Summary: "Wipe away the tranquility of Vongola."

Full Summary:
A group of gang members corners Yamamoto during a solo mission. Completely worn out, Yamamoto struggles to fight and defend for his life. He gets captured by the unknown gang members, giving Tsuna a gust of chills right down his back. Just to make sure Yamamoto's alright, Tsuna then sends Hibari and Ryohei in for reinforcement. When they arrive there, there's nothing but a pile of blood left for them...

Disclaimer: Don't own the KHR characters. Unknown gang members are OCs though~

Rabu: Takes place after TYL arc & right after they got out of high school. They should be 18 by now. x) Full title is "Catch me (as I fall)"
Anyway, first chapter is short. The other chapters will be longer... I hope.

Couples: hints 8018 (later) & 5927

Chapter 1: Only the Beginning

"There's no one here..." The Sun guardian murmured into his headgear that Gianini prepared for them. "... except the people Yamamoto managed to kill..." His voice was lower and quieter than usual.

"A pool of blood." Hibari added. "And Yamamoto Takeshi's sword." He pulled out a cell phone and sent some pictures back to headquarters to examine.

"What?!" Tsuna stood up but Gokudera held his arm. He nodded at the pictures at Gianini's screen. That sword really did belong to Yamamoto. "Retreat. There might be traps there. We need to discuss this at Headquarters." Tsuna ordered as he sat back down. "I can't afford to let anyone else get hurt..." He mumbled to himself.

"Tenth..." Gokudera wasn't good at cheering people up. It wasn't in him to cheer them up. It was always Yamamoto. He always knew what to say or do, but where the hell is he?

"Roger, Sawada." Ryohei slowly turned his gaze away from the pool of blood. It wreaked in the small metallic room. Blood stains were everywhere. You could tell Yamamoto put up one hell of a fight before being captured. Hibari gave a little nod that was barely visible.

"Tell us where your boss is, Yamamoto Takeshi?" Snickering and gloating was all he heard in the darkness. His body felt numb. A little too numb. "Are you gonna answer me?! You stupid brat!" Several punches and hits were made to his skull, face, ribs, arms and legs. He stayed silent thinking to himself.

Am I going to die here? This is the end of me, isn't it?

It's hard to breathe. It hurts almost as much as Hibari's tonfas.

Oh, Tsuna and the others must be worried.

I should probably get out of here soon.

I don't want them to think I'm dead or anything!

That would be troublesome! Heheh!

Once I get back we'll--

"---HNNGH!" Yamamoto was cut off from his thoughts by a sharp pain to his head. His body was marked with cuts and bruises. Blood dripped from his forehead, mouth, nose and ears. Apparently, his vision had gone from black to crimson red. All thoughts had come to a screeching halt. The only thing he felt now was pain.

"I'll ask again. Where the HELL is your boss?!"

"Hgnh, B—boss?" Yamamoto replied, dazed. "I... I don't work for anyone...?" His voice sounded more confused than the men surrounding him. He heard murmurs and whispers but the men started to get a little louder.

"Shut up! He's only playing with you. We're not retarded, Yamamoto Takeshi. Tell us where Tsuna, the Vongola boss, is!" He gripped his large hand underneath Yamamoto's chin, causing him to gasp for air.

"I don't... understand... what... you're saying..." He said between breaths. "I... don't know... any Tsuna's...?" Blood dripped to the man's hand from Yamamoto's mouth.

"Um, Allen. I think you knocked him up a little too hard..." One of the henchmen stated nervously.

"...What's... going on?" Yamamoto's breathing became heavier and was soon out cold.

"Boss... is gonna be mad, isn't he?" Another henchmen sighed but was shortly beaten up to a bloody pulp.

Rabu: If there's any grammar or spelling errors, please tell me. It's currently 3:30 AM... so please excuse me... I need to sleep soon.
Aw, crud. I wanted a fluffy story for 8018. This idea popped in my head though. I felt like my FF account needed to be updated. LOl.
Sorry, my inspirations have been dying lately.

Um, review?
