The guardians took turns to guard their beloved boss, who lay suspended in an extremely vulnerable state. Hibari demanded offered to take all night watches. The werewolves patrolled twice as frequently and Himori hadn't move from his spot from the chandelier above Tsuna's suspended body.

For two long and agonizing days, Tsuna was still. There was not even a twitch and with every second that passed, the guardians became more angsty. However as daybreak approached on the third day, Hibari caught sight of a small movement from the corner of his eye. Himori flew from his spot for the first time in days and snuggled into the front of the vampire's shirt.

Slowly but surely, the sphere began to crack. The fine hairline cracks couldn't be seen at first. However, as Tsuna's dying will flames grew bigger, they become more significant.

"Go tell the others," Hibari spoke softly but his voice was firm. Himori didn't hesitate and flew out the window at once.

"Juudaime! How do you feel?"

It has been an hour since Tsuna awoke from his mysterious prison. Ryohei inspected him from head to toe at least twice before allowing the others to see him. Lambo seemed relieved and so did Hibari, much to everyone's amusement. Yamamoto only accepted that Tsuna was alright after he physically examined the brunet himself. The archer on the other hand, remained to be convinced.

It wasn't until the vampire got annoyed at the bomber's loud voice that he 'bit' him to death.

"Meet me at the training room tomorrow, omnivore. We're going to test out your new powers."

Nobody said anything as the prefect walked away while yawning.

"Well then," Yamamoto broke the silence. "I think you should eat something and rest, Tsuna. Hibari's probably not going to go easy on you tomorrow."

The brunet grimaced. He certainly didn't doubt his cloud guardian's twisted way of showing his concern.

Wao. The little animal definitely grew stronger. As Tsuna drew blood, Hibari smirked. The omnivore's progress after the trial was certainly showing. It was a small scratch, hardly enough to hurt but it was a significant mark of improvement. The blood thirst in Tsuna's eyes made the prefect proud.

It wasn't something anybody expected but it wasn't totally unwelcomed. When Tsuna first activated his gift after the trial, Hibari felt as if a certain part of his privacy was invaded. Tsuna's Hero gift really reflected well on his personality. Using the strength of his allies to help fight his battles was truly the omnivore's signature move. As the Sky, he brought everyone together. Hibari wasn't opposed to it but he didn't think that such a talent could ever materialise in a literal manner. He was wrong.

When in a party with Tsuna, the young Vongola was able to 'borrow' an ability of any party member to use for himself over a period of time. This reminded the prefect of their battle ten years into the future when Tsuna tried to steal the box weapon from his ten year older self and use it against him. This was similar but creepier on a whole new level.

Watching the pure and innocent boy 'borrow' his blood lust was simply disturbing. Then again, what mattered the most now was how it made the brunet stronger. The will to kill was the only thing lacking in Tsuna and Hibari thought that it might be better this way. He didn't quite want the omnivore to stain his hands with blood but at the same time, he knew that it was an inevitable future. Being a mafia boss gave Tsuna no choice but to walk the path of bloodshed.

"Not if I can help it," Hibari thought to himself as he watched the effect fade and Tsuna's caramel eyes return to normal. The omnivore was still young and it was Hibari's duty to raise him correctly. For now, this was good enough. The boy didn't need to learn how to kill his prey yet, disarming them is good enough. Hibari will land the final blow for him this round.

"Hn, not bad. In another week, we will regroup with the pineapple herbivore and bite the Demon King to death."

Although thoroughly exhausted, Tsuna beamed. There was just something about gaining Hibari's approval that made him all warm and tingly inside.

"Yes, Hibari-san."

The werewolves took advantage of the enslaving contract and hid in Hibari's shadow, unable to withstand the horrible heat. The sun was merciless and even if it couldn't harm the powerful vampire, it made Hibari twice as grouchy. Yamamoto suggested renting a carriage so that Hibari could nap inside while they saved time and travelled more efficiently.

It was quite the feat trying to get all his guardians to agree on one carriage. Tsuna didn't think it was possible but he managed to get everyone to come to a compromise. Instead of getting two separate carriages like what Hibari wanted, they got a carriage that had two levels so that Hibari could have the top level to himself.

Gokudera marvelled at the existence of a double levelled carriage for some reason and only stopped when Lambo reminded him that they were in a different world.

Regardless, the journey to the Demon Continent went smoothly. According to Hibari's information sources, Mukuro was still somewhere in the Demon King's dungeon, unable to make it to the castle. Something about this world's legend prevented him from defeating the Demon King alone even if he was strong enough to do so.

According to local legends, heroes would be revived outside the dungeon's entrance should they die on their quest. Tsuna was slightly relieved to know that but paled when Yamamoto asked what would happen if they died outside of the dungeon. Nobody spoke for a while after that.

By nightfall, they set camp and Hibari offered to take the night watch after his hunt. The werewolves took to patrolling the area. With so many thoughts rolling around in his head, it took Tsuna a long time to fall asleep. He was feeling equal parts of nervousness and anxiousness about their final quest in this world. He didn't know if the Goddess would keep her word and send them back. He also didn't want to think about how much time had passed in their world. Would it be like the future where time didn't flow in the same proportion or the opposite? What would Reborn do when he finally returned? It has to be several good months since they arrived in this strange world. With so many unanswered questions in his head, the brunet eventually gave in to fatigue and fell into an uneasy slumber.

Outside the dungeon, a blue haired sage cursed. This was the second time that stupid fire breathing lizard had done it. He was so close to seeing what was behind that final door too! At this rate, the useless Vongola and his gang would catch up with him in no time.

Without Chrome around to ground him, the illusionist spiralled deeper and deeper into the abyss of madness. How long was it since he saw sunlight? Mukuro couldn't remember. Every night was filled with the screams torn from his throat. His right eye throbbed in phantom pain at the memory of his time with the Estraneo Family.

"Kufufu~ Don't think you'vebest me yet… I will be the one to kill you and return."
