"Looks like I caught her." Umeko laughed, holding Addison up.
"Shit." Gokudera mumbled as Umeko walked into the house they were standing in front of. Gokudera just realized that they were standing in front of the house Addison was found in the first time, a block from Addison's house. Gokudera followed them inside the house, not wanting to leave Addison alone with Umeko. Umeko walked into an empty room, dropping Addison onto the ground.
"Hey!" Gokudera sat Addison up, making sure she was ok. The door shut as Umeko laughed, leaving the room.
Addison's eyes fluttered open. when she realized where she was, she jumped to her feet. Gokudera noticed that her phone fell out of her pocket, and it was ringing.
"Here, Lynn's calling." Gokudera picked it up and handed it to her.
"Hello?" Addison asked. "What do you need?"
"To know if you're ok. Gokudera never came back. Are you two alright?"
"I'm fine, kind of, Gokudera is too."
"Kind of? What do you mean kind of?" Lynn questioned as Addison gave the phone to Gokudera. "Answer me."
"I think she's mad that she passed out again."
"Aw! This is just like a hospital; I'm not allowed to leave and nothing to do." Addison plopped herself onto the ground. "Damn it." She mumbled.
"Where are you guys?" Serenity's voice came through the phone.
"The house where we got Addison the first time, a block down from Addison's house."
"Tsuna go help them now." Reborn commanded.
"Alright." Tsuna agreed. Gokudera was really just listening at the moment.
"They'll be there soon." Reborn said, then the line went dead. Gokudera slid the phone across the ground to the other side of the room where Addison sat looking at her feet.
"What's wrong?" Gokudera wondered.
"I'm always passing out, and ever time it leads to know good." Addison kicked her phone away.
"None of it's your fault though."
"Doesn't matter. . . ." Addison started.
"We're technically not supposed to be here." Umeko announced walking into the room.
"What?" Ichiro followed his sister. "Then why do we have them? They in particular didn't do anything to us, it was the generation before them."
"Because I want to. I'm not going to go with our boss' death with out getting back."
"But our new boss doesn't approve of it." He grabbed Umeko's arm. "Come here a minute." Ichiro pulled her out of the room. The two of them sat silently in the room for about three minutes, when Tsuna came in with Yamamoto, Lynn, and Serenity behind him. Umeko quickly pushed past them, slamming Addison up against the wall. What happened next, happened so fast that if Addison didn't feel the pain, she wouldn't have known it had happened. Umeko had a smile on her face, everyone was moving towards Addison and her, even Ichiro. In an instant, there was a stabbing pain in Addison's stomach and she began to fall to the ground. Ichiro pulled his sister back and away from Addison. There was a small clanking noise on the ground. All of the Vongola's rushed over to Addison, except for Tsuna how began to set up his Xburner towards the enemy. Addison looked at where the clanking noise came from to see a knife laying there on the ground. Her vision began to blur as she slowly became unconscious.
"Wait!" an unfamiliar voice called, entering the room. "Umeko, why can't you listen to me for once, and always dragging your brother into things?" a man stepped between Umeko and Tsuna. He had bright red hair and blue eyes that almost glowed. Tsuna lowered his Xburner and looked at the man suspiciously. "I must apologizes for my family member's behavior." The man turned towards Tsuna. "I can see that Umeko has caused quite a bit of damage here. For her poor actions, I shall do everything in my power to make sure your friend is fully healed like nothing happened." He referred to Addison who lay unconscious on the floor, a red liquid staining her yellow shirt. "I will discipline these two on my own, no need for your help, you should get this young lady to a hospital quickly."
"Could've cut that speech down a lot." Gokudera mumbled as Tsuna, who is in his hyper-mode, picked up Addison.
"Take her to Dr. Shamal, the rest of us will meet you there in a little bit." Reborn stood in the doorway.
"Right." Tsuna nodded, vanishing through the door.
"Umeko, why did you do that?" Ichiro yelled.
"I knew I wouldn't have been able to get the boss and she wasn't paying attention." Umeko laughed.
"You two will go to the rest of the family. Once I get back I'll decide your punishment Umeko." The man scolded.
"I suggest all of you go meet up with Tsuna and Addison, she looked like she was cut pretty badly." Reborn announced, hopping onto Yamamoto's shoulder.
"I'll be joining you guys there in a little while." The red haired man nodded.
~With Addison and Tsuna~
"Dr. Shamal, we need your help." Tsuna walked into the hospital, putting Addison on the bed.
"I'm busy, come back later." Dr. Shamal called from another room.
"Now, Addison's hurt."
"Why would you bring her here?" Dr. Shamal walked into the room where Tsuna and Addison were, freezing in the door way.
"Because she could die, help her." Tsuna pointed.
"Oh!" Dr. Shamal ran out of the room, then came back with some equipment. "Out." He shoed Tsuna, who was just getting out of his hyper-mode.
The rest of the Vongola's ran into the room. Reborn hopped off of Yamamoto's shoulder and went into the room with Addison and Dr. Shamal.
"Is she ok?" Yamamoto asked.
"I don't know, Dr. Shamal kicked me out before he did anything." Tsuna sighed.
Everyone sat silently waiting for someone to come out of the room. Serenity saw playing with her phone; Tsuna was working on some homework; Yamamoto was a ways away practicing his swings; Lynn was staring at the floor; and Gokudera was staring at the door.
"How did this happen?" Dr. Shamal came out with Reborn.
"The enemy stabbed her." Reborn said plainly.
"And she didn't see it coming?"
"She was spacing out, the enemy came in, threw her against the wall and stabbed her before she could react." Gokudera looked up.
"Alright, she's going to be fine." Dr. Shamal sighed. "But some of the things I used aren't cheap."
"Allow me to pay for that." The read headed man came in.
"This way then." Dr. Shamal led him into the back room.
"Alright, I'm going to have one of you stay here at all times, just to be safe." Reborn announced.
"You'll take turns, and then during school I'm going to have someone else watching her."
"Who?" Tsuna asked.
"No one yet, it'll probably be Basil or Dino. Until I get one of them over here, you guys will take turns doing that too." Reborn explained. "It's getting late, we should go who will stay first."
There was along-ish silence. "I will." Gokudera offered.
"Alright, everyone else should go home, it's getting late."
Everyone did, except Gokudera and Dr. Shamal. Gokudera sat in a chair trying to stay awake just in case Addison woke up. After about an hour and a half, Gokudera fell asleep in the chair. Fifteen minutes later, Addison's eyes snapped open. She looked around the dark room. Gokudera was asleep in a chair and the rest of the room was empty minus the bed she was laying on. Addison wanted to get up, but it hurt just to sit up. She was also extremely tired, so she gave up and went back to sleep.
~Next morning~
"Gokudera?" Lynn called barging into the room.
"Huh?" Gokudera asked, still half asleep in the chair.
"You go to sc. . . ." Lynn started, but was cut off when Addison started coughing. "Addison?" Lynn jumped over to the bed. The coughs started to die down. Gokudera was sitting up in his chair now.
"Hey, are you alright?" Gokudera got next to Lynn.
"I'm fine, it just hurts, and I'm tired." Addison mumbled, shutting her eyes to go back to sleep.
"You just rest." Lynn commanded. "Gokudera, Reborn said that you go to school and I'm going to watch over Addison. You might want to hurry, you're going to have to go get your stuff from home."
"Alright, I'll see you later." Gokudera left, heading for Tsuna's.
"I don't have to go to school today." Lynn said to herself as she sat in the chair. "What are you doing?" Lynn stopped Addison from sitting up.
"I don't like sitting for too long, that's why I never like hospitals." Addison continued to sit up, her hand on her stomach because of the pain.
"Sit back down."
"But. . ."
"What do you want?"
"To get up."
"No, lay back down and get some rest."
"She's right, if you get too soon, you could reopen your wounds." Dr. Shamal came into the room. "Lay down and let me replace your bandages." Addison did as she was told, not wanting to. "Look, it already started to reopen."
Addison fell asleep soon after Dr. Shamal left, so Lynn pulled out a book and her i-pod. After about an hour, she fell asleep too.
"Lynn, Addison, we're here?" Serenity called, slamming open the door. Lynn jump awake, pulling the ear buds out of her ear. All of the Vongola's gathered in the room, Addison was still sound asleep.
"How is she?" Tsuna asked.
"I don't know, she's been asleep all day, she was only up once and that's when I first got here." Lynn stretched out her arms above her head.
"How was she then?" Serenity sat on the arm of the chair.
"Annoyed that she couldn't get up out of the bed."
"She wasn't hurting or anything right?" Gokudera questioned.
"You were here." Lynn gave him a weird look. "Anyways, was there any homework?"
"Nope, thank god." Serenity sighed, Yamamoto chuckled slightly.
"Who's going to watch Addison next?" Reborn came in.
"I can." Serenity suggested.
"Alright, Friday, Dino will be here to watch over Addison while you're all at school. And starting tomorrow, you guys are going to have to get Addison's homework for her."
"My old man wants me home, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Yamamoto walked out of the room.
Everyone except Serenity went home. Right after they did, Addison half woke up, she was awake, but she never really opened her eyes, expecting to go right back to sleep.
"Hey, you awake?" Serenity whispered.
"Huh?" Addison mumbled.
"In case I don't get a chance later, I wanted to let you know that Hibari asked me out."
"Doesn't seem like Hibari, but ok." Addison sighed, getting more tired as she went.
"I said yes."
"Congratulations, I'm tired, let me sleep." Addison complained. She went right back to sleep. Serenity sat there for about five minutes before she got bored. Serenity pulled out her cell phone and called Tsuna's house.
"Hello?" Tsuna answered.
"Tsuna, I'm bored." Serenity whined.
"Well it's not going to be fun."
"Have someone come which with me."
"Well it would have to be me or Yamamoto, and Yamamoto went home."
"You come do it then."
"But everyone's over right now."
"You mean two people."
"Serenity, just suck it up, Tsuna will be there before you would go to bed, you're getting the shortest watch time." Lynn's voice came through the phone.
"Fine." Serenity shut her phone.
After about fifteen minutes of nothing, Serenity fell asleep too.
A door closed, waking Addison up. The red headed man came in.
"Who are you?" Addison asked, sitting herself up slightly.
"I'm Umeko's boss." The man stepped in.
Addison sat up further. "Ow!" She put her hand on her stomach.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." He reassured. "I just wanted to make sure you were doing ok since my family did this."
"Oh, ok."
"I'll let you get some rest." He smiled, walking out of the room. Addison looked down at her cut as she laid back down. The bandages were starting to get a little red- more towards the middle. It wasn't bleeding terribly fast, but it was reopened. Her wound was really starting to hurt now too.
"Serenity." Addison tried waking her up. "Hey Serenity."
"Let me sleep, mom." Serenity mumbled, changing position.
"Wake up." Addison got louder.
"Fifteen more minutes."
"Damn it." Addison murmured, laying her head back.
"Serenity, you can go home now." Tsuna came into the room. he stopped when he saw Addison with a look of pain on her face. "Addison, what's wrong?"
"My wound opened again." Addison looked at her cut again. "Serenity wouldn't wake up."
"I'll go get Dr. Shamal." Tsuna ran out of the room.
"What did you do now?" Dr. Shamal came into the room.
"Sat up."
"Well don't."
"Serenity." Tsuna woke her up.
"I didn't kill it." She jumped.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You were supposed to keep an eye on Addison."
"I was." Serenity stretched her arms out. Addison shot her a glare. "What?"
"Alright, I'm done." Dr. Shamal walked away.
"What'd you do?" Serenity stood up.
"Sat up too fast. You wouldn't wake up, so I was sitting here for almost ten minutes." Addison explained.
"Oops." Serenity left the room.
"You ok?" Tsuna sat down.
"Yeah, I'm just tired." Addison closed her eyes and was soon back asleep.
