Mitobe quickly ran to his room and grabbed another ring and a box animal making a total of four rings and three box animals. He never felt the need to use the new one, the animal itself was deadly and dangerous. The Dart Frog, it's skin is coated with poison and one touch was all it took to take down a grown man, the amphibian required a lot of Mist Flames so Mitobe was hesitant about using it but with their situation it wasn't a choice anymore. The Dart Frogs take in their owner's flames and releases it into the enemy forcing the flame in and destroying them from inside making them dangerous and deadly. The Illusionist grabbed his first switch blade and shoved it in his pocket, being sentimental to old things he couldn't leave it behind. Mitobe ran outside to meet with the others, Bianchi finished tending to Squalo and Yamamoto was helping the Varia assassin stand. Spanner and Gianinni were going to stay behind and activate the emergency defense system for the base so they won't be coming along and Bianchi will be there in case a anyone get past their defense to protect the two.

"We need to hurry! The Millefiore sent A ranked soldiers after us!" Gianinni panicked as he showed them to monitor, red dots were rabidly approaching their base and there was a large sum of them too.

"We need to hurry!" Yamamoto yelled concerned as he hoisted the other swordsman higher.

"You can't go out there now! There's an army coming." Gianinni confessed nervously as he looked at the scanner.

"We have to meet up with Tsuna..." The Vongola rain guardian replied sullenly hoping the Italian man understood.

"Alright enough, we're going out there! We need to get Yamamoto caught up with the others, beside that army is going to get here sooner or later and an attack that size won't leave this base with out harm. Here's the plan. When we leave, I am going to cast an illusion around Takeshi and Squalo, after that I'll meet the army at the intersection and hold them off and buy you enough time to activate the defense system. Takeshi, meet up with Hibari and Dino, at least then you'll have more protection and go meet Tsunayoshi at the designated spot understand?"

"No way! You can't take on an army that size!"

"Gianinni, we need time. We can't waste it arguing."

"Bu-"

"I can take care of myself."

"Voii! Brat! Don't get cocky an army tha-"

"I'm buying time. We need to go now!"

The determination in the Informants voice was enough to tell everyone that he was going through with this plan and at this point there isn't anything else they can do. Yamamoto nodded and helped Squalo out the base, Mitobe immediately cast an illusion around them that hid their presence before running in the other direction to the intersection. He knew he was over his head but if it bought some time then it won't matter.

Millefiore men in White Spell and Black spell uniforms gathered all around the single illusionist with their weapons drawn while the smaller man stood parallel of the massive group a single switchblade in and and ring lit with mist flames hovering over his box ring.

"They sent one little boy to hold us back?"

"Are you kidding me?! A switchblade?"

"Look at him he's so short."

"Doesn't he kind of look like a girl?"

"Where did he get his hair cut?"

"Maybe he put it in a lawnmower."

"Aww man! Is this a joke?"

They didn't take him seriously at all. Unlike getting annoyed like usual he simply smirked, underestimating your opponent is a bad mistake considering Mitobe was a conniving person who will take advantage of people he doesn't like. Hornets soon filled the air and moles started digging in the ground and planted explosives, switchblade met with skin and bodies fell to the floor one by one. There were illusionist among the ranks so Mitobe made it his priority to take them out first before moving on to the next ones. The Millefiore's forces are strong and the Informant wasn't sure how much longer he could hold them back, he was almost out of flames, with using them to power his box animals and casting illusion Mitobe was about to run dry, he was covered in blood, some of it was his some of them were the enemy's. He had a broken rib and severe cuts all over his body and the Millefiore soldiers just kept coming, he started loosing too much blood and his vision was beginning to get hazy.

"Give it up. You can't win." A soldier kicked him into a wall making the illusionist cough out more blood.

"Hehe...he...I've already won. You were too stupid to know that this was a distraction..."

"What is he talking about?"

"Squad leader?!"

"Haha, idiots...I'm just buying time."

The other looked shocked, they should have known better, it's been a over an hour now that would be enough time to set up the defense and let Yamamoto meet up with Tsuna.

"So this was..."

"A suicide mission." Mitobe finished for the man with as people fell through a hole made by his mole box weapon and hit the explosion blowing them to bits. God he loved that mole.

Mitobe picked himself up using the wall for support and pushed himself off with his switchblade ever so present in his hand. It wasn't over yet, not until all these vermin were gone. The Informant was getting slower his movements were less fluent and the enemy knew it, the blood loss wasn't helping and neither was the amount of flame he lost. It was about time to end this battle, Mitobe coughed up more blood and spit it on the ground as he grabbed his weapon box, lighting his ring on fire with Mist flames he feed it to his box weapon just in time before the ring broke. Poisonous dart frog gathered everywhere killing the opponents off one by one but the owner fell to his knees coughing up more blood.

"Dino!" Yamamoto ran over to the blond hair boss with the Varia rain hanging on him desperately, Dino ran over to helped with the assassin.

"Voii! Get your shitty hands off me Cavallone!" Squalo screamed threateningly. Dino laughed it off and secured Squalo's other arm, Kusakabe and Romario walked over calmly with Hibari trailing behind them.

"We need to meet up with Tsuna." Yamamoto announced shifting his shoulder since supporting Squalo all this way made it stiff.

"Wait a minute, where's Mitobe?" Kusakabe asked noticing the boy wasn't there, that instantly caught Hibari's attention and he turned to Yamamoto for an answer.

"Millefiore forces were being sent to the base, the fucking trash went to hold them off." Squalo answered for the younger swordsman.

"How big were their forces?" Romario asked urgently.

"It's the Millefiore, it's fucking gigantic! That piece of shit was planning a suicide mission!" Squalo shouted, he knew all along but there was no way of stopping the Informant so he didn't bother trying to stop him, the white hair man could tell his apprentice was shocked by the news, he should have told him but the boy would have objected, who was he to say who could and couldn't rick their lives? This was the future they were talking about, if it meant Mitobe dying to save the future he was willing to sacrifice the illusionist, but the hard part was dealing with their Varia Cloud guardian later.

"No way...Squalo! Mitobe wouldn't do that. He'll get out alive I me-"

"Voii! Who do you think you're kidding? That army was massive, we're fucking lucky he even managed to hold them off this long! Are you going to let his shitty sacrifice go to waste?!"

"Squalo, stop talking about him like he's dead." Yamamoto put on an uneasy smile but everyone could see through it.

"Hey, boss, where did Hibari go?" Romario turned to Dino who looked around frantically.

"He was just here!" The Cavallone boss panicked.

"Voi! Bucking Horse! We need to meet up with everyone!" His old childhood friend shouted.

"But we need to look for-"

"VOI! ARE YOU DISOBEYING ME?!"

"Squalo! You can't possibl-"

"Bucking horse where do you think he is?"

"I..."

"That's what I fucking thought! He probably went to look for that shitty Mole, the trash is dead and there's no denying it. So shut your fucking mouth and stop letting his sacrifice go to waste! You're the wasting time he bought for us!"

The blond shut his mouth and nodded, he had trust in his student but he wasn't sure how he would react if Mitobe was really dead, when Kyoya first saw him he almost attacked him without second thoughts, maybe it was the hair, bangs to the left and what ever on the right tucked behind his ear. He didn't know much about Mole himself other then his reputation of disguises and sneak attacks, the only other thing that he knew about the actual person behind the name was that he grew up with Hibari, and he studied under the Ninth Guardian of the Mist. The group agreed to move on, but out of everyone Yamamoto seemed to be the most distressed, his grip on his sword was tight and he seemed strained.

The battle sight was a war zone, bodies littered on the floor everywhere and blood covered every inch of the ground, and the smell of blood flattered the air. Hibari looked around, his face calm and uncaring but inside he was starting to panic, he checked every face to make sure his Mutt wasn't one of them. He walked over the dead bodies not caring about who it was, some of them looked like they have been poisoned, others slashes and some blown to bits. So this was the destructive power of Masato Mitobe, the Prefect froze he stopped in front of the brick wall, leaning on it was a small slim figure resting on the floor slouching horrendously. Blood dripped from his head and wound, the heaviest one was the one on his abdomen, a large gash over his stomach that cut through his clothing and the red liquid pooled around him as the black hair boy let out soft pants. His hand was wrapped around his wound adding pressure on it but it was clearly not helping, Hibari leaned down and got on eye level with the bleeding boy.

"Herbivore...?" He asked softly lifting the head with his hands gently not caring if the blood stain his skin. Mitobe's eyes were half lid looking up to the Prefect.

"Hi...bari...Hehe...he...Didn't think you'd be the one to see...me in my...mmnn...last moment." Mitobe's voice was faint and soft, his chest falling up and down slowly.

Hibari didn't say anything but look at the boy sadly, the scarlet blood slipped between his fingers and he held the broken body in his arms.

"Ahh...Ha...ha...This is...rather pathetic of me don't you think?" Mitobe held up a hand and gripped the Prefect's shirt loosely.

"I knew I was going to die...Just not like this...And the saddest part is that I didn't even get to see the setting sun one last time..."

"Don't try to talk Herbivore."

"No...I can't...I won't make it out alive. I already knew that...ah...At least I was useful to the boss...Tsuna...yoshi...How would he react to my death...He'll beat himself over it..." The dying boy started to tear up and his voice cracked slowly showing Hibari just how afraid he was at the moment. His breathing was getting worst and the wounds won't stop bleeding.

"He'll blame himself...He'll say it's all his fault..."

"You're dying and you're thinking about how the Herbivore might react to this?" The Prefect asked irritated, Mitobe smiled softly and his hand fell from it's spot on the Skylark's shirt. Hibari reached for it and lead it limply.

"You know...I'm don't have long left...I was starting to bargain with God...If I live...I work harder...I'll be kinder...I'll fix what I broke...But I won't get the chance...Hiba..ri...I'm dying a coward...A coward..."

Hibari brushed the strands of hair away from the Informant's eyes and smeared the blood on his face in the process. He could feel Mitobe starting to slip away, he was struggling with keeping his eyes open as it is but he refused to stop talking.

"...I don't have long left...So I'll try to make it quick. I lied...I lied to you Hibari...I do like you...I'm falling for you all over again...It hurts...Do you hate me still? For being an illusionist? I don't want to die with this regret ...Kyoya..."

Kyoya. How familiar does that sound, Hibari haven't heard that in a while, not from the dying man in his arms.

"I never regretted meeting you...Not one bit...Kyoya...Kyoya...Can you say my name?"

Hibari tightened his hold on the hand, not enough to hurt the illusionist but enough for him to feel, the Informant weakly smiled at him before coughing up more blood.

"Masato. Masato Mitobe..."

The tears ran down the dying boy's face as his smile grew, saying the name itself was difficult for the Skylark, but his dog was dying and it was time to let him go.

"Mitobe, what do you plan to accomplish with a suicide mission?"

"Ahh...Takeshi had to get away...You need to return to the past...You need...to fix the future, why does it matter...if a life get lost in the process?"

"Why are you acting so useless Mutt?"

"...If you win the battle...this future will be rewritten...I'll live...You live...And we won't have to spend time hating each other..."

"...And that's worth you dyin-"

"Don't be selfish of...cour..se it ...is." Mitobe tightened his grip on the Prefect's and and laced their fingers, he let out a small laugh looking at it.

"I don't mind...dying like this..."

"Stop joking about this!"

"...Send me off...Kyoya..."

Hibari had no words to describe how frustrated he was, he's sitting in a pool of blood holding his dying friend, he knew there was no way that Mitobe could survive but it was time to let go for now, and as he said, if he fixed the future he can go back to the past, where the fourteen years old Mitobe was alive, where he was still breathing...

"Masato Mitobe. This is goodbye."

The Prefect laid the corpse on the floor, he deserved a better burial but now wasn't the time he had to take down Byakuran, these past few days were the most frustrating days of his life but also the most eye opening. Kyoya closed the Informant's eyes and gave his hand one last encouraging squeeze before letting the boy go completely. This was their goodbye, their farewell. But not the last time they see each other, he will return to the past and he will make sure he won't regret his decision of keeping the dog around.

Mitobe was gone, he wasn't in another city, he wasn't in another country he was permanently gone. Dead. Once again Hibari Kyoya was alone, he no longer have anyone to pester him or poke fun at him. He never saw Mitobe as a normal person, not that he was spectacular, he can take a beating and get out alive, he can break an arm and go back to ignoring it, he can be robbed of everything and get it back, but he can't come back to life after having his body drained of flame and blood, and he won't come back to life after having most of his organs damaged. Mitobe was just as human as every other person Hibari have ever meet, and not once did it occur to him that the Informant might be much more fragile than he let on. He broke it. He broke Mitobe, he lost what was probably the only person fearless enough to look at him and say they wanted to be their friend without wanting anything in return, not his strength, not his reputation, not even his status and wealth. All Mitobe asked for was to simply be around him, he never asked for those trivial things, all he asked for up to this day, was for his name to be said, but it's a shame that Hibari had to say it as he sent the boy off to the afterlife. It was a shame he had to say it as his friend as passing on, as he was literally dying in his arms. While Hibari finally saw how much of a human he can be.

The Skylark stood up and brushed the dirt away looking at the blood on his hand before turning to leave, this was his goodbye to the twenty four years old Masato Mitobe, who risked his life to defend the Vongola base and allow the Rain Guardian from the Vongola and Varia to escape, he risked his life on a suicide mission so that the future can be change for the better even if he didn't take a big part in it, and this was the farewell to the Skylark's trusty and loyal Stalker Dog.

Hi everyone~ As you know or do not know~ I uploaded yesterday's chapter without an author's note since it was 2:30 in the morning and my mom told me to go to sleep or else she'll take away my computer...Hehe..he...Sorry about that. It's there now! I promise. So, Mitobe FINALLY died, I know I'm grateful! Who else! We finally got rid of him! YEAH! Haha he was such a loser- No I'm kiding. SOrry if I made it over dramatic, but at least Hibari finally said Mitobe's name to his face only if it wasn't when he was dying...OvO What a perfect relationship. Now, as to the reason why Mitobe dies in battle on a suicide mission, he knew he won't make it anyway so he might as well help Yamamoto and Squalo get away. I noticed that when Yamamoto showed up to help defend against Ghost, he had Dino who was helping Squalo, and Romario and Kusakabe with him which meant they must have arrived together. Bianchi was not there meaning she stayed back with Spanner and Gianinni to help defend the Vongola Base. I suspect that they must have an emergency defense or something since it is a very secretive place. Since Zakuro found the base they would have told the other Millefiores soldiers too, and it only make sense that they send people to help look for Uni. So Mitobe's suicide mission fit in just fine in my point of view~

But hey! He finally confessed that he liked Hibari without taking it back. So it was worth it right? And on the topic of Box animals Dart frogs are pretty cool~ They are also beautiful and deadly, and they poison their victims with the owner's flames, which is why it takes so much flames to bring them out making them extremely dangerous to the user since flames are essential to a person's survival and if you run out chances are you won't be in a good position.
Thank you for every thing you guys you really are amazing. As you know~ I love reviews~ O3O So we are going to do them!

HalcyonNight: BECAUSE HE'S A BAD PERSON!...Carnivorous...babies? But...He's...guy...and...and...Okay. I love your first paragraphs~ It's okay! Don't over work yourself now~ I try to make my characters more realistic and human instead of just being a fictional characters. I know, I feel that way about some villains too, like Enma, even though he was a precious baby! Haha, you got fluff during his death, that's just as good right? Isn't it splendid~?! You don't have to force yourself! QwQ I love hearing from you but have some time to yourself too! I tend to drag out my writing a lot, many of my teacher scolded me for it...SO I wrote a six page essay saying I was sorry...Everyone needs a little Ryohei in their life! He is the SUN after all. I wing my characters all the time~! Sometime you get good head cannons out of it...Fufufu. I don't know, I find Lambo charming but he is annoying sometime but I can never truly hate him since he is the youngest and he doesn't know much about anything, and when he gave it his all to return to the past with Nana I got shivered since it was so sweet. My head cannon is that he grew up without a mother so Nana was the closest thing he had to one and that's why he liked to be spoiled. But more female roles would be nice. I'm working on a Morgiana from Magi cosplay, I have a cloud ring, cloud bracelet, and two sky boxes that were given to me by a vendor for free, I went as Chrome to a convention and...well...yeah :D Free stuff man! I hope you feel better soon. Get some rest and don't push yourself!

PuppetPrince: Ahhh well...You got fluff while Mitobe was dying...so that's close right?

Dood: I'm sorry! It was late! It's up now! It's up now! Mitobe ruins everything doesn't he? XD Well...they resolved it while he die so that kind of work right? RIGHT?! right. The future is changed so the whole Byakuran thing won't happen because Uni helped him changed his way as shown in the representative arc~! So Mitobe would be alive.

Xejis: I'm glad you liked it! QuQ Mitobe is always stubborn he's just a loser like that. Mitobe died...so you know, they made up, slightly whiel he was dying. I loved writing that, it made me happy...The Future arc was the longest one OH MY GOSH!ASAGDYW can't even slowly dying because of how long it was. But I had fun rereading it.I like Byakuran, he's so insane but loveable. I love them all really, I can't choose...(Mukuro) I mean how can I choose (Mukuro) They are just all so amazing (Chrome) I seriously (ALL OF THEM). I hope you enjoyed Mitobe's death as much as I did, I had a hard time looking for a place to put him but I think it fit in okay with out taking too much away from the actual story since it was more of a behind the scene thing.

OkamiAmmy-chan: Hello~! Yes~! They did talk about it! But it didn't end so well I guess. and now Mitobe is dead isn't that fabulous?I think it is...Anyway~ I hope you liked it!

Pineapple Fairy Queen: Sorry It was late so I had to skip it, but its there now! I'm glad you like my after show rambling! OxO HE NEVER WILL NOW THAT HE'S DEAD! HAHAHAHA! WHAT A LOSER! no I'm kidding...I love you too.

Kimichee: Much more development! Only Mitobe died, I can see it now, like on their first date Mitobe's all like, "Hey Kyoya, remembered that time I DIED?" What good times they will have. I hope you enjoyed this as much as you liked the last one :)

PCheshire: Sorry~ He died. But he has to in order for Hibari to realize Mitobe isn't always going to be there for him, even if he hates him. The future, this future is going to be rewritten since they destroyed Byakuran, that means a new one will be made, a much happier one~ :) Mitobe has a hard time cooking because he accidentally burns himself on the pans, he forgets to turn off the stove and oven, and he cuts the slices of food at the wrong sices for example for him to be able to cook you have to be very specific.

Step 1: Cut the vegetables an inch thick.

Step 2: Drop it in the pan make sure you hover about six inches from the pan so you won't burn yourself.

He's a sad sad little man...You just need to explain it in math sometimes I guess XD

That's all for now you guys~ Thank you! send in your reviews! I do love hearing them!

REVIEWS=MOTIVATION=MORE CHAPTERS

See you next time~!
