Heyoh Noodles! I know some of you probably weren't expecting a sequel so soon! Well I wasn't either, I wanted to go back and correct mistakes in the first one however I wanted to get this out here real quick while I work on fixing up the first story! Which means if you haven't read the first Under The Sky then be sure to do that before you read this! Regardless here is the sequel! The last UTS had a focus on mystery and suspense, so this time I will add psychological in there as well as we dive into the human mind! Things will get trippy, scary, creepy, but also heart breaking and chop full of love! I learned from my last project, so this one will be much better than the original! Once again, full of symbolism, themes, and lessons. So let's see who can figure all that out! This time we also have dual protagonists on each side! Keiko and Tsuna will share this story, though mostly Tsuna. So that's cool! Also the story is more darker and much more mature, so once again if you feel you don't want to read some sensitive parts I will mark it so you don't have to! I ay even change it to Mature so I have mor efreedom to write some scenes. READ ON NOODLE
"Today marks the day that ten years have passed since that incident occurred. It was hard to explain what was going on since I was so young when it happened. I was only a five year old little girl, and already the world was so dramatic…so…different. From a very young age I had lost my mother who died mysteriously in a car crash, but luckily I met my father whom she talked about practically every day. Though now I can't remember everything she said, but it was enough to make me love my Papa so dearly, to admire him. I began living with him, and this woman I didn't like very much at first but warmed up to like she was my own mother. There were also other kind ladies with their own children whom I became friends with. However, strange things happened to me during that time…it was hard to understand…I remember the fear…the sadness…seeing my father…my papa…it's heart breaking to speak about now. But my therapists said it would be best if I write everything down in a journal. To write these memories down on paper because I can't speak about them so openly. So let me first begin by saying my name is Keiko Sawada…now a fifteen year old girl…in high school…and years ago…before the day the sky turned dark. My Father Tsunayoshi Sawada defeated the strongest foe he has ever encountered..."
Ten Years Ago
Tsunayoshi Sawada is sitting within his office within the mansion that belongs to Yuni. He has been staying there for the time being in Namimori until he can find his own apartment here. He has a lot of things on his mind like transferring schools from Tokyo to Namimori, being the Mafia Boss which is no simple task, and on top of that he has to be a father to four girls….
Tsuna had a few months ago become the father of a little girl named Keiko. Keiko is the daughter of Kyoko Sasagawa, whom was entrusted to Tsuna in her will to be taken care of before she…passed away. A mirror image of Kyoko herself, Keiko was a good child. A very good child, but unfortunately this little girl has terrible things surrounding her life which are hard for Tsuna to think about.
Having to be so young and go to her own mother's funeral, seeing the ones she loves get hurt, and the fate of becoming the next mafia boss after Tsuna. Since Tsuna discovered that Keiko is his biological daughter. A direct result of a mastermind by the name of Kiyoshi Fuji, a master bioengineer and scientist of human minds and emotions. He was able to create a drug to control people that allowed him to manipulate the Vongola. He did many terrible things, commit so many crimes, and probably even more hidden atrocities. He forced Chrome Dokuro who now goes by Nagi, to be raped and beaten by Mukuro without his own will. He manipulated members of Yuni's Family to kill each other, obliteration her Famiglia and leaving her alone. He forced Haru Miura's family to move so she could be alone in isolation. A similar isolation to the one Tsuna threw himself into after he had confessed to Kyoko…only to be rejected by her.
Tsuna knows not how much of his life was being controlled by someone else, being completely manipulated by one man! One man who thought he was life itself, which now makes Tsuna contemplate such a thing. Life always throws hardships our way, no matter how terrible they may be. However, we need this to occur so we can grow and become better people. And Tsuna hates to admit it, but because of Kiyoshi he did become a better person. He was stronger, wiser, and he felt his heart was better because of it. Everyone became a better person because of what had occurred. That was the thing that tore Tsuna in two, the person he hated the most…helped him so much in the darkest of ways. Tsuna slams his fist on his desk as now his mind is filled with such thoughts.
Tsuna had defeated Kiyoshi…or at least that's what he thought. Kiyoshi Fuji's plans were crushed by Tsuna refusing to go along with them anymore, but Tsuna's refusal was all a part of the plan. Kiyoshi had commit suicide with his body found outside his base of Mount Fuji. He was dead for sure. All the mysteries were solved, and everything was fine except for one thing. Tsuna is now being haunted, tortured, and is now living a nightmare every day. A literal nightmare…
He can no longer read words so easily, sometimes not at all as if he has a form of Dyslexia. He sometimes sees he has more digits on his hands and feet, blurriness of the things around him, and sometimes when he looks in the mirror he sees not himself but some monster of himself. These were all signs of a person who is dreaming. Yes, Tsuna is stuck somewhere between dream and reality. A fantasy world and the real one where he can no longer tell the difference between the two sides. Because another prominent aspect of dreams…are speaking to dead people…and one dead person has been constantly showing in Tsuna's life. Every day, every hour, and every waking minute this person is beside Tsuna! Taunting him! Torturing him! Guiding him deeper into this never ending nightmare! The woman whose death he believes…is his fault. He is the murderer…he never intended for it to happen…he had no control! But they say in dreams, one's guilt is reciprocated in them. Sometimes a monster that you try to run away from is a symbol of a problem you face in life. Tsuna's guilt…his despair…his fears…all in the form…of…
"Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all…"
That terrible lullaby that Tsuna hears constantly, she sings it from time to time. There she was, sitting in front of Tsuna's desk casually while reading a book that Tsuna couldn't tell what the title said on its cover. That wicked smile she had on her face as she sung the lullaby, that dastardly look in her brown eyes. That terrifying appearance of a pure white wedding dress with white heels, complimented by her auburn hair, and serene white skin of her body. If this had been the past Tsuna then he surely would tell himself he is dreaming to see such…a beautiful woman. But Tsuna was horrified now, because he was staring at a dead woman. Kyoko Sasagawa who was sitting in front of him.
"Must you always…sing that lullaby?" Tsuna asked her with a clear sense of dread in his tone of voice. Tsuna took a deep breath and held it in as he stared at her intensely. She smiled as her narrowed eyes looked upon Tsuna with a grin stretched across her face.
"Oh?" She said speaking a mocking tone. "Is there something the matter…Tsuna-Kun? Do you not like…that lullaby? I oh so enjoy it dearly, it has so many meanings that are still debated today on what it means you know. However, commonly is simply about a baby…who is put. To. Sleep," She said stressing that word to Tsuna. Sleep. How long has it truly been since Tsuna has slept? Or perhaps he is sleeping even now? The horror of it all, to not know what is real and what isn't. This Kyoko, closed her book and crossed her legs as she stared at Tsuna. Keeping the grin on her face as she looked at him.
"You look so tired Tsuna…why don't you and I go to bed now? Just like before…" Kyoko said as she lifted up her dress to show off her legs, and was inches away from showing her under side. "Aren't you curious? Do you not desire me? I thought you loved me Tsuna-kun! Why don't you let your true self dictate that heart of yours, running away from yourself is a race you cannot win…" She said as she stuck her tongue out and licked her finger provocatively. Her luscious lips that looked exactly like Kyoko's, her red tongue that Tsuna once dreamed about invading his mouth for deep kisses. She was tempting him, and Tsuna knew this.
"Shut up! I loved…you…no…I loved the real Kyoko Sasagawa! You can't be her! She's…dead! And you…are some abomination of this nightmare!" Tsuna shouted at her. Kyoko looked playfully sad and spoke in a baby like tone.
"Oh…Tsuna-Kun…have I been a bad girl? I am so sorry to hear you say that…I…I feel terrible…maybe you should punish me then…?" She said with puppy dog eyes that sparkled in the light before she appeared right in front of Tsuna in an instant. She was sitting in his lap with her arms wrapped around his neck. Tsuna tried to lean away from her or quickly get out the seat but he was paralyzed. Tsuna's face however could show emotions he thought and he tried to show none however. He wouldn't give this…Kyoko…any satisfaction from seeing his emotions. He damned her strange ways to use abilities similar to dreams.
Sleep Paralysis, was one of her more than annoying abilities she had over Tsuna. Sleep paralysis was a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening; temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle weakness. It is commonly believed our minds do this so we do not act out what we are doing in our sleep. Yet she uses it constantly to make sure Tsuna can't get away from her.
"Come on Tsuna-Kun…you know you want me so badly. You've always wanted me…" She said as she leaned her head in close to Tsuna's face as if to kiss him but instead moved to the side of his head to whisper in his ear. Her voice speaking so softly, in the voice Tsuna once loved so much. Now caused him to feel such anger and sadness at the same time!
"You don't think I knew what you felt for me? What you thought about me? You're a guy through and through; right now your body is being honest with me…hehe..." She said looking down as she rubbed her bottom against Tsuna. Tsuna kept a straight face and ignored whatever his body may want of this. He refused to give in, and refused to let lust conquer his sense of reasoning.
"So why don't you just give in? Take me…make me your one and only. Forget Haru…" Kyoko said which Tsuna now could not ignore. He glared at her and muttered in her small ear, "I will never abandon her. I love her…" He said angrily but Kyoko just laughed in his ear. "Do you? Do you really love Haru? Or perhaps you truly love Nagi? Or Yuni? Or me…? Let's be honest here, your heart is divided amongst us four! You are what Hell of a person Tsuna…falling in love with so many girls. Hmph, but then again we all fell in love with you. However, I am the one who had your child so I suppose that means you like me the best?" She said in his ear finally before pulling away and began to pull down her dress to reveal her chest to Tsuna. Her bosom out in full view for Tsuna to see, the memories of which Tsuna knew was deep within his mind from when he first saw them. The night they did make love, and Kyoko was pregnant with Keiko.
Kyoko then put her arms around Tsuna's neck once more. Showing that her arms won't cover up her chest at all, she is giving herself up to him. Tsuna felt he had movement in his arms again, apparently so he can use them on her. But Tsuna kept his arms at his side and refused to move at all or say anything.
"Oh don't be like that Tsuna-kun! I know you better than you know yourself! You hate being alone, your thoughts, your feelings; your mind eats you alive! But yet you persist on being alone once again. Here we are alone in your room; you don't come out much anymore. Leaving poor Haru to wonder where your relationship is going? Oh I know my best friend quite well too; you see she will cry through the nights. Wondering what she did wrong? Is she good enough? Can she help you at all? Oh woe is Haru!" Kyoko proclaimed with her hand upon her temple, acting as a damsel in distress. She was truly angering Tsuna, how dare she use Kyoko's face, her voice, and say such things about Haru!
"Ah! You're angry with me aren't you Tsuna? But you know…right now I am real. I am Kyoko. I am inside of your head, so you can't hide anything from me. I know everything you know, all your secrets and hopes! I can see it all like watching television. Even the things you like to bury deep inside of yourself…hmm…let's see…oh like Haru's body…she is quite the lovey woman isn't she?"
"Stop it…" Tsuna muttered to her. He didn't want her to go on, he wanted her to stop! He had enough of this!
"Her full naked body…so lovely…now as a girl I can tell you that even from my point of view she is gorgeous…so beautiful! What do you like about her most? Hmm her smile? So pathetic of you! Do you not long for the feeling of a woman's chest, the plumpness of a female's posterior? The curves that only a woman can possess as one her greatest assets to her form? Oh I know you so well Tsuna! I know you love Haru, but you can't deny your love for them all! You only went out with Haru because she was first!" Kyoko said mockingly.
"That is not true!" Tsuna shouted back at her.
"Yes it is!" She shouted back with a glare before on her face before she turned it back to that smile of hers. "You know…a thought just occurred to me! You are the mafia boss of the Vongola. The strongest mafia Family in the world! You can do…anything Tsuna. Anything at all. So why not…just have all four of us to yourself Tsuna?" Kyoko said to Tsuna whose eyes widened.
"Polygamy? You mean marry all four of them? N-no…that…is impossible! It's illegal to do that!" Tsuna told her but Kyoko put a finger to his mouth and told him hush little baby.
"Why not? You speak as if the mafia is legal? You speak as if the mafia world upholds the rules of everyday society. You're the boss Tsuna! You can have us all! You can have everything…think about it…" She whispered as Tsuna felt himself casted away into another world.
(Mature Scene:Read at your own discretion! Nothing too rated M or Adult like, but once again for those younger readers I would suggest not reading this! Even though I know you probably will anyway, but don't say I am not a good role model!)
He found himself opening his eyes to the ceiling where he saw Haru's face moving in his eyesight. Brown ponytail, brown eyes, and that lovely smile Tsuna knew so well.
"H-Haru…? Is that…really you?" Tsuna asked Haru who smiled at him. Haru put a hand on Tsuna's check and rubbed it passionately. Tsuna rose his head up to see to his surprise that Haru wasn't wearing any clothes at all and neither was he. Before Tsuna could ask what is going on Haru shushed him with a finger to Tsuna's mouth. She pushed him back down to the bed and began kissing his chest slowly. It felt heavenly to Tsuna and he slowly found himself caught in her pace. That's when he looked over to his left to see Nagi standing there with nothing but a towel on! Her long purple hair that fell to her shoulders that was drenched in water. Tsuna questioned why she was here in embarrassment, he tried to move but he couldn't!
Nagi then dropped the towel from herself and showcased her womanly body. She then joined them on the bed as she got behind Tsuna and let her lap be used as a pillow for Tsuna. He could look up to see her chest and her purple eyes staring at him with a smile. Tsuna discovered he could no longer speak when he looked in front of him to see Yuni was there too without clothes. She was aiding Haru in her kisses as they moved down his chest. Her solemn black eyes and short black hair, she was beautiful. Haru was too, and so was Chrome. What was going on? No he enjoys this too much to care. Wait, was he telling himself? He should care? But this feels so good!
That's when he was finally joined by Kyoko in this world of his. She was naked like the rest of the girls and she crawled onto the bed as Haru and Yuni moved to the side to let her be on top of Tsuna. She then allowed Tsuna to enter her body as he felt the pleasure run through him. She began to pant as she then leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Rock-A-Bye Baby…."
This was the world Kyoko wanted him to see? A world where all four of them was his alone? He could do anything he wanted to with these girls could he not? They were his…they were like his toys? Yes, they were like toys for him. Their feelings? He could perhaps easily convince them to be joined together like this if he tried hard enough? Could he truly convince him of this? But they all loved him…and isn't love easy to manipulate? Kiyoshi did it easily…to them so why not Tsuna…that's when Tsuna looked into the eyes of the girls around him. They were off, they seemed different! Their eyes were not the ones that were filled with such powerful emotions. Love, hope, pain, and heart…they did not hold those powerful emotions!
No! This is but a dream! A delusion that Kyoko wanted to convince him of! Tsuna woke himself up from this dream, he found himself back in his office where he pushed Kyoko off of him to the floor. He stood up panting as he rubbed his head that sweating, he was drenched. He looked down at Kyoko who smiled as looked up at him.
"Awh…you ruined the fun before I could truly enjoy myself. Then again you looked like you enjoyed yourself more…hehe…isn't love so great Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko said as she appeared next to Tsuna again. She seems able to appear anywhere to Tsuna, as she is in his head. Everything she does is just in Tsuna's head! He knows it! But he does not know how or why? For what reason? This had to be Kiyoshi's doing! He did something to Tsuna but he didn't know what! And he isn't able to get away from this demon to try to figure it out.
Then Tsuna heard Haru's voice outside the door calling out to him. Of all times for Haru to show up, it had to be now? When he was having thoughts of other women? Thinking about other women's bare bodies that lied before him like fruits in a basket. He felt the shame of it all weigh down on his neck. The guilt that made his heart drop and his stomach feel ill. How could he face Haru now? Kyoko was just smiling at him and motioning to the door.
"What are you waiting for Tsuna-Kun? Aren't you going to answer her? Speak to her? I understand it may be hard to speak to the girl you're dating when you're insane! But trust me a good conversation starter would be. 'Haru! I am seeing your dead best friend! She wants to have sex with me, she wants me to marry many women, and she wants…me!' That works well right?" She said as she taunted him. Tsuna ignored her but she was partially right. Tsuna couldn't tell Haru, he just couldn't! Because he knew if he did then Haru would try to help him. But he knows…Haru can't do anything for him. Kyoko is in his head, and could tear the two apart at any moment! He couldn't go to Nagi or Yuni either! Kyoko had him trapped, and he had to handle this himself.
Haru asked if Tsuna was okay, and wanted to talk.
"Hey…we haven't spoken in a while…I umm…know you're busy with mafia work like you said. I just thought that…maybe..I don't know I could help you out? Or you could take a break for a moment and it can be just us you know!" Haru said from the other side of the door. Kyoko laughed as Haru said it would be just them. Kyoko put up three fingers and winked as Tsuna wanted to do so many things to her but couldn't! He calmed himself down and spoke from the other side of the door he walked over to.
"Ah…I…I'm sorry Haru. I know..I really should take a break…so umm…" Tsuna looked back to Kyoko who was actually motioning him to go on with her hand. It surprised Tsuan but everything this woman does surprises him.
"Yeah! Yeah! I'll be out in a moment, just got to finish some things and maybe we can go out. Let's bring Keiko to the park; she has been dying for us to take here there!" Tsuna said with a smile. He couldn't tell but Haru was so relieved to hear Tsuna say that. She has been longing to go out with Tsuna for some time now, and perhaps finally Haru could be with Tsuna. Haru agreed and told Tsuan she was going to get ready with Keiko. He heard her footsteps as she walked away and Tsuna glared at Kyoko.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I did nothing wrong Tsuna-Kun,' She said grinning at him maliciously.
"Look…I don't know what the Hell you are or why you torture me like! Or what the Hell you want! But you BETTER not interfere with Haru, or Keiko, or anyone I care about! Leave their happiness alone!" Tsuna told her as he walked over to her and stared her in the eyes. He looked very fierce as he spoke so seriously. Kyoko stood up and looked him in the eyes, not intimidated in the slightest.
"You are in no place to command me Tsuna-kun. I run the show here…not…you! But…I'll play nice. I did get to see something good today…and of course you got to see something very nice too…" She said as she looked down at her chest. Tsuna pushed her aside as he went to put up the things from his desk and headed back to the door.
"Well, have fun with Haru and our daughter. Oh do take care of her; we don't want to leave her behind or anything. You do love her so much as I do! But let me tell you this Tsuna-Kun…you don't really want to be in love. It's painful, pointless, and overrated. And with me around, you won't need love," Kyoko said as she waved Tsuna goodbye. Tsuna had his hand on the doorknob and was tempted to run out this room. To leave this apparition of Kyoko behind and escape her for as long as he can. However, he didn't feel like he would be the Tsuna he knew he was. The person everyone knew and cared for. He turned his head around and looked at Kyoko who looked back at him.
"You know…I hate you now…I loved you once…but I hate you now. But my hate is misplaced…it's not your fault. Nothing is your fault…everything is my fault. Because I know you are hurt Kyoko…I know that deep down you're hurt and just because you can't see the wound. Doesn't mean it's not hurting," Tsuna said to Kyoko who stared at him for a moment silently. She just stared at him with a confused, somewhat angry, but confused look.
"You are a fool Tsuna-Kun…your mind is more insane than you realize. Saying that a dead person is hurt. You once told Keiko that when people die, they don't go anywhere. They stay by your side…and here I am right by your side. Torturing you every day…and yet…you say I am hurt? You are a fool!" She told him loudly. Tsuna nodded his head to this in agreement.
"I know…I am a fool. But I can't be mad at you for being here by my side. Because at least you can watch over Keiko, and see everyone you once loved again. It's nice seeing you again Kyoko, and I'm sorry that out of all the mistakes I've made. My biggest one…is what happened to you. I thought the only way to make you happy was to let you go, and so I did. But look what happened to you…I should've held onto you. Even as a friend…" Tsuna said finally before he waved goodbye to Kyoko and walked out the room. Leaving Kyoko by herself in this room. She then looked behind her to behind Tsuna's desk to the window. The sky was clear today, and didn't look so gloomy. That's when Kyoko suddenly fell to the ground in pain as she grabbed her head.
She began talking to herself as her body faded in and out. "You…how many times must I force you out! Stay away…he doesn't need you….he has me…I am in control right now! Not you! Now stay way…stop fighting…me…for control! I will not stop…until I destroy…his work…just like he destroyed me. Damn…you Kiyoshi…damn you! Look what you did to me…to everyone I cared about…to him! I will…fight you to the very end…and you too…me…"
