:'( The second last chapter. I've been procrastinating so bad because I didn't want this fic to end...yet but I know it must! So enjoy the ending of The day the angel crashed into my life (it's split into two parts). I'm going to go celebrate now because I have more time to work on my other fics...which badly need to be updated...now I'm depressed again.

Disclaimer: Who cares about disclaimers anyway? *sigh*, I do not claim KHR by the way disclaimers are gay.

Today's the day, today's the day, today's the day...Why can't it be tomorrow?

I sat there in my bed unwilling to get up and go out into the world and face Byakuran. What was I even supposed to say? How do you reply to a confession? I can't even get my thoughts straight let alone answer to Byakuran feelings.

I placed my hands on my head before ruffling my hair up, making it even more unruly than usual. Everything was so complicated yet so simple. But...what about how I felt? What if I didn't want to give an answer to Byakuran? So many questions and I can't answer any of them. I'm not even sure of where my heart lies.

I heaved a huge sigh before ever so slowly placing one foot on the floor after the other, my pyjama's red bottoms lightly brushing against the cold hard ground.

'Took you long enough to get up', Reborn said, all of sudden appearing on my window ledge.

After a quick 'hie' and a kick in the head I was ordered by Reborn to get dressed in the clothes he threw at me which were in a green and yellow spotted bag.

I caught the bag before cautiously opening it while Reborn stood there with a smirk, 'you know they're just clothes, they aren't exactly going to come alive and bite you'.

'With you I can never be too sure', I replied, looking into the yellow spotted bag.

Inside the bag was an expensive black suit, silky, sky blue tie and the Vongola emblem engraved on a small, 2x3 centimetre, gold pin.

'Reborn, what do I need these for?' I asked suspiciously.

'We're going to Italy for the next three days to spend time with the Ninth and I want you looking your best. Though it will take around half a day to go to and from Italy', Reborn said.

'B-but I have something to do today', I stammered.

'Whatever it is it can wait a few days', Reborn replied.

'It really can't wait; I have to do it today!' I exclaimed.

'Then do it now, I have a plane set to take off in an hour and a half for Italy and we're leaving for the airport in half an hour. You need not pack for all your clothes will be unsuitable, I will provide you with clothes for the next three days. You don't even need to pack a toothbrush', Reborn said.

'Wait! How did you get mum to agree to this? And why do I have to get involved in this mafia stuff? I refuse to go!' I said.

'It's as simple as, "Tsuna's class is going on a fieldtrip that he forgot to tell you about, typical him, it starts today and ends at around 5p.m. on Monday", then I had to tell the school you'd be away Monday because of "family reasons" and badda-bing-badda-boom we're on our way to Italy. As for your reluctance to go on this trip all we're doing is visiting the Ninth whom you call grandpa, don't you want to visit your grandpa?' Reborn explained.

I did want to visit grandpa; we hadn't seen each other in a very long time...

'...Will Gokudera and Yamamoto be there?' I asked.

'No, only you and I are going on this trip but Yamamoto and Gokudera have been informed that you shall not be here. I also took the liberty of informing the rest of guardians of you absence'.

'Umm, thanks...I think?'

'You better be thankful, I had to spend all that extra time going round and informing everyone', Reborn said.

'Ok, ok, I'm really thankful Reborn, you're the best!'

'And you better remember it. Now hurry up and do whatever you needed to do so we can be on your way', Reborn said, hopping down from my window ledge to sit on one of the cushions on the floor where the Seeing Pool previously was.

'Hey that reminds me, how did you get rid of that Seeing Pool so quickly?' I asked.

'A man must have his secrets Tsuna', Reborn replied.

'Ya-huh...bye for now, I'll only be a few minutes...I hope', I said, getting dressed in a simple white shirt and the school pants I had left on the floor yesterday. It didn't matter what I wore I would be changing into the suit soon anyway.

After I dressed I ran out the door and too Byakuran's house so fast I could give a cheetah a run for its money.

Then I stood staring at Byakuran's French doors, slightly petrified. What was I thinking!-? I just ran to the house of the person I had been avoiding for the past week or more. He could have seen me as well, running like I was possessed or something!

I took a deep breath in which brought on new worries...What if I did something different from the vision and messed everything up? What if instead of accepting my answer Byakuran did something crazy which wasn't supposed to happen? The Seeing Pool was a prototype after all what if it was wrong? I took a deep breath in steadied myself. Everything was fine. Everything would be good. I would get through this.

I raised one shaky hand and knocked lightly which made virtually no noise. I steeled myself and knocked again, this time hard enough for the whole house to hear and...nothing. No noises came from inside the house, no one moved inside the house, I didn't even know if there was anyone in the house.

'Byakuran', I called softly. 'Byakuran!' I called with more force and still nothing.

I soon came to the conclusion that Byakuran, oddly enough, was not at home. Why was he not at home!-? He had been hanging out for me to give him an answer for a long time and now he wasn't here! Screw him! I built up so much courage coming here to tell him the answer and he wasn't even home. Now I just feel stupid.

With a gigantic sigh I stepped away from the door. Maybe in the end Byakuran didn't want to hear my answer? Maybe he didn't even like me anymore? The thought left a strange pang of sadness in my chest and I tried to ignore it.

Out of the blue I came up with an idea. I would write Byakuran a note. I would tell him my answer on it and then I would go to Italy, come back to Namimori then hear his reply, simple as that.

Thinking quick I pulled out some gum and a pen which I had shoved in my pocket at school yesterday. I opened the gum wrapper and placed the gum in my mouth after, chewing furiously, after which I smoothed out the green wrapper, leaned it against the door and wrote on it, glad that it was a large piece of gum therefore had a surprisingly large wrapper.

'Hi Byakuran, sorry I can't give you my answer in person but I'm going on a trip for a few days. I know that you like me a lot and I think that it's really sweet. However I'm not sure if us going out would be a good idea, I just want to remain friends...but I think I'm starting to like you back and so when I get back to Namimori I want to try going out with you.

From Tsuna', I scribbled in tiny, messy writing and hoping that it was legible, I got the gum out of my mouth and stuck it smack bang in the middle of Byakuran's door after which I stuck the gum wrapper on it, hoping that the gum would be enough to hold it there.

Leaving a note was different from the future I had seen and I prayed that it didn't mess everything up. The way I answered it was only a little bit different, it wouldn't change the future...right?

'I hope someone else doesn't read this', I said aloud, walking away from Byakuran's house, feeling the weight of the situation almost lift off my shoulders. I still did need to hear Byakuran's answer so the weight was still there but it was in the back of my mind, not the gnawing thought that was usually almost always there. I felt relieved for the first time in the last few weeks and I loved it. It was truly a great feeling.

I sat in a first-class chair, eating first-class food, in the first-class section of the plane, in my first-class silk suit. I couldn't help but fidget at how fancy and elegant everything was. The comfy, blue plane-chairs were spacious and set far apart for more leg room. The in flight TV's were huge, as least as big as the one I had at home if not bigger, and the service was definitely first-class. My every need was taken care of whether it be food, drink, entertainment, I bet they would even serve me alcohol if it would get them somewhere. The thought made me fidget more.

Reborn, who sat next to me, constantly told me to stop moving and fiddling which I would do...for about five seconds. I was so nervous that I thought I might wet myself and the occasional curious stares from the other first-class passengers didn't help. Although I could say blamed them for staring, we were a strange pair, a baby in a hat and suit and a teen who looked like he was about to piss himself. I couldn't help but wish we looked more inconspicuous but we were attracting less attention than a couple in the back who were drunk off their asses.

Reborn suddenly called my name to gain my attention, ripping me out of my anxious imaginings. 'Tsuna, soon we shall be landing and in Italy where there will be an escorts sent to pick us up. They will all be looking at you and gauging your reaction so you must get rid of this sudden nervousness that has overcome you'.

'I can't help it, I've never done anything like this before', I whispered to Reborn.

'Get over it. If they know you're this chicken they'll eat you alive', Reborn replied.

'Hiiiee! Literally!-?' I exclaimed.

'Not literally you idiot!' Reborn yelled, gaining a few curious glances from the other passengers. 'Look, an easy way to throw away your fear is to remember that they cannot hurt you, you are above them, you are their boss.'

'That doesn't really help that much considering I don't want to be their boss', I said.

'Just stop being such a nervous, little mouse, stand up and be the man I've been training you to be', Reborn said with conviction.

'I'll try', I replied with much less conviction.

Another fifteen minutes later and the plane landed and Reborn and me were in Italy. It wasn't my first time overseas but I couldn't help but be excited after all I was in Italy!

After we got off the plane and went through security, Reborn and I stopped for a quick lunch at the most expensive place Reborn would find then we were on our way out of the airport.

'Now Tsuna, you must remain calm for we are approaching the exit where the escorts will be stationed and let me tell you, if you show any traces of fear you are not fit to fill the Ninth's shoes', Reborn threatened.

'You know Reborn you really aren't helping', I replied, putting my hand in my pocket fingering the pencil I had used to write the note.

'I'm not here to help, I'm here to teach', Reborn stated.

'Let's just get this over with', I said, smoothing out my sky blue tie with both hands.

Reborn then noticed something out of place. 'Tsuna', Reborn said threateningly, 'where is your Vongola emblem?'

'Urm...in my pocket', I said quietly.

'Put it on now before we go any further', Reborn ordered.

'But it's mafia related and I said I wouldn't have anything to do with that stuff!' I whispered loudly.

'Would you rather get shot or put the damn pin on?' Reborn asked.

'You know what? The pin sounds like a great idea, I'll put it on right now', I said nervously, fishing the golden, Vongola emblem out of my coat pocket and pinning it on the front pocket of my jacket.

We then continued in silence till we reached the exit at which point Reborn gave me a 'don't screw this up' look before we exited out the airport's automatic doors into the bright Italian sun.

~ With Byakuran (Byakuran POV) ~

Hot. My whole body was burning up. I weakly pushed the sticky blanket that was covering me off but it didn't relieve the almost painful heat that was covering every inch of my body. In my heat laden mind I came to the conclusion that I was sick. Very sick. I checked the clock on my desk, 10:09, Tsuna should be here soon, I should clean myself up.

I stumbled out of bed and towards the bathroom, the world spinning around me. It was then that I heard something. Fervent knocking on my door. I then staggered down the hall, intent on going down the stairs and answering the door because there was every chance it was Tsuna knocking.

I heard the person at the door call out quietly but whatever they had said was muffled by the door. Then the person by the door called again, this time much louder. I could hear the voice call out my name, this time much louder, and I knew it was Tsuna at my door.

I saw the stairs come into view and rushed towards them, I had to see Tsuna. It was only a few steps now and I would be at the stairs.

I felt faint. I felt weak. Why was the world going black? I heavily leaned against the white washed wall and tried to pull myself together. A little bit further just a little bit and I could see Tsuna. I could touch him, hold him, hear him out. Only a set of stairs and a door were in my way. I tried to call out but my voice only came out as a rasp.

I slid down the wall and willed myself to get up. I had to know how Tsuna felt; I wouldn't let it end like this. The blackness overtook me and soon I succumbed to the overwhelming need to rest.

I awoke around 5 hours after I had fallen asleep, I could tell about that much time had passed because of the clock conveniently centered on the wall across from me. I felt better but I knew I wasn't in good shape. I needed help.

'Tsuna', I rasped weakly, half expecting him to immediately appear which did not happen.

Realizing that I did indeed need help, I heaved myself up off the floor, head to the phone which was a few meters away from the stairs and punched in the only number in this town I had learned off by heart.

The phone dialed before a chirpy voice answered, 'hello'.

I felt myself sway and grabbed onto the table the phone rest upon, 'hello?' the voice on the phone questioned.

'Help...I need help', I said, my voice like sandpaper, rough and painful.

'Who is this?' the voice on the phone asked.

'Byakuran', I said in a scratchy voice before my strength let out and I dropped the phone.

'Byakuran...Hello? Byakuran, are you there?' I faintly heard the person on the other end ask, panicked. Then only the dial tone could be heard and I knew help was on the way.

A few minutes later the door to my house opened and closed and Nana, Tsuna's mother, came into view a few meters from where I had eventually leaned down against the wall, too weak to stand anymore.

'Byakuran! Are you alright?' Nana asked.

'Need...help', I rasped.

'I'll go ask the neighbours to drive you to the hospital', Nana said.

'Please do', I said quietly, trying not to strain my voice.

Nana disappeared for a few moments before reappearing with a couple that lived two houses over whom I barely knew. The lady was slightly plump with dirty blonde hair down to her waist, a blue dress on and an expensive wedding ring on her finger, she looked to be only half Japanese but I couldn't quite tell. The man was thin as a rake, wore a crumpled business suit and looked to be in his thirties and was more a few years older than his wife.

'Were going to take you to the hospital now, everything will be okay', the man said.

I gave a weak nod of the head and the man lifted me up and with the help of his wife and got me into his black Holden. A few words were exchanged between the couple and Nana before we were speeding off in the direction of the hospital. All I could wonder was, where was Tsuna?

+ With Nana (Nana's POV) +

I searched Byakuran's immaculately cleaned house to find the key to his French doors. I couldn't just leave them all open like this. All the while thinking about where his parents were and why they weren't taking care of their child.

When I found the little, silver key I exited the house, closed the door behind me and locked it. When I turned to leave I noticed something. A note on the door. Thinking that it might be important I took it upon myself to read it.

Hi Byakuran, sorry I can't give you my answer in person but I'm going on a trip for a few days. I know that you like me a lot and I think that it's really sweet. However I'm not sure if us going out would be a good idea, I just want to remain friends...but I think I'm starting to like you back and so when I get back to Namimori I want to try going out with you.

From Tsuna.

Oh my, I knew something was going on there but I didn't expect this, Tsuna's never mentioned anything of this nature to me but...Tsuna's too young for this. Byakuran's almost a grown man but Tsuna's still my baby boy. I don't want him to get hurt, what of Byakuran's just playing with him?

Going against my better judgement and listening to my motherly urges I ripped the note off the door, scrunched it up and threw it in a puddle of water next to Byakuran's pathway, still fresh from last night's rain.

I was doing the right thing for my little boy...wasn't I?

Well I decided to split the ending into two parts because this one is going to end up being really, really long of I don't stop here.
