This is it! We're almost at the climax of the story! Since it's too long, I decided to divide it into 2 chapters. Enjoy:P

A NIGHTMARE

--

"Hibari-san! Dino-san! Are you guys okay?!" Tsuna said, approaching the injured Cloud Guardian and Bucking Bronco.

"I'm fine, but Bronco…he's…" Kyoya didn't finish his sentence. He just looked at Dino, lying motionlessly in Kyoya's lap. What Kyoya said was enough to make Tsuna realize that Dino's condition is critical.

Tsuna quickly asked the other guardian and companions who are not that injured to help carry Dino so that he could be brought to the hospital fast.

"Hm? That's odd?" A voice spoke behind Kyoya

When Kyoya turned around, he saw the Mist Guardian, Mukuro Rokudo. At first, Kyoya thought that Mukuro was talking to someone else until Mukuro went closer to Kyoya.

The Mist Guardian was the one that Kyoya hated being with the most. He's not just annoyed with him because Mukuro was the first person whom he humiliatingly lost to but also because everytime Mukuro's around, he looks at Kyoya and smiles at him all the time. A smile that looks like he's making fun of him. Kyoya always thought, 'What's up with him!?'.

Also, whenever Mukuro looks at him and he notices it, he feels like Mukuro wants to tell him something. Kyoya's often curious of why he feels that way about Mukuro. There are even times when he wants to approach Mukuro and ask him why he's looking and smiling at him all the time to get it over with but decided not to anyway.

"What do you want?" Kyoya said. His eyes that were looking at Mukuro almost look like they were saying 'Don't come near or I'll bite you to death.'

"Hm? Well I'm just wondering why is it that a very strong and skillful mafioso such as Dino was injured that badly but you seem to be alright? Why is that?"

"…It's because he took the attack that was meant for me" Kyoya said in a low voice, feeling a bit guilty of what happened to his tutor.

"So that means he saved you?..." Mukuro said then he chuckled a bit. "Well I guess things won't change. He would still go out of his way for you."

After Mukuro said that, he left immediately. The last thing Mukuro said made Kyoya so confused but before he could even ask Mukuro about what he meant, his strength gave in because of exhaustion and his body slowly went numb until darkness claimed him.

Since Kyoya was also injured, he was also taken to the hospital along with the other Vongola guardians who are badly injured as well. On the first night of Kyoya's stay at the hospital, he had a dream once again after so long…about Dino of course.

In his dream, he and Dino were in front of the gates of Namimori Middle School.

"Would you please calm down and let me explain!" Kyoya shouted, trying to stop Dino who was trying to get away from Kyoya.

"LET GO OF ME! There's no need for you to explain anything. What I saw is already enough to make me understand!" Dino shouted back.

"But what happened back there…it's not what you think! He forced me into it!"

"It's no use trying to deny it when I already saw what you two did with my own eyes so just LEAVE ME ALONE! I was wrong to think that you could change and for once, care for someone other than yourself but I guess no matter what happens, you're still the heartless brat who doesn't know how to care for othe-"

Just before Dino could finish what he's saying, Kyoya slapped . The pain that Dino felt in his cheek somehow put him to his senses again and he was able to calm down but unfortunately, Kyoya was so mad about what Dino said that it looked like all of Dino's anger was transferred to Kyoya.

"How dare you say that!…when you don't even know how badly I want to see you whenever you're away to Italy or how happy I'am when I'm with you and how worried I'am whenever something happens to you!"

Dino was surprised to see Kyoya like this. It's true he often sees Kyoya angry or annoyed but not this much. It's also the first time he saw Kyoya shout like that.

"K-Kyoya…"

Kyoya grabbed Dino's jacket forcefully with his two hands and looked at Dino directly in the eye.

"DO YOU HONESTLY KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, YOU IDIOT!!!" Kyoya said, with angry yet pained eyes. After he said those words, he immediately let go of Dino's jacket and ran away from Dino.

"KYOYA!" Dino tried to stop Kyoya but Kyoya ran so fast that Dino wasn't able to keep up with him. As Kyoya was running, he suddenly saw a bright light flashing at him then, he heard Dino once more, calling out his name.

And that's the last thing that happened in Kyoya's dream. When Kyoya woke up, he was sweating. Kyoya's dreams never fail to surprise him. He was wondering why in this dream, instead of the usual kinds of dreams he had of Dino, this time, they had a fight and a serious one. Kyoya wondered why he had that kind of dream but then he realized that he shouldn't be thinking of his dreams so much mainly because they aren't real anyway. So with that conclusion in mind, Kyoya decided to just focus on recovering so that he could get back to his duties immediately.

It was raining at Namimori.

Kyoya, carrying a bouquet of flowers, was walking by the quiet halls of Namimori Hospital. It's been 2 weeks since the battle of Vongola ended. Most of the guardians, including Kyoya have already recovered from the injuries they took during their past fights. Actually, Kyoya already got out of the hospital about a week ago but he keeps coming back almost every other day to visit Dino who's still recovering from his injuries. It may seem bothersome to visit Dino all the time but Kyoya didn't mind. After all, it is his fault why Dino became like this. Today, Kyoya's visiting Dino again.

As Kyoya was walking towards Dino's room, he saw Mukuro go outside the same room he was about to go to which made him pause.

"Oh! Hibari!" Mukuro greeted with a smile when he saw Kyoya.

"What are you doing here?" Kyoya said ignoring the kind gesture Mukuro gave.

"I was just visiting the Cavallone Boss. We just had an interesting chat"

"…"

Kyoya remembered what Mukuro said when the battle was over. About the time Mukuro said that Dino would get out of his way for Kyoya.

Mukuro noticed that Kyoya was just staring at him. He had a feeling that there's something that Kyoya wants to say.

"I can see it in your eyes that you want to tell me something. Is there?" the mist guardian asked.

"About what you said two weeks ago…when you told me about Dino…what did you mean by it?"

"Hmm…who knows?" Mukuro said in a 'I won't tell you unless you beg me to' kind of voice which made Kyoya annoyed again.

"Well anyway, you shouldn't care about what I said that time. What you should care about… is the illusion that's been in front of you the whole time."

"Illusion?"

"Illusions have great power. They aren't just used to trick people but to somehow hide something from people. By using illusions, people can change or create many things…It can even create fake memories or maybe hide them."

"What are you saying exactly?"

"Are you sure that what you are seeing is true and not some mere illusions? Are you sure you're memories are real and not made up by the people around you. Think about that."

After that, Mukuro left once again, leaving Kyoya so confused once more.

'What the hell is he talking about?! I can never understand the things that guy says to me'

Okay, I think I'll cut the story from here. Sorry if ever you think Kyoya's latest dream wasn't good. I don't really know how to make a lover's quarrel scene for Kyoya and Dino. This is the best I could come up with so if ever you disliked it, I'm really sorry. The next chapter's almost done so I think it'll be published almost the same day as this one.
