Veila covered her mouth as she yawned and leaned against the underground wall. A bored look was plastered on her face as she checked her watch. It had been a while since she had gotten into the secret entrance.

Sounds of multiple footsteps caught her attention and the look of boredom was replaced by an eager look. A smug grin expanded onto her face as she saw the faces of the people she had wanted to see.

"Didn't know you were going to bring an audience to watch your defeat." Veila stated cockily as she pushed herself away from the wall. Alba sent her a dark glare and extended her right arm in front of the group.

"How long are you going to play this game Yukiko?" She glowered taking a few steps ahead of them. Veila cocked her head to side as if confused but her grin told otherwise.

"Yukiko? She's dead. I'm Veila." The blond replied.

"Shut the fuck up! I've known who you were this whole time and they know as well!" Alba growled pointing and accusing finger at Veila. In reply Veila shook her head in disdain.

"Naze?" Tsuna asked lightly staring at Veila. Veila turned her attention to the brunette.

"Naze? Baka it should be obvious." Veila stated as as if he was a fool. Tsuna stared at her in surprise.

"Obvious? Do you know how worried Jyudaime was about you? Don't fucking say it's obvious especially since we've barely came to know that you are apart of the Millefore family!" Gokudera yelled angrily. Veila glanced at him before pulling out a box weapon. An indigo flame began to wisp out violently from her ring.

"Volpe di Nebbia*." She stated placing her flame into the box. A pure black fox came out with indigo flames surrounding it's feet and the tips of it's tail.

"What trick shall we play Mii?" She mused lightly petting Mii. Mii gave a soft whine before closing her eyes.

The underground walls began to ooze blood and decayed hands started to reach up from the ground.

"What the hell is going on?" Gokudera yelled out as Tsuna yelled out from when a hand had grabbed his ankle. Alba glanced at Gokudera as she took out a box weapon.

"Yukiko also has mist flames from the use of her old magic tricks and illusions." Alba stated placing her flame into the box. A lynx appeared with it's paws covered in cloud flames. The inside of the ears were spilling out the purple flames.

"Lince Nuvola**." The lynx looked up at her and nodded and let out a loud growl before lunging at the fox.

"Mii counter attack." Veila stated before running at the lynx head on. When she was close enough she jumped over it and landed a few feet away. A piercing scream came from Mii as the lynx dug it's teeth into her skin. Alba smirked at her and Veila smirked back.

A sudden whimper and a loud whine came shortly after the scream.

"Fiore!" Alba cried out but was cut short as Veila lunged at her.

"Sorry you can't interfere your fight is with me." She stated chuckling but stopped once Alba dug her knee into her stomach. She punched the blond off her and stood up. From the corner of her eye she saw the Vongola getting ready to move.

"Just wait Decimo. I'll get her to admit it." Alba stated giving him a smile.

"Don't forget about your opponent just yet." A murderous voice stated punching Alba into the face. Veila glanced back and frown as she saw that Mii was still struggling with Fiore.

"Why don't you do it? Why don't you take out Yuu to help her? I know you want too." Alba smirked as blood flowed down from her mouth. Veila bent her head down and clenched her hands.

She knew what that would mean if she took out Yuu. That she submitted to the Vongola. That she would become the one person she had to forget; the old her. She didn't become part of the Millefore only to have them ruin it. She would have revenge no matter what. But how can she when the one person she's doing it for is right there wondering why she was doing this.

"Iie." She stated running at Alba. Alba smirk widened and she bent down to the floor swung her feet at the unsuspecting woman. Veila fell back but quickly did a back flip so as to not fall on the floor.

"There's no way you could be Yukiko!" Tsuna screamed stopping the two. Veila didn't look back but she stood there to surprised to move.

"The Yukiko I know wouldn't let her pride get in the way! She would help those who needed it. She...she wouldn't have just abandoned them!" He yelled.

Viela turned around. What would he have known? What could he understand the pain she felt? He couldn't.

"Yukiko died a long time ago."

"No she didn't. She... just got lost." He mumbled repeating the words from years ago. Veila eyes widen before she laughed.

"So what now? Did you think I would just say 'I understand I'll come back to the Vongola. I'll be Yukiko again.'? Let me tell you something. I didn't join the Millefore for no reason. I need my revenge."

"What part of revenge makes you feel better? It's the same thing again! How is revenge going to help you? Revenge took you away! Don't you remember?" He screamed angrily. Veila's eyes widen before a bitter chuckled escaped her lips.

"So untainted. Ne, stay that way. I would hate to see your eyes clouded with that emotion." She whispered taking out a white box weapon. She glanced up and smiled at Tsuna.

"She was hurt. Maybe revenge could have numbed her pain for a while. But when she was younger she told me that revenge just clouded her eyes." Alba replied to Tsuna's unanswered questions.

"Naze Yukiko?" Tsuna whispered lightly. Yukiko closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

Once again Tsuna had changed her back to the way she was. He always that way, even when she was in the organization back then. Somehow he would always make her feel like the old her. Maybe it was time to tell him after all.

However before she could do anything, pink clouds engulfed the room. Everyone, save Ryohei, Alba, and Reborn, stared wide eyed at the person who appeared before them. Most of all, the condition they were in.

The fourteen year-old Yukiko stared at them with clouded eyes. Her body had multiple cuts and she was bleeding heavily. She turned her head to stare at them before she fell down to the floor unconscious.

No one made a move for a second before they ran to her body.

"Jyudaime she's in bad condition." Gokudera stated.

"Let's get her to the hospital room." Ryohei stated picking up her body. Tsuna's body began to tremble as he stared at his now bloody hands. It was almost a repeat of what had happened when the Vindice took her away.

"Tsuna she'll be okay." Yamamoto stated giving him a grin. Tsuna looked up at him before nodding a bit unsure.

"Hahi! Yukiko's here?" Haru cried out surprised.

"Ne ne can she show Lambo some more tricks?" Lambo cried out not realizing the seriousness everyone had. Gokudera angrily hit Lambo in the head.

"Not now Lambo. Yukiko-san is asleep." Kyoko replied grabbing Lambo.

"But Lambo wants to see her tricks!" He whined as he struggled to get out of the orange-haired girl's grip.

"Lambo stop it." Tsuna snapped. Lambo immediately went quiet as Kyoko and Haru stared at him surprised. Lambo stared at him before his eyes began to water.

"Baka-Tsuna!" He cried getting out of Kyoko's arms and hit Tsuna in the leg before running off.

"Lambo!" Haru and Kyoko cried out running after him with I-Pin following behind.

Gokudera and Yamamoto held back their tongue to say something. This was their first time to see Tsuna snap at Lambo. Even when he did annoying the things, Tsuna never snapped at him like that. Could this girl have that much effect on their friend?

My eyes blurred as I opened them. My throat felt dry and it hurt to move. But there was one thing I was certain of. I wasn't where the abandoned construction site was. Not only that but I could have sworn I saw everyone before I had passed out. But that's ridiculous..right?

"You're finally awake herbivore." A smooth baritone voice stated. I blinked a bit before my vision finally cleared out. Slowly I turned my head and my eyes widen as I saw who the voice belonged to.

It was an older version of Hibari. Could it be that I had stayed longer than three months at the prison and my body didn't grow? No that's impossible...but what else can explain this?

"It took you this long to wake up after those petty wounds. You're weaker than I took you for." He criticized. With some of my energy I sent him a glare but he passed it off like an annoying bug.

"Tomorrow you'll start you're training. If you're not there yet I'll bite you to death." He walked out of the room swiftly. I closed my eyes and opened them hoping htis was a dream. I mean how the hell does he think I'll be ready to train the next day. I'm freaking immobilized at the moment dammit.

"Tch that stupid guy always thinks he's better than everyone else." A soprano voice hissed with a tone of annoyance laced in with the words. I didn't bother turning my head because I knew that voice. It was the voice I heard before I saw everyone else and passed out.

"W-Where am I?" I croaked out. A figure appeared in front of me and a hand grabbed my chin. I looked up and stared at the silver-haired woman annoyed. She too was older than what I had last seen her.

She pried open my mouth and poured a bitter liquid into it. However before I could spit it out, she shut my mouth tight forcing me to drink the horrible fluid. When she let go I began to cough hysterically.

"This'll make you feel better. It won't heal the wounds completely but it'll help it a bit. Well you'll be able to get up and do stuff tomorrow at the least, but for now get some rest. You're going to need it when you train with that demon. Lal Mirch will be there as well so maybe she'll train you instead. Actually I think I'll go there tomorrow to make sure they don't overexert you. Lal Mirch is kind of a demon herself when it comes to training."

"Where the hell am I?" I demanded more than asked after my coughing subsided.

"Welcome to the future Yukiko. Ah someone's here. I'll go." She disappeared and sounds came from when she opened the door. Padded footsteps walked towards my bed and stopped from the opposite side I was facing.

"Yukiko."

I bit my lip. I knew that voice all too well. But why would he want to speak with me? Shouldn't he stay away and send me hateful glares for what I have done?

"Gomen." He stated swiftly. My eyes widen and I turned around despite the pain that struck me from the sudden movement.

"I should be the one saying sorry." I winced. Tsuna stared at me and I looked away from his eyes.

"I-I dragged you into my affairs. You were almost killed. Gokudera and Yamamoto were hurt. I...I did a lot of things. I ran away before we could really talk about it." I mumbled lightly unconsciously turning my gaze to him. His head was down making it hard for me to read his expression. His hands were clenched and trebmled.

"But you didn't even try to tell me! Do you know how much it hurt to know that the only person who never called me Dame-Tsuna became like that? That you didn't even try to tell me. Didn't we make a promise to tell each other everything?"

I bit my lip. I couldn't run away not now. I could only tell him.

"I was afraid that this would happen. I didn't want to tell you because you would hate me. You...you saved me."

"After I found out I was angry. I started to hate you but Momoko told me your story. I realized why you changed." His hands unclenched and he fell back into the chair, but his expression was still shadowed from me.

"Because after everything that happened with the mafia you still became my guardian. Naze? How could you become the one thing you hated? I don't understand that."

I shut my eyes tightly. Why exactly did I become a guardian? Why did I join the mafia? He should know.

"Tsuna gomen. I really did mess up. I know that and not telling you the truth didn't make anything better." I started relaxing a bit. "I...I gave myself up to the Vindice for that sole reason. I had to repent for what I had done. I couldn't drag you into the dark abyss known as Organization Orphan. I couldn't let them hurt you anymore. As for why I joined, it's because I owed you. You were why I didn't completely fall into the darkness."

Reborn leaned against the wall as he listened to every word his student and and guardian exchanged. Maybe now his student wouldn't be as distracted.

"It seems that finally both can get off what they have on their chest." Ryohei stated as he pushed himself away from the wall. The hitman baby glanced at him for a moment before pushing his fedora up.

"He's right Reborn. Maybe this is what they both need at the moment." Alba stated calmly. Reborn jumped onto her shoulder.

"Dame-Tsuna a good boss listens to what his guardians have to say before jumping to conclusions."

Okay so Tsuna, to me, is OOC. Do you think so?

Please review.
