Countdown

~ The Amusement Park ~

09 days before Shoichi transfers to Melone Base.

Byakuran's POV

A forest near the Gesso Mansion, 09:00 a.m.

"This is annoying because of this I have to waste precious time to spend with my Shou-chan." I am really pissed right now. Some pawns of the 10th Vongola Cloud Guardian got some important information about the Melone Base in Japan. As I walk to the interrogation room where the intruders where I thought in my head some ways to kill them brutally for making my sweet Shou-chan wait. We had planned to meet at the amusement park that I had recently bought. Of course I did not tell Shou-chan that I bought an amusement park. He would certainly get angry with me. We planned to meet at 9 but because of this emergency. So I told Shou-chan to wait at the amusement park. I will murder them (the intruders of course). I saw John standing at the front door and he bows to show respect as usual, the truth is I already know the reason why he is so loyal to me. Pity, that's the reason why, he is so loyal to me. I don't care anyways as long as he serves me at his best. I have to admit he is best at what he does. I need a person like him. Well as long as I don't do anything to his family he will never betray me. After bowing he tells me that there are five intruders, all of which are members of Hibari's information gatherer. I look at them through the one-way window of the interrogation room. "John, do they know everything?"

"Yes and no, Byakuran-sama." He said while also looking through the one-way window. He then continued. "Yes, because they have already sent the blueprint of the Melone Base to their headquarters and no, because they do not know who is the person in-charge and the people that will be working in the Melone Base. Shoichi-sama will be safe when he transfers to Melone Base." He looks at me with strong eyes. Really, he is the only person that I know who is loyal to me that is not afraid of me. I wish Shou-chan can be like that too. I wish he would not fear me but what can I do. I am fearsome, cruel, and ruthless. Any person as kind, weak, and pure hearted as my Shou-chan would fear me. I look at my watch; it was already 9:10. I have a brilliant idea to end this quick, I look at John with my as Shou-chan calls it murderous smile and said. "They have already sent the blueprints, nothing to worry about that as long as they are not Shou-chan they won't understand the blueprints. What's important is that they don't know about my Shou-chan. So as for the intruders let's give them a painful death shall we. As for how, since you are the one that caught them John, you will have the honor to choose how they die. As long as they will regret what they did (for making me tell Shou-chan to wait on our date that is) and of course it must be really painful. He bows to me once again and said. "If that is what you wish Byakuran-sama."

10:30 a.m., inside the amusement park.

I saw him sitting on a bench quietly fidgeting on his phone. "Shou-chan!" I called out his name. He looks at me and smiled. He was wearing a light brown sweater and ordinary jeans. He looks at me and smiled cutely. Shou-chan came to me and said. "Byakuran-san so what was the emergency about?" I smiled back at him and said. "It was nothing, just a minor delay of plans. Let's get going." I grabbed his hand and started walking towards the haunted house. As we walk Shou-chan ask me. "Byakuran-san, when I entered the amusement park, when they saw me. They let me in without paying and even though the line was long to the entrance of the Hall of Mirrors they let me in, instantly… what did you do Byakuran-san?" I stop dead in my tracks and I look at Shou-chan who was making the answer-me-or-ill-leave face. "Mou… Shou-chan. Why do you always observe everything and ask questions?"

"Byakuran-san, with you as my boss and you, being you, of course I'll observe everything you do." He looks at me with angry green eyes. I sigh. Shou-chan is the only person I know that can make me act like this. "Shou-chan, I am begging you. Please just enjoy this day with me. This is our date. Please." As I said it, I saw Shou-chan blushing to the max and he tried to hide it from me by turning his face way from me. My Shou-chan is so cute. I smiled. "I saw that Shou-chan, don't need to be shy. Now let's go."

"What are we going to do first Byakuran-san?" Shou-chan ask and I look at him and grinned. "Well Shou-chan" I said then pointed at the scariest place in the amusement park. "We are going to enter the haunted house first." I felt Shou-chan hand slipped and the next thing I saw him running fast. "Shou-chan?" I ran after Shou-chan and caught him by grabbing his right hand. "Shou-chan don't tell me that you still are scared of haunted houses."

"I am not scared… I'm terrified. You know well that I have a trauma of haunted houses." Shou-chan was crying.

"But Shou-chan, I thought you got over it when we were still in school." I held his left hand and felt both of them shaking. Shou-chan stared at me angrily.

"Byakuran-san this is final. I will not enter the haunted house. We can ride anything; I won't complain just not the haunted house." I thought about what Shou-chan said. This is our date and making Shou-chan angry would ruin this. Especially that the time is nearing when Shou-chan will transfer to Melone Base. So I just decided to try the rides that don't involve haunted houses. We tried the roller coaster first, and expectedly Shou-chan almost vomit, then we tried the bumper cars and I just found out that Shou-chan has no talent in driving at all after that we entered a maze and almost got lost, after that we entered the mini museum of the amusement park and so we tried all the rides in the amusement park, we also ate lunch together and because we really had fun we didn't notice that the sun was setting. We decided to eat some snack first and try one more ride. The ferries wheel, we entered the gondola and Shou-chan sat on the other side. As the ferries wheel started to rotate, my mind wandered to the day Shou-chan would leave for Melone Base. I could not help but tell my sweet Shou-chan this question, even though I already know the answer. "Shou-chan" I began. "Will you betray me?" I look at Shou-chan smiling. I saw Shou-chan green eyes trembling with fear. His mouth was about to say something but it closed. I know that Shou-chan felt responsible for the destruction of worlds. Yes, Shou-chan was the reason why my powers awakened but it was my decision to rule over every boring world. Those people who accused my Shou-chan to be the one responsible should actually be thankful. When I met Shou-chan my boring life became fun with Shou-chan always creating games and all. It postponed my plan of world domination. The other me in the parallel worlds told me that this is the only world remaining that is still not conquered by me. I ask them why and they told me that the reason is because this is the only world that my Shou-chan met the 10th Vongola Boss Tsunayoshi Sawada. I hate it; it makes me want to kill thousands of people even though I already did it.

"I…" Shou-chan whispered softly. "I… I… I won't betray you Byakuran-san" He says quietly. I look at the small window of the gondola and we were already at the top. The scenery was beautiful how the sun dyed the city yellow-orange. I look at Shou-chan and he was so cute, beautiful and so fragile at that time, how the setting sun color; colored the face of my Shou-chan, how his green eyes were shining and how Shou-chan red hair mixed with the color of yellow-orange and how his hair move by the wind. Shou-chan is mine.

"Byakuran-san" Shou-chan called softly to me. "Can I also ask you something?" His voice was shaking.

I stared at Shou-chan for a while and notice that he was staring at me strongly. It must be serious for Shou-chan to act this way. I smiled. "Sure, Shou-chan ask anything." Shou-chan was fidgeting with his finger. So cute.

"So Byakuran-san, if you can undo something in your life what would you want it to be?"

"Hmm.. for me.. nothing I don't want to undo anything in my life." I smiled at him, but there is one thing I really want to undo but it is not in my life. I want to undo the moment that Shou-chan met Tsunayoshi Sawada. "What about you Shou-chan? Do you want to undo something in your life?"

"Byakuran-san for me, there are many moments that I want to undo but…" Shou-chan was tearing up. He tried to wipe it first with his hands. "...but if I undo this moments I might lose the person I really love." I held both of Shou-chan's hands and kissed them. I wiped Shou-chan's falling tears and caressed his cheeks and planted a small kiss on his forehead. "Don't cry Shou-chan. I'm sorry for making you answer." Shou-chan took his handkerchief and wipes the remaining tears on his eyes. "Shall we go home now Shou-chan?" I ask.

"Yeah, we should. You have another meeting tomorrow Byakuran-san." Shou-chan smiled cutely. I signaled the operator to let us down. We left the amusement park and I told Shou-chan that we should walk for a little while before getting in the car and he agreed. We walk while holding hands since there were no people around because I made sure to instruct the guards that at this time, there should be no people around the amusement park. As we walk I ask Shou-chan. "Did you have fun Shou-chan?" I saw Shou-chan smile and giggle a bit. Shou-chan then turned to me and said while smiling. "Yeah, I had fun Byakuran-san. What about you?"

"If you had fun then of course I had fun, my sweet Shou-chan." I kissed Shou-chan on the lips deeply.

(AN: Wahhh… that is so sweet. So below I will write a suspense paragraph in my point of view. The timeline when it happened is after the date of Shou-chan and Byakuran-san.)

In the headquarters, a phone that is hidden vibrates in the middle of the night. Someone was calling Shoichi. He was in the showers humming, he was glad that the date he had with Byakuran was happy and peaceful just like they were still in school. He got out of the shower wearing his pajamas, this is actually the first time that he did not past out because of work. He then noticed the hidden phone vibrating. Shoichi went to his laptop and hack the cameras around his room and turned them off. He then goes to the vibrating phone to see who was calling him. He saw who it was and his happy mood turned sad in moments. He answers the phone. They talk silently but intensely, tears were appearing in Shoichi's eyes. Their conversation has an aura of betrayal, sadness, anger, and regret.

"You better not fail Irie Shoichi, If the plan does not work well and he really dies and this was all for nothing because of you. I swear I will kill you myself. You better be ready for what will happen." A man with a deep voice said full with anger.

Silently Shoichi replies. "I know." His voice is shaking. "I 'm already ready, I know of the consequences, if the plan fails. I will be in Japan in nine days and the device won't get discovered in Melone Base, no one but me knows of its existence. I'm already preparing the final stages for the bullet. He won't die; he will just be in a deep sleep." Shoichi then cuts the call. He put the phone on his table that is full of papers from contracts to blueprints. He sat on his bed crying silently while saying. "I'm sorry Byakuran-san I'm so sorry."
