Hey readers from all over. Another story of our beautiful 8027. It's something I haven't really consider writing, but it was just lying around. And since I have other stories I need to update, this might be update a lot later. But I'll work hard to keep going. I haven't really competed the whole story so I'm going to wing it like I always do. So enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Or the song.
Chapter 1: Meeting You For The First Time
In a far land where only a princess is imprisoned in a high tower, only few knew about her. The princess was called, or what they known her for, lonely star princess. It may sound unusual and silly, but reasonable. As the sky wears its moon pendent with its starry friends in a large village, only a single star emerges itself in the dark sky where the princess rest in the high tower. Those few would see the beautiful princess staring at the lonesome star at a single window. She had a lonely expression spread across her light tan skin as if she understands the emerging star.
As the day fade along with sun's bright light, a noble prince, well-known in society, stumble his way towards the princess' tower.
The prince appears to be in his sixteens. He had short spiky dark hair with chocolate brown eyes. He was known for his cheerful, out-going personality. Not only that, he has a tendency of leaving the castle without informing a single soul. His laughter and smile is his trademark point.
After a long stroll around the forest, he chose to rest near the castle, not knowing anything about it. The prince settled down his bag and searched for any nearby riverbanks. Spotting one not too far, he hurried his way swiftly.
As he was about to fill his hands with clear water, he heard a gentle melodious voice not too far from where he was standing. The voice was getting clearer and closer as he drew himself to it. The voice was hypnotizing enough for anyone to stop their tracks and listen to this melody from a mysterious person. As he continued to search the angelic voice, he spots a single body wearing a pure white spaghetti dress in the riverbank with her chocolate brown hair clinging to her back. Only her back was showed at him.
"Do you remember when we made a promise on that day?" She sang sweetly.
The prince had no choice, but to listen.
That our hearts will always be one, no matter where we're at?
In this natural world where you're next to me,
I shouldn't be able to say "goodbye" here and now.
This song sounds as if it was calling to someone.
Here...we're here; hold our hands together; don't let go,
An image of this female shedding a tear was hard to surpass. Was this song yearning for someone? Was this person... lonely? The prince couldn't help, but frown at all the thoughts that ran in his peaceful mind. Who is this person calling to?
Hey, don't disappear; I don't want to forget about you.
Because you exist, I exist.
Please don't disappear; don't leave me on my own.
I'm thinking of you with all of my heart.
This song has a sad melody. A sorrowful message.
The future where I believed that nothing would change,
Is an endless story that we'll walk through together.
Tears dripped down to the prince's chin as the sadness overwhelmed him. Did she let go of the one she loved? The thought itself was saddening enough. Why sing a sad song when you can sing a cheerful one instead? The answer was simple; this song is expressing her reasons, emotions.
Even if I lose all of this world,
I want to just keep protecting your smile.
Alone...all alone, I can't search for the answer.
The prince can feel the message the song was giving. It was crystal clear as broad daylight. The emotion matched the song's message. Even the tears that were never there to begin with made its way out the prince's chocolate brown eyes continuously.
Hey, don't disappear; I don't want to forget about you,
I don't need a me who doesn't know about you.
The prince took a step closer, trying his best not to make a slight sound.
Please don't disappear; don't leave me on my own,
I'm thinking of you with all of my heart.
He wanted to hold her, comfort her. He wanted to get rid of the sad feeling she had. Maybe then she can sing a melody that can fill the heart with happiness. To make her happy.
Hey, don't disappear; I don't want to forget about you,
Because I'll become a me who can protect you.
Please don't disappear; don't leave me on my own,
I'm thinking of you with all of my heart.
The distance between him and mysterious person was shortening with one step away. As he reached out his hand towards her way, a sudden sound of a twig snapping echoed. A simple mistake.
The female turned around to see an out reached hand and a prince coming her way. She panicked. In one swift movement, she escaped the riverbank and made way to the tower, her home. Looking back, she saw the man from before following her. She panicked much more and made a hasty run. Who is this man and why was he following me? Those thoughts didn't last long when she saw the tower she recognizes for a long period of time. She opened and closed the door quickly before the strange man could even get to her. Sound of her heartbeats reached her ear as she lean against the wooden door, trying to catch her breath.
On the other side of the wooden door, the prince continuously knocks to get the female to open it. He only wanted to speak with her, nothing else.
"Please, I just want to talk that's all." He shouted at the door.
Still, the female refuses to open the door.
"Please. I want to know about you." His voice became a whisper.
Slowly, she opened the door to reveal half her face. The prince was drawn to her beautiful honey colored eyes. It was nothing he ever seen in his life.
"Who are you and what is it that you want?" She asked sharply.
"I'm prince Yamato. It means great harmony. My palace is far from here. And I just want to be friends with you." Yamato smiled.
The mysterious female eyes widen. She never heard anyone say that to her before. It was so strange to her. Instead, she smiled back to the male and stepped out of the tower. The prince took hold of what was in front of him. She was beautiful. Her long light brown hair reached her back; she has a slime body with her light tan skin matching it, her aura was childish and innocent, and her eyes. Oh her honey colored eyes were like a diamond. Words can't describe how she was to him.
"My name is Tsukiko. It means moon child."
"What a strange name."
"I could say the same to you mister." She gave a huff.
"Maybe, but I-"
"Tsuna?"
Tsuna looked away from his book and looked up at one of his best friend, Yamamoto Takeshi. Tsuna closed his book and placed it on his lap knowing that once someone is around him, he won't be able to finish. Tsuna smiled.
"What is it Yamamoto-kun?"
"Um Gokudera wanted me to tell you that he has a few errands to run for the kid and won't be able to walk you home today."
"Okay. I'll walk home myself."
"How about I walk you home Tsuna?"
Tsuna'syes widen as he stared at the baseball lover.
"Eh? But I thought you have baseball practice."
"I don't think they'll mind if I skipped one practice."
Tsuna sighed as he smiled. Lately, things changed after the trip from the future. But nothing major though. Everyone is still the same as he remembered them. And he is also getting harsh training from Reborn even though there is no need for it now. He is still considered a Spartan in Tsuna's book.
Tsuna rose to his feet as he took the book and joined it on the shelf with the others. He looked back at his Rain Guardian.
"Let's go Yamamoto-kun."
Yamamoto nodded as he walked beside his friend. The trip from the library to the gates of the school was quiet strangely. Not a single word uttered from both males. Usually there was a lot to talk about. Topics leading to other topics that were simple and pointless to serious and meaningful. Where did that all go?
"What was the story you were reading Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked curiously.
"Oh. It's about a princess meeting up with this prince who wanted to be friends. That's how far I got on the story."
"Wow. Maybe I should try reading that."
Tsuna laughed. This is what he was waiting for. Yamamoto continued on talking about how a baseball game was coming this week and he was going to make sure that he is going to get a homerun. And how the trip to the future was a fun experience, but he wonders how the Mafia game can make that possible. It was all fond memories to the both of them.
"So Tsuna, how are you and Sasagawa?"
Tsuna blushed at the name. After what happened in the future, he realized that it was just admiration, not love. But he has yet to find that special someone.
"Oh, well I think my love for Kyoko was actually admiration. But I'm still going to find who is the right one for me someday."
"And what if the one you love was a guy? Would you still love him?"
Tsuna's eyes widen. If he fell in love with a guy? Wouldn't that be a bit strange?
"I don't really see it."
"Oh." Yamamoto didn't really put much enthusiasm in it.
"But if it turns out that way, I guess I'll accept him too."
That moment Yamamoto stopped walking. Tsuna turned back to see Yamamoto's darkening his eyes so he didn't show any emotion.
"Yamamoto-kun?"
Yamamoto looked at Tsuna desperately, as if in need, and took hold of both Tsuna's shoulders. Tsuna noticed how shaky Yamamoto was and how nervous he was behaving. It looked like he had something important to say. It made Tsuna worried for some reason.
"Then, Tsuna I really wanted to tell you that I-"
"Ciaossu." Reborn interrupted.
"Reborn!" Tsuna shouted.
"Kid!"
"Did I interrupt something?" He smirked.
Yamamoto let go of Tsuna as he stared at the baby. Tsuna could feel his chest beating rapidly. Was Yamamoto trying to confess to him or something? No, it couldn't be. Yamamoto wouldn't like a Useless Tsuna. Especially when he has a lot of admirers that he has in school. Or maybe Gokudera would fit him perfectly. They may have argue a lot, well only Gokudera yells while Yamamoto laughs, but they get along very well.
"No, nothing important."
"Good. Tsuna, Mama wants you to buy some vegetable. Now."
Feeling a bit threaten, Tsuna said goodbye to Yamamoto and ran to do his errands. That left Yamamoto with Reborn. Just when Yamamoto was about to leave too, Reborn stopped him before he could move a muscle.
"I see that you have a little crush on Dame-Tsuna. How interesting."
Yamamoto only blushed at the comment.
"But I think it's best if you get rid of them."
"What? Why?"
"Emotions are not needed in the Mafia."
With that, Reborn disappeared. Yamamoto only stared at the empty spot where the infant once stood. Emotions are not needed? The words itself was a bit painful.
"Get rid of them, huh."
Yamamoto remains silent. How can he get rid of it when it's half of him? He sighed and continues his way home.
"I love Tsuna Sawada. That feeling is a part of me for a long time now."
