Hey I'm back! :D I really fought with this chapter...I don't know what to say...but this chapter cost be a lot of willpower. It's a little gruesome and depressing...and I hope you won't hate me for writing it .

Please...ahm...enjoy...(or better not, it's really sad :'( )

'Tsuna' - younger twin

'Tsunayoshi' - older twin

A moment of absence...a minute...and all was lost.

I wanted to see you again, one glance...for the last time.

The weather had suddenly changed. From the warm sunlight to a blazing rain storm. Thunder was clashing through the darkened sky, dipping the world below in it's illuminating glow.

Tsunayoshi was looking out of the class window and pierced the dark clouds with a hateful glare. The teacher was babbling on and on about boring stuff, and the brunette boy was near to break out in angry screams.

'Dammit it all! Why do I have to be here, when all I want is to go home and be by my brother's side! He must be scared...he always hated thunderstorms...and I can't be there for him! I just hope that Mama will comfort Tsu-chan... .'

Tsunayoshi looked at the clock again and wished that he could just will the time to go on by faster. But he was no god, so he had to wait out the end of the lesson just like all the other students.

'There are still 27 minutes left...*sigh*...I hate to be apart from Tsu-chan. What if something happened to him..and I wasn't there with him?'

Images of a hurting Tsuna, clutching his shirt over his heart filled his mind and the older brunette instantly paled.

'N-No. Stop thinking like that. He's fine. M-Mama is still there with him. He..he's fine...'

But...was he really?

Suddenly Tsuna felt an agonizing chill run down his spine, making him shiver and tremble. He felt so cold all of a sudden, like something...was terribly...wrong.

'Sawada-san? Is everything alright?'

The teacher was looking up from his book, he had been reading aloud to his students. But Tsunayoshi didn't hear him. He was too absorbed in his own thoughts racing through his mind in rhythm with his accelerating heartbeat.

The teacher had noticed the brunette's trembling form, as well as the pallor of the other's face and grew worried. He tried again...

'Sawada-sa-'

BAAAAM!

Tsunayoshi had shot up from his seat knocking his chair over in the process. Without another word, the brunette had stormed out of the classroom, leaving all the people in the room gaping after him. The teacher was calling his name over and over, but the older twin just ran on and on, his mind hazy and a jumbled mess. His intuition was yelling at him to get home as fast as possible or something bad was going to happen...

His school was about 15 minutes away from his home. Tsunayoshi ran so fast as his logs would carry him, ignoring the searing pain in his calves. It had started raining and the boy was instantly soaking wet in mere seconds. But he didn't mind. He had only one thing on his mind and that was to go home, to get to his family, to Tsu-chan as soon as possible. Tsunayoshi made his way back in 6 minutes, His breath was coming in fast and uneven and his clothes were clinging to his body.

He currently rounded the last corner and instantly came to an immediate stop when he saw his house.

The front door of his home...was standing wide open.

Tsunayoshi ran the last few meters to his home and approached the door. He gulped and peaked inside, but couldn't see anything. The lights were turned off and because of the storm, the outside didn't offer him any more light.

His heart was beating so fast, that it actually hurt, but the brunette pushed his oncoming fear aside and silently entered his house.

'Tsu-chan? M-Mama?'

He whispered, but silence followed. He first checked the living-room and immediately fell to his knees, a hand covering his mouth.

The whole room was a mess! The interior lay in a disarray somewhere in the room, lamps, glass, everything was broken. It looked like a fight had taken place here.

Tsunayoshi didn't care anymore to be silent and quiet. His only thought was to find his little brother and his mother.

'Tsu-chan! Mama! W-Where are you!'

Tsunayoshi ran up the stairs into his and Tsuna's room, hoping to find his little brother there. But when he stormed into the room, he found nothing more than the same mess.

'Tsu-chaaaaaaaaaan! Please, where are you!'

The boy ran through the whole house, but found only broken pieces of the house's interior. The brunette began to cry out in panic. Tears were streaming down his face.

The last place left to check was the kitchen. He had little hope to find his family there, but he simply had to check.

He ran inside the disheveled kitchen...and froze.

Unlike his expectations he did find something in the kitchen, but he now wished, he had never looked inside the room.

The kitchen was stained in an awful red color. Everywhere he looked, the shelves, the broken windows, the...floor. All was dunked in red wetness.

Tsuanyoshi walked deeper inside the room, rounding the overturned table. The red fluid was swashing beneath his shoes, causing an ugly sound that would surely be forever be imprinted in his mind. He knew what the red color was, but his mind wasn't functioning at the moment. He followed the trail of blood, which grew bigger and bigger the more he walked.

Suddenly...he saw it. That what he inwardly had feared the most, was now becoming reality. He saw a body drenched in the red wetness lying inside a huge puddle of the blood. The person had his back to Tsunayoshi so the boy couldn't identify the person yet.

At the gruesome sight, he felt so sick to his stomach and he just wanted to gag and sink into oblivion. But his body moved nearer to the other body on his own.

Within seconds the boy knelt beside the lying body and turned it around with a trembling hand.

'AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!'

Tsunayoshi instantly turned side ways and gaged. Bile was rising in his throat. Tears were falling and falling from his eyes, mingling with the blood beneath his hands. His clothes too were now soaked through with the blood of the body.

Tsunayoshi turned back to the body and dared to take another look. He instantly wanted to gag again, but bit back the reflex and forced himself to look.

His eyes locked with those of his mother's empty ones. They were staring upwards...unfocused...dead.

Tsunayoshi looked down her body and cried out. Her body was totally mutilated. Her whole cropse was marred with deep cuts and tears. There were holes in her..like she had been shot.

'N-N-N-No...M-Mama...*sob*...w-what happened to you? W-What am I supposed to do n-now? I-I love you so much M-Mama. I...I'm all alone now, not even Tsu-chan is here with me*sob* I-I'm...so scared. Don't leave be alone, Please, d-don't go! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!'

With that the brunette boy broke down, cried out as loud as he could despite his sore throat for all the world to hear of his loss. He cradled the body of his dead mother into his arms and sobbed, his shoulder and body shaking.

'I-I will find him M-Mama...I promise. I will find Tsu-chan! A-And then...we will find the ones who did this to you and bring them down. I swear this M-mama...I will get revenge. I...w...il...l...*sob*.'

The brunette boy sat there for what felt like hours, just kneeling there in the now dried blood and holding the corpse of the woman who had giving birth to him. Who had given him love and comfort, a home, even her life. Who had given him...his precious brother.

Eventually his last resources were drained, he was void of tears, void of feeling anything but empty. And he finally welcomed the darkness that had pulled at his emotionally and psychically spent body and mind. He sunk to floor, his eyes closed and the cold, lifeless body of his mother pressed firmly in his grasp.

'I...love...you Mama...'

The thunder was crashing down in the distance, and the rain was falling harder and harder. It was as if the sky was crying alongside the little boy who had now lost everything he had ever loved in his life.

A figure clad in a back suit and a matching black fedora was stepping out of the shadows. He looked down on the two people embracing each other and felt a stab in his own heart.

He knelt beside the young boy and slowly removed the woman from the child's firm grasp. He laid her down a little aside and moved a hand over her face, closing here eyes for the last time.

Then he got back to the unconscious boy and lifted him up bridal-style with his strong arms. He gazed down at the boy with remorse filled eyes. A sigh escaped his lips and he closed his eyes for a second.

The brunette, even unconscious, noticed the presence of another person and got restless, squirming around.

The older man moved forward and pressed a gentle kiss to the other's forehead stilling the brunette instantly. The man took off his suit jacket and covered the boy with it, who in returned snuggled into the offered warmth of the black cloth.

And together they made their way into the thunderstorm, moving away from the house that had been a home for the boy for all of his life. But now...was nothing more than a discarded mess...a fraction of his past.
