I heard the loud crack of the first bullet then the thunderous roar of the thousands of bullets after that. I heard Byakuran's sickly-sweet laughter that always made my skin crawl. I heard the shouts of my guardians and the cries of pain soon after (the enemies). I heard the clattering of steel and iron against marble as the Millfiore soldiers fled, leaving their weapons behind. I could distinguish the voices of each and every one of my guardians as they cried for to get up, to tell them it's alright. I heard some of them plead for Reborn to do something.I heard it, but I didn't respond.
"Tsuna, TSUNA!" Yamamoto Takeshi, my rain guardian. His smiles were so bright, yet, calm in an odd sort of way. Just being around him could wash away all your troubles and leave only peace and and this light feeling, fluffy almost.
"B-Boss? Boss, please wake up." Dokuro Chrome… Nagi, my half mist. So quiet and gentle and she had quite a kind heart but few could ever feel it because it's hiding behind this wall of fear of getting hurt and shyness.
"T-Tsu-nii? Tsuna! WAH! WAKE UP! THE GREAT LAMBO-SAMA DEMANDS YOU TO WAKE UP!" Lambo of the Bovino family, my thunder guardian, my little brother. When he was younger he used to cry at the smallest thing. He still cries more than a fifteen year old should, but he's gotten better. He finally gotten rid off his afro and that horrible cow suit.
"SAWADA! THIS IS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR!" Sasagawa Ryohei, my sun guardian. Loud, energetic, bright (in aura, not brains). He was the very definition of the sun. I can still remember when he would scream 'EXTREME' in every other sentence. He's mellowed out over the years but he's still the Onii-san I know.
"Ju- JUUDAIME!" Gokudera Hayato, my right hand man, my storm guardian. He too had calmed down after ten years. He no longer bangs his head against the floor as he does a sliding grovel1 near my feet but does try to 'appease for his sins'.
But out of all of these there were only two voices that mattered, no matter how quiet or mocking, they were the only ones that resounded in my head.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, what are you doing?" Hibari Kyoya, my cloud guardian, one of my lovers.
"Oya, Decimo it's not nice to play dead." Rokudo Mukuro, my mist guardian, my other lover.
Fear, demands, pleads, more demands, cries of unfairness, and pure panic. I heard this from all of my guardians… except those two. They're voices were pure calm. I smiled up at them.
"I'll be back-" I coughed out a mouthful of blood, "- I just… need… some time." Sucking in a big breath I finished. " That and a nice long nap." A single tear rolls down my face. The very thought of never seeing them again could send me to the brink of madness. I really hope my intuition is right like it always is, I really do. Before I finally slip into the dark abyss called death I heard the words that would make my predictions come true.
"Then we'll wait for your return."
And then nothing.
1) if anyone can guess where I got this I'll (probably) make you a story
