Welcome back!

Thank you Aerinkudo and RinStrawberry Gashes for reviewing!

Areinkudo - Yeah, they are childhood friends so that makes him perfect right? ;) But I just want a majority vote on who she should be with, but Tsuna is in the lead by one vote so there is a(n) almost high chance they'll be together. =)

Cyber scoffed and took out a small robotic kitten from her bag. She glanced at me with a gleam in her eye. A frown set itself on my face. I know she is going to do something, but what?

"You really were the greatest actor out of us three." She stated with a smirk on her face. I glared at her. So this is what she was going to do. Reveal me for who I really am.

"Feigning the surprise from the attacks in your battle. Faking you're smiles to everyone else. Pretending that you were, how do I say it, normal. Acting like you were new to fighting people with better experience. Tricking people into believing that you weren't what they thought. Just like with the Russel Family."

My glare harden and I started to reach for my fans. She knew me alright but I have changed. Maybe just a bit but it's enough.

"Truth be told you fooled everyone. Anyone who could have met you would have been trick. Why you even deserve an award for your performance!" Cyber exclaimed clapping her hands as the kitten jumped out of her arms. A soft sigh escaped from her lips.

"But like everything else, good things must come to an end. Such a shame that you won't be able to fake your life the way you wanted it to turn out. By the way did you enjoy these past few months pretending to be a regular middle school girl?" She feigned her interest and she cocked her head to the side.

I laughed for bit. She always was the perceptive one in the group. To think the she managed to analyze all that information from me. To gather it all in if she saw me fight and feign everything I did. This is the quality of our best technician, integration specialist, and hacker.

cyber reached into her bag and pulled out her glasses. She placed them on and stared at me.

"Always the perceptive one Akane." I mused with a dark smirk on my face. "You were always the one who saw things before Hiro and I noticed."

The wind blew making my hair blow into my face and my bangs covered it. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath before opening them. The kitten was already gone and Cyber stared at me waiting for me to make the first move. I gave a small chuckle.

"But this time, I won't let you see past me." I glared at her fans ready at my side now. I couldn't let her predict what I was going to do. I won't take that chance.

"Three different attacks." She stated pushing her glasses up. They glinted from the sunlight covering her eyes. "That's what it will take to defeat you."

I stared at her oddly. What did could she mean?

"Behind you!" Gokudera yelled out. I turned back and saw a beam coming at me. It was too close for me to jump out of the way or move to the side. There was only one thing I could do and that was take the hit.

Pain seared through my body and my eyes were blinded from the light. My body wanted to fall back from the pressure but I couldn't let that happen. No it would pleasure her too much. I can't let her have that kind of satisfaction.

"It's going to take more than that to beat me." I murmured wiping away the blood that escaped from my mouth. She smirked at me in reply.

"You want to know something interesting?" She asked taking a clip board out of her backpack. "Someone was always ahead of us by two steps. You know that person very well."

"I have no clue what you're talking about." I hissed running at her. She glanced at me from her clip board and snapped her fingers. Immediately the robot kitten appeared in front of me. It's mouth was wide open and a dark red beam was forming.

"Il ballo del Coniglio*" I closed my eyes jumping up high. A rush a wind hit my face as I started to fall back. I twisted my body so my feet faced the ground and leaned back. The feeling of leaves touching my leg made smirk and I jumped off of one of the branches feeling the beam fly right past me. I did a back flip in mid-air and opened my eyes seeing the ground closer than it should have been. But that's okay I could still make the landing just not as graceful.

"Still with your fake dances. Is there anything about you that isn't fake? I mean you were our greatest actress." Cyber mused writing something onto the clip board. I glared at her and opened my fans.

"You're right." I chuckled causing all three to glance at me puzzled. "I was your greatest actress, but I'm not pretending anymore. I'm faking the laugh or the smiles. I may have fooled everyone into think I wasn't that good of a fighter even if I was in the Organization, but I only did that because I didn't want to be seen as a monster who lived off killing. Most of my attacks were mostly a one hit kill type, but I didn't want to use that. I didn't want to kill anymore. I even fooled myself into thinking I wasn't some killer no more, that I was somewhat normal. That's why I won't let you win! Because there is one thing that I can't fake. The need to protect my friends no matter the cost." I stated determinedly swing the fans crisscross so that it made an x. Wind flew past Cyber and cut the trees down. She stared at me surprised as her glasses cracked.

"Tch are you really that dumb? Do you really think you can clean the blood that is stained on our hands?" She growled out tossing her glasses away.

"No not really. But hey a person could always try." I shrugged my shoulders. Cyber glared at me and held her hand out. After a moment she slowly closed it. I narrowed my eyes and ran at her.

It was soft and small but I heard it. Yet I knew it was to late because I hesitated in my step. I hesitated in my step because I glanced over to them. At that moment we connected eyes. It was a moment a of weakness but at least I knew where I should have gone. That I shouldn't have ran at her.

I could see my blood fly out from the speed. But the pain didn't register. Maybe because it wasn't me that wasn't pierce by the spear the kitten had threw, but feeling the blood splatter on my face was enough for me to feel some sort of pain.

"Don't let her get to you Yu-chan." She smiled at me as if a spear didn't pierce her shoulder. Reborn stood next to her before walking up to Tsuna and kicking him, but I really didn't care what happened to him right now. I just wanted to know why that person was in front of me. Why she took the hit.

"Try you're best okay. As long as it's for you're friends there is no such thing as win or lose. All that matters is being with your friends so you can laugh and cry with them."

Those bright violet eyes that I remember so clearly. The long light brown hair that was so silky and wavy. The soft smile I always loved and wished I had. The person I looked up to and wanted to be like. My mother.

I looked away from her wiping the blood away from my face. My eyes stared to the ground and I turned away from her.

"What a twist! Hey Kaichou I know a secret! You want to hear?" Cyber crackled catching my attention. The kitten was in her arms and her bangs shadowed her eyes.

"Akane I don't have time anymore. I wasted it talking to you. Let's just fight okay." My voice was soft. I didn't even look at her. Instead all I could register is that my mother was here. How I just wanted to hug her but I also just want to hit her for leaving me so alone. Which one should I do? What can I do?

"You sure? It's a really juicy secret." She stated in a sickly sweet tone.

"Shut the fuck up." I growled lunging at her. Cyber smirked at me tossing the kitten back making it hit the tree. She jumped at towards me and I swung my fist at her face. She moved her head to the side and elbowed me into my side.

I fell back but jumped back up and made a kick at her face. She ducked down and tried to swing at my legs but I jumped up flipping my body over hitting her in the back with my white fan.

I bent down when I landed opening my black fan. I closed my eyes and began to spin it. I jumped up throwing the unopened white fan as well. When I felt the rush of air against my face I spread out my left arm spinning and lowered my right arm barely catching the white fan. I raised my arm opening the white fan in the process.

"Oten Ai!**" I exclaimed opening my eyes. I flipped my body over landing in crouch position. In one second blood poured out of Akane. She stared at me surprised and I took this to my advantage as I ran at her.

Akane blinked and bent down when I was close enough. She did and uppercut, hitting me in my abdomen. Immediately she twisted her body and kicked me in the side.

I flew back hitting a tree hard. Blood flew out from my mouth and I slid down the tree. I wiped away the blood. I smirked at her and took out a small object from my pocket.

"Sorry I just need to check on something." I mocked her sickly sweet tone and blew into the silver whistle. After a moment Akane stared at me like I was an idiot. My smirk widen she'll see in a second.

"Miyako-san!" Tsuna exclaimed in surprise staring at Yukiko's mother. She glanced at him and gave him a smile. Tsuna's eyes trailed to her right hand that was holding her left shoulder. Blood was staining her whit blouse and some dripped down from her hand as well.

"HIIEE! YOU'RE BLEEDING!" He screamed pointing at her. Miyako gave a soft laugh as Reborn kicked the young Vongola.

"I'm okay don't worry Tsu-kun." Miyako gave him another smile before turning her attention away. But before Tsuna could look to where she was Gokudera appeared in front of him.

"Jyudaime are you alright?" He cried out examining him. Yamamoto appeared next him smiling.

"Haha you were out for a while Tsuna!" He exclaimed cheerfully. Gokudera stopped and glared at Yamamoto. Tsuna blinked barely taking in their wounds.

"What happened? You guys are hurt!" Tsuna cried out worriedly. Gokudera smiled at him telling him that it was nothing but a few scratches. Yamamoto just laughed the question off.

"We're okay Jyudaime, but it's her who is a worse condition." Gokudera stated seriously turning back to gaze where Miyako was looking. Tsuna followed his stared and his eyes widen when he saw Yukiko.

The back of her shirt was burned off and a bit of her back was burned as well. Cuts were on her bodies and multiple weapons laid on the floor. There were also bits off tree bark and branches everywhere as well.

"What's going on?" Tsuna panicked gripping his hair. Gokudera bit his lip and looked away and Yamamoto lost his smile.

"Yukiko is fighting with her Organization right now." Reborn stated freaking Tsuna out. Tsuna looked away as he saw Yukiko being kicked into a tree. He stood up immediately but stopped once Reborn began to speak.

"What do you think you're doing Dame-Tsuna?" He asked staring up at him with an unreadable expression.

"Someone has to help her!" Tsuna cried out. Reborn didn't make any recognition.

"Did you forget that she threatened to kill you?"

"T-That wasn't her! It couldn't be her! Yukiko would never say something like that!" Tsuna exclaimed defensively. Reborn smirked to himself.

"This is her fight. As the boss you should respect her decisions."

"I'm not going to be in the mafia! Besides Yukiko is my friend!"

"Then respect her decision as her friend. Yukiko needs to come on terms with her past." Miyako cut in. Tsuna turned to her surprised. He could see the pain and troubled expression on her face. It hurt her to just stay back in the sidelines and do nothing to help.

Tsuna looked away defeated and Gokudera grabbed his shoulder. He turned to look at him.

"Don't worry Tsuna! Yukiko said she was willing to protect us no matter what! She won't lose." Yamamoto grinned at him. Tsuna gave him a unsure nod and turned back to the fighting scene.

"Hiro should be on his way." I stated breathing a bit hard. Akane raised her eye brow at me. I grinned at her. "But I'm afraid he's a bit too late."

I threw my black fan at her and she dodged it and ran towards me. My grin widened the closer she came to me. When she was nothing but a few feet away I pulled my right hand back and threw the white fan at her. She dodged it as well and I pulled my left hand back. The black fan appeared and circled around her and following right after was the white fan circling her in the opposite direction. I pulled the string tight capturing her.

"Never was good at strategies and noticing the enemy's attacks until it's too late." I state nonchalantly shrugging my shoulders. She glared at me before smirking.

"You forgot my kitten." She chuckled. I stared at her before laughing a bit.

"You mean this one." I pointed to the bushes and Aki came out with a broken robotic kitten. Akane stared at it with no emotion on her face until she turned to me.

"I guess the fun is over. It was fun while it lasted, but at least one of our goals was complete." She gave me a mocking grin. I stared at her confused.

Something cold went around my neck and pulled me forward. A metallic collar appeared on Akane's neck and the chain in the back of it pulled her back. My eyes widen when I saw who it was.

The Vindice.
