A/N: hey guys! Its been a tiring week but I bring you chapter 9!

Okay, i've been wondering if the jumping around in characters is confusing. I haven't had complaints so that's good. I'm hoping it hasn't since everything contributes to the story and moves the plot along. Characters are being introduced slowly and I'm squeezing them in slowly. Trust me, I'm having a bit of trouble with that. Your reviews and constant alerts and faces make me move the story along. This chapter was easier to write and the next will be updated soon

Updates will end up being weekly. Schools an ass.

He was actually alone.

He heaved a sigh of relief while leaning against a wall. After being followed for almost two months already, he managed to get free. Ieyasu Sawada smiled to himself before crossing and working his way into the crowd. Caelum and Reborn were busy with something and Colonello and Lal had finished up his training an hour ago.

He was lucky he was still able to walk.

Gokudera had ran into some trouble after meeting Bianchi who was staying at Ieyasu's house and had passed out. Takeshi was tending to some family business and had a doctor appointment. Lambo was playing with Takuto and he was currently free from all forms of people.

He was going to enjoy his day.

Walking he bumped into a girl making him stutter an apology before smiling. The girl was small and had long purple colored hair. What caught his attention were her wide purple colored eyes. The girl was adorable.

"I'm sorry." He told her honestly as a pink blush covered her face. She was wearing a white colored dress and a purple colored cat was in her arms. She nodded faintly before turning away and walking away. He stared at her leave before feeling something tingling in the back of his head.

He could feel a headache coming as a memory tried to make itself known. He growled in annoyance not wanting to think of those dreams in the middle of the day he was supposed to have peace.

But when the pounding of his head continued he turned around and chased after the girl.

"Hey! Wait up!" The girl looked back in surprise as he stopped in front of her. "I know its weird to ask, but by any chance have we met?"

The girl blushed deeply as she shook her head. Ieyasu nodded in understanding before sighing.

"Sorry to waste your time. My name is Ieyasu." She stared at the floor clenching the cat to her chest closely before looking up with soft eyes.

"N-Nagi. My name is N-Nagi." She whispered as he gave her a wide smile.

"Its nice to meet you Nagi!"

She managed a small smile but gasped as the cat in her arms ran free and jumped into the street.

"K-Ken!" She screamed chasing after it.

"H-hey! Wait!" Ieyasu cried as she descended into the street.

In those next few seconds Ieyasu swore he lost a shred of sanity.

A car came down the street and swerved narrowly missing the cat but ended up hitting the girl completely. The silence after the impact could only be described as eternity for Ieyasu. But when a high pitched scream reached his ears he started running towards the front the car that had crashed into the pole.

"Nagi! Nagi!"

He didn't have to look far when he caught sight of the girls body crushed under the car. The blood had seeped into the white dress she had been wearing and her face was as pale as a sheet.

"N-Nagi, stay awake for me okay?" He was on his knees trying to keep himself from panicking. The car had done a lot of damage to her torso and she was bleeding heavily from her eye. He removed his jacket and quickly placed it on her torso trying to stop the blood.

He reached for her hand when he saw the purple eye gaze at him. It was glazed over and he knew death was going to claim her soon.

"Nagi, stay awake for me, okay? Just stay awake for a little while longer and everything will be okay."

The girl gave a shaky smile but gripped the hand as tightly as she could. He stared down at the blood sinking into his pants and took in a shaky breath.

It was only two seconds later that the sound of an ambulance greeted him.

Tsuna lowered the gun when he heard the familiar click of reborn's gun.

"Too slow, Tsuna. Lal was right. You are getting lazy."

The brunet frowned as he faced the hitman who was casually pointing the gun at his forehead. He knew he'd never be as good as Reborn. The hitman had perfect aim and even if he didn't try he'd hit his mark.

Tsuna had good aim but he wasn't perfect and he'd never compare to Reborn. He remembered being awestruck by Reborn when he was a child. Skull had been depressed for two weeks when Tsuna declared to be as good as Reborn.

"I think you need to be put into training again." A voice said gruffly from the doorway of the training room they were in. Lal had her arms crossed and was walking over a smirk on her face.

"Training? Aw come on..." Tsuna whined while clicking the safety on his gun and took out the bullets.

"No, I think you'd do good against Ieyasu when we finish up his training tomorrow." The blue haired lady said as she reached forward and tugged Tsuna to her body and ran her hands through his brown locks. Tsuna was only wearing a black tank top with regular jeans, the clam necklace hanging around his neck loosely.

"Training? What are you talking about?"

Reborn took this chance to let Leon relax to his regular form and place the chameleon on his fedora. "Since Xanxus is fighting for a spot as Decimo, its likely he'll come to Japan in search of Ieyasu. We need to prepare Ieyasu for that encounter. We decided you'd be best at being his sparing partner."

Tsuna placed the gun into the hoister while giving Reborn a serious look.

"You want me to be his sparing partner? Will he be in hyper dying will mode or not? I'll need to prepare myself if its in hyper dying will mode." The brunet said before nuzzling into Lal's hands and then smiling at her as she released him.

"Dying will mode." Reborn said before looking at the door where Colonello was standing his eyes closed.

"Oh, what's this? Did you finish your job?" Lal asked turning to her blonde partner. Instead of reacting to the jab Colonello tossed Tsuna phone and gave a serious look to the brunet.

"You got a message. Ieyasu wants you to meet him."

Tsuna was about to tell Colonello to not go through his messages until he realized what Ieyasu had said. He sent a worried gaze to Reborn before taking off into a sprint.

Hey, I'm at the hospital and I really need your help.

Ieyasu had been staring at his hands for what seemed like hours until the sound of running footsteps made him look up. Caelum was running over not at all listening to the head nurse who was screeching at him to stop.

To his surprise, Lal, Colonello, and Reborn were chasing after him.

Caelum put his hands on the blonde shoulders and jerked him back in forth as he tried to relax his breathing.

"I didn't think you'd bring the whole crew." Ieyasu said while staring at the older hitmen(and woman) in question. Reborn pushed his fedora up to gaze at Ieyasu with serious black eyes.

"Dear god, hey! Are you okay?" Colonello asked while coming up next to reborn. Lal was staring at him with the same slightly worried eyes. Ieyasu took this chance to stare at his clothes and hands again.

He hadn't had the chance to change or even wash his hands. He was pretty sure he looked like a mass murderer. Something jabbed in his head bringing back painful memories of the last time he had seen so much blood.

To his surprise Caelum had pulled him forward snapping him out of a memory he didn't want to remember.

"It's not mine. There was an accident... And this girl... She... She chased after her cat and the car..." He broke off as he remembered the girls innocent purple eyes. He covered his face with his hands and took in a shaky breath.

Could he have saved her?

He could have grabbed Nagi's arm and stopped her from crossing the street. Nagi could still be at her house doing whatever she did if he had stopped her.

"I couldn't stop her. And she got hit... I-"

"N-Not..."

He froze before lowering his hands slightly to stare at Caelum who was looking at him seriously.

"I-It's... It's n-not... Y-your fault..." Caelum whispered softly a soft blush on his cheeks. The hands on Ieyasu's shoulders clenched slightly as Caelum took a deep breath. "Y-you couldn't stop her from running. Its not your fault, Ieyasu."

Ieyasu was certain if he didn't have an image to maintain he would have cried.

"Nagi?" A voice called out making the group look up at the doctor who exited the intensive care unit. Ieyasu got up carefully feeling a little dizzy as Caelum gripped his arm in support walking them over to the doctor. The old man smiled at them kindly before he sighed.

"We managed to get her into a safer area but the girl's organs weren't in any shape to be saved. Her eye is also beyond repair. If a family member donates organs she can be saved. But at this rate she isn't going to make it into tomorrow."

Ieyasu's stomach dropped to his feet. Nagi wasn't going to make it. He wasn't the girls family and even if he could give the organs he didn't know the girl enough to get to accept. She was going to die. There was a sigh from behind them making the group look at the couple who were behind Ieyasu and Caelum.

Reborn, Colonello and Lal were watching from a distance.

"Is there really nothing else?" The older man asked. Ieyasu looked at them in confusion.

"I'm Nagi's mother and this is her father." The woman said politely.

"Father? Don't start dragging me into this woman." The man bit out sharply as an irritated gaze fell on the woman's face. Ieyasu felt a swirl of emotions gazing at the couple.

If these were her parents, would they save her?

"You're her parents? W-will you save her?" The blonde asked a hopeful feeling that small feeling burst through his chest.

It was all shattered at the grimace on Nagi's mothers face.

"That child was always a strange one. She never made any friends. I never felt like her mother for all the years she's been at the house!"

That hope was quickly turning into anger.

"Quiet, she might hear you." The other man said to his wife. She brushed off her complaints while pinning Ieyasu down with a glare.

"Does it matter? I doubt you want to give in any organs, you big brute. Weren't you telling me just last week Nagi would fetch a good price at that whore house in the yakuza?"

Ieyasu's hands clenched into fists. How could they call themselves parents?

This was... This was just cruel!

The older male blushed while glaring at his wife. "Don't start that shit! You're the one who wanted her to begin with! Your damn brother brought her to us! That girl is not my child!"

"What? Do you think I wanted to bring her in? If it wasn't for my brother you'd be falling behind in debt! That girl makes enough money cleaning in that skimpy outfit-!"

Ieyasu was reaching his breaking point until a loud slap was heard and the woman was left stuttering and clutching her cheek.

Lal stood tall and proud in front of Nagi's mother her glare making everyone in the room step back. The doctor looked completely apalled but wasn't making a move to stop the angry ex-COMSUBIN member.

"I've heard enough out of you, you bitch! There's a girl dying in the other room and all you can think about is yourself! People like you make me sick!" Lal was furious and if it wasn't for Colonello who grabbed her by the waist Ieyasu was certain she would have killed the older lady.

"Serves you right." Nagi's father muttered from the side. Caelum had grabbed Ieyasu to hold him back from beating the crap out of the man.

To everyone's surprise the man was punched in the face courtesy of Reborn.

"Don't get me wrong. I don't have a single idea who Nagi is. But it would be troublesome if my student kicked your face in and yes, I mean both of you." The hitman said calmly while flexing his wrist and stared at Caelum and Ieyasu with knowing eyes.

The doctor smiled cheerfully before clapping his hands.

"Now that that's all sorted out, get the hell out of my hospital." The old man said giving a pointed glare to the couple laying on the floor. Once the offending couple was gone the doctor put a hand on Ieyasu's shoulder and smiled.

"I'm sorry about Nagi. If there was something I could do, I'd do it. The least I can do for you is to visit her. I'll try putting her on the list of organ donors but by the time we would receive a shipment, she'll most likely be dead." He said giving a sympathetic smile. Ieyasu couldn't find it in him to smile.

He felt exhausted.

"I'd like to see her." With a nod the doctor had opened the door and let the two teenagers inside. Nagi looked horrible with wires and tubes on every inch of her body. Ieyasu felt the same jabbing in his head as he took a shaky breath and fell to his knees beside her bed. Caelum silently stood beside him before looking at the girl curiously.

"I'm sorry Nagi. I wish I had known you better. I could have helped you out." Ieyasu said honestly. Caelum reached forward to touch the girls hand. When he came into contact with her he immediately jerked back making Ieyasu look at him curiously. Caelum shook his head slightly before Ieyasu looked back into the girls face and sighed.

"Nagi."

The older woman shook back in fear as the scythe was pressed to her throat sharply.

"My dear sister, I brought you back dear Nagi because you asked for her and you shun her. Ah, but not only that. You seem to have lost another something I entrusted to you."

The lady paled at the man in front of her as she took a shaky breath.

"Oi, that's enough. Are you going to see her or not?" A voice said said with an annoyed edge to it as the man lowered his scythe slightly.

"This is the last time you will ever hear of me and the girl. If I find you anywhere my niece and nephew I won't hesitate to kill you." With a final glare the man let his scythe dissolve into mist before turning to follow his annoying colleague.

"Family reunions, cute things aren't they, Daemon?"

The purple haired man growled at the other before continuing his walk down the hall in a quick walk.

"G, if you want to die, continue talking." He said in a fake sweet voice as the pink haired male smirked in response his red eyes giving him a smug look.

"Or should I say Gabriel, such a sweet name." Daemon teased as G shot him a scathing look. The illusionist reached the intensive care unit and walking to the door where an old man was currently walking out of.

"Is that Nagi Dokuro's room?" He asked as the elder male smiled sadly.

"Yes, and who might you be?" The doctor asked kindly while taking in the similar looks. Daemon frowned but answered the question anyways.

"I'm Daemon Rokudo, her uncle. How is she?" The doctor sighed wearily and gestured for them to enter the room.

"She is missing a few organs and she won't make it into tomorrow morning. I'm sorry. There isn't anything I could do without a donor."

Daemon frowned and rubbed him temples. "I can't donate. I have the wrong blood type." He muttered before he took in the glance of his broken niece. He took off one of his gloves and placed a hand on the girls forehead the frown on his face deepening.

"I'm sorry." The doctor repeated. Daemon sighed and stared at the doctor. "Give me a list of the organs missing and G will escort you out."

The man blinked in surprise as G glowered at Daemon. "I'm not your fucking servant, alright? What are you going to do anyways?"

Daemon pursed his lips before leaning over to kiss the girls forehead.

"I'm going to save her."

Tsuna stared up at the wide blue sky before feeling a frown tug on his lips.

Where on earth was he?

He sat up and looked around the grassy room in confusion. Before he could stand a familiar laugh echoed from behind him. He whirled around and met the amused mismatched gaze of Mukuro.

"Mukuro? Didn't you have enough fun stalking my dreams?" Tsuna said with a frown while crossing his legs and looking at the older illusionist.

"Don't be ridiculous, Tsunayoshi! You were the one who sought me out." He exclaimed cheerfully before sitting down in front of the brunet and smiling. Tsuna stared at him in confusion before Mukuro sighed, taking that as his cue to explain.

"The only one in current contact with me is my sister. It seems you came in contact with her and stole the connection. Congratulations Tsunayoshi! I am now tied with you forever!"

The ending had been completely ignored by Tsuna who decided to pull out the fake grass in the dream. "Sister? You mean Nagi? The girl who got in the car accident?"

Mukuro was silent as he brought his legs to his chest and rested his chin on his knees.

"Yeah, I saw that in her mind before you closed the connection. But don't worry about her, someone just finished saving her life. Let's talk about you though!" He said as Tsuna looked at him with warm brown eyes.

"Mukuro, if you're worried about your sister you don't have to hide it. We've known each other for a few years already. If you want me to look over her, I won't mind."

Mukuro smiled softly before reaching over to rake a hand through the Brunet's locks. "Its alright Tsuna. She's in good hands now. I don't need to worry anymore."

Tsuna smiled softly before reaching up to grab Mukuro's hand. "I just realized it but you were hiding something from me weren't you? Now that your connection is with me I can see it."

Mukuro paused his eyes widening as he looked behind him and smiled sadly at the sight. It was him, suspended in a tub of water.

"Vindince. Why are you in Vindince, Mukuro?" Tsuna asked softly as the purple haired teen released their hands and faced him with a playful pout.

"Some stupid problem with a mafia family. Don't worry your pretty little head over it, though. I'll be out soon. But let's focus on you. Because now I can see everything you hid from me before. I want to know what's behind that big door over there!" Mukuro exclaimed childishly as he stood up and dragged Tsuna with him.

The grassy area around them started to die as they approached the deeper pieces of Tsuna mind. The door was thick and huge, chained together with a huge lock with thorns and spikes. Mukuro whistled as they approached it. "You really don't want people going through this. Good protection!"

He was going to touch it but was stopped by Tsuna who suddenly dragged him back a few steps.

"Don't... I don't want it to be opened." The brunet said firmly. Mukuro frowned before looking at his smaller companion.

"Well I think that was pretty obvious by the chains and thorns, Tsuna. Aren't you curious at all? These kind of doors in someone's mind mean you had problems as a child."

The teasing edge in his voice rewarded him with a pinch from an angry tuna fish.

"I'm not curious. There's a reason its chained and I don't want to know about it at all."

Mukuro gave a depressed sigh before smiling at the brunet and messing up his hair. "When you need it to be opened, give me a call. Right now I want to visit those memories of you as a little assassin! Oh you were so cute!"

He gushed giving an amused smirk at the blushing boy who let himself get dragged away.
