"What is this big news, Byakuran?" I asked, clearly sick and tired of being called here again.

"We found the Mist Vongola ring." He smiled, almost like a celebratory dance of his own.

This stunned me. How did they find it? It's destroyed!

"I thought the Vongola family destroyed their rings." I reminded.

"They did. However, they returned from the past." He smiled.

Wait. They're back? That means if the rings came from the past, so did their owners. But…. Didn't Tsuna have Reborn as a tutor? Does this mean Reborn's back too? This might be good news after all.

"You certainly look deep in thought." Byakuran observed, "Care to share?"

"It's just…" I started, "My sister. My sister means more to me than my loyalty to the Arcobaleno. If you guys found her, then she's… Dead." I shuttered at the thought.

Byakuran frowned, "She got away with the ring."

I was happy. But I know I'm staring at my boss, and I can't show happiness for what he wanted and he lost it, "I see."

Byakuran smiled, "That is all."

I nodded, then left. Only to bump right back into Leonardo.

"Ah, sorry again." I apologized.

"Nah, it's fine." He smiled, "I was eaves dropping, and you said your sister was more important to you than the Arcobaleno."

"Yes, I did indeed say that," I nodded with a slight hint of curiosity.

"So, why did you leave your sister?" he asked.

Now that he mentions it, that is a good question, "I left because…"

There was a brief moment of silence.

"Well, whatever your answer, I got to keep going. Later!" he did his trademark smile and left.

But, why did I leave my sister?

*~Line~*

I paused for a moment when I got back to my room. I thought long and hard on my answer. All I had to fall back on was that Tsuna gave me his word that he would take care of Chrome, and Chrome told me I should help others. Which, all-in-all, is a good enough excuse. But, is it really what I wanted?

I thought back to how many people I helped; such as Yuni, CEDEF, all my odd job clients, and myself. "Perhaps this is what I wanted."

*~Line~*

I checked the time, it was about six-thirty in the evening. I got up and worked my way to the kitchen, which was empty.

"Huh. It's usually filled with other captains." I raised an eyebrow. This is definitely unusual.

A door opened behind me. I turned around.

It was Yuni.

I smiled in my head, and I never forgot how she helped me when I first met her. But, she was still in her zombie-emptyness mode. That memory was quickly killed.

"Yuni," I started, "Where is everyone?"

Well, it was worth a try. Like usual, she didn't answer. Damn. That means the only person who can give me an answer is Byakuran.
