Silent but loud sounds slowly brought him out of his unconsciousness. His stomach still hurt and his wrists burnt like hell. A rope held his hands in place and made sure that he couldn't escape. But as if a mare rope would stop him. Nonetheless he decided to keep up with his play and not to move. What happened?, He asked himself and tried to look around, but because of the dim light, he wasn't able to see everything. But one thing he could feel better than anything else. "Oya? You woke up pretty fast." Mukuro's voice sounded amused when he stood up and approached him like a wild animal. "But don't worry. You won't be bored, it seems like they actually managed to fight their way up here." Kise didn't answer, he just stared at him and cursed himself that he couldn't just punch him into his face to show him that he isn't that mighty as he thinks he is.
Fortuanetly he didn't have to answer and also Mukuro didn't have the chance to say something else.

The door was slammed open when four people entered the room. Tsuna and Bianchi froze at their place when they saw the picture of this room.
"YOSHI!" Tsuna couldn't help but run towards his brother. But Reborn, who was sitting on his head again, held him back immediately. "Be careful", he warned him, looking at the blue-haired teen.

"What have you done?" Tsuna then asked, his eyes resting on the blue-haired teen. "Kufufu I didn't really do anything", Mukuro answered with a slim grin. Just when Tsuna wanted to say something again, another figure chought his eye. "Fuuta!", he realized and walked towards him. He wasn't tied up like Kise, but he didn't show any reaction even when he stood directly in front of him. "You scared me. Looks like you are alright. I searched fou you after we met earlier. It's dangerous here. You should better step back." Although he was relived to see him here he was also quite uneasy with the situation. Why didn't he react at all? Only after a few seconds, Fuuta seemed to realize that he was standing in front of him. But instead of being happy to see him, he suddenly pulled out a dagger. "Fuuta?", Bianchi asked and approached him. But before she was able to even touch him, the little boy didn't hestiate and stabbed her into her stomach. "BIANCHI!", Tsuna screamed, overwhelmed with what just happened. 

A smirk appeared on Mukuro's lips. Just as he had planned. "Fuuta, what are you doing? Bianchi hold on!" Tsuna was horrorfied and in fear about Bianchi's well-being. But he didn't even get the chance to care. Fuuta continued with his attacks. "Hey Fuuta! Whats wrong with you? Put that dangerous thing down!" The brown-haired teen screamed at the boy. What was going on? "He is being controlled." The explanation followed as if Reborn had heared his thoughts. "No way!" Startled in disbelief, Tsuna was only able to dodge the boys attacks. "What do I do?" Tsuna questioned when Reborn pulled him backwards with a whip before he could get hit by a strike of the dagger. "I borrowed this whip from Dino earlier. Use it to fight!", Reborn explained and handed the whip over to Tsuna who just blinked at it not knowing how to use it. But he had no other choince if he wanted to rescue Fuuta, Kise, the others and himself. 

"Kufufufufu what will you do now, tenth boss of the Vongola?" Mukuro smiled in amusement. But rising his voice was a mistake. Because of this, Tsuna realized that it would have no use to 'fight' against Fuuta in the first place. Mukuro was the one controlling him after all, so he had to knock him out first. 

Tsuna didn't hestiate anymore and ran towards the blue-haired villain. Unfortuanetly Tsuna really didn't know how to use a whip and his clumsyness didn't make it better... So when he lunged out, he didn't only hit himself but also fell onto the ground. Kiseyoshi frowned at this sight but couldn't suppress a smile anyway. He knew that Tsuna would get this, he just needed his time and he didn't intend to help him. This was his fight, so he must stay pacient, even though it was hard...

"Kuhahahaha you surprise me, as always", Mukuro laughed in joy. He really liked the unusual entertainment that was presented to him. "Oh, you should better watch your back, it's dangerous." Tsuna gasped when he saw Fuuta who wanted to grab the dagger again that he lost when he fell alongside with Tsuna. "Stop it Fuuta!" But the boy didn't even react. His eyes were empty and his moves controlled like a robot. Tsuna sure felt pity for him, but what should he do? He was still a little kid after all, he didn't do anything wrong! "Fuuta", Tsuna rose his voice, when he realized, "it's not your fault." The boy actually froze at these words. "None of this is your faoult", he repeated his words. "We are all on Fuuta's side. You don't have to worry about a thing. Come home with us." Tsunas words worked. Fuuta stopped moving against his will and his eyes clreared up again. "Tsuna-nii...", he whispered when he was back at his senses again. But that was all what his small body could do before he fell unconscious, makeing Tsuna worry again. 

"Our plan was a huge success", Mukuro suddenly stated. "The Vongola is standing before me right now." "Rukudo Mukuro!" The voice of the usually calm and kindhearted teen echoed through the room, leaving an omnious atmosphere behind. "What do you think people are?" His eyes pierced the blue-haired teen, but he just smirked and lightly answered: "Toys... I suppose." "Damn you, You bastard!", Tsuna shouted in anger and didn't hestiate anymore and rushed towards the teen. Mukuro's answer made Tsuna furious. How could anyone thread people like this? 

When Tsuna nearly reached the stage the teen was still, sitting on the green sofa, Mukuro suddenly appeared behind him. The brunette boy didn't even had the time to wonder about what just happened. Only one blink later, he was covered in wounds. Not even leaving him a second to recover, Mukuro summened an illusion. At the same second, Kise opened his mouth and wanted to warn Tsuna, but he stopped again after realizing that he shouldn't interfere. How often did he want to rise his voice now? Warn Tsuna? Help him? The ropes on his wrists were loose for quite a while now. He could just jump over and stand by his brother's sinde instead of sitting on the ground, watching what happened. But was he really allowed to? Everything would turn out fine after all... But he might could prevent his friends from getting posessed by Mukuro, getting wounded even more... But then Tsuna would never get his gloves and the others would find out about him. "Damn it!", he cursed himself. 

Then the door to the room was opened once again and two figured appeared in the door frame. "Sorry I am late!", Gokudera apologized with a smile on his lips. Next to him was Hibari, silently analyzing the situation untill his eyes  crossed with Kise's. Hibari hold his breath for a second but hoped that Gokudera didn't realize. Instead he just pushed the silver-haired boy away from himself, rose his Tonfas and went into fighting position. A little repartee encounterd between Hibari and Mukuro and Hibari easily got the upper hand at first. But not even the Sakura flowers could stop him anymore, so he brought the villain down in his final punch. "It's over...", Tsuna whispered in disbelieve. "No....", Kise murmured to himself. 'Now it really starts'

In the next moment, a shot halled through the room and Mukuro's dead body fell to the ground. Everyone was startled but Reborn explained: "He probably better wanted to die than taken by the Mafia." "Hmm", Tsuna just replied but couldn't stop feeling as if something was wrong. 
"So we finally defeated him?" A voice mumbled when Bianchi opened her eyes. "Bianchi! Are you alright?" She nodded and asked her brother for help. "Wait... Gokudera don't get close to her!" Even Reborn was surprised but fortuanetly Gokudera was fast enough to dodge the sudden attack. "What?"
And then the curtains opened and the marionettes began to dance.

Kise really just wanted to close his eyes. He didn't want to watch this ridiculous 'play'.
"Kufufufu, maybe I expected too much from you. Are you really the Decimo?" A smirk appeared on his face, when he tilted his head and looked at Kise. "Are you sure that you two not just changed your roles?" He continued and stopped when he reached Kiseyoshi.

Both twins were startled, no one expected this turn. "What?" Also both of them questioned. Even Reborn was surprised. Where would he get this idea from? "What are you talking about?" Tsunas voice was shaking. Kise was still locked up, if he would have saved him before, he wouldn't be in this situation now. Regretting this, he bit on his inner cheek. "Maybe one of you will reveal their real identity to me when I attack one of you?" He drew his trident-like dagger and pointed it at Kiseyoshi's throat. "W... Wait!" Tsuna did a few steps forward. "Oya?" Mukuro looked surprised. "Yoshi has nothing to do with all this!" "Are you really sure about that?" The blue-haired teen was very amused with this answear. The twin he captured was surely more valuable than this one standing in front of him. "I won't let you hurt my friends and family anymore! I will defeat you and make an end to this!" Even Reborn was slightly surprised at these words, but he just smirked proudly at his student. Kise also looked at his brother with wide eyes. But he wasn't only surprised because of Tsuna's words but also because Leon, who has been in his cocoon for the whole time, finally began to float into mid air, shining brightly like a star. 

"Vongola, what are you doing?" Mukuro even lowered his dagger while curiously watching what was happening. "I am not- L- LEON?" It didn't take long and Leon dropped the woollen gloves. That was the signal for Mukuro to focus on this twin again. Quickly he led Ken attack Tsuna, but the bullet that was inside his new gloves dodged the attack. "A dying will bullet!" "Got it", quickly Reborn snatched the bullet out of Tsuna's hand and prepared his gun. "Forget it", 'Gokudera' smiled, throwing his dynamites at his beloved juudaime. A 'bam' halled through the building. Smoke filled the room and wood splinters flew through the air. "TSUNAAA!" Kise couldn't help but to scream out for his brother. He certainly knew that he was fine, but it still hurted him to see him getting injured. 

"If you die here, it will be problematic for me", The posessed Chikusa said, though he was just about to attack the brunette with the dagger. "Mukuro..." Tsuna's voice was silent but everyone noticed the change of tone at once. "If I don't defeat you... Even if I am dying, I will not give up!" 

A shiver run down Kiseyoshi's spine. The atmosphere changed, warm orange flames lit up the room, giving hope to the ones that were around Tsuna, knowing that he would protect his friends and family at any cost. 

Relived but also worried, Kise closed his eyes. 'He did it', he thought proudly but couldn't help to worry. 'You have to passs many difficult trials from now on, Tsuna...' "But I will stay by your side", he continued his thoughs whispering it out when he opened his eyes again and decided to watch Tsunas fight. But to his surprise, Tsuna dodged one of Mukuro's attackes and ran right towards him. "I am sorry it took so long, Yoshi... I will free you now", he explained and freed his brother from the ropes. Luckily, he just burned them, so Kise hoped that he didn't notice that the ropes have been already loosened. "Take care of him, Reborn." With these words he headded off to rescue his friends. It was at that time that Reborn noticed something. 'These are...', he thought and picked it up. 'Interesting', he thought and decided not to say anything for now. 'I guess I need to have a talk with him later.' He smirked when he looked at Kise who was watching his brother fight with a way too calm expression on his face. 

Everytime Tsuna got hit by Mukuro, Kise gritted his teeth. He was so focused on the fight, that he didn't even notice Reborn's stares. He was about to call out for his brother for a few times, wanting to warn him, wanting to step in, being at his side. At the same time, it felt strange seeing this fight from a viewers perspective. Since he still remembered this fight as if it has been just happened a few days ago, even if there were actually several years in between. 

"It has ended", Reborn announced Tsuna's victory after he brought Mukuro down. "It's over", Kise whispered too, smiling sadly at the scene. He knew what would happen next. 

Instead of being happy that he won, Tsuna immediately looked out for his friends. "No worries, the mediacl staff already arrived", Reborn declared, pointing at the door that just opened. "They will be alright, I am sure about that", Kise tried to cheer his brother up but his eyes were still laying on the blue-haired teen. It felt as if he wanted to tell these words to himself though... To calm himself down. Mukuro, Ken and Chikusa would be fine in the future, he knew that. In addition to that, Mukuro had to be punished for his actions, no matter wh at happened or will happen. Nonetheless he couldn't but flinch when the chains of the Vindice appeared, chaining the trio up. 

"What? Who are they?" "They appeared quickly... Vindice." "What are you doing?", Tsuna screamed at them and even wanted to step in. "Don't try it Tsuna" Reborn swiftly stepped in when Tsuna wanted to approach the black clothed figures. "What will happen to those three?" Tsuna then asked, still worried. "They will be put on trial and be punished", Reborn casually explained as if it was the most normal thing on earth. "What kind of punishment?", Tsuna quietly asked... "Who knows? But it's nothing light. We don't live in a kind world", the hitman responded, following the teens gaze to where the black figures disappeared. "So", Kiseyoshi raised his voice, making the two looking at him, "we just have to make this world a better one, don't we?" A sad smile lay on his lips while the warm feeling returned once again as if someone wanted to cheer him up, as if it wanted to say: 'everything is alright. You don't need to worry.' And it worked, somehow. "R... right", Tsuna agreed and smiled at him. "And we will!" Now Kise was truely smiling, pulling his brother into a tight embrace, letting himself be honest with his feelings for this time.
