The first hit was quick and fucking hurt like hell. The second and third that follow were the same but less painful. The rest of the hits were numbing, like I would see my blood splatter but I felt no pain at all. Well physical pain that is.
Emotional pain was what really hurt me. It was his cries for her to stop it that hurt me. It was his pleas for me to stop fighting and just give up that broke me. It was the thought of how he wasted his cries and pleas on a murderer on me that tore me apart.
Maybe that's why I just stopped. Why I stopped dodging and let her cut me up to her hearts content. But this probably hurt him even more. Heh it seems that no matter what I do will hurt him either way.
I came back to see him, to be with him. But it seems it only made trouble for him. I joined to protect him, but look at me. How can I protect him if I can't even protect myself?
I should have just stayed back in Italy. I shouldn't have been selfish and putting my wants before my needs. But some good things came out of this.
I saw the person I wanted to be with for six years. I laughed with him and his friends who I started to befriend as well. I went back to dancing, the thing my mom always wanted me to do. I wore the kimono she always wished to see on me one day. I met someone who could finally see my tricks other than Hiro and Akane. My father's last greatest work of art was finally used.
My body limply fell to the floor as my eyes blurred from the blood. A slight pressure was applied to my neck.
"How idiotic of me for going all out on you." Aurora mused fiddling with the ring. I made no move to stop her.
"There we go." She mumbled to herself successfully getting the ring off. Slowly I closed my eyes waiting for the darkness to take over. Could this be the end?
"Smile for me." Was the first thing that came out of my mouth. Tsuna stared at me shocked.
"W-What?" He questioned almost falling off the wall that I tried so hard to get him on. He cried quickly grabbing me for support.
"Just smile for me okay." I stated grinning at him. He frowned slightly making my own grin fall.
"Why Yuki-chan?"
I sighed turning to the bright night sky. It was going to start soon and I wanted to see him smile once the fireworks start up.
"Trust me on this okay Tsu-kun." I gave him a sweet smile grabbing his hand. He blushed lightly before giving me a nervous smile. I frowned and let go of his hand.
"No actually smile at me!" I demanded grabbing his cheeks. His eyes widen and he almost fell off the wall again.
"I-I can't!" He cried out. I let go of his face and brought my hands to my lap. My head stayed as I stared down at them.
"Please Tsu-kun."I whispered softly. His hand grabbed mine making me look at him. He was a little nervous, but slowly he gave me a soft innocent smile. My eyes widen as we heard a small boom.
Coloful lights illuminated his face making his smile shine even more. His smile was bigger and brighter as he turned back to the fireworks. I stared at him in awe as his smile brightened every moment.
"I'm jealous of you're smile. It seems so sweet and innocent. Actually I love it." I stated turning back to the fireworks blushing lightly.
"Ne Tsu-kun, I want to tell you something. You're smile could save a life or make brighten a person's day. Before I die I want you to smile at me like that okay."
"W-What are you talking about Yuki-chan?" He cried out in surprise. I giggled lightly before kissing his cheek. He blushed bright red.
"Nothing."
I can't die like this. No not yet. I still need to see that smile.
Slowly I pushed myself up ignoring the pain erupting my body. Ignoring the shortage of breath intakes or the rapid painful heartbeat.
"Too late, I won." Aurora smirked at me holding up the two rings. I smirked to myself and began to laugh. How idiotic can this person really be?
"Yukiko why didn't you stay down? Please stop this!" Tsuna voice cried out. I bit my lip ignoring the part of me that wanted to obey him.
"Y-You're smile...I still...haven't seen it." I never knew that it could so painful to just say a few words. But I made a promise to my younger self and I was going to keep it.
"T-That...ring," I took in a big breath ignoring the stinging in my throat. "is fake."
"Lies."
Slowly I trudged towards her. She frowned at me and raised the bloody scythe up. My smirk widen.
"This was...really too easy." I lied giving her a grin. She didn't panic but I could tell by her eyes she was confused.
"You my friend," I coughed out some blood and clenched my hands tightly from the pain. "are the most...idiotic person...that ever lived." If it was possible I would have chuckled but the pain was intensifying from moving, but it was going away slowly. Thank you cold snow.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" She growled out closing the rest of the gap and grabbed me by my shirt collar. I winced but gave her a smirk.
Shakily I raised up my hand and grabbed my ring. She growled at me before letting go and hitting me in one of my cuts. Out of pain I let go of the ring and held onto my stomach coughing out some blood.
"You fucking bitch...I was going to...show you it was fake." I hissed out breathless. Pain vibrated through me and blood started to come out of the cut.
"You're just trying to psyche me out." She hissed pushing me to the floor. If I wasn't so cut up and in pain I would beat the shit out of her. But she was right. One of the things we taught in the Organization was that you always try and psyche out the the enemy at all costs.
Hesitantly I reached for the ring and enclosed it in my hand once I reached it. I closed my eyes breathing harder now before using what's left of my strength to sit up.
"Watch and be amazed." I muttered humorously to myself. I opened my hand and revealed the ring I had won in the festival. Slowly Aurora picked it up and examined.
"All be damn." She mumbled grasping the ring tightly before throwing it at my face. Then she grabbed me by the collar glaring at me intensely.
"Your face is going to get stuck like that if you don't stop doing that." Slowly I touched her forehead with my forefinger. An anime vein appeared on her head before she threw against one of the trees.
No pain came this time. That must mean the numbing already spread through my body. This is good then.
"Five minutes." One of the Cervello stated through the intercom. Aurora smirked at me and walked over to me.
"That's all I need. Now tell me where the ring is." She growled out the last part to me. I stared up at her unamused before pushing myself up.
"Why...it's on my... neck of course,...just like yours." I stated smugly reaching into my shirt and grabbed the cold metal. I pulled it out and let go for her to see. She growled at me in response swinging the scythe at me. I dodge before ducking out of the way to let the tree fall down. It landed in between us.
"I..still have a...few tricks up my sleeve." I mused to her breathless. I gave her a small grin and took notice of how angry she looked. My grin widen a little bit.
Aurora jumped over the tree quickly and ran at me blindly. Her scythe was already up in the air ready to strike down any moment. Once she was close to me and within her scythes length she swung hard at me. I dropped to the floor before rolling out and stood up. I could feel blood dribbling out of my mouth.
She glared at me before laughing out loud.
"After all this time the only thing you could do was hurt me a little bit and yet look at the damage I caused you. Now I feel stupid for even going all out on someone as weak as you." She stated loudly. The bangs that weren't sticking to the blood on my face covered my left eye. I gave her a bloody grin.
"You're right," I muttered licking my lips. "I'm the one...that looks like...they're about to die on the spot. But you...you are in a...worse condition that me." Blood dripped down from my chin and I wiped it off before giving off a sinister laugh.
"The first stage...of the Hitoshirenu keise." I stated darkly. "Rai Kage*"
My eyes wandered to the letter. The one that held the instructions to this odd fan and it's counterpart. But why would my father leave his greatest work for me?
I sighed to myself and ran my hand through my hair. Aki whined beside and I let my hand fall down to pet hair. While doing so I grabbed the white fan and held it up to the lights. There was nothing there like I expected to be.
"Hey kid what's with the fans." The old hag questioned. I turned to her and stopped petting Aki to get the black fan.
"Something my father left for me." I muttered standing up. I walked past her and stopped for a moment. " Hiroshirenu keise."
"Interesting..." She trailed off."But can you even use that as a weapon?"
"I really don't know, but let's find out." I stated grinning to myself.
After doing so I threw up the black fan before doing a slow spin. My left arm extended out and caught the fan before I started to spin. With every spin I would swing each fan fast at my target. Finally I came to stop but what I saw disappointed me.
The trees only had small cuts everywhere. It wasn't even enough to cut down a branch!
"What the hell where you trying to do kid?" The old hag mused laughing loudly. I frowned and turned to her was I suppose to know it was going to be like this?
"I'm going upstairs to get my flask," She paused and stared at me. "Do you want anything?"
I shook my head and heard a small whine from Aki. A small smile grew on my face as I walked towards the injured dog.
"Get Aki some water please." I bent down and started to pet her. She rolled over onto her back and held her paws up wanting me to rub her belly. I laughed lightly and scratched her ticklish spot making her hind leg go back and forth fast.
We stayed like that for about ten minutes before a loud thud echoed throughout the room. Surprised we both looked back and my eyes widen at what I saw.
All the trees where cut up into little pieces or broken. Some were half cut or branches were hanging off the trees. It was an odd sight.
"Five...four...three," I stopped licking my lips. "One."
Aurora stared at me like I was an idiot. Her grip tightened on her scythe as a small grin appeared on her face.
"I'm wai-" She was cut off as blood spurted out from her cuts. The small cuts began to grow rapidly and more blood started to splatter around the area. The ring that hung on her neck was also cut off in the cutting frenzy.
A small smile appeared on my lips. Time was up but at least I still had my revenge.
"The dome will self-destruct in 10..9..." A computerized voice stated.
My eyes began to blur again and my body finally gave out to me. I closed my eyes listening to the countdown.
"Yukiko get up! Please! Try to get up and get out of there!" Tsuna's cries made me open my eyes.
Right in front of me was one part of the Snow ring. Slowly I reached out to it and heard the countdown hit one.
"Gomen Tsu-kun." I whispered as my arm collapsed before it touched the half Vongola ring and a bright light blinded me.
The last thing I heard before I black out was the explosion, Tsuna's cries, and pounding.
"S-She got out right?" Tsuna whispered staring at the blank screen with wide eyes.
Momoko bit her lip hard and ended up drawing out blood. She didn't want to believe it. But the proof was right there and she saw it with her own eyes. She watched her 'granddaughter' die with her very own eyes.
The sensors around the dugout disappeared and without a second thought Tsuna ran out followed by his family except Hibari.
"I can see why the Ninth chose him." Momoko stated and chuckled bitterly to herself. Reborn turned to her and nodded before he and Dino followed after the group. Hibari just walked out of the dugout and walked away from where Yukiko was.
A lone tear slid down Momoko's face and a part of her hoped Yukiko didn't die. Because she didn't want to lose yet another person she cared about. She didn't want to feel that pain again.
With that haunting though and familiar feeling, Momoko ran after them with a fading hope.
Once Momoko reached the spot where Yukiko last was a small sad smile made it's way to her face at the she saw.
Everyone was quickly pulling up small parts of the tree or tried to push them away in hopes of finding their friend. But their was one who was searching fiercely for her. The one who kept having memories of himself with her when they were younger flash before his eyes.
A small low whine echoed throughout the area making everyone stop what they were doing.. Another whine followed after but it was softer and begin to fade. But the odd thing was it was coming from the far end of where Yukiko was laying down before the explosion.
Hope began to flow rapidly into both Tsuna and Momoko as they followed after the sound. Their last hope.
A large chunk of a tree greeted them once the whine hand finally stopped. But what was under the tree made Momoko and Tsuna freeze as long with everyone else that came from behind the duo.
It was a pale lone hand hand that laid in the snow limply.
"Yukiko.." Tsuna whispered in staring at the hand.
It wasn't until that Dino ordered everyone to move the tree did he snap out of his trance.
He rushed to also help move the tree. He tried with all his might and nothing but his pounding heart resided in his ears. His heart was racing faster than a heart should beat and his mind was jumbled up. The feeling of anger, helplessness, and regret swirled throughout him. But the one thing he knew he needed to do once the tree was off Yukiko was apologize. Apologize for bringing her into this mess.
"What the fuck?" Gokudera mumbled once they managed to successfully get the tree off.
Aki laid on top of Yukiko whimpering softly and kept licking Yukiko's face. But there was blood all over her coat. Slowly Aki lifted her head and locked eyes with Tsuna for a moment then she stood up with some trouble and limped to Yukiko's side before laying down.
"Yukiko wake up! Come on just open your eyes please!" Tsuna pleaded grabbing onto Yukiko.
"Jyudaime.." Gokudera whispered feeling remorse as he stared at his friend crying over that girl.
"Tsuna..." Yamamoto felt helpless watching Tsuna trying to get Yukiko to open her eyes or even move.
Momoko stared at the motionless body before clenching her hands. Anger surged through her as she thought of the many times she could have prevented this. Yet all she did was speed this up. If she only just stopped trying to get Yukiko join this wouldn't have happened.
"B-Baka...Tsu-kun." A hoarse voice whispered. Tsuna's head snapped up as everyone stared towards where the voice came from surprised.
Yukiko gave Tuna painful smile as her vision started to fade in and out.
"Don't worry...I haven't...seen your smile." Yukik's eyes closed as she once more submerged into darkness.
"Romario!" Dino exclaimed. Romario nodded and hurried over to Yukiko and picked her up.
"We're going to take her to the hospital." Dino explained hurriedly as he and Romario rushed off.
"And I guess this one will be my patient then." Momoko mumbled joyfully to herself and picked up the half-dead dog and rushed out as well. As long as there was chance Yukiko might live Momoko would don anything to make sure that when she wakes up her savior would be there to see her.
Tsuna stared after them barely catching what the Cervello had announced.
"Please be okay Yu-chan." Tsuna whispered softly. He couldn't forgive himself if Yukiko died because of him.
"Lucky did you see that." Cyber whispered surprised.
She thought she was lucky when she had transferred what all she had hacked into onto a different computer but she was wrong. What she saw pissed her off and surprised her.
"Lady Kaichou or should I say Yukiko, your time is now up." Lucky growled out clenching his hands angrily.
He couldn't believe that she of all people betrayed them! They were supposed to be the Death Trio! The creators of the Organization! But she decided to do this! She decided to 'kill herself' in the name of the Organization but instead it was to be with that boy. The next Vongola Boss to exact!
"I hope that bitch dies." Cyber spat out typing furiously on the computer. Lucky agreed with her and began to plot ways to kill of his friend, his sister.
Sirens started to ring and the computers shut down. Red and blue lights appeared and blinked back and forth.
"What the hell?" Cyber questioned standing up. Footsteps sounded out from the room.
"Boss, the Vindice!" A girl ran in breathing hard. The duo stared at her surprised as a small metal collar wrapped around her neck.
"Cyber." Lucky stated holding out his hand. Cyber nodded and opened a small case that had a green button on it. She pressed it and computerized voice stated that the building was going to self destruct in one minute.
Cyber grabbed Lucky's hand right when the Vindice showed up.
"Look for us in Japan." Lucky stated monotone before he and Cyber disappeared from them.
