A/N: This is my first story, I know I said I didn't want to make one, but I wanted to try. Plus, there's a large chance that no one will see this anyways. If you do, please review. Don't be mean though. I tried...

Tsuna was thinking. It was very unusual for him to be thinking willingly and without persuasion (-cough- force -cough-) from Reborn, but he was. The thing was..EVERYONE WAS ACTING STRANGE.

Hibari was only interested in fights and the protection of Namimori, Mukuro was Mukuro..and he didn't really trust Mukuro much. He still kind of feared him, plus he was kind of a pervert around him. He hadn't seen Chrome and when he does see her, she ignores him. (Okay not really ignore, but she doesn't really listen to him. She doesn't even call him Boss anymore and he missed it.) Ryohei was busy training extremely and creating new moves. Lambo only wanted Tsuna's mom, Nana and Gokudera and Yamamoto weren't hanging out with him much. Yamamoto was busy with the baseball club and Gokudera joined one of those other clubs where they search for extraterrestrial evidence for aliens. They talked to him occasionally of course, but they always got distracted by the other club members.

FLASHBACK
Tsuna, Yamamoto, and Gokudera were walking to Tsuna's house like usual. There was something very unusual though, Gokudera was twitchy. They were very large twitches, it shook his whole body and it was distracting Tsuna so much that when he walked past the Evil Chihuahua of Doom, he didn't notice it.
When they got to his room, Tsuna finally asked what was on his mind.
"Gokudera-kun, is there something wrong?"
"..."
Gokudera just stared at Tsuna. He twitched violently and his green eyes glazed over slightly.
"Gokudera-.." Tsuna started, when he was cut off.
"JUUDAIME! I'M SO SORRY I WORRIED YOU! THE OCCULT CLUB IS GOING ON A TRIP AND-"
Tsuna immediately knew what was bothering him.
"Gokudera-kun, you can go."
"BUT WHO WOULD PROTECT YOU JUUDAIME?! I CAN'T LEAVE YOU WITH THIS BASEBALL IDIOT!"
Said mentioned baseball idiot laughed at nothing.
"I can protect myself fine enough Gokudera-kun. Don't worry." Tsuna smiled slightly.
And it was true. Some of Reborn's hard work had paid off. Though he still needed help with schoolwork, his fighting had improved a great deal. He didn't tire as easily, but he was still prone to panic attacks. Which is good, cause he wouldn't be Tsuna without the girly scream.
"If Juudaime says so.."
"I'm sure."
Suddenly, Reborn appeared. Leon quickly changed into a gun.
"Dame-Tsuna, why haven't you started your homework yet?"
"HIIIIIEE!"
END OF FLASHBACK

That event changed everything. When he looks back on it, he thinks that he shouldn't have said Gokudera could go. Then he'd immediately abandon that train of thought, because he'd feel guilty.

He felt sorry for Yamamoto who'd thought his father was safe and blamed Tsuna for his death. For Mukuro, who now viewed him as that "disgusting Mafia scum" that experimented on him when he was younger. For Chrome, who hadn't said anything, but just cried and walked away. For Gokudera, who WAS torn between two sides, but finally picked a side. Gokudera had asked trembling "Why Juudaime, why? Why didn't you?" Tsuna hadn't had an answer. Ryohei, "Why Sawada?" Lambo, "WHY TSUNA-NII?" Hibari hadn't said anything, but gave him a dirty look.

But Tsuna mostly felt sorry for himself. He never had much self-esteem and to see his Guardians and precious people act that way and never hear him out nearly broke him. He didn't question what they said, if they said it was his fault for Yamamoto's Father's death, then it was.

"Oh Yamamoto, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault and why didn't my Hyper Intuition tell me anything? This is all my fault. I'm sorry..."
