Fon's POV:

10 months after Reborn's kidnapping

Fon may not show it, but he is very worried about Renato's mysterious disappearance. Ren is the closest thing he has to a friend in this shadowy business. While he and Ren may never acknowledge each other as anything more than allies, they have an unspoken trust between the two of them. He knows that if Ren got offered a job that requires killing him Ren would be hesitant in taking it. The same thing would happen if Fon got offered such a job. Fon may not say it, but he would rather get killed himself than kill Ren.

Fon knows Ren can normally take care of himself, but he has this odd feeling that something is just not right about this situation. Fon knew Renato was planning to form a new identity for himself, as he is far to well known now. He wanted to become someone new before people started going after him for the bounty, but Ren told Fon that he would tell him when he started reinventing himself.

Breaking away from his thoughts, Fon heard a popping noise come from his kitchen. That is strange. Fon could have sworn he had not left anything on in the Kitchen. Quietly he sneaks away from his bedroom and stealthily enters the kitchen where he sees a child like figure cloaked in a bed sheet. The childlike being beckons him to follow. With a loud pop what Fon thinks to be a child disappears and reappears bellow his balcony. Fon chases after this mysterious being until he comes upon an abandoned alley way. The smell of fresh blood saturates the air even before entering the alley. He sees the hand of the mysterious being beckoning him further into the alley way. At this point Fon does not know why he is following this mysterious figure, but something seems compelling him to do so. Fon feels a sense of foreboding
as he continues down the long narrow alley way. His eyes then land on a form slumped against the wall of the alley.

"Ren..." Fon says. "What happened to him?"

Fon stares down at Renato's nearly lifeless body. He had never seen Ren so pale before. Ren always seemed so larger than life, so seeing him in this position is very disconcerting. Fon's eyes narrowed at Renato's naked form. Are those bruises shaped like hands?

"Please help, young sir." The child like being cried, "Young sir told Dipsy that sir Fon would be able to help him! Dipsy will have to punish herself later for disobeying master's orders, but young sir is good friend to Dipsy and Dipsy must protect friend."

"Calm down", Fon told Dipsy, putting his hand on his shoulder in comfort. "Don't worry I'll make sure he gets help."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Dipsy cried out, "Dipsy must go now. Dipsy can't keep master waiting any longer."

She then popped out of existence. Fon pull Renato's lifeless form close not wanting to let go. Fearing that if he were to let go Ren would disappear like an illusion. Fon quickly dressed Renato in his shirt, since he knew he could not walk out of the alley way with Renato naked.
As he walked to the closest hospital he was approached by the local police offering them a lift. Normally he would not trust the police to take him anywhere, but he needed to get there fast if Ren was going to make it. When they got there the doctors took one look at Ren and took him back. He was sitting waiting for information on Ren's condition for what felt like days, but in actuality it was probably closer to hours. Fon saw a doctor approach him.

"How is he?" Fon said trying his best to keep calm in this situation.

"He should wake up in a couple days. If he was brought in any later I doubt we could have saved him." The doctor said, "We are transferring him to the sun ward where he should be able to make a full physical recovery."

"What about mentally?" Fon asked dreading the answer he already knew.

"Your friend has been through a traumatic experience. Judging from his injuries he was most likely raped numerous times in the last couple months and anal tearing to such an extent suggests your friend has just given birth. And since you explained how long he was missing that quite possibly might be the case. The likelihood of a male sun surviving giving birth is one in every hundred. It is a good thing you got him here when he did"

Fon shivered. The doctor nodded to him than walked off. As much as he loved how mafia doctors do not sugar coat anything when it comes to their patients. He wished just this once he could have gotten the kid friendly version.


Reborn's POV:

A couple months before the curse

It has been a year since the incident occurred and Reborn was still having nightmares about it. He has taken many jobs to get his mind off the situation, but nothing ever works. Every touch. Every feeling. They remind him of what that man did to him. He was starting to feel sorry for their cloud. Sometimes all it would take for him to lash out at Skull was a simple tap on the shoulder. Reborn started covering this up by beating on the cloud whenever he would make a mistake. He knows it's wrong, but he doesn't want to be known as the sullied sun.

No he will not let the others know. Reborn knew Fon was suspicious since he had found him in that alley way, but if he did figure it out, Fon did not voice his suspicions. He was grateful Fon did not bring it up, but he could still feel his subtle glances every time he beat on the cloud. Reborn wished things could go back to the way they were before. When he knew he was the strongest and no one would be able to beat him down. Many had tried and failed over the years, because let's face it the Mafia is not a friendly place to grow up in, but he was not ready. The idea of a forced pregnancy on a sun was almost unheard of in the mafia. He wished that G-d damned civilian would just go rot in Vendicare for raping a sun. Rape went against the rules the vindice set in place.

Today was a meeting day for the arcobelano. They were to divvy up the missions amongst themselves.

"Are you sure you want to take that one, Reborn." Fon said cautiously looking at the mission Reborn just picked up.

"I'm sure." Reborn said in a cold voice, that held none of the confidence that it normally did when he went on a mission.

Skull went over to look at the mission Reborn had picked.

"I'll go with sempai!" Skull exclaimed wrapping an arm around Reborn. In an instant Skulls body was forced into the wall with Reborn's elbow at his throat.

"Do not touch me!" Reborn growled out. Reborn's eyes widened realizing how close he was to dislocating Skull's jaw and backed away. "I don't need you, Lackey!" Reborn then ran out of the meeting.

"I think you should go with him tomorrow." Fon told Skull, before trailing after Reborn.


Skull's POV

Skull sits with his family and reminisces over what happened at the last meeting. He was glad he went by his stage name in the Mafia. He was sure his family would have been dragged in with him if he did not. He noticed his wife glaring at him. What did he forget this time? Every day he had to forget something!

"Harry!", His wife Violet Evans screamed out.

"What did I forget this time", Skull asked.

"Your bleeding." Violet said in an annoyed voice.

"Shit." Skull hissed. G-d damn it Reborn. Why couldn't he go easy on him just once! At this rate he is going to have to break Omerta and tell his family.

"Papa, Okay?" questioned his little Lily. Even his one year old was worried.

"Yes. Papa is okay." Skull said patting Lily on the head, "I am the immortal Skull-sama after all!"

Lily giggled as Petunia and Violet rolled their eyes at his antics. All was well in the Evans household.
