I don't own khr. I do own Rixa tho!

It was a Thursday afternoon right behind school when Rixa saw Tsuna being bullied. At first she was just going to yell at them to stop, but when she saw hear Tsuna fall she felt some of her patience snap. It snapped again when she heard the bully ask, order, Tsuna to have her meet them. It finally broke when she saw him raise his fist against her friend.

She intercepted the punch aimed at Tsuna watching how he held his eyes tightly. Tense for a punch that would not come.

She watched as Tsuna ever so slowly opened his eyes and was met with a surprise. He gaped openly as well as the other boys staring at her. She smirked mentally in her mind cheering herself on.

She stood there holding the bully's wrist, and boy was she mad. The murderous aura mixed with killer intent was strong. The bully flinched away from her. She actually did smirk when she saw this. The grip he had on Tsuna weaken enough to drop her friend. Tsuna landed softly on the ground.

Rixa's attention turned back to the bully her eyes were narrowed, the pupil in her eyes thinned into slits. Her eyes were cold and deprived of the usual warmth. She raised her arm, hand formed into a fist, and punched the boy straight away cracking his jaw. The boy screamed in pain.

To be entirely honest however. Rixa did not really punch him. She just formed a fist and slapped him with it. She hadn't expected to hurt him as much as she had been wanting to, or to nearly send him flying off.

"AAAHHH!" She released his wrist letting him fall on the ground. 'Man! He screams really loud!' She thought to herself while staring at him with empty blue eyes. He backed away from her tears in his eyes. He screamed, "MONSTER!"

She shrugged her shoulders and kneeled down in front of Tsuna. She really didn't care if he called her a monster. She didn't believe in monsters, just good, bad, and in between people.

The murderous aura around her gone replaced with the usual warmth and welcoming one. She looked at her friend worriedly. "Tsu-kun," her voice was soft as she spoke, "are you okay? How bad are your bruises?"

She circled him feeling him up for any other injuries other than the visible ones making him release one of his dreadful 'HIEE's. "R-Rixa chan...?!" She ignored him intent on making sure he wasn't hurt too badly. She felt it when Tsuna tensed, her hand lightly touched his back. Rixa noticed and her murderous aura returned.

She turned back around blue eyes narrowed sharpening like knives newly made and deadly. However she was unfortunate because in all the time she spent mothering over Tsuna she had not noticed the bullies leave. So when she turned around and was met with nothing but thin air she stomped her foot hard into the ground. "How dare they run away while my back is turned!"

She stomped her foot again- harder, "How dare they do so when I have yet to finish punishing them for hurting what is mine!" She saw as Tsuna sighed and lightly shook his head not even bothering to truly comprehend what it was she had just stated. Which she was happy for because as much as she tried to keep it hidden she was easily shy and embarrassed when she said things like that.

Then she noticed the worried and guilty look on his cute baby face.

'I hope she doesn't go hunting them down. I feel bad enough already that one of them has a broken jaw. Even if they were bullying me I don't want to hurt them or see them get hurt.'

He sighed again. Rixa looked at him sighing as well.

'Tsu-chan~ You really are like an open book.'

Rixa held out her hand to him. Tsuna blinked his eyes before reaching out to grab her outstretched hand. Rixa smiled and covered her face as to hide the blush on her cheeks because she was still getting used to the idea of having a friend. Someone to protect.

Quickly before Tsuna could react Rixa dragged the poor brunette with her to her house. Tsuna screamed, "HHHHHIIIIEEEE! RRRRIIIIXXXXAAAA!" Rixa giggled and kept up her fast pace.

She wouldn't slow down. Never, because then how would she ever be able to keep with the sky? The ever accepting and kind sky that never seemed to end. She had to protect that sky.

That beautiful sky so colorless and yet patiently waiting for those colors to come fill it up. She had to protect it because sometimes it hurt being too kind...being too accepting.

"Ne, Tsuna."

"H-hai! Rixa?"

"Ano...can you promise me to be more careful? I don't wanna see you being hurt like that ever again. I...don't wanna see you in pain because then I know I failed you..."

Tsuna looked at her shocked, "D-demo! You didn't fail me!"

"Doesn't mean it doesn't feel like I did. You got hurt and I couldn't do anything to stop it."

Tsuna looked at their entwined hands, "Demo...you can't protect Tsu-kun from everything Rixa..."

She stopped and embraced him, "Doesn't mean I can't try."
