Anyway, we’ll go to the third stupid crappy installment…

Byakuran straightened himself in his seat…Damn, he was bored. Being a boss was all fine and dandy but sometimes there was just nothing to do…since he had his men take care of the less interesting parts of the job while he only took care of more…exciting ones.
His hand moved to the marshmallow pack on top of his desk…
“Byakuran!!” Bluebell’s voice suddenly echoed in his entire office. The little girl pushed open the door without even knocking and was dashing in front of him like the brat that she was.
“Yes, what can I do for you, Bluebell-chan?” he asked, of course, he kept smiling, though he admitted that the girl’s rude attitude slightly irritated him, not that he was going to say it out loud of course.
The funeral wreath member looked at him and pouted “I heard about it!” she said, in a somewhat accusing tone. “You’re gonna keep a pet! I want him too!!”
Byakuran laughed, patting her head “If bluebell-chan wants a pet then we can get you one, but this pet belongs to me…I’ll be the one to tame it…”
“Eeh? You mean it’s not yet tame?” Bluebell asked confusedly, looking up at him.
The man’s eyes flashed strangely “maybe…but it’s the kind of pet that needs constant reminding of who the master is…” he smirked.
“Ooh…” she said, one look at her face and you could tell she had no idea what he meant, but she stared at him from across the desk. “Well, where is it now? Can I play with it?”
“Maybe, if it wakes up…But I doubt it would play with Bluebell-chan at all…” he said, popping a marshmallow inside his mouth.
“Eeh?! Why is that?” she exclaimed. “If it won’t play with me then I’ll force it too!!”
Byakuran laughed, “I don’t think that’s going to work, Bluebell-chan…” he replied, ruffling her hair.
“How come?” she looked up at him innocently “Is it that special? Only Byakuran can play with it?”
He stopped to meet her eyes, with a smile he nodded “it’s an interesting pet that you can’t share for a while…unless it’s completely tame…”
She crossed her arms “Well, hurry and tame it! I’m bored! There’s no one to play with around here…”
“Why don’t you ask Zakuro or the others to play with you?”
“They’re all busy being old and boring…” she put out her tongue “That’s why I wanted to play with your pet…”
“Then I’ll work double time on taming it then…” his eyes glittered strangely again. “So bluebell-chan can play with it soon…”
“Really?” she looked up at him.
“Really”

Sasagawa Kyoko sighed as she stared at her brother’s unconscious form. Romario and Gianini confirmed to her a lot of times that he was going to be just fine, and just needed rest to regain his full strength, but she couldn’t help but feel worried. Not only for her brother though, the others seemed to be in bad conditions as well, not to mention Gokudera wasn’t with them when they returned. She wanted to ask if the others were fine, Fuuta and Bianchi assured her and Haru that they were, but somewhere at the bottom of her heart she knew something was very very wrong.
She had almost fallen asleep when she heard the door open and Tsuna came in, looking as tired as ever, he didn’t even realize she was there.
“T-Tsuna-kun?” she asked, uncertain.
Tsuna jumped, and looked at her “K-Kyoko-chan!” he exclaimed. “I-I didn’t realize you were here…I’m sorry…”
She shook her head “It’s okay Tsuna-kun…I was…” her voice trailed off, looking at the brown haired boy anxiously.
“Kyoko-chan?”
“Tsuna-kun…if there’s something wrong…you’ll tell us…right?” she stared at him, hoping this time to at least receive a decent answer. “Ever since you guys came back…” she hesitated “There’s this…heavy feeling, Everyone’s injured…and Gokudera’s not here yet…I asked Fuuta and Bianchi what’s wrong, but they’re not answering me properly…I don’t know what’s going on anymore…”
Tsuna was quite struck by this. “K-Kyoko-chan…” he sighed sadly. He didn’t realize how much things affected her and positively Haru as well… true, they decided to keep a few things from them, to not make them worry…he didn’t think that the same reason they kept things from them would be the same reason why they would worry. “I’m sorry, Kyoko-chan…”
“Tsuna-kun…” she walked to him and held his hands. “You know I’ll always be here to listen if there’s something wrong right?” she asked, eyes brimming with tears.
Tsuna was silent for a few minutes, then he smiled softly, and before he could stop himself, he hugged her. “Arigatou Gozaimasu, Kyoko-chan…”
Kyoko blushed at the sudden gesture “T-Tsuna-kun?”
“I promise to tell you everything soon…but for now you have to trust me…trust us…please…” he whispered.
He almost expected her to be mad…when…
“I understand” she said.
Tsuna looked at her, surprised “y-you do?”
“I think boys are unfair…” she admitted “Always doing things your way and making us girls worry…but i guess you do it for a reason…and the only thing we girls can do is wait until you explain it to us…”
“K-Kyoko-chan…”
“Haru agrees too, so we decided that when that time comes, you boys are going to be punished!” she smiled.
The brown haired boy sweatdropped slightly at that. “P-Punished?”
“Hai!” she said, “You boys deserve it after all…” she smiled, and Tsuna found himself smiling back, already feeling much better than he did just a while ago. As if, some of that heavy load in his chest was somehow lifted.
“And to be punished…” she said, whispered seriously “You must promise to return…here…”
“!!” he stared at her, understanding what she wanted to say…and he was grateful to Kyoko in everyway. He nodded “I’ll come back…and when that time comes, I’ll accept any punishment from Kyoko-chan…”
Kyoko smiled, that seemed to be good enough answer for her for now.
A few hours later…
Tsunayoshi was walking along the hallways of the vongola base, checking on the others…Ryohei was bound to be fine, after all, he had Kyoko taking care of her…Chrome was being made a cup of warm tea by Haru in her room, the poor girl still seemed shy about it, but luckily Haru was understanding enough…Hibari Kyouya was already up acting grumpy as ever, meaning he was bound to recover. So the only one left to visit was…
Yamamoto.
Tsuna sighed, wondering how he would face his rain guardian after everything that had just happened. Romario and Dino even had to sedate him just to get him to calm down and give him proper treatment. He was asleep ever since they came back to the base.
Before he realized it he was already outside the room where Yamamoto was placed. And Dino was outside the door.
“Ah, Tsuna…there you are” Dino stood up at the sight of him, “You okay? You should still be resting you know…”
He shook his head “I’m fine Dino-san…I just wanted to see how everyone was doing…” he smiled weakly.
The man nodded, smiling at him “Being worried about your subordinates is also a job of a boss, I’m glad you’re slowly becoming like the man you are in this time Tsuna…” he said.
Tsuna blushed slightly at those words. “They’re my friends Dino-san…not subordinates...”
The blonde ruffled his hair “Hai, Hai….if you say so…”
“How is he?” he asked, tilting his head to the door of the room.
Dino shook his head “His wounds are healing fine, but he’s still asleep at the moment…” he said softly. “Though I’m not sure what will happen if he eventually wakes up…”
The vongola decimo sighed, lowering his gaze.
Dino already knew what he was thinking “Don’t even think of blaming yourself for this Tsuna” he began. “This was nobody’s fault…no one could’ve seen it happening”
“I shouldn’t have let him fight Byakuran alone…” he shook his head.
Dino opened his mouth to say something when his phone rang, he immediately answered. “Moshi moshi?” Tsuna watched as Dino frowned at the news he received from the other line.
“What? Are you sure?”
A pause, he listened to the person on the other line.
“Right…I’ll tell them, thanks Romario…” he said and ended the conversation, he looked somewhat disturbed.
“D-Dino-san?” Tsuna said gently, not wanting to anger him.
“Tsuna…there’s something wrong…I asked Romario and my other men to go back to the tunnel and investigate…but something’s wrong…there was no one there at all!”
“What do you mean Dino-san?” he asked, unable to ingest the information he had just received.
“Tsuna...there was no corpse there…Gokudera might be alive!”

The silver haired Italian opened his eyes…He casted a look around the room and felt himself tremble, everything was white…form the walls, to the curtains that was blowing slightly in the wind, to the linens of the bed, even his clothing was changed to a white shirt,…White…the color was mocking him, laughing at his face...he whimpered, wanting to get away from it…he wanted to go home… he needed to get away.
He scrambled to his feet, but the sudden surge of pain that shot through his body was a more than what he could he presently handle, and he swayed.
“Damn it…” he cursed, Stand up Damn it…you are not allowed to give up and die here… he told himself. You still have a lot of things to do… he pulled himself to his feet.
“Oyah?” a voice said from the door, a familiar voice that made Gokudera freeze in his spot. Instinctively fear started to pin him to the spot again. “Looks like my pet is on his feet again…”
Aside from fear, anger stirred up inside the storm guardian… Pet?
Bluebell, who was beside Byakuran, looked at him with interest, “He looks like a wild cat or something…” she laughed, only making him more pissed, the hell? “So he’s your new pet, Byakuran?”
The white haired man nodded, smiling “Yes…” then he turned to the boy “Come here, Gokudera-kun…”
“Like hell I will, what the hell are you trying to pull, Bastard!!” he growled, masking the anxiety that almost took his voice.
Byakuran turned to bluebell, with a wide smile “See? Still wild as like in the wild…”
“Mmm” the girl nodded, eyeing Gokudera like some sort of animal, “But you’ll tame him right? So I can play with him?”
“Of course…” Byakuran’s answer scared him, “I’ll tame him so well that Bluebell-chan can play with him too…”
“Stop joking around Damn it!!” he shouted, attacking the white haired man, okay…maybe that was stupid, he was totally unarmed, his box weapons and even his dynamites were taken from him, but blood was pounding in his ears, all he wanted to land at least one punch in the man’s face.
But Byakuran caught his fist and restrained him easily. “Let go! Go Damn it!!” he snarled.
“Bad kitty! Bad kitty!” Bluebell said, slapping him weakly.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing brat!!” he shouted at her, causing the girl to be mad that she almost was ready to attack him
“Bad kitties should be punished!!”
“Mah, mah… Bluebell-chan…” Byakuran said softly, smiling “Bad kitty just needs a little taming, that’s all…”
Bluebell put out her tongue “You can have him, he’s no fun when he’s wild!”
Byakuran chuckled. “Right, I’ll work on that right now…” he eyed the storm guardian hungrily. “And Bluebell-chan can return later on…” he opened his eyes, indicting he was serious.
“Alright…” she said, leaving the room and the two men alone.
“Let me go damn it! What the hell are you doing?!” Gokudera struggled against the man’s grip “I swear, I’ll kill you!”
But the hand on his arm became more firm, and he found himself wincing “Right now you exist only for one thing Hayato Gokudera-kun… and that is to be mine.” He threw the young man on the bed, eyes brimming with lust and licked his lips.
Taming can be such an enjoyable job.
