Wow, this was longer than I'd planned. Once I reached 2000 words though the rest just flowed. Anyway I have no idea what genre to put this in at all. All I know is it had romance in it so I put it under that and I decided on Drama (it will contain humor too, don't worry). I'm going to try to make this an actual story, longer than four chapters and hopefully they will all have at least 3000 words.

Oh yeah, on Mangafox KHR is now licensed! Luckily another website I know had it so I can still read it but if they target that site to I might die! Gah, I want to read it but I haven't found the manga anywhere where I can buy it here. I'll have to go to Barnes & Noble or something. Ugh, I'm so pissed right now. Anyway please enjoy the story.

Pairings: Hibari Kyoya x Sawada Tsunayoshi, Yamamoto Takeshi x Gokdera Hayato. Dunno about others.

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR.

He ran and ran, ignoring the thunderous heaving of his lungs. Everything sounded diluted, even the sound of his breathing and quick footsteps. The only clear sound he could hear clearly was the sound of the horribly slow and irregular thumping of a heart not his own and the ticking of the watch on his wrist. He payed no heed to the other small doors that blurred by him as his eyes stayed clearly focused on the large double doors at the end of the white hall. He needed to arrive in the room before his time was up, he would do anything to get there before the ticking from his watch stopped forever.

Thump…...Thump…..Thump…..…Thump

The white doors never seemed to get closer even when he pushed himself to the breaking point. He couldn't feel his legs anymore but he still forced them to move by sheer force of will. His lungs could not get in enough air into his thin frame but that fact did not stop him. He needed to get there, that was all that mattered, there was still time, he could save-!

Tick-CRACK.

His eyes widened and he lifted his arm to see the watch crack and shatter right before his very eyes. The three arms abruptly stopped where they were, all pointed on the same number. He could no longer hear the slow thrum of the heart. He quickly sped up his pace, not knowing that it was even possible, and he suddenly arrived in front of the doors. Not thinking twice, he wretched open them open and ran inside the large white room now painted in red.

His eyes widened at the sight in front of him and his eyes flew to his beloved's face. Lifeless eyes stared in his direction, as if the owner was waiting for him to come and save him. His heart wretched at the sight and his numb legs finally gave out on him as he crumbled to his knees, eyes never leaving the handsome once alive face. He didn't seem to care about the man that was covered in his love's blood. The only indication he gave that showed he even knew what was going on around him was the flinch when the man pulled his hand out of the lifeless person's chest.

The man was grinning as usual and he stared at the bloody red heart in his hands in slight fascination. "Hm? So fragile…" He murmured observing the unmoving body before him. He released his grip and the bloody mass fell to the floor, eyes never moving from the door. The man turned his attention back to the heart in his hand. "Ah, this would have never happened if you had all just listened to me; if he'd listened to me. And now he's dead." He sighed and crushed the heart, "Such a shame too. He had such potential." He pouted slightly, unclenching his fist and letting the now unrecognizable heart fall on top of its owner.

He tried to ignore the man's words and actions, trying to keep his eyes sorely focused on his lover. Wishing that those eyes would once again show the defiant life they usually held, refusing to believe that he was dead. No one ever killed him, he'd survived everything that had been thrown at him, ten years later he'd become so powerful that no one stopped him. He was invincible.

A sigh brought him out of his thoughts and his eyes finally strayed to the cold blooded killer before him. "Now my clothes are ruined…" He muttered, trying to rub of the blood coating his arm on his red speckled white clothes. He looked at him and smiled, "He died waiting for you."

He flinched.

"He was hoping that you would save him." The man continued throwing salt on his wounds, smiling while he did it. He stepped over the dead body and walked closer to him. "Such a beautiful body…" He grinned at the look of surprise that flitted across his face.

"You…you didn't…" He hissed, glaring at the man standing in front of him.

The grin spread wider. "Hm, yes I did. It was great, to dominate him. He cried for you, begging you to come and save him you know. I told him it was useless, that you were the reason he was here. He ignored me though."

Pure blind rage tore through him at the information being told to him. He shot up on his feet, eyes narrowed on the grinning male. "Don't…"

"Don't what?" He sneered.

"Don't lie about that…"

"Oh? What makes you think I'm lying? It is your fault he was caught by me-"

Yes, he knew that. It was his entire fault that he'd been caught. But..."He would never cry in front of you." It was a simple fact.

The man frowned at him before he grinned again. "Seems like you've figured that out. No I didn't rape him, not that I wasn't tempted. In fact that's why he died today, he actually fought me. Somehow he found out that you and your little friends broke into here." He chuckled, "He believed in you all, believed that he had a chance and retaliated." He shook his head.

"I'll kill you." He snarled.

The man opened his eyes, face suddenly serious. "Why? For revenge? What good would that do you? He's dead."

"I don't give a fuck. You're dead."

He laughed, "What are you waiting for then? Come and kill me!"

Tsuna shot up in his bed, breathing heavily and sweating. The confused brunette looked around, somewhat confused and fearful but relaxed when he realized he was in his room. He let out a low breath and wiped some of the seat of his forehead. He tried to slow his quick heartbeat before standing up on his legs and walking toward the bathroom connected to his room. He ran a shaky hand through his wild brown hair, trying to shoo away the memories of the dream. He was shaken and confused, wondering why he was dreaming about something like that.

He hoped in the shower after he undressed and quickly washed up, hoping to go and check on something quickly. He dressed and rushed off to look around the large Vongola mansion, trying to find someone. He sighed in frustration when he couldn't find the one he was looking for, running a hand through his hair once again.

"What are you doing Tsuna?" A familiar baby voice asked. Tsuna, even after ten years of experiencing this, jumped and spun around, eyes wide in shock.

"Hiiiiee! Reborn what are you doing here?" He yelled.

The small hitman ignored his shouting. "Asking what you are doing." He snapped.

Tsuna rubbed his head, "I'm looking for someone." He received a 'no duh' look from his old tutor but ignored it. "Have you seen Hibari around?" He asked instead.

The baby frowned, "Why? What's wrong?"

The brunette shook his head quickly, "No nothing's wrong! I just need to check something."

Reborn eyed him quietly for a few moments before smirking and shaking his head, pulling his fedora hat further down his head to cover his face. "No I haven't seen him in awhile." He informed before disappearing to wherever he usual went.

Tsuna felt a small swell of panic at the news. He decided to do something that the Cloud Guardian would try and kill him for later on. He was going to call him to see if he was ok. Hibari had told him to only call to give him missions or tell him something important, he specifically told him after giving the smaller male his number that he would bite him to death if he called to ask or talk about something herbivoreistic.

Tsuna smiled slightly at the memory of Hibari reluctantly telling him his number before threatening him. He'd glared when Tsuna told him his own number but did nothing more than type it into his phone before walking away.

He sighed before walking into his office, getting ready to search for his phone that he'd lost the day before in his mountain of paperwork. He suddenly froze when he saw the person standing with his arms crossed impatiently in front of his desk. "Hibari." He greeted sounding relieved. Hibari turned his head to look at him over his shoulder, looking a little confused as to why he was relieved no doubt.

His handsome face quickly changed into a scowl though as he eyed his 'boss'. "Couldn't you keep this place less messy herbivore?" He snapped, pointing at his messy desk. He was still angry about the fact that Tsuna had lost his report and they both had to search through enormous amounts of paperwork just to find a simple folder. That had happened a year ago and Hibari had threatened him to clean up but apparently a threat wasn't enough. Hibari had learned to just keep his reports until he went to see Tsuna himself. Which was the reason he was here right now.

"Ah sorry, it was clean yesterday but I messed it up searching for my phone." He laughed slightly, walking over to his chair. "Could you call it for me?"

Hibari's eyes narrowed, obviously telling him no. Tsuna stared at him, frowning. "Come on Hibari, it's not going to kill you."

Hibari reached to take out his phone muttering something that sounded suspiciously like 'I'll kill you.' Tsuna smiled, used to Hibari's threats. Ten years used to them actually, but who was counting? Not him. Ten years of knowing Hibari, Reborn, and Mukuro had taught him to become brave. Plus a fight that had happened six years ago showed Hibari who was boss, it was a secret fight that only Hibari, Tsuna, and Reborn knew about. The fight where the stake was, if he won, Hibari would have to stay in his family and listen to him. It was also a rare fight that he had started, as expected Hibari had accepted, his only stake if he won would of course be his opponent's death. Hibari had been winning at the beginning but at the last minute Tsuna had won. Hibari was a man of his word and had stayed in his family, but he rarely did missions with any of his other guardians so Reborn had decided that Hibari and Mukuro (who was now free) would be perfect to do the assassination missions. Tsuna had wanted to protest but Hibari had already agreed to do it since it allowed him to kill and allowed him to stay away from the family since the job brought him to different places all over and sent him back to Japan a fairly amount of times.

Tsuna knew Hibari didn't necessarily care for Italy, that's why he had been so surprised when Hibari had agreed to come with him. Well he didn't really voice his agreement or anything, Tsuna had asked and Hibari had just brushed past him and disappeared. Tsuna had thought that that meant no and he didn't see the Cloud Guardian for awhile, but he was shell-shocked when he spotted Hibari at the airport the day that they were supposed to leave. When Tsuna asked what he was doing while gaping like a retarded fish he received a glare while Reborn explained to him that Hibari had decided to come to Italy with him.

Tsuna was surprised to say the least. Hibari had been the first guardian he'd asked (because Reborn had threatened him) and he'd gotten nervous when Hibari had walked away. He wasn't sure if he wanted to ask the others to move away, he didn't want to do that to them. They all agreed though, Fuuta, Bianchi, and I-Pin also wanted to come with him however Kyoko and Haru stayed behind. Which was probably for the best and Ryohei agreed with him.

Tsuna stood up and started searching for his phone when it started ringing, a bland ring tone that came with the phone. Tsuna wasn't too interested in ring tones and all that stuff that you could do to phones. He used it strictly for work and occasionally he took pictures when he didn't have a camera with him. In fact there was a photo of him and Hibari on there that Reborn had taken. It was an older picture, when Tsuna was still clumsy, he had tripped and Hibari had just so happening to be standing behind him and he'd grabbed Tsuna's wrist to keep him up. The picture was embarrassing especially since he was blushing in the picture but he still kept it. It was one of the few pictures he had with Hibari in it and it was one of the better ones. Three others he had were on his computer that he'd uploaded from his camera when they were all in middle school.

The first was horrible, he was going to snap a picture of Hibari with Hibird when Hibari had suddenly turned around, smirked, and started stalking toward him. Reborn, who was sitting on his shoulder, told him to hurry and snap the photo. Tsuna had pushed the button quickly when Hibari was close and dropped the camera, running away. In the first photo, it was just the top part of Hibari's head and Hibird flying away. The second had apparently been snapped when he'd dropped the camera; it showed Hibari's legs and Tsuna running for his life while holding onto Reborn. Despite the horrible pictures Tsuna kept them since they were precious memories of his.

The third had everyone together. The picture had started out normally, Hibari had agreed to actually be in the picture, he was on the side slightly, near Ryohei, closing his eyes and crossing his arms he faced to the side slightly. Suddenly Lambo had jumped onto his head; knocking him forward and Gokudera had whipped out his dynamite and started cursing the 'annoying kid'. Yamamoto tried to calm him down while Kyoko worried over him. Haru was yelling in surprise when she saw Gokudera's dynamite and Bianchi was going to throw some poison cooking on her brother's head. Ryohei had turned around and threw his arms up in the air, yelling something about 'EXTREME!' and Hibari had brought out his tonfas, glare on his face as he was about to 'bite him to death'. I-pin had then spotted him and gone into her Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion. While all this happened, Reborn stood off to the side so all that appeared in the picture was the back of his head and hat. All of it had happened simultaneously and the camera had snapped the picture. It was one of Tsuna's favorites.

Tsuna found his phone under a fairly large pile of papers. He nodded thanks to Hibari and the black haired male just hung up his phone. Tsuna sighed and sat back down, stuffing his phone in his pocket. "So what did you need Hibari?" He asked, leaning back.

Hibari frowned at him, "Isn't it obvious why I'm here?" He grumbled before holding up the folder in his hands and waving it slightly. Tsuna looked at it, he'd forgotten that Reborn had sent Hibari on an assassination awhile ago and as soon as he'd gotten back Tsuna, in a slight panic, had sent him on another mission since everyone else was busy doing other missions. Tsuna felt bad afterward because Hibari had just literally walked through the mansion's doors before Tsuna practically jumped at him.

Hibari had been irritated but he hadn't complained or threatened him. He'd only handed him the folder for his previous mission before storming out of the house. Tsuna couldn't believe he'd forgotten about that, especially when he learned that the mission would take longer than he'd expected. Tsuna had known that Hibari hadn't gotten very much sleep but when he told him that he should get some rest for a bit, the mission could wait a bit, Hibari had promptly hung up on him but he could practically feel the glare he was receiving thorough the phone.

"It's done." Hibari informed curtly, throwing the folder on his messy desk. "Read it before you lose it in that hurricane of paperwork." He snapped, folding his arms.

Tsuna sweat dropped but did as he was told, opening the folder and scanning the report. Hibari hated telling his reports verbally, even if it was easier. Tsuna figured it was because he didn't like to talk that much about something that had already happened. He'd said verbal reports were for lazy herbivores. Tsuna knew Hibari didn't really like to go on regular missions unless it included beating people, partly because he actually had to do reports. Reborn didn't ask Hibari or Mukuro to do reports for him, mostly because it was an assassination, what was there to report except that the target was dead or how many were killed? Unless one wanted to get specific, like ask how they were killed. All Reborn told them to do was send him a simple text stating if it was successful (they all were) and if anyone other than the target was dead, he didn't ask how many were dead because the text would have many, many numbers in it. Plus he was sure no one wanted to count how many were dead.

Yes Hibari's and Mukuro's reports were very vague when he asked them to do missions for him. Since they were very straight to the point and uninformative with Reborn, he'd noticed that in their reports. He'd gotten a report from Mukuro that should have held more details but all he got was a text from him saying 'I've finished the mission Vongola. Went good, no casualties that I remember.' Mukuro mostly sent his reports to him through text, since that was what he did with Reborn, which was annoying to no end. Tsuna didn't like to text but he always just chose to send him missions through text mostly because he could never track the Mist Guardian down, it was harder than finding Hibari when he needed him to something helpful (Hibari always was nowhere to be found when he was needed to do something nice and helpful).

The first report Hibari had ever done for him was very very simple and vague. All it had said was 'Done.' Tsuna had gone into a fully fledged lecture, that Hibari had ignored, saying that Hibari needed to write more and take up the page. The next report he had received from the smart ass said 'Mission successful' and was written largely so it took up the whole entire page. Tsuna had looked at Hibari, utterly speechless. Hibari had smirked and told him that it was longer and took up the whole page before he turned and left the room.

Needless to say, Tsuna hated assigning his Cloud and Mist Guardians to do his missions, always leaving them to Reborn. Chrome however, was great at reports also choosing to do them on paper since she was so shy and didn't like to talk very much. Ryohei was iffy with them since he gave him an hour or two long verbal reports that included a lot of 'extremes'.

Tsuna sighed and set the folder down, the report was very informative. He wasn't exactly stupid, he had noticed that the writing was not Hibari's but Kusakabe's; no doubt Hibari had told him to write it for him. "Thanks again for doing this last minute. I'm sorry."

Hibari only grunted, turning to leave.

"Did you get some sleep like I told you?" Tsuna asked, smiling slightly.

Hibari glared over his shoulder, "I don't listen to herbivores." He snapped before leaving his office.

Tsuna's smile never left. "Of course not." However he knew that his Cloud Guardian did in fact listen to him. He also knew that Hibari was aware that he knew.

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, throwing his hands up in an awkward stretch. "Ah, so difficult Hibari."

He wouldn't have him any other way though. Hibari was Hibari.

A/N: A couple of things here. First, I have no idea what I-pin's bomb is called. I tried to look it up on Wikipedia but couldn't find it so I looked on the chapter of the site I'm reading it on and the translation was Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion so I put that. Next, the three pictures I was talking about are in the ninth ending of the KHR anime. Just look it up on Youtube if you want to see it.

If any of you didn't understand, Tsuna was worried about Hibari because of his dream, that's why he was looking for him. I wanted you all to think that Tsuna was the one that had died but it was Hibari, I don't know if I succeed in tricking you all or not. I tried, that why I didn't go into appearances of the people too much. The bad guy though, well it'll be known soon.

Also, this story is TYL. I think after ten years of knowing Hibari, Tsuna wouldn't be very scared and would call him Hibari without the -san. But that's just my opinion. Since this is TYL, Tsuna won't be clumsy and weak. When I told you about the fight, I wasn't sure when to put it. Anything after three or four years would be too short since they moved not to long ago and anything before six would have been too soon. In my opinion they are even on fighting terms, so I don't know what Tsuna did to win. Maybe kiss him to surprise him or something (ha ha, kidding! That comes later ;))

If you all liked, I'll continue this fic so please review telling me if you liked it or not.
