A/N – Hands down guys. You totally deserve this chapter! I kinda forget to mention to you guys to review my edited chapter and I hope you did just that….

Am I going to fast? I hope not, what do you guys think? Don't worry, I won't bite if you simply state you opinion! That is… If it isn't anything hurtful. My principal in life is relatively simple: If you're nice to me, I'll be even nicer to you. That goes for vice verse….

Hmm… Well, since I don't have anything better to say or mention, let's roll this thing! XD

I own nothing! So sad…

CHAPTER 3

THE CHANGES

The sound of metal clashes with metal ferociously echoes throughout the hollow world. The young man was hurling back by the red haired girl with an intense force. He quickly regains his balance and just made it in time to move his silver coffin infront of him to shield himself against the giant sword that was powerful trust right at him. He had eliminated all those girl's servants and now he could focus entirely on the red haired girl. He does a massive upwards swipe with his claw and send the girl airborne. He sees this as an opportunity to do a chain attacks, he summon a small circle then summon what seems to be orange spikes to snare then, hit the girl quite badly. The red girl jump back and dash forwards to the young man with her sword aiming right at his heart. He counters it with a giant orange fiery spear that clashes with the sword.

His weapons were his claws and also his coffin. His claws were both good in long and short distance battle since they're able to morph and materialize any sort of temporary weapon. His coffin serve as a both a weapon or a gateway. I won't be spoiling anything for now so back to the fight. Both beings eye each other emptily. He manages to forcefully push her away with a quick half circle uppercut with his scythe that was once the spear. The young brunette calmly walks towards the fallen girl. No morose, no guilt. Just… Soulless. Once he reaches to the fallen opponent, he assesses the damage that he had done carefully. The red girl wasn't too injured, just some minor wounds here and there. She's a very strong opponent. Perfect.

The red hair girl who was kneeling on the ground, surrounded with rubbles glance at her enemy. She had crashes into one of the pillars and her body really felt painful. Her King Saw had fall merely a few feet away where she was. If she move fast enough, the table might have turn into her favour. He notice how the red girl's eyes glance curtly on her sword and he knew instantly what she was thinking. Before she could made her hasty counter, he slowly bend down slightly, placing his claw on his kneecap while the other was extended at the red hair girl. The red hair girl was inwardly surprise because they do not have the ability to express their emotions. She peered into his dark orange circular eyes.

His current position reminded the girl of the blue eyes demon but unlike her, there was one clear message in his hues. It was sincere and patient. The girl realizes that he is unlike the rest of them. Maybe he could par with the blue eyes demon. All the same, the girl was curious as how far his ambition will bring him. Victory? Or just disappointment? The girl was very curious indeed. She finally decided and accepts his pleading. After all, this could be fun.

It was Sunday which means that there's no school. Tsuna had woken up early uncharacteristically. Although his body and mind was well rested, his heart was not. He missed the loud ruckus of the kids and Reborn would made as soon as he woke up but now, all he woke up to was the sound of silence. How he hated to be alone. Heaving a long sigh, Tsuna went for a shower and wore some casual attire before fixing himself breakfast. Nana had thought him all he needs to know about cooking before Tsuna would have to enter to college. Just so he had no problem with feeding himself. T

suna knew a lot about Japanese cuisine and Reborn see this as an opportunity to force him to learn about Italian culinary. Tsuna made himself a light breakfast since he isn't that hungry anyway. Afterwards, he washes the dishes and went to the living room to play some game. Just to take his mind off the quietness of the house. It works, albeit for a moment only. He didn't know why he even bothers playing Need For Speed Carbon since he kept falling down the canyon. Curses! At around 2 in the afternoon, Tsuna left the house and simply wander around Namimori. The citizens of the town were busy about doing their own daily lives, passing him in a blur and slow motion. Without his family or friends around, it feels as if time had stop for him.

How can the Sky stand firm if his beloved friends are not there to support him? Tsuna stop at the playground and made himself comfortable on the nearest wooden bench. He watches at the children were playing tag. Laughing without a care in a world. It made him misses his family even more. "Be back soon everyone…" He muttered dejectedly to himself. The brunette cast his head down on the ground. He could feel the tears were prickling at the corner of his eyes which he hastily try to rub them with his sleeves. He didn't want to look some sort of crybaby infront of the children. But damnit, he just feels so lonely. It feels as if he was suddenly thrown in the cold and dark Abyss with no means to escape. No one to help him.

Tsuna was deep in his thoughts to notice that someone was now standing infront of him. A woman to be exact. "Hey there!" A cheerful voice chirped. Feeling startle at the sudden greeting, Tsuna look up to see a woman short black hair and brown eyes. She also had a beauty mark on her lower left face. She was wearing a pink and brown jacket with an armlet of sorts in her left arm. As well, she wears blue leggings. She was carrying a brown plastic bag under her left arm. "May I sit next to you?" She asks.

"A-Ah, sure" Tsuna reply quickly and rather awkwardly before scooting away to leave some space for the woman. The woman smile gratefully before sitting down. There was some comfortable silence between them for a short moment. Tsuna didn't know whether he should politely converse with the woman but it seems the woman beat it first. "Do you want some orange juice?" She offers kindly with a small smile. She rummages in the brown plastic bag and took out a cute square carton box of orange juice and presents it to the brunette. "A-Ah, no… It's fine…" The young boy stammer.

The woman didn't have to be so kind to him. A stranger like him. "I insist and beside, it looks like you need someone to talk to anyway" The woman continue to smile and allow the juice to hover infront of her face. Tsuna thought for a moment. Well, he did want someone to talk to. It's been a while since he converse with someone other from himself. "Thank you miss…" "It's Saya Irino" She beams. "Ah, thank you then Saya-san. My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi but please call me Tsuna" He couldn't help but smile a little. He pokes the straw into the carton and sips the drink thoughtfully.

The woman, Saya, turn her direction to the playground. "So Tsuna-kun, mind telling me why are you looking so glum and depress all on your own here?" The woman asks casually. Tsuna stop drinking and cast his head down once again. Feeling the cold and emptiness return in his heart. "I-I don't like to be a-alone… Kaa-san… My family and friends are all away, leaving me alone. I feel as if they abandon me here. Without them… I don't know who I am…" Tsuna mumbled. He didn't know what made his reveal his pain to some stranger but he could swear that some weights had somehow been lifted from his shoulder. "So without them you feel as if you're not complete?" The woman asks skeptically. "I-I know it sound selfish – maybe I am selfish but without them… I don't know why I even bother living. I'm no good at everything, weak and a nuisance… I won't be surprise when the people I love will truly leave me for good…" Tsuna sniffled and could feel that tears are prickling at the corner of his eyes again.

At that moment, one of the kids that were playing tag earlier fell down infront of them and spilled her water bottle on the concrete ground. "Ah! Are you alright?" Tsuna suddenly called and ran towards the girl. Saya watch in interest as the brunette quietly comforts the sobbing girl. The way how he patiently deal with the child and put a bandage on the scrap knee truly made the woman fascinated. "There, there now. It's no use crying, alright? Look! Your kaa-san and otou-san are calling you!" Tsuna smile brightly. The child finally stops sobbing and was now smiling shyly. She murmurs a small but sincere 'thank you' before dashing off to her parents. Tsuna got up and watch her go with a happy smile. Not a fake one, Saya noted.

"I don't believe you Tsuna-kun" The woman said.

"E-Eh?" Tsuna reply lamely.

What did she mean that she didn't believe him? She patted the seat beside her. Getting the picture, Tsuna went to sit beside her again. "You know Tsuna, I work as a counselor at my school. You said that you a good for nothing but I doubt that…" Tsuna scrunch his face in confusion. Saya chuckle at his behaviour. "You might not shine in the outside but in here…" Saya lean in and point a finger at his heart. "There's a power unlike anything I've seen before" She murmur mysteriously. "I-I'm sorry b-but I don't understand" The brunette blush. "What I mean is that you have an insanely strong will power and mental strength. More than you let yourself know. So don't be afraid if you come across someone stronger or better than you because you know what they say, appearance can be deceiving…" Saya smile knowingly.

Tsuna was still confused at the woman's words but he felt a lot better now. His heart had healed partially. "T-Thank you Saya-san" He said, continue to blush shyly. Saya chuckle again. "So cute! Anyways, you better go along now. It will be dark soon" She advised him. Tsuna blink once and look at his watch. He yelped when he saw the time. It was almost seven! Wow, time sure does fly. He quickly got up and bow respectfully at the woman. "Thank you for everything Saya-san! I feel a lot better now! Goodbye!" And with that, he dash home before his mother would called.

Saya wave at his faint figure with a small smile. It was true indeed. All of the children playing at the park had been ushered home by their parents. Said smile soon slowly tilt to a sly one. She got up and went to the puddle that had been created by the fallen girl. "So that's him… I can't wait to see how this will turn out" The woman mumbled to herself. "You sought for my help and as I will fulfill just that…" She looks down on the puddle. A girl with red horns and long black hair with the same beauty mark on her face was reflected back to her. "Isn't that right, Black Gold Saw?"

He was lying on his coffin near at the edge of a dangerously cliff comfortably. He was resting for the next fight soon. His burdens had lessened albeit a little. It was comforting to know that his 'human self' was feeling a lot better. It was a good choice calling for the red hair girl. She will be a powerful ally to him. But she alone won't do. He must convince the others too. Everything is for his 'human self'. Soon, he will finally be at peace. That is the vow he had made. The prupose of his existence. He slowly got up, adjust the coffin and jump down to the greenish cavern below. Time to meet the next one.
