The Broken Bucking Horse [Part 2]
Dino curled up in the corner of his room as Reborn and Tsuna stood at the doorway. The two just came to visit once they heard Dino had woken up from sleeping for a week. Romario was whispering reassurances at the shivering young man who wasn't all there.
One of the Cavallone subordinates, Bono Houston, whispers gravely, "We are still counteracting the effects of one of the hallucinations drugs, but there are still too many chemicals in his blood. It doesn't help most of them have yet to leave our boss' body."
Tsuna gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath, "Send some of his bloodwork to the Vongola Science Department, we'll make it priority."
The implication of Bono's relief face almost called on Tsuna's fury, but Reborn word broke through the burning fire of the return of Heaven's Judgement.
"Later."
A soft whimper washed away the rest of his anger and left the guilt, but most the need to help his big brother.
"Dino-nii," with a struggle, Tsuna carefully sat down on an empty chair next to the hospital bed and let his anger leave. Anything for his big brother.
"After everything it's all over," Tsuna whispers, "We'll get some ice cream."
Tsuna quietly steps out, but not before looking at Reborn. The hitman nods and enters the room to seat where Tsuna previously sat. Before he left, he heard Reborn begin to sing softly.
Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.
Hayato perks up from leaning on the car, who waited with Takeshi, outside of the Cavallone Mansion, "Juudaime, we have located the ones who sent the hit to they-who-ceased-to-exist."
"Speaking of which, now that those who survived spread the word, I wouldn't mind killing the messengers!" Takeshi cheerfully puts in, hands fidgeting for his sheath sword.
Tsuna's face turns blank before smirking that would have Reborn proud, "In that case, Operation Absolute Annihilation is a go. We'll show what the Tenth generation is all about."
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses.
The Vongola Science department, head by Shoichi delegated the different poisons to different committees within the department. Currently, he is in a meeting with the appointed leaders on each committee to share their findings. After all, no matter how specialized they are, all these drugs were used one over the other and Shoichi would not make a mistake.
"Vongola gave us a job and we will back him up," Shoichi stated as he wrap up the meeting, "We have until the end of the day for our own ally, no our Family find relief from their pain and we have the duty to do our part. Let's finish this!"
Blacks and bays, dapple grays,
Coach and six white horses.
In the dark of the night, the sun came blazing through and lightning struck at the same place more than once with a shrieking delight.
In the brightest of day, the mist covered the tracks and the cloud covered the light, bringing fear to everyone's heart.
Throughout the day, the sky let loosed its storm and piercing rain. Yet the weathers hid nothing on the sky's rage. Their screams had nothing on their fear let alone the fierce rage of the protector.
The famiglia thought they can hide in plain sight, but in 24 hours they were no longer in this world nor the next. After all, no one messes with Vongola, in especially against its true heir and future King.

And those under their protection can see their king and his white horses, protecting them from those who harm them.
Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.
Reborn stopped singing once the medicine to give Dino peace took effect. It was only matter of time when his precious student wakes up.
The small, formerly curse body shook despite no tears have fallen. The little green magical charmeleon jumps down and licks the young man's hand.
"Mm, tickl's, L'n," Dino mumbles before giving a deep sigh, finally entering a deep sleep, devoid of agony.
Outside of the open room, muffles cries can be heard as it spread all over the mansion.

A/N: And done for now, but rest assured I will give as one reviewer said, all "the hugs for Dino-nii". For the next chapter we get a Star Wars cross over. Until next time, LaniAhava out.
