It was somewhat intimidating, Tsuna admitted. Just somewhat, not completely and utterly intimidating; matter of fact, it wasn't even scary. He didn't feel scared, just a little intimidated. Just how easy was it to become isolated by everyone else? Apparently, this easy. Lately everyone was becoming so laid back - Reborn, Gokudera, Bianchi and the rest - and he knew for a fact that this wasn't just "jealousy". No, this was much more: there is this gut wrenched feeling inside his stomach that reeks of death, of his demise. He knew he should have told someone and that Reborn would hurt him because of that, but it wasn't like he had any time to! Everyone looked so relaxed, so happy. Tsuna didn't want to be the one to ruin that and besides, maybe this feeling was just there because he is dame-Tsuna, No Good Tsuna?

Consumed by thoughts, Tsuna grabbed his backpack that laid on the back of his seat. He sighed then proceeded out of his empty classroom, quickly fleeing Namimori Middle School - Hibari is still inside of the middle school and Tsuna didn't want to run into him and explain the reasons on why he was STILL here. Going down the halls, the doors and stairs, he thought. And thought. And thought some more. He didn't even turn his head when glass shattered behind him; he didn't notice it. But when he heard that familiar cry, he immediately went out of his head to turn around.

He didn't see Lambo, the cause of most of the crying and screaming sounds, but instead he witnessed a domino affect on the windows. Going clockwise near him the windows of Namimori Middle School blew up, finally getting his attention. He looked at them for a second, watching it all shatter, then had the urge to run, to run as fast as he could!

Hibari would be so pissed and would bite me to death just because I witnessed it! Tsuna thought as he ran out of his middle school, past the gates and everything.

And that was when he noticed that a scream was following him, a familiar scream. Turning his head slightly he glanced and saw a small figure following him: Lambo.

"Waaaaiiiiitttt!" Lambo yelled after Tsuna. "Lambo didn't do it!"

"Lying is bad, Lambo!"

"Wait, Tsuna!"

Tsuna stopped running, feeling pity for the younger child. Lambo ran up to Tsuna, about to tell him everything in a breath. But before he could do that, Tsuna began talking first using his motherly tone, "Lambo, what did you do to those-"

"Lambo DIDN'T do it! It was the bad guys!"

Tsuna stopped - bad guys? Could this be related to that awful feeling he was having? He listened to Lambo - the coherent part, anyways - of what had happened earlier on.

"Lambo was just walking and then BAM! It stopped working and so now they will be mad!" The five year old kid proceeded to cry again, this time reaching Tsuna's heart; the soon to be Maifia boss couldn't handle it when he saw people crying. Earlier, he didn't really notice Lambo's cries because he was off in his own little world, but now he was at a total loss.

"It's OK Lambo, really." Tsuna reached his hands out so that he could comfort the younger child.

"NO IT'S NOT, SEE!" Lambo, ignoring Tsuna's comforting arms, went to pull the 10 year bazooka out of his hair. "SEE, SEE?" He aimed it at Tsuna then pulled the trigger.

Right when Lambo pulled the trigger, smoke appeared. Not the usual pink smoke that the bazooka produced, but another kind. It was dark in color, too dark to make out if it was black or a dark blue or purple or a very crimson red. Or maybe it was just Lambo. Maybe he was colorblind. Lambo saw that there was movement, but not from him or Tsuna; it was from the people who had caused this mysterious smoke. Lambo was knocked out by one of those mysterious people and Tsuna was taken. Everything was to abrupt for any of the two Vongola to react; these men were obviously highly skilled, probably trained assassins.

As Tsuna went, something stayed. A person, too wounded to move stayed where the tenth once was. Lambo, not able to witness the whole scene, thought that he had wounded his precious "big brother".

...Strangely, that person resembled the tenth generation Vongola boss, Tsunayoshi Sawada.


Hibari was in a bad mood; someone dared to destroy his precious Namimori. He was out on a hunt to bite someone to death. Right now, it didn't matter if he caught the damn people who ruined his school - he would in time - but he felt like biting someone to death right now. Anyone really. Wait. Not anyone. Forget that, he wanted someone strong. Someone very strong; it made everything much more interesting.

With one more look at Namimori, he made a "tch" sound. Yeah, he was extremely pissed off. Who the hell had enough power and nerve to ruin his school? Even the infant and his crew had at least some respect; they always cleaned up their mess afterwards.

All of the windows were shattered. All of the walls were either tilting to the side, ready to fall or already fallen. The floor - oh, the floor - was the most damaged; what was supposed to be flat surface had devolved, wearing a rocky attire, resulting in the foundation to break -

Fucking asses.

The fucking school looks like it was doomed eternal damnation from the gods.

Hibari began to quicken his pace as he swore to himself that he'll bite those fucking -

Wait. Blood. He smelt it - the lingering smell of blood. A smirk appeared on his face as he got out his tonfus. Prey, he thought. There is my prey. Following the scent he ran with resolve. Let whoever he find receive mercy from his rage...

What he saw wasn't something that he could bite. No, it looked more like a weak herbivore that he couldn't deny - wouldn't deny. Yeah, he saw that herbivore before - that annoying herbivore, if he must add - but that look he gave... He couldn't deny his protection to him. He seemed too much like his pets. When the boy noticed the look in Hibari's eyes, the herbivore jumped on his leg, holding on to him for his dear life.

"Herbivore, what are you doing?"

"Lambo killed Tsuna!"

...What?

Feeling the questioning glare he got from Hibari, Lambo decided to explain. The explanation part was great, but how the poor kid went about it was... difficult to comprehend.

"BOOM! And then *cries* yeah and *wipes snot on Hibari's leg* blood and BOOM!"

"...Where is that herbivore?"

Lambo stopped talking and then looked up with hopeful eyes. "Can you save him?"

"..."

Taking that as a 'yes' Lambo jumped off of Hibari's leg then proceeded to 'drag' him to where he left Tsuna. Hibari noticed that the little cow had been stained in blood... In familiar blood. This was not the blood he had smelt earlier. Brushing that aside, he followed the kid, taking a mental note of everything; he will know everything in due time. He just had to remember the questions so he could remember if he answered them or not.

After about sixteen minutes, they stopped only to find a Tsuna-less place. Though Hibari wasn't fooled; the herbivore has, indeed, been here. He smelt it - his blood, that is. Not only that but he saw it too - it was everywhere. Deciding to leave the herbivore, Hibari walked off to go track him. Tsuna had a duty as a Namimori student to not die.

"Hi-"

"Stay."

Lambo didn't push the matter any further.


Looking out the window, he sighed. It was already this late. His student should have been here. Not only that, but that stupid cow was also late; Mama was getting worried. Standing up, Reborn brushed off the imaginary dust on his suit then jumped off, heading toward the door. He then made his way downstairs and then out the door with the resolve of finding both of the missing idiots.

After informing all of the guardians of the missing sky - well, most of them; he couldn't get a hold of Lambo because he too was missing, and he couldn't get ahold of Hibari - they all ended up meeting at the school. Reborn, who was first to get there, found out the reason why he couldn't get a hold of the cloud guardian - the school, it had been ruined, it had been trashed. Reborn lowered his fedora so he could hide his face; it wasn't like he needed to - he was in the darkness, hiding in the shadows, waiting. Waiting for them to show up.

Gokudera, being the second one to arrive - not like that was a surprise - immediately began cursing, yelling every foul words and phrases he could think of - all directed at himself. He was Tenth's right hand man! How could he allow this to happen to his boss?

Takeshi arrived third. Noticing the school and how Gokudera was acting, he tried to stay positive. That was all he could do at the moment.

"Whoa, look at the party Tsuna had without us! It must've been fun." Gokudera sharply turned around, grabbing the rain guardian by the collar. He quickly he him go when he saw that glint in the corner of his eyes. "Maa, maa, Gokudera. Don't worry. We'll get our turn soon enough."

"Tch." Gokudera turned his head away from Takeshi then went to lean on one of Namimori's unbroken walls.

"Wow whoever did this EXTREME disaster must have been EXTREMELY angry!"

"...Boss..."

"Took you guys long enough, kora."

"You all will be charged for making me wait."

All of the Tenth's guardians did an abrupt turn to the familiar voices - the Arcobaleno. Or at least, some of them. Some meaning four: Colonello, Mammon, Fon and Reborn.

"Be quiet. We're waiting for the rest to show up." Reborn said using monotone words. The guardians, not used to that voice, flinched. The three Arcobaleno just sighed, knowing the voice well - he used to use that voice a long, long time ago.

So the guardians decided to shut their mouths, trying to not to bring any unwanted emotions - such as anger - into the strongest hitman.

About an hour or so passed before all of the Arcobaleno. When they arrived, Reborn eyed them harshly. Then, ignoring the guardians cluelessness, he threw something towards his fellow comrades. Colonello, Fon, and Mammon made no effort to grab the object; they had already seen it when they got here. Lal, noticing that nobody would grab the damn thing, walked over and picked up the object. Lowering down his fedora, he threw two more objects, one landing by Verde's feet and then another one landing by Skull's feet.

Yuni looked at the objects, not getting the hint. The guardians didn't get it either. But, seeing the looks the three Arcolbaleno were giving, they decided to rest their hopes in Reborn. They knew that he had answers. He always had answers.

"We - excluding Yuni - were here hours ago, the same exact spot where Tsuna, the heir to the next Vongola boss, was kidnapped."

The guardians widened their eyes; their precious Tsuna was kidnapped!

Yuni also widened her eyes, but not for the same reason. She knew what Reborn was hinting at. Looking at Colonello's army colored bandanna, at Lal's and Verde's glasses, she knew. She knew that they'd been here, but at the same time they didn't.

"It looks like our future selves were rather busy!" Verde said, smirking. Nobody liked the glint in his eye because it gave out "madness".

"With a bloody Tsuna." Reborn said as he threw a piece of torn piece of clothing their way. "Tell me whose blood it is. You brought it like I told you, right?"

Fon closed his eyes as Verde took something out of his white lab coat. They all knew whose blood it was; they could feel it in their gut. Well, all except the guardians.

Right now the guardians felt ignored. They felt like they were interrupting an Arcobaleno meeting or something.

"Reborn, I don't und -"

Reborn shot a bullet that slid across Gokudera's left cheek, shutting him up. Once he was silent, Verde concluded, "Tsunayoshi Sawada."

Chrome covered her mouth, taking a step back and as she did that, Ryohei opened his mouth which nearly touched the ground. Takeshi dropped his smile, now in a trance that forced his face to be stoic. Gokudera just stared at the piece of torn clothing, thinking, that's a lot of fucking blood.

Reborn glared at the guardians to bring them back to reality. After they flinched at the sight, he softened his look then pulled down his fedora; he was pissed, but not at them. Not at Tsuna, not at himself. Not at anyone, really. He was just pissed. But Mammon knew why - he wasn't called 'Esper Mammon' for nothing after all. He was angry because he didn't know what the hell was happening. If anyone got close enough to him, they would find out that the hitman didn't find pleasure in being in an event he didn't fully understand.

What a big baby, Mammon thought ironically.

"THE -" Before the stuntman could proceed on to what he was going to say, Colonello's foot smashed into his face.

Yuni suddenly felt it. She felt it in her bones, in her bones, in her veins, in her everything - she was unneeded. Before she hit the ground, Takeshi, the closest person who had the ability to catch her, caught her. He looked at he as her face going pale. Then he saw her pacifier disappear. It was there, and then it wasn't.

The other Arcobaleno widened their eyes, feeling it. Feeling the power of the pacifier disappear from this world completely. They all began to crowd their sky, the guardians crowding as well.

"...Stop crowding." A certain guardian said.

Most of them cracked their heads, seeing Hibari. When they gasped, the others decided to take a quick glance at the cloud only to see his left shoulder covered in blood. It almost seemed that the guy... carried someone. Over his shoulder. But that wasn't the only peculiar sight they saw because once their eyes moved down to Hibari's legs, they saw a certain cow clinging to them.

Seeing the odd looks he was getting from everybody, he lowered his glare, turning his head, about to walk away - he had no patience to mess around with confusion - but stopped once he noticed a certain Arcobaleno in a certain rain's arms. "A lot of people are getting hurt tonight," He muttered. Then, raising his voice slightly, he said, "Room 215. And take this herbivore with you." Reborn jumped, landing right in front of Lambo, then grabbed his collar to pull him away. Before Hibari left, Reborn saw that in the corner of his eyes was blood lust. It was as if his adrenalin was at it's highest, though... that usually only came when he was in the middle of a fight.

The group went to the nearest hospital and placed Yuni in there. Apparently, there was nothing else wrong with her besides that she was sleeping. But this sleep wasn't normal - it was a comatose sleep.

"Time is money," Mammon said harshly. "I know you have other things to say to us." If only he would let me inside his head.

"..." Reborn looked behind him, eyeing the guardians, and then back to his comrades, spiting ever juicy detail he had. He didn't have to worry about the guardians listening to him; they were busy. They were given the job to go to room 215 where, hopefully, good news waited.

After Reborn finished, his comrades went back to being loud - it was a surprise even to him that they stayed quiet for that long.

Floating over to Reborn, Mammon said over Skull and his harasser, "I will be on the look out for that in Italy. Tell me if anything new comes in." And with that, Mammon turned into indigo smoke and vanished.

It was decided that Reborn and Lal, who would be looking after Yuni, would stay in Japan while the others would look for any other clues somewhere: Fon would go to China and Colonello would go to America. Hopefully they would find good news there, proving Reborn and his theory wrong.

But the problem was, he was never wrong.

Reborn made his way to room 215, which was upstairs and to the right (one of the nurses told him). As he came closer to the room, he had heard the familiar sound of screaming coming from his student's guardians. Okay, maybe not screaming, but it sure as hell sounded like it to Reborn. If Reborn really wanted to get into the details, then he would say that it was yell. Not out of fear, either. More of a yell that said, 'shut up and listen to what I say I'm more intellegent than you, dammit!'

When Reborn was only feet away from room 215 he saw what the commotion was all about. The paitent wantede to leave. He could hear the doctors yelling at their patient, saying:

"You have too many broken bones broken to be walking!"

"Your internal wounds are not healed properly!"

"I still need to stitch you up!"

And so went on the rants. Taking a look at the guardians, the hitman saw that they were doing all that they could do to help the doctors get the patient in the bed without hurting him any more. Reborn lifted his Leon, who had shape shifted into a gun, the shot a bullet near the person of chaos. All eyes then turned to the baby.

"Tsuna." That one word commanded so much, that one, little little word made everyone silent. Good, now they could listen to Reborn. "Listen to the doctors."

Tsuna looked at Reborn in defiance. With that one little look, they found out so much; this Tsuna was not theirs.

Reborn shot another bullet, but the sky did not budge. "Tsuna." Knowing that the sky wouldn't listen, the hitman mentally sighed. Then, by chance, he looked at Tsuna's neck and saw it.Noticing Reborn's stare, the sky immediately got on the hospital bed, pulling the covers over his neck, all the way up to his chin.

Reborn watched silently as the doctors then hooked up the IV and then knocked out the sky.

The guardians and Reborn were then shooed out of room 215 and into the waiting room. Reborn disappeared somewhere, leaving the guardians to their own thoughts.


"Did you see Tenth's face? How much blood and cuts were there. How his arms and legs... weren't in the shape of- "

"Sawada went passed the EXTREME!"

"Shut up -"

"Maa, maa. Now we can wait for Tsuna to wake up. When he does, we can find out who -"

"That wasn't Boss." The other guardians gave Chrome a weird look. She tightened her grip on the sleeping Lambo she was holding then quickly clarified herself, voice soft and low, as if afraid to say,

"This Boss is from the future."


"...Lal." Reborn said, almost silently. The said person did an abrupt turn, about to pull out her weapon, but stopped when she saw Reborn.

"You fucking sca -" Lal stopped herself before finishing her sentenced, calming down. "What is it?"

"Tsuna has the sky pacifier."

Lal dropped her mouth as Reborn pulled down his fedora.

"...W...h..y..." Yuni managed to say, eyes still closed.

"I don't know. But I promise you that I will find out." And with that, Reborn disappeared again, this time going back to room 215.

He waited, unseen, for a couple hours for the medicine to wear off of him. Once he saw the figure twitch, he immediately knew his student was awake.

"Stop pretending." Ordered Reborn.

"..."

A shot was fired. Feeling that it was too close for comfort, Tsuna dodged it, jumping off of the bed. He quickly falls flat on his face. Taking a closer look, Reborn analyzed his condition.

"Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said to his student, " You're stupid." But despite that, Reborn didn't shoot him anymore. All he did was watch his student get up, pain evident on his face, and then flop back on the stiff hospital bed.

Tsuna tried not to be bothered by his tutor's stare as he covered himself back up. He didn't talk or whine or anything of the sort.

"Tsuna, give me answers." Hearing the silence befall the room, the hitman pulled down his fedora and said, "I have to tell Nono. That means he will be informed as well. We'll wait for answers until you're healed up. Your throat doesn't look like it will allow you to speak." Reborn remarked, looking at the very noticeable hand print on his student's neck.

Reborn then proceed to leave the room, done with what he wanted to say, but then -

In the smallest voice the sky had ever used, he guiltily whispered, "It was just supposed to be a game."
