21 Days

by Nessa Shadows

"It had been quick—a blur at best. Everything was like a black and white movie. There was so much noise but one stood out, the click of a gun's safety. Everybody was confused: hadn't they taken everyone out? A moment's hesistation was all the gunner needed. A shot rang out, and they all took cover as quickly as possible, but it was too late; the damage was done." GuardiansxOC

21 Days

Chaos insued.

Gokudera yelled at her telling her to "get her lazy ass up!", shaking her body. Tsuna sat on the floor, a look of disbelief on his face: what had just happened? Yamamoto's usual cheery hardened into a serious one—it didn't quite look right. Lambo cried, the usually-loud Ryohei was stunned silent, and Hibari, and Mukuro were in their own little world.

What had just happened?

Lia died. Lia died. She's dead. She's gone. And it's their fault. If they had reacted quicker, maybe she wouldn't be laying her motionless. She'd be alive.

It had become quiet. It wasn't accepted, but it was obvious. This was it: the end of her life. She was only 23. Only 23.

Hibari had left aready, disappearing with a blank face, but one could see some emotions in his steel-gray eyes: sadness—guilt. Mukuro disappeared in a swivel of mist when it finally dawned on him that his beloved was gone. Gone. Ryohei had now resorted to repeatedly punching the wall, harder and harder until his knuckles started to bleed.

Gokudera had ceased shaking you when a sullen-looking Yamamoto put his hand out to stop him; now, his head was down and covered by his hands. His shaking was a dead give away—he was crying. Tsuna had been feeling faint. All of the blood on you, the look on your face, your last words. It was all too much. His eyes closed as his mouth formed two syllables: Lia.
