A/N: Yes, I have noticed how short the previous chapter was but I had been wanting to write this chapter for a long time. And just to be sure, it was purely coincidental that this chapter is talking about Felicia.

Even though it's called that, this chapter doesn't reveal much about her, other than how her ancestors and her family got into this mess. By the way, since the Canon-HP world is non-existent, I changed the 'Three Brothers' story.

And I have finally finalized her everything, which you will know after the chapter.

Also some of you might be confused on what she meant by 'can't feel anything'. She doesn't mean in a temperature sense, she meant an emotional sense.


Hane ga nai tenshi wa boku ni itta
(The title appears on screen before changing to show Tsuna with a clear blue sky background. He starts walking before stopping when Felicia appeared in front of him with Reborn in her arms)

(The next sequence showcases Ken and Chikusa showing off a glimpse of their signature abilities before switching to Mukuro with a shadowed figure beside him fighting Hyper Dying Will Tsuna. The next scene is a cut of Tsuna and Felicia with Reborn in her arms again, looking into the sunset before shifting to a montage of the Kokuyo Gang then a vertical split screen showing Felicia's right green eye on the right and HDWM Tsuna's left eye on the left before showing a final group shot of TYL I-pin, Ryohei, Gokudera, Hibari, Yamamoto, Bianchi, Dino, and TYL Lambo in the backgrounds while Hyper Dying Will Tsuna and Felicia stayed behind Reborn in the middle)


~CHAPTER 13: Awakening of Death and Resolve~

"Feli...chan?" Tsuna called as he stared at the girl before him.

"Kufufu." Chuckled Mukuro-Gokudera. "Allow me to introduce the Mistress of Death."

"M-Mistress? Death?"

"Oya, don't play dumb with me. I will admit, I didn't expect for the Mistress to ally with the Mafia, especially with what she is. But who wouldn't want the embodiment of death herself serve under them?" Mukuro-Bianchi said.

"What are you talking about?"

The Mukuros stared at him with hidden surprise, "Oya, do you really not know?"

"Don't even think about it, Mukuro!" Reborn hissed.

That answered his question as 'they' burst into laughter, "Don't tell me you have one of the most feared mage under your palm and didn't know what she is! How naive can you be?!"

Tsuna was getting a bit irritated with all of these.

"Then I'll tell you. Centuries ago, three foolish brothers decided to play with Death itself when they were crossing a river that had claimed numerous lives by making a bridge. Death became furious and cursed their family and their generations to be his Master, to become the embodiment of Death. Since then, they had unintentionally killed off many people. To the point, others called them 'The Cursed Peverell Family'." Said Mukuro-Ken.

Mukuro-Bianchi caressed Felicia's face, "The bloodline should have died off 500 years ago when the last Heiress to the cursed bloodline died mysteriously before her time. But here is possibly the last descendant to that bloodline."

Tsuna gaped.

"Did you know the Potters' are directly descended from the Peverells'? The Wizarding World took such great care to blot out that piece of information and her whereabouts but to think I would find her here of all places. Not only that, but the Vongola Decimo as well? Destroying the Mafia would be so easy."

Reborn's eyes hardened.

"I won't let that happened!" Tsuna shouted as he snapped his whip towards him but Felicia blocked it with her scythe. "Feli-chan?!"

"Kufufu, I have said before, right? I have went through and back from hell six times, thus I have the same aura as her. And as Death itself, she recognized me as one of her own." Mukuro-Chikusa said. "So I should let her finish you off."

Felicia charged at Tsuna with great speed and lifted her scythe, wanting to slash it down upon him. Tsuna narrowly dodged it, yelping as a result. Felicia didn't falter as she slashed wildly at him while Tsuna miraculously dodged all of them.

Reborn also dodged a wild slash, wanting to help but couldn't. Not with Leon at this state.

Tsuna gaped once more as Felicia sent out shadow tendrils at him. He didn't dodge in time as they wrapped around his limbs before throwing him around like a rag doll. Felicia then kicked him in the gut to send him flying towards a wall. Tsuna coughed out in pain but was still able to move as he narrowly dodged another cleave.

The Mukuros were smirking in amusement as they watched the Decimo running around, trying to avoid being cleaved in half. They could watch this all day.

The brunette didn't want to believe in Mukuro. The Felicia he knows is a kind, motherly, mature and understanding individual. The one he had come to love!

Dodge-rolling to one side, he stood up with a determined face, surprising both Mukuro and Reborn. "Feli-chan, it's me, Tsuna!" The girl stopped in her tracks, again surprising the others in the room. "You're in there, aren't you? I know you are! The Feli-chan I know is not so weak to succumb to something like this!"

"Kufufu, you think you can talk with Death? How amusing." Mukuro-Chikusa chuckled.

The girl hesitated before taking one step closer, dull-green eyes stared blankly into his. "Feli-chan has always protected me! Has always been by my side, even when others had given up on me. But you didn't! You have always helped me through my hardest times! So now it's my turn to help you! I may not be as strong as you but I'll try my best! I'll save you with my dying will!"

Then something green glowed above them. There was a green orb above and it shot webs all over the room.

"What did you do!?" Mukuro in Ken demanded.

"I didn't…" Tsuna mumbled, looking up at the orb in awe. "Wait! That's Leon!"

"He finally emerged." Reborn said.

"Emerged?" Tsuna repeated in confusion.

"It's just like when Dino became Bucking Bronco." Reborn explained.

"Oya? Arcobaleno, so this is your doing!?" Ken pulled off a strand of the web.

"Nope. That's Leon, the shaped-memory chameleon. He's my partner. He cocoons himself whenever he senses one of my students approaching a transforming ordeal" Reborn explained simply.

"R-really?" Tsuna stuttered.

"When that student reaches maturity, he emerges" Reborn said, Tsuna gasped.

"That's fascinating." Ken said,

"I was wondering what you'd do in the end, and it's just your pet hatching?" Gokudera said,

"You guys are unique," laughed Bianchi.

"They're laughing at us! How is this going to help us!?" Tsuna yelled,

"Watch" Reborn ordered, Tsuna looked up at the chameleon.

"He's expanding!?" Tsuna gaped,

"He's going to spit out a new item. One just for you, my student." Reborn explained,

"Eh? A new item!?" Tsuna yelled.

"Last time, he spat out Dino's whip and his pet Enzio" Reborn explained.

"So wait, that means…" Tsuna began, "Enzio is Leon's kid!?" (How could that be the first thing you think of at a time like this?!) 'But… if those things helped Dino-san last time… it could be really helpful if something similar came for me! At least something to help Feli-chan.' Tsuna hoped.

"Don't just stand there! Attack!" Mukuro-Chikusa ordered. Felicia charged towards them again.

"She's coming." Reborn kicked Tsuna out of the way, dodging as the scythe came down upon them.

"I'll just get rid of this eye sore!" Ken slashed Leon into pieces. Leon then fell on the ground in blob form.

"Leon!" Tsuna yelled worriedly,

"Don't worry. Leon is a shape-memory chameleon." Reborn assured him, and the chameleon began to revert to his original form.

"By the way, something was knocked up there." Reborn said looking up, Tsuna did as well. Something white glowed above, "Looks like they're safe" Reborn guessed.

The object fell and landed on Tsuna's face, 'Eh? Soft?' Tsuna thought in confusion. "Huh? These are Wool Mittens!?" Tsuna yelled, holding up two mittens. The two were mittens with two red stripes that were parted from the top and bottom, in the middle was the number "27" in red.

"How am I supposed to fight in these?!" Tsuna panicked.

"Never know. Try 'em on" Reborn said simply, Tsuna was confused but did as he was told.

"Kufufufu, you are amusing to the very end!" Ken laughed, aiming the trident at Tsuna.

Tsuna raised her hands to block the attack. Something was hit in the middle of the glove and it pushed the brunette back.

"He blocked my attack?" Ken said surprised,

Tsuna sat up, noticing something cold and metallic is inside. Tsuna pulled off one and out fell a small silver- "Bullet!?" Tsuna yelled.

"A special bullet!?" Ken yelled,

"So that's it." Reborn smirked, "Give it to me, Tsuna." Reborn ordered.

"I can't let you fire!" Ken slashed at the infant who jumped away, Bianchi grabbed at Reborn's arm but it pulled apart and turned out to be Leon. Reborn hopped down when he was close to the brunette and he yanked the bullet from his hands.

"Never seen this one before. Guess I'll just have to try it out." Reborn observed the silver bullet with the small Dying Will flame in the middle.

"I'll stop you here!" Gokudera threw a large amount of dynamites towards Tsuna, who sat frozen.

"No!" Tsuna yelled,

"I give up leaving your body unharmed." Mukuro said. Leon hopped onto Reborn's hand, quickly transforming into a gun.

"It'll never make it." Mukuro said as the dynamites ignited, causing an explosion.

xXxOOOOxXx

Reborn had his gun aimed at where Tsuna was, but his eyes were shadowed. Felicia had jumped back to Mukuro to avoid the explosion and watched as the smoke clouded the room.

"He took a direct hit with those bombs." Bianchi said,

"That must've bust him up a bit." Ken said. The smoke blew away, taking this chance, Chikusa walked over to the brunette. Tsuna was unconscious; he was covered in wounds and his body frozen in pain.

"From the lack of effect, I'd say the special bullet missed. It's over. What a pathetic end." Mukuro in Chikusa said. "Now, let's take his body while he's still alive."

Reborn stayed silent while Felicia continued to watch, even though there was a minute twitching of her fingers.

'It hurts…my whole body hurts…' Tsuna thought in his unconscious state, 'I guess I'm going to die…but that's okay, I tried…I'm sorry, everyone…I'm done for…' Tsuna continued to think. 'I'm sick of it…this pain…this fear…being so Dame…'

"My! Look at this mess!" Nana's voice ranged, Tsuna opened his eyes slightly. "Ah, Tsu-kun went out without cleaning his room again." Nana said in Tsuna's room, holding one of his discarded wrappings. "I'll have to make sure he doesn't do this when he and Feli-chan gets married. It'll be so hard on the poor girl." Nana sighed.

'Kaa-san? Is this a dream?' Tsuna wondered.

"What the heck? Sawada's test got mixed in with the cleaning checklists! And he barely got a fifty!" Hana yelled outraged at home with some small book.

'My language test…' Tsuna realized.

"Well, it's not bad but I know you can do better than that! Especially when Feli is there with you. " Hana said.

'Kurokawa insulting me?' Tsuna thought tiredly.

"Looks like that's the effect of the special bullet." Reborn said,

"Reborn…" Tsuna mumbled softly.

"What you're sensing are criticisms sent to you from everyone in real time." Reborn explained.

'Criticisms? So at my final moments…I have to hear how my life was so Dame…I have such a terrible way to end…how unlucky…' Tsuna thought.

"Hahii! Why is Tsuna-san and the others taking so long? I'm worried about them!" Haru yelled.

'Haru…'

"Nyahahaha, Haru is crying!" Lambo laughed,

"No make fun!" I-pin scolded.

"I-I'm not crying!" Haru countered, she wiped the tears from her eyes, "He's going there to save Senpai and Fuuta-kun! So I trusts him! Tsuna-san, stay strong and save Senpai!" Haru prayed.

Tsuna gasped lightly.

"Calm down, Kyoko." Ryohei said,

"But Dr. Shamal said they all went there…" Kyoko said worriedly.

"Don't worry."

"But-!"

"Believe in him, Kyoko." Ryohei said confidently. "Felicia always believes in him so you should too."

"You're right… He'll be okay. They'll be okay." Kyoko had small tears in her eyes but she smiled warmly, "Tsuna-kun, Feli-chan. Come back safe and sound, okay?" Kyoko prayed.

'Kyoko-chan…'

"Don't make the same mistake I did."

"Protect your friends…"

"Protect your family with your own hands." Lancia's voice echoed in his mind.

'Lancia-san...'

"I don't need to tell you my criticism." Reborn smiled. Tsuna shot his eyes opened, burning in determination. "Oya? So there's enough fight left in you to look at me like that, huh?" Mukuro in Chikusa said, "But your end is here."

But the attack was immediately stopped, Mukuro was alarmed, Reborn smirked. Tsuna's gloves began to glow, Chikusa gasped, Tsuna stayed fierce. His gloves transformed into stronger and darker gloves, an X present where the 27 once stood. He broke off the piece of the trident making Chikusa stagger back.

"Mukuro…" Tsuna growled, "if I don't defeat you… I could never let myself die!" Tsuna declared, a pure orange flame burning on his forehead, immense pressure surrounding his.

"Because you haven't believed until now, Mukuro…" Reborn began, a smirk on his lips. "Sawada Tsunayoshi will be your greatest opponent!"

xXxOOOOxXx

Felicia didn't flinch as orange flames burst from the brunette in great waves. She didn't feel fear like Mukuro is feeling, instead she felt calm and nostalgic. Like she had felt this warm flames before.

"That aura… I see, that special shot hit its mark after all." Mukuro-Chikusa stood up along with Mukuro-Ken, "But when you fought Lancia, you seemed fiercer."

"The Rebuke Bullet drew out Tsuna's quiet fighting spirit. It's completely different from the Dying Will Bullet. That bullet holds a completely new power within it." Reborn explained.

Tsuna then turned to Felicia who stood staring at him.

Mukuro-Chikusa chuckled, "In my opinion, it just looks like you've gone wimpy on me. Anyway, no one can match my skills."

Mukuro-Ken came at him but Tsuna grabbed his face with one hand before elbowing him in the gut, sending him far away from them.

"I'm not done yet." Mukuro-Chikusa used his yo-yos and sent needles at them but he stood unflinchingly.

'That one's an illusion,' Looking over to the side, he sensed where he really was, 'There.' He came at him, punching him right in the face, knocking him down.

"What?!" Mukuro-Gokudera said, "No way."

"He shouldn't have been able to see through the Naraka's illusion." Mukuro-Bianchi said.

Reborn smiled, "It's because he's awakened the Blood of Vongola within him. Hyper Intuition."

"Hyper Intuition?" Mukuro-Gokudera repeated.

"Just like the first Vongola Boss was said to also have it. The power to see through everything." Reborn added, "Even though he still doesn't know how to use the gloves though."

Tsuna walked back to Felicia who stood where she is, hands still holding onto the scythe. His eyes softened as he raised a hand to touch her cheek. Her eyes widened a bit. "Feli-chan... It's time to wake up."

Before they knew it, Tsuna had closed the distance as orange flames enveloped the two.

xXxOOOOxXx

Deep within the recesses of her mind, the real Felicia floated aimlessly as black flames coated her entire body, leaving her head.

She feels cold. She feels nothing.

Then suddenly a bright light shone in the dark void, bringing with it warmth and comfort. She turned towards it as the light, in the form of an orange flame, turned into a person. She tried to remember who this person is. She felt she should know. That this person is someone special to her. Her eyes widened when she remembered, the light shining in her eyes once more.

The person held out a hand to her with a smile. "Let's go, Feli-chan. Let's go home."

Tears started pouring out of her eyes before a smile appeared on her face, the cold nothingness receding away.

"Un, let's go home... Tsuna." She said as she placed her hand onto his, bringing both of them closer as black and orange flames danced and swirled in a mystical dance.

Ah. I have finally found you... My Sky.

xXxOOOOxXx

Green eyes opened to stare into glowing orange ones. She blinked before smiling at the brunette.

"Okaeri, Feli-chan." Tsuna said with a soft smile.

"Tadaima, Tsuna." Felicia whispered.

Clapping was heard as the two teens turned to Mukuro-Bianchi. "Kufufu, simply marvelous. To think you were able to rescue someone from Death's Grip. I'll have to reevaluate you, Decimo."

Tsuna helped Felicia stand up before taking up a stance. Mukuro-Gokudera chuckled, "You're getting pretty interesting. But even if you can see through my attacks, you'll never defeat me. You haven't forgotten, have you? That these are the bodies of your friends? Can you attack them?" He came at Tsuna but found himself dangling in the air, "What?"

The same thing happened to the other possessed as shadowy tendrils lifted them up like marionettes.

"Have you forgotten about me, Mukuro?" Felicia said as she stepped up beside Tsuna, her shadow stretching out like an octopus, with her scythe in hand and eyes glowing an acid-green. "You may have the advantage over Possession but when it comes to darkness and shadows, none is better than Death."

"How-"

"How do I still have control over them?" Felicia asked. "I've always have them, being the Mistress of Death and all. It's due to my parents sealing that power to prevent anyone using me and to help me escape that fate. But even then, the title still follows me around so I had come to accept it as my own."

Reborn smirked.

"Even then, I couldn't undo the seal until you tried to control me. Your powers somehow managed to weaken the seal, thus allowing me some control so I should thank you for that." Felicia smirked as she raised her scythe. "Now get out of our friends' bodies!"

With one swing, she sliced through their bodies like a hot knife through butter, erasing Mukuro's possession from them. The bodies went limp and Felicia willed her shadows over to Reborn.

"Don't worry, I only aimed at Mukuro so their souls are still there." Felicia said. He nodded.

"Reborn, treat them, okay?" Tsuna requested.

"Now, don't get cocky." Reborn said walking over to them to heal Gokudera and Bianchi.

Tsuna turned to the side, "Come out, Mukuro. I know your alive."

"Kufufu," Mukuro walked forward, his red eye shining in the shadow, until the dim light revealed his now alive form. "I admit that your fighting instincts have increased remarkably. But it would be troublesome for me if you got too carried away." Mukuro smiled.

"Have you sensed that there is still a battle skill I haven't used?" Mukuro asked, a sly smile still present.

"The fifth realm…Human." Reborn said,

"That's right. The Human realm, the very one we live in. Of all realms, it's easily the ugliest and most cruelest." Mukuro said.

"Aren't you being cynical?" Felicia said.

"I'm not being cynical. I truly find this realm and the skill repulsive." Mukuro said honestly. "I had hoped I wouldn't need it. This Human realm truly is the ugliest…" Mukuro raised his hand over his right red eye.

Mukuro clawed at his eye, blood poured over it, he clenched his other eye in pain. Tsuna and Felicia's eyes widen at such a gruesome sight. A dark aura surrounded Mukuro, the dark aura transformed into a black glove onto his right hand. His red eye, with the number five, was flowing with blood, some dark scars formed on his face.

"And it holds the most dangerous skill!"

Mukuro was surrounded by such an immense power, the dark aura almost pressuring intensely. Tsuna flinched, "That's one dark aura." Reborn watched intently, feeling the pressure it ensued.

"Can you see this? A warrior who fights while emitting it knows…the size of the aura…" Mukuro charged towards the brunette, Tsuna was ready to defend. "...Matches its strength!" Mukuro swung his staff at Felicia, who was unprepared for the unexpected change of targets as she was sent to the ground.

"Feli-chan!" Tsuna shouted.

"The difference in our power…" Mukuro twirled his staff as he turned towards the brunette, "...is far too vast!" he swung it, hitting his chin. The brunette spewed some blood and was sent flying towards the wall, cracking once on impact.

"Kuhahaha! Aren't you fragile! Just like I thought you'd be!" Mukuro laughed, "And here I'm just warming up." Mukuro smirked.

"I sure hope you were." Mukuro gasped. Tsuna's flame burned through the smoke, Mukuro flinched.

"What? His aura…!" Reborn smirked.

"If that was all the strength you had, I'd be disappointed." Tsuna said, his fist together over his forehead, blazing his flame.

"Looks like he finally knows what the gloves are for.." Reborn smirked, "The X-gloves are made out of the same material as the Dying Will shots. Both came from Leon, after all." Reborn explained. "That's why they can light Dying Will flames. They were made for it." Reborn said.

"You're like a cat trying to look bigger by puffing out its fur." Mukuro said, out of his stupor. "But change your aura all you want, it won't help." Mukuro smirked, as if he had the upper hand.

"Dying Will flames aren't auras." Tsuna said, his tone still indifferent.

"Oya, that's pretty interesting." Mukuro walked back towards the brunette. "Care to show!?" Mukuro charged towards the brunette, swinging the staff down towards him. Tsuna grabbed the staff, without even batting an eye and bent the staff with immense strength.

"Wha-!" Mukuro gasped, Tsuna tried to strike him but he evaded, only getting a graze. 'It's hot! His aura gives off heat?' Mukuro gritted his teeth.

"Dying Will flames and auras have different energy densities." Reborn began, "Unlike auras, which can be seen by certain people, Dying Will flames are super-compressed energy with direct destructive power."

"So those gloves are like hot iron?" Mukuro guessed.

"Not only that..." Came a voice as black flames came at him but he dodged, getting a graze.

'Cold!' He thought before turning to where the flames had come from, only to see Felicia dusting away at her clothes.

"While Dying Will Flames gives off heat, there are special Flames like Felicia's which emits a colder temperature." Reborn explained. "Normal users wouldn't be able to handle the freeze but for someone like Felicia..."

Tsuna and Felicia both ran at him, Mukuro swung his staff towards them but only swung at air.

"They vanished!" Mukuro gasped before sensing two presences behind him. He turned to see both teens. "I-Impossible! When did they…!?" Felicia back-kicked while Tsuna swung a fist at the illusionist. Mukuro blocked the attacks with his staff. But it barely handled the force and Mukuro flew back, slamming against the wall.

"What was that just now!? What did they do!?" Mukuro yelled, his staff smoking from the flames.

"Aren't you done warming up yet?" Tsuna said, his orange eyes showing the confidence burning passionately while Felicia stood beside him, coolly watching him. Mukuro clenched his teeth, but then his frown turned into a smile.

"Kufufufu-kuhahaha!" Mukuro laughed loudly, "This was a fortunate miscalculation on my part. Once I get my hand on both of your bodies, an elaborate scheme will be unnecessary." Mukuro smirked. "I'll be able to directly infiltrate your Family. They'll be a war in no time."

"So that's what you were after?" Reborn said. "The influence of the Potters' and Vongola?"

"Kufufufu, of course not. My goals are not so small. I plan on taking over the bodies of other world leaders as well." said Mukuro, "I will control them and paint this ugly world with pure and beautiful darkness. And who better to paint it than the Mistress of Death herself?"

"So that's your goal." Tsuna muttered.

Felicia stayed silent as she continued to watch, still trying to comprehend the boy in front of her.

"In any case, I must begin by annihilating the Mafia. So I'll use my strongest form to make you mine." Mukuro said as he raised a hand to Tsuna and Felicia. "Behold!" Mukuro used a replication shadow of himself and sent it towards the brunette.

"It's an illusion." Tsuna said simply. "This won't-"

Felicia got in front of him before using her Flames to shield them from the attack, "Careful, Tsuna. He hid real rocks in his illusions."

"Kufufu, as expected from a Witch, illusions are no match for you. But..." Mukuro smirked as he suddenly appeared at her side. "Even a mere illusionist can play you like a fool!"

"Are you forgetting someone?" Mukuro didn't have time to react as he was uppercut in the chin before being brought back down by a blunt force on his back.

Felicia landed gracefully onto the ground, scythe in hand while Tsuna clenched a fist as they watched Mukuro trying to get up again. The Brit turned to the brunette, "Shall we end this?"

"Let's."

Mukuro could only look up to see both Tsuna and Felicia charging at him once more, "Vector thrusting with the flames?!"

"The speed they used to get behind you came from the flames' thrust." Reborn told Mukuro who remembered how the teens got behind him the first time. They grabbed him by the face and pushed him backwards while their Flames purged his dark aura. "Looks like the Flames purified Mukuro's dark aura."

Crashing Mukuro onto the stage, a loud explosion could be heard and a crater is present with the illusionist on the ground in pain. They released Mukuro, and stood away, staring at his sleeping form.

"It's over." Reborn said.

They both nodded as they closed their eyes before opening them up again to show their normal eye colors. Tsuna's Flame dissipated while Felicia's scythe disappeared.

"Yeah, how is everyone?" Tsuna asked.

"No need to worry. The Vongola medical team has arrived. They administered the antidote to Lancia in time too." Reborn said, holding a Leon phone.

"Thank goodness..." Tsuna felt relieved before turning to Felicia who kept staring at Mukuro's peaceful form. "Feli-chan?"

Felicia didn't reply as she stared at the hand that had grabbed Mukuro. She could feel the dark aura burning away from their Flames but due to what she is, she saw other things.

"He's not dead, right?" He asked.

"Geez, you're pretty new to this." Reborn said.

"Don't get too close byon!" Tsuna flinched and turn to the yell; his eyes widen to see the other two Kokuyo students crawling towards them. "The Mafia's not allowed to touch Mukuro-san!" Ken growled, Chikusa grunted as he continued to crawl towards their comrade.

"You were possessed by him and he used you." Reborn said with his arms crossed.

"You could never understand. This is nothing..." Chikusa struggled, the boy still losing a large amount of blood.

"Compared to the pain we suffered back then…" Ken grunted,

"Back then?" Tsuna repeated in confusion.

"...Estraneo Famiglia." Felicia uttered, causing the two to tense up.

"Estraneo?" Tsuna repeated.

"All three of them, Mukuro, Ken and Chikusa, used to be members of that Family, though 'guinea pigs' would have been a better word with what they had gone through." Felicia clarified, a hint of anger audible in her tone.

"I see... The Estraneo Family are the creators of the forbidden Possession Shot, the one Mukuro used." Reborn said.

"You just banned it because it was better for you. Thanks to that, our Family was completely crushed. Our family was cornered and forced to develop special weapons just to survive. And for those experiments, all of the Family's children were gathered…" Ken glared at the ground.

"We went through day after day of cruel tests. There was no escape." Ken and Chikusa's facial expression flashed all the emotions of those memories. Of the pain, the sadness, the torture, the misfortune…the fear.

"That is, until that fateful day when everyone in the Family was brutally massacred..." Felicia said. "...All of them killed at the hands of a young boy."

Tsuna gasped in horror.

Ken's eyes shook as he remembered that day, "He…he single-handedly destroyed that place! He was quiet, no the type of person who stood out. And I think that was the first time I'd even heard his voice."

"Kufufufu, this world is meaningless. I'll wipe them all out."

"It was the first time in our lives…"

"Will you join me?"

"…That we belonged!"

"There's no way I'm gonna let you destroy that!" Ken yelled, glaring at them full on.

"No one is destroying anything." Felicia firmly said. "While I don't accept his ways to deal with his past, I can understand where he's going with this. Mukuro may say he wants to plunge the world into darkness, but that's his way of cursing the world for giving all of you that life you had. What I truly believed is that he loathes the Mafia for destroying every last bit of happiness and freedom he could have gain. But if he only sees the darker side of things, he'll never be able to appreciate the brighter side."

Tsuna gave her a look of sympathy for he knows she's relating to them, what with her broken childhood.

"This may sound odd to you but I would like to give all of you a chance. A chance to live your life as you wanted. Not one of a Mafioso, or of experimented guinea pigs."

Ken and Chikusa could only gape at the mad woman in front of them. They had deliberately tried to kill her comrades and she babbled about second chances!

"H-How do we know you're not just trying to trick us!" Ken yelled.

"Of course it's your own choice. I'm not going to force you or anything. You have plenty of that."

They hesitated to answer as they searched her eyes for lies and deception but found nothing except warm understanding and comfort.

Before they could answer, the doors opened to allow a sort of mist to waft in with three shadows inside. Chains shot out of the mist and encircled around the three Kokuyo students' necks.

"They got here fast." Reborn said,

"Who are they!?" Tsuna asked.

"The Vindice, also known as the Mafia police." Felicia answered.

"They enforce the Mafia laws and punish those beyond the reach of criminal law." Reborn explained as the three yanked on the chains to drag the three away.

"Wai-What are you doing!?" Tsuna yelled.

"Don't, Tsuna. It's not wise to go up against them." Felicia said as she held him back.

"But-"

"This is the law." Reborn said.

"What'll happen to those guys? What about Lancia?" Tsuna wanted to know.

"They'll be tried for their crimes and punished." Reborn looked down.

"P-Punished how?" Tsuna wondered.

"Who knows." Reborn said.

"They won't be getting off easy. Because the world we live in isn't so easy." Reborn said looking up.

Felicia could only stare at them until Mukuro started moving his mouth. The Vindice holding onto his chain stopped to look at him before turning to her.

"Lady Potter, the prisoner would like to have a word with you." Came the Vindice's raspy voice that sent shivers down Tsuna's spine.

She raised a brow before stepping towards the older male. Crouching down to her knees, she waited for him to ask.

"Kufufu, to think I would be defeated by the Mafia of all things... I must be over my head..." He weakly chuckled. "Mistress... while it's not my nature to ask for a favor..."

She narrowed her eyes as the illusionist sent a weak yet clear image to her head before nodding to him, "I'll see what I can do, Mukuro... And my offer still stands..."

"Kufufu, like the Decimo, you're too soft..."

She smiled, "He kind of grows on you..." She then let the Vindice dragged them away before walking back towards the others, ignoring their obvious question.

"Sorry for making you wait. Is anyone hurt?"

The three turned and saw the medics run in with all their medical equipment. Tsuna watched as his friends were treated then taken away. "Everyone…" Tsuna mumbled.

Then Tsuna felt his whole body twitch,"i-it hurts!" Tsuna whined. "What is this!? I hurt all over!" Tsuna yelled, hugging her body in pain.

"That's because the Rebuke Bullet's battle mode is hard on the body. The stress on your body manifests itself as pain." Reborn explained, his usual sly smile on his face once more.

"No way! It hurts!" Tsuna falls to the ground, his body still twitching in pain. Tsuna froze, and passes out on the floor.

"Passed out from the pain, huh? I'll have to train him harder." Reborn sighed as Felicia laid Tsuna's head on her lap. "But he cleared Vongola IX's test. Good job, Tsuna. As for me, your tutor…I'm worn out." He leaned near Felicia's leg and fell asleep, making her smile.

Running her fingers through his fluffy brown hair, Felicia smiled tenderly, "Rest well, Tsuna. You deserved it."

Not far from them stood the same woman in the Victorian dress who smiled serenely at the scene before disappearing in black flames.

Well done...

xXxOOOOxXx

One Month Later,

The baseball field was livelier today, for it was the baseball tournament between Namichuu and their rival. Yamamoto up to bat, the pitcher pitches, and with one swing out of the park!

"All right!" Yamamoto cheered; he began to run around the bases. The crowd cheered loudly, especially the Yamamoto fangirls. But the usual Vongola gang came to cheer their friend on too.

"Great job, Yamamoto!" Tsuna cheered.

"Keep at it!" Felicia shouted. She's wearing a black turtleneck sweater underneath a white vested jacket with a dark-red scarf, white jeans and silver converse.

"You're amazing, Yamamoto-kun!" Kyoko yelled.

"Totally! An extra-large gorgeous home run!" Haru agreed.

"Gyahahaha! It's all thanks to Lambo-san!" Lambo laughed obnoxiously.

"Geez, what is the other team doing against someone like Yamamoto?" Gokudera said blankly while still sitting, resting his chin in his palm, as he stared blankly at the game.

"Huh?" Tsuna tilted his head,

"If you guys don't get your crap together, I'm going to start a riot over here!" Gokudera yelled, holding up a large amount of dynamites.

"Gokudera-kun! What are you here for!?" Tsuna yelled, panicking.

"Calm down, Octopus-Head. There are better things to do when you watch sports." Ryohei said.

"Senpai…" Tsuna looked amazed to see his upperclassman jumping in.

"That's unexpected..." Felicia muttered.

Ryohei stood up and took a deep breath in; he cupped his hands to megaphone his voice and yelled. "Stop playing baseball and box instead!" Ryohei yelled,

"That's wrong too!" Felicia yelled at him.

"Geez, Onii-chan." Kyoko sighed,

"Hahii, he's always so dangerous." Haru sighed as well.

"Quit being stupid, you Turf-Top!" Gokudera yelled at Ryohei.

"Don't be so easy, Octopus-Head! Even if I'm stupid, I'm stupid for Boxing!" Ryohei yelled.

"You're gonna admit your stupidity!?" Tsuna and Felicia yelled.

"Oh no, watch out, Tsuna-nii!" Fuuta warned. Everyone looked confused but a baseball was heading straight for Tsuna's head.

"Hiee!" Tsuna held his head and ducked down, but the ball was caught in a purple baseball mitten.

"Bianchi!" Felicia yelled surprised,

"B-Big sis…" Gokudera mumbled.

"I brought lunch." Bianchi said, this moment Gokudera toppled over in pain,

"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna yelled worriedly.

"Bianchi-san, what do we have today?" Haru asked,

"Special food filled with love." Bianchi said.

"That's still poison cooking!" Felicia yelled.

"I made something too…but it's full of love for Senpai!" Haru pulled out a large box from her bag, lightly blushing at it.

"Lambo-san's taking that!" Lambo yelled as he grabbed the box and ran away, hopping off of Tsuna's head.

"Not for you! I will punish you!" I-pin yelled, chasing after him while jumping off of Tsuna's head.

"Stop fighting!" Tsuna scolded.

"Bianchi-chwan~!" Shamal yelled, coming out of nowhere and launching himself towards the cook. But was stopped by Severus who held him back by his collar.

"Honestly, could you be any more annoying?" He muttered.

Tsuna could only sigh at the whole group causing a scene, 'Why does it always turn out like this?'

"Hehehehe." Tsuna turned to see Fuuta and Felicia giggling.

"What's wrong?" Tsuna asked.

"Nothing, Tsuna-nii."

"Just happy to be with everyone like this." Felicia said.

Tsuna smiled before nodding. Then he remembered that moment after he activated the Rebuke Bullet's battle mode. He blushed in embarrassment, he wasn't himself when it happened as it had been a spur of the moment but...

"Nah, Feli-chan? D-Do you remember when we were fighting Mukuro? When you were still in his control?"

Felicia blinked, "Well, my memory is still a bit fuzzy since all I remembered was me facing Mukuro then blacking out and after that, I woke up to you."

Tsuna ducked his head, "I-I see..." Of course his luck will be like this...

"But..." Tsuna perked up. "I remembered feeling warm and safe, then I heard your voice telling me to go home and then orange light." The Brit then turned to him. "I haven't thanked you for waking me, Tsuna."

"I-It's no problem, Feli-chan! I-I mean, it's natural to help someone you care about-" Tsuna stopped mid-rant when he felt soft lips on his cheeks.

The others had turned in time to see the scene and there were different reactions; Kyoko, Haru, I-Pin and Bianchi squealed, Gokudera still passed out on the floor, Ryohei shouted 'EXTREME', Shamal bawled his eyes out for 'losing his baby bambina', Severus appeared indifferent though you could tell his mind is still trying to compute the development, Fuuta blushed and covered his eyes, and Reborn is sneakingly taking pictures. Lambo was too busy running away with Haru's bento to notice.

Felicia backed away and smiled with a small blush, "Arigato, Tsuna."

Tsuna, meanwhile, is currently turning into a human-tomato with steam literally coming out of his ears. The gang then rounded on the two for more details, with the brunette trying to get away from a murderous Shamal who was being held back by Gokudera and Severus while Felicia is being questioned by the girls.

Reborn, during the whole time, was taking blackmail pictures.

Tsuna laughed, but then he felt something surge through him. He looked behind and around, as if looking for someone.

Felicia noticed, "Is something the matter?"

"I thought I felt someone watching me... Must be my imagination." Tsuna said.

A crash was heard and they turned back around to see Gokudera still passed out with the food Lambo stole on his face, and Lambo crying and being crushed by the bomber.

"Ah, what are you doing, Lambo?" Tsuna lifted the bomber off him while Felicia calmed the infant.

Reborn was watching the scene per usual, but then he looked off to the side to see a mother and son walking by.

"Mii-kun, your brother tried hard. What should I make for dinner?" The mother said.

"Oh! I want Hamburger!" The boy yelled.

Reborn smirked, "You'll be lonely on your own. Come back for a rematch any time."

"You had hamburger yesterday. We'll have it again another time" the mother said,

"Okay!" The boy nodded happily. But for a moment, the boy slowed his pace, "Again…someday…" The boy looked back at the group, a familiar red number six eye looking back. His eye reflected the two teens cooing the crying cow, before walking away with his mother.

Reborn returned his attention to the group, everyone surrounded the two teens calming the infant, some laughing, some helping, and one on the ground with a stomachache.

"It's okay, stop crying, Lambo." Felicia hummed, trying to calm the infant as Tsuna patted his Afro.

"I'm not mad." Haru said, Kyoko, Ryohei, I-pin, and Fuuta laughed.

Yamamoto could tell, even from down there, the laughs and happiness up above in the bleachers, Yamamoto smiled as well. Bianchi could only watch in amusement, as well did Reborn.

Watching the same exact scene is the same woman in black who is sitting on the scoreboard, happy to see Felicia smiling and laughing. But frowned as she turned to look at the sky.

One trial passed. Another one emerged.


Subete ga kawariyuku kono sekai de
(Tsuna is sleeping on his classroom desk when he was shaken awake by Felicia)

Anata to boku dake wa sore wo mite ita
(Looking up, he saw her, Reborn, Yamamoto and Gokudera waiting for him to go home as it's after school)

Subete ga onaji ni mieru sekai de
Anata to boku dake wa sore wo shitte ita
(At a crossroad, he apologized to them for waiting on him which they said it was okay. Not far are Mukuro, Ken and Chikusa with the leader briefly looking at them before turning away. Then it panned to a cake shop where Kyoko and Haru were chatting excitingly about the cakes before noticing Tsuna and the others)

Ima mo kokoro ni wa ne utsuru ONE NIGHT STAR, ONE NIGHT STAR
Ai no uta wa mada ne dekizu ONE NIGHT STAR, ONE NIGHT STAR
(The scene changed to them by the bridge over the river as they walked down the stairs when Fuuta, Lambo and I-Pin appeared waving at them, though Lambo almost fell over the railing)

Soshite yori nemurezuni mieta sora wa hikaru hoshi ga
Kurayami ni aita hikari no ana to omou
(It then changed to show the gang walking along the river while showing Hibari watching them, or the sunset, with Ryohei running past behind him)

Furueru kata daku te wo hanashi sora ni hiroge oh!
Sore kara tsukame yo kagayaku ONE NIGHT, ONE NIGHT STAR
(Finally it changed to show Nana doing the laundry with Bianchi eating a snack before they noticed the gang coming towards the house, whom Nana greeted with a smile. At the back of the group, Felicia with Reborn in her arms stopped to view behind them as if to look at the sky. Tsuna, who had noticed them stopping, stretched out a hand to them with a smile. To which Felicia reciprocated as she held hers in his, thus ending the song)


So one review had said that being the MOD, Felicia should be able to break out of that possession. Well, not much is known about the MOD so that could be one of its strength but Mukuro didn't possess her since he knows. He only put her mind to sleep so to allow 'Death' to take over.

Death is very protective of its Master so if it felt a threat is being a danger to them, it will take over their body to fight the threat off. Just like how it's doing against Tsuna, it cannot tell friend from foe. All it cares about is the safety of its Master. Reason why it went only for Tsuna is because it has felt him to be a greater threat.

And yes, Mukuro doesn't know about her Night Flames or Dying Will Flames at that since not much is known.

And yes, it is possible to purge Mukuro's aura for to cleanse Death is with not Life.

And yes again, Felicia actually holds some authority on the Vindice but not completely, for they only answer to Bermuda. But of course they know they couldn't cross one of the most feared Witch, lest they really see Death. Vindice or not, everyone is afraid of Death.

So I said I will reveal what she'll have, right?

Well, her Short Hand is 13. Her Patronus is the Black Panther like her Animagus. Her Box Animal Weapon is also a Black Panther. And her Box Weapon is a scythe.

Also to describe her Flames: The Night that Watches and Protects All.

She's Tsuna's Shadow, plain and simple.
