"What is this feeling?" Lambo Bovino asked to the star-littered night sky. It was like he was in an immense world of pure pleasure. It was enthralling. He was allured at the sweet scent that reached his nose. It was ecstasy. The whiff of blood in the area was strong... too strong for him to forget the sensation of drinking blood.

It felt like the time when the young Miura-hime got a supply of Lightning blood and let him sip some of it.

He was linked to Miura-hime for a while. Pledging his allegiance to Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't hinder him in making another pact with the young Miura-hime. It was a sad fact that he couldn't protect her from her imminent passing.

He felt the scent of blood coming nearer. "Could it be...?" his eyes staring at the area where the scent came from. "The Sawada Prince?" he muttered. He instantly knew one thing though.

His Underworld gene won't be just a title anymore.


Chapter 8: Another Sky Blood


Tsuna's presence made all the wolves go back into action. It astonished Giotto how a mere presence of the small vampire prince made such a difference.

He almost wished he was a wolf at the time. Almost.

The Sereno, Tempesta, Pioggia and two Nebbia wolves were all inside the classroom, waiting for orders and ensuring the prince's safety.

"I don't want to resort to fighting, Sensei. Please stop this," Tsuna pleaded. The gray wolf chuckled disdainfully at Tsuna's display. "I don't really understand the reason why the Vongola killed my family. But I don't want to resort violence. Even to my parents' murderer-"

A spark of coldness hit the air. All of the wolves tensed up.

Tsuna's vampiric instinct shouted at him to kill the man in front of him. He could order his wolves to do it, but the consequence of such action was too much- a full scale war between Vongola and the wolves and him—the last pure-blood?

That's definitely not a good thing.

Suddenly, a man broke the window and barged into the classroom. "Everyone, retreat!" Tsuna's timid voice brought more effect than what Giotto and Dino thought. It forced all wolves to revert back to their human form.

All of the guardians muttered his name or what they usually call him. They watched as Tsuna was separated from them by a wall of Mist flames. Both Mukuro and Chrome started doing their jobs as the Mist guardians to destroy the barrier while the other guardians banged their fist on it in frustration.

As the guardians gave him concerned and worried looks, Tsuna walked forward. "I've met you before... h-haven't I?" Tsuna stuttered nervously.

The black, tall man nodded. His eyes were bright red and his black skin glowed with an odd presence of mist. "Tsunayoshi-kun." He smirked.

"Bouche... Croquant..." Tsuna called. "You were a member of Nono clan, who were part of Miura alliance." Miura alliance consists of families who can't ally with Sawada Alliance (since Sawada clan's alliance has so many families that wished to join).

Bouche increased the strength of the wall of Mist Flames in order to prevent both hunters and the wolves from coming any closer. "Were. Nicely put."

"Tsuna!" Both Dino and Yamamoto exclaimed as they desperately banged their fists on the wall of mist.

"Sawada-kun," Giotto muttered while looking slightly worried at the situation.

Bouche grinned wickedly when he stood in front of Tsuna. "Now then, Tsunayoshi-kun. Let's have a taste of that wretchedly pure blood of yours..."

Bouche sank his fang to Tsuna's neck. The pain was unbearable. The lower vampire bit him without any restraint. Unable to think anymore, Tsuna shouted with all he could.

Stop it. No. I don't want this. It hurts. Let me go!

Which one should he say? Will any of it reach Bouche's deluded ears? Will the Phlegm stop?

The barrier finally broke with the Mist guardian's work. "Sawada-kun!" Giotto shouted as he ran towards the vampire's direction.

"What the hell are you doing, hunter?" Gokudera shouted. The guardians tried to go to the vampires before any more damage occurred to the pureblood. However, it seemed so agonizingly slow.

"He might be a vampire, but he's my student first." Giotto charged. "Zero point break-!" Before he coud finish making the pure negative sky flames, the 'other kind' abruptly changed into a monster, then finally ran and escaped through the windows.

"Don't c-chase him...!" Tsuna gasped desperately to his wolves.

"Sawada-kun..." Giotto held him.

He was too close to Tsuna. So unbearably close that the vampire smelled that alluring blood that he couldn't deny having. 'This smell...' Tsuna thought. "No... not this smell," Tsuna moaned as he shed tears. His vampire instinct yearned for this blood. It wouldn't be denied. He started to lick Giotto's wounds despite the fact that he didn't want to.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," mumbled Giotto as he watched the vampire. He however, willingly slit his wrist with a piece of window glass laying nearby. "You turned out to be more important... than a simple rampaging vampire that needs to be hunted."

Tsuna cried at the offered wrist, but nevertheless, drank the blood.

"No..." He said during the intervals. "Bringing Dino-san into this world was bad enough..." He faced Giotto with teary eyes, face full of anguish. "I don't want to bring you too..."

The vampiric Tsuna rejoiced. He has found another Sky Blood.

The human part of Tsuna cried. Can he do nothing but bring misfortune to the people he knew?


"What should we do now, Tenth?" Gokudera asked while the Nebbias put illusions of a normal, undamaged classroom. Giotto had defrosted his negative flames from all the students and told them incredible lies while making up excuses to the principal along with Dino.

"I will go to the Miura clan's ruins... alone." Tsuna stated.

"Um, Tsuna..." Yamamoto smiled awkwardly.

Ryohei ran a hand on the back of his neck. "Please understand, Sawada. We... we're just..." Ryohei went silent.

Chrome looked to her other half and nodded. "Just go, boss," Chrome said quietly.

"I agree with Chrome," said Mukuro aloud. 'We already know you're hiding something from us,' Mukuro told him from the mind link. He chuckled openly.

Gokudera tried to protest, "I still don't-!"

"I won't try to kill myself while I go! I-I promise!" Tsuna cut Gokudera's protest, knowing what it was before he said it.

Silence echoed between the guardians and the vampire.

"Fine, Tenth. Please keep that promise..."

Tsuna nodded. He... still can't tell his wolves about that after all...


"My, oh my, what was my order, Bou-chan?" A white haired man asked. His eyes squinted like a fox.

Bouche knelt in front of him, bowing his head. "To confirm about Sawada Tsunayoshi..." Bouche replied nervously.

"Did I order you to be a Blood Addict?" The white haired man asked again, grinning.

"N-no. But that blood was-!"

DAR!

The whole body of Bouche Croquant exploded into bloody pieces. "That wasn't necessary, Byakuran..." A red-haired boy spoke. His eyes gleamed red.

"Oh it is, Enma-kun. We can't have an unnecessary bloodsucker prey on him, no?" said Byakuran as he licked the blood on his face. "Of course there won't be a Phlegm that won't turn into a Blood Addict after tasting him."

Enma furrowed his eyebrow. He stood from his chair and walked to Byakuran's place."Fine then. Deal," he stated.

Byakuran grinned like there was no tomorrow. "I won't disappoint you, Enma-kun," he said and laughed.

"Come, Adel." Enma left the room with his personal assistant.

"There won't be a bloodsucker... that won't turn into a Blood Addict after tasting him..." Byakuran repeated his own words. Sounding absolutely convinced of his statement.


Oh my, it seems that I unconsciously made the story longer and longer... or maybe Solera and Crythos's amazing narration technique made it longer? I'm not sure.

I appreciate all Alerts, Favorites, and the silent readers out there. Thanks! But... I love my reviewers triple time ;D

So, try and... review? Please... ;)
