Beta'ed: Pure Red Crane
1st movement : Broken Melody
The sky was not as bright this day. The clouds were dark as the rain poured down heavily accompanied with loud roars of thunder. Amidst of these was an ongoing funeral. The people who came to mourn wore black formal attires while holding their umbrella, but they didn't mind the heavy rain as they silently watched the coffin being buried.
They prayed that the unfortunate teen would rest in peace.
"He was so young and such a kind man."
"He could have achieved much more in his life."
"My condolences, Mr. and Mrs. Sawada."
As the visitors shared their condolences to the family, Nana cried hard, burying her face in her husband's chest. Iemitsu also looked depressed as he comforted his wife while looking at their 12 years old son, who was getting drenched in the heavy rain like he didn't care.
.
.
The funeral had ended and the rain showed no sign of ending.
"Let's go home." said Sawada Iemitsu, slowly approaching his son, but as he expected, he didn't get a reply.
"Son, it's not your fault that Ieyasu died." he explained worriedly, but that didn't get a response from his youngest son.
"Okay, you can stay here, but please, son, don't burden yourself." Iemitsu gave up, letting out a heavy sigh and offered his umbrella.
"I'm okay." the brunet replied weakly with his raspy voice.
"Come home when you feel better, okay?" His son nodded. Iemitsu left to give his son some time to think.
The brunet didn't use his father's umbrella. Instead he gave the heavy raindrops complete access to his petite body. His brown gravity defying hair was flattened a little as he lay on the side of his older brother's buried coffin. His bangs covered his eyes, helping him to hide his emotions.
"It's my fault." he said with his broken voice.
"I should be the one lying in there. Not you, Nii-san." A bitter smile curved on his lips and he began to reminisce about the time before the incident happened.
Flashback
Sawada Tsunayoshi was only 5 years old when he discovered his talent for playing the violin. His parents and older brother, Ieyasu, who also had brown hair only a little longer than his, were proud when the little brunet started to sway his bow, creating a mesmerizing and soft sound from the instrument. And so, Mr. and Mrs. Sawada entered their son into music classes every summer and winter vacation. Because of this, he greatly improved and now he can play hard and fast music pieces with ease.
The little brunet loved his violin very much because it was the only thing he exceled in while Ieyasu was an academic.
When Tsuna was 10, he talked to his parents about his plan to enrol into Vongola academy, a prestigious middle school of music and arts, but his parents refused because they wanted him to study like his brother.
Ieyasu was a college freshman at Namimori University. He was currently in a course for political science, a prerequisite for his future course and lawyer career. The young aspiring musician felt disappointed and asked from brother for advice. As he told about his brother the plan to Vongola academy and pursue his wanted career, Ieyasu supported him all the way. Both of them would sneak outside their house at night every time Ieyasu was home for the school break so the young musician could practice. When the older Sawada was away, he always encouraged his little brother to never give up on his dream.
Tsuna was really happy as his dream to become a professional musician was slowly coming true with his brother's help.
"Neh, Nii-san! When you get married, I will be the one to play at your wedding."
"Is that for free or with charge?" Ieyasu sighed, thinking that he was about to get robbed by his little brother again.
"Hey, I'm not that greedy! Of course it's for free." Tsuna pouted. The brothers looked at each other and laughed.
It was the best of their bonding times.
But then he turned 12 years old.
Their parents had found out that Tsuna was sneaking out to apply for the prestigious music and art school. Of course they were against it. Being in the music industry was a gamble. If you were successful, then you're lucky, but if you're not, then you need a job change and that was undesirable.
"I'm against it! I don't understand, Tsu-kun! There are a lot of other careers that you can still try." Nana stated worriedly.
"Your mother is right, Tsuna. Please reconsider." Iemitsu agreed with his wife.
"But?" Tsuna felt saddened that his parents were still against his dream.
"Kaa-san, Tou-san, can we at least give it a chance? I promise I will stop him if the future outcome is not good for him." Ieyasu told his parents calmly as he approached Tsuna and looked at their parents with a pair of pleading eyes.
"Fine." Mr. and Mrs. Sawada agreed.
The two brunets jumped for joy and hugged each other like insane people.
"But remember your promise, Ie-kun." Nana told them.
"Of course! Kaa-san." said Ieyasu, giving his parents a sheepish grin.
'These boys.' Nana chuckled as she watched her sons happily celebrate.
"Kids are rebellious sometimes." Iemitsu whispered to his wife.
"And that's a challenge for both of us, Honey."
Life was easier for the Sawada brothers now that Tsuna could practice freely inside their house. Sometimes their parents would also join in and observed the youngest son perform while the brothers watched their parents slowly accept Tsuna's chosen career.
And then one day, the Vongola academy announced that they were accepting recorded audio pieces as the student's entrance exam. Ieyasu sent one of Tsuna's audio pieces that were secretly recorded when he was 10 years old, but because of his forgetfulness, he was unable to label his brother's name correctly. He was only able to put down the first letter of their family name as he quickly sent it without taking a second glance.
Meanwhile, Tsuna was nervously recording his own audio music piece. He managed to finish it with some noticeable errors.
'Maybe this will do.'
And then he decided to send it.
After a month...
A letter from the Vongola Academy came.
DOKI...DOKI...DOKI...DOKI...
The Sawada brothers gulped as they looked at the results.
"I-I didn't pass for regular classes." Tsuna sighed and added." But I was still accepted for the non-regular classes. I can start there, Nii-san." The brunet smiled as he looked at the bright side.
Ieyasu didn't understand why his younger brother was not selected. He was so confident that his brother would get accepted for the regular classes. And then, when Ieyasu returned to his dorm, he also received a letter from Vongola academy.
Congratulations, you passed for the regular classes, but since you didn't write your whole name Mr. S, we advise you to come here personally and present the letter to verify your identity.
"I HATE BEING FORGETFUL!"
He slapped himself really hard and checked the letter again. When he confirmed that it was real, he immediately drove from his dorm back into their home.
After 3 hours of driving…
"TSUNA!"
The Sawada family was having lunch when Ieyasu suddenly rushed in with a bang. Everyone at the dining table jumped in their seats when the front door abruptly opened. If Ieyasu didn't yell 'tadaima' and they didn't recognise his voice, the family would have thought he was a robber and hit him with a vase or frying pan.
"Ara...Did you forgot something Ieyasu?" Nana questioned.
"Let's eat, Nii-san!" Tsuna busy eating his food.
"No time! Tsuna, we're leaving." Ieyasu grabbed his younger brother and ran.
"I'LL BE BORROWING HIM FOR A WHILE, KAA-SAN! TOU-SAN!"
"My lunch!" cried Tsuna.
The older brunet started his car engine and hurriedly drove away from their house. His younger brother was panicking. He didn't do anything wrong, right? Then why?
"Onii-san, did I do something?"
His older brother didn't say a word. Instead, Ieyasu gave Tsuna the letter.
"Read."
The younger brunet followed his brother's instructions and read the letter.
"Eh? Did you apply for the Vongola Academy too, Nii-san?"
"No. That's for you, little brother. I secretly recorded practices for 2 years and I picked the best one to send to the academy a month ago." Ieyasu smiled and Tsuna processed the information. Then he turned to the letter again and reread it.
Passed. Regular classes. Vongola Academy. Mr. S.
Sawada
Tsunayoshi?
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, NII-SAN!?" Tsuna excitedly looked at his driving brother as he started to shake his brother.
"Oi, Tsuna! I'm driving!"
"Hahaha! Sorry, Nii-san! I'm just so happy!" And then the brunet started crying while he continued to laugh.
"I should thank you for secretly recording while I practiced, Nii-san!" And the crying brunet bowed simultaneously in his seat.
"Oi! Don't do that! It feels weird!"
"Hai, hai!"
The Sawada brothers were halfway to Vongola Academy when Tsuna decided to take a nap while his brother also tried his best to stay awake.
"Oi! Don't sleep on me! It's unfair!"
The brunet yawned and repositioned himself.
"5 minutes, Nii-san." said Tsuna as he closed his eyes once again.
"I won't give the letter back to you then." Ieyasu tried to blackmail his brother.
"HIEE! I'm awake!" The young brunet yawned once again and looked at his surroundings.
"Are we still far away, Nii-san?" Tsuna asked as he started to feel bored, barely fighting his drowsiness.
"Yes, but were halfway now."
Since they still had half the journey left, they decided to do what they could to entertain themselves. Ieyasu listened to the radio and Tsuna read his favorite manga which he forgot in the car a few weeks ago.
30 minutes left...
Ieyasu suddenly remembered something while driving and immediately called his brother's attention. "Tsuna, could you get that small notebook in the backseat?"
"This?" The younger brunet grabbed the small blue notebook.
"Don't take peek, little brother." Ieyasu said with a playful tone.
"What's inside?" Tsuna was curious about what was written inside. It was a normal book, nothing made it stand out. So what was so special about it?
"A musical piece. And I composed it myself!"
"Cool!"
"But promise me that you will only play that piece when you enter the regular class AND!" The older brunet emphasized his words and continued. "I should be the first one to hear it. Understand?"
"Understood, Lawyer Sawada!" Tsuna saluted and grinned.
The brothers were happily chatting as they were about to arrive at the city where the academy was located.
Unfortunately, a large truck suddenly lost control. The driver successfully dodged a small child that was about to get run over by the vehicle, but he was unable to see the car that was just passing by.
"NII-SAN! LOOK OUT!" Tsuna yelled as a sudden flash of light devoured him and his brother's smiling figure.
"It's going to be alright, brother."
The young brunet slowly opened his eyes.
'Where am I? It's cold…'
He blinked once again as his eyes slowly regaining its focus. His eyes surveyed the place. 'A white ceiling? A white vase with lots of different flowers? Am I in the hospital?' the brunet thought as he suddenly remembered his brother.
"Nii-san!" He immediately got up from his bed, but then he felt pain all over his body. "ITTE!"
Meanwhile, Nana was just about to enter her son's room when she heard a voice. She quickly opened the door, only to find her son awake and wincing in pain. "Tsu-kun?"
Tsuna later found out that he was asleep for two days. Luckily, he didn't get serious injuries. He can't help but ask about his brother, but then his mother assured him that he will see his brother soon.
And after 3 days, Tsuna was allowed to leave the hospital. He was excited to see his brother again so he didn't waste any time and waited for his parents to pick him up.
"Tsuna, be ready." Iemitsu said in a serious tone.
'Why…?'
When they arrived at their residence, Tsuna saw a lot of visitors inside.
'A welcome party?'
As they entered the house, Nana was trying to hold in her tears while Iemitsu, still with Tsuna, walked towards a black coffin.
"T-Tou san, w-who is inside that coffin?" Tsuna's voice was shaky, but he tried to be calm himself down, scared by the possibility in his mind.
"It's your brother, Tsuna."
"I-Is he playing tricks at me again?" The brunet, now trying to hold back his tears, slowly approached the coffin.
There, he saw his brother as he slept peacefully. "Nii-san, you need to wake up now! It's unfair to me!" His brown eyes widened as he freely let his tears to flow. "Nii-san, this isn't funny anymore!"
He waited for his brother, but still no response came. "Hahaha! Nii-san, you got me already, so please!" Tsuna laughed insanely, but he was beginning to cry miserably as he slowly lost his balance and finally he slumped to the ground, not minding his surroundings. His father comforted him as he continued sobbing.
"It's my fault, Nii-san. I'm sorry."
'If I only focused on the other things.
Then this wouldn't have happened.
If I only listened to our parents.
Then maybe life would still be the same.'
End of flashback.
It was still raining at the cemetery. The lying brunet decided to sit up and look at his brother's grave.
"The outcome of my ridiculous career is quite obvious, Nii-san." Tsuna mumbled as he touched the tombstone.
"I'll be the one to stop this."
And then he smiled bitterly and slightly lifted his head, revealing his dull and lifeless brown eyes.
"I'll abandon this cursed dream of mine."
'If only I abandoned it before, then maybe
You'd still be alive.'
Cut!
