Kryptonite - chapter 8 ^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did, there would be a lot more coupling amongst the characters! I'm just borrowing Amano Akira's characters for the sake of this story because I love it! *shot*

That night Azura couldn't sleep. Thoughts raced through her mind about the last couple of weeks. Between her mother dying and being to she's part of a secret organisation, she had no room to think, no room to breathe. But if anyone could help her, it would be the man the appeared before her that evening.

Now she was tired of waiting. At 3am she swung her legs over the bed, put her dress on and tiptoed down the stairs, out the door and to the address printed on the note, which was held firmly in her hand.

The streets where shrouded with an unimaginable silence, a faint glow radiated from the town as the lights shone in the darkness. Her only sight was set on the small island ahead of her.

Soon after taking a boat to the destination she found the sun now shone just peeking over the trees, making its small inhabitants whistle.

Hibari would be up by now. She never gave a second thought about telling him about her adventure but she knew she was going to get questioned about it sooner or later.

Ahead of her laid small structures. Plants danced elegantly on grey brick walls, eroding them into the forests.

'So you came' she heard behind her yet she remained silent. Before her stood a blond man whom was wearing the same uniform as the guy she had met previously.

'Mukuro said that you'd be here, move your ass already, im not going to stand around here all morning.' Je continued walking off and Azura following in suit.

Entering one of the buildings and going up the stairs, all she could think about was his name. It sounded so familiar, maybe Reborn had mentioned it the night before?

The man in front opened the last door and led the way in, walking to the man she couldn't get out of her head.

'Kufufufu' He chuckled gently. 'So you came. You made the right choice.'

By now the blonde man had gone, leaving the two alone.

'What do you want from me?' She asked, her eyes meeting his.

'It seems you know someone, someone I want.' That smile never seemed to fade.

Scanning her mind of all the girls she knew only a few popped up. She didn't get along with girls as well as she did with boys. It always ended up in fights with them, but what would he of all people want with them?

'Tsunayoshi-' He continued.

Her face blushed a deep hue of red. 'Uh. O-okay, if you want to roll that way, it'll be a bit of a one sided relationship though.

'Kufufufu, I don't mean it in that manner. You'll find out soon enough what I do mean.' She gulped at this.

'And I need you to help me with this' He continued.

'No thanks. I consider Tsuna as a friend, now if you'll excuse me, but I'll be on my way.' Her voice was now sharp. Whenever her friends came into the equation she always became serious.

She felt a hand grab her wrist and pull her back into an embrace.

'What if I could change everything, if I could bring her back?' he whispered into her ear.

What was this? Why did her chest hurt so badly, her heart race and a tight knot appear in her throat?

'Interested now?' he asked. She remained silent for a moment. 'I take your silence as a yes.' He cooed, covering her eyes with one hand and with the other still holding her.

Hundreds of images of her mum passed through her head, ones that once poisoned her mind slowly began to fade to black, replaced by another. A single tear rolled down her cheek as family pictures rolled by, one by one.

Minutes after she thought of Hibari, his sharp glare looking down on her, 'S-stop' she spoke in a soft voice, not wanting to see his eyes upon her.

Mukuro released her. She fell limp, dropping to her knees in exhaustion, gasping for breath. After inhaling from her asthma pump she looked up.

Sitting back on the couch, Mukuro spoke softly, 'I want you to pass a message on to Tsuna for me' and with that he slid a note along the floor. She held it in her hand for a minute, noticing how much the white envelope blended in with her pale skin.

'All I need to do is pass this to Tsuna?' her voice was wavering from the tears that where stinging her eyes.

'That's all' he replied. The smile still stained on his lips. How could he even smile at a time like this?

She stood up, 'and no one will get hurt?'

He remained silent for a moment, 'no one will get hurt' he assured her.

And with that she walked out of the room, sealing her fate.

Walking back to the house, Azura couldn't forget that conversation she had with Mukuro.

She entered the now quiet house. 'Hello is anyone in?' she called, 'Hibari?'

As she entered the living room a dark figure loomed over by the window.

'Where have you been?' He asked in a low and husky voice. She stepped closer, the smell of sake lingered in the air.

'H-have you been drinking?' her voice now in a higher pitch.

He walked over to her, so close it made her walk back and bump into a wall. His face was now dangerously close to hers, a hand placed beside her head, her heart in her throat.

'And if I have?' he asked, lips inching closer to hers. 'Now answer my question'

She chose not to tell him what she had been doing the last few hours. 'Out' she replied no longer looking into his cobalt eyes.

Azura was shaking, ever so gently he pulled her chin up with his free hand to make her look at him. Slowly he pressed his lips on hers, his hand traced her jaw line and made its way to the nape of her neck, tilting her head further upright, deepening the kiss.

After a few moments he broke away, breathing heavily he pressed his forehead on hers, looking into her violet orbs. 'See what you do to me?'

He released his hand from the wall and pushed himself upright with the one still firmly pressed against the wall, turned around and exited through the doorway she had just entered.

She slid down the wall, holding her knees to her chest, her fingers tracing over her lips.

What did he mean by saying that? And why was her heart now beating so fast?
