"It seems even in your comatose dreams I can reach you Tsunayoshi Sawada. Try to hide again and you will fail."

Chapter 1: The Changes Fate Brings

Tsuna woke up early that morning almost as if he couldn't sleep with the thoughts in his mind. Sleeping next to him was his lover Hibari Kyoya, the male didn't wish to move much at the risk of waking him up. 'It's better if he just remains asleep.' Tsuna smiled and leaned to kiss Hibari lightly before climbing out of the bed. He didn't want to go but it was the only way to save them everyone who he held close to his heart. Nothing else would happen to them after this but the sacrifice had to be made. The male took a step towards the door turning to look at Hibari as he slept there. This was the one time he hadn't disturbed him when moving, he must have still been exhausted from the day before. "I'm sorry Kyoya look after the others for me." He closed the door carefully behind him he would have to sneak out without alerting the other guardians. He had a feeling they would figure it out anyway but by then it would be too late for them to get involved. Tsuna's hand went to the rings on the chain around his neck, one was his Vongola ring the other one was a gift from Hibari. The male who was hopefully still sleeping at home had one exactly the same around his neck.

It was part of why Tsuna found this so hard to do, but in the end he knew he had to. For the man he loved along with the other guardians. No one else would get dragged into this he would take him down on his own. 'Thank you for everything.' With that last thought he walked towards the outskirts of the town. This way no one would get involved in the town it would just be the two of them. "Kufufu It seems you are late Tsunayoshi Sawada." The brunette didn't turn at the sound of that voice it was the reason why he was here. He just had to keep his focus letting his hands fall from the chain around his neck. "You know why I am here Mukuro Drop the act." Tsuna didn't glare at the mist guardian it would be pointless to do so, he had to do something here. Mukuro most likely knew what he was here to do even if he acted completely clueless. "Oh do I know~ Refresh my memory. " Mukuro smirked looking over the brunette that stood on the ground in front of him.

He did know but this was all part of the game if Tsuna really cared about them then he would do whatever it took to save them. "Release them Mukuro I do not have time for your games." Tsuna knew his friends would die if he didn't get him to release them soon if he had found out sooner the outcome would not have changed. "You know my price to do that Do not think you will get it for free." The male shook his head these games with Mukuro were annoying to him but he had no choice in the matter.

"You told me that to save that I had to take on the curse you gave them then so be it Mukuro." He knew that if the others were here they would have told him no which was why he refused to tell them. Though in his heart he had a feeling they all knew something was up and would try to stop him soon. He just had to hope it would be way too late for them to stop him. In his mind it was better that he be the one to suffer under this then for it to be them. Tsuna would no longer be no good Tsuna who couldn't do anything for anyone. He was no longer planning to run away from the fate that was before him.

No matter what the cost would be to his body and soul, or even if it made him lose his mind he was prepared for it. "As you wish do not forget that you asked for this." Mukuro jumped down the mist that was covering the place seemed to be falling away. As he walked towards Tsuna he had a feeling they would soon be interrupted by those annoying Guardians of his.

~POV Switch to the Guardians~

It was just a split second but each guardian felt a jolt run through them as they sat up in bed. Lambo fell onto the floor and started crying which woke up Gokudera along with Yamamoto who had been sleeping in the room right next to his. One by one they walked out of the rooms they shared to meet each other in the hall. "Where's Tenth!" Gokudera slammed Hibari against the wall, it was a bad idea to let him stay with the Tenth after all but no one had listened to Gokudera. Now look what had happened he was gone and something was wrong. "Now Now Gokudera! Hibari this isn't going to help anything we have to find Tsuna." They all had a feeling of where he might be, but they had focused on fighting rather then that feeling.

"We all have that same feeling of where Tsuna is right...then let's follow it instead of fighting with each other!" He probably was more of the one to talk sense into things then the others specially with Tsuna not being here. Gokudera just huffed but gave a slight nod they had to find Tsuna it was more important then fighting with each other. They jumped out the window in Tsuna's room one after the other to follow the Tenth's trail.

'Tsuna what are you planning?' Hibari thought as he jumped out the window following the others, the only reason he would was because of Tsuna. No one needed to know of the thing he had asked Tsuna just before he had left for the mission the day before. The Cloud Guardian just wanted to bring him back home in one piece that was his job and maybe even his wish.

~Pov Switch
Back to Tsuna and Mukuro~

Tsuna swallowed he was nervous about this but it was all for them if he let things get in the way then he was a fool. The boy was waiting for it that sting it was as if Mukuro was playing a little game with him. "Aren't you going to do it Mukuro? Or are you just messing with me?" If he was Tsuna would fight him kick him into the ground and make him do it, the people he cared about. 'Haru...Kyoko...Lambo, Mother...Kyoya.' The thought of all of them including the ones he hadn't mentioned getting hurt drove him close to tears. But he wouldn't show that here if he let his composure fall then everything else would as well.

"Oh I am~ one at a time the more you get the more it will hurt. Now who to start with~" Jars appeared in front of Tsuna each one had a name on it, the ones he cared about. Each one Mukuro had struck with this thing Tsuna would be taking into his own body. Not that he wasn't aware of the end result in this, it was why he was trying so hard to stop it before it got to that point. 'He even has to ask me I said I would save them all.' Tsuna reached down to touch the jar only to have it splinter and the glass cut into his hand. He just hissed but held back the pained scream or any other sound that might have escaped. The mark flowed up his arm straight for his chest, though Tsuna was used to flames this was a new pain for him. It caused him to cry out and fall to his knees.

"You picked Hibari Kyoya first does he really mean that much to you?" Tsuna took a painful breath pulling himself back up. He had to pick another one no matter how much it hurt him to take this on. The thoughts in his mind was what was happening to the others as he did this did they feel anything at all. "That look in your eyes worried about those Guardians still even when your life is the one in peril." The boy just shook his head laughing a bit it was more of a peaceful one. Almost like nothing bad was happening and he wasn't about to sacrifice everything about himself.

"You know nothing about me Mukuro." He held the jars in his hand shattering them on his own as his blood dripped onto the ground the marks spread up his arms. It seemed they were forming on one part of his body what would happen when he had them all. How much time did he have before they showed up.

"Sure I know nothing about you~ Don't go thinking that just yet." A cloud of mist formed right before Tsuna's eyes revealing his guardians. The marks on the bodies of the guardians could be seen. Not by the guardians but just by Tsuna it was showing him just what he was risking at this point. 'Don't let your focus fall Tsuna!' the boy tried to focus and kicked over the thing holding the jars, they had been marked with his blood. So of course they would all go to him just as he heard the voices getting closer.

"It seems your Guardians have shown up again Tsunayoshi Sawada you got what you wanted minus one." He slammed the glass into Tsuna's chest as blood sprayed his face. The brunette coughed spitting up blood as he fell back towards the ground, as he fell he saw Kyoya, Gokudera and all of the others. 'I'm sorry but you are all okay now.' He felt strong arms catch him and looked up into those cold eyes. Behind that he could see worry something that no one else would see from Hibari Kyoya.

"Don't give me that look this is for all of you. Be careful..." Tsuna felt his vision grow heavy almost like he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. This was what Mukuro meant but he was starting to regret leaving them behind. The ring around Tsuna's neck glowed with the color of his flames as his eyes were forced open again. 'You can't leave them yet! This won't heal it completely but you have to fight Tsuna!' Tsuna's eyes were empty like he was dead but he was barely breathing.

"Tenth! Tenth!" He could hear the voices but it was getting harder to hear them almost like he was drifting away. That voice who was it what did they do, the flames had vanished and the ring was pressed against his skin again. Tsuna couldn't fight the darkness anymore it pulled him down. The only thing that remained were the sounds of people freaking out and one voice that cut through it all. "Tsunayoshi you are a fool." Hibari Kyoya as cold as he was even some of the things he said weren't as cold as they might appear to others. But the only one who noticed that was dying slowly in his arms.

Hibari just stood up ignoring the others he would take Tsuna there himself no one else could touch him. "Hibari wait!" Yamamoto had raced after Gokudera who wanted to hunt down Mukuro because of what he had done. So who was the one talking to him, he turned to see Dino when had he shown up. "Don't touch me. " With that he walked off to take Tsuna to the hospital, the boy was shuddering and clinging to him. Almost as if his body was fighting not that Hibari would say he was concerned at all.

He happened to be a mix of angry and concerned about Tsuna. One he was angry because Tsuna had gone alone without telling him. And two he just wanted things to go back to the way they had been before Tsuna had left like that. The black haired male set Tsuna on the bed waiting as they checked him over. "You brought him here didn't you? You are aware that he is a coma and there is a chance he may never wake up." Hibari just gave a slight nod though he didn't want to hear that Tsuna would wake up he was not weak like that. After the doctor left he walked to the room where Tsuna was sleeping, he looked so peaceful there.

It had been a few months since that incident even to this day Hibari was standing in that same spot just watching him sleep hoping he would wake up. In the meantime he had taken over Tsuna's work so when he did wake up he didn't have all that much work to do. It was all Hibari and the others could do, though he still refused to work with them as a group. Without Tsuna around there was truly no point in him doing so anymore. "Tsuna wake up soon I..."Hibari just shook his head and kissed the male no one was watching him after all so did it matter what he did.

The boy twitched almost as if he had heard Hibari but the male was already walking out as if he hadn't noticed. Which he probably hadn't knowing how distracted he seemed just by being here.

~In Tsuna's head literally~

Tsuna was still surrounded by the black all he could hear was voices they spoke but he could barely hear what they said. It was like they were just taunting him that he couldn't wake up. "Wake up little Tsunayoshi Sawada." The scene before his eyes changed to one of a white room with a bed and one chair. He couldn't move from where he was, it was as if his arms were tied. Tsuna tried to open both of his eyes but only one would open it was like there was something blocking his other one. 'Where am I? I just want to wake up.' Tsuna coughed and felt that he was being held down a force sitting on him. The bandage on his eye fell off as if pulled by invisible hands.

"You won't run away from me~ in this world you are mind Tsunayoshi Sawada." He looked into that red eye as he felt his will slipping away again. Back to that world where he was sleeping why was Mukuro in his head. 'Hibari Don't leave me behind!' His hand reached out before it just fell back on the bed, the same happened in the world outside of his dream but no one noticed.

The image changed again he was sitting on a hill with someone. The arms wrapped around him to hold him close. "you won't leave me right Tsuna?" The boy gave a slight nod his empty eyes turning a gold color with the same symbol that was in Mukuro's eyes. It was just barely visible to anyone who looked at his eyes but in this world it was only him and Mukuro.

No one could get through that shell around his mind or at least that was Mukuro had planned to create him a duplicate of something. Tsuna muttered in his sleep clinging to Mukuro's hand this wasn't his world. 'I have to go home. Have to break free from his curse...' That pain in his chest got worse and he fell backwards back into the black.

~out of Tsuna's mind~

The boy's arms were covered in claw marks almost as if he had clawed his arms up. "Tie his hands down we can't have him hurting himself more!" The boy struggled against them though he was in a coma like state. They had drugged him to get him settled again it seemed his heart had sent his body into a seizure state. For now they would have to keep watch over him.

There was truly no chance he would wake up though if he did he might not be the same in one way or any other. Being in a state like this could hurt anyone forever all they could do was try to save him. And pray that he didn't die or something didn't kill him he woke up. The mark on his chest glowed faintly almost like a heartbeat, standing over him stood a dark figure that looked towards the door.

"This boy belongs to me you have failed Hibari Kyoya." The person vanished into mist as the flame color of the mark faded away. Leaving the boy to go back to his peaceful sleep that he might never wake up from. The look on his face as peaceful as it was seemed to say he was fighting it. Would Tsuna wake up that was still something to be seen, but the boy was never one to stay down for long.
