Bleh, I've been sick this entire week and I haven't sat up long enough to finish a chapter without feeling nausea. Anyways, so yeah, sorry if this chapter is kind of half-assed... D:

Oh yeah BTW

Italian Translation:

mio piccolo uccello in gabbia = My little bird in a cage

Yuna stirred slightly and then slowly, her eyes slid open. She had an acute pain in the back of her head and she quickly sat up, gripping her head. Realizing her surroundings, she looked around cautiously. What had happened? She had blacked out, her body moving by itself… Wait… Where was she!?

Yuna looked around the room she had found herself in. It was a very luxurious white room. She was sitting in a big white bed, way bigger than her own. The room kind of reminded her of the hospital, which creeped her out. Yuna glanced down. She was still in her black tuxedo shirt and skirt but something was strange… Yuna noticed a mirror at the other side of the room, it showed her reflection. Something was off… Yuna had a weird looking collar around her neck. She poked it once, and nothing happened. Her eye twitched. What the hell happened!?

She recalled that before she blacked out, the laughter of a man she was disgusted with. Yep. Byakuran. Letting him have world domination wasn't really on her list, actually, he wasn't on her list all together. Grimacing at the thought of him she tugged at the collar, only to feel a burning sensation on her fingers that gripped it. She hissed and pulled her fingers away, they were slightly scalded. She glanced over to the mirror to see that the collar was emitting an orange flame. The sky flame!

The turning of a doorknob and the opening of a door caught her attention.

"Oh~? You're awake," A sickening sweet voice said. The last person she wanted to see at the moment walked inside. She glared at him.

"Where the hell am I?" Yuna asked, scowling.

"Language," Byakuran murmured, smiling.

"Just answer me," She demanded. He continued to smile that smile she hated so much and sat down at the bedside. Too close for comfort.

"You're in one of the Millefiore bases… Easier said, this one is a mansion," He said, scooting a little closer to her, nearly coming in contact.

"Why am I here?" She asked, sliding over to the left, away from him.

"So many questions," He laughed. She glared at him. "You don't remember anything, do you?"

She must've blinked because the next thing she knew, she was pushed down on the bed and he hovered about her. She struggled to get up, only for him to overpower her, bounding her hands and she was stuck in that compromising position. Smirking down at her, his eyes opened slightly.

"Let me refresh your memory." Yuna looked at him questionably but screamed when she felt his flame on her forehead. Memories flashed of after she blacked out.

--

In the middle of running Yuna's body stopped responding and halted by itself. She raised her head and her eyes were distant and blank. She felt her arm reach into her pocket and pull out her blue weapon box. She could hear a male's laughter in the back of her head as she released her weapons. Releasing her goggles and scythe she charged at her comrades and swung at Tsuna. Tsuna looked at her in surprised and quickly dodged.

"Y-Yuna-san!?" He exclaimed. "W-what're you doing??!!"

She didn't respond with a blank expression on her face and simply raised her scythe again. Byakuran stood in the exact same place as he was earlier, smirking evilly at them. Tsuna looked at him terrified and then glanced back at Yuna. He attempted to dodge the swing, only to get the sleeve cut slightly, grazing his skin. Tsuna glanced at his arm for a moment. It was just a simple cut, like a paper cut. Everyone glanced uneasy at Yuna, not knowing whether she had betrayed them or not. She stood with the rest of the Funeral Wreaths.

Hibari stared at Yuna. His gaze fixed on her; he released his hedgehog to stop the Funeral Wreaths. Sitting at the back of Squalo's shark, he glanced and noticed Byakuran speeding towards them. Yuna ran towards Tsuna and swung at him again, he dodged it again. He didn't want to fight her, especially when it meant he had to harm her in any way. Twirling her scythe she swung at Chrome when she noticed that a flame was emitting from her trident.

"Kufufu," A male's voice laughed. Yuna found her attack to be blocked by a man who looks fairly similar to Chrome. He looked at Byakuran. "I'll stop you."

"Mukuro-sama," Chrome said surprised.

Byakuran looked shocked to see Mukuro. Yuna's blank expression did not change as she gazed at the male. Mukuro glanced at her and chuckled. He shoved her aside before she collided with Byakuran who aimed a flamed hand at Mukuro's trident. Yuna was tossed onto the ground before he created a first realm illusion.

"Hyaa. Amazing!!" Tsuna exclaimed.

"Long time no see, Tsunayoshi Sawada," Mukuro said smirking.

"Mukuro from 10 years later!?" Tsuna asked. "But… What about your injury?"

"Tsunayoshi-kun is right," Byakuran said unaffected by the illusion. "Mukuro-kun."

Byakuran was wrapped in some sort of vines inside the illusions.

"You can't beat me like this," Byakuran said, unmoving. "If you want to beat me, then at least get out from the Vendice Prision and fight using your own body."

"Kufufu. Don't worry about it. The day that I beat you up with my own hands is not far," Mukuro said. "For now, I will say we have started to move."

Byakuran glanced at Yuna and she stood up. Swing her scythe at Mukuro, he blocked her blade with his trident. He chuckled and sent a jolt of indigo flames at her. Tsuna looked at them startled. Mukuro glanced at Tsuna.

"Now bring the sky arcobaleno to Namimori Town," He told Tsuna.

"But!" Tsuna tried to speak against something.

"Tsuna! It seems that we better leave it to Mukuro," Dino said.

Tsuna looked Chrome who called Mukuro. He looked back at Yuna uneasily as she continued to attack his Mist Guardian. Yuna's scythe was lit with her own indigo mist flame.

"What bout Yuna!?" He cried, not knowing what to do.

"Kufufu, just go Sawada Tsunayoshi," Mukuro said, not taking his eyes off this opponent. Tsuna looked at them unsure. Swallowing uneasily he spoke.

"Mukuro!! Can we meet again!?" He asked. Mukuro turned to look at Tsuna. Currently, Yuna was in his grasp, she was unable to swing at him and had his blocking her path in her struggle to make him let her go.

"Of course," Mukuro said smiling. "I wouldn't like somebody else to take over the world. Listen Tsunayoshi Sawada, you must not hand over the sky arcobaleno Uni to Byakuran."

"Shut up," Byakuran said, his hand stabbing through Mukuro when Yuna managed to get released.

"Ugh," Mukuro groaned at the attack. He began to disappear. "Put the flame into the transportation system quickly."

Tsuna and the others lit up their rings with their flames and a light engulfed them.

"Yuna!" Some of the others cried. She glanced at them blankly and soon enough, they disappeared.

Byakuran had one hand around Yuna's neck and the other was still where he stabbed the illusionary Mukuro.

"Kufufu, using one of their comrades to attack the Vongola?" Mukuro chuckled. Byakuran sneered.

"But of course," He said.

"Such an infatuation could be a weakness yet to come," Mukuro stated, his eyes trailing over to Yuna's blank ones. Byakuran frowned at him and then Mukuro vanished.

"Byakuran-sama, are you hurt!?" The Funeral Wreaths asked, rushing over to him. Yuna stood them, unmoving. He smirked at her.

"I'm fine," He spoke. "I feel like eating something though."

His hand left Yuna's throat and then stroked her hair.

"Byakuran! I don't like you!" Bluebell exclaimed at him. "WHY ARE YOU SO CAUGHT UP WITH THAT UNI DOLL!? We should just kill her-!!"

"Stop joking Bluebell. Saying things like wanting to kill Uni." Byakuran spoke in a dark voice. His hand rested threateningly at Bluebell's throat, as if he would cut it off her head with just his hand. "If you say that again. I'll kill you."

She fell to the ground, startled. Kikyou was crouched beside her as she was holding onto him, frightened. He explained why he needed Uni to the Funeral Wreaths and then he glanced at Yuna. She looked back at him blankly. He didn't look that happy at the moment as he held a bad of marshmallows in his hand.

"I want… That girl," He said, chomping down on a handful of them.

The Funeral Wreaths nodded. He smiled as Yuna leaned against him, slowly closing her eyes. Putting his bag of marshmallows away, he carried her bridal style firmly.

--

Yuna's eyes shot open as she looked up at Byakuran in horror. He smiled down at her.

"I… I attacked t-them?" She asked in disbelief.

"Yes you did. By now they must be labeling you as a traitor," He murmured, leaning down. Yuna couldn't believe her ears. His lips brushed against the spot where his flame had touched her forehead. Tears welled up in her eyes. "The Millefiore is all you have now."

"I can't believe it," She whispered, her hands were still bound so she was unable to wipe away her tears. His lips drifted down from her forehead to her eyes as he kissed her eyes and licked the tears as they slid down her cheeks.

"You can't go back now," He uttered to her releasing her arms. "You'll be my little caged bird."

Yuna wasn't paying attention as she wept into her hands. He frowned and moved to sit up at the side of the bed while Yuna sat up as well, sniffing as her tears continued to fall. He glanced at her and then wrapped his arms around her, holding Yuna to him.

"Why?" She asked against his jacket. He looked down at her. "Why did you do that?"

"When Shou-chan told me about this nee-chan he had," Byakuran started. "I grew curious and wanted to meet you if you were as great as he said." Yuna shifted uncomfortably against him. "I was soon introduced to you when you were around 19 years old and you sparked my interests. I grew attached to you after just one meeting and I understood why Shou-chan was so fond of you. Soon enough, I was captivated by you, completely bewitched and soon enough, I needed to have you with me."

Yuna stared at him in disbelief. He lowered his head to hers, their noses brushed lightly against each other.

"If you try to leave, I will drag you back, I'll clip your wings and take away everything else you have until I'm all you can think of, the only place you can go and run to. It'd be best for you to do as you're told so I don't have to take away anything more; I'm even daring to take away your mobility to keep you by my side." His smile was gone and what was on his face was a grim frown. Yuna knew she didn't have much of a choice anymore. She didn't have anyone left, she had harmed her friends and she knew she couldn't look at them without feeling disgusted with herself.

"Do I make myself clear?" He asked glowering. Yuna made a sound at the back of her throat as her eyes went downcast and she nodded. He gave her a spiteful smile as he lowered his head once again and brushed his lips against hers causing Yuna to shriek before being muffled by his lips.

--

Tsuna stared at the sky for a moment, thinking back to the betrayal of Yuna. Why had she attacked them? Was she really now with the Millefiore? Something ached in his chest when he thought of the possibility that she had been playing with everyone's feelings the whole time…

--

Shouichi stared at the ceiling of the base injured. His nee-chan… Had she really committed treason against the Vongola? Gazing upwards, he looked doubtful of her.

Yuna-nee-chan… Have you really deserted us?

--

Yuna gazed around quietly as she sat on the grass in a large garden. She had been granted permission to visit it, if she did not escape. She sat there admiring the beautiful variety of flowers. She could remember a few of the symbolic meanings of flowers.

"Amaranth flowers mean Immortal love," She murmured.

"Bleh, to think someone is actually looking at these boring things!" A girl's voice wailed behind Yuna. She glanced back surprised to see Bluebell pouting at her.

"Ah… They're not boring," Yuna replied quietly.

"Yes they are!" Bluebell grumbled. "They're just plants! I don't get what's with people and these things!"

"Flowers have meaning behind them," Yuna said. "You do you know your name is an Italian flower, right?"

"…" Bluebell said nothing.

"Um… For example…," Yuna started, glancing around the garden. "Oh! There's a Dahlia over there. They mean Elegance and Dignity."

"So?" Bluebell asked, not really convinced that they were any fun. Yuna smiled sheepishly.

"Heh, I guess a light pink rose might represent you," Yuna giggled. Bluebell blinked.

"Why?"

"Well, it's about the meaning of flowers so I don't think you'd be very interested," Yuna said, turning back to look at the flowers. Bluebell pouted.

"Tell me!" She demanded, taking a seat beside Yuna. "What do they mean?"

"Well, a light pink rose can mean Joy of life, youth and energy," Yuna snickered. Bluebell paused and then looked at Yuna curiously. "Well, you seem to have a lot of energy and stuff."

"Really?" Bluebell asked cutely. She glanced around the garden. She pointed a flower that caught her eye. "What about that one?"

"That's a Magnolia if I remember correctly," Yuna said, looking at where she was pointing. "They mean love of nature."

"Oooh… What about… That one?"

--

Kikyou looked out the window of the second story to see Bluebell and the girl that Byakuran had taken with them, talking in the garden. Yuna was her name if he remembered correctly. Apparently, she had said something to appeal to Bluebell and now she seemed to be really interested in whatever they were talking about. It was interesting to see Bluebell actually getting along with someone new. He knew about his boss's obsession with the new girl and it interested him to see what would be happening next. He smirked. When will Byakuran get tired of her and kill her? This should be interesting.

--

Yuna sat on her bed silently at night. She really didn't know exactly what she was going to do… She needed a long time to think, sort out her thoughts… She pulled out her laptop.

Dear Diary,

I've been taken into 'captive' by the enemy… I don't know what to do anymore… First I've injured my friends and now I'm stuck here. I was threatened and now I can't leave out of fear… I know I'm not strong enough to do anything either. I can't believe I injured Tsuna… I'm devastated and don't think I could face him ever again… I don't think they'd welcome be back too, after what I did…

Well, so far nothing here really is bad… I'm not being treated unfairly, quite nicely actually. Though, I can't relax and such because… well it's the enemy… Yeah… I think I'm starting to feel homesick…

Yuna sighed and shut her laptop. She couldn't really do anything at the moment… So why try? None of her specialties where physical in any way, they were pretty much mental. Great. She could hack into any security, but it doesn't help the fact that she's currently in the same estate as the most powerful people in Millefiore. That's just stupid.

"…" Yuna slipped her laptop back in her pocket and sat quietly on the edge of the bed. She missed her friends… Sighing she pulled her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, curling up. She resisted the urge to cry as her eyes burned with tears. Don't cry! Don't cry!! She continued to repeat that to herself. The collar hurt against her neck, pressing against her windpipe, almost threatening to choke her.

Yuna fell on her side, landing with a plop on the mattress. She fell asleep like that, once she closed her eyes, the tears fell freely.
