A/N: This is unbetaed but I promised I'll post the edited version once my beta reader give it to me. I just want to post this as soon as possible to answer the questions of my readers on what really happened to Tsuna. This chapter will explain everything, more or less of the real situation.
Chapter 1 Sacrifice and Beginning of Nightmare
He pushed aside the curtain on his window in order to see the outside world. He just finished his paper works few minutes ago and he wanted more so he could distract himself from the horrible feeling continue to eat him on the inside. Upon seeing the view outside, he frown further. The sky is dull and dark. Just like the atmosphere surrounds him recently. It's quite lonely-
A knock from his door interrupted his further musing and snapped him back to reality.
"Come in."
Tsuna waited patiently as the door slowly creak open and his eyes widened upon his unusual visitor. He didn't expect him to come here in his estate as the other is supposed to be busy with his ordeals with the other famiglias for just a brotherly visit so he could only assumed it's very important business.
"Hi, My little brother! Sorry for interruption!" Dino greeted him cheerfully but Tsuna noticed the hint of concern in his voice which caused him to narrow his eyes with suspicion as he stared at the latter closing the door behind him. "So how are you doing,Tsuna?" He inquired as he looked around at the office of Vongola Decimo where he could possible rest and after a moment of searching he spotted a nice couch near at the bookshelves in the corner of the room and sat there as he waited for the brunette's respond.
Tsuna and Dino stared at each other intently for few seconds before Decimo sigh tiredly and answered a simple. "I'm fine."
Both of them knew that's a lie and before Dino could comment in that, Tsuna cut him in short by throwing another question. "What business do you have with me, Dino-nii? I'm certain you won't come here for just a brotherly visit especially there are uproar in your allied famiglia."
At the time like these Dino would joked around but not now is the time for that since the matter he wanted to speak with the brunette is serious and concerning him alone. He didn't want to waste time as he needed to know the truth badly so he went straight to business and asked blatantly. "Did your guardians abandon you?"
Tsuna rendered silence for some time as he stared blankly at Dino then he finally spoke after a long moment of steely silence. "Where did you get that stupid idea?"
"Tsu-No,Decimo." He corrected with a pause then went on. "I'm not blind. I've seen how they treated you these past weeks ever since that incident and I don't need to listen to those rumors to understand your situation with your guardians." Dino finished with a frown.
"Oh? So there's rumors spreading about that huh?" He asked, brow arching with slight amusement. "Though I shouldn't be surprise about it especially since I'm Vongola Decimo and we're in the world of Mafia. All of us were targets for those judgmental eyes."
"Tsuna?" Dino called hesitantly the young don who's muttering some curses under his breath.
Upon hearing his name, Tsuna return his gaze back to Dino and smiled. "What do you think?"
"Huh?"
"I ask what do you think is the answer from your question?"
Dino open his mouth to answer but Tsuna just cut him off once again. As the latter walked towards him and stopped in front of him, bending down just a little so his face is few inches away from the blonde's face that the other could feel his warm breath then touching his cheeks gently as the latter begun to spoke softly. "Remember that people will always question the good things they hear about you, and believe the bad ones without a second thought. Honestly, I don't need someone who sees the good in me. I need someone who sees the bad in me and still wants me." An emotion flashed in the Decimo's eyes but it disappeared before Dino could decipher it.
Dino continue to look at those beautiful brown eyes but it doesn't have the spark of life like in the old times as if its tired of everything.
"Do you understand now,Dino-nii?" Tsuna's soft yet baritone voice snapped Dino from his trance and focus once again at the other words. "This world is cruel and unfair..."
"Is that supposed to mean you'll leave them just like they did to you?"
Tsuna shook his head gently and smiled sadly at the blonde. "I can't."
"But why?! They hurt you!"
"Like I said this world is unfair and cruel...But I choose to stay with them despite knowing that they seen me as nothing more than a monster because I want to remain at their side even it's killing me but at the same time it makes me happy."
"What are you a masochist?"
Tsuna chuckled bitterly. "Perhaps I am. But there are my friends. No, they are my famiglia. I can't just abandon them even they left alone and continue to hate me it's my duty to protect them from anything that wished to harm them and I will do anything just to keep them safe and oblivious about the nightmares of this world. Yes, Even it's mean I'll become a cold blooded monster in their eyes."
Dino eyes softened and pulled the petite young don in his arms, wanting to give him a bit warmth of comfort and compassion that the others forgotten to give at brunette just because they thought that the latter have changed which isn't. Tsuna will be Tsuna no matter what. He may have killed but there's a reason behind it and the rest didn't want to know and understand the reasons of the young don's actions.
"You're warm...So warm.." Tsuna muttered softly as he embraced Dino as well and buried himself further to feel more human's warmth or should he say companion's warmth that he lack these past weeks. He didn't noticed that tears started to cascade from his pale cheeks. He missed the interaction he shared with his guardians. Although he knew that's nothing more but a fragment of the past as it's impossible for him to feel the warmth of his own famiglia ever since his hands stained with color of sins. Yet he knew he didn't regret doing it. If he have to dirt his hands once more time just to protect them then he'll do without a second thought.
Dino started to stroke gently Tsuna's soft brown locks and just a few seconds the brunette in his arms started to breath even. He had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and stress but more importantly he wasn't plague with nightmares that will left him awake and tired all day long because he knows there is someone still willing to protect him and cared for him despite being a tainted sky which allow him to fall in oblivion without any troubles.
Dino glanced at the sleeping boy in his arms and smiled a little. "If me being here brings you a little comfort and joy then I'll gladly stay by your side to lighten your torment and burdens. I promise, I won't leave you my dear little brother." Dino said softly then kissed his temple softly and he finally went to sleep with the boy, closing his eyes but never intend letting go off the fragile young man in his arms, holding him protectively from the harsh world even just a little moment of peace. He'll gladly give that to Tsuna as long as he can.

"What are you planning now?" A grump voice asked irritatingly at the man before him.
"Nothing."
"Nothing, my ass! You're breaking him apart and his guardians!"
"This is needed to be done so I hope you won't interfere. I know what I'm doing so you don't need to worry."
"You don't! You don't know what you're doing! This will be a huge impact that might destroy the whole Vongola!"
"True it might destroy everything that I established or it won't."
"Then answer me! Why are you doing this? Primo!"
"To know the truth and how far they will go..." He paused as he stared at the red haired man behind him straight in the eyes. "G, I know you were worried but I wished that you will believe in me this time as well. Just let me deal with this , I assure you I will stop when it's already too much for the rest."
" Do what you want." G sigh tiredly and grunted before disappearing in the thin air leaving the founder of Vongola along with the tenth generation boss of Vongola.
Primo smiled slightly. "Thank you,G."
Then he turned his head to the unconscious Decimo lying and chained next to him.
"Decimo, I'm very sorry to do this to you, but this for you as well. I hoped you still find to forgive me with your heart after all of this is over." He caress the bloodied cheeks of the latter before disappearing upon hearing the upcoming footsteps going in their direction.

"Damn it! How could that happen? How could I let Tsuna slip in our hands? This all might fault!" Yamamoto Takeshi, Tenth generation Rain guardian punched the wall. He was fulminating, losing his usual temper as he kicked repeatedly in the same wall which was threatening to crumble under his hits. This is the first time they've seen the easy going rain guardian beyond furious that left everyone in the vicinity that made them rendered speechless including Gokudera Hayato,The Storm guardian could only watch agape as the latter pent-up his rage at the poor wall.
"Yamamoto, please calm down. Destroying the wall won't bring him back, and aren't you supposed to be at the infirmary? Ryouhei won't be happy if knows that you sneaked out of your room and all his hard work of healing your wounds will be fruitless. That's why you should rest for now." Iemitsu Sawada, CEDEF Boss and father of the young Decimo replied softly. He sounded tired, Of course. He will be tired. Who would not? After hearing that his dear son been abducted by unknown famiglia, he rushed back to Italy to give out a hand upon also learning that there's no progress of finding the brunette for days.
"But-!"
"Listen, I am very well aware of the situation, but try and think for a moment. Don't do anything rush that will lead you into your early death and I'm certain my boy will be sad if he found out that his precious rain guardian is already a corpse."
"But for how long! We don't know what they want, nor what they plan to do with Tsuna! It might be too late when we found him! That's why you have to send a search party or something!" Yamamoto anxiety is raising, and the pain of his wounds made him wince. It seems liked his wounds were reopen and he's certain Ryouhei will give him an earful lecture if he finds out.
Iemitsu groaned inwardly for the latter's stubbornness. There's already a search party trying to looked for his son but there's still no good news coming from them as the reports were always the same: 'There's still no trace of Decimo nor his Abductors'. The CEDEF boss was about to say something but stopped himself as a dynamite hits the rain guardian's head but there's no lit from it.
"What-?!"
"Shut up! Jyuudaime isn't weak! So stop thinking something like that! He will be fine because Jyuudaime is the strong! I won't let you insult him any further!" Gokudera snarled at Yamamoto. "So just shut the fuck up and rest! We can't go with the rest as we haven't fully recovered yet."
The black haired rain guardian wanted to retort back but he knew it was no use, so he simply let Iemitsu help him go back to the infirmary. There were being followed by Gokudera. Inside the infirmary the other three guardians were being treated there: Hibari Kyouya, the cloud guardian. Yes, even the strongest guardian is no much from their unknown opponent which make him much more in a foul mood, Next is Lambo Bovino, The lightening guardian and lastly Mukuro Rokudo, The mist guardian. Yes, he was beaten as well and that makes him eager to destroy the minds who abducted the body he was about to possess in the future.
The reason the other guardians like the Sun guardian, Ryouhei Sasagawa, also Mist Guardian, Chrome Dokuro and Rain Guardian, Gokudera Hayato were not injured is because they were send on a mission before the abduction incident.
The mood was terrible, the room was dead silent and everyone of them displaying either a downcast or a frustrated face. But they shared one thing they cared and worried for the missing brunette and they were willing to do anything just to see him again and they'll certainly make the bastards took their sky suffer in the most painful way even worse than death.
Iemitsu knew it was rather futile attempt at lightening the atmosphere, but he tried to smile a bit anyway, telling the Guardians:
"Don't worry, we will have Tsuna back in no time!"
Silence was the only respond to his words.
As he left the infirmary, closing the door behind him, he knew that he barely believed his own words and that's the reason why the others didn't respond at all because there are already losing hope and their beliefs at each day not seeing the smiling sky of theirs.
