auntie and Uncle?"
~O*~*O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome checked the Taisho grounds and gasped in horror. Inuyasha's head was on the ground away from the body while Sesshomaru's body is on the wall with knives pinning on him.
Their parents were in a heap and were gunned to death.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"When you found your sister's body?"
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome tumbled on a clearing and saw his sister who has been missing for days.
"Nee-san?" Kagome walked carefully to her and touched her shoulders gently, but the body immediately separated into pieces.
"Oh my God! Kikyo?!" Kagome yelled while backing away.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"Shippo? Rin? Hakudoushi? Kanna? Sesshomaru's bethrothed, Kagura?"
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"Kagura-nee?" he kicked the door open and stared at the scene in shock. The kids have holes all over their body while Kagura was trying to cover them with her body for protection, but obviously failed.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"How about Sango and her little brother, Kohaku
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
The two were in an embrace with their eyes open and was lifeless. There was a scythe on Kohaku's back while there were several arrows on Sango's.
"Sango! Kohaku! Are you guy o—" Kagome let his sentence trailed off when he stumbled in on the scene.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"Your younger brother's scream when he saw the death of your parents."
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"MOOM! DAAD! NOOO!" Souta screamed when he saw his parents fell when a Ragno Famiglia member shot them with bullets coated with Storm Flames.
Kagome ran and slashed at the enemies trying to reach his little brother, "SOUTA, GET OUT! RUN!"
Souta turned to his older brother ready to run away, but was too late.
BANG
"NOOO! SOUTA!" Kagome screamed when he saw Souta's eyes dimmed and became lifeless. There was a thud when his body hit the floor.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"How about your elder brother when he saved you?"
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
Kagome scrambled away, but it was no use since the Ragno swordsman kept advancing at him. The swordsman pulled his hand and ready to thrust it through his heart.
He closed his eyes waiting for his death, but nothing happened to him except warm, sticky fluid splattered on his face. He opened his eyes and saw his aniki in front of him.
The 17-year-old killed the swordsman from the Ragno, but he was also hit. He turned slightly and grinned, "That's not what I taught you. You should try to use the things I taught you, otouto. I'm not always going to be there to save you," he coughed up blood then completely turned to him, "Be good, alright?" Bankotsu ruffled his hair and smiled genuinely before letting his eyes close and falling back.
"A-aniki?" Kagome rushed to him; he felt for any pulse, "No, no, no! Don't leave me! Please don't!" he pounded on his chest, "Aniki, please open your eyes!" Kagome cried. His tears streaming down his face, "I have no one left, please don't leave me too!"
Kagome sobbed, "ANIKI!" he screamed.
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
"That was always my favorite part," Naraku commented.
Throughout all of these, the others were all watching in horror and sadness. Their friend/ally/sparring buddy has always been secretive. He never talked about his family except that they're all gone, but this…this is tragic.
"Yamero," Kagome whisperered vehemently, "yamero, yamero, yamero," Kagome repeated the word again and again.
Naraku chuckled, "You always ruin my fun! I love hearing you scream, them scream! Ha!" Naraku laughed, "I love the last part where you begged for your brother who's already dead!"
"SHUT UP!" Kagome roared and rushed head in with his foxes by his heel.
"Kagome, no! He's just baiting you!" Reborn called out.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME AND MY FAMILY!" Kagome shouted, but before he could land his attack someone interfered. He and his foxes jumped back and looked clearly who intercepted his attack and he asked in a disbelief voice, "A-aniki?"
Naraku patted the human puppet on his shoulder, "Isn't this great? Your brother's back! Isn't that what you wanted? To be with your brother again?"
"You—you, you sick person!" Kagome attacked again, but was deflected by his brother again.
"What did you do to him?!" Kagome demanded.
"Made him a puppet," Naraku piped up, "The only downsides is that he doesn't age."
Kagome growled, "I am going to fucking kill you!" he rushed in, but he knows that he's going to face his brother first before killing Naraku.
Banryuu and his sword, Gin, clashed.
"Aniki, do you remember me?" Kagome said as he dodged a blow to his left.
Bankotsu stayed silent and kept attacking.
Kagome jumped back, "I don't want to fight you," he dropped his weapon and started towards him when he stopped moving.
"Idiot! Don't let go of your sword, dumbass!" Reborn told him and Kagome ignored him.
"It's too bad he wants to fight you, Kagome," Naraku spoke.
He was right because Bankotsu rushed towards Kagome and got hold of his throat and slammed him to a tree.
Kagome clawed the hand away from his throat, "A-aniki, please try to remember me," he managed to wheezed out.
Bankotsu's hollow, blank eyes flickered to life for a second and his grip on him weakened, but it's enough time for Kagome to knee him on the gut and then kicked him across the clearing. He quickly grabbed his sword and made a beeline to Naraku.
Bankotsu intervened by kicking him on the side. Kagome rolled on the ground and clutched his side in pain and hissed, but he stood up and attacked his brother.
They don't know how long they have been fighting and Kagome was getting tired. He saw an opening and kicked his brother's sword away and landed a roundhouse kick on his side and an uppercut on his stomach.
Bankotsu flew again and groaned in pain. He tried to stand up, but he got his wind knocked out.
Kagome panted and ordered her foxes to battle the giant spider. He twirled his sword once. Twice. Thrice. Then got into a fighting position. He attacked Naraku with renewed vigor.
Naraku kept dodging his blows, "My, my. Aren't you a bit too excited to kill me?"
"Of course I am," Kagome grunted.
Naraku laughed and jumped in the air and in that second Kagome found the chance to stab him.
Again before he can land the hit, Bankotsu interfered.
Kagome sensed a déjà vu, "A-aniki?" Bankotsu's blood splattered on his face since his face was at his torso's level and that's where he stabbed, "A-aniki, no," he choked back a sob.
His sob alerted many people and turned to look and saw the scene.
Naraku jumped away from the siblings and watched the show.
The siblings were back on the ground and Bankotsu's eyes flickered to life, but it stayed this time, "I remember you now. You're my brother, aren't you?" he coughed.
Kagome nodded great sadness etched in his face.
Bankotsu laughed weakly, "Well, it's nice to see you again. I haven't seen you in three years and our reunion was, well," he chuckled softly and ruffled his hair just like how he used to, "Be g-good! And d-don't forget I l-love y-you," with those words his body slowly turned to ash and some was carried into the wind.
Kagome kneeled and stared at the ashes in shock.
"Aww, my toy is gone," Naraku sounded disappointed.
"You—you attacked my family, you killed my loved ones, tortured my sister, took my brother's corpse," Kagome started as he shook in anger.
Everyone in the clearing saw the teardrops falling from his face and cascading down his face and felt pity. Their fighting with the monsters was done finishing it during the siblings' battle.
"Turned him into a puppet, attacked the Vongola, and made me see my brother again as a puppet then let me fight him. You showed my friends how much of a monster you are. You—you are a despicable being and you don't deserve to live," Kagome stood up slowly and readied his sword in front of him. "I hate you and I hope you rot in Hell," the next thing everyone knew he disappeared.
He reappeared behind Naraku and kicked him. He disappeared again and appeared at the receiving end and gripped his collar then punched him across the face.
Naraku was taken off guard as the assassin was too quick for him.
This went on for a while with Kagome kicking, punching, or slashing him with his sword; he was finally on the ground with Kagome standing above him with cold, emotionless eyes when he picked up his collar and punched him repeatedly.
"This is for my cousins, my friends, my parents, my siblings, everyone that you killed," he said with conviction in his voice, "I hate you!"
Naraku was too weak to keep the barrier up and the scene. Everything went back to normal. No barriers and they are back in the ballroom.
Kagome is about to deliver the final blow when Yamamoto and Ryohei stopped him.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Kagome struggled against their holds, "He deserves to die!"
They shook their heads.
"He's still human, Kagome," Tsuna spoke calmly.
Kagome denied, "He's a monster! A demon!"
Tsuna shook his head, "Kagome, he doesn't deserve to die,"
"You have no fucking idea how much pain I went through because of this bastard! He killed my Family for fuck's sake!"
"You're right! We have no clue how much you went through, but what about us? Aren't we your Family?!" Tsuna snapped.
"That's different and you know it! The Sventratori is my real family not Vongola! I don't even know if I'm welcomed to it!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm an assassin. My views greatly differ from yours. You are too soft-hearted. You believe everyone is given a chance! Just like what are you doing right now! You think that this bastard deserves to live after everything he did to me. To us!" Kagome spat out in anger, "That would be your downfall one day. You are too weak, Tsuna! You don't deserve to be the Vongola Decimo!" Kagome said and once he finished his words Tsuna punched him.
The others gasped.
"Tsuna-kun," Enma looked at the brown haired boss.
"Lil bro," Dino stared at him.
"You don't know a thing about me," Tsuna said softly.
Kagome shook the hands off of him when Ryohei and Yamamoto were in shock.
"Yes, actually I do. I know everything about you," Kagome spat out some blood. "I meant what I said, you don't deserve to be the next Vongola Boss. You are not fit to be one," he sheathed his sword again and went to Bankotsu's ashes. He kneeled and took a necklace that has a blue four-pointed star and put it on. He took Banryuu which was lodged into a wall next to it. He also put some of Bankotsu's ashes to a vial he got from his pocket. He called his foxes back—who was done beating the spider up—and put them back to his box.
"Where are you going?" Tsuna asked.
"Away. Away from all this fucked up shit," Kagome glanced at them coldly.
"Why?" Chrome asked. She took over once again when the fight was done.
Kagome scoffed, "Since you guys don't want me to kill Naraku, I'm done. You can call the Vindici if you like that much better."
"Kagome, come back here," Reborn threatened and fired at him he didn't move or make a witty comeback. He just let it grazed his cheek and kept on walking.
"Are you coming back?" Mammon asked.
"Tch. Who knows," Kagome started acting the way he did when they first met him, "I may or may not come back," he disappeared after saying his part.
Hibari was about to follow him when the four Arcobalenos shook their heads.
"Let him calm down, kora," Colonnello told him.
"He got a hot head this moment and it's for the best for all of us to let him cool down," Lal added.
Hime groaned suddenly and Ryohei went to treat her.
Finally, the Vindici arrived and took Naraku's unconscious body and his spider, but none of them pay heed because all their attention is on the dark haired assassin.
