Disclaimer: All credits to their rightful owners! :) Hi guys! I'm back from my school 5-day field trip to Chiangmai~it was AWESOME! XD and now I'm back to writing my story. I am now going to start the Kokuyo Land Arc. So enjoy and please review no matter what reason it is for. Anyways, here is the 10th chapter!

By the way, I'm assuming that you guys know the characters already so there's no need to hide the Kokuyo peoples' names. Also, Sorry that I was a day late…I was tired so yeah... :(

Note: In this chapter, there will be lots of POV changes and it hints a little bit about Akane's past to why she acts like a marionette sometimes. Most of this will be revealed in the part 2, which is the next chapter.

Chapter 10: Unknown Force & Past Part 1

Third POV

In the dark night, suspicious people were roaming around during the streets…

"W-w-who are you people?" said a member of the disciplinary committee.

"Hm…is this supposed to be that strong and invincible disciplinary committee? Even small little kindergarten kids can beat you guy byon~" said Ken.

"Ken, we need to go now." Said Chikusa.

"…Che…you're no fun, Kakipi." Growled Ken.

"A-a-answer me! Who are y-you people!" said the member of the committee while moaning from the pain.

"We have no need to tell a half-dead person like you, byon. But it wouldn't hurt to hint them about the upcoming events right, Kakipi?" Ken said while licking his lips, hungry for blood.

"…Do whatever you want. I'm going to our next target." Chikusa said and disappeared into the night.

"Che, boring glasses guy…tell you're dear people of Namimori…" Ken started. "That we have started to move…"

Akane's POV

"Hey, Akane-chan…somehow, I think you've changed a lot…" Tsuna suddenly said.

"And why do you think that?" I asked while walking together to school with Tsuna.

"Well…I mean, when we met for the first time…you seemed to be…. emotionless, cold, and ruthless." Tsuna said while fidgeting with his fingers.

"…I'm not Hibari's long distant cousin if you're wandering…." I said back, teasingly.

"What?... No, I know that! But…you just seem cold…but now…you're not." Tsuna said while staring at me. I stopped walking and thought about it for a while.

True, it seems like being with these people have messed my personality up. I was supposed to be a cold and emotionless like I normally was since that fated day until now but…is it…good? To be changed like this once again. No, I can't…if something like that were to happen again…I wouldn't be able to bare the pain again…I need to be more careful from now on around these people…

"Akane-chan? Are you there?" said Tsuna while waving his hand in front of my face.

"What? Oh yeah. I am." I answered back.

"I thought that I said something wrong…" Tsuna mumbled.

"No you didn't. Don't worry. There's no need. Let's talk about something else shall we?" I said emotionlessly while staring blankly into space.

"There's definitely something wrong with her…I need to ask Reborn about her later on…Reborn seems to know everything in this world." thought Tsuna as they continued to walk to school.

Meanwhile…

"Hey. Are you Sasagawa Ryohei?" asked Ken.

"Hm? Who are you…OH! YOU WANT TO JOIN THE BOXING CLUB TO THE EXTREME?" Ryohei suddenly screamed.

"Ha? I'll join your so called boxing club if you can beat me, but I doubt you can do that, byon~" Ken said while smiling and flashing his fangs in the process.

"Really? EXTREMELY INTERESTED! LET'S GO THEN!" yelled Ryohei as he charged at Ken.

"This might be interesting, byon~" chuckled Ken while preparing for the hit.

Back to where Tsuna and Akane were…

"Did you hear about the disciplinary people being attacked at night?" Tsuna asked me.

"Oh yeah. I have." I answered back in a monotone voice.

"Oh, well because of that my mom is paranoid! She wants me to take all these fighting classes like boxing and karate for example…sigh…" Tsuna said while scratching his head.

"Seems tough for you." I answered back.

"I know…but I can't believe that the group of unknown people would target the disciplinary people like that…maybe they have a grudge on the disciplinary people." Tsuna informed.

"That's wrong…"

Tsuna and I turned towards the direction that the voice came from. It was…Hibari-san!

"HIE! Hibari-san!" Tsuna squealed loudly.

"…Good morning." I said to him.

"…Hi, carnivore." Hibari said back while staring at me in the eyes. I stared back at his eyes…I wonder, since when did we start a staring game?

"Uh…are you guys playing the staring game?" Tsuna asked. Way to go, Tsuna. Voicing my thoughts like that. Hibari turned to Tsuna.

"No, herbivore…did I hear about the disciplinary committee in your conversation with the carnivore here?" Hibari asked or actually demanded while pointing his tonfas at me.

"…. I have a name, you know." I informed but he just ignored me.

"NONO! I wasn't bad mouthing you! Maybe her but not me!" Tsuna screamed while waving his hands like crazy to show that he was innocent.

"Hey, don't just blame this on me!" I said to Tsuna.

"…Then I will bite you to death." Hibari said while turning to me.

"…Tsuna. I hate you." I said while getting ready to receive a blow from his tonfas.

"Sorry!" Tsuna squealed while hiding behind the corners of the street. I waited for Hibari to bite me to death or actually, try to. Who knows who will win in the end…he's not moving…what happened to the I will bite you to death?

"But before I do that…I have to get rid of evil intents." Hibari said as he turned his back to me and used his tonfas to hit someone in the head who was hiding behind some bushes. That poor man fell out of the bushes, face on the ground in front of my feet.

"Ow…what the heck is wrong with you…you don't just go hitting random people for you're entertainment." Said the man.

"Doctor Shamal?!" I heard Tsuna scream from the corner. Is that his name? So he's a doctor…well that explains a lot. No wonder he was wearing a white coat.

"…I felt an evil intent. Could be my imagination." Hibari said, as he was about to put his tonfas away.

"Still but….hm….STRIKE!" Doctor Shamal said as he charged at me with his arms open and hearts on his eyes. What in the WORLD? Instinctively, I kicked him in the tummy and he flew back towards a wall.

"…Oh wait. Sorry. It was an instinct." I said as I swatted a suspiciously looking mosquito away. Good thing it didn't bite me yet. I don't like mosquito bites. They make you so itchy.

"…or maybe I didn't imagine it." Hibari added and smirked at me but decided to not use his tonfas because after all, the doctor was still on the floor clutching his tummy in front of a broken wall.

"Ow…." Doctor Shamal moaned.

"…I don't need to pay for the damages to the walls do I?" I asked Hibari a little unsure.

"…of course you do. If you don't, you owe me one more." Hibari said as he began to walk away.

"…I hate you." I said as I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Tsuna in the corner.

"Hey, Tsuna. You can come out now you know…" I told him.

"Oh…okay." Tsuna said back as he walked towards me.

Mi~dori tanabiku~Namimori no~

Who would put our school theme anthem as their phone ringtones? Tsuna and I looked around for the owner of the phone. I turned to see Hibari taking out his phone and pressing the answer back. The music stopped. I sweatdropped…lame music. I watched as Hibari talked to somebody on the phone. Then, he turned off his phone and turned to look at us.

"Isn't Sasagawa Ryohei your friend? They got him." Hibari informed.

"HUH? THEY GOT ONIISAN? THAT INVINCIBLE BOXING GOT BEATEN?" Tsuna exclaimed with his mouth wide open.

"…That probably means that the enemy is pretty good. Should we pay him a visit, Tsuna?" I asked Tsuna.

"OR COURSE WE DO! What will Kyoko-chan say when she sees that her brother is in the hospital…oh…" Tsuna said to me as he ran towards the hospital…or maybe not.

"Tsuna, I think you're going the wrong way." I said as I pointed in the correct direction.

"…Oops. Sorry." Tsuna said as he ran towards the right direction. I jogged after him.

"…Tsukiyomi Akane…see you again soon." Hibari said. I stopped in my tracks and turned back to see that Hibari had already disappeared. I hope that he won't be fighting against those bad guys alone…but wait. Since when did I get worried for his sake? For all I know, he's a fighting maniac. I hesitated to follow him. I had a worried look on my face but I shook it away and slapped my face with both hands once to clear my thought.

"…Be careful." I whispered and then I ran after Tsuna. Unfortunately, I didn't see that Hibari was actually watching me from the roof of a random house and that he heard me say that. He smirked and went on his way.

I ran after Tsuna to the hospital. Once I reached there, I saw Tsuna looking over at Ryohei with a worried look on his face.

"Are you okay, Oniisan?" Tsuna asked worried.

"Other than a few broken bones, not really." Ryohei answered back while smiling.

"But still, broken bones are pretty serious injuries." Tsuna said to Ryohei.

"Who cares about that? All I care now is that….I WANT THAT GUY IN MY BOXING CLUB TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei screamed while clutching his fists tightly. I gaped and sweat dropped at this scene. I mean seriously…thinking about boxing when you have broken bones to worry about more. This is guy is officially a boxing maniac. I just noticed that there are lots of maniacs in our family. We have a baseball maniac, boxing maniac, fighting maniac, and a dynamite maniac.

"Anyways, I really haven't told Kyoko about this yet so keep it a secret from her please." Ryohei explained to us.

"…Sure." I told him. At that moment, Kyoko just happened to barge in through the door.

"Oniisan! Why did you climb a bath house's chimney?" Kyoko said while taking hold of her brother's hands. My mouth hang open and I glanced at Tsuna. Tsuna's face was pale and blue in disbelief. I mean…who would believe a story like that?

"Is this really a sprain? Why do you have bandages all over your body! And do they make you stay in the hospital for having a sprain?" Kyoko said quickly all at once with a worried look.

"It is a really bad sprain." Ryohei answered back.

"But I'm so glad…that you're okay…" Kyoko said while wiping away her tears.

…Well maybe Kyoko would believe a story like that. I mean she trusts her brother a lot.

"I think we should take our leave now." I whispered to Tsuna.

"Right." Tsuna whispered back to me.

"Well, we need to get going now. I hope you get better soon!" I said while waving goodbye and pushing Tsuna out of the door.

Once we were out, Tsuna started to panic.

"Why did oniisan get attacked? Isn't it only people in the disciplinary committee that get attacked? WHY!" Tsuna screamed while shaking his head furiously.

"Calm down, Tsuna." I said to him.

"Akane is right. You're not the only person who is panicking." Reborn said to Tsuna while kicking him in the face once.

"What do you mean…" Tsuna said as he looked around the hospital.

"This place is full of Namimori students…" I explained to him.

"What?!" Tsuna screamed as he looked around the corner to see about 30 Namimori students.

"There must have been many other victims…" I said to Tsuna emotionlessly.

"Do you not care? How come you're so emotionless." Tsuna asked while pouting a little bit.

"…I want to but somehow my inner-self just disagrees with that…I am a marionette who has no feelings…that was my nickname." I said to Tsuna.

"But I think you showed plenty of emotions the last time in the snowball fight and on the death mountain…" Tsuna said.

"…I blurted those out accidentally." I told him.

"So that means that you actually care! I think you should try to show you're true self more. You are actually the girl that we saw in the death mountain and in the snowball fight, right? The cheerful girl!" Tsuna said while smiling at me with a little bit of hope.

"…Tsuna…. I...I can't." I said to Tsuna looking a little bit sad. Tsuna frowned once he noticed my sad look.

"…Why?" Tsuna asked.

"…Never mind about me…but I think you should be worrying about Hibari more." I said trying to change the topic.

"What? Why Hibari-san…" Tsuna asked. I was about to answer him when some random Namimori student came up to Tsuna.

"Hibari-san was going to put a stop to all this." Said the random guy.

"Really? Akane-chan! You don't need to worry about Hibari-san! He will be fine!" Tsuna said while cheering with the random guy. I knew that Hibari was strong but…I couldn't stop worrying. I know I'm not supposed to have any emotions for anything but still...I hate to see people getting killed or hurt.

"…Hibari…I hope he won't do anything reckless…" I mumbled to myself.

Too bad Reborn heard me say that but I didn't know. Reborn smiled to himself but it quickly returned to a frown once he thought about Hibari.

"…There shouldn't be any Sakura in this season…" Reborn thought to himself.

At the Same Time…

"He's too strong!" moaned someone while clutching their wound.

"That happened because you were flocking together like a crowd." Hibari said and walked into Kokuyo Land.

"Kufufu….so we meet at last, Hibari Kyoya…" Rokudo Mukuro said. Hibari turned to face a man sitting on an old couch.

"Hn…I've been trying to find you for a while…I will bite you to death while you are sitting down if that is your wish." Hibari said as he took out his tonfas and activated the spikes in it.

"Kufufu…you certainly are funny…" Mukuro laughed.

"…I'm not talking to you anymore." Hibari said as he got into his fighting stance.

"If you don't speak now, you may never speak again." Mukuro said as he smiled evilly.

"What are you talking about?" Hibari said as he felt a little bit of pain in his head.

"Kufufu…you don't look very well." Mukuro asked.

"Shut up." Hibari said as he started to sweat and sway a little bit.

"Kufufu~it seems that you don't know who you picked a fight with earlier this morning…" Mukuro said as he started to stand up.

"Who would that be." Hibari demanded.

"…kufufu~have you heard of Trident Shamal? I didn't know that he was here in Japan…Do you know what kind of weapon he uses? Kufufu…he uses mosquitoes which have been filled with various kinds of untreatable diseases which he uses to kill." Mukuro explained while smirking at Hibari.

Hibari froze. He remembered about the man in the white coat this morning. He felt like a mosquito did bite him before…

"Kufufu…that man infected you with the Sakura disease…it means that whenever you see sakura, you will lose all you're strength…which is why I have prepared these for you." Mukuro said as he used his illusions to create several beautiful sakura trees. The petals slowly fell down in the light breeze. Hibari started to sway uncontrollably.

"…hn…" Hibari said as he kneeled down on the floor to take a few breaths.

"Kufufu…before you actually faint I will tell you a good piece of information…" Mukuro said as he stood in front of Hibari. Hibari looked up into and glared at Mukuro's eyes. They were a different color. One was blue and one was red.

"We are trying to find a certain someone from the mafia world. He is the soon to be boss of the Vongola family. Vongola Decimo. We still don't know who he is so we are attacking the students in Namimori according to the list." Mukuro explained as he took out his list to read it to himself. He crossed of Hibari's name off the list which was at the number 1 spot.

"…so what. I could care less about what you want. I will bite you to death." Hibari said as he tried to stand up again. He failed to.

"Kufufu…you will faint earlier if you try to reject it…I have already sent a fighter after the third person. The second one will come next…and for the other first…I will personally take care of." Mukuro laughed evilly. Hibari raised one of his eyebrows once he heard about the other first. He tried to stand up again but he fell down again.

"You must be wandering…about the other first. Kufufu…no surprise. You must have thought always that you were the number 1. But that isn't all true. You are the number 1 on this list I give you that…but you aren't the only one. There are two people at the number 1 on this list." Mukuro explained.

"…there is no one at my fighting ability." Hibari said to him while using his tonfas to steady himself on one knee.

"Oh yes there is…I will personally take care of that person, because she does deserves some respect." Mukuro said as he laughed evilly.

"She?" Hibari thought.

"Kufufu…you must be wandering why I said she…well that is because the first person on this list is…this person." Mukuro said as he showed Hibari the list. Hibari's eyes widened at the name that was next to his in the first spot. The name that was written there was…Tsukiyomi Akane.

"Kufufu…now is the time that you fall into a deep slumber…Hibari Kyoya." Mukuro said as he kicked Hibari once in the stomach. Hibari jerked back and hit the wall. He lost consciousness at that point.

"Kufufu…and now the king has fallen…Tsukiyomi Akane…you will my next target…you will become a wonderful…marionette of mine." Mukuro said as he laughed and disappeared into the darkness.
