A/N : Hello again! Wow, it has been a while since the first chapter came out. Seriously, I just had no idea what to do. I suddenly went blank, if you get what I mean.
Anyways, this is the second chapter, probably much shorter from the previous one but I seriously hope you would enjoy it. Again, pardon me if you think this story isn't good. I've tried my best. And to the reviewers, thank you for reviewing. You are the reason as to why I continue this story!

Time passed very slow; that was what Tsuna thought. After the incident earlier, none of them saw Reborn, Lambo nor Yamamoto. Tsuna thought that maybe Reborn was just trying to get his rest while Yamamoto was accompanying Lambo because Lambo still couldn't calm down. After all, we all knew that Lambo was hard to calm down except there were grape candies in front of his eyes. Unfortunately, they had none.
But when after 2 hours that Lambo and Yamamoto were nowhere to be found, Tsuna decided that they probably should start searching for them. He was worried that something might happen, especially when there were two of them had admitted that they saw a girl; a little girl.
As Tsuna was about to get up from his seat, Gokudera's voice was heard.
"Where are you going, Jyuudaime?," asked Gokudera and one could tell he was worried about Tsuna. Who wouldn't worry about him? Tsuna didn't stop sweat dropping and he always shifted uncomfortably on his place.
"Well, I was going to find Yamamoto and Lambo." Tsuna said with a low voice, his eyes observing his surroundings; trying to see if there were figures of the said guardians walked into the cabin.
"Tch, that yakyuu-baka and ahoshi could take care of themselves!"
"But you know, I actually kind of believe with what Lambo said. I mean, I know Lambo always plays around, but this time, you also could see how terrified was he."
Looking at the frown which appeared on Gokudera's face, Tsuna quickly continued, "Well, if you don't believe Lambo, how about Reborn? He's not that type of person who always jokes around. Somehow, I think there must be something wrong with this airplane." He tried to say the last sentence as natural as he could.
Gokudera blinked as he kept his mouth shut, knowing that if he uttered another word, his Jyuudaime would be more worried instead of feeling much better. He actually felt something was wrong with this airplane too, but because he didn't want his Jyuudaime to be agitated, he just kept quiet and pretended nothing happened.
"M-Mukuro-sama, w-why don't you tell bossu what happened earlier?," voiced Chrome. Tsuna turned to Mukuro and Chrome's seats when he heard he was being mentioned. Mukuro just sat there firmly. His face seemed intense and none of his 'kufufufu' was heard, which Tsuna glad to admit that it finally stopped.
Getting no response from the said Mist Guardian, Chrome tried to call for her Mukuro-sama again, "Mukuro-sama?"
Mukuro turned to look at Chrome. He seemed to just realize that Chrome was calling out his name.
"What is it, Chrome?"
"A-Ano, I was wondering if you should tell them, Mukuro-sama." Mukuro then turned to look at the other Vongola members who were staring at him, as if asking him what had happened. He just came to his sense that he was being stared for quite a while.
"M-Mukuro, tell us what happened," interrupted Tsuna. Hesitation could be detected in his voice.
At first, Mukuro just kept quiet. He looked like he was in deep of thought. Tsuna thought that maybe Mukuro just wanted to keep that story to himself. Besides, Tsuna also wasn't sure if he wanted to hear the story. It seemed like it would not be something pleasant.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi. Will you believe if I say that not only us who are in this airplane?"
Tsuna gulped. D-Did Mukuro have seen 'her' too?
"Oi, don't try to scare Jyuudaime off!," shouted Gokudera. He also began to feel goosebumps.
"I do not, if you think that what I intend to do. If you don't believe me, then, there is no need to explain to you." Mukuro said as he crossed his arm, watching Tsuna with his different colored-eyes. Tsuna sweat dropped. Should he just ask Mukuro what happened?
"Mukuro! Just tell us to the extreme!" Ryohei's voice was heard across the cabin. He looked pretty excited and curious at the same time, completely having different reaction from the other guardians. Chrome had already shifted uncomfortably in her place. Mukuro just stared at Tsuna seriously while Gokudera's sweats could be clearly seen on his face.
"Kufufu, since someone is so excited to listen to my story, I shall start telling you all now." Tsuna couldn't help but thought that Mukuro actually was amused despite their current situation.
Hearing Mukuro's words, Ryohei quickly rushed towards them, standing next to Tsuna's seat.
"I was walking to your cloud guardian's cabin earlier, Sawada Tsunayoshi," said Mukuro after there was a minute of silence among them, signalling that the 'story-telling' began.
"Wait, why you went to Hibari-san's cabin?" Tsuna asked although he could guess what Mukuro's answer would be.
"Tch, I bet he went there just to piss Hibari off, Jyuudaime."
"E-Eh? Mukuro! Did you really piss Hibari-san off?" Tsuna stuttered, feeling afraid that Hibari might burst into their cabin any moment.
"Do you, or do you not want to listen to my story?," Mukuro had started to feel impatient. These guys wanted to hear his story and then, as he was just about to tell them the story, they interrupted him. How polite they were.
Tsuna rubbed his hand, feeling guilty as he gave him a sheepish smile.
"S-Sorry. Please continue then, Mukuro.."
Half an hour ago.. [Flashback]
"Kufufu, I'm getting bored," said Mukuro as he got up from his seat. This flight sure took a while, he thought.
"A-Ano, where are you going, Mukuro-sama?"
"I'm trying to find some entertainments, Chrome-dear. Maybe that skylark can give me one." Mukuro slowly made his way to Hibari's cabin, leaving Chrome who just blinked and made no move to stop him.
Mukuro couldn't help but felt a little excited. He really wanted to make that skylark mad.
'Hihihihi~', a child's laughter was suddenly heard, stopping Mukuro who was in his track as he was just about step in to Hibari's cabin.
Mukuro frowned. Did.. he just hear a laugh?
Turning his head, he observed his surrounding. Nothing seemed wrong. He just stood there, as if waiting for something to happen. Apparently, nothing happened. So, whose laugh did he just hear? He silently sighed. All this thing had messed his mind up; and probably he would go crazy like that arcobaleno too, he had no doubt about that if this continued much longer.
Therefore, he just shrugged it off and continued with what he was doing earlier. He stepped into Hibari's cabin, looking around as he searched for the said figure. He smirked when he noticed the presence of Hibari, sitting on one of the seats in third row.
"Oya oya~ Look who's here~," said Mukuro after he stood beside Hibari's seat. Hibari's eyes just kept closed. His face showed no emotions.
"Kufufu, are you trying to ignore my presence, Hibari Kyoya?," Mukuro tried to get Hibari's attention again. Sadly, his attempts just failed. Hibari kept ignoring him. Hibari Kyoya never ignored him, he knew that. That guy always attacked him whenever he had chance.
Mukuro had started thinking to use his illusions as he began to feel annoyed with Hibari's attitude towards him, before a familiar voice heard, "What are you doing here, herbivore?"
He quickly turned his head, really shocked to see Hibari was standing behind him. He then turned his head back to the seat; more shocked to see no one was there!
"I'm asking you, pineapple. What are you doing here?," said Hibari, feeling irritated as Mukuro just stood there, keeping his mouth shut though Hibari wanted the answer now. He didn't appreciate anyone being in his cabin. He did tell this to the arcobaleno. That was why the arcobaleno let he had this cabin all by himself.
"Where are you from?," asked Mukuro with a low voice, trying to regain his composure.
"Why you're being such busy-body, pineapple?" Hibari narrowed his eyes to Mukuro's question.
"I asked, where are you from." Mukuro said again, his voice was really low that it almost sounded like a growl.
Staring at Mukuro, Hibari knew something was wrong with the said mist guardian. It was as if Mukuro was trying his best not to just run out from the cabin and he wondered what had made the mist guardian act that way. Being more often with his enemy lately, somehow, made him realize about his enemy's character more well.
"I went to toilet. Why?" Hibari decided to just answer his rival's question.
"You weren't here earlier?"
"Pineapple-herbivore, little did I know you were that dumb. If I went to toilet, of course I wasn't here."
Spontaneously, Mukuro quickly walked away, leaving the cabin without any hesitations. He just couldn't bear to be in there one more minute. Hibari just stared at Mukuro as if the said guy had lost his mind.
"HIIEEEEE!" A familiar loud scream was heard right after Mukuro finished his story. Tsuna already had sweats all over his body although the airplane did have air-conditioner.
"S-So, H-Hibari-san w-who Mukuro saw earlier.. wasn't Hibari-san?!," asked Tsuna, sweat dropping.
"Obviously not, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Oh! That was really extreme! Did we finally encounter a ghost?!," shouted the excited Ryohei. Almost everyone wanted to facepalm at the sentence.
"H-Hiee! O-Onee-san, d-don't say it out loud!" Tsuna quickly turned his head furiously, afraid that the said little girl might come out of nowhere and attack them.
"Shut up, turf-top!," yelled Gokudera, furious with Ryohei who seemed oblivious. He could swear that the Ryohei was becoming more and more like Yamamoto each day, but well, he already thought that Ryohei already had a brain made of muscles, so it wasn't surprising.
"G-Gokudera-kun, this is not a time to fight," advised the scared Tsuna.
"Tch," was that all Gokudera's reply after his Jyuudaime had ordered him to stay calm.
"Well, what should we do now? Yamamoto still isn't here."
"We can go out and search for them?"
Tsuna sighed desperately. This airplane wasn't 'that' big. It wasn't like a mansion, he meant. But why, why Yamamoto and Lambo still couldn't be found? Where were they hiding? Tsuna had already started to worry. They had searched for them in every cabin they could. Heck, they even almost got bitten to death by Hibari who thought they were intruding his private space.
"Jyuudaime..," said a low voice of Gokudera. He knew that his boss was frustrated as they still hadn't found Yamamoto or Lambo's track anywhere.
"I know.." Tsuna sighed again. He really hoped that both of his guardians were all right. He couldn't bear with the thought that something might happen to both of them.
"S-Sawada Tsunayoshi.."
As Tsuna was just about to return to his own cabin, Mukuro called out for him, a bit stuttering in his sentence; which made Tsuna almost go speechless. I mean, Mukuro never stuttered. What made him like that? Did he finally see something?
Tsuna quickened his pace towards Mukuro who was completely stunned in front of the door to cock pit; his heart beat fast. Mukuro didn't even move when Tsuna approached him.
"What is it, Mukuro?," asked Tsuna curiously but Mukuro just stood there, not answering Tsuna's question. Out of curious, Tsuna moved to Mukuro's side, only happened to see...
BLOOD!
"HIEEE! B-BLOOD?!" Tsuna quickly backed off and stumbled on his feet before falling to the cold floor. His face clearly showed fear and his eyes widened in shock. He felt his legs were trembling greatly and his heart didn't stop praying for his guardians' safety.
"WHAT IS IT, JYUUDAIME?!" Upon hearing Tsuna's voice, Gokudera quickly ran towards Tsuna. Ryohei also did the same while shouting what the hell happened to the extreme. Once both of them reached Tsuna, they saw it.
There it was.. blood!
Whose blood was it? Where did it come from? All these things kept playing in those people's mind. Ryohei, for once, dumbfounded and got speechless. Gokudera gulped silently. This showed no good sign, he knew it. He quickly turned his head, avoiding the sight of blood; only happened to bump into something. Something that made all colors from his face faded.
