PART 7: The darkness.
Flashback…
"Kufufufufu..You must do it right."
"Hmph! Shut up!" hands folded.
"Whatever you planned Mukuro Rokudo, I will not forgive you if you fail."
"But, even so, I can't believe we are participating in this kind of work. Maa, it's too ugly. Nee boss.." Fan the boss.
"Would it hurt? Tch!"
"What stupid are you from?!"
"Of course it will come handy. Idiot!" He whacks the second guy with his knife approximately hitting his butt.
"It was damn HURT! BEL! I thought we would be companion."
"Ha! As if I want too. I'd be willing be one with the little frog we have here.
"Bel nii san is sooo meany.." the small boy leaned to the elder body.
"Shut up stinky head frog!" He throws 2 knifes to the bird and the poor bird fall down to the ground drowning in its blood, shattered in pieces. "That's what will happen to you if really wished to die!"
"Don't wanna…" he said in monotone.
"Like I care! Wash your hair at least once in a week! Stinks!"
"Oya..Oya..Must you treat my little brother like that?"
"I'm no idiot but he does." The younger boy pointed fingers to the white haired guy.
"Vraii! I'm just thinking of our profit alright! AND why am I dragged in your stupid argument anyway?!"
"Squalo, no need to exaggerated." Levi said pursed lips.
"Maa, Levy as if you have the right." Lussuria said again, still sitting next to the boss, Xanxus.
Suddenly a loud bang heard. All turned at the boss who merely sitting cross legged.
"We just have to do it, right?" the boss snickered.
"Kufufufu..that's it, if you can."
"Hmph! Who's that fly?" He grunts.
"The target is…"

'Dong! Dong! Dong!'
The clock tower chimed at 1500 hour. The silent was shortened with sounds of metals charging at each other. The shouting from both men making all the students moved frantically saving themselves.
"Hibari !" Mukuro's voice boomed through the bulding as they crashed the walls. People going in and out of the level three while squealing horridly.
Mukuro, bumped to the edge of anon's desk, and stopped his conversation wiping the blood from his crack lips.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" In three long strides, Mukuro closed the difference between them, pulling his arm back as he delivered a powerful blow to Hibari's jaw.
The student committee president tumbled backward with the force of the blow, landing in a tangled heap behind the desk. "What the hell-?" The rest of the strangers (students) had been stunned into silence and temporary inaction allowing Hibari to grab Mukuro by the neck and slam him into the glassy windows behind his desk.
So hard until the window cracked.
"WHAT WERE YOU PLANNING THIS TIME?" Hibari asked in grimly deep voice punctuating the question by increasing the pressure around the young man's neck. "WHEN?"
Mukuro tried to drag in enough air to speak but with Hibari's hands tightening around his throat he could barely get enough to stay conscious, at least now M.M and Ken were trying to help him by pulling Hibari away. They were trying, and they were far close to succeeding.
Mukuro smirks as he saw the failed attempt of his friends. He held his trident against the window tightly since his hands was pinned closed to window. "Just so you know, I'm just a waste of time. My partners have been making the 'scene' somewhere inside this building. I'm just the pawn to distract you. Kufufufufu.."
It was then Hibari realize something had been wrong. The building was empty today.
M.M and Chikusa had now joined back in the effort to remove the enraged president from their leader before the young friend was killed. Hibari was still thinking hard of the upcoming accident until his grasps on Mukuro was slowly loosen.
Then Mukuro crushed down the window by himself and jump out from the third level. Hibari could just look at their stupid behavior and quickly took a lift downwards.
There's no time to waste. Somebody down there is going to be the victim.

"Ho w was your wound?" Reborn asked out of topic and grinned while turning at Haru and Chrome who just nodded. Tsuna then looked at Reborn again whose eyebrow maintain calm with extended hand. She was looking at him with curiosity.
"I'm…fine…" She blushed looking aside.
"It's good to see you good. Walking around like this. You should build your stamina because you looked like cadaverous." Reborn said again liking it more when Tsuna look down to her leg with eyes frowning rebutted.
"I'm not." She said faintly retorted back and her eyes snap widen when she felt something moving under the ground and heard some rumbling sounds.
"Do you feel that?" Tsuna suddenly asked. She felt dizzy as she was standing and Reborn held her arms supporting her to stand.
"What was? Are you alright?"
"Was it my imagination or the ground was shaking? I just can't stable myself. Don't you feel it?" Reborn was alarmed at her question and looking down to the earth, analyzing. It was true; he also realized something is shaking. And then, he looked up.
"It's not the ground! But the building! MOVE Tsuna!"
Tsuna was about to grab his extended hand when suddenly the building above them exploded and collapse.
"Tsuna-chan!"
"Tsuna!"
Her eyes were turning hazy and unfocused…
"Tsuna!"
Then, she realized, it was Reborn who was calling for her again and again… holding onto her hands desperately…
Or…That was what she thought until a slap crossed her face, hard.
"IT HURT!" she squealed jerking out from her dizziness to full consciousness only to find his face closed to her.
"Reborn.."She murmured under her breath and a pain smiles grace her bloodied face weakly,
"You should be more careful idiot!" Then, Reborn smiled warmly turning his body to her side, hands still holding hers. Truth to be told, his so called invincible body felt pain.
"Sorry." Tsuna muttered slowly and huskily.
"Why are you sorry for?"
"Because you protected me."
"Dame-Tsuna."
"…" She blushed slightly.
"Don't get the wrong idea."
Reborn took a glimpse of her face and felt safe again when he felt her hands grabs onto his lightly but he turned to panic as her grabs was slowly loosening and weaker.
"Tsuna..you okay?" Reborn tried to ask calmly while looking at the already closed eyelids denying all the other possibilities. He then tried to push the heavy stones from above them…which is futile.
His legs were already cramped. And his vision turns cloudy. He barely can see the situation he was in.
The next thing he realize certain steel blue eyes brushed against his body and kneed besides Tsuna, unexpectedly showing his worried face for the unconscious brunette.
And, he was glaring at Reborn demanding for explanations. But, those eyes was back to the unconscious brunette again.
"SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Kyouya Hibari frantically shouted and Haru who was nearer quickly dialed the ambulance, while Hibari restricted the place off limit. Shoving people off with his icy glares.
"What's going on?!" Gokudera showed up in the middle of misery with frowned on his face.
"It was Tsuna-chan… and…and Reborn sempai." Haru stuttered anxiously gritted her teeth as Kyouya didn't bother to answer but running towards the unconscious Tsuna and hold her bloodied head closer to his chest wrapping it with cloth.
The steel blue eyes were closed tightly and his hands tighten in fist. With angry and vengeance. And Reborn darted his eyes away from the angry Kyouya Hibari towards the ground as he rolled beside Tsuna after a few students (including Gokudera) removed the stoned above him.
Blackness begin to descend upon Reborn too as he felt the pressure around his back head increased, he thought briefly about trying to breathe as he fell into the void…into the darkness.

Reborn regain his consciousness after a while, realizing the painful sensation on his rough skin when the nurse gave injection and the bottle fluids which were shaking at the hanger causes more pain when the vehicle he was in is moving at high speed. He furrowed his eyes when they hurled lights in his eyes and the medical officer was checking his limbs and he also realized his neck was splint. It makes it harder for him to turn aside as he realized there was another person in that ambulance.
It was dame-Tsuna.
"What's your name student?" The nurse asked diverting his attention. And he answered and so on..
It was then he heard one of the other nurse shouted, "LOC 8/15! Almost too low. She needs resuscitation." He could feel their hands were frantically moving around Tsuna besides him. Their works effectiveness became the question here when the space was too small. And Reborn could only grunts in dissatisfied and worry.
The beeping sounds of the monitors suddenly turning loud and it makes him worry even more thinking about dame Tsuna condition. The nurses frantically giving IV resuscitations, taking her blood and administering other injections.
He closed his eyes hoping for her safety.
After a short while, the shrill beeping sounds were normal again, and Reborn sighed of relief as his body and mind give in towards the painkillers. This time his eyes adjusted to the dark, and he wandered towards the white ceiling failed to understand why his left hands was holding her lifeless hands hanging in between. He flinched at the cold hands... and his eyes closed, then shot open again when the cold hands was taken into her blanket for warmth and the black orbs closed again.
For good.

Chrome gasped and shocked when her friends had fallen unconscious after her head was hit by the collapse walls and she was surrounds by the pools of her bloods. So red and disgusting that the beautiful Chrome felt like vomiting.
Chrome was walking aimlessly towards certain grim place filled with anonymous gravity which only she knows whose gravity that was. She walked through the eerie place stomping fast and hard together with her raging heart waiting for answers from her brother.
She needs to find answer.
And there's no way she would let him do anything!
….
….
Mukuro was limping as he tried to walk but damn; his leg hurts so much form the hard momentum effect from the jumping. It's embarrassing, but he missed his grabs on the tree branch. He didn't know where was he going but he knows one thing, he needs to hide now…
Since his sister saw him hiding behind the tree during that ruckus.
"Onii-san! Where are you?! I know you were hiding somewhere here!" Mukuro decides to just hide himself behind the old building. Breathing deeply.
"Onii-san! I know it was you who did it! You create Tsuna-chan accident, don't you?" Chrome was shouting out loud. She didn't care if someone heard her.
And Mukuro just snickered wickedly while moving closer to Chrome from behind. He groped her shoulder harshly and made her spin on her toes and both of them fell onto the floor.
…
Chrome gasped and squealed at the pain on her back which was resonating to her back and lower limb. It was too sudden, and the next thing she realized, she found herself in the mounted position with her back fully on the hard ground and her brother is on his knees above her, gaining greater control to strike while she is extremely restricted.
"Nagi…"
Chrome eyes wide opened and realized the poisonous and grimly deep voice was talking to her. She immediately forgot about the pain on her back and eyes pointed to the unmatched eyes.
"What have you done? Onii-san. No. Mukuro-sama..what have you done?!" Chrome was trying to keep her voice stern and serious so that her brother would take her seriously. She knew it foremost that her brother likes to ridicule people especially his sister.
"Oya..oya..Now you are looking at me as if you want to eat me. Was Tsuna-chan that precious to you?"
"…Yes." He smirks wickedly again at her answer while Chrome pointed away.
"Let me be clear Nagi..I'm not the one causing those explosions. I'm just fighting with the student committee because he had ceased one tenth of my place. That's all. The explosion must have happened to anybody who was down there. Not only Tsuna-chan."
"What do you mean, MUkuro-sama?"
"I just mean what I meant." Mukuro smirks again, this time softly speaking to his sister.
"I didn't know why I should believe you, Onii-san…You speaks nothing but lies." Chrome turned her eyes away from him to the other side. "What brothers who will pin down her sister like this?"
Mukuro looked down at their current positions. It is, certainly can cause misunderstanding if no one knows the real reason they were in mounted position. He looks like a real pervert or rapist right now. And he quickly pulled away and sat besides Chrome, looking down at her while Chrome is trying hard to sit.
"I'm sorry, dear Nagi… I didn't mean to hurt you like that. But you just so thin and spin like a top when I pulled you." He slides his hands to her back, stroking it gently to relieve her pain. "I'm sorry."
Chrome was blushing quite visible at her brother's touch.
"To tell you the truth Nagi, I don't want you to go out with that despicable guy. Not without my supervision. I can't have my possession going out with others." Chrome eyes going wide at his confession.
"But I..I already told you that I was going out with someone and you approved it.." Chrome retorted back defending herself.
"It's okay if that someone was someone other than him! He was just an idiot."
Chrome suddenly flared up and gotten angry at his brother's words. "He is not despicable or idiot or anything like you said!" Chrome's chest was heaving up and down furiously and Mukuro just laugh eerily at his sister's determination to fall in love with that despicable guy.
"Why are you laughing?!" Chrome got up on her legs sorely, trying to move. "I'm going back!"
Before she moved out from that old building, she turned back delivering the nails back to her brother. He was still chuckling. "I'm not your possession! And you are not going to hurt Tsuna because of your stupid obsession and stupid group and all!" She walked over passed her brother and stop midway.
"And, before I forgot, leave – HIM – alone! He is not one you can par on."
Chrome was shifting her legs anxiously for raising her voice towards her brother. She was afraid…certainly. But what said is said and she needs to keeps forward.
"And I love him…Onii-san…" and she walked out the door.
Mukuro just stood there silently looking at his sister's back. He knew she was certainly serious when she bravely stood for herself. And when she said she loves him, she was blushing red and really determined. He smiled at the changes of his beloved sister but that doesn't mean he accepted him.
No way in hell…

Tsuna sorely open up her eyes just because she was disturbed by a huge racket and her sleeps was getting shorten.
"Tsu-kun, is she alright?"
"Calm down madam..she is alright now. It's our responsibilities to make sure she is at her top conditions."
"How did my daughter getting those injuries?"
"The only information we have is, the building was collapsed right on her but luckily she was brought here earlier.."
"Is she alright? How can we know? "
"We can't conform until she wakes up. But she is in stable condition now."
"So, you mean…she is alright right?" and the doctor just nodded and smile softly at the anxious parents.
"Thanks…, doctor."
And Nana cried again. Her eyes gotten red and swollen.
"Calm down Nana." Iemitsu reassured her stroking her back softly.
"But, I don't understands how can she get these injuries in this Vongola Universities? These university was supposed to have the most greatest security and equipments.. So..how? How did she…" and cried again.
Suddenly, her eyes pointed towards the green haired boy who was standing at the edge of the room...alone, gritted his teeth.
"You! Is it you who make her like this?!" Nana scolded the green haired boy.
"No! I swear it wasn't me! I just cared for her! That's all." Skull said defending himself.
"No! I can't believe you!"
"Calm down..madam.." Kyouya interfered. " I believe it was my fault too since I didn't manage the students well.
Nana squints at the head student committee suspiciously… then she cooled down at the determination stares of the steel blue eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I still can't believe this was happening to me." She said wistfully and hugs Iemitsu on the waist to rely on. Her legs seem weaken with every second and Iemitsu took her home to rest for a while.
Skull was waiting for another accusation before they leave and Kyouya Hibari just looked at him suspiciously. He kept staring at the other guy who was staring sadly at the unconscious brunette from afar... Hence, he made his steps towards the alien guy who seems like a punk in the street.
"Who are you?" He asked rudely shoving his tonfa against Skull face. But Skull was silent and still looking at Tsuna apparently ignoring him completely. Which annoyed the skylark.
"Don't you hear me? Who. Are. You.? Why are you here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I came for her of course." He said without looking at Kyouya in the eyes and sat beside the bed, holding Tsuna's lifeless hand.
"…."
"I am the one you called earlier. Her closed relatives. You can say..we are friends."
Kyouya was stunned. Since when did the daughter of Cielo make friends with a street punk like him? And why was his name was the first person he called earlier?
"It's alright if you don't want to believe me. But I only said the truth."
"…"
"The Cielo family was the one who changed her like this. She would never go to the Vongola University if not because of her family…and she wouldn't involve with these kinds of injuries ever."
Kyouya just stay muted and glaring at Skull who he just met. "I didn't want to hear you buffing about Cielo family here and I just wished you to get out. Just leave… " He said with straight face.
"No…until I see her wake up."
Suddenly, Skull felt the weak movement of her fingers and frantically turned to look at her. Her eyes was slowly opened and weak.
"K-kyo-ya-san…" is the first thing she saw.
"Natsu! Are you alright?!"
Sunset meets the emerald…locking gazes…
"…"
"Who…are...you?" her voice was dull and slow.
And Skull pulled of his hands from her, but eyes still locking on her.
His heart frantically thumping against his ribs.
And he can feel his heart is ripping apart. Tearing. Cutting.
And it's painful…
"…Natsu…"
"…"
