Kyoya had expected someone waiting for him when he arrived in Italy, but Gokudera Hayato was the last person he expected. Satsuki often mentioned how the hot headed bomber was her best friend, but he was having a hard time believing that Gokudera returned the sentiment, seeing as he was a part of sending his wife into danger.

"Hibari." Gokudera dropped the cigarette, stepping on it as he moved towards him.

Kyoya immediately punched the storm guardian across his face when he got within range.

The hit took the silver haired man off his feet and Kyoya watched with no emotion as he began to push himself to his feet.

"I deserved that." He grumbled.

So he was guilty, but that didn't change what he had done.

"Where is she?"

"You need to talk to the boss. I have a car, let me take you."

When they did arrive at the base, he found himself surrounded by the rest of the guardians and he didn't like it. They were crowding for a reason.

Eyes narrowed, he glared at his so called boss. "Where is she Sawada." He asked.

"Hibari-san maybe you should sit-" Tsuna cleared his throat, sending a quick look over the rest of his guardians before continuing. "Never mind. Satsuki-chan volunteered to infiltrate an enemy base to help one of our members, who was taken captive to escape."

Everyone watched as Kyoya's jaw clenched as Tsuna filled him in on the details. Yamamoto and Ryohei shared a look just as Tsuna finished. Kyoya was tense, his body just waiting to spring.

"Who did she go rescue?" Even though his voice was smooth, Tsuna could see the rage boiling underneath the calm facade.

"Hibari-san if you go after her you'll risk revealing her as a spy and she could get hurt."

"A name Sawada." Kyoya spat out.

"Muku-" Tsuna wasn't even able to finish saying the name before Kyoya sprang forward, his tonfa's already out with purple flames flaring out wildly.

The three guardians and their boss all moved to restrain their most powerful guardian.

"Calm down Hibari!" Ryohei grunted, "You trained Satsuki yourself, she can handle herself!"

"Hibari-san please calm down." Yamamoto winced as the cloud flames seem to get stronger.

Kyoya stopped struggling, realizing that if he appeared out of control they wouldn't tell him what he wanted to know. "Where is she Sawada?"

"I can't tell you that Hibari-san."

The urge for violence was strong but he kept his temper in check. "Sawada, she is my wife. We have a two month old son, why did you let her do this?"

It was clear from the look on Tsuna's face that this was not his idea, but Reborn's. How bad was this situation if even that snake Mukuro was unable to rescue himself.

Lost in his thoughts Kyoya didn't notice the Arcobaleno step into the room, a gun pointed at his head.

Almost in slow motion he watched the others faces shift into shock as a loud bang rang through the room, something hitting him right in the head as darkness began to spread across his vision.

"Reborn what the hell!" Tsuna snapped as the others grabbed the now unconscious body of his cloud guardian.

"I promised Satsuki he would not interfere, that bullet should knock him out for a few hours. I expect you to move him to somewhere secure."

"I don't like this Reborn."


Satsuki almost spilled the cup of coffee with how badly her hands were shaking. She had done it. She had sent a fake report to the nursing station to lower the amount of the drug that kept Mukuro's abilities suppressed. In the past few days Maxwell had given her more freedom with his files and started having her deliver messages to other labs, including the one that took care of drugging Mukuro.

She had switched an older copy of the orders with the newer one and watched the girl enter the amounts.

Nerves were getting to her and she wasn't able to control it.

"Whoa, Ayumi are you okay?" Sarah, her intern from the other facility asked. "You're shaking pretty bad."

"I think it's the pain pills and the three cups I had before this." She laughed, hoping it sounded genuine.

"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much coffee." Sarah smiled oblivious.
