Tsuna's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was back at my room. I covered my eyes as I remembered my dream from last night. What dream was that and why was Akira treating that aurora like some sort of god? I peeked at my clock.

'2 AM' I just sighed. I woke up too early because of that dream. I stood up and looked outside the window. The whole neighborhood was solemnly quiet. I changed clothes and headed outside. I was careful to not make any noise. I might wake up Mama and Gokudera-kun. I decided to just stroll around.

It's so quiet during the night. It's like nobody cares anything about the world. I looked up and saw a starry sky. I wonder…if there will come a time when all of us would be together again…No mafia, no violence, no assassins, and just pure fun. I just chuckled suddenly. Like that would happen, I'm a direct descendant of Primo, grandson of Nono, son of the head of CEDEF, had the top hit man of the world as a tutor and became the Decimo. My whole life will be centered around mafia no matter what I do.

I pocketed my hands and continued walking. They were right. I only joined the mafia just to have the power to protect my friends. I'm constantly wishing for the time where we don't have to join all of these and just live a peaceful life but…the mafia gave me a reason why I'm still living my life. If Reborn didn't come, will I still be the Dame-Tsuna from before and live a life of ignorance? Will I still have Gokudera-kun and the others at my side if I wasn't a descendant of Primo?

I walked over the park and sat at the swing. Thinking hurts…What will be my next move now? Gokudera-kun lost his mother for me. Chrome left Mukuro for me and Hibari…I don't even know if he lost something just to join me. Maybe he just joined with me because he gets to fight Reborn. Hibari is always looking for a good fight.

Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. I immediately changed to my Hyper Dying Will Form. If you haven't noticed yet I can change to it easily without any pills or anything. I stood up and backed away from the presence. I just saw Chrome materializing there.

"Chrome?" I immediately turned back to normal. She was clutching her trident tightly. She also was crying. Why is she crying? Mukuro won't even allow her to be sad or be upset last time I checked.

"Bossu…Mukuro-sama…He-he" She immediately knelt and let her trident fell to the ground with a clunk. I went to her side and helped her stand.

"Chrome, What's wrong? What did Mukuro do to you?" I asked her gently. She looked like she'd break down anytime.

"Mukuro told me that he didn't need me anymore and that it was best to leave Kokuyo Land if I will continue to be by your side." Her sobs toned down. How can Mukuro do that? I know that he's at Akira's side but does he even have to kick Chrome out of her home? This made me fuel my anger to the brim. Akira will only lead the Vongola just like Secondo. A cruel mafia family that will kill anyone who stands in their way. I clenched my fist hard. No matter what happens I have to take back my title.

"Bossu…" I turned my head to her and she immediately tensed. Why did she? Is there an enemy? She immediately hugged me. Why did she hug me? Is there something wrong?

"Bossu…" She started crying again and hugged me tighter.

"Please, no matter what happens…Don't change. Everyone already changed for the worse because of Akira and I can't have you change, too. You're the only one I have left." I was shocked. That's why she tensed up earlier. I was too absorbed in my anger that I forgot the reason why I even joined the mafia. I put my hand on her head and started patting it lightly.

"I'm sorry, Chrome. I was too blinded by my anger earlier. Don't worry I won't change. I'll stop Akira and all of us will be together again." I stood up and held out my hand to her.

"Let's go home, Chrome. We have a long way ahead if we want to stop Akira, you know." I smiled. It's been a long time since I smiled a fond one that's not forced. She wiped away her tears and held my hand.

"Hai, Bossu" She also stood up when we heard rustling at the bushes. A cat suddenly pounced on me.

"Argh! Uri!" Gokudera appeared from the bushes and tried to get Uri which resulted in him getting scratched a few times.

"Gokudera-kun?" Why is he here? Isn't it supposed to be just 3:30?

"I'm so sorry, Jyuudaime if I followed you without permission but an assassin might ambush you or if that bastard planted some spies. I can't help but worry so I followed you. I'll accept any punishment" He immediately bowed. Really, he doesn't need to bow if he's just concerned with my wellbeing.

"Gokudera-kun, you don't need to bow also you don't have to say sorry. I'm supposed to be the one saying that for I was acting such an idiot these past few days. I hope that you'll be able to forgive me" I was acting such a pessimist. I completely forgot that Gokudera keeps worrying about me. He just waved his hands around as he got flustered.

"Jyuudaime, you don't need to apologize to me. It's my fault because I'm not the ideal right-hand man for you…I'm the one acting as an idiot not you, Jyuudaime." He looked down. Guilt and regret was evident in his voice. I felt Chrome held my hand tighter. I walked over to Gokudera and held his hand. He looked at me confused. I just smiled.

"Gokudera-kun, Chrome, I know that I am selfish to say this but will you be by my side until the end? I'm not a good boss but I'm willing to improve if you guys are by my side." I'm too scared. Too scared to be alone. I'll break down if I'm alone. I'll die if I'm alone. I need my guardians to be with me and that's why I'm so selfish. I want them to help me if I fall. I will help them if they fall. I want everyone to be happy.

"Jyuudaime, you don't have to ask me of that. I will stay by your side until the end no matter what the costs." Gokudera told me.

"Bossu, don't worry about it. I'll be at your side no matter what happens" Chrome told me. I just smiled at them. I really am too selfish but that's why I want everyone to be together again.

"Thanks, but can we go to the store first? I want to buy something because Chrome will be staying with us"

"Of course, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera-kun agreed. He's back to normal. He was keeping those feelings inside just to not bother me. It's reassuring to say that he already let it all out.

"Bossu, can you cook rice balls again? Your rice balls are tasty" Chrome requested. Both of them really are back to normal. Though my rice balls are kinda not good. I just laughed nervously.

"Ahaha, my rice balls are not that tasty but I'll make some if you want" I rubbed the back of my head.

"Nonsense! Your rice balls are the best, Jyuudaime!" Gokudera exclaimed. He's always at my side no matter what happens. I looked at the sky once more. I will do my best for us to be together again. I continued walking as the moon gleamed.


Akira's POV

One more month, that is all I need for my Deus to be my side again. I walked to my room and closed the door shut. I immediately put my hand on my mouth as I coughed. I looked at my hands and saw stains of blood. I went to the bathroom and washed my hand. I'm using too much flames. At this rate, I'll die before long. I limped toward my bed and lied down.

A month, I'll need to last until then. I'll need to hurry before he remembers. I was too late when Checkerface met Tsunayoshi. He already finished the transfer by then. I'll need to think up of a way to persuade him somehow but taking his hatred towards me for account. It's impossible except…

I looked outside the window and remembered the guardians. Tsunayoshi will do anything to protect them. I'll be able to manipulate him this way and regain some of my flames in the process. I used too much flames on freezing Checkerface but it was needed. He is not an enemy to be underestimated. Bermuda is already the proctor of the Arcobaleno pacifiers and Checkerface will be back soon. I did destroy him using a larger amount of flames than his but now I'm taking the price for it.

Now what shall I do for Tsunayoshi to surrender to me?
