-place Italy time 2:34am-
-No one's pov-
Cold glowing amber eyes glare at the one's to blame for their loss, as those that remain stand beside him ready to fight and ready to die beside him, glowing amber eyes flicker towards the ice cold corpses of his Storm who is holding his Rain close even in death, 'Hayato... Takashi... i... we.. wont let them get away with what's been done' so with a battle cry he leads his family into battle.
Even though today was meant to be a day for joy and for family, they act like demons possessed ripping into enemy's left and right, ignoring beautiful decorations that make the church almost glow, ignoring the screaming-crying guests, ignoring the need to give the happy couple a proper burial on their wedding day, the only thing they do not ignore are the one's who are in front of them, the one's to blame for ruining this happy day, their flames scream in rage at the lost bonds even while their instincts purr at tasting the blood of those at fault.
-place Host Club time 4;44pm-
-No One's pov-
She isn't in best state of mind or health at the moment due to something that's been happening to her family since early morning and yet she can not save them and she knows this fact, because it is already to late.
But snapping out of her pain Haruhi still flinches at the fact her voice is more then a little fearful "Physical Exams!?" the twins grin like fox's while say together mockingly "how cute is our little Haruhi, afraid of the big bad physical exams?, because he doesn't want the whole school to know, that he..., is really a she?".
At the twins mocking words, Tamaki starts running around like a headless chicken, yelling something about protecting a princess, Honey and Mori share a amused look with one another watching the host king cry over nothing, and Kyoya just writes in his little dairy uncaring of the chaos going on around him.
Aleu whines in a pained manner laying her large head in Haruhi's lap, knowing full well the real reason for her partner's fear of tomorrows Physical Exams.
The guests arrive and for some reason Haruhi can't shake the feeling that something else is going to happen today, she has had this stabbing empty hollow feeling since about two in the morning and it has only gotten worse over the course of the day, she knows it is to late to save most of them.
Her gut feeling is right on the money, when Umehito appears in the room looking shaken pale and near having a panic attack, everyone watches Haruhi all but teleports to the man's side, using gentle hands to guide him towards her couch.
He doesn't fight his sky as she runs her hand though his messy blonde hair, he simply stares into glowing amber eyes while his sky try's to figure out what put him in this state to begin with, wondering if he can feel what has happened as well.
And jaws drop open in shock when Haruhi acts very much like a mother soothing their destressed child.
"shh... calm down take a few seconds and then tell me everything Umehito, is it Kirimi-Chan? or Chrome-Chan?".
After a few shaky breaths Umehito gently holds Haruhi's hand, as she continues to caress his cheek while he says hoarsely "it's Chrome.. please i.. i need to go, well you..?".
Her current guest's watch as a bitter pained smile appears on Haruhi's lips a soft gentle tone "of course Umehito, Kirimi-Chan is more then welcome to stay at the house, lord knows Dad loves having another grandchild to teach and spoil rotten, just be careful please...".
Haruhi trails off looking to be in grave amounts of pain from the loss of family, pain that she ignores in favor of placing a loving kiss on the feline's forehead.
Before allowing him to disappear in a fog of mist, glowing amber eyes look out the large windows towards the sky as dark clouds begin to gather, blocking out the sun.
she states in a rather earie dark tone of voice "a storm is brewing on the horizon, i wonder how more many well be lost by the time that the rain is done falling, ...already so many lost".
Everyone looks confused as to what the natural host means by those words, but Haruhi doesn't give any reason nor explains what just happened instead she returns to entertaining her guest's.
She didn't ask him to return to her, it would be wrong of her to ask such a thing from any of her family, let alone asking for her elements to promise to return alive, their world is cruel and people break and it is people who die when their broken beyond repair.
So Haruhi never asks them because she can't keep that promise ether, after all she is a broken hour glass still trying to tell the time.
-line break
-one hour later-
Tamaki looks worried about the fact Haruhi hasn't woken up from her nap, Aleu isn't in the room to help and Kyoya doesn't seem to be worried but the host king is still worried for some reason.
A scratching sound at the door brings Tamaki out of his worry filled daydream and the sound of sobbing wakes Haruhi up as she looks for who is crying, the twins open the door allowing Aleu to enter the room.
While the wolf is carrying a crying little girl by the back of her dress like one would a pup, the girl has long blonde hair in pig tails and blue eyes, wearing a pink dress with kitty paws prints on it.
Aleu carry's the girl without letting the host club even touch or take the child away, as she brings the girl to Haruhi who is fully awake due to the appearance of the crying child, whom is staring up at Haruhi with big blue glassy eyes.
A small fear filled voice sobs out while the girl reaches out for the natural hostess "Auntie Sky, i... i can't find Papa or Beelzenef" gently taking the destressed child into her arms, cleaning her face clean of tears.
"Your Papa left to go help your Mama, so your going to stay with Grandpa and i for a little while, Kirimi-Chan, while the two of them take care of family matters".
After a little while Kirimi stops crying "family matters..., does that mean Uncle Cloud and BlackFell are gonna help Mama and Papa instead of Aleu and you?" Haruhi chuckles fondly at the four year old's words, yet for some reason doesn't answer the question, she knows if he could have saved them, then he would have called by now.
Tamaki and the others finally decide to introduce themselves to the little girl, who shocks everyone into silence when she asks "Auntie Sky?, did Uncle Cloud give you a reverse harem for you birthday this year? is there debauchery here?".
The other host's can hear something inside Haruhi snap, upon hearing her niece say the word debauchery, along with Kirimi thinking that the love of Haruhi's life would allow her to have her own reverse harem as a birthday gift.
The hostess starts shaking her bangs over shadow her glowing amber eyes as she finally recalls how to speak words "w-who did you learn those words from Kirimi?" the little girl happily states that it was one of the new maids who would sometimes read her interesting manga when Papa or Mama aren't in Japan.
Upon watching an aura of pure murderous intent begin to appear around Haruhi after she learns who is to blame, Honey decides to entertain the little girl with Usa-Chan along with Tamaki who also helps with his teddy bear Kuma-Chan while the three blondes eat cake.
The twin's, Mori and Kyoya watch with growing worry, as the female hostess walks back and forth muttering curses in French under her breath thus making Tamaki blush badly at her use of French curse words, then suddenly she stops moving when she pulls out her phone and starts speaking in German.
"I need to go take care of some rat issue's at Umehito's place, can you come to the school and pick up Kirimi?" she waits just long enough for an answer before hanging up the phone.
About ten minutes later every host besides the dog demon cousin's are confused when a pretty lady with long red hair and golden eyes walks though the door.
Upon seeing the lady Kirimi smiles brightly as she runs towards the lady with a yell of joy "grandpa!, your here... but how come? i thought you were to old for school".
Mori and Honey share wolfish grins with Haruhi and Aleu at the fact that the other host's look shell shocked by the lady really being a man, a man who is currently spinning around with a very happy Kirimi in his arms.
After Ryoji is finished spinning his youngest grandchild around, the retired assassin walks towards his child taking in the storm brewing in her brown eyes.
Yet upon not finding Umehito anywhere, he decides to not to bother using a different language like French or Italian, instead he uses Japanese uncaring that everyone in the room knows it due to them being in japan.
"Haruhi where's Umehito?, he doesn't let Kirimi walk around alone without Beelzenef watching her, and you said something about a rat issue yes?..." Haruhi just looks tired so very tired and her father doesn't like it not one dammed bit.
Placing Kirimi on his hip like a pro, Ryoji gently caress Haruhi's pale cheek his tone worried "la mia bella bambina?, what is it what happened?" he knows something happened, Ryoji just needs his little one to tell him what happened.
The host club mainly Kyoya are all interested in Ryoji's use of Italian mixed with Japanese when the man in question doesn't look Italian besides maybe his red hair and golden eyes, the shadow king wonders if the man is half Japanese mixed with something else.
But he doesn't get the chance to ask at the moment, "Chrome... Umehito went to help her and..." Haruhi looks broken "and i can't feel Tsuna or the others, Lambo is very faint but even that was this afternoon...".
Truly sick upon hearing this news Ryoji pulls his child into a half hug which Kirimi soon joins knowing her family is in massive pain.
"While you go take care of some rats give your family a call find out what is happening at home" Haruhi nods her head silently, giving her father a kiss on the cheek, and Kirimi a kiss on the forehead telling Aleu to stay with them, and saying goodbye to the boy's before they can stop her from leaving.
Ryoji says kind nothings to his grandchild who is tearing up again due to figuring out something is wrong with her Mama's family, she says tearfully "grandpa?, if Auntie Sky can't feel them, then is Uncle Tsu, cousin Lambo and Everyone gone? is Mama gone? even Uncle Birdie and Uncle Pineapple to?..." Ryoji is forced to cut off the destressed little one's fearful rant.
Sitting on one of the many couches he rocks Kirimi back and forth in a soothing manner, Aleu laying at his feet with the confused and worried host club watching helpless.
He doesn't stop rocking the beloved child in his arms not even as the hosts gather around them in a worried manner hoping to help in some way, "oh kitten i am so sorry, i can not lie to you and give you false hope, Tsuna and his family more then likely died fighting, i... i just don't know who yet".
Ryoji's golden eyes turn blazing red with his storm flames as he continues to speak to his grandchild "but those of us who remain wont let their deaths mean nothing, we as a family shall decide what to do at a later date when your Auntie feels better... she is having a harder time then the rest of us due to the broken bonds".
Kirimi nods her head firmly her blue eyes flickering gold with her sun flames, a small yet strong tone is heard from the little kitten "can i heal her?" smiling sadly Ryoji shakes his head softly.
But the tone sad yet final that the older man uses puts the host club on alert for some reason "no Kirimi, no you can't heal Haruhi, not in the way's she needs to be, no one not even you can help her only time well tell if she heals or..." Ryoji trails off looking pained as Kirimi finally cry's herself to sleep in her grandfathers arms.
-line break-
Gently petting his youngest grandchild's hair in a soothing manner Ryoji's golden eyes are locked on the group of worried boys that his brave little girl has collected as her own in just three short months, so they do belong to her in some manner of speaking, his tone is grave yet firm.
"Each of you get only one question that you want me to answer, although weather i do answer or not is another story, so... think carefully before you speak".
Honey speaks first looking worried at the young feline demon sleeping in the older mans hold "is Kirimi going to be alright Sir?" knowing the kind yet protective dog demon is worried over his grandchild.
Ryoji smiles slightly his tone soft "only time well tell, she is afraid for her family someone has hurt them beyond repair, so i do not know if any of us well be alright" the young blonde nods his head sadly knowing a lttle bit about the mafia's laws of no outsiders allowed to know their inner workings.
Mori's tone is firm yet calm "can Haruhi protect herself while in her current state of loss" raw pain flashs though golden eyes as the retired assassin speaks in a calm yet truly pained manner.
"No she can not, she is to lost in pain of loss at the moment and well be for a long time, but i know Rin well not let anyone so much as touch my little girl, no one but him well get any where near Haruhi".
The dark haired dog demon nods his head slightly, glad that the young woman has the protection she needs right now, during such a dangerous event for any sky who has lost a bonded let alone more then one bonded at the same time.
Hikaru looks at his brother who nods his head silently giving the go ahead to go first "what do you mean by bonds, why would Haruhi be able to feel them in the first place?" gold bleeds red slightly as he considers weather or not he wants to answer.
But with a slow shake of his head Ryoji does not answer that question nor give a reasson as to why not.
Kaoru takes ahold of his brothers hand to keep them both calm and grounded as they both wonder if the man well answer even one of their questions, let alone give them the helping hand that they so badly need. "S-Sir... before you two leave, my brother and i... can we talk to you in private please...?" the former assassin takes not of the twins body language, and of their unease, of their guarded eyes and nods his head slowly, not wanting to make the two children fear him, Ryoji keeps his tone softer then before.
"You two can come home with Kirimi and i, but no other may come along, not even Takashi or Mitsukuni whom both have a key to my place" nether dog demons says anything about being denied entry into the apartment, Kyoya wants to know why but doesn't say anything and Tamaki is worried over not only one but now three of his family members yet he too remains silent, if the twins wanted their help they would have asked them instead of asking Ryoji.
Tamaki asks his question next his tone oddly serious for the normally kind yet childish host king "is there any way for us to help?, people... members of yours and Haruhi's family are hurt or worse right?, so how can we help please?" if the kid wasn't so damm real about wanting to help them, Ryoji wouldn't have answered him at all, his tone is truly grave, and his hold on his granddaughter tightens slightly.
"I may be her father, my lover may be one of them, but it isn't my true family in danger, as the head of her familia this is Haruhi's family that is in danger, even if it a part ruled by another Sky that goes by another name, it is my battle i am only here if they need me to get in contact with my own family for extra help when needed, the young need to learn how to fly on their own or their fall out of the sky unto their deaths, so no Tamaki their isn't anything you nor i can really do at this moment in time, all we can do is wait and hope for survivors".
It kills Ryoji to say these things, but it how their cruel world works, and all the older generation can do is wait for the youngsters to return home then patch them up and send them back into the world, or for the unlucky one's all they can do is make sure they are given a proper burial and that those who remain are takin care of, he wants to help so badly that it kills him on the inside but he raised his daughter to be able to care for her family even while in her current state, so he knows Haruhi well come home with survivors or not at all.
Kyoya goes last and his glass's catch the light making them flash dangerously "why didn't anyone call the police for help?, who is Rin?, and where are Kirimi's real parents?, Nekozawa-senpai's to young to be her father" rolling his gold eyes at the fact that Kyoya doesn't even try to hide the fact he just asked more then one question, Ryoji almost laughs in the brat face due to asking such unless questions.
"Police are terrified of many things, that would include my family, Haruhi's family, Tsuna's family and a few others, it doesn't help that all of us are tightly connected, i have lost count of the times that multiple police corps have called my ...boss to have him go save them from the insanity that is the new generation" he smirks at the shock in the young boys eyes and before the punk can say anything the storm beats him to the punch as he states calmly.
"Rin is none of your god dammed business, and as for whom my granddaughter's parents may or not be, Umehito's never known his parents i am the only thing that is closest to a father to him, four years ago while passing though a circus he found a abandoned infant not even two weeks old in a cage with the tigers, now Kirimi is his daughter and those two tigers live in his house... now that i think about it they should be having their first litter soon... better check in on them during Umehito's absence" standing up with his sleeping granddaughter still in his arms.
Ryoji starts walking towards the door and when he is in the hallway he looks over his shoulder at the hosts calmly "Hikaru... Kaoru... are you two coming or did you change your minds?" the twins don't need to be asked twice, soon their following the older male out of school and down the streets with Aleu not far behind them.
The remaining host club members are concerned, worried and deep in their own thoughts about what Ryoji told them and soon they head home to think over what's happened and plan out what their next moves are going to be, their worried for Haruhi and now the twins too, but none of them really know what to do that would be of any help at the moment, so all they can do is wait.
-line break-
After making quick work of the maid, who tainted her niece with words that should never even be heard by any child, let alone come right out of a four year old's own mouth, she pays the ruined carpet no mind, she knows that nether Chrome nor Umehito cares about the carpet they were going to replace it with hard wood floors soon, so this just speeds that plan up a bit, a heavily pregnant tigress walks into the room rubbing against Haruhi's legs in a greeting, she stretches the large feline behind the ear "hello Jade come to see what's for lunch?, is your mate Kiba here?".
The mother to be nods her head twice answering both of the woman's questions, and then she pays the sky no more mind as tigress begins to eat the former employee, smiling softly at the scene knowing that Jade is eating for more then just herself Haruhi brings out her phone and dials the number she knows by heart, the line connects not long after words.
"I am opening a portal right into the heart of this hell so be ready" Haruhi doesn't say anything she hangs up knowing she well see the man soon, and without batting an eye she walks though the portal of night flames that appears in front of her, and he was right about this being hell.
The once beautiful church now in complete ruins, both enemy and guest alike dead their corpses littering the ground, she walks though the sea of bodies like death himself, standing there alone at the destroyed blood stain alter is the man she called standing before her is the tall intimidating shadow covered form of Bermuda, she doesn't expect the man to pull her into his arms right off the bat, she doesn't bother fighting back she knows she isn't strong enough right now, so Haruhi simply allows the man to nuzzle her neck in a loving yet harsh manner.
The male starts growling as he nibbles at her throat playfully, although he does stop when she starts shivering, lighting both of them on fire with his night flames soon the leader of the Vindice holds her closer to his form letting her to draw warmth from him as he hiss's in her ear "after we are done, your not leaving bed until i say so" she lets him bring them to home to their infirmary wing.
He doesn't release his hold on her as Haruhi takes in the site of their family members laying in beds critical condition Reborn, Lussuria, Xanxus, Jack, Jaeger and Hatori working tirelessly to save their lives, Umehito is sitting beside Chrome's bedside she is unconscious with an injured leg and broken ribs, Jack and Jaeger are working on Kyoya who had to be knocked out due to going on a rampage while having internal bleeding and a more then five broken bones.
Lussuria and Xanxus are helping ten year old Lambo who is also knocked out while they try to get boys internal bleeding stopped and his collapsed lung working, Hatori and Reborn are working on Tsuna is unconscious and in the worst condition, missing his right eye, injured spinal cord, his left hand and ribs broken, internal bleeding on fatel levels and four broken guardain bonds.
Haruhi doesnt need to told what to do or how to do it, she unleases her sky flames flooding the room with warmth she isnt even able to feel herself, her flames well help their injures heal faster and prevent anymore bonds from breaking unless someone else dies today, it takes three hours just to get Lambo stable and another ten to get Kyoya off deaths doorstep, at the 24 hour mark Kyoya is safe however Tsuna is still in danger of dying, it takes another 24 hours with both Haruhi and Xanxus flooding the 20 year old man with their sky flames twice untill he finally stablizes.
Everyone is well past their breaking points and exhausted from overuse of their flames along with three long days without sleep, so it is of no shock to any of them or the servants and other family members who were running errands back and forth for supplies, when those of them who aren't in their rooms, are now on the floor motionless, or sleeping on a table, chair, tree or the roof.
Bermuda true to his word he doesn't let Haruhi go anywhere besides a shower and then to cuddle in their bed, they spend three days in bed or in the shower, and for the first time in months she isn't ice cold and his instincts aren't screaming at him to leave to travel like the aloof cloud he still is, his face is buried in her neck while she absent mindedly plays with his waist length silver hair their flames ablaze strengthening their stressed bond.
Worry filled tired golden eyes take in every detail every mark, every scar, on her nuked form for every pained filled smile she gives him he returns it with one of his own, and he holds her tighter for every off sounding breath for every single pain filled breath she takes, her equally worry filled tired brown eyes take in every detail of the man he keeps hidden under bandages from everyone besides their family.
A okami youkai who is 28 in appearance while being older then that, wild waist length silver hair, golden wolfs eyes, fangs, claws, silver furred wolf ears and long tail, scars littering his back from whip lashings, and his body is covered in different types of scars from all kinds of things from battle wound to torture injures, the imprint of chains burnt into and around his neck-throat, he doesn't pull away when she begins tracing the patterns softly instead he listens as she says softly yet sadly.
"Hard to believe that you ended up doing this one to yourself not just an hour ago, your still not going to tell me where you ended up in the past Rin?" the wolf demon shakes his slowly this time he does catch her hand when it travels lower her fingers barely grazing the flame like scars from sky's trying to force him to bond with them while in the past, the same scars that almost every inch of his skin, his baritone voice is almost like rough silk as he states calmly "if your so worried about my younger self then why watch me beat him into the ground? before he disappeared from this time he knew you were watching just not why you aren't helping him".
Brown eyes take on a sad light as she speaks in barely a whisper "it wouldn't have changed the fact he would have disappeared tonight into the past, i wanted to see him off for his next great journey, even if i had to watch you beat the shut out of him i..." the cloud is on top of her caging her in with his arms as he silences his sky with a kiss, when they pull apart his tone is loving and thankful "thank you Haruhi for worrying about us, about him and about me, but are you certain that still want me rather then my younger self? he can still be saved before he returns as broken as i am...".
This time the cloud finds himself silenced by the sky who pulls him back down for a love filled kiss as she sky flames wrap around him in a possessive manner they pull apart for air once again, her tone gentle "then we make quite the broken pair don't we Rin?" he chuckles fondly resting his forehead upon her own while still caging her in with his larger body, "the funeral is in 20 minutes, so lets wait until later on to have Hatori look over you before i take you back to Ryoji, do you know what they plan to do now after what's happened?", Haruhi shakes her head mournfully.
Rin finally allows Haruhi to leave bed as the pair dress in black formal clothes, Rin is bandage free wearing a black suit, his Vindice hat with his silver hair braided, Haruhi is wearing a simple long sleeve black dress with Rin's Vindice black gray fur collared coat, the coat is meant to keep the cold away from her even if it drags on the ground cause of the height difference between Rin and Haruhi.
Soon the whole family is in the graveyard that is on the massive property minus those who are still in japan like Ryoji and Germany like a few members who are on mission there, Kyoya and Chrome are standing beside their sky while Lambo sits in Tsuna's lap, as the four gravestones mock them all with the names carved into the stone.
Mukuro Rokudo beloved teacher and mist of the mist guardian pair, Ryohei Sasagawa beloved doctor and sun guardian, Hayato Gokudera beloved right-hand and storm guardian, Takeshi Yamamoto beloved left-hand and rain guardian.
As their sky and tenth boss of the Vongola Tsuna speaks first "they can rest in peace knowing we destroyed their killers, but they wouldn't forgive us if we spent all our time drowning in grief only to lose ourselves to it, so in honor of Ryohei, Mukuro, Takeshi and Hayato so we're going to throw them a farewell party and yes we well be dangerous with rage with anger like the storm, giving way to a fragile calm like the rain, soon only to hide ourselves away behind illusions even while being right there like the mist and maybe one day we well heal and become bright again like the sun, but for now let us drown in grief at their loss but be strong enough to over come that grief least it devour us for all that we are".
the gathered mafioso from human to none human, be they a Don, Donna, guardian, freelancer, or even low level grant, be they one familia or many different Familia's gathered together, all the same they the cheer, cry, growl, howl, yell and scream in remembrance of those who have been taken away by death, Tsuna gives a bitter smile as Haruhi first boss of the Belladonna familia her tone is firm yet gentle speaks next.
"From the moment we are born we sign a contract with death, a contract for life that we live with a hourglass around our throats counting down the end of our time on earth, but sometimes that hourglass cracks beyond repair and our time here ends before our contract does, death is a con artist that and we're left to live life wondering when well it be our turn to pay our side of the one sided bargain, but that's why it is called life in the first place because there death at the end of our time..." to the horror of everyone Haruhi starts coughing harshly into her hand.
Hatori and Reborn don't waste anytime they take the sky into the house to rest and check over her health, the only thing remaining at the graveyard is a few drops of blood where the woman was standing just seconds ago, Bermuda leader of the Vindice or rather as he is known to his family Rin steps forward to speak his tone serous, that gains everyone's full attention.
"Those of us who remain, are left to grieve without final words with those lost to us, taken by death before their time, due to the actions of others whom decided it would be a fun ideal to shot up a wedding full of mafioso, but those of us whom remain and are still able to, well make those responsible for this tragedy pay dearly, in one week those who are welling and able are going to help me track down the vermin, bring them in chains alive, don't stop until their boss or the one who ordered the attack is here in chains, find them".
this gains a up roar from the gathered family memebers, if they didnt like revenge or killinng their enemy's then no one here would be in mafia to begin with, so being offered vengance by the leader of the mafia law man himself is somthing none of them are going to let pass them by, Kyoya and Chrome each place a hand on Tsuna's shoulders as the sky smiles in a pained bittersweet manner, knowing the one to blame is for him to destory.
Soon enough the farewell party for the four fallen guardains begins in the house with lots of drinks and food, some talk about the good times they had, while others try to lighten the mood by playing pranks, jokes or in some cases starting fights over the last piece of cake.
He is hovering over their shoulders while they work and it is irritating a tick mark of anger appears on his head as Hatori turns his glowing green eye away from his patient or rather his and Reborn's patient, glaring at the man behind them his tone is calm yet cold "stop hovering, if your so worried then hold her hand or something, if you keep hovering i am going to kick you out Rin" the clouds growls at the lightning who doesn't even bat his eye at the cloud instincts, due to being forced to deal with a temperamental Akito Sohma on a almost daily bases.
Haruhi rolls her eyes at both of them "honestly you two should just beat the shit out of each already and get it over with, you always put it off due to one of you working, so before i leave your both having friendly sparring match, least you lose your tempers on someone who cant handle you correctly" two out of her four most temperamental elements growl at her slightly annoyed, but both the lightning and cloud listen to their sky, even if nether really want to, although it is true they haven't had a good mock fight in awhile.
Reborn clicks his tongue at what he finds with his sun flames his tone is grim "due to overuse of your flames this past week, you've exhausted your flames and yourself to the point where if you use anymore you may end up in coma at best" Haruhi puts her dress back on "and at worst?" everyone can taste the pure sun flames almost visibly pouring off the hitman "you would ether speed up your illness or you would break to the point where you cease to be a sky, so take the next easy while your flames recover or i'll send Skull to watch over you at school".
Rin smirks at the mention of the new Arcobaleno generations cloud, the twice former cloud Arcobaleno starts walking over to the new gen sun Arcobaleno, he whispers into the mans ear and both men smirk dangerously, Haruhi pouts knowing their up to something Hatori simply pets her hair knowing that his sky doesn't like being pranked, handing her two doctors note's his tone is calm "this is for school for the physical exam you missed and the other one is for that ...club of yours, stating your not allowed to push yourself, i well be stopping by your place later this week to give Ryoji his yearly".
The dragon demon isn't surprised when Haruhi gives him a tight hug which he returns after a few seconds her voice is slightly muffled by his chest as she says softly "thank you Ha'ri, are you alright with Jaeger taking you home tomorrow? Rin said..." her words fade away when he starts chuckling in a fond manner his tone is warm "i am staying here for another week to help Reborn with Tsunayoshi, then the three of us and Kyoya are heading to Namimori to inform Nana and Tsuyoshi about what's happened, after words i well go check on Akito before coming over to your place, just make sure you take better care of yourself".
She nods into his chest "i promise" holding her tighter for a few seconds more Hatori places a loving kiss on her forehead before releasing his sky, and soon enough with a flash of night flames both Rin and Haruhi are gone, leaving the doctor and the hitman alone in the infirmary, Hatori's tone is colder then snow "your not thinking about leaving Tsunayoshi now are you? because if you are planning to leave him Renato Sinclair then... lets just say you'll find out why i am called the Surgeon in the underground" Reborn pitch black eyes glow gold his just as cold as his friends was.
"No i had no intention of leaving Tsuna, actually i was still planning to ask Nana for Tsuna's hand in marriage before proposing to tsuna next month on his 21th birthday, so Hatori Sohma do i need to threaten you or are you going to ask me for Skull's hand before asking her?" the dragon smirks at his friend jab as he does just that "well you allow me to ask Skull to become my wife old friend?" instead of answering or out right shooting the doctor, the hitman smirks teasingly "took you long enough" this soon leads the two men to leave the room in search of the stuntwoman, Reborn is going to enjoy getting blackmail on both Hatori and skull.
-line break-
Ryoji checks on the sleeping children, smiling softly at the site of Kirimi being held safely in between Kaoru and Hikaru with Aleu on the foot of the bed as the four of them sleep in the guest room, the man is about to go to bed due to it being almost midnight, but on his way to his room the familiar feeling of night flames reaches him, and so he turns on his heel heading to the living room instead.
Upon seeing Rin and Haruhi wearing funeral clothes, with his daughter sporting a backpack, with paper bag in her hand, he notes how worn, tired and pained both look at the moment and the only words out of the retired assassins mouth are "been gone a week and you two still look like shit" the couple rolls their eyes at Ryoji's manners, Haruhi holds out the paper bag "mom sent us with this, said you'd need some".
Curious as to what his lover sent him, he opens the bag and see a bottle of aged whiskey along with the strawberry cookies she only makes when something happens and shit doesn't just hit the fan it fucking destroys it, pinching the bridge of his nose he waves his daughter and his soon to be son in law towards the table telling them to sit down while he grabs some plates and drinking glasses.
It is only a few cookies and four shots each does Ryoji finally ask his tone grave "how bad and how many" their not questions their orders ones that nether of the couple are going disobey, Rin answers his tone just as grave "Takeshi and Hayato were gunned down at the alter on their wedding day, they used special bullets to turn Ryohei's flames against him he died is truly painful death, and Mukuro saved both Kyoya's life and chrome's own by taking two fatal attacks in their places there was barely enough left of him to give a proper burial".
The cloud lets what happened sink in for the normally calm storm, in his hand Ryoji's shot glass melts into nothingness his tone dark "and the others" this time Haruhi answers her fathers order her tone tired yet serious "Lambo and chrome were the least injured, but we almost lost Kyoya twice and Tsuna... he wont be the same not even after his injures fully heal, Tsu-kun he..." grief mixed with strong alcohol finally does it, the barricade that has been holding back her emotions for a whole week finally breaks, and she begins to sob into Rin's chest as he simply holds her close knowing that it was going to happen sooner or later.
After almost 20 minutes of grief filled sobbing Haruhi cry's herself to sleep in Rin's arms, shifting her until she is resting in a better position Rin soon takes another shot of whiskey, golden eyes look at his daughter with no small amount of worry "so... judging by her unbalanced emotions, Haruhi's check didn't go well, or... you got her pregnant in which case no coffee, no more alcohol" the wolf demon looks amused at thought of his mate carrying his pups.
But he still smirks at the demon like human sitting across from him "sadly no pups yet, i always make sure to pull out before finishing, even though she so badly wants children, Hatori and Reborn gave her a check up before we returned, here's the note Ha'ri sent for you explaining things".
Ryoji is actually disappointed about not getting more grandchildren, as he reads and re-reads the note, his second shot glass of the night melts even faster then the first one did, grabbing a third glass and knocking back two more shots before speaking "Haruhi's gonna be pissed to find out she has been barred from assassination missions, but i guess her rage is better then the alternatives still better then a coma, and it would be a turn for the worst if her illness sped up or if she wasn't a sky anymore... i take it your staying for a few days Rin?".
Nodding his head calmly the underworld lawman's eyes look at the woman sleeping in his arms a fond smile on his lips "ya i promised Haruhi that i would stay for a few days, so who are the two children in the guest with the kitten?" to his surprise the other man doesn't say anything for a few moments, instead taking the time to gather his thoughts, and when Ryoji does speak his tone is grim "Kaoru and Hikaru are classmates of Haruhi's their in the high school courtesan's club along with our little sky, tell me what are two of the most punishable acts that you and your people consider worse then murder, two acts that are punishable by a slow painful death by torture?".
The founder of the Vindice doesn't even need to think about the answers, and golden eyes narrow in rage upon realizing what the storm is hinting at, Rin's tone isn't for the faint of heart and had he been a weak man then Ryoji knows from experience that he would have fainted due to murderous tone from the normally calm man.
"Child abuse of any kind, and trying to forcibly break a bond between sky and elements, do ya mean to tell me that someone has damaged these two children to such a unforgivable level" it isn't a question and Ryoji knows better then to anger his son in law while said man is in Vindice boss mode.
"Yuzuha Hitachiin may seem like a caring mother and wife, but she broke her husbands bond with his first sky, so he would bond with her instead, and she physically abuses her three children, the twins take their two year old sister Ageha's place in almost daily beatings, that isn't even the worst of it... she forces the twins to pleasure her client's both male and female allowed to rape two boys, just so she can collect a payment, and taking out her anger and frustration about her fashion business on them as well".
If Rin wasn't holding a sleeping Haruhi at the moment, Ryoji knows that he would be pacing back and forth boiling with latterly visible waves of pure rage rolling off of him, sighing mournfully golden eyes lock with the equally raging liquid gold eyes of his son "the twins asked for sanctuary under my protection for both them and their sister whom is still in that house, i can not physically go and break into that hell hole to save her due to my injures..." Rin holds up a hand to silence Ryoji knowing what the other man is going to ask of him.
The cloud's tone is sharp and serious but no less true then his warmer tones are "why do ya think i founded the Vindice in the first place?, when i got sent to the past by a wormhole, i had to live though far to many years of utter hell and damnation as a slave and again later on in years as a homeless man whom had to witness how truly cruel the world is, but i knew i wouldn't be able to change the whole world, so i settled for ruling the criminal underworld with an iron fist, i created Vindice to protect those who are to weak to do so themselves and set forth laws with punishments that are feared enough by mafioso of all cultures, but those who aren't part of the underground do not remember the name Vindice so they have forgotten that instinctive fear".
Taking another shot before he continues speaking "perhaps it is time the civilian world finally remembers to fear the vindice name, Ryoji do you have the necessary papers to adopt Ageha, Hikaru and Kaoru as your wards?, there father may be a victim also but he stood by and didn't protect his children, when he could have taken them and left his wife behind, so both parents are going to answer to me personally".
Without even blinking Ryoji pulls out already filled out adoption papers for all three children, and as the leader of Vindice Rin gives the final signature needed to make Ryoji the new father of three more children, whom are going to need a lot of patience and love to heal properly.
It is past three in the morning when he feels the hair on the back of his neck stand in warning, Hanzo Hitachiin holds his daughter closer preying that it isn't his wife, he knows if she finds him holding their daughter then she is going to harm their children in her unhinged insanity, he wishes he could have been strong enough to take the children and make a run for it, but since Yuzuha forced him to become her rain guardian Hanzo has been a broken puppet of a man, he knows he isn't to protect himself let alone his children.
The rattling of chains tells him that it isn't his wife behind him, slowly turning dull lifeless brown eyes toward the one person he knows can save his children, Hanzo silently walks over to Bermuda von veckenschtein without a hint of fear for the Vindice leader, and gently hands the lawman his sleeping daughter placing a loving kiss on her forehead his tone filled with regret and pain "i am sorry i wasn't strong enough to save you or your brothers, but now you'll be safe, live a happy life Ageha".
Dull brown eyes lock with the lawman's fury filled gold eyes, Hanzo doesn't need to see under the bandages to the other man is sneering at him in disgust and anger at his own weakness, and the broken rain doesn't blame him for feeling that way, after all what kind of father doesn't protect his own children from their unhinged mother?.
He knows before Bermuda even speaks in that terrifying tone of voice, that he has only heard stories about it's horrifying affect on people, Hanzo knows he is going to live out the rest of his life in cell in the Vindice prison "Hanzo Hitachiin you failed numberless times to protect your children from your wife's abusive ways, when you could have left and taken them with you, and for that sin not only do you lose any rights to your children, you also gain a 20 year sentence in one of our prison cells, your wife on the hand shall be killed on site for her vile crimes, do you have any last words before your punishment begins".
Hanzo is truly shocked that he even get last words let alone the knowledge of his wife's fate, dull brown eyes take on a faded blue glow "only the request that you make that sick bitch pay ten fold for what she's done to us, done to me, done to her own children, make her pay" the warden nods his head wordlessly and Hanzo disappears from his prison before landing in the Vindice prison infirmary wing, where soon he falls asleep with a smile on his face for the first time in years, knowing that his children well be safe soon, the living nightmare has finally ended.
Rin doesn't even look away from the sleeping child he is rocking in his arms, not even as he says calmly "Jack take Ageha to Ryoji and stay there until i return" leaving the shadows silently, the normally reckless werewolf gently takes the sleeping toddler from his alpha, and the night sky watches his storm disappear without a word, golden eyes turn earie glowing purple as the enraged cloud leaves without a sound going in search of his prey.
To his eternal disgust Rin finds the vermin counting her money with pictures of her naked twin son's being place in letters to sale to some rich sicko who is welling to pay for the vile pictures, he doesn't bother with the use of his chains on such a vile creature, instead he begins to brutally torture the woman without her even realizing who is harming her in the first place.
Then a two hours, after she is broken and sobbing in a disgusting manner for mercy, Rin uses a gun to blow the woman's brains out, doesn't bother informing her as to why she was being tortured, for cases like these he never even allows the vile trash to know why, or the fact that he is the one who has harmed them to begin with, doesn't bother with the normal lines or the rattling of chains, those are a mercy that monsters like Yuzuha Hitachiin do not deserve, the fact Rin did all of these things while remaining completely hidden from his prey's line of site, just speaks of how truly pissed off the man is.
It is of no shock when Rin returns to Ryoji's place to Jack leaning his back against the dinning table, drinking from the half empty whiskey bottle, with nether Ryoji nor Ageha any where in site "in his room sleeping, didn't want to wake ether of them, so i left the pup with him to let them both sleep peacefully" his storm is damm near drunk and Rin cant find it in himself to care at the moment, instead he takes a long drink from the offered bottle.
Silently sitting beside the werewolf who soon looks at him with pleading red eyes, his tone almost childlike "how could someone do that to any pup let alone their own?, why are humans so... cruel don't they know pups are treasured, an to be protected above all else?" taking another drink before placing the bottle on the table behind them, Rin pulls the drunk and distressed werewolf into a side hug, the younger rests his head onto his alpha's shoulder.
Making sure to keep his tone gentle, Rin cords his clawed fingers though Jack's spiky crimson hair "wish i had the answer to your question, but i won't lie and say that i do know why humans act the way they do, i've watched many great cites and kingdoms fall to human greed, and i've survived some of the worst kind of people that human kind has ever known, but the cycle of hate repeats itself the strong and power hungry doing unrepairable damage to those weaker then them, that's why we Vindice exist to protect the weak, sick, innocent and broken be they human or otherwise, we are protectors first and foremost, no matter how we hurt as a result...".
Rin trails off upon realizing that Jack is sound asleep, shaking his head fondly "it's not like you would've remembered this talk tomorrow anyways, perhaps another time" gently laying the sleeping werewolf onto the floor, he covers the younger with a blanket heading to Haruhi's room, silently removing his bandages and soon only sporting a pair of night pants, the wolf demon soon crawls into bed and pulls his beloved close.
Sleepy amber eyes flicker open slightly "Rin?" his name said as a silent unsaid question is truly what does him in, because at the end of the day he is just as broken as she is, as the rest of their family is and even he cant be hide from his emotions forever, so Rin simply lets the woman he loves hold him tightly as he breaks down and cry's allowing his grief to take over, Haruhi says nothing as to his undone current state, she knows he isn't carved from unfeeling stone like so many believe him to be.
So when Haruhi starts cording her fingers though his hair soothingly while humming a familiar wordless song, Rin knows he doesn't need to hide behind the title as leader of Vindice, the bandages that cover his numberless burn scars, or the name Bermuda von veckenschtein, and so for the first time in almost two years since they got the heartbreaking news Rin cry's grieving over what he has already lost and what he is going to lose in the future.
It's an hour later that finds Haruhi still combing her fingers though silky silver strands she has long ago fallen silent after Rin lost unconsciousness due to the overwhelming weight of the worlds only constant truth, her tone is soft barely above a whisper even while knowing her beloved wont hear her words tonight nor any other night after "I'm sorry" because at the end of the day promises are meant to be broken and death always claims his due's.
Always regardless of fair or unfair, be they man, woman or child, be it right or wrong, life and death are cruel always taking from those weaker, everyone signs that contract for even a little time on this hellish plane and if your hourglass brakes along the way, then tough luck there are no refunds, no second chances once death claims what's rightfully his own, Haruhi smiles bitterly at the cruel meaning of life, even while she starts planning for when she stands face to face with death.
Soon enough the sun begins to rise, spreading it's golden tinted light though the window, Haruhi's bitter smile sharpens turning into a dark smirk, amber eyes flash with cold conviction, all to soon the game shall begin but who comes out to be the victor has yet to decided, nothing is set purely in stone and Haruhi knows this fact very well, so she with enough enough conviction and determination, she plans to stake it all on one final gamble.
