I don't own KHR.

Tsuna had never had so much money in his pockets in his entire life. The man at the window wasn't kidding when he said he had a fortune. Because even though Tsuna had to compete with quite a few adults for the bills, there was still plenty of enough money for him to grab. And it also helped that the rich (now poor) man had thrown items like pens and staplers at the people that tried to push Tsuna out of the way. Apparently he appreciated Tsuna's gratitude.

In any case, Tsuna was certain that during the money shower he had grabbed, not one, but two one-hundred euros! He had at least two-hundred euros in his pocket! Two hundred euros would definitely be enough to save Kyoya! There will even be enough money left over to buy food and other things Tsuna's family needed! Once again, Tsuna was glad that he had listened to his intuition. Sure, he was going to be in trouble once he got back home but it all would be worth it once Kyoya starts getting better.

Now all he needed to do was find the nearest pharmacy (Ryohei taught him that word!), buy the medicine, and go home! So with a smile and a joyful bounce to his step, Tsuna started searching for a pharmacy as the sun was more than halfway through its descent. It didn't take him long to find a small red-brick one called Ricky's Drug Store. As soon as he saw it Tsuna raced inside, his smile growing when he saw all the different kinds of medicine inside.

"The medicine Kyoya needs must…wait. What do I need to get?" Tsuna asked himself, worry creeping into his young voice. Tsuna had been so excited to get medicine for his older brother that he never stopped what kind he needed to survive. The nine-year-old desperately thought hard about what his Mom gave him when he had the flu only to realize that he didn't know. He never thought to ask what he was taking; he only cared that he would get better soon so that he play in the park again. And now he was paying the price for it.

And to make matters worse, Tsuna remembered that he wasn't even sure what Kyoya had. It seemed like the flu, but if there was one thing Tsuna was certain about the sickness, it was that it was catching. And even though Tsuna and the others have been near Kyoya for the last week or so, they have yet to have gotten sick. So was it the flu, and Tsuna and the rest of his family have just been really lucky? Or was it something else that can be just as deadly?

"Hello there, how can I help you?" asked a kind deep voice. A bit startled, Tsuna flinched as he automatically looked upwards to find a tall, thin man with mousy brown hair and brown eyes.

"I…" stuttered Tsuna, not sure on what to say and because he wasn't the best with talking to strange grown up men face to face.

"Ah, don't be shy, I don't bite," assured the pharmacist (Ryohei also taught him that one) gently. Tsuna looked closely and found that the middle-age man's gentle smile seemed genuine and his intuition quietly whispered to him that he could be trusted. So Tsuna took a deep breath and thought over on what he should ask.

"I…my brother is sick and my Mom asked me to buy medicine for him. She's busy watching over him. May you please help me find it?" Tsuna partly lied, making sure to wear a small smile and make his caramel eyes go slightly wide. The adults (except for the most of the ones at the orphanage) seemed to be more willing to do what he asked or believe him more whenever he did it.

"Of course little one," accepted the pharmacist with a nod. Tsuna's cute weapon (as dubbed by Kyoya, Mukuro, and Takeshi) was victorious once again. "What is your poor brother sick with?"

"We…we're not sure," admitted Tsuna nervously. "We…thought it was just the flu, but the rest of us haven't gotten sick yet and he just keeps on coughing..."

"Has your Mom taken your brother to the doctor yet?" asked the man in a kind and concerned voice. Tsuna took a quick moment to think about what he should say next before shaking his head.

"No…but she's going to this afternoon," Tsuna answered, hoping that this would please the adult. Kyoya often muttered about how adults often poke their noses where it didn't belong if they have the slightest hint that something in their opinion wasn't right. Especially when it came to children. Tsuna wasn't sure if he could keep on lying if the adult kept questioning him about his 'Mom' and the 'doctor visit.' The brown-haired boy didn't have to worry long before the older man asked another question.

"And your Mom sent you here to get cold medicine?" Tsuna couldn't help but to let out a small sigh of relief. This was a question he could answer.

"Yep!" Tsuna exclaimed. The man then nodded.

"Well, I haven't seen your brother but it sounds like he might have pneumonia instead of the flu."

"A-Ammonia?" Tsuna squeaked out, fear clenching his heart with an icy fist. That sounded way worse that the flu! "Is Ky…my brother gonna to die?"

"Oh no no," assured the man quickly while trying to suppress what suspiciously looked like laughter. "Pneumonia is quite curable."

Before Tsuna could feel pure relief from that statement, the pharmacist continued.

"All your brother needs is some antibiotics from the doctor and he'll be good as new!" Tsuna felt his blood turn into ice and butterflies of anxiety fluttering crazily in his stomach. What was he supposed to do? Kyoya was dying but Tsuna knew that his big brother would rather die than let his family become separated. And that's what will surely happen if Tsuna let a doctor into the cave. But Tsuna really didn't want Kyoya to die…maybe if Tsuna just paid the doctor to keep his mouth shut with the money he just got…

"Of course, home or over-the-counter remedies will help too," added the pharmacist. And with that, Tsuna's frozen blood melted and the butterflies in his stomach calmed down. If what the pharmacist said was true, which Tsuna had a good feeling that it was, then they really didn't need a doctor. Kyoya was the strongest person he knew, and Tsuna was sure some regular medicine was all the help his brother needed to bite that illness to death. Not that anti…whatever the man said the doctor would give him.

"Oh thank goodness," Tsuna couldn't help but say out of relief and a smile. Things were still going to be okay after all.

"So, do you want me to show you where the cold medicine and the Tylenol are now?" asked the pharmacist with a warm smile. Tsuna nodded eagerly and before he knew it, he was following the nice man through the small but wonderful store.

Tsuna shivered as he clutched the plastic bag closer to him. After he brought the medicine (with some helpful suggestions from the pharmacist, whose name he found out was Tony), Tsuna immediately ran out of the pharmacy, wanting to get back home as soon as possible. In his haste and joy, the little boy didn't notice that the sun was setting and the air around him had a twilight glint to them. If he had, he would have taken the longer but much safer route. Not the quicker route that required him going through a narrow alley.

I was planning to make this chapter a bit longer/have a different ending but this ended up happening and...I think I like this better. Please tell me if you liked this chapter or not and I will update...probably sometime soon after I update I Can't Do This Again. So, hopefully before the end of January. In any case, please leave a review and have a good day/night!
