Kata you can't say I didn't try :)
* Italy, June 14th 2100
That night seemed to be darker than any other he had seen. Gusts of cold wind and few stars in the sky only added to the feelings of emptiness and helplessness that haunted him since the day everything started.
He was walking down a narrow path in the middle of a forest. He was smoking his last cigarette. He had promised to quit but didn't. Everything started to weigh down on him and not that it mattered any more person, that he gave the promise to, was leaving so what was the point. He wanted to come with but knew he couldn't. He ran his hand through his silver hair and heaved a sigh. Sometimes he wondered if the other knew what he did for him by becoming his friend. He shook his head, tucked his free hand in a pocket and drew a long smoke- probably not.
'I thought you quit.' He jumped. He was so lost in a thought that he didn't even notice a figure lining on a tree in front of him. It was him the person he thought of as best friend. Sawada Tsunayoshi. He didn't need to see him to know how he looked like. He was probably wearing his favourite hoody, cargo pants and snickers. His unruly brown hair stuck out in every direction while somewhat odd amber eyes hid behind caramel coloured contacts.
'Better say tried to Deci-' he started in apologetic tone but stopped himself before it was to late. Over the years he came to realise that Tsuna absolutely detested the title.
'Don't.' Tsuna answered coolly.
'I know, I'm sorry... Tsuna.' it had taken him years to call him Tsuna so he still slipped sometimes. After apology he could hear Tsuna smile when he spoke.
'Nothing to feel sorry about Hayato.' Tsuna answered an he couldn't not to smile as well. In spite everything that happened there was something about him that made people smile back.
'Now... have you done everything I asked you to?'
'Yes, but instead of a car you'll have to drive a hover bike. It's the only vehicle that no-one knows I own.' Hayato answered and drew another smoke.
'Both passports and ID's?' Hayato hummed in confirmation.
'The other one is on the name you wanted.'
'Good. What about a credit card and the money?'
'Half of million in both euros and US dollars. And credit card is on your name and debt will be paid from that foundation you talked about.' Tsuna just nodded. So far everything went as planed.
'Tsuna... where are you going?' he asked hesitantly. It was his last chance to find out but was aware that he wont get the answer or he'd get the one he didn't wanted to hear.
Tsuna was conflicted. He really wanted to tell Hayato where he headed but there was this small problem. Namely his devil incarnated tutor. He shuddered at the thought. Tsuna had no doubt that if he told even a word of where's he going the hell spawn will know it just by glancing at Hayato. With the last thought in mind Tsuna got an idea.
'I'll tell you this only once so, listen carefully. You'll lose me somewhere in Europe.' Hayato sighed again. He wanted to laugh at the fact he half expected the answer but just said 'Understood.' Tsuna shook his head. He will probably realise what he said when they lose every track of him but that was what he needed right now. He turned to leave but stopped abruptly. He couldn't allow himself to leave without saying this one thing.
'One more thing Hayato... Take care of Lambo for me, will you?' He didn't know why but annoying, little Bovino had become like a brother to him.
'Yeah. I'll do it. You couldn't leave Ahooushi in better hands.'
'I know.'
With that he took off without saying goodbye. There was something that told him they'll meet again.
*Japan, 5 years later
He woke up with a start. Few minutes passed before he realised he was on a train. He yawned and rubbed sleep from his eyes. He looked out of the window, glanced at his watch and sighed deeply. In 30 minutes he'll arrive at place he remembered as home. It was hard but he was finally there. He came back to Namimori.
After he left from Italy, exactly 5 years ago, he travelled Europe for a year. He always left something behind so they could track him. He even let himself get caught once, twice... he didn't remember how many times he actually let it happen.
Part of him nagged him about it saying he did it because he wanted to come back to his family. To everything that was familiar and comforting. Other part made him to dismiss those thoughts completely and follow the plan because he couldn't let himself to be caught up in something he disliked, detested even.
So he left Europe as soon as possible and went to America, but never settled for one place and when 2 years passed he finally came to Japan. First year in Japan he spent as those in America- moving around, skipping towns. Then he stopped a year after and settled in Tokyo. In stead of moving city he just found another apartment and moved every month or two.
He avoided any news that had anything to do with Vongola and Arcobaleno. And that will prove as his biggest mistake.
'Welcome to Namimori train station...'
He snapped out of his thoughts and started to leave the train along with other passengers. When he got off the platform and out of the station he saw his hover bike parked on the side of the road. He walked to it, put a helmet and drove in direction of his new apartment.
