*I just found out that Kamijou Riku is a character in manga called Dolls. I'm telling you, it's just a coincidence.. (TT-TT) and I'm sorry if Kyoko seems to be a lil ooc*

"I really hates you, Kyoko-chin.." The girl chided. Kyoko look at her, puzzled. Shion Kana is a petite girl with cute face and wavy brown hair. Her appearance and brazen personality reminds Kyoko to Haru a lot which make Kana one of the person in her class that Kyoko can get along well.

"You went home with Kamijou-senpai yesterday right? I saw you two walking, all chummy, when I finish club activity." The brunnete pout. "and you are very close to Sawada-kun too.." she added.

"Ah, I wasn't feeling well yesterday.. Kamijou-senpai is just being nice by sending me home." Kyoko explain. "As for Tsun.." the word stuck at her throat, "..Sawada-kun, we were friends since middle school."

"Heh.." the girl grunt, uninterested. "But Sawada-kun sure is cool right, like, he has this stoic but at the same time gentle atmosphere around him. Kamijou-senpai is great too but I think Sawada-kun's 'close-but-unapproachable' aura is more seductive." Comment Kana. "Hey, tell me how he is like when in middle school~"

The sudden request baffled her. How Tsuna-kun was like in middle school? A sense of nostalgic hits her. All the sweet memories from 3 years ago flashes before her like a black and white film noir; the kendo match, the summer festival, the future.. Her lips formed a smile, sadness reflected in her eyes. "He was clumsy and ridiculous.." She replied. Kana stare at her in disbelief. "But he is also very kind, reliable."

"You sound like you're in love with him." Kana's statement shock her back to reality. "What?" "You sounds like you're in love with him." Kana repeated. "Are you?" Kyoko quickly shakes her head. "We're just close friends!" she said. We 'were' just close friends..

Kana clapped her hands, "I'm glad!" she said in relief. "I was really troubled! If you're in love with him, I wouldn't know what to do.." Kana grabs Kyoko's hands. "Hey, Kyoko-chin? Can I tell you a secret? Actually, I've fallen in love with Sawada-kun since the first time I saw him. But he was pretty cold to everyone else but you so I thought you guys were dating. Now, hearing that you two are not together.. I never felt this relief in my entire life!" Kyoko froze. Her gazes fixed on Kana's beaming face, her mind struggling to compute Kana's words. "You don't mind if I confessed my feelings to him, right?" said the brown haired girl. Kyoko caught herself saying "Of course" and "I wish you luck".

Watching the clock ticks was hard for Kyoko. "I'm going to ask Sawada-kun when schools end" Kana has told her. What is wrong with me? She scolded her self. It's non of your business if anyone going to ask him out! She thought and she know it is true. She has no right to involve in Tsuna's personal life, moreover his love life. But the unsettling feeling in her guts is telling her otherwise. It's like, if she didn't stop it she's going to lose Tsuna. He's not even yours to begin with. She told herself. But if you don't stop it, he will be truly gone. Her gut answered.

As soon as the last bell rang, she quickly packs her stuff and ready to leave the classroom. "Are you going to the student council room?" asked Tsuna. She nods, "There are a lot of work that I need to finish." Tsuna flashes her a smile. "Don't work so hard ok?" she spots Kana approaching them with the edge of her eyes. "Thank you.." she said. "Goodbye then, see you tomorrow." She rush off the classroom, almost crashing to Gokudera on her way out, but not before she could hear Kana asking Tsuna to meet her at the rooftop.

The way to the student council room seems like further than usual. Turn back! her heart ordered. There's still time if you want to stop it!

"Shut up!"

"Sasagawa-san, are you ok?" she quickly turned to the source of the voice. Kamijou stares at her with worried look. "Kamijou-senpai.. I'm fine." She lied. "Are you sure?" Kamijou touches her forehead. Instantly, a feeling of calmness washes over her. Kamijou has that effect on people. He is the kind of person that is comfortable to be with. She remembers the first time they met. The moment they exchanges handshake, she felt like she has known him since forever. "Do you want to go home? I can finish all the works by myself. It's ok." He said. His voice is filled with sincere concerned. She felt guilty. How could she make her senpai do all the work by himself when it is their responsibility? "It's ok, let's go senpai. Tons of paperwork are waiting for us."

She tried to concentrate all of her focus on the paperwork but the nagging in her head doesn't seems to stop. Any minutes now, it said. You're going to lose him forever..

The voices finally get the best of her. She put down her pen and excuse herself. She could feel Kamijou's concerned gaze as she leave the room and paved her way towards the roof top.

Strange, she thought. The closer she got to the rooftop, the heavier it seems her legs become, as though there's an invisible hands hold on to her waist trying to stop her from going to the roof. After what felt like hours, she finally caught the sight of the door that lead to the roof top. Her legs stops moving. A sudden fear invades her consciousness. The scene from 3 years ago flashes before her eyes like a déjà vu. She force her legs to move and they complied but heavily. The closer she got to the door, the heavier they seems to get. She closes her eyes and slowly she turn the door knob. The moment the door sprung open, her nose caught an unfamiliar pungent smell. The moment she opens her eyes, she was greeted by a gore scene.

Unmoving bodies was sprawled in the pool of scarlet liquid she quickly recognize as blood. Some of the bodies was badly misshapen she. She felt nausea, the world seems to be spinning. Tsuna-kun and Kana-chan! she remembered and starts to look for them frantically.

Kyoko fells on her knees. Her entire body trembles with fear. Standing 3 meters from her was a man that looks like Sawada Tsunayoshi. His eyes were cold and wild. His lips forms a cruel sneer. His right hand closed around Shion Kana's neck. The girl's body limped lifelessly. It wasn't long till he notice her presence. He turned his face towards her and gave her an unamused smile. "Kyoko-chan, what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in the student council room?" he said as he released the girl's body and walks towards her. His body was caked with blood and some other substances that use to be human's body part. "You see, these people, they tried to kill me.." he chided. The closer he gets, the further Kyoko tried to move but her body seems to freeze. "..so it's only fair if I kill them right?" he grabs Kyoko's chin.

"Hey, Kyoko-chan.. what is that look in your eyes? Are you scared of me?" his tone sounds genuinely clueless. Kyoko blinks her tears away and look straight into his eyes despite her shaking body.

"Who are you?"
