"BOLD" - When words are bold, in quotes (in most cases), and aligned left, that means that the characters are speaking in English. You'll understand later in this Chapter.
This - Is when people are communicating via mind. [Basically italic and bold mean this.]
"..." - This is for documents, remembering other character's words when not in a flashback, on phone talks or earphone, notes, texts, and letters.
Kim's POV-
Can life be anymore perfect? Here I am, same place I was back when I was fourteen. How long ago was it? Ten years? I believe so. Though everything seems the same, it isn't.
"Hime-san. Everyone's awaiting your arrival," a female's voice said as knocking was heard on my door.
"Right!," I yelled, closing the picture album I was looking at before my mind wandered off. I straightened out the yellow and orange summer dress I was wearing and opened the door. The woman who reminded me to meet up with the others was gone. Nothing new there. I walked down the hallway, making turns occasionally and going down stairs. It's amazing how I know my way around; this place was like a maze. I made it to the main floor and headed out to where the garden would be. I opened the doors and picked up my pace towards a group of noisy people who were sitting at chairs and tables with umbrellas allowing shade from the sun's rays. I searched the crowd, searching for one person in particular.
"Kimmy-chan!"
I stepped aside as someone sped over where I was just standing.
Where is he?
As I walked closer, all the noise turned into calls of my name. Is it strange that I didn't know most of the people here. I wonder why? Shouldn't I have known everyone here?
"Glad you finally made it," I grinned up at Takeshi who ruffled my hair as my eyes met with him. No, not Takeshi. It was-
"He's been waiting for you, you know," I turned my head over to Madison who was whispering in my ear.
"R-Really?," I turned back as my eyes made contact with him. I blushed.
Is he blushing too?...I wonder.
DOKI. DOKI. DOKI. DOKI.
I put my hands over my beating heart.
"You better hurry," Madison said, giving me a push forward along with Takeshi. "Take-kun, get rid of GoGo-kun."
"Hai, hai," Takeshi said, walking on ahead of me. "Yo! Gokudera!"
"Don't call me like we're friends!," Gokudera shouted at Takeshi, his attention off of my target.
Takeshi led Gokudera away as one of my most favorite people in the world spoke to me, "Afternoon Ki-"
I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled our bodies together, catching him by surprise. I missed him. I haven't seen him all day. He wasn't at breakfast. I felt his hands on the small of my back.
I smiled, "Where have you been all day...Tsu-kun? Work again?"
I felt Tsuna's body twitch.
Is he hiding something?
"Y-Yeah. I-I had to finish my paperwork before this afternoon," he said nervously.
"Are you okay?," I asked loosening our hug so that I could look at him in the eyes.
He nodded quickly and led me to the table he was going to be sitting at. He pulled my chair out for me, like a gentleman.
"Thank you," I smiled.
I'll find out what he's hiding later.
Tsuna sat across from me. Only the two of us sat at this table. I could see Gokudera in the table right behind Tsuna.
He just can't be far away from Tsu-kun.
Tea was served along with strawberries, pastries, and crackers and dip.
I bit my thumb, talking to myself, "What pastry should I eat first?..."
Tsuna laughed, eating an eclair. I smirked, having a good idea on what I wanted to eat first. I pretended to still be indecisive as Tsuna ate his eclair. I was waiting for the right moment to prey upon my treat.
"Still haven't decided on something?," Tsuna asked me.
"No, I think I know what I want," I smiled.
Tsuna looked confused with his eclair just hanging out in his mouth, his hand occupied with a tea cup. I fixed my hair over my shoulder as I leaned forward; one hand holding my hair back from touching the food on the table, and the other on Tsuna's shoulder, helping my balance. I put my mouth over the end of his eclair, gazing into his eyes as his cheeks flushed. I ate the eclair, trying to get to my prize at the end. Tsuna wasn't moving. He was weak in the presence of me. There was only around two centimeters left of the eclair. I backed my mouth away to swallow; letting go of my hair, I slowly pushed the remainder of that tasty pastry into Tsuna's mouth. I heard Tsuna swallow and I giggled when I caught that melodious sound of a gasp.
I leaned my head back in, my lips brushing against my lover's. I softly kissed him; three times before I licked his bottom lip. It tasted like frosting and cream. I backed up, back into my seat, wiping my mouth with a napkin, blushing.
"Thank you for the food," I said, winking at Tsuna, who was still caught up in shock.
"T-There's p-people a-around K-K-Kimmy-chan," Tsuna whispered so that only I could hear. I chuckled quietly.
"I know. Sorry. It's hard to believe Vongola Decimo is so shy about PDA. You're still the Tsuna from ten years ago despite how you've grown," I said to him, amused.
"Y-Yeah... Umm... Kimmy-chan..."
"Yes?"
"We've been together for a long time...you know."
I nodded, "Not long enough."
He laughed sheepishly, "I've just been thinking..."
"Did Reborn help you think?"
Tsuna laughed nervously.
I guess that's a yes.
"Continue," I said, eating a strawberry.
"We're had good times and bad times and-"
"Just get it over with," Reborn said, somehow on Tsuna's head.
Tsuna sucked in breath.
I wonder what's happening...this is weird...more so than usual...
I looked around, noticing that everyone was watching. Tsuna got out of his chair and took my hand, staring at me with true resolve in his eyes. Reborn was on the table.
"Kimberly Fuko. Will you make more precious memories with me?," Tsuna said.
What?
"We make memories everyday, Tsu-kun."
"Well these memories would be special because they would include the two of us being together more and living together."
"Don't we do that now? Heck, most of the people here live here."
"She doesn't get it," I heard Tsuna whimper to himself.
I felt something hit my head. I looked up to see Lucas' fist.
"You stupid girl," Lucas scolded. "Can't you see he wants to marry you?"
"What?!," I yelled.
"You know! Tie the knot! Have honeymoon. Have sex!"
S-S-Sex?!
DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.DOKI.
"A-Are you really asking me to marry you Tsu-kun?," I asked Tsuna who looked conflicted and shocked that I had no idea. I was surprised at myself. I guess I was too preoccupied to analyze the situation better.
Tsuna got down on one knee and took out a black box that contained a three carat diamond ring with pale blue and orange sapphires along the sides of the metal.
"Will you marry me?.. Please say yes!," Tsuna shut his eyes tightly closed as everyone laughed at his sudden nervousness.
Does he think I'll say no?
"OF COURSE!," I tackled Tsuna to the ground, snuggling my face into his chest. "A million times yes!"
It's a good thing Tsuna learned English. He did have a pretty good teacher. Heh. If I do say so myself.
Everyone cheered and confetti was somehow everywhere.
"Congrats Tenth!," Gokudera ran over, helping Tsuna up after Takeshi helped me up.
"So it finally happened," Takeshi grinned.
"Good job Boss," Chrome said, turning to me and hugging me. "I'm happy for you."
"Thank you," I smiled.
"Kudos Sawada," Kyle said. "Proposed to her before I could."
"I'd never accept your proposal anyways," I said to Kyle, who looked offended.
"Kim-chan! We must pick out all the cakes for the wedding!," Kyoko said, grabbing my arm.
Haru grabbed my other arm, "Haru-chan wants to help!"
They just want to sit and eat cake all day...
Hibari walked away from our noisy group. He still doesn't appreciate crowding.
"Yo! Tsuna. If you hurt Kimberly, I will hunt you down like the fires of hell. No matter how much security you have or how well you hide... I will hunt you down like this is Bioshock Infinite," Lucas threatened.
"R-Right!," Tsuna nodded. "That won't ever happen."
After a billion more congratulations, Tsuna took me up to his room to get some peace from our crazy family. I laid back in his bed and he laid beside me, pulling me to him.
He whispered into my ear, "I won't let anyone take you away from me."
"Tsuna...," I whispered. "This is like a dream. Being with everyone and you like this... I don't want it to end."
"It won't."
"That's good..."
"I love you, Kimberly."
"I love you too, Tsunayoshi."
FOUR MONTHS LATER
The big day was tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day I would be known as Kimberly Sawada, but for now was my bachelorette party and Tsuna's bachelor party. The men were all going out into town while the girls and I would stay back and hold down the fort, as in, we get the whole mansion to ourselves.
"I got the alcohol!~" Madison shouted, holding up bottles of alcohol and wine.
I sweat-dropped, "We don't need hangovers now."
"Oh, you're right. Okay, everyone. Don't drink to the point of getting drunk," Madison said, waving her finger around.
Everyone laughed as gifts were given to me. Most gifts were sadly lingerie. The girls hired a male stripper because to them, being a bit tipsy and stripping strangers with music felt right.
My body tensed up. I quickly grabbed Haru and Madison's necks with my elbows and heaved us onto the ground, "EVERYONE, GET DOWN!"
Everyone was doing just as I said while the ground shook. When things settled down, some of the girls got up.
"Was that an earthquake?," asked Kyoko as Chrome materialized her trident, sensing what I have sensed.
Madison pulled out a gun and flipped the safety off it, "That wasn't no ordinary earthquake."
"Hana, I-Pin," I said, helping the scared Haru up. "Get the girls to safety. Chrome, Bianchi, Madison, and I will check out what's happening."
The two nodded, leading the girls away to a safer area as Madison handed me a gun. We started heading over, cautiously, to find the source of that earthquake. We didn't have to search for long though. Almost immediately, the doors were blown up, sending us flying back onto the ground. Men in suits filled the room. All of them holding guns. Some of the maids and servants came out with weapons of their own to protect us, especially me since I'll be the second highest authority of the Vongola.
Death... Death was all the eye could see. Chrome, Bianchi, and Madison were restrained while I was still fighting. I could fight no more though. A bargain was placed. If I came forward, no problem, their lives would be spared. If not, they will die and I will be taken by more force than necessary. I chose to give in to their demands, despite my friend's pleas not to. To me, my life isn't as precious as the lives of three of my friends. That is no equivalent exchange. I was tied up and thrown over a man's shoulder. I allowed them to kidnap me. Why do I feel like I have the power to stop all this?
Darkness. Was I dead? Did I do something wrong to deserve this? No... It's because I was connected to Tsuna. Because I was going to be the wife of the most powerful mafia family.
I wasn't dead. I was sedated and drugged beyond compare. I can't move my body and I can't feel it. I could faintly hear my name being shouted.
Who's calling me?
I tried to see, but my vision wasn't all the way back yet.
"The most prized possession of Vongola Decimo will now disappear from existence," I head a man behind me say.
Is he the boss of the men who kidnapped me?
"Kim-chan!," I heard that voice again.
T-Tsuna!
I tried my best to focus on the figure that was reluctant to move. It was indeed my lover. Not only him though. All his guardians were with him. Why weren't they taking action though?
"Tsun-" My eyes widened as I felt my vision and hearing fading. There was a piercing amount of pain in my chest. Why? My ear drums hurt. I could have sworn I heard a gunshot, but who was shot? I felt myself be let go, but I couldn't hold myself up. I watched with poor sight as Tsuna and his guardians fought. I could feel their emotions. Anger. Hatred. Disgust. Regret...
I saw myself moving my limbs, but I couldn't feel it. I noticed a red substance coating my fingers.
Where did this come from?
Before I could find out the source of the red substance, Tsuna was kneeling at my side, shouting for medics. Tsuna was holding me up in his arms, his face afraid. Terrified. He smiled, telling me that everything was going to be alight, that I was going to be okay, that I just needed to stay strong. That smile was false though. He was crying. Even though I can't feel his tears hitting me, I can see the droplets falling. I was going to die. I can't stay strong. There's nothing for me to stay strong with. I can't feel my down body. It's like I'm possessed.
I moved my hand to his cheek, wishing to feel his warmth once more, but not getting that luxury.
"It's okay," I said, not realizing how weak I sounded. "It doesn't hurt Tsuna..."
"He shot you through your chest!," Tsuna shouted, as if trying to convince himself that this was true.
So that's where the red stuff was from...
"It doesn't hurt...," I smiled sadly. "I can't feel my body... I can't feel Tsu-kun's warmth anymore... I can't be with Tsuna anymore... I'm sorry... I can't fight what I can't feel..." If tears were falling down my face, I wouldn't have known.
"You'll be fine. The medics will be here soon, and then you'll get better, and we'll get married, and have kids and be together forever. Right?," Tsuna's eyes showed desperation as his grip on me seemed to have tightened due to his arms seeming to flex. The grip quickly relaxed as if i was a porcelain doll that was going to break soon.
"I'm sorry, Tsuna. I love you...," my hand slowly slipped from his cheek. He grabbed a hold of it.
"No! Y-You're lying. You sound like you're dying. D-Don't joke like that."
"Tsuna," I smiled, feeling something in my chest. "I do..."
Tsuna cried, "I-I do."
"Kiss me... Please?"
He did as I said. I couldn't feel his kiss, but I could feel with my chest. It hurt, but I don't want to tell Tsuna this. It wasn't the gun shot that hurt.
"I'm Miss Kimberly Sawada now... Right?," I smiled, as best as I could, once Tsuna broke the kiss. "I love you...Tsunayoshi..."
"Tenth! The medics are here!," Gokudera yelled as I just stared at Tsuna. My vision was blurry now. Tsuna was now just smudges of color and voices that were close by sounded far away.
This is it...my eternal slumber...
"She's dying! Please! Help her!," Tsuna shouted.
...is beginning...
My vision turned dark.
"I love you too!...S-So please don't leave me... I'm sorry I-I couldn't keep my p-promise... I let t-them take you away from me... W-We were suppose to be m-married today," was the last thing I ever heard from the tear-embedded Tsuna.
My heart was broken...and so was his.

DREAM END
HAH! HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY!.!.!.!.! THIS CHAPTER IS A JOKE. HEHE. Did you guys believe it? I wonder...
Sorry if this was bad, I kind of spent only like five hours on it, or so. I basically bullshited some of this because I didn't realize it was April Fool's Day today. For some reason, I felt like it was going to be next month. I was planning on typing out a more dramatic, heartfelt chapter...then crushing the dreams of those who thought the chapter was legit by making the whole entire chapter all a dream, or nightmare since Kim dies. I was going to put in more characters, but Kim doesn't really know much of who the people involved in the web of Tsuna are. Reborn didn't tell her EVERYTHING, like about the arcobaleno, for example. I so wanted to foreshadow things that will be happening soon, but I refrained from spoilers...well major spoilers. I think there's a few things in this dream that are going to be true in future chapters.
I'm still working on the next REAL chapter. It takes awhile what with school, my need for sleep, catch up on Youtube gamers gameplays, catch up on South Park (rewatching whole series), and my newly found interest in online Pokemon games. Hehe, I can play Dungeon Red online. I always become an Eevee. I believe that is my spirit Pokemon. Hah!
Review lovelies!
