Summary: Tsuna begins to have nightmares that seem to be warning, yet in each dream things get worse...he begins to feel like he is losing something that
he can't get back...but what?
His fingers twisted and gripped the sheets that covered his body, his eyes were screwed shut as he bucked and squirmed. Whimpers tore from his lips
as he tries to fight the nightmare that haunted him.
It was one he wished he never had to watch again, but it came every night without fail.
He saw flames around him, heard screaming he could not stop, felt heat so real and yet everything was just a dream...or so he thought.
Tsuna woke with a gasp, beads of sweat decorated his body causing him to shiver when he felt a light breeze upon the cooling sweat.
He tossed the sheets back and stripped out of the drenched clothing, snatching a towel, he headed toward the bathroom to take a shower.
As he left he never noticed the eyes following him.
--
Stepping under the water, Tsuna audibly sighed in relief as his muscles relaxed and the sweat washed away. As he let the water
clean away all his worries and tension he began to drift off into his thoughts.
"I had that dream again...Why? What does it mean?" He mumbled these things to himself, looking for no particular answer, yet hoping for
one at the same moment. He didn't understand why he kept having that dream and each time it got worse and as they continued he felt something was fading from his grasp
something important...yet he had no idea what it was.
After washing his hair and body Tsuna stepped out of the shower and shut off the water. He wrapped himself in a towel and went back to his room.
When he entered he tried to do so quietly, lest he wake anyone. He quietly dressed in a clean pair boxers and jeans and grabbed a plain t-shirt. He had no idea where
he was going, but he knew he had to leave. If he went back to sleep he risked encountering that dream, and if he stayed home and awake he risk waking someone and facing
a painful repruction. So he left not knowing he was being watched.
As he walked down the dark street feeling extremely stupid for leaving at this hour without any protection, but knew he couldn't go back yet, nor did he want to.
He continued to wander further from his house, unsure of where he was going and not caring, even though it was dangerous.
The street lights did little to illuminate, but that night was a full moon and it made up for the lack of light the electricity produced. He stopped once and nearly lost himself as he
stared at the large orb that lit the night.
Soon he was walking again, this time he was ensnared by his own thoughts as he kept his pace. 'I wonder what time it is...What time would it be in italy? Is it night or day there?
What was it like? Could you see the moon this clearly? What were the people like there? Will I ever go there? Will I have to live there in the future or will I remain in Japan?'
He couldn't help but wonder what the future held in store for him if the dreams he kept having were truly premonitions.
Tsuna didn't notice that someone was following him, and had been since he passed by a park a few blocks back, nor did he notice the glint of a blade. He didn't notice until it was too late.
--
He felt his throat constrict and the scream the was trying to be let loose was held back. He watched in mute horror as the knife, as if in slow motion, plunged into his
side and his own blood sprayed from the wound coloring everything it touched red.
He lifted his hand and stared at the crimson liquid that dyed it in fascination, it was so beautiful as it reflected the light.
'so...pretty...' He didn't know why, but everything seemed to fade out and he could only see his blood. He could not hear the beating of his own heart or that of the man who stabbed him.
He couldn't hear the ragged breaths or wheezes, he couldn't see the horror stricken eyes of the desperate man who was driven by poverty to stab him for neccesity of money. He couldn't
smell the heavy scent of the alchohol that had motivated the man to the act of desperation.
He felt a small smile on his lips as his world began to fade and the full impact of the crime he commited hit the poverty striken man. But it was already too late and the deed was done.
Tsuna struggled to stay awake as darkness began to take over, but they were futile.
'Stop your resistance...sleep...just sleep and you will be home when you awake.' The voice was somehow familiar, but he couldn't place it and he was quickly fading and
he was no longer fighting it.
He just wanted to rest for a little while, just a little while.
--
"Tsu!..."
Who's voice was that? He knew it, but he couldn't remember...and he didn't really want to. He was too tired. Couldn't he just sleep? Why were they yelling so loud?
"Tsu..."
Would who ever it was, just shut up? His head was hurting and the light was only making it worse. He covered his mouth as he felt a yawn coming.
"Tsuna!"
He grunted in response and opened his eyes to see Reborn staring at him.The grin on the child's face caused him to fully wake up.
"Hiiii! Reborn!" The Hitman's grin faded as Tsuna sat up quickly and winced, only slightly but he still caught it. "Oi! Tsuna whats wrong?" He voiced his thoughts upon seeing a the wince.
Quickly Tsuna wrapped his arm around his mid-section.
"I-I dunno...I think I have a stomache ache!" The boy quickly dashed to the bathroom and away from further questioning, much to his home tutors dismay. Reborn felt a slight frown
as he saw Tsuna rush away. Something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was...yet.
Tsuna gripped his side as it started to ache, but when he felt the material beneath his hand become wet he pulled his hand away only to stare in horror as his shirt was dyed in red.
He removed his shirt to asses the damadge only to see a shameful first aid job. He then realized the previous night was not a dream, it was all too real. Taking a deep breath and leaning
against the door he thought of what to do.
Telling anyone was out of the question because they would be out for blood if they knew. He also needed to find out what happened after he blacked out, how did he get home and
(terribly) bandaged.
He removed the soiled wraps only to flinch at the sight of the the stab wound he remembered recieving and large diagonal cut onlong his ribs aswell as few other scratches he did
NOT remember recieving.
A shiver of fear wracked his body as he realized something happened to him that he didn't remember in the period he was out, he couldn't help the feeling of terror for unknown reasons
filling him. He quickly shook it off and rewrapped his wounds properly unknowing he was being watched by someone, someone who he would least expect.
--
He watched silently as Tsuna carefully wrapped the wounds he had wrapped and tend to the wounds he hadn't meant to cause. He felt himself grin.
"This is just the begining my little Tsuna-chan..." His voice sung merrily as he continued to safely watch the boy try to hide the evidence of any wounds.
