Chapter 1: If Only

There were explosions so I went to check it out. But all I saw when I got ot that place was the dilapitated Kokuyo Health Land.
"Could demolition have started already...?"
But the explosions seemed to all be concentrated at one place. The third level. I saw that the gate was unlocked - Actually, the lock seemed to have dissolved somehow - so I went in to take a look.
Ah, I need to introduce myself. I'm Kirihan Yuki, 15 years old and has home tutoring instead of going to school. Which sucks because I can't really make any friends. My family's mansion was in the vicinity so I decided to check out the loud sounds I heard. My parents wouldn't be very happy to know that I skipped lessons just to come here. But Madam Green is a wonderful, understanding teacher. She knows I have a curious mind so she would let me off. Hopefully.
After walking for a while, I noticed a large hole in the ground. I went nearer and peered down the hole and saw that there was blood on the ground. Gulp... As I went further inwards, the explosions got louder and I started seeing injured people. Two of them were wearing the Kokuyo Junior High uniform while the other two weren't. But one thing they all had in common were injuries. A fight between students? I think I might need to tell my parents to move to a more safe location if that's the case...
"Eh....? I'm sure the staircase was over here..."
For an unknown reason, the starcase was gone with only part of the top left. The last time I was here, it was still perfectly intact though. All the other stiarways were either unsafe or misisng. Eventually, I found a ladder. The area inside and outside this room seems to have bore witness to explosions and... needles...?
There was a usable staircase right after I climbed up the ladder so I used that to get to the third floor where I believed the explosions were coming from. But once I got to the third storey, all the explosions stopped which just gave me a bad feeling. I slowly opened the heavy door to the theater and peeked in... Just to see Kakimoto-san, Joshima-san and Kanabe-kun badly beaten up and lying on the floor unconscious.
"It's ended."
"... Yeah..."
Who were they..? I think I've seen that person before when my family car one drove past Namimori Junio High. Who was that kid beside him? Looking at the wounds of my friends made me feel that I should have come sooner. No... That wasn't the reason why they got hurt. They reason why they got hurt like this was because they were my friends. Bad luck always came to anyone who was close to me. If only they didn't become my friends... If only I didn't meet any of them...
"Ah, oh yeah! Everyone's wounds!"
"Don't worry, the Vongola's medical staff just arrived. It seems that they managed to give Lanchia the antidote in time."
"Thank goodness..."
The teen looked at Kanabe-kun and said,
"... Mukuro...He's not dead right? He's fine right?"
"Geez, you're too kind."
The kid suddenly looked in my direction and I hid behind the door. It's going to be bad if he finds me...
"Don't get any closer byon!"
Ah! Joshima-san! I quickly peekd through the gap in the door again.
"You Mafia don't touch Mukuro-san!"
Why do they keep refering Kanabe-kun as 'Mukuro'? And... The two that beat them up is involved wih the mafia...?
"Eek! Those guys...!"
"Don't be afriad Tsuna. They don't even have any strength left to walk."
"... W... Why..? Why do you guys do so much for Mukuro? He posessed and used you guys."
"Don't talk as if you know everything..."
"For us this is nothing pyon... Compared to our suffering back then..."
Suffering..? They never told me anything about that...
" 'Back then'...?"
"What happened? Speak."
"... hehe... We were guinea pigs for human testing. By our own family."
Family..? Does Joshima-san mean their blood family...? Or a 'mafia family'...? But... Why didn' they tell me any of this..? We were friends weren't we...?
"I thought so. I was doubtful but you guys are part of the Estraneo Family that created the forbidden Posesion Bullet aren't you?"
" Forbidden...? You guys just labelled it like that for your own convenience."
"Thanks to that, our family members were labelled as brutes and were horribly persecuted by other mafia. As sooon as we stepped outside, guns were pointed at us and we were killed like bugs."
"That just stimulated the adults of the family even more. In continuing the experiments to invent special weapons pyon..."
"But he... All by himself, he destroyed that miserable life. He was quiet and wasn't the kind to stand out. I think that was the first time I heard his voice..."
"That time for the first time since birth, there was a place to go... for us... and... We can't have you destroy that!"
"... But... I as well... Can't just stay quiet when my friends get hurt... Since... That's the place for me to go..."
"Ugh!..."
"..."
I was suddenly kicked under the chin and hit a nearby pilllar. I winced at the pain and saw three people who had bandages on their heads and wore black cloaks and top hats. Who were they? More mafia people?
"Ah!"
"The medical team has arrived."
Like heck they look like a medical team.
I couldn't see very clearly what was going on but I saw one of the masked men holding three chains in his hand.
"Wha?!?!"
"What a quick appearance."
"W... Who are they?!"
"Vindice. They are the enforcer of the commandments in the Mafia world and they trial those that can't be trialed by law."
I tried to see where the chains led to... They were cuffed to the neck of Joshima-san, Kakimoto-san and Kanabe-kun...!
"What... What're you doing?"
"Don't try Tsuna."
"Ahh..."
"It will be roublesome to be involved with them... Just leave them alone."
"You saying that much... Are they really that scary?"
I stood up and leaned against the pillar I hit.
"What do you guys think you're doing to my friends?!"
"She seems to be an acquintance of these three. Should we detain her as well?"
"It's best to play safe when we're dealing with Rokudo Mukuro. Arrest her as well."
"Eh?..."
"Run pyon... If Mukuro-san was conscious right now, he would say the same thing you idiot..."
"... Understood!"
I quickly turned around and started running. It's not like I could do anything to help them in my current situation...
Back at Tsuna and Reborn
"Why do I feel as though I've seen that girl  somewhere..."
"Is she an acquiantance of your's Reborn?"
"I'm not sure. All I know is that I've seen her before. But I'm not sure where."
"Now that you mention it... Ah! She's the girl thats been hanging around our school recently! You know, the one that suddenly started hanging around our school a few days before the attacks on the students?"
"Oh, yes. That girl.  I thought she was suspicious... Until now. But that isn't the reason why I feel that I've seen her before."
"Then.. Maybe you've seen her in Italy before?"
"Maybe..."
At Kirihana Yuki
When I got home, there wasn't a single soul there. I checked the kitchen, lounge, the servant's quarters, the guestroom, my own, the study, everywhere I could think of but there wasn't anyone. I picked up the antique phone on the stand in the hall and dialled my mother's number. There was no reception. I tried my father's and got the same result. I tried again and I got through. But it seems that there was bad reception. I told him that everyone was gone and he said he would arrange for me to go live by myself for a while in a house in the Namimori district as the other vacation houses we had were currently in use by other family members.
"Father... I have a request..."
 I hung up and went to my room to pack as I was told. I'm doing what my parents tell me to do again. Without Kanabe-kun... No. Mukuro-sama and the others, I don't feel like making descisions for myself anymore. My father was going to send a car for me at roughly 4pm. I had around one hour to pack some of my clothes and other neccesities. They would bring over my other stuff another time to my new house. I felt unwanted. Being moved from one place to another like this. I had only just started living in this place a few weeks ago. I was living in another place a few months before. And a few months before that... I can't even remember how many times I've moved house. Was it 15 or 25*...?
It's not like it  matters anymore. It's not like anyone would ever come and visit me anymore... There's no need to inform anyone of my change in address is there?
Specials
* It's hard to mistake 15 for 25 in english, but when said in Japanese, 15 is 'jyuu-go' while 25 is 'nii-jyuu-go'. Thus, it's sometimes easy to forget the numbers.
