Hello everyone! Well…it had been a long time since I updated. I have to apologize. Though I keep saying that I will try to update soon, I always ended up updating a few months later. Anyways, I can't believe so much time had passed since I last-updated.

Note: I changed the summary of the story. Didn't know if any of you realize. And I also changed the story to T rating. Since there isn't anything hot and heavy here… But then again, our favorite boys are already enough to contribute to the M rating. I hope you guys didn't have much trouble finding this story.

Anyways, please pardon my grammer and spelling errors. I was so tired.

IMPORTANT: For readers waiting for 'Regrets', I'm sorry. I'm considering to re-write the whole story. Because I realized that some parts are really weird. I can't promise you anything, but watch out for my update.


Previously…

"Call the guardians." These were the only words Giotto said to his right-hand man.

….'Giustizia famiglia's Primo Osiris…We accept your challenge.'

…Tsuna spin and faced the mirror, the head of the gun pointing to the mirror, his own reflection. He gasped. The owner of the creepy laughter was himself? He, no his reflection laughed for the third time. His reflection's caramel eyes turned red…bloody red…

….And then, he blacked out.

With Giotto and Co.

"Go and do what you are supposed to do. Leave Vongola to us."Nono told the Decimo and his six guardians.

"Scum. Make sure you come back alive." Xanxus said to Giotto. Giotto nodded confidently.

"Good luck."

Reborn said the two words without wavering and emotion, like he couldn't care less about what happen to Giotto and his guardians. However though, Giotto was able to sensed concern and worry in Reborn's words. Of course, that was possible with the help of his hyper intuition. No matter how cool and nonchalant his tutor maybe, years of understanding allowed Giotto to perceive his tutor's masked emotions.

"That Reborn…He could have said so that he was worried. What's with keeping that stoic façade?" Giotto mused. As soon as he finished that thought, Giotto immediately sensed an icy glare at the back of his head. He gulped, almost felt as if the hitman's gun was pointing as his skull. Well, what did you know Giotto? Reborn's gun is indeed aiming for your head.

Shaking off that horrible feeling, Giotto cleared his throat to attention "We will be going then."

"We will return safe with our siblings. While we're gone, we'll leave Vongola in your hands." He concluded calmly, just like how the tenth generation of Vongola boss is supposed to be .All the official matters had already been taken care off before they prepare to set off. But somehow, Giotto felt uneasy, like something was still left hanging and unsolved.

"Oh yes."Giotto turned to the Varia Boss "About Tsunayoshi…"He paused leaving the sentence unfinished. But he was sure that the leader understood what he was hoping to convey. Xanxus understood. The two skies stood there staring for a few moments before Xanxus broke the silence. "Don't die out there trash." He spoke with his usual harsh and sarcastic words. Though those words were never pleasant to hear, it served as an encouragement for the tenth generation. And for a second, Giotto and his guardians thought that the Varia had changed for the better. Indeed, Sawada Tsunayoshi did have this ability to bring out the best and good side of people, including the heartless assassin squad. Perhaps, the day where the two opposing teams can finally live in peace and join their hands is near. Since the Varia had been sort of compromising, it wouldn't be right for the Decimo family to be unfriendly and suspicious towards them.

Of course, their relief and joy only lasted for that few seconds…

"But we definitely wouldn't mind if you die out there." Levi spoke. "Since we will inherit the Vongola by default and then boss can regain his rightful position as the Vongola Decimo. Also…." Levi continued mumbling about how great Xanxus is and why the Varia boss should be the Decimo instead of the "scrawny-smiley-blonde-idiot". His ramblings were instantly filtered out by those present.

The Decimo family sweat dropped. Some people never change…And they never will.

"The time's almost up, you should go now." While completely ignoring Levi's ramblings, the Titemo urged the Decimo and guardians to set off.

Giotto nodded and held the transporter in his left/right palm. He focused and channeled his flames into his Sky Ring, his guardians did the same. The Orange Sky Flame, the Red Storm Flame, the Blue Rain Flame, the Yellow Sun Flame, the Green Lighting Flame, the Purple Cloud Flame and lastly, the Indigo Mist Flame.

When all the flames were injected to the device all at once, the telepoter levitated off Giotto's palm and floating till it was above their heads.

The lights get brighter and brighter until it fully engulfs the people. Before they are gone, Giotto gave one long look to those remaining.

With that, they are gone.


With Tsuna

Tsuna glanced around the dark abyss of nothingness and frowned. "I'm really bored with these antics…but… where am I again?" He muttered to himself monotone with an 'I-don't-care' expression. Poor Sawada Tsunayoshi, who has unfortunately repeated this process for like an infinite number of times, the only feeling he had was boredom.

Frankly, he was getting fed up and confused with all these 'fainting-and-waking-up-in-nowhere" antics. However, every time this happens, he could do nothing about it. And this time was no different. Currently, our beloved tuna-fish was horribly torn between shrieking and just staying there doing nothing. Since usually, as soon as he wakes up, the owner of the mysterious voice would say some weird things to him and afterwards he will regain conscious. But he doubted that this encounter will end that simply. If it was any indication, the last scene that he saw when he blacked out was weird.

A reflection of him with bloody red eyes staring right back at him. It's normal to find the whole situation creepy. Who wouldn't? Especially with that smile. Not the 'hello-I'm-just-a-harmless-soul-living-inside-your -body 'smile but the "I'm-gonna-take-over-your-body-and-cause-harem'' smile. However, what's the most frightening thing is that he felt that the reflection is actually another side of him. He felt and feared that the reflection is If he had a choice, Tsuna would never ever want to encounter that side of him

Whatever it is, Tsuna just want to get this matter over with. In case the Varia freaked out when they saw him on the ground and not responding. Also, he would very much like to know the progress of the Decimo Family. At around this time, they should have already reached their destination. (since they use a teleporter) and should be discussing on how to rescue the siblings and uncover the enemy's motives. He shouldn't be doing nothing.

Ad if granting his wish, a beam of white light coupled with a loud explosion appeared out of nowhere. Startled by the sudden light and explosion, Tsuna covered himself on reflex. The light shined for a couple of moments and he could feel the rumbling of the ground he was on. Surely, the light dimed soon enough and when Tsuna raised his head, he blinked several times with a gaping jaw. At the direction where the light shore, now stood a large door. The door had to be around 9 feet and above. The door was that huge. From far, Tsuna could see that there are craftings on the door.

As if hypnotized, Tsuna felt himself walking towards the door. It was as if he was possessed and his body no longer belonged to him, all he knew was that he was getting closer and closer to the door. When he was right at the front of the door, his feet stopped. He jerked, seemingly to have snapped back to reality. Now that he was this close to the door, he was able to take a more detailed inspection. Tsuna slide his fingers on the door, feeling the somewhat bumpy but smooth texture of the door. Wherever the door may have come from, one thing Tsuna could interpret was that the door was of a certain age, ancient even. His caramel orbs landed on the door handle, slightly above his chest.

Somehow, the boy knew that all he had to do is to grab the handle and push open the door. And after he did that, all his doubts will be cleared and mysterious surrounding his birth or his so-called destiny (as quoted by the owner of the mysterious voice) will be revealed. All the answers he craved are just beyond this door, but he simply couldn't master the courage to open the door. The feeling of excitement and relief had turned into fear and anxiety. Tsuna could hear a voice mumbling in his head "No, don't open the door. I'm scared…"

Tsuna's lips quivered and he felt his mouth go dry. He couldn't do this after all. For every secret revealed, there will be a painful price to pay. Whatever the price may be, Tsuna wasn't sure if he could handle this alone.

But wait! He wasn't alone! Tsuna's gasped as his eyes regained their usual vibrant colour. His lips curved up into a beautiful smile. He wasn't alone, he repeated to himself. He had people he cared about whom also cared about him waiting for him. Xanxus-nii, the Varia, Grandpa, Hayato and his friends, they are all waiting for him. They trusted him, helped him and loved him. To give up just because of a fear is a cowardly behavior. I'm not a herbivore… I'm a CARNIVORE! (A/N: Oh, Tsuna! Hibari will be so proud! *sobs*)

"I have to do this. This is the only way."

With re-new determination, Tsuna grabbed on to the door's handle and tilted it.


OMAKE! *Re-written of the pushing the door open scene*

A/N: I added this as omake because this is quite erm, funny and kind of not suitable to add in above. Simply because the atmosphere up there is too dark and angst. And I want to keep it that way. So I'm adding it here.

WARNING: Any blood loss, traumatized feelings or nightmares from this omake is not of my responsibility.

Enjoy!

"I have to do this. This is the only way."

With re-new determination, Tsuna grabbed on to the door's handle and was about to push open the door, when he paused. Gently releasing his hands from the handle, he stood there motionless for a few seconds, debating with himself. What goes into the mind of our favourite uke is as below.

"Should I like knock on the door?" *Cue readers sweatdrop and most of them falling animatedly*

"I mean it's not like I'm in the Varia's mansion or anything, but knocking on the door is well, basic courtesy. Okay, what if there are people inside? Fine, I know that I'm in a 'land of nothingness' but what are the chances that there might be people inside who are busy with…you know what…*Tsuna blushes suddenly*… So yeah, I should knock. I mean, I wouldn't want to be interrupting or anything…"

"But knocking on the door sounds really stupid. And trust me, nobody might come to answer the door. And if no one opens the door for me, or give the command that I can enter, then I should just wait outside till like…forever?"

"But then again, I don't want it to be the repeat of the previous time when I was with Xanxus-nii and Squalo-nii… * Tsuna pouts cutely with his blush still evident on his face*"

"You know the last time I went into a room without knocking, I saw… *Tsuna pauses for a few moments and looks around him nervously* Xanxus-nii and Squalo-nii on the bed. And they weren't exactly dressed. Well, if you called only wrapping towels on your waist as dressed. And they seemed to be kind of wet… and red too… I wonder why. Not to mention, their position is kinda weird. Xanxus-nii seemed to have 'prisoned' Squalo-nii with his body by lying on top of him. Xanxus-nii had his hands at Squalo-nii's inner thigh (Squalo-nii was nude) , and was touching him. I think they might be playing some sort of game. And it's obvious that Xanxus-nii had won, since he had that winner kind of smirk on his face, while Squalo-nii seemed to be very uncomfortable with this. I seemed to be missing an important point here…"

"But anyways, because I saw that my two nii-chans seemed to be having fun, I decided to be a good boy and left quietly. Lussuria-nee would be so proud of me! Hmm…but I heard some weird sounds like moaning and screaming from the room. Xanxus-nii should learn to play nice, he's hurting Squalo-nii with his unlimited strength and stamina. I thought of returning to the room and asking Xanxus-nii to play fair, but I didn't because Lussuria-nee called me for dinner."

"When I told the rest of the Varia that Xanxus-nii was a bully to Squalo-nii, of course, I told them what I had seen and heard, their expressions were priceless. It took an awkward silence and a couple of nose bleed before they finally calm down, telling me that they were playing a game and there was nothing to worry about. I believed them without hesitation, but it might have been my imagination that they seemed kind of relieved when I finally stopped asking about the game."

"However…the uproar started again when I asked Lussuria-nee if I could play the game with Kyoya-nii."

"From then on, Xanxus-nii set a new rule that I was to knock on the door before entering the room."


Well, that's all for now. I hope you guys enjoy the OMAKE! I put in a lot of effort. I secretly feel that my omake was better done then my main story… I feel sad…

Until next time, please do the usual, REVIEW PLEASE! ^^
