Summary: Tsuna killed someone to protect his friends and family but they took it in the wrong way and abandoned him because of it. While they're gone Tsuna stood here waiting for them but they never came. So Reborn thought of a plan to get back at them by sending Tsuna away and alarming the Guardians that Tsuna had ran away. What will they do now to get him back? Can they get him back?

Tsuna's words in dream
Chapter 1: The Start
It's a beautiful pleasant day in the Vongola headquarter mansion where our Vongola Decimo is sitting behind his desk signing all the paperwork. To outsiders, it would seem like a normal sight for a boss to do his work like that, correct? Well, not exactly in this case. Many things were wrong with it, to be honest. The brunet's usual bright honey brown eyes had lost most of its shine. His body fragile and pale from not eating or getting enough sleep. Still, his eyes never abandoning the determination and strength with his body structure being straight and proud just like a true boss. It just weakened a bit due to one certain event. An event that punches the air out of the strong male and made him break but still, Tsuna kept his stand and never truly back down.
Now, you're wondering what the problem is, aren't you? Well, it's because of his dear friends he would think of as his own family. Oh, how it broke him when his Guardians turn their backs to him and left, abandoning him. The problem, well as simple as it sounds, his Guardians hated the fact that their sky, brother, boss, and a friend had "dirty" his hand with his first kill. Yes, Tsuna had killed. But why? Well, they don't know because they wouldn't take a second to look at him much less listen.
It tears the young Vongola to pieces when his beloved family had left saying that they want to have distances from him for the time being. Tsuna could only force a smile and before he could even [hesitantly] agree, they all got packed and left. Each day was getting harder for the young man to keep calm without his elements by his side. Each day was filled with crying and stressing himself with work to forget that he's no longer wanted by those stood by him through thick and thin. After all of that, Tsuna would tell you each time that he would never regret spilling blood with his own hands. Because he knew he did it to protect his family from harm even if it's now killing him on the inside. Sure, he will get confused and get depressed about it but never will he say that he want to change what he did. He is their sky so of course, he would protect them with his all no matter what. That's what he swore to do the moment he dragged them into this as his official Guardians on the day he take the throne as Vongola Decimo.
Now back to the present, sniffing can be heard throughout the mansion reaching every person's ear. Knowing what was happening and that no matter how much they try to cheer their boss up, they can only go so far. Taking a moment to sent a prayer to the poor crying soul and head back to their work but keeping an ear open for him in case he had collapsed again. Stomping echoes through the eerie place heading straight to the office of Tsuna as quick as they could. Slamming the door open to find the brunet on the ground next to his desk weeping to himself. Looking up to see the mature young woman whom he has loved for so long. The one who rushed to his side after hearing the news about that event and how her brother and the others had reacted to it. The one who will rush to his side to pick him when he's breaking down. Sasagawa Kyoko.
"K-Kyoko-chan." a weak whisper came from his mouth as he continues to sniff and shiver.
"Tsu-kun." her eyes soften and pulling him into an embrace giving him the warmth he was missing. "I'm here now. Everything will be fine so, please. Stop hurting yourself."
"I-I…." what was he going to say? 'I'm sorry?' or 'It's not my fault!' or what?!
"Shhhh. It's fine now. You're not wrong. No one is." comforting him with her words as best as she can. She too knows that she can only pull him out of the misery for a short moment before it will all repeat again. But Kyoko doesn't mind, she doesn't mind being there for her lover to get him through the hard time he's facing now. Even if she had to sacrifice her own family to be here with him. What can she do other than comfort him? She isn't the right ones that can heal the wound in his heart no matter what she tries. She understands that perfectly but still she's here with him.
"I…...I miss them. I miss my friends and family!" wrapping arms around her waist pulling her closer. He needs the missing warmth even if it only going to last the moments they're touching. Crying about his friends and family that had left him. How he only want them to be back in the mansion and that's all he ask for. He doesn't mind if they're not going to talk to him but he wants to see them and watch over them with his own eyes. It's the normal routine that Tsuna will cry it all out before fainting from the tiredness of all the work he forces upon himself. Kyoko would be there with him hugging, patting, and whispering comfort words to him never complaining once.
Watching him as he sleeps peacefully, his arms still tightly attach around her. Looking over at the shadow of the office meeting the eyes of the hitman who had entered not long ago. They looked over the sleeping male and carefully as possible they move him from the ground to the couch. The brunet snuggles closer to his source of warmth as the two smile fondly at him.
"How long will this goes on?" Kyoko asked the other.
"As long as those fucking Guardians don't get their acts together and realize their mistakes. As long as it takes for the elements to reunite with him again." Reborn harshly said almost spitting out the words 'Guardians' and 'elements'. Do they still deserve that title?
Caressing her lover's check observing him seeing how much he had lost weight. Noticing the high temperature, holding a hand on a fair distance from her face as it lit up. Putting the hand with the yellow flame on his head which slowly taking its effect in healing him. It was something she learned from Reborn who was watching her do her work. His temperature was still a bit higher than normal but it was better now.
"I just wish that they come back soon to comfort him. Comfort the sky. Let him wrap them in happiness, warmth, and protection." letting herself be pulled closer to Tsuna and decide to let herself to also slip into the darkness. Reborn was there so she was at ease and she can easily jump into action if Tsuna has another nightmare or panic.
Lots of colors were mixing together making him dizzy and anything but well. He felt like if he was standing, he would throw up and fall down instantly. Slowly everything starts to die leaving 7 colored orbs to surround him. They would remind him of his friends making him want to reach out and hug them tightly refusing to let them go ever again. One by one, they would show him some images almost like a movie.
The red, an image of a silverette came to view standing up tall and straight with his smile loyal and proud. "Jyuudaime! Good morning!" Their first meeting of him trying to kill him for the seat of the head of the family just to be accepted by others. Lost but Tsuna took him in, accepting him for who he is and saving the male. That day on, the bomber swore to be by his side to protect him no matter what it takes. The image pass to an older man, more mature but with the same smile and posture. His eyes shone with trust and admiration for the man that choose to save him instead of letting him die. "Tsuna! Don't overwork yourself. I can help if you need any. Hahaha." He remembers clearly the process which it took for the other to finally call him by his name. He remembers every day they were together, Hayato was his first ever friend that he made so he can't ever forget that. The last image take him to the present, it was almost the same as the last but his smile wasn't there. The usual admiration now replace with horror, sadness, and betrayal. Scowling and hissing at him positioning himself in defense. "You're not Tsuna. Not my Jyuudaime!"
Tears made it's way down Tsuna's cheeks trying to step closer to the image but it flew at him hitting him hard and scatter into dust disappearing. Trying to laugh it off, "H-Hayato. What are you saying? I'm still the same old me, the one that you knew from 10 years ago. The one that you admire so much about. That's still me! I-I…...don't get it. What's so different now? Where's my storm that would attack the enemies without a rest? You're attacking the wrong person, Hayato. The one you're attacking right now is me, Gokudera Hayato."
Next, the blue orb displays its image of the black haired teen who wouldn't stop his grin for anything. "Tsuna! Yo!" The cheerful voice of the baseball ace echoes in Tsuna's ears exactly how he remembers the other from 10 years ago. Without knowing it, he also grins along with him feelings at peace. Developing into an older man with a scar on his chin but still, he was smiling without care. His eyes were mature but never has it lost the unseen strength hidden deep inside behind the smile. Takeshi had gotten that scar from the mission Tsuna had assigned him when they were still new to the familia, remembering how much he felt when he saw the scar. Each time he sees it, it reminds him that he needs to be stronger and better to protect them so the same mistake will not occur again. The last image had erased the smile and happiness off Takeshi's face. The peace broke, the rain had his hand holding onto his sword tight for the comfort but knowing what he saw can't be unseen. The scene of Tsuna covering in blood and the dead lifeless body at his feet. "Tsuna….why?" The next words he said didn't go through Tsuna's ears but he knew exactly what it was. 'You murdered.'
The orb dropped to the ground transforming into water increasing as if Tsuna's tears had turned the room into an ocean. "W-wait. I can explain! Takeshi! Please…..don't call me that. Stop looking at me with that kind of eyes, please bring back your smile that I love so mu-" Before he could say anymore, he felt a hand grab at his legs taking him down under the water. Not knowing how long he was under there but he struggles to get a breath. Panting as he got up to the surface, water disappears but leaving him dripping wet still choking to get air into his lungs. "Where is my rain that washes away the bad things from the family? What you're doing now isn't making me at ease. You're drowning me with the depression, Yamamoto Takeshi."
The green come close flashing an image of the 5 years old Lambo sucking on his grape candy happily like a young child would. The scene made Tsuna smile remember back when the child was still…...well, young. "Tsu-ni!" The 2nd picture come, at the part where Lambo is going through puberty. Thinking about it makes him a little sad not being able to be near his Guardian anymore despite them being so close. Things really have changed, haven't they? The last picture a grown teenager standing before him staring at him alarmed that his brother had done something like that. No longer does he have the innocent nor admiration in his eyes: same as the others. "Give him back! Give Tsu-ni back, you monster!" he cried despondently with the scene he had witnessed.
Paralyzed to his place knowing exactly how the other would react if Tsuna had tried to get closer. He saw it for too long and that Lambo wouldn't accept him for who he is at the moment. He's just dirty and not worth it so there's no way that Lambo can see the big brother in the present him. Even so, he still wanted to try wanting to have hope in this dream. "Lambo, I'm still your Tsu-ni. I'm right here so it's not nice to call me that. Please don't call that, my dear brother. Ni-san is here fo-" a shock came straight at him. Electricity. Bringing him unbearable pain all over his body. Gasping in pain but he continues, "Where is my little Lighting Guardian that is supposed to take away the pain? Lambo Bovino, you're just giving me more pain."
The yellow orb zipped around energetic earning a chuckle from Tsuna, he knew he was going to go through another torture but he didn't mind. At least he was seeing his Guardian regardlessly of it being a dream or just his memories. A white hair teen come to vision grinning and being extremely jumpy. "SAWADA! COME AND EXTREMELY JOIN THE BOXING CLUB!" True that it makes his ears hurts but it made him happy to have some kind of noise so he's not feeling so lonely. Next was a sight from when Ryohei was getting marry with Hana. The event made everyone surprised but happy for the boxer to have someone that he loves by his side. "Tsuna," Tsuna remembers his grin as he was waved over for a picture of the group with the 2 newlyweds. His respect for the other as his big brother have increased over the years for the boxer had worked hard to learn to become the doctor of the family. "Get away from Lambo!" pulling the frozen Lambo away from Tsuna's outreaching bloody hand. Observing how much he was shaking but manage to stand in front of Lambo protectively. "Tsuna wouldn't do something like this!"
Tsuna flinch but screamed back, "But I AM Tsuna! Why can't you accept me just because of this? Why are you slapping my hands away, Ryo-ni? Don't you trust me to know what I'm doing? I swore to protect you all didn't I?" The orb shone a bright light into his eyes making him close them quickly before continuing. "Is the brother that I can rely on not here anymore?" A cracking noise breaks through with the light disappearing leaving nothing but the darkness there. "You're supposed to shine us on the right road, my Sun. It's so dark, I can't see anything, Sasagawa Ryohei."
"Bossu, a-are you a-alright?" Surrounded by mist, an image of the shy female come up hugging her trident. Shaking his head and weakly smile telling her that he wasn't well without them here. He was going crazy, wasn't he? Talking to an illusion. Isn't that ironic? "Tsuna-kun, let's have a picnic." Her giggles fill his ears and he felt himself get pulled under the tree. She has matured a lot to handle all the pressure and taking care of herself without the help of Mukuro. Tsuna was planning a surprise for her but looks like he won't be able to give it to her anytime soon. Secretly going on finding the perfect organs for her so if the illusion was to disappear she wouldn't have any problems. Laughing at himself how he went through the work of everything without telling anyone but Reborn about the plan. He did got all his Guardians check and made sure to know to get the right organs ready for all of them. Chrome's took a bit longer but he maintains to get it together. But it's too late now. "T-Tsuna…..you're not him!"
"I am still Tsuna, your boss, brother, sky. Chrome, listen to me." the mist increased creating more illusions of painful images that he didn't bother to look at. "Don't cry, now. Those eyes are stabbing me in the heart. It's weird that my mist Guardian can't see through this. Seems like reality and illusion have gotten mix up for you, my dear Chrome Dokuro. Or…..should I say….Nagi."
A darker shade of indigo made a dark indigo mist surrounding him replacing the lighter ones. "Kufufufufufufu. I will success in taking over your body." the teasing tone that Tsuna never thought he misses so much. Smiling waiting for the bad part to come but still enjoying the good part of this. Mukuro frown not getting the response that he wanted but crack a small smile at him before he faints away. "Since you freed me, it'll be easier to possess your body and destroy this underworld. But…..thank you." hitting Tsuna's head with his trident whispering the last sentence. Tsuna feels something tugging his heart still looking at the taller man reminded of that time. That image disappears and another replace it of the male swinging the weapon at him making him jump back. "I can't believe you're becoming dirty just like them." Hateful and pain eyes glare down at him who was unable to do anything but stare back at the mismatch eyes.
"If only you guys will listen and stop those eyes. Have you thought of how much you're hurting me? I-I would never think of leaving your side when you all had your first killed! I would be there for you! Isn't that what family and friends are for? You can't even see through this fake mask that I put on my face. What can I do? What can I do to make you see?" the orb took the ground away and made illusions of enemies attacking him. "It's not this that hurts me. What hurts is that the strongest Mist user can't even see through this. You're using your power incorrectly, Rokudo Mukuro."
The last orb came out wondering around for a comfort spot with the fair distance away from Tsuna. It was just like his Cloud Guardian. The purple orb shows the image of the raven hair standing there smirking looking hunger for blood. "Herbivore…..no...carnivore, fight me." Tsuna gave a nod knowing he'll attack one way or the other. Rushing to him the image broke into the older male who hit Tsuna's head lightly. "Wipe that frown and sadness of your face, it's annoying. If not, I'll just bite you to death." Breaking again, this time, attacking Tsuna faster and harder than he can dodge from. The tone and Kyoya's expression changed completely nothing he would do often. His ears scream betrayal and hurt something that Kyoya wouldn't show. Something else tells Tsuna that he was also scared of him but still he said, "Vongola Decimo, fight me."
"Kyoya, please stop. It hurts more than enough. Please listen to me, Kyoya. Let me explain myself for once" Tsuna cried receiving more hits from the purple orbs. "Wipe that expression of your face. You're stronger than me but you're scared of me. Why? It makes no senses to me at all! Have you gotten attach to this Sky that it hurts that much? I feel the same way. You're also attacking the wrong person, Hibari Kyoya."
Waking up from the nightmare that was stabbing it's way to his heart. Looking down to find his lover there cuddling close keeping him safe and warm as much as her ability allows it. He realizes that she was sleeping uncomfortably so he could sleep well without worries. The man repositions his arms around and lets her head lay on his chest not willing to let her go at the moment, not after that dream. Resting his head on hers taking in her scent and warmth. Counting each breath and heartbeat of hers to make him feel calm again.
He smiles, kisses her head, thanking her for everything. But the tears couldn't be stopped from falling. So the male was there sobbing silently trying not to wake the sleeping female knowing she also needs it as much as how he did. Tsuna didn't want to worry her but he couldn't help but let himself drown in sadness releasing as much as he could.
Tsuna had blame for everything, why would he? He's the worst Sky for letting go of his elements when he can use his power to lock them up keeping them under his protection. He's the worst boyfriend and fiance for Kyoko. Seeing the tears gathering at the corner of her eye, he gently kisses them away.
"Do you regret coming to me? Do you misses your family and want to go back to them but have to hold back for me? I'm sorry that I'm just Dame-Tsuna that is so useless with no power to make you happy. Even so…." he pulls her closer whispering, "I just can't let you go."
