He was mentally exhausted, but that didn't stop him from standing up again, especially since many people had begun giving him weird looks when he was on the floor in the middle of the streets.

They couldn't have gone far, Tsuna thought in an attempt to comfort himself as he looked around. But then he stopped when something occurred to him.

"Heh?" Tsuna clawed at his own face. Why am I worried about them? "AH, THEY'VE TAKEN OVER MY BRAIN!"

He began pulling at his hair. "No no no no, I don't care about what happens to them, I'm going home!"

And so he began to make his way back home. But they should be able to find their way back anyway. He had his hand pressed on his front door already, but he made no move to open it.

What if something happened to them? Mukuro is the only one with common sense… sort of, and Hibari and Giotto are new…

Before he could think any more, there was a screeching of a car behind him, making him turn sharply. As the black car drove by, Tsuna's eyes somehow managed to catch sight of the driver; a young woman.

And then he saw a flash of blue and blonde hair in the back of the car before it drove off.

Mukuro's hair? Giotto's hair?

"Wait!" Tsuna found himself running in pursuit of the car, but it had already driven off into the distance.

"…"

Hibari must be with them…

Tsuna's movements were very much robotic as he opened the door to his house and made his way to his bed without a thought in his head as he felt very much drained and dead. Then he proceeded to drop down on it and fall asleep, fully clothed.

The next day, Tsuna was woken by a doorbell – again. In the same fashion he had woken up what was days ago, he made his way downstairs.

Upon opening the door, what looked like a corpse dropped into his house. Shrieking with surprise, Tsuna jumped back as the person fell flat onto his floor.

"Um…" Tsuna mumbled, composing himself. He crouched down by it and poked at it, praying that it was still alive. How was he going to explain it to the police, right?

But then he took a good look at the person, and jumped back again. "Giotto!"

It was definitely one of the dolls. The blonde doll was still lying like a corpse on the ground.

"What- what…"

Tsuna grabbed Giotto's shoulders and forced him upright. "Hello?" he squeaked. Giotto's eyes were, thankfully, half open – it was rather creepy at the same time it was suggestive.

"Tsuna?" Giotto whispered. "Oh, good, it's you."

"What happened?" Tsuna asked with his eyes wide. "Where are the others? What were you doing in the car? WHY DO I CARE?" he yelped in realisation that he was actually worried about some dolls.

Tsuna jumped up, letting Giotto fall to the ground again. "You found your original owner, didn't you? I saw the driver, it was a girl. Go back," Tsuna said hurriedly, turning away. He was totally in denial.

"Tsuna…"

He turned back and saw that Giotto was standing up, but was leaning slightly on the wall for support.

"Mukuro and Hibari are with the witch," Giotto said, glaring slightly like he was angered. "She was the one that bought us, but you saw what she did – she kidnapped us. And when we refused to let her kiss us, she locked us up in a blasted room. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP MUKURO AND HIBARI-"

Giotto cut off, and sighed. "Sorry, I lost it for a minute…" He then looked up at a startled Tsuna with a smile. "So I managed to get out after begging and pleading for her to let me out otherwise I'd be torn apart by the other two, and when she agreed, I bolted all the way here."

Tsuna was to say the least, shocked.

"Anyway, I was dead tired because I had been away from you, but I'm fine now. But I don't know about Hibari and Mukuro, they might as well be dead now…"

"Dead? You can't die! You're a doll," Tsuna cried, pulling at his hair, worried about Hibari and Mukuro like they were humans, and worried by the fact he was worried.

"Dead battery, then," Giotto said simply. "Or, soon enough, since they're probably keeping themselves alive by going at each other's throat all the time – but soon. Then they'll be kissed."

"By that girl?" Tsuna breathed, recalling the face in the car.

Giotto nodded. "You want to get them back, don't you?" he asked softly. And before Tsuna could even deny it, Giotto took his hand in his. "Don't worry, we will."

"B-but…"

But Tsuna didn't finish his protest, because something inside him told him that he should go. "Okay…" he finished.

"Good," Giotto smiled. "I know how we can get there, but we might not make it even by car…"

"Then what should we do?" Tsuna said worriedly, not even noticing the sly smile on Giotto's face.

"There is a way…"

Tsuna turned to the blonde, eagerly. "What?"

"I can carry you," Giotto smirked, making the brunette's face flush red and render him stuttering for words of protest. "I can run faster than a car can drive, after all, I am a doll – I'm not restricted to humans."

Tsuna felt like crying all of a sudden. "Fine…" he relented; about to add that he had to be piggy-backed, but instead Giotto scooped him up, bridal style.

"Ready?" Giotto said, opening the door.

"W-WAAAIIIIITTTT!"

Tsuna's cry disappeared into the rush of wind and the trail of dust Giotto left behind them as they sped away into the distance.


A/N: No, I'm not dead. Sorry for the late update. School and stuff.
And I lacked motivation to continue this - like I said, I don't like this story. Hah... but I'm still glad there's people out there who do. So wait for the next chapter, and don't forget to leave a review. KAY? O 3O
