A/N : Dear goodness, it has been forever since I last updated this. Well, as so you guys know, I will not be using this account to post new stories, since there's a few things happened and it makes me very upset.
However, for the sake of the reviewers who keep reviewing for this story to be complete, and since I also don't like it to be incomplete, so, I guess, here's the last chapter for this story! Do forgive me if I've accidentally made any mistakes here. I hope you'll enjoy reading though!
To my dearest reviewers and also to those who alerted, and favourite-d this story, I would like to say thank you very very much!

'Hihihi~'
Upon listening to that unusual, inhumanly laughter, Tsuna spontaneously turned his head around. He was clenching his fist hard, ready to punch anyone, or 'anything' which might come in his way, yet, there was not a single soul behind him at the moment. He was sure there was this creepy laughter though. Closing his eyes, he tried to remain calm and use this eerie silence as a medium to use his Hyper Intuition. He might figure out where the laughter came from.
'Hihihi~'
His eyes instantly snapped open. There it went again - the same laughter. Looking about, he sensed no presence of someone there; no, not even the little girl Reborn and his guardians had mentioned about. Panic and terror had started to engulf him, as her hair stood on end.
"Hihihi~"
Eventually, but slowly, the laughter seemed to be getting louder and louder by every minute passed. Tsuna felt as if he was being surrounded by girls who were all laughing that spine-chilling laughter at the same time. But no one was there! The cabin was totally empty, yet it seemed that the girl was near - just next to him.
"Who are you? What exactly do you want?" Tsuna asked in a low voice, making it almost sound like a growl.
He tried to show off some bravery, yet he could not. Deep down inside, he was feeling very weak. He felt that he had lost all hopes, just like how he lost his friends. Besides, who knew what might have happened to them. He saw, with his own eyes, how his Cloud Guardian was mysteriously hung on the plane wing, not to mention that Hibari was the strongest guardian he had. And, how about the others? What had happened to them? He was not sure either. He had no ideas nor answers to his own questions. The feelings he was having at the moment, was dreadful - no words could describe it.
Out of blue, Tsuna turned to his right. His Hyper Intuition had sensed something just a moment ago. He slightly sighed in relief as he saw nothing, but the floor; that is, before he heard that laughter again. When he turned to his left, a horrific sight greeted him. For the first time, he finally saw 'her'.
Shocked, he jumped backwards a bit, as he eyed the girl carefully with a heart thumping fiercely against his chest. The girl did nothing, only lying on the floor with her head slightly raised up. Her messy, black hair was covering most of her face, leaving nothing to be stared at but her hair. However, Tsuna could somehow feel that the girl was staring straight at him, though he could not see her eyes - he was not sure he wanted to see them either.
Carefully backing off, Tsuna went into his fighting stance. He did not care anymore. If he had to explode this aeroplane to get rid of this mysterious, ghostly figure of a girl, he would because he had nothing left. His friends were all gone, along with his tutor. He was at the point which he did not give a damn any longer. He was ready to fire the X-burner any time soon.
The girl slowly opened her mouth up, and to Tsuna's surprise, a very familiar of male's voice came out.
"Do you really intend to kill us all, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
Tsuna's eyebrows furrowed at this. Before the information could be digested in his brain, the creepy girl was slowly surrounded by an indigo mist, and her place then replaced by Chrome and Mukuro; both were standing perfectly fine. Tsuna's orange eyes were fixed at both of his mist guardians.
After a few moments of silence, Tsuna finally turned to his normal self and spoke up, "C-Chrome, what's the meaning of this?"
He thought that it would be better to ask his female guardian, instead of asking Mukuro. Who knew what kind of shenanigans would come out of his mouth?
"A-Ano, bossu... Mukuro-sama and Reborn-san-" Chrome did not manage to finish her sentence up though, as Gokudera had suddenly burst into the cabin.
"Jyuudaime!" He shouted, kneeling before Tsuna. The brunette just stared at him with his big, brown eyes in confusion. Why did Gokudera seek his forgiveness?
The next few moments were about chaotic. Lambo came, along with Yamamoto. Both of them were just laughing, and somehow Lambo kicked Tsuna's face, telling him not to stop acting so as he could get more grape candies. Ryohei also then burst into the cabin enthusiastically, punching the air around him and saying that he could not wait for them to land because he had a boxing competition to attend to. Hibari also stepped into the cabin, but this time, he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
"All right! CALM DOWN! What's happened already?" Tsuna finally shouted to clear the commotion up.
"Let me tell you what has happened, Tsuna", Reborn finally showed up out of nowhere and casually took a seat on Tsuna's shoulder.
"I know this is somehow related to you, Reborn", Tsuna said in a low voice.
"Don't look at me like that, Tsuna. After all, we need to get some entertainment." Reborn said, before he took a deep breath and started with his story. "That girl was actually Mukuro's illusion. We thought that it would be good to test Verde's new invention."
"What invention?" Tsuna asked.
"It almost seems like a hologram, only to be powered by the mist flames. Well then, as you can see, your guardians and I are safe and sound. We were actually hiding in the cargo. The cargo has been transformed so that we will find it as comfortable as the first class. I can't believe you didn't check the cargo though, but of course, you are dame-Tsuna after all."
"What did you mean by that, Reborn?" Tsuna then continued, "B-But that means... Hibari's figure-"
"Yes, that was all an illusion."
Tsuna was a bit shocked to hear that. Hibari was not someone who would go along with something like that. Being curious, Tsuna looked at Hibari, "And you are actually okay with that, Hibari-san?"
Hibari just gave him a side glance, before he answered, "I'm not. But this baby promises me a good fight."
Tsuna sweat dropped, "O-Of course."
"I don't agree either, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera suddenly interrupted. "I was more likely to be kidnapped by certain yakyuu-baka here."
"Master Pao-Pao told me that I could compete in this extreme boxing match!"
"Hahaha, I actually didn't know about this at first, but this baby told me that it would be fun to watch. So, I agreed!" Yamamoto then told them his reason to join in that plan.
To say the least, Tsuna was simply speechless as he leaned his back against the chair. He was expecting to have some nice, peaceful journey before he got tortured in Italy. It seemed like it was impossible if you had Reborn as your tutor. For the next following hours, the brunette did nothing but slept, feeling very tired with all those commotions which had happened.
When they had finally arrived, Tsuna gave a sigh of relief, before dragging himself out of the plane. As he got into the limousine sent by the Ninth for them, something caught his attention. A little girl, hugging a torn teddy bear and wearing shabby clothes, stood at the plane door and stared at them with a faint smile. Tsuna's eyes widened at the sight and his face turned as white as sheet, whilst the girl raised her hand and wave at him.
"What's wrong, bossu?" Chrome's voice brought the brunette back to reality.
"N-Nothing..."
Tsuna dared not to look back.
