Chapter Two
Reflections
After the last class, Gokudera said he needed to buy a new suit for the inheritance ceremony and he couldn't escort Tsuna to his house. Yamamoto had baseball training and couldn't miss, Ryohei had the boxing club, Chrome had already gone and Hibari Kyoya was out of option. Then, the brown haired boy walked alone to his house, reflecting while he increased his pace.
Reborn can only be kidding me, to have this ceremony so suddenly... It's almost three years since that first ceremony was interrupted but still… I can't do it!
He thought and looked to his Vongola Gear of Sky Attribute, which fit perfectly in his fingers. For a moment he thought he saw it shine, then he quickly blinked, but it was normal as ever.
''Tsu-kun?''
''Okaa-san?'' Tsuna asked looking at his mother who was leaving home. ''Where are you going?''
''I need to buy some vegetables for your lunch for tomorrow.'' Said the lady closing the door behind her.
''You don't have to, 'kaa-san!'' Tsuna said leading his mother back into their house. ''It's late, you shouldn't leave so late. I can buy yakisoba bread tomorrow at school then.''
''Are you sure, Tsu-kun?'' She said, taking her shoes off.
''Hai, hai.'' He said and took off his shoes at the entrance hall. ''Okaa-san, is Reborn here?''
''Reborn-kun?'' She thought for a moment before answering with the index finger pointing to the upstairs. ''He asked me to tell you that when you've got home you're supposed to meet him up there.''
''Thank you, 'kaa-san!'' Tsuna said, already running up the stairs.
''And what about the dinner, Tsu-kun?'' Asked his mother.
''I'll eat later!''
Tsuna opened the door of his room while he shouted the name of the tutor.
''Reborn! We need to talk about that letter!'' He called the baby hitman. ''What… What are you doing?'' He asked when he saw Reborn closing a little black suitcase.
''I have to go to Italy, I have a meeting with the Ninth.'' He said walking towards the boy.
''A meeting with the Ninth?'' Tsuna asked confused. ''Why?''
''Didn't I said?''
''Of course not! Otherwise why would I be asking?'' The other asked irritated.
''I forgot,'' Said Reborn making innocent look. ''Because I'd to announce about the ceremony to your guardians.''
''Don't say that making that face!'' He shouted again. ''Ah… Geez!''
''Don't cause many problems for Mama while I'm gone, dame-Tsuna.'' Reborn said when he stopped in the doorway. ''And try to stay alive in the meantime.'' And with a sadistic smile on his face he started to walk down the stairs.
Tsuna sighed when he saw that Reborn was already away.
''He said that kind of thing with that creepy smile of him...'' Tsuna muttered to himself. ''This worries me. A lot!''
That night, Tsuna was very worried to sleep relaxed. He raised his hand as if to touch something, possibly the ceiling, and looked to his Vongola Gear giving a long sigh before turning to the side of the bed while continuing to face the device. (A/N: I don't know how to call it! It was so easy when it was still a ring...)
So I don't even have a choice? In the ten-years future, when we went to the future two years ago, I was the Vongola's boss. So that means I've already decided even though I'm not yet made fully aware of it?—He asked himself, closing his eyes tightly. Actually, I was wondering what led me to make that decision. Ah… No, I think I know why, I just don't want to have to think about it.
Tsuna turned again to look the ceiling, staring at any particular point before he sighed again.
Ah, mou! Will I get to sleep?
It didn't take ten minutes and he was already asleep.
The next day, Tsuna woke up too late and when he realized it, he had only twenty minutes to do everything and still try to get at school in time. Without Reborn to wake up him with his unconventional methods made Tsuna sleep more than his tutor would have allowed. Then, he dressed as fast as he could and quickly he went to the kitchen to, at least, appropriately eat the breakfast this time. He couldn't make the same mistake he did last time. No. He has to enjoy Reborn wasn't around to take his breakfast saying that he couldn't daydream or his food could be stolen.
''Tsu-kun, you woke up late today.'' Said his mother laying eggs and miso soup for her son.
''It's true, Mama.'' Said Fuuta smiling. ''It's been a while since Tsuna-nii woke up too late.''
''I could sleep a little more since Reborn isn't here.'' He said yawning while sitting in his chair. ''Itadakimasu!''
''Don't eat too fast, or you may choke.'' She alerted looking to her child with a glow of pride in her eyes, her Tsu-kun was already grown up and becoming a man.
''I don't have time for this! If I'm late...'' He said between chewing slices of egg and sips of soup. ''The teacher will draw attention to me again, and I already have enough on me...''
''Ara, ara'' She sighed and looked to the cow-boy, Lambo, he was eight years now. ''Lambo-kun, no needs to rush.''
''I want more, Mama!'' He said lifting the pot of rice.
''Lambo, no! It's already your third pot of rice!'' Said I-pin, scolding Lambo.
''I-pin-chan, don't worry.'' Said Nana with a kind voice while she was putting more rice to Lambo. ''Here, Lambo-kun.''
''I'm leaving now, 'kaa-san, Lambo, Fuuta, I-pin!'' Tsuna said getting up and in seconds he left the house.
In an unknown place
''So, that's the Tenth Vongola?'' Inquired a hoarse male voice.
''Hai, master.'' Said a young male voice. ''Shall I do?''
''No. His friends are coming.'' The first man said, and at the same time, in another place; Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei and his sister Sasagawa Kyoko joined the young Vongola. ''Did you saw? We need to catch Sawada Tsunayoshi without his guardians, this is our mission.''
''Catch Sawada Tsunayoshi off his guard? Hai, Mr. Cappellari!''
''When the boss falls, the subordinates has no idea what to do. With no boss, the Vongola of the Tenth Vongola cease to exist.'' Said the older man systematically. ''I want you to keep an eye on him, follow every step Sawada Tsunayoshi take.''
''Hai, master.''
''Very soon, I'll prepare the rest of my beloved guardians to each of the Vongola Guardians.'' And he added in a cold voice. ''Wait and see, Tenth Vongola.''
Namimori High School 3-A Class
It was a typical History class. The teacher was speaking about facts, years and writing things on the board. Yamamoto, as usual, was sleeping on his desk and Gokudera was with an attitude clearly not according to his grades (this guy is a genius, really), Enma-kun and his guardians also didn't pay any attention in class. Unlike normal, Tsuna was playing with his pencil in his fingers, impatiently rotating it.
Why class doesn't ends right now? And then we'll even have P.E! This day today couldn't be worse… It's being a torture, worse when Reborn's here!—Tsuna thought while he looked forward at the clock in the class' wall.
Twenty minutes. Ten minutes. Four minutes. Forty seconds. Ten seconds. Two, one second.
It's over!
''I need to run or I won't be able to buy the bread.'' He said to himself and greeted his friends, Gokudera and Yamamoto, before rushing out of the class.
''Juudaime?'' Gokudera stunned asked seeing his boss ran out the class.
''Haha, Tsuna was very excited today, ne Gokudera?'' Yamamoto asked with his hands behind his head.
Twelve days until the Vongola's inheritance ceremony
Tsuna and Gokudera walked side by side, talking while they hadn't arrived at the brunette's house. Gokudera has apologized for not having realized that Tsuna wasn't with his lunch and needed to buy one.
''G-Gokudera-kun!'' Tsuna said, trying to calm down the gray-haired boy. ''There's no need to you apologize for something so trivial, I bought the yakisoba bread after all, right?''
Although I almost died in the midst of that crowd—He thought, remembering the scene from earlier.
''But still, Juudaime! Those fucking bastards pushing you! Unforgivable!'' He said as if reading the mind of the boy.
''Hehe…'' Tsuna laughed awkwardly. Gokudera was with a bad mouth even worse, if that could be possible.
''But today it's too silent, should it be 'cause the sports freaks aren't here.'' He said showing a face that clearly said he wasn't worrying about it.
''Onii-san had to follow Kyoko-chan who went shopping with Kurokawa and Yamamoto went straight home to help his father in the restaurant.'' Said the brunette remembering the two, and even Sasagawa Kyoko, who apologized for couldn't accompany him to his house. ''Anyway, I am worried with this meeting Reborn had to go. With the Ninth, you know.''
''With the Ninth?'' Asked Gokudera suddenly interested.
''Hai,'' Tsuna said, telling Gokudera everything that Reborn told him when he left the house last night. ''In the end, he didn't told me why he was going to a meeting with the Ninth.''
''Perhaps he couldn't, Juudaime?'' Speculated the gray-haired boy. ''It can be... Top Secret.'' He said, with his eyes shining, just thinking about that possibility.
''Now that you mentioned it... It may be true!'' Tsuna exclaimed worried, thinking of various things, from the most unimportant things to the murder cases and cases envolving to attack rival famiglie. ''Hiiii ~! I just hope it isn't involved with this inheritance ceremony or anything envolving me.''
''You don't have to worry, Juudaime!'' Gokudera said trying to cheer his boss with a light-heartedtone, but then he switched to a more serious tone and a more focused look. ''Anything, I'll always be here to protect you, no matter how many years pass!''
''Gokudera-kun...'' Tsuna said slowly, absorbing those beautiful words spoken by his Storm Guardian, but mostly and not least important, his friend Gokudera Hayato. ''Thank you!''
Suddenly, with his Hyper Intuition, Tsuna felt someone watching them from the shadows. He turned his head toward to a tree in the park, but he saw nothing except the shadow of the tree itself designed in the sandy floor. He laughed at himself for having such a thought and he kept going.
Must have been my imagination.
Wrong. How wrong he was, right there in that tree, only in the back of it, a man about twenty years on average and short blond hair watched Sawada Tsunayoshi and Gokudera Hayato walking while they were friendly talking. They didn't know that soon they wouldn't talk like that and no longer can walk to Tsuna's house, just like ordinary boys. They barely knew they had a little time together before the brightness of the sky died out of their world.
End of the Chaper Two
A/N: I decided to post this chapter as soon as I could, even if this story hasn't had many reviews. But it is only the beginning, isn't it? I was expecting this. I promised longer chapters, but wait...they'll come! Soon! Well, I decreased the number of words in Japanese, to not cause any confusion later. And again, I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes, as I've already said I'm not exactly good in grammar (My goodness! I hope my high school teachers doesn't read this!)
To Chiaki Fidelite - Element Star: Thank you for your comment (which was, by the way, the first!). Yeah, I know ''Mou!'' can mean ''Geez!'' or ''Enough!'' but I was still uncertain, but thanks! Thanks to you I'm sure that ''Mou'' means that. I've replaced the ''Mou'' by ''Geez!'' in this chapter, if you have realized. I hope you enjoy this chapter :3
Well, I'll say some interesting things for those who doesn't noticied yet. Tsuna is a senior year student (and I don't know if in Namimori has a Namimori High, but possibly has), so which means that Ryohei Sasagawa's already graduated from high school as well as Kyoya Hibari. I decided to let Enma and the Simon Guardians still study at Tsuna's school, it's more interesting, isn't it? Ahh...and about the summary, I couldn't put on it but this story has Time Travel, when time comes you'll see what I mean.
So, what you think about this chapter? Write your critique, I won't bite you (I'm not like Hibari!) And see you again in the next chapter ~
