Dino walked to the room as he thought what Chrome told him.

"They're family that Hibari had tried to clear off, but there's still survivors."

That made him felt weird already.

Plus the coding,

It made him more and more uneasy.

-x-

"They're family that Hibari had tried to clear off, but there's still survivors."

The coding...

Suspicious.

"Dino-san... Dino-san!"

Tsuna sighed, what was Dino thinking?

"Dino-san...!"

Finally, he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Y-Yea?"

"... Are you alright?"

Dino shook his head.

The coding.

Date... Today.

Time... 5 minutes later.

Name... Hibari Kyoya.

Address...

So there was where Hibari was staying.

"T-Tsuna! I've something to solve, and so, I'll see you later!"

Dino packed his stuff and ran out of the room.

-x-

Hibari pressed onto his wound, he had been shot.

One at his right arm, another on his left leg, and two on his stomach.

He cursed whoever hid and shot him badly.

Pulling the towel, there was only one.

He tied it around his right thigh, and sighed.

The white towel almost became red so quickly.

Hibari leaned back onto the wall and thought,

70 people were out there.

Die or whatsoever,

So be it.

He ran out of the toilet.

-x-

The living room, people collapsed there.

He saw someone flying towards him, and he dodged it.

He saw who attacked the person.

"Ky-Kyoya! You're alright...!"

Dino.

Suddenly Dino pushed him, and he heard a gunshot.

He was pulled up the stairs before he could even react to who got shot.

"Dino, wait!"

"Kyoya... You're bleeding profusely!"

-x-

They ran into the room,

Hibari stood there, and saw how Dino locked the door, pushed the table onto the door, and threw the chair on it.

"Dino,"

He continued doing with his stuff.

"Dino!"

He turned, "Uh?"

"We don't have to hide."

"Your safety first, Kyoya." Dino pulled Hibari.

Hibari sighed, and the next thing he knew was,

They were inside a closet.

"What?"

Dino's hands held onto the door tightly, and he sighed.

"Just stay like this, it can stall some time."

Hibari looked at Dino, he was bleeding.

"... You got shot,"

"It's just one," Dino saw Hibari moving, and he quickly stopped it.

"Ky-Kyoya! Don't move! You're bleeding a lot! Re-"

"Shut up,"

Hibari sighed as he took his jacket and pressed on Dino's wound to stop the bleeding.

"Cover your own wounds! You'll die from the blood loss!"

"It's alright-"

"It's not alright! I said I'll protect you, right?"

Hibari pressed on it harder,

"O-Ow!"

"I said it's alright."

"If you die, I'll follow you." Dino grumbled weakly.

Hibari sighed, "Dying together? I'm not impressed."

"Kyoya, hang on-"

Hibari suddenly leaned onto Dino,

"It's alright..."

Dino felt tears at his eyes when he noticed Hibari got weaker.

He was panicking.

"Kyoya, I want to hear you telling me, I'm still here, when we get out of this. Alright?"

Hibari thought that was stupid, "I don't think so."

"Kyoya, care for yourself, I'm alright with it. It's just a bloody shot!"

"It might cause your death," Hibari stared at him.

Dino let go of the doors and hugged Hibari, making his back facing the door.

"Stupid-"

"It's alright, I promised to protect you."

"But you might-"

"You're the one that might just leave me! I don't want it. Now just rest..."

Dino was serious.

Hibari felt pain when he moved, just a little.

He couldn't move.

"Cavallone,"

"Shh... Don't talk, rest."

"I don't care if this insulting or what, you can't decide."

Dino opened his eyes, what?

Hibari didn't care for the pain, he thought it might be the last time.

Leaning up, he cupped Dino's cheeks and kissed him softly.

They heard the door being slammed open,

Perhaps it was the end?

"I'm tired..." Hibari released his grip on Dino, and fell back.

"Ky-Kyoya..." Dino felt his vision going black.

The door to the closet was opened,

And they found two unconscious persons.

-x-

Opening his eyes, he sat up.

"B-Boss!"

Dino looked at the surrounding, he was at the hospital.

'… So I survived...'

"It was lucky that the amount of blood loss wasn't too much!"

Dino took the cup of water, and drank it.

"Hibari's in the next room right?"

"Ky-Kyoya!"

The cup slipped and Dino got down the bed.

"B-Boss! Rest!"

Dino struggled out of the ward, and leaned onto the wall as he tried to get to the ward of Hibari.

-x-

"M-Mukuro! How's Kyoya?"

Staring at Dino,

"Dead."

He widened his eyes.

"W-What?"

Dino hurried to the bed, and he saw the body was covered with a white sheet.

Chrome went into the ward, and looked at Mukuro.

"Kyoya... I told you to care for yourself! You didn't listen. You didn't..."

Dino felt his face being wet, but he didn't care.

Turning to Mukuro,

"It's a sick joke right?"

Mukuro looked at him.

Dino could feel his hopes being crushed.

"Kyoya... I failed. I failed to protect you."

Chrome walked to Mukuro and sighed.

"Dino-san, get some rest first..."

"He's gone."

Dino mumbled as he slid down.

He covered his face with his hands, and sighed.

Just what happened.

He failed.

-x-

Why did he just hear someone crying?

It was making a lot of noise.

"Kyoya... I told you to care for yourself! You didn't listen. You didn't..."

Somebody was calling him,

What?

Who?

"It's a sick joke right?"

What... Joke?

He couldn't get it.

"Kyoya... I failed. I failed to protect you."

Was he dead?

Now it's really a sick joke.

"Dino-san, get some rest first..."

"He's gone."

He clenched his fists tightly,

It was Dino.

Gathering all his remaining strength, he sat up.

-x-

"Hibari! Dino-san! Bo-Both of them!"

Chrome turned to look at Mukuro.

"... Take them back, quick."

-x-

Hibari opened his eyes, and saw someone sitting beside the bed,

"... Dino?"

He looked up.

"... Ghost?"

Mukuro turned to look at the window,

"M-Mukuro-sama, I told you it was a mean joke..."

The illusionist shrugged and left the room.

"Aye... Sorry." Chrome bowed slightly before following Mukuro.

"So you thought hell, I was dead?" Hibari stared at Dino and felt some sharp pain at his stomach.

"Ky-Kyoya! You're not dead?" Dino hurried up to sit beside him, and lifted his chin.

"What?"

Dino looked at Hibari's eyes.

"You still have a chin! You're not dead!"

"How's that related."

Suddenly Dino pulled him into a light hug.

"You gave me a fright... Next time don't do this!"

Hibari sighed,

"I didn't succeed in dying."

"Ky-Kyoya!"

Hibari elbowed Dino weakly, "Get lost."

Dino just lifted Hibari's hand, and helped him to wear the ring.

"... You found the ring?"

"From now on, I'm not going to let anyone to take you away. And you're not to leave me. UNDERSTAND?"

Hibari sighed at the Cavallone's silliness.

"Oh... Wait! I'll go and take a cup of water for you."

As Dino left the bed, Hibari looked at the ring.

"I'm still here."

Dino turned,

He still remembered.

He was happy that Hibari remembered those things he had said.

"Kyoya..."

He ran, and hugged Hibari.

"I'm still here, too."
