Author's Note: This chapter includes a very brutal and violent physical assault between charcters. I wanted to include this warning for those that may have had similar trauma. There is a "START HERE" to avoid any relapses.

What happened next caught the two completely offguard when Haru unexpectedly felt a strong force roughly yanked her away from Hayato's side and in front of the aquarium.

A "what the h-" barely escapes his mouth right before he glances up only to see a silver haired male physically drags her by the arm.

Green eyes eventually took noticed that the stupid woman's escort freely allowed a complete stranger to roughly manhandle her with little to no regards to her being.

"Oi," His stern voice seems to earn the focus of the escort when he includes, "Isn't that against your familigia policy?"

The guard simply ignored his question and spoke the name of the strange male, "Yui-sama,"

'This is bad,' was the first thought that instantly crossed the 10th Storm Guardian's mind since he heard the rumors about the Ricotta's future boss Yui's temper.

"What do you think you're doing Spring?!" An expression of hate visibly surfaces to her face once she finally hears the nickname she comes to dread.

"Good thing I came to see if you were really with the Vongola Donna…" He said to no one in particular before his sights cut towards her, "And here you were trying to seduce the 10th Storm Guardian with your looks?"

"Bakadera is totally harmless." She inadvertently disclosed, which his grip tighten against the soft fabric that covered her arms.

Haru was audibly hissing from the pain of his unusually sharp nails sinking deeply in her skin while her lower body was dragging across the cobblestone pathway.

The silver haired male eventually came to an abrupt halt and easily pulled her directly in front of him.

Her back then collides against the bumpy tree trunk, which causes her to gasp for air as the intense shock from her spinal cord instantly courses through her body.

Before she could even open her mouth to protest, his vice like grip tightly snaps under her chin as he physically forces her to look up at him.

"What the fuck is your problem?" The future Ricotta heir angrily gritted through his teeth as he tightened the hold around her cheeks naturally puckered in like a fish.

"Answer me spring." He sternly demanded until he heard her discernibly articulated, "Nothing,"

Yui then releases his fingers from around her jaws, steps back and places one hand on his hip while the other smooths down stray silver strands away from his face.

On the other hand, Haru was gently massaging her cheeks with her fingers while privately thinking, 'What is his problem?'

"You had me nervous there Spring…getting close to someone that isn't me." He calmly states until he audibly overhears, "Bakadera is stupid."

'Why is he so worried a…' A sharp intense pain from her abdomen area quickly brought her out of her thoughts.

"How dare you utter another man's name in front of me so causally?!" The male sternly reprimands her as she softly clutches her stomach.

"I started to notice that you've grown pretty brazen around the Vongola that you think you can defy me." The Ricottta heir was suddenly alleging before swiftly kneeing her in the stomach causing her to double over in pain.

A held breath finally escaped his lips before he promptly demanded, "Get up Spring."

Her lungs desperately burned for the intake of air until she felt a kick that instantly riveted her from her semi-conscious state as she repeatedly heard behind each attack, "Get up Spring."

The woman then attempts to use the tree truck as leverage when she feels the sensitive follicles of her hair being yanked and woody bark against her back once again.

A bright glint from her left instantly caught her attention when she silently noted something shiny yet sharp was now gently pressed against her skin.

'A knife?!' The brunette fearfully thought once she realized what object was presently in his hand.

Off of pure instinct, she surprisingly manages to knock it out of his hand while she anxiously considers, 'I'm not going to die by this creep's hand.'

Yui swiftly reared back and punched her on the right side of her face in which her body easily crumpled over like a balled up piece of paper.

Red eyes was closely watching spring wearily laying on her side with one of her hands now covering her teary wet face as she attempts to recover from the attack to her face.

A sadistic thought abruptly passed through his mind once he located the knife on the ground and a sensation of dominance caused his ego and pride to swell not to mention another part of his anatomy.

The male roughly tugged a sleeve down to reveal the woman's delicate unmarred skin as a thrill from anticipation repeatedly surged throughout his body.

Haru soon felt a cool breeze ghosted over her skin, which prompted her to glance downward to see her upper torso was now visibly exposed to the silver haired bastard's greedy eyes.

Dread was soon creeping through her mental while feeling and listening to the sound of fabric easily ripping from the sharp cutting motions of the knife.

A grunt of irritation about her "stupid kimono" bought her some much need time from the inevitable.

She was trying to move her legs albeit painful before feeling pressure on them because her assailant was presently locking them within his own pair of legs.

The brunette was soon out of options and quietly prayed to the gods above for a much needed divine intervention.

A "finally" excitingly emits from the silver haired male once he finally reaches the last piece of fabric that separates him from his goal when he hears, "Lord Yui,"

"What?!" The young man was irritably snapping at Haru's escort bad timing.

"The Vongola familiga is looking everywhere for Miss Haru." He dutifully yet nervously disclosed, which earned a 'tsk' from the future heir.

Haru damned near sprung a leak from the prayed delay yet masked her emotions from her attacker.

Her body physically cringed when she heard, "I'll be back to finish up your punishment Spring."

Once the brunette assumes he was a good feet away, she attempts to stand to her feet but her legs feels extremely weak and numb.

A "damn it" was dryly emitting from her mouth as she was frantically thinking of the next plan of action until deciding that her best chance to escape was by crawling.

Once she steeled her nerves, her adrenaline switched from fight to flight mode.

'Haru's going to live.'

START HERE

Hayato never felt as utterly useless and disappointed in himself as the right hand man to his boss did he did at this present moment.

He was on the receiving end of by far the worse telling off in his many years as a Mafioso.

There were few words exchanged between him, the Boss and his Donna rather it was their physical demeanor that spoke volumes. "How could you let her out of your sights? You know what they'll do to her now."

Add that to his growing lists of regrets that was somehow revolving around a stupid brunette girl always speaking or answering in third person. Yet, she was a human being that deserved to be treated as one.

His green eyes were catching the sight of a stray cat eagerly licking at a hand that was haphazardly sticking out from a shrub.

A surge of fear was coursing through his body at the simple thought of: what if?

There was something compelling him to move forward in order to properly investigate what was hiding behind the greenery.

The cat immediately glared and hissed at him in a fashion similar to his box weapon, Uri, but even the cat's sharp claws could not stop him in his approach.

What he saw next would permanently engraved itself in his memory banks and instantly jumped to his number one listed regrets not as a Mafioso but as a man in general.

His green eyes beheld a semi-nude brunette woman whose kimono was nearly ripped and cut to shreds along with visible cut marks that littered her legs and thighs covered by dried blood.

The sight vehemently repulsed him that rage instantly built at the sheer audacity of her attacker to enact a vile act such as this.

He swiftly shrugged out of his jacket, promptly covered her exposed upper half and carefully picked her up within in his arms.

Her now battered face was the last straw for Gokudera Hayato, who solemnly vowed to handle the bastard that purposely defiled the stupid woman against her will.

His acute hearing was soon picking up a voice saying a single word that would repeatedly echoing throughout his brain. "Yui,"

Due to the nature of Haru's injuries and respect that was drilled in to him to have for a woman and her body, Hayato decided to avoid the main walkway and remained concealed behind the stalls and booths.

The silver haired bomber was extremely careful with each step forward, especially once the woman finally passed out from exhaustion and injuries that bastard left her with on her body

He was lost in his thoughts about revenge that he did not hear his name until he finally reached the parking lot.

"Can you watch over her?" His voice was filled with animosity mixed with concern.

Kyoko swiftly approached him, carefully maneuvered the jacket towards her sights only to cover her mouth and audibly gasped at the grizzly sight before her.

Tsuna was watching his wife suddenly bursting in to tears at the mere sight of her unconscious friend.

"Can we provide her sanctuary?" Hayato solemnly questions as he steps closer to the SUV and waits for someone to open the door.

A once over was all it took as Tsuna pulled the car door open, which earned a nod of appreciation from his right hand man.

His gaze soon took note of his wife, who dried her eyes, smacked her face with the palms of her hands and took a deep breath.

'That's my Kyoko-chan,' The Vongola Boss admiringly thinks since this and any another events that goes on in the mafia world would have any normal person flee for the hills.

"And just where the hell do you think you're taking spring?" A masculine voice was irritably needling after watching them carefully placing Haru inside of a vehicle and closing the door.

Tsuna abruptly felt an intense output of flames from the left of him as he inwardly noted larger visible flames from his companion's ring.

"She belongs to the Ricotta Familga and under my personal care." He boldly declares completely unaware of the tension that thickens the air around him.

"So excuse me while I go retrieve my property…" Yui confidently proclaimed as his fingertips barely grazed the door handle when he abruptly felt pressure applied around his hand.

"You're touching Vongola property." Hayato was making know while deliberately bending his finger backwards earning a squealing noise from the male.

A scoff along with the claim, "You can dish it out but can't take it, pathetic."

The brunette decided to intervene before his right hand mercilessly killed the future heir to the Ricotta Familiga and potentially sparked another senseless and bloody war.

"We decided that it would be best to remove Haru-san from a potentially life threatening situation." The 10th Vongola Boss calmly claims as he merely places his hand over Hayato's as a signal for him to release.

"She owes a debt that must be repaid." Yui was relaying after tending to his now sore fingers before opening his mouth only to see Sawada Tsunayoshi in his Hyper Dying Will mode.

"I would've hope that we settled this peacefully without violence…especially since a precious irreplaceable life fights for her survival." His voice remained steady even though the output of his flame betrayed his true emotion.

A 'tsk' then a tap of his hand sent the SUV on its way while the rest of the Vongola immediately converges around Tsuna only to hear. "You've officially made an enemy of the Ricotta. You will face our wraith Sawada Tsunayoshi and Vongola especially the impotence of your right hand man."

"And you still suck on your mother's titty." Hayato easily counted only to feel a hand across the back of his head from his now goggled sister.

"Grow up," She properly reprimands him when he retorts, "He started it first."

"What happened?" Reborn's voice cuts through the ruckus since he observes his pupil in his Hyper Dying Will mode.

Bright orange eyes were blinking to reveal brown after dissipating his flames and declaring, "We'll have a family meeting once we're back at HQ."

'I wonder what has taken place between the Vongola and Ricotta?' The miniature hitman somberly wondered.
