I couldn't pinpoint the feeling that Tsuna gave me. He's my bonded but yet I feel so enraged or disgusted around him. I really don't get why... It makes me want to stop and have a talk with him but... I don't want to throw him into this wicked world quite yet.

Or the mess with the Virtues and Chiyoyuki.

It wouldn't be fair to him. Hell, it's not fair to me. I was the one killed in order to kill her.

I sigh, signing off another approval for Luca. There is so much work, and I've even decided to try and train Tsunayoshi. Not only would it help him with the bullies, but with Reborn in a few years.

Speaking of Reborn...

"So, Pathetic Carnivore, we're going to be invaded by the Mafia in a few years?"

I grimace, still stuck on the Pathetic Carnivore. "Yes."

Hibari narrows his eyes. "As per the agreement, you will be staying here under my watch to prevent any incidents happening to you."

I shrivel in my spot, "but, three months before you believe they are to arrive you must leave."

Hibari sniffs the air. "It would be better for Namimori if you were out of Namimori when these... incident occurs."

I raise my hand weakly, "Why do you call me a Pathetic Carnivore?"

He fixes an amused yet annoyed look on me. "You would be considered an Omnivore, but there's this glint in your eyes that tell me otherwise."

I sit up, feeling the tension in the room rise.

"You do whatever it takes to get to your goals." He stands from the couch, looking back at me once arriving at the door.

"But you play by the rules of the game because being inhibited from your goals does not appeal to you. Chaos is more of a bother when it prevents you from your goals."

He opens the door and walks out, saying these final few words.

"Otherwise, I'm sure you would've crushed the Mafia by now."

The door closes and I stare at the door.

My eyes drop from the door to my folded hands, shock seeping slightly into my soul.

That's... a truth about me that I didn't even know about.

Hibari's... Hibari's...

He's a fucking wizard.

Hibari the seer.

Hibari the almighty.

I snicker for a bit before laughter takes me.

Fuck, man. Hibari's a Hibari.

"Haah... I think I might take a break, Hibari is way too intense. A nap would be wonderful."

I knock on the door, ignoring the rage that has sunk to my stomach.

Tsunayoshi opens it and I smile.

"Hey, I'm planning on doing early morning runs. Would you like to join me in them?" I ask.

He nods right before Nana catches sight of me.

"Oh my! Are you my dear Tsu-kun's girlfriend?"

Tsuna blushes heavily and I shake my head. "Nope." I chirp back, "Just a friend of his."

There a light bulb that appears above her head. "You're the friend that Tsu-kun was snatched for dinner by, right? Two weeks ago, yes?"

I go to nod but Tsuna steps in front of me. "It was one of her friends. Stop pressuring her Kaa-san!" He turns back to me and pushes me back out the door.

"Bye Kaa-san, I'll be back later!"

"Oh, Tsu-kun..."

The door shuts and he stares at me like i'm someone else. "I'm sorry about that! Kaa-san isn't usually like that. Speaking of Kaa-san, how is yours?"

I want to tell him I don't mind all of that. There's this look in his eyes that tells me no matter what I say it won't change his perception of me.

"Oh, she's fine. She's actually in awe of how I handle my paperwork. She often reads her books in the same room i'm doing paperwork in."

There that look is again. That disengaged look of his.

What's going on in his head?

I stretch as I stand at the base of the stairs.

Nana speaks up from the kitchen. "My Tsu-kun has always wanted a friend." I pause and look at her, staring into her coffee-brown eyes.

She smiles bitterly, "He tells me of these dreams he used to have. We've figured out there were memories of different women throughout time."

She tilts her cup of tea. "I managed to track down these women, although I haven't told Tsu-kun yet."

She takes a sip before beckoning me into kitchen. "Come, I have photos."

I walk into the kitchen and watch as she pulls out a lock box from the under the sink. A smile of self-loathing appears on her face as she explains "This used to have pictures of my husband in it. He... doesn't come home anymore, i'm afraid." she pops it open, and pulls out a picture of...

First?

"This is Honoka, the eldest woman."

Ho...noka...

Harmony flower?

That's a lot like my own name, meaning relaxing flower.

"Your names are really similar. I think that's just adding onto the issue." Nana says, sifting through some documents.

"Tsu-kun... Tsu-kun thinks all of these women are reincarnations of Honoka, you included. He sees you as Honoka, not Yasuka."

"..."

"You knew something was off, didn't you?"

I open my mouth, and close it, nodding before looking at the ground.

Nana gently cups my chin and raises it. "I-I don't want to scare you off. Tsu-kun's just been so happy with you around." Tears form in her eyes. "He's-He's been so happy-" she sobs and I lean forward to wrap my hands around her neck. She, in return, hugs me tightly.

"He's- He's just been so, so different lately..." she sniffles, pulling back from the hug but keeping her arms on me. "He's the Tsu-kun I used to know and love... It's all because of you too... Please, please don't leave him. I-I don't think he would be able to handle it."

I smile at Nana, "I have no plan to, Nana-san."

Nana stands up fully, laughing softly whilst wiping away her tears. "Call me Mama, you've earned it."

I grin, "Okay then Mama." I grow mischievous. "Do you mind if I splash Sawada-san with water to wake him up?"

She giggles, closing the case. "Go right ahead. My lousy son needs that time of wake up call. I wink and head out of the kitchen so I can splash Tsunayoshi.

Now, how to resolve this...

I feel Luca's annoyance rise. "You mean to say, your fucking bonded, sees some other lady when he looks at you."

I look away, sipping my tea. "Yeah."

He smashes his fist through the table, an enraged smile on his face. "Sorry about that." He huffs and begins to pace the room.

"You don't even care do you?" He says pissed yet exasperated.

I frown. "I do care. But..."

I stare at my reflection in the tea. "It's not like I can solve the problem directly. He won't talk to me about it. Besides," I push the box out on the table, Nana having given it to me upon me and Tsunayoshi's return from our run. "The other lady is a Peace. The First to be precise."

Luca freezes.

He turns back to me, shocked out of his anger. "The other Peaces?"

I nod. "Yuh-huh."

Luca growls.

I sip on my tea. "Can't believe you were a mechanic in your past life."

He stares up at me with a vaguely challenging look. "What about it?"

"Did you end up wrecking any of your customer's car out of rage?" He twitches at this.

"Nice try at distracting me. The answer is no." I watch as he calms down.

"I usually don't get this angry. I'm just a little stressed." He says, still pacing around a bit.

I glance out the window. "Because of Chiyoyuki?"

"Yes, because of Chiyo-" he cuts himself off, turning to me slowly.

"... You know of Chiyoyuki."

I stare at him, conflicted. "I had to hear of her from Hibari-sama."

"The big man?"

"Kyoya's father."

He looks away from me with a guilty expression.

Softly, I begin. "When were you going to tell me?"

"I.. I don't know. When it was relevant."

I stand up, rage pouring into me. "When she's relevant!?" I shout, "When it would finally be relevant I could've been dead."

I raise my hand up to the side, "Everyone we know, could be dead."

I purse my lip and walk around the table to him. "I have spent this entire life time wondering why I, you, everyone died! And why we are now children having to grown up again..."

I look him in the eyes, recoiling a bit at the fear in his eyes. I look down and step back. "I knew i had to do something. Someone one told me so." I look away, laughing deprecatingly. "You know what? I should just leave. I'm sorry for yelling at you Luca. I'm... I'll be back, I promise." I jump and slide over the table, opening the window. "The combination to the box is 34-23-00. Have a good day Luca. I'm sorry for yelling at you."

With that, I hop out the window.

I ignore the cold as I curl up, staring at the sea. I feel Oodako latch onto my waist and Keiman nudge my wrist.

"I'm being overdramatic, I know."

"You aren't." Verde says, scribbling whatever in his notebook.

Skull looks at me from his place on my shoulder. "I just..."

"I... I had life before this you know?"

"I had a job I loved, two adorable furbabies and a turtle at home. I may not have had a family to fall back on but I was happy. I had friends I could count on." I look up to prevent the tears from leaving my eyes. "They were all stripped away, so I could kill someone. I don't understand why it had to be me. Surely they could've picked someone else?"

"I used to be full-sized." Verde begins, and I interrupt him. "I know Verde. But I know how to return you back to your body. While things won't be the exact same as they were before for you, you are still in place and with habits and opportunities familiar to you.

"I'm not shitting on you, all of the Arcobalenos have been through a lot, but..."

I reach up for the sky, feeling the hopelessness and rage choke me.

"Your home has changed. My home... it's... gone."

I fall onto my back. "It is so close b-but, it's so far and I can't reach it. I want to go home Verde... I-I'm not over home... This place isn't the same... I-I am not the same." I turn to him, tears blurring my eyes.

"I'm not sure this place could ever replace home, even with Evelyn and Soren here. I feel so lost Verde. I don't want to be lost..."

I finally let out a sob, and notice through my tear Verde looking more adult-like...

His eyes narrowed in pity as he reaches over and pats my head. I let the rest of my sobs escape me, feeling so free but so trapped. Skull rubs my back. "I-I feel so selfish saying all of this..."

A surprising mature voice answers my own. "You aren't... You are just being a cloud." I wipe my tears and really look at Verde. I stare at him in a toddler's body.

Skull speaks up from the side of me "You're still in mourning, while the others are mostly if not over their deaths."

I wipe my tears, and curl back up, returning to my starting position.

A hand, not belonging to either Skull or Verde caresses my head, and I look behind me to see chilling blue eyes.

"I hope you don't mind, but I called him here." Skull says, noticing my confusion.

I turn back to him and narrow my eyes. He looks mega familiar.

He smiles, with sparkles and flowers everywhere, light just emanating from his face. He's got this otherworldly feeling coming from him and it didn't prepare me at all for what he was going to say.

"It's a wonderful to finally get to speak with you, my daughter."

I don't like this chapter but I don't think I could best it.

Also, I'm sorry about this being late. Last chapter I boasted about how I had this chapter already written, and somethings have happened and i'm not exactly feeling as well I usually do.

That being said, thank you for reading this and please review. They make me really happy and it brightens up my day a lot.
