You can't change your bloodline. It's stupid to even try.

Who: Tsuna and you!
What: The nightmares of the next vongola boss...
When: The nightmare plot
Where: The realm of nightmares
Rating: nightmare The first section may and probably will escalate to R (it pretty much starts out at at least T anyway); the other two sections are PG-13.

[From a boy like Tsuna, you wouldn't imagine the nightmares to be as hellish as other resident's were. To some extent, this is true; however, his nightmare does not revolve around petty fears. These nightmares are not littered by events of the past, but are shaped by apprehension for the future. The nightmares have differing situations, but there is one feeling that rings strongly through them all.

Helplessness.]

Helpless | Worthless | Hopeless

[It's not like Jane is going to just slow down for them, though! She's got Tsuna's hand again, and she's running as fast as her legs can take her...would it kill Tsuna to move it some? With him lagging, they might be caught!!]

[not_mafia]

Jane... Just let me go.

[cyan_maid]

Huh?!

[She glances back to look at you.]

This is no time to be kidding! I can't let them swallow you up!!!

[not_mafia]

They won't stop. Not until they've had their way with me.

[cyan_maid]

[Jane tightens her grip.]

But I can't leave you behind - I refuse to!

[not_mafia]

Didn't you hear them? All those things they said weren't lies.

[cyan_maid]

[Really? For real? Jane looks doubtful, but arguing about how believable something is just does not jive with running for your life.]

I'm not going to throw you to a den of lions! I'm your friend, for goodness' sake!!

[not_mafia]

[ugh, fine. maybe he'll pick up the pace.

just a little though.

but it just might be enough to break away...]

[cyan_maid]

[Oh thank goodness he's running faster! Jane gives his hand a reassuring squeeze and keeps going.]

[not_mafia]

[The mob doesn't seem to be slowing, though! Maybe you should find a place to hide?]

[cyan_maid]

[Jane's looking - oh hey, that looks like a big building there! Lots of places to hide out for a while until the mob loses their scent...Jane makes a beeline for it.]

[not_mafia]

[After a bit of a scramble, they're safe inside, although who knows for how long.

Tsuna is still silent and nearly unresponsive.]

[cyan_maid]

[Perhaps he will be impressed by Jane's avoidance skills? She read about these tricks in a detective book once.

First, she locks the front door, and then she makes a beeline for a nearby elevator and, with the arm holding Tsuna sticking out the doorway, she manages to make it think it's taking people up to the tippy-top floor. Next, she finds the doorway to a stairwell and makes sure it's propped open, to draw people to it.

After all of that, the mob must certainly be close now. She turns down a hallway, pulling Tsuna all the way to the end and randomly opening doors along the way. She ducks into the very last one and slams the door shut behind them, panting and panting.]

[not_mafia]

[Quietly:]

You're hiding a criminal, Jane.

[cyan_maid]

[She looks over at you, still panting, and firmly shakes her head.]

You've done nothing wrong. I'm hiding a friend.

[not_mafia]

You don't even know who I am. How do you know what they say isn't the truth?

[cyan_maid]

[She folds her arms in front of her chest.]

And if it is? What does that have to do with keeping you from being torn apart?

[not_mafia]

I deserve it.

[cyan_maid]

For what?! [She throws her hands up in the air.] What in the world could you have done to deserve that??

[not_mafia]

[He stares blankly at Jane.]

Haven't you been listening to anything I said? To anything that the mob said?

[cyan_maid]

They all said things that you could do! And really, Tsuna, I don't think you could do anything terrible like that at all.

[not_mafia]

Maybe. But that is what I will become.

[cyan_maid]

[She frowns.] Why? Why does it have to be what you'll become?

[not_mafia]

Because there is no other choice.

[Do you hear footsteps at the end of the hall? Looks like time might just about be up.]

[cyan_maid]

[What does Jane say to that? She grew up willing and happy to jump into the heiress she would become.]

But you'll be a leader, right? A leader makes decisions. You don't HAVE to do anything bad if you don't want to.

[She glances at the door when she hears the footsteps, and looks about the room. There must be someplace else to hide...]
