Ciao~ New chapter here... but it's an extra! ABOUT XANXUS!... so please read and review...


Extra~ Xanxus' Story~

This sounds absolutely cliché but the first time I met Sky was at midnight. Dad – I mean… Nono – brought her in around that time. She was drenched with rain, soaked from head to toe. Nono asked me to bring a towel for her and I did. I wanted to get a closer look at her. Snow white hair and deep amethyst eyes… I honestly couldn't stop staring at her. Not when she glared at me, not even when Nono asked me to leave the room. Instead, he took her away to another room to talk.


I went to bed since I figured that she would be there when I awoke. When the manor was in an uproar at 5 in the morning… I knew it had to be her. She did something… Well it wasn't necessarily something she did but still…it was about her.

I walked towards the room where everything was so noisy… then suddenly it was quiet until she spoke…

"Shut up Coyote Nougat or I might reconsider your future…"

I was more or less surprised… no one had ever talked to a Vongola Guardian in that tone of voice. Before I knew it, the door opened and there she was. Standing tall and proud, the light enveloped her… giving her the image and aura of an angel. And no… I was not being sweet… she honestly looked like an angel with her hair and all – knowing eyes.

"Move" she said and glared at me, I actually stepped to the side to let her pass before I realized… I should have asked her for her name…

Nono coughed from the room and the girl stopped in her path.

"Come back in…" Nono didn't shout but his words resonated in the room. The girl shifted her body slightly so that her right eye was glaring at Nono.

"You are not the boss of me" she snarled.

"That… I am not. However, this is my home and I implore you to abide by my rules" Nono replied, chuckling slightly but when his eyes opened… there was not a slightest amount of warmth in there. She stood in the hallway for a second longer, acting defiant… she trot back into the room and leaned herself onto the couch. Her posture was outright stiff and she looked… like a dignified woman.

"Come here, Xanxus" Nono called out to me. I walked over to him and Nono put his hand onto my shoulder and introduced us, "This is Xanxus, my son… and Xanxus… this is Sky. Your new family member…"

"Nice to meet you…" I said, as politely as I could since she looked like she could just bite my head off… I shivered, imagining just what could happen.

Sky only nodded. I had only been a part of my fathe-, no… Nono's, family for six months… I never tried to get to know anyone, but from the moment I saw Sky sitting there… no it was from when she came in through the door… I knew. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on her… she would always be a part of my heart, my sky…

When I realized she was glaring at me when I kept staring at her, I looked away. Coyote, Nono's storm guardian, coughed and Sky blinked several times before muttering a small "hello" to me. This sounds stupid… but my heart fluttered when she did… I hadn't wanted to be her family… I wanted to be more


"Oi Xanxus! You idiot, don't sleep on the couch!" Sky scolded at me, I could hear her scolding me, even in my dreams… I chuckled silently, Sky was always scolding him… always…. But he never listened… never cared…

Though, I should have just told her how I felt when I had the chance…

Now… not only do I not have the chance… but our relationship can never be the same… She cares more for that scummy boy… then for the years we spent together.

Making himself forget troublesome thoughts… he thought back to the dreams of his past… to the more enjoyable years he spent with her…


"Come on, Xanxus… faster!" Sky whispered while pushing him from behind. Sky and Xanxus had just snuck into the vent above the Vongola Conference Room and listened in on the meeting… well, Xanxus listened in, Sky was only there because that was her happy place.

"Dammit Xanxus! If you hadn't farted then we wouldn't have needed to run," Sky scolded him, continuously pushing him from behind… trying to get him to move faster. When Xanxus suddenly stopped, Sky wanted to yell at him but he clasped his hand around her mouth and pushed her against the wall. Sky screamed at him but since his hand was over her mouth, her scream came out as muffled.

"SHHH~" Xanxus shushed her.

"Why?" Sky asked but it came out as, "MHBY?"

Xanxus shushed her again and this time… before she could slap his hand away, there was a creek and light poured into the vent.

"Sky? Are you there?"Called a voice.

"You idiot! She's not going to answer…" shouted another voice, Sky's eyes narrowed into slits as she contemplated whether sliding out and greeting his face with a well deserved face plant was a good idea or not…

"She might not be here, though…" said the first voice.

"NOT HERE? Did you hear the sound of that fart…. Someone was definitely there" said the second voice.

"Exactly… Sky never farts in public like that!"

"How would you know?" the second voice scowled.

"Because… she never did"

"Where is she then?"

"I don't know"

"Xanxus is gone too…"

"Do you think…?"

"No it can't be…"

"They wouldn't…"

"Would they…?"

Oh… just shut up with your rambling and move on so we can get out of here! Sky screamed mentally. Sky wished harder and harder until the two had actually moved on. Yes! VICTORY!

"Come on… they're gone" Xanxus said, pulling Sky along. All he could feel was… happiness. Happy that he could have spent time with Sky, happy that she was so close to him… happy that she can't see in the dark since he was blushing like crazy.

When Sky's arm grew limp in his hand, he turned around in alarm and found that he had been dragging her on the floor for the past 30 seconds, "Hey… are you okay?"

"No"

"Why?"

"I thought too much" Sky said, still slumped on the floor. Xanxus turned her over and literally saw swirls where her purple irises should have been.

"Wow…" Xanxus chuckled and pulled her arms over his shoulders and carried her all the way to her room. Sky's constant breathing and occasional mutterings made him realize just how much he was aware of her…. She had been a part of the family for six months already… but he knew nothing about her.

Nothing about how she was before… her family. She never mentioned anything pertaining to her nor did I bother to ask her. She was here… she was my now…


"It's so boring!" I complained to Sky. She sat on the seat next to me… actually draped was more like it…

"Shush… it gets warmer when you talk" Sky shushed him and fanned herself. Her torso was strewn across the seat and her legs dangled from the armrest. It was unusual for Sky to wear anything but black so when she came into the game room wearing a long gray cashmere sweater dress with black leggings and knee-high boots… I couldn't help but stare at the way her dress was snuggled against her body. Sky was also had a black fedora resting on her head… but I was too busy to notice it.

When she caught me staring, she scowled and fell onto the couch… groaning about the abundance of color in her outfit. She lifted the fedora from her head and angled it on her face. Minutes later she was asleep and I was watching her sleep. Yes… I was in total creeper lode but I couldn't help it. She was quite the eye candy…

"Sky?" Nono called out when he walked into the room. I answered and waved him over. Nono came closer and asked me to give him a minute with Sky.

"It doesn't matter… he'll find out someday anyway…" Sky murmured, and yawned, "What time is it?"

"30 minutes since you fell asleep" I answered since I was the one who stared at her sleeping.

"Really?" Sky said, bewildered, "Thought it was longer…" Sky stretched and the hem of her dress inched higher, I caught myself staring again and immediately looked away.

"Well then… I'll get to the point…" Nono said, bluntly, "Who are you?"

"What do you mean?" Sky asked, her back stiffened and she sat up straighter.

"How long ago were you born?" Nono asked again.

"Same age as me…" Xanxus scoffed all the while Sky said…

"350 years ago"

Xanxus deadpanned but Nono nodded like that was the answer he expected.

"How can you be so old!" Xanxus exclaimed.

"I'm only semi-human…" Sky replied blatantly and then turned to Nono, "Who told you?"

"No… your stories about being your mother's illegitimate child weren't that believable…" Nono said.

"Oh ho…Hn…" Sky muttered.

"You see… you use that story every time you come back to the Vongola…" Nono told her. She nodded but that cold look in her eyes stayed there…

She was only semi-human…?


"SKY!" I shouted, running as fast as I could, whipping past trees. I reached my hand out to her and glanced at her face soaked in the rain. Disbelief wrecked itself in every nook and cranny of her body when she held up her hand as if to tell me to stop. Like I would…!

BAN BAM BAN

There were three loud popping noises and pain exploded in my right shoulder, my left calf and right in the middle of my abdomen. My vision was clouded by hazy red clouds and I heard Sky scream my name several times. If I had the strength to smile…I would, Sky called my name… several times even. I was happy… I could protect her, what rained on my state of bliss was that anguish tone in her voice.

I could hear her yelling, screaming over and over again. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't happy when she was angry for me. I didn't want to see that look on her face anymore… so I started to hum.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed

The way that you smile at the ground

It ain't hard to tell…

You don't know (oh oh)

You don't know you're beautiful…

I'm guessing she heard me since she turned and gave me a quirky smile, not her best… but it was good enough, "I thought you hated that song"

"I'm finding it more and more useful…" I croaked, and started to laugh. Moving my abdomen caused massive amounts of blood to back up into my lungs. I launched into a chain of hacking and coughing, blood poured out of my wounds… and my mouth. I was choking. I was dying. I'm going to die…

"No you won't" Sky whispered into my ear, "You're not going to die. Just relax and let me take care of things…" and I did as she said… I relaxed.

"Shiro… cleanse all that is impure here…" A cool sensation covered my wounds and the burning pain inside of my subsided and my mind cleared. I could think much more clearly then before… I could see better, too. I shifted my head towards Sky, dirt and tears stained across her face.

"Don't move" Sky brought her hands up and they were covered in blood. My muscles tightened when I thought that I didn't make it in time to protect her, when I realized… it wasn't hers… the blood everywhere wasn't hers…

It wasn't hers…

She isn't hurt…

My body began to relax and when I calmed down, the world turned black and the last thing I heard was…

"Sonoko… cover and heal…" There was an orange glow and then it all faded to black…


"You idiot!" Sky screamed at me when I tried to grab her wrist to stop her from leaving.

"Can't you at least tell me why you're mad?"I screamed back. I was leaning towards my limit and the female mind is something I can never comprehend…

"Why I'm mad? WHY I'M MAD?" Sky's voice took to another octave higher, I had to actually remind myself not to flinch, "I'm mad…" Sky hissed, "I'm mad because you almost died, taking some measly bullets for me!"

"Of course I would!" I screamed back at her, I mean come on… I took a bullet (make that three) for her and all she does is complain that I DID?

"WHY?" Sky shouted, throwing her hands up in the air in frustration.

"You're family! What else?"

"I don't need your help" Sky hissed.

"Well I don't care if you want my help or not!" I huffed, crossing my arms.

"Then you should!" Sky snapped and spun on her heel and started to walk out.

I reached out and caught her wrist and pulled her towards me, "No matter how strong you are… you're still family" I thought for a moment and added, "And you're still… a girl" I hesitated but I knew it had to be said.

"So what if I'm a girl! I had more in common with the enemy. We were the same, and I… I… I didn't care if you took those for me or not…" Sky stared at the ground and her voice quavered, "Even if those hit me… I would have only taken a few hours to heal…" Sky reached over and gently touched my right shoulder, "It took you a month…" Her voice died down to a whisper and she ran out.

How would she have healed so quickly?

I'm only semi-human…

Semi-human… does that bring out healing qualities inside one's self…?

more in common with the enemy… We were the same…

She was the same as that baby? How?

I stood at the door… just scratching my head at what she had just said. Jeez… why does she have so many secrets? I have a question, get an answer and based on the answer… I get ten more questions…

I wish she would open up to me…


I wish she would open up to me…

It's what I've always thought… what I've always wanted… and now she's gone. Only a trace of what we used to have is still here… keeping me warm and sane at night…

I wish she was here…

"Xanxus…" crooned a voice behind me, "I thought you went to sleep hours ago…"

I turned around and there she was… in a brilliant white gown that glowed… even in the dark. Her gown glowed with her… it glowed for her.

"What is it?" Sky raised an eyebrow at me and took a few steps back. I had to control that deep side inside of me that just wanted to cry when I remembered that our relationship isn't at all as it used to be…

"Nothing…" I answered, going for the safe reply.

"Liar"

So much for the safe reply…

"Just thinking…"

"About…" Sky asked, trying to pry a deatailed explanation from me.

"The past"

"more specifically…?" Sky moved her hand in circles trying to get me to say more…

… I have to say… I worked, "When we first met…"

"Oh…" Now she quiets down and sat down beside me. 5 minutes later, Sky got up and mumbled something about going back to sleep and that I should actually go to sleep in my room. When I heard the door creaked open… but not closed, something close to hope blossomed…

"I'm sorry" Sky was whispering but I heard every word…

For what? I wondered. For leaving, for hurting me, for fighting against me… for what? I sat and stared out the window. A ball of light flew across the sky and I closed my eyes and wished…

Give her back to me…

Silent tears crept down my cheeks and splashed against the floor. I felt my whole body shiver when I thought of what could have been… but it was gone now.

Gone…


~Guess Who~

I opened the door and whispered an apology, knowing Xanxus could hear my words. I bent my head and stared at the ground, I was about to run out when I heard the unmistakable sound of a sob. I turned around slowly so I wouldn't alert him of my presence. Watching Xanxus' body shake and sob almost silently.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'm really sorry, Xanxus…

I turned and exited the room. It wasn't until I was sure Xanxus couldn't hear me… and I couldn't hear him that I broke into a run. I hurt a friend… my friend.

I really should have died all those years ago…
