A/N: Thanks for the alerts everyone! And thanks to the people who reviewed!
Now. Continuation!
By the way, from now on, words in italics will be things going through Yama-chan's mind, unless I specify otherwise! ^^
Lost and Found
The exchange student stood at the front of the class, glaring at the excited fangirls as the teacher introduced him. Moving quickly, he knocked over Tsuna's desk, scaring the short brunette.
"Is something wrong?" asked Hayato worriedly as he watched the tall swordsman.
Remembering his surroundings, Yamamoto blinked slightly before laughing. "Everything's fine! Your name just sounded kind of familiar, that's all! Alright, your name's Hayato! I've got it!" Even he could tell that his words sounded strained.
Unconvinced, the silver-haired man looked at his host suspiciously before deciding to drop the subject. "Then, I'll go to bed now, if you don't mind," he said politely.
"Not at all! Feel free to use any of the things in my house if you need to!" came the cheerful reply.
As he watched his guest leave, Yamamoto kept his smile. But as soon as the man disappeared into the hallway, the Rain guardian held his forehead anxiously.
"What was that memory just now?" he thought.
"Hayato! Would you like to come to meet my workmates today?" called Yamamoto cheerfully.
The man's ears perked up in interest. "Could I? I don't want to be a burden or anything."
"No, no! They'd be happy to meet my new friend!"
"...Alright."
The two set off into the morning sun.
After a bit of walking, Yamamoto turned onto a small, hidden road. "I'm sorry, my workplace is pretty well-hidden. We can't let civilians accidentally come here, after all."
Curious, Hayato looked down the path. "What's your job?" he asked, wondering what kind of profession might need to be so secretive.
The tall swordsman grinned at him. "Don't be shocked or anything, but I'm in the Mafia!" he answered happily, as if it were perfectly normal.
The shorter male wasn't too surprised. Looking around Yamamoto's house last night, he had found various weapons, as well as books and documents on assassinations. "The Mafia... That sounds like an interesting life..." he said thoughtfully.
"It certainly is!" replied the other. "Come, we're almost there."
Pushing away a few branches, Yamamoto stepped aside to reveal a large mansion. "Here we are!" he announced proudly to his companion.
Hayato was amazed at the sight of the large building. Everything about it was so... grand. He couldn't remember any structure that could compare to this one. "Wow..." was all he could all he could say.
The swordsman smiled knowingly. "It sure is amazing, huh?" But suddenly, something flashed in his mind.
The group stared through the car window as the mansion came into sight. All seven of them were amazed at the pure royal-feel of the building. Even the silver-haired one, who had been here several times before.
Shaking his head, Yamamoto brought himself out from the memory. "Another one," he thought. Clearing his mind, he smiled once more. "Let's go!" he called and after making sure the other man was following, he entered the building.
"Good morning, Tsuna!" called the Rain guardian as he pushed open the door to the large office.
"Ah, Yamamoto, nice to see you!" replied the brunette with a soft smile.
The said man moved aside slightly to reveal his companion. "I brought a friend today! You can trust him with knowledge of our Family!"
Hayato stepped forward shyly before bowing. "N-Nice to meet you," he said in greeting. But when he received no reply, he looked up to see the Mafia Boss' eyes were wide in shock.
"Go-Gokude..." Tsuna's words faded as his eyes took in the sight. That clump of silver hair. Those large, green eyes. The pale skin. All of it was the same. Sitting up violently, he pulled the swordsman to the side.
"Yamamoto!" he whispered forcefully. "Where did you find him?"
Confused, the tall man blinked before answering, "He was lying injured and unconscious on the road. I healed his wound, and now he's living with me."
Continuing his interrogation, Tsuna spoke again. "And you don't know who he is? Absolutely no idea?"
"Well, I know that his name is Hayato," came the reply. "Why? You don't need to worry about him being from an enemy Family. I'm sure that he's not lying to me."
Tsuna shook his head. "That's not what I'm concerned about. And... he didn't know anything about the Vongola either?"A quick nod was his answer.
Sighing, the Vongola Jyuudaime stood up and turned to the newcomer.
"Sorry about that!" he said, smiling. "Welcome to the Vongola mansion! Feel free to come here whenever you want! I'll be happy to have you here!"
Hayato was surprised at the kindness he felt in the man's words. "T-Thank you. I am honoured, Jyuudaime!" he said, bowing low.
Tsuna observed this sadly, remembering something that he had lost. "No. Thank you for returning," he whispered, almost inaudible.
A/N: Alright! It's longer this time, and it'll probably keep getting longer! ^^
