Fratellanza

When I woke up, there was no evidence Xanxus had visited me last night. The spot he previously occupied was cold, meaning he must have left hours ago. I shot my alarm clock a look. It was ten in the morning, and I had to pee very badly.

I got up, my legs seemingly having more strength than yesterday. I was just done with my business when I heard a voice in the hallway.

Arro was in front of my bedroom door.

"Are you sure you should be up?" he asked immediately when he saw me.

"I'm better than yesterday," I replied blankly before my stomach growled. He snickered.

"Come, I'll make breakfast." He turned me around and led me to the kitchen, his hands on my shoulders.

Kyoya was there, sitting quietly and staring at the table. There was no visible wound on him, just dark circles under his eyes and a frown. Quietly, as Arro started to make scrambled eggs, I sat down in front of him. I wanted to say something, but nothing was coming. If I apologized for Xanxus' actions, he would just get mad at me.

A metallic sound caught my attention. I looked down at the table, Kyoya's hand retreating hastily and leaving a sadly familiar object on the table. I grabbed it and gulped with difficulty, Arro's movement slowing down.

I turned it around in my hand. It was exactly like in my memories. Silver, big, with a cloud on top and an immeasurable power almost begging to be let out.

"They cleaned it," was the only thing I could say, even if I had seen the half version of the ring before. "The last time I saw it as it is now, it was covered in my blood." I put it down and gave it back to Kyoya, sliding it on the table. "Thanks, now keep it until everything's over."

"Hn." He put it in his pocket.

It was dead silent when Arro gave us the food and we ate. Once it was over, I got up and left to take a needed shower and put on some clean clothes, dark blue skinny jeans, a burgundy long-sleeved shirt and my black leather jacket. My black combat boots were in front of my door. I grabbed my phone, wallet, sunglasses and cigarettes before leaving my room.

The boys were waiting for me in front of my door.

"What?" I asked them, a cigarette already between my lips.

"When we got here, Dino was upset and left. Do you know why?" Arro asked me in a serious tone. I took the cigarette between my fingers.

"Xanxus came last night." Arro widened his eyes and Kyoya frowned even harder. "We talked, it was awkward and he said he wouldn't leave until someone came. Dino might have seen him leaving."

"Did he...do anything to you?"

It was a logical question. Xanxus was the 'bad guy'. Yet, I couldn't help but get irritated by Arro's question. I couldn't picture Xanxus...hurting me.

"Nothing. Just...if he wins, I'm leaving back to Italy with him."

"WHAT!?" Arro cleared up his throat. "I mean, he can't just do that!" I shrugged.

"Where are you going?" Kyoya asked me. I shrugged again.

"I need some fresh air." He stepped forward and grabbed my cigarette before breaking it between his fingers.

On this note, he left the apartment.

"Superbi is awake, apparently. Do...Do you want to come with me?" I nodded slowly.

Xanxus was the bad guy. Tsunayoshi had to win, he had to pursue what Federico couldn't do himself.

As I walked silently next to Arro, a new cigarette lit up between my lips, I ignored the awkwardness between us. I really wanted all of this to end and finally understand what Xanxus was looking for in this conflict. There was also that dream about…

"Lulu...are you okay?" I blinked at him in response and he struggled to find his words. "I mean...I know I've been distant since the Rain battle but I'm not mad at you you know and...I don't like knowing you're hiding things from me. I get it if you don't want to say everything to me, but if it's about your health then..." As he went on, I just stared at him and watched him walking in front of me. I quickly finished my cigarette.

He wasn't mad at me.

"And sure I can't stand that Xanxus but you have nothing to do with it so...shit!" he screamed when I jumped on his back. My arms firmly secured around his neck, he slipped his arms, wrist now ninety-percent repaired, under my knees. "What was that for?"

"Thanks for not being mad at me," I whispered to him, resting my cheek against his shoulder. "It was frustrating not knowing what to do. I'm relieved now." He sighed. There was a comfortable silence for a few seconds.

"Lulu, do you like Hibari as more than a friend?" he asked me suddenly and I froze.

Wait what?

"Where does that come from?"

"I don't know, you're...close. When I asked him before his fight I seriously feared for my life."

"...you asked Kyoya if he liked me?" I said quietly. He nodded. "I...I don't know, it's Kyoya."

"So it's not a 'no'?"

"I've never liked someone before, how do I know if I like him?"

"Hum...you don't want someone else to take your place in their life. A lot of people get jealous when someone they see as a threat get too close. You also want to protect them and want them to be happy above all." I pursed my lips.

Except for me, Kyoya didn't really have girls our age around him. But I did want to protect him from Xanxus' schemes though...

In any case, if I were to have...feelings for the jerk...it would make everything complicated. Don't get me wrong, Kyoya meant a lot to me, it was a dear friend and because of that I didn't want to risk our friendship for something as volatile as love.

"And ninety-nine percent of the time, you find them attractive, checks them out, want them to notice you and ultimately you want to bang them." I sweat dropped. Seriously though...I knew sex was a part of a relationship, but Arro just said it so casually… "You got sex-ed Lulu, right?"

"Hum? Feng took care of that when I was in China. Between puberty and that, she was the only woman around who could do it and would do it, Fon didn't seem to be too keen about explaining this particular topic to me." He snickered and I jumped down once we were in front of the clinic.

I walked with him to Superbi's room. When we entered, Dino was sitting in a chair next to the bed where the wounded was finally awake. He looked like a mummy, but he was awake.

"And he lived after all," I commented blankly, getting us the adults' gaze on us. Dino got up and pointed his finger at me. "That's not good."

"You're right, we need to have a talk about your guest last night." I averted my eyes and watched Arro inching closer to his cousin, who wasn't looking at him.

"Wow, you tried to kill yourself and feel ashamed, is that why you can't look at me now?" Superbi stubbornly remained quiet.

My best friend's hands twitched. In the blink of an eye, he stole his cousin's pillow and started to suffocate him.

"Arro!" Dino screamed, moving him back from Superbi. I casually removed the pillow from his face, pleased by the fact he had turned red from the lack of air.

"Come on, if he wants to die this badly then I'll gladly kill him myself! What, he left me behind as if I was nothing to follow some guy he synchronized with when said guy couldn't care less about him dying!? If your Sky doesn't allow you to lose a fight then they shouldn't be followed at all!"

"Don't speak when you don't know," Superbi rasped as he could, but it just made Arro turn scarlet in anger.

"You really don't give a fuck about anyone who was in your life before you joined these assholes, do you!?" Superbi frowned a little, staring at his cousin. However, he didn't try to defend himself.

I knew why. Three years of friendship with Arro taught me when angry, it was useless to try to say anything until he got everything off his chest.

"Fuck Superbi, I wasn't the only waiting outside the surgery room! Dino and Luciana too but you clearly don't give a flying fuck about it! You don't give a fuck about how Dino could have not helped you when it wasn't Yamamoto who lost, or how Lulu already saw two people close to her die and had to go through it again because of you! For...do you know how Dad would be disappointed in you for that?" 'Do you know how it was for me to see someone of my family basically die in front of my eyes again' was left unsaid, but everyone in the room understood it.

Arro's watery eyes were enough to understand that. Calmly, I walked over to him and took his hand in mine.

"Tsunayoshi's side now has the Mist and Cloud rings too, just so you know," I stated before leaving the room with a shaking Arro.

I took him to the roof and he screamed in anger.

Minus the murder attempt, it went pretty good. Superbi couldn't ignore Arro knowing he couldn't move period.

"Feeling lighter?"

"Yeah, but not better."

"You won't until he apologizes for real." I heard the door opening and closing behind me. "Now it's my turn." I turned around and faced Dino. "Okay, I didn't invite him, he found where I lived and climbed through my window. It was awkward, and in the end he said he'd stay until someone came back because I was still resting and alone before he got there."

"I know," he replied with a frown, but not for me. "I just didn't like what he implied before he left."

"Huh?"

"Something along the lines of how I wasn't taking good care of you when you had health issues and that he would take you with him the moment he could."

"Huh...that. Yeah, if he wins. I guess we bet about that last night, after he tucked me in."

"Ana, what the...wait, he tucked you in?" I nodded.

"Yeah, I wasn't expecting it either but it's probably something he used to do before he left and he did it automatically." I couldn't blame him for being shocked. Xanxus didn't come across as a guy...who would take care of someone. My brother ending up sighing, running a hand in his hair.

"Are you feeling better at least?"

"Yeah, I can walk just fine and Arro cooked breakfast. It was big."

"You have to win," I told Tsunayoshi the moment I saw him leaving school. He was taken back.

"...sure?"

"No seriously, if you don't Xanxus's is taking me with him in Italy and I care too much about being a smart ass to let the VARIA's stupidity rubbing off on me." He widened his eyes and Reborn landed on his head out of nowhere.

"He's not allowed to do that." I shrugged.

"He doesn't care, and frankly it's kinda scary to think about. Tsunayoshi, forget I'm related to him and beat him. Not just for me, but for all of you guys' sake and...probably for his own too..." I trailed off in a whisper.

The day went by slowly, and 11:00 p.m was around the corner. It was probably 10:45 p.m when I went on the roof of one of the school buildings, my sunglasses on just in case.

It wasn't long before two pinked-haired women appeared behind me.

"What, I can't watch from here? I have a better view," I told them without looking at them. Most of all, I'd be able to see when Fon would arrive.

"No, you can stay." I frowned and turned my head to look at them.

"Can I now? Why?"

"In order to check the compatibility, the actions you will take tonight will be observed," the other said.

"Compatibility with what?" I asked coldly. Did it have something to do with my dreams? It had to, me being here and not with the others who were starting to show up to… 'act' if needed was too much of a coincidence.

"It is not the time yet." On this, they both left me alone on the roof and I hid in mist.

Whatever, I took my binoculars and started watching when Tsunayoshi was thrown in a wall by Xanxus.

Even from my spot, I could feel the heavy and thick Sky Flames in the air. Be it the calming and soothing effect of Tsunayoshi's flames, or the raw power and wilderness of my brother's.

Oh, and the Guardians were all down where their battles had happen. I kept my eyes on Kyoya, but also on Lambo. He had an oxygen mask on his face and whatever they had could not do the kid any good. Hopefully, someone would get up quickly.

As Xanxus and Tsunayoshi kept on fighting, and I couldn't help but feeling pride swelling inside of me at the sight of my brother using twin guns, I went back to watching Kyoya.

Who was standing. He was slow and stumbled to the pole. Yet, he totally wrecked it and I caught a glimpse of something shining under the moonlight falling on the ground. He went to it and...oh, they had a wristband and he put the ring in it. Immediately, his face relaxed immensely.

I must have missed information by being there by myself.

As Kyoya did his thing, helping others by...not really helping them I guess? Whatever, I went back to the roof where Lambo, and now the standing Levi guy, were. He raised his...umbrella, but dynamites were thrown his way.

I sighed in relief. Lambo was an annoying kid, sure, but a kid nonetheless and he shouldn't be killed tonight. Hayato came right in time, so he should be fine. I didn't know him very well, we didn't really speak to each since we met but I knew he would make sure the kid was safe.

However, as the fight progressed, my heart skipped a beat when Tsunayoshi's flame started flickering. I saw it, I knew it was what he trained for but...why did Xanxus look so much angrier out of sudden?

How did he even know it was the Zero Point Breakthrough?

His attacks were now more violent, not giving Tsunayoshi any second to focus.

I needed to have faith in Tsunayoshi though, I couldn't help him, no one could. However, when he started to fall, unconscious, to the ground, I put the binoculars away and rubbed my eyes behind my glasses.

Federico...would this conflict happen if you were still here? Would Xanxus have listened to you?

Would he be...so angry and in so much pain? Why didn't his men try to stop him? It was obvious the thing guiding him to do this was not...right. Were they scared of him? I couldn't blame them if it was the case but…

My brother was in pain, had been for years, and this conflict could break him. I knew it, it could…

He landed smugly in front of Tsunayoshi, whose flames were now gone. It was barely for a second before his flames came back even brighter than before.

I clenched my hands hard on my binoculars when Xanxus was sent in a building, destroying the wall, but then...something strange started to leak from him and his scars...spread onto his face.

Thanks to the giant screens, I could hear everything.

"They let you come here?" I asked Fon when he landed next to me.

"I was quite surprised too." I shot a look at the Cervello, or more like toward the spectators area. They were strange.

I frowned behind my binoculars. It seemed like there was something new with the spectators. Whatever.

Arro blinked at Dino in astonishment.

"She's not with you?" The blond Boss shook his head.

"No, I thought she'd be with you."

That fight was a mess. Arro wasn't surprised at all Hibari, that stupid force of nature, destroyed the pole and took the ring. From the moment Luciana asked him to win that Cloud ring, and the Japanese boy knowing what it meant to her, there was no way he would let it fall between the wrong hands.

Luciana was...confused when he asked her if she liked Hibari, and frankly, he expected it. She could be very clueless at times. Hibari...Arro was sure he was not clueless at all, but he didn't want to say or do things that would make him seem like a 'herbivore'.

However, Clouds were stupidly possessive. When Arro asked him if he liked Luciana, he just ignored him. So when he stated it wouldn't bother him if he asked her on a date, he turned around with fury in his eyes before trying to bite him to death.

In any case, this fight was a mess. Surprisingly, none of the kids died yet. He had expected at least one of them to die in a fight, but they were all...surprisingly tough.

Well, they were played by the Arcobaleno's illusions, but it pretty normal considering...the Arcobaleno factor. Mukuro, and damn Luciana had a creepy childhood friend for whom she risked everything yet he was an apparent asshole, managed against Mammon, but he was exhausted afterward.

He was the one who carried Chrome all the way to the clinic. Actually, even if Luciana had been tasked months ago to 'take care' of the new Guardians, he had been the one going to all of the battles.

He didn't even want to think about how much he would be screamed at once back in Chicago.

"That's...impossible..." he heard his cousin mumbling in shock. Arro raised a brow at him and widened his eyes at the screen. Xanxus was on it, his hands frozen.

Frozen?

Arro felt cold shivers running up and down his spine, a familiar, yet usually dormant, feeling in the pit of his stomach. He could feel Luciana's Sky Flames suddenly flaring in the air, the aloof Cloud ones now in the background.

She was getting angry at Xanxus being treated that way. He was feeling it as if she was right next to him and a part of him wondered if Alaric could feel it too, no matter what was currently going on in Italy. However, there was nothing he could do to help her. Yes, he was a Rain, but to Luciana, he was a Storm more than a Rain and trying to use his flames would do more bad than good.

He could only hope she would not resent Sawada after the fight.

As the fight continued, Sawada now appearing as the winner, Arro was torn between pitying the guy for still fighting an obvious lost fight and maybe, maybe seeing the determination that might have drawn his cousin years ago. The way he managed to get a little bit of his Flames out of the ice after bruising his thighs had something...admirable about it.

Then Sawada decided to freeze him entirely, mocking him by not even being in HDWM.

Xanxus screamed in agony.

"Stop it!" Superbi screamed as well on their side, unable to move from his wheelchair.

Arro almost winced when he felt Luciana's Flames, until then angry, being overwhelmed for a second by her Flame of Wrath. It lasted only for a second though.

He listened quietly his cousin explaining what happened during 'The Cradle Affair', and suddenly the Lussuria guy attacked out of nowhere.

Of course the illusion was good. Of course Sawada was exhausted, but he didn't fall for the illusion. The Prince took his ring though, and Mammon had all of the other ones. The ice was melted and Xanxus fell forward.

They put the rings at their place…

...and they not so kindly rejected him.

Arro blinked.

Xanxus and Luciana had Vongola blood, even Iemitsu said so.

"That's right, the Ninth and I aren't related!" the VARIA Boss screamed.

Arro knew, the second his cousin's voice was on speaker and that Xanxus taunted him by saying he knew nothing, that he had to do something. He could not care less about Xanxus.

But Luciana hated when her personal life was put on display by others and he had no idea if Superbi would talk about her.

"Now cousin, you should care about your family business before others'," he told him idly, pressing his hands on his mouth. Superbi tried to bite him, and even if he could feel the warm liquid running down his hand, he kept them where they were.

"Agree," a cold, feminine voice said. Arro blinked at the screen and smirked.

For someone who didn't like being under the spotlight, Luciana did know how to make an entrance.

Dino facepalmed.

"God dammit she was watching from somewhere else, of course..." the Cavallone muttered.

Yet, as he watched his baby sister standing between Tsuna and Xanxus, standing taller than he remembered her to be, he remembered what Iemitsu said during the trial.

External Advisor. The Ninth had planned for her to succeed Iemitsu one day, become the Number Two of the most powerful Family in the world.

She was not moving, standing protectively between the two Sky. The battle was over, the rings rejected Xanxus, so she was allowed to intervene. As Xanxus got up, with great difficulty, Dino gulped.

He wouldn't dare raise a hand against his own sister, would he?

She still didn't move, words flying from her mouth smoothly yet coldly.

"Who's that?" Squalo muttered with wide eyes, Arro's hands slacked around him. Dino shot his old friend a look.

"She grew up Squalo, she stopped being a child long ago."

"No Luciana!" Fon reprimanded me when the first flame licked the tip of my finger. I started, almost breaking my illusions.

"Sorry, it's just..." Xanxus was frozen. Again. He had that expression.

Again.

And I was watching.

Again.

I knew he had to lose, but I couldn't help the anger I felt against Tsunayoshi. I kept repeating in my head he didn't have to go that far, that he didn't have to be the reason my brother, my poor already broken brother was in so much pain again.

But I knew it was necessary. Xanxus wouldn't have backed down. I was shaking when I saw him hurting himself to free his hands from the ice, I knew he wouldn't back down.

He desperately wanted something he would never have, almost as if it was the only thing that…

I widened my eyes, barely aware Mammon and Belphegor were next to their Boss.

Xanxus was adopted without knowing he was. He grew up thinking he was Timoteo's son, a rightful heir and it was probably something very important to his identity. He wasn't just a street kid but basically Mafia royalty. Then it was just stripped away from him, making him a kid someone important pitied.

I put my binoculars away and hid my eyes, pressing my hands against them behind my glasses.

Federico told me I had to see it. My worth. I saw it when Dino and I had that talk on Dad's grave.

Federico told me Xanxus had to see it too.

Could it be...after he discovered the truth, he thought he never stopped being a street brat and desperately tried to grasp something that would prove him it wasn't the case?

I was sure he resented Timoteo, but maybe he thought...his title was the only thing that got him where he was and nothing else. Maybe he wanted to prove himself he could be someone, that he wasn't just…

I had a lump in my throat.

When you're adopted at an age where you can remember your life before, you tended to put pressure on yourself. I did, but always knew I was adopted.

The pressure...fell on Xanxus' shoulders out of nowhere.

I pressed a hand against my mouth.

Oh my God, Xanxus…

I wanted to rip Timoteo to pieces, and a part of me wanted to do the same to Tsunayoshi right now. A part of me wanted to get down there and burn him to ashes.

I had this burning desire to get down there, take my brother and try to fix him as much as I could. Why was I feeling this so much though? It was almost as if I had already seen that, or if I had witnessed it silently before.

"Luciana?" Fon called me, concerned. I looked down at him. He was right next to me, his small hand on my knee.

My illusions…

"The spectators...they're trapped I think. The civilians..."

"There was unexpected help on the way, I let him deal with them," he explained quickly, still worried. "Are you okay?" I gulped and slowly nodded.

"Yeah I...he's just...I see myself a few months ago and I hate how powerless I am."

A flash of Mom's empty and scared jade eyes went through my mind and I smirked bitterly. Was it genetic? Was it genetic the way the Mafia was fucking up our minds and lives? Was my father the only one who handled it by being a bastard or had he lost it long ago too?

What kind of fucked up family was that? A mother in a psychiatric hospital, a father who did despicable things to so many people, a son adopted and frozen by his adoptive father because he wanted to be someone and a daughter who was ready to spend the rest of her life in prison because she didn't want people to see her die a dog's death?

"Breath," my master instructed me, keeping the inhalator in my mouth.

Breath in, breath out.

Breath in, breath out Luciana.

Xanxus was unfrozen and fell harshly on the ground. The rings were placed yet…

I repressed the urge to curl up on myself when Xanxus screamed in agony and fell.

I got up the second he said he wasn't related to the Ninth.

"Now cousin, you should care about your family business before others'," Arro said and I jumped down.

"Senpai?" Takeshi mumbled in my back.

"Agree," I stated, ignoring him. Xanxus' breath was labored and his eyes exhausted, yet he was staring at me. I peeked over my shoulder, at Tsunayoshi and his gang.

Kyoya was on the side, leaning against the wall of a building, but they were all here, surrounding their Boss.

"Good job Tsunayoshi, you won. Now CEDEF is taking over, you can rest."

"Senpai..." he replied, but nodded.

"It's not over!" Xanxus roared, getting up. I blinked behind my glasses, surprised he could stand but my face remained blank.

"The rings rejected you Xanxus, you won't be the Tenth. It's over."

"Shut up!" he barked.

"If you try to touch a hair of their heads, I won't stay here and watch. I am acting in Sawada Iemitsu's name, as he asked me before he left for Italy. I have to say you made quite a mess, I'm impressed."

"Ushishi~, she's annoying. Can I kill her?" I smirked.

"I would kill you before you make a move, Prince Charming." He froze at that.

"Bel?" He pointed his finger at me.

"That's her! She's the one who infiltrated HQ months ago!" Mammon shot me a look and I shrugged.

"And you lost against my accomplice Mammon, what a shame." I gestured to Xanxus with my chin. "He didn't kill me when I was in his office."

"What the hell is going on…?" Hayato wondered in my back.

"Senpai is handling it...we can't interrupt," Tsunayoshi replied tiredly.

"The Boss wouldn't have let you go like that!" Belphegor screamed and I looked at Xanxus, who was focusing on standing on his legs. "You're nothing!"

"Am I now?" I whispered to myself. "Xanxus, the VARIA has lost. You're lucky I didn't attack when you broke the rules." He frowned. "It was Vongola business and had to remain that way. The moment you tried to kill civilians you gave us the permission to intervene." His brow twitched. "I have my way to find things."

He stayed silent and started walking toward me.

"Don't get any closer."

"Or what?" he snarled, his leg shaking under his weight.

"Or I won't hesitate to turn this into a fratricide."

"W….what?" Belphegor stuttered. Except for Tsunayoshi and Kyoya, the others seemed shocked.

Xanxus smirked painfully and kept walking.

"Seriously," I muttered. I raised my hand in front of me and my Flame was there. It made him stop in astonishment. "With the state you're in, it would be painfully easy to end you. Stand down." He wouldn't stop staring at my burning hand in...horror? It was not obvious but...he was almost disgusted by my Flame.

"I'm not losing!" he suddenly yelled, voice angrier than before as he glared daggers at me. "And you're not ordering me around Luciana!" I bared my teeth at him in frustration. What a…

"You lost! The trash you sent to erase any proof of this conflict are being dealt with at this instant and you have only two men who can fight!" I snapped at him. "Just stand down and admit you won't..." I caught the knives easily, breaking them with my Flame. I clicked my tongue and removed my glasses, ruby eyes glaring at the trash. "Seriously?"

"You're the only one who can fully fight," Mammon said, floating above us all. "No one will come and help you."

"That..." a Cervello started.

"Right, you hacked into the cage, didn't you? To keep them inside and kill them all after?" I looked at the Cervellos. "If they try to break through from the inside?"

"It will explode." Humph…

"It's a good thing I called him after all." At this, Mammon's pacifier started glowing.

"Wh..."

"Hell yeah kora!" I heard Colonnello yelling through the screen as a gust of wind ran through them and stopped on my shoulder.

"...Fon?" Mammon muttered. "What is going on in this town!?"

"I believe Luciana has already told you Mammon," Fon replied calmly. "Namimori is CEDEF and Triads territory. Shall you try to harm civilians in this town who has nothing to do with this conflict, then we will act according to it."

"Well said Master," I added. He jumped down and I adopted a defensive position.

Something changed in Xanxus' eyes. He was still moving forward, now barely a few meters from me, but the raging fire in his scarlet eyes seemed to die a little. All of the muscles in my body contracted on their own, apprehending his next move but his whole demeanor seemed to have lost its last strengths.

He raised his hand and I gulped, widening my eyes when it burned a bright orange. I was ready to strike but he did something that surprised me.

He firmly grasped my burning hand in his own, the Flames dying together.

"I've lost," he finally admitted quietly. "I've lost everything." I was taken back but didn't have the time to think about it that he fell on me, dragging me down with him.

I found myself on my bottom, Xanxus' upper body slumped against me, his head slowly slipping from my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders to keep him from moving.

"Hai cresciuto la mia cara sorellina*," he whispered in our mother tongue and instinctively, I buried my face in his hair, ignoring everything around us.

"Stop hurting yourself," I mumbled back, knowing he was already unconscious.

"Following the VARIA actions, they are disqualified. The Vongola Rings go to Sawada Tsunayoshi and his Guardians!" a Cervello said.

I was pretty sure Tsunayoshi finally collapsed and they all went around him, but I hugged my brother tighter.

I wanted to fix him. I wanted to take all of his pain away, show him how strong he was and it wasn't because he thought he was Timoteo's son. I wanted him to see how strong he was because of his own person.

"Ana..." I raised my head to Dino. "Sorry, if you're acting in Iemi..."

"Please get your men to take care of all injured people in the school. Take them to the clinic. As for the VARIA, we are gathering them together and keeping them under heavy surveillance until we get a word from Italy," I told him sternly. I still had a job to do, didn't I?

"And him?" I pursed my lips and looked at Xanxus, then Dino and Arro in front of me.

"Do you think you can carry him? I don't want..." He nodded and they both put one of Xanxus' arms on their shoulders.

"Geez the guy's heavy!" Arro hissed. I snorted and got up.

"We will keep an eye on the VARIA ourselves," Fon told me. I looked down and saw the three Arcobalenos looking up at me. I nodded.

"Thanks." Colonnello and Fon left first, Reborn staring at me.

"Good job Luciana."

"Tell Tsunayoshi that, I didn't fight."

"I told him, he was already asleep." A weak chuckle left my lips. "We'll talk. Later."

"Later," I agreed as I felt someone near us. Reborn left and joined his fellow Arcobalenos and I turned to Kyoya, who was limping pretty badly. "Clinic, now." He was pretty tired as well, so he didn't even try to resist when his arm was on my shoulders, my own around his waist as my free hand was around the wrist on my shoulders. "Good job tonight. Your job is done, we'll handle the rest."

"'We'?" he repeated as we left school. "CEDEF?"

"And Vongolas. I'm afraid I might be busy for the next few days."

"Hn," he replied quietly.

It was over though. They survived and now they could rest. Time for us to deal with the aftermath.

Fratellanza

*You've grown up dear little sister

Thanks for reading this chapter! Thanks to and AutumnBee124 their review!

Also, a little side note. Next week I'm moving. I'll be living in England for the next six months for my internship, I'm very excited about it, so I'l try to keep up with the updates, but if the schedule is a little off, it will most likely be the reason. I'll be working in a hotel, so my working hours can end late like they can end early.

Bye!
