It's because she does stupid stuff like this, that her body takes the consequences. It's because she never thinks about herself, does she suffer like this. Because she is an idiot.

Alba sighed to herself soaking the rag with the bloody water. She twisted it before gently placing it on Yukiko's back. She rubbed on the wound lightly pausing when the girl moved a little bit.

"Idiot." Alba whispered lightly pushing away the bangs on Yukiko's face. "You're a real idiot."

A wince was her reply when Yukiko pressed against her wounded arm on accident. The sleeping girl groaned before applying the pressure onto her other arm.

Alba sighed placing the rag into the tainted water bowl and grabbed the medicine. She applied the ointment on the back before getting the bandages. Carefully she used one hand to prop up Yukiko's stomach as she used the other to wrap the bandage around.

She leaned back against the chair she was on letting out a big sigh of relief and exhaustion.

"Thank you." A voice whispered softly. Alba straightened up and looked at the cause of the voice.

Yukiko looked up at her weakly with a small smile of gratitude.

"Only when it's us you show what's really wrong. Ever since what happened two nights ago, your flames have been low." Alba stated calmly. Yukiko stared at her blankly.

"I'll live." She replied struggling to get up. A whimper came from her when she managed to actually get up. Her face was twisted in pain as she placed her shirt on.

"Don't do that you idiot!" Alba said sharply. Yukiko shook her head slowly.

"Gomen. I fell asleep as you attended to my wounds." She ignored Alba and let her head fall back. Pain shot through her body, but she ignored it along with the piercing glare she was receiving.

"You shouldn't be moving. Your wounds aren't healed."

Yukiko opened her mouth to retort but a loud alarm cut me off. Yukiko stood up quickly grabbing the ear piece and box weapons that were on her drawer. Alba was already out the door with the black haired girl not to far off behind.

They met with Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Tsuna in the halls.

"What do you think is going on?" Tsuna asked when he he saw the two.

"They're starting the operation." Alba replied running off. Everyone else ran after her.

"It's too soon! This isn't what we planned." Tsuna cried out.

"It's an enemy raid." Reborn's voice came out from the ear piece. Yukiko ran a bit faster to catch up with Alba as Reborn explained what was happening.

"Annerie." Yukiko whispered lowly. The assassin glanced at her before slowing down a bit. She didn't want damage the young girl more than she already was. "Don't tell anyone."

Alba stopped and looked back at everyone. She barely noticed that they too had stopped. She glanced at Yukiko as she moved back to where everyone else was.

What a fool she had for a friend.

"They should have left someone behind for communication purposes." Irie stated lowly before turning back to look at the screen.

"Even though the White Spell are there as well, I wondered what they are doing." Iris commented. Akane rolled her eyes and continued to type into the computer furiously.

"This is an operation to crush the enemy's core. Don't be impatient." Baishana replied wisely. Akane begrudgingly agreed with the White Spell. As much as she disliked the man, he was right. Impatience leads to flaws which could ultimately lead to your own death.

"Encryption?" Akane whispered to herself as random numbers and words rapidly began to appear on her computer screen. A small smirk crawled onto her face as she began to think of ways to decode the encryption.

"In any case, try to restore communication rapidly!" Irie commanded. Akane turned her head slightly at him before look back at the encrypted code that tempted her.

Akane cracked her fingers before typing away. She would listen to his command, once she was done with this encryption. It wasn't the difficulty of it, but more of the symbol that the numbers had made. The symbol that was forever imprinted into her skin.

There was flaw in the Millefiore's plan. It was plain as anyone could see. They left the Melone Base completely open.

"Let's go." Lal Mirch ordered running. We followed after her.

"Good thing no one was around." Ryohei commented. I mentally agreed with him as Gokudera and Yamamato voiced their own thoughts.

"Stop talking! Move quickly." Lal Mirch commanded. I sighed softly and ran a bit faster.

We ran into the underground parking lot. Pain erupted through my stomach and by reaction I placed my hand there.

"Daijabou?" Ryohei asked a bit loudly after we stopped making the others look at us. Alba frowned at me and crossed her arms with a what-are-you-going-to-do look on her face.

"I'm fine." I said reassuringly. Tsuna gave me a doubtful look as the others took in the lie. Alba's eyes narrowed at me and she made her way to me.

"Where's the power genorator?" Tsuna looked around. Alba snatched up the hand was holding my stomach and glared at me.

"Does this look fine to you?" She hissed lowly at the same time Ryohei said something about his intuition. I stared at blood covered hand before pulling it away from her grasp. I was glad that the shirt I was wearing was black or else the blood would have shown through.

"Quiet! I'm conforming it now." Lal Mirch said.

"You shouldn't have come here in the first place. You are still wounded." Alba growled into my ear. My hands clenched and I looked at her straight in the eyes.

"I came here to help my friends. Whether it be on my death bed or not, I will never abandon them because of some flesh wound." I snapped pushing her away from me.

"Yukiko?" Tsuna whispered lightly. I turned away from Alba and looked at him. He stared at me worriedly.

I opened my mouth to say something, but someone cut me off. I looked towards the direction and saw Bianchi. We ran towards her.

"I came to see you off." She stated. I looked at her surprised before something collided with my stomach. I bit my lip so as not to make a noise.

"If you want to live to at least be with your friends, don't let your wound bleed out so freely. Your making a trail." Alba said nonchalantly. I smiled a little when I noticed what she had given me.

"You can go from the duct in here." She pointed behind her.

"Okay let's go." Lal Mirch ordered going the way Bianchi said. We followed after quickly and I stuffed what Alba gave to me into my pocket. I stopped and turned around to look at Bianchi.

"Take care." I smiled at her before going inside the duct. I climbed after Gokudera and let him and Yamamoto go ahead of me. I crawled after them glad that I made sure I was the last one. I didn't need them to see the blood that could have possible leaked out.

I let them get ahead of me before pulling up my shirt. It was bit crowded in the duct but there was enough room for me to take off my bandages. I winced at the sight of the deep cut before taking out the bandages Alba had gave me. Carefully I wound it around before tightening it.

A relieved sigh came out from my mouth and I began to crawl after everyone else. I barely made it in time to see them going left.

"Anything from the Assault Units?" Irie asked.

"There hasn't been any connection yet." One of the Cervello replied. Irie frowned and scanned the room.

"Akane." He called out to one of the computer specialists. The blue haired girl paid him no mind as she sat frozen in her seat. "Akane!" He said more forcefully making her jump up.

"H-Hai Irie-sama?" She stumbled lightly turning to look at him.

"Have you managed to repair the connection to an extent?" He asked. Akane made sure to take a step so as to not let him see what she had decoded.

"Iie. I'm still working on it." She replied. Irie clenched his hands angrily.

"What the hell are they doing?" He asked glaring at the ground. Akane sat back down quickly and looked back at her computer screen.

"Maybe they all got killed." Iris suggested coldly.

"Some comrades you bunch are." Akane retorted under her breath as she scanned the documents that were found from the encryption. What had surprised her was from who it was. The one who had came known as Death's Lullaby throughout the the mafia.

"Inform every member of the situation." Irie ordered. "Use radars, sensors, or any other means necessary to find out the situation with the Vongola hideout."

Akane smirked to herself as she saved the documents on a flash drive before inputting a certain bug. She hit enter and sat back to watch her work.

The computer screens began to flicker before turning a bright blue.

"What is this?" Irie demanded as Akane pretended to type onto the computer.

"It's a virus." Someone called out. Akane's smirk widen before realizing that Irie had called her name.

"What kind of virus is this?" He asked moving quickly to her computer.

"It's an all-kill virus Irie-sama. Everything it touches is destroyed." She replied inwardly satisfied at how one virus could do so much damage.

"Then stop it!" He ordered. Akane huffed to herself silently and willed herself to kill off her own creation. She wouldn't have done so if the Sun Funeral Wreath wasn't by her.

"I'll save whatever I can." She said typing at a high speed. Finally all the computer screens turned pitch black before rebooting up.

"We'll have to start over at reviving the connection with the Assualt Unit." Irie hit the desk angrily trying to figure out how the virus managed to slip past the security walls.

"Find the source." He ordered turning around to leave.

"Then I will take my leave." Akane stated making him freeze. "My computer is more adapt to this due to my...experience."

Irie turned and looked back at her nervously. Akane stared him down willing him to tell her no. Much to her satisfaction he nodded in agreement.

What a fool he was for believing her. Didn't he know that he should never trust those in the mafia?

"Infrared sensors." Lal Mirch stated after suddenly stopping. "If we get spotted by these, those up ahead will be triggered. Just like training we have limited time to go through."

"Lal Mirch, Alba and I won't make it during that time." I called out.

"Why not?" Tsuna asked.

"The Deco-filtered Giannini invented. It'll emit a special beam that can stop infrared light, but it only lasts for five seconds." Lal Mirch explained.

"There's too many of us to make it in time. It doesn't matter how fast one can go, we will still get caught in it setting off the lasers up ahead."

"But how will you guys make it?" Tsuna called out worriedly. I smiled a bit.

"Have you forgotten that I'm an ex member of one of the deadliest organizations when it was still together? Before, I lived for these kinds of situations. Don't worry about me."

"I'm a highly skilled assassin; mere lasers are kid play to me." Alba voiced in.

"We'll leave the rest up to you then." Lal Mirch stated before I heard a small thump. "Now!"

Everyone crawled at a fast pace and Ryohei barely made it in time before the sensors picked up again. I grinned at them giving a thumbs up as Alba huffed softly.

"It can't be! The lasers are activating!" Lal Mirch exclaimed wiping my grin away.

"Go back?" Ryohei looked back at us.

"There's no time! You're going to have try and dodge them!" I yelled out.

A bright green light filled the duct making my eyes widen. Metal clashing with metal echoed through my ears as I felt myself falling. I turned my body quickly landing on my right leg painfully.

"Y-your heavy." Tsuna mumbled painfully. Gokudera jumped up quickly and Yamamoto moved off Tsuna.

"Are you okay Tsuna?" I asked softly. Tsuna lifted his head mumbling that he was somehow. I let out a small chuckle before biting my lip.

"But that was dangerous." Gokudera stated looking up. Alba grabbed me by my arm and lifted me up. I leaned against her slightly, trying not to put pressure on my right leg.

"But why? We didn't touch the infrared light at all?" Lal Mirch asked.

"A switch." I replied making them look at me. "Someone could have controlled it with a switch. We had those back at the many warehouses we had stayed in."

"But who would have turned the switch on?" Ryohei asked.

A rough laugh came taking our attention. A man appeared holding a small remote. He wore a type of weapon in his shoulders and had a Mohawk. The guy was huge and I mean huge.

"That was me. I thought it was a mole, but it turned out to be some brats."

"Huh? Brats?"

He peered down at us with a cocky grin. "If I remember correctly, a little bird told me that the Vongola Tenth's group was still a bunch of brats. But those guys are under attack, being beaten to a pulp right about now. You can't be them."

I narrowed my eyes at him, pushing myself away from Alba. He didn't know who we were and was too dumb enough to figure it out. So the saying is true about big men. All brawns but no brains.

"You must be ordinary folk." He sounded proud for thinking he discovered us out.

"Eh? Ordinary folk?" Tsuna questioned.

"Well that's not wrong." Yamamoto replied unsure.

"It seems his head doesn't work so well." Ryohei put it in.

"It's the muscles. They're suffocating his brain." Alba snickered lightly.

"Quiet, we might be able to trick him." Gokudera ordered. I frowned. Even if the guy doesn't use his brain, that doesn't mean he would be easy to trick.

"Thanks to you I get to try out my new weapon that just arrived!" He brought up his hand and lightning flames came out from his ring. He placed it in a black box that was attached to his weapon. "To test the effect of a weapon, it's best to do so on live humans!"

"Tch didn't know we were lab rats." I commented as the flame began to build up.

"Bye!" He exclaimed shooting out the flame.

Something covered us taking the blast. Smoke filled everywhere as the big guy talked to himself about something.

"Who did that?" Yamamoto asked. Everyone began to say they didn't.

"That was me." Gokudera stated proudly. The big guy stared at us surprised.

"How'd you do that?" Yamamato asked turning to Gokudera. Gokudera smirked cockily.

"I can't let the Baseball-Nut be the only cool one."

"Oh if that's the case I'll join too." I grinned pulling a charm off my bracelet.

"Hmph what's that going to do?" Gokudera narrowed his eyes at me. I glared back tossing the charm up.

"Don't start with me Cancer." I hissed as the charm turned into my baton. I caught with my right hand spinning it. Tsuna's eyes widened when he saw it and I turned around to face the guy.

"Tch how pathetic." I started looking him up and down. "You're spent all your time to build up your muscles. Ever try reading book? Or better yet do you even know what a book is?"

"A-Are you calling me dumb!" He sputtered out.

"No I was just insulting you for no reason and implying something that wasn't there." I said sarcastically making him even more mad.

"You don't even know anything about me!" He exclaimed bringing out a box weapon. He inserted his flame inside. "I'll blow you all to nothing! With this Lancia Elettrica the great Dendro-sama is holding!" A lightning covered lance was in his hands.

"This guy is the one with the title of Arattacco, Dendro Chilum of the Heavy Assault Infantry." Ryohei stated.

"Ala is that so?" I mused knowing what the name had meant. "It makes it a bit more interesting."

He glared at me. "Strife, Corpo Elettroshock!" After a moment he let out, "Have you finally blown up now?"

"Actually this is pretty weak." I replied using the baton as a shield. His eyes widen as the smoke began to clear.

I twisted my baton pushing the lance up. Dendro growled and tried to pull his lance away, but I twisted my body and the baton quickly making it to where the lance was trapped between us. The lightning flames nicked at my face and neck.

"We don't have time for you." I hissed lowly. I kicked the lance up after letting the baton go and quickly jabbed it into his stomach. Blood came out of his mouth and he flew back a bit.

"Yukiko!" Tsuna called out. I looked back at him and nodded.

"How about a nice trick?" I questioned darkly clasping my hands together so the baton was between them. The baton disappeared and I pulled my hands away to reveal a card deck.

"Wealth is on your way." I mumbled showing him the Ace of Diamonds. I threw it quickly and smirked when it penetrated his weapon on his shoulders. I threw more rapidly destroying the machine.

"Yukiko stand back." Tsuna ordered. I turned around to see him in his Hyper Mode. I frowned as we stared at each other. He wanted to take over. His eyes looked at my stomach making me know that he knew.

"Hai." I slinked back with the group as Dendro stood up angry. He glared at me before running straight at me.

"Corpo Elettroshock!"

Tsuna grabbed his lance tightening his grip when he tried to pull it out. Dendro stared wide eyed before smirking. He pushed the lance only to have it split apart.

"Why can't I push him back?" He exclaimed angrily.

"It must be because of the Flame he has on the hand before him." Yamamoto pointed out. I stared at the barely visible orange flame that was being produced from Tsuna's free hand.

"Yes, that Flame's superb! Just like Jyudaime!" Gokudera stated proudly.

"It's interesting. A fFame being used as a force of balance." I smirked crossing my arms. "A smart move indeed Tsuna"

Akane pulled on her gloves and pulled her hair into a high ponytail. She reached down and grabbed the white laptop.

"They manage to turn the attack to their advantage." She mused lightly to herself as she stared at the computer screen. She watched with anxious eagerness as she saw the Decimo squash Dendro like he was a mere fly.

"Seems like no one hasn't noticed yet. I hope your ready for a family reunion Yukiko."

well that's it guys! hoped you liked it!

Please review! No really please review! I need to know if I'm just writing nonsense or someone out there in this big vast world is actually reading this.

Arigatou!
