Since I haven't gotten any ideas for an extra chapter, I'm going to postpone the extra chapter to a different time. So in other words, I'm continuing the story from where I left off.

I am not posting any chapters tomorrow because I am gng with my friends to the lake to celebrate the 4th of July. Sorry everyone. :'(

So anyway, here is chapter eleven. Enjoy!

I do not own any of Katekyo Hitman Reborn. All rights go to Akira Amano, except for the things and characters I have created.

"You," Hibari raised his tonfas.

I was leaning against the wall with my arms crossed with a smug look on my face.

"So, you've returned early, huh? What, Dino isn't fun to beat up anymore?" I teased him.

"Since you're here with them, I will bite you to death, as well," He started walking toward me.

"Really now? I don't think you'll have the chance to," I smiled at him.

"And what makes you think that?" He continued to walk toward me.

"Because, you have an angry Chupacabra over there that's about to charge you," I pointed at Levi.

"Hn?" Hibari turned his head in the direction I gestured.

"So, you're the one... Who brought down all my subordinates," Levi didn't seem too ecstatic about Hibari's actions.

"Well, they are pretty easy to take out, you know," I smiled at Levi, getting him even more wound up and flustered.

"You are one of the ring holders alied with Sawada Tsunayoshi's group?" One of the Cervello pinks asked Hibari, "If so, then this kind of behavior is..."

"Out of my way, Cervello!" Levi charged Hibari and pulled out his parabolas, "This bastard is just a common trespasser!"

"Stupid Chupacabra... Don't you ever think ahead- ... Nevermind," I taunted.

Hibari gave a side glance at Levi and sidestepped. Levi passed by him and was tripped by Hibari's foot, falling flat on his stupid face.

He raised his tonfas, "Then I'll start with you..

"Idiots..." I smirked.

"That idiot. As soon as he appears, he starts making a mess," Gokudera said as he sat on the floor being propped up by the wall.

"But he's strong after all," Tsuna was in awe of his abilities, "He sidestepped the Varia's attack so easily."

"Well, when that idiot attacks," I pointed at Levi who was still sitting on the ground, "It's pretty damn easy to dodge."

"He's so strong, though...!" Basil said in astonishment, "Just who is he?"

"That's our Cloud Guardian, Nami~ Chuu's Head Prefect of the Disciplinary Committee, Hibari Kyoya," Reborn announced his identity.

"He's also known as a pain in the ass..." I made a side-comment.

Hibari looked at me and I smiled at him.

"So, if he's the Cloud, that means he's Gola Mosca's opponent," Mammon said with such a monotonous voice as he gestured to the gigantic robot.

"What do you think, Mammon?" Squalo asked him with a malicious smile that seemed built for inducing malcontent and suffering.

"Levi is indeed one of the Varia, although he is both slow-witted and easy to break down," He said.

"Ha! That's not all he is..." I laughed.

"Putting that aside, however," Mammon continued, "His physical skills are quite strong."

"Why you-...!" Levi protested.

Suddenly, Squalo decided to have some fun and get in on the action.

"VVOOIIIIII! So how many times should I slash you open!?" He shouted in eager to kill him.

"Swallow... Seriously, can't you come up with better phrases than that? They're so cliche, it makes you seem worse than that Cluster F&$k of idiocy over there," I pointed at Levi, "And that's saying something."

"WHAT!?" Levi exclaimed.

"Ouch..." Gokudera said.

"She's so brutal..." Tsuna was scared of me... As usual.

"Now I see why you say you have a great fear of her, Sawada-Dono..." Basil realized.

"That's our Alice-chan!" Yamamoto smiled.

I smiled at the fact that I made a lasting impression on them.

"Hnn. So, are you next?" Hibari looked at Squalo and smiled. He wanted to fight him to vent out his rage.

"Please stop this. If Guardians enter into unregulated brawls outside the official scramble battle, they will be disqualified," One of the Cervello said.

"What!?" Ryohei, along with everyone else, tensed up.

"Ma~ Ma~ calm down, Hibari. I know you're angry, but-" Yamamoto tried to calm him down.

"You're in my way," Hibari swung his tonfa at Yamamoto, "Don't stand in front of me."

Yamamoto ducked around him and grabbed the end of his tonfa and halted his attack.

"That long-haired is my opponent. Please be patient a little while longer," Yamamoto smiled warily.

"Nice..." I was impressed by how greatly he has improved in his skills in fighting. Though, Hibari didn't seem to happy, and neither did Squalo.

"What's wrong Squalo? Are you thinking about what you should really do with your life and how badly it sucks?" I taunted him.

"..." He didn't answer. He must be thinking about how Yamamoto became so skilled in such a short amount of time.

"If you're going to stand in my way, I don't care who you are, I'll bite you to death," Hibari was officially pissed. He raised his tonfas, which now had spikes covering the entire rod. I think now would be a good time to step in.

"Oh crap! I made him mad...!" Yamamoto was uneasy now.

"HHIIIIII! Hibari-san! Please, wait a moment!" Tsuna pleaded.

I walked up to Hibari and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You know, Hibari, this kind of attitude of your's is a closer step leading to your downfall," I smirked.

"Out of my way," He said and swung at me.

I lost my smile and caught the tonfa with my bare left hand, (unfortunately, I took my gloves off earlier and put them in my pockets). Thick, red blood and the strong scent of iron emerged from the palm of my hand. The crimson red drained down my arm and formed droplets on the ground. I was not smiling; I was pissed.

Hibari looked at my hand and then at me. He seemed confused as to why I would injure myself so carelessly instead of ducking out of the way.

"Nera!" Ryohei called out.

"Baka~ Onna, what the hell is wrong with you!?" Gokudera was shocked at my actions.

"Humm, she gave up her hand to protect her life instead of ducking... How bold. No, more like reckless," Mammon stated.

"Aa~ Bel was right: She's either really stupid, or she's got guts..." Squalo was a little impressed that I could stand the pain surging throughout my hand, "But, you have to admit, she's pretty strong to not even flinch."

"Mm.. She must be experiencing much pain right now," Mammon agreed.

I could hear everyone's comments, but I didn't pay any attention to them. Hibari, too, was unhappy about my act.

"You just won't die, will you?" He asked.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not like other people. I don't let other people dictate my death. That's my decision. Who are you to tell me otherwise?" I laughed evilly, my dark side seemed to be returning "I'm here to stay whether you like it or not."

Hibari narrowed his eyes and swung at me with his other tonfa. I hid my eyes behind my fringe and smiled. As his tonfa came toward my head, prompting me to duck, out of his own momentum, he swung himself around. I was still holding onto his tonfa and swerved my body around behind him like how Yamamoto did, so now his back was facing me and his right arm was pitted against his back. I hooked my right arm around his neck. He couldn't move.

"My life belongs to no one," I cooed.

A few seconds after I spoke, Hibari swiped his foot behind my right leg, causing me to lose my balance a little and loosen my grip by a fraction. He took this opportunity to attack. He swung the tonfa I had in my grasp around him. The spikes were dug so far in my hand, it hooked around the skin, so I was not going to release it that easily... This resulted in me being pulled along with it. The spikes tore through my hand even more, so I was dripping blood profusely. He had us back to where we started. Except, this time, he pulled me close to him to where I was just inches away from his face. What I didn't notice was the spiky tonfa at my throat. It turns out that while I occupied myself with going into a daze, staring into his steel eyes out of being taken by surprise, he had his left arm touching the back of my neck, and his tonfa caressing the front of it. The spikes touching me. If he pressed down further, he would puncture several holes in my neck. Most likely inflicting death.

I stood there, unable to move. I guess it was my turn to be pinned.

"Please stop, now, or we will result in disqualifying you," The Cervello said.

Hibari didn't move and neither did I.

"Ciaossu, Hibari," Reborn walked up to us.

"The baby? Sorry, but I'm bust at the moment," Hibari didn't take his eyes off mine.

"Although it's fine if you let loose here," Reborn said, "You might lose an even greater chance to enjoy yourself."

"!... A greater chance...?" This seemed to get his attention.

"It's not immediately possible, but if you bear with it now and participate in the scramble battle for the rings, you might be able to fight Rokudo Mukuro again in the near-future," Reborn tried to persuade him.

"Hnn really," He smiled in deep thought, "... All of the damages to the school must be repaired."

"Yes, we will be responsible for that," One of the pinks assured.

"Is that so... Then, I've changed my mind," Hibari gazed into my eyes and slowly released me and walked off, "See you."

I stayed in the same spot and didn't move nor blink.

"Hibari-san he... Stopped fighting," Tsuna said in awe.

"From this alone, you can see the depth of the humiliation Hibari feels he suffered at Mukuro's hands," Reborn explained.

I finally brought myself back to reality, "Who's Mukuro?"

"You'll meet him eventually, don't worry."

"Hey, Reborn, is that promise you made really all right!?" Tsuna asked.

"Who knows."

"Who knows!?"

"VVVOOOOIIIIIIIII! Katana brat! Where did you learn to move like that!?" Squalo smirked, "I like it! And now this way your chances of winning have gone from zero percent to still being zero percent. The coming day will be your last. All you have to do is wash your head and wait!"

Squalo turned to me as he headed for the window, "Oi, girl! Let's go!"

I went into a daze for a bit until I heard a rather familiar voice.

"Yo."

I turned around and saw Dino and Romario.

"Dino-san!" Tsuna was shocked to see him.

"Looks like we just missed the Varia. You haven't seen Kyoya, have you?" He asked.

My surprised expression altered into a cold glare directed at Dino that was so icy and menacing, the temperature in the room decreased dramatically.

"He just came but..."

"Wha-!? When did-"

"Don't worry, he didn't cause too much trouble," Reborn reassured.

"I... I see... So he went back that quickly..."

"Went back... Where was he all this time?" Tsuna asked.

"Eh... Well. I guess you could call it a training journey."

"Training journey..."

"Aa~ he's a guy who doesn't listen to anyone. Even if you pin him down by force, he won't admit defeat. That's why I was so nervous when I heard that the school would be the arena for the scramble battle for the rings. That Kyoya, I knew he'd go berserk if he saw the school building being damaged. So, to prepare for any kind of battle simulation, the training grounds were moved away from the school. Alice-chan, here, experienced part of that," He smiled at me, "Nah~ what's wrong Alice-chan...?"

I was so furious. I thought that Dino was supposed to be my mentor, but he wasn't. He lied to me and aloud me to be taken by the Varia.

"Um.. Did anyone notice that it got cold in here...?" Tsuna said nervously.

"Yeah, but it's probably from the window letting the air in," Yamamoto said.

"I guess..."

"Hmm? Alice-chan...?" Dino was concerned.

I walked up to Dino at a rather fast pace.

"Alice...?"

I gripped his shirt in my hands and looked him in the eyes.

"Nya-!"

"You... You... LIAR!" I screamed, "WHY!?"

"Nera-san!"

"Alice!"

"Guys... It's fine... She needs to vent out her frustration..." Dino reassured them.

"Dino-san..."

"... YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY MENTOR, MY TRAINER! YOU SAID YOU WERE! I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE OF ME, THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP ME LET ALONE ACTUALLY TRAIN ME! NOW I HEAR FROM REBORN THAT THAT WAS ALL A LIE!? WHAT THE HELL!? NOW I'M STUCK WITH THE F&$KING VARIA OF ALL PEOPLE! AND I HAVE THAT DOUCHE OF AN ASS HOLE, XANXUS, CONSTANTLY WATCHING OVER ME AND ACTING LIKE I'M HIS PERSONAL... TOY! ... How could you allow this to happen...? Why...?" I hung my head down, trying hard to hold back the instabilty inside me. Trying to not let the overwhelming power corrupt my mind. I wasn't only fighting myself; I was fighting others as well, and I didn't like it. Tears started forming in my eyes. I couldn't hold back. I rested my head against Dino's chest and let the tears flow, constantly shouting 'Why?' to no one in paticular. My mind felt it was collapsing in on itself. I didn't know what to do, and for the first time in my life, I actually felt... Scared. I was scared of not only myself, but of what I might do and what other's might do to use me to their advantage. I hated it; Absolutely loathed it.

I could feel everyone's shocked gaze fall upon me. I was never the emotional one. I was the odd, menacing, ruthless and cold girl that didn't care to socialize with many people. No one knew how to react, so they all kept quiet.

Dino looked at me with sullen eyes.

"I understand... That you are upset and I'm sorry, Alice..." I could feel his arms wrap around me, "But... I didn't think that what Xanxus did would happen, so I wasn't worried at the time. And what Reborn said about me not being your trainer is only partially true. I'm not entirely YOUR trainer, I'm supposed to be Kyoya's... But, because the two of you are so much alike, I would be the only person fit enough to train you, as well... I'm sorry."

"... Reborn said that you were only there to get me a weapon and that was it... What about that, huh...?" I looked at him in the eyes.

"That was how it was at first... But, when I saw that Hibari was more intrigued in fighting whenever you were there, I had to take you in as an apprentice of sorts. That way, Hibari wouldn't get bored and run off. But, when you stopped showing up, he got bored, and came back to the school... It was necessary to have you there," Dino explained.

"What...? You.. Used me..? You... YOU USED ME!?" I shoved Dino away, "JUST TO BENEFIT THAT F&$KING COCKY, ARROGANT, CONCEITED, ASS HOLE OF A DELINQUENT!?"

"I.. Um..." Dino knew he explained it wrong, but it's too late now.

"How could you...!?" I turned my attention to Reborn and the others, "And what about you guys!? Were you all using me, too!?"

"N-Nera-san!"

"Aahh..."

"Alice..."

"Oi, Alice-chan!"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT! I HATE IT! JUST STOP!"

"Ma~ ma~ lets just take a breather and calm down," Yamamoto put his hands on my shoulders and nervously smiled.

I snapped his hands away, "NO, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I backed away from everyone and gripped my head, "NNNRRRAAGGHHH! I HATE YOU! I HATE ALL OF YOU!"

I turned and ran for the exit, tears streaming down my face.

"Oi, Alice!"

"Nera-san!"

"Hey, Nera!"

"Baka~ Onna, get back here!"

I could hear them all start to chase after me.

"Wait," Everyone stopped at the sound of Reborn's voice, "Let her go..."

"But... We can't just let her go like that... Especially with whatever ... condition she has..." Tsuna protested.

"She's very confused and at war with herself right now, so she needs to sort things out on her own," Reborn said.

"But..." Tsuna and the others watched me as I ran down the hallway away from them.

When I finally got outside, I saw Hibari walking off the school grounds. As I got closer to him, he stopped walking and turned halfway to face me. However, I did not stop running. My fringe covered my eyes, and a tear droplet flew off my face as I ran passed him. I knew Hibrai saw it because I saw his eyes narrow and I could feel him staring at me as I continued my run.

I ran in the direction where the Varia was staying. When I finally got there, I went into the large living room and went out to the balcony. I ran my fingers through my hair and slammed my fists on the stone railing, causing it to crack by the pressure and force I applied.

I looked at my right fist and analyzed the ring on my finger. It was Vongola. Tsuna and the others are Vongola. Through all this rage and confusion that built up inside me, I believed that didn't want to be part of the Vongola anymore. I didn't want to be with anyone that would use me.

I traced the ring on my hand with my fingers and then grabbed it fiercely and tried to rip it off. However, when I tried to pull it off, a loud screeching sound echoed in my ears, hurting them and my head. The ring started to glow black and white flames, but this time, they were more sinister and seemed life threatening. I was horrified. It seemed that it was acting as if it had a mind of its own and was trying to stop me. Suddenly, the flame started to encompass me. I shrank down and crouched into a ball. I was scared, I didn't know what was happening.

The flame retracted back into the ring, but it wasn't finished. I could feel it flowing through my bloodstream; into my hand, up my arm and neck, and into my head. I tried screaming, but not a single sound came out. I could feel the heat swirling around in my head. And somehow, it forced me to open my eyes. When I did, streams of black and white flames were visible exiting through my right eye. It didn't burn, nor hurt, but it sure as hell freaked the shit out of me.

The black and white flame was emitting itself from my ring and my right eye. I felt fine though. I stood up, panting. This was so unusual... I've never heard or seen anything like this before.

I calmed down quite a bit, and when I did so, the flame disappeared from the ring and from my eye. I dropped to the floor out of exaustion and looked at my ring through dim vision. I was slowly drifting off to being unconscious, out of energy, out of stability...

The last thing I saw was Squalo, Levi and Mammon rushing out onto the balcony. I could just vaguely see Squalo trying to sit me up so that I wasn't laying on the floor. I closed my eyes and suddenly felt weightless, as if someone were carrying me...

[END]

OH MY CHEEZITS, ANI PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, ALL SHALL BE GOOD. I KNOW THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING YOU, IM SORRY! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!

Alrighty then, looks like Alice hates the Vongola now and she got freaked out by her ring and her sanity seems to be slowly draining. This doesn't look good at all... This was an intense chapter.

REMINDER: I will not be writing any chapters tomorrow because I'm going to the lake with friends to celebrate the 4th of July. Sorry :'(

Anyway, let me know in a review what you think and tell me your favorite part and (or) quote. And until next time, I will see you in the next update.

POOF!
