AN: I'm very happy with this one. Personally this one was NOT planned at all. Anti Tri-ni-set Rays? Originally supposed to be seals, oaths etc. This was an absolute surprise. Now about the reviews...People, it was just a question of opinion. I might do it in the future but it was just a thought. Calm Down, guys.

Beta: The Dark Crimson Blood

Chapter 8: Firestorm

It happened quite quickly. The tiny ball of flame had spread quickly into a wild, roaring wall of blazing fire. Flickering orange flames with licks of blue spun and whispered in an entrancing dance, running up wooden shelves and leafing through stacks of ancient books. Entrancing all who looked upon them near lethally.

Fumes of dark gray smoke hung in the air. They forced themselves into his throat, eyes, nose, any opening they could find, choking him to near unconscious. In mere seconds, the entire library was set inflame.

Everywhere he turned, burning flames blocked his way, threatening to consume him alive. He was vaguely aware of the young silver-haired man behind me, who was slowly choking on the smoke just as he was too.

Yet even trapped within flame, Tsuna couldn't help find it breathtaking beautiful, behind his fear. Pure orange with a lick of blue in the center, with red in ever flicker. They danced and whirled and spun in a wild, unpredictable waltz, leaving destruction in their wake.

Staring into the flames, just for a brief moment, Tsuna felt compelled to go in. Maybe it was the fumes clouding his brain or the sudden despair of this moment, but he stepped forward and reached a hand into the living, breathing, hungry flames.

Just as his hand was about to touch the flames, it was jerked back by a larger hand.

"Oi. Get a hold of yourself" snared Gokudera, his raging green eyes piercing into his own lava colored orbs. Stunned with shock, Tsuna could only nod.

Looking around, Tsuna didn't know how long he had been in there since the fire had started, but by now he was close to giving up. The fire had cornered them and left them with no escape.

Gaia save us he prayed in the mind, as he tried to push Gokudera backwards. The flames were less than two yard, and it was coming closer every second. Standing almost back to back with the silver haired boy, Both of them heard the alarming crack

It was a loud booming cracking sound, erupted past even the roaring of flames. Jerking his head up, Tsuna came upon a frightening sight. Next to him, he heard Gokudera draw in a sharp breath. The metal that held the beautiful chandelier onto the ceiling was bending under the constant battering of the flames and was now about to fall.

Time seemed to have froze. With a pounding heart and blood rushing in his ears, Tsuna truly felt fear. The metal bent itself to it's fullest range, and collapsed. As it fell it seemed to be suspended in the air.

With his burning lava-colored eyes locked on the bright orange flames that climbed up and down the broken chandelier, Tsuna felt a familiar yet not so familiar power course through his blood.

Only barely aware that he was glowing in orange light, Tsuna heard Gokudera gasp slightly at the warm light emerging from Tsuna's body. It was beautiful and soft in color, not too warm, not too cold.

Eyes widening, Tsuna's mind struggled to form a possible explanation. "How...the Anti Tri-ni-set Rays..." Tsunayoshi mumbled, as a blast of fresh air suddenly propelled out of his body along the orange light.

Expanding, the light formed a circular barrier of orange light that rippled with power, reflecting the flames that attempted to climb up the barrier. Darker orange rings rippled along the barrier, sending the shattered shards of the chandelier flying away.

But it didn't stop there. As the light formed an impenetrable barrier, the wind had blasted through the flames, dousing at least half and pushing the rest a couple yards away. But just as quickly as they fell, the flames spawned more and more until they were back to the raging wall of fire.

His hands shaking in shock, Tsuna stared in wonderment. "You.." said Gokudera behind him with a barely hearable shaking voice and wide eyes.

Whirling slightly in the spot on the floor in which he had collapsed in, Tsunayoshi came face to face with a shocked Gokudera.

Suddenly a loud roaring crackle snapped the two out of their daze. "Shit!" snared Gokudera, turning his attention back to the fire,"The fire's still coming!"

Biting his lip in worry, Tsunayoshi tried to think of an idea. "The barrier won't hold forever..." he said, eyes narrowing in concentration.

"I know" growled Gokudera with a worried look in his eyes,"But the fire alarms should be warning the others by now."

"...Fire Alarms?" Tsunayoshi questioned with a blank look on his face. He had no clue what a 'fire alarm' was. Perhaps it was an invention of this era? Either way, he had long comed to the conclusion that future technology was weird. Period.

"Er...I'll explain to you next time" Gokudera said with a sweatdrop on his face.

Dismissing the questions in his mind, Tsuna stared at the barrier. It shouldn't have been able to have emerged. The Anti tri-ni-set Rays would have crippled him before the power even would have emerged. Heck, he shouldn't have been even able to see, much less tap, into the power.

But whatever had apparently went wacko with the Anti tri-ni-set Radiation, it meant that it could be possible to save both him and Gokudera with the power, from the fire before it burned them to death alive.

Huffing slightly, The boy closed his blazing eyes and opened his mind's eye to his soul. The sight nearly left him jumping in happiness yet sullen with disappointment.

A steady orange flame the size of a watermelon laid in the middle of the white orb that was his soul, a light in the darkness. The former flame had expanded to a lively flame, proof that the Anti tri-ni-set Rays were failing, but it was nowhere near the wild inferno that it truly was.

But it was enough, and that was good for now. Grabbing the flame, the boy felt power course through every vein, every blood vessel, until it exploded outwards onto the physical plane. A thrill of sensation, pleasure and pain as the warm flames transformed into a swift wind.

Thrown back by the violent gale erupting out of the strange boy known as Tsuna, Gokudera got to his feet just in time to see Tsunayoshi opening a pair of glowing crimson-red eyes, much like lava.

The gale swept over the raging fire, putting out the fire like water. All was silent as thin trails of steam swept into the air. "Wow" mumbled Gokudera under his breath.

Wow indeed. The library's once orchid color walls were stained grey with ash. It's floors were covered with half-burned wooden fragments and unsalvageable paper books. The once beautiful chandelier was now broken on the ground, glass scattered everywhere. In all it was a rather morbid picture for a once beautiful place.

Kneeling on the floor, Gokudera picked up a charred but seemingly complete book. The second Gokudera touched it, it fell away like ash. The grey substance fell to the floor and spreaded like powder.

Staring at the ruined remains of the library, Tsuna felt a tingle of grief at the hapless destruction of the library who had probably contained important documents that had written out the history of the Vongola. The living proof of the Historians that had slaved over them, the joy and culture of this kingdom.

Standing up, Gokudera approached Tsuna with a strange look in his eyes. Slightly curious, Tsuna watched Gokudera approach warly.

When they came face to face, Gokudera suddenly dropped to the floor and bowed, to Tsunayoshi's astonished eyes.

"I, Gokudera Hayato, a descendant of the Noble House of Tempesta, swear my loyalty, and my life to you, Tsunayoshi or Juudaime as I will now call you, as the tenth person to have ever saved me!" swore Gokudera.

"EH!"

"You brats! Look what you did to the library! Thank god the books were all copies and not originals!" roared Reborn as he charged into the library, as an adult Tsunayoshi noted with confusion, just in time to see Gokudera Hayato swearing himself to Tsunayoshi.
