Disclaimer: This is obviously a 'fanfiction' site, wherein people love to unleash their imaginations right? After the hang-over watching the 'anime' or reading a 'manga.' I don't own Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn, it belongs to the rightful owner which is Amano Akira, literally.
Author's Note: After writing my first ever Katekyo Hitman Reborn fanfic, I decided that I should write a chaptered one. Where I'm imagining a continuation to the story when the manga ended. I honestly haven't fully read the manga, and the only one I read was the ending lol. Since, I'm a lazy ass-b*tch on reading (I hate reading manga when it's action—like I can't even imagine it), I just went to wikia to catch up what's going on. (Still, hoping for a new anime for KHR).
I'll consider adding the Vongola Gears in this one, but I'm not including the Simon or Vendice guys in this story. (Sorry y'all—not until I watch the last remaining arcs into animation. Yeah, I know y'all goin' to nag me in the ass like: "Please read the Manga! It's cool etc." or whatsoever y'all going to say. I believe in you guys, but I don't really like reading manga when it's all about an action genre. I just have to rely on Wikia or forever wait for new KHR anime 'til death).
Summary: After the almost-endless battles, Sawada Tsunayoshi thought it's time to rest in peace for the battles, not until he disappeared without a trace.
OST (Official Soundtrack): None.
Prologue:
It smelt like a real birthday party around the Sawada household. After Tsuna was tasked to buy something at the supermarket, his family and friends used this rare opportunity to prepare the surprise for him. How sweet of them, isn't it? They were all trying their best to make it faster in order to finish the preparations for his birthday. You can see in their faces that they can't wait anymore to see Tsuna's look when they surprised him.
Finally, he's going into his adulthood.
From designing the whole house with their hand-made decorations, sneaking the cake which they've bought to the bakery shop, and what Sawada Nana, Tsuna's mother, cooked for their foods to chew. After this preparations are all set, they've waited Tsuna to arrive inside the house. They did tried their best not to laugh, because it's a challenge that they shouldn't talk to Tsuna; all the hardworks are worth when Tsuna didn't notice anything weird about his family and friends. He didn't even realized that it's his birthday today—what a Dame-Tsuna, says Reborn in his mind when they aren't talking anything unusual for Tsuna.
It's definitely a good sign to surprise him. They're all hyped to surprise the brunette. They've waited for almost 30 minutes—yet there's no presence that shows he's just around the Sawada household. Reborn find it weird, since when Tsuna is always being tasked to purchase some goods to the grocery store he usually isn't late like this, but he shoved his thought away to worry about Tsuna. He's fine. He assured himself, it's almost going into one hour.
Miura Haru, one of Tsuna's good friends, said, "Are you sure he's going to come? It's almost going into one hour." Haru's intention isn't bad, but she's worried but Tsuna's condition. She honestly don't know the way Tsuna manages his time, but taking too long for him to buy a few items in the grocery? Hell, it's going for too long.
"Of course, what are you thinking you idiot-girl!? This is the home where Tenth can only go!" Hayato Gokudera, a self-proclaimed hand-man of Tsuna, blurted with a loud voice.
Haru frowned, "I got it, you don't have to call me 'idiot-girl'! I'm just worried over him!"
Gokudera can only grit his teeth, "Why are you trying to say that something happened on Tenth!?" His self-constraint lost as he pulled Haru's shirt neckline.
"Stop it you two," Reborn said—calm but filled with authority as Gokudera complied quickly. Saying an immediate apology to the Sun Arcobaleno, "well, as what Haru feels. I feel worried about Tsuna. Even though he's Dame-Tsuna, he was never late to come back with a bag of groceries whenever Mama commands him to purchase." Everyone was startled to that statement.
"You're right, Reborn-kun, he's usually early to come back after he got the goods home." Nana held her right cheek, as she begins to worry about her own son.
Everyone displayed a worry on their face, it doesn't seem right as Yamamoto stands up, "It's not good to display such a worried face in Tsuna's eighteenth birthday. Let's just contact Tsuna, then." Yamamoto fished his phone through his trouser's pocket, and he starts to dial Tsuna's number. Yamamoto find it weird, since his phone immediately says that: The subscriber cannot be reached, please try again later. It follows the multiple toot sound. Yamamoto sighed in defeat as he dialed Tsuna for the fifth time, still no answer from him. "This is bad, it looks like Tsuna's phone is off or out of service."
"No choice huh? Looks like we need to search for him." Reborn manage to stay calm—although he's getting worried over Tsuna. Since, he felt like Tsuna's own presence in the Namimori disappeared.
"S-Search for him? We aren't sure, maybe Sawada will come back here. Let's stay for a while." Sasagawa Ryohei, another Tsuna's friend, and Sasagawa Kyoko's older brother.
"Hmm, then, let's divide ourselves into two groups. First group will search for Tsuna, while the second group will stay here to take a look for Tsuna." Reborn divided them into two, after dividing them, they're all set for Tsuna's search.
Reborn hissed when he felt like he's finding for Tsuna but turning into nothing. Looking around his surroundings, he can't even feel his presence in here—everywhere. He's wondering why would Tsuna disappear without a reason? He feels something wrong about this matter, he wished that this would never turn into something evil. After scanning the place, he went to jump to Yamamoto's shoulder.
"No clue?"
Reborn shakes his head, "No," He's quite hesitant whether he'll say this to the Rain Guardian or not, but since he shared his secret way back before about the Arcobaleno—Yamamoto is also quite trustworthy in his secrets, "Yamamoto." He called for his name.
Yamamoto stopped walking, and looked to Reborn who's on his shoulder, "Is there something wrong, baby?" Yamamoto sensed that Reborn has something to say to him.
Reborn lowered his head a bit, and crossed his two arms and legs. "I wanted to tell you another secret that you shouldn't say with everyone—for now, Yamamoto." Yamamoto knows how serious this matter is. He displayed a pensive expression as a return for Reborn.
"Of course."
"Hmm, you didn't felt it?"
"Felt what, baby?"
"I see," Am I the only one who felt Tsuna's presence disappeared? "that's weird that I'm the only one who felt that Tsuna's presence disappeared." Yamamoto's eyes widened as what he heard from the Sun Arcobaleno.
"No way—h-how can that be!? Tsuna… disappeared?" Yamamoto doesn't know what he should feel about this situation. He's quite shocked from Reborn, and moreover, he's worried about his friend Tsuna who disappeared out of nowhere. Not a single trace, reason, nor clue why would he disappear. "Hey, what do you mean by that? There's no way Tsuna would disappear."
"I honestly don't know Yamamoto, I couldn't feel his presence around Namimori. It's either this is all Tsuna's doing or another." Reborn said as a matter of fact. "But I don't really see anything for Tsuna to do this—disappearing just like that. Geez, that Dame-Tsuna."
"Are you saying that Tsuna died?" He clenched his fist.
"I don't know," Reborn jumps as he landed to the surface, trying to sound nonchalant, "since disappearance and death are different things. I guess."
"It means—there's still a high chances that Tsuna is just around here then." The Rain Guardian realizes that the two words: disappearance and death are completely a different thing—their meaning.
The Sun Arcobaleno nodded, "Yeah, as long as we still don't see Tsuna's death, we have to consider him alive. For now, this is our secret, but I guess this secret won't last any longer. Yamamoto."
"Yeah."
They continued to walk on their way to find Tsuna once more. Silence enveloped them, Yamamoto who's thinking deeply about what the Sun Arcobaleno said to him. He hoped that Tsuna didn't really disappeared just like what Reborn said, but that's Reborn, there's no way that he's joking. If he said a thing, that's just it. If Tsuna disappeared, then both of them should find a way to search for his presence. Yamamoto also wondered what if someone wants to mess with the Vongola Family once again. Another Family? Rival of Tsuna's? Yamamoto is now filled with a deep thoughts, to the point it makes him anxious.
"Hey, if Tsuna's not around, then—"
Reborn gave a smirk, "We just have to find him all the way, Tsuna needs his Guardians with him. After all, he's a Dame-Boss who needs an aid."
