Truth to be told. This was the chapter took me the longest time to write. I had totally lost any bits of inspiration on writing KHR ff. I hate it. And now, I'm trying to get my interest back. Desperately. For the future chaps to come. I need it.

Enjoy!

Chapter 9

Previous chapter

"Fran! I said stop. Mukuro is going to get very very mad at you if you messes what is his." Bel said it with a sing song voice. But the little hint of panic is present in his tone.

"I don't care. No one messes with me or what is mine either." Fran replied monotonously with a peck jealously and annoyance on his facial.

"Fran. This is the last warning. And I'm sure Mukuro won't just let you go after what you've done to Gokudera." Bel implied. "And the Vongola I supposed."

"I don't repeat myself. Belphegor."Fran stated. Getting somewhat irate.

"Why you little..."

"Hayato!"

A loud panicky deep velvet voice rang, before Bel could finished his comeback sentence. Mukuro materialize in their presence within seconds.

Needless to say, Mukuro saw the bloody mess of the place he is in now.

Mukuro took in one glance of the room he is standing in right now. His brain trying to processed what had actually happened in here. Things weren't looking great at all. Not a single thing. Everything in that place were so messed up, broken and twisted. It screamed of blood and pain. Torture and agony. It wasn't comforting.

He didn't like a single bit of it.

"Mukuro." Bel whispered his name, enough for Mukuro to break off his trance.

Mukuro snapped awake as he heard Bel. Anger rose as he stride towards where Fran was. Mukuro rage wasn't in check now. Not a second when he knew exactly what Fran did, and who he did to when he saw a motionless pale body dyed with crimson blood lying on the floor. Skins all torn. Streams of blood like tears were staining his pale face. Making him looking like a broken porcelain doll.

"Fran!" Bel shouted his name. Fearing for his partner's life. Mukuro isn't the one person you can predict.

*Slap*

Mukuro gave Fran a hard slap across his face. Strong enough for Fran to take a few steps back. Blood trickled down from Fran's mouth. In that instance, Fran's illusion spell were broken. The chains that were holding Bel back were gone. Fran was stunned, as he held his now redden throbbing cheeks with his hand. His eyes went wide as he stared into Mukuro. Bel, with all his defenses up, stood in front of Fran as soon as the illusion was off. Knowing that the Mukuro right now was extremely dangerous.

Mukuro? Why is he here...

"Disciple or not. I'll get back to you later." Mukuro hissed, cutting off Fran's thought. "I will not let this one go off that easily this time. I've warned you before not to use that."

After declaring his threat towards Fran, he hasten over to treat Gokudera. Anger turned to worry. Mukuro's heart wreak at the state that Gokudera was in. He took immediate action to check for his pulse first. Gokudera's wounds were all too severe. Gokudera's pulse were far too weak. It was barely there.

"Hayato... Hayato." Mukuro questioned with a panicky tone.

There was no reply. Only answers of silence greeted him.

"Hayato... I'll get you back to Vongola Headquarter now." Mukuro whispered, keeping his emotion in.

Damn. I should have come earlier. Mukuro cursed inwardly, as he picked Gokudera up gently in a bridal style from the floor. Not wanting to further inflict damages on Gokudera's injuries. He held him like he's the most fragile things on earth, ever so softly. After a few seconds, he felt some wetness on his clothes. Mukuro's heart almost stopped. He refused to break down. Just not right now. It was all Gokudera's blood that is seeping through his own clothes as he held him. He knew that Gokudera might not survive this. He knew it well enough. He's losing too much blood. And Gokudera emotional state? He didn't even want to think of it.

Hayato... Please hang on. For me. Just for me... Please.

With all the thoughts and wishes that Mukuro had prayed over in his mind again and again, He dissipated off with Gokudera in his protective arms, giving Fran and Bel a last glare. A glare that promised them that he will soon get his vengeance on them. A painful one that they'll have no time to regret for it. For what they have done to Gokudera. His lover. His everything.

After Mukuro had left with Gokudera, the tension in the room left. As well as for Bel. A pang of relief washed over Bel. He was worried all the time when Mukuro had stepped in. Worried for Fran. Mukuro could have done something far more worse than imagination can run wild. But he held in. Bel could see that.

Even of what Fran did, he is still his lover no matter what. This fact will never change. Not even when hell freezes over. A sneaky smirked plastered his face once again. He was happy. Happy that Fran got all-jealous for him. How sinfully sweet is that. Then, images of Gokudera being tortured invaded mind. Bel can't help but his smirked dropped a little. He felt wee guilty that Gokudera had been injured so badly, and it was all because of some misunderstanding that they had among themselves. Nonetheless, Fran and Bel had to better think up of something fast or a whole internal war is going to start. Between Varia and the Vongola. The whole situation is going to be very ugly. Maybe. Xanxus couldn't care less about them living or dead. But Tsuna is different. He hated seeing his friend getting injured. He will do anything to solve the problem. Just that it doesn't involve killing.

He's too soft hearted. This is what happens when you get a sentimental boss. Bel sighed inwardly.

"Ushishishi...Tactics commander is gonna like one and hate the other report." Bel smirked, getting back to his usual sadistic self.

"What have I done?" Fran said in a trembling voice, as he stared hard on his blood stained hands. "Did I just used the forbidden techniques? Did I do all these? All these blood in the room. My emotions get the better of me? No...No...no... I've always keep on my calm. It's impossible." Fran kept whispering to himself. Trying to convince himself that it's impossible for him to do all these. Bel saw Fran's uneasiness and he walked over to console him.

"Fran. Don't fret." Bel cooed him using his loving tone, as he used on of his uninjured hand, softly brushing Fran's throbbing cheeks where Mukuro had given him, trying to gain his froggy attention. It appears to be successful, as Fran looked up to his senpai. Fran was on the verge of crying. Tears were all welding up in his eyes.

"What have I done senpai?" Fran questioned. "What have I done." he once again whispered.

Bel couldn't answer. He won't lie. He can't. Not when both of them knew that all these will not going to be alright. Not when a near death Gokudera and a enraged Mukuro were involved. Vongola's wrath are all well known because of the Varia assassination team. But the Vongola alone. They can't imagine. After the fight with Byakuran in the future, the stand alone cloud guardian and the unpredictable mist guardian are really troublesome people to handle. They seemed to power up themselves more than a lot. More than what the Vongola boss know definitely.

Bel didn't like to see his Froggy getting all afraid. He wanted to so something for him. To calm him down. Bel gave Fran a weak gentle smile as he bent down to Fran's height to kiss him. Fran wasn't all conscious about the kiss. His mind was so occupied with thoughts and it frighten him. Shaken him like never before.

"Fran. Just focus on me. On the kiss." Bel whispered seductively into Fran's ears.

Nonetheless, unconsciously, Fran slowly succumbed to Bel's seductive kiss, wanting to forget all the worries as he downed himself in.

Just for a few moments though. Bel thought. French kissing Fran. Just forget all the worries. All your fears. This is all I could do it for you now. And all hell will break loose later.

After a few moment, Bel broke off from the kiss, letting his little froggy to catch his breathe. Fran's cheeks were in pale tints of red, trying to catch his breathe. He was feeling a little embarrassed from the passionate kiss from his lover. Bel noticed that and he couldn't help but smile a little at his little froggy embarrassment, and glad that he's more or less back to his normal self.

"Fran. Let's go back. I need to report to Squalo about the mission. And no doubt about this matter also." Bel murmured at his last sentence with a bit of reluctance. No matter what, they can't avoid this matter. Sooner or later, Squalo will get to know it. It's better that they report to him this matter than he learned it later.

My ears will suffer later if I don't report this to him. Bel thought. As Bel and Fran were about to leave the room, Fran took noticed of Bel's swollen hand.

"Bel senpai. Did I broke your hand?" Fran questioned monotonously with hint of guilt, as they continuing walking out.

"Ushishishi...Why you ask? Regretting it now? Everything you did here?" Bel smirked, getting back to his evil sadistic selfish prince mode, deliberately teasing his little Fran. He wouldn't care if the tease were just pure evil. This time, nothing came back from Fran. Bel thought it was weird and he took a look back. Fran was biting his lips, trying to hold his emotions in.

Okay. Maybe he's still not all back to the usual Fran yet. Bel thought. I did warned him he'll regret it.

"No. Don't worry. I broke it on my own accord." Bel assured him. "Let's go. My wounds need to be treated."

And with that, Fran was relieved.

Back to Vongola Headquarter

"Ahhhh...This is so boring. There aren't any pretty ladies for me to flirt at already." Shamal complained, as he stared up at the celling in the Vongola infirmary room. "Why did Tsuna have to refuse my proposal of getting hot nurses in here. Cheh. And there are guys all over this place. I shall get myself out of this castle. For 3 or 4 hours. Shamal stood up, walking towards the exit, whistling happily, thinking up of what kind of phrases to use to hook hot ladies up.

Just another 10 more steps and I'm out of this boring place. Shamal though for a second and a chill went down his spine. He froze in his step, as he felt the presence of that one guy.

Of all the time it has to be now? God. You've got to be joking with me. This is a bad joke. And it has to be him. Can this get any worse? Shamal whined in his perverted brain.

"Didn't I mention it like thousand over times already. I, Shamal. Do not treat guys." Shamal sighed as he turned to face Mukuro. He was stunned for a second as he took in the sight of who is in front of him. There's not only one guy. But two. He was able to only sense one of them just now.

The sight wasn't pleasant at all. It looks like a scene from real horror film coming to live. Especially when Mukuro and Gokudera were bloody all over. Blood were dripping drop by drop from Gokudera. It was like a really psycho, depressing kind of horror film. Which involved a scene of a guy carrying his dead lover body with blood all over him. And the surviving guy looking all wrathful and distressing at the same time. Promising revenge on whoever did this to him and his lover. The will of his lighted purely with rage.

Shamal regained his posture and sighed once again. He really dreaded all of these. Gokudera is going to be as good as dead if these drags on. He knows it well enough. But his policy is still a policy. It's call a policy for a reason. To follow and uphold it. That's why.

"Bring him to the hospital fast. I don't treat..." Shamal was interrupted.

"Hospital just isn't good enough. Hayato is going to be as good as dead in minutes time. So you have to treat him now. Or you're going to be the one responsible for answering to the Vongola Kid on why he's dead." Mukuro stated firmly.

"I'm not going to repeat myself." Shamal replied calmly.

"I think the Vongola Tenth had already sense my presence when I got back. After all, his hyper intuition is impressive. You know how he'll act when one of his friends was hurt." Mukuro replied with his evil smirked.

Shamal sighed in defeat. "You owe me a big favor. Mukuro."

"Lay Hayato down on one of the bed." Shamal started to instruct Mukuro. As he walked over to examine Gokudera's wounds. "This is worst then I've thought." Shamal mumbled to himself.

Stupid disciple. What have you got into this time. Shamal thought.

"I'll use one of my trident mosquito to ease the pain first. Call Ryohei here. I need his sun flames regenerate ability. And also, I need someone of the same bloodtype as Hayato. He needs blood transfusion fast. I'll try to stop his bleeding at the same time. So hurry up."

Before Shamal could finished his last sentence, Mukuro was already at the phone that's on Shamal's desk calling for Tsuna. After a few beep from the phone, Mukuro slammed the phone down cursing.

"Damn." Mukuro rush out from the room and towards Tsuna's office. Why is the headquarter damn freaking huge. Mukuro quicken his paced each second. Just when he was half way towards reaching the Vongola Tenth's office, Tsuna came rushing towards him. Mukuro then saw Tsuna's facial expression. He was worried.

"Mukuro! Are you hurt?" Tsuna freaked out. "There's blood all over you." Mukuro ignored Tsuna's question and cut in.

"Where is Ryohei? Tell me now." Mukuro demanded.

Tsuna noticed the urgency in Mukuro's demand. "Nii-san is with Yamamoto on some sparring session at the training room."

"Call the both of them to the infirmary now." Mukuro added. Tsuna knew something bad had happened. Never he had saw Mukuro so worried and pissed at the same time. Tsuna quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dial for Ryohei. After a few ring, Ryohei picked up the phone.

"Nii san?" Tsuna asked while he and Mukuro are heading toward to the infirmary.

"Yo Sawada! What do you need?" Ryohei loud voice could be heard on the other side of the phone.

"Is Yamamoto with you?"

"Yea! We train to the Extreme. You need to Extremely train also, Sawada." Ryohei added.

"Great. I need you and Yamamoto to go straight to the infirmary now. It's an emergency." Tsuna demanded.

Ryouhei caught Tsuna's serious tone and looks like he was running at the same time.

"What happened? Sawada." Ryohei questioned.

"I'm not sure. I'm heading towards the infirmary now. Mukuro was covered in blood. But not his." Tsuna quickly added.

"Yamamoto! We need to hurry to the infirmary now." Ryouhei shouted towards him and gave a troubled look while he's still on the line with Tsuna.

"Sawada. We're heading towards there now." Ryohei replied.

Right now, Tsuna and Mukuro were at the door of the infirmary. Mukuro went in as Tsuna were standing at the entrance dumbfounded. Taking in the sight.

"Is Ryouhei here yet?" Shamal asked exasperatedly as his hand were moving at the same time. His sight not leaving Gokudera a second, knowing that was Mukuro entering.

"Soon." That was the only answer Mukuro gave.

"Sawada? Oi... Sawada! You there?" Ryohei shouted on the line. Yamamoto saw Ryohei was going to burst the Poor Tsuna's eardrums and took over the phone.

"Yo Tsuna. Haha. I bet your ears are bursting soon, so I took over." Came Yamamoto lighthearted voice.

"Go..kudera?" Tsuna voice was trembling. Yamamoto knew the notion and that he's not going to like this either. Tsuna sounded panic and more likely he was going to cry soon.

"Go..ku..dera." Tsuna whispered his right hand man name again. "I need the both of you to rush here as fast as possible." Tsuna commanded with his shaky voice.

"Alright!" Yamamoto replied firmly and cut off the line.

"Senpai. We need to hurry. Something had happed to Gokudera." Yamamoto stated.

"Okay." That was Ryouhei's reply as the both of them hurried towards the infirmary.

"And I don't think we're gonna like this." Yamamoto whispered softly for himself to hear.

Author's Rants!

Finally! I'm done with this chapter. I'm so glad that it's done. It took me forever to write it. Haha... I like to write the Shamal's part. He's quite easy to write I guess. His usual antics, flirting. His hormones are just too high. His 'I only treat female policy' is still there. Lol.

I do realize that my character is really OOC, and I'm trying my very best here to keep it to their own personality. It's really difficult. I swear. I knew it from the start that it's going to be OOC, haywire otherwise, as the story proceed. I apologize if I did not put up any notices of OOC-ness beforehand. People who can't take angst story, please don't read and er... flame afterwards. It's clearly stated that is angst and is rated M for a reason. Language wise and others. (If it sounded sarcastic. I apologize.)

For those reader who like this story, angst/ sadistic/ rape whatsoever that's the dark side of the human realm or this story. Thank you very much. Haha. Relax. I don't think I can make it a dark fic all the way as it proceed on. Sweet moment is still a need.
