Never Alone

Rope of Hopes

It's almost half an hour since Tsuna fainted, when there's a blinding white light coming from behind them...

"Are? Where am I now?" A little boy voice asked. Then as the light died down they could see a little albino boy tilting his head on their direction.

"Oh kami-sama! ... from every universe that existed. Why in the world I got sent to this one!" He muttered to himself before then he timidly raising his hand.

"Uh... hi?" He greeted. But as soon as he did, most of the room occupants hurriedly pointing their weapons at him.

"Who are you?" Reborn asked- no, demanded answer, causing the boy to startle.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! T-Times out! Times out!!! You can't just point your weapon to every stranger you met!!" The boy cowered.

"We won't if the said stranger didn't suddenly appear inside our sky's room..." said Mukuro narrowing his eyes at him.

"Your sky.... -wait... who's your sky in this world?" The boy asked, no longer afraid of the situation.

"Why should we answer you?" Replied Yamamoto.

"Well, if I got sent here then who ever he is. he's in life threatening situation. And I'm here to help him or else the balance of your world might get ruined..." the boy said seriously.

"Wait, can you really helped Tsuna-nii?" Lambo perked his head at the mention as he stepped forward.

the mysterious boy blinked, "Tsuna... as in Sawada Tsunayoshi?" his eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, why? you know him?" Basil asked.

"Know him? Ha! I am hi-!" But the boy abruptly stopped.

"You're what?" Hibari asked suspiciously.

"N-Nothing..." the boy said, throwing his gaze.

"A-Anyway... my name Schnier... and as I were saying. I was sent here to helped, Tsuna-kun. So... can you please make a way?" Schnier said.

"Heh... you think we'll let you pass just like that?" Gokudera sneered.

But unexpectedly, Schnier glared daggers at him, "oh? So you want him to die? Then it's fine to me... it's not like I will be the one who mourn over his loss later on..." he said skeptically.

Gokudera clicked his tongue and was about to pull the trigger when Tsuna's loud grunts can be heard. He sounded in much pain.

"I see... so the sky pacifier has chosen him as its bearer, huh?..." Schnier said as he suddenly already on Tsuna's side.

"Oi TEME!!!" Gokudera shouted. However, Reborn stopped him from getting closer, as he then motioned to stay quiet and observe...

All the while, Schnier continue on examining the condition of the man in front of him as well healing him a bit so at least he could gain his consciousness.

"This is bad... his condition is much worser than I thought..." Schnier said, frowning after he finished.

"... but, is there any ways to help him, Schnier-san?" Kyoko asked in hope.

Schnier stared at the pale face for a moment, "well..." he m was about to continue when Tsuna stirred.

"Ah, looks like he's awaking..."

"Tsuna-nii!" The children called in relief.

"Minna..." Tsuna murmured softly as he slowly regaining his consciousness.

Schnier chuckled, "well, hello there Tsuna-kun?"

Tsuna weakly blinked twice, "hmm? Who are you?" He asked.

"My name is Schnier... and I'm here to help you." Schnier said.

"Help me? On what?" Tsuna asked slurishly...

"On this..." Schnier said raising the sky pacifier.

"But I thought, there's no way to stop the curse?" Tsuna said lowly.

"Indeed there isn't..." confessed Schnier, "but there is a way to fulfill the curse without having you to be sacrificed." Soft gasps could be heard.

"is that so?" Tsuna asked with anticipation on his eyes.

"Yes..." Schnier said, but soon his smile dropped taking their curiosity.

"Is there something wrong, Schnier-san?" Enma asked.

"Well, I do said that there's a way... but I'm not sure myself. It was only a thought... it's risky and not to mention will be very painful. Are you sure want to try it, Tsuna-kun...?" Schnier asked, glancing at the brunet sympathetically.

Tsuna glanced at his family who stared at him with pained smiles. Their eyes didn't shine with anger as he firstly thought it would. But instead, they're staring at him with full faith. Therefore, Tsuna smiled...

"As long I have my family, I don't even scared of death..." he declared.

"Well, you better stick to your words, Tsuna-kun. Because this is going to be much more painful than death itself... are you ready?" Schnier asked as he litted up his special white-silver flames on both of his hands.

Tsuna's body was trembling slightly, no doubt he's scared as hell. but his determination didn't flatter.

With Reborn holding one of his hand and Gokudera on the other, he knew that his family will stay with him no matter what happens.

And so, gulping his fears he said to Schnier that... "I'm ready..."

"Okay then, here I go..."

Then as Schnier feeds his flames to the pacifier, Tsuna began to scream in pain like there's no tomorrow...
