A/N1:

I AM NOT DEAD. Yet.

I know. It's my fault: I had a small delay (course) that had forced me to stay away from the computer the last weekend and this whole week, so I couldn't publish nor warn you about the update. So here I'm now, with a new chapter.

Azurame Neve: Please don't worry. Your dirtiest dreams will come true when the time comes *wink-wink*

Gly: The previous chapter was a Halloween special, not connected to the plot of the story. Just a nice small break. And about the the other Arcobalenos... Who knows?

x3: Thank you! Happy belated Halloween!


Still cradling the brunet in his hands and giving a wary eye to his plant, Ryohei had taken the boy to the capsule. He had put the boy inside the machine and after connecting a few tubes to the limp body of Tsunayoshi, he had closed the see-through door. After that the Sun flame user had turned to the computer that was standing near and started to set the program controlling the capsule. It didn't take long for him to run the program and soon the machine was gently humming while releasing white puffs of smoke. Sparring a glance to his yet another creation, Ryohei had turned back to the computer monitor following the graphs and the numbers that were slowly decreasing. All this time the white haired young adult not even once thought about the consequences of what he was going to do to the brunet and as he had followed the data showing up on the screen, his hands clenching and unclenching constantly on his knees with the shoulders slowly tensing.

He had felt that something was wrong. It was all too easy; he didn't have any obstacles that were preventing him from going through with his plan from the very beginning, when he was just developing the cryogenic capsule for his plan not a single person had thought about the reasons for his sudden interest in technology and successful construction of a very advanced medical technology, even though it was a common knowledge that he wasn't that good with advanced apparatuses. That is until a cool tip of a gun had pushed at the back of his head and a very recognizable voice had demanded to stop the process.

"Hello. But you know, this process is very complex and if abruptly stopped, could lead to the death of the object, don't you, Reborn?"


When he had arrived at the mansion the uneasy feeling that he had had and made him finish the mission earlier than planned had sky rocketed and expecting the worst, for the World's Greatest Hitmen don't fear, but nothing that he couldn't cope with, he had walked into the mansion unnoticed by anyone. Not that there was anyone.

Usually the Sky flame was felt already at the entrance of the mansion, and in some places where the Sky of the Famiglia could be usually found there was the highest concentration of the said Flame. After that the flames of the Sky Guardians were felt and that helped to identify the presence of the guardians in the mansion. There was no Sky Flame felt in the air.

His first destination was his stupid student's office, to check if he was working his ass off, as any self respecting Boss of a high rank would be doing. When he had entered the said room through one of his secret entrances he saw a huge amount of papers and no student. Taking a few sniffs of the air, Reborn cringed his nose in distaste – the Dame student of his had neglected his Boss duties for now more than 24 hours. Rolling his eyes at the strange behavior of the brunet, the Sun Arcobaleno had left the room. He headed to the sleeping chambers, intending to wake him up if he was found in the room.

As the thick door to the room that had served to the many generations of the Vongola Bosses and had provided its comfort to them opened with a soft click. Reborn was hit over with the leftover Mist Flames. The man shadowed his face with the trade-mark fedora as he swiped the room. The room was full with this particular flame, concentrating and creating a small whirlpool on the bed, indicating the location of the Mist flame user when he had activated his flames. Walking closer, intending to figure out the reason for the use of the Mist Flames in the room of the Sky, the Arcobaleno had noticed a small amount of the Sky flames left on the bed as well.

It wasn't just to fight off someone… Too little Sky flames… Something else was going on…

The Sky flames were identified as his Student's. And they were used to relay a message.

"HELP."


It was a first.

Reborn didn't really know what to do. The buzzing of the technology in the room, the rustle of the Flames draining plant, the even breathing of the Sun Guardian, still sitting with his back facing him and watching the information appearing on the monitor.

"Both of us have Sun Flames, so both of us will heal him," at the end Reborn had decided. "Stop the process. Now."

Or I will make sure that to the end of your days you will not see Tsuna, your sister, the sun light and everything precious to you… At all.

Ryouhei hearing the veiled threat had reluctantly complied with the order and with a press of a few buttons on the keyboard the data had started rapidly changing. The temperature was quickly rising and as soon as it hit 37 degrees above zero the door of the capsule had opened. Tsuanyoshi's body had started to slowly fall down and all the wires that were connected to him being pulled out by this, the Hitman had caught the brunet before they were all disconnected. Pulling out the rest and lifting the still cold body in bridal style, the Arcobaleno with a jerk of his head ordered the Vongola's Head Medic Expert to follow him.


Following the faint trail of the Sky flames, Reborn had come up to the Storm's room. There were more leftover Sky flames and by its swirling there was indeed a small brawl with a Sun and a Rain flames users. There was also some weird Storm Flames near the bed, but because they weren't mixed with the Sky flames Reborn had ignored it in the favor of the other flames. Annoyed at the strange Flame prints the Sun Arcobaleno had continued on his trail of the Sky Flames.

What ever was going on was Tsuna's fault. That was clear as chaos to the Hitman. And when he would find that pathetic excuse for a Vongola Boss, especially the one known as the Reincarnation of the first generation Vongola Boss, Neo-Primo, he was going to kill him, bring to life, kill again and train him to death.


"More Sun Flames, Sasagawa! And move to his legs!"

The brunet was lying on a bunk, connected to the breathing support system and to the heart rate machine as the Sun Arcobaleno and the Sun Guardian were trying to get Tsunayoshi's body's systems to restart as they hadn't start again after the defrost. Reborn was working on the heart, forcing it to pump blood through the cold body of the brunet. It was hard work, because if it wouldn't start doing it so by itself in a few more minutes they could decrease that the Vongola Famiglia had no Boss to lead it. Of course the fact that he was killed in the Sun Guardian's experiment with cryotechnology would have to stay hushed up. As the both of them were massaging the different parts of the body, pumping it with the Sun Flames, the Arcobaleno had noticed that the brunet had many new bruises on his body; some of them were of the sexual character.

Ryohei was staying quiet all this time and was just submissively carrying out the short orders given by his little brother's mentor. Even though on the outside he was calm, the silveret wasn't. He had almost killed the little brunet, who had given him so much, a place, a family, an interesting life. He wasn't going to let his mistake kill Sawada Tsunayoshi, Tsuna. That was a no good move. With the new found resolution the Medic's Flames had become even clearer and more concentrated.


The Sky Flames had brought him to one of the secret rooms where the Vongola Bosses stored their diaries for the future generations. Reborn looked around the room, while a smirk was slowly crawling up his face. At least his student wasn't too dumb not to think that nothing was going on and had tried to research something. Sudden spike in Cloud Flames and a smaller of Rain Flames once again had stopped the Hitman in his tracks. The Sun Arcobaleno quickly searched the room for any hints for what was happening here and he had finally found some: spots of dried blood and something white and dry in the corner. He had also felt there a huge amount of Cloud Flames, with equally strong Rain Flames mixed into it. Almost as he was ready to leave the room strong Sky Flames flooded the room. They were everywhere. The strength of the Flames didn't intervene with Reborn's ability to distinguish the Flames and he had immediately known that it was his Student's. When the Flames had weakened a bit, Reborn located the source before they had disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared. It was in the medical wing.


"Pao-pao-sensei, we've managed."

"Indeed."

Both the males have slipped own to the floor, completely exhausted but relieved. They had managed to restart the brunet's body's system and he was now completely covered in warm blankets and even breathed on his own, although with the help of the oxygen supply. They had managed to avoid the crisis. For now.
