A/N: Ah… 7 more review and it's gonna be my first 100 reviews story! :) I wonder who will be the lucky no.100 reviewer? :D Hahaha~ sadly I don't know what I can give you guys for supporting this story so far…

For SapphireRose's question about why Chrome didn't wear her eye patch. Well, the reason is because she tried to remove everything that reminds her about Mukuro so she used her illusion to create a fake right eye (which means that actually, she can't see anything using her right eye).

For Guest-san's curiosity. Hahahaha~ ^_^ you'll see in this chapter about that. Oh, and the reasons will be appearing sooner…..Hey, it won't be interesting if we just straight away tell you the reasons, right? ^^

Now~ let's go start with our Chapter #6 of 'Never Again'! Dundundundun~


Chapter #6- Trap

Tsuna twitched in annoyance. For some reason, he was feeling very disturbed and his hyper institution won't stop acting up. His guardians won't stop being noisy as usual and it's seriously slowly getting on his nerves too. Worse of all, even his cloud guardian had just gone and left them alone once he arrived at Sicily. The brunette knew that he was going to search for Chrome, the decimo could only prayed to every god there is since he knew that the ex-prefect is going to add up his paperwork (which is already piling up) once he saw Mukuro.

"Is this it?" the Vongola Decimo asked as he looked around. His right-hand man had just led them to a cave that looked perfectly normal. Uh… actually, way too normal that you won't ever think that there are any kidnappers in it.

"Really, Gokudera?" Yamamoto laughed nervously, scratching his cheek. "Did you hear it correctly? I thought they said that it was supposed to be a warehouse…"

"Yeah, aho-Dera. The great Lambo-sama thinks that you've it wrong. I mean, there's clearly nothing here!" the youngest guardian whined.

"Maybe your witness meant that side." Lambo pointed his finger at a nearby town. He was actually inwardly hoping to get home soon to continue enjoying his pack of grape candies but Tsuna knew that he was also worried about his Kyoko-nee and Haru-nee though he doesn't show it...

The usual hot-tempered storm guardian glared dangerously at both of the rain and thunder guardian. "I know what I heard, so stop complaining!"

"IF THAT OCTOPUS HEAD SAID SO, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? WE SHOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE AND CHIT-CHATTING! I HAVE TO SAVE KYOKO RIGHT NOW!" Ryohei exclaimed loudly. And with that, he ran into the dark cave without thinking as he yelled; "KYOKOOOOO!"

"IDIOT!" Gokudera cursed out as he ran out from their hiding place and rushed towards the over-protective sun guardian.

Tsuna sense his Hyper Intuition telling him to run away but he couldn't figure out why. He looked around his surrounding and thought once again. Isn't it strange that the Pesca familgia would come to a cave out of all places?

He crossed his hands together as he looked into the cave properly. Suddenly, fear gripped him as he notice a figure hiding inside the cave and they were currently standing on some sort of metallic object which was well-hidden to look like it's a part of the cave.

"WAIT, EVERYONE! IT'S A TRAP! RUN!" Tsuna yelled as he rushed towards his guardians, but it was too late. A smoke bomb land on their legs and white gases start to surround them. Tsuna grabbed his glove and was about to lit up his flame when suddenly; he felt something preventing him from doing so.

"Damn…it's…paralyzing g-gas…" The brunette muttered as he felt his body stiffen and sight blurred. The last thing he saw was the rest of his guardians dropping to the ground one by one. His thought immediately ran towards his beloved fiancée as he collapsed on the hard ground.

"Kyoko-chan… I… can't protect you… I'm so sorry…" Tsuna whispered as the darkness start to engulf him.


"I think his fever had came down…"

He heard the soft and angelic voice said before a palm gently touched his forehead. The male illusionist turned his attention to the left of the bed before slowly open his monochrome eyes.

"Chrome…?" he called out softly. As he blinked his eyes twice to clear up his vision, his mix-matched orbs were met with a pair of emotionless onyx orbs.

"You're awake, pineapple herbivore?" Hibari asked plainly and Mukuro slightly snapped at the word 'pineapple'.

"Kufufufufufu~" Mukuro laughed out darkly. "It's a pleasure to meet you again, Hibari Kyoya…" He cackled as killing auras start to spread around him.

Chrome gulped when she felt the murderous intent surrounding the room from the two guardians. The purplenette knew that asking Hibari to take care of Mukuro might be a bad idea but it can't be helped since she had to go and buy the breakfast for the three of them. He couldn't possibly ask the cloud guardian to find some food since he'd bite every herbivore to death and perhaps she could also get some extra information about the enemy familgia….

"I-I'll go and buy some breakfast now..."

Chrome muttered as she walked towards the door but she stopped and looked back at the two guardians. Mukuro was smirking eerily at the skylark who was glaring at him as his hand had the urge to grabbed on his tonfas and wipe the pineapple herbivore's expression. One look and you can tell that both of them are already aiming for each other's neck. The female illusionist sighed before muttering with a serious tone and pointed to both of them.

"You two better not cause any trouble while I'm away."

The skylark gave off a 'hn' while the pineapple head only cackled creepily in return. The purplenette noticed how the two didn't even reply with something as close to a 'yes' and frowned.

'But they should be fine on their own...right?'

Chrome thought as she left the room. Though she was already thinking of buying breakfast as soon as she can, the purplenette can only hope that the hotel will still be intact by the end of the day.


The male illusionist simply stared at the ceiling, having enough of his rest earlier while the cloud guardian was crossing both arms and sitting down on the chair furthest away from the pineapple head on the bed. Heavy silence filled the room as both avoid eye contact and trying really hard to erase the other's presence.

"Herbivore, is your stupid fever down?" Hibari finally said though his voice still held that icy tone and if possible, with even more killing intent than usual.

"Kufufufu~ are you worrying over me, skylark-kun?—"

The male illusionist smirked slyly but was cut off by a tonfa that came crashing down on the bed with a heavy blow that split it to two. The skylark had aimed at the mist guardian but it turned out that he had hit his illusion body instead. He scowled in the direction at the other end of the room where purple mist gathered and formed a pineapple head unhurt.

"If it wasn't her who asked me to take care of you...I would have bitten you to death!" Kyoya hissed as he held up his tonfa.

"Kufufufufufu~ thanks for worrying about me, dear skylark-kun. But my fever had come down and right now..." The mist guardian raised an arm and a metallic trident appeared on his hand.

"I have an urge to kill you..." Mukuro growled as his mix-matched eyes narrowed threatening, a symbol of the number 'four' appearing on his ruby eye.

"I'll bite you to death before you could kill me." He simply declared before lunging at the mist illusionist and both weapons clashed with real intent to kill.


Tsuna slowly open his eyes as he groaned in pain, his head is still pounding hard. He rubbed it when his intuition suddenly acted up once again.

'Mmm… weird, why do I have a feeling that my paperwork might add up sooner or later…?'

The brunette asked himself as he looked around his surroundings; he was now in an English styled mansion. The next thing he saw was his guardians being closed up in different cages.

"Guys!" He yelled out while looking at his guardians worriedly as he still couldn't move from his spot. "Are you alright?" none of them titled their heads to answer his question except Gokudera who mumble a soft 'yes'. It looks like Gokudera was the only one slightly immune from the paralysis since he ate Bianchi's poison cooking before. As for Tsuna, he had already trained with Reborn before but the paralysis gas was too strong this time as his sun and lightning guardian was still unconscious. Panic start to grip on him as he bit his lips in fear of losing his friends. Suddenly, his worry was interrupted by a voice.

"Welcome, Vongola Decimo. I'm glad that you've decided to pay a visit to my 'home'."

A rough voice said. Tsuna turned his attention towards the voice and saw a bald man, along two other men in black suit walking in. Tsuna's now orange orbs fixed into a fierce glare when he saw the two men holding his fiancée and Haru who were struggling to get away from the strong grip.

"Calvo… as I expected…" Tsuna muttered hatefully to the boss of the Pescha familgia. The man laughed at him.

"Ah, isn't it been a long time since we ever met with each other, Vongola Decimo. Have you met Maria? She is going to be so happy to see you!"

Tsuna gritted his teeth as his anger start to rise. The man is particularly trying to mock his fiancée in front of him. He had an urge to knock the smirk on the man's face when he saw his fiancée flashed a disturbed look before she shook her head. The orange head turned to look at his fiancé worriedly as she gaze at him with her honey browns.

'Don't worry, I trust you Tsu-kun.'

Tsuna smiled weakly at her and relief washed over him as he saw the two girls unharmed. He turned to look at the Pesca Boss.

"What are you planning, Calvo?" Tsuna asked with hints of angers in his tone. His hyper intuition is also telling him that something bad might happen soon.

"Now, now, Sawada Tsunayoshi, you don't have to be so hasty. Why don't we take our time and have a nice talk?" Calvo said as he walked around the cave and stopped in front of the cage that trapped Tsuna.

"I don't care what kind of plans you have in your mind…" Tsuna muttered as his bangs covered his eyes.

"But I demand you to give back my fiancée and friends now." The brunette growled angrily as his face start to darken, orange orbs narrowed dangerously at the man who stood before him with an evil smirk. However, after a while, he suddenly felt pain shots around his body and he hissed. Damn… that's some strong paralyzed gas they used.

Calvo sneered and grabbed Tsuna's mop of chestnut hair before grinning evilly as he brought his head up. Tsuna gritted his teeth as he glared weakly at the evil guy.

"The Vongola Decimo isn't so tough now is he?" the evil guy smirked.

"I won't forgive you for hurting Kyoko-chan and my friends!" The brunette spoke weakly but kept his glare at the Pesca Boss. Calvo clicked his tongue and punched his gut, causing a bone cracking sound to come from the brunette.

"Jyudaime!" Gokudera screamed as he saw his boss coughed. The evil guy cackling like the evil man he is as he watched the decimo coughing out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't get too cocky, Decimo." Calvo spat as he took out a knife from his breast pocket and twirled it in between his hands.

"We could kill you anytime now." He smirked slyly as he lifted up the weapon. The metal then grazed Tsuna's cheeks, causing a trail of crimson to flow down to the ground.

"Tsu… kun…" Kyoko whispered as she stopped struggling, her orange bangs covering her eyes.

The subordinate who was holding her started to grin as he spoke. "Who knew that the Vongola Decimo would be so easy to be defea—"

He was cut off by a mop of orange hair and a pair of honey browns filled with pure anger, Kyoko head-butt the guy and did a 180 degree kick to his neck which sent the guy flying. Haru used her elbow and jab on the guy's stomach before kicking him on the 'you-know-where'.

Gokudera weakly reached out for the two briefcases and threw it at the girls while for the first time ever, feeling somewhat thankful to his sister since he used to be a victim to her poison cooking. Both girls caught the briefcases with ease but just as they were about to open it, Calvo shot twice at the girls who evade the bullet with ease. Kyoko whipped out two black colored guns with a Vongola crest on its body and glared at Calvo as she shoot at his hand, the knife flying away from his hold. Haru took out a black rifle and kneeled down to get a better aim, she then swiftly shot at his arm which was holding the decimo. The evil guy hissed and dropped Tsuna to the ground.

"How dare you hurt him..." Kyoko hissed as her honey browns sharpened dangerously.

"You can make my boyfriend look lame there" Haru pointed to the silvernette as he started cursing her for mocking him as always.

"Or even give us crappy food..." The brown head muttered as she filled the rifle with more bullets and it closed off with a 'click', ready to do its job.

"But no one...especially not a bastard like you is ever allowed to hurt our boss as long as we're still breathing!" Haru screamed as she glared at Calvo, her rifle already aiming for his head.

"Hah, seems like you two are not that weak as I thought…" Calvo said as he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping the blood that trickled down on his palm. The Pesca Boss titled his head as he sent a glare at the orange head who didn't even flinched but only gazing back at him with a more collected look.

"Sasagawa Kyoko, do you think that you're perfect for the Vongola Decimo?" he asked mockingly to the orange head.

"There are thousands of girls who are more skillful and suitable for him, aren't you scared that he might get bore of you and find another girl…?"

The words are like bullets that pierced through Kyoko's heart. She bit her lips so hard she swears it might bleed as she aimed her gun on his head.

"Shut up….you doesn't know anything about Tsu-kun." She muttered with an icy tone before looking at Calvo with emotionless honey browns. "If that is what he really wants, then so be it."

"But for Tsu-kun who promised to protect me….I had sworn not to be a burden in return." Kyoko whispered as she held up the one of the gun to his head, her grip on the weapon tightening unconsciously. "…I will protect him."

"K-Kyoko-chan…"

Tsuna coughed as he turned his head to look at his fiancée weakly and he noticed her trembling hands. The Pesca Boss only stood with a hand in his pocket, smirking at the orange head amusedly. Haru furrowed her brows at her best friend but could find no word to say as she knew that she would've done the same thing. The orange head hated using her weapons but if her friends or fiancé was ever in danger, she knew she had to use it. But the decimo didn't want his fiancée to be stained by the mafia world …especially if it's because of him. He'd never forgive himself.

Tsuna gritted his teeth and gathered his strength as he screamed. "Gokudera!"

Gokudera took the cue and whipped out a handful of dynamites from his pocket. He quickly threw the dynamites out as a grey smoke engulfed all of them.

"Oi, octopus-head! What do you think you're doing?!" Haru exclaimed as she coughed, trying not to inhale too much of the smoke.

"Shut up, stupid woman! Bring Kyoko-san out of here, QUICK!"

The girls' eyes widened and before they could protest, they heard a weak voice.

"Kyoko-chan… Haru… Please listen to us this time… F-Find Mukuro, Chrome and Hibari-san…" Tsuna pleaded at them.

Haru was shock and Kyoko took the brown head's hand before she shook her head at the brown head, hoping that she'd understand by telling her 'no'. Haru bit her lip and nodded her head with her bangs covering her eyes. Kyoko and Haru turned on their way but the orange head took one last glance at her fiancé before mouthing out her words.

'We'll be back Tsu-kun, I promise' Tsuna gave a weak smile before his sight blurred, the ringing in his head became worse as he fainted.

"Oi…stupid woman…" Haru turned to look at the silverette who mouthed out the word that make her eyes widened…

'Ti amo'

"I'll say it again properly when I have the strength to, so get out of here and…don't get caught you idiot… woman." He muttered out weakly.

Tears ran down her cheeks as she knew the meaning of the words. It means 'I love you'….Her hand gripped tightly around her rifle as she dashed out of the mansion with the orange head who quivered as she hold back her tears. Kyoko and Haru aren't going to forgive them for what they have done to their boyfriends…..Ever.


To be continued.
