chapter summary: Tsuna tries to hide his wounds from his friends while he struggles to find out what happened that night, only to find

something he didn't want to.

Tsuna tried to act as normal as he could without agitating his wounds, but it proved difficult without alerting someone. He took great care to make sure nothing

and no one touched his right side, but there were moments he nearly blew his cover.

At one point during class the teacher had decided he needed to actively participate in class by going to the front and solving the problem on the board, and due

to his short stature he was forced to stretch his arm up to solve the problem his teacher, whom he now thought was too tall, had written. He had surprisingly gotten

the correct answer, but he had opened and widened his wounds.

As the class continued he forced the pain from leaking into his expression, but he needed to rewrap the wound as soon as possible or else everyone would know

of his injuries.

He took his chance when the lunch bell rang, he ran to the nurses office as soon as he could. He avoided Yamamoto and Gokudera, or anyone else he knew for that matter,

fearing they would see the growing blood stain.

Once the nurses office was in view, Tsuna dashed to the room. He entered quickly and nearly froze at the sight of Dr.Shamal sitting at the nurses station. He prayed

to any god in hopes Shamal would buy the lie he was about to try and sell.

"Uh, Shamal-sensei, I need some wraps and antiseptic...I scraped my knee pretty bad." The doctor only looked up for a second before tossing him the items he requested.

He smiled brightly, stunning the doctor, before taking off and shouting about returning the antiseptic later.

Tsuna did his best to quickly get to the bathroom without opening his wounds any further. When he was finally within the safety of the boys restrooms he went into a stall

and locked the door.

He cleaned his wounds the best he could with his limited supplies, before tightly wrapping his torso to prevent the wounds from opening anymore. After he was finished

he realized his shirt was already stained, although only slightly, he couldn't hide it without some trouble.

Tsuna did the only thing he could, he went to the front office and told them he had spilled juice on his shirt.

Tsuna was surprised how easily the school bought it, it also helped to have a nick name like 'No good Tsuna' at a time like this. He rushed back to the bathroom and changed his shirt and threw away the old one and shoved it to the botom. He washed his hands and put on his vest as well just in case it started to bleed, no one would notice for a while then.

As Tsuna walked back to class, having no time to eat, he thought of an excuse for his two loyal, and overly protective friends. He knew if either had the chance they would lock him up

and try to protect him from everything, especially Yamamoto as things were starting to become all too reall to the baseball player as he realized the danger.

And if either knew he was attacked and not only that, severely wounded, they would go on rampage destroying everything in their path.

He honestly had no idea why they liked him so much, after all he was no good.

'Don't say that, I like you because your my cute Tsuna-chan.' Tsuna froze, eyes widening in horror and surprise. Tsuna quickly spun around looking for anyone out of the ordinary or even slightly suspicious, but nothing. He was still tense and ready to fight, he was not paranoid, he was prepared.

'Ha ha ha! So cute! You have gone from a rabbit to a kitten with claws!' The mirthful voice was taunting and familiar, though he didn't know why. The voice was in a way comforting, yet

sent a shiver of fear and dread through him. The voice was illusive in its familiarity and frustratingly calm and gleeful, there was another thing he knew about this voice, who ever it belonged to

was with out a doubt insane. The voice belayed the insanity of its holder greatly, and it frightened him.

'You got it right! Tsuna-chan is so smart, yes I am insane, or should I say WE are insane...'

"W-what?" Tsuna mumbled the question, his voice unsure and weak from surprise. "What d-do you mean we!"

'Exactly what is implied Tsu-chan, I am you, and you are me. To be more precise, I am what you are not, your alter ego. I am your other half. I am the manifestation of

your insanity, or you are the manifestation of my own.' The answer was harsh to him, he began to shake as the words sunk in.

Suddenly he felt warm and comforted like he was being embraced. "W-what is going on?" He wanted to scream, but couldn't find the energy to do so. It just felt to good.

'So you like me embracing your soul? Ha ha ha! That means you like me! Don't worry Tsu-chan, I am only here so I can protect you...I am the only one who

knows you, truly. I know your every secret, every desire, every wish...I know everything about you...and soon you will know everything about me... but for now

I will simply be here for you when you need me...You must only will me to appear...' Tsuna was in a daze, but still managed to ask a question he desperately wanted the answer to.

"W-what is your name?" The young boy shivered as he felt a caress upon his soul. 'My name?...I don't have one...' The answer was not expected, but Tsuna wouldn't settle for it.

"I'll call you Ketsueki, because you remind me of an insane person who loves blood." Tsuna gave a weak smile.

'Ket..sue...ki...?...heh...heh..ha ha ha!' Tsuna knew by the insane laughter he liked it very much, and he himself couldn't help but imagine what that grin would look like.

'You'll be able to see it soon, Tsu-chan, very soon.'

Tsuna had gotten through the rest of the day without a hitch, but all he could seem to think about was Ketsueki, he wanted to know why he was there, when he came to exist

and what he looked like. His curiosity and anxiousness unknowingly reached his gleeful alter ego.

Tsuna barely flinched when Reborn came into his room and held a gun telling him to study, he revealed to the tutor he was already done much to the chagrin of the infantile

teacher.

"Thats a first...whats wrong with you..." Reborn was obviously suspicious, and Tsuna waved him off telling him he had nothing better to do and he just no longer wanted threats. In truth

he had done it and shocked himself, but he suspected Ketsueki was also apart of it.

"I think I am going to bed early, I am tired." Tsuna yawned and began to change for bed, ignoring Reborn's gaze upon him.

Tsuna's eyes were filled with horror as he stared at the burning bodies and heard the screams, and the blood, the blood was every where. Before Tsuna could begin to scream he heard a

familiar voice, a voice that bled away the horrid scenery to something calmer, and far better.

Tsuna's tearful eyes fell upon his grinning mirror image with hard insane red cat like eyes. The boy who looked like him, yet not, stepped closer before taking a seat on a materializing stone bench behind

Tsuna.

The small fearful boy relaxed in the embrace that his otherself provided. "Ketsueki-kun..." The familiarity was allowed after all, only they knew each other best in this realm of dreams that only they

controlled. No one could take this away from them. Ketsueki rested his chin upon his girlish counter part.

"Its alright this is our world, I will protect you from anything, and everything in any and every world. no one will get in my way, or I'll kill them." The words were frightening and comforting to

Tsuna, but the boy gripped them fearcely all the same.

They were Two, They were one, they were nothing and everything to each other. In their world They ruled as one, yet seperately, either would do anything for the other even if it

broke every rule and law out there. They knew each other for only a day, yet it seemed a century inside their world, and thats how they liked it.
