Chapter 2: Scary Skylark the First
1st Gen. Era, Parallel World, Italy
3rd PoV
Italian Cafe
Tsuna couldn't bear to keep his loneliness in anymore. If Hayato did throw that bomb as Tsuna was teleported, there is a high chance he might be stuck in here for an indefinite amount of time. Forget high chance, his intuition is screaming he is stuck. Faintly, he could hear the three men trying to soothe him, but he only cried harder. Damn his child body for making him more emotional than he normally is!
"What do you mean you don't know anymore? Did something happened to your Family?" Giotto's voice finally finds its way to Tsuna's ears as he sniffles. He blinks, trying to wipe away his tiers, still whimpering from the negative thoughts. He wouldn't smile for a while, thats for sure. The old man lets out a soft sigh, having a good idea of what was spoken, as the raven, Asari, asked the waitress to get something for him. The lady went off into the kitchen, shouting in Italian to get something going. Tsuna whimpers more, his mind settling on Reborn. He was sure Reborn might be in this time, but he would have to find him on his own. "Young boy? Are you by yourself here?"
"Ah, yes," Tsuna said, attempting to stop the tiers so he could answer the earlier question. Giotto smiled softly and held out a handkerchief for him to use. Tsuna mumbles a quiet thanks to him as he uses it. Giotto waited for his answer as Tsuna tries to word his answers carefully. It wouldn't do to five anything away. "I got lost and I don't know where they are…" he finally says. The answer was truthful, and yet a lie. Giotto was torn between his nagging intuition and making Tsuna smile again. Didn't help he was fiercely protective of him for some reason. When Tsuna looked back up at him with those golden brown eyes, full of fears and wisdom, he couldn't help falling for the boy more. Giotto smiles wider, chuckling softly at his adorableness, as he runs a hand through the seven-years-old's crazy hair. It was similar to his, no doubt his dear friend noticed. Asari kept his mouth shut, though, as Tsuna returned to sitting on the old man's lap. It was just as Giotto stood up, moving out of the way for the waitress with the food. Giotto blinks, a bit shocked at the timing. Tsuna giggles at his expression, finding his ancestors shock amusing. Giotto just laughs it off, messing up Tsuna's always messy hair, making the boy grin brightly.
"So cute! I don't I can keep myself from eating your cute expressions up!" Asari exclaimed, grinning widely at the adorable boy.
"Th-thank you for your help." Tsuna said once got over his embarrassment. Though his stuttering reddened his face with a blush. Giotto had to hide his smile with his hand as Asari laughed gently. The boy looks so cute when he's blushing! The waitress giggled too before serving Tsuna some crepes. His attention was quickly pulled to them as he starts drooling over the smell. It's at that moment Tsuna finally realized how hungry he is.
Very, very hungry.
"Itadakimasu!" Tsuna said gratefully, and eagerly, as he looks at the forks. His face must have given him away as Asari pulled out two wooden sticks out of his sleeve. They looked similar to chopsticks, so Tsuna takes them. He used them to cut off parts of the crepe into bitesize pieces. As he eats, Tsuna took small glances at Giotto, being aware of other's own Hyper Intuition. He couldn't afford exposing himself, not until he at least finds Reborn in this time and see if he already is an Arcobaleno. He knew the Arcobaleno's have the ability to travel to any Parallel world and times. It was the only lead he had to getting to his own Parallel world and time.
"Mah, mah. He has great manners, Giotto! Wish you would say that before the meals. It brings good luck!" Asari said as he lightly teased the blonde, making Tsuna swallows his food and grins brightly at Giotto. Definitely showing he was teasing him too. Giotto glares softly at his friend before sighing, knowing he might be right. Instead, he turns his eyes back to Tsuna, watching him get his cheeks dirty with crepes.
"I figured if I want good luck, I'll do it in the middle of 'those' and hope that you guys won't start another food fight." Giotto mumbles as his friend jokingly looked hurt by the comment before laughed. Giotto also laughs at their joke. Asari comes closer to Tsuna as he finished his meal. Though he stops as Tsuna claps his hands happily and says the final part.
"Gochisosama deshita."
"Mah, mah, you did it. I never thought that I would finally hear someone say the ending. Oh, almost forgot to introduce myself. My name's Ugetsu Asari, but you can call me Asari-nii, ne?" Asari said as Tsuna blinks then giggles a bit. He decides to use a different form of address, unconsciously giving off a smile that gave out evil-teasing intents. Giotto raised an eyebrow when he sees the smile, wondering just what the boy is up to. He didn't have to wait long as Tsuna smiled brightly at Asari.
"Asari-Oji!" Tsuna states, Making Asari groan slightly. The man was young, still in his early twenties, and already he was being called uncle by a child?! Giotto couldn't stop from breaking out in laughter leaving the old male still holding Tsuna and the nearby patrons confused. Giotto had to translate what happened in Italian, making the people laughed and gentle poke fun of the raven. Asari calmly retorted, joining in on the joke like the easy going man he was. Tsuna blinks at them, completely lost to their words, which reminds him of what he needed to do.
He looks out the window, wondering what he should do to live while searching for Reborn. Giotto, however, notices Tsuna's worries, as if the boy didn't know what to do now, which was true since Tsuna can't poker face outside of HDWM to save his life. An idea suddenly came to mind. It was sure to liven up the Famiglia.
"What's your name? My name is Vongola Giotto." Giotto said with a grin, snapping Tsuna's back to him. Tsuna blinked and spaced out for a bit, thinking of what he should say, then grins. He tilted his head a bit, struggling to get down and stand on his own feet. He figured he would have to walk around for a while, but he wasn't sure on how to protect himself. He had his fighting gear, it having slammed him before the bazooka landed, but he wasn't sure it would help in his current size. Tsuna, as to not raise any suspicion, kept his smile going. Though it strained as Giotto found his struggles amusing.
"I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. Thank you for the meal and support." Tsuna bowed, finally on the ground. He had to stop himself from calling Giotto uncle, or even dad. He didn't want to leave other's warm aura, which reminded him of the extremely rare moments Iemitsu had held him in his childhood. Giotto, too, didn't want to see the boy leave. For one he felt his intuition pushing him to take the kid in. Another reason is he was too cute and forced him to restrain himself in public the entire time. It would embarrass his best friend back at the mansion, not to mention harping at him for it.
Giotto's attention was diverted as he felt something big was to come. His head snapped to Tsuna, who had taken the chance to leave. Tsuna had to force himself to keep walking. He couldn't turn back and stop, knowing that would give him away.
As Tsuna exited the Cafe he allowed himself a moment to smiles softly as he looked outside. It was warm, warm enough for him to start and see what his limits were. After all, he hasn't been in his seven-year-old body in years. Tsuna, however, was older in his mind now. With having maintained his memories, he will try fight without his flames, gloves, and pills. Well, it's a shame he passed up on those self-defense classes that time when his mother was especially worried. The memory brought tears to his eyes as he cursed mentally. He can't go remembering those things now, he had work to do! Just as that thought crossed his mind he sensed a few horses coming in at a worrying speed. He looked down, having been staring at the mildly clouded sky. He heard them before seeing, and once he did he quickly recognized the riders. It was the Thug and his goons. Tsuna, startled, lets out a loud yelp as he avoided the sweeping hands that tried to grab him. He then turns the opposite direction of the riders and ran without a second thought. His Intuition was literally screaming at him. The only thing he could understand from it was: RUN YOU DAME-TSUNA! RUN! DO YOU WANT TO BE CUT OPEN OR WHAT? JUST FUCKING RUN!
Somewhere in the world, Reborn let out an unintentional hmm amusement. The others gave him a look, feeling pity for the unfortunate victim as they continued discussing the disturbances and finding their source. Well, Reborn guess he could visit Giotto again and see if Talbot has any ideas of what happened.
Back to the running tuna, he was currently trying to escape the riders. Though yet again he crashed into another person. He stumbled back onto his butt and began rubbing his head. He really needed to stop doing that.
"What are you doing in the middle of the street?" Asked an ice-cold voice, making Tsuna snap his head up. He whimpered at the sight of his cloud guardian's look-alike. Alaude was the name that came to mind as Tsuna stared at him, terrified look on his face. Luckily for him his intuition made him look back, alerting the Skylark male. Alaude narrowed his eyes as he saw why Tsuna was running. He pulls out his handcuffs, intent to protect the boy that was now hiding behind him.
"Alaude! Why are you doing here?" Giotto voice rang out over the loud noise as the riders came closer. They didn't slow down, but were more cautious with Alaude taking out his handcuffs. The leading Thug once more comes close and aims his arm for Tsuna. He came to regret that as Tsuna dropped to the ground just as Alaude swung his cuffs, making a gash appear on the Thug's face.
"I'll cuff you to death for attempted kidnapping."
