Chapter 06 – Awake

Molte wakes up in the real world and groaned. 'Sometimes, I really do not like doing that,' and he sat up. 'Those memories… Byakuran's childhood in this universe is definitely much worse than his parallel-self's childhood. To have been able to keep up the illusion he had around him for five years just by his resolve to escape is really amazing. I guess that is why the Mare Sky ring chooses him…'

Molte ruffles Byakuran's hair a little and smiled. He then went to get a laptop and wears his glasses. He sat beside the bed Byakuran is in and decided to wait for Byakuran to wake up while doing his own work.

~ A few moments later ~

~ Byakuran's Point Of View ~

I woke up and felt pain all over my body. I tried to sit up but I fell back down onto the bed.

Suddenly, there was a voice. "O~ so… you are awake."

I look at the source of the voice and found that it was a boy. He has a laptop on his lap.

~ KHR ~

~ Normal Point Of View ~

"How are you feeling?" while Molte pushed his glasses up.

Byakuran ignored it. "W-Who are… you?"

"Hmm~ my name is Molte. How are you feeling?"

"My whole body hurts."

"I guess it does. I will help you heal them." Molte then puts the laptop onto the table beside the bed and holds up his hands. 'Sun flames, activate!' and both his hands were filled with Sun flames.

Byakuran was frightened by it and tried to move away while he painfully pointed to the flames. "W-What… is that…?"

"This is called the Dying Will Flame. It has existed since the time of Vongola Primo and the rest will be explaining to you later. Now… I need to heal you." Molte then puts his hand over Byakuran's body. 'Sun Healing!'

Slowly, Byakuran felt his wounds closed and the pain lessened. After a few moments, the wounds and pain were gone. Molte then deactivated his sun flames.

Byakuran felt his body very light and he smiled happily. "Thank you Molte! I feel so clean and reenergized right now!" and he hugged Molte.

Molte puts Byakuran and chuckles. "You are welcome Byakuran."

"But…" while Byakuran looked up to Molte. "Where is the guy who saved me from the Sporco Famiglia?"

"I am that guy."

Byakuran blinks his eyes and tilted his head. "Huh?"

Molte puts his hand over himself and slowly, mists surround him. A few moments later, the mists cleared and the man that saved Byakuran from the Sporco Famiglia appears.

"Hello, Byakuran."

Byakuran blinks his eyes again. "Eh…?"

The man clapped his hands and the mists cover the man again. A few moments later, the mists cleared and Molte was back.

"The man who saved you from the Sporco Famiglia and I are the same person."

Byakuran hugs Molte. "Thank you Molte." Molte just pats his head. "So… what happened to my old clothes?"

"If you mean those torn clothes, I have already thrown them away. I then used my clothes as a base to sew you some suitable clothes."

"Oh… thanks."

"Anyway~ would you like to have something to eat first or should I just explain everything to you now?"

"I…" Byakuran's stomach growled and he blushed. "…would like some food."

"Okay," and Molte holds out his hand.

Byakuran took his hand and together they went to the kitchen.

~ KHR ~

~ Living room ~

Molte leads Byakuran to the table and went to the kitchen to get some food. Byakuran sits down on a chair and pouted while waiting for the food to come.

Five minutes later, Molte came back with food and gave it to Byakuran who have it all in his mouth in a flash.

Molte raised an eyebrow. "Wao~ you are really hungry. Ne~ Bya-chan, how old are you this year?" 'He clearly needs more food because of the lack of food from the prison he was in.'

"Bya-chan…? Why are you calling me that?"

"Because you are so cute~"

Byakuran blushed. "I am thirteen years old this year."

"Really?" and Byakuran nods. "Well, I am eight this year."

"W-What?! How is that possible? You have…"

"I have killed people?" and Byakuran nods again. "So?" Byakuran was now seriously confused. "I told you before… I am a freelance hitman… since I was seven years old."

"W-What about… your parents…?"

"I will explain it to you later. For now, it is about time to have lunch. I will cook more for you, you can watch the television."

"Okay," and Byakuran went to watch the television.

Molte looks to Byakuran one more time and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

~ KHR ~

~ Thirty minutes later ~

Molte has finished cooking lunch which includes eight big dishes of food and puts all the food onto the dining table. Byakuran was already there, his eyes were having stars and he was drooling.

Molte looks at Byakuran annoyingly. "Stop drooling, Byakuran. You are making the food dirty."

"Can I really… have all this?"

"Yes, but let me take some first." Byakuran glared at Molte for that. "What~ you will be having your lunch like a hungry dog. I will rather not be between you and your food right now."

Byakuran pouted. "Fine."

Molte took some food quickly and went into the kitchen. When he was in the kitchen, he signed in relief because he did not need to see Byakuran eating like a hungry dog at all. "You can start now."

Molte then started having lunch while Byakuran was doing the same and he was actually having lunch in super-speed.

When Molte finished his lunch, he puts his dishes into the sink and went out to the dining table. What Molte saw totally shocked him. Byakuran had really finished all eight by dishes of food.

"Ah… done for lunch~ time for dessert~"

Molte sweat-dropped. 'I guess he really is going to hit puberty soon.' He signed and went over to Byakuran. "Bya-chan~ dessert time~"

Byakuran looks at Molte. "Hmm~"

Molte took out a packet of marshmallows from within his clothes and gave it to Byakuran. "Here~"

Byakuran's eyes widened. "How did you do that?"

"That is a secret"

Byakuran pouted and took the packet of marshmallows. "I will be watching television."

Molte nods. "I will be washing the dishes."

Byakuran nods and went to watch the television while Molte gathered the eight bog dishes and went to wash it in the kitchen.
