Wow look at what I'm updating. What a miracle.
Was the original plot supposed to run this way? Yeah, I don't know anymore.

Vongola Mansion,Territory. Specific Location: Forest
That damn brat being the cause of his current predicament. Iemitsu inwardly growled as he 'helped' search for the body of the boy he never considered as his own blood. Maybe he should have made sure the boy was dead before leaving him alone? That definitely would have been better than quickly assuming that with the boy's current state, he wouldn't survive that long. Maybe unless-
Iemitsu clenched his fist as things started to make sense.
Someone had saved the boy. That's the only possible socenario there is to it aside from the boy dying somewhere else or being taken by a rival famiglia. If those where to happen, the boy couldn't have gotten that far with his wounds and enemy famiglias could have contacted them by now.
Iemitsu cursed in his mind. Had someone found out what he did? He had to find those imbeciles who dare spoil his perfect plan and make things run smoothly just like how he planned it to be. Damn that kid still causing him problems. If he's still alive, he'll just have to wound him again. This time making sure he's no longer breathing.
The CEDEF leader calmed himself down as it won't do good if people suddenly get all suspicious with him. This is just a setback and he won't let it happen again. He had carefully planned everything from the beginning and this minor problem will never be the cause of his failure. He can't afford to fail or he would fail Vongola. His famiglia, the Vongola should remain standing on the top and he won't let anything or anyone prevent him from achieving his goals.
He had sworn. After all, he is only paying his debts.
And besides, he's just doing what is right and good for the Vongola.

"This is boring and it's annoying the hell out of me" A guy with a bored expression lazily raised his hands towards the sky before rolling over. "How long are we going to stay like this?"
"Shhh. You're too noisy, you'll wake him up" Another boy, slightly younger by comparison pouted at the other. "We're not suppose to disturb Tsuna"
"Nonsense. He's too tired, can't you see?" The other person scoffed "I bet he can't even hear us under his loud snores"
"Hey! His snores aren't that loud! You ugly monster" His companion accused him childishly.
"What did you just called me? You annoying ve-"
"Stop it you two! You might end up revealing our existence!" A third voice, sporting a more mature tone than the other two had finally spoken. "Have you two forgotten that he isn't suppose to know about us until he's a bit older?"
"But it's really getting boring. What are we supposed to do then?"
"For now we observe, Nashi" The third person replied as his eyes burned with passion. "But soon enough, we'll reveal ourselves"
"Roger that! Observe and wait! Yay!"
"Fine. I guess we can wait a little longer" Nashi mumbled, agreeing with his companions. "I'm still bored though"

Vongola Territory, Italy. Specific Location: Varia Mansion.
"Ushishishi~ Mammon where are you? The prince is bored~" Belphegor searched for his favorite money hoarder all over the Varia Squad's mansion. His current day had been boring so far that polishing his tiara had been exhausting and not so fun. "Ushishishi~ Mammon let's play! The prince will pay you for your services~ Ushishishi~"
"She's not here trash" Xanxus had just returned only to see his storm in the middle of destroying one of the intricately designed mahogany doors with his knives. He scoffed at the act and knowing that Lussuria would have quite the fit later on.
"Oh? Is Mammon on a mission? Ushishishi~" Xanxus merely grunted in response.
"When is she coming back?"
"In a decade or so, probably longer" Xanxus smirked at the aura of total disbelief from the other.
Belphegor dropped the knife he was holding. Xanxus strode pass the Varia assassin but stopped midway. "Don't bother trying to contact her, scum"
Sure, Mammon said to watch over him. She never did say something about a little teasing would hurt. Soon enough, Xanxus' eyes shone with determination before he quickly adapted to his Varia boss mode and soon a scowl formed on his face. "Stop whining scum! make yourself useful"
"VVVVOOOOIIII! Shitty boss I have news about the Vongola!" Squalo Superbi suddenly showed up with a voice echoing all throughout the whole Varia mansion.
Xanxus growled at the other. "Don't shout at me, scum"
"Ushishishshi~ What is the news peasant?"
"VVVOOOIIII don't call me peasant" Squalo waved his sword dangerously at the other into which Belphegor simply evaded while laughing in the process.
"Ushishishi~ too slow for the prince!"
"Stop moving and stay still VOOOIIIIII!"
"Try to keep me waiting more you scums and I'll shoot"
"Ushishishi~ boss is in a bad mood~ you can kill Squalo to feel happy"
"VVVOOIIIII! Why me!?"
"Because I'm a prince, obviously~ ushishishi!"
"VOOOIIII DIE AND NEVER BE RESURRECTED!"
"Ushishishi~ not going to hap-
The Varia storm's words were cut off when a pissed Xanxus started shooting at them with his eyes narrowing"
"Better shut your childish bickering and talk shark peasant"
"Fine. Trash of a boss it seems like the young Lion's younger son is currently missing and it could be that he's already dead. Nono sent out search and rescue teams to locate his whereabouts"
"Ushishishi~ that Tsunayoshi brat?" Belphegor narrowed his eyes and a brief sense of worry reflected on his eyes. He do like the brat more than any other brats to be honest. Not that any other brat had tolerated him anyway.
"According to Iemitsu's report, they've been attacked by an unknown enemy famiglia while inside Vongola's territory. They've been outnumbered and Iemitsu was forced to leave Tsunayoshi in a safe hiding place to go get some reinforcements but when they got back, the brat is no longer there. The whole Vongola is fearing for the worst"
Xanxus narrowed his eyes, just how much had Sawada Iemitsu planned? And why is he even plotting such misdeed in the first place? Most importantly, why his won flesh and blood? Looks like there's more into this whole predicament than the blond idiot merely hating his own son.
"Spy on the Vongola and update me" Narrowing his eyes, Xanxus walked out. It looks like, he'll need to act up. Soon.
…iOiOiOiOiOi…
Vongola Mansion. Specific Location: Atsuki's room.
Sawada Atsuki paced back and forth inside his room, his feet already tired and trembling but he can't seem to stop. How could he when worry and dread is currently eating him up, worsening the bad feeling he currently have.
What if they won't be able to find his brother? What if something bad had happened to him? What if he got hurt or the enemies of their family had gone and kidnapped him? What if he's-
Atsuki stopped his own thoughts from going further.
He can't stop worrying though. His brother, unlike him was never treated nice and fair by their own parents which puzzled Atsuki a lot. Whey were they being treated differently when they're their kids? Both of them. And to top it all, his younger brother is really good and sweet and also very much innocent. He simply had that certain aura that draws people around, basking in his kindness but somehow, their parents are too blind too see that.
Their parents refuse to acknowledge all of Tsuna's beautiful traits. All they think of his brother is that for them he is nothing but a burden and a weakness. It is a lie. A total lie but their parents' refuses to see how wrong they are. Atsuki hates how narrow-minded their parents had become.
Their mother is wrong. Their father is also wrong, dead wrong. Tsunayoshi was strong in his own ways and he is very much special.
"Tsuna, please be safe."

Namimori, Japan. Specific Location: Unknown
"Luche, you called?"
"Prepare a grand feast, Fon dear. Today, we welcome a sky" Luche smiled as her eyes wondered at the floating clouds above. "Today, everything will start to change"
Nodding with understanding and with a small smile, the martial artist started the task at hand and leaving the other behind.
The sky Arcobaleno smiled as she ran a hand around her belly. It won't take long before her due and though she is to have some time to spend with her daughter, that time will be limited and soon all she can do is to watch her from a place only death will be able to enter.
A few drops of tears cascaded down the sky Arcobaleno's cheeks before she wiped them away. Now won't be the time to be all emotional. True, at first the fate of a sky Arcobaleno, the one into which they are to die young had been hard for her to accept at first. It was unfair after all, unfair to be stripped off of things that you could have done and of someone you could become. When the curse had first been passed down to her, she had been devastated, blaming the whole world that out of millions of people why does it have to be her?
Then, fate seemed to have laid the reasons why one by one and slowly, she began to understand. Being chosen as the sky Arcobaleno and being given a chance to help keep the balance and safety of the world is actually a privilege. Even if that privilege comes with a prize.
But does she want the same kind of destiny for her unborn child? If she had a different kind of choice, would she let Yuni live the same kind of life like those of her own mother and her ancestors?She doesn't have to worry now though as her daughter's fate is very much secured. Luche smiled, for some reason, though simply glimpses of what her unborn child's future is, she knew that for her things are going to be a lot better.
It's not a straightforward path, nor is the way to it any clearer but when it's all over, things are going to be much better.
And knowing that, Luche knew she can die in peace.

Vongola Mansion, Italy. Specific Location: Nono's office.
"Ganauche, how's the search going so far?".
"We've searched everywhere, Nono but there's no trace of the boy" Ganauche informed his boss grimly as more and more men piled up having done their own searches on specific directions. Just then, Ganauche's phone started beeping.
"How's your search going?" Nono's guardian asked immediately and not even bothering for pleasantries like he used to.
"No improvements and it also seemed that the rain will pour hard in less than an hour which is a bad thing. We might end up losing any possible clues we could have find" Brownie Jr. responded back as his men continued searching even going farther than the vicinity they've been asked to investigate.
"Continue the search as long as you can. Has the young lion contacted you yet?"
"One of his subordinates, a man named Turmeric did. Their search had been futile like how it did with the rest of us" Ganauche
Nono's cane had lit with his sky flames before having it extinguished with his own will. "Do not stop searching until we find answers and tell Reborn I need to see him on his next visit"
"Yes, boss!"

Japan. Specific Location: Namimori
"Where is this place, Mammon-nee?"
"This, Tsunayoshi is a place called Namimori" Mammon explained as he fixed the boy's clothes, hiding the bruises that had started showing on his skin. "And this is the place where you are going to start anew"
"Are you going to leave me here?" The young boy asked fearfully and clutched at his sisterly figure's cloak. "I don't want Mammon-nee to leave me"
"I am not going to leave you" The Varia member assured as she held unto one of Tsuna's hands. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you"
"Thank you"
"For what?" Mammon quirked an eyebrow though it had gone unnoticed with the cloak covering her face. The young Vongola had taken her interest once again, what's with him saying sorry when he hadn't done anything wrong? If ever, he actually is the most tolerable person aside from Luche that she had met in her life.
"Because Mammon-nee isn't getting tired of me just like how father and mother did"
"Your parents are dumb assholes" Tsuna giggled at that. Mammon stared at the boy having noticed how his eyes turned back to its original color when she had been sure that it had turned orange a few hours ago. Had it been a simple trick of the light? Mammon shook her head knowing there is more to it than meets the eye.
She'll just have to find the answers to it then. There's a lot of mysteries revolving around Sawada Tsunayoshi into which the boy himself had no idea about. Mammon will enjoy cracking the mystery behind for sure and once she does, it'll be one of those unpaid 'jobs' that'll be totally worth whatever kind of gamble she's willing to bet on.
"Are you hungry? It would take us three more hours to our destination. We might as well grab something to eat"
"Is Mammon-nee going to pay?" Tsuna asked almost baffled by the idea of his older sister like figure actually spending money when really, having to part with money is her biggest 'fear' in life.
"Of course I will. I'm not that heartless to deny you a decent meal" Mammon stated before slightly pondering. "Or we can wash the dishes afterwards"
"But my wounds will hurt" Tsuna pointed out "... then you'll have to have them treated again and it will cost you"
"Dine and Ditch?"
"I'm clumsy. I'll trip and get caught"
"True. Remind me to have someone train you on stealth and stamina. How about I pretend to hold you hostage and demand a free meal?"
"I don't want to be an accomplice for a crime" Tsuna pouted.
"It's not an actual crime" Mammon tried to explain but the young boy would have none of it. In the end, the mist Arcobaleno compromised to the young boy. "Fine, I'll pay for our meals. You can just pay me back when you get older"

"Have you seen his wounds? They're huge! So just let me help Tsunayoshi" Nashi struggled from his companion's hold while a peculiar orange
"I know okay, I've seen them too! and I know how much he's hurting but we can't barge into the whole fray just because he's wounds aren't healed yet"
"But you saved him from dying, Natsu. I saw you gave your flames when his father attacked"
"That's a totally different situation, Yoshi. I saved Tsuna since we can't afford to lose him when he's our only chance left while Nashi here is trying to risk us being found out when we can't afford it yet "
"I only want to heal his wounds?"
"And how do you think will that mist Arcobaleno react when she sees those wounds and bruises suddenly disappearing?" Nashi fell silent at those words.
"Don't act so hardheaded and stubborn, Nashi. Remember the very reason why we are here and why we are existing in a world we aren't supposed to. We can't afford problems along the way just because you can't control yourself"
Nashi stopped struggling and sat down, burying his head on his palms. Moments later, he managed to calm down. "I'm sorry, Natsu. To you as well, Yoshi. You guys are right. I'm being reckless"
"No offense taken!" Yoshi grinned showing two thumbs up.
"Remember your purpose, Nashi. We can't afford failure for a fourth time" Natsu reminded with a serious tone. "Besides, we'll just have to wait for a little lesser than expected before we start moving"
"Fate is in our side, after all"
It took me almost a year to update. Yeah, I'm terrible. This is shorter than the pilot chapter too.
This would most probably turn cliche and I'm sorry.
But who the heck is Natsu, Yoshi and Nashi? Can I even write them properly? What would happen to Tsuna's twin? What's going to happen next? What's the reason behind Iemitsu's acts? Those are the questions even I, ask myself and is still finding the answers to.
Anyways, I've set up a poll on my profile on which KHR stories I should update next. I've been making promises of updates but I really never get into it that is why the poll is there to kind of give me some pressure and finally get things going.
