This is the first time I've had to do this, but I sort of have to for this chapter.
It is a very emotional chapter, and explains a lot of what the other chapter did not. Its going to be broken up between past and present; Italics being the past and Regular being the present. You'll know how far back in the past all of this is by the context.
Warning: Mentions of rape.

"Hey, what's your name?"
"M-Me? I-I'm Tsunayuki..."
"What? No last name?"
"I- . . . No. Not anymore."
"Really? Well, my name is Byakuran Gesso. It's nice to meet you Tsu-chan!"
"I-Its nice to meet you too Byakuran-kun."
~.-.~
Giotto was ready to send Byakuran to the deepest, darkest level of hell the moment he heard his precious little sister utter those three words. . .
"Who are you?"
He needed no other reason to attack the white haired man as he saw red flash in his eyes and he unconsciously went into Hyper Dying Will mode. He wouldn't hear any arguments from his guardians, and he wasn't expecting any either.
Tsuna had been moved to the side of the room to avoid Giotto's burst of flames and utter fury. Internally, she was battling with herself, trying to come up with a way to get back control of her body. She could see and hear everything, but her body would not move and her words would not come out. She was being controlled, through-and-through, and was powerless to stop it. She wanted to collapse to the floor from the pain in her feet but she couldn't; Not when her body would not allow it.
The room had already been destroyed; Windows were shattered and walls were broken down. And yet, she couldn't do anything to help, and it angered her even further. Each Vongola guardian was fighting with their Millefiore counterpart as she just stood there, watching helplessly as her friends – her family – fought for her sake. She hated the feeling of being so helpless. She couldn't understand why all of this had to happen to her in the first place. She hadn't asked for any of this, and couldn't remember doing anything to deserve it, and yet, here she was, motionless and forced to watch her family fight for her sake.
Giotto was battling fiercely with Byakuran, and the others with guardian's of the same flame. Enma and Cozart were fending off lower grunts who tried attacking the guardians' backs.
Tsuna wanted nothing more than to fight alongside them, but in her condition, she knew it wouldn't be possible. She was just too scared and her feet were hurting so much. It wasn't like Byakuran had simply drugged her and placed done something to control her body. He had steps – Torturous steps that made her inwardly cringe in fear around him. She wanted to fight, but her fear of Byakuran was too much for her. Every time she was brought to him, forced to sit on his lap or have him dress her up; Every time he played with her and talked to her, she wanted to scream and run. She wanted to hide from him and never leave the hiding spot she had found. She had never felt so much fear before, and now it was overwhelming her. Only a month with him and Tsuna knew that Byakuran wasn't someone anyone could beat. Taking control of her was a simple task for Byakuran, especially when she chose to enclose herself in her mind, not knowing that she would be overtaken.
~.-.~
When she woke up, Tsuna found herself with her wrists and ankles tied to the posts of the bed, and her heartbeat rose when she realized she couldn't get out of it. Her clothes had been replaced by a plain white sundress and her hair was combed neatly around her. She lifted her head to find herself in a large room on a white bed in the middle of it. No windows and there was only a bathroom and a closet filled with clothes in the spacious room. No other furniture was there, other than the chair beside her bed.
She tensed, now seeing the familiar white haired man sitting in the chair beside her bed. He was simply smiling down at her, a fox like grin on his face as she tried to edge away from him, only to be stopped by the ropes holding her down, burning her skin every time she twisted her arms or legs. She winced in pain and stopped her movements and chose to watch him, making sure he wasn't going to try anything strange.
"Done trying to struggle?" He asked. Tsuna didn't respond and chose to just stare at him cautiously. "No response I see. How mean~ And here I was hoping we could have a nice chit-chat."
"What do you want with me?" She asked.
"What do I want?" Byakuran looked thoughtful for a second before going back to his grinning face, staring down at her with emotions Tsuna couldn't understand. She didn't know why he was looking at her with so much want and she knew she wouldn't like it. She could hear the voice in the back of her head telling her to run, but she was unable to do so. Right now, she was completely at his mercy, unable to exit even if she wanted to. "Isn't that obvious? I want you."
"But why me? Is it because of the Vongola? I have nothing to do with them!"
"Wrong," he said, his eyes darkening for a moment. "You have more power over Giotto than you think. Even so, the Vongola really isn't why I want you. You are simply... Interesting. You interest me, and whether or not you were related to Vongola, I would have taken you eventually. You being a part of Vongola was just an upside, and it would have been better to let you get closer to them before I ripped you away. It was more amusing that way. Plus, if I really wanted, I could have destroyed the Vongola by now."
"Then why? Why wait until now?!" She could feel her anger rising, but the glint she saw in his eyes scared her. She wanted to follow the voice's instructions and run, but she couldn't. It was warning her, telling her to get away, but it wasn't working.
"It'd be smart if you didn't raise your voice with me Tsunayuki-chan," he warned her. "It'd be awful to see that mouth of yours stitched closed."
Tsuna's eyes widened at the threat but she wouldn't falter. She needed answers, and to find a way to escape.
"Remember this Tsunayuki-chan, you are in my territory now. You can't even lift a finger against me, and I'd advise that you didn't try. I would rather not hurt you." Byakuran reached over to her. Tsuna tried to move away, but she could only get so far before his hand held her cheek firmly and turned her head to stare at him. "You have such a pretty face you know that? I've always wanted to hold you, since the first time I saw you 10 years ago. You've become so much more beautiful since then, so perfect, although that stubbornness of yours could use some work." He began to caress her cheek, his thumb stroking it almost lovingly and Tsuna wanted to throw up. He had been watching her; Stalking her, and she never knew.
For ten years.
"Don't touch me," she spat at him. His eyes were shadowed by his long bangs and his smile faded, forming into a scowl. "Get away from me."
"White suits you. The color of the angels. Its such a pure color, a symbol of innocence and humility. I think it suits you quite well."
"Don't change the subject!" She immediately regretted yelling those words as his hand moved to cover her mouth, squeezing her cheeks, and the other pulled at her hair, lifting her head of off the bed and pulling it closer to his as he leaned down to stare at her.
"Didn't I say not to raise your voice at me Tsunayuki-chan? You really are being quite disobedient. Maybe a little punishment is in order, hm?"
The next thing she knew, he was on top of her, his legs between hers and her clothes removed. A cloth in her mouth to stop her from screaming out as he continued on with his punishment. Had she known it would come to this, she would have never raised her voice in the first place. Tears endlessly ran down her cheeks as she tried to get away from him, her ankles and wrists becomes red from her struggles. She screamed for someone, anyone to take his monster away from her and save her, but no one came. No one came to save her, and she could do nothing against it.
~.-.~
Asari was fighting against Bluebell, slashing his sword at her with accurate precision, and each one she managed to dodge.
G was going against Zakuro, who was dodging most of his arrows, some managed to either hit or scratch him, though Zakuro made no sign of being affected by them.
Lampo was helping Asari, since Byakuran had yet to find a lightning guardian. His lightning would be useful against Bluebell's rain flames, if they managed to hit her.
Knuckles had discarded his 3 minute limit and was fighting relentlessly against Daisy, who had dropped his stuffed animal and was now attacking Knuckles with speed Tsuna had not seen before.
Daemon was equally matched with Torikabuto, both using their illusions to fool the other. Torikabuto's fighting ability was low, which gave Daemon the advantage with his scythe, but Torikabuto was quick enough to avoid most of the attacks.
Alaude and Kikyo were fighting without a pause, showering each other with none stop attacks. Neither looked out of breath or ready to give up, but both of them sported multiple wounds, though it clearly wasn't stopping them.
Cozart stopping more grunts from coming at them, stopping them with his Earth Flames and flinging them back, but more kept coming, and the ones that had fallen got back up and continued with their attacks.
Enma had left Cozart's side to hold Tsuna who had finally fallen from the pain in her feet. He was shaking her lightly, hoping for her to wake up from her trance and act like she had before. But she wasn't in a trance. She simply had no control over her actions, though for some reason, her actions were now following her thoughts.
Her eyes were wide, fixed on Giotto's and Byakuran's battle before her. Byakuran sported fewer wounds than Giotto, who was panting and sweating profoundly. Byakuran was clearly over powering Giotto, and it worried her. It scared her to her very core, that not only Giotto, but all of her friends were getting hurt. She couldn't stand seeing them hurt, because it gave her a painful feeling in her chest, as if her heart was being ripped out.
She drowned out Enma's worried cries as tears began to stream down her cheeks. His words had caught the attention of others, the fighting had stopped, and most were now staring at her with wide eyes.
"Tsu-chan? Oh my, you've done something quite bad now. I'm going to have to punish you again when this is all over."
~.-.~
The moment the maid untied her from the bed to go to the bathroom, Tsuna made a dash for the door. She ignored the woman's screaming in favorite of running as fast as she could, avoiding all grunts she saw.
Weaving through every hallway, she soon reached a flight of stairs leading down, and she hoped they would lead to an exit.
A few hallways more and she could see the large doors ahead of her, and tried to speed up, ignoring the protest her legs were shouting. She ignored the voice in her mind, telling her to run back, but she was too determined to run out of those doors that she failed to notice a door on the side open.
A rough hand grabbed her wrist and threw her down to the ground. She winced from the pain in her backside and her injured wrist. She tried to get back up, but the foot that harshly connected with her stomach knocked the air out of her lungs and sent her crashing back to the ground.
"I told you to be good didn't I? It seems our recent sessions together haven't completely gotten through to you."
Her eyes widened and she began to shake violently under the foot holding her down. She started up with frightened eyes at the white haired man above her, a deep scowl on his face as he dug his heel into her.
"No. I won't break one of your ribs. That would be too kind." He removed his foot from her stomach and walked around her a bit before stopping at her feet.
"You tried to run away from me. Such actions won't be tolerated, I hope you know."
Byakuran's scowl turned into a faint smirk as he stared down at her once more. She returned his gaze, her eyes reflecting her fear completely.
"I'll have to make sure you can't run anymore, won't I," I said as he slammed his foot into her calf. She screamed as he repeated the action various times before moving on to the next leg. Each stomp hurt more than the last, and she soon felt him stop, leaving her a crying mess on the floor.
"We aren't done yet Tsu-chan," he whispered. He grabbed her ankles and dragged across the floor to the stairs, walking up them with her ankle still in his hand, dragging her up the stairs. At the top, he released her, taking in her heavily bruised legs and lightly bruised face and arms. He picked her up bridal style and held her close, noting as she stopped struggling and simply cried in his arms, tense and trembling.
"You've hurt my feelings Tsu-chan. I can't believe you'd run from me like that." He walked to her room and entered, kicking open the door since his arms were occupied. He made a mental note to kill the maid he had put in charge of his doll for letting her go so easily. "You should know better than to run from me like that."
Byakuran placed Tsuna on the bed and watched as she immediately curled into herself as he got on top of her. "You've been so bad, you know?" he whispered to her. "I'm disappointed in you."
From there on, Tsuna couldn't remember what happened next other than the pain she felt at her feet and her rear. The next morning she woke up the same, finding herself unclothed, though this time, her feet were bandaged.
~.-.~
"Get away from her!" Giotto yelled. Byakuran had thrown him into another wall, and he barely had any strength left to get up from there.
Tsuna had realized her mistake that she had control of her limbs again and curled up in a ball, edging closer to Enma the more Byakuran advanced. Enma had already lit his Earth Flames to use his gravity against Byakuran, but it didn't seem to be having as much effect as he had originally hoped for.
"Get away from her!" Enma picked her up and ran away from the white haired man, seeing as his powers were having little affect on him. "I won't let you take her again!"
"Take her back you mean? She's mine, before you even met her. She belongs to me, and she knows that." Byakuran advanced to the point where Enma was backed into a wall, Tsuna's form clinging to him tighter than ever. "Now give her to me."
Tsuna's eyes dilated more and more the closer Byakuran got to her, and the others in the room felt their bodies go numb, unable to do anything as he made his way towards her. They could only watch silently as he did so, noting her terrified expression. Her lips quivered and her entire body shook violently. Enma could do no more for her as Byakuran stood in front of them, arms extended towards her.
Byakuran placed a hand on her cheek, but hadn't expected the reaction he got. No one expected such a reaction, and they could only watch with wide eyes as the girl finally burst.
"AHHHH!"

Another cliffy. :p
Not going to lie. This chapter broke my heart. Killed me. It pained me so much to write this, but I did anyway.
Thank you to: UnfadingPromise, ilovefonandalaude, PetiteSkylark, cancer718, Lady Syndra, 18, BrokenBlackCat, Hayate No Shinigami, Momoxtsuna, Tinayoshi sawada, Rikkai and hyotei lover, Hamano Chiaki, and CrimsonSkyTamer. I'm so glad you have all (or at least most of you) have kept up with this story and reviewed every chapter. It really makes me really happy.
Now to clarify some things.
1. I'm not mad about asking about A27. I just want to remind all of you that this fic was not really intended to ever have a pairing, so adding A27 to it is a bit difficult, considering they barely ever talk. However, I can assure you that there will be some in the next few chapters.
2. Constructive criticism is very much appreciated. Actually, its loved. ACTUALLY if anyone is up to being my beta reader for this story, I'd love you even more. Please PM me if you are interested!
3. Let me explain what's going on. Chapter 15, Tsuna got kidnapped. Chapter 16 was about a month after Tsuna got kidnapped. This chapter is a mix of right after chapter 16, and flashbacks of what happened to Tsuna during that month. Poor little Tuna got raped. Various times. It breaks my heart to write that, but I did. Sorry Q-Q
4. The first flashback at the very beginning of the story was 13 years ago, when Byakuran and Tsuna first met. More of that will be explained in the next chapter.
Okay then, uh...
*hides behind a wall* Some of you may not be happy with this but...
Forgive and Forget is nearing its final chapters.
Yes, my baby is almost all grown up. Sorry folks, but it is. I can't say exactly how many more chapters it has left, but I can say its less than 10.
Okay! Well then, that went well right?!
I apologize for my inactiveness. Its just been a really difficult time for me lately, with things at school and at home, so I hope you can understand the reason for why this is so late.
