Katekyo Hitman Reborn : Thrown to the shadows

Despair and Gone

" w-what ?!! Training now ?!! " Tsuna asks.

" no, not now. We'll train after breakfast !! " Luce said as she skips out of the room with the other arcobaleno with her.

" wait ! ...w-what about the cloths ? " Tsuna asks but too late, they were already outside. Tsuna sighs and saw a box with a note beside her.

Note :
Tsuna-chan, here is some clothes and this hair clip for you ~ Hope you like it !
By: Luce

Tsuna then open the box to see a dress. A orange dress, short sleeves with some white ribbons on it and straps on the waist part. The dress is till her knees and a white clip with small wings is beside the dress.

Outside at the hallway,
" Luce, why are you choosing your new heir now ? " Reborn asks seriously but Luce ignored it.

" Luce, you said before, ' I chose the heir when the time comes. ' " Reborn said again and Luce stops walking.

Flashback, three years ago,
At Giglio Nero's mansion at almost midnight,
" Luce, your the only boss of the arcoableno and with this much paperwork, you won't get enough sleep ! You should have a heir to help you ! " Skull said worried.
" it's alright. I don't need a heir. " Luce said as she does the stacks of paperworks.
" you'll need it eventually, Luce. " Verde said pushing his glasses as Fong nods.
" I will choose it when the right person is here and when the time comes. " Luce said still doing the paperworks.
" but who is this right person and when does the time come ?! " Lal asks unhappy and worried.
" the right person haven't appear yet. It will appear later. " Luce said finally finishing the evil paperworks.
" you are avoiding the question, Luce. When does the time come ?" Reborn said knowing she's hiding something.
" w-when I....die... " Luce mumbles and only Skull have hear some words.
" what did you say, Luce ? " Reborn asks as Skull look at Luce with a sad face.
" when I am going to die. " Luce said as she stood up from her chair.
" w-what ?! Why ? " The acrobaleno said shocked.
" when I make a choice to choose the next heir, he or she will have my powers and I will weaken due to the curse of the sky arcobaleno. A short life span. " Luce said as she skips out the room.
" w-wait , Luce ! " Colonello said shocked with the others but Luce stopped them.
" I'm going to my room. I need to rest, goodnight ! " Luce said so she smiles towards them and walk to her room very fast.
End of flashback.

Her back is what they see but they never saw the lonely back of hers except for Skull ( always left behind ), soon Skull got something in his brain.

" are you dying ?! Luce !! " Skull yell scared and worried. This made Fong have a sad expression, Lal and Colonello to smack him, Mammon/Viper cast illusion to avoid Luce seeing Skull got beat up, Verde glared at Skull and lastly, Reborn kicked him at the face.

" tell us, Luce. " Reborn said as the arcobaleno's nods waiting for answers.

" to tell you all the truth. Yes, I am going to die ! " Luce said as she turned her back to smile at them. Even though her smile is bright but that doesn't mean that her eyes that were close is happy.

" oh shit, how could I forget about that ! " Verde sighs.

" about what ? " Lal asked.

" about that if Luce chooses her heir that mean the heir will get Luce's power and she will be weaken due to the curse. " Verde says grumpy.

" it's okay ! I don't mind ! " Luce said smiled a strained smile.

" Luce, stop it. Your shaking, don't act if you don't want. " Fong said as everyone notice that Luce is trembling as she stood in front of them.

" I must because, this. This is my fate of a sky arcobaleno. " Luce said calmly as she turns and continue walking.

" w-what ? That's so unfair ! Fate is not fair ! Why do you have to die ? " Skull wailed sadly as he walks.

' fate huh ? Fate is unfair to everyone. One can't have what they want, like those who wanted to die but they still live through the days while the other hand, those who wants to live end up dying. The world's unfair because it's the balance of the world. ' Luce thinks sadly with a mocking smile that is to herself but gone by the next second.

" let's get to kitchen, I'm hungry ~ " Luce said happily and skips like nothing happened.

" she sure can turn fast, her emotions. " Verde says as he sighs.

" well, she's our boss. Our Sky, Luce. " Reborn said smirking with his fedora shadowing his eyes.

- what they didn't notice is Tsuna was behind them when Reborn ask Luce the first question.

Tsuna's POV,

" L-Luce-san is......d-dying ? " I said emotionless as I remembered the time when oka- no.... Nana-san, she hit me with oto- ...... Iemitsu-san. Negative emotions and thoughts keep on coming to my brain every second.

' Is it because of.....me ? ' I think as my face appeared a mocking smile which reflect at a mirror at the hallway.

' I'm useless and I'm the one who is killing Luce....indirectly it may be but its still part of my fault not ? ' I look at my hands.

' I-I am like what Nana-san said, a brat that should be born. ' I remembered the horrible memories.

' a trash, a thrown away trash. No one will miss me if I don't exist anymore. '

' maybe....just maybe the world will be better with an useless person gone. '

' but who will ? No one will miss me, a good for nothing and unusable tool... '

I look at a mirror which is across the hallway, a orange dress, on me. So pretty that I not suppose to deserve wearing it. And the White wing clip, white .....means pure and I don't deserve the word pure, I'm just no good, troublesome. I start to think depressed as I fall on the floor. A pair of legs is suddenly already in front of me.

" who ? " I look up but I only saw nothing but darkness and emptiness.

End of Tsuna's POV.

At the kitchen, everyone's eating breakfast.

" Reborn, where is Tsuna-chan ? " Luce asked as she finish her breakfast.

" she should have been here already. " Reborn said while drinking his espresso.

" the dress shouldn't be too hard to wear, let's go find her. Maybe she's lost. " Luce said worried and wait until everyone who eats finish their breakfast. They went through the whole mansion to find Tsuna.

On the hallway, Luce was looking for Tsuna and saw a pair of white clips. Luce took it up and her eyes widen.

" no...checker face....how could you....." Luce said after she got a vision and fainted. The arcobalenoes soon heard a thud and went to check up and saw a fainted Luce on the floor with a clip on her hand.
