Tsuna POV

Together with Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto, we walk into my house and I announce, "I'm home!" In my mind, I'm still thinking about what Chrome had said. Who is the next one to go? Would it be me? I swear as hell hope it's not! But I don't want it to be any of my close friends either. What would I do?

From the kitchen, kaa-san appears with a worried expression. "Tsu-kun, could you go check on Lambo-kun? He got upset earlier about there being no candy, but I haven't seen him since."

"He'll go check, mama," Reborn says, appearing out of nowhere and speaking for me.

"Oh, thank you, Tsu-kun." With a smile, she goes back to the kitchen and I sweatdrop. Are you serious? Can I not respond myself? According to my tutor, apparently I can't. But either why, I just sigh and begin to venture upstairs. There was no point to argue with Reborn about it. If I did, then I would realize a vicious beating.

At the top of the stairs, I let my ears listen for anything, expecting that I might hear a sniffle or two from the young cow. But after a moment, I notice that there was not one breath aside from mine, Gokudera-kun's, and Yamamoto's. My hyper intuition starts to go insane. Lambo isn't here. I know and I don't have to look everywhere to know it. He's gone. He's disappeared just like Mukuro had predicted.

I turn to my friends and they look at my curiously, but this changes when they see my face. They nod to me and we begin running down the stairs, but then Reborn jumps in front of us. "Don't tell your mother about his disappearance. Just go and I'll tell her that you all are taking him out to play. Got it?" We nod and once Reborn heads toward the kitchen, we quickly close the distance between us and the outside world, slip on our shoes, and depart from the house.

Third POV

Chrome walks around her home, Kokuyo Land, and searches for two people. "Ken, Chikusa. Are you here?" She stumbles over some rubble, but catches herself and takes a deep breath. Since hearing Mukuro's message, she's been trying to stay as alert as possible. If possible, she wants to be able to fight off whatever this force is that might take her away.

But sometimes you can't be ready for everything even though you're watching for it. That's how sneaky people and things are. Unfortunately, Chrome is the type to be attacked during the one second she lets herself look away.

All she sees in a blur of orange hair and green eyes in front of her when somebody places their hand on Chrome's forehead and her head snaps back, looking up toward the dark ceiling. In her ears she can hear her own screams as she begins to fall. But, after a couple seconds, she notices she hasn't hit the ground. She's falling in middle air and she was seeing what Lambo saw, except every few moments the whole scene would flash indigo and then back to the original picture.

As she stares, her hair begins to be pulled back and her neck is completely bent backwards. On her skin, it felt like there were fingernails digging into her skin, causing her to scream even more in pain. Was this an illusion? No, it felt too real to be an illusion. In a weird way, this has got to be reality.

Tears overflow from Chrome's eyes and mix with the blood she imagines is there. Was this her death? If so, does that mean everybody is going to die also? She doesn't want that. Not at all.

Chrome gains some strength and makes a fist. She must get out of this, even if she currently feels weak. Throwing her fist forward, she feels it connect to bone, which cracks. The whole scenery of colors disappear and on top of her is a man with short orange hair and green eyes, looking surprised with his head turned to the side. His cheek was starting to swell, but then he smiles when the surprise wears off. "Well, aren't you a feisty one?" He pulls his fist back also and it hits Chrome, knocking her out and back into the universe the others have already went through.

Chrome opens her eyes and blinks, wondering what's going on. But then she sits up, which she regrets immediately as her back begins to ache and her temple is throbbing. "What's going on?"

"My dear Chrome. You came." Chrome looks up to see Mukuro by her side, looking down at her small figure on the ground.

"Mukuro-sama," she says, tears growing in her eyes. It's felt like forever since she saw him. It was as if they'd never see each other again. She quickly wraps her arms around the older boy and cries into his chest. "I don't know what's going on, Mukuro-sama."

"I don't know either." He pats her on the back and then pulls away from her slightly. "I'm assuming you told all the Vongola about the situation." She nods. "Good girl. Well, we're currently looking for any answers to this mystery. If you can, please tell us what happened to you."

"We?" She looks around Mukuro and behind him is Ryohei with Lambo taking a nap in his arms. "Oh no."

Ryohei nods at her and she quickly realizes that the guardians are most definitely being taken. But who is doing it and who's next?

A bit shorter, but anyways, New Year's Day=My birthday! I'm going to be 17! Yippee! Anyways, have a great New Year and please review!
