Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. T-T Sad truth

Here goes Chapter 2!

~~~~~•~~~~~

1 year later...

1 year has passed since Vongola Decimo disappeared. 9 months before a new mafia family began rising. The famiglia is called the, "Notte Famiglia" or the "Night Family." The famiglia is rising in power, fast. From the last rank until their already on par with the Vongola, causing several mafia families to consider them as threats. Sending assassins, which proved that they are not to be messed with. All the assassins that managed to come back are either sane or in a life or death situation.

Vongola Mansion...

"Have anyone find out who is the boss of the Notte Family?" asked Gokudera.

"We tried everything Hayato. We just couldn't find anything.." replied Yamamoto, his face lacking it's usual cheerfulness. "Even our spies are useless.." It's true. All spies they've sent are either traumatized or injured. But, the only thing they managed to say are, "Demons. They are demons.. That's they all say..."

"Skylark-chan said he found some information. He should be returning right about now..." As Mukuro finished his sentence, the door burst open, revealing Hibari. He walked at his seat and sat down.

"I've sent my squad to get information about them. They only managed to get out alive without being found out.." Then he set down papers he'd been holding for the others to see. "This are all they found."

Aquaired information:

Notte Famiglia

-is a family consists of 8 guardians and 5 main advisors.

-said to be more powerful than Vongola Famiglia

-the eight guardians are extremely loyal to their boss

-all guardians and advisors are all trained assassins and hit man

-the second strongest hit man is one of their advisor

-all guardians have more than one flame.

Silence

"That's it...?" asked Hayato incredously. "This are just basic information!"

"Kufufu... Their security must be tight." chuckled Mukuro with no humour. "Even for Skylark-chan to break."

"Shut up, you perverted pineapple head..."

"Kufufufu.."

"That's enough to the extreme!" shouted Ryohei loudly, even though his expression's serious.

"Maa, maa, Sasagawa-sempai's right. Ne, Hayato?"

"Whatever you say, baseball-freak..."

Suddenly, sounds of metal caught their ears and looked where it came from, only to see Hibari and Mukuro fighting.

"Oya, Oya, getting rusty aren't we?" said Mukuro mockingly as he blocked a tonfa aimed at his head with his trident. He then swiveled as another tonfa was aimed at his side. "That's dangerous, Skylark-chan.."

"Pineapples must learn to shut up!"

Hibari strucked his tonfas in fast motions, aiming in different direction with deadly force. Mukuro blocked all of them and landed his own attacks. Weapons clashed as neither of the two landed a blow. Minutes past as objects started being hit and destroyed; meaning more damages.

"Shit!" cursed Hayato as he avoided broken glass shards that flew in his direction. "Damnit! You two are destroying this room!"

"Maa, maa, Hayato's right. We wouldn't want to have new repairs again, didn't we?" paficied the rain guardian. This immediately caught the two fighting young men's attention before they started fighting again. Hayato and Takeshi sighed.

"Extreme fight!" cheered Ryohei, only to be smacked by the storm guardian.

"Stop them, not encourage them, you idiot!"

"Yare, yare, you disturbed the great Lambo-sama's sleep..." muttered a yawning Lampo, only to sigh as someone shouted at him.

"Then try to stop them so you can sleep!" yelled Hayato as he glared at the sighing guardian.

"If only Tsuna-nii's here. He'll be able to stop those two..."

Silence.

Everyone stopped their movements, including the fighting ones looked at him in shock. This was the topic everyone avoided at all cost.

Lambo paled as he realized what he just said, tears threatening to fall.

"Well, it's our fault he's not..." muttered Takeshi as he came out of shock hearing a sensitive topic.

"Has anyone extremely found him yet?" asked Ryohei in a voice filled with sorrow.

Hibari who stopped fighting a certain herbivore, just shook his head, eyes filled with emotion akin to guilt.

"Nothing? Nothing! We've been searching for Tsuna-nii for almost 2 years already!" shouted Lambo as he cried. "Why can't we find him!? It's like he completely disappeared from the face of the earth!"

"Because he did..." Takeshi trailed off. "He disappeared because of us." 'He disappeared without us with him' thought Takeshi.

Two years. It's been almost two years since they last saw him. 1 year and 4 months have passed after they abandoned him. The arcobaleno blamed them. The CEDEF. And almost all of Vongola. They tried not to break. Not to cry. When their boss' other friends' knock some sense in them. The people that they thought were not so close to their own friend, know more about him than they thought. That's the only time they cried.

(Flashback) 2 years ago...

Hayato's POV..

I'm here, sitting next to my sister who's lying on the bed with bandages, shouting at me. I could care less about what she told me. After all they are true.

"Hayato! Answer me! Why did you do it!?" asked Aneki at me. I've been asking that myself. Why did I leave Juudaime? Because..

"He sent you on a mission when he knows you can't handle it..." I answered her. "He should sent me.." Yeah, he should've sent me instead. I was almost glaring at nothing in particular, when I froze at the next words that she uttered.

"Because he was supposed to send you!"

I froze. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Am I in reality or hallucinating? I don't even know anymore.

"I begged him to send me instead!"

"W-what?" It's the only thing that I can say. The only word that will give me the truth.

"He was supposed to send you. I begged him to send me instead, because I know that it's dangerous so I took your place!" said my sister as she cried. "H-he e-even s-said that h-he will do i-it h-himself so n-nobody can get hurt..." She sobbed. "B-but I told him that I could do it. He even send backup for me.. He's the only reason I'm alive right now."

I could feel my hands shaking. Without knowing it, I'm already at my room. In my bed, crying so hard that it echoed in the room. I don't care. I did something wrong. Something horrible. And I can't take it back. I cried for I-don't-know-how-long. The only thing I remember was that it's almost midnight when I stopped.

'The storm that never stops, halts and turned back...'

Takeshi's POV

I'm visiting my father's grave right now. I brought some flowers that represents family. I remembered what Reborn told us earlier. I sat down at grassy part of my father's grave. I've been thinking everything I did. I've came to a halt at the time when my father said his last words. 'L-live o-on T-Takeshi, p-protect e-everything y-you c-c-care f-for...' After that I've been filled with anguish. I can't find someone to blame his death to. So I blamed it on my own best friend. The first person to ever see behind my smiles. To accept the true me. Tsuna.

I then found out that my father was killed by some local yakuza and not mafioso.

I broke down. I cried. I screamed. I blamed myself. I blamed all this to myself. I wished I could go back in time.

I looked up at the sky...

It's dark...

The clouds never once moved from it's position; covering the sun. No rain nor storm stirred since that day. No lightning strike. No mist appeared... After all, they left the only thing that accept them...

The sky.

Their sky.

'The rain can't wash away it's own pain...'

Ryohei's POV

I locked myself in my room. I never once walked out. I'll never forget what I did.

Reborn asked me earlier; why do you follow him?

Yeah, why?

Because Sawada is the one who protect them. He and Kyoko.

He promised himself that he'll protect him.

He knows that promises are meant to be broken. What he doesn't expect is that he himself, would broke it too soon.

'What kind of older brother I am?'

'The sun that can't shine through the shame...'

Lambo's POV

I'm lying on my bed hugging a pillow close to my face. I miss Tsuna-nii. I miss him giving me candy. I missed him saying, 'there, there, don't cry' when Reborn bullied me again. I missed his hugs. I missed his voice. I missed his smile.

I just want him back!

'The lightning that can't protect without it's place...'

Chrome's POV

Bossu never came back.

The person that accepted me into his family.

The person that gave me the feeling to have a family.

Even my parents doesn't care about me.

Yet, he did. A complete stranger that I only met at the fight against the Varia.

He accepted me after all the things Mukuro-sama have done.

He found a way for me to have real organs, not illusions.

Yet, I abandoned him...

I cried and cried. Wishing to the stars that he'll forgive me and everyone else.

'The mist that is alone...'

Hibari's POV

I trapped myself in my own office. Not even talking to anyone, not even to my subordinates.

I've never been an emotional type.

But, remembering the Omnivore's words that he uttered on the inheritance ceremony, I can't help it.

'Clouds are never meant to be bound. If you want to bind my cloud, you have to go through me...'

Without knowing it, single lone tear escaped through my eyes, followed by more...

'The cloud that bind itself in it's mistakes...'

Mukuro's POV

KUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU!

For me, Sawada Tsunayoshi is a fool.

A fool that accepts everyone.

A fool that got me out of Vindice.

A fool that made the mafia more tolerable.

A fool that gave me the family, I am growing up to.

The Vongola Famiglia...

'The mist who can't attack..'

(End of Flashback)

The awkward silence was broken by the meeting room's door being open by the panting Basil.

"Gokudera-dono! The Notte Famiglia requests an alliance!"

The others stared wide- eyed. ( OoO ) (Lol!)

"Whaaaaaaat!?"

Somewhere in Italy...

"Are you ready, la mia famiglia?" asked a young man as he smirked.

The others only smiled evilly in response.

~~~AND CUT!~~~
