Chapter 4

Reborn stood, shocked, at what his student just said to him. After months of keeping quiet, he'll just tell Hibari the truth just like that?

"Why all of a sudden?" Reborn asked, why hadn't he just told him when they were reunited with each other? Why did he have to wait for so long?

"…" Tsunayoshi didn't answer.

Reborn sighed from his student's lack of answer. He placed a hand on his fedora hat while the other was inside his pocket as he replied to him, "Fine, I won't question you…" he paused, "…as long as nothing bad happens to you, you can do whatever you want"

Reborn saw the smile on his student's face, "Thank you Reborn" Tsunayoshi muttered as Reborn returned a small smile to him.

His smile fell as he told him, "I won't question you but I want to know when you will be telling him the truth" his pitch black eyes looking at the man in front of him. Tsunayoshi was silent for awhile then looked at a small calendar on his desk. He turned his attention from the small calendar to his teacher with a small smile.

"This coming Thursday…"

Weeks have passed and since they have won against the Milliefiore Famiglia the Guardians were free to do anything they wanted unless they were called to do any missions.

Gokudera visited Bianchi, along with Yamamoto, as the three of them visited Gokudera's mother's grave. Ryohei continued with his job, serving or being a big brother to Kyoko, who was staying with her friend Kurokawa Hana. Lambo was back to studying along with his childhood friend I-pin. Chrome and Mukuro were just wandering around the streets and were able to gain friends that they called themselves as 'Kokuyo Gang'. And as for Hibari…Hibari has been travelling.

Ever since they have defeated Milliefiore, Hibari just suddenly left travelling to look for his master after attending his 'wounds'.

'Since I've already fulfilled my promise to my new master, I should go fulfill my promise to Tsunayoshi that I would find him, bring him back and bite those who took him away to death' he glared at nothing.

Hibari searched from town to town looking at each child he passed by, wandering if one of them looked anything like his master.

After few weeks of searching, he hadn't had such luck and decided to go back to Vongola HQ to let the Professor see his circuits for it was time for his monthly check-up once more.

gaiaku no oikaze ga

(Until this evil wind)

kiroku no tanshi o kowashikiru made wa...

(Destroys the memory in my soul…)

He laid down on his bed as he thought of plans on how he would be searching for Tsunayoshi. He closed his eyes, heaving a sigh; his search for his master would be delayed for a few more days since the Professor was out of town for the time being.

He started to think about the day that his master was taken

He could see his master struggling from the woman's hold but the woman just kept him still. She turned around and Hibari did not expect that there were other people that were associated with the woman.

"Kyouya!" Tsuna cried louder when he saw that the woman was taking him somewhere, somewhere far away from Hibari.

The woman, though she was irritated, kept silent as she advances to where her comrades were. She then stops in front of her boss and hands the little boy in her arms to him.

"Thank you for protecting him Lal Mirch" the man said, smiling to her while she just nods to him in response.

Hibari couldn't see who the man, who was holding his master. He could only see the man's back and his spiky hair that looked like Giotto's and Tsuna's. Maybe it was Giotto.

"Let's go"

…

Hibari suddenly opened his eyes, 'Why did it suddenly blur?' he asked himself as he closed his eyes once more and tried to search in his memory the day Tsunayoshi was taken away from him.

…

"Kyouya!" Tsuna cried louder when he saw that the woman was taking him somewhere, somewhere far away from Hibari.

The woman, though she was irritated, kept silent as she advances to where her comrades were. She then stops in front of her boss and hands the little boy in her arms to him.

"Thank you for protecting him Lal Mirch" the man said, smiling to her while she just nods to him in response.

Hibari couldn't see who the man, who was holding his master. He could only see the man's back and his spiky hair that looked like Giotto's and Tsuna's. Maybe it was Giotto.

"Let's go"

…

Hibari suddenly jerked up, steel grey eyes widening in realization. He replayed the events that had happened…with an additional scene that he had forgotten before his body turned off.

…

"Kyouya!" Tsuna cried louder when he saw that the woman was taking him somewhere, somewhere far away from Hibari.

The woman, though she was irritated, kept silent as she advances to where her comrades were. She then stops in front of her boss and hands the little boy in her arms to him.

"Thank you for protecting him Lal Mirch" the man said, smiling to her while she just nods to him in response.

Hibari couldn't see who the man, who was holding his master. He could only see the man's back and his spiky hair that looked like Giotto's and Tsuna's. Maybe it was Giotto.

"Let's go"

…

The unknown man takes a step forward with a crying Tsunayoshi on his arms. He pauses for awhile and turns around slightly showing his face. Spiky hair that defies gravity and sharp unknown colored eyes looking at him with a tired glance [1]

Hibari shakily lifts his hand as he covers one of his eyes. He made a disbelieving face.

He couldn't believe that the person he was going to bite to death was right under his nose!

He suddenly stood up from his bed, got his trench coat and his weapon. Hibari got out of his room as he walked tying the belt of his coat and adjusting his tie. 'All this time…all this time his been just right in front of me' he gritted his teeth in frustration.

He was going to visit a certain someone

And maybe…bite him to death

Tsunayoshi was in his office humming to himself happily. He looked at the old worn picture on his hands as a smile came up on his lips. It didn't take a genius that he was happy.

He looked at the grandfather clock, seeing that it was almost midnight. It was time…it was almost time that he was going to tell Kyouya the truth.

His eyes softened as he touched the edge of the picture. He could still remember all the times that he was young with Hibari by his side.

'Ne, ne Kyouya read me a story!' a young Tsunayoshi jumped up and down as he carried a large book with his small hands. Hibari took the book and carried Tsunayoshi as he laid the brunette on his bed then slipping the blanket onto his legs.

He sat on the chair beside the little boy's bed and started to read, 'Once upon a time…'

…

'Waaah! I have a boo boo Kyouya' Tsunayoshi cried, showing the android butler his wound on the index finger.

Hibari kneeled in front of the child as he gently took his wrist were the injured finger was. He placed the small finger on his mouth.

'KYOUYA!' the brunette blushed, embarrassed that another person placed his finger onto their mouth. After a few seconds, Hibari removed the finger from his mouth and placed a band-aid where the wound was.

Tsunayoshi looked at his finger and noticed that the design of the band-aid was a cute little canary bird. He smiled and happily said to Hibari, "Thank you Kyouya!"

…

BOOM!

Tsunayoshi cringed as he clutched his blanket, making a 'HIIEE' sound once more when he heard another BOOM!

His door suddenly opened as he saw Hibari walking towards his bed. The android took the blanket and laid himself next beside the shivering brunette. He placed an arm around his shivering form as Tsunayoshi buried his head into the Skylark's chest deeper. He could hear the steady beating of his heart despite him being an android.

Ba-bump

His eyes was lightly drooping, Hibari's steady heartbeat lulling him to sleep. "Sleep" he heard Hibari's commanding voice tell him. He muttered a thank you before he was greeted with a dreamless sleep

…

WATASHI wa hatasu

(I carry out my mission)

kimi katakiuchi hatasu

(My mission of revenge against you)

Hibari hastily went to their Boss' office. He felt his wires turning hot every step he took, not because it was overheating or anything but because he was ready to kill someone. He could compare what he was feeling when a human's blood was boiling because of anger or something akin to that.

'All this time…' he gritted his teeth in frustration as he saw those mahogany doors coming to view. He pressed the concealed button on his tonfas as a sharp blade suddenly appeared.

Everything turned red when he opened the door as he saw his Boss' back.

"Kyou-!"

He ran towards the brunet, not wanting him uttering his name

'Nobody! Nobody calls me that except Tsunayoshi!' he swung his tonfa as it hit the brunet on the stomach. His body slumped on the floor with a loud 'Thud'

He suddenly laughed at him

Laughed that he has finally killed the man who took his beloved person away

Laughed that the man knew what the feeling was when he was the same position as him

Laughed at how helpless he looked

Laughed because finally…he can finally be with Tsunayoshi

iro naki sekai ni

(In the colorless world)

chiru wa tankou no hanabira

(Scarlet petals fall)

Tsunayoshi heard the door to his office creak. He slowly turned his body to see who would come to him without knocking.

His eyes widen in happiness as a big smile made way to his face. He then called the person, "Kyou-!"

Tsunayoshi stopped as he saw Hibari's body launching towards him, his tonfa with its blades coming out from it.

The brunet gasped as he like felt his body was on fire when his android's weapon penetrated his body. He slumped on the floor, his white carpet suddenly turning color red from his blood. He could hear Hibari's laughter and the grandfather clock ticking ever so slowly

towa ni nemuru ANATA

(You will sleep for all eternity)

nidoto mezamenu KIMI

(You will never wake up again)

Hibari continued to laugh at the fallen brunet's situation. Blood was rapidly spreading form the white carpet.

His steel grey eyes were wide, wide that he finally, literally, bit him to death.

'Do you now know the feeling of how helpless I was when you took what was most precious to me that day?'

He continued to laugh at the fallen man's despair

'Do you know how I felt that I was separated from him?'

His laugh was slowly dying when he saw the brunet not grunting in pain but was…smiling at him

He scowled

'Why are you smiling?'

"kioku to onaji" to

("You're the same person who was in my memory," )

kidzuku namida otosu

(I realize, and my tears fall)

Pain

Pain

So much pain…

Red

So much red…

'I guess I deserved this…' Tsunayoshi smiled weakly 'I was such a selfish and cruel person. Always wanting my Guardians and tutor to be at my side despite the fact they have their own families, making an innocent 15 year old join the war and be my Guardian no less, always praying and hoping that someday that Kyouya would come by my side'

'Oh Kyouya, do you know how much I've waited for so long for the both of us to be together like old times?'

He looked at those wide steel grey eyes laughing at him

'How much it pained me to be separated from you when my other brother, Ieyatsu, took me away from you?'

He could see Hibari scowling at him

'How much I wanted to tell you the truth when I first saw you after 20 years?'

Tick tock

TICK TOCK

The grandfather clock suddenly rang, filling the room its church bell like sound. It indicated that it was start of another day as its pendulum swayed right to left continuously. Tsunayoshi smiled brightly when he remember what it was today

…

"Ha-happy Bi-birthday, Kyouya" he muttered, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth

…

'How did…?' Hibari asked himself. The android's eyes widen in realization, a crying boy's face appearing and disappearing repeatedly from the brunet's bloody smile.

"You…"

Hibari's stopped scowling

"You're the same person who was in my memory"

Water was leaking out from the corner of his eyes as he put two on two together

It can't be…

He shouldn't be…

But weren't they...

He wasn't...

They aren't supposed to be…

Were they…

But they were...

"Tsuna…yoshi?"

A single tear fell on the ground

fuhai
fushoku
fushi
fumetsu
fukai
furikai

(Corruption.
Decomposition.
Immortal.
Indestructible.
Discomfort.
Misunderstanding.)

Chrome looked at the book that she was reading, "Ne Mukuro-sama, why is the world like this?" she asked her android friend/butler as she thought of the war that they just recently won.

"Kufufufu…why are you asking me this kind of question, my dear Nagi?" he averted his attention from the surroundings outside to the purple haired girl on the couch sitting with a book on her lap.

"…" the one eyed girl didn't answer, not knowing why she suddenly asked that question out of the blue.

Mukuro sighed as he looked at the horrible surrounding outside once more. "I guess…it's because of how you humans treat this world…"

"…you all want everything to be all yours. Yours and only yours. Blinded by land, money, power, and fame. Not a penny wasted for anything that is insignificant to you. Not only is power what those poor of an excuse human make this world…disgusting, but also how the human heart and mind works" he paused, glancing at the girl who wasn't commenting or defending at whatever he was trying to say. She just continued to stare at the book that was on her lap, as if she was reading it.

He then continued, "Maybe it's just how society really is…judging those who they deem weird, making them an outcast of society. You make assumptions when you haven't heard what the others have to say on their part…Those, what you call emotions. Jealousy. Misunderstanding. Hatred. Lust. Revenge. All of those kinds of emotions. It makes what this world is now." He stopped, not knowing what to say anymore.

'The human mind is such a hard thing to understand' he looked at the girl's reflection through the window.

She closed the book that she was reading, finding it really boring to continue it.

He saw her smiling through the window, knowing that he was watching her "But it's how we all are, imperfect…Humans and androids alike"

He smirks at her answer

kaerimiru saki ni gareki to gomi no yama

(Spread out in front of me is this mountain of dust and debris)

Reborn held his daughter's hand as he and his family walked peacefully outside their house for the first time in years. His daughter's smiled brightly for it was the first time in her 8 years of living that she stepped out of their house and walked throughout the outside world.

"Ne Papa, what's that?" she points at a random object

"That's a tree" he quietly answers her question

"And what about that Mama?" she asks her mother, who was holding her other hand. Her mother was just like her, the same short dark green hair, and those cerulean eyes with an orange flower beneath the left eye. She bet that the only thing that she inherited from her father was his attitude.

"That's a river, dear" she smiles at her then chuckles when she kept on asking the things she hasn't seen for years.

"Ne Papa, what's that" she points at an object that made Reborn and Luce shiver

"That's a…a bomb" he mutters, not knowing if it was wise that he told his daughter what a bomb is

"E?" she cutely tilts her head to the side, it was obvious that she was confused

"Aria, do you remember the times when you always asked me what that 'BOOM!' sound is?" Luce asked her daughter. Aria nods her head and puts the two together, "So that 'BOOM' sound was coming from this thing?" she points at the fallen bomb, it was a reminder of the war that they just won recently.

"Yes…" Reborn answers for his wife

Aria smiles, "Then it's a good thing that Papa and his comrades won, right Mama? We won't be hearing those 'BOOM!' sounds anymore and fire coming from a distance since they saved us from those who were against them right?" she hugs her father as Reborn pats the little girl's hair with affection.

"Of course…" he looks at the ex-battlefield, the place where you could see all the remains of the war; that his daughter couldn't see

'I will make this world peaceful for you to live in Aria…' he thought, looking at the ex-battlefield one last time as he walked his family away from the place where a lot of people died, fighting for their beliefs.

'…Dame-Tsuna will make sure of that' he looked at the Sky, wondering why it turned red for a moment

towa ni owaranai kikai no ogori

(With the neverending arrogance of a machine)

mizukara no sonzai no imi ni mohaya kidzukenai

(I still have not realized the meaning of my existence)

The old picture of the both of them appeared in Hibari's mind, a black smear covering their happy faces.

'Who…who am I really?' Hibari covers his right eye with his hand, filled with blood.

Tsunayoshi's blood

'What…what I am doing here?'

'What's the meaning of my existence?' he looks at the fallen brunet

'Is this the real purpose of my existence?' he recalls the event that happened not so long ago, and then it was replaced by a memory long, long ago 'Or because of that, protecting him from harm?'

Hibari Kyouya did not know anymore

Tick tock

Sew weylos aryu-fe nez'zolto

Wi-s tina zi-di mor ele-fi ro-eltyeir

watashi wa eien ni aru mono

(I am an eternal existence)

anata no tame ni nando demo soba ni

(And for your sake I will struggle)

tadoritsuite misemashou

(On and on to reach you side)

Hibari Kyouya could remember all the times that he did for him to be able to reach his beloved person.

'I agreed to have a new master'

An image of him a few months ago kneeling in front of his new Boss, kissing the Vongola ring that was on his right finger as he silently swore that he would be loyal to him

'I slew a hundred soldiers'

He was in the middle of a hundred soldiers, all dead. Their bodies either bloody or in a weird angle as they stared at Hibari with hollow eyes. Their mouths were gaped open, silently screaming from the agony that they experienced before going to the afterlife. But Hibari just stood there, gripping his tonfas as he stared at them without any emotions, without any regrets that he had killed.

'I sought for you town to town'

He could remember his previous journey, walking endlessly as the scenery changed from one place to another. He encountered a lot of people, men, women and children alike, not bothering to talk to them as he only stopped for a moment to only look at their features and continued yet again to search for his beloved.

'I…I…I…I killed you…to be with you'

Steel grey eyes widen in realization

genbatsu no samidare yo

(Oh, summer rain of punishment)

kono hito dake wa tokasanaide...

(Please don't melt this person away…)

He shakily grabbed Tsunayoshi's fallen body, silent tears coming out from the corner of his eyes. He never knew that they could cry…

He hugged the body

'So warm…so warm…so much warmth' his shoulders were shaking

'So warm like the accepting Sky…' he clutched the fabric of his back, not wanting the warmth in his body to disappear

He looked at those chocolate eyes, shimmering with happiness…his lips moved, muttering something to him that made his 'heart' skip a beat

'Don't leave…'

Chocolate eyes slowly dimming

'Please Tsunayoshi…'

Eyes that he loved slowly losing all its emotions in it

'I'm right here already…'

Pale skin turning much paler than his, those rosy lips turning purple

'We can go back to the times…those happy, happy times…'

A smile slowly forming, his eyelids slowly closing

'I love you too…'

His hand went limp and slowly made contact with the ground.

TSUNAYOSHI!

kyoukou ni mieru no wa

(Right afterwards I see)

akai akai toki no suna michi

(The red, red sands of time)

kimi no karada dakiage

(I carry your body)

chiri no umi de tomo ni nemurou

(Let's sleep together in the ocean of dust)

After a few minutes of silence, Hibari gently carries the now dead body of his most important person. His long bangs were covering his steel grey eyes as he made steady steps towards the garden, the place where the brunet loved so much.

He wondered why no one saw the two of them when the hallways were usually filled with maids, butlers or the other Guardians.

Time passed by and he was now outside Vongola's mansion, the sky was grey as it started to rain. His feet took him where the both of them would play when Tsunayoshi was still a child.

He looks at the garden with dull eyes as he walks passed the flowers that were blooming. He doesn't care that his clothes were sticking to his skin or the fact that the blood from Tsunayoshi's body was making a trail.

He simply doesn't care at all anymore.

He went into the forest, remembering that there was a place where he could properly burry Tsunayoshi's body.

As he neared the heart of the forest, a black object was coming to his view. He stopped and saw a coffin innocently in the middle of clearing. He was confused why a coffin was there with the roman numeral, X, engraved on it.

He started to walk again, nearing the black coffin. He knelt and placed Tsunayoshi's body beside the coffin as he opened the lid. His eyes widen when he saw a lot of white flowers inside it.

Tsunayoshi's favorite flowers

Hibari gently carried Tsunayoshi's body once more and placed him in the coffin. After successfully placing his body inside the coffin, he stared at his face. Pale skin almost like his own, purple lips but a smile etched on his face. He couldn't help but smile at his peaceful face.

"We'll be together forever" he muttered as he leaned forward and placed his lips on top of Tsunayoshi's

He then leaned backward, getting the lid of the coffin and slowing putting it back to its rightful place. Closing his eyes he told his main circuit, 'Permanently shut off all circuits' a robotic voice was then heard, "OKAY BOSS"

He could feel his circuits slowing turning off one by one as his eyelids slowly closed, but before he could close them pink smoke was coming out from Tsunayoshi's coffin with a loud 'POOF!' as he was enveloped in darkness never to see the light ever again.

End of Chapter

[1] Remember in this part, Hibari's circuit on his eyes were damages that's he doesn't know the color of the captor's eyes. He can only see black and white
