I've written this story to a certain point already and I decided to stop this story so I'll continue posting the chapters I've written and I'll stop from there ^^ Thanks to those who have been reading this! I'll probably start concentrating on "The Sky's Reflection" and some other original stories which will be posted on fictionpress so yea, bye people :) It kinda pains me to discontinue a story since to me, it shows how bad I am as a writer because of a half done work. I feel absolutely horrible now so yeah, enjoy this chapter ^^ Review if you want, I don't really bother at this point in time.

" Hey! Someone is falling from the sky again! " Ryohei shouted, pointing at the dot in the sky as it grew larger. Hibari tch-ed and looked up, immediately recognising his arch enemy, Rokudo Mukuro. The teen landed on his feet safely and smirked at Hibari. " Oh~ So this is where you disappeared to huh? I knew you wouldn't leave your precious Nanimori unprotected for no reason, especially when there was that explosion which destroyed part of your school~ "

Hibari growled and took out his tonfas, ready to attack the idiot in front of him when a hand pulled him back.

" Waaaaaaait! Don't fight now! "

The irritated skylark shrugged off the hand and turned his head. " Aren't you dead? "

Ryohei's jaw dropped and Lambo's face turned pale. " Tsukiyo! Is that you? Or is that a ghost form? Please rest in peace and don't haunt us! " the boxer yelled.

" Ahhh! Ghost! Lambo wants to go home! Leave Lambo alone! I'm not giving you my candy! "

" Oya? What are you doing here? I thought you were at Vindice? "

Tsukiyo's eye twitched. " Seriously? A ghost? If I'm a ghost, then you guys must be dead too. " she smiled sarcastically.

" Nooooo! Lambo doesn't want to die! I still have many, many sweets to eat! I haven't defeated Reborn yet! " Lambo started to wail in Ryohei's arms.

" I haven't become the greatest and most extreme boxer in the world yet! "

Tsukiyo and Mukuro sweat dropped. How dim can these two get?

Hibari glared at the two and hissed, " If you don't shut up, I really will bite you to death. " The two immediately kept quiet, with Lambo sobbing silently. Ah, Hibari's awesome authority. So useful in times like this.

" So? " Mukuro said as he folded his arms.

" So what?... Oh that question. Yeah, I was at Vindice and they kind of trained me then they said that I had to help you guys to get out of a locked dimension so they threw me here. Literally. I was actually flung into a portal! "

" Well? Get us out then. "

" Hurry up, herbivore. " Hibari said as he sat in the shade of a large tree.

" I can't! It's a locked dimension and once we're in it, we can't get out unless someone can open a portal or something... "

" Then why are you even here, useless herbivore. "

Okay, I'm seriously pissed right now. " You think I want to be here? I happen to know some people in this dimension that can get us out! " she huffed. " Two more guardians, and then we'll leave. "

" Kufufufu, are you sure your coma hasn't burned your brain? There should be three more- "

" Tsuna won't be coming here. " Hibari looked up as Mukuro raised his eyebrow. " Lorenzo is trying to separate his guardians from him. "

" I'll beat that guy to the extreme! " Ryohei shouted, pumping his fists into the air.

" We'll camp here for now and wait for Gokudera and Yamamoto to drop from the sky. " Tsukiyo said, smiling at the last part. Hibari, clearly irritated that he had to wait again with a bunch of crowding herbivores laid down on the soft grass while Mukuro had his usual creepy smile on his face and sat down on the grass, as far away from Hibari, amusing himself, Lambo and Ryohei with illusions.

" Don't worry about them, juudaime! I'm sure they can cope by themselves! With the exception of that stupid cowhead... " Gokudera comforted, mumbling the last sentence.

Suddenly, the road in front of them exploded and guns started to fire.

" Tsuna! Run! " Yamamoto shouted as a katana appeared in his hand and slashed the bullets, slicing them. Tsuna tried to run but a bullet flew past him, making him turn. Another bullet aimed at Tsuna and Gokudera pushed him out of the way, but resulted in himself getting shot.

" Juudaime!... Please be safe! " he said before fading away.

" Gokudera!... Yamamoto, watch out! " Tsuna warned. Yamamoto was stunned and let his guard down when he saw Gokudera disappear. Before Tsuna could reach him, the bullet had hit the swordsman first, making him fade away too.

" No!... Yamamoto! " Tsuna cried as he desperately tried to clutch at the fading guardian who just smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Almost immediately when Yamamoto disappeared, the shootings stopped and did not return. Tsuna fell to his knees, tears trickling down his cheeks. " Why?... Why not me?... Don't just leave me like that!... " It's not fair…

Reborn appeared out of nowhere and lightly pushed Tsuna. " Let's get out of here now. " the tutor said with a firm tone. Tsuna looked up and his eyes showed anguish and pain. The pain of losing all his guardians, his friends. Gone in mere seconds. He didn't even have time to react.

That's right, it was his fault that his friends had disappeared to who knows where and he couldn't do a single thing about it.

" Tsuna! Snap out of it! This is no time to be daydreaming! " Reborn snapped, knowing that Tsuna was silently blaming himself. That damned Lorenzo knew Tsuna's weakness was his friends! He'll pay for it!...

Tsuna's fists tightened as he picked himself up and was about to turn home when Reborn pulled at his pants. " Wrong direction. We're going to Tsukiyo's house. " Tsuna was about to open his mouth to speak when the baby interrupted, " I'll tell mama that you're at Gokudera's house so don't worry. " his eyes softened for a moment and immediately returning to its normal emotionless form.

Knock, knock

" Ah, Reborn and Tsunayoshi. Welcome! " Aaron greeted cheerfully as he ushered them in. Noticing Tsuna's pained expression, he squatted down and whispered to Reborn, " What happened? "

" All his guardians are gone. Lorenzo is trying to separate them from Tsuna by teleporting them to another dimension... That's also why I'm here. I would like to ask a favour from the Girasole guardians. Please help and protect Tsuna for the time being. "

Tsuna and Aaron had a surprised look on their faces, Neko popped his head out from the kitchen with cake smeared all over his mouth and Deimos glanced up from his book. What is that arcobaleno thinking? We were their enemies before and now he trusts us so much that he wants US to protect the Vongola tenth heir?

" If Tsukiyo was still around, I would have asked her... Since you are her friends, trusting you should not be much of an issue. This will only be till the crisis is over, so will you be our allies? " Reborn said, his voice almost sounding like he was pleading even though his face showed otherwise. There was an awkward silence as the other family looked at each other with unsure expressions. Tsuna continued to stare at Reborn whose face was hardened so as to hide the other side of him. The frantic side. After minutes which seemed like eternity, a friendly smile returned to Aaron's flawless face as he extended out a hand. " Alright, we will be your allies for now and we will treat Tsunayoshi as our own boss. "

Reborn accepted it graciously with a small hand and shook it. " Thank you. "

" Now, shall we have dinner? Fortunately I made extra so there's plenty to go around- Neko! How many times have I told you that you shouldn't eat dessert before dinner? "

" Nyaaa, I was too hungry... Sorry! " Neko apologised without the slightest hint of guilt.

" This is like a real family... " Tsuna thought, feeling the cozy atmosphere in the house.

" Freaking fragile kid. " Deimos mumbled as he sat down.

~~~~~~~.

" Ho! I see someone falling from the sky! It's- It's... OCTOPUS-HEAD! " Ryohei annouced, catching everyone's attention. They moved back, forming a space around a grassy patch that would be Gokudera's landing pad.

" What the helllllll!... " The storm guardian crashed into the ground, a handful of dirt and grass blades in his face. Not long after, the rain guardian dropped in as well, literally, right smack onto Gokudera, choking him. " Stupid baseball freak! Watch where you land! " he shouted, sending glares at the grinning swordsman. As they got up, they dusted themselves and when they looked up, Gokudera's face went pale and he started blubbering. " W-what the?... Y-you! T... Tsu... Tsukiyo? I- I thought you were... Were...- "

" Dead? Yeah I am. And so are you~ " she teased, laughing at the pure horror on their faces.

" What? I thought we were transported to another dimension? "

" Heaven can be another dimension too, you know. "

" Kufufu, Tsukiyo, please stop teasing the poor puppy. He might just hyperventilate and drop dead... " Mukuro said, standing and stretching himself.

" LAMBO IS HUNGRY!... " he wailed, flailing his limbs and rolling in the grass.

" Hey there's a campsite around here right? You guys can ask them for food! "

" Stupid woman! How about you huh? "

" Would you rather take care of Lambo? " she smiled with an underlying hint of sarcasm. One look at Lambo who was picking his nose and digging through the treasures in his hair, sent the others off on the search for food.

Tsukiyo grinned and settled Lambo on the soft grass. The lightning guardian began to run around but tripped over air, knocking out the ten-year bazooka from his hair. " I have a bad feeling about this... " Tsukiyo thought as she went over to the crying child.

" G-Gotta... Stay... Calm... " he mumbled, jumping into the bazooka and pulling the trigger. Poof. Pink smoke covered the area and dissipated quickly, revealing adult Lambo.

" Eh? O-Oh... Tsu-Tsukiyo. Hello... Is erm... The young Vongola around? " the older Lambo inquired, scanning the area.

Tsukiyo looked suspiciously at Lambo whose eyes were darting around. " No, why? "

" Erm... Haha, nothing. I... I should go now! " Lambo turned around, preparing to run.

Tsukiyo grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back sharply. " What's going on? "

" Something happened and we're erm... kind of divided!... Let me go! " Lambo shouted as he tried to struggle free from the girl's vice grip. She may be younger but boy, does she have strength...

" Well? Explain! " Tsukiyo demanded, tapping her foot impatiently.

" Tsuna ki- " Poof. Five minutes was up and in her hand was the young Lambo. Tsukiyo let off a heavy sigh and put Lambo down. What happened in the future?...

" Yo! We're back! " Yamamoto shouted as the guys appeared from the trees. No one except Yamamoto saw the grave look on Tsukiyo's face and confusion in her discoloured eyes. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, plastering a fake grin on her face and waved to them.

" We'll rest here for the night and set off to find help! " Tsukiyo said cheerfully, as they sat around a fire eating stolen food.

" You're too cheery Tsukiyo. What happened? " Mukuro asked, looking up from his meal.

" Ahaha, what do you mean? "

" When you show too much of that smile, it usually means you have something to hide since you don't really smile that much... Kufufu... I know you too well... "

" I have many secrets, secrets that even you have never heard of and never will... " she muttered, her hair shadowing her eyes.

~~~~~~~.

" Tsunayoshi, Hurry! You're going to be late! " Anxiety in Aaron's voice as he shook the Vongola Decimo from his peaceful slumber.

" W... What's going on?... " the drowsy Tsuna asked, rubbing his eyes.

" You're going to be late for school! Vongola Decimo, you should be punctual at all times! "

" Heh? " suddenly Tsuna became wide-eyed. " 7.55? Ah! I'm going to be late! "

" Damn right you are. I can't believe I have to wait for you. " Deimos stood at the doorway, tapping his feet impatiently. He was dressed and ready to go while Tsuna was still in his pyjamas. The frantic Tsuna scrambled round the room, trying to change and brush his teeth at the same time. What a sight to see. In two minutes flat, he was ready and dashed out of the house in a flash, with Deimos behind. Thank goodness Tsukiyo's home was very near the school.

" I... Made... It... In... Time... If I was late, Hiba… Oh yeah… " Tsuna panted, taking his seat. As he sat down, he noticed the emptiness of the class. Gokudera's, Yamamoto's and Tsukiyo's seat were empty. He sighed, feeling a little lonely without his friends.

" Ano... Tsuna-kun? " Tsuna looked up to see a orange haired girl in front of him, a worried look on her face.

" Kyoko-chan! "

" Have you seen onii-san?... He hasn't been home since yesterday... "

Oh boy. How am I going to explain that he has been teleported to another dimension which no one knows and if they may ever return? Hurry up! Think of an excuse! " Maybe he's gone for some training! With... With Master Pao Pao! " Tsuna nervously explained.

" He did say he wanted to find him... Okay then... Thanks Tsuna-kun! " she said as she went back to her seat with Hana who just scowled at him. She believed it...

The sky was overcast with dark, heavy clouds, threatening to rain with flashes of lightning and mild wind. Tsuna bit his lower lip. What am I going to do... I hope they're okay... Argh! Why am I so useless at this point of time?

" Sawada-san, please solve this equation. " the sensei said, snapping the teen from his thoughts.

" ... Hai. " he got up and moved towards the blackboard, picking up the chalk and solving it with ease, giving his classmates less opportunities to call him dame-Tsuna.

The day ended quickly and Tsuna walked briskly out of school.

" Hey, I'm supposed to be following you so stop moving all around by yourself! " Deimos said from behind.

" Ah, sorry... I was kind of distracted... " Tsuna replied despondently.

" I know you're worried about your friends but I'm sure they can handle it by themselves! Get a hold of yourself, you have more things to worry about now." after Deimos said that, Tsuna's phone vibrated.

" Eh? " he flipped open his phone and saw a message from an unknown number. Tsuna's eyes widened, filled with dread and anger. His hands trembled, perspiration sliding down his forehead. " No... No!... "
