"The Start"

10:23 P.M.
Namimori, Japan… Namimori Central Hospital…
It was already past ten in the evening, and still the doctors haven't informed them about anything. They've been waiting for almost five hours now. But for Tsuna, it was like he was waiting forever.
All he wanted was to make things go back to the way it used to be. That's why he went back as soon as he can. Back to the place he calls home. Back to the place where the one he loves awaits him.
But when things are finally planned out, fate just happened to play with them.

Sicily, Italy… Vongola Head Quarters…
The Tenth Vongola boss of the well-known mafia family named Vongola was now sitting in his office waiting for his home tutor to drop by. Today was the day he was coming back. After a long, agonizing, eight years of waiting he was finally coming back.
He suffered eight years without any communication with her. Eight years without seeing her, hearing her, and feeling her. All this time he was suffering for her sake. He suffered eight years to be stronger. He endured all of it so he can come back. Today, the big break he wanted for so long will finally be his.
In all honesty, eight years of all that almost made him insane. Luckily, his storm guardian, rain guardian, cloud guardian and sometimes his mist guardian visits him in Italy and encourages him. And Reborn was with him all this time. They were a family after all. It was such a shame that they couldn't stay with him in Italy. Not when their home is in Namimori.
Tsuna has realized that eight years was enough to change him. His not the dame-Tsuna everyone knows anymore. He was now the Sawada Tsunayoshi that everyone respects and feared in the underground city. He is the boss that many look up to. He has changed a lot more than he already has. But the only thing that hasn't change in him was, the caring and loving Tsuna he is that his friends love about him.
He is still the Tsuna that loves spending time with his friends—the same Tsuna that wants to protect his family—the Tsuna that they all love and know—the same old Tsuna he was eight years ago, back in Namimori, the place he calls home.
Just a little more time and he will finally be back-back to the place where he wants to be the most.
Just a little more time, and finally I can see everyone again. I will finally see Kyoko-chan again, and things will go back to the way they were supposed to be. Just a little more time…
"Tsuna," Reborn called the brunette sitting on a chair- dazed. "It's time."
The brunette looked at him and smiled.
"Finally," the Vongola Decimo said as he stood up. "I'm going home."

8:14 A.M.
Namimori, Japan… Miyami-san's Coffee Shop…
"Thanks for coming again." A middle-aged woman told the orange haired woman who was standing in front of her. "I am sorry I had to call you so suddenly. Maia made a last-minute trip to visit her parents in the province. It's almost Christmas after all."
"It's O.K, Miyami-san. Don't mention it." Kyoko said while smiling at the old woman. "I am glad I could help."
Miyami-san smiled back. It's been three years since Kyoko worked at her shop. It wasn't even intentional, for Kyoko to work for her. It just happened that one of Miyami-san's waitresses was sick. Being the kind-hearted and helpful girl Kyoko is, she immediately volunteered herself to help Miyami-san. Ever since then, Kyoko has been working every time if one of Miyami-san's workers has to call in sick or if Kyoko just wanted to help.
Kyoko shrug off her winter coat and hanged it up in the coat rack just beside the door. "I'll just go in and change my clothes. I'll be right back." She said before disappearing inside the workers lounge.

On board the plane…
Tsuna groaned as he stretched his arms above him. Usually, Tsuna loves riding air vehicles, especially helicopters. But this ride was eating him all up. With his anxiety and all of those weird feelings he gets, sitting in one place with nothing to do – he almost lost his sanity.
Tsuna turned to his right and peeked at his back. "How much longer are we going to have to sit here?" He asked Reborn who was sitting crossed legs behind him. After lifting up the curse, Reborn finally regained his true form four years later after they left Japan. Ever since then, Reborn's training went two-fold hell like.
Reborn placed his cup of espresso down to the saucer and smirked. "We're almost there."
Tsuna pouted. He scrunched up his nose and slouched back to his sit before heaving a deep sigh. "That's what you said five minutes ago."
Reborn chuckled. Reborn's cursed lifted in a quiet sometime already, but Tsuna still can't get used to the truth the baby with a very tiny, squeaky voice is the man who's very tall, cold and scary that can make you wet your pants with just one look.
"Well, ask me again after five minutes, and we'll see where it goes from then, shall we?"

1:43 P.M.
Namimori, Japan… Miyami-san's Coffee Shop...
Kyoko wiped her forehead and sighed. Doing the dishes was sure tiring. She wiped her hand on her apron to dry her hands.
"Why don't you take a break first, Kyoko-chan?" Miyami-san asked from the counter. "It's already almost two and you still haven't eaten."
Kyoko turned around and smiled. "Thanks, Miyami-san." She said. "But I rather continue working. I'm still not hungry anyway." She politely shrugged.
Miyami frowned at her. She placed her hand under her chin and sighed. "But take a break later, alright?" Miyami knew it was useless talking to her about lunch breaks and rests. She saw this girl work herself till she plummets to the ground due to exhaustion. Miyami talked to her about it, and the girl only said she likes working because it keeps her mind off things. When Miyami asked her about what, Kyoko just smiled.
"Un!" Kyoko answered cheerfully. Miyami sighed as she shakes her head. She just hopes that Kyoko can soon realize that faking happiness would never cover the sadness that her eyes buried in their depths.

2:52 P.M.
Namimori, Japan… Vongola's Private Airport…
"Where are you going?" Reborn asked with his eyebrows raised. "The car is waiting for us that way." He pointed towards the other direction the brunette was walking off to.
Tsuna raised his hand, not bothering to turn around.
"I'm just going somewhere." He waved. "You go ahead; I'll just find my way back home alone."
Reborn sighed. They weren't even in Japan for than ten minutes, and his stooge is already doing things his way. "Whatever," He brushed the brunette. "Just don't come back crying or I will seriously beat the hell out of you."
Tsuna scoffed loudly. Reborn turned around and stared at Tsuna's back when he heard his footsteps stop pattering in the cold, snowed pavement. "I don't cry," Tsuna said – his voice held no other emotion but coldness. "Not anymore." Then the brunette was gone.
Reborn watched as the silhouette of Tsuna disappears. Reborn frowned before covering half of his face with his fedora. He held his hand up and urged the green chameleon to perch on his offered fingers. He patted Leon, and started walking to the opposite direction Tsuna walked to. His heavy feet tapping loudly as he walks down the covered pavement.
"Dame-Tsuna," Reborn could only do anything but hiss.

3:04 P.M.
Namimori, Japan… Namimori Middle School…
It's been eight years since he came back to his hometown. Eight years since he left this place. Tsuna wanted to do a lot of things since the plane landed. He barely controlled his emotion when he reached and saw Nami Chuu the way it is since he left. Admittedly, Tsuna wanted nothing more than to go back to his beloved home, see Maman and the kids, his friends and Kyoko.
But Tsuna can't help but go back to this place – the place where it all started.
He met all those people who he treasures the most in this place. It holds all their moments together, too.
The day they first met, the day they first talked, the day they first ate their lunches together at the rooftop, the day they started their mafia family, and the day they won their first battle together.
Tsuna smiled as he remembered all the good times they spent. He shook his head and continued going up the stairs, towards his destination.
Reaching up the blue doors, Tsuna grasped the knob with his dominant right hand, and slowly opened the door, letting the cool, winter air swept on his face. Tsuna fight back a shiver from the coldness of the weather. He walked forward and stopped just in front of the steel railings. He leaned downwards towards it, placed both his hands on top of the railing, and chuckled lightly to himself.
Eight years ago, the railing was as tall as his shoulders. Now, seeing that eight years has changed him a lot, including his height – the railing was now too short for him.
Tsuna grinned like a fool. Something he hasn't done in a while. He was starting to feel himself again – the carefree Tsuna who smiles and laughs a lot when he was with his famiglia.
He fished out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number he memorized with his heart. He can start things now, and he will. Finding his true-self gave him the courage to talk to her after such a long time without any sort of communication.
Of course Tsuna was nervous. He hasn't even thought about what to say to her after all this time. He called her on impulse. Not that he didn't want to. He longed to hear her voice, even if it was just on the phone. Tsuna was nervous alright. But he was not scared. He was not scared of the fact that maybe Kyoko had already moved on, already got tired of waiting for him, and already forgot about him. No, of course Tsuna thought about that, heck he may have even done those things himself.
But she promised to him. And Tsuna believes in her promise.
Finally she picked up her phone after what seems like hours.
"Moshi moshi?" Kyoko sounded breathless over the phone.
Tsuna's heart thumped harder in his chest when he finally heard her voice. Has it really been eight years? Her voice seemed higher and more mature than the last time he remembered her speak. Tsuna's hand clutched the phone tighter and looked up to the sky. He frowned. The clouds covered the sun. He couldn't see the sun.
"It's me, Kyoko-chan." He finally managed to say something coherent. "I'm back."
Yes. He was finally back. But not yet home. He still has to go back home.
December 24, 2012
3:26 P.M.
Namimori, Japan… Miyami-san Coffee Shop…
Kyoko wanted nothing more than to hear Tsuna's voice and feel the warmth of his embrace again. Eight years have passed since she last saw Tsuna. Eight years since she promised to wait for him. The promise she kept till now.
It has been though. That she can say. It was not easy. Waiting for someone you are not sure to come back is never easy. The pain and sorrow you must endure from the wait. Kyoko almost gave up. She almost moved on. Eight years without hearing a word about him. She wasn't even sure if Tsuna was still alive, if not for the occasional visits of her brother to him.
Bottom line is Kyoko never stopped waiting. Her faith wavered, she won't deny. But she never stopped. When she promised Tsuna she would wait for eternity, she meant it. She couldn't forget the day when Tsuna asked her to wait for him. Every day, every night, she would remember.
"Eternity, eh?" Yes. She promised him she would wait for him for eternity.
She hoped. God, she hoped every day that eternity would come soon. She wouldn't stop wishing that she could see Tsuna or even just hear him talk on the phone. Just one call would be enough. A call that would tell her that he hasn't forgotten about her. Just one call and all would be fine.
Why wouldn't he call?
So when her phone rang just after she finished wiping the table Miyami-san asked her, and she saw the number she wouldn't forget ever flash on the screen, Kyoko wanted nothing more than to answer.
But instead, her breath hitched, her palms got sweaty and cold, her feet started wobbling, and her heart thumped in her chest hard. Here she was just thinking about him, and then her phone started ringing his number flashing, teasing, and tempting her. Eight years she has waited. And today she'll hear him again.
"Moshi moshi." She said – her voice breathless.
There was pause on the other line. Kyoko's heart thumped harder than before. Was this it? Will he tell her that he's finally back? Will she finally hear and see him again?
"It's me Kyoko-chan." Kyoko's eyes started to well up. Finally! She hears his voice after so long. "I'm back."
Yes. This is it. He's coming back home.
