CHAPTER 2

MADNESS AT BEST

Tsuna open his eyes and slowly sat up on his bed. He slowly turns his head to look at the clock; It was 3 in the morning. It was rare for him to wake up in these late hours but lately he did. The brunette got out from the comfort of his bed and opens the window to let the night breeze relieve him. He didn't care whether or not there was a sniper aiming at his forehead hidden somewhere under the bushes, he just need something to calm his nerves down. "…That dream again…" He whispers to the night. Every night after he would fall asleep, he would always appear at a white world.

He would be standing under the apple tree looking around confused. Usually the young man wouldn't remember his dreams but that white world… It feels so real. The wind, the sound of the rustling leaves, everything. He would be standing alone in the middle of nowhere. Tsuna glance at the hammock hanging from the corner of the room. He hates to admit it but he kinda missed his tutor right now. Reborn had went to Italy for some secret urgent business from the Ninth himself and his father thought it was the perfect opportunity to teach Tsuna about being independent so he brought his mother and the rest of the kids, Lambo, Ipin and Fuuta along to Italy. Leaving Tsuna alone for a couple of months much to his dismay. He feels unsecure when Reborn would leave him. The now uncursed Arcobaleno was always with him then and even now. But now that Reborn had return to his Adult form, he couldn't be with Tsuna all the time due to certain circumstances.

Now that Reborn and his family are gone, Tsuna feel like he was back to square one; Meaning he was back before he met Reborn. He was all alone again. Now you're probably asking about his guardians, right? It seems that each of them is busy with their own lives. Yamamoto had just gone to Osaka with his baseball team for a training camp for 3 months. Gokudera had gone to Italy to extend his studies there under Reborn suggestion. Although his self proclaim right hand man had repeated apologies to him, Tsuna could see that Gokudera would very much like to return to his birth country. He could see the silent longing of his home so Tsuna let him go. Ryohei was too busy with his boxing club to even drop by and greeted him. Kyoko and Haru also seem busy with their own business. Hibari was just... Him.

As if the Skylark would care about him. He hasn't seen Chrome or Mukuro too. Everytime he would drop by to see how were they're doing, they would always disappear. So Tsuna was left alone. The poor brunette try his very best to calm his heart and convince himself that his friends would return soon and dispel his loneliness but the evil side of his heart made him doubt about their loyalty. Tsuna shook his head frantically, trying to shove the thought away. His friends are not like that! They won't just abandon him after all he had done for them…. Right? Tsuna sigh softly and decide to close his window. The night air just gotten a little chilly. As he closed the window, the brunette saw a figure from the corner of his eyes from the reflection on the window. It was black yet a bit… Brownish.

He gasped and quickly spun around, thinking that it was a killer coming to assassinate him. But when he turned around to face the intruder, there was no one there. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Tsuna was kinda losing his mind? The boy bit his lower lip before cautiously checking every spot and corner of his room for any sign of an intruder; He just couldn't help it. This had been happening a lot recently. Tsuna would always see this strange black figure near him everywhere, anytime but when he really looks at that figure, it would always disappear. His Hyper Intuition didn't sense anything wrong but Tsuna would love a little self confirmation. The last thing he needs is a killer stalking him when Reborn isn't with him. With one last sigh, Tsuna went back under his warm comforter and fall asleep again before he have to face the cruel, harsh world.

Another bright, white world. The rays of white light burn on his clothed body a little but he merely ignores it. The chains on the coffin jingle in a rhythm everytime its owner would walk or run. Despite he was carrying the coffin behind him, he hardly feel any extra weight on him. As if the coffin is as light as a feather. He continues to stride towards the canyon where the whitest pillars were stood at. As he calmly walk closer to the center of the pillars, he notice the grey spots on the ground around him slowly rises up and morphed into some sort of strange hooded figures. "…Intruder… Intruder…"

they chanted softly. Their circular pattern eyes stare at him as they shook. He ignores the hooded figure and continues forward. Upon arriving at the canyon, he saw a girl with red eyes and long black hair with red tips at the end. She also has long red curved horns and so were her skeletal claws. Her sleeve has a red belt attached to it along with two white lines running across just above the belt's line. Her jacket is tied together with a white ribbon. Her shorts are a little bit longer and had more details to it. Beside the girl is a huge sword stabbing the ground. The sword is golden colour and a black saw-edged on its reverse side. It has a long handle with a skull-like object on top and a sawblade on the hilt.

He stops walking once he was standing right at him. They two of them stare silently at each other. The hooded figures surround them, armed with weapons. "…Intruder… Intruder…" They continue to chanted louder. He eyes them for a while before looking up at the standing expressionless girl. Said girl grip her skeletal hands around the hilt of the sword and pulls it out of the ground… Pointing it at his head. He continues to stare calmly at his opponent. Deciding that he had already wasted enough time, he raises his left demonic arm. The blue gem shines and bright orange flames burst to life from both of his hands. He extends his claws and dash to battle with the girl.
