Ciao I don't own Hitman Reborn!

Thanks a bunch bunch bunch to Alucard-Nightroad89, Queen of Vampires, animelover78, x3iLoveAnime., and orangesky3 for reviewing chapter 21!

I'm sneaking my laptop out just to write this chapter. I'm sorry for the shortness. My demon tutor- I mean my brother will be so mad if he knew.

Let's get started!

Chapter 22: Similar.

Yukime's POV

"Carlos!" I jumped to the center of coliseum and reject all of the spreading Mist flame. Nobody followed my example. But, since the match is over already I think I can do this without breaking any rule. "Carlos-san! Carlos-san!" I shook his shoulders, which turns to be a wrong action. He bleeds severely. "Doctors, summon the doctors! Or anyone with sun flames!" As I summon them, the doctors came rushing from the west door.

As they tend Carlos, I saw Demon Spade and a girl beside him. She was created with a Mist flames, manifestation of Demon Spade's training. The girl floats (since she's a flame, she can do this. How convenient.) to my direction and held my hand. "Aaah~ so you're Asari Yukime-chan! I've seen you couples of times from Spade's ring…"

"You… are?" I asked curiously.

"Diamond Heart, I was Cavallone Famiglia's late Mist Guardian. And Spade's lil' sister." She answers easily. So, she's dead. "Alaude… really has a good taste." She nods to herself. "Alaude-dono's former lover?" I asked coolly. "Ku fu fu fu, Alaude will be so interested when he heard that he was downgraded to –dono again." I stare nonchalantly to Demon Spade.

"I admit the loss of my Guardian." I stare to Giotto's face. He looked… weird. I can't explain it with my limited vocabulary. But, it was a mix of relieved and sad feeling.

Demon Spade's name was deleted from the roulette, while Carlos' name turns red, it means that he already lose before. I jumped back to the Spazio podium. "How is he, Hime-chan?" Asked Claire in a worried tone. I shook my head. "He's… dying. I guess this Clarisse really is that important to him." I stare to Bianca.

Her whole body is shaking. I don't know if it's from fury, or sadness. Ryuuren suddenly appears from her shadow and petted her. "It's okay, Bianca-chan. Carlos is tough, he'll be good in no time." Unexpectedly, she bursts into tears. "Uaaaa! Uaaaa! What if something happens to him? I never saw him that badly injured before!" Ryuuren, Claire, Antonio, and I are surprised.

I see. Her calm demeanor is just like my fake smiles. They're created to hide our lonely part. I know the reason why I am so attached to her. It's because we're similar. I'm sure if Ugetsu nii… sama is hurt, I'll do the same thing she did. "She's like this from the beginning, I was the only one who knew, and I guess it's better if all of you know." Said Jared.

"Anyway, let's continue."

Vongola's POV

[Giotto's]

"Well done, Spade." I said to him as he walked from the door. He smirked. "Oh, and by the way, Alaude. You have been downgraded to the –dono suffix again." Alaude twitched. "Spade-san, I think you shouldn't perk Alaude-san anymore than this… I mean, it's troublesome." Said Lampo in his usual, 'All troublesome' tone.

"Ku fu fu fu, don't you find this interesting, Lampo? It means, all of us have equal standings to be her…" Alaude moves swiftly and pinned Demon Spade to the wall, choking him. "That female carnivore is mine, which part of that sentence you don't understand?" He asked in a threatening tone. Spade didn't struggle for his breath.

"Fighting amongst Famiglia is forbidden, even in 10 commandments of Mafia." Said G calmly. Ugetsu nods. "Knuckle, please say something to them." Said Ugetsu.

"To fight amongst comrade are hated by the God."

"Please calm down, both of you." I force Alaude's hand to get away from Spade's neck. "If we brawl like this, we won't be able to bring Yukime back. And I certainly don't want that, do you?" I asked. Alaude reluctantly lets go. "Hmph." He scoffs and returns to his seat. Demon Spade laughs and sits down on a chair far from Alaude.

"Please continue." I speak through the microphone. Yukime shot her bullet and I throw my flames again. The roulette spins and Demon Spade's sign is changed to 'Choose Fighter' slot. It finally stops and shows two names again.

"The next battle will be, Lampo of Vongola Famiglia, versus, Bianca Aureliana of Spazio Famiglia!"

Lampo jolted and jumps to the yard.

Spazio's POV

[Bianca's]

I jumped to the yard while still sniffing.

Lampo-san is also there.

I'm always such a kid, to cry in front of the enemy is supposed to be shameless.

He looked worried.

I clearly won't be able to concentrate in this fight for sure.

My thoughts are scrambled around.

I cannot even construct a correct paragraph.

It's all fragments of Carlos nii-chan.

Without much thinking, I called his name.

"Lampo-san… I… don't want to fight."

Vongola's POV

[Lampo's]

I never have any kind of experience with woman like my Pop's but… I clearly am worried about her. Even though it's tiresome. I can't help it at all. I scratch the back of my head and let out a sigh.

"Lampo-san… I… don't want to fight."

I flinched. Gee, all my hard work with that electric whips and everything are useless? But, I don't want to ignore her request either. "It's okay…" I whispered.

"Oh, no. Bianca-chan… you will fight." Said a man, the only Guardian I haven't met. According to Alaude-san, his name is Jared.

Bianca sniffed again and looked terrified as she looks up to the podium.

"If you don't fight, I make sure I'll kill Carlos… beautifully."

All of the Spazio and Vongola members stare to him in a confused or shocked look.

Sorry for the short chapter! Really, really sorry. When my official curfew is over, I'll make the chapter same as usual. Please review~! And with the World Cup euphoria I have here, I guess I'll see if I can make the next chapter brilliant!

Bye-bee~!
