Author's note:

Well there are a very few 8018 multichapter fics…so since "Necessity is the mother of inventions"…here's one. I'm not good with romantic stuff yet but I'm learning so please support me. Give this story a chance

He stood secluded, the only living thing in a room full of corpses. He knelt down beside one of them. The tears fell uncontrollably from his dog like brown eyes, mixing with the blood that trickled from a gash on his chin. "I'm sorry…" He whispered over and over again.

"You're not."

"Huh he felt something grip his hand. He looked down to see a corpse with one bleeding empty eye socket and blood spilling from its mouth. It spoke in a dry voice, dry and scratchy like the rustle of leaves. "You're not". He stared at the corpse, wide eyed with fear. Suddenly he felt movement all over the room. He looked around and gasped. All the corpses where writhing and crawling towards him like worms. "You're not." they chanted. The tears spilled uncontrollably again "I am" He screamed "I'm sorry!"

"…"

"…"

"Yamamoto!"

Yamamoto jerked awake. "Huh!" He gasped. 'Another dream' he thought darkly.

"You alright?" he heard Tsuna calling out worriedly from the front seat of the black BMW they were driving to the airport. The vongola were having a meeting with the Diamante Family in Namimori. They were a relatively young family and were well known for their brute strength. They were also famous for being one of the only all-female Mafia family and were nicknamed 'The Amazons'. Throughout the years Tsuna had changed his outlook on women in the mafia, taking the vongola's very own Chrome into account. She had grown from a scared child to a very talented assassin, her abilities as strong as Mukuro's (With the help of Mammon).

Yamamoto on the other hand had also become increasingly powerful, second in terms of power only losing to Hibari. The thing that worried Tsuna was Yamamoto's deteriorated personality, from a happy man to an utterly depressed one. The sky guardian did understand a little since the rain was very bad at dealing with death. Apart from his father's death (though they had travelled all the way to the future to save him…he had still died in a tragic road accident.)There was also that terribly miscalculated mission that had killed most of his old subordinates. These two incidents had taken a toll on the poor man. Tsuna had spent a countless number of times to cheer him, tell him he was not alone but to no avail.

The said rain guardian smiled in assurance "Yeah it's nothing". Tsuna looked away miserably. That smile was obviously fake.

"Then get off my shoulder" a cold voice cut in.

That's when Yamamoto realized he was still resting against Hibari's arm; he had even drooled on the cloud guardian's suit!

"Uh-huh sorry…" Yamamoto stuttered, a faint blush evident on his cheeks. He removed himself from Hibari's shoulder and looked out the car window, his face back to its usual apathetic gaze. Tsuna smiled slightly….at least that crush hadn't gone. Only he and Gokudera had known about Yamamoto crushing on Hibari since the ring battles.

Hibari looked at Yamamoto's back a frowned "You're not an herbivore Yamamoto Takeshi" he whispered so softly that only Hibird, perched on his shoulder could here.

Little did he know that the little bird took off from his shoulder and chirped "You're not an herbivore Yamamoto Takeshi"

Everyone looked up, even Ryohei and Lambo who were apparently snoring away in the back seat and Gokudera who swiveled the steering wheel sending every one crashing to the right. Hibird sat itself innocently on Yamamoto's shoulder. The said Rain guardian was jammed against Hibari in a somewhat intimate way. Hibari looked at Yamamoto and noticed two things; anger and remorse. His eyes widened as he had not expected such intense emotions. At last the taller man smiled weakly and got off "Unfortunately I am".

The words hung heavily in the air.

"They're there!" Lambo yelled pointing at a huge prop that read 'Welcome Vongola-chan' decorated with paint, glitter and stickers. "What the hell! Are they making fun of us?!" Gokudera yelled fury evident in his eyes. "Calm down Gokudera-kun, there's always an explanation. As they came closer they noticed four women in formal suits and aviators all bowed down apologetically. "We're sorry but our cloud guardian can be such a handful sometimes" One of them said nervously. Tsuna smile "its okay some of our guardians are like that too." He chuckled inwardly thinking about Lambo.

After an hour of driving they finally reached the front door of a huge white mansion. Once out of the car they were greeted by the boss herself waiting excitedly behind the huge oak doors. She was about sixteen with chocolate brown hair and emerald eyes. "I'm Etna" She bowed "Boss and sky guardian of the Diamante family" Tsuna shook hands with her, a nostalgic smile on his face. The girl reminded him of his age when he was first boss of the vongola.

Etna led the vongola to a massive hall with white Marble floors and beige walls and plush red sofas, five of which were occupied by the other guardians of the Diamante.

The sun guardian, Erika was the oldest at twenty one.

She was a tall busty blonde with sparkly blue eyes and a wide grin.

The storm guardian, Madonna was eighteen. She had ruby red eyes and long black hair tied back neatly in a ponytail.

Her gaze was stoic and calculating.

The Thunder guardian, Mia was fourteen with short white blonde hair and yellow eyes. She smiled shyly at Lambo while they shook hands.

The mist guardian, Nebbia was also fourteen with curly red hair and amber eyes. Her eyes seemed far off and mystic and she had an angel's smile. For some reason Chrome felt like she gave the same vibes as Mukuro.

The cloud guardian, Allodola another fourteen year old was a lively albino. She hugged Hibari and chirped "I'm a skylark too Hibari-chan". (Allodola also means skylark) Tsuna winced thinking about Hibari's tonfa's. But he never hit her. He stood there wide eyed one moment and a slight smile graced his face the next. She grinned at him cheerily. "New friend! New friend!"

The rain guardian was missing apparently. "I'm sorry but our rain guardian is out on personal businesses" Etna said apologetically. "It's okay" Tsuna smiled. Etna smiled back. "I'll show you to your rooms"

It was late afternoon. The vongola members had gone about town, re-visiting their old haunts. Yamamoto was infront of his father's grave. He just stared at the markings and the flowers he had placed. He turned a little, finally noticing the two fresh new graves right next to his father's. A girl about eight stood next to him.

"You lost kid?" Yamamoto asked. The kid looked down at him. Her brown eyes were as dead as his were. "Not lost…abandoned" She said slowly. "You've got your relatives don't you?" He asked a little concerned. "They're the ones who abandoned me…" She sighed "They were arguing about who's going to adopt me…and just forgot I was there". Yamamoto felt his heart sting. This kid was cute, sure her expression was dead but that was no reason to just leave her here. That's when he got an Idea. "Hey I'll adopt you" He smiled. The girls eyes widened for a second, her short black hair which looked like Hibari's hair-do in his middle school days blew slightly with the wind. "are you serious mister?"She asked. "Yeah" He grinned. "What's your name?"

"Arashi"

"Yamamoto Arashi then" He grinned

"That's lame mister."

"It's not and call me dad" He pouted

So how was it?
